Chapter 460 You have a younger sister?
Chapter 460 You have a younger sister?
Jiang Huan lowered her eyes and glanced at the silk boxes placed on the ground, and the anger in her heart subsided a lot.
The reputation of this Third Princess of Northern Yan who rose to fame on the battlefield is well-known. Now that I have met her in person, I realize that the legendary female general who is said to be so decisive and ruthless actually has such a delicate and thoughtful side.
Jiang Huan still has great respect for this rumored third princess of Northern Yan.
"Your Highness is so polite. The people of Qingzhou are extremely grateful to you for coming forward to mediate."
She glanced at the silk that the guards behind Murong Xue were carrying, her back straight, and although there was a gentle smile on her face, her words were firm and unquestionable.
"Your Highness Princess is devoted to the people, which is a blessing for the people of Qingzhou. Mo Yu Villa has been established here for decades and has been cared for by all sides. Today's riot at the city gate should be handled by our Mo Yu Villa."
She raised her hand towards Zhou Shuchen and ordered, "Count the losses of the merchants immediately and send compensation to each family within three days. If Her Royal Highness insists on keeping the property, it will make us at Mo Yu Villa seem ungrateful."
Murong Xue looked at the eldest lady of Mo Yu Villa who was methodically directing the disciples of Mo Yu Villa to comfort the people and count the losses. She had a frail figure, but an aura that made people believe.
She subconsciously tightened the jade pendant around her waist, feeling a pang of sadness in her heart.
My mother was also like this at that time, gentle and tough. However, after entering the palace, the hidden and open attacks, the treacherous power struggles, eventually crushed her life under the Phoenix Seal.
If those two idiots really won the martial arts competition, this intelligent and generous girl in front of her would probably be trapped in the deep palace, repeating the mistakes of her mother and perishing in endless power struggles.
Murong Xue nodded and smiled at Jiang Huan, "In this case, I will accept your kindness. If you need me, Murong Xue, in the future, please just ask."
After saying that, she left with her guards.
Looking quietly at the receding figure of the Third Princess of Beiyan and recalling what she had just said and done, it can be seen that this is a princess who loves the people and is brave and resourceful.
But just now, he couldn't help but secretly peeked into the fate of the third princess of Beiyan. Originally, he was not considered a member of the royal family, but he didn't know what happened recently. Since he came to Qingzhou City, he always felt uneasy.
Just now, Shi An and A Dou angered the two princes, but he didn't see any action from the people in Changsheng Palace, which made him even more puzzled.
But if those two princes didn't have anyone from the Palace of Eternal Life by their side, why were they so sure that they could win this time that they even brought betrothal gifts from the capital?
What are the people from Changsheng Palace trying to do by hiding in the dark?
Shi An and A Dou looked at Jing Xin, who looked pale, and asked curiously, "What's wrong with you?"
Then he thought of something, his eyes widened in fear, and he quickly supported Jingxin, whispering, "Were you attacked by the Changsheng Palace just now?"
Jingxin bared her teeth and covered her chest, "No, I didn't find where the Hall of Eternal Life is."
"Then what's wrong with you?" It was the first time for the two little ones to see Jingxin look so bad.
Although his state of mind during meditation was usually lifeless, his face had never been so pale.
"Hiss~ I just couldn't help but take a peek at the future of the Third Princess of Beiyan..."
Fortunately, he stopped in time, otherwise he would have suffered backlash for spying on the fate of the royal family.
But thinking of the scene I just spied—
The firelight illuminated the blood-stained skirt of the Third Princess of Beiyan, and the long sword in her hand was piercing the people who were kneeling on the ground crying and begging for mercy.
Jingxin was puzzled. Judging from what the Third Princess of Beiyan had just done and the rumors she had heard from the people recently, the Third Princess of Beiyan was clearly a person who loved the people. So why would she embark on the path of slaughter?
The matter at the city gate was settled, and Jingxin went back to lie down and rest for a few days. The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.
As a result, he felt listless every day.
And these past few days, Adou and Shian have been doing very well in the martial arts training field. Now, everyone who sees them in Mo Yu Villa can't help but praise them as little prodigies.
He has such a high level of comprehension at such a young age. He will definitely be one of the two great masters in the martial arts world when he grows up.
This time when Adou and Shian came back, Jiang Huan and Zhou Shuchen personally sent them back.
Now, after a few days of getting along with them, Zhou Shuchen has changed from being hostile in the beginning to wishing the two kids were just his younger brothers. He is also very proud that their Mo Yu Villa has produced two martial arts prodigies.
Originally he thought Ah Hu came for Jiang Huan, but after spending a few days with him, he found that although Ah Hu was sixteen years old, he was as old as Ah Niu and Ah Rong at heart, and he didn't understand anything about love.
Moreover, Jiang Huan also treated those three people as his younger brothers.
When the few people came in, they saw Ah Hu with a sad face. The housekeeper said that Ah Hu had not wanted to eat or drink since he came back from the city gate last time.
Originally Jiang Huan thought that Ah Hu was frightened by what happened at the city gate that day, but so many days have passed and there has been no improvement at all. This shouldn't be right.
She couldn't help but ask, "Ah Hu, what's wrong with you? Where do you feel uncomfortable?"
Jingxin came back to his senses and saw Jiang Huan and his group. He decided to go find the village chief. He covered his chest and said with a sad face, "Nothing, I just miss my sister a little bit."
"You have a sister?"
Jiang Huan and Zhou Shuchen said in unison, truly stunned.
Adou and Shian also stared at Jingxin with curiosity. He wanted to see what kind of character Jingxin would create next.
Nod quietly.
"Where is your sister? I'll send someone to bring her to Mo Yu Villa. It's a good opportunity for you to live together, and you don't have to worry about your sister being unsafe outside." Jiang Huan remembered that when they first met, Ah Hu said that he was an orphan. She must have picked up this sister from somewhere.
I didn't expect Ah Hu to be such a kind person.
Jingxin shook her head and said, "No need, we will go pick her up ourselves. My sister is quite shy and timid. She will be scared when she sees strangers."
When Adou and Shian heard Jingxin say this, they immediately knew who this sister was. She was their awesome village chief.
Although Jingxin did not agree with the description that the village chief was timid and shy, they had not seen the village chief for so many days, so the two of them immediately became excited. They missed the village chief very much.
The two immediately cooperated and said, "Yes, we miss our sister. She is timid and afraid of strangers. Let's go pick her up ourselves."
When Jiang Huan heard them say this, she didn't force them. She asked them to go and come back quickly, and to remember to inform her immediately if anything happened.
Jingxin immediately perked up from her previous listlessness and lost her appetite, and went straight to the inn where the village chief was staying with Adou and Shian.
As soon as I arrived at the inn, I saw the village chief mingling with a group of gangsters.
Sure enough, no matter where the village chief goes, he is always the most eye-catching one.
Jingxin originally wanted to go in to find the village chief, but there were too many people and she couldn't squeeze in.
The person in front said fiercely to Jingxin and the other two who were pushing forward: "Why are you pushing so hard? If you want to listen to Mr. Biao's stories, then come early tomorrow to take a seat. This seat is mine!"Chapter 461: Storytelling Wine
Chapter 461: Storytelling Wine
Jingxin was confused, but he had something important to discuss with the village chief right now and had no time to pay attention to the person in front of him.
"What are you talking about? She's my sister and I'm her brother. Make way, make way!"
"Hey! How come you don't understand what I'm saying? What brother and sister? Who are you trying to fool? Our Boss Biao is a boy, an orphan at that, who grew up in the underworld? You want to pretend to be Boss Biao's brother and sneak into the front row to tell Boss Biao stories? No way!"
Jingxin and the other two were dumbfounded. No, the village chief had done something conspicuous again?
The three were standing outside the crowd when they heard the village chief's voice. What about Sun Wukong, the Three Defeats of the White Bone Demon, and some monster? The three were confused at first, but gradually they became fascinated and completely forgot why they came to see the village chief.
The village chief had such a good story, why didn't he tell them before?
At this time, Xiaojiu, who was standing in front of him, was preaching with great emotion, "The White Bone Demon transformed into an old woman and fell to the ground, asking Tang Monk for help.
Cuihua and the Fourth Prince on the side performed together.
Xiao Jiu pinched his throat and imitated the old woman's voice and shouted: "Elder, help me——"
"The Tang Monk showed reluctance and was about to step forward..."
"Hiss!" Everyone in the inn breathed a sigh of relief.
"It happened in a flash!"
Xiaojiu said this, took out the cup and drank a sip of water.
Everyone's appetite was whetted and they all stared at Xiaojiu, waiting for her next words.
After drinking the wine, Xiaojiu covered the cup and said, "To know what happened next, please listen to the next chapter!"
The whole room was in uproar.
"No! What's going on behind?"
"Yes! Doesn't Sun Wukong have flaming eyes? Did he discover the monster?"
"Boss Biao, keep talking! Don't leave!"
"Yes, Mr. Biao, did Sun Wukong take out his golden cudgel and beat up the White Bone Demon?"
"…."
Not only were the martial arts people in the inn extremely anxious, but Jingxin and the other two who squeezed in halfway were also scratching their heads.
Xiaojiu picked up the water glass and took his fourth brother and Cuihua back to his room without looking back.
Xiaojiu returned to the house and jumped up excitedly when he thought of how anxious the group of people were and how they wanted to hear their subsequent expressions.
So this is what it feels like to keep someone on suspense.
"If you want to know what happens next, please listen to the next chapter." She learned this sentence from a storyteller two days ago.
I get angry whenever I think about this.
A few days ago, she took Cuihua to see a teahouse full of people, and went in for a while out of curiosity.
Oh my god, I can't get out after waiting for this long.
The storyteller was dancing with joy as he told the story. Xiaojiu and Cuihua, who loved gossip, heard the story in this way for the first time. The child and the chicken were fascinated. When they heard the exciting parts, one of them clapped and cheered loudly, while the other flapped its wings and called "cluck, cluck, cluck" with its neck raised.
Such a strange combination really made the people in the teahouse laugh.
Especially for storytellers, it is common to see people applauding loudly, but this is the first time he has seen a chicken clucking so enthusiastically in all his years of storytelling.
But just when Xiaojiu was getting excited and the protagonist was about to kill the villain, the storyteller said, "To know what happens next, please wait for the next chapter!"
Xiaojiu is so angry!
Unable to sleep in the middle of the night, she scratched her head and head because she wanted to know what happened next. She and the child flew to the storyteller's house angrily, pulled him out of the quilt in the middle of the night, and insisted that he tell her what happened next.
As a result, Xiaojiu, a stubborn girl, met someone who was more principled than her.
If you really want to hear the follow-up, see you at the teahouse at the same time and place tomorrow.
Is the stubborn Xiaojiu someone who would listen? Of course not, he took out a silver ingot on the spot.
As a result, the storyteller righteously refused, insisting that it was his professional ethics and he could not reveal the plot, as it would be unfair to other listeners.
The frustrated child and chicken went to listen to the follow-up the next day.
Even though she finished listening to the story, she still felt unhappy.
Look, I've set up a stage in the inn. Who can't tell a story?
She also wants others to experience the feeling of scratching their heads.
The two kids and a chicken were just feeling proud when they heard a knock on the door.
The Fourth Prince opened the door curiously and saw Jingxin and the other two, the people whom Xiong Da had come to complain to a few days ago.
"Huh? Didn't Xiong Da say that you sneaked out to do something big? What? Have you finished the big thing?" The Fourth Prince looked up and down at the three people at the door.
How dare they leave Big Bear behind and sneak out to play, and even claim to be doing something big. He looked like he was watching a good show, and shouted to his sister, "Sister, Jingxin and the others are back from doing something big."
Jingxin and the other two dug their toes into the ground in embarrassment.
I didn't expect that Big Bear would complain. That's too much.
When they slipped away, they did leave a note for Xiong Da saying that the three of them were going out to do something big, but now their big plan has not made any progress. Although they have sneaked into Mo Yu Villa, they still have no idea where to start.
Now I come to find the village chief because I want the village chief to go to Mo Yu Villa with me. Maybe with the village chief's presence, I can push things forward.
Jing Xin stood at the door awkwardly for a few seconds, then immediately said confidently: "Yes! We are here to do something big!"
Ah Dou and Shi An quickly nodded in agreement, "That's right, what we are doing now is very big."
"Hmph! Liar, why do you come to look for Sister Changle when you want to do something big?" The Fourth Prince still holds a grudge. Before he entered Beiyan, when they were divided into teams, Jingxin and the other two said that he could not fly high or fast, and would definitely hold his sister back.
Although he admitted that this was true, he didn't like to hear it.
Jingxin and the other two were purely jealous at the time. They were so angry that the Fourth Prince was in a group with the village chief that they wanted to curse even the passing dogs.
The fourth prince put his hands on his hips and blocked the door to prevent them from entering.
Adou and Shian each lifted one foot and carried the fourth prince to the side.
The fourth prince cried out in anger.
Jingxin and the other two calmed down the screaming Fourth Prince and then walked into the house.
What I saw was the village chief lying on the table, writing something with a pen and paper.
The sun really rose from the west, and the village chief actually started reading.
A few people came closer to take a look, and when they saw the contents on the paper, the corners of their mouths twitched.
It described how she was going to fight the storyteller at Qianshan Teahouse to avenge herself for the time she spent scratching her head and not sleeping all night.
It turns out that when people do bad things, they are very active and don't feel tired at all.
Xiaojiu, who noticed someone around him, looked up at Jingxin with a confused look on his face, "Have you finished the big thing?"
"Of course!" Although things haven't made much progress yet, this doesn't stop Jing from feeling confident.
"What's the big deal?" Xiaojiu's curiosity was really piqued. He stopped writing with his eyes shining. "You guys defeated the old owner of Moyu Villa? You took over Moyu Villa?"
Jingxin choked, "That's not the case."
After hearing that, Xiaojiu immediately lost interest and picked up the pen to continue his storytelling career.
Jingxin quickly said: "Although not, but I have something bigger."
If it's not about fighting for territory, Xiaojiu won't have any interest in it.Chapter 462 Sheng Family
Chapter 462 Sheng Family
She and Cuihua wandered around Qingzhou City almost every night these past few days, but they didn't find any trace of the Palace of Eternal Life. They were so bored that they almost died.
It took a lot of effort to discover this fascinating career of storytelling.
Ever since she told the story of Sun Wukong, people from all over the world are now worshipping her as the boss. This feeling of being popular and being the center of attention is really great.
Nothing is bigger than the feeling of being a star right now.
Jingxin saw that the village chief looked uninterested and almost shook her.
"Village Chief, do you still remember why we came to Beiyan this time?"
"I know!"
"That's good to know!" Jingxin quickly told him what happened at the city gate. "Village chief, do you find it strange?"
"What's strange about that?" Xiaojiu replied lazily while lying on the table.
"Even though Adou and Shi'an were provocative, the people from the Hall of Immortality did not secretly take action. What does this mean?"
"What does it mean?"
"This means that there are no people from the Palace of Eternal Life around those two princes."
"I know!" Xiaojiu knew about this when she went out for a walk a few nights ago.
"The people from the Hall of Eternal Life are hiding in...what? You knew about this? When did you know about this, Village Chief?" Jingxin was completely stunned.
"I found out on the first night I came here. I searched the entire Qingzhou City, but didn't see anyone from the Palace of Eternal Life." Xiaojiu looked at Jingxin strangely.
"Is this the big deal you mentioned?"
Poor little Jingxin, who worked so hard to pretend to be a homeless child, is so annoying.
After racking my brains for so many days to find out the news, it turned out that the village chief's family had already known it when she went out for a walk.
Then all the efforts of the three of them over the past few days would have been in vain.
Jingxin did not give up, "Then the Third Princess of Beiyan will massacre the people in the future. Do you also know this?"
Xiaojiu, who was lazily lying on the table, instantly perked up when he heard this.
"Will Murong Xue massacre the people in the future?"
Jingxin, who was finally able to reveal a piece of news that the village chief didn't know, immediately held her head high and said, "I took a little peek and was almost retaliated against. I had to rest for several days."
Xiaojiu then remembered that the third princess of Beiyan was a member of the royal family. Jingxin had told him before that his master told him not to pry into the fate of members of the royal family.
Originally she thought that his master was fooling him, but she didn't expect that it was really impossible to spy on him.
Jingxin stroked his chin, looking puzzled, "Village Chief, don't you think this is a bit strange?"
Xiaojiu's expression became serious, his brows almost tied into a knot, and he asked doubtfully: "Jingxin, could you have seen it wrong?"
She had just heard the storyteller talk about the Third Princess of Northern Yan a few days ago. The storyteller described the Third Princess of Northern Yan as a princess who loved her people like her own children and was also very good at fighting.
"Impossible, Village Chief, you can doubt my martial arts, but you can't doubt my ability. This ability to observe qi and predict fate is a unique skill of my master."
Xiaojiu swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth, "Then why?"
The Fourth Prince had no time to bear grudge and joined them. A few days ago, he had also gone to the teahouse with the village chief to listen to the storyteller.
"Isn't this Third Princess of Beiyan a goddess in the hearts of the people of Beiyan? I heard that she is very kind to the people. Is she pretending?"
After all, the Fourth Prince grew up in the palace. It is not uncommon in the palace for people like him to put on a kind face in front of others but hide fangs behind their backs.
"No!" Fat Biao, who had been listening at the door for a long time, continued: "As far as I know, the foundation of the Northern Yan was built by the Sheng family with their flesh and blood. Since the founding of the country, the generals of the Sheng family have led their troops to fight north and south, sweeping away banditry at sea, defeating barbarian tribes, and establishing separatist forces everywhere. The Sheng family used their numerous military exploits to push Northern Yan to the position of the overlord of the four countries."
"The current emperor was able to sit on the throne thanks to the full support of the Sheng family both inside and outside the court. After ascending the throne, the emperor married the eldest daughter of the Sheng family as his queen, and gave birth to the third princess of Beiyan. But she died a few years later."
"Killed by the emperor?" The fourth prince widened his eyes in shock. This experience seemed familiar.
It seems that before he knew about his younger sister Changle, the rumor outside was that his father killed the queen and even the child in her belly was not spared.
But his father was even more excessive. People said that his father was afraid of the Zhenbei Marquis family, so not only did he kill the Queen, but he was also so cruel that he killed all the male members of the Queen's family.
The Fourth Prince really believed that his father was such a bad person. He was very afraid of his father and was always worried that his mother would anger his father. His father would secretly kill him and his mother. Not only that, he also killed his maternal grandfather's entire family.
He was so scared that he had nightmares several times at night, dreaming that he was cut into pieces by his father.
It was not until he heard that Sister Changle had come to the capital and saw with his own eyes Sister Changle exorcising demons on the high platform set up by the imperial teacher that he never had a nightmare again.
"That's unknown, but an emperor who can collude with the Palace of Eternal Life must be a stupid, evil and incompetent ruler." Fat Biao said disdainfully.
"Then why did the Sheng family support this bad emperor to ascend the throne? Why didn't they ascend the throne themselves?" Xiaojiu didn't understand.
Fat Biao sighed, "The Sheng family has been loyal to the entire Northern Yan for generations. Loyalty to the emperor is engraved in their bones, so it is impossible for them to rebel."
"Moreover, the previous emperor's several princes were all useless. His Majesty is indeed the most decent among all the princes at that time."
He paused, his eyes becoming complicated, "Perhaps when this emperor was still a prince, he might have really cared about the world, that's why the Sheng family married their daughter to him."
"But who knows, people, once they have power, everything will change. Recently, I heard that in order to live a few more years, this dog emperor colluded with the Changsheng Palace, completely ignoring whether this would lead to a wolf entering the house."
Fat Biao's tone was full of sarcasm.
He just doesn't understand, what's the good of so many people liking power? Isn't it tiring?
Several children were eagerly waiting for him to continue, but Pang Biao fell silent while he was talking.
This won't work. Several people hurriedly asked, "What happened next?"
Fat Biao looked at the group of eager-eyed children and coughed lightly.
The Fourth Prince, who had learned experience from Pang Biao's story, quickly handed him a glass of water.
Fat Biao took it with satisfaction and took a sip, then continued, "After the queen died, the Sheng family was worried that their granddaughter would not be safe living in the palace at such a young age, so they took her to the Sheng family to raise her. Since she was young, this princess has shown extraordinary military talent."
"The old master of the Sheng family had a keen eye for talent and personally taught her how to deploy troops and command her subordinates. He carefully nurtured her since she was young and taught her all the military tactics of the Sheng family. When she came of age, he handed over the military power that had been held by the Sheng family for generations to the hands of the Third Princess of Northern Yan."Chapter 463 Do you want to go to Mo Yu Villa for fun?
Chapter 463 Do you want to go to Mo Yu Villa for fun?
"Originally, people didn't think highly of her, thinking that as a girl in charge of the military power of the Sheng family, the Sheng family would be defeated by her sooner or later. Unexpectedly, the Third Princess of Beiyan was even more skilled in the battlefield than her predecessors. Not only that, after taking power, the Third Princess of Beiyan not only made numerous military exploits, but also cared about the people, often exempted taxes, and opened warehouses to provide relief food, which made her deeply supported and loved by the people."
After Pang Biao finished speaking, Xiaojiu fell into deep thought.
When Shi An saw that her sister didn't say anything, she thought that Pang Biao was praising other princesses and she was unhappy.
He quickly flattered her: "Sister, I think you are the most powerful. The Third Princess of Beiyan is not even as powerful as you."
Xiaojiu, who was suddenly praised, was not modest at all, "Yeah, I know! Of course I am a hundred times better than her. If I were her, when I just learned to walk, I would have knocked her father down and sat on the throne myself."
Everyone present: silently lit a candle for the emperor far away in Dongxia Kingdom.
The Fourth Prince could now imagine how badly his father would be beaten by his sister Changle if he did something foolish in the future.
Although he was a little unfilial, he still wanted to see his father being beaten. It was because his father would scold him every time they met. He tried his best not to appear in front of his father, but he was still called into the palace to be scolded every few days.
Oh! It's so hard to be a son. I want to be a father.
Ah Dou glanced at the village chief and asked, "Village chief, do you think that the Third Princess of Beiyan is like your father, being controlled by insects, and then having her memory tampered with by the people of the Palace of Eternal Life?"
Xiaojiu also thought of this possibility. If he was simply controlled by insects, there was no reason why Jingxin couldn't see it. It was very likely that his memory had been tampered with.
Jing Xin was confused, "That's even more strange. This princess is very skilled in martial arts and is surrounded by many experts. Otherwise, Changsheng Palace would not have been unable to find an opportunity to attack for so many years."
"It doesn't make sense for such a vigilant person to be bewitched and have his memory tampered with by the people of the Hall of Eternal Life?"
"I don't want to think about it anymore, village chief. Do you want to go to Mo Yu Villa for fun?" Jing Xin felt that instead of guessing here, it would be better to just go and find out what was going on.
Ah Dou came forward excitedly and invited, "Yes, village chief, come play with us. Shi An and I are now the most powerful martial arts prodigies in Mo Yu Villa. We are very popular."
This is not bragging. They are praised wherever they go in Mo Yu Villa.
Shi An quickly added: "Sister, if you go, you will definitely be a martial arts genius who is more powerful than the child prodigy."
"How popular are you?" Xiaojiu was not interested in whether to play or not, but when it came to being popular, she had to feel it.
Speaking of this, Ah Dou became excited, "Village Chief, the last time I shot arrows, I hadn't even shown my full strength yet, but those disciples from Mo Yu Villa were so excited that they insisted that I was an archery genius. Later, when I practiced Qinggong, I flew higher than everyone else in the martial arts training ground, and they excitedly said that I was a Qinggong genius again. Later..."
"Okay, stop talking, I'm going!" How could she, Boss Biao, be missing at such a pretentious moment?
Shi An clapped his hands happily, "Sister, if you go, you will definitely be better than a child prodigy..." After thinking for a long time, he couldn't think of any word better than a child prodigy, so he finally said, "Sister, you must be the best in the world."
Xiaojiu was praised so much that the corners of his mouth were almost hanging down to his ears.
"Let's go now." Xiaojiu rolled up his sleeves and rushed to Moyu Villa.
"Wait!" Jingxin quickly pulled Xiaojiu who was about to show off in front of others, "Um, village chief, the identity I just introduced to others is my sister."
"Oh, I understand." Xiaojiu said, broke free from Jingxin's hand, and was about to continue moving forward. She couldn't wait to show everyone her strength.
Jingxin held Xiaojiu again, hesitating to speak, "Um, village chief, I told others that my sister is timid and afraid of strangers, so..."
Xiaojiu pointed at himself and asked in confusion: "Me?"
To be honest, this is the first time I heard someone say that they are timid and afraid of strangers. It's such a strange word.
This was the first time she had heard the word "timid" in her life.
Jingxin also knew that his introduction was somewhat inappropriate, but in the emergency at the time, he could only think of this excuse.
"How about, village chief, you pretend?"
Jingxin looked at Xiaojiu's face and found it funny when she said this.
It was really hard for her to have the village chief, who could even chat with the clouds in the sky, pretend to be timid and afraid of strangers.
"No, if I'm timid and afraid of strangers, how can I show off my awesome strength?" Xiaojiu was very unwilling.
Jingxin scratched his head anxiously and could only shamelessly fool around.
"Village chief, you see, you've never played the role of a timid person before. It might be fun. Do you want to give it a try? You're the village chief, you must know everything."
Unable to resist the compliment, Xiaojiu said, "Of course I can do anything. I'll just act."
When the fourth prince heard that his sister was going to Mo Yu Villa with them, he said, "I want to go too. What role should I play?"
Jingxin looked him up and down and said, "Your body type doesn't fit our character profile."
They are now a group of lonely and homeless poor people.
"Then can't I play the role of a rich man who raises a younger sister?" The Fourth Prince puffed up his cheeks and for the first time felt a strong desire to lose weight.
"That's fine. Okay, let's pack up and go."
Fat Biao was a little speechless when he saw the group of people walking out of the inn.
After only a few days of separation, the group of kids got together again. At that time, the team disguised themselves and entered the city, pretending to be lonely.
He had a bad feeling. With their ability to cause trouble when they got together, Qingzhou City would be bustling within a week.
Xiaojiu: One week, who are you looking down on?
When Jingxin was taking her timid and shy sister back home, they ran into Jiang Huan and Zhou Shuchen, but it seemed that they were waiting for Jingxin and the other two.
"What's wrong?" Jingxin looked at them standing at the gate of his yard and was a little puzzled. Could it be that his acting skills were not good enough and his identity was exposed?
Jiang Huan stepped forward and said, "I was just about to send someone out to look for you. I'm glad you're back. Are you okay?"
"It's alright! What do you want to talk to me about?"
No way, no way, is his identity really exposed?
Jingxin felt very nervous.
"It's nothing serious. It's just that there are a lot more people from the martial arts world in the city recently, and today we at Mo Yu Villa have just offended the eldest prince and the second prince. Seeing that you haven't returned yet, we are worried that the two princes will take revenge on you." Zhou Shuchen explained.
Jiang Huan said with concern, "I'm glad you're all okay. The first and second princes are still holding on to what happened last time. If they run into anyone from Mo Yu Villa outside, they'd want to skin us alive."
There was a fierce murderous intent in her eyes.
"Now they are spreading rumors outside, saying that people from our Mo Yu Villa stole dozens of boxes of gold, silver and jewelry from them. They really think that our Mo Yu Villa is a soft persimmon that can be manipulated by anyone!"Chapter 464 A Little Wine with an Actor's Professional Ethics
Chapter 464 A Little Wine with an Actor's Professional Ethics
Zhou Shuchen's tone was full of contempt, "You are a prince, but you are imitating that villain's behavior. You think Qingzhou City has a rule that prohibits fighting. Anyway, no one can do anything to them, so you use rumors to seriously hurt our Mo Yu Villa."
After Zhou Shuchen vented his inner dissatisfaction, he looked down and saw the little boy staring at him very seriously with his eyes open, and there was also a bigger boy who was a little fatter.
Curiously asked: "Ah Hu, is this your friend? Didn't you go to pick up your sister?"
Jingxin quickly introduced: "This is my sister, and this little boy is the child of the family that adopted my sister before."
Jiang Huan and Zhou Shuchen looked at the two little boys, confused.
Seeing the two men staring at the village chief, Jingxin was startled. Oh no, she forgot that the village chief is now a woman dressed as a man.
"Well, my sister has gender identity disorder and has always thought she is a boy, so in order to make her happy, we always let her..." Jingxin looked uncomfortable and didn't want to say more.
Jiang Huan and Zhou Shuchen nodded in understanding, "We understand, poor child."
When he saw Jingxin's sister who had gender identity disorder and heard Jingxin say the word "sister", his face looked unhappy.
Jiang Huan quickly added in a low voice, "Don't worry, we won't say she's a girl in front of your sister anymore."
Jingxin, who had told a lie that needed countless lies to cover it up, could only nod gratefully.
Jiang Huan squatted down and greeted Xiao Jiu, "Hello, what's your name?"
Xiaojiu, who has the professional ethics of an actor, tries hard to play the role of a timid and shy person.
When Jiang Huan squatted down and asked her name, Xiaojiu patted Jiang Huan's shoulder silently and fearfully, then ran into the house with a shy look on her face.
Jingxin watched as the silent village chief patted Jiang Huan's shoulder like a serious elder, then ran into the yard with his hands behind his back and a blank look on his face.
I didn't expect the village chief to do this to me. It was like a bolt from the blue.
Aaaaaahhh!!!
Silence the inner roar.
no?
I asked you to play the role of a timid and cowardly person, not to play Jiang Huan's father!
Jing Xin looked at Jiang Huan with embarrassment, "I'm sorry, my sister...she's quite timid and shy."
Jiang Huan looked at Jing Xin with a face full of question marks. For the first time, she had a new understanding of the word "timid and cowardly". At that moment, she almost thought she saw her father.
And Xiaojiu in the house was currently savoring his own superb acting skills.
She suddenly realized that although she couldn't be said to be very good at acting, she was definitely gifted.
Jingxin, who was outside trying to find a crack in the ground to crawl into, quickly found an excuse to pull Shian and the others into the house.
As soon as I entered, I saw the village chief still immersed in his acting.
Jing Xin squeezed out a sentence from between her teeth, "I asked you to act timid and shy, not expressionless!"
Xiaojiu clenched his fist and immediately began to shake the flesh on his face, "Who are you calling a paralyzed face?"
Look at the rich expressions on her face. She portrayed the word "timid and vivid" so vividly. She almost won an Oscar.
I looked around calmly and wanted to give an example, but I found that none of the kids around me were timid. I should never have introduced them like that.
"Then why did you pat someone on the shoulder just now?"
Xiaojiu, who has her own understanding of her role, said, "She greeted me, so I had to respond to her as a courtesy. But I couldn't say anything, so I could only pat her on the shoulder."
Jingxin was puzzled, "Didn't I tell you not to speak? You are timid and afraid of strangers, but you are not dumb!"
Xiaojiu: Oh, I misunderstood. I thought you were timid and couldn't speak.
She raised her chin towards Jingxin and said, "Next time, explain yourself more clearly!"
Jingxin was furious and said angrily: "Did I not make a word clear?"
Xiaojiu, who originally thought that she had misunderstood, suddenly felt that she had done nothing wrong when she saw Jingxin's attitude of wanting to fight.
Xiaojiu, who could not afford to lose, immediately put his hands on his hips, raised his head, glared, and shouted angrily, "You didn't say a single word clearly, and don't question my acting skills!"
"Are you sure your acting is good? Why don't you ask Adou and the others how your acting was just now!" Jingxin also put her hands on her hips, lowered her head and glared, and yelled back.
A Dou and the other two who were watching the show nearby did not expect that the war would spread to them.
The three of them blurted out without thinking: "The village chief acted very well, the best in the world!"
After hearing this, Xiaojiu raised his head even higher.
That cocky look made Jingxin so angry that she jumped onto the bed, covered herself with the quilt and fell asleep. She was so angry that she couldn't eat dinner.
My body hadn't fully recovered yet, and now I was so angry that I almost died.
At this moment, at Mo Yu Villa, everyone in the martial arts training ground was furious after hearing the rumors in the city in the past few days.
"It's obvious that the two princes are crying thief. Ah Hu and the others are right. Maybe the dozen or so boxes they brought when they came were originally empty boxes. They suffered a setback at the city gate that day, and now they have begun to spread rumors behind our backs, trying to throw dirty water on our Mo Yu Villa." Xie Qing stood aside with his arms folded across his chest and cursed indignantly.
Seeing Niu Che acting as if nothing had happened, he was furious. "Move, move, move! Brother, you only know how to move this broken stone. People have bullied us. Can you clear our name by moving this stone all day long?"
Niu Che slowly put down the stone, wiped the sweat off his clothes with his rough palm, and said, "Spit can't kill you, only fists can speak. Instead of wasting time getting angry, you might as well work hard to improve your martial arts."
"The owner of the manor often says that rumors are like the wind and Kung Fu is like the mountain. No matter how strong the wind is, it cannot blow down the foundation."
As he spoke, he continued to squat down, exerting sudden force to move stones to practice his arm strength.
"Wait... wait until the day when the real battle is fought in the ring, I... I want to see how long those two princes can be so arrogant."
Xie Qing heard this and was furious. "After all, Second Senior Brother still told us to be patient. What about blowing the foundation down? I don't like to hear that. Be patient! If someone bullies us, we can't fight back. What's the point of practicing martial arts well?"
"That's right. Today in the teahouse, the Second Prince's guards deliberately spilled tea on my clothes, and said that thieves' clothes deserved to be clean! They just saw that there was a fighting ban during this period, and we didn't dare to fight with them, so they deliberately provoked us." Another young disciple kicked over the bucket next to him in anger.
"When has our Mo Yu Villa ever suffered such humiliation?"
A group of young men were talking to each other, all of them were fed up with the behavior of the two princes.Chapter 465 Master, Please Accept Your Disciple's Knees
Chapter 465 Master, Please Accept Your Disciple's Knees
People in the underworld always fight head-on. If anything happens, they just fight and it's over.
It was the first time they had seen such shameless and disgusting behavior. It was really disgusting.
Someone shouted, "Why don't we fight them!"
A dozen young men full of vigor and vitality responded loudly, picked up their weapons and prepared to go out.
"Stop right there!" Niu Che threw down the stone in his hand, "The guards of Qingzhou City are patrolling nearby. Whoever dares to step out of the villa--" He looked around at everyone with fiery eyes.
"Have you forgotten that at the last martial arts conference, your fifth senior brother was stripped of his martial arts and expelled from the villa because he violated the ban on fighting?"
"Do you want to waste your life because of two villains?"
Niu Che's questions were like a pour of cold water over their heads, freezing the group of disciples holding their weapons in place.
This was the stalemate scene that Adou and Shian saw when they brought the village chief to the martial arts field to show off.
"Is there something going on?" Adou muttered softly.
"Did we come at the wrong time?" Shi An also felt that the atmosphere was not right. It looked like a group fight was about to break out.
Although they are looking forward to it.
Xiaojiu, who couldn't bear the awkward atmosphere, saw Niu Che trying hard to lift a stone but failing. She walked over very enthusiastically, and lifted up the huge stone with her little hand.
Asked: "Where to put it?"
Niu Che was stunned on the spot, his hands still in the same position as he was lifting the stone.
Not only him, but everyone in the martial arts training ground was stunned when they saw this scene, and they all put down their weapons.
She looked at the little boy as if he was looking at some strange creature, and then opened and closed her eyes.
It was not an illusion or a hallucination. Someone really lifted up the huge stone that no one could move.
"Where?" Xiaojiu thought the man didn't hear her, so she asked again.
Niu Che pointed blankly at an empty space nearby and stammered, "Put it...put it here."
Upon hearing this, the enthusiastic Xiaojiu put the stone down very easily.
If Niu Che had not just used all his strength to try to move the stone, the way the little boy lifted it so easily would have almost made him think that the stone was made of paper.
Niu Che swallowed and asked, "How...how did you lift this stone?"
Xiaojiu tilted his head and said calmly, "Just raise your hand and it will rise."
She didn't understand why Niu Che asked this. This stone was not even as big as the stone in the princess's mansion. It was as easy to move as carrying a bowl. She didn't know what he was so surprised about.
Xie Qing pushed through the crowd and rushed to Xiaojiu, looking at her as if she were a rare animal. "This... this is impossible. You... you are not even as tall as my thigh, how could you possibly move such a big stone? Impossible, impossible!"
Xie Qing had tried this before, but unfortunately the stone didn't move at all.
The only ones who could move the stone a few points or lift it a few inches were the eldest and second brothers.
Now, a little boy of five or six years old lifted the huge rock as easily as lifting a basin of water.
This is simply appalling.
Xie Qing didn't believe it, so he walked to the stone himself and tried again.
He tried his best, his face turned red and veins on his neck bulged, but unfortunately the stone didn't move at all.
Other disciples also stepped forward and tried the stone again, but the result was the same: it did not move at all.
At this moment, no one in the martial arts training ground remembered who the eldest prince and the second prince were. They all surrounded Xiaojiu and asked him questions.
I didn't expect that I could get so much praise just for helping to lift a stone. I was so happy that I was doing somersaults in my heart. It turned out that the people in Mo Yu Villa were really like A Dou and Shi An said, they really like to praise children.
Xiaojiu's cheeks flushed under the admiration of everyone, and she couldn't suppress the wild power in her body at all.
With a wave of his hand, he was ready to show everyone his unique skills.
Xiaojiu picked up the arrow that fell at Xie Qing's feet and threw it casually at the bull's eye in the field.
Everyone just felt something flash past in front of their eyes, and then they watched the ordinary arrow used for training shoot towards the center of the bull's eye a hundred steps away with a sharp sound, and without stopping, it went straight through the thick wooden target and shot a hole as big as a bowl in the courtyard wall three meters away, followed by yellow earth falling down.
The entire training ground fell into deathly silence, and hundreds of eyes were fixed on the little boy whose teeth had not yet grown.
The first person to make a sound was Xie Qing, who knelt down on the spot.
"Master, please accept me as your disciple! As long as I can learn the basics, I am willing to serve you and go through fire and water!" There was a fanaticism close to piety in Xie Qing's eyes.
Xie Qing's act of becoming a disciple instantly caused a huge stir, and many disciples in the martial arts training ground knelt down and kowtowed.
"Master, please accept me as your disciple!"
These martial artists don't think there is anything wrong with taking a child as their teacher. In the martial arts world, as long as your martial arts skills are high enough and your strength is strong enough, there will be many people who will follow you and respect you.
If we can learn even a little bit from the two skills that the little boy just demonstrated, our strength will be improved by more than just a little bit.
Just look at the attitudes of the two martial arts prodigies, Aniu and Arong, towards the little boy. It is obvious that they respect the little boy.
Thinking of this, everyone became even more enthusiastic.
When Xiaojiu heard that so many people wanted to take him as their disciple, he was so scared that he took several steps back.
"No, no, I don't accept disciples!"
It is said that once a teacher, always a father. Thinking of having so many cubs in the future, she took a few steps back in fear.
Thinking of what the little brat said about eating his father out of his house, Xiaojiu took a few steps back. This time, she stepped out of the martial arts training ground with one foot.
Seeing such a powerful master for the first time, Xie Qing, an activist, immediately rushed over and hugged Xiaojiu's legs.
"Master, I will really study hard and will definitely not let you down! I beg you to accept me as your disciple!"
Xiaojiu's head shook like a rattle.
"No, I don't have money and can't afford it!"
Hearing this, Xie Qing quickly expressed his opinion, "Master, I don't need you to support me. I have money, and I will make money to honor you in the future!"
Xiaojiu's eyes lit up when he heard that, "You really don't need me to support you?"
Before Xie Qing could say anything, other disciples who had chased over from the side responded, "Master, we will all make money to support your family in the future!"
"Yes, yes, yes, we don't need a master to support us, we all know how to support a master!"
"I'll think about it!" Xiaojiu moved forward, put his hands behind his back and returned to the training ground.
Seeing hope, the others became more diligent.
Some were pinching shoulders, some were fanning, and some were even performing talents. It was simply a large-scale scene of competing for favor.Chapter 466: Xiaojiu who doesn't want to accept a disciple
Chapter 466: Xiaojiu who doesn't want to accept a disciple
Adou and his companions, who were squeezed by the disciples of Mo Yu Villa to a distance of dozens of meters from the village chief, immediately became alarmed.
This is to compete with them for favor.
The three of them instantly shared the same goal, and taking advantage of the small size of the people, they squeezed through the gap and got next to the village chief.
"No, village chief, they are indecisive. They obviously have a master, so don't accept them as disciples!"
Adou and Shian have been staying in Moyu Villa for so many days and they know that there are many martial arts masters here, and these people all have teachers.
Xie Qing quickly explained, "Master, this is different. Those are the masters of the villa. We only have you as our master."
The others quickly echoed, "Yes, yes, yes, if Master minds, I will call the Master over now to explain clearly. We are not indecisive."
Adou and Shian were furious. What was going on? How could these people be so shameless as to snatch the position of village chief from them?
Ah Dou stretched out his hands, blocking the village chief, and angrily said to Xie Qing and his group, "No, being a master is too tiring, it will tire our boss!"
The village chief already has enough younger brothers around him. If there are so many more, the village chief won't even remember who he is!
Not to mention being someone else's master. Once a teacher, always a father. If they become the sons of the village chief, wouldn't they be more favored than them? This is absolutely not acceptable!
Xie Qing waved his hands quickly, "We promise not to disturb Master, as long as Master comes over to give us guidance when he is free!"
Xiaojiu touched his chin. Once a teacher, always a father. This matter should be handled with caution. If you accept a disciple, you have to be responsible for him.
I love freedom and don't want to be responsible at all.
Xiaojiu, who couldn't make a decision, decided to go back and discuss it with Jingxin. After all, Jingxin had experience as an apprentice.
It would be more reliable to ask him about this matter.
Xiao Jiu waved his hand and replied, "Please allow me to go back and discuss this with my brother!"
Others still want to continue expressing their determination to become disciples.
Shi An quickly changed the subject and said, "Brother Xie, what were you doing just now? Were you going to have a group fight?"
As long as we can get past what just happened, no one will mention becoming a disciple again.
When everyone heard A Rong mention what happened just now, the atmosphere suddenly became tense, and as Shi An expected, their attention was quickly diverted.
Xie Qing, who had long been unable to hold back, told everything that had just happened.
Maybe because Second Senior Brother was watching them and not letting them go out, they felt aggrieved and said to the kids, "If Second Senior Brother hadn't stopped us, we would have gone out and beaten them up a long time ago!"
The other disciples also echoed.
"That's right. When has our Mo Yu Villa ever suffered such humiliation?"
"Now when we walk outside, people look at us with strange eyes. It feels so uncomfortable. I haven't left the villa for many days. Are we going to bear this stigma for the rest of our lives?"
"I don't care about the innocent. When the martial arts conference is over and the ban on fighting is lifted, I will be the first one to take up my sword and seek revenge!"
"Take me with you, and then we'll beat up those who threw dirty water at our Mo Yu Villa!"
After hearing this, the children were a little confused, "Why not take revenge on the spot?"
By the time the martial arts conference was over, the flowers were already cold.
Xie Qing said indignantly: "Isn't this a ban on fighting? If it weren't for this, we would have avenged our grudges right on the spot, and we wouldn't have let those villains throw dirty water at us at will."
Xiao Jiu was puzzled, "Why do we have to fight to get revenge? They threw dirty water at you, why don't you throw it back?"
One disciple said with disdain: "Those who do small things behind the scenes are villains. We in Moyu Villa are upright and honest, and we always seek revenge in an open and aboveboard manner."
"You two are so stupid!" Adou and Shian said in unison.
"What did you say?" Some disciples became unhappy when they heard the two children, Aniu and Arong, scolding them.
You can say anything about them, but you can't say they are stupid.
Xie Qing raised his hand to stop them from speaking, and asked Shi An and A Dou curiously, "Why do you say that?"
He didn't know what was going on. Maybe it was because his master was very good at martial arts, and the kids around him were also very capable. Although martial arts skills didn't mean high IQ, he just felt from the bottom of his heart that his master must be smarter than them.
Perhaps this is why those who practice martial arts have an inexplicable faith in the strong.
Xiaojiu, the instigator who caused dozens of boxes of property of the two princes to disappear, was very puzzled and said, "Why is it considered a mean behavior if you throw dirty water back when someone throws it at you?"
In Xiaojiu's understanding, the only thing that matters is whether or not you can take revenge. Who cares about whether someone is a villain or not?
It was also the first time that Adou heard that taking revenge in the same way was a mean act. But before, they had always taken revenge double the amount. What kind of behavior was that?
"Since it's all about revenge, why bother distinguishing between villains and non-villains?"
"That's right, there are only two ways to take revenge. If you can, then do it to your death. If you can't, then find another way!" Shi An put his hands on his hips, and the flesh on his face trembled with anger.
You are such a coward, yet you still want to be my sister's apprentice. What are you thinking?
The Fourth Prince was even more so. As long as his sister said it, it must be correct. He would follow his sister in everything. "If someone throws dirty water at you, you should not only throw it back, but also throw it back twice as much."
Xie Qing fell into deep thought. To be honest, what these kids said was completely different from their previous belief that revenge should be done in an upright manner and that such petty behavior was despised by the people in the underworld.
Although he was very tempted, Xie Qing still couldn't get over it. "Then if we do the same thing as those two princes, won't we be the same as them?"
"How can it be the same? Revenge must be paid double. What kind of revenge is it if you pay the same back? That's cowardly." Xiaojiu didn't care at all about whether the person was a villain or not. She only cared about whether the revenge could be taken, when and how to take it.
Xiaojiu looked at their eyes, which were as clear as those of her second brother, and thought of what her father had said, that her second brother was so stupid because the eldest prince pushed him into the water when he was a child, causing water to enter his head.
It seems that the second brother is not the only one with water in his brain. These people may have accidentally fallen into the water when they were young. Thinking of this, Xiaojiu couldn't help but feel a little sympathy in his heart. He didn't want to accept these people as apprentices anymore. It would be so tiring for the second brother to raise a bunch of idiots.
Although she was the one who took the dozens of boxes of gold, silver and treasures of the two princes, and the people of Mo Yu Villa were blamed innocently, Xiaojiu felt a little guilty, but she still didn't want to accept a bunch of idiots as her apprentices.
However, as compensation for making them take the blame innocently, Xiaojiu thought it would be helpful to explain to them the basic theories of revenge.
She climbed onto a large rock and began to teach the traditional aesthetics of their Biao Group to this group of disciples for free.
"Do you know what is the most important thing in the underworld?"Chapter 467 The most important thing in life is to be happy
Chapter 467 The most important thing in life is to be happy
Xie Qing blurted out, "Loyalty!"
Xiaojiu shook his head.
"force?"
Xiaojiu continued to shake his head.
"What is that?"
Xiaojiu raised his chin, "Aniu, go ahead!"
Adou cleared his throat and said loudly: "Of course I am happy!"
"Happy?" Everyone had a puzzled look in their heads. What did this have to do with being in the underworld?
"Yeah, if anyone makes you unhappy, then just attack him. Otherwise, why are you hanging around in the underworld? You might as well build city walls instead of being such a coward!" Shi An explained.
"That's right!" The fourth prince patted his belly, "If anyone makes me unhappy, I will starve him three times a day, and nine times in three days!"
It was the first time that everyone heard the saying that the most important thing in life is to have fun. It was truly eye-opening, but when they thought about it carefully, it seemed to be true.
If you are unhappy and have to endure it, then what is the point of staying in the world?
Xie Qing simply sat on the ground, next to the stone where Xiaojiu was standing, and asked humbly: "But the owner of the manor doesn't allow us to fight privately during this period. If we wait until the martial arts conference is over, the two princes will have returned to the capital long ago. We can't chase them to the palace for revenge, right?"
When Xiaojiu heard this, his brows almost knotted into a knot, and he became even more certain in his heart that he could not accept these stupid people like his second brother as his apprentices.
"There are thousands of ways to take revenge, why can you only think of fighting?"
"They throw dirty water, so we throw shit water!"
"How to pour it?" Everyone gradually accepted what the master said, that the most important thing in the world is to have fun.
They have just asked themselves seriously. As long as they can get revenge, no matter what the method is, as long as they can vent their anger, they will be happy.
So, all the talk of whether they are mean or not is bullshit. What they are doing is the basic ethics of being in the underworld.
Xiaojiu waved his hand, and everyone's ears immediately pricked up and moved forward to listen carefully to what was to be said next.
Xiaojiu dug around in his own melon field and shared some representative ones with them.
"Let's follow this direction and do a good job of promoting the two princes. I guarantee that they will become the two most dazzling children in the entire Qingzhou City tomorrow."
Everyone's eyes lit up instantly and they all gave Xiaojiu a thumbs up.
Not only that, they also supplemented and polished the stories told by their master to make the stories more complete.
Everyone was rubbing their hands in anticipation and couldn't wait to go out and promote the two princes.
Xie Qing looked at Niu Che who was silent at the side, fearing that his senior brother would stop them again, and said quickly: "Let me make it clear in advance that we are not violating the rules to go out and fight this time. We are just talking. The owner of the manor didn't say that we can't talk outside, right?"
Niu Che pretended not to see or hear their idea. As long as they didn't fight, he had no objection to anything they did and was even looking forward to it.
Seeing that the senior brother didn't stop them, everyone became more active.
Just after finishing the last bite of dinner, Xie Qing and his men immediately sneaked out of the villa in several groups, disguising themselves as if a hornet's nest had been blown up.
Some of them sneaked into the bustling night market, while others hid in the corners of the tavern and started gossiping whenever they caught anyone. Everyone added their own understanding to the story of the wine, and exaggerated the scandals of the two princes, such as not taking baths and liking to squat in the toilet to smell the freshest feces. In short, the more outrageous the story, the more they said it.
This explosive gossip spread from one person to ten people and from ten to a hundred people, faster than it could fly with wings.
After a night of fermentation, when the sun came out the next day, Qingzhou City was in an uproar.
People buying vegetables on the street, people carrying loads on their shoulders, people drinking tea in the teahouse, and people eating melon seeds were all talking about the gossip they heard last night. Everyone had dark circles under their eyes. It was obvious that these people who heard the gossip had been chirping at the two princes until very late last night, and might even have stayed up all night.
Even the little kids who were playing in the mud on the side of the road couldn't help but fart and looked around fearfully, fearing that the eldest prince who loved to smell other people's fresh farts would pop up from somewhere and ask the guards to bring him back and ask him to fart again so that their highness could smell it to his heart's content.
It was so scary that the little kid got more and more scared the more he thought about it. He ran home as fast as he could, shouting in fear as he ran: "Woo woo woo~ Don't catch me, my farts don't smell good, not at all."
As soon as the little brat's shout came out, it was like poking a hornet's nest. Everyone who heard the shout was now more certain that the eldest prince loved to smell farts and the second prince liked to visit toilets.
And the two princes have one thing in common, that is, they like new things.
"It's so scary. I won't dare go to the toilet alone anymore."
"That's right. Now I don't even dare to fart."
"They say the richer and more powerful a person is, the weirder their habits are. It's true."
"Hiss! No wonder." A citizen slapped his thigh as if he had suddenly realized something.
"What's wrong? What's wrong? What did you find? Tell me quickly?" Four question marks in a row, it can be seen how persistent and anxious the people are about eating melons.
The woman who slapped her thigh angrily said, "Since those two came, my toilet has been much cleaner. I don't have enough compost recently. Do you think it's possible that those two took a fancy to my toilet and asked the guards to steal my compost back for their own enjoyment?"
"Ugh~" Upon hearing this, the people who were eating breakfast almost vomited the food in their mouths.
"Stop talking, stop talking, it's too disgusting. Just consider this as your own bad luck. Who can blame him for being of noble status? We have to install a door in the toilet in the future, and add more locks!"
"Ah~ I have lived for most of my life, and who would have thought that these days I still have to be on guard against people coming to the toilet to steal things!"
"That's right. No wonder we are just ordinary people. We really can't afford the habits of powerful people."
Xiaojiu, who came out early in the morning to verify the results of Xie Qing's story promotion, was dumbfounded. He couldn't even eat a bite of breakfast.
She looked at Adou and the others with a puzzled look, "Is this the story I told you yesterday?"
Adou and the others all shook their heads. They were also shocked. They didn't expect that Xie Qing and his people could embellish the story told by the village chief so outrageously.
Xiaojiu pushed his breakfast aside, having no appetite at all. "I clearly said that the first prince is a playboy, looking for novelty, and likes every girl he sees. And the second prince is particularly stingy, and likes to steal other people's leftovers the most."
Who could have thought that after Xie Qing's polishing last night it would become so outrageous.
"Village chief, where did you hear all this?" Adou was really curious. He followed the village chief every day, so how come he had never heard of these gossips?
"I heard it when I was a kid and followed Grandma Xu to the banyan tree at the entrance of the village to enjoy the cool air."Chapter 468: The Outrageousness of the Rumors
Chapter 468: The Outrageousness of the Rumors
Xiao Jiu said proudly, "The gossip in my stomach right now can circle the earth if put together."
When she lived with Grandma Xu, she had endless melons to eat every day. Now with Cuihua, there are even more melons. As long as she wants to eat, Cuihua can tell her about it until eighty years later.
Adou and his friends looked at the village chief with envy, wishing they could get into her little belly and eat all the melons.
A few children listened to the gossip that the people were spreading, which became more and more outrageous.
The situation has now escalated to the point where people have to stay at home and take strict precautions, fearing that things in their toilets will be stolen.
You have to cover your butt when you go out, for fear that your fart will be noticed by the eldest prince's men and then caught by his guards to let them fart as much as they want.
Xiaojiu couldn't even think of eating now. Just by sitting here, she could smell the stench coming from the eldest prince and the second prince.
When Xie Qing and his companions, with dark circles under their eyes, came to the place with the most people to inspect the results of last night's publicity, what they saw was Xiaojiu and his group, who were covering their noses and wrinkling their faces.
Xie Qing stepped forward excitedly, looking for praise, and asked, "Master, how is the effect?"
Xiaojiu looked at him indescribably, but finally gave him a thumbs up, "Talent!"
Xie Qing and his group, who were praised, felt a sense of accomplishment and immediately asked the store owner to serve them a bowl of breakfast. They wanted to eat while listening to the story they had made up last night.
Xiaojiu and his friends were even more impressed by the fact that they could still eat even though they made up such a disgusting story.
"You guys are awesome!"
The disciples of Mo Yu Villa are indeed not ordinary people.
Xie Qing and his group didn't know how the story would spread, so they put down their chopsticks as they listened. They suddenly felt nauseous and couldn't swallow the food in their mouths.
"No, this..." Xie Qing quickly looked at the others, "Is this how we spread it?"
The others covered their faces in embarrassment. "We just polished the story a little bit. We don't know how it ended up being spread like this."
No wonder those kids just now looked at them as if they were some rare animals. It turned out that their eyes were not full of praise, but shock. They were shocked that they were the kind of people who could come up with such a disgusting story.
Xie Qing and his friends now wanted to dig a hole and bury themselves.
They are really not such disgusting people, I just don't know why after everyone's performance, it has become so outrageous now.
Not only that, the people actually believed such an outrageous story, and they described it with details and facts. Some people even said that they saw the two princes do this with their own eyes.
Xiaojiu and the others gave them a thumbs up again, "You are the gods in charge of rumors!"
The people at the table lowered their heads even lower.
Xie Qing murmured, "Master, didn't you say that when others throw dirty water at us, we throw feces at them?"
It's a bit disgusting, but that's what it means.
Xiaojiu quickly pinched her nose and said, "I didn't ask you to spread this!"
She is a civilized person!
Just when Xie Qing was still trying to explain that they were not usually like this, the two princes came with their guards like a dark cloud. Wherever they went, the people covered their noses and buttocks to avoid them.
The two princes' faces turned even darker when they saw this scene, and they looked at Xie Qing and his group with murderous eyes.
With a wave of his hand, the guards immediately stepped forward and surrounded Xie Qing and his group.
The eldest prince thought about the scandal he had heard this morning, and along the way, everyone saw him covering his butt with a look of horror.
His face was gloomy, his eyes widened with anger, "You Mo Yu Villa are so bold that you dare to maliciously frame me! Do you really think the majesty of the royal family is just a decoration!"
The second prince was also so angry that his veins popped out. "Brother, what are you waiting for? If I don't teach these ignorant people a lesson today, they will think that I am easy to bully!"
Xie Qing and a few others also stood up instantly. Although they were not good at quarreling, they were good at fighting. The atmosphere was getting to this point, it would be unreasonable not to fight. The ban on fighting had long been forgotten.
Just when the atmosphere was tense, as if a fight was about to break out in the next second.
A Dou held his forehead, secretly kicked Xie Qing, and signaled them to sit down.
He was really afraid that Xie Qing and his idiots would say, "We did it. If you want to fight, then come on!"
They would never do such a thing as hurting the enemy by 800 and hurting themselves by 1,000.
Xie Qing and his group sat down with unwilling looks on their faces, looking at Adou with confusion in their eyes.
Isn't it said that the most important thing in life is to have fun? Why are they scared now that others are looking for them to fight?
Even the Fourth Prince, who only knew how to eat, couldn't help but speak up. He looked in the direction of the two princes and asked, "Who framed you? Do you have any evidence? If you don't have evidence, you're just being a hooligan!"
The eldest prince snorted coldly, "Apart from the people from Mo Yu Villa, who else would do this?"
"Why should we frame you?" Adou asked back.
The second prince blurted out without thinking, "You just want to take revenge on us for sending someone to report your Mo Yu Villa..."
Before he could finish his words, he was stopped by the eldest prince.
The eldest prince's eyes passed over the children and were fixed on Xie Qing's face. He knew this man. The last time the guards reported, he was impulsive. Starting with him, he would quickly arouse the anger of the people in Mo Yu Villa and provoke them to fight, thus having their martial arts skills abolished and expelled from Qingzhou City.
"Don't be so eloquent. A few days ago, dozens of boxes of gold and silver treasures we brought disappeared from the inn. Apart from you from Mo Yu Villa, who else has such skills? Now that stealing is not enough, you even dare to maliciously frame the prince. Do you, Mo Yu Villa, want to be the enemy of the court?"
Xie Qing and the others now realized that the two princes just wanted to provoke the people in Mo Yu Villa to take action.
Xie Qing grinned at the two princes. "You two princes have come from afar. Although I don't know why you insist on accusing our people from Mo Yu Villa of stealing your money, we are generous people in the martial arts world and will not bother with you. But you have framed us without any evidence. You two princes really don't take our Mo Yu Villa seriously."
Seeing this, the others were also filled with righteous indignation and said, "Your Highnesses keep saying that the people from Mo Yu Villa are framing you. Please show us the evidence!"
"That's right. You surrounded us with guards. Are you trying to stir up a fight between the court and the underworld?"
The two princes who did not find any evidence were extremely angry. They did not expect that the disciples of Mo Yu Villa were a group of impulsive and reckless men yesterday, but turned into a group of shameless bullies today.
I saw everyone around them covering their noses and looking at them.
The Second Prince pointed at Xie Qing and his group angrily, "Do you really think we don't have evidence?"
When Xie Qing and the others heard this, they were startled.Chapter 469 Then You Can Report Us to the Police and Arrest Us
Chapter 469 Then You Can Report Us to the Police and Arrest Us
Several people looked at each other and thought, no way, could it be that they left some evidence last night and someone discovered it?
Xie Qing calmed himself down and said suspiciously, "Oh, then why don't you show me the evidence!"
The second prince originally wanted to deceive a few people, but he didn't expect that they were really guilty. It seems that they were right in doing this.
"The evidence will be revealed to you in due time!"
Xiaojiu, who was very familiar with this process, said nonchalantly: "Oh, if that's the case, just report us to the police and have us arrested!"
The two princes, who did not want to bring the matter to the government office, looked gloomy, "You...you really think I dare not!"
Xiaojiu spread his hands, even looking forward to it, "Then you can show me the evidence and let the county magistrate arrest me!"
It's not like he hasn't been to court before. Xiaojiu is more familiar with these departments in the imperial court than these two princes.
I was already angry enough today, and now I am being provoked again and again by a group of children.
The eldest prince looked at the guard beside him.
The guard understood what he meant and stepped forward to scold Xiaojiu who had just spoken, "You are looking for death. Do you know who is standing in front of you? This is the current eldest prince. How can a little brat like you offend him?"
Since he couldn't win the argument, he started to use his power to pressure others, which made Xie Qing and his group look down on him.
Before Xiaojiu could say anything, the Fourth Prince stood up angrily.
Damn, who isn't a prince?
"You're so great being a prince? If you're capable, you can be the emperor!"
The eldest prince is so great. His family also has a eldest prince, but he is buried in the ground now. What is there to be proud of!
The guard didn't expect someone to be so arrogant, "You're looking for death!"
Having said that, the sword was already drawn.
Seeing the other party successfully draw the sword, Xiaojiu and Adou looked at each other, stood up immediately, and ran to the place where the crowd was the largest. At the same time, they shouted loudly: "Help, someone is beating people, arresting children, I can't fart, don't arrest us back!"
"Help! Catch the kid, I can't fart..."
Xiaojiu and his companions shouted as they shuttled back and forth among the people.
When the people heard the children's cries, their bodies reacted faster than their brains. The surroundings, which were originally full of people, now all covered their buttocks and fled home frantically.
People with children were even more so. When they heard about the children being arrested, they were so afraid that their children would be taken away that they would pick up their crying children and crawl away to hide.
In just a moment, with the two princes as the center, there was no living thing within sight.
The guard who had just drawn the sword stood there stupidly, looking at the sword in his hand awkwardly. For a moment, he really thought that he was here to catch a child for His Highness and take him back to fart.
The furious eldest prince kicked the guard who had just drawn his sword and shouted angrily, "If the rumors don't disappear by tomorrow, bring your head to me!"
After saying that, I no longer had the face to stay here.
Originally, they went out today intending to push out the people from Mo Yu Villa and clear themselves of the outrageous rumors. Who could have thought that the shouting of those kids would completely confirm the rumors.
The second prince's fingers creaked, "Royal brother, they are just a few children, find an opportunity..."
He made a killing gesture, and the meaning was obvious: assassinating a person was as easy as drinking water for them.
We can only blame those kids for not knowing what's good for them. They could have provoked anyone else but them.
The eldest prince nodded and said, "Don't alarm the people in Moyu Villa!"
When the Second Prince saw that his brother agreed, he immediately whispered a few words to the guard beside him.
Soon several guards disappeared from the spot.
The second prince did not return to his own inn, but followed the eldest prince back to his residence.
The two of them sat down. After the eldest prince dismissed all the servants in the room, the second prince could no longer hold back, "Royal brother, do you think this is caused by the third sister's people? Today's incident is not like the style of Mo Yu Villa. And last time, it was clearly us who lost the property, but the third sister helped outsiders."
The eldest prince tapped his fingers on the table. "It seems that the third sister has teamed up with the people from Moyu Villa."
The second prince sneered, "Humph! The Sheng family keeps saying they are loyal to the royal family and to Northern Yan, but now that they heard that our father intends to let the winner of the two of us marry into Mo Yu Villa, Murong Xue can't wait to build a bridge to Mo Yu Villa before us!"
"It's a pity that even if my third sister gets into Mo Yu Villa, it doesn't matter. Mo Yu Villa will belong to my brother sooner or later!"
As early as when he came, the second prince knew that he was a backup choice. His father sent him to accompany his elder brother just in case. In case his elder brother's side was lost, he, the younger brother, could take over.
The third sister was still too arrogant and thought that only the people in their Sheng family were good at martial arts in the world. Little did she know that there are always people better than you.
When Murong Xue received the letter from her grandfather, which she had sent urgently over a distance of eight hundred miles, her face became terribly gloomy.
Uncle Sheng took the letter from Murong Xue and his expression became serious after reading it.
Murong Xue said solemnly, "We have always believed that our father was planning to choose one of the two brothers to be the crown prince. Otherwise, he would not have teamed up with the masters of the Hall of Eternal Life to assist the two brothers in participating in the martial arts conference, trying to win the championship and then control the power of the martial arts world."
"But now it seems that Father doesn't seem to care much about the forces in Moyu Villa and Qingzhou City!"
Uncle Sheng stroked the letter with his fingers, and a bad feeling gradually rose in his heart. "Your Highness, do you think His Majesty deliberately released this news in order to get you away from the capital?"
"Lure the tiger away from the mountain?" Murong Xue stood up suddenly. "Uncle Sheng, are you trying to say that the emperor's target is not Qingzhou City, but the capital?"
"No wonder our people have not found any traces of any masters from the Hall of Immortality around the eldest and second brothers after so many days of investigation. Now it seems that the emperor's decision to send the eldest and second brothers to participate in the martial arts conference was probably a trick!"
Uncle Sheng nodded with difficulty to show his agreement. "If His Majesty has no intention of letting your two brothers inherit the throne, then where exactly is he going with this game of chess?"
"No, Uncle Sheng, you have to return to Beijing quickly. The Sheng family might be in danger!" Murong Xue's eyes were full of anxiety and worry.
Uncle Sheng's expression quickly calmed down, and he slowly shook his head, "Your Highness, I absolutely cannot leave at this moment. If His Majesty really wants to attack the Sheng family, he will definitely not let you go since you are related to the Sheng family by blood."
He patted Murong Xue's shoulder and soothed her, "Besides, since the master was able to pass on this news, it means that he had already guessed the strangeness of it. With your grandfather's strategy, he would have made arrangements in advance and prepared a response plan. If we rashly return to the capital at this moment, it will alert the enemy and put the Sheng family in a more dangerous situation!"
Hearing this, Murong Xue calmed down and sat down again.
"Uncle Sheng, you are right. I am the one who is anxious about this matter!"
