Wanyan Zhang looked at the statistics booklet handed over by Minister Xu, dumbfounded. Even he hadn't expected Great Chu to be able to produce so much. His original intention was to make outlandish demands, to humiliate Great Chu.
Yet within just half a month, they managed to gather so much wealth. The prosperity of Great Chu exceeded Wanyan Zhang's imagination.
After receiving the wealth, Wanyan Zhang released all the Empress and concubines.
But he still held the former emperor tightly.
Minister Xu knelt on the ground, weeping bitterly, "Reporting to the Second Crown Prince, inside the Capital City, we've already scraped the ground three feet, there is no more gold or silver to be found. I beg the Second Crown Prince to be merciful and allow the former emperor to return to the city."
Wanyan Zhang snorted, "And where are the edict to cede land and the map?"
Minister Xu shuddered, "On my way here, they were snatched in the street by the Princess."
