The Prodigal Son's Happy Life - Chapter 176
[Chapter 176 Prairie Knight]
Now it seems to be very obvious.
Although An Pingbo was General Dingyuan, compared with the Minister of Rites and Prince Ning, his weight was still inferior.
Fang Xiu was so arrogant at the banquet at Prince Ning’s Mansion. Without His Majesty’s permission, how could the Minister of Rites and His Highness Prince Ning not have any reaction afterwards.
After being reminded by Wei Guogong, Liu Zi immediately understood the key. He gritted his teeth and lowered his head and said, “My grandson understands.”
It was already noon the next day when Fang Xiu and Zhao Yan left Chunfeng Tower.
Zhao Yan finally got her wish to eat Yuanxiao, and Fang Xiu also successfully received a 10% dividend after all the effort.
Today’s Gujing Street is already the most prosperous street in the south of the city. There is Chunfeng Tower, Zhuxuanzhai, and the Capital Grand Theater not far away.
The three most prosperous places in the capital are all on Gujing Street, and the prices of nearby houses have increased a lot.
Although the sun is shining brightly at noon, there are still many vendors selling various snacks along the street, mainly smoothies.
The smoothies for these people all come from Fang Mansion.
The sales volume of Chunfenglou Smoothie has always been high, but due to platform restrictions, it cannot meet the needs of most ordinary people.
Therefore, Fang Xiu opened an ice-making factory in the south of the city. All he had to do every day was to make ice constantly and sell it to vendors all over the capital at low prices.
Although you can’t make much money per share, you can win by making small profits but quick turnover.
Adding all the smoothies in the capital together, the daily turnover is at least one thousand taels, which is no less than Chunfeng Tower.
“After eating the Lantern Festival, what are your plans after that?”
Fang Xiu walked out of Chunfeng Tower, looked at Zhao Yan beside him, and asked.
Zhao Yan thought for a while and said, “Want to go shopping with me?”
Shopping with a woman is a very painful thing, let alone under the scorching sun.
Naihe had just persuaded Miss Zhao to give up one point of bonus, so he naturally wanted to accompany her to drink and drink with her. If she regretted it, she
was a little depressed because of the thousands of taels of silver, but she didn’t show any impatience on the surface. , nodded with a smile, and replied: “Okay, let’s walk around.”
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sudden noise not far away.
Fang Xiu and Zhao Yan both subconsciously looked up and saw dust flying at the end of Gujing Street, not far from the street entrance.
Then, there was a sound of war horses neighing.
Soon, several black-faced knights in strange clothes appeared at the end of the street, riding maroon horses and rampaging through the streets without scruples.
Seeing this, the vendors fled away one after another. In this case, they still couldn’t dodge, and they were whipped by the riding whip, making a wailing sound.
When the passers-by onlookers saw this scene, they yelled and cursed.
“These barbarians from the grassland have arrived in our capital city and are still so rampant. They really think that our army and people of Dachu are easy to bully!”
“Under the emperor’s feet, these barbarians still don’t know how to restrain themselves. Sooner or later, our cavalry of Dachu will have to ride on the grassland!”
These people just cursed to relieve the anger in their hearts.
After all, even the common people far away from the border have heard about the strength of the grassland tribes.
These guys, who grew up eating beef and mutton, drinking goat’s milk, and growing up on horses, were not good at anything except fighting. They were extremely strong.
Since the founding of the Chu State, except for the several times during the Taizu period when the grassland tribes were pushed back to the northern desert, Chu State has been passively beaten most of the time.
In some periods, marriages and compensation were even required to gain a few years of peace.
It is precisely for this reason that these prairie barbarians act so rampantly in the capital.
Fang Xiu listened to the discussion in his ears and realized that
these black-faced men in strange clothes were actually the knights of the grassland tribes. They were not much different from the images in various film and television works in previous lives.
Although Fang Xiu didn’t have a good impression of these people, he didn’t dislike them either.
Perhaps because he is from Earth, his sense of belonging to the Chu Kingdom is not as strong as that of the people in the capital.
Therefore, when seeing these foreign knights running rampant in the streets of the capital, other than feeling that these people are a bit arrogant and unfavorable to others, I don’t feel much anger.
Zhao Yan was different. As a princess of the Chu State, she became extremely angry when she saw these prairie barbarians coming to the capital of Chu State and being so rampant.
When these prairie barbarians were still relatively far away from Chunfeng Tower, Zhao Yan stood up, walked to the street, stopped in place, and quietly looked at the few people running wildly on horseback, without the slightest fear.
When everyone onlookers saw this scene, they all looked surprised and advised: “Girl, come back quickly. These prairie barbarians don’t care if there is anyone on the street. If they are hit, their lives will be lost.”
“Yes.” Yes, these prairie barbarians can’t be controlled by the Kyoto Prefecture’s police officers. Why would you, a little girl, have to wade through this muddy water?”
Zhao Yan didn’t seem to hear these words and stood motionless, watching the few prairie knights leave her. Getting closer.
Although Fang Xiu knew that she was surrounded by expert guards, he was still worried when he saw this scene.
I was thinking about whether I should put a rope across the front and stop these guys with their horses and men.
“Uu——”
Several grassland knights saw Zhao Yan from a distance, but they did not slow down at all. They did not tighten the horse rope until they were one or two hundred steps away from Zhao Yan.
It has to be said that these guys who grew up on horses have almost superb control over horses.
There were five people and five horses in total, and they stopped just five or six meters away from Zhao Yan.
The leader had two long scars on his rough face and looked very ferocious.
He looked at the pretty little girl in front of him with a rather interested expression, and said in unskilled Chinese: “Aren’t you afraid of death standing here?” When
Zhao Yan heard this, a look of disdain appeared on her handsome face. , said: “This is the capital of Dachu. As a citizen of Dachu, I have not violated any laws. Why should I be afraid of death?”
The leading man did not understand the meaning behind these words. After thinking about it, he still Deciding not to tangle with her here, she said: “Get out of the way, let’s go over!”
Zhao Yan looked at these people, with no intention of giving in, and said coldly: “It is forbidden to run wildly in the capital. You have violated Chu’s rules. “
According to the national law, you should go to Kyoto Prefecture to receive the punishment yourself!”
Although the leader’s Chinese is not good, he can understand the word “receive the punishment”.
His face became a little ugly, and he looked at Zhao Yan coldly with a pair of evil eyes, and said only one word: “Get out!” As soon as
these words came out, the people of the Chu State who were watching were in an uproar.
If it were in other places, that would be fine. In the capital, he was still so rampant and did not take the laws of Da Chu into consideration at all.
These guys are too arrogant!
