Chapter 1008: Hero Chapter 1008: Hero Editor: Atlas Studios After fooling around in the Foreignersâ Chamber of Commerce, the four little ones felt much better.
Looking at the lively streets outside, they suddenly didnât want to go home.
So Little An suggested, âLetâs go shopping.â Tiger Head subconsciously touched his pocket and realized that he didnât bring any money.
He looked at them anxiously.
âI didnât bring any money.â Little An and Little Lion didnât bring any money either.
It hadnât occurred to them that they were going to shop today, so they naturally wouldnât specially bring money.
The Second Prince also searched his pockets.
Then, he realized that there were no pockets on his clothes.
However, he had brought a pouch with him.
Upon opening it, he saw that there were two silver nuggets inside.
The three of them cheered up.
âLetâs go buy food!â The four of them went shopping happily.
The guards followed closely behind and did not stop them.
However, as soon as Tiger Head picked up the food, someone would stop them or snatch the food in his hand.
When Tiger Head glared at them, the guards explained, âSince your injuries havenât healed yet, you shouldnât eat anything outside.â Then what was the point of him shopping?
Tiger Head had a bitter expression on his face when a carriage stopped beside him.
Fan Zijin lifted the curtain and glanced at the four children, focusing on the things in their hands.
Only when the children had no choice but to hand the snacks to the guards behind them regretfully did he say, âCome on up.
Iâll bring you to pick up your father and Fourth Uncle.â The four childrenâs eyes lit up as they climbed onto the carriage.
Tiger Head said excitedly, âMy father has returned triumphantly?â Fan Zijin nodded.
âHe captured Pedro alive and wiped out all the pirates in the territorial waters of Guangdong.
Not only the navy and government offices, but even the citizens in the city will come to the port to welcome him.â The four little ones looked outside and saw that everyone was indeed walking out of the city.
They all became excited.
âWhat about my big brother and the others?â âThey went back to the residence to pick you up.
Who knew that you would go to the Westerner Club?â Fan Zijin glanced at their excited expressions and asked, âDid you go to torment Joao and Jose today?â Little An quickly clarified, âNo, we went to visit them.
We even brought a bottle of medicinal wine for them.â Fan Zijin snorted coldly in disbelief.
However, as long as the children didnât suffer a loss, he would not ask further.
The four little ones heaved a sigh of relief.
After all, the adults often taught them to be gentlemanly.
If they knew that they had narrow-mindedly tortured Joao and Jose, they would definitely scold them.
After Qi Haoran eliminated yet another group of pirates, the people of Guangzhou celebrated and gathered by the seaside to watch.
Some people specially prepared rotten vegetables to hurl at the criminals, while others who hadnât prepared anything simply grabbed small stones by the roadside.
The four little ones jumped off the carriage and exclaimed when they saw the dense crowd by the sea, âIsnât this way too crowded?â Little Bear and Little Treasure squeezed to the four of them and couldnât help but pinch their ears.
âYou guys made us run home for nothing.
I thought you wouldnât be able to make it in time for Fatherâs triumphant return.â Fan Zijin frowned at the sight of so many people.
He went to two governors and said, âThere are too many people.
To prevent any incidents, get all the bailiffs from the government office to come here to maintain order.
Donât let the commoners be squeezed into the sea.
Make sure to prevent a crowd crush.â The two governors agreed and left with solemn expressions.
Little Bear said excitedly, âThere are also citizens who rushed over from the countryside below.
They all heard that Father had annihilated the pirates in this area and specially came to celebrate.â Little Treasure was also beaming with joy.
âFourth Uncle is amazing.
Many people said that they wanted to erect longevity memorial tablets for Fourth Uncle and Royal Father.â The four little ones were also excited.
As they were shorter, after jumping twice, they realized that they still couldnât see whatâs ahead.
So, they asked the guards to place them on their shoulders so that they could watch while seated.
Little Bear and Little Treasure were extremely envious, but they were well aware that they had already grown up and refused to sit on a guardâs shoulder.
Little Treasure looked around and pointed at a relatively tall rock by the sea.
âLittle Bear, can you move that over?â Little Bear gestured and nodded happily.
âYes.â After saying that, he happily jumped over and picked up the big rock to place it where they were standing.
The two of them then stood on it and watched.
The foreigners who had also come to watch widened their eyes and opened their mouths wide.
They looked at the big rock in disbelief and then at Little Bear.
Equally stunned, Andre swallowed and said to his attendant, Paul, âDidnât they say that Princess Consort Rongâs situation is a special case?
How can her son be so strong, too, at such a young age?â Paul hesitated.
âPerhaps itâs hereditary?â Andre looked at the children with a complicated expression and asked, âDid only one kid inherit this trait, or did all of them inherited the trait?
How many other such cases are there in Great Qi?â Ashamed, Paul said, âIâm sorry, my lord.
I canât give an answer yet.â Andre shook his head slightly and said, âI heard from Princess Consort Rong that sheâs far inferior to Prince Rong.
I heard that Prince Rong is so powerful because of his impressive martial arts skills.
Strength is innate, while martial arts is acquired.
If Great Qi has such powerful acquired knowledge, our goal will never be realized.
Paul, we have to investigate more.â âBut my lord, in the past, Great Zhou and Great Qi were very weak.
Just 40 to 50 pirates were enough to defeat their soldiers.â âBut have you seen the soldiers of Great Qi lose in the past two years?â Andreâs voice was almost inaudible.
âThe Great Qi soldiers have never lost in these two years, and most of the pirates on the island have been eliminated.
Perhaps what they said is true.
In the past, Great Qi had always lost not because they were incompetent, but because we bribed their officials.â Andreâs eyes lit up as if he had found another way.
âMaybe we can give that a shot again.â âBut Prince Rong is very harsh on corrupt officials.
Itâs said that as long as they are caught, the entire family will be implicated.â Andre lowered his eyes and didnât speak.
Hearing the cheers that resounded through the sky, he looked up and saw an armor-clad Qi Haoran alighting from the ship.
Behind him was a team of soldiers escorting his old acquaintance, Pedro.
Qi Haoran walked down with a cold expression and looked straight ahead.
As his gaze swept across the crowd, he saw six especially tall and excited children.
Holding back his glare, he strode towards Fan Zijin.
Fan Zijin looked at him with a smile and said in a low voice, âWalk Pedro all the way back to the prefectural capital?
Let the citizens have some fun too.â The corners of Qi Haoranâs eyes twitched.
âIâm afraid heâll be smashed to death before he reaches the city gate.
Letâs just put him in the prisonerâs carriage and take him away.
Seeing such a huge crowd, I worry that accidents may happen.
Tell the bailiffs to evacuate the crowd quickly.â Just as Qi Haoran was about to turn around and bring the children back, he saw the person standing on the rock behind him from the corner of his eye.
His eyes widened and he looked over in disbelief.
Mu Yangling, who was dressed as a man, was grinning at him, showing her white teeth!
In spite of the warmth flooding his heart, Qi Haoran muttered, âFooling around!â âWhat?â Fan Zijin turned his head and followed his gaze.
Only seeing a sea of heads, he asked, âWhat are you looking at?â Qi Haoran retracted his gaze and said, âNothing.â Fan Zijin held him back.
âYou have to parade through the streets on horseback; you canât just rush back like this.
Iâll watch the children, and you just need to play your part as the hero.â Had it been 15 minutes earlier, Qi Haoran would certainly have disdained such a task, but now he didnât object.
Instead, he walked forward with his head held high and chest out, mounted his horse with a graceful move, and led his troops to mount up and march into the city in formation.
Fan Zijin widened his eyes and looked at the place where Qi Haoran was looking at just now.
Heâd thought that he would have to spend some effort persuading him.
Why was this kid suddenly so sensible?
Standing on the rock, Mu Yangling looked excitedly at Qi Haoran, who was riding a horse on the streets.
She wished she could announce to the world that that handsome young general was her husband!
