lady, please calm down

On the night of the 12th, after Ayu had a conversation with her grandmother, she no longer felt happy to go home.

In the following days, Ayu lived in seclusion, trying her best to avoid seeing her family except for meeting some visiting sisters from childhood.

I just waited for my grandmother's sixtieth birthday on the 19th and then returned to Caizhou.

But this way, Hu Tou, who had originally planned to follow her to Yingchuan to relax, was frustrated.

After following Dianjiang around the Chen family's ancestral home for a few days, Hutou quietly left the Chen family with Xiaoman and maid Lu'er on the morning of the 17th.

This time when she came back to Yingchuan, Hu Tou brought a treasure. Cai Hua gave her the treasure Mo Ying.

Mo Ying is a horse, completely black without a single hair of any color, and is as shiny as satin in the sun.

Her mother is Xiao Hei, whom Cai Hua raised since childhood, and her father is Chen Chu's merciless Sao Hong.

Although the marriage of the two horses was not a happy one, it did not prevent Mo Ying from becoming a beautiful horse girl with a strong body.

The horse matures at the age of four, and Mo Ying is already over five years old, but Cai Hua has never been willing to ride it.

According to her crazy words, this horse is her and the prince's bloodline, and its status in the prince's palace is second only to Mao'er, Chen Chu, her and Ji'er.

Well, even Yunong and Ayu were at the back of the queue.

But this time after Hu Tou was punished unprecedentedly, Cai Hua gave Mo Ying to Hu Tou to make her happy.

Today's Hutou, who can be regarded as a general, has no resistance to beautiful ponies.

Today she left the house quietly, just to have fun with Mo Ying

At this time, regardless of the scorching sun above his head, Hu Tou found a flat river beach in the suburbs and galloped around wildly.

At the beginning of noon, Lu'er, the maid specially assigned by the princess to Hutou, persuaded her at the right time: "Mrs. Zhao, we have not informed Concubine Chen that we have left the house today. It is already lunch time. Let's go back quickly, lest we have to wait for lunch." Concubine Chen is worried."

Because Hu Tou is the sister of the princess, she cannot follow the Chen family's order of calling her "Second Sister, Er Niang" in the palace. People usually call her "Little Lady Zhao" to distinguish the title of "Mrs. Zhao" from the princess back then.

Hutou, who still had some unfinished thoughts, muttered: "Just call me Xiangyi, no matter how many times you say it."

"Xiangyi, come back. Let's come back to play in the evening when it's cooler." Xiaoman, who has the best relationship with Hutou, also advised.

Having been punished not long ago, Hutou listened to others' advice this time and dismounted reluctantly. In order to avoid tiring Mo Ying, he was not willing to ride on him on the way back and held him with him all the way.

It's almost noon, and the hottest period of the day is about to begin.

There are not many pedestrians on the official road back, but you can always see some pedestrians every 180 steps.

Three miles away from the ancestral house of the Chen family, there is a towering willow tree beside the official road, with green shade under the tree. More than ten steps away, there is a clear stream, gurgling south.

There are shades and springs, which should be an excellent place for pedestrians to rest. However, passers-by with the scorching sun above their heads took a look at the group of people under the trees. Not only did they not dare to go to enjoy the shade, they also quickened their pace.

Under the shade of the trees, there were more than twenty strange men.

They were said to be strange because of the way they dressed. Some wore green official uniforms, some wore official uniforms, and more men wore short brown clothes and were dressed as casual workers.

Moreover, most of the short-brown men were on their way because of the hot weather, and their chests were exposed. Tiger and wolf tattoos were clearly visible on their dark skin.

Next to it, there are more than a dozen burdens containing gift boxes tied with red silk. In recent days, it is not uncommon to see various gifts on this road leading to the ancestral home of the Chen family.

No one knows that the old lady of the Chen family will be celebrating her 60th birthday the day after tomorrow. In the past few days, officials at all levels from surrounding prefectures and counties have almost moved their rooms to the Chen family.

He comes in the morning and leaves late at night. He wholeheartedly helps take care of the Chen family, which is more active than taking care of his own father.

The same is true for the surrounding aristocratic families and gentry. Those who received the invitation were delighted and looked forward to the glory.

Those who didn't receive the invitation would try their best to come over and become familiar with each other.

It seems that the group of people under the shade of the tree are also here to celebrate birthdays.

The man sitting against the tree had pale skin and black eye sockets. He looked like he had been drinking too much. His thin figure happened to be wearing a ninth-grade green robe, which made him look like he was crowned a monkey.

A gentleman in soap clothes fetched cool water from the creek, walked to the green-robed official, knelt down, and said with a flattering smile: "Master Xu, we are almost at the Chen family residence. Please wash your face."

Master Xu took the water that Zaoyi poured from the water bag with his hands, and wiped a few handfuls on his face. He felt refreshed and energetic. He couldn't help scolding his companions: "Hurry up!" Go wash your face and show your energy! My great-aunt has very strict rules in her family. She must tighten her clothes before entering the house and don’t show her tattoos, so as not to be scolded by my third cousin."

All the companions responded with playful smiles, took off their shirts one after another, jumped into the stream to wipe themselves and wash their faces.

Although they were wearing obscene trousers to cover those important parts, the sight of a group of naked green-skinned men screaming and laughing in broad daylight still scared some of the women's team into not coming near, and they stopped far away under the scorching sun on the official road.

Mr. Xu looked around and saw that they were all ordinary peasant women, so he lost interest.

On the side, Zaoyi, who had been waiting for him to wash his face, still squatted beside him and did not leave. He only heard this Zaoyi compliment him: "Sir, the birthday of the old lady of the Chen family has shocked several counties in Yingchang. Such scenery was what Yingchuan was like back then. The Wu family is far behind!"

"Ha~" Mr. Xu sneered and said domineeringly: "What the hell is the Wu family? If you mess with my family, it will be wiped out in a snap!"

The Wu family was destroyed, all because of the grudge against the King of Chu.

Mr. Xu calls Mrs. Chen his great-aunt, and the Chen family is related by marriage to the King of Chu. Speaking of it, the relationship between Mr. Xu and the King of Chu is really far away. It is not his turn to say with confidence, "I have offended my family." kind of words.

But Nao Zaoyi took it as a matter of course, and the look of admiration on his face became even stronger, and he smiled so hard that he could hardly see his eyes, "Sir Xu, speaking of which, when the King of Chu meets you, he has to call you cousin."

"Haha~" Mr. Xu smiled reservedly.

Zaoyi added: "Your Excellency, your cousin is a concubine in the palace, and your eldest cousin is a real border official. Your Excellency has the talent to manage the world, and your future will be limitless!"

"Haha, stop flattering~"

Master Xu laughed and cursed, but the smile on his face showed his true thoughts at the moment. He then heard him say: "Zhang Jia, you have been with me for several months and you are loyal. From now on, when I go to Huaibei to serve as an official, I will think of ways to get you a county magistrate or something."

"Thank you for your support, sir!"

Zaoyi Zhang Jia immediately knelt down, kowtowed several times, and then said excitedly: "Is there something about your promotion, Sir?"

"hehe."

Master Xu smiled and said nothing.

More than a dozen steps away, the companions clearly heard the conversation between Mr. Xu and Zhang Jia. Seeing that Zhang Jia had been appointed as the "county magistrate" in an instant, they couldn't hold back.

Although the county magistrate is the lowest official in a country's governance system, in the eyes of these rogue idlers who made a living by stealing and blackmailing others just a few months ago, being the county magistrate is the ultimate goal in life!

If they hadn't had some friendship with Mr. Xu when they were hanging out on the street, they wouldn't have dared to think about such extraordinary wealth.

Zhang Jia could achieve enlightenment and ascend to heaven, so they naturally refused to lag behind others.

I saw the leader of the group, Hu Sanxiang, running hurriedly from the stream. When he was about a foot away, he knelt down and said, "My lord, my father and mother gave birth to me, and you understand me! In my little heart, you are already better than your father." This is someone my mother still wants to kiss. If you are transferred to Huaibei, my son is willing to stay with you forever."

As soon as he opened his mouth, the other companions also ran over and knelt down, shouting in a chaotic manner. Although they called him different names, they were all compliments.

Seeing this, Mr. Xu couldn't help but feel extremely happy. He casually pointed at Hu Sanxiang and said, "You can't run away with just a command."

Then he pointed to the other companion who yelled the loudest, "You, first set up a camp for Zheng Yu Hou Dangdang."

In just a dozen seconds, this group of companions was clearly arranged, and the youngest one was a team general.

Mr. Xu had never been an official before. Even when he met Zhang Jia in Zaoyi more than half a year ago, he still had to nod and bow to apologize.

But he felt that it was not difficult to become an official. The main thing was to see if there were noble people to support him, just like the cousin who had a bad face when he saw him. He was not a county magistrate the size of a mung bean a few years ago!

Now, he is a big shot in Da Qi who can make Huaibei tremble three times with just a stomp of his feet.

Mr. Xu has no doubts about whether he can achieve his wish. His grandmother came to Yingchuan a few days ago to help him plan.

Even the clever idea of ​​sending the two sisters to the palace was his idea.

For this reason, Mr. Xu also found a secret agent last month to teach the girl some ways to serve men in bed.

In his opinion, the Chen family, which was once half-dead, could become a prominent family in Yingchang in just a few years because of his cousin entering the palace.

As long as the girl can be favored, the current Chen family's scenery will belong to his Xu family sooner or later.

In front of him, the sight of all his subordinates and companions kneeling together made him even more sure of his thoughts.

Haha, I, Xu Wanjun, may be able to become an uncle in the future.

"Hurry up and get dressed. After a short rest, we will go to the Chen Mansion to wish you a happy birthday! You all, please be smart and don't be embarrassed or get into trouble!"

Xu Wanjun is high-spirited and passionate.

Two quarters past noon.

Everyone has put on their clothes and just needs to freshen up their appearance before walking the last three miles to the Chen family's old residence.

At this time, three women came from the official road in the south, leading a sacred black horse.

Xu Wanjun was first attracted by the horse, and he even considered buying it for his cheap brother-in-law. As a warrior, who doesn't love horses?

But then, someone came closer, and Xu Wanjun was immediately attracted by the girl leading the horse. Perhaps it was for the convenience of riding, but the girl did not wear a skirt, but wore a separate top and bottom like the Hu people.

The Huyi, which is slightly tighter than the skirt, outlines the girl's newly developed slim figure.

That fair little face exuded a faint pink color due to the intense heat, with a delicate nose and cherry-red mouth. What’s even more attractive is the pair of naturally affectionate peach blossom eyes.

A frown and a smile, there is a sense of style.

At first, Hutou didn't notice the crowd under the shade of the trees. It wasn't until he got closer that he realized that these people were looking directly at him.

Hu Tou was not annoyed, so he couldn't help but stop talking with Xiao Man and quickened his pace.

But the frowning and angry look made Xu Wanjun under the tree even more intolerable. However, thinking of the important birthday celebration today, Xu Wanjun could only resist the urge to step forward and tease her. But as the saying goes, a dog can't change its habit of eating shit. Even though he convinced himself not to cause trouble today, Xu Wanjun couldn't hold back his talk. He stood under the tree and smiled at the tiger's head and shouted: "Hey, which family is this? Little lady, why are you not accompanied by your father, brother, and dad? I might be kidnapped by bandits and kidnapped into the mountains to be the wife of the village."

"Hahaha"

All the companions burst into laughter.

Almost all of her tiger-headed girlfriends were general women, and hatred of evil was engraved in their bones. Now that she ignored them, she was provoked by these people and turned around to scold them.

But Lu'er grabbed him. Although Lu'er is not very old, he is naturally cautious because Cat specially arranged to give him the tiger's head.

Now in the suburbs, Lu'er didn't dare to let Hutou conflict with these men, lest he suffer a loss.

Hutou probably remembered that he was still guilty, so he suppressed his anger and continued walking north.

But this way, Xu Wanjun became even more enthusiastic, "Hey, little lady, please don't leave. How about you call me brother and I will escort you home?"

"Brother, please come and listen, hahaha." The companions cheered and shouted again noisily.

At this time, Hutou finally couldn't bear the term 'brother', which had an extraordinary meaning to her.

Brother is not only a special reference to someone who is also a brother and father, but also a ray of light in her desperate situation when she was six years old.

"roll!"

Hutou stood still on the road, turned around and scolded, "If you want to flirt with me, go home to your mother. If you don't have a mother, I'll go and find your sisters at home! Bah, pickled things, smelling like fox, you're dirty for no reason." My eyes have polluted this thoroughfare!"

"."

Under the bright sun, not only Xiaoman and Luer were shocked with their mouths wide open, but even Xu Wanjun and others were stunned.

Ouch, a pretty young lady opened her mouth and scolded the whole family, how cruel!

Little did they know that Hu Tou had received intensive training at the Tongshan Children's Swearing Training Class when he was a child.

When they were still in the mountains, none of these wild kids like Sandra Ng, Wu Yanzu, and Peng Yuyan were masters of swearing.

It’s only in recent years that Hu Tou has grown older and has been strictly disciplined by his sister, so he no longer dares to curse.

But on Xu Wanjun's side, the general had just experienced being bowed down by everyone, and was scolded by a young lady. He couldn't save his face, so he couldn't help but get angry and stepped forward.

As soon as he moved, the other Zaoyi companions followed him one after another.

Bullying the minority with more people is the most convenient thing.

In the blink of an eye, three people and one horse were surrounded in the middle of the official road.

Seeing that the momentum was not right, Xiaoman quickly blocked the tiger's head behind him and said on guard: "What do you want to do? Yingchuan County is a few miles away. Aren't you afraid of reporting it to the official!"

The people who were careless and didn't take the three girls seriously started laughing again.

Zhang Jia, who is a 'future county magistrate' and is eager to show off in front of Xu Wanjun, took out an iron ruler from his waist and flashed it, and said with a smile: "Look what this is? Report to the official, we are the officials, why is the little lady suing me?"

"Hahaha"

Amidst the laughter, Lu'er hurriedly stepped forward and said seriously: "Don't be rude, we are from the Chu Palace, and this is the prince's sister!"

"."

There was silence, and Xu Wanjun, who was looking at the clothes of the three people, burst out laughing again.

Although the clothes of the three women are all made of good cloth, they are not too expensive, and are even somewhat inferior to the cloth used by the female family members of the Chen family in Yingchuan.

But it would not be an ordinary person who could raise such a fine horse.

When Xu Wanjun thought about it, it might be a female family member of a wealthy family in Yingchuan. In the past, he couldn't afford to offend this kind of people, but now hehe.

In the entire Yingchang Mansion, except for the Chen family where his aunt was in charge, all other families were nothing more than local chickens and dogs in his eyes.

How do the surviving aristocratic families such as Zhong, Yu, Xie, and Pei in Yingchuan compare with the Wu family back then?

Furthermore, when the Chen family declined in the early years, it was not uncommon for other families to take advantage of the Chen family.

Xu Wanjun is not afraid of this young lady today even if she belongs to several of their families!

It can be considered as helping my great-aunt’s family to vent their anger!

With this thought, Xu Wanjun had made up his mind. This young lady who dared to scold him needed to be punished, and the horse she was holding must also be taken away.

"You cheap servant, you are talking nonsense! Haha, the family of King Chu? How did I hear that King Chu was alone when he returned to his homeland? Where did his sister come from?"

In one sentence, the surprised companions should feel relieved. I have never heard of King Chu having such a big sister!

I was almost intimidated by this maid!

Luer was speechless for a moment. Hutou had been with the prince since she was six years old, and everyone in the house subconsciously regarded her as the prince's sister.

But at this time, the other party believed that she was lying. If she was corrected as the princess's sister, I'm afraid the other party wouldn't believe it either.

Luer looked at Xiaoman anxiously.

Xiao Man has begun to observe the surroundings, just in case he takes action, so that he can find an escape route for Hu Tou.

Over there, Xu Wanjun's face suddenly darkened, and he shouted: "You are not accompanied by a man, and you are acting in a panic! I am the Lieutenant of Yancheng County, and I suspect that you are runaway slaves from a certain household member's wife, and have stolen the master's house. The horses escaped! Zhang Jia tied them up and let me search them personally, haha."

Beside him, Zhang Jia had already taken off the chain around his waist, and walked straight towards the tiger's head with a grin.

He had already seen that Mr. Xu was attracted to this girl with bright eyes and good eyesight.

The three tiger heads have been in Caizhou for a long time. Not to mention that Caizhou's security is far better than that of Yingchang, but as they are members of the royal family, who dares to cause trouble?

Therefore, no one has experience in handling the current situation.

Seeing the opponent approaching, Xiaoman raised his head and glanced down the straight official road. He suddenly stretched out his foot and kicked Zhang Jia, who had just approached, back five or six steps and sat down on the ground.

Zhang Jia was shocked and frightened. He didn't understand how this girl, who looked to be at least eighteen or nineteen years old, could have such great strength.

"Hahaha, Zhang Jia, you've been bragging all day in vain, but you can't even deal with a pretty little girl! Mr. Xu, just watch!"

Hu Sanxiang, who had a competitive relationship with Zhang Jia, took the opportunity to add insult to injury. With another wave of his hand, he led several of his companions to pounce on him.

Xiaoman was not idle either. After kicking Zhang Jia away, he suddenly picked up the tiger's head and put it on the horse's back.

"Xiaoman!"

Hutou immediately understood what Xiao Man meant, struggled to dismount, and shared the difficulties with Xiao Man and Lu'er.

Xiao Man slapped Mo Ying on the buttocks, and the latter immediately kicked forward.

Here, Xiao Man has already made contact with Ban Dang. Only then did this group of idle men realize that Zhang Jia would be kicked away.

Even if this young lady used her bare hands to block, her arms would be numb from the shock of her fists, and she would have to take a few steps back to stabilize her body.

If there are knowledgeable people here, they can probably tell that Xiaoman's boxing and kicking skills are obviously a routine in the military!

It's a pity that Xu Wanjun and the others are ignorant and still don't understand that the little lady they provoked today is actually the enemy of someone, a certain family, or even the entire Huaibei Army.

The pretty young lady might also be a living king of hell.

Xiao Man studied under Tie Dan and learned the fierce killing skills. However, there were no long soldiers that were most suitable for her to use, and Xiao Man had no intention of killing. The opponent relied on the large number of people to fight evenly.

However, Xiao Man couldn't help but feel reassured when he saw Mo Ying rushing out of the crowd with the tiger's head on his back.

"Catch her, don't let this runaway slave escape!"

Unexpectedly, Xu Wanjun suddenly shouted, and a companion who was staying outside immediately took out a stone lock from his waist. There was a stone the size of a chicken egg at each end of the stone lock, which was sewn and wrapped in tough coarse cloth, and then connected with a cloth belt.

If you are a good messenger, you can use the flying inertia of the stone pellets to tie people's legs or horses' hooves after throwing them out.

I saw him swinging the stone lock a few times, then suddenly swung it out, flying in an instant and hitting Mo Ying's hind hoof.

Mo Ying suddenly stalled, staggered, and both the man and the horse fell to the ground.

Fortunately, Mo Ying just picked up the speed, but the horse was not fast. Mo Ying neighed and tried to stand up, but because his hind legs were entangled, he tried several times but failed.

The tiger's head was thrown into the dust of the official road, covered with dust, and the cute double bun that Ayu had combed with her own hands this morning also fell away.

There were some scratches on his face. It didn't look like the injury was serious, but he was stunned by the impact. He sat on the ground blankly, his eyes unfocused.

Lu'er, who was captured by his companion, couldn't help being frightened and cried out: "Xiangyi!"

Xiao Man, who was fighting with his companion, turned around and saw the tiger head.

All the energy and blood suddenly surged to his head, and without caring about anything else, he suddenly stooped and pulled out a six-inch dagger from his boot.

Just a horizontal wipe and a forward thrust.

One had his throat opened, another had his chest broken.

Among the besieging companions, the sudden spurt of blood made everyone retreat in horror.

After a few breaths, the two corpses fell straight into the dust.

Xiaoman, who was sprayed with blood all over his face, had practiced martial arts for many years, but this was his first time killing someone.

Under the scorching sun, Xiaoman, covered in blood, pointed at Xu Wanjun with a dagger.

An incongruous combination of delicate and bloody, paradoxical and frightening.

Perhaps because he was so agitated, Xiao Man burst into tears when he opened his mouth, "We are crossing the road in peace, why do you insist on bullying us! Woo woo, if you hurt the tiger's head, I will, woo, kill you all." , woo woo woo." (End of chapter)
