On the third day after they arrived in the capital, Huo Dong took Liu Yuhan and Huo Nan to visit the old prince.
It was Liu Yang's first time to visit such a prosperous place as Beijing, so naturally he wanted to take a stroll. Beijing was so lively that Liu Yang couldn't even take in the sights.
He wanted to use his military pay to buy some gifts for his family. Now that he was a garrison commander, his monthly salary was a full twenty taels, and he would also receive fifty kilograms of rice every month.
His family no longer needed him to send money, and asked him to use it to buy more food during his vacation. But he couldn't spend that much, as he had saved a lot of money.
He was walking around alone and saw that the hair ornaments sold by street vendors were very delicate and beautiful, so he wanted to buy some for his sisters Liu Yao and Liu Yun.
Before he even reached the stall, he heard shouts of alarm coming from far away: "Scatter! Scatter! The horses are startled! Get out of the way!"
A carriage rushed towards this side out of control, some stalls were scattered, and people were scared and hid to the side.
An elderly woman selling eggs was slow to move and reluctant to put down her basket. Seeing the carriage about to hit her, Liu Yang instinctively ran over, quickly pulled the woman away, and ran to catch up with the out-of-control carriage.
A stall in front collapsed, and the carriage staggered and slowed down. Liu Yang took the opportunity to grab the carriage frame, used his feet as brakes, and forced the carriage to stop with his own strength.
The crazy horse was not so easy to control. It shook off the shackles on its neck. Liu Yang ran to the front, jumped on the horse, and used his great strength to pull the horse's neck. The horse screamed and gradually stopped struggling due to exhaustion.
Liu Yang jumped off his horse and made eye contact with the woman who walked in front of him. Isn't this the Miss He I met yesterday?
"Miss, Miss, how are you?" The coachman ran to the carriage.
After a while, two girls with messy clothes and hair came out of the carriage. One of them was dressed as a lady, wearing silk and satin and with gold hairpins on her head, and the other was dressed as a maid.
"Thank God, the young lady is okay." The maid said anxiously.
"A Ping, what's wrong with you? Why is our horse frightened?"
"I don't know either. If it weren't for this brave man's help, I don't know what would have happened! Thank you very much, brave man!"
"Wow, this young man is really amazing. He can control the horses by himself."
"Mom, this brother is really amazing. He is really strong."
"Yes, thanks to him..."
Everyone was talking about it, most of them were looking at Liu Yang and praising him. Liu Yang scratched his head and felt a little embarrassed.
The woman called Miss tidied her hair and clothes. Her face was flushed and she walked towards Liu Yang with a pair of shining starry eyes.
"Sir, thank you for saving us. May I ask if you are married?"
"You're welcome... I'm not getting married." Liu Yang was a little confused and answered her question automatically.
"What do you think of me, sir?" the woman said shyly.
"I'm also unmarried. I feel like we're destined to be together. Would you consider..."
"Miss!" The maid interrupted her hurriedly.
"Isn't this the young lady from the Lan family who is eager to get married..."
"Yes, it seems to be Miss Lan. She loves heroes the most and will not marry anyone other than a hero..."
"Sir, please say something..." The girl still didn't give up.
Liu Yang was completely stunned! What was going on? Was this girl asking him to marry her? He was just helping her pull the cart, so he had to marry her? Are all girls in Beijing so open-minded? This… this was impossible.
"Let's go, Brother Liu, didn't you say you wanted to go shopping?" Seeing his dazed look, He Qingchuan subconsciously pulled his sleeve and spoke to rescue him.
"What?! Didn't the young master say that he is not married? Who is this woman..." The girl from the Lan family was heartbroken. She finally met a hero... Her family had a lot of money, so she could pay any amount of betrothal gift.
He Qingchuan saw the commotion on the street and was about to take action, but unexpectedly Liu Yang made the first move. His entire aura changed instantly, and his movements were swift and brave. How could he be so dull just now?
But he is indeed very strong, otherwise how could one person pull a galloping horse?
After they walked away, Liu Yang embarrassedly grinned at He Qingchuan with his big white teeth.
"Thank you, Miss He."
"It's a piece of cake. Master Liu is quite skilled. May I have the honor of sparring with you?"
"Ah... this... I'm a little too strong, I'm afraid of hurting the girl."
"I'm also a martial artist. Let's go to the moat. Consider it your repayment for the favor I just gave you."
On the way, Liu Yang was drawn to the beautiful flower hairpins again. He called Miss He and began to carefully select them. He was having trouble choosing, so Qingchuan helped him pick. Each of his two younger sisters bought five flowers, and he also bought two exquisitely handcrafted wooden hairpins for his mother and grandmother.
"Thank you, Miss He. Everything you picked looks great. My sister, grandma, and mother will definitely like it."
"Yeah. Don't you have to pick a girl you like?"
"Ah...what girl do you like?"
Seeing him like this, Qingchuan smiled and walked forward. Liu Yang followed behind her, keeping a distance of two meters.
This idiot.
When they reached a deserted place in the moat, Qingchuan clasped his fists towards him and attacked him. Qingchuan's movements were quick and his moves were clean and neat. Liu Yang dodged left and right but refused to fight back.
"Punch!"
Qingchuan hit him in the vitals, but Liu Yang caught her punch and didn't fight her with all his strength. This woman was really strong, she caught all his punches.
Liu Yang became more and more excited as he beat her. He unconsciously mistook her for Huo Nan, who wanted to control him. He grabbed her hand with one hand and hugged her chest tightly from behind with the other arm, making her unable to move.
