Under the shocked gaze of the shopkeeper and Zhou Hui, Ning Siyan actually threw the six villains onto the street.
This naturally caused a commotion outside. When those people saw the faces of the six people lying on the ground, they all scattered like birds and beasts. It was obvious that this group of people had been doing evil in Shimotsuke Castle for a long time.
Zhou Hui was depressed. This outsider looked like a greenhorn. No matter how good your martial arts skills were, could you compete with the army of Daxia?
They can easily kill a Saint!
If the two of you sit here, won't you bring disaster upon yourself?
The shopkeeper seemed quite courageous. He squeezed his hands hard on his apron. Before he could say anything, Fu Xiaoguan took out a silver note worth one thousand taels from his sleeve pocket and placed it in front of him.
"Give us a pot of good tea, and then you can go. This banknote will probably make up for your loss."
The manager was immediately overjoyed. He hesitantly put the banknote away, a smile plastered across his face. "Then... I won't be polite to you, sir."
Zhou Hui thought about it and decided that he couldn't die for his daughter.
So he cupped his hands and said helplessly, "Sir...it seems you are a man of considerable status, but I still want to advise you: if you want to mess with anyone, don't mess with a soldier!"
"Why?" Fu Xiaoguan laughed.
"They haven't read much. When a scholar meets a soldier, he can't explain his reason clearly. They don't listen to reason, so they just compete to see whose fist is harder... My young master seems to have a strong fist, but it can't be stronger than the number of people!"
"Besides, this is someone else's territory. I'd better advise you to leave!"
"I appreciate your kindness, but I just want to see if there is such a dark place in this bright and clear world of Great Xia."
Zhou Hui grinned and thought to himself that this was really a simple young man.
"Daxia has many dark places. Although our emperor works hard to govern, there are still places he cannot see. I am carrying my daughter and do not want to die. Thank you for your help, sir. Farewell!"
“No!”
Zhou Hui led Lu'er away. Lu'er looked back every few steps, thinking that the big brother was so powerful.
"Dad, isn't Big Brother afraid?"
"...Lu'er, people should know how to seek benefits and avoid harm, and bend when necessary. He has encountered such things too rarely. Ignorance is fearless."
"But why do I feel that what Big Brother did was right?"
"We'll come back later to collect their bodies. The right things... often come at a high price."
…
…
Fu Xiaoguan and Ning Siyan were the only two people left in the huge Chunyun Teahouse.
Fu Xiaoguan made tea. Ning Siyan looked outside the door with some concern. "Your Majesty, this is too risky!"
"If I really misjudged He Sandao, you have already entered the Saint level. Remember, kill him!"
"But how can his life be compared to yours? Besides, how can I explain this to the Empress, the ministers in the court, and the people of the world when I return like this?"
"Don't worry, doesn't the Marine Corps still have Tang Qianjun? He's the grandson of Tang Zhuguo. There's no way he'd learn bad habits from He Sandao. Besides..." He picked up the teapot and poured two cups of tea, handing one to Ning Siyan, "Besides, I firmly believe that He Sandao, that small landlord, will never change. Even if he wanted to, the Sixth Miss of the Zhong family would never allow him to have even the slightest idea."
"So it was that Qi Changhao who deceived He Sandao?"
"It's very likely that He Sandao is mainly focused on arresting the Marines. He doesn't have the time to take care of the entire Third Marine Corps. It's normal for his subordinates to have some trouble. Just like me, I can't guarantee that all the officials under me are honest, right?"
Ning Siyan didn't know how to persuade him. He felt a little uneasy. He Sandao was lawless. If he stepped down and became the king... this matter would not end well.
Fu Xiaoguan was not careless. He knew better than Ning Siyan that human hearts were unpredictable, so he let the shopkeeper go.
The old shopkeeper of Chunyun Teahouse was a spy from Tianji Pavilion. He gave him a silver note, which contained a secret message for Tang Qianjun - if He Sandao really had any ill intentions, Tang Qianjun would take control of the Marines and eliminate He Sandao here.
But this is something Fu Xiaoguan absolutely does not want to see.
He recalled the time when he met He Sandao outside Jianmen City. He liked this guy very much because he was a man of character. He always treated He Sandao as a brother and he never believed that He Sandao would betray him.
The two drank tea quietly. After another stick of incense, a noise came from outside:
"Get out of my way!"
"Seventh Master is working, and you lowly people dare to watch?"
"Curfew! Everyone go home. I'll give you a cup of tea, or I'll kill you!"
Fu Xiaoguan picked up the teacup, Ning Yuchun looked outside the door and took out two Mauser rifles.
He calmly loaded the two guns and placed them on the table. "If someone breaks in by force, should we kill them or not?"
"Of course I'll kill him."
"good."
The noise outside grew louder and louder, followed by the sound of horse hooves, gunshots, curses, and wailing.
"Your Majesty, please hide."
"It's okay, I have a gun too."
Fu Xiaoguan took out the small gun and placed it on the table. He suddenly laughed, "Siyan, that's why no matter how bright the sun is, there are always places where the sun can't reach."
"I've just been thinking about what the storyteller said. He's traveled a lot and seen a lot more than us. He said there are many dark places in Daxia, and there must be places I can't see."
"It's actually a good thing that I encountered this today. I've been careless these past two years." He took a deep breath. "I thought I was already a formidable emperor. I thought the country of Daxia was under my control. I thought all the officials were working diligently for the people of Daxia."
"Now it seems that this is not the case. The Third Marine Corps has a Seventh Master who dominates one side. Who knows if there will be an Eighth Master or Ninth Master in some other sect."
Ning Siyan felt that this was quite normal. There had never been such a clean and honest administration in all dynasties. The emperor in front of her had actually done a very good job.
Fu Xiaoguan raised his eyebrows and said, "Once in Jinling, the old Prime Minister Yan Beixi once said that when the water is too clear, there will be no fish... Now it seems he was right. I was too idealistic. If they come, kill them!"
As soon as Fu Xiaoguan finished speaking, Ning Siyan raised her gun.
"Bang...!" A gunshot rang out, and a man who looked like a general who had just stepped into the threshold fell down.
"Who the hell has the guts to kill Captain Zhang? Brothers, come on, surround this teahouse and kill everyone inside! This is Master Qi's order!"
A group of soldiers rushed in with guns drawn. Ning Siyan fired both guns at once. In a burst of gunfire, he knocked down five more people. He put down his gun, drew his broadsword, and was about to rush out to kill, but suddenly he heard a loud roar outside:
"Who the hell gave you the guts to come here and disturb people? Who's in charge here? Get out here!"
"Everyone, retreat back here and put down your guns, or I'll kill you right now!"
"I'm He Sandao. You guys are so brave! Everyone, get out of the city and return to the team!"
