I Own a Garden with One Hundred Herbs - Chapter 24

Chapter 24: Benefitting from the Tussle as the Third Party

The strength from grabbing her arm made her grimace in pain.

However, what was very metaphysical was that she realized that the person who arrested him was the guy who went to the Golden Elephant Medical Hall to invite Doctor Lu last time. Why was he with the people from the Ju Peng Tavern?

She thought quickly and came to a bold conclusion.

The noble of the Yan Capital was a glutton and a sick person at the same time. He had to eat and seek treatment.

When the wolf cub saw that its mother had fallen into the hands of a thief, it jumped up without hesitation and pounced fiercely.

The man in black reacted quickly and shouted “beast”, blocking the wolf cub.

The wolf cub fell to the ground, foaming at the mouth. It was obvious that it was seriously injured.

All of this happened in an instant. When she thought about how her Little Fu Bao had been beaten up by evil people one after another, her eyes turned red. A power burst out from somewhere and she broke free from the man, blocking in front of the wolf cub.

The fist that was about to land stopped.

“Stop!” Bai Caoshi’s eyes shone brightly, but she was angry. “You’re so rude. You’re arresting people on the street for no reason. You don’t care about maintaining the distance between men and women. You even injured my beloved pet. What’s the logic?”

The man’s pupils constricted. He had clearly felt a huge crisis just now. He looked at the little guy on the ground. “Miss said this is your beloved pet? This is clearly…”

“It’s my beloved pet, loyal to the master!” Bai Caoshi interrupted him. She believed that this person had definitely recognized that it was a wolf, and he could not say it out loud.

At this moment, Feng Zhenye from the Ju Peng Tavern stepped forward and bowed. “Lord Chen, Miss, it’s a misunderstanding. This is a complete misunderstanding. Lord Chen and I are here to invite Miss…”

He saw the woman who had been righteous just now standing back with her beloved pet. From that angle, it was as if she was standing behind Chen Guangliang.

Because the hooligans had already caught up.

As for Bai Caoshi, she was a fox borrowing the might of a tiger.

In the past few days, everyone in town had seen the man in black. They either rode their horses or searched for people along the streets. Wherever they went, people would avoid them. They were existences that could not be offended. The hooligans were well-informed and naturally knew that they should give up.

However, Bai Caoshi did not want people who hurt Fu Bao to get away scot-free. She swaggered away and suddenly shouted, “You expect the nobles of the Yan Capital to pay a protection fee. You guys are so impressive!”

Chen Guangliang: “…”

Hooligans: “…”

Everyone’s gazes gathered on Bai Caoshi.

It would be a lie to say that she was not nervous. She gulped and said, “I set up a stall to sell at the market today. These people want to collect protection fees from me. I said that my family is poor and living a difficult life, so I begged them to let me go. However, the leader said, ‘This is my territory. Even if the nobles of the Yan Capital come, I will still collect them.’ Now that the nobles are standing in front of you, you should collect them.”

The hooligan was dumbfounded. When had he ever said such nonsense? “I’ll talk, I’ll talk to you…”

Nonsense!

However, Chen Guangliang did not give him a chance. He pulled out his treasured saber from under his waist and swung it. The four hooligans were sent flying far away. “Get lost!”

Over the past few days, Chen Guangliang had been under immense pressure to find Bai Caoshi. It was not easy for him to see her. He just wanted to bring her to his master immediately and report to the higher-ups. Anyone who blocked him would be kicked away mercilessly.

Bai Caoshi was dumbfounded.

Was this the martial arts of this world? In the past, she had only seen super-powerful martial arts in novels and movies. Today, she finally saw it.

She was still arguing just now. Would she be able to see the sun tomorrow?

Pui pui pui, what are you letting one’s imagination run wild for? Shopkeeper Feng said that they were here to invite her, to invite Bai Caoshi.

Chen Guangliang turned around and said to Bai Caoshi expressionlessly, “Miss, can you leave with me now?”

Her eyes darted around. “Can I bring… my beloved pet?”
