Hua Yichao let out a light sneer. "No need to count. It's less than one hundred thousand liang. Time is pressing, and with wars raging everywhere right now, the money shops dare not show their faces either. Hard silver is not easy to cash out, so we could only put together these few carts. There isn't an extra copper coin to be found."
In times of chaos like this, being able to raise this much was already no small feat; the person opposite him did not seem surprised by this. That captain glanced at Hua Yichao and said, "The Marquis acts with dispatch, and I am not one to drag my feet either. Right now, as long as the Marquis hands the people over to us, the person the Marquis wants will naturally be handed over to you as well."
"Absurd!" Hua Yichao tightened his grip on the sword in his hand. "If I hand the people over first, will I have any path to survival left?"
