Chapter 259: Nothing to lose, a ghost!
The average person might get angry.
But Robb isnt angry, instead, he actually thinks his little Queen sister is actually quite good, in this kind of thing, if she gives way again and again, she wont look like a national leader.
Robb said with a smile, "well, fine. You dont want to release them, I dont want to kill people. Lets negotiate. What terms are you going to offer?"
"I won't accept any terms." The Queen said, "it is foolish to let the tiger return to the mountains. I am not stupid enough to ignore the safety of the kingdom for the sake of a little profit."
The twenty people from the desert kingdoms were listening to the Queen and Robb, and they couldn't help but get anxious. [Oh, my God! Has the antagonism between her Majesty and their lord been so fierce that it has risen to the level of "even if you kill me" and "the security of the kingdom"?]
Just as they were worried, Robb suddenly said strangely, "one pudding for one to pass."
Queen, "deal!"
The twenty people spit blood together, "Pang!"
Then, in an instant, the expressions of Robb and the Queen changed from a life-and-death atmosphere to a harmonious one.
There was a crescent-like smile in the queen's eyes again, "I earned it this time! You're still not as good as me. I earned a gold coin for a pass."
Robb shrugged, "I deliberately gave way to you! I really want to be against you, but you can't fight me."
The Queen said, "it's not that. You just think it's troublesome to be tough with me. It's much easier to hand over a few puddings instead. You always think about things from the point of view of 'how to save trouble instead of maximizing profits, I have seen through you."
Robb, Wow! A woman thinks she knows a man very well, but is easily tricked into going to bed. She gave up after getting pregnant though.
Queen, "Please pay attention to your style of speaking and don't make yourself look like a man of the markets."
When the two talked about this, the matter was settled.
The Queen's words changed, "that's right! This afternoon, I received a request to return a prisoner of war from the Desert Kingdom. "
Oh? Do they mean to buy back the prisoners of war? "
"Yes!" The Queen said: "it is official, so, even if we are in a state of war, I must accept it well and reply politely, otherwise it will be undignified of me."
Robb was happy, "it's my turn to collect it, right? Did you not think about how much trouble I have saved you by blocking the army of the desert kingdom. "
Fine, to thank you for helping me The Queen's expression remained the same, "forget the pudding we just discussed. I will provide you with a batch of passes to ensure that these people can return to the desert kingdom, and they can bring their families here again, but, if these passes are used by them for espionage, I will have no choice but to trouble you."
After such a confusing talk, thats the result. Guess thats fine. Robb smiled, "what a woman who doesnt want to lose even if she dies. She has made up her mind to give me a pass. As a result, she has to fight me to the death for a while and won't give up until she wins. Why is your character so weird?"
Ignoring this question, the Queen did not bother to answer and said with a businesslike expression, "the condition offered by the Desert Kingdom is that the commander, great shaman, and Motra will be paid for a ransom of 1000 gold coins. If you agree, I will write back to the Desert Kingdom and agree on a time and place for the return of the prisoners."
"Well, the price is reasonable." Robb said with a smile, "Reply, I'll sell them."
With that, Robb smiled and asked, "are they going to buy these three people? Are they going to buy the assassin leader and the more than three thousand prisoners of war?"
The Queen said faintly, "the leader of the assassins is not a noble, how can a noble come out to be an assassin? This man was just a high-ranking civilian, who was ignored by the Pharaoh, and the other soldiers were even more worthless. The desert kingdom would not pay a penny for them. They have long been regarded as dead or taken as slaves by us, and no one will care about their life or death."
At this point, the Queen suddenly stopped, and it took several seconds for her to sigh, "except you!"
Hearing the Queen's words, a touch of mixed emotion flashed in the eyes of 20 people. Although they had known this would be the case, it was still difficult to accept it when they heard others say so.
The nine people who decided to stay could not help thanking themselves that they had made the right decision, while the eleven who decided to go home first were also thinking, [After returning home, we should immediately take our wives and children and move back to Westwind Town as soon as possible. In this world, only Godfather will think for us, and only in the territory of Godfather can we have a real life.]
"Well, then the matter is settled." Robb smiled at the twenty people. "Looks like you have to stay in Westwind Town for a few days, waiting for Miss Queen to send the passes."
Twenty people hastened to bow, and after a great deal of gratitude, they went back to their Wangjiang rental house.
The next day, a manticore carried an emissary sent by her Majesty to Westwind Town, along with the first batch of fifty special passes.
Those who hold these passes will be granted permission to pass through Crystal Canyon.
Robb issued passes to the eleven people who wanted to go home, and then watched them head north with his range of 5000 yards.
These people may come back, or they may never return. No one can guarantee what kind of judgment will happen to them in the future.
However, it is indisputable that they have gained freedom, and the exemplary role they had proved useful. They set a good example to more than 3,000 people in prison and pointed out a new way of life for them.
The more than 3,000 reform-through-labor prisoners in Westwind prison suddenly became diligent, they worked harder and their performance became better. Even the worst prisoners before are now beginning to behave and do things with serious cooperation.
All reform-through-labor prisoners began to fight desperately for the commutation of their sentences to strive for a new life.
Ten days later, a diplomatic team led by diplomats from the Desert Kingdom came to Westwind Town.
