Chapter 830: Arrest

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Sun Qingwen fiddled with a glass teapot and clicked his tongue in wonder. He didn’t expect such a beautiful thing to come from this barbaric and backward country!

The visitors from the Yun Nation had been staying in Lan City for over two weeks, and they were most interested in the mirrors, glassware, and spices that the royal family were selling. Even though the prices were quite hefty, it didn’t seem expensive to them.

If the same products were sold in the Yun Nation, the prices would probably be higher.

The only thing that made everyone unhappy was that there were two different price tags. The aboriginals only needed to pay one tenth of the price.

Even though the people from the Yun Nation had to pay ten times the price, they still felt that the products were cheap. This indicated how much profit these products could make.

These days, they had been trying to find aboriginals to help them buy things, but to no avail.

These barbarians didn’t even want to make money from this. They were really hateful!

“Jiang Biebu wishes to see you!” said a voice that came reporting from the outside.

“Quick, bring him in.” Sun Qingwen was delighted.

There was a rush of footsteps, and after a moment, a man who was almost the same age as him was brought in.

Since Yongjiang City and Hu City were located not too far apart, they had already known each other before traveling here. Their relationship had been pretty good during this period of time.

“Brother Sun, you really can sit still. I would be suffocated if I didn’t go out for two days!” Jiang Biebu laughed out loud the moment he saw Sun Qingwen.

Sun Qingwen smiled and replied, “Brother Jiang, you are naturally active, and I really envy you for that!”

Soon after, his tone changed as he continued, “This city is said to be the capital city, but it’s actually worse than a small city in the Yun Nation. There’s almost no entertainment in the city, and it’s very desolate. The disciples of the barbarian officials can be seen everywhere. They are extremely uncivilized and are always picking fights. A few days ago, several people from the Qian family and Ai Wenfu from the Ai family were beaten up by a girl. It’s said that she is the granddaughter of Hong Wu… On the same day, Ai Wenfu and the brothers of the Qian family still went to the Hong Residence to send them gifts. Thinking of that, it’s quite ridiculous!”

“Humph, these barbarians. If it wasn’t for their usefulness…” Jiang Biebu sighed with disdain and a little bit of anger.

In any case, the Qian brothers and Ai Wenfu had the same status as him. When they got injured, he shared the pain that they felt. Back in the Yun Nation, did anyone have to endure such treatment?

“We have no power at the moment! Now that the Yun Nation has fallen… Great Xia is also busy with their own problems. We can only submit to these barbarians for now!” Sun Qingwen sighed.

He then looked up and smiled, saying, “Let’s not talk about these dreadful things, we will be returning home in two days. Once we return to the Yun Nation, we must gather for a few drinks! I have a sunshine girl at House Yihong in Hu City. She has a very seductive look and looks a little like that woman. She was originally my girl, but I had gotten tired of her. However, after seeing that woman, I’m suddenly craving her. I’ll definitely go back and have a good time with her!”

As Sun Qingwen spoke, he pointed toward the palace.

After listening to what he said, Jiang Biebu grew extremely interested and asked, “Is this for real? How similar are they?”

“40 percent!” Sun Qingwen pondered for a moment and put up four fingers.

“That’s a little low!” Jiang Biebu was pretty disappointed. How could this girl resemble the empress when she only had 40 percent similarity!

“What kind of person is that woman? She’s a world-renowned expert, and also… The empress! With her looks and personality, how could some ordinary girl be compared to her? It’s already pretty good to have 40 percent resemblance! The most important thing is that she can toyed around… You just have to fantasize a little… That feeling… Hehe!” Sun Qingwen shook his head and lowered his voice.

Jiang Biebu thought for a moment and became fascinated by this. He then laughed softly and said, “That Zhao Prince Consort has it easy!”

The two whispered and talked for a while. Brothels and romance were very common in the Yun Nation. Even if word got out and spread to others, it would simply be another romantic affair, and the two had been used to this for a long time.

After a while, Jiang Biebu mysteriously said, “I came to look for you today to tell you about a good place that I found!”

“Oh? Tell me!” Sun Qingwen was curious.

“There’s an alley in Lan City called the Four Courtyards, and there’s a place there called the Jinyu Courtyard!”

“So it’s there! I knew it the first day we arrived!” Sun Qingwen said.

“If it was just a normal brothel, there wouldn’t be anything to say about it, but there are some working ladies there who are Earth Wheel experts!” Jiang Biebu waited for Sun Qingwen’s response after finishing his sentence, and as expected, Sun Qingwen was taken aback!

“Earth Wheel?”

“Isn’t it? It’s said that the elders of several sects in the Yun Nation aren’t very old, but they are all geniuses. If we were in the past, even though our statuses weren’t low, it would be impossible for us to get a share of the action! However, since they are reduced to this state, they may actually be happy to see us!” Jiang Biebu smiled.

Earth Wheel experts could be used as offerings to the warlords of any city, and a lot of money had to be spent to support them.

Furthermore, these were just ordinary Earth Wheel experts.

They were actually graded into three ranks, namely grade three, six, and nine!

It was said that the Earth Wheel ladies in the brothel were rather good-looking and weren’t old either. They would be considered talented if they were to belong to those sects, and it would be hard to even meet one of them. Now that they were at a Lan City brothel, this made Sun Qingwen feel excited.

He would gladly sleep with them once and shorten his lifespan by three years.

“We’ll be leaving the day after tomorrow. We have to go there, try out these ‘talents’ before we leave, and fight it out with them. At least we will have something to brag about when we return!”

As soon as Jiang Biebu finished his words, Sun Qingwen got very excited and laughed out loud, declaring, “You can’t leave me out on this!”

Just as the two were imagining going to the Jinyu Courtyard and picking up those “talents” who were too far out of their reach on normal days, more than a dozen aboriginals came into the courtyard.

One of them was about two meters tall, and he stood there like a little giant with two pairs of huge axes slung behind his back. These were two handed axes to others, but had become single handed axes to him.

This burly man stood at the door and grinned. An ominous glint radiated from his eyes as he kicked the door open and said, “I’m Hong Bao from the Department of Inspection. I have come to take your heads under Her Majesty’s orders!”

Someone immediately poked his waist and said, “Sir, you said it wrong!”

“What?” Hong Bao turned his head and stared!

“Sir, we are here to arrest someone this time, not to kill them!” the other man laughed.

“Damn it! We used to just kill people directly. I totally forgot about this!” Hong Bao scratched his big bald head.

He then shouted loudly as if a landmine had just exploded, “Arrest all of them! If anyone resists, kill them all!”

All the other aboriginals charged into the courtyard except for one. He stood behind Hong Bao and reminded, “Sir, only kill those that resist!”

“It sounds more vigorous this way!” He was pleased with how he had said it. “What did Zhao Prince Consort say previously? In society, vigor is most important!”

After hearing what he said, everyone originally in the courtyard became so shocked that their legs turned to jelly!

With a deathly pale face, the Earth Wheel leader of the group shouted, “Sir, we are the envoys of Hu City and have come to celebrate Her Majesty’s wedding. What have we done wrong?”

An aboriginal kicked him to the ground and retorted, “Why all this nonsense?”
