Chapter 25: Nope
What did Hao Jiazhi found that made him change his plan?
Saffron, the world's most expensive spice
Hao Jiazhi, not even his wildest dream he ever thought that he will see saffron in this world and that too in a place where he never imagined it would be
And right now there are hundreds of saffron flowers in front of him as if all these flowers are saying "COME AND PICK ME NOW!!!"
Hao Jiazhi wasted no more time and went straight to Hao Tai's house
"Big Sister, I need to have talked with you right now" Hao Jiazhi said as he enters Hao Tai's room
But he changed his mind immediately and came outside
"I'll wait in the guest room" Hao Jiazhi said and went straight towards the Guest room
Inside Hao Tai's room-
"Such a lecherous man, he doesn't even know the manners of visiting a girls room" Pan Bo said in her angry tone as she held a beautiful dress
Beside her is Hao Tai half naked on her bed
She giggled a bit and said "it's ok, he is my brother so he can drop some formalities. Seems like he has something urgent to talk about"
After some time-
Hao Tai came to the guest room with Pan Bo (she is pulling the wheelchair)
"What's the matter?" Hao Tai asked Hao Jiazhi
With a smile, Hao Jiazhi came near Hao Tai and gets down on his knees to have a talk with her face to face
He said "I can help you in this situation but I have a condition"
Hearing that this whole war-like situation can be resolved, Hao Jiazhi became all happy and said that she will agree with all of his condition
This is good but still, Hao Jaizhi told her that in return for helping her, he would need land near the border area under his control.
Something Hao Jiazhi never did in his past life as he made sure to make people accept his deal without letting them know the condition, but here he told Hao Tai about the condition.
It seems like he has a soft spot for her, or is it just a pity
She will be the main head but all the power and work done on that land will be controlled by him
To Hao Tai, that land is nothing big as it's only barren land in her eyes, so she said yes.
And so Hao Jiazhi made his plan to solve this whole problem and how he will implement his Plan B
What is Plan B?
After taking control over his own Province, Hao Jiazhi wanted to take another province also and the first province he wanted to take is his big sister's province Kuwon
To others, Province Kuwon is just a barren plain land but to Hao Jiazhi; it is the biggest province that would be the future backbone of the whole kingdom
The land may not be fertile but if somehow, irrigation is done on regular bases and also manure used properly
Then the whole province could generate enough food for the whole kingdom that it can literally monopolies the whole kingdom's food on every table
It is a long process, according to Hao Jiazhi's calculation it will take around 2-4 years time to fully upgrade the whole province and a good amount of money will be also nodded
And this is Plan B
He wanted to first control his own province first then move on to the next but now that situation is grim, he has to begin his Plan B as he doesn't want his most expensive item to break or get burned in this war
But the situation is not that mild as Hao Jiazhi thought, its fucking much worse than he had imagined
Tengyuan Kingdom is like a golden parrot in a cage
Golden Parrot because this kingdom is full of natural resources like gold, soil fertility, water source, etc-etc
In Cage, because this kingdom is surrounded by 3 big kingdoms and they all want a piece of it
But, because each one is a superpower on its own, they won't share it. So all of them made a neutral pact with the Tengyuan Kingdom
They all only care about lands that have some resource, not the barren land so they don't care about Province Kuwon
And because Tengyuan Kingdom's is not so strong to face these big kingdoms, the emperor will avert his eyes away as he is not losing some big thing here
In the end, no one will help him, including his own mother.
Song Xia is rich but only in this kingdom, not one other kingdom, so her powers are limited
This made Hao Jiazhi full of worry as there is no way he can let his chance to become a billionaire go away in front of his eyes
So what to do now?
Hao Jiazhi himself knows that if he, as a prince, attacks the enemy army then for sure the whole kingdom will face a big trouble
He doesn't care about the people or kingdom but still, this kingdom is his money bag. So there is no way he can let situations go worst for his money bag
Hao Jiazhi kept on thinking as he moves around in his bedroom (guest room, night time)
"Let's call them" Hao Jiazhi said as he gets out of his room to the stable where his chariot is.
He goes inside the chariot and takes a birdcage out, and inside that birdcage is an eagle
He takes the eagle out and ties a letter on the leg of the eagle, and then he said "Be fast" as he sends the eagle away
A few days later-
The enemy is taking his own time as they are moving very slowly and slowly towards the border of Kuwon, as if they know it is their win
As the day passes by, the enemy came closer and closer. And now they are just in front of the border.
The battle will take place tomorrow or the day after tomorrow
Right now Hao Jiazhi is standing under trees, its morning time, and looking at the sky
From somewhere came a voice of an eagle and then an eagle appeared that came straight towards Hao Jiazhi
Hao Jiazhi has also sent a letter to Han Yachun with his crow, so right now he doesn't have his crow
The eagle came and sat on the shoulder of Hao Jiazhi
It had a letter tied to one of his legs
Hao Jiazhi took the letter out and gave a smile as he read what's inside it
He then took a letter out of his pocket and then tied his letter to the eagle, then sends it away one more time
"Prince Hao Jiazhi, Princess Hao Tai has called you for lunch" A servant said to Hao Jiazhi
Hao Jiazhi nodded and went inside the dining hall with her
While eating food, Hao Tai asked "Were you able to get any help?"
Hao Jiazhi smiled and said "Nope"
His smile clearly told Hao Tai that everything is done and he just don't want to expose thing, after all, if he really didn't find any help then why would he even smile

Chapter 26: Outsmarting smartness
Its night time and we are at the enemy base right now
The scene here is quite a happy and joyous one and no one could say that these soldiers will be putting their life on the line in tomorrow's battle
"Soldier, after tomorrows battle, let's go home okay!!!" a man, probably general, said to his soldiers making sure that his soldiers moral are up
But they all don't know that they are not the only one who is in this plain dry land
There are various shadows that are approaching them while staying low and all of them had worn black clothes around them making it harder to notice them
Who are they?
They are '5 Shadows'
"You brought the herbs?"
"yes, I have"
"Assassin team, be on your guard and make sure that those who are left alive are dead, especially their general"
"Don't worry"
"We will attack at midnight. For now, all team shall stay flat on the ground"
Mao Xue and XuHai are the only ones that have come in this attack, as the rest are in their places maintaining things
Behind them are 100 men and females in the team. All of them have crossbows swords with the, as for assassins/females, they have poisons and daggers
The herb they are talking about is a special type of herb that is used to make people fall asleep when burned or used in liquid items when crushed
At midnight, when the night is full and various men have fallen asleep
Mao Xue and Xuhai begin their attack
They first burned the herb a little so it won't attract any attention and then waved the smoke into the enemy direction
"ouaaaa… why am I feeling so sleepy" a guard/soldier on duty said as he looked at the sky
Soon, he and many other people started falling asleep
"Let's go" Mao Xue said to his men and then begins the show of blood
At Hao Tai's mansion-
*knock-Knock*
*knock-Knock*
*knock-Knock*
Someone is really trying hard to break the door or trying bets to wake the person inside the room wake up
"Little brother… Little brother…" Hao Tai called HaoJiazhi as she kept on knocking on the door
Finally, Hao Jiazhi opened the door and asked the reason for this late-night visit but to his surprise, Hao Tai is not alone but she also has a female soldier by her side
"Bai Hong came straight from the border and she told me that a fight broke in the enemy army and a few men's killed the whole army
Was it you who did this?" Hao Tai asked Hao Jiazhi
Hao Jiazhi gave a smile and said "Nope, how can I? I was sleeping all day here.
But, now that the enemy is done… this province is safe"
Bai Hong didn't smile at this as she could clearly tell from Hao Jiazhi's expression that it was him
It's not like she is angry at him but rather she wants to know why he doesn't want to take credit for it
"Little brother, if you are the one behind that attack then I am really thankful for helping me but this could make things really difficult as the Liaohua Kingdom won't tolerate it
Hao Jiazhi gave smile and said "Sister, I told you didn't I…
I am not the one behind that attack
I did nothing, but now that this problem is done… I hope you could help me in something (referring to his deal)"
Hao Tai didn't push her words on him anymore and said "Ok, let's talk in the morning then… Sorry for disturbing you"
Hao Tai bid her words and was about to leave when HaoJiazhi said something to her
He said "Big sister, let me give you a piece of advice… Don't believe in people around you as there are not many who are really loyal to you… Good night"
His sudden word made Hao Tai all confused but soon she and Bai Hong understood what he meant, only pure stupid people won't understand
The reason for this sudden advice is due to the keen senses of Hao Jiazhi
In the past few days, he had noticed some change in servants face, as new people came to work here in place of someone else and these new people are taking some good amount of interest in him
Especially when he is sending his eagle and crow away
. . .
At the Dongping Kingdom-
"A letter from my friend him..." Lu Long said as he looks at a scroll
He opens it and then gives a wide smile
"What happened, my lord? something good?" His attendant, XuYijun, asked as he puts a cup of tea on the table
With a smile, Lu Long said, "4th prince wants to establish his business relationship with me and needs help in opening his own store in the capital city.
I should help him, right?"
"yes, my lord" Xi Yijun said with a smile
Lu Long is fighting with his brother for the throne of this kingdom.
Though there are only 2 heirs, still both of them excel in their own field and both of them are giving each other a hard fight. Both of them have the highest chances of getting the throne
So, if Lu Long is able to somehow subdue HaoJiazhi the son of Song Xia, the women who hold the economy of Tengyuan Kingdom
Then, his chance of getting the throne will become 100%, as he will be bringing a golden parrot to his kingdom
Or that's what he thinks as he is laughing like an idiot villain
After all, it's not just him who knows that he knows what the other one not knows
In truth, both of them know about each other
(Damn I am getting confused now)
Lu Long thinks that he can outsmart the smartness of Hao Jiazhi as he knows his true self but in truth, Hao Jiazhi has long outsmarted his out smartness with his great smartness
(Now my brain is shutting down due to this out smartness)
How did Hao Jiazhi outsmarted Lu Long before they confront each other?
Know it in the next chapter
