Chapter 24
Little Changgan was in the southwest of the Imperial Palace and was not far from the Right Imperial Street. It was just that the carriage was a little slow, so Papaya was even faster than them on foot.
Within a short while, Xiao Baoxin heard the orderly footsteps of the guards. This time, her heart was at ease. She thought that they were safe and was no longer worried. After all, she had confidence in the fighting capabilities of her guards.
...But things became unexpectedly complicated.
By the time Xiao Baoxin arrived at the scene in her carriage, it was already a mess.
Little Changgan was originally in a bustling downtown area, but today, it had indeed become a ‘busy’ area. The entire street was in a mess. Trying to locate Xiao Baoshu at a glance was simply wishful thinking.
Xiao Jingai, who wanted to show her loyalty and gain Yang Shao’s favor, got off the carriage, and her jaws almost dropped to the ground.
Under such circumstances, Xiao Baoxin and Yang Shao could still fall in love at first sight. How unrestrained were they?
Xiao Jingai started to have doubts.
No matter how beautiful Xiao Baoxin was and how she made the people around her appear plain and simple, she wouldn’t be able to lock eyes with someone in such a huge crowd, as though she had a GPS function, right?
What she didn’t know was that Xiao Jingai’s rebirth had caused the whole thing to go off track.
In her previous life, Papaya went straight to the Xiao Residence to look for Xiao Baoxin. As she rushed over with the guards, she met Yang Shao, who bravely protected her younger brother. He directly captured the leader of the bandits and suppressed the situation, so the matter didn’t reach the government office at all. As for love at first sight, that was something for later.
But now, because Xiao Jingai kidnapped Xiao Baoxin, the entire timeline had changed.
Previously, Xiao Baoshu was indeed with a group of his schoolmates. However, when they saw that there was trouble, they immediately scattered like birds and beasts. Those who were slow were beaten up.
Yang Shao was highly skilled in martial arts. Initially, it was a one-sided fight. However, the descendants of the aristocratic families were not to be trifled with either. If they could not defeat them, they would run away and deploy guards from their residences. As they deployed them one by one, the aristocratic families gained an advantage in numbers. The more they fought, the more people they would have.
No matter how ferocious Yang Shao was, it was still difficult for him to fight against four people, not to mention that his opponent was a descendant of an aristocratic family. He really did not dare to fight as he was afraid of being beaten to death. His life would not be enough to compensate for that.
Since he had concerns, he did not dare to use his full strength. As a result, the situation changed instantly. Yang Shao changed from being the attacker to defender. He suffered countless punches and kicks.
Fortunately, the reinforcements that the descendants of the aristocratic families had brought knew the severity of the situation. They did not reveal their weapons, and both sides were unarmed. This way, the casualties would be limited.
Until Papaya brought over the Xiao Family’s reinforcements. Those soldiers were personally brought out by Xiao Yun. They were not just a bit strong. As soon as they saw their own Young Master being beaten until he could not be found, they directly rushed into the crowd and beat anyone they saw.
When the aristocratic families saw that the Xiao Family’s guards were charging towards them aggressively, they quickly gathered those that they were on friendly terms with to join the battle.
When Xiao Baoxin saw the scene, it was so chaotic that it was practically indescribable.
Fortunately, the huge commotion had alerted the Jiankang magistrate, Zhang Yu.
Zhang Yu had fewer than forty people as his subordinates. Naturally, they could not suppress such a large-scale brawl and could only seek help from the army head, Qu Yu.
Qu Yu was a subordinate of General Zhonglang and was in charge of the security in the capital city. The two of them had a deep relationship.
Such a large-scale brawl was truly rare. In addition, the troublemakers all had special identities. Qu Yu only dared to send troops after reporting to Southern General Xun Luo.
Those who participated in the group fight were unarmed, but the guards did not care about that. They carried their long spears and went up one after another. It did not take long for the situation to be controlled.
Xiao Baoxin was afraid that her little brother would be at a disadvantage, so she looked around in the crowd. When she reached the center of the crowd, the guards had yet to suppress him. A fat teenager rode on Xiao Baoshu while carrying a sword. Although Xiao Baoshu did not have an advantage in terms of size, he was still rather nimble. His two arms grabbed onto the fatty’s hands, and the two of them took the opportunity to slap each other and scratch each other’s faces…
Xiao Baoshu even spat at him from time to time.
“Xiao Baoshu, are you a shrew? Don’t you have proper upbringing, who would fight and spit! Only the village’s ignorant women would do such a wicked thing!” The fatty cried out loudly. No matter what, he was still the Wang Family’s Young Master, so he couldn’t do such an action that was humiliating his refined appearance.
But he was clearly on top, so he had the advantage at spitting!
Exasperated, he flung off Xiao Baoshu’s arm and was about to slap him in the face. Xiao Baoxin quickly stepped forward and kicked the 150-kilogram fatty to the side.
Xiao Baoshu relaxed and took in deep breaths.
“Serves you right. The wicked shall be punished by the wicked!”
After cursing, Xiao Baoshu and Xiao Baoxin looked at each other awkwardly.
So she saved him and was called a villain?
“Sister, actually what I meant was— you’re an even more powerful person. I didn’t learn well, so I don’t know how to use words properly.” Xiao Baoshu rolled over and hurriedly got up, fawning over Xiao Baoxin like a lackey. His handsome face was blue and purple, and his nose was dripping with blood, looking very pitiful.
“Sister, you came at the right time!”
Any later and he would have been squashed to death.
Therefore, Xiao Baoxin was like a savior to him now. She had a natural aura that was as tall as 2.8 meters and 8.2 meters!
He completely did not realize that he was surrounded by the guards and was still shouting, “Sister, you must help me vent my anger. They said that you are not worthy of Yuan Chen, that you are a beautiful but soulless flower in the mortal world, and you are still a budding flower! If it’s you, can you bear it? I can’t. Even Yuan Chen doesn’t despise you, so how can they despise you?!”
“…” Fine, she did not hear it on the spot. Now that she heard it, it was the same.
Xiao Baoxin clenched her fists tightly. If not for the fact that Xiao Baoshu had already been beaten up so badly that he didn’t look like a human, she might not have been able to withstand her anger. She would have kicked him and made him sit in a row with that fatty.
“Ow! My hand!” Fatty Wang held his round and fat hand and howled like a pig being slaughtered.
Xiao Baoxin had a murderous look on her face. In an instant, she looked completely different. Her peach-like face seemed to have frozen.
“I, Xiao Baoxin, will say these words here today. If anyone dares to bully my little brother in the future, they will end up like him!” She pointed angrily at Fatty Wang, who was crying bitterly, and raised her voice.
She was not afraid of blowing things up. If the Yuan family could not stand her fighting on the streets, they could quickly break off the engagement!
It would save her the trouble of thinking on her own!
…
Everyone: Like him, as fat as him?
The mass brawl caused too much commotion, and almost all the aristocratic descendants in the capital were involved in it. Not only was the Jiankang magistrate unable to handle it, even the generals of the Southern Army could not. The number of people involved could be considered ground-shaking, right?
The backers of these troublemakers were all of high status and power. Even if they did not fear power and wanted to deal with them impartially, they had no place to deal with them—
There were too many people!
There was no place to even lock them up!
The Jiankang magistrate and soldiers came up with a plan and reported it to Emperor Yu Heng.
