Movie: Get Alpha Dog at the start

Chapter 838: Unexpected Encounter at Shura Field
"Sister, what is Fan Xian doing? Why is he suddenly acting stupid?"

Fan Ruoruo gave him a fierce look, then said to Fan Xian worriedly, "Brother, are you really okay?"

"It's okay. Aren't we here to eat? Let's order some food. I'm hungry." Fan Xian calmed himself down and forced a smile.

By the time Fan Xian finished ordering the dishes, Versace's eyes were already dazed, and he was muttering: He might as well be stupid, how much is this going to cost?

Qin Hao secretly laughed in his heart. Logically speaking, a second-generation official like Versace, who lived a life of luxury, should spend money like water and live a luxurious life. However, this guy was just like a first-generation rich man who had made his fortune from scratch. He was so stingy that it made people laugh and cry.

Versace was depressed for a while, then suddenly picked up the copy of Dream of the Red Chamber that Fan Xian had just bought and asked cautiously.

"Fan Xian, did you really write this book?"

"I've already said that this book was written by Mr. Cao Xueqin. I just copied it down."

Fan Ruoruo didn't believe his words: "I asked my grandmother, there is no Mr. Cao in Danzhou at all, this book was written by my brother."

Fan Xian smiled bitterly. These days, no one believes the truth.

Seeing that Fan Xian agreed, Versace immediately became interested. He took the copy of Dream of the Red Chamber and began to describe his business idea. His words stunned both Fan Xian and Fan Ruoruo.

At this moment, Versace seemed to see countless silver coins flying around in front of him, and he could make a fortune just by stretching out his hand.

However, at this moment, there was a noise downstairs. A group of evil slaves drove away all the women who were selling "Red Mansion" on the street and stole all their books.

"Sir, they've all been driven away."

A young man in gorgeous clothes walked out of the sedan chair. As soon as he appeared, Teng Zijing clenched his fists.

Fan Xian looked at him in confusion. Teng Zijing glanced at Qin Hao, then leaned close to Fan Xian's ear and said, "This man is Guo Baokun."

Although Teng Zijing spoke in a very low voice, Qin Hao was a ninth-grade master, so he could not escape his ears. However, Qin Hao had no intention of exposing Teng Zijing's identity.

In the world of Joy of Life, no matter whether it is the four great masters or those famous ninth-rank masters, the vast majority of people do not care about right or wrong when they act, they only care about benefits.

If there is one person in this world who can be called a "hero", it must be Teng Zijing.

At the beginning, a couple accidentally soiled Guo Baokun's clothes and were beaten with blood in their faces by Guo Baokun's servants. Teng Zijing saw the injustice and came to their rescue, but was later falsely accused by Guo Baokun's servants. Ironically, the other party's witness was the couple that Teng Zijing saved.

Afterwards, Teng Zijing was sentenced to death. It was the Inspection Institute that saved him, but the price was that he had to serve the Institute.

Originally, after Teng Zijing was released, he wanted to seek revenge on the couple, but when he saw that they were poor and struggling to survive, he chose to let go of his hatred.

Teng Zijing may not be a martial arts master, but he is definitely the best hero in the world of Joy of Life.

Guo Baokun, who was living downstairs in Yishiju, held the Dream of the Red Chamber in his hand and severely criticized the book. The reason for doing so was very simple. Guo Baokun was the son of the Minister of Rites Guo Youzhi and was a member of the prince's party. On the surface, the prince and the eldest princess were in the same party.

Emperor Qing had already said that whoever marries Lin Wan'er would be able to control the inner treasury's financial power. The Crown Prince had come up with another plan when one failed. He was really desperate for his aunt. After all, lust is a sword hanging over one's head.

Versace was dreaming of opening a bookstore with Fan Xian and making a fortune, but when he heard Guo Baokun belittling "A Dream of Red Mansions" as worthless and threatening to ban it, he became furious and went downstairs to argue with Guo Baokun.

The natural result was that he was humiliated by Guo Baokun's guards. Fan Xian was already very angry with Guo Baokun after hearing about Teng Zijing's experience, and the two sides immediately started fighting.

At this time, Fan Xian was already a seventh-rank warrior. Guo Baokun's guards were naturally no match for him and were knocked away by Fan Xian in one go.

"Stop it, fighting in the street, don't you take the military department seriously?" Qin Hao shouted.

Guo Baokun breathed a sigh of relief and quickly cast a grateful look at Qin Hao.

"Commander Qin, Fan Xian beat up my guard in the street. Please help me."

Qin Hao was speechless. How could Guo Youzhi give birth to such a stupid son? Couldn't he see that he was standing with Fan Ruoruo?

"Master Guo, the editors in the palace seem to have no control over whether books can be published. Your evil slave committed a crime in the street and robbed women and children. According to the laws of Qing, he will be punished with caning and imprisonment at the least, or exile at the worst."

As soon as he finished speaking, the women around him who had their books stolen and were holding their babies all cheered.

"Master Qingtian, Commander Qin must make the decision for us."

"Commander Qin, they are robbing us. We must not let them off easily."

Guo Baokun was originally happy to think that Qin Hao would make the decision for him, but he was dumbfounded.

Qin Hao jumped down from the restaurant, walked up to Guo Baokun, and whispered, "Mr. Guo, your guards are no match for him, and you are not in the right. It is difficult for me to help you in broad daylight. You should withdraw for now and say hello to Minister Guo for me."

Guo Baokun thought the same and quickly thanked Qin Hao, "Thank you, Commander Qin, for your leniency. I will definitely pass on your message."

After saying this, he left with a few guards without looking back.

Qin Hao said to the women holding their children, "Take these books back. Stay away from people like this next time."

"Thank you, sir."

The women left with many thanks.

When Fan Ruoruo upstairs saw this scene, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and two shallow dimples appeared between her cheeks.

Versace said indignantly: "Brother Qin, why didn't you arrest Guo Baokun's guards just now and sentence them to exile or something?"

Qin Hao shook his head and said, "The Military Affairs Department is not in charge of trying cases. Even if they arrest someone, they can only send him to Jingzhao Prefecture. By then, Guo Baokun can use his connections to get him out. Maybe innocent people will be implicated. These women who come out to sell books with their children must be poor. If they are involved in a lawsuit, their families may be destroyed."

Fan Xian agreed with this and sighed, "Yes, in a prosperous world, the people suffer; in a declining world, the people suffer."

"What a great sentence: When a country prospers, the people suffer; when a country perishes, the people suffer. Brother Fan not only has brilliant writing skills, but also has such a compassionate heart."

A handsome and noble man walked out of a carriage and walked towards Qin Hao and his party with a smile.

Although Versace was uneducated and unskilled, he was considered a local boss in the capital. He quickly saluted the visitor and said, "Greetings, His Royal Highness, the Prince of Jing."

"Who is the Prince of Jing?" Fan Xian asked Qin Hao quietly.

"Prince Jing is the younger brother of the current emperor. This Crown Prince has a close relationship with the Second Prince. Judging from his attitude, he should be coming for you." Qin Hao revealed.

"Thank you." After saying this, Fan Xian also bowed deeply to Prince Jing's son Li Hongcheng.

Li Hongcheng nodded with a smile, and then bowed to Qin Hao and said, "It is rumored in Kyoto that the commander of the Military Department has the talent to govern the world. In just three months, the capital has been completely renewed. Today, judging from what Commander Qin has done, he deserves these four words."

"Your Highness, thank you for your kind words." Qin Hao said calmly. His main goal now was not to offend anyone. Before he had the strength to contend with Emperor Qing, he would not show up to attract the attention of this old villain.

Li Hongcheng didn't care. His purpose today was to attack someone else.

"Master Fan is so talented in writing. Tomorrow, his family will hold a banquet to host a poetry gathering. All the talented scholars in the capital will be present. Master Fan should give me a favor, right?"

Fan Xian immediately thought of the chicken leg girl: "Are there any women participating?"

"Of course, all the noble ladies in the capital will attend."

"That's no problem, I'll be there."

Li Hongcheng:
After the farce ended, Qin Hao and his party went upstairs to eat. After eating and drinking, Fan Xian pulled Fan Ruoruo to whisper something. Qin Hao heard it clearly. Fan Xian asked Fan Ruoruo to cover for him and not let others find out that he was not in the carriage when he went back.

"Versace is easy to fool, but what should we do with Brother Qin?" Fan Ruoruo was a little embarrassed.

Fan Xian thought so too. Just when he was in a dilemma, Qin Hao came over and said, "I'll keep my mouth shut. How about you owe me a favor?"

"How did you hear it? I spoke so quietly and you were so far away." Fan Xian was dumbfounded.

"You'll know when you advance to the ninth rank." Qin Hao patted Fan Xian's shoulder.

Fan Xian's mouth twitched: "Aren't you an eighth-rank? When did you advance to the ninth-rank?"

"Who told you that I'm an eighth-rank?"

Fan Ruoruo did not forget to add a stab at this time: "Brother, Brother Qin is the youngest ninth-rank master in our Nanqing, as famous as the Saintess Haitang Duoduo of Northern Qi. He is the one with the best chance of becoming a grandmaster among the younger generation."

Fan Xian sighed softly, "Girls can't be kept when they grow up."

"Brother, what are you talking about? I'm ignoring you!"

Fan Ruoruo ran downstairs with a red face.

Qin Hao, Fan Xian, and Fan Sizhe also went downstairs and got on the carriage soon. When the carriage reached an alley, Fan Xian quietly jumped off the carriage. Fan Sizhe was startled and pointed at Fan Xian: "Why did he jump off?"

"Shut up. Don't tell anyone about my leaving today."

Versace said unconvincedly: "Why?"

"If you don't listen, I will tell Dad that you let the servants attack my brother today." Fan Ruoruo glared at him, and Fan Sizhe obeyed obediently.

Qin Hao couldn't help laughing when he saw this scene. It was really pitiful for a child to grow up under the shadow of his sister.

The carriage moved forward and when it reached a narrow intersection, it suddenly met an oncoming carriage.

Sitting in the carriage happened to be Lin Wan'er and her best friend Ye Ling'er.

"Wan'er, Fan Xian is in the carriage opposite. Why don't you just tell him in person and ask him to cancel the engagement?"

"Okay, thank you Ling'er."

"Hey, why are you being so polite to me? Just wait."

Ye Linger got off the carriage carelessly, walked forward and said loudly: "Excuse me, is Mr. Fan from Danzhou here?"

Fan Ruoruo's heart tightened when she heard this: "Oh no, this is the carriage of the princess of the Lin family."

Then he turned to Versace and said, "Don't make any noise, or you'll reveal that I'm not in the car."

Versace covered his mouth and nodded repeatedly.

After saying that, Fan Ruoruo got off the carriage and walked in front of Ye Ling'er.

"Miss Ye, I haven't seen you for a while. How are you?"

Ye Linger looked at the carriage behind her: "Miss Fan, I'm not here to chat with you today. Is Mr. Fan from Danzhou in the carriage?"

"I wonder what Miss Ye wants to see my brother about?"

"The Princess of the Lin Family invites Master Fan to see her."

Fan Ruoruo looked a little flustered, and hurriedly said: "My brother just drank a lot of wine, I'm afraid he can't meet with the princess, for fear of losing etiquette."

Lin Wan'er in the carriage was a little disappointed when she heard this, but Ye Ling'er was a person who would not give up until she achieved her goal, so she spoke in a tough attitude.

"It's just a few words, it's nothing serious."

As he spoke, he waved his hand and pushed Fan Ruoruo away. Just as she reached out to lift the curtain of the carriage, someone grabbed her wrist from inside.

Ye Ling'er was shocked. Now she was already a seventh-rank warrior, and was already a leader among the younger generation. If she were not a girl, she would have entered the official career long ago. The person who could hold her wrist silently must be at least an eighth-rank master.

Besides being surprised, Ye Ling'er also felt competitive. She turned her wrist, and her smooth arm slid silently from the opponent's hand like a nimble snake. At the same time, she used a move called "Pushing the Moon Behind the Door" to smash behind the curtain.

Ye Ling'er was confident in this move. Although her realm was one level lower than her opponent's, she used her Bagua Palm technique to overcome the enemy with softness. Many strong men who fought against her for the first time suffered losses.

However, when the opponent slapped out with his palm, an equally soft palm force came and directly knocked Ye Ling'er back.

After taking three steps back, Ye Ling'er finally stopped.

Qin Hao's appearance made Ye Ling'er's eyes widen. She glared fiercely at Fan Ruoruo next to her. At the same time, she gritted her teeth and rushed towards Qin Hao with her palm raised.

Ye Ling'er had a graceful figure, her short red dress fluttering in the wind, her black hair draped over her shoulders like a waterfall, her steps were as light as a swallow, and she performed the Bagua steps. Her figure kept changing like she was dancing, and the people watching on the side cheered.

Facing Ye Ling'er's constant approach, Qin Hao remained motionless as a mountain. He waited until Ye Ling'er slapped him from behind before he slightly turned sideways. Ye Ling'er's palm wind caused Qin Hao's green shirt to flutter without wind, but he was not hurt at all.

Ye Ling'er was not discouraged. Her palms changed and flew left and right, and the speed of her palms became faster and faster. However, Qin Hao still dodged slowly without even raising his hands.

Teng Zijing, who was driving the carriage pretending to be Fan Xian's bodyguard, suddenly discovered that Ye Ling'er's pace was exactly the same as Qin Hao's.

"do not fight."

Ye Ling'er launched more than ten attacks in a row, but she didn't even touch the corner of Qin Hao's clothes. She stopped attacking angrily, but stuck close to Qin Hao and asked, "Why are you in her carriage?"

Fan Ruoruo blinked, looked at Ye Ling'er, then at Qin Hao, and her face suddenly fell. Girls' intuition is always very accurate. Although she didn't know what the relationship between Ye Ling'er and Qin Hao was, from the tone of her voice, it seemed that it was not simple.

"I just had a meal with Fan Xian at Yishiju. Fan Xian drank too much, so I wanted to see him off. Is there anything wrong with that?"

Ye Ling'er thought about it and realized that Fan Xian was still in the car and there seemed to be nothing they could do. She couldn't help but smile, but then she said aggrievedly, "Then why didn't you come to see me after returning to Beijing for so long?"
