Chapter 844 The Substitute Bride (6)
Chapter 844 The Substitute Bride (6)
Outside the border city, there are rolling yellow sands or great rivers, while outside the capital city, there are wide roads, and no matter which direction you go, you will encounter a few houses.
The big cat's territory was in a prosperous area of the city, and at this time, some people looked down on the areas outside the city.
Gou Ding was a little excited. He had eaten his fill outside the city before. Although there weren't many people here, begging would still provide enough food for him. He wouldn't go hungry after a day of running around.
Xiong Bufan did not linger near the farmers, but led the beggars onward.
After walking for two or three kilometers, Xiong Bufan didn't stop; instead, he kept looking around.
Gou Ding: "Boss, where are we going?"
Are there bandits outside the capital?
Gou Ding looked at the big cat; this man begged in a bustling area of the city and had more information about him.
Big Cat shook his head. "Boss, I don't know where there are robbers."
"It's alright, it'll be ready soon. I hereby declare that from this day forward, I will lead you on a robbery spree along this road, and I will make sure you are well-fed and clothed before winter."
Begging is acceptable, but robbery is absolutely unacceptable, as robbery can cost you your life.
Big Cat immediately backed down, "Boss, let's just forget about it. We can take over more territory in the city and beg for food every day, that should be enough to fill our stomachs."
Xiong Bufan: "You're spineless. If you beg for food, people might not give it to you, but if you steal it, they'll definitely give it to you."
Upon hearing this, Gou Ding's eyes became somewhat confused. "Is that really true, boss?"
"necessary."
Xiong Bufan was already hiding behind a small mound. She was determined to rob him; this was her path to wealth and her favorite way to make money without any initial investment.
Big Cat didn't want to rob anyone; he just wanted to be an honest beggar, marry a female beggar when the time came, and have a beggar child.
"Boss, we have nothing, how are we supposed to rob someone?"
Xiong Bufan: "Of course we'll use sticks and our bare hands. What else can we use? Are you going to kneel on the ground and beg them for money?"
Big Cat, Gou Ding, and other beggars: It's not impossible.
Hearing someone approaching from afar, Xiong Bufan shouted to the beggars, "Come here quickly, or I'll beat you to death!"
The beggars reluctantly approached Xiong Bufan, who pulled out a pile of black cloths from his pocket and handed them to them. "Cover your faces. If you're going to rob someone, you have to look like you're robbing someone."
"Okay, boss."
The sounds of horses' hooves and cart wheels drew closer, and sweat poured down the beggars' foreheads, whether from fear or the heat, it was hard to tell.
Xiong Bufan took out her sword, sharpening it with eagerness; no one could stop her from making a fortune.
In a normal robbery, someone would find something to block the way. Xiong Bufan couldn't find a suitable one right away, so he simply threw the big cat in front of the carriage and then jumped out, shouting, "Robbery!"
The big cat's fat body kicked up some dust, and it kept yelping and groaning as it landed.
The coachman quickly stopped the carriage when he saw someone appear. "Who is it?"
Do you know who our master is?
Xiong Bufan: "You hit my brother, so you have to pay up."
On the other side of the carriage, a maid dressed as a palace maid silently slipped into the carriage. A group of soldiers ran out from behind the carriage and surrounded Xiong Bufan. "How dare you! How dare you obstruct the princess's journey!"
Big Cat was still a bit sore from the fall and was rolling around on the ground, letting Xiong Bufan swindle him out of money. But when he heard that it was a princess's ride and that she was someone he couldn't afford to offend, he scrambled away and tried to run away.
Xiong Bufan realized the big cat's intention and stepped on the big cat's leg to prevent him from running away.
Surrounded by menacing soldiers, and unable to move because of this woman, the big cat closed its eyes and pretended to be dead.
As Xiong Bufan rode on the big cat and listened to the beggars' footsteps quietly disappearing into the distance, he felt a little irritated. He said to the carriage, "Hurry up and pay, or don't blame me for being impolite."
A dignified female voice came from inside the carriage, "If you still don't move aside, I will kill you."
The accomplices were sent to the Prefect of the Capital.
"Yes."
The soldiers, their killing intent palpable, charged straight at Xiong Bufan.
Xiong Bufan stretched out his hand, "Stop! I'm so hungry I have no other choice. You don't have to be so cruel."
Give me some money and I'll leave.
Upon hearing this sound, a brocade pouch was tossed out from inside the carriage.
Xiong Bufan reached out and caught it, weighed it in his hand, opened it and found a silver ingot inside. He then turned around, picked up the big cat, and ran away.
Everyone's after money, there's no need to fight with others, that would be a waste of energy.
Kongkong licked his paws and washed his face; Xiong Bufan is truly flexible and adaptable.
Once outside the carriage's reach, with a "thud," the big cat was thrown to the ground, waking up.
Xiong Bufan: "You piece of trash, if you play dead again next time, I'll throw you into a big pot and boil you up."
Big Cat: "Yes, yes, yes, boss."
Xiong Bufan took out three copper coins from the brocade pouch and gave them to the big cat, saying, "Here, this is your commission."
"Thank you, boss."
Hearing the approaching sound of horses' hooves, Xiong Bufan grabbed the big cat and rushed out, saying, "Don't thank me yet, this job isn't finished."
Big Cat: I refuse, I strongly refuse.
This time, the woman from the capital was a young lady from a wealthy family. Xiong Bufan didn't directly mention the street; instead, he left the large cat in front of the carriage and sat on the ground, wailing, "Kind lady, kind madam, kind young master, please have pity on us..."
If you can be an extraordinary bear, you will succeed no matter how poor you are.
Ordinary young ladies were much easier to deal with than the princess's carriage. No one brandished knives or threw anything. Only a little maid took out half a string of copper coins and placed them in Xiong Bufan's hand, asking her to go buy medicine for Big Cat.
After receiving the money, Xiong Bufan didn't linger. He grabbed the big cat and left, ensuring he wouldn't become a burden to anyone.
This time, Big Cat was basically sober. He figured out that Xiong Bufan's idea of robbery was actually just a disguised form of begging.
Xiong Bufan weighed the money in his hand and felt that he had enough for today's meal. He then gave a few copper coins to the big cat and returned to the city alone.
In Xiong Bufan's eyes, the big cat was just a roadblock.
Kongkong: "Bufan, are we going to keep begging like this forever?"
"No, I'll find my own money tree, like the original owner's cheap husband."
Kongkong: "Bufan, you absolutely mustn't fall in love with that blind, lame, and wicked idiot Zhanwang. Otherwise, we'll lose our bet."
Xiong Bufan grinned crookedly, "No, I already have a good idea."
Kongkong didn't know who was unlucky this time, but whoever it was, they brought it on themselves.
After not seeing Xiong Bufan, the big cat ran into the city as if his life depended on it. He must have been out of his mind to rob and swagger around with that despicable woman.
Since being taken away by Ye Feisheng, Zhan Wang has only regained consciousness once. The rest of the time, he lies quietly in bed like a blind, beautiful man.
Ye Feisheng kept applying medicine and feeding the patient, and arranged for servants to wipe the patient's face and body.
If love between two people is meant to last, why should they care about their parents-in-law? Love and affection are what matter.
