Chapter 271 The Power of the Ninth Mountain (asking for monthly tickets)
"then!"
"Hey." The girl took the meat with a shy look on her face, "Thank you, Uncle Sangen."
"Hey, what are you thanking me for? When you two have a wedding, just invite me over to attend the wedding. I'll be happy." The rough man in the butcher shop laughed.
The girl named Xiu'er blushed instantly, but her eyes were clear and bright. She nodded seriously, "I will, uncle. I'm leaving now."
As she spoke, the young girl Xiu'er, carrying a basket, hurried towards Pingkou Lane.
Uncle Sangen from the butcher shop saw the girl's hurried figure, but he showed an auntie smile on his ferocious face covered with fat and greasy flesh.
so good!
This infatuated girl who almost committed suicide a few days ago finally waited for her brother to return from the battlefield!
As neighbors in Pingkou Lane, everyone was sincerely happy for this star-crossed couple.
On the other hand, the young girl Xiu'er walked quickly, feeling an urgency in her heart. She wanted to see her brother as soon as possible, cook for him and let him rest.
From time to time, neighbors on the roadside would see her and call out to her happily. Some were people she knew, while many were not.
"Shi'er."
"You're going to see your brother Zhi, right?"
"I heard that he came back from the battlefield injured. Take this and make soup for Zhige."
"Uncle Ya, you are so old, and you still make money from this, you should keep it and sell it."
"Just take it when I tell you to. I'm happy. Go ahead."
"Hey"
"."
There were also neighbors who were setting up stalls in the market. When they saw this, they stuffed their things into the girl's basket without saying a word.
Soon, as they walked along, the girl's basket was full.
The girl knew that this was the kindness of the neighbors towards the prince. There was so much of it that it made her feel warm inside, but she wanted to refuse as she didn’t want to waste the prince’s affection. However, these neighbors were too enthusiastic and she couldn’t persuade them.
She kept it in mind silently. As she walked, she was almost at the entrance of Pingkou Lane. Suddenly, an old lady who was also carrying a basket and buying vegetables came towards her. The old lady had triangular eyes, which gave people a sharp and mean impression. Her pair of eyeballs that were almost turning white made people feel that she was a bit vicious.
When the young girl Xiu'er saw the mother-in-law, she took the initiative to avoid her and walked away.
Because this mother-in-law is not a good person, she is a gossiper, loves to make trouble, and likes to take advantage of others. Many neighbors have a bad relationship with her family. She raised a son who is idle and does not work. He is 27 or 28 years old and has not found a wife. However, this mother-in-law thinks that her son is very capable and whoever can marry into their family is a good choice. When she goes to other people's houses to propose marriage, she dares to stand at the door of the family and curse when she is rejected. It is just heard that this mother-in-law has a cousin who is a minor official at the gate of the government, otherwise he would have been beaten to death long ago.
Her family had been harassed.
But when the mother-in-law saw the girl, she looked over with her pale eyes, and with a smile on her face as old as tree bark, she walked forward and spoke eagerly.
"Isn't this Xiu'er? Wow, you bought so many things."
"Go meet Zuo Zhi from the Zuo family."
"Your daughter has a pretty face, but you're rushing to deliver yourself to me. What are you doing?"
As she spoke, the mother-in-law came closer, her triangular eyes sparkling with brilliance, and whispered:
"Women should take care of themselves. I heard that the Zuo family kid came back from the army with nothing and a broken arm."
"To put it bluntly, this person is disabled, and he may not even be able to be a soldier. Besides, being a soldier and fighting against demons is very dangerous. You might even die. How are you going to live in the future? Hey, my daughter, I'm not saying anything too much, but you should think carefully. You said your family is also confused, like my son, now..."
The old woman hadn't finished her words when there was a "pop" sound.
The girl, who had always been gentle and virtuous, now had red eyes and slapped the old woman directly in the face.
"Why do you say that, Zhige?"
The other party was stunned, and then his white triangular pupils emitted an evil light, and he threw a tantrum in the street, cursing, "You are so uneducated, and you dare to hit me, why doesn't your man die on the battlefield, you bastard."
While cursing, his two hands scratched the girl's face like ghost claws.
How could the girl named Xiu'er be able to defeat this rude old woman? She dodged and was pushed to the ground.
The fruits and vegetables in the basket also fell to the ground.
But the old woman was still furious and wanted to get close to her to grab her. When the neighbors saw this, they immediately rushed forward, pulled the old woman away, and helped the girl up. They protected the girl in front of them and argued with the old woman with anger in their eyes.
"Old woman, what do you want to do?"
"You old thing, you have nothing to do, why are you bullying her?"
The old woman was still vicious, "This uneducated girl dared to hit me, it's unjust, you bastards, why don't you just die, you only know how to bully an old man like me."
As he said this, he started crying and shouting, and then sat down on the street in a rage.
The neighbors just wanted to fight for it.
But at this moment, a shout was heard.
"Get out of the way!"
Soon, the sound of horse hooves came through the streets, with warriors in black tights clearing the way and shouting loudly. When the people on the street saw these people, they screamed and quickly dispersed, for fear of blocking other people's way.
"It's someone from the Xia family."
In the eyes of ordinary people in the east of the city, the Xia family of Dongcheng is high and mighty, a behemoth that is more intimidating than the government office and should not be provoked.
The neighbors in Pingkou Lane were shocked and quickly pulled the girl back to the side of the road. The old woman, who was still throwing a tantrum, was frightened when she saw the commotion. She quickly rolled to the side of the road and climbed up nimbly.
I saw warriors riding horses to clear the way and passing by here quickly. The fruits and vegetables scattered on the road were crushed by the horses' hooves.
When the girl saw the kindness of her neighbors being crushed in this way, tears of heartache welled up in her eyes and she pretended to pick up the things that rolled to her.
At this time, a warrior from the Xia family saw this and raised his whip on a passing horse, his face showing a stern look.
"Go away!"
The girl looked up in panic.
Just as the whip was about to fall, a figure jumped down from the entrance of Pingkou Lane and landed in front of the girl with a "bang".
One hand grabbed the falling whip. Then, he pulled hard, and the Xia family warrior let out a low cry and was thrown off the horse. The horse under him seemed to be frightened, and its feet softened, and it fell to the ground with a neigh.
The noise startled the horses behind, who neighed loudly, raised their hooves, and stopped.
Then, there was a loud shout.
"How dare you stop my Xia family from setting up the sedan chair."
"You are seeking death."
The Xia family warriors all looked stern and looked at the figure that suddenly rushed out with unfriendly expressions.
I saw a figure standing in front of the girl. He was tall, had only one arm, and was wearing ordinary clothes, with the other sleeve empty.
"Brother Zhi."
When the girl saw the tall figure, her clear eyes were filled with worry and she called out anxiously.
The man with the broken arm threw the whip aside, turned around, gave the girl a reassuring look, and then said coldly:
"You rode your horses in the street and committed a crime. When you were stopped, you said that I was looking for death. Is this road your Xia family's?"
A man with eagle eyebrows and wearing a brocade robe walked out from the Xia family warriors. He had a noble aura, rode a big horse, looked superior, and had a sharp look in his eyes. If it weren't for the order from the second master yesterday that the Xia family should be more low-key recently, the other party would have dared to speak like this and would have become a dead man now.
His brows were gloomy.
"But you are only at the second level of Qi Refining. You are so brave. Who are you? You'd better explain clearly, otherwise..."
"He's just a soldier!" A voice rang out from the crowd, the voice was sharp and contained a hint of gloating.
There were too many people in the crowd to know who she was, but the residents of Pingkou Lane recognized her as the old hag and became furious.
"The Ninth Mountain Right Guard Army, Zuo Zhi!" the man with the broken arm spoke slowly.
This person was the small flag officer who was carrying the portrait of the girl in Guang'an City and was seen by Chen Yuan.
But when Zuo Zhi revealed his identity, the leading man's expression immediately changed, as if there was something stuck in his throat and he became uncomfortable. Damn it, it's the Ninth Mountain again.
This is the person that the Second Master has ordered his subordinates not to provoke.
It’s not that he is afraid of the soldiers from the Ninth Mountain, but he is afraid of provoking the one above.
At this moment, a bright female voice sounded at the right time.
"what happened?"
The leading warrior from the Xia family immediately rode his horse to the back, where there were several luxuriously decorated carriages accompanied by a large number of attendants.
The man came to the last carriage and leaned against the side window of the carriage.
"Second miss!"
Soon, a woman's voice came from inside, "Give this thing to the girl, it should be enough."
As soon as he finished speaking, something flew out. It was a jade hairpin with an extremely exquisite shape.
The warrior in brocade robes took it and said indignantly, "Second Miss, with your noble body, there is no need to do this."
However, the voice inside was calm and a little arrogant, "It's easy to see the King of Hell, but it's hard to deal with the little ghost. Don't make trouble. Go to the Yun family and don't delay the important business."
"Yes!"
Soon, the leading warrior rode forward and walked in front of Zuo Zhi. He did not dismount, but spoke directly with a cold expression: "My second young lady Renyi gave me this jade hairpin. It is worth a thousand gold coins. I give it to this young lady as compensation for the shock she has received."
As he said this, he waved his hand as if giving alms.
Afterwards, he ignored it and said to his men,
"Keep on going!"
Then, this person looked at Zuo Zhi coldly with disdain in his eyes, and then suddenly raised his hand and whipped the crowd with the whip in his hand.
With a scream, a mother-in-law was beaten to the ground. A bloody mark was left on her back. Her clothes were torn and the bones were visible. The mother-in-law was in so much pain that she screamed and cried for her parents.
"This old guy doesn't seem to have a good relationship with you. He is instigating the crowd. I will teach you a lesson. You're welcome."
Having said that, the Xia family warrior sneered, rode away on his horse, and continued on his way.
Zuo Zhi took the jade hairpin and watched everything indifferently. When the Xia family's team was marching, he swung the hairpin and sent it flying into the sedan chair behind.
"I appreciate Miss Xia's kindness, but I won't accept the gift. I, Zuo, can't afford it."
He does it all.
The young flag officer took the girl's hand, turned around and walked towards Pingkou Lane.
Soon, the excitement faded.
The neighbors in Pingkou Lane stared with wide eyes as they watched the Zuo family boy leave and the Xia family's majestic convoy go away.
They must have seen it right. The local emperor of the Xia family actually apologized to the boy from the Zuo family?
"That old woman seems to be in so much pain!"
Someone in the neighborhood exclaimed.
When others heard this, some of them spat and said, "It's good that he died. He really can't tell the difference between the occasion and the occasion. He dares to talk nonsense in this kind of situation. I said that this kind of person will be beaten to death sooner or later. He is so rude."
Some people sighed and said, "Say less. After all, death is the greatest thing. Please help clean up."
While these people were busy, at the entrance of the alley,
The sound of horse hooves was heard again.
I saw several soldiers in black armor riding horses.
The leader was an official wearing a bird-shaped civil servant robe, who asked politely.
"Excuse me, where is Zuo Zhi's home?"
Soon after, a loud noise was heard in the alley.
"The Right Route Guards of the Ninth Mountain, Zuo Zhi, listen to the order!"
"According to the order of the Ninth Mountain General, from today onwards..."
Many people said that yesterday's chapter was inexplicable. How could he have an affair with that princess of the Western Regions? And it was written in the chapter of the last night at Tianxiong Pass, but it was automatically modified and deleted by the review. Yesterday's chapter, I didn't write anything, but they still changed it for me, even the chapter name was changed.
