Chapter 281 Dispersed

The unfinished battle between Zhao Hu and Zhang Long began again.

The tiger-headed broadsword and the long sword began to collide again, and sparks flew everywhere.

Although the fight was lively on the field, in the eyes of Li Xuan and the eunuchs in flowery clothes, the two were just playing house.

The rough moves and the superficial blood and qi power were really not in the eyes of these masters of the palace.

But even so, now was not a good time for them to intervene.

Princess Ankang and Princess Yuanan watched with relish.

The scene in front of them was not something they could see in the palace, and Zhao Si and Hou San were obviously angry. If they were asked now, they would definitely not get the reason.

It would be better to let them fight to a conclusion, and then continue to ask them the reason.

But in just a short while, the battle between Zhao Hu and Zhang Long was almost over.

The tiger-headed broadsword in Zhao Hu's hand could no longer be swung with great force.

Although his moves were powerful, Zhang Long, who was using a long sword, dodged them flexibly and then waited for an opportunity to counterattack.

Such a battle rhythm made Zhao Hu's physical strength deplete quickly.

If they hadn't appeared unexpectedly before, Zhao Hu would have been defeated long ago.

Although Zhao Hu had a chance to catch his breath while talking just now, it was obviously not enough.

Now that they started fighting again, he was immediately in danger again.

"He's almost dead."

Li Xuan shook his head silently and made a judgment on the battle in front of him.

As expected by Li Xuan, there was a "bang" sound, and the long sword in Zhang Long's hand blocked Zhao Hu's tiger-headed broadsword.

The tiger-headed broadsword fell to the ground, and Zhao Hu's feet softened and he half-knelt down.

At this time, the long sword flashed cold light like a poisonous snake spitting out its tongue and went straight to Zhao Hu's throat.

Zhao Hu closed his eyes and cried in his heart: "My life is over!"

But at this critical moment, there was a sharp "whoosh" sound, followed by a loud "bang", and the long sword in Zhang Long's hand fell.

Not only that, he covered his wrist and retreated repeatedly, with a flush on his face, obviously not feeling so good.

Zhang Long immediately glared and looked in the direction of Princess Ankang and the others.

And Yu'er, who was beside Princess Ankang, was throwing something at this time. Obviously, the flying stone just now was thrown by her.

Yu'er had interrupted Zhang Long's killing move in time at the signal of Princess Ankang.

The flying stone thrown by Yu'er was so powerful that it not only knocked down Zhang Long's long sword, but also injured his wrist.

You should know that Yu'er has not yet broken through to the physical strength realm, but Zhang Long's apparent strength has already reached the marrow training realm.

Ninth grade vs. seventh grade, although Yu'er was a sneak attack, it was also a remarkable achievement.

It can be seen that the gap between the two is not that big.

"Bold!"

Hou San was furious when he saw that his victory was destroyed by someone.

Although he did not see what happened before, he still looked at Princess Ankang with Zhang Long's eyes.

Yu'er had just retracted her action at this time, so Hou San naturally found out who was making trouble.

"You said you were not here to help this fat man. You want to bully the few with your numbers, right?"

Although Hou San's side was full of defeated soldiers, they were not weak in momentum at all.

"Alas, Master Hou San misunderstood."

Princess Ankang said with a smile, very politely.

"Although it is a physical fight, there is no need for blood to splash three feet, right?"

"Otherwise, it is always a troublesome thing if someone dies."

If Yu'er had not stopped the sword just now, Zhao Hu's throat would have been pierced.

They had walked through the first and second floors of Cuihua Tower before, and thought that the two playboys were just fighting, but they didn't expect that someone would die.

Princess Ankang saw that the situation was not right, so she prompted Yu'er to help.

Although the eunuchs in flowery clothes were more skilled in martial arts, Princess Ankang could not be sure that they would immediately execute her orders.

Especially before, Zhao Hu had committed suicide and offended these eunuchs in flowery clothes.

After listening to Princess Ankang's words, Zhao Hu looked at Princess Ankang and Yu'er with gratitude and nodded to them.

If it weren't for the blow that just knocked away Zhang Long's sword, he would be dead now.

Zhao Hu was still frightened and sat on the ground, panting.

Zhang Long glanced at Zhao Hu on the ground, then silently covered his wrist and retreated to Hou San's side, looking like he couldn't continue to fight.

But Hou San didn't give up after listening to Princess Ankang's explanation.

"We have signed a life and death agreement. If we die, we die. The government can't do anything to us. Why do you, a little girl, have to meddle in other people's business?"

Hearing Hou San's rude words, Yu'er's pretty face turned cold. She walked in front of Princess Ankang and protected her, looking ready to teach Hou San a lesson at any time.

The eunuchs in flowery clothes beside them also stepped forward and immediately surrounded Hou San.

At this time, Hou San was surrounded by only three guards with little fighting power. Seeing their aggressive momentum, he was shocked and shouted in a shrill voice:

"What do you want to do? What do you want to do!"

"I, Hou Chisi, am the son of the Minister of Personnel. How dare you be rude to me!?"

Hou San's voice was harsh, but his body honestly hid behind the guards.

Princess Ankang was not annoyed. She looked at Hou San and said with a smile: "Blood splashed here will only cause trouble to the shopkeeper of Cuihua Tower."

"Now that the winner has been decided, why doesn't Master Hou San take the victory and leave?"

It doesn't matter who asks this question, Princess Ankang doesn't care who gets the answer from.

If Hou San doesn't know what's good for him, at worst, he can be sent away and Zhao Si can be asked again.

This can also gain the trust of another person.

So, for Princess Ankang, no matter how the situation changes, it will not have much impact on her.

I didn't mean to be too rude to the two dudes in front of me, I just wanted to hear more truth from them.

"Okay, okay, I'll remember you, be careful in the capital from now on!"

Hou San stared at Princess Ankang and said something harsh, then looked at Zhao Si.

"Zhao Si, the winner is decided today."

"According to the agreement, you are not allowed to step into Hu Yulou again."

"If you don't keep your word..."

"Hmph, you know the consequences."

Hou San snorted coldly and was about to go downstairs with his men.

Princess Ankang waved her hand and asked the eunuchs in flowery clothes to make way.

After Hou San left, they were even easier to talk to.

Seeing them make way obediently, Hou San was even more proud and walked downstairs with a cuckold step.

Zhao Hu struggled to get up from the ground, then bowed to Zhao Si and apologized:

"Master, it's all my fault that I'm useless and let you suffer with me."

Zhao Si sighed, waved his hand and said:

"Forget it, it's not like I haven't lost before, I'm still alive, I'll get back at you later."

Zhao Si's words surprised Li Xuan and the others.

"Oh, this fat guy has some humanity."

Li Xuan thought that according to Zhao Si's previous dandy mentality on the street, he would definitely vent his anger on Zhao Hu and other guards, but he didn't expect him to be so generous and just waved his hand as if nothing had happened.

Zhao Si asked his three guards to stand up, and then took them to Princess Ankang and Princess Yuanan.

"My two sisters, I am grateful for your kindness."

"Although there were some conflicts between us, we are still close friends."

Zhao Si said, reaching into his arms, taking out two bills, and taking a step forward, directly stuffing them into the hands of the flower-dressed eunuch.

Li Xuan could clearly see that they were two large bills of 100 taels of silver.

This made Li Xuan raise his eyebrows and think:

"This fat man is really generous."

Two hundred taels of silver is not a small amount. Although Li Xuan didn't know how much the monthly salary of the flower-dressed eunuchs was, it would probably take a lot of time to save up two hundred taels of silver.

And Li Xuan also clearly saw that the expression of the flower-dressed eunuch was not as cold as when Zhao Hu threw him fifty taels.

But the flower-dressed eunuch still kept a paralyzed face and did not show any emotion.

He took the silver in his hand and immediately knelt down to present it to the two princesses.

This scene made Zhao Si take a closer look.

Even the guards around him didn't follow such rules, which made him start to guess the identities of the two girls in front of him.

The fabrics of their clothes were not cheap, and the guards behind them were also very strong, probably not from ordinary families.

However, he knew all the prominent figures in the capital, but it was the first time he saw these two girls.

Zhao Si was also glad for his caution at this time.

He didn't give the silver notes directly to the two girls before, but to the eunuchs in flowery clothes who seemed to be guards. There was also knowledge in this.

If these two girls were really rich or noble, he took out two hundred taels of silver to thank them, which would be a slap in the face, while giving it to the servants would be a reward of thanks.

Which prominent family lacked these two hundred taels of silver?

In this unclear situation, it is better to thank them verbally first.

Princess Ankang and Princess Yuanan looked at each other and saw what was in each other's eyes.

Seeing Princess Ankang nodding to her, Princess Yuanan said to the flower-dressed eunuch: "Since it is Young Master Zhao Si's intention, you should accept it."

Since Princess Yuanan had spoken, the flower-dressed eunuch could not refuse this proposal in front of outsiders.

"Thank you, Miss."

After thanking her, the flower-dressed eunuch neatly put the banknote into his arms, and then stood back to his original position as if nothing had happened.

Seeing that the master and servant were so polite, Zhao Si couldn't figure out the bottom of these two girls. At this time, he was a little annoyed that he had a conflict with the other party's guards on the road before.

Zhao Si was thinking about how to ease the embarrassment, and Princess Ankang took the lead and said:

"Master Zhao Si, I wonder what exactly caused the fight today?"

Princess Ankang had helped him out before, so Zhao Si did not hide it now.

"Alas, you two sisters don't know that Hou San and I have had many conflicts on weekdays, and we are also frequent customers of Cuihua Tower."

Li Xuan and the others had talked to the shopkeeper of Cuihua Tower before, so they naturally knew what the frequent customers meant.

Zhao Si and Hou San were not frequent customers who came to eat, but frequent customers who came to smash the store.

"It's actually nothing to say. Hou San and I both like a new Hu Ji in Hu Yulou."

"Ahem..."

Perhaps remembering that this topic is not suitable to talk about with girls, Zhao Si coughed a few times and concluded neatly:

"It's just jealousy, it's actually nothing big."

Princess Ankang and Princess Yuan'an looked at each other silently after hearing this simple reason, and they were speechless.

But think about it, what serious business can there be between two playboys.

"So that's how it is."

Princess Ankang smiled and didn't comment on it.

When they were playing in the East Market before, they also saw many places of fireworks.

It was still daytime, but there were already a lot of people and it was very lively.

I'm afraid it will be a grand scene at night.

There are many places for seeking flowers and asking for willows in the East Market, and the level is relatively high.

No wonder Zhao Si and Hou San, two playboys, would fight for a new Hu Ji in the brothel.

"Thank you very much today, sisters. If you need me in the future, just tell me."

"I, Zhao Si, still have some reputation in the capital. Just ask someone and you will know where I live."

"I have to take these guards back to recuperate, so I won't stay for long."

"In a few days, I will host you and thank you two sisters."

"I'll leave now. See you again if we're lucky!"

Zhao Si said a few polite words in a hurry, and then led people downstairs, leaving in a hurry.

Li Xuan and others watched their backs quietly as they left, and no one said anything more.

"Sister, is this clear now?"

Princess Yuanan asked Princess Ankang.

To be honest, she had never realized before that her sister was so gossipy, and she had to ask so clearly about the conflict between the two playboys.

In Princess Yuanan's opinion, it was really boring.

Princess Ankang smiled slightly, and saw Princess Yuanan's dissatisfaction.

"Hehe, sister is tired of accompanying me. I will treat you to delicious food later."

Princess Ankang said with a smile.

But she said so, but her eyes couldn't help but look at the stairs again.

The originally lively Cuihua Tower gradually became quiet, and it seemed that the guards on the second floor also left.

But Princess Ankang always felt that what happened today was a bit too coincidental.

Zhao Si and Hou San both have good family backgrounds. The assistant ministers of the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Personnel are not small officials, and they also hold important real power.

Don’t these two families know that they went out of the palace to investigate the case?

Princess Ankang is not sure whether there are concubines from these two families in the harem.

But it makes no sense that no one would inform these two families of this news.

“It’s getting more and more interesting.”

Princess Ankang didn’t care much about the investigation, but now she thinks it might be a good idea to investigate.

She feels that this month’s competition is not as simple as she thought.

“Sister, what are you thinking about?”

Princess Yuan’an shook her hand in front of Princess Ankang, waking up Princess Ankang who was in a daze.

Princess Ankang came back to her senses, smiled mischievously, and then said:

“I’m thinking about what to treat my sister to later.”

“This is my first time treating a guest as a sister, so I can’t be too stingy.”

Princess Yuan’an knew that Princess Ankang didn’t think about these things at all, but she was too lazy to care.

“Then let’s go quickly, I’m hungry again.”

Thanks to “天使爱説笑” for the reward support.

Thanks to all the book friends for their monthly ticket support.

Bai Miao's computer crashed, and it took a long time to fix it. I wrote this chapter on my phone.

My mentality also crashed, and I'm not satisfied with what I wrote. I'll try to make up for the number of words in the next few days.

I didn't expect that this time, the number of words reached 10,000 a day, but it crashed on the second day, and today I almost stopped writing.

I'll fix the computer tomorrow, otherwise I'll write on my phone for the next two days.

Sorry to keep you waiting for so long.
