Chapter 1, First Encounter (3)
The man in the golden robe gave a signal, and the guard beside him promptly took out five ingots of silver, each weighing ten taels, and handed them to the boss, saying: "Boss, do you understand? This is real silver"
He slowly walked up to the drunkard, disregarding the filth, and earnestly said: "Brother, from now on, you must live a good life. If something like this happens again, I fear no one will be able to save you!" As he spoke, he surprisingly reached out his hand and, with a sense of disappointment, patted the man's back.
Amitabha! Dingxiang exclaimed: "There are still many good people in this day and age!"
Wealth can make even ghosts push the millstone, let alone hiring a few porters in this war-torn capital of the Great Zhou.
Amidst the cawing of crows, Chen Si continued to speak ominously: "Investigate this woman’s background; it is truly intriguing. I want her!"
Chen Si? Hmm, my name is Yun Feifei!" Yun Feifei smiled brightly and said, "It is a pleasure to meet such a righteous person!"
It is indeed strange that, despite being struck by so many sticks, the person fell to the ground like a pile of mud, not even letting out a sound. Yet, with just a light blow from the man in the brocade robe, he trembled violently several times, letting out a painful groan. He raised his head slightly before collapsing again, but this time he did not move anymore
No need!" Chen Si brushed his light golden hair draped over his golden robe, elegantly waved his sleeve, and said to himself, "I just don't believe that with his proud nature, after being tempered in prison for so long and enduring such humiliation, he can still rise up!"
The sky has turned completely dark, with no sight of the bright moon, and even the stars are dim and lackluster
As Yan Kan watched Yun Feifei take Lingxiang and the Drunkard away, Chen Sijun's elegant smile gradually turned cold.
Yun Feifei raised her hand to deliver another slap, but this time, Dingxiang dodged quickly, moving all the way behind Chen Si, and said: "Miss, please stop hitting!"
Yun Feifei said resentfully: "How infuriating, so many people, and they are all just standing by to watch the excitement!"
The person's eyes are about to fall out, saying: "This person? So foul?"
Yun Feifei said impatiently: "I know, go find a porter to throw this person into the river for a wash, and we will settle down to discuss it later"
At this moment, the boss quietly left with his assistant, and the onlookers, seeing that there was no more good show to watch, also dispersed in disappointment
Yun Feifei looked at the drunkard with disdain and said, "I don't know him. But we can't just stand by and watch this person get beaten to death!"
The man in the brocade robe smiled faintly, took the brocade handkerchief handed to him by the attendant beside him, wiped his hands, casually discarded it, then stood up and said: "My surname is Chen, with the given name Si. May I ask for the esteemed name and surname of the young lady?"
The man in the brocade robe smiled and said, "Do you know this person, miss?"
Yun Feifei was so angry that she was about to shout, when she suddenly heard someone beside her say: "Boss, this is your fault. The beads on this hairpin are indeed high-quality sea pearls, and it is absolutely impossible to buy them for less than three to five hundred taels."
Yun Feifei turned her head and saw a handsome and noble man in a golden robe brushing against her. He slowly walked over, his deep eyes lingering on her face for a moment, and smiled, saying: "Miss, put away your hairpin. I will cover this fifty taels for you!"
Chen Si waved his long sleeves, and his triumphant laughter echoed through the streets, carrying a chilling sense of coldness
With a rustling sound, several cold crows were startled from a nearby building, sweeping over Chen Si's head, emitting hoarse "caw" cries.
The boss, with his eyes wide open, nodded and bowed, saying: "Yes, yes, it is indeed real silver!" He took the silver without even looking at it and tucked it into his bosom, bending his body as he retreated outside
On the side, the lilac was crying out: "Miss, it is getting dark, we should go back! The master's whip is no joke!"
The man in the brocade robe shook his head, a look of compassion in his eyes, and sighed: "The hearts of people are no longer as they used to be, the hearts of people are no longer as they used to be!"
The man in the brocade robe said: "Miss, you cannot bear to watch someone being beaten to death, how can I, with a heart like yours, remain indifferent? Since your heart is the same as mine, why should you care about who provides the silver?"
Master, Ye... this criminal has rescued the woman, what should we do? Should we continue to keep watch?
Moreover, Chen Si's face gradually sank into the twilight of the deep blue, becoming indistinct, and his voice revealed a hint of eeriness: "That palm strike of mine has already crippled his martial arts, how can he fight me again, how can he contest with me for clarity of appearance, haha, haha..."
Yun Feifei let out a sigh, hastily gathered her hair and pinned it up, and smiled, "Thank you, young master, for your righteous intervention! May I ask where your home is? I will have someone return the fifty taels of silver to you another day!"
Yun Feifei said: "If you are going to save someone, you must see it through to the end. It is so cold at night; if he endures like this until tomorrow, he will either stink to death or freeze to death. What is the matter? You are at least my Yun Feifei's maid; surely you can spare some silver, or can you not even afford to hire a porter?"
