Guo Furong said with a smile, "Even if we can't beat them, we still have our senior brother, right? Anyway, he's always free and has nothing to do."
"Cough cough." Chu Yang choked on his food and couldn't speak.
"Don't talk nonsense! The prince is an honored guest. How can an honored guest be attacked?" Tong Xiangyu glared fiercely at Guo Furong, afraid that she would scare away her god of wealth.
"Manager, your Tongfu Inn is quite lively all day long, much more so than in the capital." Chu Yang smiled as he got up, went upstairs, and planned to take a nap before going out for a stroll.
He planned to wait until there was a result regarding the Prince Xin's tomb before leaving, and then head south to Jinling City. He wondered how far the firearms battalion's research had progressed after so many days.
That really piques my curiosity.
Although the plan was well-thought-out, Chu Yang slept straight through until evening. By the time he got up and ate, it was already quite dark outside.
After tidying up the lobby, Lao Bai was about to close the door and rest when a series of urgent knocks sounded at the door.
"Our store is closed!"
Old Bai shouted outside.
Boom boom boom!
The knocking continued.
"Oh, I guess they're staying at a hotel."
Old Bai's lips curled up. These days, apart from the prince, no one else has stayed at the inn.
"That's perfect, Manager Tong has finally made back some of the money she spent on jewelry."
Chu Yang joked from the side.
Old Bai chuckled, reached out and pulled out the door bolt. As soon as he opened the door, three figures rushed in, knocking Old Bai over.
"What's the rush! There are plenty of rooms!"
Old Bai complained, stood up, and found that the three people in front of him were all holding swords and looked menacing.
He subconsciously prepared for battle.
The man in the lead among the three looked more mature, with a small mustache, and was also the most robust, while the other two were relatively thin.
"Where's Mo Xiaobei?!"
The three looked around and then asked in unison.
"Looking for Xiao Bei?" Old Bai immediately became alert. "Do the three of you need Xiao Bei for something?"
"What business is it of yours, you're just a waiter?" One of them didn't take Lao Bai seriously and strode towards the backyard.
Old Bai moved swiftly and silently blocked his path.
"Oh, there's still some left."
"Please tell me what you need in the lobby, sir."
"I'm not!"
Upon hearing this, the two attacked simultaneously, instantly igniting a battle.
Chu Yang, indulging in amusement, got up, walked to the counter, took out a pot of wine, poured himself a drink, and watched the two fight. (End of Chapter)
Chapter 219 Your Majesty, Spare My Life!
The man fighting Lao Bai was a swordsman with decent martial arts skills; at least his swordsmanship was passable. However, since he was fighting in the lobby of the inn, his swordsmanship and movement were restricted.
In contrast, Lao Bai was like a fish in water, and he immobilized the person who made the move in just a few moves.
Seeing this, the other two immediately drew their swords and attacked Lao Bai from the left and right. Their swordsmanship was clearly superior, and their coordination was excellent. Lao Bai quickly found himself at a disadvantage.
However, the two of them were relatively restrained in their moves, and did not intend to hurt anyone; they just wanted to subdue Lao Bai.
Even after being beaten, Lao Bai didn't ask Chu Yang for help.
Chu Yang chuckled and flicked his fingers, sending two streams of sword energy flying, knocking the swords off the two men.
"There are masters too!"
The two looked at Chu Yang in shock.
The fight alarmed everyone in the inn, and before they could do anything, Tong Xiangyu hurriedly came down from the second floor.
"What are you doing? What are you doing? Causing trouble at my Tongfu Inn?!"
Tong Xiangyu glared at him and said fiercely.
"Shopkeeper, is someone causing trouble? Behold my overwhelming force!"
Guo Furong excitedly ran out from the backyard. She hadn't fought anyone in a long time and was itching to show off her skills.
Xiucai and Dazui arrived last, hiding behind Guo Furong to observe.
"We apologize, everyone, we did not mean to cause trouble!"
"It's really urgent, I hope you can understand."
Seeing that Tongfu Inn had a large and powerful force, and that there were even experts hidden among them, the trio chose to follow their hearts and immediately became very polite.
"What's the matter?" Tong Xiangyu looked the three people up and down; they didn't seem like good people at all.
"Shopkeeper, they said they're here to see Xiao Bei," Lao Bai said in a low voice, standing next to Tong Xiangyu.
Tong Xiangyu's expression grew even more suspicious. "Looking for Xiao Bei? She's just a child, why would you want to see her?"
The three of them said in unison, "Let her be the sect leader!"
"What sect leader?"
"The leader of the Hengshan Sect!"
"Are the three of you from the Hengshan Sect?"
Everyone stared at them in surprise.
The oldest member of the trio began to introduce himself.
"My name is Lu Yiming. This person next to me is Junior Brother Zhu Xiaoyun, and the one whose pressure points have been acupunctured is Junior Brother Zhou Dunru."
At this point, Lu Yiming awkwardly laughed and said, "We are all disciples of the Hengshan Sect, not bad people. Please help my junior brother release his acupoints."
Old Bai glanced at Tong Xiangyu, who nodded, and then he helped Zhou Dunru, who had a rather fiery temper, release his acupoints.
"Good lad, your kung fu isn't bad!"
As soon as Zhou Dunru was able to move, he grabbed his sword and was about to continue fighting with Lao Bai, but his two fellow disciples held him back tightly.
"Even if you are disciples of the Hengshan Sect, if you try to cause trouble here, I'll still kick you out!"
Tong Xiangyu coldly issued her final warning.
Zhou Dunru then stood obediently to the side, no longer daring to act recklessly.
Tong Xiangyu continued, "Master Lu, I'd like to ask you, why did you choose Xiao Bei to be the sect leader?"
"Actually, the thing is..."
Lu Yiming recounted the recent experiences of the Hengshan Sect. Since the death of the previous sect leader, Mo Xiaobao, who was also Mo Xiaobei's elder brother, the Hengshan Sect had been in a state of leaderlessness. In order to select a new sect leader, the disciples fought and fought, and after several years, only three remained. If they fought again, the sect would be destroyed. Therefore, they had no choice but to select Mo Xiaobei as the sect leader.
After all, the Hengshan Sect belongs to her family, so it's perfectly legitimate for her to become the sect leader.
When Tong Xiangyu heard this, she couldn't refuse directly. There was a reason why they wanted Mo Xiaobei to be the leader, and as her future sister-in-law, she didn't have much say in this matter.
“Xiao Bei is already asleep. Why don’t you wait until the next day to talk to her again and see if she is willing to become the leader of the Hengshan Sect?”
Tong Xiangyu could only use an excuse to appease the three of them first.
Lu Yiming and his fellow disciples discussed the matter in hushed tones and then agreed with Tong Xiangyu's suggestion, planning to discuss it again the next day. Tong Xiangyu immediately asked Lao Bai to arrange a place for them to sleep.
Before leaving the hall, the three glanced at Chu Yang intentionally or unintentionally. Finally, Lu Yiming stepped forward, clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Your cultivation is profound, and I greatly admire you. May I ask if you may leave your name?"
"Who are you trying to befriend!" Old Bai quickly pulled Lu Yiming away, dragging him towards the backyard.
Tong Xiangyu hurriedly came over to apologize, "Your Highness, I'm sorry to disturb your rest so late at night."
"I just saw a good show in the lobby, it was quite interesting," Chu Yang said with a smile. "I've been staying at Tongfu Inn for a while now, and I guess I'll be leaving in a few days."
"Why don't you stay a few more days?" Tong Xiangyu was extremely anxious when she heard that the God of Wealth was leaving.
"I'll come again when I have the chance," Chu Yang politely declined. He actually really liked the noisy atmosphere of Tongfu Inn, but he had more important things to do right now.
Seeing that Chu Yang was determined to leave, Tong Xiangyu did not try to persuade him to stay, and only said that she would treat Chu Yang well in the next few days.
The next morning, there was a lot of noise downstairs. As soon as Chu Yang came out, he saw a sharp-tongued and domineering woman standing in the lobby.
The wife of Manager Qian.
Madam Qian seemed to be a martial arts expert and wanted to challenge Tong Xiangyu to a duel. Tong Xiangyu, however, would not allow it and had Lao Bai strike her pressure points when she wasn't paying attention. Then, Guo Furong used a powerful attack to knock her away.
Mrs. Qian suffered a great loss, left behind a few harsh words, and meant that she would send someone to cause trouble again.
"Your Highness is awake? I've already had Big Mouth prepare breakfast for you, please come down and eat."
When Tong Xiangyu saw Chu Yang, her face instantly changed to a smile.
Chu Yang sat down to eat breakfast. Guo Furong quietly approached him and whispered, "Senior brother, are you really leaving? Won't you stay a little longer?"
