Chapter 70 - Save the BossHearing this furious roar, the two servants were stunned. The servant who had just been shouting for people to capture the Cloud Beast mumbled to himself in a daze, "Oh my G.o.d, a Cloud Beast that speaks human language!"
"I …"
Suddenly, Lin Wan"er"s voice came from outside the courtyard."Young Master Niu, why are you here? Let go of him, this is the son of Niu Shangshu!" When the two servants heard this, they hurriedly let go of the ball of meat they were tightly holding.
"Aiya!"
Upon hearing Lin Wan"er"s voice, it was as if he had seen his savior.
"Miss Wan"er, you"ve finally come. Your family"s heir, where"s my good brother Xiang Yun? Quickly bring him out!"
With Lin Wan"er"s guidance, the two servants were able to clearly see the head of the meatball. It was definitely not around the neck anyways, it was just like a big clove of garlic growing in the dry land.
"Young master Niu, why are you looking for my young master?" Lin Wan"er asked cautiously, glancing at the naked fat cow as she turned her head away.
This Young Master Niu was the son of the Board of Justice"s president"s family. He had been together with Xiang Yun back in Dragon City and had been disgraced by his father. Xiang Yun and the latter had spent time together to visit the brothel gambling house.
Lin Wan"er thought to herself, "These days, our young master has been a little too obedient. He hasn"t run around, so we can"t let him lead us astray."
"Ouch!"
Fatty Niu was so anxious that his fat was shaking. He said impatiently, "Lady Wan-Er, hurry and call your son out. This is a serious matter!""My son has been staying in seclusion for the past few days. Does Young Master Niu want to come back in at least two days?"
"Ah, that won"t do. We have to do it now. If we"re too late, it will be too late!"
The young master didn"t care about whether Lin Wan"er agreed or not. He shook his fat body and prepared to charge in!"Ox Fatty, what are you doing in such a rush this afternoon? Where"s your family"s pig slaughtering?" At this moment, Xiang Yun"s voice came from the side room of the courtyard.
Fatty Niu looked up, immediately feeling as if he had seen a savior. He was wild with joy. Xiang Yun saw a spherical monster that weighed four to five hundred jin scurrying towards him!
"Boss, my good brother!"
Xiang Yun did not dare to let Fatty Niu hug him. If this tiger pounce were to crush his waist, what would he do? Fatty Niu hurriedly retreated, but Fatty Niu threw himself at him and grabbed onto one of Xiang Yun"s legs!Fatty Niu was like a drowning man who had grabbed hold of a piece of duckweed and tightly hugged onto Xiang Yun"s leg. His face revealed a sorrowful expression as he wailed, "Boss, help me!"
"Let go!" Being hugged by this beef-like fellow, Xiang Yun felt a greasy and uncomfortable feeling coming from his leg, as if he had been wrapped by the fat meat from a pork pancake. He hurriedly tried to pull his foot back!
However, this fatty was clawing with all his might, as if he would not let go even if he were beaten to death!
"Boss, no matter what, you have to save little brother"s life.""Fatty Niu, if you don"t let go, then don"t count on me to save your life!" Xiang Yun said in a deep voice.
As expected, Fatty Niu obediently let go when he heard this. He struggled to get up and looked pitifully at Xiang Yun. "Boss, I"ve let go this time. You have to save me, Brother!""What"s going on? Has he been robbed, and now he"s running here naked?"
"I"m not running naked! I"m even wearing shorts!"As he spoke, he even stretched out his hand to forcefully brush away the layers of flesh that covered his stomach, revealing a pair of red shorts!
"Uh okay, tell me what happened to you, right?" Xiang Yun looked at this fellow with a helpless expression!
The fat Niu finally had the chance to pour out his bitter water. With a wronged look on his face, he said, "Young Heir, I was beaten up by someone!""What did he get beaten up about?" Xiang Yun was truly a little surprised this time!
The father of the fatty in front of him was the president of the Ministry of Justice, Niu Feihu. He held a great position in the family.
In the Dragon City, he and Fatty Niu were known as the Dragon City"s Twin Devils. They were famous for being the silkpants of the imperial city.
Afterwards, he had been demoted to Qin Feng City. Perhaps this fellow no longer had a backer, and had been targeted by others in Dragon City. He automatically requested for his father to send him to Qin Feng City to accompany Xiang Yun.Even in Qin Feng city, the foppish young lord"s personality did not decrease at all. He ate, drank, played and acted arrogantly all day long, using the words that he always spoke: "Qin Feng city, the little crown prince is ranked first, your father is second, the mayor is third, what are you afraid of!"
Although this brat was very arrogant, with his status, no one in Qin Feng city dared to offend him other than Xiang Yun.
"Kid, you got beaten up? You must be joking. " Xiang Yun pursed his lips. He didn"t believe it at all!
"I really got beaten up!"
Fatty Niu immediately became anxious and quickly began to rummage through the fat all over his body. His two hands fiddled with the meat as he pulled out a few lumps of fat, pointing at the bruises as he spoke to Xiang Yun.
"Boss, look over here! It was all beaten up by someone!"
Xiang Yun looked over and saw that this fatty did indeed have a few bruises on his body. With this fellow"s thick skin and thick flesh, to be able to leave bruises upon him, it was clear that he had used quite a bit of manpower.
"There really is someone hitting you!" Xiang Yun looked at Fatty Niu in shock.
"That"s right, these fellows are really brave. They simply do not put us, the Dragon City"s Twin Devils, in their eyes!" Very wisely, Fatty Niu tied the both of them to a rope!
"Wait a minute!" Xiang Yun looked at Fatty Niu"s bare arms and suddenly asked, "Where are your sabers and swords? Didn"t you take a bath and bring them with you?"
This was something that his father had bestowed upon him when he was born.
The two older brothers were both high-ranking officials of the imperial court, intelligent and capable. However, this fellow was the same as the Xiang Yun of the past, proficient in both eating, drinking, and s.e.x, apart from reading, writing, and cultivating in martial arts.However, when this fellow was born and heard about the auspicious sign from the heavens, his father, Niu Feihu, thought that he was destined to be this third son of his.
First, he gave Fatty Niu a coquettish name, "Niu Yaotian!" Then he even gave his son the sword and knife that he had been worshiped in the ancestral hall.
When he heard that Fatty Niu was wearing a pair of open crotch pants, he was holding a bird in his mouth and swinging his sword from left to right across the streets of Dragon City.
Although the latter"s growth trajectory was completely out of the Ox Family"s expectations, the sword and saber were not retracted, and Fatty Niu still wore it every day.
This fellow often boasted to others, "Don"t provoke me. Let me tell you, I, Niu Yaotian, am able to rule the world with just my blade and sword. I can unsheathe my sword with no sunlight or moonlight!"
However, the truth of his words could not be completely denied. This was because since young, regardless of whether he fought on the streets or engaged in official martial arts compet.i.tions, this fellow had never drawn his sword.
It wasn"t that he didn"t want to. Every time they fought, he would be knocked down before he could even draw his sword.
Therefore, ever since he was young, Fatty Niu"s sword and sabre had never left its sheath. Xiang Yun suspected that this sabre and sword had already rusted.
After all, this was something pa.s.sed down in the Niu Family. If he lost it, his father, the head of the Board of Justice, would probably be able to skin Fatty Niu alive!Hearing Xiang Yun"s question about his sabre and sword, Fatty Niu"s head drooped down as he looked left and right, looking like a guilty thief. He then raised his head and begged once more.
"Boss, my good brother, let"s not talk about swords and sabers. Just follow me to take care of those b.a.s.t.a.r.ds. They even dare to beat up your brother, this is completely against the law!"Xiang Yun saw Fatty Ox"s guilty conscience and knew that this kid had something to hide from him. First, he shook his hand away from Fatty Ox and pulled his hand, then he spoke to Fatty Ox with a cold expression.
"You d.a.m.n fatty, there must be something that you"re hiding from me. If you don"t clarify it, then don"t think that I"ll help you!"
Fatty Niu"s face immediately revealed a pained expression. He said in a sorrowful tone, "Brother, if you just stand there and watch, then I, your brother, will really die. Can you bear to watch your good brother die just like that?"
Seeing this, Xiang Yun waved his hand, saying, "You have to die a little longer, ah. Don"t die in my courtyard. When the time comes, no one will be able to carry you.""Uh …" Fatty Niu did not expect Xiang Yun to still be unwilling to help him. He scrunched his fat face up and pounced towards Xiang Yun"s thigh again.
"Ox Fatty, if you dare to touch me, I"ll immediately close the door and thank the guests!"
Hearing that, the fat cow suddenly stopped, the expression on his face was clearly wronged. He stammered, "Boss, we are sworn brothers who cut off chickens" heads and burn yellow paper. Are you really going to ignore me?"
"Tell me exactly what happened, or I"ll ask you to leave." Xiang Yun did not move at all.
Seeing Xiang Yun"s resolute att.i.tude, Fatty Niu could no longer hide it. He could only behave himself and pour out the information like a bean.
So it turned out that this fellow had been looking for Xiang Yun for the past few days. However, seeing that the latter had been keeping his mouth shut, he began strolling around Qin Feng"s city.He often visited the gambling houses in the city and occasionally ran to brothels. When he woke up early in the morning, the first thing he did was to go to a new gambling house in the city.
As he walked into the gambling den, he realized that the business here was quite good. There were many people who came to gamble.
As for the latter, the extent of her liking for gambling was not much different from when Xiang Yun liked strolling in the brothels. As soon as she entered the gambling house, her hands began to itch.
This time, Fatty Niu was feeling proud, thinking that he had really hit the jackpot. He had played all the games he could in the gambling house, including the Six Bots, the Latte, the Playing Field, the Chess, the Saddle, the Mahjong, the p.a.w.nbroker, the Flower Society, and the word treasure.
Fatty Niu had won the bet all the way to the afternoon. He had won almost every gamble and had won almost every million taels of silver.
This made Fatty Niu extremely happy. Just as he was about to continue sweeping through the gambling den. Suddenly, three people from the gambling den came to find Fatty Niu, saying that they wanted to bet against him because they saw that he had good gambling skills.
At that time, the fat cow could be said to be enjoying his horse"s hoof disease. Naturally, he did not reject them; he only thought that a fat sheep had come to his doorstep. Without a doubt, he had decided to gamble with these three people.In the end, after several rounds of gambling, Fatty Niu was still unstoppable. He had actually won more than one million silver taels from these people. His eyes were red with envy. He believed that he was going to make a fortune today.
However, what he did not expect was that in the following gambling house, Fatty Niu seemed to have used up all his luck. The more he bet, the more he lost. In less than two hours, he had lost all his money!
It wasn"t that Fatty Niu had never thought of letting go of the bet, but as a gambler, he had the mindset of wanting to make a comeback.
Furthermore, the millions of silver taels already belonged to him. Now that he had spat it out again, how could the fat oxen be willing to give it up? He immediately continued to gamble with those people.
The result was obvious even without thinking about it. Fatty Niu had even lost all his million silver taels that he had on him.
At this moment, Fatty Niu no longer had a bet, so the other party just said forget it. Fatty Niu no longer had a bet, and the other party just said that he no longer had a bet, so how could he still bet?
Fatty Niu was worried, so he simply slammed his Saber and Saber onto the table and shouted, "I"ll bet these two items!"
In the end, Fatty Niu had not only lost his sabre and sword to the other party, he had also lost the yellow vest given to him by the late emperor!It was only after this defeat that the fatty realized the seriousness of the situation.
If his father, the head of the Board of Justice, were to find out that he had lost such an important thing, wouldn"t he be brought to the Board of Justice and used to torture the Empire of Feng Yun?
Fatty Niu was so scared that he quickly found those people. He wanted to retrieve his sabre and sword, as well as his yellow vest.Naturally, the other party did not give it to him. The fat cow immediately became anxious, jumping up to grab it, even beating him up. In the end, he was pressed down on the ground and beaten up; even his clothes were torn.
It was a good thing that this fellow"s skin was rough and thick. Even if he was ganged up on, he would only have a few bruises on his body, which was not a serious problem.
Then, the fat cow ran out of the gambling house in his shorts and headed straight for the crown prince"s residence. He wanted Xiang Yun to save him!
