Qi Yu’s face was twisted, and the muscles on his face were twitching. He said with a sneer, “You…you are seeking personal revenge. You…you are in power currently and you want to get back at me.”
Yang Ning smiled and said, while clapping his hands, “Well said. You are a smart guy, like I said. You are right, I am seeking personal revenge, and I am getting back at you.” Yang Ning stepped forward and said with a sneer, “I like the way you look right now, unhappy and helpless. So what? What are you going to do to me?” Seeing Qi Yu was clenching his fists, Yang Ning said, “It seems like that you are going to pick up a fight. Come on and bring it. I will never fight back. I will love it if you are going to give me a reason to drive you out of the mansion.”
Hatred showed in the eyes of Lady Qiong. She said in a cold voice, “Qi Yu, he is the earl. If he wants you to salute to him, you just make the salute.”
“Mother…!” Qi Yu turned and saw Lady Qiong sl
Yang Ning opened his eyes wide. He had thought this guy didn't mean what he said. Seeing that he was going to take off his pants, Yang Ning stated in a deep voice, “Your grandfather is the Minister of Rites. It will humiliate him if you take off your pants in front of others. If the news spreads, you will suffer more than having a wound on your butt next time.”Since Yang Ning finally spoke, Yuan Rong tidied up his clothes and had a big smile. He moved closer to Yang Ning. “I know you won’t misunderstand me, brother.”“Are you my sworn brother?” Yang Ning stared at Yuan Rong.Yuan Rong guessed Yang Ning was satirizing him and thought such a dull guy actually knew how to say something sarcastic. But he pretended to smile bitterly. “Are you still blaming me? Alas, no wonder you are unhappy. After the Marquis of Honor passed away, I have never come to give you a hand. It’s my fault indeed.”Yang Ning thought the rich men’s sons made f
The capital city Jianye was still heavily guarded, and the markets on the street or in the alley would be cheerless at dusk. But it was at noon, so people as well as carriages and horses came and went on the street continually and it was still bustling.There were many officials dressed in uniform and their carriages in the capital.Yang Ning was riding a horse on the long street beside the Qinhuai River. It was fashionable to ride a horse in the capital. The young noblemen liked to have their horses decorated in an outstanding and unique way, and even the scholars liked to ride on the street. It was a fashion trend in this city.The scholars and noblemen rode horses and passed by, with smiles on their faces, and they looked up automatically. They didn’t need to look aside or want to look down because the walkers would look up at them.They just watched the beautiful buildings and the gorgeous women inside.The talente
Yuan Rong helped Yang Ning up. Yang Ning felt his legs soft and almost couldn’t stand steadily. He was shocked and thought it might damage his body because he used the inner force in his anxiety and the meridians in his legs were injured. Would he become disabled?“Oh, dear. Look at this bloke. He is going to pee in his pants.” The guy who almost let his horse tread the child suddenly raised his hand and pointed at Yang Ning’s shaking legs. He laughed loud and seemed not to care that he almost killed a person.Yang Ning stared at that man and finally saw him clearly. The man was only 24 or 25 years old, dressed in light yellow brocade clothes. The bright-colored clothes were matched with the angry horse. He had a golden belt around his waist, with something around his head, a purple headcloth, not the white headcloth like the others.Apparently the headcloth was carefully made, with a red gemstone inlayed in the middle of the forehead and golde
Yang Ning looked at the voice source and found a group of servants wearing square caps and blue clothes rushing over, with twenty or thirty men. They all looked ferocious, and several in the front were dressed in grey clothes, with great momentum.The man in the front was strong and tall, with thick, powerful back and shoulders, grabbing the knife on his waist. Next to him, a young manservant in black pointed at the young man in yellow. “It’s him. This guy almost hurt Young Master.”“Whoosh!”The man put out the knife and waved it. “Bastard, how dare you? You are lawless. Surround them. Don’t let anyone escape.”The servants from the government rushed over like wolves and surrounded the young man in yellow and his followers in an instant. The attendants with white headcloths looked serious and had machetes in hands, guarding the young man.The strong man ran to the woman first. She held the child and saw the man coming
The bluestone road on the long street was not as hard as the rock, but the blade tip was inserted into the ground, and the martial skill was impressive. Many people had found that the knife was thrown from the crowd, so they looked at the direction, to see that some people made way on the street, and several men walked slowly out of the crowd.The man in the front wore black armor, about forty years old, and strode with momentum. Two soldiers with armor and knives followed him.Yang Ning was stunned to see the man in black armor and recognized him. He was the commander of the Tiger God Camp, Xue Lingfeng. Yang Ning had seen him at Qi Jing’s funeral.Xue Lingfeng looked cold and walked over slowly. Mr. Ximen frowned. The young man in yellow was standing beside the horse and hadn’t got on the horse’s back. He looked at that knife blankly and then raised his head to look at Xue Lingfeng before the latter walked to the knife penetrating the ground.
After King Shu’s heir and his people left, the crowd scattered gradually. Then Xue Lingfeng asked Yang Ning, “Your Excellency, don’t you know King Shu’s heir?”Yang Ning replied carefreely, “Why should I know him? Those whose courses are different cannot lay plans for one another. Even if I know him, I won’t make friends with him.”Xue Lingfeng smiled. “Your Excellency, you and General are much alike in character.” Mentioning Qi Jing, Xue Lingfeng showed a gloomy expression in his eyes and continued before Yang Ning replied, “The city is heavily guarded recently. If you don’t have something important, please try not to go out.”Yang Ning was clear that Xue Lingfeng said that to do good for him and thought the Tiger God Camp was the resource left by the Marquis of Honor. He nodded. “Thanks for your concern, uncle. I will keep that in mind.”Xue Lingfeng looked relieved and didn’t say more. Then he led his men to leave.
It was not that Yang Ning had improper thoughts towards the girl. He just remembered that he had bumped into somebody when he chased the elder in grey robe. He was in such a hurry that he didn’t have time to stop and apologize. That person seemed to be dressed in such green clothes. He planned to ask her, but he couldn’t come up right away as he saw the girl lowering her head.Hearing the girl inquire, the old man hurriedly came over. “Lady, are you interested in this daffodil?” He showed a thumbs-up sign. “You have great insight. You are an expert. You can look for such flowers on the street and it is hard to find daffodil at this season. On this street, there are no more than three plants of this.”The girl raised her head and responded, “I have checked shops on the street and found that you have this flower, so I want to ask how much it is.”“Girl, it appears that you really like it.” The old man laughed. “Since you are an expert, you must k
The old man nodded. “Sir, you have great insight. The crape myrtle is the treasure of my shop and the most expensive.” He turned to Yang Ning, but the latter smiled at Xiaoyao before he spoke. Yang Ning asked, “Xiaoyao, which one do you think is the king of flowers?”Xiaoyao walked to a flowerpot and her eyes were soft. “I think this fragrans is top-grade.”“Oh?” The old man smiled. “Lady, why do you think so?”Yang Ning saw the fragrans with pure white petals, which were even crystal-clear. Compared with the crape myrtle, it was not dazzling, but it was simple and clean, elegant with charm.“The fragrans is spotless and pure. It’s not as noble as the crape myrtle.” Talking about the flowers, Xiaoyao displayed a serious expression on her pretty face. “But flowers are like people. A person’s moral quality has nothing to do with his family status. Only somebody who is innocent and experienced, without distaining his heart with selfis
