Legend of Shi’En - C74

At the lowest level of Underground Fighting Ground, a middle-aged man with majestic looks and dressed in luxurious clothing stood at the VIP seats. He used a finger with a jade ring on his finger to lightly stroke his chin, and asked: “Where’s Wang Dachui?”

The one kneeling behind the middle-aged man was Steward. He lowered his head to the ground and submissively replied: “I seem to be busy with wedding, so I took a few days leave to go back …”

“It’s best for that fellow to stop at first sight. Otherwise, I’ll have to abandon this chess piece of his.”

The middle-aged man noticed that the overseer seemed to want to speak, but was somewhat hesitant. He raised his hand and slowly said, “There are other things to report, stand up and say them.”

“This subordinate does not dare, but this subordinate has heard that during this three day gambling feast, Wang Dachui will be required to continuously fight in ten arenas.” He did not dare to raise his head to look at the middle-aged man, and continued: “This subordinate is afraid that this Wang Dachui might accidentally ruin the Duke’s grand plan.”

The middle-aged man turned the jade thumb ring on his finger, and said coldly: “I never do things that I am not confident of, Wang Dachui, heh, he is not worthy, at most, it is just an appetizer for this gamble feast.”

“But right now, I’m betting that Wang Dachui will lose as much as he can, if Wang Dachui loses, I have to …”

The middle-aged man raised his hand to stop the manager, saying, “It doesn’t matter, I’ve already prepared a plan. If I want to fish, I have to first put in the bait.

At dawn on the second day, Shi En had originally planned to go to Wang Dachui’s house to ask him about the Underground Fighting Ground gambling feast, but he was constantly watched by Xiang Gong and Xu Zengshou. Thus, he had no choice but to go back to his room to sleep and prepare to drink Wang Dachui’s wedding wine. But the moment he opened the door, he saw a familiar figure. It was a Sword Box on his back, who else could it be other than Xiang Gong.

“Where are we going?”

Shi En shrugged and said, “Do you care where I go?”

Xiang Gong blocked the Sword Box in front of Shi En and a handful of Embroidered Spring Knife appeared with a “sou” sound. He grabbed it with his hand and raised it up to Shi En’s neck.

Shi En did not move recklessly, but the corners of his mouth curled up slightly as he said: “I also advise you not to act rashly.”

After Xiang Gong said this, he realized that Shi En’s right palm was about to reach his chest at any moment. When he started to pay attention, he did not forget the scene of Shi En slapping a White Lotus Religion follower into minced meat in front of him. However, he still refused to admit defeat. “It seems that you want to test the speed of my blade or your palm.”

“You can try, that expert called Chou Niu, do you know him?”

“I know, second place on the list of the royal experts.”

“Do you know who slapped his hand off?”

“…”

The two of them were stuck in a deadlock, unable to do anything to each other.

At this time, Shu Xiaoxiao had long since been instructed by Shi En, and while Xu Zengshou was still in bed, he took the chance to lead Shang Qian and Zhu Xiaochang out of the window, running all the way to Wang Dachui’s hut. A few old cooks were slaughtering pigs and sheep, cooking chicken and stewing ducks. There were also a few aunties in the vicinity helping to cut the fish and pick the vegetables. A few young men were moving the tables, and it was a lively scene to watch.

“What day is it today? Is the slum so lively?” Zhu Xiaochang was not really very interested in what was happening with Wang Dachui, so he did not know that today was a happy day for Wang Dachui.

In regards to Zhu Xiaochang’s question, anyone who was busying themselves in front of Wang Dachui’s house could tell her the answer. Today was the big day of marriage for the honest person in the slums, Wang Dachui.

Early in the morning, Wang Dachui’s house was already bustling with work.

The rascals of the slums had long since come to Wang Dachui’s house to occupy a place. Eating the peanuts, melon seeds, and candies that the three children generously distributed to them, they gathered around the place to enjoy the liveliness. As for those devilish children who did not manage to occupy a good location, they were all filled with creativity. They all climbed up to the tree in front of his house and sat on its branches.

There were also a group of scrap pickers who heard that there were free Sweet ‘n’ Sweets who were sent here to make money. Fortunately, they did not cause trouble and knew that the family was having a happy occasion. They would congratulate anyone that came their way.

“It’s here, it’s here. The bride is back …”

Although the dowry was very little, no one here would make fun of them. After all, the entire slums knew about the matter regarding Wang Dachui and the young lady, and now that they had finally cultivated to the peak, everyone was happy for the both of them.

Several dowries entered Wang’s house, followed by the matchmaker, the groom, and the bridal sedan chair. The ugly boy, Ron, did not forget the adults’ warnings as he excitedly set off the cannon fire. Following a burst of firecrackers, the groom and the bridal sedan appeared in front of everyone.

When he saw Shu Xiaoxiao, he was not in a rush to bow to heaven and earth, but instead walked to Shu Xiaoxiao’s front and held her hand, asking her: “Er’ya, you’re here, where’s cousin Sangbiao? Where did he go? “This brat, he knows that today is his cousin’s wedding day, so he didn’t come earlier to help. These kids are so busy that they might not even be able to come back.”

Shu Xiaoxiao came to find Wang Dachui today because he had been asked by Shi En to bring his family away from this place as soon as possible. Otherwise, if Wang Dachui went onto the stage, he would definitely die.

“Brother Dachui, Shi… Sangbiao told me to inform you to bring your family and leave this place immediately, he has already booked a flight ticket to leave this place. ” Shu Xiaoxiao said, as he handed the five tickets in his pocket to Wang Dachui.

Wang Dachui’s originally silly smile froze on his face. He took the flying ship ticket and saw that it was 10 o’clock, and frowned: “You, Sangbiao, just who are you people?”

Shu Xiaoxiao did not reply him, but rather handed Shi En a letter. Then, he silently led Shang Qian and Zhu Xiaochang out of the bustling place.

Wang Dachui opened Shi En’s letter and read it once before covering his mouth and holding back his tears. When the people in the house called him in to pay respects, he placed the flying ship ticket back into his pocket and faked a silly smile as he entered the hut and Zhao Xiaochun who was wearing a red cap on his head to pay respects. As the two of their seniors were unable to come to the scene, Wang Dachui could only invite the two oldest people in the slums to take charge.

The people from the slums looked at Wang Dachui and Zhao Xiaochun who were bowing to the heavens and earth, bowing to the heavens and the earth, and muttered, “The suffering is all for the best, the suffering is all for the best.”

Because they were all poor families, Wang Dachui’s wedding lacked any complicated procedures. After the two of them paid their respects, the bride was supported by the three children to enter the new room, while Wang Dachui called for the people in the slums to open the wedding feast and open their mouths to welcome the people who came to join in.

The wedding banquet lasted until around seven or eight in the evening before it ended. The people in the slums had eaten their fill and returned to their rooms to rest. The lively room suddenly became much quieter. The tables, bowls, chopsticks, etc. They were in no hurry to clean up. They all said that they would come back tomorrow morning to clean up.

At this time, Shu Xiaoxiao, who was hiding at a corner, was frowning as he looked around vigilantly.

“Sister Shu, I bought a few meat buns. You haven’t eaten for a whole day, fill your stomach first.” Shang Qian returned with a bag of meat buns. Today, he had been monitoring Wang Dachui’s little house.

“There doesn’t seem to be any movements from the small hut on the opposite side, Xiao Shangzi.” In truth, she didn’t really want to come here, but she couldn’t stand Shi En’s hard and soft treatment, as well as the many conditions he gave her that she couldn’t reject, so she accompanied Shang Qian out to help him out.

“Yeah, there’s no movement at all. Big Brother Shi En said that it’s about this time. The Underground Fighting Ground will definitely take action.” Shang Qian twisted open a bottle of lemon tea and passed it to Zhu Xiaochang, “Unfortunately, brother Shi En is not able to come out due to Imperial Guard staring, so he can only beg us for help.”

After Zhu Xiaochang drank the lemon tea, he asked with his mouth pursed: When is the head being monitored like this?

Shang Qian took the time to give himself another injection and ate three blue pills, “Brother Shi En said that we can only complete the mission after Wang Dachui has safely left this place.”

“So his name is Shi En.”

A voice came from behind Zhu Xiaochang and Shang Qian. Zhu Xiaochang was immediately frightened, and the lemon tea in his mouth that was just about to be swallowed choked on in one breath, until he was about to cough. “Cough cough, cough cough, you, cough cough, you scared, cough cough.”

Shang Qian hurriedly patted Zhu Xiaochang’s back, allowing her to straighten her breath.

Shu Xiaoxiao was not surprised, she had already heard the sound of someone moving behind her, but she knew it was Wang Dachui, so she did not activate the flying needles in her hands.

Zhu Xiaochang cleared his throat, but there was a pain in his throat, he glared at Wang Dachui. Seeing that Zhu Xiaochang was no longer coughing, Shang Qian looked up and saw Wang Dachui had changed into a groom’s uniform and put on casual clothes, there was a carriage parked not far away, Zhao Xiaochun and the three children were all sitting on it, looking at them worriedly.

“Mr. Wang Dachui, you …”

“I’m going to leave this place. I don’t know why you’re helping me, but I hope you won’t be in danger because of me.” Wang Dachui said, and then bowed to the three of them, “This is my willful request, please grant it.”
