After all, this was Fang Zhengzhi's first time in the capital. He would be lying if he said he wasn't curious. As such, he decided to shop around and try out some of the city's specialties.
He did not call Yan Xiu along. He knew that Yan Xiu had been to the capital before. Furthermore, Yan Xiu preferred a quiet environment.
He sauntered out of the inn, humming a tune.
Yan Capital was indeed bustling with activity. You could see interesting things just by taking a few steps. For example, there were some acrobatics, and there were some special foods. There were also some scholars gathering together to recite poems and appreciate the beauty of flowers …
Fang Zhengzhi liked to appreciate the scenery too.
After all, beautiful things could open up one's mind. Looking at it when you have nothing better to do would help you live a better and more carefree life.
"I have searched for her thousands of times, but when I look back, she is right there in the middle of nowhere!"
Many times, people liked to think of this "her" as all sorts of things. There were beauties, flowers, rare tea, etc...
But the "her" in Fang Zhengzhi's heart was often linked to wealth and treasures. It was a little tacky, but who would complain about having too much money?
Just like now...
Fang Zhengzhi felt that he had reached that "her".
Standing in front of him was a young lady. Her lips were slightly curved, her expression arrogant. The purplish red cloak on her made her stand out in the crowd.
She was like a fairy in flames.
The girl stared at Fang Zhengzhi with her crystal clear eyes. She stared at him.
Of course, this was not the main point. The main point was that a shiny gold ingot appeared in Fang Zhengzhi's hand. It was at least the size of a fist. This meant that it was worth at least a hundred taels of silver.
Fang Zhengzhi felt that his luck was off the charts. Someone gave him gold while he was shopping. Furthermore, he could not reject it. Why did she just give it to him?
What was she trying to do? Fang Zhengzhi was confused.
"Bring my horse to the stable. Then, feed the horse with the best fodder. Do you understand? "The young lady threw the reins into Fang Zhengzhi's hands. Then, without looking back, he walked towards the inn next to him.
Fang Zhengzhi was slightly taken aback. Then, he finally came to his senses. So this girl actually thought that he was a waiter?
But did he look like a waiter?
Fang Zhengzhi didn't think so. However, the current situation was that as long as he acted as a waiter and followed the young girl's instructions, he would be able to get a hundred taels of gold as a reward for bringing the horse to the inn's stable.
When he brought her over, he only needed to tell the inn that he was the young girl's attendant, and everything would be fine.
Using a hundred taels of gold to lead a horse, how extravagant!
Then …
The problem was, should he casually earn a hundred taels of gold?
It was definitely not Fang Zhengzhi's style to spit out the gold that he had just received. It was rare for him to hold it so tightly. Return it? Killing him was more like it.
Fang Zhengzhi looked at the reins in his hands.
Then, he looked at the snow-white horse in front of him. Even though he didn't know what breed it was, it seemed to be superior to the Snow Treading Dragon Stallion.
This girl …
He seemed to be very rich!
Fang Zhengzhi instantly confirmed that the girl walking towards the inn was definitely a wealthy person, just that she was a little too wasteful.
"Alright, since you want to squander, I have no choice but to give you face!" Fang Zhengzhi smiled and tightened his grip on the reins. Then, he reached out with his other hand and caressed the neck of the white horse.
At this moment, the young lady turned around and saw this scene. Her eyes flashed and the corners of her mouth curved into a wider smile.
"He is indeed a country bumpkin who only sees money. I really don't know what Sister Yan sees in him, hmph! " The girl snorted lightly, but her expression didn't show it. She didn't stop walking and continued to walk into the inn.
She had to go all the way!
On the opposite side of the inn. In front of the window of one of the lofts, a young man watched the scene unfold in front of the inn with widened eyes. There was a hint of pain in his eyes.
"This method … is too despicable?" The youth felt that the young girl's actions were not a good bet.
But he had no choice. After all, the young girl had promised to feed the horse whenever Fang Zhengzhi saw her. Everything else was not part of the agreement.
Even though the young girl's actions were despicable, there was nothing he could do about it.
The young man suddenly remembered what the girl had said before she left the private room. "Ninth Brother, I'm actually killing two birds with one stone. Aren't I very smart?"
Killing two birds with one stone...
Indeed, killing two birds with one stone. My Purple Lightning Dragon Stallion is gone, and her anger has been unleashed.
...
This seemed like a perfect plan. A chance encounter in front of the inn, then a large sum of money for a stranger to do something for you.
There was no risk, but the rewards were huge.
No one would be able to resist this temptation.
Fang Zhengzhi could not resist either. Or rather, he did not want to resist.
The young girl had won on this point.
However, even the most perfect plan in this world would have accidents. For example, the young girl had predicted that Fang Zhengzhi would place the gold in his pocket, and Fang Zhengzhi had indeed done so.
But...
She had underestimated Fang Zhengzhi, or rather, overestimated him.
...
Fang Zhengzhi quickly kept the gold in his Heart Protection Mirror. Then, he looked at the young girl who had already walked to the entrance of the inn. He smiled.
The young girl did not turn back. She walked straight into the inn.
Fang Zhengzhi didn't turn back either. However, he wasn't heading towards the inn. Instead, he was heading in the opposite direction of the inn. Furthermore, he was riding on the girl's snow-white, top-grade horse.
"Since you have money, I will satisfy your whims!" Fang Zhengzhi hummed as he rode, galloping happily through the capital, kicking up a cloud of dust.
The young man standing in front of the window witnessed everything from beginning to end.
His eyes were even wider than before, and even his mouth was agape. Disbelief was written all over his face. He felt that as a young lady, Ninth Brother, she should have stepped forward to stop this scene at this time.
But he did not...
He wanted to praise Fang Zhengzhi, "Well done!"
...
The young girl stayed in the inn for a while before walking out. She felt that it was about time. Fang Zhengzhi should have finished feeding the horse by now.
He was indeed a country bumpkin. How could he be a good match for Sister Yan?
The young girl smiled as she waved the whip in her hand happily.
"Smack!" A crisp sound rang through the air. Then, her smile widened. She seemed to see a Purple Lightning Dragon Stallion with a purple lightning bolt on its forehead. Its entire body was as black as ink.
"Purple Lightning, White Snow, this is a match made in heaven!"
The girl's clear and melodious voice rang out. Her golden silk boots lightly kicked the ground as she hopped towards the direction of the inn's stable like a little bird.
How could she let her precious pet rest in the rundown stable of the inn?
"Sorry, White Snow. When we get back, I will get you your favorite golden silk grass! Right, I will find you a good man who loves you, hahaha... "
The young girl was very excited. She walked very quickly, her face flushed and her lips curled into a smile.
However, the smile on her face soon froze. There were only three horses in the inn's stable, and Snow White was not one of them.
"Where is my White Snow?!"
The young girl was confused. Then, she looked at the surrounding stables. "Where is my White Snow? Who stole my White Snow! "
As she thought of this, her gaze quickly fell on a groom who was feeding the horses beside the stable.
With a light leap, he appeared in front of the coachman like a flame. His purplish-red cloak fluttered, revealing a set of bright-colored armor.
"Tell me, where is my White Snow?"
"White Snow? What White Snow?! " The coachman was feeding fodder to the stable, and when he heard the girl's words, a trace of doubt appeared on his face.
"It's Snow Jade, my Snow Jade!"
"Snow Jade?!" The stableman was horrified. As a stableman, he naturally knew what a Snow Jade was. However, the number of people who owned a Snow Jade in the entire Flame Capital City could be counted on one hand. Furthermore, the young lady in front of him was dressed like this.
Furthermore, there was only one person!
Oh my god...
The groom's legs turned to jelly.
"No, the heavens are my witnesses. I have never seen a Snow Jade. I haven't even blinked since this morning. I really didn't see it!"
The coachman knelt down with a plop. Two lines of tears hung on his face in an instant. He knew very well that as long as the girl in front of him gave the order, he would probably be beheaded immediately.
"No? Didn't a country bumpkin bring my Snow Jade over to feed me? "The young girl was in disbelief.
"Just now?! No, I swear on my head! "
"If you dare to lie to me, I will kill you right now!"
"I don't dare, I really don't dare! I wouldn't dare to lie to you even if I had all the courage in the world! "The coachman said as he kowtowed on the ground, and the knocking sounds were very urgent.
"Let him go, he is telling the truth. Fang Zhengzhi rode the Snow Jade away." At this moment, the youth appeared exasperated.
"What?! That country bumpkin not only took my gold, but also... he rode my Snow Jade?! "The young girl seemed to be unable to react. Her clear eyes were full of disbelief.
In an instant, she recalled the last time she turned her head around at the entrance of the inn. Fang Zhengzhi's smile appeared on his face. Originally, she thought that it was the uncontrollable smile of a country bumpkin seeing gold.
