In the Southern Fire Empire, there is a place called Elegant Township by the nobles called Fenglin Xiaozhu. It got its name because maple trees are planted everywhere, but the real attraction here is not the elegantly decorated pavilions, but the residence.
There were a group of girls in their prime.
But if you think it is a place for fireworks, you are totally wrong, because the girls here know everything about music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. They can accompany you to eat, drink, enjoy flowers, and drink tea, but they will never do something like that.
Their high quality made all the literati, nobles and merchants of the Southern Fire Empire crazy about them.
But not everyone has the opportunity to come here for a drink. Not to mention that the high consumption here has discouraged many people from small families. It’s just that if you come here without any knowledge, then open your mouth and say a few words.
To put it bluntly, even if the girls here don't mind, the contemptuous looks from other guests are enough to make you feel ashamed.
However, there are no absolutes. There is a kind of person who doesn't care about other people's eyes at all. He thinks that if he has money, he can go anywhere. Even if he is criticized in person, he still dares to say with his nose in the air: "Do you care? I have a lot of money."
money."
They feel a little proud because their vulgar words attract whispers from others. This kind of people often make people feel like a fly has landed next to delicious food wherever they go. It's so disgusting that they have to rush back.
He couldn't be driven away, but Cheng Shaoming happened to be the best of this kind of people.
Every day he was idle and causing trouble everywhere. Almost as long as he was present, something would happen more or less, but few people could do anything to him. After all, his family was very wealthy and powerful, and he was followed by two warriors every day.
Saint-level masters are inseparable, and there have been some in the past
The children of some big families couldn't stand him and challenged him, but all of them were beaten by his two War Saint guards. The result was self-evident that the two families would confront each other, and eventually the royal family would be invited to mediate.
, calming down the matter and reaching an unresolved ending.
And this Fenglin Xiaozhu is precisely one of Cheng Shaoming's favorite places. In his words: "The women here look much more comfortable than in the brothel."
So Cheng Shaoming would sit here for an hour or two every day, ordering a few side dishes and a pot of wine. Then, while looking at the girl opposite him with his lustful eyes, he would utter filthy words from time to time.
Yan Go teased him, and every time he would scare the girl across from him away. As time went by, no one was willing to eat or drink with him anymore.
But Cheng Shaoming didn't care about this. He would still come here every day. As long as the girl he was eyeing was accompanying a guest of any noble status, he would come up and make a fool of himself without doing anything or cursing, just like a piece of dog-skin plaster.
Likewise, he won't stop until the guest leaves on his own initiative.
The backstage of such a high-standard Maplewood House is also a prominent and famous family in the Southern Fire Empire. Now that Cheng Shaoming stepped on his head and made such trouble, he immediately came to the Cheng family to argue, but the head of the Cheng family greeted him with a smile, offered gifts and apologized, making the family angry.
There was nowhere to send it, and later the Cheng family looked for it.
The royal family calmed down the matter, but Cheng Shaoming, who had been fine for the next few days, became more and more violent, and the trouble was even more serious than before. Now the family was completely helpless, and they couldn't drive away. Such an elegant place,
You can't just send a few strong warriors here all day long to prepare for a fight.
After going back and forth, the family found the Cheng family again, but this time it was a big change. Instead of expressing dissatisfaction, they politely asked the head of the Cheng family to help persuade Cheng Shaoming. Not to mention that it really worked, although it often happened.
Shaoming would still commit crimes here for a few days, but it didn't happen every day. Fenglin Xiaozhu also resumed normal business, so he began to turn a blind eye to what Cheng Shaoming did.
For some reason, there were far fewer guests than usual in Maple Grove Xiaozhu that day. Cheng Shaoming was alone here without the spirit of the past. He was drinking and looking around in boredom. Although his two personal followers were for personal protection, they never appeared in front of others. He was the only one.
They only show up when danger arises.
At this moment, a young man in his twenties, wearing brocade clothes and a sword hanging from his waist, walked into Maple Grove Xiaozhu. To say that this young man looked quite handsome, but there was a hint of evil in the corner of his mouth.
Smiling makes people feel at first glance that this person is not a kind person.
As soon as he came in, he picked a table and sat down on it, and then shouted loudly: "Please bring some wine and food for me. Where is the old madam? Call me the best girl."
several."
As soon as Cheng Shaoming, who had been bored all the time, heard this man's cry, he immediately spat out the sip of wine he just drank with a "pop" sound. He coughed and laughed and looked at the young man and said, "Holy shit,
I thought I was an asshole enough, but I didn’t expect someone even more asshole than me would come today. Do you think this is a brothel? You’re here to find a girl. Hey, boy, which ravine are you a bumpkin from?
?”
The young man looked at Cheng Shaoming, blinked his eyes, and said with a puzzled look on his face: "That's right, it's Fenglin Xiaozhu. I've asked about it. The girls here are the best in the entire capital, so I just arrived.
The Imperial Capital came straight here."
"Haha, you are indeed a country bumpkin from out of town. The clothes you wear look like a dog, and you are a complete country bumpkin. Could you please tell me where you are from?"
"Who are you? I want you to take care of my young master's affairs. If you don't have anything to do, just stay here. If you piss me off, I'll let you have a taste of the young master's old fists."
"Ah! I haven't encountered such a life-threatening master in a few years. You know who I am, so you dare to yell at me."
"I don't care who you are, if you disturb my young master's leisure, I will beat you even if I come. At worst, leave here and go somewhere else to play. Anyway, I am only an old man, so why are you afraid of you? But I see you
You look like this, I'm afraid you're here alone because no girl cares about you, haha."
Cheng Shaoming had never been said like this before. He immediately became angry, but before he could say anything, he saw the young man standing up and walking towards the door. As he walked, he was mumbling: "Damn, it looks like
If he is really deceived, if he lets me see him again, he will have a long memory, even I dare to deceive him."
Seeing that the young man was about to leave, Cheng Shaoming immediately shouted: "Stop."
But the young man seemed not to hear it at all, and showed no intention of stopping. Seeing that the young man had walked out of the door, Cheng Shaoming chased him out without hesitation. Seeing that the young man had not gone far, he chased after him.
He reached out and put a hand on the young man's shoulder, and cursed: "I called you, didn't you hear?"
But before Cheng Shaoming finished speaking, he felt a huge force coming from his hand that shook him back. Then he saw the young man turning around, still saying with that evil smile on his lips: "If you really want
If you deserve a beating, just say so."
Cheng Shaoming stood still and was slightly surprised. A few days ago, his father spent a lot of money to buy a Breakthrough Pill from the auction, which made him a strong man in the early stage of the War Saint. However, after this breakthrough, he found trouble for the first time in a fight.
It shocked people, but Cheng Shaoming's character would not be easily frightened. He just heard him shout in his mouth: "Come out here, do you want to see my joke? Why don't you come out and teach this young master a lesson for this blind person?"
Country bumpkin."
As soon as he finished speaking, two figures rushed in front of Cheng Shaoming out of nowhere, firmly protecting him behind them. Without saying a word, they released their domain and covered the young man in it. A suffocating wave of
The scorching heat spread, and someone in the crowd who had already run away when they saw someone causing trouble in the distance immediately shouted: "Two strong warriors, what are they doing? Are they crazy? They will come back here like this. This is...
In the inner city.”
But these two warrior saints had no intention of stopping. As soon as the field was opened, they rushed towards the young people on the opposite side. However, the young people in the field did not seem to be affected by the scorching heat. At this time, they were still agitated.
He said to himself with a smirk on his face: "Twins, it's interesting, but the calories don't seem to be enough. It seems that they are just in the early stage of the War Saint upgrade of the drug, and they are still the most inferior drugs. Otherwise, how could they be so weak, haha!
"
The two charging warriors kept changing their routes very quickly, but just after running halfway, they were blocked by a flaming figure appearing in front of them. The two flaming figures appeared at an unknown time and were immediately separated from the two
The warrior saints were fighting in one place, not losing at all, but the young man laughed and walked towards Cheng Shaoming as if he was walking in his back garden.
This sudden change made Cheng Shaoming immediately panic. Seeing that his helpers had been trapped by the other party, and this bumpkin who appeared out of nowhere was obviously no match for him, he secretly regretted it and immediately raised his hands.
He yelled wildly: "Hero, please let me go. I was just impulsive. Please forgive me for once."
As he spoke, he squeezed out two tears, but as soon as the tears came out, they were evaporated by the heat around him. Everyone could hear the lies, but they stopped the young man from moving forward.
He seemed to think seriously for a moment and then said: "I can spare you, but I can't spare you for free. What do you think you should do?"
"This is easy to handle, I can compensate you."
The young man's eyes lit up, and his evil smile became thicker as he said, "It's good to compensate. How much can you pay? If I'm not satisfied, I can't let you go. After all, it was you who provoked me first."
"How about one hundred thousand gold coins? That's a lot."
"One hundred thousand? That's too little. At least one million, otherwise I will let you go home with a bruised nose and a swollen face."
"One million? Okay, just one million." Cheng Shaoming took out a yellow crystal card and threw it to the young man.
After the young man took it and checked it, he immediately laughed and flashed back. Cheng Shaoming's eyes were dazzled. When he saw clearly again, the young man had already come to the side of a warrior saint and kicked the man hard.
He walked dozens of feet away and smashed a private house to the ground. Then without stopping, he ducked behind another strong warrior and punched him in the waist. The strong warrior hit him with a loud cry.
Huanhou fell forward and was stepped on in the face by the young man.
The realms of the two war saints disappeared together when they were knocked down. The young man shook his head and said: "If you use them as thugs like this, it will kill people."
After saying that, he stretched out his hands and saw the two figures fighting with the warrior saint turn into two clusters of flames and disappear in his palms. Then the young man clapped his hands, turned around with satisfaction and left. Cheng Shaoming, who had been completely frightened, only
I vaguely heard the young man saying as he was leaving: "With this money, I can have fun for a while. If there are more things like this, I won't have to run around anymore."
The two warrior saints got up one after another not long after the young man left, and came to Cheng Shaoming's side and bowed their heads without saying a word. When Cheng Shaoming saw their embarrassment, he became very angry and shouted: "
You trash, I have fed you in vain, disappear immediately."
The two warrior saints were speechless and left the place one after another after handing over their hands. Cheng Shaoming stared at the back of the young man who had not completely disappeared, and suddenly chased after him, shouting: "Wait a minute."
The young man stopped when he heard the sound, turned around and said with a smile: "What? Do you regret that you got a new helper so soon?"
Cheng Shaoming shook his head and said, "No, I think you are short of money, right?"
"What does this have to do with you?"
"It doesn't matter, but I see that you are indeed not comparable to my two useless bodyguards. How about this? I will give you enough money and you will protect me in the future?"
"Protect you?"
"Yes, protect me and I will never treat you badly. I will give you a lot of benefits."
"What's the benefit?"
"Don't you like to play? I can take you everywhere to play, so that you can really enjoy life. I will bear all the expenses. What you have to do is to protect my safety. You can play with me in everything I do.
How about sharing?"
"You give me money to protect you, and then you spend money to entertain me? Is this true?"
"Of course it's true. I am the young master of the Cheng family. How could I still lie to you?"
"It sounds pretty good, I might consider it."
"Don't think about it, just promise me to keep it for your benefit."
"Okay, but I promised you that if you lie to me, I will leave immediately."
"Okay, let's go back with me to meet my dad."
"Do you want to see your dad again?"
"Of course, he will pay for hiring you to protect me. Do I still need to pay for it?"
"What if he doesn't agree?"
"No, he cares about my safety very much. He will listen to everything I say."
After saying that, the two left the place chatting and laughing, as if they had suddenly become friends, leaving only those who were still watching.
This is the inner city of the imperial capital, and most of the people who come in and out here are respectable people. They are not as ignorant as ordinary people, but after seeing such an overwhelming battle, they were shocked and speechless, until the people in the fight
The two protagonists did not disperse for a long time after they left, but at this moment a man and a woman in the crowd quietly turned around and left.
