Chapter 926

~8 min read 1,467 words

The capital in early winter, frost strikes.

On the main street, pedestrians hurry by, as if rushing home to keep warm.

Because the weather is truly too cold.

Looking at the desolate Tang Bohu beside him, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but pat his shoulder and say, "It's good that you're out, don't worry about the matter of fame anymore!"

"Hahaha, I, Tang Yin, consider myself to have outstanding talent, but now, actually, actually..."

Collapsing and howling at the sky, Tang Bohu said with tears streaming down his face, "How did I end up like this, how did I end up like this!"

Yet, just as Tang Bohu was crying bitterly, he discovered that Zhang Cheng wasn't comforting him at all, but was instead finding a man playing the erhu on the side of the road and buying the erhu from his hands.

Looking at Zhang Cheng, Tang Bohu said in astonishment, "What are you doing?"

"You continue, I'll provide the accompaniment for you!"

Saying this, Zhang Cheng played the erhu and sang softly, "Snowflakes drifting, north wind whistling, the world is vast and boundless..."

"Oh, Heavens!"

Hearing Zhang Cheng's accompaniment, Tang Bohu collapsed even more.

But just as the two were coordinating on the main street, Princess Yunluo in the inn on the side was dumbfounded and said, "Xiaonu, Xiaonu, look quickly, these two beggars have so many tricks!"

"Princess, they are not beggars!"

Covering her face, Xiaonu didn't know what to say, because Zhang Cheng's attire and appearance didn't look like a beggar at all.

And just after Xiaonu finished speaking, Cheng Shifei also leaned his head in and said, "Right, that guy is not a beggar, he is a man of the Eastern Depot!"

"A eunuch?"

Staring at Zhang Cheng in surprise, Princess Yunluo became suspicious.

"I heard that he seems to be the Eastern Depot's Thousand-Household of Punishment, and his martial arts are very high!"

Eating peanuts, Cheng Shifei laughed.

But in the next second, Princess Yunluo asked suspiciously, "Where did they go, what kind of place is that!"

But just after Princess Yunluo finished speaking, Cheng Shifei became embarrassed, because these two were playing the erhu while heading toward the brothel!

Arriving at the brothel, Zhang Cheng took out silver and said, "Come here, arrange a few top-quality girls for my Brother Tang, money is no object!"

And hearing Zhang Cheng's words, the procuress hurriedly ran out and said, "Oh my, guest, the girls I have here are all top-tier, I definitely won't fool you!"

But just as the procuress was speaking, many people exclaimed, "Miss Qin Cao has come out!"

【Hail the Judge!】

Following one person finishing this sentence, many people cheered and jumped for joy.

On the high platform, a woman was seen walking down slowly, her brows and eyes full of charm that made people lose their souls.

And looking at her, Tang Bohu swallowed his saliva and said, "I want to take a wife!"

"Big Brother, this is the top-ranked girl, is the silver on you enough?"

Looking at Tang Bohu beside him, Zhang Cheng asked.

"Help me, Brother Zhang, in this life, I only beg you for this one thing!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng earnestly, Tang Bohu couldn't help but become serious.

Yet, just at this moment, an even more shocking exclamation appeared, as many people shouted, "Miss Dongfang, Miss Dongfang has also appeared, everyone look quickly!"

As people turned their heads one after another, a woman in a red dress was seen walking down slowly.

Her smile was like a flower, as if making people feel like they were in spring.

Feeling the incomparably gentle warmth, Tang Bohu looked at Zhang Cheng and said, "Brother Zhang, I want this one too! Brother Zhang!"

"I want her too!"

Looking at Tang Bohu with annoyance, Zhang Cheng pushed the other's face away with a backhand motion.

Walking down from upstairs side by side, Qin Cao smiled and said, "Sister Dongfang, why did you come out today?"

"Isn't it because I saw my sister was here? I just came down to stroll around!"

Answering indifferently, Miss Dongfang couldn't help but smile.

And just as the two were secretly competing, Zhang Cheng frowned and said, "No, why are the names of these two people so familiar to me?"

"The bidding has begun, now that both young ladies are here, may I ask who wants to get close to them?"

Just as the procuress flashed away quickly and appeared on the high platform, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but freeze in place, because this lightness skill was so fast!

"I bid fifty taels!"

"Fifty taels? You'd better go back and hug your ugly wife! Hahaha, I bid one hundred taels!"

"One hundred taels? Five hundred taels, no matter who bids, I will be higher than them!"

Just as a young master shouted, Zhang Cheng turned his head and sized things up, saying, "Tsk tsk tsk, I can write this down in my little notebook now, and go back to confiscate their homes one by one!"

Completely unaware of Zhang Cheng's intentions, many people immediately began to scramble.

When the silver began to climb continuously, a crisp voice rang out, "Three thousand taels!"

As everyone turned their heads to look, Tang Bohu had already raised his hand.

Staring blankly at Tang Bohu, Zhang Cheng really wanted to ask, buddy, you just came out of the celestial prison, where did you get three thousand taels?

But in the next second, Tang Bohu looked at Zhang Cheng and said, "Help me!"

Lifting his robe, Zhang Cheng revealed his blood knife, then his mouth twitched as he said, "My money must be spent on the cutting edge, do you understand? So, ten thousand taels, I want both of them!"

"Brother? Why are you so thick-skinned and shameless?"

Staring at Zhang Cheng in shock, many people turned their heads one after another to ask.

"I like it, is it any of your business? A real man cannot admit defeat!"

Speaking domineeringly, Zhang Cheng winked at the two young ladies above.

Looking at Zhang Cheng's appearance, Miss Dongfang narrowed her eyes and said, "It seems this person is also very greedy!"

"That's right, sister, I wonder who you want to choose!"

Hearing Miss Dongfang's words, Miss Qin Cao also asked.

But just as everyone was scrambling to bid, a person walked in from behind and said, "Thousand-Household, something has happened, the Depot Superintendent summons you!"

Pressing his hand, Zhang Cheng signaled the other party, then took out silver notes and gave them to Tang Bohu, saying, "Play by yourself, I'm going to do my work!"

"Ah! I'll play by myself? The silver you gave... Foster Father, please go slowly, Foster Father!"

Looking at the silver notes in his hand, Tang Bohu's initial shock gradually turned into worship.

After all, who could have imagined that back then everyone was a servant, and now Zhang Cheng could actually take out his entire fortune to let him live it up!

Liancheng Jue treasure:...

Zhang Cheng: I can make you be in the capital while your money is lost!

Inside the Eastern Depot,

Cao Zhengchun looked at Zhang Cheng and said, "Princess Lixiu of the Izumo Kingdom has entered the capital, you take men to watch her closely, once there is any problem, kill first and report later!"

"Yes, Depot Superintendent!"

Hearing Cao Zhengchun's words, Zhang Cheng also hurriedly bowed with his hands cupped.

Because this year there are still Japanese pirates causing trouble, and now a princess of the Izumo Kingdom appears for a marriage alliance; if someone else came, they would all feel there is a problem.

And Cao Zhengchun is the Emperor's man; once Princess Lixiu harms His Majesty, let alone him, the entire Eastern Depot would have their skin peeled off and be hung on a flagpole to be air-dried!

But just as Zhang Cheng was walking out, a familiar figure appeared.

Looking at Lin Pingzhi, who was wearing a white agent's uniform with a suit of armor on his chest, Zhang Cheng asked curiously, "You joined the Eastern Depot?"

"That's right, Benefactor! I have joined the sect of File-Head Jia Yan!"

Speaking to Zhang Cheng, Lin Pingzhi explained.

"Alright, work well under Jia Yan!"

Patting Lin Pingzhi's shoulder, Zhang Cheng smiled.

But just after he went out the door, he froze in place and said, "Wait, Miss Dongfang, all in red, Miss Qin Cao, these two people, why do I find them so familiar? So it's them! I really hope Tang Bohu can succeed!"

Thinking of Miss Qin Cao who knows the Formless Divine Art, and Miss Dongfang who knows the Sunflower Manual, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but want to laugh, because he had encountered the two "most beautiful" women in the whole world!
