Chapter 23: What the Hell Is This
Chapter 23: What the Hell Is This
Everyone was stunned. Was Yang Fen drunk or crazy? He actually cursed the teacher of the Imperial College in public?
The prince of the Marquis of Yongyi, relying on the fact that he is the nephew of Concubine Yang Shu, has always been lawless.
Fighting and molesting girls are things he often does.
When I saw him blocking the road, I thought he was going to tease the girl again.
Who would have thought that he would start cursing at people for no apparent reason.
The servant beside him was stunned for a moment, then after he realized what was happening, he rushed forward and said anxiously.
"My Lord, why are you scolding the Master? Aren't we going to Baihua Tower? Let's go."
Zhou Chengtao was a highly respected teacher in the Imperial College, and he was very particular about rules. He had always disliked Yang Fen's arrogance and he would have known that the prince had scolded him in public.
Even though Yang Fen is the eldest son of Marquis Yongyi, he is afraid that he will not be able to get a good result.
Although Yang Fen drank a lot of wine, he was not drunk.
He was stunned when he said that just now. He wanted to tease the girl, why did he curse the teacher for no reason?
It’s over.
If his father knew that he insulted the teacher in public, he would definitely break his legs.
Yang Fen ignored the servant who was pulling him and angrily yelled, "Zhou Chengtao, you old fool. If you make me stand in front of you, I will break your dog legs."
As soon as he said this, Yang Fen stared at the girl in front of him in horror. What he wanted to say was, "Is it you, a witch, who did this?"
How come the words he said out loud turned into the words he usually used to curse the Master in his heart?
Is he seeing a ghost?
Yang Fen's servant did not notice anything unusual about him and thought he was drunk.
Listening to the discussions and condemnations of the people in Zuixianlou, they hurriedly tried to pull him out.
At this moment, a young man in a white robe walked down the stairs and said sarcastically, "Yang Fen, you usually rely on Concubine Shu to do whatever you want, but today you even dared to scold the highly respected Master Zhou. Do you really think no one can stop you?"
Yang Fen turned around and saw the person coming, his face suddenly darkened.
Zhao Mu was the son of Marquis Wu'an and his mortal enemy. If it were in the past, he would have ridiculed him back.
But he wasn't in the mood at the moment.
He had to find out what kind of magic the girl had used on him.
Yang Fen didn't want to pay attention to Zhao Mu, but his mouth was out of control.
"Zhao Mu, you bastard, it's none of your business to mind my business."
Feeling that his mouth was controlled by a ghost, Yang Fen was sweating profusely.
But the more anxious he became, the more he couldn't close his mouth.
"Zhao Mu, you bastard, you are neither as good-looking as me, nor as capable as me. You are not even worthy of carrying my shoes."
The Prince of Wu'an had always been at odds with Yang Fen, and when he was insulted in front of so many people, he became extremely furious.
He rushed over in three or two steps, raised his fist, and punched Yang Fen in the face.
Yang Fen couldn't control his mouth, he was already anxious and angry. Suddenly he was punched, and his anger rose sharply.
He had lost his mind and didn't care about the witch. He rushed over viciously and kicked Zhao Mu.
The servant of the Yongyi Marquis's mansion immediately became anxious and rushed forward to help regardless of anything.
On the other side, the servants of the Wu'an Marquis' Mansion also got furious when they saw their own prince being beaten.
Seven or eight servants rushed up and started punching and kicking him.
The situation suddenly became chaotic.
Xie Lan glanced at the center of the melee and saw that the son of Wu'an Hou had beaten Yang Fen black and blue in just a few moves. He walked up the stairs to the second floor, waving a feather fan with satisfaction.
In the lobby, there were many people talking about trying to stop the fight, but no one went over to break it up.
Almost everyone present knew the prince of Yongyi Marquis, and they had long been fed up with his usual arrogance and domineering behavior. However, they were all afraid of Concubine Yang Shu, so no one dared to deal with him.
Now seeing him being beaten by the son of Marquis Wu'an, everyone is very happy, so who would come forward to help?
Everyone present was busy watching the fun and no one paid attention to Xie Lan.
Even the staff of Zuixianlou were used to seeing people making trouble, and they were no longer surprised. They knew that if someone made trouble, the shopkeeper would handle it.
Seeing Xie Lan coming up, he hurried forward to greet him.
Xie Lan ignored the two sides of the fight and went into the private room, ordering two tables of food and wine. She brought her maids, old women, and a few drivers to enjoy the food with relish.
……
On the mountain road.
The rumbling sound of horse hooves came from far away. Xiao Jin took the lead and galloped with a group of guards.
Yang Feng and Zhao Chong were one horse length behind, following closely on the left and right.
The closer he got to the center of the canyon, the more uneasy Yang Feng became, and his whole body tensed up.
When his eyes fell to two or three feet ahead, Yang Feng was suddenly startled, "Young Master, be careful."
Seeing the tripwire that suddenly appeared, Zhao Chong and the guards behind him all changed their expressions.
They were moving at full speed, and at such a close distance, they had no time to brake their mounts.
However, Xiao Jin was not tripped by the tripwire as everyone expected. When he was half a foot away from the tripwire, the dagger in his hand had already flown out.
Cut the tripwire in one go.
The guards behind him just breathed a sigh of relief.
Suddenly, Xiao Jin turned his horse's head and waved his hand, "Be careful of falling rocks, retreat!"
Just as he finished speaking, thunder was suddenly heard on both sides of the canyon.
Although the incident happened suddenly, the guards around Xiao Jin were all well-trained.
At the command, everyone turned their horses around and immediately retreated back the way they came.
Just after running a few feet, countless large rocks rolled down from both sides of the canyon.
For a moment, sand and rocks flew everywhere, and the roar was like thunder.
At the same time, a large group of men in black suddenly appeared on both sides of the canyon.
Dense arrows fell from the sky.
Yang Feng brandished his knife and yelled, "Protect the young master!"
In the blink of an eye, the situation changed suddenly.
The clear sky darkened visibly to the naked eye.
The bone-chilling cold wind, accompanied by the smell of blood, filled the entire canyon.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."
One after another, arrows rang out, piercing through the cold wind and rushing towards us with the sound of breaking through the air.
Xiao Jin chopped down the black-clothed man opposite him with a sword, then blocked it with the sword in his hand. With a "ding" sound, the arrow fell to the ground.
He blocked the arrow in front of him, but the other arrow that followed had a strange angle and actually avoided the guard's sword.
It came straight to his chest.
Seeing the arrow penetrate Xiao Jin's chest, the guards around him were furious.
Unexpectedly, there was a loud "bang".
The arrow that pierced the clothes suddenly fell to the ground.
Xiao Jin lowered his eyes and looked at the small mirror exposed on his chest, his eyes were dark.
The Taoist nun's safety mirror actually saved his life.
Xie Lan's words suddenly came to mind, "Young Master, be careful of arrows, falling rocks, and tripwires along the way."
All three things came true. It seems that the Taoist nun really has some abilities.
Xiao Jin was in a trance for a moment, but was quickly brought back to his senses by the shouting and screaming around him.
After shooting their arrows, the men in black rushed down from both sides of the canyon with swords in hand.
Although there were many men in black, fortunately Xiao Jin was quick to warn everyone and no one was hit by the falling rocks. The guards around him were all highly skilled in martial arts and could fight ten people at once.
Soon most of the men in black were killed or wounded, and the rest retreated in a hurry.
Xiao Jin sent two guards to check and make sure there was no ambush before giving the order to rush across the canyon.
After a melee, it is inevitable to be tired.
Seeing water flowing in the distance, Xiao Jin ordered everyone to stop to rest and bandage their wounds.
Zhao Chong was thirsty and tired, so he strode to the river and dived into the water.
He was drinking happily when his ankle suddenly felt tight.
Before he could react, with a "plop" sound, he was dragged into the water by a strange force...
