Chapter 730: A woman disguised as a man, a proton, and a foolish marquis (5)
"Yes, yes, how can you believe the words of a fool?"
The other people following Ning Cheng also nodded in agreement and looked at Yu Yan with ingratiating smiles on their faces.
It is obvious that these people do not want to be caught by Yu Yan and report to the emperor.
After hearing what they said, Hua Yanliang immediately became unhappy. His clear eyes were misty and looked very pitiful. Combined with his handsome face, it really made people feel pity for him.
He pouted and said aggrievedly: "I'm not a fool. My grandmother said I'm very smart."
However, Ning Cheng and others did not take his words seriously and even laughed contemptuously.
They didn't take Hua Yanliang seriously at all, thinking he was just an insignificant fool.
Yu Yan's lips slightly raised, revealing a faint smile, and she slowly said: "But, when you were plotting just now, I heard it."
As she spoke, she stared closely at Ning Cheng's expression, not missing any slightest change.
When she saw Ning Cheng's expression turned a little ugly, she secretly laughed in her heart, but pretended to be calm on the surface.
Then, she continued slowly, "'The Third Prince is a bad guy. How many soldiers from our Northern Wing Kingdom have been killed by their Southern Border Kingdom? We are scolding him to avenge the dead soldiers.' Prince Ning, who said this? Do you remember?"
Her voice was soft and low, as if carrying an invisible pressure that made everyone present feel nervous and uneasy.
Especially Ning Cheng, his face turned gloomy in an instant, and a trace of panic flashed in his eyes.
Sure enough, the third prince heard it.
However, the most urgent task now is to stabilize the third prince of the Southern Border Kingdom.
So Ning Cheng laughed dryly a few times and said, "Third Prince, what are you talking about? We were just joking with Lord Hua, who knew he actually took it seriously."
At this point, he changed the subject and said, "But this is also my fault. As long as you calm down, Third Prince, I am willing to do anything."
Yu Yan confirmed: "Really?"
Ning Cheng nodded, "Of course."
After getting a positive answer, Yu Yan suddenly smiled.
Her smile was like melting an iceberg, and the group of powerful young men on the opposite side were all stunned.
The next second, they heard Yu Yan say, "I left for the North Wing in a hurry and didn't bring enough money. For the sake of the friendship between our two countries, Prince Ning, please..."
Ning Cheng and others: "!!!"
Wow, this was the first time someone asked them for money so confidently.
You are a prince of a country, and you tell them that you have no money? Who would believe you?
Isn't it just to blackmail them?
Do you think they are all fools like Hua Yanliang?
Although Ning Cheng was secretly dissatisfied, he had no choice but to agree.
After all, he himself said that he was willing to do anything.
At the same time, he was secretly complaining in his heart, thinking that the Third Prince really knew how to pick the right time.
He had just spent a large sum of money competing with the grandson of the Taifu family for the courtesan in the brothel some time ago! Now he didn't have much private money.
But he couldn't refuse directly, so he could only agree with a wry smile: "Okay, okay, just tell me how much silver the Third Prince needs."
Yu Yan nodded with satisfaction and held up three fingers: "Fifty thousand taels of silver."
"Fifty thousand taels!"
Ning Cheng almost jumped up, this number was not a small amount for him.
"Why, Prince Ning doesn't want to?"
Yu Yan looked at him with a smile.
"No, no, no, I just didn't expect the Third Prince to need so much silver."
Ning Cheng waved his hands repeatedly, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and he groaned in his heart.
He originally thought that the Third Prince would propose some other conditions, and he could get rid of this difficult Third Prince at that time, but he didn't expect that the other party would actually ask for silver.
Moreover, he asked for a huge amount of money, 50,000 taels at once.
"But this amount of money is not a small amount. Isn't the Third Prince asking for too much?"
Ning Cheng's face was a little pale, his lips trembled slightly, and his voice was low and hesitant.
He really didn't want to give so much silver to Yu Yan. After all, it was a huge sum of money.
Yu Yan's gaze was as cold as a knife. She swept coldly over Ning Cheng and the people behind him, and a mocking smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
She said slowly: "This number is not much for you! Are the children of the nobles in Beiyi so poor? They can't even come up with 50,000 taels together? In this case, forget it! I will go to the Emperor of Beiyi..."
Hearing this, Ning Cheng's face turned pale instantly.
If word of this matter gets to the Emperor of Beiyi, they will be in trouble.
So, he hurriedly stopped Yu Yan, with a flattering smile on his face, and said hurriedly: "No, no, no, it's okay, we can take out 50,000 taels."
Yu Yan smiled slightly, as if she was not surprised at all by their choice. She said, "In that case, I would like to thank Prince Ning and the others for their gifts. It is getting late, so I will take my leave first."
After saying that, she turned and left. After taking a few steps, she stopped and said to Hua Yanliang who was standing blankly beside her under the fierce gaze of Ning Cheng and others, "Lord Hua, I don't know the way to the palace. Could you please come with me?"
"Come out of the palace with me?"
Hua Yan stared at her stupidly, not yet able to react.
Yu Yan nodded patiently, "Yes, is that okay?"
"Ok, Ok."
After getting a positive answer, Hua Yanliang immediately ran over.
He puffed out his chest proudly and said, "I know the roads in the palace very well. I will take you out. You will definitely not get lost."
"Thank you very much, sir."
"You're welcome. You're so pretty. Can you be my friend? I don't have any friends."
"can."
"Wow, that's great!"
……
Ning Cheng and his group watched Yu Yan and Hua Yanliang walk further and further away, and heard their pleasant conversation from time to time.
At this palace banquet, the third prince received 50,000 taels of silver, and Hua Yanliang gained his first friend in his life.
However, they were the only ones who, like clowns, had to scrape together 50,000 taels of silver.
