"That settles it then, let's go."
"Yes!"
Dian Wei then followed Xiao Jingyi out the door.
019 The tricks never lied to me; nothing good ever comes out of the box. (Seeking flowers, ratings, and monthly tickets)
"Look, take a look! Freshly brewed osmanthus wine, a sip of it will make you feel ten years younger!"
"Selling steamed buns, selling steamed buns, fresh braised pork steamed buns."
"Freshly slaughtered beef, thirty coins a pound."
"..."
Walking down the street, you can hear vendors hawking their wares all around.
There were also many pedestrians who stopped to watch, all of which demonstrated the prosperity and stability of the capital of Liang.
"The warmth and comfort of everyday life."
"Speaking of which, the last time I went out for a stroll was a month ago."
Since his transmigration, Xiao Jingyi has rarely gone out for a stroll, not because he doesn't want to.
Mainly.
The house is too big~
Before he was 12 years old, he lived in the palace. Everyone who lived there knew that it was very large. For him, who was still a child, going out once was no less than a long march.
When he grew up, he lost interest in these things and focused solely on developing himself.
Besides taking a trip every six months to relax.
As luck would have it, every time he went out, he would bring a woman home.
Even so, rumors spread like wildfire that he was always philandering and a notorious womanizer.
He must have been a prince, otherwise he would have been known as a lecherous man.
"Dian Wei, what are you looking at?"
At this moment, Xiao Jingyi noticed that Dian Wei beside him was staring at the stall, and asked curiously.
"My lord... I just saw that sesame seed cake, and it looked delicious."
“…”
Seeing Dian Wei staring blankly at the sesame seed cake, Xiao Jingyi's lips twitched slightly, and he said irritably, "What's wrong? Didn't the Prince's Mansion feed you enough?"
Upon hearing this, Dian Wei felt a little embarrassed. He touched his stomach and said, "Your Highness, as you know, I have a big appetite. Actually, I'm always full after eating, but I get hungry quickly."
"Alright, let's go take a look."
"Okay~"
Upon hearing this, Dian Wei eagerly followed Xiao Jingyi to the place where they sold sesame cakes.
The stall owner, a woman, stepped back when she saw the two approaching, startled by Dian Wei's imposing figure.
"Hello, I'd like a sesame seed cake."
He took out a coin and placed it on the counter.
The woman then came to her senses, glanced at Dian Wei with lingering fear, and then smiled as she picked up a pancake and handed it to Xiao Jingyi.
“Give it to him.”
Pointing at Dian Wei, Xiao Jingyi looked at him and said, "Hurry up and take it."
"Oh oh oh."
Dian Wei snapped out of his daze and took the sesame seed cake, but because he was so burly, his hands were too big.
The pancake, which was about the size of a human face, was actually smaller than his palm.
Dian Wei ate them one after another.
???
You're really like Pigsy swallowing the ginseng fruit!
"..."
Seeing his expression, Xiao Jingyi immediately took out a string of coins: "The rest, pack them up."
"Okay, thank you, thank you for your patronage."
Upon receiving the string of coins, the shopkeeper was overjoyed to find that there was more money than expected, and then hurriedly packed up all the sesame cakes.
Dian Wei didn't just stand there dumbfounded this time; he quickly took the sesame seed cake.
He then followed behind Xiao Jingyi while eating.
Because the duo's combination was so unusual, many people looked at them along the way, but no one dared to approach them.
After all, Dian Wei's arms, which were as thick as his waist, were quite frightening to look at.
"Cai Quan, I'm making this clear today: I'm taking this woman with me. If you dare to stop me, you'll be sorry!"
"Young Master Zhang, you are forcibly abducting a woman in the street, which is against the law. Please turn back before it's too late, lest you bring trouble upon yourself."
“Cai Quan, how dare you, a mere chief of the Ministry of Justice, lecture me, the young marquis? Besides, you saw it yourself, she dirtied my clothes, and since she couldn’t afford to pay for them, she had no choice but to pay with her body.”
"..."
Just as Xiao Jingyi was strolling through the streets with Dian Wei, a sudden commotion caught his attention.
He turned his head and was shocked to see Cai Quan confronting a young man in his twenties.
However, the young man was dressed in fine clothes, and his attire looked quite impressive. He also had several guards by his side.
Of course, he didn't know this young man, but he did know Cai Quan.
Not to mention his later position as Minister of Justice, even when Cai Quan was just a student in his early years, Xiao Jingyi had provided him with financial assistance.
Now, during holidays and festivals, Cai Quan doesn't send gifts, but he always sends someone to extend his greetings.
During the standoff between the two, he also saw a woman dressed in coarse linen clothes, who was somewhat thin and had some dust on her face.
Even so, it couldn't hide her delicate and pretty face; she was clearly a beauty in the making.
"It's said that wherever the protagonist of a novel goes, there's an opportunity to show off and slap someone in the face. The formula is really true; something always happens when he goes out. I didn't expect to run into one like this."
Xiao Jingyi said in a low voice.
He wasn't interested in that matter, but he was interested in Cai Quan.
Such a loyal and capable person is worth cultivating.
Moreover, the Minister of Justice was on his kill list, so it was perfect to have Cai Quan become that minister later.
"Dian Wei, keep up."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Dian Wei finished his sesame seed cake, wiped the oil off his clothes, and then followed Xiao Jingyi over.
Meanwhile, Lord Zhang noticed that Cai Quan still wouldn't let him pass, and more and more people were gathering around. To prevent the situation from escalating further, he...
A hint of ferocity flashed in his eyes.
"Cai Quan, are you going to let me pass or not?!"
“Young Master Zhang, Cai Quan is an upright and honest person. It would have been fine if I hadn’t seen it, but I saw what happened today, so that won’t do.”
Cai Quan's personality was like that; he was unwilling to curry favor, arrogant, and unwilling to flatter.
Actually, it's not a big deal.
This young marquis came out to play today and saw this woman. She wasn't dressed very well, but she had a very pretty face, so he started to have designs on her.
After their attempt to seduce each other failed, he became enraged and tried to take her away.
As for things like clothes getting dirty, those are just excuses made up.
Having witnessed all of this, Cai Quan naturally couldn't stand it and wanted to step forward to argue with them.
This has led to the current situation.
"Fine, fine, you won't allow it, oh well."
"Get him! Stop him! The rest of you carry her away!"
Young Master Zhang ordered his men to take action, something he had done before.
He'll just find his family to compensate him afterward; he's not short of money.
These people were used to being arrogant and domineering with him, so they didn't hesitate; two of them stepped forward to stop Cai Quan, while the remaining four were about to take the woman away.
"What are you trying to do? I am a member of the imperial court..."
Seeing that the two guards were about to stop her, Cai Quan was furious, but she was no match for them.
Just then, a large hand grabbed his wrist as it reached out to him.
"Click-click-click!"
"what!"
A scream rang out as the guard's wrist was crushed.
Upon seeing this, the other guard's expression changed drastically, and he was about to draw his sword.
"boom!"
A huge foot landed on him, and he was sent flying backward as if hit by a truck, crashing into the wall and getting stuck.
"Murder...murder!"
"hiss!"
Upon seeing this, the crowd of onlookers paused for a few moments before scattering in panic, leaving only Cai Quan, Young Master Zhang, and his remaining four guards behind.
Seeing that one of his guards was seriously injured and the other crippled, Young Master Zhang's expression changed drastically. He then glared fiercely at Dian Wei and said, "Who are you? How dare you hit my men? Are you tired of living?"
Upon hearing this, Dian Wei straightened up and slowly looked at Young Master Zhang.
With just one glance, the young Marquis Zhang was so frightened that he took several steps back, his mouth agape: "This man looks so fierce."
020 I casually saved a future empress, Jiang Yuyan?! (Seeking flowers, ratings, and monthly tickets)
Zhang Qing swallowed hard after glancing at Dian Wei's arms, which were thicker than his waist.
He then stepped back a few paces, allowing his four guards to stand in front of him.
Seemingly feeling safer, Zhang Qing became more confident and said to Dian Wei, "You country bumpkin, how dare you lay a hand on me? You're in big trouble."
"What good is it if you can fight? In this world, you need power and connections."
"Believe it or not, tomorrow there will be wanted posters for you all over Kyoto!"
Seeing Zhang Qing's impotent rage, Dian Wei was about to step forward.
Give him a good lesson.
At this moment, Xiao Jingyi arrived late and said slowly, "Young Master Zhang... let me think... oh, it's that old bastard Zhang Guoming's son, isn't it?"
"It seems to be the Marquis of Ning'an?"
Xiao Jingyi stepped forward, raised his hand to signal Dian Wei to calm down, and then looked at Zhang Qing.
"You just said that in this world, you need influence and connections."
"My servant here is not very capable, but he works in my Prince's mansion, which should be larger than your Marquis's mansion, right?"
"Why don't we give it a try and see if you or my servant will fall?"
"Your Highness!"
Before Zhang Qing could answer, Cai Quan recognized Xiao Jingyi. Overjoyed, Xiao Jingyi quickly bowed and said, "This humble official, Cai Quan, greets Prince Yi."
If Zhang Qing didn't know Xiao Jingyi's identity before, how could he not know who the person in front of him was after hearing Cai Quan's words?
Prince Yi, Xiao Jingyi, was granted the title of Prince Shuangzhu a few years ago!
