TFHS: Chapter 146

It was too unexpected, so Feng Ming forgot to resist. Just as people around him exclaimed, Bai Qiaomo stepped forward with cold eyes. He reached out, grabbed the whip, and pulled it hard.

At this time, there was another scream. Then people around them saw a ball of red rolling out of the carriage.

Looking closely, they saw that it was a woman in bright red clothes, holding a whip in her hand. She was forcibly pulled out of the carriage. Her clothes and hair were a bit disheveled, and her headdress had fallen to the ground.

In another situation, there would definitely be many people applauding and saying that she deserved it or blaming the passerby. Either way, the whip lashed toward a person’s face without any warning.

At this time, everyone looked at the person involved, Feng Ming. That delicate face made people wonder. Was the woman in the carriage too jealous when she saw this face, so she came up with a vicious trick to destroy the face?

Don’t talk about how nobles wouldn’t do such a thing, and don’t think they were too noble. There had never been a shortage of arrogant and domineering young men in Imperial City who bullied women.

There was a piercing scream, followed by a cursing voice. “How dare you? Catch those untouchables for me. I’m going to beat them to death!”

Feng Ming finally came to his senses. He was protected behind Bai Qiaomo and could clearly feel coldness and anger from Bai Qiaomo.

Feng Ming was also very angry. What type of person was this?

He was so angry that he stuck out his head from behind Bai Qiaomo and cursed. “Untouchable? Who are you calling an untouchable, you untouchable? If I am an untouchable then your whole family are all untouchables.”

“Are you crazy? You whip people for no reason. Is this the trend of this Imperial City under the feet of the emperor? In your mouth, us outsiders to Imperial City are all untouchables? Let me ask everyone if we agree. Even the wise and mighty emperor wouldn’t agree with your words, you untouchable.”

“Is there any rule in Imperial City that says you will be whipped when walking on the street? If there is such a rule, I will whip you a hundred times and see if I can’t beat you to death!”

Feng Ming was really angry. He jumped up and down and cursed. Fortunately, he still had some rationality or he would’ve run up and beat this woman half to death.

Originally, Feng Ming was shocked by the sight of Imperial City. Now he encountered this unfortunate incident before he even entered. His impression of Imperial City immediately dropped.

It was a shame that Kong Zhao even tried to win over Brother Bai and let Brother Bai work for the court. Was this type of court worthy of Brother Bai working for it?

There were many nobles in Imperial City. There was even a saying in his previous life that if a plaque fell down, seven out of ten of them were of the third-rank. There was also a saying that in a place like the capital, throwing a brick randomly would hit a red hat.

The same was true in this world. There was no shortage of dignitaries rushing in and out of Imperial City’s gates.

Feng Ming was so angry that he wanted to curse. He would curse this bast*rd who called herself a ‘young lady’ to death. At worst, he wouldn’t stay in this Imperial City any longer.

The Feihong Continent was so big. Was there no place for Feng Ming to survive?

At this moment, applause came from behind him. Feng Ming and Bai Qiaomo turned their heads and saw a young man in gorgeous clothes, riding the same fire-scale horse. He sat on a tall horse and clapped.

“This young master said it well. The people inside and outside Imperial City are all His Majesty’s subjects. What is the point of talking about untouchables and non-untouchables? Is this a new rule set by someone? This young master has just returned to Imperial City recently. Could it be that I am ignorant of this?”

The young man waved to the armored guards who came to maintain order due to the commotion here. “Come here. Can one of you tell me about these new rules?”

“Who are you? How dare you meddle in my business? I will beat you too!”

The woman, whose clothes and hair were tangled into a ball, finally got up from the ground with the help of the maid who got off the carriage. She slapped the maid in the face with her backhand and shouted angrily at the young man on the horse.

The young man wasn’t a good-tempered person. He knew that some people in Imperial City were too arrogant, but he didn’t expect that someone would offend him. He rode his horse forward, raised his whip, and whipped the arrogant woman.

“How dare you? I just wanted to say a few fair words when I saw injustice, but I didn’t expect to meet such a rude person. I will take care of this matter. Take a few lashes from me first. Then you can taste the feeling of being whipped.”

The development of this matter was beyond the expectations of Feng Ming and Bai Qiaomo. Even the other people watching at the city gate were stunned and whispered about who this young man on the horse was.

Feng Ming’s eyes lit up immediately, and he clapped in applause. “Well done! Those who beat others will be beaten. I think she deserves a beating so that she can’t use the whip to whip others.”

Jiang Ran and the others queuing with Feng Ming and Bai Qiaomo to enter the city were completely unable to speak.

They really wanted to cover Feng Ming’s mouth. Brother Feng was too bold. It was obvious that this girl had a powerful background. How else could she dare to act so arrogantly?

Weren’t Feng Ming and Bai Qiaomo afraid that the other person would come after them later and make it impossible for them to stay in Imperial City?

No, not being able to stay in Imperial City was a trivial matter. The most frightening thing was that their lives would be in danger.

Jiang Ran was so anxious that sweat broke out on his head, but Bai Qiaomo nodded in agreement. If Feng Ming wanted to whip someone at this time, Bai Qiaomo would definitely hand him a whip.

There was chaos at the gate of Imperial City. At first, the maid and coachman rushed forward to grab the whip, but an elder came out from behind the young man and stopped the coachman. The coachman couldn’t do anything to protect his young lady.

At this time, the coachman was so frightened that he broke out into a cold sweat. Who was this young man? This elder was much stronger than him, and might be a master in the essence dan realm.

He knew most of the dignitaries in Imperial City, but the face of this young man was very unfamiliar.

No matter how the woman used her maid to resist the whip, the whip still fell on her in the end. At first, she was cursing. Later, she found that she didn’t have the energy to curse any longer after screaming. The more she cursed, the more fiercely she was beaten. This person wasn’t stupid to the end.

The young man stopped after a dozen lashes. He was just giving a lesson, not really wanting to beat her to death.

A captain of the armored guards came over and saluted the young man respectfully.

The captain was also embarrassed. Imperial City never had any new rules like the one the young man mentioned. It was just that the powerful and wealthy were used to bullying others.

“This young man…”

The young man showed an ID card to the captain. The captain’s eyes widened and his attitude immediately became more respectful. No wonder why this young man dared to hit someone.

He also knew the identity of the girl who was beaten. He could tell from the family emblem on the carriage. She was from the Ningyuan Marquis’ Mansion in Imperial City. Their influence wasn’t very big, but it wasn’t small either.

After all, this was a noble family in Imperial City. Ordinary people couldn’t afford to offend them.

The young man pointed to the carriage and the people on the ground with his whip, saying, “Send two people to the Ningyuan Marquis’ Mansion for me. Tell them that I couldn’t stand it and beat her. If the marquis’ household wants revenge, they can come after me.”

“Yes, I’ll arrange someone to do so.”

The captain called over two armored guards and asked them to send the young lady and the carriage to the Ningyuan Marquis’ Mansion. He explained the reason and whispered the young man’s identity into their ears. The two armored guards immediately took action.

At this time, the young man looked at Feng Ming and Bai Qiaomo again. He smiled and said, “You don’t recognize me, but I recognize you. I didn’t expect to meet Young Master Feng and Young Master Bai here. I came from Gaoyang County. You came to Imperial City to participate in the league, right? It is just right. I will give you a ride.”

Feng Ming and Bai Qiaomo looked at each other. They were surprised that the other person called out their identities, but they also realized who this young man was.

He was from Gaoyang County and had such a prominent background. Only one person met the requirements, and that was the young city lord of the City Lord’s Mansion of Gaoyang County, the one known as the little marquis.

It wasn’t surprising that the other person recognized Bai Qiaomo. After all, Bai Qiaomo was once a celebrity in Gaoyang County. Unexpectedly, the young marquis even recognized Feng Ming. This made Feng Ming feel very surprised.

“It turned out to be the young marquis. Thank you for your help just now. I will have to trouble you.”

A thigh was extended for them to hug. Feng Ming would be a fool to push it away. He was annoyed for a moment, but after calming down, he couldn’t help worrying that he had implicated Jiang Ran and the others.

He and Bai Qiaomo weren’t afraid of things getting out of hand. At worst, they could just walk away.

The young man laughed. This ger’s personality was really interesting. He had seen it in Gaoyang County. Wu Yingyan was badly cheated and was now dead, while the ger was living a more comfortable life.

The young man waved his hand. “It isn’t a big deal. Come with me and call your friends to come along.”

“Okay. Brother Jiang, hurry up and follow.”

Jiang Ran and the others looked at each other, but decisively followed.

Once their group left, the others who stayed behind and queued obediently started talking about it.

“That girl has really hit a wall. She thought she was bullying someone with no background. Unexpectedly, the friend he knows is very important.”

“Tsk tsk, did you hear? She is the young lady of the Ningyuan Marquis’ Mansion. No wonder why she whipped his face for looking at her for even a second.”

“Shh, keep your voice down. I’ve heard some things about the Ningyuan Marquis’ Mansion. I heard that this young lady hates pretty people the most. Every time she sees someone pretty, she wants to whip that person’s face. Of course, she only dares to bully people with no background. Who would dare to bully the really powerful people?”

“The young lady of the Ningyuan Marquis’ Mansion dared to do this because there is a girl in the mansion who married a prince of the imperial family. Of course, she is very powerful with the imperial family as her backing.”

“Tsk, marrying a prince? Do you know how many princes and imperial family members there are in the capital? If they are all as arrogant as her then ordinary people can’t survive.”

“Who is that young master on the horse? The armored guards seem to be quite afraid of him. He seems to be more powerful than the Ningyuan Marquis’ Mansion.”

“I heard others call him the young marquis. Could it be that he is from some powerful marquis’ mansion in the capital? Maybe it is one with real power.”

The Ningyuan Marquis’ Mansion might have a girl who married into the prince’s mansion, but it couldn’t be considered a family with real power.

Some people also speculated on the backgrounds of Feng Ming and Bai Qiaomo. Judging from the way they acted, they seemed quite brave. They couldn’t be ordinary people. Since they dared to act like that, they could afford the consequences.
