Chapter 595: Shoes Greeting
Chapter 595: Shoes Greeting
The military camp of the Capital Iron Guard is very close to the capital. After exiting the gate and walking about a kilometer away, a camp appears in everyone's sight.
Soldiers wearing armor and holding spears walked by the military camp from time to time, inspecting the surrounding situation. Seeing Lin Xiaofan approaching, a group of soldiers quickly came up.
"The front is a forbidden area."
Seeing that Lin Xiaofan and Feng Sheng were both carrying weapons, the soldiers also took up their spears and formed a formation to prevent any sneak attacks.
"Wait, put down your weapons."
The leading officer suddenly spoke. After hearing this, several soldiers were confused, but they still put down their weapons as the military order was.
Just when Lin Xiaofan was confused, the other party walked over quickly, saluted them and said:
"Lord Champion Marquis, Princess Fengsheng."
Hearing this, the surrounding soldiers also reacted and saluted.
"Do you recognize us?"
Lin Xiaofan was a little surprised.
"My humble servant Liu San, I have met you two many times during the previous defense of the capital. Thanks to your timely actions, the capital was not lost."
The leading officer saluted, his tone full of seriousness.
"So, we are going to see General Guan."
Lin Xiaofan raised the gift in his hand and spoke.
"No problem. Please move to the barracks and wait for a moment. I will go and inform them."
Liu San spoke.
The military camp has its own rules. Even if the emperor is coming, he must be notified first.
"Go."
Lin Xiaofan nodded slightly, with a look of satisfaction on his face. The soldiers in the barracks were able to abide by the rules and not make exceptions because of his high status, which showed that they were an elite force.
Liu San trotted all the way to report, and before he had to wait long, he came back again and gestured for invitation.
"You two, please come in."
On the way, soldiers came from time to time to interrogate Lin Xiaofan, but Liu San dealt with them all.
When he reached the big tent, Liu San stopped and said:
"You two go inside. I won't go in."
Hearing this, Lin Xiaofan stepped directly in. Guan Rong's tent was relatively simple, with a few tables, a few chairs, and a few hanging maps.
There were four people sitting inside. The one in the middle was Guan Rong. He was wearing armor but no helmet, and his white hair was tied up with a hairpin. Two generals sat on his left and right. They were both seven feet tall, with strong backs and waists. Their armor shone coldly, which made people feel scared.
In the previous battle in the capital, Lin Xiaofan had also seen these two men. They were two fierce generals, whose fighting power was slightly inferior to Jian Bai and Feng Sheng.
There was another person standing next to Guan Rong. He was wearing a brocade robe covered in dust. His originally white and handsome face was now swollen to the size of a pig's head and had turned purple-gray in color. It was Guan Haoran who had just been severely beaten by Lin Xiaofan.
"Grandpa, it was him, he beat me!"
Guan Haoran was immediately excited when he saw Lin Xiaofan. Because one of his front teeth was knocked out, his speech was slurred and unclear.
Hearing this, a trace of surprise flashed across Guan Rong's face. Before he could speak, Lin Xiaofan stepped forward and said:
"General Guan, today Guan Haoran ate at the tavern and didn't pay, so his men beat up the waiter. I couldn't help it at the time and beat him up, so I came here to apologize."
As he spoke, Lin Xiaofan put the gift aside.
Hearing this, Guan Rong looked strange, turned back to look at Guan Haoran, his expression turned cold, and asked:
"Really?"
Guan Haoran was shocked when he saw his grandfather like this.
Although he was a playboy outside, he behaved very well at home. In addition, my grandfather was not at home all year round, so I didn't know his usual style of doing things.
Although his grandfather loved him very much, he always taught him to be a good person, do more good deeds, and not bully others. If he told everything he did, whether he would be beaten or not, his image in his grandfather's heart would be completely destroyed.
For a moment, he hated Lin Xiaofan. His brain worked rapidly and he quickly thought of a countermeasure.
"Grandpa, that's not the case. I thought the people I was traveling with had paid and were leaving. But the waiter said I didn't pay for my meal. Pang Gaochang has been practicing martial arts since he was young, and he wanted to show off his skills, so he beat up the waiter. He beat me up without knowing the truth."
Guan Haoran pointed at Lin Xiaofan and said, "He definitely couldn't recognize this matter, so he could only try to hide it."
However, what he didn't expect was that after these words, the anger on Guan Rong's face did not decrease but increased.
"You've also learned to lie, haven't you?"
Guan Haoran's face changed, and he tried to get away with it:
"Grandpa, it's absolutely true."
"Mr. Guan, aren't you afraid of being laughed at for saying this? Just ask around in the capital, and everyone will know your bad reputation, Guan Haoran."
Fengsheng, who was standing by, started to spoil the show. What she hated most was the oppression of the common people. In order to help Qingyu, she even killed a playboy from the Chen family in a rage.
If it weren't for Guan Rong giving face, she would have beaten to death Guan Haoran, who usually bullies the weak and dares to do things but not take responsibility.
"Princess Fengsheng, there is no need to say more. I trust you two. I was usually busy in the military camp and had no time to discipline him, but I ended up spoiling him into this state."
As Guan Rong spoke, he took off his shoes, held them and stood up.
"Grandpa, it's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding!"
Guan Haoran suddenly panicked, and before he could finish his words, Guan Rong's shoe sole hit him.
"I told you to be a bad boy, but you still come here to complain and confuse right and wrong. Didn't your father teach you how to behave?" Guan Rong was already furious at this time, and he hit Guan Haoran with the sole of his shoe again and again.
Normally, Guan Rong was the most indulgent towards Guan Haoran, but at this moment he suddenly flew into a rage. This scene frightened Guan Haoran so much that he didn't even dare to hide and just stood there blankly getting beaten.
After a while, until Guan Haoran lay on the ground wailing, Guan Rong's expression calmed down a little.
Today he was really angry. Before this, he always thought that although Guan Haoran was a little playful, he was also a good boy.
But now he realized that his good grandson did all kinds of evil things in the city on a daily basis, and he dared not take responsibility for his actions, lied casually, and confuse right and wrong, which really made him very angry.
"General Guan Rong, calm down. I've already taught him a lesson, and I don't think he'll dare to do it again."
Lin Xiaofan stepped forward to stop Guan Rong. Although Guan Haoran was shouting happily now, if he continued to fight for a while, he might not move.
"Champion Marquis, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you."
Guan Rong opened his mouth, turned his gaze to Guan Haoran again, and asked:
"Haoran, how much does your father give you every month?"
"Five...five hundred taels of silver."
Guan Haoran stammered and said that he was really scared after being beaten and did not dare to lie at this time.
"Then how many people ate for the meal you had, and how much taels of silver did it cost in total?"
Guan Rong then asked.
Guan Haoran glanced at Lin Xiaofan and Feng Sheng beside him, and knew that lying would not work, so he could only confess honestly: "The six of us spent 500 coins."
"Is it five hundred wen or five hundred taels?"
"Five hundred coins."
"Is the money your father gives you not enough to eat?" Guan Rong couldn't help but sneer, like a precursor to a volcanic eruption.
