"Let's split up."
“I’m going to the Pang residence,” Hu Jun said. Hu Jun’s brother, Hu Wan, worked as a steward at Pang Hao’s residence.
"Have the brothers prepare their weapons and equipment; we'll move out tonight. Take control of all the garrison troops in the city."
The 5,000 men they brought quickly dispersed.
...
On the street.
Jiang Tian and Empress Qian Renxue galloped on their horses and soon arrived at the main commercial district.
The main business district was bustling with activity.
There are outdoor stalls.
There were street performers and vendors selling miracle cures.
There are fortune tellers.
In short...
The scene was incredibly lively.
Qian Renxue found everything around her interesting.
Jiang Tian jumped off his horse.
"Two strings of candied hawthorns, please."
"Alright, one copper coin per string, sir, please choose whichever you like after you pay."
Jiang Tian took two strings of candied hawthorns and handed them both to Empress Qian Renxue.
This little girl is curious about everything.
She ate her candied hawthorn while watching the acrobatic performance next to her.
Qian Renxue, this little girl, although disguised as a boy, is incredibly beautiful.
They were quickly targeted.
These people were sneaking around, pointing at Qian Renxue and whispering amongst themselves.
"The one riding the horse is a little hen."
"This girl is quite pretty; our Commander Zhang will definitely like her when he sees her."
"Why are you being so polite? Get ready to make your move."
Soon, several of Zhang Xianzhong's men gathered around.
“Young master,” Ma Liangjun said with a smile to Jiang Tian, “one look at you and I can tell you are a man of wealth and status.”
Jiang Tian glanced at the group of people who had gathered around, said nothing, and continued to lead his horse forward.
Ma Liangjun pointed to a shop not far away: "Young master, we're here to attract business. That shop over there is called Liangpin Shop, it's run by our manager."
"The Liangpin Shop mainly sells fabrics and clothes."
Ma Liangjun glanced at Qian Renxue on horseback again: "Young master, why don't you come to our Liangpin Shop and see what clothes and fabrics we have?"
Jiang Tian turned around and glanced at Qian Renxue.
Qian Renxue nodded.
This little girl is curious about everything.
Upon hearing that there were good things for sale, Qian Renxue wanted to go and take a look.
"Alright, lead the way."
Ma Liangjun led a few people ahead.
Jiang Tian led the horse and followed behind.
Several of his men followed closely behind.
After turning into a small alley, there was indeed a large shop ahead.
The shop's signboard reads: Liangpin Shop.
Jiang Tian dismounted, carrying Qianrenxue in his arms.
"Please come in, gentlemen."
Jiang Tian looked around the Liangpin Shop. Although the shop was large, there were hardly any people around.
"This isn't some shady business, is it?"
Upon hearing this, Ma Liangjun quickly smiled and said, "Young master, what are you saying? People don't have much money these days, and even a shop as big as ours doesn't have much business."
"But the stuff here is really good stuff."
Qian Renxue, the young girl, couldn't wait to take Jiang Tian's hand and walk into the shop.
When we got inside the shop, it was indeed filled with clothes.
The shelves next to it were filled with fabrics of various colors.
Qian Renxue, this young girl, usually wears dragon robes in the palace.
The little girl grabbed Jiang Tian's hand and rushed straight to the piles of cloth.
Qian Renxue looked at the piece of fabric and also thought the color was beautiful.
Even the fabric has an exquisite pattern.
The little girl thought every piece of fabric she saw was nice.
The young girl picked up two pieces of fabric and placed them on her chest: "Jiang Tian, which of these two pieces of fabric do you think suits me best?"
"If you like it, we'll buy all the fabric in here."
Ma Liangjun knew immediately that they had caught a big fish this time.
Ma Liangjun gave the waiters a wink.
The waiter rushed to the door.
Soon, the loud sound of the door slamming shut rang out.
The waiters not only closed the door, but also lifted a heavy wooden bolt and secured it to the back of the door.
"What are you doing?" Qian Renxue was immediately startled.
“Little girl,” Ma Liangjun said, pulling a sharp knife from his waist in a flash. “I think you’re quite good-looking. I bet our Commander Zhang will like you. I’m going to capture you and present you to our Commander Zhang.”
Jiang Tian: "I advise you to put down the knife, otherwise you will be the one who dies."
The gleaming dagger in Ma Liangjun's hand emitted a cold light: "Boy, you're talking big. Aren't you afraid of biting off more than you can chew?"
"Just by looking at you, I can tell you come from a very wealthy family. Tell me, where is your home? I'll extort at least a million taels of silver from your family before I kill you."
Inside the Liangpin Shop, more than a dozen shop assistants were all holding machetes.
Qian Renxue screamed and shrank behind Jiang Tian.
"Kneel down, and I'll spare your lives." Jiang Tian looked at Ma Liangjun and his men.
"You think you're good enough for a pretty boy like you?"
"Kid, you really don't know your own limitations."
"Don't waste your breath on him, teach him a lesson."
A dozen or so people rushed forward.
Jiang Tian held two 50,000-volt stun guns in his hands. As the other party rushed over, Jiang Tian snorted coldly.
Before one of the men could even behead him, Jiang Tian's stun baton struck the man's machete directly.
With a whoosh, a blue arc of electricity shot through the air.
