The Return of the Demon

#1215 - This idiot turned out to be the richest person

In the evening, Ning Chen had someone prepare a banquet.

Ning Xing and Ning Mao also came back.

After the two of them saluted, they stood in front of Ning Chen, feeling uneasy.

Ning Chen stroked Du Bu while sizing up the two of them and said, "Today is a family dinner, don't be too reserved.

You are already old, so it's time to get married, right? Don't be afraid of the rope after being bitten once. Song Xiaoshuang was just an accident."

Ning Mao's face was filled with shame.

He found Song Xiaoshuang and almost killed Ning Chen.

Although Ning Chen didn't blame him, it still left him with a huge psychological trauma, causing him to be afraid to approach a woman he liked now.

Ning Chen saw that the two were nervous and uneasy, so he turned around and asked Gu Yichun, "Is Lao Pan back?"

Earlier, he asked Pan Yucheng to go to the Ghost Shadow Sect and transfer some masters of the Ghost Shadow Sect to accompany him to Bianzhou.

Gu Yichun leaned forward and said, "He's back. I just saw him... He brought a group of people back. He should be arranging accommodation for them."

Ning Chen hummed and said, "Is the banquet ready?"

"My Lord, we are ready!"

"Send someone to call Lao Pan, we can talk while we eat."

"yes!"

At the banquet, Xiao Xing, Chai Dazhuang, and Uncle Chai's grandson, Xiao Huzi, were all present.

Because we had to travel early the next morning, the banquet ended early.

......

The next day, Ning Chen got up at dawn.

After washing up, he ate the breakfast that Xiao Yanxi had asked someone to prepare.

He packed up briefly and went out shivering.

It's too cold!

It looks like it’s going to snow within ten days.

The snow seems to have come a little late this year.

When the cold wind blew, Ning Chen woke up completely.

Chai Dazhuang and Gu Yichun had been waiting outside the door early. When they saw Ning Chen coming out, they hurried forward to greet him.

Ning Chen asked: "Where are Lao Pan and Lao Feng?"

"They are already waiting for the prince outside the palace!"

Ning Chen hummed and walked out of the mansion, "Gu Yichun, while I'm away, you and Dazhuang should pay more attention to the family."

Gu Yichun said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will do my best to protect everything in the palace."

Also, take Du Bu with you when you leave this time.

Tigers have great explosive power but limited endurance and cannot run with horses.

But he couldn't find a suitable means of transportation for the time being, so Ning Chen had an idea and asked someone to bring a prison van.

This prison van has become Dubu's special vehicle, which is quite appropriate.

Jiang Zhengyang saw Ning Chen coming out and hurried over to salute.

Ning Chen smiled and said, "Master Jiang, while I am away, Xuanwu City will be handed over to you."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will definitely live up to your expectations!"

The two chatted briefly, and Ning Chen ordered: "Let's go!"

After leaving the city, head west.

On the way, Ning Chen, Pan Yucheng and Xiao Yanxi looked at Feng Qizhen from time to time.

Feng Qi was grinning and laughing all the way.

Xiao Yanxi asked curiously: "Is he okay?"

Ning Chen thought for a moment and said, "It's okay, I guess he picked up some money."

"Picking up money?"

"Yeah, and it looks like he picked up a lot."

After the banquet last night, Feng Qizhen left the City Lord's Mansion.

As the top boss of Xuanwu City, it is not difficult to guess what he was doing... He must have been inspecting his territory and collecting eggs.

Ning Chen looked at Feng Qizheng, who was smiling like a bastard, and suddenly asked, "Old Feng, how much money did you receive last night?"

"Seven hundred thousand..." Feng Qi said subconsciously, but suddenly felt something was wrong. He turned his head to look at Ning Chen and laughed dryly: "Seven, seven... seventy thousand taels."

Ning Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, he just heard 700,000 taels.

Wow, is this brothel so profitable?

Ning Chen smiled evilly and said, "That's impossible, right? Old Pan went to a brothel last night and talked to the madam for a while. She said that she made at least one million taels of silver this year. Were you deceived?"

Pan Yucheng's mouth twitched. When did he go to the brothel?

"What?" Feng Qi's eyes widened. "One million taels? But I only received 700,000 taels. How dare you, bastard, cheat me? I think they don't want to live anymore... Boss, did the madam really tell you that?"

Pan Yucheng was completely speechless. You idiot, can't you see that Ning Chen is lying?

Ning Chen looked at Feng Qizheng with a smile, "Didn't you say that there were only 70,000 taels?"

Feng Qizheng: “…”

Ning Chen squinted at him, "Old Feng, this is wrong. You are actually on guard against the brothers... Can we still rob your money?"

Feng Qi was feeling sullen and ashamed as if he had been caught stealing someone.

Ning Chen shook his head and sighed, his face full of disappointment, "Old Feng, you've become a bad person... I was being honest with you, but you were playing tricks on me.

Sure enough, there are two things in this world that cannot be looked at directly, one is the sun, and the other is the human heart.

It's faded, the feelings have faded!"

"No, I..." Feng Qi was scratching his head, "I, I'm just afraid that you will know and cheat me out of my money."

Ning Chen's mouth twitched, and he became even angrier, "Am I that kind of person?"

"do not you?"

Ning Chen gritted his teeth, "Old Feng, can people have a little trust in each other? What's the benefit? I have never forgotten you, right?"

Feng Qizheng said: "Then swear that you don't miss my money."

Ning Chen's expression suddenly froze.

Seeing Ning Chen being humiliated, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Feng Qizheng chuckled, "Just kidding, tell me, how much do you want?"

Ning Chen looked at him in some surprise.

Feng Qizheng said: "Do you really think I'm stupid? I know the world has just been pacified, and you are short of food and money now. Are you unable to even pay for Miss Xiao's intelligence?

Last time you said you would give Miss Xiao one million taels for intelligence, and later you reluctantly gave her five hundred thousand taels, right?"

Ning Chen was a little embarrassed.

That's true. Originally, it was said that Xiao Yanxi would be given one million taels... but in the end, only five hundred thousand taels were given, otherwise there would not be enough military pay.

Daxuan was in chaos after being plagued by the idiot Zhang Tianlun. Only then did it finally settle down. All the states and counties were in a state of disrepair and there was a shortage of money everywhere.

The money and food he brought back from South Vietnam had been almost used up.

The Eastern Territory has conquered nearly a hundred thousand troops, and now they all belong to him. The imperial court can no longer provide more silver, so he has to be responsible for the money and food.

Although he had many businesses, such as a wine shop and a money house, he could not earn as fast as he spent them.

All these years of fighting had relied on his savings, which had almost drained him out.

Feng Qi was taking out something wrapped in black cloth from the bag on his horse's back and throwing it to Ning Chen across the air.

Ning Chen reached out to catch it and asked curiously, "What is it?"

"Open it and take a look."

Ning Chen opened it and found a thick stack of banknotes inside.

Feng Qizheng was very proud, "One million taels, you can use it first. If it's not enough... I don't have any more."

Ning Chen looked at him in shock, "Old Feng, this..."

"Let's not be so hypocritical. This money is a loan to you. When Daxuan prospers, you have to pay it back to me... I have saved this much over the years, but this is my wife's money."

Ning Chen looked at Feng Qizhen and smiled silently.

"Whose girl is worth so much money?"

"Xiaoyue."

Ning Chen was speechless for a while. He didn't spend so much money when he married Emperor An.

This guy Lao Feng is really stupid and has a lot of money.

"Okay, this money is a loan from the court. Daxuan will prosper. I will have His Majesty return it to you."

Feng Qizheng grinned and said, “Okay!”

Pan Yucheng said: "Your Majesty, I......"

"Forget about it." Ning Chen waved his hand. "You should keep your money for yourself... I can't fight a war and let my brothers have to eat coarse food, right?"

After Ning Chen finished speaking, he felt a little bit unbelievable...Among them, Feng Qizhen, this simpleton, actually became the richest person.
