Chapter 354 Why is Prince Kate so angry?
In the center of the square, countless pairs of eyes stared at the two boxes, nervous and excited.
Afterwards, the two sons of the Duke of Darkness came closer and, at the signal of the caravan captain, slowly opened the lid of the box.
When they first saw the glass cup, they thought they would not be too shocked. However, after seeing the texture of the first glass cup, they were dumbfounded.
These glass cups are not only crystal clear, but also extremely strong. They feel as smooth as jade and are like gorgeous gems!
Such a treasure must be extremely valuable. They had heard that a glass cup could even be exchanged for millions of taels of gold!
The two sons of the Duke of Darkness are not narrow-minded and have already thought of several ways to trade.
All you have to do is sell these treasures to neighboring small countries, and those lords will regard them as treasures and worship them like gods.
Obviously, the value of these glass cups is inestimable!
Seeing the treasures that Daqin brought out, the surrounding Romans were also excited.
In their eyes, such treasures are undoubtedly top-notch collections.
This kind of glass is a treasure that only the Roman emperor can enjoy.
Its value must be very high, not to mention that Daqin only took out two boxes. Assuming that every item in the boxes is of such quality!
Could it be that the Qin Dynasty is facing difficulties and has to sell these treasures?
The two sons of the Duke of Darkness carefully opened the boxes, ready to inspect them one by one!
Then, the two carefully examined the items in the box and confirmed that each one was Queen Liuli. They were so excited that they could not control themselves and said tremblingly:
"Are you sure you want to exchange these for food? Do you understand?"
"Thousands of Romans are watching you. If you regret it, you will be condemned by the Romans in the future. Then you will be in a dilemma!"
The captain of the caravan seemed to have heard a huge joke and wanted to laugh out loud.
As a Qin person, he knew very well how precious the glass cup was, so he didn't care at all.
However, he still needs to act according to the predetermined script to show his sincerity.
After all, you have to act like you are cutting leeks, otherwise how can you make the other party willing to be cut?
So, he showed a painful look and said slowly: "Now we are in a difficult situation. The food has been plundered. We can only exchange these for survival."
"If not, we won't be able to continue!"
"What's the point of holding treasures if you can't survive?"
"Besides, your price is too high. We can only reluctantly sell our treasured possession."
As soon as these words were spoken, the smiles on the faces of the Romans around them could not be concealed.
They remembered how arrogant the people of Daqin had been, not even giving them the chance to touch the glass cups.
Even wealthy merchants would sometimes be discouraged by their lack of money. After all, the Qin Dynasty had very strict protection arrangements for caravans.
At this moment, they looked at the captain of the caravan and laughed loudly: "Oh, it's not that serious, is it? Isn't the Qin Dynasty very powerful?"
"We can't even afford those treasures, so how can we use them to exchange for our humble food? And that's just a little bit?"
Faced with the ridicule, the caravan captain ignored it and his mind was entirely on the food in front of him.
The two people on the other side had the same idea.
Based on what the captain of the caravan had just said, they judged that these were the most precious treasures in the Qin treasury.
If we could take them all away, perhaps we could empty the Qin treasury in one fell swoop!
When that moment came, their contribution would be unmatched, so the two of them quickly moved the box of treasures.
Then they looked at the crowd and laughed heartily: "Haha, you have lost your food now, but we Romans never kill all of you."
"All this food belongs to you!"
“Let me tell you, although this amount of grain is considerable, Rome will have a bumper harvest in a few days!”
"These are just the tip of the iceberg of Rome's production, only one percent!"
The Romans around looked at the Qin envoy and laughed mockingly. "That's right, take away the food you once despised! Look at you, you even dug out the bottom of the warehouse, how shameful!"
"The Qin people are truly rebellious. They actually dared to sell the most precious treasures in the national treasury. Don't they know that these treasures can be exchanged for more wealth in the future? They even dared to provoke us Romans. Now they are reaping the consequences, right?!"
They tried hard to hold back their laughter, not wanting to reveal their true colors.
Once the caravan captain laughs, the secret may be exposed. In fact, it is not difficult to see through this scam.
You only need to ask any merchant who has been to Daqin to find out the true value of the glass cup.
To be honest, even if the glass cup was not hyped, its price would only be a few hundred taels of gold.
Such an insignificant glass cup can be exchanged for so much food, which is really worth the money.
After the deal was done, they signed the agreement and handed over all the contents of the box to the Duke of Darkness's men.
Then, the Qin caravan transported carriages loaded with grain to the Duke of Rose's territory one by one, and everything went on in an orderly manner.
At this time, the Romans were immersed in the ecstasy of victory.
For them, this was a major victory over the Qin Dynasty.
Those two boxes of treasure will become priceless treasures for Rome’s future!
And at this moment, the Qin Dynasty is not far from destruction!
The two sons of the Duke of Dark Night did not go home directly, but went straight to the palace.
Because they understood that this was the best time to take credit from their father.
We must not let other dukes seize the initiative!
So they hurriedly informed Emperor Kate and requested an immediate audience.
In their view, this is a great achievement!
Instead of going back to seek credit from his father, it is better to show favor to the emperor's children.
After all, if they can please the emperor, they will be rewarded handsomely.
As for my father, it would be okay to report it later.
At first, Emperor Kate was quite excited when he learned that the two sons of the Duke of Dark Night had caused heavy losses to Daqin.
After all, hearing that someone has cut the leeks of Daqin is undoubtedly exciting news!
After all, these people represent his reputation and they declare to Rome that the Qin Dynasty is not weak and can be bullied.
The Romans thought they were superior, but at this moment, what they did was enough to inspire people!
However, after listening to the report, Kate's expression gradually changed, revealing something strange.
Glass cup!
You actually exchanged it for a glass cup! ?
Prince Kate was immediately furious.
He stared at the two people in front of him and asked, "Tell me, you exchanged mountains of food for these glass cups? That's all?"
At first, he still had a glimmer of hope that perhaps these glass cups were inlaid with gems.
He couldn't believe that these two young men could be so stupid.
However, when he opened the boxes himself and saw those familiar glass cups, Prince Kate was completely shocked.
He angrily asked: "Why? Why do you want to exchange these? What is the use of these seemingly gorgeous items?"
The two sons of the Duke of Night were confused, because they firmly believed that the value behind these glass cups could be estimated!
Why is Prince Kate so angry?
Are you not satisfied with these?
