Meng Yin sighed: "Taozi, I'll get them some food, you take them to wash, these children are so pitiful."

Tao Tao nodded. She understood that Meng Yin was remembering that when they were little, they also experienced hunger and coldness. Now that they have grown up, she would help as much as she could.

The children were very well-behaved. When they heard that there was food to eat, they immediately followed Tao Tao to wash their faces and hands.

Meng Yin came to the kitchen and started making buns.

Yesterday Xiao Xian sent someone to deliver a lot of food, enough for them to eat for a long time.

She chopped the meat and leeks, thinking back to when she was a child, her saliva would drop to the ground at the smell of meat buns.

"Miss Xia, what do you think of this shop? It has three floors and a large area. Is it big enough for you to do business?" Xiao Xian took her to the shop. It was very clean inside, and the tables, chairs and benches were neatly arranged.

The hall is very large and there is a stage in the middle.

Xia Nian looked around and could tell from Xia Houyu's words that this was the shop of one of his enemies. After he got rid of his enemy, the shop was naturally empty. He didn't expect that the things inside were still preserved so well.

Xiao Xian looked at her cold back and remembered what Xiahou Yu had ordered his subordinates to clean up these shops last night.

Obviously, he had expected Xia Nian to make this request today, otherwise he would not have come to the weapon shop so early in the morning. Xia Houyu never cared about the trivial matters in the shop.

Xiao Xian clenched his fists slightly... Could it be that he really did...

Xia Nian nodded with satisfaction and asked Xiao Xian: "Is this place far from our residence?" She was a little directionally challenged and didn't know the way very well.

Xiao Xian came back to his senses and immediately said, "It's not far, just a few miles away. It's convenient to go home at night, or you can stay in the store."

Xia Nian smiled and said, "Thank you very much, Master Xiao. By the way, please tell Master Xiao and Master Xiahou that I will go to thank him in person some other day."

Seeing her happy smile, Xiao Xian also smiled: "As long as Miss Xia likes it."

Xia Nian turned around and began to think about how to arrange the store.

"After buying so many things, I can cook with Tao Tao in the evening!" Xu Zheng weighed the big bag in her arms and felt very satisfied.

"Come and take a look! Martial arts competition! You may not win if you gamble, but you will definitely not win if you don't gamble!" An old man with a beard was beating a gong and shouting to guests outside.

"Martial arts competition?" Xu Zheng walked forward. Many people walked inside. Judging from their clothes, most of them were rich young men.

Xu Zheng's eyes rolled and she followed him in.

The place was almost full, with four people holding plates, asking them to pay a viewing fee and place bets on who would win.

As soon as Xu Zheng saw the two people on the ring, he almost burst into curse.

A strong man and a thin boy were fighting.

Judging from the boy's height, he was probably only fifteen or sixteen years old. He was disheveled and stood there with his shoulders hunched, seeming to be terrified of everything happening in the audience.

Next to him stood a 1.8-meter-tall burly man who flexed his muscles, his chest muscles trembling and a winning look on his face.

Xu Zheng looked at the plates again, and sure enough, the two plates on the right were filled with copper coins and silver, which were obviously won by the strong man in the bet.

And the last plate had almost none.

Xu Zheng felt extremely angry. She calmed herself down and walked towards the ring.

A man walked onto the stage and everything fell silent.

He raised the arms of the boy and the strong man and shouted, "Okay, everyone has placed their bets, right? Then..."

"Wait!" Xu Zheng slapped the wooden railing to stop him.

"Miss, please feel free to talk to me later if you have anything to say." The man's eyes softened a little when he saw that it was a pretty girl.

Xu Zheng waved her hand and said, "This is unfair. How can a minor fight against a muscular man? How can he win?"

The man was stunned, his face turned cold: "If he wants to have food here, he must fight!"

Xu Zheng stared at him, her voice rising: "What if that person is beaten to death!?"

"That's because he is unlucky! He can't eat this meal!" the man said immediately.

Xu Zheng smiled and put down her things: "I'll fight him and see if I'm lucky enough!"

The people around burst into laughter, and voices questioning Xu Zheng came from all directions.

"Hahahahahaha... girl, don't be so stubborn. Do you think it will be fair if you fight with him?" the man on the stage said with a smile and patted the strong man's abdominal muscles with his hand.

The thin boy raised his pair of dark eyes and looked at Xu Zheng. She was wearing a red dress and standing there with her back straight, with an expression of indescribable determination.

"You'll know whether it's fair or not in a moment." Xu Zheng tied all her hair up, "If I win, you give me the child, and another fifty taels of silver!"

She saw that the child's exposed skin was blue and purple, and she thought he had suffered a lot.

She, Xu Zheng, could not bear to watch such a young child die in such a place!

The man thought about it and felt that since she was so confident, she might really be capable. Fifty taels of silver was not a lot of money, so he could just give it to her if she won.

But this kid, although a useless thing, has a good appearance, and he is planning to sell him to Wan'an Building.

"Okay! Deal!" The man clapped his hands and pulled the boy's clothes and prepared to go down.

Xu Zheng's eyes were cold. She supported herself on the wooden railing with her right hand, exerted a little force on her legs, and jumped directly from the stands to the stage.

"Wow..." There were exclamations from people all around. No one expected that such a slender and beautiful girl was actually a martial artist.

Xu Zheng slapped the man's hand that was holding the boy away and said coldly, "Why, can't he walk?"

The man swallowed his saliva and uttered: "I don't care about women!"

Xu Zheng rolled her eyes at him and turned to look at the boy: "Go down first."

The boy raised his eyes to look at her. Her eyes were gentle, but more confident.

When the boy got off, the man shouted again: "The game begins!"

The people around began to cheer. The sturdy man attacked first. He rushed towards Xu Zheng. Xu Zheng took a deep breath and kicked him in the face.

The people around booed, and the sturdy man became enraged and swung his fist at Xu Zheng.

"It's so slow!" Xu Zheng laughed wildly. She passed under the sturdy man's armpits and grabbed his shoulders with both hands. With another force, her feet left the ground and flew into the air. Amid the exclamations of the people around her, Xu Zheng hit the sturdy man's waist with her knee.

The sturdy man fell to his knees. Xu Zheng pinned him to the ground with one leg and then clamped his arms with his backhand.

"5, 4, 3..." People around began to count down.

The strong man was beaten so hard that he had no strength to resist.

When the time was up, Xu Zheng let him go. She stood up, put one hand on her waist and lifted her bangs with the other.

Those who did not bet began to cheer for her, while those who did bet complained that Cheng Yaojin had suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

Looking at the man who was slowly approaching, Xu Zheng crossed her arms and said, "I won. Where is the man? Where is the money?"

The man smiled, and suddenly five or six men ran up from below.

"I can give you the money, but not the person!"
