In the end, it was Li Chengqian who came to the servant's rescue.
"Take it. This bet isn't something you can decide."
"Fifteen million taels of silver, although it will drain the coffers of the people behind you."
"But if you factor in the money you've won in the last few days, you should still be able to survive."
"Although you lost money, you saved your lives."
"The Ming Dynasty's treasury is somewhat empty. If it could be replenished with 15 million taels of silver, things would be much better."
“If you give me this money, Young Master Huang will remember your kindness. This thing is much more valuable than money.”
"And you don't really think you've been unknown all this time, do you?"
“At the foot of the imperial city, what can be kept from Young Master Huang?”
After hearing Li Chengqian's words, the servant had no choice but to stand up shakily and put away the silver notes and jade pendant.
Receipts were issued to both of them.
Having received the receipt, Li Chengqian casually handed it to Huang Rong behind him.
"Take it. I'm not interested in this stuff. Use this little bit of money to buy cosmetics."
Women:? ? ?
This scene dazzled all the women present.
Li Chengqian has just placed a bet of one million taels of silver, and he is certain to win the bet.
So let's say this note is worth three million taels of silver, not including Li Chengqian's principal.
Who wouldn't be confused by the idea that four million taels of silver were used to buy rouge and face powder?
Looking at the receipt in her hand, Xiao Huangrong's hand trembled slightly.
I've never even heard of such a large sum of money, let alone seen it before.
That's enough to buy thousands of Peach Blossom Islands.
At the same time, Li Chengqian's behavior also made the concubines in the palace's eyes light up.
Especially the favored concubines, all eyes were on Young Master Huang.
The concubines and the empress said: "Look at him, he can casually spend four million taels of silver."
You earn so much, shouldn't you show your appreciation?
I don't need much, just a few hundred thousand taels will do.
Unfortunately, they could only think these words in their hearts. The imperial palace was not like the martial arts world; everything there was a set of rules.
Young Master Huang kept pretending not to see it; it was obvious he didn't want to pay.
Since Young Master Huang doesn't want to pay, how many people in the world would dare to force him?
Upon receiving the receipt, Huang Rong immediately began to calculate in her mind.
"Although Yu Yan didn't come this time, we should still save a portion for her."
"Six people, four million taels seems a bit difficult to divide!"
As she spoke, Huang Rong came to Li Chengqian's side, grabbed his arm, and shook it.
"Mr. Li, four million taels is not easy to divide!"
"Why don't you take some more, so we can make it a round number, okay?"
Faced with Huang Rong's behavior, Li Chengqian rolled his eyes and said, "There are still 200,000 taels of silver sent by the Azure Dragon Society in the inn."
"Find some time to exchange it for silver notes, is that alright now?"
Upon hearing this, Huang Rong immediately ran to the side happily and began to divide the spoils with Wang Yuyan.
The reason Li Chengqian gave four million taels of silver
The allocation list includes Lianxing, Yaoyue, Dongfang Bubai, Huang Rong, Wang Yuyan, and Jiang Yuyan.
But Wanwan, Shi Feixuan, and Shangguan Haitang were not among them.
Others might not understand it, but Huang Rong saw it very clearly.
These three people have impure intentions, and Mr. Li has never considered them as his own people.
Huang Rong easily obtained 200,000 taels of silver by simply acting cute, which made countless women extremely envious.
Seeing that Huang Rong was intentionally excluding her, Wanwan's face darkened.
cut!
It's just 700,000 taels, I don't care at all.
Okay, I am a little envious. Seven hundred thousand taels can do a lot of things.
At the same time, Tie Xinlan also looked at Hua Wuque beside her.
Although she didn't care about money, she really hoped that Hua Wuque could be like Mr. Li, casually spending hundreds of thousands of taels of silver to buy her cosmetics.
Faced with Tie Xinlan's gaze, Hua Wuque looked up at the sky and down at the ground, but dared not look at Tie Xinlan.
I'll get you several hundred thousand taels there; most banks don't even have that much money.
"Cough cough!"
Seeing that the situation was getting out of control, Young Master Huang quickly interrupted the topic.
"Mr. Li, now that you've finished your business, can you tell me some interesting stories?"
"We're all waiting to hear it."
Upon hearing this, Li Chengqian smiled and said, "Of course."
"By the way, how is Ye Gucheng's rebellion going on the other side?"
"There's still some time; we haven't taken any action yet."
"Lu Xiaofeng is following the clues I gave him, if nothing unexpected happens."
"They should stop Ye Gucheng from assassinating the double."
"If their plan is exposed, it will be impossible for them to carry it out."
Everyone:? ? ?
Wait a minute, your conversation just now was so full of information that we didn't catch it all at once.
Why aren't you surprised at all that Ye Gucheng is plotting a rebellion?
Furthermore, why can you speak so lightly of such a serious matter as treason?
Countless questions lingered in everyone's minds.
Huang Rong, who had been holding back for a long time, finally couldn't resist anymore.
"Mr. Li, what exactly happened? If it's convenient, could you tell us about it?"
“What’s inconvenient about that?” Li Chengqian waved his hand casually. “It’s actually very simple.”
"Ye Gucheng's swordsmanship has reached its peak, and there is no one in the world who can rival him."
"Having too much free time, he decided to find something to do."
"For someone like him, only rebellion is somewhat challenging."
"At the same time, the King of the South also wanted to rebel, so the two sides hit it off and planned this."
"what!"
Huang Rong's small mouth was slightly open.
"But he's only ranked fifth on the Sword God Ranking!"
"Why would someone think they are invincible?"
Upon hearing this, Li Chengqian chuckled softly.
"Because when he had this idea, Ping An Inn hadn't even appeared yet."
"Moreover, their method of rebellion is too naive. The Prince of the South and Emperor Ming are somewhat similar."
"Therefore, Ye Gucheng decided to use the challenge at the top of the Forbidden City to distract the Imperial Guards in the palace."
"Then they secretly killed Emperor Ming, using a substitution scheme."
"With the help of disguise and the eunuchs around Emperor Ming, it was very difficult for the imposter to be discovered."
"However, they miscalculated one thing."
"what's up?"
"They greatly underestimated the Ming emperor's control over the Ming Dynasty."
As he spoke, Li Chengqian looked at Young Master Huang with a smile.
"Am i right?"
"Young Master Huang!" Xian exclaimed.

Faced with Li Chengqian's question, Young Master Huang smiled but remained silent.
Li Chengqian, seeing this, didn't pay any attention and instead said to himself, "There are countless countries on the Nine Provinces Continent."
"But only six countries are qualified to be called emperors."
"Among them, the Tang and Qin states had the most wars. If anyone is interested, they might as well investigate it."
"After a detailed investigation, you will find that all the countries that are enemies of the six great dynasties..."
"In the end, it all came to a disastrous end."
"The only difference is the speed and the method."
"Why do people always think that a powerful nation capable of striking fear into the hearts of its neighboring countries can change dynasties by using some petty tricks?"
"If that's really the case, would the six great dynasties still be worthy of standing on the Nine Provinces Continent?"
