Chapter 274 – Challenging Silver Gong

The woman looked to be in her thirties, with an ordinary figure and even more mediocre posture.

Xu Qi’an had seen quite a few beauties of the same age, such as Chen Guifei; such as the Empress; such as his family’s aunt. In terms of face value and stature, each of them had to hang on to this woman.

But she has a drive that these beautiful women don’t have.

Petulant ……. Yes, that’s the kind of petulance.

It’s rare to see this kind of temperament in an old aunt.

Xu Qi’an had a number in her heart, but her mouth wouldn’t admit it, “What purse?”

“A light green purse with twenty taels of gold inside.” The woman pressed her hands on the desktop, looking down at Xu Qi’an and gritting her teeth, “Give it back to me.”

Yellow, gold? Xu Qi’an’s heart thumped, but his surface remained calm, even puzzled: “This lady, you’ve lost your purse, what’s it got to do with me.”

“Auntie!?” She screamed.

This aunt’s face was red with anger, and her ears were red, her eyes wide open, glaring at Xu Qi’an with anger that wanted to spurt.

This reaction is what is going on, how old they are heart do not know ……. Xu Qi’an waved her hand and sent her away, “I didn’t pick up your purse, hurry up and get out.”

The woman took a deep breath and shouted back, “Come here!”

At the entrance of the staircase, a probe revealed the face of a child, the very same child who had just been scared away by Xu Qi’an and who had witnessed him picking up the purse.

“It’s him, he’s the one who picked up the purse and threatened me.” The child pointed at Xu Qi’an and said loudly.

The drinkers around them had sideways glances, and the sultry woman also looked over, smiling and watching the show.

“Kid, come here.” Xu Qi’an beckoned.

The child shook his head and stared warily at Xu Qi’an.

Xu Qi’an fished out a grain of broken silver from his pocket, flexed his fingers and flicked it, the silver landed on the ground and rolled in front of the child with a grunt as he smiled and said:

“Repeat that again, I didn’t hear you just now.”

The child picked up the broken silver with a smile on his brow and exclaimed, “I didn’t see anything, I don’t know anything.”

Xu Qi’an laughed out loud, “Go buy candy canes to eat.”

The kid went downstairs with joy.

The two gongs followed with laughter, teasingly looking at the woman of mediocre posture.

The surrounding drinkers also moved their gazes away, uninterested in watching anymore, and continued to focus on the fight in the ring.

Even a rookie who is new to the capital knows that the night watchman is a snake in the capital and cannot be messed with. This woman seems to be short-sighted and doesn’t know the power of the night watchman.

Not to mention picking up your purse, or even dragging you to the box to have sex, if you don’t have a backstage, there’s nothing you can do.

The woman stared at Xu Qi’an for a moment, suddenly spreading a smile that was actually somewhat unspeakably charming.

She sat down graciously, picked up Xu Qi’an’s unused bowls and chopsticks, and ate as if no one else was there, seemingly genuinely hungry, and began to eat a bit hastily, and after padding her stomach, her eating immediately turned elegant.

When she had drunk a small cup of wine, she looked at Xu Qi’an and said with a cold smile, “Hehe, won’t this lord escort the young lady to the Yamen tied up in five pieces?”

Xu Qi’an calmly responded, “Auntie, it’s just a few mouthfuls of rice, not so much.”

This woman reckoned that she was hungry at meal time, and once she touched her purse and lost it, she searched the same way and found him here.

The older woman ……. She gritted her teeth a little more.

“Hmph, I’d say he’s an anointed son lying on the merit books of his elders, otherwise how could he become a silver gong at such a young age.” A young warrior on the side lowered his voice and said hatefully.

The woman, who was the same age as her aunt, sniffed and slanted a provocative glance at Xu Qi’an.

“That’s right, if you even covet an older woman’s purse, you know it’s not good.” Another young warrior whispered.

When the woman heard this, she said with an expressionless face, “You’re a silver gong at least, don’t you get angry when people talk behind your back?”

This woman is quite careful …….. Xu Qi’an smiled and asked, “What do you think should be done.”

The woman said angrily, “All of them will be sent to the robber barracks.”

This was heard by the young warriors at the neighboring table, but they did not raise their voices and silenced themselves by tacit agreement. After all, they didn’t dare to mess with the beat shift.

“This is excessive, people are just crumbling a few words.” After Xu Qi’an finished, he added, “Looking poor, he can’t squeeze out a few taels of silver, wasting his energy.”

The young warriors dared to be angry.

The woman stopped ignoring Xu Qi’an and took small sips of wine and food while watching the martial artists fighting in the ring with great interest.

The reason why Xu Qi’an didn’t kick out this interesting older woman was because she didn’t think she was as ordinary as she looked from the outside.

To reiterate, she was indeed quite ordinary in appearance, with no voluptuous and alluring figure, no beautiful and attractive appearance.

But her identity should be uncommon, a normal person wouldn’t go out with so much silver, half a catty, eight taels, twenty taels would be about a catty out.

It wasn’t heavy, even a child could afford this slight weight, but twenty taels of silver was the equivalent of a year’s savings for an ordinary family.

If it’s gold, it’s unimaginably huge.

This older woman, on the other hand, wore the clothes of an ordinary woman, but her hair was black and beautiful, tied up with a wooden pin. Using Xu Qi’an’s words from her previous life to describe it:

A groundhog, a hundred dollars couldn’t be more.

However, such an ordinary aunt, for the black-hearted night watchman who had picked up her lost huge sum of money, just pinched her waist and glared, and her annoyance at Xu Qi’an for picking up something and not returning it was even more than the lost huge sum of money.

Is this the kind of temperament an ordinary person can have?

Twenty taels of silver, if it were Xu Qi’an himself, he would have already played with the guy who picked up the money and didn’t return it.

If it is twenty taels of gold, well, Ma Yun has already called the police.

“This lord, can my daughter accompany your lord for a few drinks?”

At that moment, that slutty and sultry woman walked over with a wine glass in her hand, her lotus steps, twisting her small waist.

Xu Qi An realized that she was wearing a long skirt with a drawstring waist, a ribbon outlining the small waist of the surplus, this body, tsk tsk ……

He subconsciously glanced at the older woman beside him again, what she wore was conservative, a thick cloth dress, and at this age, her figure was not good enough, I’m afraid.

“Sure.”

Xu Qi’an hurriedly signaled the beauty to take her seat, but the problem came, all four stools were seated, and there was a pair of pretty almond-eyed flirtatious woman looking left and right, unwilling to take her seat.

She didn’t dare to offend the two gongs, so she looked at the woman with a soft gaze and smiled lightly, “This aunt ……..”

Aunt fiercely back to the head, eyes very aggressive staring at the enchanting woman, but after looking up and down a bit, this more than thirty aunt, actually disdainful “heh” a sound, twisted back to continue to look at the fight.

What was that look in her eyes? Her eyes were full of contempt and disdain …….. The enchanting woman narrowed her eyes, it was the first time a woman looked at herself with such eyes.

In the past, wherever she went, she was the center of men’s eyes.

Her every move in the eyes of a man is flavorful, seductive, and blood rushing to the head.

And women envied her, were jealous of her, and belabored her.

But this older older woman had just had naked disdain in her eyes.

Xu Qi’an glanced at the gong on his left side, which knew its place, and immediately picked up his saber and said in a respectful voice, “My lord, my humble servant has gone to patrol the streets.”

Xu Qi’an let out a “hmmm” and smiled as he made an inviting gesture, “Woman warrior, please take a seat.”

The enchanting woman smiled sweetly and pressed the hem of her skirt to sit down.

She had been observing Xu Qi’an for a long time, and this man was a good prey, first of all, he was handsome in appearance, with features as delicate as a carving, and his eyes shining like they contained stars.

With a high nose and thick black sword eyebrows, paired with a hard face profile, a masculine aura comes out.

In addition, what she cared more about was Xu Qi’an Yinluo’s identity, to achieve this position at such a young age, either her own talent was too good, or there were elders at home with real power in their hands.

Either way, they were worthy of her friendship and closeness.

“I have yet to ask your honor’s name.”

“Xu Qi’an ……. Miss name?”

“Hibiscus.”

Rong Rong girl ah, have a license number ……. Xu Qi’an laughed, “Good name, heavenly fairy-like name with heavenly fairy-like person.”

Covering her mouth with a delicate smile, Miss Rong Rong added, “Slave has another title, called Pinning Hand.”

Xu Qi’an put down his wine glass and repeatedly sized up Miss Rongrong, who didn’t care when he stared at her nakedly, but instead straightened her back.

“I’ve heard a lot about you.”

Xu QiMin said, “Is this my peach blossom luck. In the morning, I had just heard my second uncle talk about the four most beautiful female warriors in the capital, and I met them at noon.

“Ahem!”

He put down the wine cup and introduced himself, “So it’s Miss Rong Rong of the Soul Pinning Hands, reacquaint yourself with me, this officer Xu Qi’an, my family’s uncle works as an officer in the Royal Sword Guards.”

As soon as Pin Hand Rong heard this, she was a little disappointed.

Although the Imperial Sword Guard was one of the five guards of the capital, the position determined the power, and it was not considered an illustrious government office.

But Xu Qi’an’s next sentence made Miss Rongrong change her understanding.

“Back then, I used to follow Mr. Wei’s command, and I made many meritorious achievements in the Battle of Shanhaiguan. It is because of this relationship that I was able to get a position in the night watchman’s office.

“King of Goodwill is my shi’ei, and is a close friend of my father, and my lord father was an earl, but unfortunately he went early and failed to fight for hereditary disqualification, and when it came to me, I was left with only a small viscount.”

Uncle is a close friend of Duke Wei, father is a close friend of King Yu, and he himself is a silver gong and a viscount ………. Miss Rongrong froze, her beautiful eyes gazing unblinkingly at Xu Qi’an.

She had heard that the capital city was full of honors and nobles, and that if she ran into a random guy, there might be an official in his family.

But how high is Wei Yuan’s rank? No matter how noble your status is, is it as noble as the King of Honor?

For a while, the Rong Rong girl grew more and more enthusiastic.

In his previous life, because of socializing, he did not less in and out of nightclubs, teasing this kind of woman handy, not greedy for her body, Xu Qi’an just miss the feeling of the beginning.

Occasionally saying some dirty words and flirting a few times, this charming woman who called herself Rong Rong, nicknamed Pin Hand, would not be angry.

Instead of a good woman, she would have spat at him with a red face: bah, denizen.

For those of you who are a little more feisty, the 24-karat titanium slaps of a straight woman of steel have already been called up.

At this time, Rong Rong looked toward the ring and said, as if inquiring and examining, “What does Mr. Xu think, who will lose and who will win between these two?”

“Naturally, it’s that young warrior who makes swords.” Xu Qi’an did not hesitate.

“Even a fool can see that.” Old Auntie snorted coldly and brushed off her presence.

The young warrior with the sword pressed the man with the axe to fight from beginning to end, idly walking with his sword, and his skillful swordplay drew applause from the crowd of gourmets from time to time.

“Before the Qi Practicing Realm, the level of strength was based on physical fitness, and the axe man was above the young warrior with the sword in terms of both qi and physical fitness. But why is he at a disadvantage? That young warrior’s swordsmanship is nothing more than flowery.” Xu Qi’an said.

The old aunt didn’t bother, but quietly pricked up her ears.

“I guess it’s an actor.” Xu Qi’an reveals the truth.

“Actors?”

Rong hadn’t heard of that word.

“It’s just playing along.” Xu Qi’an explained.

Rong Rong came to a realization and said admiringly, “So that’s how it is, Lord Xu’s eyes are like a torch.”

Said the man, with a matching look of adoration in his eyes.

Lao Si Ji has …….. Xu Qi’an didn’t break it down and matched it with a smug smile.

Miss Rong Rong’s breath was deep and contained, not a weak hand, and she must have seen through the tricks in the ring long ago. It was only the bratty old aunt who hadn’t seen it yet, and was skeptical of Xu Qi’an’s words.

At that moment, the young warrior in the ring grasped away the han’s axe with a sword, flew up and kicked the opponent in the chest, and the big axe in the han’s hand was dislodged and flew out of the ring.

After this, no one took to the stage for a long time.

“I’m full, give me back my purse.” Old Auntie retracted her gaze fondly and glared at Xu Qi’an.

Xu Qi’an pretended not to hear, and she didn’t pester her, just looked at Xu Qi’an for a long time and got up to go downstairs without a word.

“The back is actually not bad.” The only remaining gong lamented.

After saying that, he realized that he was despised by Xu Qi’an and Miss Rongrong.

“Has the lad lacked a mother’s love since childhood.”

Xu Qi’an patted the little gong’s shoulder, then reached into his pocket and touched the light green purse, opening it up to see an ingot of yellow-orange gold.

“Thick, it’s really gold.” Tongluo’s eyes widened, revealing a look of ecstasy: “My lord, rich rich rich.”

Xu Qi’an tied the purse’s spike and said, “Don’t think about this kind of ill-gotten wealth.”

With a flick of his hand, he tossed the purse out of the building.

Immediately after that, a woman’s scream came from downstairs, and the purse smashed right on the old auntie’s toes, and she crouched down on the floor, her skirt spread out, with a packet of tears in her eyes, grimacing while glaring up at the second floor with hatred.

“Auntie, hurry home.” Xu Qi’an kindly reminded.

The old aunt bit her lip, picked up her purse, and left with a pout.

………

Xu Qi’an was still going through the motions with Miss Rong Rong, both sides committed to keeping each other in their fishponds. There weren’t too many scummy girls in this era, they liked to show off and then cultivate young handsome men into their skirts.

This kind of woman is the ancient version of green tea.

Xu Qi’an hadn’t encountered a scummy girl in a long time, and happily accompanied her through her moves.

About a quarter of an hour later, an angry roar suddenly came from the direction of the ring, “Xu Qi’an, get your ass down here.”

“???”

Xu Qi’an looked outward in bewilderment and saw a man in rough clothing standing in the ring, a man eight feet tall with a beard and eyes as big as bronze bells.

Standing proudly in the ring, he was majestic.

Even the people who were watching could perceive that the aura of this good man was different from those jianghu warriors before.

Xu Qi’an was a bit puzzled, saying who the hell are you.

“Lord Xu knows this man?”

Rong pursed her fiery red lips and looked scornfully at the hanyou.

Xu Qi’an shook his head, “I don’t recognize it.”

“Then leave it alone.” Rong Rong softly said, “This person’s body surface flickers with divine light, he is an expert of the Copper Skin and Iron Bone realm …….. Lord Xu is naturally not afraid of him, but there are people all around, so if we fight, we fear that innocents will be injured.”

This was said in a euphemistic manner, saving face for Xu Qi’an. But Rong Rong knew in her heart that ten Xu Qi Ans were afraid that they would not be a match for that expert.

After all, he had become a silver gong on the merit of his ancestors.

“Shiftman Yinluo Xu Qi’an, get the hell out of here and kowtow to make amends, or else I’ll crush your head today.” The hanyou shouted.

“Wow …..”

The onlookers and the jungle visitors clamored.

It turns out that Xu Qi’an is actually a famous night watchman, or a silver gong? Since the establishment of the Magnificent Chivalry Terrace, there was finally a jianghu guest who wanted to challenge the Yamen masters.

The young warriors at the opposite table first stared blankly before quickly looking back at Xu Qi’an.

Their faces were almost a mold – gloating.

“Come out and call your father, kneel down and kowtow, or else my old man will come up to the stage every day and shout. The night watchman silver gong Xu Qi’an, son, get out.”

The man’s medium-vibrant voice spread throughout the scene, and a large group of watching guests poured out of the surrounding wine shops and teahouses.
