Chapter 70 The capital has settled down

More than 20 servants smiled grimly and rushed towards Gao Shixin. Unexpectedly, Yuan Yue'er suddenly rushed back and was holding Zhang Shidi's servants before she understood what was going on.

A sharp short knife suddenly appeared in Yuan Yue'er's sleeve and placed it on Zhang Shidi's neck. She shouted softly: "Who dares to come up? If anyone dares to come up, I will kill this kid!"

"Wow—" Zhang Shidi opened his mouth and cried loudly.

"Yue'er! You'll let Mr. Zhang go! If you have anything to do, I'll tell you!" Yuan Hongjun was frightened by his daughter's knife against Zhang Shidi's neck. If this little scholar really died here, he wouldn't be able to take it.

"Miss Yuan, don't kill me, I will break the engagement, I will break the engagement." Zhang Shidi cried and begged for mercy.

Zhang Shidi's appearance made Yuan Yue'er look down on him: "Cry, what else can you do besides crying? When the Tartars come, can you cry and make the Tartars cry away?"

There is only one thing that Yuan Yue'er could not think of at all. Of course, crying could not make the Tartars cry away, but literati could cry and beg for the Tartars to surrender themselves, and could cry and beg for the Tartars to be slaves.

When Yuan Yue'er yelled, Zhang Shidi cried even harder, just like a child who was beaten and scolded by his parents for doing something wrong.

"Why are you crying? Listen, hurry up and tell my father that you want to break off the engagement!" Yuan Yue'er shouted.

Zhang Shidi quickly shouted, "My father-in-law..." He felt the blade tightening a little bit on his neck, and felt a trace of blood oozing out of his neck. He was so scared that he quickly changed his words: "Yuan Qianhu, I'm sorry, this married nephew will no longer get married, break the engagement."

"Dad, did you hear that? Mr. Zhang himself wanted to break the engagement. I can't blame my daughter for not getting married!" Yuan Yue'er smiled slightly. After saying that, she let Zhang Shidi go.

Unpredictably, he was let go. Zhang Shi did not stand firm at the first time and staggered and fell down. Then he got up and ran away.

A group of slaves surrounded him and the leader asked, "Young Master, are you okay?"

"What's okay?" Zhang Shidi howled, "Young Master has lost all his face! You still have to say it's okay? But it's okay, but it's okay, but I haven't married this tigress! Otherwise, life will be difficult in the future! But the little brat who makes me embarrassed, I will definitely not let him go!"

Yuan Hongjun, who originally planned to marry his daughter, stood still. The marriage must have been ruined. The groom was scared away and even said to leave the marriage. His daughter was famous for doing this. It is estimated that within ten miles, it will spread soon. No one will dare to come to propose marriage for at least three years. No one dares to provoke a tigress? No matter how beautiful he is, he dares to provoke a tigress. What's more, Yuan Hongjun thinks that his daughter is not very beautiful, at least he is too tall, which is a disadvantage.

Seeing that Gao Shixin had knocked over more than 20 servants to the ground, Yuan Hongjun pointed at Gao Shixin and shouted: "Boy! Don't think that if you broke up my daughter's marriage, my daughter would have to marry you! Tell you, don't think about it! Even if I raise my daughter for the rest of my life, you don't want to marry my daughter!"

Seeing that Gao Shixin was still standing there, Yuan Yue'er shouted anxiously: "Brother Shixin, please leave quickly! Otherwise, that Young Master Zhang would come to cause trouble for you!"

"Yue'er, I'm leaving, what should you do?"

"I'm fine, at most I'm confined to my father. You can leave quickly. When you have a future, come and propose marriage to my father!"

"Miss Yue'er, wait for me for a year. In a year, I will definitely come to propose marriage!" Gao Shixin turned around and ran towards his big dark horse. He leaped his horse and drove the war horse toward the capital.

"Hmph! Even if you become a general, even if you are a Duke, you don't want to marry my husband's daughter! I would rather send my daughter to be a nun than marry you!" Yuan Hongjun sneered.

In fact, Yuan Hongjun knew that this incident had become a big deal and his daughter's reputation was also bad. I'm afraid no one would dare to come to propose marriage again. But he was annoyed, and of course he could not agree to his daughter's marriage with this kid.

Gao Shi also knew in his confidence that although Yuan Qianhu was in a hot spot, it would never be possible to marry his daughter to himself, but it was enough to ruin this arranged marriage. Moreover, Yuan Yue'er also performed a wonderful martial arts scene in person. I'm afraid no one dared to propose marriage to Yuan Qianhu's house. Who else can she marry if she doesn't marry herself in the future?

Gao Shixin rushed straight to the capital. When he arrived at the capital, the gate had been closed, so he naturally could not enter the city.

However, at this time, many houses had been built outside the outer city. In ancient times, residents lived in the city wall at first; later as the population grew, people built houses and commercial areas outside the city wall, and then the government built the outer city outside the city wall. However, the capital city has been 217 years since Chengzu. With the increase of population, some people settled outside the outer city, built houses and shops, so there were also houses outside the outer city.

These places also have inns, restaurants and other facilities. Gao Shixin found an inn and moved in. He just waited for the morning tomorrow morning and the city gate opened and entered the city.

Before dawn, Gao Shixin checked the room and walked outside Guangqu Gate. He saw that there were already long queues at the gate of the city. Farmers who were rushing to the market, merchants who were transporting goods into the city, and fishmongers who were transporting fish and shrimp into the city were all lined up at the gate to open the door.

At the third hour of Yin, it was equivalent to four-thirty in the morning of the later generations. The morning bell in the capital rang, and the city gate slowly opened. A group of soldiers walked out of the city, lined up at the city gate, waiting to inspect the road and collect the city gate tax. This was the time when the number of people entering the city was the most. A few soldiers were definitely not enough, and more soldiers needed to be arranged to inspect.

The people who entered the city lined up to enter the city, and Gao Shixin was also in the queue. After a while, he lined up. He showed his waist sign. The soldiers at the door glanced at him and asked, "Sir, that's so early?"

"I came late last night. The city gate was closed. I stayed outside the city for one night and entered the city early this morning." Gao Shixin replied.

"Okay, go in." The soldier had no respectful expression on his face.

Gao Shixin knew that these soldiers in the Beijing camp were all the children of nobles and officers who had been hereditary from generation to generation. They looked brightly dressed and angry horses on weekdays, but they were actually decayed. He walked past a soldier and saw that although he was wearing a brightly colored battle jacket and his armor looked very new, it could be seen that the armor on the soldier was obviously not iron or leather, and the cotton one was actually paper-paste armor!

It is actually normal to use paper armor. A well-made pair of paper armor is no worse than iron armor in terms of defense of long-range weapons such as bows and arrows. The excellent paper armor is pressed together with multiple layers of paper, three inches thick, with silk cloth on the outside, which can prevent arrows and even muskets. However, the paper armor on these Beijing soldiers is made of paper and is completely like a piece of goods.

Gao Shixin of course understood why these soldiers used paper armor because their iron armor had long been rusted and decayed and could no longer be used. They had not replaced the new iron armor, so they had to wear shoddy inferior paper armor, and the paint was more realistic, looking like an elite with distinctive armor.

The weapons in the hands of the soldiers in Beijing were all silver-sampled gun tips, and they were all taken to see, but in fact they were useless.

After entering the city, Gao Shixin walked to the door of his house and knocked on the door.

A head was poked out from the window of the doorman. It was Kong Youde. This famous general in history, Kong Youde, who later became the prince of the Qing Dynasty, actually became the guardian of his family.

When Kong Youde saw that it was Gao Shixin, he was overjoyed: "Brother is back! Brother is back!"

The door of the house opened, Gao's mother walked out and saw her son coming back. Gao's mother hugged her son: "Brother, are you back? But she worried about my mother! What happened to Miss Yue'er? Why didn't she bring Miss Yue'er back?"

"Mom, the child drove away the scholar that Miss Yue'er hated. Miss Yue'er will not get married in a short time. But Yuan Qianhu did not agree to our marriage."

"Miss Yue'er is such a good girl, what a pity."
