Niu Youdao cupped his hands and said, "I am Niu Youdao, greetings General Feng!"
That's right, this female general was the youngest daughter of Feng Lingbo's three children, Feng Ruonan. She raised her eyebrows and said, "Old friend? What kind of old friend are you and I? "
Niu Youdao smiled and replied, "Does General still remember the bamboo raft by the river in Ziyun prefecture? I have a deep impression of you. I dodged General's arrow but almost froze to death in the river. "
Feng Ruonan's lips curled up. She had an impression of this matter. Even without Shang Chaozong's report, she still had an impression of the name Niu Youdao. That year, after she shot the nameplate and left, she remembered that the kid wouldn't have frozen to death in the river, right? After that, she wanted to go back and take a look, but considering the direction of the river, she probably wouldn't be able to find him, so she gave up. Later on, what deepened her impression was that the people from the Shangqing Sect found her with her nameplate and asked her if she really had a relationship with Niu Youdao. Only then did she find out that the clever kid on the bamboo raft was called Niu Youdao and had already entered the Shangqing Sect. It was just that Niu Youdao didn't know about this until now.
Then, recently, when she heard that Shang Chaozong's follower was a disciple of the Shangqing Sect called Niu Youdao, she immediately remembered who he was. And according to the news she saw this morning, Niu Youdao consecutively defeated Song Yanqing and his two fellow disciples. This made her even more surprised. This Niu Youdao had only entered the Shangqing Sect for a few years, but he actually had such strength? The spear he threw just now was a test, not wanting to be intercepted by Yuan Gang.
"So it's you!" Feng Ruonan was slightly disdainful and said sarcastically, "Why? Are you here today to take revenge on me? "
Niu Youdao said, "I don't dare. Today, I came to the prefecture city under the orders of the Prince to buy things. I remembered that an old friend was here, so I specially came to visit."
Feng Ruonan: "Just for this?"
Niu Youdao laughed dryly, "Of course, I have a small matter that I would like to ask General for help with."
Feng Ruo Nan couldn't help sneering. She was clearly saying, 'Why should I help you?' However, he still said straightforwardly, "Tell me about it first."
Niu Youdao rubbed his hands together and said with embarrassment: "I would like to borrow some money from you. Is it inconvenient for you to do so?"
Borrow money? Feng Ruo Nan was clearly stunned for a moment, and asked suspiciously, "How much?"
Niu Youdao cheerfully stretched out a finger, "Not much, just ten thousand gold coins!"
Feng Ruo Nan's expression changed slightly. What kind of joke was this? Asking for ten thousand gold coins right off the bat. To her, this amount wasn't considered too big, but it wasn't small either. However, her relationship with Niu Youdao wasn't at the stage where she could borrow so much money. Furthermore, the other party was in cahoots with Shang Chaozong. She immediately waved her hand and said, "I'm very tight on money, it's not convenient at all. Mage, please find someone else. Men, send the guest off! "
Immediately, a lady dressed in black appeared below the stage and stretched out her hand, "Please!"
Niu Youdao raised his hand to signal for her to wait, and said with a sullen face, "General, why don't you state your conditions? What do I have to do for you to lend?" Seeing that the other party was impatient and didn't seem to want to continue the conversation, Niu Youdao's mind raced, and felt that he had to arouse the other party's curiosity. He immediately changed his words, "Two hours, just two hours. After two hours, I'll return it to you immediately!" He stretched out another finger.
Ten thousand gold coins for two hours? Feng Ruo Nan was really curious about what this fellow was trying to do, and said coldly, "Why should I believe you? If you run away with the money, who am I going to collect the debt from? "She was just saying it. In her territory, she wasn't afraid that Niu Youdao could run away in two hours.
Niu Youdao patted his chest and said, "I won't run, how about I stay here as a hostage? After two hours, if I can't return the money, I'll be at your mercy. I'll accept death and torture! "
Feng Ruo Nan said disdainfully, "What's the use of having your life? I'm afraid that sooner or later, the Song family will take your little life, right? "It was obvious that she already knew that Niu Youdao had killed Song Yanqing.
Niu Youdao laughed heartily, "My little life, the Song family won't be taken so easily. But since General thinks so, I'm willing to make a bet with General. If I lose the bet, after two hours, I'm willing to return the ten thousand gold coins with interest as one hundred thousand gold coins. I won't go back on my word! "
One hundred thousand gold coins? That wasn't a small amount. The few women in black looked at each other.
Feng Ruo Nan was a little tempted, one hundred thousand gold coins was enough to pay the salaries of all the troops in Guangyi Prefecture. But her mouth didn't let up, and she said sarcastically, "You even want to borrow ten thousand gold coins, where will you get the one hundred thousand gold coins for me?"
Niu Youdao said, "Even if I can't take out one hundred thousand gold coins, I'll definitely take out something that's worth one hundred thousand gold coins to repay the debt. My Prince may not have cash, but he still has some valuable belongings. If General doesn't believe me, I'm willing to use this as a token. " He took out a token from his bosom and threw it over. This was something he borrowed from Shang Chaozong before he set off. He said that he needed a token to verify his identity when he met Feng Lingbo, and it was also to make it easier for him to command his personal guards.
After the woman in black received the token and checked it, she passed it to Feng Ruo Nan. The latter took a look at it, and discovered that it was Shang Chaozong's king token. After checking it repeatedly, she confirmed that it shouldn't be fake. There was a heaven-defying royal seal on it, and it was very hard to fake. This token could be said to be valuable, but it could also be said to be worthless. The key was how powerful the owner of the token was. To the current Shang Chaozong, this token obviously wasn't worth much. But then again, to Shang Chaozong, it was a matter of credibility and face. That is to say, to others, it might not be worth much, but to Shang Chaozong, it was worth a lot.
With this token in hand, Feng Ruo Nan was at ease. She wasn't afraid that Shang Chaozong would renege on the debt. She fiddled with the token in her hand, and said indifferently, "What do you want to bet?"
Niu Youdao said, "It's still the same. Find the general to borrow ten thousand gold coins, and I'll return it within two hours. This token will be used as a pledge."
Feng Ruo Nan waved the token in her hand, "I'm asking you how to bet?"
Niu Youdao cursed in his heart. This woman's appetite was really big. It seemed like she really wanted to earn that one hundred thousand gold coins. The so-called bet was just to attract the other party's interest so that they could continue the conversation. He didn't want to be chased away after a few sentences. He laughed dryly and said, "There's no need for a bet, right?"
Feng Ruo Nan's eyebrows twitched, and her face turned cold, "You dare to trick me?"
"I don't dare, I don't dare. Fine, fine, fine, we'll make this bet!" Niu Youdao raised both of his hands, as if he was admitting defeat, and came up with the terms of the bet, "Ten thousand gold coins for two hours. I bet that the general won't force me to return the money, and will even let me leave the camp safely. If I win the bet, I naturally don't have to return the ten thousand gold coins. If I lose, I'll return the one hundred thousand gold coins with interest. What does the general think? "
Feng Ruo Nan pondered for a moment, and felt that there was a problem with this bet. Her bright eyes flashed, and she sneered, "I don't think it's appropriate. It's better to change the terms of the bet. I'll lend you ten thousand gold coins, and you have two hours to return it. If you can return it smoothly, I'll let you leave safely. If you're late, you have to return the one hundred thousand gold coins with interest to me. You're at my disposal, and he …" She raised her chin at Yuan Gang, "If he can't return the money on time, he'll have to serve under me. How about it?"
Niu Youdao couldn't help but laugh. He realized that this woman was really someone who didn't want to lose out. With this kind of bet, she wouldn't lose out on either side. He purposely put on a difficult expression and said, "General, this kind of bet doesn't seem to give me any benefits at all!"
Feng Ruo Nan glared at him and said, "Isn't it a benefit that I'm willing to lend you money? Do you think anyone can borrow money from me? What, you don't have the confidence to return the money within two hours? If that's the case, you're here to swindle money? "
Niu Youdao smiled bitterly, "I'm willing to be a hostage here, how can it be swindle money?"
Feng Ruo Nan shouted, "If you have the confidence to return the money within the time limit, what are you afraid of? Are you going to bet or not? "She placed her hand on the sword hilt at her waist, as if she was about to draw her sword in anger.
Niu Youdao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Alright, alright, alright. I'll listen to General, I'll bet!"
Feng Ruo Nan stared at Yuan Gang, "Hey, big guy, do you agree?"
Yuan Gang nodded. Feng Ruo Nan waved her hand decisively, "Bring ten thousand gold coins over!"
Very soon, several people carried a heavy chest over. The lid of the chest was opened, revealing a pile of dazzling gold coins inside. An empty chest was placed at the side. They were changing the chest in front of Niu Youdao and Yuan Gang. In fact, they were counting the coins clearly.
After confirming that the amount of money was correct, Feng Ruo Nan waved her hand again, "Brush, ink, paper, and inkstone, prepare the terms of the bet!"
Immediately, someone brought over a brush, ink, paper, and inkstone, and wrote the terms of the bet. Feng Ruo Nan, Niu Youdao, and Yuan Gang all signed on it, and each side held a copy.
The process of borrowing money was considered complete. Yuan Gang squatted down and said, "Hai!", exhaled, and actually lifted the chest that required a few people to carry by himself. He raised his arm and half carried it on his shoulder. This action caused Feng Ruo Nan's eyes to flash with splendor, and she secretly praised, "What a man, what great strength, he can be a fierce general!"
"General, I'll send him to the door and leave a few words before returning." Niu Youdao turned around and asked Feng Ruo Nan for instructions. After all, he had already agreed to be a hostage.
Feng Ruo Nan generously waved her hand and wasn't afraid that Niu Youdao would be able to run away in her territory.
After the two brothers walked away, Niu Youdao turned around and muttered to Yuan Gang, who was carrying a chest, "This woman is up to no good and has a huge appetite. There's an 80% to 90% chance that she's trying to scam me. I'll see how she cries when I get back!"
Yuan Gang said, "Daoye, if you scam her like this, she might hate you for the rest of her life."
Niu Youdao chuckled, "I'm obviously helping her, okay? Monkey, speaking of which, this woman's physique is quite compatible with yours! "
"There's something wrong with your eyes!" Yuan Gang looked at him with disdain and changed his words, "If you can make her agree, I don't mind!"
"Uh …" Niu Youdao let out a dry laugh and said, "Forget it. This wild horse isn't something that anyone can ride. You and I don't have the fortune to enjoy it. It's better to leave it for those who are blessed to enjoy it!"
On the stage, Feng Ruo Nan watched the two of them walk away and said to her left and right, "Go and keep an eye on them. See what they are up to. Don't let them escape. If necessary, pass down my order to seal the four city gates! Also, make preparations. If they are really able to return the money on time, set up obstacles along the way and prevent them from returning within the stipulated time. I will definitely win this bet. I want the money, and I want the people too! "
