Chương 686: Hong Lin Kingdom's Secrets

Lin Mu continued to listen to the conversion of the royal nephew, and uncle as they talked.

"But what is it that they wanted with us, Uncle Kou?" The king questioned.

"Oh, it was the same old, people needing thousand year old Hong Lin trees. I told him that we don't have the location for any such trees as of now. Instead of that, we are willing to provide them some wood from our own reserve storage that they can take." Kou answered.

Hearing this, the king furrowed his brows. 

"Hmm… the number of Hong Lin trees that reach a thousand years has greatly fallen over the years for us. I think it may be time to enact the measures father had chosen back then." The king spoke upon hearing Kou.

"Those measures were controversial and you know that. If we really do announce them, our trade will fall and so will the taxes we gain from our people." Kou replied.
