New Town, [cheap accommodation in the east of the city].
Wang Lue, along with several urban management soldiers from Xincheng, was listening to the shopkeeper's crying, while Cai'er, who was dressed as a servant, had her hands tied behind her back.
"Boss Wang, this boy almost beat me to a pulp. He can't afford the accommodation fee and he blames me for cheating him. It's unfair. You have to take charge of our inn."
"What's going on? Tell me clearly. Stop crying." Wang Lue didn't have the patience to listen to the shopkeeper crying, so he asked directly to the point.
The shopkeeper then told the whole story.
The story goes like this: Cai'er came with some silver to book a room, but the shopkeeper said the room fee was three taels and the deposit was two taels, which would be refunded when she checked out.
Cai'er only had a little over three taels of silver on her, and couldn't afford the deposit. Then they started arguing, with the shopkeeper despising her for not having money to stay, and Cai'er got so angry that she hit him.
Then Wang Lue brought his men to subdue Cai Er. That's why the shopkeeper was crying with a bruised face.
"Did you hit him?" Wang Lue asked Cai'er.
"So what? He was the one who insulted me first."
"Well, since you were the one who did it, according to the New City Management Regulations, come with us back to the detention center.
Well, the situation isn't too serious. I'll detain you for three days to reflect on your actions and learn the New City regulations."
After saying this, Wang Lue led his men away. Cai Er was dissatisfied and wanted to resist.
But the soldiers in Xincheng are different from those random soldiers. Any one of them can be made a general in the current imperial army.
No matter what Cai'er did, it was in vain and she was taken away for detention.
…
Jiang Mansion.
Jiang Xiuyuan calmly picked up his pen and started writing and drawing.
There were footsteps outside the door. Jiang Xiuyuan looked up and saw Siqin walking into the study.
"Master, our young master will not be returning home to live today." Siqin said, and handed over another letter, "A letter from the capital, please take a look, Master."
Siqin still addressed them as "Master" and "Young Master" as usual. The letter came from the General's Mansion in the capital.
After Yuchi Ziling left the city, Su Hui sent someone to find General Yuchi Zhong. After Yuchi Zhong heard what his wife had said, he hurriedly wrote a letter to Jiang Xiuyuan and sent it to southern Xinjiang.
Jiang Xiuyuan took the letter and finished reading it with a frown.
It's a mixed feeling. The worry is that Yuchi Ziling has offended Prince Xuan's Mansion, but the good news is that this girl is still unmarried and has a childhood engagement, so with a little push, won't it be possible?
"Master, what big thing happened?" Siqin asked when she saw Jiang Xiuyuan's complicated expression.
"Well, it's indeed a bit troublesome, but I can't say for sure, maybe it's a good thing."
Jiang Xiuyuan showed the letter to Siqin. The couple fell into deep thought, as the matter was a bit tricky.
If the Xuanwang Mansion did not investigate further, then the Jiang family, who were far away from the emperor, would be happy if their son married the daughter of the Yuchi family. But if they investigated further, it would be equivalent to offending the Xuanwang Mansion.
…
Yanchun Building, VIP suite on the third floor.
Yuchi Ziling was still in shock. She knew Jiang Hai was wealthy, but she had never imagined he was so wealthy and extravagant. He was even richer than the wealthy and powerful people in the cities she had passed by before.
"Brother Su, if you feel sleepy, go to the compartment at the back to rest. There is a bed there." Jiang Hai saw that she was in a daze and gave her a warm reminder.
"Well, that's okay. I'm not so sleepy anymore. I'll read a book first."
Yuchi Ziling came to her senses and spoke out what she was thinking. She really wanted to come and read a book, um, the secret book of marksmanship.
Jiang Hai looked at her curiously, and when he saw Yuchi Ziling take out the box, Jiang Hai almost burst out laughing.
He recognized what it was at first sight. It was something from [Dongcheng Hot Culture Media]. It must have been something that Old Jia tricked this silly girl into buying.
Jiang Hai was having a hard time suppressing his laughter. He reached out and picked up the teapot on the table and poured two cups of tea. Then he sat down opposite and said,
"What book is Brother Su reading? Can you show it to me?"
"Secrets of spearmanship. Do you practice martial arts? Of course you can if you want to see it." Yuchi Ziling replied.
"Then give me a copy." Jiang Hai asked her for one with ill intentions.
"Oh, okay." Yuchi Ziling picked up a book from the box and handed it to him.
Then,……
Jiang Hai turned the pages of the book at the same time as her.
In an instant, Yuchi Ziling's face turned like a ripe red apple.
A large-scale social death scene.
"It's really a good shooting skill. I didn't expect Brother Su to have such a good thing.
Oh my god, this is really inspiring. It’s wonderful, it’s wonderful.”
Jiang Hai pretended to be amazed.
Yuchi Ziling was so embarrassed that she almost crawled out of the three-bedroom apartment with her toes. Seeing the realistic images on the pages, as well as the embarrassing words and descriptions, she wanted to find a crack in the ground and never come out again.
She snapped the book shut, panting heavily, and saw Jiang Hai still reading across from her with great interest. She wanted to grab it, but she felt it was inappropriate. After all, she was a man now, and it would be unreasonable to be too shy.
Seeing her like this, Jiang Hai closed the book, stared at her with a smile on his face, wanting to see what else she could do.
"Hey, Brother Neptune, let's have some tea. Let's not watch it. What's so interesting about it?"
After saying that, Yuchi Ziling picked up the teacup with both hands and started drinking, trying her best to cover her blushing face with the action of drinking tea. She lowered her head and did not dare to look up at Jiang Hai.
Picking up the teacup, Jiang Hai started drinking and pushed the book back to her.
Yuchi Ziling drank the tea in one gulp and hurriedly put the book back into the box.
With a click, the box closed, and the scene instantly fell silent. Endless awkwardness spread again.
Of course, the awkward one was Yuchi Ziling, because Jiang Hai already knew what the content of the book was.
He calmly drank the tea his father had drugged him with, and was interested in making a few more comments.
Just when he wanted to say something, he noticed that Yuchi Ziling opposite him had a dazed look in her eyes. It seemed that she was no longer shy, but had a more enchanting and charming look.
Jiang Hai's heartbeat quickened as a surge of heat washed over him. He shook his head, but it didn't help. A surge of desire washed over him.
Yuchi Ziling reached out and touched the back of Jiang Hai's hand, and it felt like an electric current ran through their bodies. Her slightly parted red lips seemed to express her eager anticipation.
Jiang Hai's desire, which he had been suppressing, was completely shattered by this slight touch, and his last line of defense completely collapsed.
He embraced the beauty in front of him, kissed her red lips, and responded to her eagerness.
The touch of the lips made the beautiful woman's body tremble slightly, and her eyes became more blurred.
Her heavy breathing made her chest heave, and she wrapped her arms around the other's neck, greedily demanding.
After a long time, their lips parted, and the two of them pressed their foreheads against each other, panting. The woman's body fragrance entered Jiang Hai's nostrils, making him burn with desire.
He bent down, picked up the beauty, and walked towards the bed behind the compartment.
