Chapter 654: The Real Money Smashing

"Dong dong dong..."

Before Jiang Meng finished his words, he heard a second rapid drumbeat coming from the opposite Mirage Army.

"Since they are Japanese bandits, where does their conscience come from?" Zhou Chang commented indifferently.

Jiang Meng had nothing to say, his hand already on the hilt of the sword: "So it's today?"

The tone sounded like a question, but in fact it was a confirmation.

Zhou Chang nodded gently, still calmly: "Yes, Brother Jiang, let's do as we discussed yesterday. Don't let the money I have spent these days go to waste."

Jiang Meng said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, Your Highness. After they beat the drum for the third time, we should pay the money first and wait for the opportunity."

"It doesn't matter if you hold it in for a while longer. I have already had someone take away another 400,000 taels of silver. This is all my belongings." Zhou Chang pretended to be relaxed when he spoke, but his whole body was already slightly cold due to nervousness.

Everyone stood on the city wall, looking across, waiting, waiting...

After the third drum sounded in the Mirage Army, the army began to stir.

Jiang Meng raised his right arm and signaled to his left and right, and just like the previous three days, he began to use the catapult to drop silver over the opposing camp.

"Shhhhh..."

Silver flowers are like rain, shining in the sky.

"Crack, crackle, crackle..."

Large drops of rain fell down and hit the mirage army on their heads.

Zhou Chang admired the rain of flowers from the sky, turned his head and looked at Yuan Qi again: "If there really is a goddess scattering flowers, then this goddess must be you."

"Your Highness, you still have the heart to joke at this time? Is the situation not dangerous today?" Yuan Qi had no idea about the war situation and was just worrying for nothing.

Zhou Chang smiled and did not answer. He then saw the people from the Jin Caosi gradually carrying the remaining 400,000 taels of silver to the top of the city wall.

Li Meng, the leader of the Jin Caosi team, was sweating and asked awkwardly, "Your Highness, the smallest of these silver ingots is ten taels, and the largest ones are thirty or fifty taels. It's too late to smash them now, isn't it?"

Zhou Chang took a quick glance and said calmly, "Then there's no need to smash them. You just need to keep an eye on the number and have the soldiers throw them directly on the trebuchets."

Money can be thrown away, but it cannot be thrown away in vain.

We must not allow individual “insiders” to steal things.

Li Meng quickly agreed: "Yes, yes... Don't worry, Your Highness, I have done nothing else these days except keeping an eye on this silver."

"Very good." Zhou Chang didn't care at all, but turned back to look at Yuan Qi, "You should hurry down the tower, it's really dangerous here."

Yuan Qi stood still and asked sharply, "Is it particularly dangerous today?"

In the sky opposite, silver was falling like flowers from heaven.

The Mirage Army has become accustomed to bending down and picking up small pieces of silver without even raising their heads.

Some people were well prepared and stretched out a large cloth to receive it.

This scene was obviously more orderly than the previous three days; at least there was no obvious chaos.

Zhou Chang's mind was on the other side, and he felt that this was a bad omen, so he quickly went to find Jiang Meng again: "Brother Jiang, did you see that? Those bastards are picking up silver in a disciplined manner, and it's not so chaotic anymore."

Jiang Meng also frowned: "Yeah, this is not good."

"It's really not good..." Zhou Chang shook his head in his heart, "Therefore, after throwing all the small pieces of silver, throw these large ingots of silver closer. I don't believe they won't come up to grab them."

Jiang Meng had also made up his mind and nodded vigorously: "Okay, I understand what Your Highness means. If so, Your Highness might as well go down the tower to take shelter temporarily. Maybe later..."

The more uncertain Zhou Chang felt, the more he smiled: "Why are you hiding? I'm right here. As long as Brother Jiang can fight bravely on the battlefield, I have nothing to fear."

Jiang Meng knew what Prince Yi was talking about, and he cupped his hands again, his expression more solemn than ever before: "Your Highness, rest assured, I dare to guarantee with my own life that the soldiers of the three armies will certainly go through fire and water and face death with equanimity."

Zhou Chang also clasped his fists in return.

After the ceremony, Jiang Meng threw away his battle robe and strode away with his subordinates behind him.

Zhou Chang pursed his lips and watched them closely.

It didn't take long before the three hundred thousand taels of silver were thrown away.

The Mirage Army still felt it was not enough, so they changed their formation and no one knew what action they would take next.

At this time, according to Jiang Meng's new order, the catapults on the city wall began to throw out large ingots of silver again.

A silver ingot weighing fifty taels is as powerful as a huge rock when thrown down.

"Bang bang bang..."

Zhou Chang saw from afar that a mirage soldier who was fighting in the front line was knocked unconscious and fell to the ground.

The mirage soldiers around started screaming.

Then, almost at the same time, someone recognized what it was and pounced on it with a "whoosh".

It turned out to be gold ingots falling from the sky?

I wouldn't even dream of doing this.

In an instant, the comrades turned into jackals, and the originally neat and orderly lineup became chaotic.

Some people scrambled for the gold ingots that fell on the ground, some were a step late and tried to grab the gold ingots from others, and some even had murderous intentions and stabbed people in the back...

Haha, this is the real way to spend money.

The kind that can kill people.

This was exactly the effect Zhou Chang wanted, to watch coldly and remain calm.

As a large number of silver ingots were thrown down, the Mirage Army seemed to be poured with boiling water in a rat's nest. They screamed and bit each other. The scene was so intense that it was difficult to watch for a while.

If you watch it too much, you will have nightmares.

Although Zhou Chang's heart was somewhat relieved, he still felt disgust and discomfort in his heart.

When he turned around, Yuan Qi had taken off his hood at some point and was staring at him with worried eyes: "Why don't you leave? Go back quickly."

Yuan Qi still ignored him. Qiu Hong's sparkling eyes drifted towards the city and he smiled coldly, "I'm not afraid. As the saying goes, 'people die for money and birds die for food'. This is a drama that happens every day. It's just that it is particularly eye-catching in a special situation. I'm not afraid, and Your Majesty doesn't have to take it to heart."

Zhou Chang was confused by Yuan Qi's attitude.

I thought Yuan Qi would not be able to bear to look at it, but I didn't expect that although her face was pale, she would comfort herself instead.

Zhou Chang also forced a smile to show that he didn't care: "I'm fine, but you shouldn't have watched this scene. It's not safe here. You should leave as soon as possible."

Thousands of emotions surged in Yuan Qi's eyes, and he suddenly held Zhou Chang's hand.

The moment the touch came, Zhou Chang felt like he was electrocuted and stood still.

Yuan Qi made a joke instead: "Why does the prince keep sending me away? Are you afraid that I will feel sad after seeing all that silver? No."

Zhou Chang could no longer move, or to be more precise, he could only watch.

Prince Yi Fengming regained consciousness and took the initiative. He said to Yuan Qi in a gentle voice, "Go back, so I don't have to be distracted to take care of you later."

Yuan Qi insisted and shook his head.

Feng Ming said to Wu Hong behind him: "Wu Hong, if you don't take your young lady away, a fight will really break out soon."

How could Wu Hong persuade Yuan Qi?

Yuan Qi's voice was gentle and firm: "The prince is here, and I am here too."
