The girl traveled through another world and forced the prince to take the imperial examination
Chapter 208 Old acquaintance
Ning Dechang knew it was a trap, yet he was willing to jump in. The person sitting above was imposing and had an extraordinary bearing.
He wanted to take a gamble. If that person could ascend to the throne of the Supreme Emperor in the future, even if their Ning family had the merit of following the dragon, they would surely rise to prominence in the future. How could they let such an opportunity go?
Ning Dechang quickly stepped forward, not daring to wait for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to speak: "I, the humble Ning Dechang, am willing to help His Royal Highness the Crown Prince with his worries."
Yun Qing glared at Fang Xurao unhappily, but Fang Xurao shrank aside, pretending not to see.
Yunqing, look, he hasn't even opened his mouth yet, but someone has already come to him and said, "Then, Patriarch Ning, tell me how you can help me share my worries!"
Ning Dechang swallowed his saliva. Although he was experienced in the business world, he still didn't have the confidence to face the imperial power.
At this moment, Ning Haochen suddenly stood up and said, "I, Ning Haochen, am willing to go to Southern Yan for Your Highness. If Your Highness needs any food, I will do my best to help."
Yun Qing hadn't noticed this person just now, but now that he looked at him again, he realized that this person was unusual.
He was a young man, with a figure as straight as a pine tree, wearing a half-worn green long gown, and his temperament was outstanding.
Looking at his face again, he had sharp eyebrows, bright eyes, a high nose bridge, and thin lips slightly pursed, revealing a calm and reserved aura. His eyes were deep and bright, as if they could see through everything, yet were still hard to fathom.
The decisiveness he exuded was impossible to ignore. Every gesture he made was so decisive and quick that it was impossible to ignore him.
Yun Qing did not respond to him, but admired him in his heart.
Ning Dechang was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat. His youngest son, who was usually calm and composed, was so reckless today.
"Your Highness, my son was ignorant and offended you. Please forgive him this time!"
Yun Qing ignored Ning Dechang and turned to look at Ning Haochen: "How old is Mr. Ning this year?"
"Your Highness, I am nineteen years old this year and will be twenty soon." Ning Haochen answered neither humbly nor arrogantly.
Yun Qing found this man quite interesting. He lowered his eyes, tapping his fingers lightly on the armrest of the chair, his face darkening and his aura becoming more pronounced. After being the crown prince for so many years, he had mastered the art of bluffing to perfection.
You know, the fearless female hero Liuliusanshiliu was scared by him in this way.
Yun Qing's handsome face was covered in frost, so cold that it lacked any warmth. A pair of deep eyes flashed with a cold light as they stared coldly at the person before them.
After a while, he said in a low voice, "You know, I hate those who lie all the time."
Having said this, he paused for a moment, then his tone became even more stern: "Not only that, I deeply detest those who flatter others with sweet words. Such people will die miserably if they fall into my hands."
His voice was not loud, but every word he said was cold and hard, like an ice spike piercing people's hearts, making people shudder.
Fang Xurao was frightened and secretly took two steps back. The dog beside him didn't dare to say a word.
Ning Dechang knelt down and pleaded for his youngest son. Only Ning Haochen was as steady as a rock, as if he was fully confident of his success.
"I am a humble commoner, neither civil nor military, but I have some knowledge of business. I am willing to do what I can for Your Highness."
Yun Qing was very satisfied with Ning Haochen's performance. He passed the first level of the test.
He glanced at Fang Xurao, who was sitting on the side with his dog. This man was indeed a seasoned veteran. "Master Fang, are you busy with official duties? I won't keep you for dinner."
Fang Xurao didn't dare to stay for dinner. When he heard that he could leave, he felt as if he had been pardoned.
"Your Highness, I dare not disturb your rest. I will take my leave now."
Yun Qing raised his hand to see the guest off.
Ning Dechang felt somewhat disappointed. It was understandable that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince looked down upon their Ning family, but he was afraid that there would be no such opportunity in the future. What a pity!
He turned around and followed Fang Xurao. After taking two steps, he found that his youngest son Ning Haochen was still standing there with his head down. He was about to pull him when he heard the person sitting upstairs speak again.
"You, stay!"
Ning Haochen lifted his clothes and knelt on the ground, saying in a deep voice: "I, Ning Haochen, am willing to serve Your Highness like a dog or a horse! Even if there are thousands of difficulties and dangers, I will not refuse even if I die!"
Ning Dechang took a while to come back to his senses. Surprised and surprised, he knelt hurriedly: "I will lead the strength of my entire clan and swear to be loyal to Your Highness until death."
Yun Qing's expression was calm as he spoke slowly, "I will remember the Ning family's heroic act in my heart. After the epidemic is over, I will reward them according to their merits."
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Ning Haochen was left behind, while Fang Xurao and Ning Dechang walked to the gate of the Mu Mansion and waited for the guards to take them out.
Fang Xu smiled, bowed, and said sincerely, "Congratulations, Master Ning! Your son has been chosen by the current Crown Prince. This is a great joy! I believe he will have a bright future and rise to prominence!"
When Ning Dechang heard this, a smile immediately appeared on his face. He quickly bowed in return and responded with great trepidation.
"Oh, Master Fang, you are so kind! I owe this opportunity to you. I will never forget your kindness, especially your guidance. I will definitely pay you a personal visit to express my gratitude someday. I hope you will not mind my intrusion."
Just as the two were standing at the door flattering each other, they saw two guards slowly approaching, carrying a heavily tied man.
The person who was tied up was none other than Xu Laoer. At this moment, Xu Laoer had a piece of rag stuffed in his mouth, and could only make a whimpering sound, his face covered with tears.
Fang Xurao has been an official for many years, and out of professional habit, he always inquires about unusual matters.
"What are you doing..." He regretted it after saying that. This was the prince's territory, and so many people had died outside, so he didn't dare to intervene.
At this moment, a middle-aged man in his forties walked out from the inner door.
He was wearing a simple green gown. He was tall and thin, and walked lightly and steadily. His face looked a little weathered, and his hair was a little messy, giving people a loose feeling.
He walked towards them and called out to the two guards, "Oh! Why are you so slow? Hurry up and carry him to the back room. Wash him first, he stinks!"
Fang Xurao was even more shocked when he saw this person, and blurted out: "Feng Zhishang!"
Feng Zhishang stopped his hurried steps and turned to look at the two men. He looked for a long time before slowly recognizing them: "Fang Lingshi!"
Fang Xurao bowed in surprise and said, "It really is Brother Feng!"
Feng Zhishang took a few steps closer and almost bumped into Fang Xurao's face: "Fang Xurao! Is it really you? How did you become so old?"
"Oh!" Fang Xurao said awkwardly, "You're almost a grandfather, how can you not be old? But, Brother Feng is still as charming as ever."
"Hmph! Stop trying to get close to me." Feng Zhishang's expression suddenly changed, like a cat with its fur standing on end. "You little bastard Fang, I don't have a brother like you."
Feng Zhishang said this and walked away. Fang Xurao was stunned for a moment, then quickly stepped forward and grabbed his sleeve.
"Oh my! Brother Feng, I've been searching for you for so many years, but I didn't expect you to still be angry. You're so stubborn. Your temper hasn't changed at all."
"Haha! You're so good, Fang Xurao, you've even learned to make sarcastic remarks. I can't stand your smug look the most."
The two men were about to quarrel. Ning Dechang didn't know what lawsuit they had. On one side was the prefect, and on the other side were the prince's men. He couldn't afford to offend either of them, so he could only stand in the middle and mediate.
