Chapter 8 You are worthless as a prince!
"What? We agreed on five hundred taels of gold and we have already given it to you. How can you go back on your word!"

Chen Wenjie, the Minister of Rites, was anxious. The emperor wanted these two to return safely. As for Huya Village, he would naturally order them to be safe.

After all, a mob breaks out over the border. It is not appropriate for them to continue fighting with Huya Village at the moment. One month is still long enough!

Although they killed a big boss, they lost a third prince and a small princess.

"But we didn't say that these five hundred taels were used to redeem the third prince! Do you think he is the third prince?"

Lu Manman was sure that Yan Dongze didn't explain what he said because they had tied up two people.

In other words, Dongze's scheming should still have room for maneuver, and he will always leave himself a way out, which is in line with his personality.

"Yes!"

Yan Dongze smiled lightly and became more and more curious about what this woman wanted to do.

When Lu Manman saw Dongze, he nodded, presumably acknowledging that he was being foolish. He was immediately full of confidence and took action.

"These five hundred taels of gold are only enough to take Su Ningran away. As for Xie Si!"

As soon as Lu Manman's words changed, Xie Si watched Lu Manman's movements nervously, fearing that Lu Manman would take him as a copycat wife as soon as he spoke!

"Third prince, one thousand taels of gold! If we don't have one thousand taels of gold, don't blame us for hanging the third prince on the wall whether he lives or dies! I think that's how you treated us as your master back then!"

The death of the boss is a pain in the hearts of everyone in Huya Village. The reason why Lu Manman said this was to delay time and to give everyone an outlet.

In this way, Yan Dongze will not cause trouble for him.

Su Chenxu's eyes dimmed, looking at the pitiful Su Jingran who had been crying, and Xie Si who had been frightened for a long time, he thought for a long time and spoke lightly.

"Master, why don't you let me, Su Chenxu, stay and let the third prince and the princess leave? Tomorrow, the Master will send someone to collect the ransom of a thousand taels."

The top priority is to save the third prince and the princess first.

"No! You are worthless as a prince!"

Lu Manman vetoed it without even thinking. Exchanging five hundred taels for two people was not as cost-effective as exchanging one thousand taels for one person. Besides, he was just a prince, so how could he be as valuable as a prince?
"Also, if you want peace talks, you have to stay with me, otherwise don't blame us for not letting him go!"

The imperial court and the cottage really can't fight any longer, otherwise not to mention the fact that the imperial court can't justify it, even the people in the cottage probably won't be able to hold on for long.

Therefore, peace talks with Zhao'an are beneficial to everyone.

Thinking of this, Lu Manman said loudly that he wanted Su Chenxu to stay too, otherwise the peace talks would be unnecessary!

As for Xie Si, who had been frightened for a long time, his legs were weak. This crazy woman was thinking twice!

"Chen, please listen to me. I have three conditions, otherwise you won't be able to leave! As for those people at the foot of the mountain, we are not afraid! What do you think?"

Lu Manman set his sights on Ma Qi. This reckless man was not afraid of fighting or anything like that!

"Yes! Come on, I'll kill one, and if two come, I'll kill a pair. If you dare to attack them all, I'll kill them all!"

Ma Qi did it extremely smoothly to give his daughter a face, waving the weapon in his hand with great force.

"First, Su Chenxu must stay and give two thousand taels of gold in exchange for the third prince and him. Second, after letting the people at the foot of the mountain retreat, build a village for us called Huya Village. Third..."

Lu Manman slowly looked at Yan Dongze, debating whether to speak or not. He already had money and a place to live, so he should be able to rest assured...

only……

I don’t know if he can accept this last thing...

"Third, Yan Dongze, our third master, has great ambitions. He should not just be a junior master among us. I want the court to restore his status as a civilian and allow him to participate in this year's imperial examination!" Lu Manman wants to express his hatred for the family. Dongze definitely wanted to report it, otherwise he wouldn't have been robbing on official roads. What he might have robbed was not just money, but intelligence information and evidence.

Therefore, this time Lu Manman wanted to exchange this with Yan Dongze for his own safety.

Because, if Yan Dongze really wants to take revenge, then sooner or later Yan Dongze will know her identity as the daughter of the Taifu!

"Two...two thousand taels of gold..."

Why not grab it! ! !
From five hundred to one thousand?
Now he actually said that he would exchange two thousand taels for two people! ! !
"Yes! Didn't Prince An Xian say that he is worth a thousand taels of gold? So, two thousand taels of gold is not too much!"

With these two thousand taels of gold, everyone in Huya Village can have enough food and clothing.

Lu Manman smiled treacherously and looked at Su Chenxu with crooked eyes. He was really good-looking in life, as gentle as jade, calm and calm. Even if he said that he wanted to keep him, his mood did not change at all.

What a character!

"It's not too much! Lord Shangshu, please take the princess down the mountain and prepare! The more delay there is, the more danger there will be."

Su Chenxu raised his eyes and looked at this woman with a big mouth, even though people here said she was the boss.

But Su Chenxu could see clearly that the person who really made the decision was Yan Dongze, the third boss who had been silent!

That is Yan Dongze who wants to take part in the imperial examination!

The first boss had erratic eyes at first, pretending to be calm, while the second boss behind her, although they seemed to have a friendly relationship, could clearly see that he was here to monitor the woman.

After looking at Yan Dongze, this woman became confident and even stated her conditions for Zhao'an.

Su Chenxu thought to himself that the first two conditions should not be important, but the last one is the most important!
As long as Yan Dongze is allowed to participate in the scientific examination, then there is no chance that the Huya Village will be disbanded. After all, the news brought by the court shows that it is the third master who has been dealing with the court!

"But……"

Chen Wenjie, the Minister of Rites, was a little confused. Not only did he not redeem the third prince with five hundred taels today, but he also got Prince An Xian in vain!
"Sir, please go back and make preparations. I'll stay!"

Su Chenxu didn't give Chen Wenjie a chance to speak. With firm eyes and a look of confidence, Su Chenxu patted Chen Wenjie's hand, and then helped Su Jingran up.

"Please, sir, take good care of my roommate."

Although Su Jingran was a little willful, he was not bad-tempered. This time he returned to Beijing and suffered an inexplicable disaster. Fortunately, Su Jingran was fine.

"Yes! Prince, don't worry!"

Su Chenxu's request made Chen Wenjie see hope that Prince An Xian was getting closer through the crown prince's lineage.

Now, no one except the prince's people will come to save the third prince and Crown Prince An Xian! ! !

Su Jingping was taken away by Chen Wenjie, and the lobby became quiet.

Lu Manman looked at Yan Dongze's expression carefully, okay, okay, Yan Dongze didn't react. No reaction meant acquiescence!
Lu Manman also breathed a sigh of relief. Today's peace talks are over.

"Come here! Tie up Prince An Xian and take him to my room!"

As a hostage, Su Chenxu showed rare cooperation and followed him away obediently.

But Xie Si watched Su Chenxu leave with sympathetic eyes. Su Chenxu might not be able to escape this woman's clutches tonight...

"What are you looking at! Let's take another look and take you there!!!"

Lu Manman threatened Xie Si with such force that Xie Si immediately backed away and shook his head desperately. He really didn't want to experience what happened that night again.
