Chapter 28: Rumors of the City Gate

As Ling Tian got up from the sedan and left the city gate, a procession of luxurious carriages covered in black cloth slowly entered into the city gate. There was a golden chrysanthemum flower woven on the outside of the carriage. The moment the city gate saw the golden chrysanthemum flowers, they immediately stood upright, saluting with their spears. They did not even check the carriages at all upon entering the city without reducing their speed. It was as if they were used to seeing the reactions of the guards and did not have any reactions.

When the guard commander saw the carriage enter the city, he wiped away the sweat formed on his forehead as he exclaimed with fear in his voice, “Yeah, what day is this today? Why did this man enter the city? ”

Beside him, a young soldier with a face full of acne asked curiously, “Master, who is it? Why does he look so cocky—”

Before he finished his sentence, his mouth was closed by the captain, “My little ancestor, would you die if you didn't say anything? Are you trying to kill us all?”

All the older troops then gave a deadly look at “jenius” which almost caused trouble for them, rushing forward to give him a nice punch. Moments later when they saw the carriage leaving, the captain said in a trembling voice, “That's almost just .. It looks like his mood is quite good today. You scoundrels! When you go off duty later, go and punish yourself with a whip. In the future, don't ask about things you shouldn't be doing! ” All the older soldiers began to nod in agreement.

In the front carriage, the sedan curtain was lifted and a cute head emerged from it. She was a four to five year old child with black hair, soft skin and beautiful eyebrows. His lips were thin with big, shiny eyes. Despite her young age, everyone could tell with one look that she was beautiful. When he grows up, he will definitely become a rare gem.

At that moment, his red lips chewed on some snacks as he asked, “Grandfather, so this is his capital? Wow, this is huge! There are so many people! Look there, it's so beautiful..” Her voice is so amazing. As he said that, he looked around with his black eyes.

Inside the carriage, an old voice sounded, “Mmm, Xue’er is good, this is the capital. Back then, grandfather lived here for 20 years ..” Speaking up to this point, his old voice was already filled with ******* which was deep in time even though he was reminiscing about something.

The little girl, Xueer, was naturally unable to understand her grandfather's feelings. His head was still poking out the window as he looked around excitedly. Sometimes, he also yelled, “Wow! Look there, look there, there is a beautiful lantern ..”

“Grandpa, quickly look, there is a monkey on his shoulder .. Hehehe .. Oi, little monkey ..”

“See there, look there, there's a haw ball there, help me buy that bar. Yes yes, yes, quickly! Oh no, hmph!”

Inside the carriage, a 50 to 60 year old man wearing a purple robe sat on top of the rocking carriage, looking at the screams of his granddaughter and shouting in joy with an doting smile. His eyes then narrowed as he thought, Imperial Capital .. I, Xiao FengHan, return …

Outside the carriages, there were people pulling sales, bargaining noises, children's cries, various chats and more. Suddenly, as if the old man heard something, his face changed and he reached out his right hand from the window and beckoned a mysterious hand.

The entire carriage procession suddenly stopped. In fact, they did not stop completely; their speed slowed down to 10 times slower than before. In the eyes of ordinary people, the procession of this carriage was as good as stationary …

The little girl was very excited as she jumped off the carriage and ran towards the peddler selling haw balls. He then took out a stick of them, smiling as he ate it.

The peddler was stunned for a moment; seeing this adorable child, he forgot to collect money from her for a moment. After being in a short daze, a large hand stretched out on the side with a lump of silver fell into his hand. Just when the peddler wanted to say thank you, the person paid no heed and left just like that. While there, the peddler felt that he was in a dream.

Not far from the carriage, there were some people discussing something, with their saliva flying around it. The thing that caught the attention of the old man in the car was the conversation between these men.

“... Do you know? Something happened at the city gate just now.”

“Oh what happened?”

“Hehe, do you guys know about Ling's house? The young master of the Ling family had just made a ruckus at the city gate.”

“Ah? You are referring to young master Ling Tian? I've heard it. Despite his young age, he was very domineering. I even heard that he almost beat his cousin to death on the first lesson with his teacher. Furthermore, he even hit that teacher.. ”.

“Mm mm, I've also heard about it. The rumors are true. Right at the city gate just now, his bodyguard did not offend him and just called him” young master “once. But he did not want to accept that talking and scolding them on the spot. The words he used were too unpleasant in the ears, and he even broke two teeth from his guard. What was wrong with his bodyguard calling him young master? really... “As he said that, he shook his head with a look of disdain.

“This is not considered much, at least he is still beating someone from his own family. I heard that in the afternoon on Azure Dragon Street, he beat up someone for no apparent reason, crippling that person. At that moment, the people were tens of feet away from him and did not even provoke him at all. He only dominates to the extreme. ”.

“Ah, wouldn't any of her family members discipline her?” This person was someone who had just joined the conversation.

“Cheh, what do you know? This young master was the son of general Ling, Duke Ling's only grandson. Who would dare to discipline him? As for his own family, they couldn't wait to love him. Discipline? You must be dreaming! With the strength of the Ling family, not to mention beating up a few people, he would be fine even if he killed several hundred innocent people! ”

“Haiz, if this child grows up, he will be another plague in the capital!” Someone shook his head while sighing.

“When he grows up? Brother, he is already a plague in the capital now!”

“Haiz, I am referring to the large number of women who will suffer in his hands when he grows up. I heard when this young master was going through the ceremony” catch one year “, he caught the scent. his aunt's bag! I heard that Duke Ling had thrown away all the fragrance bags from the mansion back then, afraid that he would pick them up. In the end, the empress herself had it. But this boy refused to take anything at first, only catching the bag of fragrances when his aunt came! Hehehe... ”.

“Ah? Is there this problem too? Thank goodness I don't have a daughter. Otherwise, he would definitely be destroyed by it. I don't even have a place to go if I want to report to her .. ”

“That's right, with your face like that, it would be nice if someone wanted your daughter. Who is young master Ling Tian, will he like your daughter?”

“…”

“…”

Inside the carriage, the purple-robed elder's face became progressively worse by a second. When he heard to the end, his face was already completely pale. His chest began to rise and fall with his heavy breathing as his eyes burned with anger. He then scolded hatefully, “Damn it, you old bastard! This is the granddaughter-in-law you gave me ?! This old man will not let you go!”
