When he saw the scar-faced man again, Li Yi knew that things were going to be bad.
Just by looking at the hateful expression on his face and his fiery eyes, it was obvious that this guy was a very vengeful person.
Last time, he had Fang and the others by his side to protect him. This time, it was just the two of them. Moreover, the young man beside him did not seem to have much combat power. It was likely that he would be defeated this time …
The two of them had already passed through the most bustling street. At this time, there were only a few passersby on both sides of the road. These people had clearly planned to surround them here.
"Scram!"
Although the young man did not recognize the scar-faced man in front of him, it was obvious that the other party was up to no good. His face darkened as he spoke coldly.
It was obvious that the enemy was strong while he was weak, but this young man was still so unyielding. This caused Li Yi to involuntarily look at him a few more times.
He was not afraid in the face of danger and did not bow down to evil forces. He had some of the demeanor that Li Yi had in the past …
"What did you say?"
The scar-faced man's expression froze. He looked at Li Yi and the young man in front of him with a gloomy expression.
Can't you see that I have so many people on my side? You actually dare to speak to me like this. Thinking of the scholar's reaction last time, the scar-faced man looked at the two of them again. Could they be blood brothers?
"Brat, I originally wanted to let you go today. Now, don't even think about leaving!" The scar-faced man stared at the young man with an unfriendly gaze and said fiercely.
Without those abnormal fellows from last time, the scar-faced man did not feel any pressure in his heart.
"I'll give you three breaths of time to finish them off!" At this time, the young man opened his mouth with a gloomy expression. It was as if he was speaking to the surrounding air.
The scar-faced man and the other men were stunned when they heard this. It was obvious that they were surprised by the young man's actions.
However, in the next moment, they could not help but burst into laughter.
"Brat, could it be that you've lost your mind …"
One of the men had just spoken halfway when a passerby who walked past him suddenly exploded and punched out. The man's body was immediately sent flying.
There was no time for the scar-faced man and the others to react. A man who was squatting down at a roadside stall and picking up goods used one hand to support himself. With a sweep of his leg, another few men fell.
Clang!
It was the sound of a long sword being unsheathed.
Suddenly, a flash of saber light flashed in front of the scar-faced man's eyes. A peddler who was carrying a load and walking by suddenly turned around, pulled out a long saber from his waist, and put it on the scar-faced man's neck.
Everything happened so suddenly. Not only did the scar-faced man and the others not expect it, but even Li Yi was stunned.
What the hell was going on?
"Let's go!"
At this moment, the young man grabbed Li Yi's arm again and walked straight past them, as if nothing had happened.
The scarred man stood there in a daze, cold sweat dripping down from his forehead.
Steamed Bun was once again held at knifepoint. At this moment, he felt as if his entire outlook on life was collapsing.
That person looked at him without any emotion, as if he was looking at a dead person!
Just from the look in his eyes, the scar-faced man knew that he really dared to kill him!
Until now, he still didn't understand why these passersby were so skilled, and why they would listen to that young man!
In the distance, there was suddenly a flurry of footsteps. A few bailiffs dressed in black jogged over.
The moment he saw those bailiffs, the scar-faced man was so moved that tears almost flowed out.
Although he didn't know how many times he had been taught a lesson by these bailiffs, at this moment, seeing their figures, the scar-faced man felt as if he had seen his family!
Family!
Come and save us!
"What are you doing, put down your sabers!"
In Anqing Prefectural City, there were actually people who dared to use sabers to hurt people on the streets. The leading bailiffs roared, pulled out the saber at his waist, and pointed it at the people in the distance.
The expression of the man holding the saber didn't change. He felt around his waist, and casually threw a token over. The bailiffs reached out and caught it. After glancing at it, his expression changed, and he hurriedly put away his saber. He jogged over and said, "Milord …"
"Take all of these people back and await punishment." The man withdrew his saber from the scar-faced man's neck, waved his hand at the bailiffs, picked up his load, and quickly disappeared into the streets.
When the bailiffs looked back, he discovered that the two people who had been standing next to him had also disappeared.
After standing in place for a moment, his expression darkened. He pointed at the ruffians, and loudly said to the bailiffs, "Take them all back!"
… …
… …
With great difficulty, he found the restroom to relieve himself. Fang came out of the restroom with a satisfied expression.
As he walked back along the street, he kept wondering if his wife had added something to his breakfast. Otherwise, how could he have gone to the restroom four times in a row, and now walk so lightly.
"Son-in-law …" Walking to the familiar corner of the street, Fang had just opened his mouth to call out when he saw that the original position was empty. He suddenly froze, and asked, "Son-in-law?"
Just as the man surnamed Fang was looking for Li Yi all over the world, Li Yi was staring at a tall gate in a daze.
The scene that had just happened on the street had already caused him to have some doubts about this young man's background. At this moment, he deeply realized that this nouveau riche's background was not ordinary.
"Ning Wang Mansion."
Above the gate, there was a large plaque with these words written squarely on it.
Of course, such a plaque could not be hung on the door of one's own house.
Could it be that this young man in front of him was actually a member of the royal family of the Jing Kingdom?
Before Li Yi could figure out this question, he was pulled into the gate by the young man.
"Young Prince!"
The two servants standing at the door hurriedly bowed to greet him.
This prince's mansion was very big. Being pulled by the young man, Li Yi didn't know how many twists and turns they had gone through, and finally stopped in front of a gatehouse.
The young man pushed the door open, and when the few people in the room looked up, they immediately stopped what they were doing, and bowed together, saying, "Young Prince!"
"Quick, make some candied fruits immediately!" The young man waved his hand at them and said in a hurried tone.
Hearing this, Li Yi was stunned for a moment. After all this time, this guy had hurriedly brought him here just to make candied fruits for him?
This was the first time that Li Yi had seen such a willful nouveau riche.
Looking around, looking at the furnishings here, it should be a kitchen or something like that. On the table beside him, there were some hawthorns and white sugar. It seemed that they had tried making candied fruits by themselves.
However, although the method of making candied fruits was simple, the ratio of sugar to water, the temperature, and the time of boiling would affect the taste of the candied fruits. Without countless predecessors' hundreds and thousands of years of exploration and experimentation, it was really not an easy thing to make delicious candied fruits.
