Chapter 477: What Are You Doing?!

Two days later, when the Night Army and the Shen Gu Army marched towards the barbarian’s military camp and the western border of the Shang Empire, Xu Xiang, Mu Yucheng, Huan Yun, and Hu Wenfeng had already arrived outside the imperial capital city of the Shang Empire.

Looking at the dawn sky, Xu Xiang said, "Let’s find a place to rest for a while."

Mu Yucheng put her down gently, looked at his wife’s tired look, and asked, "Xiang’er, are you alright?"

Xu Xiang smiled and said, "I’m fine. I’m just a little tired."

Hu Wenfeng stood beside them, put down Huan Yun, and said, "We can only wait until the city gate opens."

Xu Xiang nodded and said, "It seems that there are many people waiting for the city gate to open too."

While they were talking, Huan Yun looked around and saw that a teahouse on the roadside had opened. Seeing there were already a few customers inside the teahouse, she said, "Let’s go to the teahouse on the roadside and wait for the city gate to open."

Agreeing to her suggestion, the four walked towards the roadside teahouse and sat at the only empty table. Seeing that most of the people eating and drinking there were scholars, the four of them exchanged curious glances.

Not long after, a young girl came over and greeted them. "Welcome customer, are you ready to place your order?"

Xu Xiang looked at the young girl who was looking at them with a smile and said, "Little sister, please bring us a pot of tea."

The young girl nodded and asked, "Does the customer need anything else? Our steamed buns had just come out of the steamer. It’s very soft and delicious."

Xu Xiang nodded and said, "Then give us a plate of steamed buns."

"All right, customers, please wait a moment." The young girl said with a smile and left.

Seeing that most of the customers were talking excitedly, Huan Yun lowered her voice and said, "It seems like something big happened here."

After hearing what she said, Hu Wenfeng thought for a moment and turned to look at the two scholars sitting at the table beside them. With a smile on his face, Hu Wenfeng stood up and walked to the two scholars. He clasped his fists and said politely: "Excuse me, these two scholars."

The two poor scholars looked up at him for a moment, then stood up and returned the salute to Hu Wenfeng. A scholar had a polite smile on his face and asked, "Greetings, Young Master. Do you need anything?"

Hu Wenfeng smiled and said, "I’m sorry to interrupt your meal. But may I ask, is there anything going on in the imperial capital city?"

The two scholars looked at Hu Wenfeng’s expensive clothes and exchanged glances. Judging from his clothes and demeanor, this handsome young master should be an aristocratic young master coming out for fun. Thinking that Hu Wenfeng was from a noble family, the two scholars became more humble and polite.

One of them nodded and said, "Yes. Three days ago, news about the reopening imperial examination spread. It seems that the emperor has finally punished those corrupt officials and wants to recruit new people to fill the positions. Did the young master come here because of the imperial examination too?"

Although the scholar did not say it directly, other scholars knew what he meant. Judging from the expensive clothes on Hu Wenfeng and Mu Yucheng, they are obviously not ordinary people. At least, they should come from prominent families.

If they also come because of the imperial examination, based on their background, the chance of obtaining a first- or second-grade official position is very high. Although the scholars felt it was unfair, there was nothing they could do against these noble and powerful old families. They can only blame their bad luck on being born into peasant families.

Not knowing about what the scholars were thinking, Mu Yucheng shook his head and said, "No. I came here to take my fiancée and my friends for sightseeing."

After listening to his words, the scholar’s expression softened a little and he became friendly to Hu Wenfeng. The smile on the scholar’s face became more sincere as he said, "So that is the case. Unfortunately, the imperial examination is about to take place. I’m afraid it will be difficult for the young master to find a place to stay."

Hu Wenfeng smiled at the scholar, clasped his fists, and said, "Thank you, Young Master, for reminding me. Sorry for interrupting your meal."

The scholar clasped his fists and said, "You are too polite."

After Hu Wenfeng thanked the scholar, he returned to their table. As soon as he sat down, Huan Yun pinched his waist and asked angrily: "Who is your fiancée? Stop spreading rumors and ruining my chance to find a husband!"

Hu Wenfeng looked at her and asked sadly: "We have done what we should and shouldn’t do. Do you still want to marry another man? Do you want grass to grow on my head?"

Before he could complain again, Huan Yun quickly covered his mouth and threatened, "I already told you that was a mistake! If you dare to mention this again, see how I deal with you!"

Hu Wenfeng looked at her flushed face and kissed her palm. As soon as Huan Yun felt his warm and moist lips, she withdrew her hand in panic and asked in a low voice: "What are you doing?!"

Hu Wenfeng licked his lips as if enjoying the most delicious food in the world, and said, "It’s a pity that it’s just your palm. It would be great if I could try the other places."

"You–!" Huan Yun was so angry and embarrassed that she couldn’t speak and could only turn her head angrily, refusing to look at Hu Wenfeng.

Xu Xiang sat in front of them while watching their interactions, and asked curiously: "Huan Yun, have you already done the deeds with the second prince?"
