Chapter 769: 357 Arrogant Protection (One More Update)_3 Chapter 769: 357 Arrogant Protection (One More Update)_3 Unbeknownst to them, when they pushed open the wooden door of the pavilion, they were greeted with a mouthwatering aroma of meat buns, which instantly made everyone salivate profusely.

“Are we making buns today? Did the villagers know we were leaving, so they specially made big meat buns?”

“Such a fragrant meat bun!”

All of them were officials from Capital City, if not all of them from distinguished families, at least they didn’t crave meat buns. But for some reason, they simply smelled this aroma of meat, and felt they couldn’t hold back!

“Wait, this doesn’t smell like ordinary meat buns it’s Zhouji’s! His family’s meat buns have a butter sesame scent!”

“Yes! It’s Zhouji’s big meat bun!”

Zhouji’s big meat buns were famous in Capital City, but he only made a hundred baskets a day. Once sold out, it would be hard to buy even if you queue.

The aroma was coming from An County King’s pavilion.

“Would it be that Marquis Gu had someone buy it again? Marquis Gu is really considerate! He bought so many roast ducks and crispy chickens last night.”

“That was for the An County King! We just benefited from his kindness!”

“It seems like we’re benefiting from An County King’s kindness again.”

The crowd was chattering and could hardly wait to walk towards An County King’s pavilion.

But when they arrived at the entrance, they were startled. The only ones in the room were Xuanping marquis and Xiao Liulang…and a boy dressed in black.

There were several big steamed buns on the table in front of them, along with wine-braised meatballs sprinkled with egg flowers, green onion pancakes stuffed with donkey meat, and braised lamb spines that smelled so good they could make the neighbour’s dog cry.

All of these were signature dishes of Zhouji’s.

The crowd swallowed their saliva nervously. Is it really okay to eat such a lavish meal so early in the morning…?

But, three people can’t finish all of these, so they probably bought the rest for them, right?

Sure enough, Xiao Liulang casually said, “Did you kill the bun seller?”

Who can eat all these buns!

With a smile, the Xuanping marquis beckoned , “Share them, Chang Jing.”

Chang Jing came over and took the buns from the table, leaving only one basket for Xuanping marquis and Xiao Liulang.

As everyone watched Chang Jing approach with the buns, they were beside themselves with excitement.

What they didn’t expect though, was that Chang Jing just impassively walked past them.

Everyone was shocked speechless: “…”

Chang Jing distributed the buns to the villagers.

With only one bun left, Chang Jing gave it to the village’s big black dog.

As such, everyone gnawing their pickles and cornbread experienced firsthand the humiliation of being treated worse than a dog.

After breakfast, the Xuanping marquis bundled up Xiao Liulang and shoved him into his own carriage, despite Xiao Liulang’s vocal protests – which proved ineffective.

Everyone boarded their own carriage from various government offices, and Marquis Gu was surprised to find that the wheels of his carriage had been removed.

Marquis Gu exploded on the spot: “Where are the wheels of my carriage? Who did this!”

Everyone seated in their carriage looked at each other in shock.

Isn’t it obvious who did this?

Just ask who here has a higher official rank than you?

Everyone remained silent, until An County King broke the silence: “Marquis Gu, if you don’t mind, you can ride in my carriage back to Capital City.”

“It seems I have no other choice.” Marquis Gu sighed and got into An County King’s carriage. Ah, this son-in-law is really good, he always extends a helping hand at the crucial moment-

Before he could finish this thought, there was a loud bang; the wheels of An County King’s carriage were also removed.

Nobody saw anyone make a move, the two carriage wheels seemed to have betrayed their own and rolled away from the carriage.

The carriage dropped heavily onto the ground, Marquis Gu’s head hit the carriage roof, instantly forming a bump.

The Minister of Revenue was really reluctant to meddle, but having been entrusted with the care of An County King, and not wanting to neglect his future father-in-law, he had to invite both of them into his carriage.

The Xuanping marquis, along with Chang Jing, emerged from Xiao Liulang’s tent, with Chang Jing carrying Xiao Liulang’s baggage and the herbs they had gathered over the past few days.

After a moment of thought, the Minister of Revenue bowed to the Xuanping marquis: “In consideration of Lady Xiao, please… show some mercy.”

Madam Xiao, Xuanping marquis’s mother, and the Minister of Revenue’s mother were cousins, so technically, they were considered cousins.

“Alright,” the Xuanping marquis agreed.

The Minister of Revenue sighed in relief. It seemed that Lady Xiao’s face still mattered.

The very next second, the Xuanping marquis casually kicked the wheel off the Minister of Revenue’s carriage!

He had only said to show mercy, but never stated to tread lightly.

When it came to bullying people, Xuanping marquis was a professional.

After seeing all this, no one dared to offer Marquis Gu a ride. Everyone tailed between their legs and quickly disappeared.

An County King could only apologize to Marquis Gu, and after asking Wuyang to find and mount the wheels, he set off alone for Capital City.

Marquis Gu was left alone in the field, behind him was a carriage without wheelsand the horse had also run away….

He felt as if he had been abandoned by the world.

Marquis Gu whimpered in despair: “Wu.”
