180 Protection

The guard asked, “Does Young Marquis Jing know this person?”

Jing Yi said, “He’s the brother of a friend of mine.”

The guard looked at Su Ergou skeptically. “I wonder who is that young master in the capital I’ve never seen.”

Jing Yi’s friends were either rich or n.o.ble, but this person’s clothes did not look like a young master of an aristocratic family.

!!

“You don’t know my friend,” Jing Yi said.

The guard sized up Su Ergou carefully. No matter how he looked at it, he did not think that Su Ergou was someone with status.

The guard said calmly, “He injured my young master. We can’t let this matter go. What do you think, Young Marquis Jing?”

Jing Yi asked with a deep gaze, “What do you plan to do?”

The guard said coldly, “He can sever his arm, or I can cripple his arm.”

Jing Yi said word by word, “You can’t touch this person. If you don’t believe me, try me.”

The guard frowned.

The two most difficult young people to get along with in the capital were the youngest son of the Wei family and the young marquis in front of him.

Although the Young Marquis was young, his martial arts were not weak. If they really fought, he would not be able to gain an advantage.

Not to mention…

The guard looked at Su Ergou deeply. He was clearly a poor boy. How did he obtain the protection of Young Marquis Jing?

Their young master and Young Marquis Jing had grown up together. Logically speaking, his young master should be in Young Marquis Jing’s circle.

The guard was puzzled, let alone the young man.

The young man frowned and said, “Brother Jing, why are you protecting a slave!”

Jing Yi said coldly, “I’ll say it again. He’s not a slave!”

The young man’s eyes trembled.

He… was very afraid of Jing Yi.

He was even more afraid of him than he was of the Third Prince.

The Third Prince had a gentle personality and was a modest and polite gentleman. He usually did not put on airs and took good care of juniors like them.

Jing Yi was different. This guy was unreasonable. Other than the Third Prince, he would not give anyone respect.

Jing Yi said to Su Ergou, “Ergou, let’s go.”

Su Ergou followed Jing Yi.

When he brushed past the young man, Su Ergou suddenly pounced forward, s.n.a.t.c.hed the whip, and whipped the young man!

The whip hit the young man’s face. The young man’s face was swollen at a visible speed.

The guard’s expression turned cold as he slapped Su Ergou!

Jing Yi pulled Su Ergou to the other side and punched the guard!

The guard gritted his teeth. “Young Marquis!”

Jing Yi’s internal force shook, causing the guard to take a few steps back.

Su Ergou glared at this group of people fiercely. He bent down and picked up the broken slingshot. He gently blew away the gra.s.s on it and held it carefully.

Jing Yi left with Su Ergou.

After taking a few steps, he turned around and looked into the depths of the forest.

He frowned slightly.

He wasn’t sure if it was his imagination, but someone seemed to be in the dark.

However, in the next second, the aura disappeared again.

The two of them walked away.

The young man was so angry that he threw all the bows and arrows at the horse and kicked the horse twice!

The guard was shocked and hurriedly grabbed the reins to prevent the horse from going crazy.

The young man gritted his teeth and said, “I’m going to look for the Third Prince and tell him what his cousin has done!”

The guard turned around and looked at the frightened attendant and servant.

“Little High Duke went out hunting. Didn’t you know how to stop him? You even let strangers approach him. I think you want to die!”

The two of them knelt down.

The attendant pointed at the servant. “Guard Li, it’s none of my business. He brought him here!”

The servant panicked and said, “He’s a servant of the Su family! He saw me pus.h.i.+ng a cart of things and came over to help me! Moreover… Moreover, it was the young master who wanted to bring him…”

The guard said coldly, “Hmph, neither of you can escape punishment!”

The young man saw Young Master Xiang talking to Grandpa Su in the east room of the courtyard.

“Third… Young Master Xiang, Uncle,” he greeted listlessly.

Su Yuan glanced at him. “What happened to your face?”

The young man lowered his head, his eyes red and aggrieved.

“Speak!” Su Yuan said in a low voice.

...

The young man said gloomily, “A servant from Uncle’s family beat me up. Young Marquis Jing knows him and let him go.”

Su Yuan was puzzled. “How does Young Marquis Jing know my servants? He even let them go?”

This was definitely not as simple as knowing each other.

Su Yuan continued, “What’s that servant’s name?”

The young man thought for a moment. “I heard Young Marquis Jing call him… Ergou.”

Young Master Xiang stopped drinking his tea.

Jing Yi sent Su Ergou back to the small courtyard where the snacks were made.

Su Xiaoxiao was a little surprised to see the two of them come over together. Then, she saw Su Ergou’s slightly swollen cheek.

Her eyes darkened. “Who did it?”

There was a clear whip mark on his cheek. It was obvious that he had not fallen.

...

Su Ergou told Su Xiaoxiao what had happened. “…I didn’t suffer a loss. I slapped him back! His face is more swollen than mine!”

“It’s good that you didn’t suffer a loss.” Su Xiaoxiao paused and said seriously, “Don’t fight on your own next time. Get me to come along!”

The guards in the capital were definitely not something the hooligans in town and the prefecture capital could compare to.

They had real skills.

They really did not care about human lives.

It was all thanks to Jing Yi this time.

“Got it, Sister,” Su Ergou agreed.

Su Xiaoxiao continued, “I just made snacks. Do you want some?”

Su Ergou said heartlessly, “Yes!”

Jing Yi finally understood why Su Ergou was not afraid of death. If he was fierce, she was even fiercer.

None of the siblings were cowards.

Su Ergou sat inside and ate snacks while Su Xiaoxiao sent Jing Yi out.

“Thank you for protecting Ergou.”

“No need,” Jing Yi said.

Su Xiaoxiao said, “By the way, how are your injuries recovering?”

Jing Yi moved his arm. “It doesn’t hurt anymore.”

“Who’s that little prince?” She had to know who the brat who bullied Su Ergou was.

Jing Yi was silent. If ordinary people asked him, he would not answer.

But he didn’t hate talking to her.

He said, “His surname is Qin and his name is Qin Yun. He’s the young master of the Duke Protector’s Estate. His grandfather has contributed greatly and was conferred the t.i.tle of first-grade Duke Protector. It’s hereditary for three generations. Coincidentally, it’s the third generation when it comes to him.”

“What will happen in three generations?” Su Xiaoxiao was a little curious.

“Demotion,” Jing Yi said.

“Oh.” Su Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and said, “His surname is Qin. This family’s surname is Su…”

Jing Yi said, “Old Marquis Su’s sister married the Protector Duke. Many years ago, Old Marquis Su returned to his hometown to pay respects to his ancestors and brought the d.u.c.h.ess and her son along. Unexpectedly, they were a.s.sa.s.sinated halfway. The d.u.c.h.ess unfortunately died, and the whereabouts of the d.u.c.h.ess’s child was unknown. The two families searched for a long time, but they couldn’t find the child. It was not until ten years later that the child returned to the capital.”

“That child is the newly appointed Duke, Qin Yun’s father. Perhaps because he has suffered among the commoners, the Qin family and the Su family have tried their best to compensate him. His son, Qin Yun, has also been spoiled by the two families.”

“Also.”

Jing Yi paused.

“What?”

“My cousin is engaged to the Duke Protector’s Estate. The person he is to marry is Qin Yun’s sister.”
