Even though Prince Zuo Tengshang was so agitated he wanted to stamp his feet, he could only suppress his temper. "The sooner I return, the greater the benefits for you. I'm sure you gentlemen are sharp enough to see the pros and cons here!"

Prince Zuo Tengshang tried to bargain one last time. "Can't I bring a few more? These are all my trusted men. I will pay a higher ransom when the time comes."
That's right; this so-called ransom was what Prefect Gu had proposed a few days ago.
With the prospect of returning to his homeland, what did he have to fear from these people? Of course he'd dare to make empty promises and offer more.
