Kang Ying followed her shop companion to the backyard. Seeing the quiet environment, she was very satisfied.
The shop assistant invited Kang Ying to the guest room and said with a smile,""If Young Lady has any needs, please do not hesitate to instruct.”Kang Ying handed the five bags of herbs to the shop assistant and instructed,"These five portions of medicinal ingredients, boil one portion for me every morning.”The shop assistant took the herbs and left when Kang Ying didn't give any more instructions.
During these five days, Kang Ying didn't leave the guest room at all. She just recuperated from her injuries and had her three meals delivered by the shop assistant. When she was free, she would cultivate her True Qi to kill time.
Five days later, Kang Ying's injuries finally healed. She recalled how she had almost lost her life that day, and she was furious. She gritted her teeth and said,"Hmph, this matter won't be settled so easily. You actually want to kill me! Watch how this grandaunt will deal with you!" However, she didn't know that the group of bandits who betrayed the Illuminati had been cleaned up by Leng Hongying.
Kang Ying, who was furious and uneasy, felt a wave of frustration and went out of the inn to relax.
As Kang Ying strolled along the streets of the city, she was thinking hard about how she could take revenge on Xin Longtian and the others. However, she accidentally saw a red door covered with nails in the distance. On the door, the words "Yamen" were written."I once heard people say that there is a place called the Yamen in the territory of Da Duo, which is dedicated to seeking justice for everyone. Even if they owed money and didn't pay it back, murder cases, or forced possession of property, they could go to the yamen to seek justice. Xin Longtian, that evil thief, treated me like this. The yamen won't ignore him, right?”Thinking of this, Kang Ying was overjoyed and quickly ran to the yamen.
Kang Ying arrived outside the yamen in a short while. She saw a big drum with the words " Wailing Injustice Drum " on the wooden frame at the door. There was a pair of drumsticks hanging beside the big drum, so she picked up the drumstick and hit it hard. A moment later, a bailiff came out.
The bailiff sized up Kang Ying with his small eyes for a moment, then stretched out his hand and said,"According to the rules, first pay ten taels of silver to ascend the hall.”
Kang Ying thought to herself, Do I have to pay some money to report to the officials? I don't know." He took out a silver ingot and handed it to the bailiff.
The bailiff took the silver ingot and weighed it in his hand. It was indeed ten taels of silver. He said to Kang Ying,"Wait here." He closed the door.
After a while, the yamen's door opened. The bailiff returned and invited Kang Ying in.
Kang Ying followed the bailiff through the courtyard and arrived at the main hall. He saw the fat magistrate sitting in the hall absent-mindedly. Ten servants each held a staff and stood on both sides of the hall absent-mindedly.
The bailiff named Kang Ying who was leading the way stood in the hall and said respectfully to the magistrate,"Milord, the commoner who beat the Wronging Drum has arrived.”
Kang Ying saw the bailiff standing still and followed behind him. She was curiously looking around the hall.
When the magistrate saw that Kang Ying didn't kneel, he frowned and shouted,"How dare you! Why don't you kneel when you see me?”
The bailiff who led the way turned around and saw Kang Ying standing brazenly behind him without kneeling. He quickly pushed Kang Ying away and said angrily,"You little girl, you actually don't know your manners. Why don't you kneel when you see the magistrate? Do you still have any law in your heart?”
Kang Ying had just recovered from her injuries, and she did not expect the bailiff to suddenly push her so hard that she staggered.
As the princess of the Grass Cloud Tribe, Kang Ying had always been protected by everyone since she was young. Even though she had been severely punished by the Tribal Chief, she had never been treated so rudely by others.
At this moment, she was careless and was actually pushed a few steps back by the servant who was just a gatekeeper in Kang Ying's heart. She almost made a fool of herself on the spot. She was instantly furious and said angrily,"Why did you push me? How dare you!"
When the other servants saw this, they felt that Kang Ying's actions were unexpected and interesting. A few bailiffs even laughed out loud.
The fat-headed magistrate laughed when he heard this, causing the hall to lose all its dignity. The magistrate was very angry, and he only said that it was all because Kang Ying looked down on her that he lost his official prestige.
His fat face was ashen with anger. He suddenly grabbed a black-headed token and threw it heavily in the hall. He shouted,"Come on, teach this unruly girl a lesson!”
The token on the magistrate's table was very knowledgeable.
There were three colors at the top of the token, red, black, and white. If the magistrate threw out a white-headed token, then the soap-slaves would beat the person with a stick, and the person would be unharmed. If the magistrate had thrown a red-headed token, the person who was beaten would have been beaten to death. If the magistrate threw out a black-headed token, the person would have to stay in bed for ten days to half a month before he could recover.
When the magistrate threw the token, he looked majestic. As soon as the token landed on the ground, two of the servants standing on both sides waved their staffs at Kang Ying's legs, wanting to make her kneel on the ground.
If it was an ordinary person, they would have to kneel down to receive this punishment. However, Kang Ying was not an ordinary person. She had cultivated the Universal Earth True Force to become a Five-star Martial Master.
When the Tingzhang struck, the True Energy of Universe and Earth in Kang Ying's body naturally protected her. The yellow True Energy of Universe Earth flashed and disappeared, blocking the heavy strikes of the two servants.
Those two servants were just ordinary people, how could they compare to a Five Point Martial Master? Moreover, Kang Ying's pentagram True Force was known for its defense.
When the two servants waved their staffs and hit Kang Ying's legs, they felt as if they were hitting a huge rock on the wall. Their hands went numb from the impact. They could no longer hold on to the staffs and fell to the ground with a clang.
At this moment, Kang Ying finally came back to her senses."So this pig-faced guy threw out the wooden card to order people to hit me!”He was furious.
In a fit of rage, Kang Ying used Soaring Lu Roaming. Light yellow True Force gathered under her feet, and she quickly moved to the front of the table. Then, she stretched out and grabbed the magistrate's collar, pulling him in front of her and shouted,"You fat pig! I gave you a silver ingot, and you want me to kneel to you? You still want to hit me? Ah?"
Kang Ying was small and short, so when she pulled the magistrate, she had to raise her feet high. Although the magistrate in her hand was more than twice as big, he did not dare to resist Kang Ying.
When the magistrate saw Kang Ying's pale yellow True Qi glow, he knew that he had provoked a jinx."Oh my god, this girl is actually a Universe Earth Martial Master? Why did you, a Five-star Martial Master, come to my yamen? If there's anything, go to your Illuminati. Aren't you deliberately teasing me?”" Please spare my life!" She immediately begged Kang Ying." I…I was blind. I…I…"
At that time, the Taoist masters, martial masters, and other powerful people had long ignored the government yamen. Even if ordinary people encountered injustice, they would definitely seek help from the Light Branch established in the towns of Da Duo. Why would they come to the yamen to seek justice?
It was just that it was Kang Ying's first time in Da Duo and she knew nothing about common sense. That was why she went to the government to seek light.
Hearing the magistrate beg for mercy, Kang Ying felt extremely pleased. Hence, she exerted strength in her hand and pushed him back into the armchair. She then slapped the table in the hall and left a palm print on the table made of purple ironwood.
When the magistrate saw Kang Ying's display of martial arts, he thought to himself,"My mother, if she had attacked me with this palm, I would have lost my life. Even if she didn't hit my vital points and only broke my limbs, that would be terrible.”Although he wanted to shout," Grandpas of the Illuminati, please come and save me and persuade this little fiend to leave ", the magistrate was already scared out of his wits and could not move. How could he call for help?
Just as the magistrate was letting his imagination run wild, Kang Ying said angrily,"Fat pig! You are not allowed to call me your aunt. Then, quickly send someone to the City of Dawn to capture a thief named Xin Longtian. This thief is bullying the weak and actually wants to take my life. This is a murder case. Hurry up and catch him and kill him, do you hear me?”
When the magistrate heard that Kang Ying had ordered him to go to the City of Dawn to capture a thief who was even more vicious than her, he immediately became timid. Moreover, he had never heard of the City of Dawn and did not know where it was. He could only say, Lady, lady, there is no place called the City of Dawn in Da Duo. I, I…""I think you look like a thief. You're so fierce. I think Xin Longtian must have been forced into a corner by you and wanted to kill you. In my opinion, Xin Longtian is a good person, but his abilities are slightly weaker. Otherwise, how could a little fiend like you escape?”
Kang Ying heard the magistrate claim that he did not know the location of the City of Dawn and that he was deliberately evading. She was immediately dissatisfied and said angrily,""I don't care if there is a City of Dawn in Da Duo or not. If I don't see Xin Longtian's head in a month, I will rip your head off!”Without waiting for the magistrate to reply, he left the yamen.
When Kang Ying passed by the government office, she saw the Wronging Drum and was furious. She used her True Qi and punched towards the Wronging Drum. With a loud bang, the huge Wronging Drum was broken by Kang Ying's punch.
A middle-aged businessman who happened to be passing by saw Kang Ying breaking the drum with one punch. His eyes lit up and he quickly rushed to Kang Ying's side. He asked respectfully,"Little girl, why are you making such a big fuss?”
Kang Ying was still fuming. When she heard the voice, she raised her head and saw a well-dressed middle-aged man. She scolded,"None of your business!"
The middle-aged man didn't mind. He smiled and said,""My surname is Hu, and my humble name is Dashan. If you encounter any difficulties, feel free to tell me. Perhaps I can help you.”
Hearing this, Kang Ying glanced at the merchant she didn't know and asked suspiciously,""Why are you helping me?"
Hu Dashan chuckled and said,"Hehe, actually, I have my own selfish motives for helping you."”
When Kang Ying heard this, she immediately turned around and left, ignoring him.
Seeing this, Hu Dashan hurriedly chased after him and said with a drooling face,""Miss, please wait. Firstly, a young girl like you must have many inconveniences when you walk outside. Think about it, food, drink, accommodation, which one doesn't cost money? How about this, young lady, you come home with me, once you come…"
When Kang Ying heard this, she only knew that Hu Dashan harbored ulterior motives. She immediately stopped and said,""What do you want to do to me?"
Hu Dashan broke out in a cold sweat when he heard Kang Ying's strange tone. He stammered," G-Young Lady, don't be suspicious. I, this lowly one, admire Young Lady's ability very much. I only hope that Young Lady, Young Lady can take up the position of guard in my manor and help me escort the goods. Since Young Lady is unwilling, then, then…"
Hearing this, Kang Ying let down her guard and thought,"There is indeed a lot of gold and silver used for food, accommodation, and travel. Although I don't lack silver now, I will spend it all in a few days. This uncle's idea was not bad. First, he had a place to stay. Then, he had food, drink, and accommodation. Secondly, he could take the opportunity to get some gold and silver from him. There was food, accommodation, and money. Moreover, the Dharmakaya Bandits were not the Five Star Bandits of the City of Dawn. They were just ordinary people. They were harmless to me. This was a good deal.”"Guards?" Kang Ying asked. Alright." He thought to himself,"For now, I'll be your guard. In the future, I'll take over your residence and teach you how powerful I am."”
When Hu Dashan saw Kang Ying's angry face and thought that she was unwilling to be hired, he no longer had any hope in his heart. Who knew that Kang Ying would suddenly change her mind? The ecstasy in his heart was indescribable.
It turned out that every time Hu Dashan transported goods, he would go to the Illuminati to hire a dozen escorts, and the escort fee would cost ten taels of silver.
Hu Dashan was thrifty, so every time he hired a strong ordinary person, he did not hire a Five-star Martial Master, who was several times more expensive. This way, if he encountered a small group of thieves, he would be safe. However, if he encountered a large group of bandits or bandits with profound martial arts, he was afraid that he would not be able to make up for it.
Hu Dashan had just passed by the government office when he accidentally saw Kang Ying walking out of the government office. She was furious as she used her Earth True Force to vent her anger on the Wronging Drum beside the government office.
When he saw Kang Ying go to the government office as a martial master, he knew that Kang Ying had no experience in the martial world. He immediately had a plan.
As expected, after his words, he obtained a low-paid Universe Earth Martial Master as his guard.
Hu Dashan heard Kang Ying agree and immediately settled the matter. He said,""Since Young Lady has already agreed, you cannot go back on your word in the future.”
Kang Ying thought for a moment and said,"That depends on the food and accommodation. Oh right, I also want to see how much pocket money you give me."”In her heart, to be able to eat and drink to her heart's content and have money to spend was already equivalent to the value of the bounty hunters in the grasslands. Moreover, since she had the intention to take over Hu Dashan's family business, she was even more disdainful about the matter of remuneration.
When Hu Dashan heard that Kang Ying only wanted to eat and drink, as well as some "pocket money", he naturally agreed,""Of course, I guarantee that Young Lady Jiao will be satisfied. Young Lady can call me Uncle Hu, but how should I address Young Lady?”
"My name is Kang Ying." I did agree to be your guard, but if you were just saying nice things, but in the end, you gave me perfunctory treatment and only gave me grass roots and tree bark to eat, I would turn around and leave.”
Kang Ying was born on the grasslands. If she was unlucky enough to encounter a locust plague, it would be a disaster for the entire tribe. It was already a great fortune to be able to survive such an insect disaster. How could there be any fat, fruits, and vegetables to eat? Therefore, before the disaster, the grassland people could only eat grass roots and tree bark.
When Kang Ying was four years old, the Grass Cloud Tribe had encountered a locust plague. The endless swarm of locusts that covered the sky and covered the earth swept past. Not only did the cows and sheep turn into bones, but even the people in the tribe suffered heavy casualties.
Fortunately, there were people in the tribe who comprehended the Five-star True Force, which allowed them to survive. After that, Grass Cloud Tribe got the help of Wind Castle and was able to overcome the crisis.
During that period of time, everyone in the tribe ate grass roots and bark. The miserable days had long been deeply imprinted in Kang Ying's young heart.
Hu Dashan saw that Kang Ying had only suggested that they should not eat grass roots and bark as food, so he patted his chest and swore an oath. He immediately took Kang Ying back to the caravan.
On the way back to the caravan, Kang Ying learned that Hu Dashan was a wealthy businessman in South Valley City. He had come to Broken Mountain Town this time to purchase goods and specialties, and then transport them back to South Valley City for sale.
Broken Mountain Town was close to the border, and there were merchants in the town who came out to buy goods. Hu Dashan's purpose for this trip was to buy local specialties from the merchants in the town and then transport them back to his hometown to resell them to earn the price difference. Hu Dashan had a mansion in Heping Town on the outskirts of South Valley City. Not only were there many houses in the mansion, but there was also a vast garden.
In a short while, Hu Kang and his companion arrived at the resting place of the caravan. After packing up, Hu Dashan ordered the caravan to set off and return to South Valley City.
The coachman in the caravan was puzzled when he saw that Hu Dashan, the shopkeeper, had gone to hire an escort but only brought back a girl. He then ordered everyone to set off.
"Shopkeeper Hu, didn't you go to the Illuminati to hire an escort?" someone asked Hu Dashan. Why are we setting off before the escort arrives?”
Hearing this, Hu Dashan said to everyone with a smile," From now on, we don't need to hire escorts anymore."
Seeing Shopkeeper Hu being so arrogant, everyone felt that Hu Dashan was taking too much of a risk. After all, the world was not peaceful now. However, he was the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper insisted on doing so. As a servant, it was inconvenient for him to say anything. Secondly, even if they encountered bandits, the bandits would usually not make things difficult for the coachman.
The coachmen thought through this and began to load the carriage and set off on their journey home.
