Chapter 60: Burnt Biscuit

  "Why?" The young lady was incredulous, thinking that her place was much better than this one.

  "This place is already ours, no one else is welcome!!"

  The big sister heard a faint voice coming from Xiao Yao, faint because of some distance, but he was indeed over there!

  The big sister soon passed by, she quickly understood the carefree choice, and immediately made a decision, which was to give up the front yard, she wanted to live here!

  Because here is the quietest, separated by a small river, surrounded by fake mountains and small bamboo forests. At the same time, there is also a back door here that can be completely independent of the large courtyard just now!

  "Little kid, how did you know there was such a place?"

  "It's nothing, let's go to the highest place and take a look, then we'll know!!" said Xīao Yóu carelessly. "Actually, it's all because of Boss's quick speed, she chose this place at a glance and grabbed it!"

  "Seventh sister, awesome!!" The young lady praised.

  The lone star replied somewhat absent-mindedly: "Actually, it's nothing much. You all want to rush for the better spots and are afraid others will get there first, so you're a bit anxious. I just like quiet places and am not in a hurry."

  "Susu, how did you know again?" The young lady asked once more.

  " I saw Xiao Yao... and Gu Xing go over there..." said Third Miss.

  "Oh!"

  At this time, Xiao Yao said: "Third Miss, you should be with Miss Han and the others. Although it's quiet here, all three of them are martial artists, and when they practice later, they will disturb you!"

  "Ah, it's okay, I won't be affected!" Miss Three shook her head immediately.

  "Hmm, Third Sister will be practicing her Ice Heart Technique. Even if the sky were to fall, it wouldn't disturb her!" said Nangong Suzhen.

  "Alright, that's settled then. The room seems just right for us. You two sleep upstairs and I'll sleep downstairs!" Xiangyao didn't mind either. Ice Heart Incantation was a kind of auxiliary heart method, many people knew it, mainly to calm the mind down. Scholars who used Ice Heart Incantation indeed had very good effects.

  "Nonsense, of course you sleep downstairs, hurry up and get ready for food and drink!" The young lady said bluntly.

  "This they will prepare for themselves, I'll take a few days off for myself, you guys stay here and prepare for battle, I'm going to stroll around this capital city, I heard there are blonde-haired blue-eyed beauties here!!" said Xiao Yao.

  “……”

  "Who allowed you to take a break? We're preparing for battle, you should be waiting on the sidelines!!" The big sister was furious. They were in a critical moment and didn't expect Xiang Yang to be so carefree, taking a break and being idle, which made her unbearable.

  "Me!" Lone Star replied, "I'm ready to spend a few days strolling with Xiangyang!"

  “……”

  "Let's just have fun instead! Why don't we just play together!!" The big sister suddenly changed her strategy, thinking that she didn't need to prepare for battle, and besides, she wasn't trying to win anyway.

  The two sisters from Nangong fell silent.

  Are you guys here to have fun or participate in the Dragon Gate competition!!

  The most pitiful one is probably Miss Nangong. Her imperial examination will be held three days later, and if she wants to prepare for it, she must start preparing now.

  At this time, Nangong San's missus said lightly: "I'll go too, anyway I've been watching for a long time on the way here, now I also want to relax a bit..."

  Third sister, this reason is quite good, we can't let them abandon us and go have fun, or I'll feel unbalanced in my heart!!

  "Cough cough, since Third Sister is going, then I'll go too. I'm afraid someone might have ulterior motives towards her..."

  "Alright, let's tidy up today and go see Xiao Ni tomorrow... no, let's stroll around the capital!!" Xiang Yang could only bring these four people together for now, anyway it would be at most one or two days, after that they would have their own free time.

  He can't believe they really don't care about anything and can be as free as he is!!

  And tomorrow's expenses will definitely be borne by these young ladies. If there are any problems, it will also be their responsibility...

  Now I've found out, actually, being a househusband is really happy!!

  ……

  At some time, in some place...

  "What's your name?"

  "Free and easy!"

  "Full name!"

  "What joy!"

  "Where do you live?"

  "It depends on how you ask, are you asking about my ancestral home or where I used to live?"

  "Of course it's ancestral home!"

  "I don't know!"

  "Little kid, you dare to play tricks, huh? Alright, very well, since you've entered our territory, let's see whose is harder, your mouth or my stick!!"

  In a somewhat dimly lit small house, Xiao Yao was being interrogated by a ferocious catcher...

  What's going on? Shouldn't Xiao Yao be out shopping with Da Jie and the others, how did he get caught by the constables? Looking at this situation, it seems like they're even preparing to use torture.

  Xiaoyao himself found it hard to understand, he was just going to buy a shaobing, didn't expect that suddenly a group of catchers appeared behind him, without saying a word, they directly caught him and the shaobing stall owner, and even took away his shaobing, claiming: "Exhibit evidence!!"

  My pancake! I haven't even taken a bite, at least let me take one bite, I'm starving to death now!!

  Cong you bing, cong you bing...

  "No, Officer Cao, I'm an orphan, raised by the master's family since I was a child, I really don't know!" Xiao Yao secretly reached for the buns on the table.

  A flash of sword light...

  ...and immediately withdrew his hands...

  The swift knife appeared on the table, and that catcher looked at Xiao Yao with disdain and said: "Master's house, that is to say, you are a servant now!"

  "Ah, yes!" Xiao Yao replied.

  He glanced at Xiao Yao and asked, "Whose family's servant are you?"

  "Qingyun City Mo Family, I've been following Boss over here for the Longmen Competition these past few days." Xiao Yao replied.

  "Longmen Tournament?!" The expression on the catcher's face was somewhat uncertain, now anyone related to the Longmen Tournament is a big shot who can't be touched, just now Wang Shang had given an order that whoever dares to move against someone from the Longmen Tournament will be beheaded without trial.

  "You're a follower of the Longmen competition, so how did you end up trading with the pancake seller?" The catcher started to get serious and didn't want to take advantage of the situation anymore, just wanting to clarify things.

  "My stomach is hungry, just like I want to buy a pancake to eat!! Can't pancakes be bought and sold in the capital?" Xiao Yao was puzzled, he was still very confused, didn't understand why he would be caught even if he just bought a pancake.

  "This is okay...... But, this pancake seller isn't really selling pancakes, he's selling Wu Shi San!" The catcher said at this time, looking at Xiao Yao secretly taking the pancake, not paying attention, just talking.

  "What?! Wushi San...!" Xiao Yao immediately threw away the roasted cake he had just picked up, as if it was a poisonous poison.

  In fact, Wushi powder is a kind of poison, a chronic spiritual poison that can give people temporary excitement and make them addicted.

  "...When he saw the carefree movement, the shopkeeper already understood that this little guy wasn't here to buy Wushi Powder, but it's also possible that he was just acting."

  "Don't you think there's something wrong with that pancake seller? His pancakes aren't priced normally, ordinary people wouldn't buy them!"

  This is the reason why Xiao Yao was caught. The pancake seller hid Wu Shi San in the pancakes and sold them at a price that was not ordinary, so when the catcher received the tip and came to catch people, Xiao Yao happened to buy a pancake, so he was caught together with him.

  Originally, people who used to take Wushisan would not be arrested, at most they would be taught a lesson. The government did not have so many human and material resources to deal with these drug addicts. This time was very special because the Dragon Gate Exam and the Imperial Examination were being held, and even petty thieves would be severely cracked down on.

  Carefree is so unlucky, got caught and brought in!!

  At the same time, this can't be blamed on others, because Xiao Yao himself was confused and actually bought this bun, and his reason was——

  "I thought it was just Beijing's high prices..."

  “……”

  "Alright, first let's get the facts straight and lock you up for a day! I'll help notify your master, if he comes to bail you out, then you're free to go. But if not, you'll stay here for a day as punishment for your own foolishness, so you won't make such mistakes again!!" The constable said according to procedure, but also with a hint of human kindness, possibly because Xiao Yao had mentioned the Dragon Gate Competition.

  So, Xiao Yao told the address to the catcher and didn't rush because even if it took a day, there wouldn't be any problem. The day after tomorrow was the day to go to the palace, but even if it was tomorrow, it didn't matter. Xiao Yao wasn't one of the participants, he just went to watch the excitement.

  So even if the catcher didn't help him inform Gu Xing, he wouldn't mind.

  It's just right that I'm carefree and want to take a look at what prison is like, whether it's really as rumored, with grievances filling the sky.

  But Xiao Yao soon regretted it, he wanted to shout four words -

  Let me out!!

  No need to think about what happened these days, even petty thieves were caught, the prison was overcrowded, and Xiao Yao was pitifully squeezed into a corner.

  The most pitiful carefree him, doesn't know how to explain the reason for his arrival!

  "Little kid, how did you get in?"

  "Buy shaobing..."

  “……”

  ……

  Oh no!!/Help!!

  After adapting to this prison cell, he immediately began to think about asking for help. He urgently wanted Lone Star to come and rescue him, right away!!

  There is only one reason——

  "Oh no, I'm so hungry! Give me some mantou (steamed buns), I'd rather eat poison than starve to death..."

  “……”

  It just so happened that something went wrong and Xiangyang didn't wait for Gu Xing to come over, it wasn't until evening that he finally got food and solved his hunger problem.

  It seems that this food is not bad, doesn't seem as terrible as the rumors say, maybe it's because I'm too hungry, anyway, I think it's okay.

  Soon, Xiao Yao heard about the evaluation of this food, and it turned out that it wasn't because he was hungry, but because this thing was really good.
