Seven days passed by in a flash. Accompanied by Amen, Yang Fei, Xing Jun and Mo Huijun arrived at the Octagonal Square at the south gate of the palace in the evening.
Flags were flying around the square. A little further inside were various sales tents, and further inside were fires arranged in formations.
The Winter Festival is also known as a paradise for foodies. Due to the backwardness of agricultural productivity in the other world, the rations harvested in the autumn are not abundant, so the people have to live in a frugal manner through the severe cold. Before the harsh days of winter come, they spend the last time eating and drinking with singing and dancing.
It’s the Winter Festival soon.
First, the king gave a speech, ascending in the last ray of sunshine before the sunset, and the loud voice resounded throughout the square with the help of magic.
The content is simply that the demon king has been resurrected. Although the situation is grim, the gods have not abandoned the people. The brave has been summoned successfully. I believe that under the leadership of the country and the brave, the demons will be defeated and the people will be relieved.
Then, the newly appointed court mage took action, and gorgeous magical fireworks bloomed over the square.
The festival began, bonfires were lit, music played, and people sang and danced.
Xing Jun, Mo Huijun and Yang Fei walked together to meet the emperor.
To Yang Fei's surprise, Xing Jun was placed in the middle of the three, with Mo Huijun on the left and Yang Fei on the right. This formation meant that Xing Jun had the highest status, Mo Huijun was second, and Yang Fei was last.
As expected, after meeting the emperor, Xing Jun stepped forward to accept the reward...
Yang Fei looked aside silently. Mo Huijun, who had been rarely seen recently, had an indifferent expression on his face, lowered his head, and didn't know what he was thinking...
After accepting the reward, Mo Huijun quietly disappeared, leaving Xing Jun and Yang Fei standing together. Xing Jun snorted coldly and walked away without caring about Yang Fei.
"Haha." Yang Fei looked around, and he was actually left alone.
A little further away, those people dressed as nobles were actually chatting together in twos and threes, and no one paid attention to him.
"Then I'll run away..."
The sheep flew towards the square where civilians gathered.
"stop."
At the very edge of the nobles' seat, where the nobles and commoners were separated by a thin line, two guards stopped Yang Fei.
"Sir, please stop. There is a civilian area ahead."
"Ah..." Yang Fei thought for a while, then suddenly turned around and pointed at an exaggeratedly dressed nobleman and said, "That gentleman asked me to do something."
The two guards followed Yang Fei's hand and pointed... "Are you talking about Mr. Rifar?"
"Yes, yes, yes! Li, that gentleman asked me to do something. I need to go to a civilian area."
"Um...well, please go and come back quickly."
"Thank you~!" Yang Fei broke through the barrier easily.
The common people sang and danced around the bonfire and it was very lively. Yang Fei followed their example and joined in, but it was like a drop of blue pen water dripping into the clear water.
This group of poor people who smelled bad did not dare to join hands with Yang Fei in the circle dance.
Yang Fei wisely left them and walked towards the edge.
“Roast lamb~! Fresh and delicious roast lamb~!”
"How to sell roasted mutton?" Yang Fei stopped in front of the tent where the meat was roasted and sold.
The lamb ribs on top are shining with oil under the firelight, and they look quite tempting.
"Reply, sir, ten copper coins per piece. If you buy it...three copper coins, no, you can do it for free!"
"Then why are you so embarrassed~!" Yang Fei didn't have any money on him. Again, he didn't have any money on him, so he lowered his head, pulled off a button on his clothes and handed it over.
"Is this okay? It seems to be gold."
"No, no, no..." The store suddenly became frightened and hurriedly handed him a piece of mutton chop, but he didn't dare to accept the button.
Yang Fei casually threw the button into the tent, and by the time the shopkeeper bent down to pick it up, Yang Fei had already disappeared.
The mutton is not delicious. There is no seasoning except salt. The strong smell of mutton is mixed with oil, which makes Yang Fei feel sick after just two bites...
He raised his hand to throw it away, but saw a dirty little girl staring longingly at him.
"Eat?"
The little girl trembled and took two steps back.
Yang Fei smiled, slowly squatted down and smiled warmly.
"Eat?"
The little girl then took her eyes away from the mutton, stared at Yang Fei, and cautiously came closer little by little. After touching the mutton chops that Yang Fei handed over, she immediately hugged and started to chew fiercely.
"Slow down, slow down..." Yang Fei's eyelids jumped.
"You are so gentle."
Yang Fei, who was squatting on the ground, felt something in his heart. Judging from the slender and childish voice, she should be a teenage girl who was still developing.
"Are you the sister of this little girl? Do you want to repay me? Okay~~~! Then come to me tonight, of course my door will not be closed. As long as you serve me well, I guarantee you prosperity and wealth.
The tickets are huge~~~!”
Yang Fei stood up and turned around. She was indeed a little girl in her early ten years, who looked completely undeveloped at the age of eleven or twelve. She was wearing a plain dress, but she was also wearing a men's loose clothes.
The girl was retreating... Before Yang Fei was squatting on the ground, she thought Yang Fei was as big as her. But when he stood up, he was not only taller than her, but also looked older. More importantly, his words were frivolous.
"Dad...Dad." The girl panicked and began to ask for help.
Yang Fei suddenly said: "Oh~, so you went out to play with your father~?"
"Ugh..." The girl saw clearly the aristocratic attire on Yang Fei's body, and immediately showed a horrified expression.
"Elizabeth!"
A middle-aged man in his prime hurried over and had a troubled expression after seeing Yang Fei's aristocratic attire.
"I'm sorry, please forgive us for being rude." The middle-aged man immediately apologized skillfully.
Should I apologize first... Yang Fei thought for a while and said, "Then I will forgive you magnanimously."
"Grateful!"
Yang Fei: "Then I'll go~"
"Leave?" The middle-aged man looked incredulous. "Are you saying you are leaving without any compensation?"
Yang Fei waved his hand without hesitation.
"Goodbye~!"
It seems that in this world, nobles are savage beasts in the eyes of common people. Just showing their faces can make people look bad. Yang Fei doesn't have the habit of bullying others.
Yang Fei returned to the noble stand. The emperor disappeared, many big nobles also disappeared, and only a few small nobles were left talking without restraint.
"I heard that the leader of the heroes is going to be replaced."
"Yes, that's right. I heard that with the permission of the king, the title of the chief hero is to be changed from the female hero to the strongest hero. The strongest hero seems to be called... called Xing Jun. It's really a weird name. As for
That female brave, what is the female brave’s name?”
Yang Fei: "Mo Huijun."
"That's right! His name is Mo Huijun. The names of these brave men are really hard to pronounce!"
Yang Fei asked from behind: "The strongest warrior Xing Jun is the leader, what will happen to the retired female warrior Mo Huijun?"
"What else can we do~." The nobleman was boasting, obviously not noticing Yang Fei. "Without reputation, no backer, and I heard she has no strength, such a woman..."
"Isn't she just an ordinary woman~~!"
A nobleman suddenly appeared and shouted, making everyone laugh.
""Hahahaha~~!!""
"Speaking of which, what's the difference between a female warrior and an ordinary woman?"
"I heard he is very short."
"I heard the skin is very delicate."
"I heard that I don't smell bad at all."
“I don’t know what it’s like to be hugged on the bed~!”
""Hahahaha~~!!""
Yang Fei narrowed his eyes behind the people... Mo Huijun's situation... seemed a bit embarrassing.
