C189 Throw a Thousand

Yang Yinglong suddenly had a feeling that he had yet to give up, which aroused an inexplicable impulse. His heart started to beat faster, and his blood started to flow faster. He suddenly felt that his mouth was parched and his mouth was dry. His eyes seemed to be about to spit fire as he stared at Ma Yuxiao's figure hatefully. However, seeing that she had already walked towards Du Qi, she could only forcefully suppress all her desires. She swallowed a mouthful of saliva with some difficulty and said in a rather discontented and magnanimous manner, "Miss, there is no need to be polite. The one who said thank you should be this Yang."

Seeing Ma Yuxiao walk over, Du Qi hurriedly stood up and said with a smile, "We are just doing our best. Miss, there is no need for you to be so polite. We feel even more apologetic that Miss Lao is here. May I know how to address Miss?"

Hearing Du Qi's words, Yang Yinglong could not help but secretly curse himself for being muddle-headed. Under such circumstances, why did he not think of asking about the background of that beauty? Why didn't he say something nicer like Du Qi did? For a moment, he couldn't help but feel guilty. Suddenly, Ma Yuxiao seemed to be a little excited as she said, "This little girl's surname is Ma. I really don't dare to trouble Young Master Du to ask. This young lady toasts to Young Master Du!"

When Yang Yinglong heard Ma Yuxiao and Du Qi's angry words, he seemed to be more casual, natural, and friendly. There seemed to be a hidden joy in them. He could not help but feel jealous, but Ma Yuxiao only said her surname. He did not tell Du Qi her first name, which made him feel a little better.

Du Qi and Ma Yuxiao didn't drink for a long time, but Yang Yinglong felt that it was as if they had gone through half of their lives of torture. When he saw Ma Yuxiao finally turn around, he let out a sigh of relief.

Suddenly, heavy footsteps came from the stairs. Everyone in the hall was surprised and looked towards where the sound came from. Even Ma Yuxiao could not help but stop and turn around to look.

Hearing the footsteps rushing to this place, they did not say anything to the east. With a sword step, she flashed to the side of the hall door and saw two people carrying a foot-and-a-half square silver box, step by step, towards the hall door. He recognized that the person following behind was Steward Chen, who had just left under Yang Yinglong's orders, and quickly returned to the hall. He stood quietly at the side between Yang Yinglong and Ma Yuxiao.

Under Steward Chen's command, the two of them placed the box in the middle of the hall. After bowing to Yang Yinglong and the people in the hall, they turned around and left without saying a word. Steward Chen said to Yang Yinglong, "Young master, the box is here."

When Yang Yinglong saw them carrying the box, he immediately swept away the gloominess on his face and revealed a brilliant smile. He became high-spirited and stared at Ma Yuxiao. He did not look at the box but said to Steward Chen, "Open it!"

Steward Chen replied, "Yes!" As he said, he took out the key, opened the iron lock on the box, and opened the lid.

Suddenly, a dazzling golden light leaked out along with the opening of the chest. The piercing pain in the eyes of everyone in the hall caused them to feel pain in their eyes. When they looked carefully, they discovered that the chest was filled with gold bars. Yang Yinglong seemed to be slightly excited as he said proudly, "This is a total of a thousand gold taels. Take it as a token of my appreciation. I hope Miss Ma will accept it with a smile so that it can be used for daily expenses."

When everyone saw this chest of gold, they were already very surprised. They saw that Yang Yinglong actually wanted to give this chest full of gold bars to Ma Yuxiao. It was not unexpected, even Du Qi was somewhat surprised. He did not expect Yang Yinglong to spend so much money to win Ma Yuxiao's favor! He immediately thought of something. He knew what Yang Yinglong was thinking.

Although Ma Yuxiao grew up in the military camp, she had occasionally seen soldiers pay tens of thousands of taels of silver. But she had never seen so much gold. Now she saw it. She was quite surprised when she heard that Yang Yinglong wanted to give the gold to her. For a moment, she was at a loss for what to do.

According to Du Qi's plan, he wanted to squeeze Yang Yinglong out of the box and spend a thousand taels of silver. She did not expect Yang Yinglong to give out a thousand taels of gold. Ma Yuxiao was stunned for a long time. She still seemed to be in a trance as she said, "Young Master Yang gave me such a generous gift. How could I dare to take it? Please take back the order."

Yang Yinglong looked at the surprised, surprised, envious, and yearning expressions of the people in the hall. The effect was even better than he had expected. It was obvious that their plan was gradually coming to fruition. For a moment, he felt that victory was in sight. He could also hear the joy in Ma Yuxiao's tone. He could not help but feel even more proud and satisfied. He hurriedly pretended to not care and said, "When you are out, who doesn't have difficulties? Besides, we are on the same boat, so I should have a share of the expenses. So, Miss Ma can take it and use it. When it is used up, you can tell me. "

Ma Yuxiao said slowly," What Young Master Yang said is not unreasonable, but it is not without merit. How can I take Young Master Yang's money for no reason? How about Young Master Yang be in charge of the expenses on the ship? This little girl will also be grateful in her heart and will not dare to forget about it at all! "

Yang Yinglong said straightforwardly," Since we are both using the expenses on the ship, what is the difference between us? Isn't it the same for Miss Ma and me to pay? Miss Ma, please do not decline! "

Ma Yuxiao did not seem to be surprised and said, "This, this..."

Yang Yinglong said decisively," If Miss Ma continues to decline, it will be looking down on me! "

Steward Chen also helped her by saying, "Miss Ma, just take it. Otherwise, our young master will be angry. Once our young master is angry, it will make people unhappy!"

Yang Yinglong continued, "Steward Chen is right. I, Yang, have a good temper and won't get angry easily. But when I get angry, even if I am the king of the heavens, I won't be polite to him. This wasn't a boastful remark from me. If Miss Ma continued to reject him, I am really going to get angry!"

Ma Yuxiao said after a long pause, "Then, that little girl can only accept it respectfully. Cough, cough!"

Two tender coughs immediately made the hearts of everyone in the hall reach their throats. Yang Yinglong said in surprise, "What is it? Miss Ma's jade body owes peace? Do you want to find a doctor to take a look?"

Ma Yuxiao said faintly," Thank you, Young Master Yang, for asking out of concern. Cough, it doesn't matter. I was just worried about the cold along the way. I will be fine in a day or two. Cough, cough, cough. "

Yang Yinglong seemed to be somewhat anxious as he said," How can this be? A huge problem only arose because of a small illness. How can we bear to watch Miss Ma suffer from illness and torture? It's a pity that I don't know medicine. Steward Chen, go and ask if there are any doctors on the ship. Hurry up and call over to treat Miss Ma!"

Steward Chen immediately replied, "Yes, Young Master!" After saying that, Steward Chen turned around and was about to leave.

Du Qi suddenly smiled and said, "No need. I know a little about medicine. Let me take a look at Miss Ma's pulse."

Yang Yinglong looked at Du Qi suspiciously and said in surprise, "Younger brother really knows medicine?"

Du Qi smiled and said, "I don't dare to say that I understand. I only know a little about superficial knowledge, but treating headaches and gasping for breath, cold and fever should not have much problem. Young Master Yang, do you want to try? "
