Chapter 924

~7 min read 1,360 words

In the capital at the start of winter, frost arrived.

On the streets, pedestrians hurried along, as if rushing home to keep warm.

Because the weather was truly too cold.

Looking at the desolate Tang Bohu beside him, Zhang Cheng patted his shoulder: "It's good that you're out, don't worry about your career!"

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

Roaring at the sky in a breakdown, Tang Bohu was tearful: "How did I end up like this, how did I end up like this!"

However, just as Tang Bohu was crying bitterly, he discovered that Zhang Cheng was not comforting him at all, but instead found a man playing the erhu on the road nearby and bought the instrument from him.

Looking at Zhang Cheng, Tang Bohu was stunned: "What are you doing?"

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

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 broke down even further.

But just as the two were performing on the street, in the inn nearby, Princess Yunluo was dumbfounded: "Xiao Nu, Xiao Nu, look quickly, these two beggars have so many tricks!"

"Princess, they are not beggars!"

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

And just as Xiao Nu finished speaking, Cheng Shifei leaned in: "Right, that guy isn't a beggar, he's from the Eastern Depot!"

"A eunuch?"

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

"I heard he seems to be a Battalion Commander of the Eastern Depot, and his martial arts are very high!"

Eating peanuts, Cheng Shifei laughed.

But in the next second, Princess Yunluo asked suspiciously: "Where are they going? What kind of place is that!"

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

Arriving at the brothel, Zhang Cheng took out silver: "Come here, arrange some top-quality girls for my brother Tang, money is no object!"

Hearing Zhang Cheng's words, the madam hurriedly ran out: "Oh my, guest, the girls here are all top-tier, I would never fool you!"

But just as the madam was speaking, many people exclaimed: "It's Miss Qin Cao coming out!"

[Hail the Judge!]

Following someone saying this sentence, many people cheered and jumped for joy.

On the high platform, a woman walked down slowly, her eyes full of a charm that could make one lose their soul.

And looking at her, Tang Bohu swallowed his saliva: "I want to get married!"

"Big brother, this is the top star, 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 turned serious.

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

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

Her smile was like a flower, as if making one feel like they were in the middle of spring.

Feeling an incomparably gentle warmth, Tang Bohu looked at Zhang Cheng: "Brother Zhang, I want this one too! Brother Zhang!"

"I want her too!"

Looking at Tang Bohu with annoyance, Zhang Cheng pushed the man's face away with his backhand.

Walking down from the floor side by side, Qin Cao smiled: "Sister Dongfang, why did you come out today?"

"Isn't it because I saw my sister here? I just came down for a stroll!"

Answering indifferently, Miss Dongfang smiled.

And just as the two were secretly competing, Zhang Cheng frowned: "Wait, why do the names of these two sound so familiar?"

"The bidding has started. Now that both ladies are here, may I ask who wants to get close to them?"

Just as the madam flashed away and appeared on the high platform, Zhang Cheng was stunned 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 go higher!"

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

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

As the silver amount continued to climb, a crisp voice rang out: "Three thousand taels!"

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

Looking at Tang Bohu blankly, Zhang Cheng really wanted to ask: Buddy, you just came out of prison, where did you get three thousand taels?

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

Pulling open his robe, Zhang Cheng revealed his blood-stained blade, then his mouth twitched: "My money must be spent on the cutting edge, do you understand? So, ten thousand taels, I want both!"

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

Looking at Zhang Cheng in shock, many people turned their heads to ask.

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

Speaking arrogantly, Zhang Cheng winked at the two ladies above.

Watching Zhang Cheng's appearance, Miss Dongfang narrowed her eyes: "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, someone walked in from behind: "Battalion Commander, something has happened, the Depot Superintendent is summoning you!"

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

"Ah! Play by myself? The silver you gave... Foster father, go slowly, foster father!"

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

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

A Deadly Secret treasure: ...

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

Inside the Eastern Depot,

Cao Zhengchun looked at Zhang Cheng: "Princess Lixiu of the Izumo Kingdom has entered the capital. You take people to watch her closely; if there are any problems, kill first and report later!"

"Yes, Depot Superintendent!"

Hearing Cao Zhengchun's words, Zhang Cheng hurriedly bowed and saluted.

Because this year there were still Japanese pirates causing trouble, and now an Izumo princess appeared for a marriage alliance; if it were anyone else, they would feel there was a problem.

And Cao Zhengchun was the Emperor's man; if Princess Lixiu harmed His Majesty, let alone him, the entire Eastern Depot would be skinned and hung on a flagpole to dry!

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 armor on his chest, Zhang Cheng asked curiously: "You joined the Eastern Depot?"

"That's right, benefactor! I have joined under the command of Jia Yan!"

Speaking to Zhang Cheng, Lin Pingzhi explained.

"Alright, follow Jia Yan and do your work well!"

Patting Lin Pingzhi's shoulder, Zhang Cheng smiled.

But after he went out, he was stunned in place: "Wait, Miss Dongfang, all in red, Miss Qin Cao... why do these two sound so familiar? So it's them! I really hope Tang Bohu can succeed!"

Thinking of Miss Qin Cao, who knew the Formless Divine Art, and Miss Dongfang, who knew 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!
