Chapter 165 The Arena

Chapter 165 Competition Field

When he woke up the next day, Shen Shuxuan's head felt like an explosion of pain.

When he saw the woman lying beside his bed, Shen Shuxuan's eyes softened.

Shen Shuxuan's movement also made Jiang Ci wake up slightly. Seeing that Shen Shuxuan had woken up, his face suddenly became happy:

"Master! You're awake!"

"Yeah." Shen Shuxuan raised the corners of his lips slightly,

"You drank a lot yesterday. I'm going to make you some hangover soup so that you can recover faster."

Jiang Ci said and was about to leave,

But Shen Shuxuan grabbed his wrist,

"What's wrong, master?"

"Did I... make a mistake... last night?" When asking this question,

Shen Shuxuan himself is extremely guilty! He knows very well what he looks like when he is drunk!

He! Both physically and mentally! He has been destroyed to pieces!

At first glance, he is a complete body! But under this body, there is a wounded heart full of holes!

He! Just wants to destroy everything!

Jiang Ci's eyebrows were smiling: "Master, what did you say? How could you lose your composure?"

That's the real him!

It has flesh and blood and flaws! It’s much more real than it is now.

When Shen Shuxuan heard these words, something seemed to flow slowly through his heart.

And I have already gone to make sobering medicine for Shen Shuxuan!

Shen Shuxuan was lying on the bed, rubbing his temples. He indulged himself too much last night and really shouldn't!

If he had talked like this in Qingmian Pavilion last night, I'm afraid he wouldn't have survived the next day.

But this did not delay him from hearing the movement outside the house, the sonorous and powerful words, and the sound of armor rubbing against each other. He was all too familiar with it!

I went out with some staggering steps,

Only then did he realize that his bright and flamboyant little wife was going back and forth with the leading officers and soldiers.

The dialogue was not at a disadvantage in the slightest.

"Madam, what's wrong?"

"It's okay! This person insists on breaking in! Husband, please go back and lie down. I will deal with it soon."

Shen Shuxuan shook his head at Jiang Ci.

He bowed politely to the leading officer and soldier: "I wonder what's going on, sir?"

The officers and soldiers also bowed to Shen Shuxuan, but there was no sign of respect in their movements.

"Shen Jieyuan, my master is the Marquis of Ding'an. Because I like the young master's literary talent, I asked him to come to the house to talk about it."

"My husband is just a commoner, and he will definitely not be in the eyes of the marquis. I invite you to..."

Before Jiang Ci could finish his words, the officers and soldiers had already drawn their swords towards Shen Shuxuan.

The leading officer and soldier had a sword, and dozens of people behind him drew their swords in response.

This is undoubtedly a very spectacular scene.

"Mr. Shen, the Marquis asked us to do something! If we don't invite Mr. Shen to the house, wouldn't Mr. Shen make it difficult for us?"

Jiang Ci looked at the officers and soldiers unsheathing their swords, and his eyes grew cold little by little.

But Shen Shuxuan blocked Jiang Ci: "It is Shen's honor to be favored by the Marquis of Ding'an with just one solution? Please wait a moment, Mr. Shen needs to change his clothes!"

The officers and soldiers sneered lightly,

Putting the sword back into the scabbard, they stood in neat rows in Shen Shuxuan's courtyard.

Jiang Ci followed Shen Shuxuan back to the bedroom: "Master! This Marquis of Ding'an must be coming with bad intentions!"

"Um."

Shen Shuxuan did not make any rebuttal,

"Then I'll go and beat these officers and soldiers away!"

"Why are you always so impulsive?" Shen Shuxuan chuckled,

Jiang Ci's eager thoughts stopped.

"Fight this wave of officers and soldiers away, there will be another wave! Next wave! Next wave! He has 100,000 soldiers, can he finish the fight?"

"Then capture the thief first and capture the king first! Go to the Hou Mansion and capture the old thief!"

Shen Shuxuan shook his head,

He smiled at Jiang Ci: "Hey, didn't you say you want to do some business in the capital? Go and do your work! Wait for me to come back!"

Jiang Ci was a little confused about the word "good".

Somehow, this simple word, coming out of the master's mouth, was really a bit alluring.

"Still not leaving? Are you ready to watch me change clothes?"

Jiang Ci immediately ran away.

After sending Shen Shuxuan and the officers and soldiers out of the house, in order not to think too much, Jiang Ci took Xiao An out to inspect the market.

The capital is bustling, with constant hawking on the streets, all kinds of shops, and stalls everywhere.

Most of the clothes worn by travelers are mid- to high-end, and coarse linen shirts are not that common!

Even for people's daily travels, many people go out by carriage. This shows that there are many rich and noble people in the capital!

Xiao An found every stall unique and novel.

After shopping around for 2 hours, I finally decided on a shop in Dongshi. It was located in a remote place with not many pedestrians. I rented it for 3 months and spent 30 taels of silver!

"My dear, 30 taels of silver is enough to buy ten acres of land in our village. I thought I only bought a small shop in the capital! It's only been three months..."

Qian Guixiang looked surprised,

"Mom! You know now that we have to make a lot of money in this capital, right?"

"I know, I know!"

When Xiao Ci said that she had thousands of taels of silver in her hand, she thought that it was enough to be a rich wife in the capital. She didn't expect that she was still far away from becoming a rich wife!

Then Qian Guixiang stayed to clean the shop,

Jiang Ci and Xiao An went to the tooth shop and wanted to buy two boys.

She was too lazy to quarrel with others, so she might as well take the young man's lifeline into her own hands from the beginning.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she entered the dental clinic, she met an extremely enthusiastic boy:

"Guest, you came at the right time today. We are having a martial arts contest at Yaxing right now!"

"Sister, is there something wrong with this man's brain? He doesn't even know us, so he just asked us to go to that...competition field!"

Jiang Ci smiled and explained softly to Xiao An's ear: "A way to make money! People in the competition field can buy and sell freely. Those with higher prices can be sold for thousands of taels of silver."

Xiao An looks like he has seen the world!

"Okay! Take us there!"

The boy brought out a tray even more enthusiastically: "Okay, the competition tickets are 2 taels per person!"

Jiang Ci took out 4 taels of broken pieces and put them in the waiter's tray.

"Okay, here are the two distinguished guests of the martial arts arena!" the boy shouted loudly,

Soon the two of them were taken into an underground competition arena by the servant.

There were more than a thousand people watching like them, and all of them looked at the two fighting men in the middle of the round platform with red eyes.

Xiao An was shocked by this scene,

Somewhat frightened, she climbed onto Jiang Ci's arm,

Jiang Ci patted An Xin's hand and comforted her heartily: "I'm here!"

The two found two empty seats in the last row, and the competition in the middle of the round platform had entered a fierce stage.

There was a roar in my ears,

In the end, the big guy on the left won. Some people's faces turned red with excitement and they wanted to jump three feet high.

Others also lowered their heads and sighed, their teeth itching with hatred.

Xiao An was confused: "Sister, what are these people doing?"

Jiang Ci also went to a casino in her previous life, and most of the people there were these two types of people.

I'm afraid this place is said to be a fighting arena, but it's actually a casino!
