Through Time Chapter 33

“What’s all the fuss about?”

Inside the study, a flamboyantly dressed middle-aged man put down a bamboo slip and frowned at the eight-character beard.

The eight-character beard was not bothered by the reprimand and said that

“House Master, I found a caravan at the city gate today with forty or fifty young girls inside.”

“All of them were two or eight years old!”

Hearing this, the middle-aged man’s eyes faintly lit up with

“Forty or fifty maidens?”

“Which family is it that is so generous?”

The eight-legged beard showed a smile at this point and said

“Family head, the beauty of it is that it is not someone we know here.”

“I’ve asked around, it’s someone from outside the city who came to the marketplace to buy something! And the person in charge is just a hairless kid.”

The middle-aged man stood up straight away this time and

“From outside the city?!”

After two steps back and forth across the room, the middle-aged man pondered for a moment and said that

“This matter must not be rushed, they are going to the market place tomorrow and will certainly not leave the city, so there is still time.”

“You go ahead and send someone to follow them and scout around.”

“I will then make a decision.”

At once, the eight-letter beard led the way and retreated.

When the eight-character beard had left, the middle-aged man called out towards the outside that

“Come, men!”

At once a squire came in from the shadows.

“Go check to see if it is any of the powerful gentry around Xianyang City, and within tomorrow, you must report it.”

“Yes, Your Majesty!”

The attendant saluted and retired.

The middle-aged man sat down again on his knees, but said with a touch of self-deprecation that

“A monarch? What am I worthy of being a monarch, a man who does not even dare to leave his door?”

“And now I’m even worse than a sl*t for all the shady business I do.”

“Shut up!”

Just then, a scolding voice came from the doorway.

The middle-aged man looked up, only to see an old man with a head full of white hair, looking at him angrily.

“Uncle! I…”

The middle-aged man hurriedly stepped forward and tried to help the other man, but he was waved away by the white-haired old man.

The white-haired old man took out a cane and angrily said that

“Take off your clothes and kneel down!”

The middle-aged man stopped arguing and knelt down, then took off his shirt, revealing a back with tiny scars.

The white-haired old man waved his hand straight away!

Snap!

The vine landed on his back, startling a bloodstain.

The old man with white hair asked.

“Speak! Who are you!”

The middle-aged man, bruised from the blow, fought back the pain and said that

“I am the son of the King of Qi! Tian Qi!”

SMACK! Another snap!

“Say! What do you want! ”

“It is imperative to destroy the tyrant Qin! Execute the tyrant! To avenge my father! No matter what! ”

Snap!

“The revenge of your father, the King of Qi, being starved alive by a tyrant, dare not forget!”

“I dare not forget!”

The room was filled with one question and one answer.

Outside the room, a single attendant in the shadows, all looking around with extreme vigilance.

A night without words.

Zhao Lang got up early today.

People always sleep less solidly when they are outside.

Xiaojiu and Xiaoqi were also up early and were freshening him up.

The chattering and laughter of young girls was also coming from outside the door.

Everyone was looking forward to today’s trip.

Soon, Zhao Lang got sorted out and walked out the door.

As soon as he looked outside, Zhao Lang gave a bitter smile.

He had been careless after all.

He didn’t expect how much attention he would attract by taking nearly fifty young girls with him when he went out at once.

“When you go out today, you all put your heads on a swivel.”

“Also, no going alone and no straying too far from the larger group.”

Zhao Lang instructed once again.

Although there was Uncle Hef and the others following along, there were simply too many girls and it was impossible to keep an eye on them all.

“Family head, don’t worry, we will follow you closely.”

Su saw Zhao Lang’s concern and returned.

Zhao Lang also didn’t want to make the young girls too nervous and showed a smile and said that

“Okay, let’s set off then.”

So he let Wang Li lead the way, and the group headed towards the market place.

And just above the inn, at a window on the street, the burly young man who had stared at Zhao Lang yesterday was looking at the neatly organized group and said.

“Young uncle, this man actually has so many servants.”

“It must be a local powerful man, should we make friends?”

He didn’t say anything about his encounter with Zhao Lang yesterday.

The middle-aged man looked down at Zhao Lang’s group, then shook his head and said

“We’re not familiar with Xianyang, so we’d better forget it. ”

“Besides, these people may not be able to protect themselves.”

“Look around this group.”

The burly young man stood upstairs and glanced to either side of this procession.

Then he frowned slightly, there were several people in the crowd secretly following this procession.

At once the middle-aged man spoke again, saying

“So, Yu’er, you finally know now why I told you that you must keep a low profile for people, right?”

“As for you, this time, just be honest, we’ll buy the goods back, and I, Xiang Bo, can never come to Xianyang again.”

The burly young man, however, just pretended not to hear him and asked

“Young uncle, this is Xianyang, do these people dare to make a move too?”

Xiang Bo said, in disbelief.

“Inside the city they naturally don’t dare to make a move, outside the city it’s not so sure.”

“Come on, why are you so concerned about others? Hurry up and pack up, let’s go to the marketplace!”

The burly youth was silent, he always felt as if the other party knew him.

He felt that it was better to find a chance to ask for clarification, otherwise, if his identity was leaked here.

Surely he would not live to leave the city!

At this moment, Zhao Lang had already led his men all the way to the city square.

When he arrived at the place, he was still slightly disappointed.

It was because there was still some gap between this place and the mall he had imagined.

But the young girls were happy, and that was enough.

“Seven, you guys stop being on my side and go for a stroll too.”

Zhao Lang laughed.

The two of them didn’t push back, they had been holding it in for so long.

Together with the other young girls, in groups of four or five, they went shopping.

Uncle Hef took to hell and back, each with a group to ensure safety.

Everyone wouldn’t be too far away anyway.

“Long, why don’t you go for a stroll?”

Wang Li asked, curiously.

“Haven’t you never been in the city before? Now that you’ve entered Xianyang and seen the prosperity of the capital city, why aren’t you strolling around instead?”

Zhao Lang laughed a little helplessly.

As the capital city of the Great Qin, Xianyang was naturally majestic and magnificent.

But compared to what Zhao Lang had seen and heard in his previous life, the difference was really too great.

So, instead, he now lost his interest in strolling, and returned to.

“It’s nothing, I didn’t rest well last night, so I don’t have much energy.”

“Go and see, no need to mind me.”

Wang Li didn’t force it, he was going into the city now, just so he could go and take care of some things as well.

So he said.

“Alright then, I’ll be back in an hour.”

When Wang Li had left, Zhao Lang looked for a place with a wider view.

It was convenient to watch the young girls who were in groups in the streets, just in case.

Only a short time after he had stood, a voice came from behind him and

“This gentleman, my name is Xiang Yu, do you and I know each other?”

Zhao Lang turned around and saw the burly young man he had met at the city gate yesterday.

Before he could even think of how to return, two options appeared before Zhao Lang’s eyes.

“One: Answer to know, rewarding the Overlord Marksmanship!”

“Two: Answer no recognition, rewarding proficiency in Sword Technique!”
