Chapter 450 Screening
Before Ding Mingxuan could finish speaking, Chang Siyuan stood up abruptly, turned around and walked towards the door without saying a word.
Chang Siyuan had only taken two steps when he turned back to look at Xing Yu, who was still stunned. Xing Yu then came to her senses, got up, turned around, and followed Chang Siyuan.
Ding Mingxuan's face immediately darkened, but he didn't say anything.
But when Chang Siyuan and Xing Yu reached the door and opened it, they found two tall, strong men standing outside, exuding a menacing aura and clearly not to be trifled with.
The two men first blocked Chang Siyuan and Xing Yu's path, then looked up at Ding Mingxuan, who was sitting there with a dark expression.
Ding Mingxuan looked up at Chang Siyuan and Xing Yu's backs and said coolly, "Today, once you step out of this door, there's no going back."
Chang Siyuan, Xing Yu, have you thought this through?
Li San Niang glanced at Chang Siyuan and Xing Yu, who were being stopped outside, and then at Ding Mingxuan before standing up herself. However, Bi Qionglan, who was a moment behind Li San Niang, also stood up at this moment.
"Xiao Ding, you are also a talented young man. Young people always want to be number one, which I can understand."
However, there are countless intelligent people in this world; things aren't as simple as just saying what you want them to do.
After saying that, Bi Qionglan walked towards the door, and Li Sanniang followed directly behind her.
At this moment, Nineteen and Qiuxiang, who heard the noise, ran out from the next room along with the others.
"My Lord!"
It must have been Chang Siyuan's attendant. Seeing his master being blocked, he panicked, shouted, and then bypassed Shijiu and Qiuxiang, attacking the two tall, strong men standing at the door.
Just as Li San Niang watched the tall, strong man parry twice and was about to retaliate, Ding Mingxuan from inside the house spoke up: "Let them go."
Thus, the tall, strong man changed his punch to a block and stepped aside, allowing Chang Siyuan and Xing Yu to walk out the door.
Of course, Bi Qionglan and Li Sanniang, who were following behind the two, also came out.
Qiu Xiang took a step and came to Li San Niang's side, shielding Li San Niang behind her, and turned to look at Li San Niang, saying, "It's alright, I'm fine."
Li San Niang's words reassured Qiu Xiang, but she still stood in front of Li San Niang, watching the two tall and strong men in front of her, in case they attacked again.
As Chang Siyuan stepped out the door, he was protected by his attendants. "Hmph," Chang Siyuan snorted without turning his head and went straight downstairs.
Xing Yu didn't follow immediately, but instead said to Li San Niang, "San Niangzi, shall we go together?"
Li San Niang nodded, with Qiu Xiang in front and Shi Jiu behind, the two of them sandwiching Li San Niang in the middle, and followed Xing Yu downstairs.
However, when Xing Yu and Li San Niang passed by Bi Qionglan, they both bowed to her and received a wave from her before quickly walking downstairs.
After watching Li San Niang and the others leave, Bi Qionglan stood at the door and looked back at Ding Mingxuan, Ding Anbo, and Jiang Yijun, who were still sitting at the round table inside the house. Bi Qionglan opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but after thinking about it, she just sighed and didn't say anything more.
Bi Qionglan said to a rough-looking man with dark skin who had been waiting on the side, "Let's go."
After the man responded, he followed Bi Qionglan downstairs.
Once she left the teahouse, the lively sounds of the street outside finally made Bi Qionglan feel a sense of life again.
"Mother, shall I go and call a carriage?"
Bi Qionglan shook her head. "There are too many people today. Let's go outside to the street corner and talk."
Bi Dalang obediently walked ahead of Bi Qionglan, clearing the way for her.
Inside the building, Ding Mingxuan looked at Jiang Yijun, who was still sitting in her chair, raised his eyebrows, and asked tentatively, "Jiang Yijun, aren't you leaving? Do you want to join us? Or perhaps..."
Jiang Yiyun picked up her teacup and took a sip of the now-cold tea before calmly looking at Ding Mingxuan and saying, "Haha, I think what you said earlier was quite right."
We've traveled through time, so we can't let down the blessings of heaven!
The knowledge we possess, spanning thousands of years, is a great asset.
If I join you in this uprising and reap great benefits after it succeeds, what's wrong with following you?
Jiang Yiyun stood up. “However,” she said, looking sharply at Ding Mingxuan, “whether you and the people behind you have the ability to lead us to great heights is a matter that is worth discussing.”
After saying that, without waiting for Ding Mingxuan's reaction, Jiang Yijun strode towards the door.
"Hey, you..."
Ding Anbo was anxious and wanted to call out to Jiang Yijun, but Ding Mingxuan stopped him.
"There's no need to force it. She'll only truly join us once we've demonstrated a certain level of capability."
At this moment, Li San Niang had just parted ways with Xing Yu and Chang Siyuan. The three of them did not discuss anything about what Ding Mingxuan had said in the fellow villager building.
After all, standing on the street, surrounded by people, each with their own personal attendants, is not a place for a proper conversation.
"I'm thinking of opening a small restaurant in the West Market. I'll invite Lao Chang and San Niangzi to try the food later. Can you give me some advice?"
Chang Siyuan nodded, and Li Sanniang first nodded in agreement, then said, "I still need to go and meet up with my family. We'll talk again next time when we have time. See you later."
After exchanging greetings, the three parted ways.
Once they arrived at the carriage station and got into the carriage, Li Sanniang fell into deep thought.
"Ding Mingxuan is definitely up to something!"
He must be seriously mentally ill!
Why not just enjoy a perfectly good life instead of trying to accomplish some grand undertaking?
Has he been reading too many time-travel novels and started to think he has the aura of a king?
Please!
This is the Tang Dynasty!
It's the Tang Dynasty, the one that will exist in Chinatowns all over the world a thousand years from now!
Qiu Xiang saw that Li San Niang's brows were furrowed, her lips were tightly pursed, and her face was droopy, indicating that she was in a very bad mood.
After all, a conflict almost broke out in the fellow villagers' building just now.
Qiu Xiang had no idea that Li San Niang was inwardly cursing a thousand grass mud horses, her little mouth chattering away at Ding Mingxuan's unreliability.
Sitting on the carriage shaft, Nineteen couldn't hear the voices inside. However, as a martial artist with high skill, although he couldn't match Li San Niang's naturally keen senses, he could still hear that Li San Niang's heartbeat was a few beats faster than usual, even though he was so close.
This shows that Li San Niang was not in a very good mood at this moment.
Throughout the journey, Li Sanniang pondered the events at the fellow villager's building, Ding Mingxuan's purpose, the various behaviors of the other transmigrators, and the hostility Jiang Yijun displayed towards her...
Nearly an hour later, Li Sanniang and her group finally arrived at Chang Le Fang.
Chang Le Fang is really lively. Because Xing Qing Pond originated here, every Dragon Boat Festival, the number of people who want to watch the dragon boat races is so large that they can burst the gate of Chang Le Fang.
