"My father is Zhao Tai, the Governor-General of Guangdong and Guangxi. Who dares to touch me?"

Snapped! !

A loud slap accompanied by a pig-slaughtering scream resounded throughout Zhuque Street in the capital, quickly attracting countless people to watch and discuss.

"Isn't this Young Master Zhao?" someone widened his eyes in shock.

"His father is the Governor-General of Guangdong and Guangxi, commanding an army of 100,000 and boasting illustrious military achievements. His Majesty would have to show him some respect whenever he met him, and yet he was slapped in the face?!"

"Who hit me?"

"Hey, why is it him?! Isn't this the sickly prince of the fallen Guan family? I heard he was born with a serious illness and won't live past the age of 25!"

"Crazy! This guy is crazy! His family is all dead. How dare a downtrodden, short-lived ghost challenge a top-tier wealthy family?"

"..."

"Guan Ning, you actually dared to hit me, do you even know who I am?"

"You bastard, get ready to make your own coffin!" The fat Zhao Qing roared hysterically, with arrogance written all over his face.

"Cough, cough, cough!" The violent coughing sound came from a thin young man, in his early twenties, 1.8 meters tall, with handsome features, sword-like eyebrows, and eyes with an indescribable depth.

But his face was pale and bloodless, and one could tell at a glance that he was a chronically ill person and would not live long.

"Breaking coffins?" Guan Ning grinned, looking harmless, three parts ruffian and seven parts bandit.

"I won't live long anyway, so why not take you, Mr. Zhao, with me so I can have a companion on the road?" He slowly approached.

Zhao Qing stepped back in fear: "You, what are you going to do?"

Guan Ning smiled and said, "I'm not doing anything, I just want to find someone to take the blame for me."

Zhao Qing kept retreating, trying to call for help, but several of his men were knocked unconscious. Cold sweat could not help but drip down his face: "I... I'm warning you, don't do anything rash!"

"If anything happens to me, my father won't let you go!"

"It's okay if I don't do anything rash, but Mr. Zhao, I'm afraid you have to apologize to them and give them some money for the medicine, right?"

Guan Ning pointed at the old woman and the little girl with pigtails beside him. He had not intended to intervene at first, but Zhao Qing was too much. Not only was he domineering, he also beat an unarmed old man and even wanted to take the thirteen-year-old girl away to spend the night in a restaurant!

She's only thirteen years old, and she's worse than an animal!

"You're dreaming of asking me to apologize to these two lowly beggars!" Zhao Qing roared fiercely and suddenly attacked, punching Guan Ning in the head: "Go to hell!"

A hint of disdain appeared on Guan Ning's lips, and he attacked like a ghost.

boom!

He caught Zhao Qing's fist steadily and said jokingly, "Mr. Zhao, with all the strength you have, you're not even as strong as a short-lived ghost like me."

"Let go, I told you to let go!" Zhao Qing was still arrogant, and was used to bullying others by relying on his background as a second-generation rich kid.

Guan Ning's eyes turned cold and he twisted with all his strength.

Crack... the crisp sound of bones breaking was heard, and Zhao Qing's scream was so horrific that it could not be described as inhumane: "Ah!!"

The onlookers cried out in surprise, stepped back one after another, their faces filled with horror.

"My hands, my hands!" Zhao Qing wailed, kneeling heavily on the ground, in excruciating pain.

Guan Ning said calmly: "Mr. Zhao, would you like to apologize?"

"Dao, I say, please let go first, wuwuwu!"

"I was wrong, I'm sorry, I'm a good-for-nothing, I was wrong!" He cried and apologized frantically to the bewildered old man beside him. He no longer had the arrogant look he had just now.

Guan Ning didn't want to be the focus of the capital, so he snatched a purse from his waist.

"get out!"

boom!

He kicked the man away.

boom!

Zhao Qing fell to the ground, holding his dislocated hand in agony, and fled away tumbling and crawling.

But many people sighed: "This Guan family's heir will probably not even live to be twenty-five."

"Yeah, he's quite pitiful. Actually, he's not a bad guy. He's quite handsome. It's just that his family is unfortunate. His parents died early, and he was taken advantage of by others..."

"Given Mr. Zhao's temper, he will definitely not let this go."

"..."

"Old man, this is his compensation to you, take it." Guan Ning stepped forward, and as ruthless as he had been just now, he was now as friendly as ever.

A thick purse could hold at least twenty taels of silver, which was a huge sum of money in the Wu Dynasty.

boom!

The old man pulled the little girl to kneel, tears instantly filling his eyes. "Thank you so much, benefactor. Thank you so much, benefactor. If you hadn't helped me just now, I'm afraid my granddaughter... I absolutely cannot accept this money!"

Guan Ning smiled and helped the old man and the little girl up, and forced the money into the old man's hand: "It's okay, I just saw injustice and helped. You can take this money."

"Take your little sister and leave the capital. Live somewhere else to avoid being targeted by that bastard. I can't always help you."

Hearing this, the old woman felt ashamed and finally chose to accept it.

At this time, the little girl raised her head and said in a crisp, sweet voice, already with a girlish tone: "Big brother, can you tell me your name, Xiaoya?"

Guan Ning immediately smiled. Although the little girl was wearing shabby clothes, it couldn't hide her delicate face, especially her eyes, which were big and round. She was definitely a beauty.

In three years at most, it will definitely be a beautiful flower.

He couldn't help but rubbed the little girl's head lovingly: "My name is Guan Ning."

"Guan... Ning." The little girl repeated, and memorized the name firmly in her heart.

The old man and the little girl left, and the crowd on the busy Suzaku Street slowly dispersed.

But at this moment, suddenly, a black shadow approached Guan Ning at high speed!

"Greetings, Prince!" The black shadow bent over, dressed in tight clothes, strong and powerful, with muscles like rocks, 1.9 meters tall, with a tattoo on his forehead, and he was once a serious criminal in the empire.

If someone else were here, they would definitely be shocked. How could a sickly, short-lived prince, a waste known to everyone in the capital, actually have such subordinates?

"what happened?"

"Sir, our Yipintang's batch of goods has arrived, but the other party requires you to go in person before they will hand it over."

Hearing this, Guan Ning's sickly look instantly disappeared, his eyes shone with light, and were replaced by a calmness and depth that was not in line with his age!

He is from the 21st century and is a top special forces soldier. His soul has been traveling through the Wu Dynasty for a full year. His sickly appearance is just a false illusion for him to keep a low profile and confuse others.

Five years ago, the entire Guan family was murdered, and Guan Ning was poisoned and died suddenly a year ago. His time travel was just the right time for him to revive his body.

The reason why he pretended to be sick was to bide his time so that he could investigate the tragedy of the family annihilation and deal with the mysterious force that wanted to destroy the Guan family!

And Yipintang is the result of his work this year.

Recruiting heroes from all over the world is ostensibly a business endeavor, but in reality it is a means of accumulating strength to gain a firm foothold in this chaotic world.

"Are we finally here?"

"Where does the other party come from?"

"Your Highness, they are swordsmen from Liangzhou. Their identities are rather mysterious, but they are the only ones who have the goods you need. We wouldn't dare sell them to you through other channels. After all, it's a business that can cost you your life." The burly man was very respectful. His name was Sheng Qi. Without Guan Ning, he would have been just a pile of bones long ago, so he was extremely loyal.

Guan Ning nodded and said, "Inform them that I will go to the West Lake Lotus Pier at 5 p.m. tonight. I can also visit Sister Yao on the way."
