Chapter 219: Stunned
The eyes of the local tea drinkers were very strange, ranging from anger, depression and confusion.
That kind of confusion is not hidden at all, and it is an emotion that can be understood at a glance.
The foreign nobles here were stared at inexplicably, and no one liked to be surrounded by such gazes.
One of them, Zhou Peng, the son of the Minister of Justice's family, couldn't help but said, "What are you looking at?"
"I'm wondering why you gentlemen are so pedantic." The person who answered was the storyteller.
“You say we are pedantic?” Zhou Peng said in disbelief. The folding fan in his hand was pointed directly at the storyteller, "An old scholar from a border town. At this age, I am afraid that he has not even been admitted to the scholar's exam, so he is willing to degenerate into a sideshow of storytellers. His stomach is full of low-quality ink. How can he have the courage?" Call us pedantic.”
No one else would be happy to be eliminated in this way. The job of storyteller is very prestigious in Beiyuan City, especially the storyteller who tells the stories produced by Si Yefu is still in public office and is very popular among the people of Beiyuan City. their love.
The storyteller had a cold expression on his face, and the expressions of the tea guests beside him were also not good-looking.
“Young Master, what you said is very unpleasant.”
"Storytelling is just a sideshow."
"If you don't want to listen, why bother to hurt others with your words."
"I thought someone from the imperial city must be well-informed and elegant. Remarkable. The result is not good, and he has little knowledge.”
The foreign young men, including Zhou Peng, were also embarrassed by such comments.
“You evil people from border towns!”
"I don't know what to say."
Seeing the conflict between the two sides aroused.
The shopkeeper quickly came out to mediate.
"Everyone calm down, calm down, otherwise, everyone's tea money will be free of charge today."
The shopkeeper came to Zhou Peng and said kindly: "This young master I’m so sorry.”
Zhou Peng snorted coldly. He was about to say that apologizing was useless, but he heard the shopkeeper's next sentence: "If you and your friends don't like the stories told in the teahouse, there is no need to embarrass yourself and continue to stay here. How about changing to a place you like?" Let's get together."
Zhou Peng heard the meaning and said angrily: "You are in a hurry. I'm leaving!"
The shopkeeper said: "What did you say? I just don't want you to get angry after drinking tea."
He said. He looked like he was thinking about Zhou Peng and the others, but Zhou Peng and the others were not fools. How could they not understand that they were chasing people away.
I think they are all sons of aristocratic families in the imperial city. Neither father nor brother in the family is a high-ranking official in the court. They are traveling with the monarch this time, which is a matter of face for Beier.
The people in this barren border town may only have the opportunity to meet a noble person once in their life, but they don't know how to treat him with caution and even speak rudely.
“Evil people!” Zhou Peng shouted.
He was originally a dandy in the imperial city, and he dared to secretly commit crimes under the emperor's feet. At this time, he did not even think about restraining himself, and kicked the shopkeeper in anger.
He was an adult, wide and fat. If he kicked him hard enough, he would have to stay in bed for ten and a half months.
The shopkeeper didn't expect that he would suddenly make a move. He was so frightened that he jumped to the side, but he reacted quickly and avoided it.
Zhou Peng, who hadn't kicked anyone, couldn't hold back his strength. The sound of tearing and the screams of people sounded at the same time, and Zhou Peng was forced to do a one-shot.
Everyone in the teahouse was stunned by this series of changes. After looking at Zhou Peng's embarrassed appearance, they realized and burst into laughter.
"Come, come!" Zhou Peng shouted miserably.
He had a boy and a guard with him, and now the boy hurriedly helped him.
Zhou Peng, who looked pale and blue, shouted angrily at the guards, "Catch them all and send them to the government office for disposal!"
The guard hesitated. With so many people in front of him, which one should he catch first?
Zhou Peng: "Why are you still standing there!"
Seeing that the master was angry, the guards had no choice but to move and decided to arrest the shopkeeper first. The incident happened in this shop, and it was the shopkeeper who injured the owner.
“Here comes someone.” The shopkeeper didn’t take it easy.
Four thugs from the teahouse came in response and fought with the approaching guards.
Originally, the guards did not take these four thugs wearing bunts seriously. Such a rabble had not even practiced serious internal martial arts. No matter how many they came, they were just a rabble.
Punch to punch.
Guard: "..."
What's going on with this brute force! ?
The arm, the arm is going to be broken.
In a four-on-one situation, the guard was detained on the ground in just two breaths.
Not to mention Zhou Peng's face turned red with anger, the other young men who were about to watch the show were also dumbfounded.
And the comments of the people in Beiyuan City made them even more embarrassed.
“Is this the way the Imperial City’s guards are?”
"There aren't many people who can fight."
"With this level of ability, I feel like I can even fight."
"I'm so disappointed. Is this the noble man from the Imperial City? Beginners of Lianfu School. They are all more reasonable than them."
Zhou Peng and others: "..."
It turns out that unintentional ridicule is more hurtful than other people's intentional ridicule.
The doubts on the faces of these local people were so genuine, indicating that they were really wondering why the people from the Imperial City were so imbecile.
There are many examples like this on the streets of Beihara City, but not all of them are as serious as the teahouse.
Differences in humanities, differences in status, differences in outlook, and differences in various aspects can easily cause conflicts between the two parties.
After reading a few times, Zuo Si vaguely understood what Mi August meant, but he still needed to confirm with Mi August.
"Let them stay for a while and let the people of Beiyuan City get along with them up close, so that they can personally experience that the nobles in the Imperial City are not as perfect as they thought, and then they will be in awe of those nobles. The humble thoughts will also fade away, which is more effective than asking them to not fear the imperial power."
"Such a difference will make them more clearly aware of how precious the favor given to them by the God Lord is, and they will gradually have a clear picture of who is better and better between believing in our Lord and fearing the imperial power. In turn, those imperial cities Visitors will also understand the power of God through personal contact, which will be of great benefit to future preaching. "
The more Zuo Si said, the clearer the ideas in his mind.
"The Emperor of Yi State brought these dandy boys to Beiyuan City and let them wander around Beiyuan City, fearing that they might be tempted. The fourth prince was not a fool, nor did he know the world between spiritual masters and mortals. Even though they are different, they take the lead and It is also a trial for the disciples of Si Yefu to fight together."
"The ultimate beneficiary of this game is us."
After finishing speaking, Zuo Si felt refreshed and looked again. The lively scene in the streets of Beiyuan City is also pleasing to the eye.
Mi August said: "There are many talented children in Beiyuan City. After being baptized by Lingxi Flower, their physical fitness and inspiration have been enhanced in all aspects, but the training time is not enough."
Zuo Si: "His Highness said Children also include Others besides the disciples of Si Yefu?"
Mi August nodded and said with a smile: "Don't you think those children are a little carried away?"
Zuo Si agreed very much, still feeling in his heart. Envy, jealousy and hatred cause trouble.
Mi August said: "The melee on the training ground just served as a wake-up call for them, letting them understand that talent alone is not enough, ordinary and powerful warriors can also defeat them."
Zuo Si didn't see the melee, but it was not difficult to guess.
The disciples of Si Yefu can definitely defeat the royal guards, forget about the young masters like Qiao Huai, and what Mi August said was referring to Qiao Huai’s novice children.
“Yizhen has accomplished a good thing for us in advance.” Mi August said with a smile, “After this fight, you will choose people to go to Lingzhou for training. Those little guys will not mess around here for the time being. I have made up my mind and will study harder.”
