"How dare you!" Mrs. Beigong slapped the table, causing the teacup on the table to jump.
"Why don't I dare?" Beigong Langyue's eyes showed no emotion.
Beigong Langyue was different from ordinary people since she was a child. She was disliked and despised countless times. Except for her grandmother and the fairy girl, she never received love from anyone else. Because she had never received it, she was not afraid of losing it.
Mrs. Beigong was startled. Thinking about it carefully, there was really nothing that could be done to hold him back. If before, he could still tease his wife and threaten her. Now, he doesn't even have this only weakness.
"Three days." Beigong Langyue left these words and turned around.
"Wha... what three days?" Mrs. Beigong's heart palpitated. It couldn't be what she thought.
"If you don't return the painting after three days, Zhao Xing will be sent to prison."
"Then... those painting stars have been sold... how can I get them back?" Mrs. Beigong covered her chest.
"Then pay back the money." Beigong Langyue didn't want to be influenced by others. He needed a lot of money to establish his own power.
Before Mrs. Beigong could say anything else, Beigong Langyue left.
Mrs. Beigong was panting heavily with anger. She was really feeling unwell now.
Beigong Langyue returned to Qingqiuyuan and asked Xia Sheng to notify the servants of the Helian family who had come as dowry, and asked them to pack their luggage and send them back to the Helian family in the afternoon.
After Qiu Shui heard the news, he quickly reported it to his master.
In the afternoon, Beigong Langyue took a carriage and took a dozen people out of Beigong's house. Just after walking two streets, he met Helian Jue.
"Just leave it to me, you're done." He Lianjue came up to greet him.
"Okay." Beigong Langyue watched Helianjue take the people away. He didn't need to go to Helian's house, but he didn't know where to go for a while, "Xia Sheng."
"What orders do you have, Master?" Xia Sheng responded.
"Where in Yunling City has a better collection of books?" Beigong Langyue decided to go shopping on the street.
"The library with the most complete collection of books should probably be the library in our house." Since the young master rarely left home, Xia Sheng didn't know much about the outside world.
"Ahem." Beigong Langyue felt that this boy... was a bit silly, so he said to the coachman, "Go to the street where there are many bookstores and calligraphy and painting shops."
"Yes, eldest son." The driver was very familiar with all parts of the city, and he quickly drove the car to a street not far from Yunling Academy.
This street is mostly for student businesses, including bookstores, calligraphy and painting shops, and many shops selling the Four Treasures of the Study.
Beigong Langyue got off the car and walked into the nearest bookstore. Beigong Langyue didn't want to buy anything specifically, so he went from shop to shop and bought a few books and some paints.
Xia Sheng was holding large and small bags in his hands, and Beigong Langyue took a fancy to an old book on the street stall.
Xia Sheng raised his arm: "The money bag is in the small sleeve pocket. Master, come and get it."
"Okay." Beigong Langyue took out the money bag from Xia Sheng's sleeve pocket. Before he could open it, an unkempt beggar snatched it away.
"There is a thief!" Xia Sheng immediately chased him, "Hurry and catch the thief!"
Beigong Langyue also chased after him, but his physical fitness was average. He was exhausted after chasing a few alleys. He found that this place was a bit remote, and his intuition was not right. He just wanted to call Xia Sheng back and stop chasing.
The red shadow flashed past, and the fist with the wind came towards him. Huangfuye moved too fast, and Beigong Langyue didn't know martial arts, so he couldn't avoid it. The body's stress reaction made him subconsciously step back, but he was accidentally knocked behind him.
He tripped over the pile of baskets and fell down into the basket.
Huangfuye didn't expect Beigong Langyue to be able to do such a good job. He couldn't hold back his strength and rushed forward a few steps. The debris behind the basket was already shaky, but with such a collision, it fell down with a loud crash.
A vegetable basket-like object was thrown at Huangfu Ye's head. He waved his whip and directly split the basket into two halves. The thatch in the basket fell one after another, and the eggs inside were also smashed. The head of his pocket was wet.
On Huangfuye’s hair, clothes, and whip...
The rotten egg knocked Huangfu Ye unconscious. The black and green egg liquid fell from the top of his head to his cheeks. Huangfu Ye's whole body felt bad.
At this time, Beigong Langyue climbed out of the basket. There was a lot of straw on his body, but he didn't care about picking it. He quickly shot a signal smoke into the air to call for rescue.
Huangfu Ye felt that he had suffered a big loss. Although Beigong Langyue's reaction was quite slow, he was still angry and wanted to 'test' some more to vent his anger.
Huangfu raised his whip at night and struck Beigong Langyue. Before the whip could reach Beigong Langyue, he was stopped by a black gold sword.
Huangfuye fought with a black-clothed guard who suddenly appeared. Before he was poisoned, his martial arts was superior to this guard. But now, it was difficult to even fight. Huangfuye saw that the situation was not good, so he feinted.
Then ran.
Beigong Langyue was a little unsure. Did the guards he summoned come so quickly? But if the enemy of the man in red had already run away, he should chase after him, right?
Beigong Langyue was still thinking when he saw two young men in sky blue brocade clothes walking out of the corner of the alley.
On the first day of the day, he came forward and reported: "Master, that man ran away, and the sixth day of the day followed him."
"Yeah." Si Haochen nodded.
Beigong Langyue felt that the young master was really kind-hearted, especially his eyes, which seemed to be filled with starlight and dewdrops. They had already been deeply engraved in his mind: "You are... that girl."
"Um..." Mingruo touched his cheek, "Is it so easy to recognize him?"
Although it was very dangerous just now, Beigong Langyue smiled and nodded sincerely: "Yes."
Mingruo felt that there was nothing to talk about today, so she decided to change the topic: "Why don't you bring a guard when you go out?"
"I... didn't expect someone to attack..." Beigong Langyue replied softly.
First of all, Beigong Langyue really didn't expect to be attacked. Secondly, having his grandfather's people follow him would make him feel like he was being watched, and he didn't like it.
"Your second wife doesn't want you to have an easy time. Besides, you are the eldest grandson of the Beigong family. Even kidnapping for money is a lot of money. You should be more careful..." Mingruo was really defeated by Beigong Langyue's naivety.
"..." Beigong Langyue couldn't refute.
Ming Ruo took out a package of something from his 'sleeve pocket' and stuffed it directly into Beigong Langyue's arms, "The oil paper package contains the drug. If you are in danger, scatter it and run away. The porcelain bottle contains the antidote. When you scatter it,
Hold your breath, and if you don’t run far, take one. Don’t let yourself get caught before the enemy is knocked down..."
Mingruo didn't have too many medicines to use, so this was regarded as compensation for mental damage. The man in red must have been eyeing his husband. Beigong Langyue was unlucky and directly took the blame...
"Thank you." Beigong Langyue didn't refuse. He was indeed too weak.
On the first day of the new year, I felt that there were about ten people with good skills approaching here: "Master, someone is coming."
