Ji Feiyu turned around and glanced at the man. It was a dude with a face as big as a pancake. He was leading a group of vicious servants. With his mouth slightly open and his double - chin stroking, he was staring at her and Jingyun with ill intentions.
She was already wearing a bamboo hat. How could he still tell she was good - looking? Was she so elegant that she could look outstanding no matter what she wore? Ji Feiyu rolled her eyes at him and was about to leave when he directly blocked her way. He said to her with a leering smile, "I'm good at judging horses and have named myself the Bole of Miyun. How about selling this horse to me, my fair lady?" After saying that, he reached out his hand towards the reins that Ji Feiyu was holding.
Ji Feiyu quickly let go of the reins. Jingyun moved his head and snorted loudly. Bole of Miyun? How disgusting!
Seeing this, the man also quickly withdrew his hand. Then he smiled at Ji Feiyu again. "Oh, this horse is quite wild. I wonder if the lady is as wild in bed?"
Encountering a road - blocker was already annoying, and now he was saying such unpleasant things. Ji Feiyu really felt offended. Was it really okay to harass a decent woman in broad daylight? Was there no one to manage this in the streets of Miyun? Ji Feiyu was stunned.
She glared at the man disgustedly, but obviously he couldn't see it because of the bamboo hat. At this time, Hua Hudie stepped forward. Angrily with a local accent, he said, "Are you blind? Can't you see there's someone standing beside the lady?"
Hearing this, the man immediately got angry. He said, "Hey! You're the one who's blind, aren't you? Can't you see so many people behind me?"
Hua Hudie was unhappy after hearing this and started to roll up his sleeves. Even though his martial arts were not very good, he was determined to fight these people. Ji Feiyu saw his gesture and knew it had aroused the dissatisfaction of the other side. The other side was also about to make a move. Suddenly, she had an idea. She grabbed Hua Hudie and said to the man with a smile, "Wait a minute. You, sir, want to buy this horse. But I wonder if you can afford it?"
Seeing Ji Feiyu speak, Hua Hudie knew these people were doomed, so he stepped back.
Sure enough, the greasy pancake - faced man fell into the trap. He asked, "How much does the lady want?" His eager and sticky gaze made Ji Feiyu feel uncomfortable all over. She rolled her eyes at him and sneered, holding up five fingers.
The man pondered for a while, then looked at Ji Feiyu and said, "Fifty taels?"
Ji Feiyu shook her head. "Five hundred taels." Claiming to be Bole, what a joke. Could a blood - sweating treasure horse be bought for less than a hundred gold pieces?
Hearing this, the man smiled. He took out a bunch of silver notes from his bosom and stuffed them into Ji Feiyu's hand, flattering her, "I wonder if these are enough?"
Ji Feiyu took them and counted. Shaking her head and sighing, she said, "Not enough. These are only five hundred taels of silver. I want five hundred taels of gold."
"What?" Everyone stared at Ji Feiyu with wide eyes. Only Hua Hudie was smiling. He knew it.
"Lady... You're really asking for an exorbitant price... Five hundred taels of gold. Why don't you just rob me!" The man said with an embarrassed smile. Ji Feiyu smiled back at him, "I'm not asking for an exorbitant price. Since you're the Bole of Miyun, you should know I'm serious..."
The man hesitated and rubbed his hands. "But I don't have that much money on me now, and I really like this horse..."
"Okay. I'll let you ride this horse once with these five - hundred - tael silver notes. If you have the ability to ride it away and I can't catch up, I'll give you this horse." Ji Feiyu curled one corner of her mouth. She had already planned to let Jingyun teach him a good lesson.
Sure enough, the man believed her. He said happily, "Is that true?"
Ji Feiyu nodded. Hua Hudie beside her was smiling maliciously.
By now, Ji Feiyu actually didn't understand what this man's purpose was. If he had taken a fancy to the horse, he kept saying some harassing words from time to time. If he had taken a fancy to her, he was willing to pay a high price to try riding the horse. There were really all kinds of strange people in the world.
After Ji Feiyu said that, she let go of the reins and stood aside with her arms folded, waiting for him to make a fool of himself. Suddenly, she was grabbed by a person who squeezed in to watch. The person whispered to her, "Lady, you'd better return the money to him quickly and lead your horse away. This man is a well - known local tyrant. He has a strange temper and is crazy about horses. I'm afraid he'll ride away the horse and then come back to arrest you. Then you'll lose both your money and your horse!"
A tyrant... Ji Feiyu looked at his smiling pancake face. She really couldn't tell. She thought he was more of a lecher, whether it was towards the horse or towards people.
"It's okay. He can't ride this horse away." Ji Feiyu comforted the kind - hearted person and stood with Hua Hudie to watch the show.
The kind - hearted person left helplessly. The pancake - faced man began to reach out for the reins.
Jingyun seemed to sense a strange person approaching. Without moving his body, he turned his head, making the man miss. The man was not willing and reached out again. Unexpectedly, Jingyun took two steps and made him miss again.
Ji Feiyu couldn't help laughing at the man's embarrassed look. Hearing Ji Feiyu's soft laughter, the man blushed. Regardless of anything, he stepped forward quickly, grabbed the reins and tried to mount the horse forcefully. Jingyun sensed something was wrong and immediately got furious. He arched his body and began to jump around in place. Ji Feiyu had never seen a horse get so angry like this. She was a little scared. The man also looked panicked. Before he could steady his body, he was thrown off the horse hard.
"Ouch! Someone, hold this brute down for me!" The man sat on the ground, rubbing his buttocks and shouting.
Seeing this, his group of servants rushed forward to hold Jingyun. Jingyun glared at them angrily. He raised his front hooves and neighed loudly. Everyone was scared back. Ji Feiyu couldn't help cheering silently in her heart, Well done, Jingyun!
When Jingyun's front hooves touched the ground, the man told his servants to go forward again, but Ji Feiyu deliberately stopped them. "Hey! You're so rude. I was kind enough to let you ride my horse, but you let your servants bully it. What kind of horse - lover are you!"
Hearing this, the man's face blushed instantly. He got up from the ground and complained, "It was your horse that threw me off first! Since it can hurt me, why can't I hurt it?"
"You must have angered it!" After saying that, Ji Feiyu went to comfort Jingyun. By now, Ji Feiyu finally understood what the Second Prince meant by "having a bad temper and not allowing men to approach".
When Jingyun saw Ji Feiyu coming, he gradually calmed down. After running together all the way, Ji Feiyu and Jingyun had developed some understanding. She stepped forward and gently stroked his forehead. While being intimate with him, she whispered to Jingyun with a smile, "Well done!"
Jingyun blinked his innocent big eyes. Ji Feiyu blinked back at him. Then she turned to the man and said, "Do you still want to ride this horse?"
The man was not willing to give up. He stepped forward and shouted, "Ride! Why not!"
