Chapter 168 My Black Cat Doesn’t Bite
Hong Longfei and Liu An did not go with the trip to the capital this time. The two elders disliked the chaos of the capital and thought it was not as peaceful as Qingquan Village, so they wanted to stay here to look after the house.
Xiao Jingxuan and Ye Tang went with them. It was good to have two old people looking after the family.
Ye Tang also took the black panther Xiaoqi out.
The carriages to the capital were prepared by the people from the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion. There were five carriages in total, which were spacious and comfortable. Especially the carriage that Ye Peng, Ye Tang, Ye Ping'an, and Xiao Jingxuan were in, which was even larger and had soft couches inside, so not only could they sit, they could even lie down and sleep.
Although the people at the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion had arranged the carriage very comfortably, Ye Tang still felt very tired after the long journey. Too tired!
It’s so tiring to travel far away during the Yuan Dynasty!
It would be great if there were airplanes and high-speed trains.
"How many days have we been away?" Ye Tang numbly lifted the car curtain and looked outside.
Jamel Xiao yawned: "It's the seventh day. Uncle Fang said that there is a city three miles ahead. We can take a good rest."
Ye Tang asked: "How far is it from the capital?"
Ye Ping'an held up a finger: "Uncle He said that at our current speed, it will take at least another month."
Ye Tang just felt a headache all over his body: "I want to play in that city for two more days."
The capital is too far away!
This snail-like traffic really made her sad!
Soon after, the carriage entered a city called Xuzhou, which was twice as large as Tianan Prefecture and was one of the five richest cities in the Yuan Dynasty.
Ye Tang and his group found the best inn to stay in.
"Boss, bring up the best food in your store." Ye Ping'an took out a silver note and placed it in front of the shopkeeper with great generosity.
It feels good to spend money lavishly.
The shopkeeper was very happy to see the banknote, but the next second, he was shocked: "It's so big, so black, so black..."
Ye Tang stroked Xiao Qi's head and smiled at the shopkeeper: "Don't be afraid, shopkeeper. My cat doesn't bite people."
The shopkeeper looked at the black panther, which was many times bigger than the black cat, and broke out in a cold sweat: "This is not a cat."
How could there be such a big cat?
Ye Tang said seriously: "It is a cat. It just grew so big because I took care of it so well."
Shopkeeper: “…”
Ye Tang and others were having lunch in the lobby. There were other guests here, so they could listen to some gossip.
Ye Tang asked his servant to prepare a large bowl and some raw meat for Black Panther.
The black panther is so huge and looks so majestic that it really attracts attention. Many guests in the lobby will look over here.
"What a big cat."
"What cat? That's a black panther."
"Black Panther?"
Many people here have never seen a black panther. They think it is extremely rare, but they can't help but take a few more glances. They secretly guess the identities of Ye Tang and his group, and then they change the topic.
"The daughter of the richest family in Xuzhou, Guo, is holding a martial arts competition in the north of the city to find a husband. Do you want to go and see the fun later?"
"Miss Guo? There are five young ladies in the Guo family. Which one are you talking about?"
"Of course it's Miss Guo Si!"
"Ah! That disaster star!"
"Although she is a disaster star, she is still the daughter of the richest man and a legitimate daughter. There are still many people who want to marry her."
"You want to marry?"
"I do, but Miss Guo doesn't think highly of me. She wants to marry someone who is both civil and military."
"There are not so many people in this world who are both good at literature and martial arts. It's really crazy."
When Ye Tang and his group heard these words, Ye Tang's eyes immediately lit up, and he quietly pulled Xiao Jingxuan: "You are free anyway, let's go and join in the fun."
Ye Pingan said: "I want to go too."
Ye Peng burped and said, "I want to sleep. I won't go anymore."
Jamel Xiao: "...I want to sleep too."
Ye Tang looked at him and said, "You've been sleeping in the car. If you continue to sleep, you'll be exhausted. It's time to move around!"
Not long after, Ye Tang, Ye Ping'an, and Xiao Jingxuan left the inn with six guards of the Duke of Protectorate.
When they arrived at the north of the city, they saw a group of people heading in one direction. Ye Tang and his friends knew without any guessing that those people were going there for the martial arts competition to win a bride, so they hurriedly followed them.
The Guo family built a large martial arts arena in the north of the city. At this moment, there were countless spectators below the stage. A man and a woman were fighting fiercely on the stage. The man was holding a knife and the woman was using an iron whip.
The iron whip in the woman's hand was like a silver snake. It wrapped around the man's knife, snatched the knife away from him, and then forced the man off the arena with another whip.
"You lost!" The woman was dressed in red, with a bright face, a flamboyant smile, and a proud air, just like a female hero in the martial arts world.
The man clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, Miss Fourth Guo, for your guidance."
After the man left, the woman said to the crowd in a wolfish voice: "Who else wants to come up? I can fight you again today."
"Sister, she is so beautiful." Offstage, Ye Ping'an looked at the woman on the stage with his eyes lighting up.
Ye Tang nodded: "It's very beautiful, but also very powerful."
She glanced at Ye Ping'an: "Do you like it?"
Ye Pingan shook his head: "I just admire her, I can't say I like her. If you have time to talk about love, you might as well make more money."
Ye Tang touched his head and said, "It's good that you don't like her. You are still young, and it is not a good thing to get married too early."
While the brother and sister were talking, another man came up to challenge Miss Guo, but he was knocked off the stage in less than ten moves.
Ye Tang looked at the whip in Miss Guo's hand with shining eyes: "She is really good at whipping."
The daughter of the richest man in Xuzhou actually learned such a good whip technique and doesn't look like a spoiled young lady at all. It's really rare.
It is true that people still need to go out once in a while, as it can broaden their horizons and allow them to meet many wonderful people.
"No one is here to challenge me?" Miss Guo stood on the stage and looked down at all the men in the audience: "Can't we find a man who can fight in Xuzhou City?"
Someone in the audience said unwillingly, "Miss Fourth Guo, if you really want to get married, just pick a suitable one among us. Why bother fighting here? Who would dare to marry you if you are so fierce?"
Fourth Miss Guo was not angry either. She smiled at the man and said, "It's none of your business. You are a defeated general!"
The man was angry: "You..."
Fourth Miss Guo sneered: "What do you mean by 'I'? If you lose, just go home and don't embarrass yourself here."
The man was furious: "You are such a shrew, you are really going too far."
Fourth Miss Guo: "You are a weakling, you bark when you can't beat me. If you don't get out of here, I will have the guards chase you away!"
The man cursed a few more times, and Miss Guo Si simply waved her hand and called a few guards to drag the man out.
Fourth Miss Guo looked at the crowd and said, "It's getting late. Today's contest for a bride has come to an end. The contest for a bride lasts for three days. Today is the first day. For the next two days, warriors from all sides are welcome to fight. I will accompany you to the end."
After she finished speaking, she jumped off the stage and walked away gracefully, with a smile on her face as beautiful as a peony.
"I really like this kind of personality." Ye Tang admired it: "What a unique personality!"
This Fourth Miss Guo looks no more than fourteen years old, not even reaching the age of marriage. Why is she arranging a martial arts competition to find a husband?
After Fourth Miss Guo left, the crowd dispersed. Seeing that there was nothing good to watch, Ye Tang and his companions went shopping.
It was getting dark. There was no curfew in Xuzhou City, so the night was very lively. This liveliness would last until the early morning. Men, women, young and old in the city would come out to play at night.
The more Ye Ping'an walked around, the more he felt that the streets of Xuzhou City were nice: "Sister, sooner or later I will open a store in Xuzhou City."
Ye Tang waved his hand: "No hurry, let's go to the capital first."
She has a lot of inventory in her space, and she will definitely be able to make a lot of money in the capital.
"You are so despicable, let me go..."
A few people were strolling around when they suddenly heard a strange sound. They looked in the direction of the sound and saw two men molesting a woman in an alley.
