I have the best bloodline

"Huh? Isn't that Brother Wen? Why is he swaying in a wheelchair?"

Following Sister Xi'er to the bustling street, Su Yan bought some dried spiritual plants to feed the jade rabbit. Not knowing how to choose good spiritual plants, Su Yan sat on the counter of the pharmacy, chewing on the beast meat snacks that Emperor Wusheng had given her yesterday. Unintentionally, she saw a figure she hadn't seen in a long time.

Su Yan couldn't help but call out, stopping Wen Juntong, who was traveling in a wheelchair.

"Brother Su? Why are you here all alone?"

Wen Juntong, sitting in a wheelchair with his left foot bandaged and splinted, was being pushed along by his servants. When he heard someone call his name, he turned around and saw a white figure appear on the brightly decorated street.

With a beaming smile, Wen Juntong directed the servants to push him to the entrance of the herbal medicine shop, raised his hand to greet Su Yan, and asked why he was here alone.

"I came shopping with an elder. What about you? I haven't seen you in a long time," Su Yan said.

"Me? Don't even mention it," Wen Juntong shook his head and said, "Someone reported me to my grandfather about my visit to the Myriad Flowers Pavilion. My mother came back from the Western Prefecture to celebrate the New Year, and when she heard the news, she was furious and threw me into the new recruit camp of the Demon Suppression Division."

As for the result...

Wen Juntong patted his injured leg, looking speechless, and said, "I'm staying home and studying now!"

Although Wen Juntong was unable to join the Demon Suppression Division, his maternal grandfather was one of the fourteen thousand households of the Demon Suppression Division. It was not difficult for him to put his grandson in the new recruit camp for special training. As a result, Wen Juntong sprained his leg after only a few days. The doctor said he would prescribe medicine to treat him, but Wen Juntong insisted on refusing treatment.

He's showing a rebellious and stubborn side, and lately he's been staying home reading, writing, and recovering from his injury.

Su Yan, with a look of exasperation, said, "Madam Wen forcing you to cultivate isn't harming you, so why are you so resistant? Instead of resting at home after your injury, why are you rushing around the streets?"

Wen Juntong disliked cultivation. He spent his days like an ordinary playboy, playing cricket fighting and pig walking on the street. Apart from not doing anything productive and dreaming of living in the Wanhua Pavilion and enjoying being hugged by Golden Core stage older sisters every day, he was like a salted fish.

"Why bother with all this training? Just get by enough, so you don't have to attend so many funerals and burials."

After waving his hand in refusal, Wen Juntong said with a beaming smile, "Li Jing! You remember him, right? He's that scoundrel who caused a ruckus at Ruchun Garden before. Today, he was sentenced by the Ministry of Justice to be paraded through the streets for slander and spreading rumors. Even his father personally paid the fine, but it couldn't save him!"

“Li Jing? I don’t remember him.” Su Yan shook his head and said.

"Never mind if I don't remember him. He's my only enemy. I'm rushing over there to throw rotten tomatoes and rotten eggs at him!"

Wen Juntong fumbled around in his storage ring for a moment, then took out a basket of frozen, rotten, and smelly tomatoes, and a basket of specially rotten eggs with a hole pried open to allow the egg whites and yolks to be placed inside.

"I'm going to throw that bastard all the way here, so he can pay for all those rumors he spread that I didn't pay when I visited Wan Hua Ge! It ruined my reputation in the industry, I'll smash him to death!"

"Throwing rotten eggs at me?"

Su Yan thought for a moment, then opened his storage ring and took out some pickled products from the Southern State: "This is our Southern State's specialty stinky shrimp paste, and this prickly, hard-to-handle stuff called durian. Socks? These socks don't seem to be mine?"

In Su Yan's storage ring, besides some spirit stones and fattening snacks, there were also some miscellaneous items that his mother had transferred from the storage ring when he ran away from home. Su Yan usually didn't bother to look for those things.

But when Su Yan saw Wen Juntong say he was going to throw things at his enemies, he remembered that he had some pickled and stinky seafood dipping sauce and durian, which were specialties of the Southern State, in his storage ring. So he took them all out and gave them to Wen Juntong to throw at people.

"Socks? You might throw socks at people too! It doesn't matter whose stinky socks they are."

"no!"

Su Yan thought for a moment, stuffed the smelly socks back in, and then took out two durians and gave them to Wen Juntong, saying, "These are better."

Su Yan didn't know whose socks they were, but whether they were her father's or her mother's, they were not suitable to throw at people.

“Heating that stuff will make it smell even worse. If you want to taste the fruits and vegetables from the Southern State, I suggest you let them sit outdoors for half an hour in winter before eating them. They actually taste quite good then,” Su Yan suggested.

What are you talking about?

Sister Xi came out from the inner room, carrying a burlap sack in her hand, and went to the counter to weigh it. She looked at Su Yan, who kept taking things out, with a strange expression.

"Nothing's wrong."

Su Yan, looking slightly guilty as if caught doing something wrong by his parents, said, "My friend's enemy was sentenced by the Ministry of Justice to be paraded through the streets. He was rushing to throw rotten eggs at me, and I happen to have some pickled products from the southern states here."

"Enemies? Speaking of which, last night I saw the documents submitted by the Ministry of Justice. The person who previously accused your brothels of engaging in lewd services has been arrested. I think his name was Li Jing. His family is in the salt transport business."

When the topic of parading people through the streets came up, Sister Xi suddenly remembered seeing the investigation results of the case of Ru Chun Yuan being falsely accused in the memorial submitted by the Ministry of Justice last night, and mentioned it to Su Yan.

Li Jing's family was quite wealthy. He should have been sentenced to prison, but because he turned over a large amount of spirit stones, his sentence was leniently reduced from six months in jail to being paraded through the streets for half a month before being released.

"Li Jing?!"

Su Yan and Wen Juntong exchanged a glance and then fell into a silent slumber, speechless.

"Brother Su, are you coming along? If not, don't hold back, just bring it all out!"

"it is good"

Su Yan stopped being coy and took out all the stinky sauces she didn't like from her storage ring, handing them all to Wen Juntong. She also reminded him that Ruchun Garden now had dozens of foxes, and the monkeys must have shoveled a lot of dog poop. If he didn't mind, he could take a detour and bring over a couple of bags.

Wen Juntong looked shocked and waved his hands repeatedly. Throwing tomatoes and eggs at people during a public humiliation was already excessive, but throwing rotten shrimp paste and durians was even worse. Throwing feces? Wasn't that setting a precedent for the onlookers?

Wen Juntong wouldn't dare to play like that. He was also afraid that he would be arrested and paraded through the streets, and that the crowd would throw excrement at him.

"Dirty fox, bad fox, don't play with poop!" Sister Xi'er smacked Su Yan on the head three times in a row, leaving three bumps on his head before she stopped.

"No wonder your mother wanted to scrub you with a washboard. How could she have come up with such a vicious idea? Killing someone is nothing more than lighting a lamp for their soul, not something so despicable!"

"Waaaaah"

Su Yan covered her head with a wronged expression and looked at Sister Xi'er, saying, "But I saw in the books on war strategy that there are precedents of the defending side heating up excrement and pouring it over the heads of the attacking side?"

"Hey! Little Yellow-Mouthed Fox! Want to taste your mother's cooking again after all this time?"

Sister Xi refused to accept Su Yan's message and picked up a handful of spiritual plants for him to rinse his mouth.

The book Su Yan was reading was from his previous life. It was a novel concept in the cultivation world of this life. In this world, the attacking and defending sides would fight to the death with the two immortals on the field, while the soldiers below would mainly set up formations and summon spirits to attack the city. There were not many strange military strategies specifically targeting the human race.

Therefore, Sister Xi'er naturally couldn't accept the despicable idea Su Yan had proposed.

………………

I really need your monthly votes!

I went to bed at 2:30 last night and didn't wake up until the afternoon. When I looked at the time on my phone, I was completely stunned. I'm giving up now. Update time is whatever.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 136 The Imperial City (Third Update, Bonus Chapter for Regular Subscriptions)

"Speaking of which, this is your first time visiting the palace. Is there anywhere you'd like to go? Although my words don't carry much weight in the palace, there's no place in the capital that I can't go."

Sister Xi walked out of the main gate of the imperial city, looked at Su Yan who was looking around on her shoulder, and asked with a smile.

Even the national treasury in the imperial city is undefended by Jiuyou. There is no building in the imperial city that Xi'er cannot go to. If you have to say which area she cannot go to, it is probably the emperor's harem.

However, since that place was built, neither of the two emperors of Xia Yu could put together a complete harem. It must have been overgrown with weeds and moldy by now, right? The prison inside the Demon Suppression Bureau was probably more lively than the emperor's harem.

"The imperial city... I know nothing about it."

Su Yan turned his head and nuzzled Xi'er's cheek, expressing his affection for her. However, Su Yan usually lived in his own little world and had virtually no systematic understanding of the inner workings of the imperial city.

Even regarding the titles of Xia Yu's Six Departments and Three Masters, I only had a general understanding of them and didn't have a deep knowledge of them.

"The Imperial City is basically the offices of the Three Divisions and Six Ministries, as well as some Imperial Guards, plus some gardens and landscapes. Originally, there were some Happy Forests in the Imperial City, but they were reduced to fewer and fewer after being reported by officials."

Sister Xi'er spoke with a hint of regret.

Both the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Justice said that such behavior was unsightly and affected the solemnity of the imperial city, and that it was necessary to strictly prohibit and crack down on such behavior in the Pleasure Forest, and it was also forbidden in lakes!

They also encouraged everyone to report on each other, and if someone was caught, they would have their pants pulled down and hung on the bulletin board to let the people of Xia Yu's main city see if they were really that capable.

"Both men and women can hang them?" Su Yan asked in surprise.

"It's not that the palace maids get spanked, but rather their pants are pulled down and they're publicly beaten until three wooden canes break. As for the demons, they're simply locked up for three months. Demons usually want to fling their little things around like waterwheels, so isn't letting them openly show off their talents a reward for them?"

As Sister Xi'er carried Su Yan toward the palace, she told him about the interesting rules and regulations of the palace.

Although Su Yan was completely speechless, Sister Xi'er still found it very interesting.

The entire imperial city covers a vast area, comparable to the large cities of Su Yan's previous life. The imperial city occupies one-tenth of the area of ​​Xia Yu City, directly located in the central area of ​​Xia Yu City.

Walking from the outer area of ​​the imperial city inwards, the area adjacent to the imperial palace is the royal family's gathering place. Not only do members of the royal family and royal servants live here, but an area has also been designated as the residence of important court officials when they attend court.

Although Princess Wuxi has her own fiefdom, she currently lives in a mansion in the imperial city, about two miles away from the Third Prince and the Young Prince, which is quite close to the palace.

"If you want to play with Wuxi in the future, just come here."

Sister Xi raised her hand and pointed to the gate with the plaque "Eternal Life" hanging above the high wall.

The content on the gate plaques is relatively casual and generally not very particular. Many people simply engrave their surname and place of residence to make it easier for visitors or others to identify the residence in front of them.

To avoid accidentally raiding your own house while raiding your neighbor's, which would be troublesome.

"Hey, hey, hey, I'll roll back right away. Please calm down, Your Highness, Princess Wuxi."

As Su Yan and Sister Xi'er approached the door, a burly man in a round-necked, narrow-sleeved brown official robe rolled out of the princess's mansion with a fawning expression. Under the watchful eyes of Sister Xi'er and Su Yan, he rolled away with an extremely smooth "glug-glug" until he disappeared from sight.

The eunuch who was rolling around was not weak. He condensed a spherical ball of spiritual energy on his body to wrap around himself so that he could roll smoothly on the ground. No one without the Golden Core stage could roll so smoothly.

One eunuch rolled out, followed by four or five eunuchs and several palace maids who, like racehorses, flew out from the top of the gate, their bodies landing round and rolling away on the road in front of the princess's mansion.

The palace maids with lower cultivation levels didn't roll very smoothly, but the eunuchs rolled faster than anyone else.

Su Yan was completely dumbfounded: "Is this a horse race?"

"What horse race? It must be that girl Wuxi throwing a tantrum at the mansion! If you're slow, you might get caught in the crossfire."

Sister Xi'er was very familiar with the Princess's residence and skillfully led Su Yan over the wall to enter. Even though they were separated by a front garden, they could hear clearly that Princess Wuxi was angrily slamming her fist on the table and scolding people.

"No wonder it could take off. It turns out there's a rockery behind the high wall, a landscaped garden. Judging from those smooth stones, it must have been used as a springboard many times."

Su Yan looked around at the landscaping in the front yard. It wasn't more luxurious than the mansion in the southern state where Su Yan lived. It was just a very ordinary landscape courtyard, not the magnificent and glittering place he had imagined, where even the toilet was made of gold bricks.

"Why are you so angry, Xiao Wuxi? Come out and greet your great-aunt!"

As soon as Sister Xi spoke, the reprimanding voices in the main hall of the residence stopped abruptly. Princess Wuxi, who had transformed back into her fox form, stood on the threshold, looking at Sister Xi, who had revealed herself, from a distance. Her eyes twitched slightly, and her face showed a look of unspoken words, which finally turned into a sigh.

She instinctively called out to the Imperial Guards, but then, realizing that the Imperial Guards couldn't even see the old lady in front of her, Princess Wuxi silently shut her mouth and glared at her.

"Don't worry! I'm not here to take you shopping, I just came to feed you a bit."

As Sister Xi'er spoke, she approached. Just then, the Moon Rabbit hopped to the vicinity of the threshold. Princess Wuxi didn't even glance at it. Her tail naturally curled and flicked the Moon Rabbit's forehead, sending the little creature flying back into the house. But the Moon Rabbit was still unwilling to give up. It stretched out its limbs from its glutinous rice ball form and continued to hop.

When the Moon Rabbit reached the threshold, Princess Wuxi still didn't turn around to look at it. She kicked it with her hind leg, and the Moon Rabbit turned into a glutinous rice ball and rolled back into the house.

It wasn't until Princess Wuxi saw Su Yan perched on Xi'er's shoulder that the little fox's tense expression relaxed slightly as she spoke, "Su Yan!"

"exist!"

Su Yan stepped on Xi'er's shoulder with his front foot, then leaped forward and landed on the ground to greet Princess Wuxi.

"I knew it. Only that woman could teach you the secret to rejuvenation."

Princess Wuxi looked at Su Yan, then at Sister Xi'er who was squatting down and stroking her head. Princess Wuxi jumped up and tried to bite Sister Xi'er's arm, but Sister Xi'er wasn't stupid and wouldn't let Princess Wuxi bite her.
