Chapter 414
414 Picking up a purse again (3)
After lunch, he took the two gongs to patrol the streets of the outer city. Because the distance was too far, he still had to ride a horse and couldn’t walk.
Xu Qi ‘an was most familiar with the South City. The Xu family’s old house was in the South, and there was a health Hall here, which was the territory of No. 6 Hengyuan.
sigh, I don’t know when my passive skill will be restored. I still have to send money to master Hengyuan regularly as. charity …
Thinking of this, Xu Qi ‘an felt very sad.
………
The white jade ring in the south of the city was built on a square by the river. In just two or three days, the surface of the ring was already riddled with holes.There were footprints left behind by fights, and cracks left behind by blades and axes.
There were two martial artists fighting in the ring. One of them was a muscular man with a black iron rod in his hand.One of them was a swordsman with good facial features.
The two sides exchanged blows, and they were having a great time.
There were many commoners and martial arts experts gathered around the ring.
When it came to weapons, the weapons of ordinary Jianghu people would be confiscated before they entered the city, and then the Yamen would issue you a voucher. One day, when it was time to leave the city, you could take the voucher to retrieve your weapons.
Since the appearance of the arena, the Yamen had relaxed its control. If the martial artists wanted to compete, they could go to the Yamen and apply to retrieve their weapons, but they had to return them the next day, or they would be wanted by the entire city.
As for the young heroes and heroines who came from famous sects, they could rely on the endorsement of their sect to not hand over their weapons. However, if they killed someone, the sect would have to bear the responsibility.
Xu Qi ‘an’s eyes swept across the audience, but he did not find any high-quality female heroes.
“Lord Xu, the people watching the show outside are all ordinary people. Those with status are all in the surrounding teahouses and restaurants.” Tong Luo explained.
You know a lot, little brother … Xu Qi ‘an immediately glanced at the teahouses and restaurants around. There were indeed many spectators on the second-floor observation deck.
“Let’s go, we should also find a restaurant … Let’s go to that one.” Xu Qi ‘an saw a very beautiful heroine.
He had just taken a step when he suddenly felt a hard lump on his leg. He looked down and saw that it was a purse.
The pouch was light green in color and was embroidered with the pattern of an orchid. It had a faint fragrance and seemed to be a woman’s personal belonging.
“?”
Xu Qi ‘an was stunned. Didn’t my money-picking buff get caught by that old man in 404?
“It’s thick, and it’s quite heavy.”
Xu Qi ‘an put it away with a smile. Then, she found a child next to her looking at her. He seemed to be upset that he didn’t see the purse and that someone else had taken it before him.
“What are you looking at? which family’s child is this?” Xu Qi ‘an raised her hand and pretended to hit him. The child was so scared that he turned around and ran away.
Xu Qi ‘an laughed and thought,”you’re so timid. I wanted to buy you a stick of candied gourd.”
After entering the restaurant, they found a table on the second floor and ordered the waiter to serve wine and food. Xu Qi ‘an was not interested in the fight in the ring at all. He squinted his eyes and observed the female warrior at the next table.
She was wearing a pink chiffon dress that revealed her fair neck and exquisite collarbones. Her clothes were not thick, but they highlighted her perky chest.
Her style of dressing was bold, and her makeup was equally exquisite. Her lips were fiery red, and her big almond eyes were bright. Her facial features were naturally beautiful, but her charm and flirtatiousness were the most attractive to men.
If the frame was a real Queen of nightclubs, then this woman was a real Queen of nightclubs.
The seductive woman noticed Xu Qi ‘an’s naked gaze, but she was not angry. Instead, she threw him a flirtatious look. The young men at the same table as her turned their heads to look at her.
After seeing Xu Qisheng’s uniform, he turned back, pretending that nothing had happened.
The waiter was carrying beef, peanuts, mutton, and other dishes that went with wine, as well as a jar of wine.
“My Lord, please enjoy your food and wine.”
waiter, get a jar of 1982 Lafite for the table across from us. It’s my treat. Xu Qi ‘an winked at the flirtatious woman.
The waiter didn’t understand and was stunned for a moment.
“A jar full of spring.”
This was the most expensive wine in the restaurant.
“Alright,” he said.
Sensing the interaction between Xu Qi ‘an and their “goddess,” the young men felt jealous, but they didn’t dare to get angry at the night watchman, so they vented their anger on the waiter and said angrily, ”
“Waiter, another five pounds of beef.”
“Sir, our restaurant doesn’t have that much beef left.”
“Why can they light two catties, but we can only light one catty with so many people?”
Beef was a luxury in this era. It was all cows that had died of old age or were seriously ill. If they wanted to slaughter it, they had to go through the inspection of the government. In addition, business had been very good recently, so there was not much stock in the restaurant. Xu Qi ‘an ordered two catties.
Unexpectedly, the waiter rolled his eyes and said with the arrogance of a Beijing person, “”He’s a Yamen officer. Guest, you must not have looked in the mirror when you left this morning.”
“……..”
“These fools,” the two copper gongs laughed.
At this time, Xu Qi ‘an saw a woman coming up the stairs. She looked around the hall, then walked straight to her side and looked down at him angrily.
“Give me back my purse.”
