Chapter 647: Possessing the hardest trump card on this continent! (Begging for

Li Chen "taught" patiently: "Think carefully, if you pay a huge ransom far exceeding expectations, will Tian Ce feel that you are full of sincerity and release the people more happily?"

And those redeemed soldiers and their families, knowing that you paid such a huge price to save them, will they be grateful to you and feel that this life was given by you?"

"When the time comes, how unbreakable will their loyalty be? Is this investment not worth it?"

Xie Ergai suddenly realized and slapped his thigh: "High! Master is truly high! This disciple is dull! But this double ransom is a huge amount, and this disciple really can't take it out." His face showed embarrassment again.

Li Chen's tone turned cold, carrying a trace of bewitchment: "In extraordinary times, one should do extraordinary things. Mobilize all the power you can mobilize, go borrow, go move, and even secretly 'borrow' some property from your father's fief treasury,"

"Don't be afraid of being discovered by your father. When you successfully sit on the position of Andrei Dagong in the future, the whole fief will be yours. What do you need to explain to him? All this is for the necessary investment in the future!"

A flash of ruthlessness appeared in Xie Ergai's eyes, and he nodded heavily: "Master is right! Those who achieve great things do not care about trifles! This disciple will go find a way to raise funds! I will leave the matter of redeeming the captives entirely to you, Master, to communicate with the Emperor of Tian Ce!"

"Hmm, leave this matter to me." Li Chen responded indifferently.

Xie Ergai kowtowed again with gratitude, his gratitude and worship for his master reaching an incomparable level.

He felt how lucky he was to meet such a master who not only had heaven-reaching strength but also cared and paid so much for him!

How could he know that this "supernaturally powerful" master of his was the Emperor of Tian Ce himself.

The so-called "communication" was just Li Chen nodding to himself.

After Li Chen set this chess piece, he found a quiet place, took out the special communication crystal, which was a mobile phone, and directly contacted the Northern Army Commander Han Wu.

"Han Wu, listen, if there is a Great Luo noble named Xie Ergai who comes to negotiate on behalf of Andrei Dagong Andrei's line recently, wanting to redeem his captured soldiers, don't refuse, but set the price high, slaughter him fiercely, and then release the people." Li Chen ordered concisely.

Han Wu on the other end of the communication crystal was full of doubts, not understanding why the Emperor suddenly wanted to do this "enemy-aiding" business, but still responded without hesitation: "This subordinate obeys! I will surely handle it properly!"

After making arrangements, Li Chen did not leave Winterhold.

He needed to stay here to ensure that this chess piece, Xie Ergai, would not collapse prematurely, and even more to ensure his safety.

With him, this "master," sitting in town, Xie Ergai could have enough confidence to implement those crazy plans.

In fact, Xie Ergai did indeed regard Li Chen as his greatest and only reliance and trump card.

Li Chen temporarily lived in the depths of Xie Ergai's private residence.

His existence was extremely secret. Except for Xie Ergai and his mother Lady Yekaterina, others in the mansion just thought he was another ordinary Shaman wizard the young master had invited from somewhere.

In the Andrei Dagong's mansion, it was perfectly normal for an eldest son to support one or two wizards, and it did not arouse any additional suspicion.

After Xie Ergai left in a hurry to raise the "ransom," Lady Yekaterina knocked on the door lightly, carrying a tray of exquisite snacks and a pot of mellow wine, and sent them in personally.

She had just seen with her own eyes her son change from decadent and desperate to high-spirited and energetic, and her heart was filled with gratitude and awe for this mysterious great wizard.

"Master, the hospitality was poor, please forgive me. Some snacks and thin wine, not worth mentioning." Lady Yekaterina placed the tray gently on the table, performed a salute with an elegant posture, and her tone was respectful and carried a trace of flattery.

She could see from her son's attitude toward this wizard that this person was definitely not an ordinary person, not to mention that he had saved her son's life.

Li Chen nodded slightly, his gaze falling on Yekaterina.
