Chapter 284 Isn’t it better?
After Shen Yicheng entered Lingnan, he heard all kinds of words praising Jiang Tangtang, but he didn't believe that a woman could really have such great ability.
At this moment, looking at Xiao Xian, who was covered in dust and obviously not valued, his heart was filled with suspicion.
His joke did indeed irritate Xiao Xian.
If Xiao Xian was initially forced to surrender due to the situation, he also had some thoughts in his mind.
But as he spent more and more time in Lingnan, he admired Jiang Tangtang more and more.
Especially this year's drought.
While other kings were thinking about how to fight wars and occupy more territories, Jiang Tangtang was wholeheartedly serving the people and thinking about how to save them.
Despite the severity of the drought, not a single person died of starvation in Lingnan. Although agriculture was not as prosperous as before, it was not in chaos.
From planting kelp, to forming a fleet to go out fishing, to now looking for wild rice to be grown on mudflats, everyone is doing their best to fight the drought.
He also went looking for wild rice sincerely, hoping to do his part during the drought.
It didn’t matter if Shen Yicheng insulted him, but he couldn’t tolerate insulting Jiang Tangtang like this.
Xiao Xian didn't bother to endure and get more information from Shen Yicheng, and punched him.
"You're crazy!" Shen Yicheng didn't expect Xiao Xian to be like a madman. He started fighting as soon as he said he would, and fought back quickly.
He didn't take Xiao Xian seriously at first.
The two men's kung fu skills are similar, but my condition is obviously much better than his, so it would be easy to beat him.
But after a few rounds, Shen Yicheng’s expression changed.
Because their kung fu skills were equally matched, the emperor only gave him the surname of the country and not himself, which made him very dissatisfied.
But during this fight, he clearly discovered that Xiao Xian's kung fu had improved.
He was caught off guard and was hit in the face by Xiao Xian's iron fist. A tooth was instantly broken and his cheek swelled up rapidly. He ignored the pain and was filled with surprise, "How did your kung fu improve?"
Xiao Xian was secretly surprised. How come his kung fu improved without him noticing?
He has been busy climbing mountains and crossing rivers recently, looking for wild rice, and has not had time to practice martial arts. How come his martial arts skills have improved instead of declined?
But how to improve is not the point, the point is to beat him.
At first, Shen Yicheng was able to resist, but later on, he was completely abused unilaterally. "Xiao Xian, you don't really have feelings for that Madam Jiang, do you? I just said a word about that woman, and you're defending her like this. Did you sleep with her?"
Xiao Xian's attack became more and more ruthless, "Shen Yicheng, don't insult Madam Lu. Madam Lu has great talent, far beyond the reach of ordinary men. Your head is full of filth, I look down on you."
Shen Yicheng fell to the ground. "How can a woman like her compare to a man who stands tall and proud? And you still say that you are not mesmerized by her beauty. Xiao Xian, since you and I grew up together, I advise you not to be confused."
"I'm advising you to clean the shit out of your head." Xiao Xian said, and then he punched Shen Yicheng again. Shen Yicheng finally couldn't bear it and fainted.
After knocking the man unconscious, Xiao Xian sat down to catch his breath.
He was furious and insulted Jiang Tangtang with foul language, but when he calmed down, he couldn't help but think about Xiao Ye.
Shen Yicheng was indeed right about one thing. It was Xiao Ye who trained him, and all his kung fu skills were thanks to him. After he turned to Jiang Tangtang, he was indeed sorry for him.
If one day...
If they meet on the battlefield one day, he will definitely give his life to him as compensation.
However, if he follows Jiang Tangtang and sees the vast mountains and rivers of the Great Zhou become like Lingnan, he is willing to be an ungrateful person first.
Xiao Xian spat a mouthful of blood onto the yellow earth.
Although Shen Yicheng was eventually knocked down, Shen Yicheng's kung fu was not bad, and he still suffered internal injuries after this fight.
"Boss...what's wrong with you?" Peng Yang and his men finally found Xiao Xian, but they saw a person lying on the ground from a distance. Xiao Xian was holding his chest and spitting blood. He was so scared that he peed and shit, and rushed over howling.
Xiao Xian waved his hand, "No problem!"
At this moment, Shen Yicheng, who had fainted, woke up and came over. Peng Yang pulled out the big knife from his waist and was about to chop him, "Did this bastard hurt you? I'll kill him!"
“Don’t!” Xiao Xian stopped him, and knocked Shen Yicheng unconscious, explaining: “This is Shen Yicheng, there is still use for him.”
"What did you say? Is this Shen Yicheng?" Peng Yang looked carefully at the pig-headed man in front of him. What surprised him more than Shen Yicheng coming to Lingnan was that Shen Yicheng was beaten like this by their leader.
"Boss, has his Kung Fu declined?"
Xiao Xian and Shen Yicheng had fought in front of them countless times before, and the two had always been evenly matched and it was difficult to tell who was better.
Peng Yang subconsciously felt that his opponent's kung fu had regressed.
Xiao Xian patted him and said, "How many times have I told you not to call me boss anymore?"
"Yes, Brother Xiao." Peng Yang then remembered the guards who came with him and quickly said, "Brother Xiao, Madam gave me some medicine. I'll see if there's anything you can use."
Jiang Tangtang's accompanying guards brought a relatively complete set of medicines, and they quickly found several medicines to treat external and internal injuries.
Peng Yang bandaged his wound while he was still thinking about how worried they were that he hadn't returned for a long time. Then he couldn't help but wonder, "Brother Xiao, why is he alone?"
"There should be a few more, but I got rid of them." Xiao Xian didn't know the other party's moves at first. He just felt based on his intuition that someone was following him, so he kept leading the other party's people in circles.
In the end, the others were all left behind, and only Shen Yicheng caught up.
Xiao Xian bandaged the wound hastily, then stood up and said, "First, take the man back to Madam. The rest... I'll let Madam make the arrangements."

On the other side, the few people who were left behind by Xiao Xian accidentally discovered Jiang Tangtang's whereabouts.
Several people immediately wanted to take action and kidnap Jiang Tangtang, but were stopped by Cui Jun.
"What? Your Cui family also wants to rebel?" Xia Qi glared at Cui Jun with a smile.
Cui Jun suppressed his anger and explained, "You guys alone are no match for her."
"Don't look down on me!" Xia Qixiao felt extremely humiliated. "She only has two guards close to her. If we catch her first and threaten her life, those people won't dare to move."
Even without Jiang Tangtang's threat, he didn't think they would lose. They were not inferior in skills, and their numbers were not much different from the other side. The key was that they could quickly summon a large number of helpers.
Cui Jun asked, "Do you think she's that easy to catch? If she were that easy, how could your earlier mission fail?"
"That's because they rebelled!" Xia Qi smiled in disdain, thinking that he must not be that kind of person.
Cui Jun saw that this man was very confident. His previous arguments were not convincing him. He could only ask, "So, after you catch him, how are you going to get out?"
Xia Qi smiled and raised an eyebrow, "Don't we still have your Cui family?"
Cui Jun's solar plexus throbbed with pain. "This is inconsistent with our original plan. We can't leave Lingnan while holding her hostage."
"Actually, we don't have to go to Lingnan." Xiao Ling, who had been silent the whole time, spoke up at this moment: "If we capture her, wouldn't it be better to take the opportunity to negotiate terms with Lu Shiyan?"
