Chapter 402 Luo Jingfeng's Arrogant Speech

Shen Yibai was happily thinking about riding a big horse to the tribute temple.

As a result, he was frightened by Luo Jingfeng's call and immediately turned into a terrified persimmon. He held his mother's hand tightly, fearing that if he let go, it would be forever.

Zong Jincheng said to Luo Jingfeng in dissatisfaction: "You are too fierce. You scared my brother."

Luo Jingfeng was very confused: "How can this be considered fierce? I didn't beat him or scold him."

Zong Jincheng: “…”

You set the standard for viciousness very low.

Seeing that time was running out and Shen Yibai was still retreating, Luo Jingfeng strode over, grabbed the screaming Shen Yibai and threw him onto the horse's back.

Shen Yibai was even more frightened: "Help... Mother... Help, save me, help..."

In fact, Mrs. Shen was also frightened when she saw Luo Jingfeng, but as Luo Jingfeng said, he was not fierce and had no malicious intentions, so she did not stop him.

No one blocked their way. Luo Jingfeng took the two children to the horse, and he also got on the horse and grabbed the reins, saying, "Let's go to the tribute courtyard!"

Zong Zhao and Buyan each rode a horse and carried the other three young boys over.

Shen Yibai was sitting at the front, with Zong Jincheng between him and Luo Jingfeng, but he still screamed in fear: "Jincheng, this horse is so tall and runs so fast, are you afraid of heights?"

The little devil laughed and said, "What's so scary about this? It's not even as high as the second floor of our study. Look, the scenery on both sides is quite nice."

"Ah... is this how you compare it?" Shen Yibai's hand covering his face was slightly exposed, and he saw the scenery flashing by in front of him. It was indeed more beautiful than what he saw when he was riding a slow horse before. "Huh? It's beautiful."

Luo Jingfeng listened to what the two boys said, hummed and laughed, "If you like it, I'll give you one when you grow up."

As soon as Shen Yibai heard this, he knew that this was not meant for him. Zong Jincheng quickly asked, "Can't you send it now?"

Luo Jingfeng refused: "You are too young to ride now."

The little devil explained: "But Buyan can take me to play."

Luo Jingfeng thought for a moment and said, "That won't work either."

"Why?!" Zong Jincheng began to feel that he was unreasonable. He promised to send her off, but then refused to do so. He was not trustworthy.

Luo Jingfeng smiled slightly: "If you want to ride, come to me and I'll take you to play."

"Humph," Zong Jincheng stuck out his tongue at him, "You're so stingy. I'll save up money and buy it myself!"

Luo Jingfeng sneered: "If you can buy it, it's up to you."

Zong Jincheng: “…”

Judging from his tone, it was most likely some southern specialty sent by the King of Zhennan, something that even the royal family couldn't get.

Forget it, forget it, he doesn't want it anyway. It will be even more painful if he falls off a big horse!

Gongyuan was located in the suburbs of the capital city. There was no village in front and no shop behind, and there were no pedestrians or merchants blocking the road, making it just the right place for them to ride fast.

Zong Jincheng was happily chatting and joking with Shen Yibai along the way and was in the best mood. But when they were almost reaching the destination, the smile on the little devil's face suddenly froze.

He asked with a trembling voice: "Uncle...father, have we brought our luggage for the tribute ceremony?"

"What bag?" Luo Jingfeng asked in surprise.

Zong Jincheng and Shen Yibai were struck by lightning.

Shen Yibai was the first to yell, "It's over, it's over. I think I forgot to bring my luggage. We have to take the exam for nine days. Without the luggage, we can't even survive three days."

Their bags had been packed long ago and were placed in the general's mansion. No one had brought them to the city gate, nor had anyone mentioned them, as if they had been forgotten.

Zong Jincheng trembled and said, "Perhaps, perhaps our bags have been delivered to the gate of Gongyuan? Once we get there, we can go in directly with our bags on our backs..."

Shen Yibai cried and said, "But my father and grandfather have gone to court, and my mother and aunt are also at the city gate. Who will wait for us at the gate of Gongyuan?"

Zong Jincheng was also a little panicked when he heard this.

Luo Jingfeng understood what they were talking about, raised his eyebrows and said, "So you're talking about the luggage for the exam? If you don't have it, then don't bring it. I can buy five for you later, right?"

The little devil was confused: "Ah? Can I still buy this?"

Shen Yibai was also confused: "When I took the exam for the Tongzi exam before, I didn't see anyone selling luggage at the entrance of the Gongyuan."

Luo Jingfeng snorted and said arrogantly: "Since every student who wants to enter the Gongyuan has to bring a bag, then buy it from other students."

Zong Jincheng's excitement subsided again. He refused, "Each student can only bring one bag with them to the Gongyuan. After they sell it to us, they will not be able to enter the Gongyuan. They can only wait another three years to participate in the autumn examination."

Luo Jingfeng said nonchalantly: "Then let them wait another three years."

The little devil king yelled at him, "Why should they give up their own three years to make way for us? This is not fair."

Shen Yibai also wanted to nod, but when he nodded halfway, he saw that the person above his head was Luo Jingfeng, and he pressed his stubborn head back.

Luo Jingfeng sneered: "Boy, what's fair or unfair about this? I'm not robbing, I'm buying. Do you understand what buying means? I offered one thousand taels, and there are many people who want to exchange these three years with me. They sold it voluntarily. Can you blame me for this?"

"you……"

Luo Jingfeng continued, "Do you think everyone takes the imperial examination just to become an official? Do you think everyone can pass the imperial examination? I just let them take the examination again in three years, but I can give them 1,000 taels, which can make them have no worries about food and drink for the rest of their lives. How dare they scold me for being unfair?"

The proud Lord Protector of the State was full of disdain and did not accept the accusations made by his nephew at all.

Zong Jincheng and Shen Yibai were both reasonable people. Their analysis did make sense. If they met someone like that who was waiting for money to save his life, they would probably be grateful to Luo Jingfeng.

But Zong Jincheng still said stubbornly: "Your attitude is not good either. You are condescending and it's like you are giving alms. You don't respect others."

Luo Jingfeng sneered: "Attitude? What's the use? Just because I'm high and mighty and won a battle, I'm not a meritorious official of the court? Just because others sell the country in a pious and humble manner, they're good people? Attitude is worthless. I can do whatever I want."

Zong Jincheng plugged his ears numbly: "Okay, stop talking. It affects my Taoism."

Shen Yibai explained weakly for him: "If we answer the questions in the autumn examination according to this idea, we will probably fail..."

Luo Jingfeng was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.

The little devil put a little more strength into plugging his ears.

The entrance to Gongyuan.

Luo Jingfeng's horse arrived at the place first. He took the two children down and was about to buy bags for them.

At this moment, a voice suddenly came: "Jincheng, Yibai, you are finally here, grandma was almost dying of worry!"

Zong Jincheng turned around and saw the old marquis and the old lady, as well as the countless servants behind them and the five bags they were carrying...

The little devil ran towards them in ecstasy: "Grandma, Grandpa, you are here! And you are waiting for us in the tribute courtyard!!"
