Chapter 102 Beating Someone in Public
The dragon raises its head, the severe winter has passed, and everything is revived.
People take off their heavy winter clothes and put on light, simple and bright coats.
Farmers carry hoes and walk on the ridges of the fields. The work of the new year begins on this day.
The royal family holds spring hunting every year on the day of the dragon raising its head. In addition to several princes, younger generations from the nobles will also participate.
The original intention of holding spring hunting is to pray for good weather and good harvests, and to drive away evil spirits and usher in good fortune. However, after a hundred years, the traditional flavor has faded a lot, and it has evolved into a stage for all parties to compete, a stage for the younger generation to show their strength.
In particular, it is a stage for the secret struggles of the princes.
As early as a month ago, the Ministry of Rites began to prepare for all matters related to the spring hunting.
Fifty miles west of the royal city, between a range of high mountains and steep ridges, is the location of the royal family's exclusive hunting ground.
There are troops stationed outside the hunting grounds for four seasons, and ordinary people cannot get close at all, because there are many ferocious monsters in this seemingly beautiful mountain range.
On this day, the West Suburb Hunting Ground, which has always been sparsely populated, welcomed a fleet of vehicles.
Officials of the third rank and above in the court are fortunate to participate in the spring hunt. The elders lead their carefully selected outstanding juniors to come here early to wait for the emperor's arrival.
The young men all look high-spirited. Although they are not the protagonists today, everyone knows that their performance in the spring hunt will be seen by His Majesty.
And they all hope that their performance will not only be seen by His Majesty, but also be remembered by His Majesty.
After entering the hunting ground, there is an open area, which has been designed and transformed by the skilled craftsmen of the Ministry of Works into a square that can accommodate thousands of people.
At this time, the emperor's carriage has not arrived yet, but the ministers are not idle either. They take their juniors to walk around and talk about some topics that are of mutual interest.
As they were talking, a golden carriage slowly drove into the square.
Even though everyone present was a high-ranking official of the dynasty, not to mention that they were all rich enough to rival a country, but they were all wealthy people, but no one's carriage could be so luxurious.
This carriage with an extremely eye-catching appearance was the only one in the entire Dawu Dynasty.
Everyone knew that this was the carriage of Han Xu, the useless son of King Han.
"He really dared to come?" Someone whispered. Although they had received the news a long time ago, many people were surprised to see Han Xu really appear.
Spring hunting is not a garden tour, but a real fight with monsters, and it is likely to bleed.
"Keep your voice down, your majesty's meaning, don't talk nonsense." The elders in the family stopped him.
"Master, we're here." Lin Feng stopped the carriage and said to the car.
Han Xu stretched his waist and said, "Let's go."
The door opened, but Han Xu was not the only one who got off.
Qing'er, Nishang and Bai Yiyi all came. They were not dressed up, but their stunning looks still made the young men dazed.
Surrounded by the three women, Han Xu walked over with a harmless smile.
After he got off the car, Lin Feng drove away in the carriage. He wanted to stay to protect Han Xu, but Han Xu assigned him the most important task.
Stay outside and be alert to the Saint General Viper.
Han Xu came to the square and didn't say hello to anyone. He didn't know anyone here and had no interest in getting to know them.
So he sat down on one side, and Qing'er massaged his back obediently.
"It's really immoral, immoral!"
"You actually brought three prostitutes here!"
"I don't know how King Han, who was a hero all his life, could have such a shameless offspring!"
Originally, Han Xu was enjoying Qing'er's massage with his eyes closed, and he was in a very good mood, but when he heard these discussions, he opened his eyes and looked around coldly.
The elders were self-respecting and would not discuss in such occasions. Those who spoke just now were all the younger generations.
They were born in an extraordinary family, were talented, and were successful at a young age. They all thought highly of themselves.
They looked down on Han Xu, but Han Xu did what they usually wanted to do but didn't do.
So, they didn't hesitate to use every opportunity to disgust Han Xu.
Han Xu's reputation as a playboy in Wangcheng was spread in this way.
If it were before, Han Xu would just listen to it in one ear and out the other, because he couldn't lose a piece of meat if he said it.
But this time, he found that the people who spoke looked familiar. After a closer look, they were the ones who provoked him in Jiuxiao Academy.
So, a playful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Yiyi, slap your mouth!"
After saying that, Bai Yiyi, who was standing behind Han Xu, turned into a wisp of residual shadow. The wind swept past, and three crisp slaps spread all around. The square was quiet for a moment.
Then, Bai Yiyi's figure appeared behind Han Xu again, and the position she stood in before was as if she had never moved.
The whole process happened in a flash, and no one expected that Han Xu would dare to hit people in front of the officials because of a few verbal jokes.
Especially the three teenagers who were beaten, their eyes were full of anger, humiliation and disbelief.
They are the pride of heaven, but they were slapped by a prostitute!
If this matter gets out, how can they live in the future?
Not only they are angry, but also their respective elders.
As the saying goes, you have to look at the person before beating the dog, not to mention that Han Xu beat their sons and grandsons.
So, the first reaction of the three teenagers after they came to their senses from the shock was to rush towards Han Xu.
Of course, they didn't think of doing anything to Han Xu, but they couldn't let Bai Yiyi go.
"Whoever dares to make a move will be crippled." As soon as the three of them set off, they heard Han Xu's cold voice.
Qing'er, Nishang and Bai Yiyi all released a powerful aura at the same time, like a basin of cold snow water poured on their heads.
They could never have imagined that the realm of these three courtesans was higher than that of the three of them who were praised as geniuses.
Nishang and Bai Yiyi were already at the sixth level, and Qing'er was even more terrifying. She had clearly entered the seventh level.
Yes, Qing'er had undergone a thorough cleansing of her muscles and marrow, and her martial arts talent was not comparable to that of an ordinary genius. In addition, she had practiced hard for several days, so her realm naturally broke through.
If Han Xu hadn't asked her to take steady steps, Qing'er would have made even faster progress.
And the highest level of the three beaten teenagers was only at the third level, which was equivalent to Wang Ran at the time. Not to mention Qing'er, even if any one of Nishang and Bai Yiyi could beat the three of them up.
Now, they rushed to the middle of the road but stopped abruptly. They were neither advancing nor retreating. They were stared at by everyone, which was really embarrassing.
"Han Xu, you are so presumptuous!" At this time, the elders who were not prepared to take action had to stand up, otherwise their three families would become the laughing stock of others.
The juniors of the third-rank officials were slapped in the face by a prostitute in public.
"Presumptuous?" Han Xu laughed and said, "The three of them spoke rudely to my maid, and I only punished them slightly. Is this considered presumptuous?"
He did not mention the three people who said bad things about him, but cared about his three maids.
"Who are they?"
"They are my maids, and they are my Han Xu's people!" Han Xu said angrily, "If it weren't for the good weather today, how could it be so easy to just slap them in the face?"
"You you!" An old man was so angry with Han Xu that he couldn't even speak clearly.
"Someone, give me..." Before he finished speaking, a clear voice came from the front of the road.
"His Majesty has arrived!"
