Chapter 573: Tiao Nu

Although it is not as fast as the Ferghana horse that can run thousands of miles a day, it is also famous for its endurance and stamina. It is no problem for it to run at such a high intensity without sleep for two or three days.

However, even though I can run without sleep, I still need to eat and drink, otherwise I will not be able to run fast during the day.

There were no replacement horses available in the ordinary county, so the horses could only be rested for a while.

Zhuang Qingning nodded, "Okay."

Looking up, I saw that Ying County was quite lively. At this time, the morning market was already bustling with people, and the breakfast stalls and shops were all open to welcome customers.

I saw a shop selling shengjian (fried dumplings) in front of me. The food was steaming and smelling delicious. There were many people gathered around it. There were long tables and benches outside, and they also sold soy milk, porridge, tofu pudding and other things.

Su Mu went to find a place to feed the horses first, and Zhuang Qingning and Su Ye went to the stall to order some fried dumplings and tofu pudding.

Zhuang Qingning was elegant and beautiful, while Su Ye, who was standing next to her, was wearing a black tight-fitting outfit that revealed a chill. These two people quickly attracted the attention of those around them. Many people looked at them sideways, but they felt that these two people were of noble status and did not dare to provoke them easily. They even did not dare to sit near them.

It was just daybreak at this time, and not many people came out for breakfast. Many people bought food and took it on the way home. There were not many people at the stalls, and most of them were far away, so they did not seem too conspicuous.

"Bring two plates of pan-fried dumplings, quickly." A servant in blue clothes shouted inside.

The shop owner was a middle-aged man, a little fat. He smiled and replied, "Please wait a moment. It will take about a cup of tea."

"Don't you have two plates of buns in your hand? Why did you make me wait so long?" The waiter looked at the pan-fried buns in the shop owner's hand and frowned and shouted.

"I'm sorry, these two plates of buns were just ordered by the two girls here. This pot has just been sold out, so you can only wait for the next pot." The shop owner explained.

"Then just give me these two plates of buns and let them wait for a while." The servant said again.

"This..." The shop owner saw that the waiter was unreasonable, so he just smiled and said, "Everything has to be first come first served. It won't take long, just a cup of tea. Just wait a little longer."

"How about this, I'll bring another half plate of buns later, and you can take them back and eat them."

"Do you think I'm a beggar? You're giving me half a plate of buns?" The servant immediately looked unhappy. "Do you know that I'm a servant in the house of Governor Zhuang? Our young master passed by here and was hungry. I'm giving you a plate of buns. Don't be so shameless and act like a big shot here."

It is said that the people should not fight against officials, especially when the other party is from the prefect's family, it is even more unacceptable to offend him.

The shop owner thought for a while, and finally smiled apologetically at Zhuang Qingning and Su Ye, "I'm really sorry, ladies. Please wait for a moment. Just consider this tofu pudding as a gift from me."

As he said this, the shop owner was about to hand the bun in his hand to the servant.

"Wait." Su Ye stood up and raised his hand to stop him, "I don't agree with this."

She was ordered to protect Miss Zhuang. If she couldn't even save Miss Zhuang's face or a plate of buns, how could she explain to her master? She was afraid that she would never be able to hold her head up again among the secret guards!

"Where did you come from, you crazy girl? You look like a ghost, and yet you still want to snatch these pan-fried buns from me?" The servant looked Su Ye up and down, and sneered, "To tell you the truth, I am from the prefect's family, and these buns are what the prefect's young master wants. If you know what's good for you, get out of here. If you don't, be careful or I'll sell you to a brothel..."

The boy stopped talking abruptly before he could finish his words.

It's not that he didn't want to speak, but because his throat was being tightly pinched by Su Ye at this moment, and he couldn't make any sound.

Su Ye was originally much taller than ordinary people, almost as tall as an adult man. He slowly raised his hands, and the servant's feet were already off the ground. Due to difficulty in breathing, the servant's two arms were grasping in the air randomly, and he could not exert any strength at all.

"You are just a dog who relies on the power of others. You are not worthy of spewing shit here."

Su Ye shouted angrily and waved his hand. The servant was thrown far away like a sandbag and happened to land next to a carriage.

There was a servant beside the carriage who was dressed like the boy. Seeing what happened, he hurriedly helped the man up and asked what happened.

The servant had already rolled his eyes, and it took him a long time to catch his breath. He simply told Zhuang Lianghong what had just happened, and even cried and begged him in the carriage to take charge of the matter.

"Master, it's fine if this person insults me, but they don't even take you seriously, and even insult adults. This kind of insubordination deserves death!"

"If we just let it go this time, won't we be laughed at and ridiculed every day in the future?"

Zhuang Lianghong was used to being domineering everywhere on weekdays, but now he had to ask for a plate of fried buns, and even the servant beside him was looked down upon like this.

Will Zhuang Lianghong still have any face left in the future?

The more Zhuang Lianghong thought about it, the angrier he became. He stepped down from the carriage and walked up to Zhuang Qingning and Su Ye with his hands behind his back.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"Master, these are the two women. The one who beat me just now was the one in black clothes..." said a servant beside him.

Zhuang Lianghong snorted coldly, "You two are the ones who stole my buns and beat up the people around me?"

Zhuang Qingning listened to the voice, turned his head to look here, picked up a pan-fried bun with chopsticks and put it into his mouth, and said slowly, "So what?"

"So what?"

Zhuang Lianghong gritted his teeth when he heard such contemptuous words, "Then..."

Without saying the rest of the words, Zhuang Lianghong froze in place.

The Zhuang Qingning in front of him was extremely beautiful, with a pair of lively almond eyes and long eyebrows. She looked heroic yet gentle, which added a bit of charm. Her nose was high but not abrupt, and the corners of her cherry lips were slightly raised. Although she was angry, she was fierce and beautiful...

In short, the girl in front of me is so beautiful.

She was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen.

If we must compare, probably only the fairies in the paintings can rival them.

Zhuang Lianghong, who was originally furious, now smiled mostly out of anger, and even showed a flattering smile to Zhuang Qingning, "Miss, what is your name? Where do you live? How old are you? Are you engaged?"
