Chapter 741: A woman disguised as a man, a proton, and a foolish marquis (16)

Late at night, Washington was silent with only a few dim candlelights swaying in the wind.

Hua Yanliang sat in the middle of the hall, opposite him sat seven or eight subordinates with serious expressions. After listening to Hua Yanliang's words, they showed an expression of disbelief on their faces, as if they had heard the most ridiculous joke.

As time passed, everyone's expressions gradually changed from shock to confusion and puzzlement.

After a long time, someone finally broke the silence. The new champion couldn't help but speak first: "Master, do you mean to hand over the throne to the third prince of the Southern Border Kingdom?"

His voice was full of surprise and questioning, as if he couldn't believe what he heard.

This sentence was like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, causing an uproar.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Hua Yanliang. Their burning gazes seemed to penetrate his body and explore his true thoughts.

Hua Yanliang, under tremendous pressure, nodded slowly and said softly, "Yes."

This simple answer exploded like a bomb among the crowd.

The crowd was immediately in an uproar, with discussions rising one after another. One of the men in armor widened his eyes, his eyes full of confusion, and shouted: "Are you crazy? We have been planning for so long, how can we just give it up so easily?"

His voice echoed in the hall, carrying strong dissatisfaction and unwillingness.

It's really no wonder that he was so excited. They had been planning for more than ten years to rebel and put their master on the throne.

Now they are saying that they want to join forces with the Third Prince of the Southern Border Kingdom, and they are also going to give away the throne? This is too outrageous.

Hua Yanliang: "..."

There is no need to say so bluntly that he is crazy, otherwise it would really make him look stupid.

He knew that this decision would cause opposition from everyone, but he had his own considerations.

He took a deep breath, trying to keep himself calm, and waved to everyone, trying to calm their excited emotions, and then slowly said: "Everyone, please calm down and listen to me."

"Now, most of the military power is in the hands of that incompetent emperor, and we only have a small part of it. Moreover, these troops are scattered at various borders to guard the borders. Everyone knows that if these troops are easily mobilized, it may cause serious consequences and even lead to the loss of the border."

"For now, cooperating with the Third Prince of the Southern Border Kingdom is the wisest choice. You all followed me without regrets, and I am grateful, but you all have your own families. If we can successfully clear the Hua family's grievances by cooperating with the Third Prince, and at the same time live up to your loyalty and support, then what's wrong with giving the throne to the Third Prince? After all, it doesn't matter who becomes the emperor, as long as our goal is achieved."

Hua Yanliang's voice gradually lowered and his speech slowed down. He continued, "The Third Prince of the Southern Border is an extremely ambitious person. Once he ascends the throne, he will definitely launch a war against the Northern Wing in an attempt to unify the entire world. In this case, why don't we follow the situation and cooperate with him? Perhaps we can become his right-hand man and enjoy the treatment of a meritorious official?"

I have to say that what he said is well-reasoned.

After hearing his words, everyone fell silent.

Yes, since the master has already said so, it doesn’t matter who we do it with.

No matter what, the throne will never be theirs.

If the three princes of the Southern Border Kingdom are really ambitious and can unify the world, then they can be considered founding heroes.

After everyone figured it out, they stopped objecting.

However, they still had some distrust towards the Third Prince of the Southern Border Kingdom, so they all said they wanted to keep a backup plan just in case.

Hua Yanliang also agreed with good temper.

Half an hour later, everyone dispersed.

However, an old slave who took care of Hua Yanliang did not leave.

He looked at the child he had taken care of since he was young, and asked with a complicated expression: "Young Master, are you right about the Third Prince..."

"No, I didn't, don't talk nonsense."

Hua Yanliang immediately denied it three times.

The old slave's expression became even more complicated, and he didn't say anything yet!

As a caring servant, he said nothing. He looked at Hua Yanliang hesitantly and left with a sigh.

That night, Hua Yanliang had a dream, a dream that made him blush and his heart beat fast, but also made him despise himself.

*

A few days later, Yu Chen stood in front of Yu Yan shyly and told her awkwardly that he had a girl he liked and that they had expressed their love to each other.

He originally thought that his sister would be very shocked by this, but when he finished speaking, he found that Yu Yan was drinking tea calmly without even raising her eyelids.

Yu Chen had a complicated expression on his face. He looked at his sister in confusion and couldn't help asking, "Why don't you ask me who the girl you like is?"

"Who else could it be besides Qi Yunchu?"

Yu Yan put down the teacup, looked up at him, couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth, and rolled her eyes.

Yu Chen's eyes widened immediately and he asked in surprise: "How did you know?"

Yu Yan shook her head helplessly, looked at him as if he were a fool, and did not answer.

Yu Chen understood instantly, a blush appeared on his face, and he scratched his head embarrassedly.

However, none of this matters now. What matters is to quickly marry the one you love.

Therefore, Yu Chen earnestly told Yu Yan, "Yan'er, after I go back, you take good care of your future sister-in-law and don't let her get wronged, understand? I will report to my father and mother as soon as possible, and ask my father and the Emperor of Beiyi to designate Chuchu to marry our Southern Territory. I think the Emperor of Beiyi will not refuse."

"Brother, when you leave, how can I get along with her? Should I fall in love with her on your behalf?"

Yu Yan did not respond, but instead brought up this fatal question.

Yu Chen's eyes widened instantly after hearing what his sister said.

Yes, why didn’t he think of this problem!

After he left, Qi Yunchu would definitely come to see him often. If she found out that he was not there, wouldn't she be exposed?

After all, he and his sister are two different people!

And, most importantly, he didn't want his sister to have any intimate behavior with Chu Chu on his behalf.

Even if it's my own sister, it's not allowed.

Yu Yan couldn't help but laugh when she saw her brother's anxious look.

She teased him deliberately: "Brother, go with peace of mind! I will take good care of my future sister-in-law. No matter what happens to her, I will be there whenever she calls, even at night."

"No, no."

Yu Chen's face changed drastically after hearing this. He waved his hands quickly and said, "Be honest and don't mess around. I'll stay for a few more days and find a chance to confess to Chu Chu."

He had confidence in Qi Yunchu. Even if she knew that her sister was disguised as a man and stayed in Beiyi Kingdom as a hostage, she would not tell this secret to anyone.

However, I wonder if she will ignore him after she knows the truth?

Thinking of this, Yu Chen, a young man just beginning to fall in love, became a little timid.

As soon as Yu Yan saw his expression, she knew what he was thinking and kindly offered an idea.

"Brother, if you really don't know how to start the conversation face to face, you can write a letter to Qi Yunchu. After she reads the letter, you can go to her to explain and then slowly coax her."

After hearing her words, Yu Chen's eyes lit up and he said happily: "Yan'er, this is a good idea."

After saying that, he took out paper and pen and began to write a letter.

The letter detailed his identity and the reason for exchanging identities with Yu Yan, and expressed his love and commitment to Qi Yunchu.

After writing, he folded the letter carefully and put it into his sleeve.

He decided that he would give her the letter the next time they met.

However, things always happen so unexpectedly.

Qi Yunchu deliberately sneaked out of the house to find Yu Chen, and when she opened the door, she saw two people who looked exactly the same.
