Chapter 305: Little Mad Knife Su Jiuni
As if he knew what she was thinking, the boy's words arrived before she could even raise her fist.
"A birthday gift cannot be refused. Senior Sister, a silver bracelet cannot cover up your heroic figure, really."
Tianbao's mouth twitched slightly. If you couldn't help laughing when you spoke, I would believe you.
The boy sighed pitifully, "It took me a long time to choose this one."
“…” Never mind, when did she ever care about these things?
After taking the gift and putting it on his wrist, Tianbao took a step back, closed the door, and said two hard words, "Sleep!"
Outside the door, the boy who was pretending to be good and soft suddenly smiled brightly.
Two days later, the transport ship docked at the pier outside Yuncheng. A group of people got off the ship and rushed to the restaurant in the city to have a good meal before returning to the exile place.
After the new emperor ascended the throne, people's livelihood in cities and prefectures was not affected. On the contrary, it seemed more lively and bustling than before.
The people have truly benefited from those newly issued decrees to benefit the people.
Another point worth mentioning is that after Emperor Xuan Jing came to power, the wanted posters of the Nine Countries that were originally posted on the walls of various prefectures were torn off.
Not a single one was left in Dai Viet territory.
This is the new emperor openly challenging the nine countries. In the eyes of the people, there are only two words to describe it: tough!
It was noon, and the big restaurant in the city was full of guests. A new diner came in amidst the lively conversation, but it did not attract anyone's attention.
"The current emperor has been on the throne for over a year now, and life for us common people is truly much better than before. Not only has he reduced taxes for three years, but he has also issued several decrees to benefit businesses and farmers... Look, there are far more people coming to the restaurant every day than before. Doesn't that mean they all have extra money? Hahaha!"
"A wise ruler and a prosperous age are what the people long for. I just hope it won't be like before—cough."
"Of course not! Haven't you seen how many things the emperor has done this year that have won the people's applause? He has redressed unjust cases, punished villains, and valued virtuous officials! The injustice of General Yuan's mansion has been redressed, and Young General Yuan has returned to the court and is now the General Protector of the Nation! Anyone who can gain Young General Yuan's support must be a wise ruler!"
"What I admire most is the Emperor's order to withdraw the wanted orders from nine countries! Although Little Mad Knife, Old Poison and the others are lawless and notorious, no matter what, they are still from my country, Da Yue. It is Da Yue's business to arrest and issue wanted orders. Several countries jointly posted wanted orders to my country, Da Yue. Isn't this overstepping their authority? Isn't this bullying the country? How can my country, Da Yue, maintain its dignity? This time, the Emperor slapped them back. Good! Satisfying!"
"I agree with you. Let's go back to Little Mad Knife and Old Poison. Their notoriety is indeed widespread, but who among us ordinary people has suffered? They are from the underworld, and they deal with underworld matters. To be honest, I have never heard of them bullying ordinary people. On the contrary, when they appear in the city, copper coins and silver coins have fallen into the homes of ordinary people... Of course, this is just my personal opinion. What happens in the Exiled Lands is not part of the discussion."
Many of the diners who were discussing this topic laughed and gave each other praise.
At this moment, a curious voice interrupted, "Little Kuangdao? Who is Little Kuangdao?"
Hearing the voice coming from behind him, a table of diners turned around speechlessly, "Little Crazy Knife Su Jiuni! How could you not know? From out of town - right..."
He wanted to swallow the word "吧" back, but he didn't have time and it slipped out.
The diner's half-turned posture suddenly stiffened, and his eyes met the eyes of the person opposite him.
A thin old man with triangular eyes and a bird's nest hair. He looks very kind when he blinks. The most important thing is that the bird's nest hair is so iconic.
Even if you don't know him, you can associate the bird's nest head with the portrait on the wanted poster.
This is the only one of its kind—this is the old poison he had just been talking about, it is impervious to poison! Ah!
The old man's triangular eyes widened in realization, and he happily reached out and patted the diner's stiff shoulder, "So Little Wild Knife is my sweet baby! Hehehe! What a nice name! Thanks, big brother!"
Diner, "No, no, de de de, thank you——"
Is his shoulder still there?
The bustling restaurant lobby also became quiet, so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
The shopkeeper behind the counter quickly slipped into the groove of the counter. The waiter who had just come out of the kitchen to serve the dishes turned on his heel and ran to the kitchen with the tray on his back. He hid behind the partition curtain and peeked out with fear.
"Eat your food and chat about your things, don't look at the old man! I'm just here to listen, come on, continue, don't bother with us!" The old man was in a good mood, and after turning around, he shook his head to show off the Little Mad Knife to the people at the same table, completely ignoring whether the people around him could eat or not.
Bai Xiaofeng was also in a very happy mood at the moment. "Little Crazy Knife? People out there are really good at giving names. It fits Tianbao very well."
"It's fitting." The bearded man crossed his arms, calculating with extraordinary curiosity. "But there are eight people wanted on the wanted poster, right? I'm the leader of a gang after all, and they didn't even mention me when they were discussing me. Don't I deserve a name?"
The old man suddenly became curious and pounded his fist into his palm, "Yeah! Big Beard, what's your name?"
Big Beard, “…” Damn it.
Seeing that the beard couldn't cover the man's dark complexion, the boys burst into laughter.
"Tell me, what's your name? Let's get to know each other again. I'm immune to poison! What's the name of Gang Leader Hu?" The old man was relentless.
The bearded man was furious, "I call you dad!"
Old man, "Hey! Good son!"
Bai Xiaofeng, "Puff——"
Boys, “Puhahaha!”
The diner who stood up and tried to slip away sank back onto his stool with a thud, "Puff, puff!"
"If you want to laugh, then laugh properly. Why are you talking nonsense with your mouth? The poison can't penetrate you. If I don't beat you up for three days, I'll deal with you when I get home!"
“Hehehe!”
“…”
The companions at the table burst into laughter, and the whole room was filled with suppressed laughter. The bearded man was so angry that his mother also laughed out of anger.
The shopkeeper finally mustered up the courage to stand up, and desperately signaled the waiter to serve the dishes, hoping that the big boss at that table would have enough food to eat without having to fight for it, otherwise he wouldn't know who to ask for compensation if the tables, chairs, bowls, chopsticks and dishes were damaged!
The atmosphere in the lobby was extremely strange.
Although the room was full of guests, there was only one table where people were leisurely eating, drinking and chatting.
The rest of them were holding their chopsticks and seemed to be eating seriously, but they all had squinting eyes and were stuck to a table and couldn't move away.
Afraid, yet unwilling to leave.
The man who had just been patted on the shoulder by the old man felt so stiff and sore. He tried to turn his body back to normal little by little and moved his shoulder. It was okay, not rotten, and not fallen off.
Realizing he wasn't being bullied, the diner inexplicably grew a bit bolder, half-turned around, and tremblingly spoke, "Du Du Du Lao... w-where are you guys going to fight?"
"What are you talking about? Where are you going? After you're full, we'll go back to our place of exile." Du Buqin also turned halfway around, holding his bowl and eating while saying, "We just came back from Longyuan Country. We fought a hundred masters! Haven't you heard about this? Hasn't the news spread back yet? Longyuan Country has spread the news. We are really brutal!"
"..." When he says that he is cruel, it doesn't sound cruel enough, Du Lao.
