When the princess gets married, the general must not flee
Chapter 9 Leaving the House
"Princess, the general has already set out."
Ye'er came in from outside and bowed to Bai Xin, who was leaning on the beauty couch and reading a medical book leisurely.
Bai Xin sat up suddenly, threw the book aside, stretched deeply, and felt that the air seemed to have become more beautiful and pleasant.
"Xiaoxi, get out my makeup tools."
"Xiao Ye, bring me a set of maid's clothes from the mansion."
"I am leaving the palace. Here I come, the beautiful mountains and rivers of the dome!"
She has been in the Dome for two months, and has been cultivating her body and mind without leaving the house. Now her body is almost in shape and her so-called husband has gone to the border. It is time for her, an abandoned woman with no one to take care of her, to go out and stretch her muscles.
"Okay, let's go."
Bai Xin was very satisfied with her outfit. The most common maid's outfit in the mansion, deliberately painted her originally fair face dark yellow, at first glance, it would not attract people's attention.
The maids were in awe of the princess's makeup skills. But they saw Bai Xin was about to run away, so they quickly chased after her.
"Princess, let us go together!" Ye'er was worried and wanted to go out with them.
"Yes, yes!" The other girls also nodded in agreement.
"It would be too conspicuous for all of you to go out together. What's more, if Butler Yang from the General's Mansion comes over, Xi'er will have to dress up as me inside, so you can't go."
"How about this, Min'er, just come with me. Shixiao will also protect me secretly. Now you can rest assured, right?" Bai Xin reassured them.
"But Princess..." Lian'er was still worried, "There are too few people. What if we can't serve the Princess well?"
"No buts, I'm just going out for a walk and will be back soon. You three just wait for me. I know my limits!" Bai Xin patted Lian'er's shoulder, turned and left.
Min'er hurriedly chased after them, leaving the three girls behind feeling confused.
God bless, princess, don’t get into any trouble!
Bai Xin and his companions were able to leave the mansion easily. Although the guards at the gate were all from the General's Mansion, they did not prevent people from the other courtyards from leaving the mansion. They just checked more strictly when entering the mansion.
The leading gatekeepers had also seen Shi Xiao dressed as Xiao Si. Although they could not remember his name, they looked familiar and knew at a glance that he was from the other courtyard, so they were not stopped from entering and leaving. As for the fact that they brought one or two inconspicuous and timid girls with them, they would not even glance at them.
"Huh..." Not long after leaving the villa, Bai Xin took a deep breath as he looked at the scene in front of him.
This is a real ancient city. Compared with the modern tourist ancient city in her hometown, all the buildings, scenery and people here make Bai Xin truly feel that she is in a completely different world.
The dome has four distinct seasons. Now it is early autumn. Bai Xin stands on the small bridge, feeling the refreshing breeze blowing towards her.
The pale yellow shadows of the trees swayed in the breeze, the water gurgled under the bridge, and the streets were filled with bustling people in unfamiliar clothes. Suddenly, I felt like a heartbroken wanderer.
However, she quickly suppressed her loneliness and appreciated the otherworldly scenery with great interest.
The dome capital was indeed prosperous and peaceful, with taverns and teahouses packed with guests, the streets bustling with people, and a wide variety of goods, making it very lively.
"Tanghulu! Gong..." Min'er was so excited that she almost shouted out.
Min'er, who has served Bai Xin since she was a child, has never left the palace, so she feels the scenery before her is even more novel.
Girls are also greedy and they love this kind of sour and sweet things the most.
Bai Xin quickly covered her mouth and whispered to stop her: "You call me princess on the street, do you want the whole city to know who I am? From now on, just call me Ah Xin when you go out, understand!"
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, husband...Ah Xin, I forgot about it for a moment when I saw the candied haws." Min'er blinked quickly and said in a low voice.
Bai Xin twitched his lips fiercely. He was usually a very steady person, but he got so excited when he saw the candied haws. He was indeed a foodie.
But it's normal if you think about it. These girls have been working in the palace since they were young. They probably have never had the chance to eat candied haws. The ancients didn't have many kinds of snacks to choose from. Candied haws is probably the favorite of girls here.
"Okay, foodie, let's go buy a string to satisfy your needs, and bring some back for Ye'er and the others." Bai Xin had no choice but to pull Min'er towards the stall selling candied haws.
Just when the two of them had bought the candied haws, they heard a man's rude shouting behind them, and Bai Xin and the others turned around to look.
The voice came from a rice shop. A fat, middle-aged man yelled rudely, "You two stinky boys, you work for me, I provide you with food and drink, and you dare to steal my rice!"
As he said this, he kicked hard at two ragged and skinny boys of about thirteen or fourteen who were kneeling on the ground. The boys fell to the ground in pain and were unable to get up for a long time.
Kneeling behind them was a boy of about 16 or 17, also in ragged clothes, but with a pale complexion, as if he had been suffering from malnutrition for many years. Beside him was a small bag of rice mixed with sand and stones.
He saw the two teenagers being kicked down and quickly crawled to the man.
"Shopkeeper, you've misunderstood. This rice was not stolen by Ah Hui and Ah Heng. They just picked up the dirty rice that was scattered on the ground. Please don't misunderstand me!" The young man knelt in front of the boss and said politely.
"I remember you. Every time they paid their wages, you would show up and ask, are you the leader who specifically ordered them to steal rice from my rice shop?"
"Well, I caught you red-handed today, so I can just wipe you out."
"Come here, cut off one arm from each of them and hand them over to the authorities."
The shopkeeper was spitting everywhere, the fat on his face trembled as he spoke, and he looked ferocious.
"Boss, you misunderstood. We really didn't steal your things. Please be merciful and listen to our explanation." The young man knelt down and kowtowed.
The shopkeeper remained unmoved and with a wave of his hand ordered two burly waiters to attack the three teenagers.
The people watching outside the door were talking about it. Some sighed for the three young men, while others cursed the shopkeeper inwardly, but no one really spoke up for the three young men.
"Wait a minute!"
A clear voice came from the crowd.
Everyone looked at Bai Xin.
Seeing a little girl dressed as a maid, I couldn't help but shake my head. What could a maid achieve?
Bai Xin slowly walked towards Mihang, stood in front of the shopkeeper, and looked directly at him.
Min'er hurriedly followed her, fearing that something might happen to the princess.
"Where did you come from, little girl, to meddle in my business?"
The shopkeeper was a little scared by Bai Xin's stare. He had never seen a little girl dare to look someone in the eye like that. Seeing that the little girl was dressed as a maid, he sneered and glared back at Bai Xin fiercely.
"Shopkeeper, you are joking. I am not meddling in your business. It's just a small bag of rice, but you broke three people's arms. It's a bit of an exaggeration. Besides..."
Bai Xin reached out and grabbed a handful of rice that had spilled on the ground and placed it in his palm.
"Besides, the rice is already so dirty. It looks like it was picked up from the ground. If they want to steal, they won't steal this kind of rice."
Bai Xin stretched out his hand holding the rice in front of the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper was so angry that he shouted, "I don't care what kind of rice it is. If you picked it up from my floor without my permission, you are stealing it!"
As he said that, he raised his hand to knock the rice out of Bai Xin's hand. It looked like he was going to knock Bai Xin away.
Before Bai Xin could make a move, Shi Xiao flashed in from the side of Bai Xin, grabbed the shopkeeper's raised fat wrist, flipped his whole hand outward, pressed it on his fat back, and kicked with his long legs. The shopkeeper knelt on one knee and screamed in pain.
catch?!!
Bai Xin's eyes lit up when she looked at Shi Xiao. Why were Shi Xiao's moves so similar to hers? But before she could say anything, two burly waiters picked up sticks and attacked Shi Xiao.
Shi Xiao took advantage of the situation and threw the shopkeeper to the ground, and his fat body fell heavily forward. Then he used his long legs to kick away the stick from the waiter who rushed over first, and then he punched him in the face with a heavy punch, and the waiter immediately crashed into the counter.
Blood immediately oozed from the waiter's nostrils and corners of his mouth.
Seeing this, the other waiter sped up his attack and turned around to be right in front of Shixiao. Shixiao turned around again, punched the waiter's neck with his elbow, then grabbed the waiter's wrist and kicked his leg back, pinning him to the ground, unable to move.
If Shi Xiao hadn't held back his strength, that blow to the neck would have probably killed the waiter.
Grappling, fighting, combat, military boxing, no, this is so wrong, so wrong!! These moves are exactly the same as what she learned in her previous life. At that time, the two of them fell off the cliff together. Could it be...
Bai Xin was extremely excited, but he also knew that now was not the time to ask questions, so he had to deal with these people first.
The three people lying on the ground screamed in pain, especially the shopkeeper, who was usually fat and pampered. The fall almost cost him his life.
"Boss, you saw it too. It was you who wanted to start the fight first. We were forced to act in self-defense." Bai Xin squatted in front of the boss and said with a smile.
The shopkeeper, who had finally sat up, quickly crawled back a few steps, twisting his fat body and slowly climbing up next to the counter.
He looked at Bai Xin in horror: "What are you doing? What are you doing? If you beat me up, I will report you to the police!"
"I'm not going to do anything, I just want to tell you that I bought the arms of these three people. What do you think, shopkeeper?" Bai Xin said, and took another step closer to the shopkeeper.
"Also, you can call the police if you want, but you were the first to attack a little girl like me, and the people outside saw it. We fought back to protect ourselves."
As Bai Xin said this, he looked outside the door. The onlookers were all laughing secretly, as they had never expected that this ordinary-dressed girl had a prominent background. They all agreed with Bai Xin's words, and all believed that it was the shopkeeper who started the fight first.
Bai Xin smiled and continued:
"As for what you said about them stealing your rice, you must find out which rice on the ground they stole. Catch the thief and seize the stolen goods. Don't mix up the evidence. If you deceive our great judge, you will be beheaded!"
Bai Xin pointed at the rice scattered on the ground. The rice had been spilled during the fight, and Bai Xin also spilled the small bag of rice.
"you……"
The shopkeeper was so angry that he puffed up his fat face and couldn't say a word.
"What do you think, shopkeeper? Have these three continued to steal your rice? They can leave now." Bai Xin said to the fat shopkeeper with a sneer.
"Let's go. That one can go, but Ah Heng and Ah Hui can't." He pointed at the elegant young man and said.
"They both signed a one-year contract with me, and there are still three months left. Do you dare to leave?"
The fat shopkeeper immediately stood up straight with confidence. Humph, three months is enough to kill them!
The three young men were stunned by what they had just seen and were huddled in a corner, not knowing what to do.
Bai Xin looked at them, feeling sorry for them, and continued to talk to the fat shopkeeper:
"Boss, we open a business to make money. So I'll pay the three-month penalty for the two of them. In addition, we'll also pay for the rice you spilled. What do you think of this private settlement?"
Bai Xin thinks that the method of using force first and courtesy later is feasible, and it has to work no matter what!
These two children would definitely be abused if they continued to stay here, but Bai Xin didn't want to make a big deal out of it. After all, her current identity was very embarrassing.
"If not, the three of us will come to your store to say hello every day until three months are up. Boss, would you consider it?" Bai Xin said as he pulled Shi Xiao in front of the fat boss.
The fat shopkeeper staggered backwards in fear, thinking that this girl was inconspicuous, but her mind was so sharp, and this man was so skilled, if he came to cause trouble every day...
The fat shopkeeper's eyes turned cunningly. Since they are willing to pay...
"Okay, since you are willing to pay, eighty taels of silver! Pay eighty taels of silver, and you can take these two people away!"
Eighty taels? ! !
Ah Heng, Ah Hui and another young man suddenly raised their heads and said, "Boss, you only pay us twenty cents a month!" Ah Heng said bravely.
"Hmph, you eat and drink my food, don't you need money?!" the shopkeeper yelled at Ah Heng.
"Because of you, my rice business was disrupted today and I was beaten. Do I not need money for medical expenses? Do I not need to pay for the rice that fell on the ground?"
The fat shopkeeper didn't dare to yell at Bai Xin and the others, he could only bare his teeth at Ah Heng and the others.
"Okay, shopkeeper, you mean, eighty taels, including their freedom, the rice, and your medical expenses, right?" Bai Xin pointed around with a smile and said to him.
"Of course! Hiss..." The shopkeeper puffed out his fat belly and said, and in excitement he pulled the wound and grimaced in pain.
"Very good, there are witnesses outside, the shopkeeper keeps his word!"
Bai Xin said with a slight smile on his face, his eyes flashing with a cunning look.
"Xiao Min, prepare the banknotes."
Bai Xin turned to Min'er and said, it's a good thing that she, a local rich man, brought out some extra money.
Although I am not familiar with the concept of using money in this alien world, it never goes a wrong to bring more with me, and now is the perfect time!
Then she whispered a few words into Shi Xiao's ear. Shi Xiao nodded, turned around and walked out of the rice shop.
