Fire Captain

I am willing to give up all the luxurious life, the title, the carriage, the imperial edict, the mansion, I am willing to exchange all of this for my mother's life, as long as she can survive. I am willing to live in the cramped house of the Sheng family for the rest of my life, not having enough food, clothes, and charcoal fire, it doesn't matter, as long as she can survive, as long as I can rest my head on her knees, I am willing to do anything...

OK! I promise!

Dadadada… Dadadadada…

In the city of Bianjing, a burst of hurried horse hoof sounds suddenly came from the wide streets. The sound of horse hooves was chaotic, and it was obvious that more than one horse was coming. Fortunately, this street was not a main road, and there were not many pedestrians. There were only a few people carrying loads, selling firewood and vegetables. When they heard the sound of horse hooves getting closer, they reacted and immediately dodged to the sides of the road.

The next moment, five or six fast horses were seen coming roaring over. Each horse was extremely handsome. Leading the way was a young man in his teens, wearing a crescent-white gown with his sleeves tightly tied. He was riding on a horse, with a smile on his face that was as bright as the morning sun.

The people behind were dressed in ordinary and low-key clothes, and they were obviously the followers of the young master in front. The group of six horses whistled away...

There was a man who didn't know the situation well enough to dodge, but someone nearby quickly pulled him away. After the group left, he dared to ask in a low voice: "It's so scary... Excuse me, who is this person? Is there no one to stop him from riding a horse in the street?"

The man who rescued him seemed to be a local. He looked at him and said, "Is this your first time in the city?"

The man scratched his head and said with a silly smile: "Yes, I am from Yuzhou, and this is my first time in Bianjing City."

The locals whispered, "No wonder, that guy just now is the little devil in our Tokyo City, the second son of the Zhao family!"

"The prince's son can't ride a horse in the street? What if he hits someone?"

"No way, this is the little prince's hobby!"

"Don't you think the prefect of Dongchengcheng will care?"

"Who dares to intervene? Even if we report it to the emperor, it's inevitable that we will be punished. Who taught this little prince to be favored?... But you know what, in such a long time, it seems that no one has ever been injured by the little prince's riding. It can be seen that the little prince is also a great rider... You will know it after you stay in Tokyo for a long time. If you hear such horse hoof sounds, you just need to avoid them quickly and you will be fine..."

The stranger bowed deeply and said, "Thank you for your guidance, brother!"

Bai Ziyang is the only person who is so arrogant. He had just returned to Planet 2B and applied for a vacation, but was sent out again by his boss. It is said that he came to this world because the national vote was too high, so the company had to use his vacation time. In order to compensate him, they agreed to let Bai Ziyang bring two artificial intelligence robots with him as his helpers. The additional condition is that they cannot expose the fact that they are not human.

That is, the two behind him, one is called Tingfeng, the other is called Tingyu. They look no different from humans, except that they are not humans... Well, as for the remaining ones, they are the guards assigned to him by his father in this life. He thinks that a group of people together is very imposing, so he takes them with him wherever he goes.

It was fine when he was young, but when he grew up, especially after he "learned" to ride a horse, he somehow became a sight in the city of Bianjing, so much so that he and the later playboy Gu Tingye were privately called the Black Wind Twin Devils by the people...

"Gu Er, you are late. I have been waiting for you for a long time!" Bai Ziyang shouted at Gu Tingye who was riding a horse.

Gu Tingye came to Bai Ziyang's horse, reined in the horse and said: "Zhao Er, don't be so complacent. I will definitely beat you in polo today!" After saying that, he got on the horse and ran towards the polo field first.

Bai Ziyang's status in this life is not bad. His father is a prince, named King Zhao. Although he is a little distant from the emperor's bloodline, he is at least from the same ancestor, at least closer than the other two Kings Yan and Yong. Unfortunately, he is not favored by the emperor. He is called to the palace to be scolded all day long. He can be criticized for anything. He has an older brother. Both father and son are literati. They are bookworms and recite poems and write couplets all day long. Fortunately, his mother is more normal. She is the only daughter of the Duke of Qin. She is well-educated, gentle and generous. Most of her people are not particular about trivial matters. However, because Prince Zhao is not favored by the emperor, he is relatively low-key among the officials and their wives and has a low reputation.

There was nothing he could do. It was because his father and the emperor had different ideas. The emperor loved his people like his own children and emphasized thriftiness. But in their family, there were four people in the master's family, but there were more than three hundred servants. This was not just luxury, it was simply too luxury... If the emperor didn't say anything, who would he say?

Although Prince Zhao had a bad impression in the emperor's heart, he had a good reputation among the common people. He did a lot of things like distributing porridge and rice. This was why Bai Ziyang was "riding a horse and committing crimes" all day long, but the people didn't complain about him. At most, they would say a few words behind his back. If you do a good job on the surface, you will also have the inside. Bai Ziyang's bad ideas are indispensable...

In fact, Prince Zhao was also wronged. Among the more than 300 servants, more than 200 were caused by Bai Ziyang. He often thought, I am taking the blame for my son, and he is also the first person since the founding of the country... Bai Ziyang hid under Prince Zhao's pot, flattering the emperor, making the emperor regard him as the only good child from Prince Zhao's mansion, a good child, and the first among the younger generation... This made other relatives and royal families very angry, and when they reported it to the emperor, eight out of ten times it was considered jealousy of Bai Ziyang and a false accusation...

When Bai Ziyang and Gu Tingye were returning home in a good mood after playing polo, they happened to meet his father who was also returning home. When they met, they greeted each other: "Father, are you leaving the court? How was your court today? Were you scolded by the emperor's uncle?"

When Prince Zhao saw Bai Ziyang, he said with a headache: "You, you, do you know that there is another Imperial Censor who will report you in the court today? If you continue like this, even your uncle can't protect you!"

Bai Ziyang frowned and said depressedly: "Do these imperial censors have nothing to do? Are they annoying? Are they staring at my trivial matters all day long?"

Prince Zhao said, "Can't you just be quiet for two days?"

Bai Ziyang said: "But the key is that I didn't do anything. I didn't bully men and women, and I didn't bully the village. I just like riding horses and playing ball..."

Prince Zhao asked, "Isn't that enough? Do you still want to learn from Gu Er and eat, drink, play, fight cocks and run dogs?"

Bai Ziyang said: "Gu Er is not that naughty, right? Some things were not done by him at all, but by others..."

Prince Zhao interrupted, "Don't worry about who it is. Just talk about yourself. Can you be honest..."

Bai Ziyang's eyes suddenly turned and he said, "Father, since the emperor is in such a difficult situation, let's not bother him. Otherwise, I will go to the palace and plead guilty!"

When Prince Zhao saw him like that, he asked, "What evil plan are you up to now?"

Bai Ziyang said with a smile: "When the time comes, I will ask the emperor to punish me and banish me from the capital..."

Before Bai Ziyang could finish, Prince Zhao said, "Then you can go out and play, right?"

"hey-hey……"

Prince Zhao looked at the grinning Bai Ziyang and said, "Let's wait until your mother agrees!" He said this and turned and left.

How could this be a problem for Bai Ziyang? He immediately went to the Princess of Zhao to show off, begging and nagging her until the Princess of Zhao had no choice but to agree to let him leave the capital to "travel" outside...? Bai Ziyang immediately entered the palace after receiving his mother's imperial sword, fearing that his mother would regret it if he was a step late.

In the end, Bai Ziyang was demoted on the surface, but in fact, with everyone's consent, he left Beijing for a trip... Oh no, it should be traveling... In any case, by sending this little devil away, the censors will have one less thing to do every day.

Bai Ziyang brought his people and told others that his family was a traveling merchant family and that they were going out to visit relatives. Since they had no purpose for this trip, if they came across an interesting place, Bai Ziyang and his party would stay for two more days. If they heard that there was something lively somewhere, they would go and take a look, even if it meant taking a detour. They did not rush along the way and walked comfortably for nearly a year before Bai Ziyang finally arrived in Yangzhou.

Seeing that the weather was getting colder in winter, Bai Ziyang decided to stay in Yangzhou and set off again when the weather got warmer next year to avoid suffering on the road.

Before entering the city, Bai Ziyang had sent people to buy a house in Yangzhou. After arriving, Bai Ziyang saw that the neighbors were all scholars or officials, so it was quiet. He nodded with satisfaction and decided to stay there for the time being.

"Sir, please go and have a look. Your Green Ear is restless in Ma Peng, and the servants can't control it anymore!" Shang Cheng, one of Bai Ziyang's guards, suddenly came to report.

It was too cold in winter, and Bai Ziyang didn't like to move. He stayed in the house by the warm stove for several days. His highest record was staying at home for a month. But he had no choice. He could stay at home, but his beloved horse couldn't wait. It was used to running every day, and now it couldn't stand staying in the stable for a few days. The groom had no choice but to report it to Bai Ziyang.

Bai Ziyang had no choice but to ride his horse into the city. In fact, Bai Ziyang didn't have any hobby of riding his horse around the streets all day, but he couldn't stand the fact that some people in the capital were angry with him but couldn't do anything about it. They were obviously envious of him, but they were sanctimonious and looked down on him. Bai Ziyang just thought it was fun to make them angry. Now he has tasted the bitter fruit.

Bai Ziyang was riding on a horse, wrapping his cloak tightly in the whistling cold wind, and absent-mindedly letting Lu'er run slowly around the house to exercise. When Bai Ziyang wasn't paying attention, a man suddenly appeared from somewhere on the empty street. He was holding a pile of books and reading them while walking. He was so engrossed in the reading that he didn't even have time to raise his head, looking like a nerd.

Perhaps Green Ear thought that man was interesting, so he ran up to him and suddenly raised his head and neighed. The nerd was startled and sat down on the ground with a bang, and the book in his hand fell to the ground.

Bai Ziyang, who was daydreaming, was awakened by Green Ear's neighing. He saw the man fell in front of the horse. It would be disastrous if Green Ear stepped on him. He immediately grabbed the reins and squeezed the horse's belly. Green Ear had been raised by Bai Ziyang since he was a child, and he could use the horse as easily as his own arms and fingers. They were in tune with each other's thoughts. He jumped lightly and passed over the nerd's head.

Bai Ziyang turned his horse around, reined it in, and then he dismounted and ran to the man and asked, "Are you okay, young man? Are you frightened?" He was about to help him up. But the first thing the man did when he came to his senses was to pick up his books. He was really a nerd. Bai Ziyang went up to help pick up two books.

"Excuse me for being rude just now. My name is Zi Yang, and I haven't asked for your full name yet, brother?" Bai Zi Yang said with a bow.

The man replied, "I dare not. My last name is Sheng, and my nickname is Zecheng. I don't blame you just now. I was too focused on my study and didn't pay attention to the road! But Brother Ziyang's riding skills are really amazing."
