The prince of heaven only wants salted fish

It was late at night when the night of the courtesan ended. The lanterns on the largest painting boat were extinguished, and the guests who came to watch left one after another.

Ji Cheng's painting boat had not yet left, waiting for the courtesan boat to deliver the courtesan named "Li Niang".

Bai Xiaosheng's face was disheveled in the wind, and his voice was trembling: "You, you, you really want to take it?"

Ji Cheng hummed: "Three thousand taels of silver have been spent, and you don't take her away. Do you really think I'm stupid and rich?"

Bai Xiaosheng: "..."

To be honest, he did feel a little bit.

Then he remembered that he also accepted three thousand taels of silver from this person - even one tael less than the other party paid for the courtesan.

Bai Xiaosheng: "…………"

He simply changed the subject: "What about the East Gate to the South?"

The painting boat next to the East Gate to the South had been withdrawn, but this did not mean that he was going to let it go. Bai Xiaosheng knew without looking that there must be many people from the East Gate family watching nearby.

Bai Xiaosheng thought about it and suggested: "Why don't we just reveal our identities?"

Even if Ju Yicheng's identity as the leader of the martial arts world is useless, the power of Mingju Villa behind him is real! Although Mingju Villa is not among the four famous sects, its invisible power and connections are no less than those of the four sects. It is really a bit presumptuous for a mere Dongmen family to want to fight with Mingju Villa.

Ji Cheng said: "No."

Bai Xiaosheng: "Why?"

Ji Cheng said lightly: "Because I am a runaway like you."

Bai Xiaosheng: "??? You are also a runaway with a hand of three thousand taels?!"

We all ran away from home, why is the treatment so different? !

Bai Xiaosheng scratched his head: "What should we do? Or let's run away quickly!"

The sound of conversation and notification came from outside, and a moment later, a servant escorted a woman in.

The woman still had a veil on her face, and there seemed to be mist between her eyebrows and eyes: "Li Niang, meet the young master."

Ji Cheng glanced at her: "Take off the veil and have a look."

Li Niang lowered her eyes and agreed, raised her hand to take off the veil, revealing a beautiful face.

It is difficult to say that her face is absolutely beautiful, but there is an extremely special temperament. When she stands there, she will unconsciously attract people's attention. With a pair of autumn water-like eyes, I feel pity for her.

Even Bai Xiaosheng couldn't help but praise: "This Dongmen Xiangnan has a good eye."

Li Niang was not the most important among the courtesans who performed just now, but the more she looked at her, the more she felt different.

Ji Cheng asked Xiao Lian: "Do you think putting her next to you when the fight starts later can help distract her?"

Xiao Lian speculated: "No way? If she is pushed into the river, it will be hard to fish her out."

"Forget it," Ji Cheng decided, "Send her to the inn to peel melon seeds for me. It's late today, peel two fruit plates before going to bed."

Li Niang: "?"

She looked at him in astonishment and wanted to say something, but a servant came over and made a gesture to her: "Miss, please come in."

Ji Cheng also stood up from the couch: "Let's go to the grove."

Bai Xiaosheng: "...I have something to do at home, so how about I leave first?"

He turned around and before he took a step, his shoulder was grabbed by Xiao Lian.

Ji Cheng smiled and said, "Didn't Master Jiao say that he didn't know how to praise me? How can we get materials if we don't go together?"

"Xiao Lian, hurry up and bring the people, let's go."

All along the way, Bai Xiaosheng was worried that he would face a beating when he arrived at the place, but he couldn't run away even if he wanted to - God knows that Ju Yicheng's maid named Xiao Lian is actually quite good at martial arts, and she can easily hold him down just by comparing her hand strength.

However, as the saying goes, a strong dragon cannot suppress a local snake. Dongmen Xiangnan was ridiculed by Ju Yicheng again. He had the advantage of the terrain, and it was obvious that he would definitely call a group of people over. Even if Xiao Lian was strong, it would still be difficult for her to fight against a hundred people alone, right?

When they arrived at the grove by the river, Dongmen Xiangnan was indeed waiting there. There was a row of burly men behind him, and just standing there was quite intimidating.

Dongmen Xiangnan saw Ji Cheng and sneered: "I didn't expect you to be brave enough to come."

Ji Cheng said: "I like watching others get beaten the most, how could I miss it?"

Dongmen Xiangnan: "You are still stubborn when you are about to die. There are only three of you. Can you beat me?"

He sneered: "If you know what's good for you, kneel down and kowtow to me three times, and then return Li Niang. Oh, the maid next to you is also pretty. If you offer her together, I may let you go. Otherwise, hum."

Bai Xiaosheng clenched the corner of his clothes nervously.

Ji Cheng: "Do you think you are the only one who can call for help?"

Dongmen Xiangnan, who was making a harsh remark, was stunned, but Xiaolian whistled, and the next moment many people in black suddenly jumped out of the originally quiet grove.

The number of people on both sides reversed instantly.

Dongmen Xiangnan and the burly men behind him: "???"

Ji Cheng said lazily: "Fight for me."

The black-clothed men surrounding Dongmen Xiangnan immediately responded and formed a group fight in an instant.

Although the burly men brought by Dongmen Xiangnan were strong, they were completely inferior to Ji Cheng's men in martial arts, and they were outnumbered, so they were defeated the moment the two sides fought, and the group fight turned into a one-sided fight.

Xiao Lian held a sword to protect Ji Cheng and was eager to try: "Young Master, I also want to fight."

Jicheng: "No, I'm so weak. What if I'm attacked later?"

Xiaolian pointed at Bai Xiaosheng: "Ask him to block your sword."

Bai Xiaosheng: "..."

Jicheng: "After all, I'm from Baihua Valley. Give me some face. If I die, the old man will make me kneel down again."

Xiaolian thought for a while, but seemed unable to refute anything, so she could only nodded gloomily.

The east gate to the south had no power to counterattack. In less than half a stick of incense, they all fell to the ground and wailed. The group of men in black also gathered in formation and saluted Jicheng and Xiaolian: "Young Master, Perfection Mission accomplished!"

Jicheng nodded with satisfaction and threw out a bag of silver: "Good job, try your best next time."

He turned to Bai Xiaosheng again and asked: "Master Jiao, have you seen everything clearly? Now you will know how to write it when you go back, right?"

Bai Xiaosheng's lips twitched: "Everyone has run away from home, why..."

Dongmen Xiangnan fell to the ground and shouted: "You secretly called people! You are despicable!!"

Jicheng walked over and squatted down with a smile: "You can call someone, why can't I?"

Dongmen Xiangnan glared at him: "You..."

Jicheng suddenly raised his hand to touch him, and the young master Dongmen screamed when he was stabbed at the injured area.

"Tsk, tsk," Jicheng stood up with a disgusted tone, "Young Master Dongmen can't even go home by himself when he's like this. Xiaolian, please courier him back to your house."

Xiaolian looked at the big man on the ground, and then at Dongmen Xiangnan, who was so painful that he wanted to roll on the ground, and frowned: "Chouji."

Jicheng: "The valuable things he pulled off are yours."

Xiaolian: "Young Master, please go back to the inn quickly. It's late at night and it's not safe here. Just leave it to me to send them back."

Bai Xiaosheng: "..."

He took a deep look at the master and servant, and suddenly began to wonder if he was not keeping up with the development of the times.

The coachman was waiting not far away, so Jicheng and Bai Xiaosheng returned to the inn first. After all, they were the ones staying in the leader's suite. The inn had directly built a small courtyard for him, which was more than enough for one more person.

When the two came back, the lights in the yard were still on, and Liniang was waiting inside: "Young Master."

She said with a bright tone: "The fruits are all ready."

It doesn't sound like there's any embarrassment about being a courtesan being bought back to peel fruit.

Jicheng walked into the main hall and saw two full fruit plates as expected. Liniang led him to sit down, put her hand on Jicheng's shoulder and asked softly, "Master, do you want Liniang to feed you?"

With this voice and tone, Bai Xiaosheng had already begun to think about whether he needed to avoid it next.

Xiaolian is still happily delivering express delivery in the grove on the river bank. She probably didn't expect that she would be unemployed when she came back - Liniang feeds fruit without extra money.

However, Jicheng turned over and pressed Liniang's hands, gently touched her fingertips, and said with a smile: "Liniang, your hands seem to be rougher than I thought."

He turned his head and stared at Liniang, his tone sounded very gentle: "Why is the cocoon so heavy?"
