They had never heard of Little Swallow, and those who were deep in thought didn't understand what she meant.
The tall man was furious. Why was the stall owner so happy about buying something, and why was he so overjoyed?
What's there to be happy about?!
"Going to the market to buy food, if I buy a lot of things, the stall owner will be overjoyed, and I will be overjoyed to have bought what I want to eat."
Seeing the two people looking completely confused, Shen Nian patiently explained the situation to them.
Let's make this a defeat that we can all understand.
"You two girls, are you looking for death? Do you know how high my martial arts skills are? I can knock you down with one punch."
The tall man lost face and lost his temper. He was so angry that he raised his fist and threatened Chen Nian and Xiao Yanzi in front of him.
Standing at the back, Qing'er and Yongxuan couldn't stand still when they saw what was happening in front of them. They subconsciously stepped forward, wanting to walk to Chen Nian's side.
Ertai, standing next to Shen Nian, could only silently withdraw his outstretched hand when he saw Xiao Yanzi's hand already touching the hem of Shen Nian's clothes.
Upon hearing the tall man's words, Xiao Yanzi pulled Chen Nian back behind her and then prepared to take out her whip.
You can say she's good, but you can't say Niannian is.
"Hey, Little Swallow, we need to take a ferry. There are so many cars, horses, and people, it's going to be a hassle. Our goal is to rent a boat, not to fight with anyone."
Since Benjamin had finally taken the initiative to talk to her, Xiao Yanzi naturally couldn't ignore him. She glanced at Chen Nian beside her, and then at Benjamin, who was trying to stop her.
She was torn. Banjiu was right, but she just couldn't bear to see Niannian being bullied.
“Little Swallow, the dove is right. Besides, he’s just a paper tiger, only good for scaring people.”
Seeing the difficulty in Xiao Yanzi's eyes, Chen Nian tugged at Xiao Yanzi's sleeve and began to persuade her. The last sentence was whispered in Xiao Yanzi's ear.
How could she not know that Xiao Yanzi wanted to take action because of her?
But she really didn't think anything of it. The person in front of her was just faking it, threatening her. Having been threatened and beaten so many times in her past life, she could easily tell whether the other party was really going to make a move.
Even if he were to actually fight, he wouldn't dare. Besides, with so many people around him, how could he allow himself to be bullied?
"Fine, I'll listen to Niannian this time and won't argue with you guys, hmph."
Chen Nian's words successfully made Xiao Yanzi put down the whip, glare at the tall man opposite her, and utter the last word in a huff.
...
“Sir, Benjamin forbids me from using my slingshot. How about you use it to demonstrate your archery skills from last time? Or, we have bows and arrows in our carriage, so you two can kill two birds with one stone? Let them see what real skill is.”
Little Swallow took out the slingshot she was carrying and handed it to the Emperor, tentatively suggesting it, her eyes filled with expectation; she was still unwilling to give up.
She dared to threaten Niannian, ahhhhh, she was still not reconciled.
She can't discipline them, but she can let the Emperor teach them a lesson.
Hearing Xiao Yanzi's words, Shen Nian also looked at the Emperor expectantly. She had never seen a real-life version of shooting an arrow through a willow leaf from a hundred paces away, and this time she would finally be able to witness it with her own eyes.
Noticing everyone's gaze upon him, especially the expectant looks in the eyes of the two girls beside him, the Emperor raised an eyebrow, then nodded and took the slingshot that Xiao Yanzi handed him.
Under everyone's expectant gaze, he raised his hands and fired a remarkable shot.
"call out---"
