Chapter 1776 - 1762

The Old Gang Leader saw the little beggar standing there dumbfounded and shouted angrily.

"Oh, oh, this way, Old Gang Leader, they’re in Jie’er Alley!"

The little beggar said as he walked.

The Old Gang Leader suddenly remembered he was still chatting with Chu Ge, quickly turned back to say a few words, only to find that Chu Ge had followed along.

Chu Ge said, "I’ll go along and take a look too. If they really start a fight, I can help somehow."

He wasn’t afraid of offending the powerful and influential.

The Old Gang Leader patted Chu Ge on the shoulder and sighed, "Let’s go together, then."

On the way, the Old Gang Leader introduced Princess Liu Li to Chu Ge.

"She, relying on being the Emperor’s niece, has been running wild outside! She once clashed with that girl Feng Luo before, but last time she only brought a few followers who were all useless and no match for Feng Luo, so Feng Luo bullied her miserably."

Hearing this, Chu Ge saw the Old Gang Leader’s face light up with pride, but it quickly fell again.

"Hurry up, hurry up, if we’re late, the girl will definitely be bullied."

Chu Ge was puzzled, since Feng Luo could bully her last time, even if she doesn’t bully her this time, she shouldn’t be bullied, right?

But soon he realized, the little beggar just said Princess Liu Li brought the Jinyi Guards, so they must not have come with goodwill.

Thinking this, Chu Ge quickened his pace, following the Old Gang Leader all the way out of the Beggar Gang’s gate and to Jie’er Alley. From far away, they heard a woman’s loud cursing.

"Just you? And you think you can become a military doctor?" Princess Liu Li shouted, glaring at Feng Luo with disbelief. "Is my fifth uncle out of his mind? To choose you as a military doctor!"

Feng Luo folded her arms, with a modest smugness in her expression, "If you don’t believe me, you can ask Prince He Shuo yourself."

"I will certainly ask!" Princess Liu Li snorted loudly, glaring at Feng Luo reluctantly, "But today, you can’t escape the crime of offending this princess!"

Feng Luo laughed, "Offend you? You’re the one who walked without watching where you were going and deliberately bumped into me. Besides, I was standing here without moving an inch, everyone here saw that, and you still want to feign injury?"

"Feign injury? What does that mean?" She had long heard of Feng Luo saying strange things, and now it seemed to be true!

She didn’t understand what feign injury meant and was momentarily baffled.

"It means trying to cheat someone! Picking a fight deliberately! It’s a term for being a scoundrel!" Feng Luo explained patiently.

This time Princess Liu Li understood, and in rage, she pointed at Feng Luo and cursed, "How dare you, you tasteless hussy, say this princess is a scoundrel and deserves a beating? You simply have no regard for this princess, people, slap her!"

As soon as she finished speaking, someone stepped forward, but Feng Luo shot them a sharp glare, "Let’s see who dares!"

The person who wanted to step forward immediately hesitated, indeed they didn’t dare. Although Feng Luo was with the Beggar Gang and an enemy of Prince He Shuo, the Emperor favored her. He had heard of her causing trouble in the palace, but instead of being reprimanded, she was rewarded.

But compared to Feng Luo, Princess Liu Li was even more formidable. She had a notorious reputation as Little Chili, and following her orders today was quite a hardship.

He glanced towards Princess Liu Li for help, his gaze searching for an answer, as if to suggest that causing a scene with Feng Luo might result in severe consequences from the Emperor...

Seeing this, Liu Li glared at him, "Cowardly thing! She’s just a commoner! Are you afraid of her?"

"He is indeed quite afraid of me, afraid I’ll complain to the Emperor about him! If the Emperor gets angry, it’s him who will be punished, not you. He’s not stupid,"

Feng Luo said leisurely.

She seemed sure that the person wouldn’t dare lay a hand on her, and her smile carried a hint of mischief, "How about this? I see your hands are delicate and smooth, probably haven’t done much hard work, right? Why not do it yourself? This way, it won’t hurt when you hit me, and you can vent your anger, isn’t that a win-win?"

Win-win? Not at all! Liu Li looked at Feng Luo like she was a monster, "Are you crazy? You’re asking me to hit you with my status as a princess? Do you think you’re worthy?"

Jie’er Alley, though not particularly famous, was a necessary thoroughfare to the bustling district, with plenty of passersby. Seeing soldiers, many detoured away.

But the bolder or more curious stayed to watch for gossip, and soon enough, the place was nearly surrounded by a crowd eager for Eight Diagrams.

Liu Li glanced disdainfully at her follower, "Spineless thing! Get out of here! Go to your leader and receive your punishment!"

The person dared not say more, quickly nodding in acknowledgment and retreating.

Princess Liu Li turned to the others, "Who dares to step up and slap her! The princess will reward him with 100 gold taels when he returns!"

Instantly, those at the scene, including the Jinyi Guards who just retreated, were itching to try, after all, 100 gold taels is a fortune! It’s gold! Even ten years of salary might not amount to 100 gold taels!

Feng Luo tutted, "So my face is worth this much in your eyes? Why don’t we make a deal?"

Liu Li looked at her suspiciously; she was about to slap her, yet she remained calm and wanted to make a deal with her?

"What deal?" she asked instinctively.

"Just give me the money worth slapping my face, and I won’t need them to do it, I’ll do it myself, how about that? This way they won’t be in trouble, and I can earn some silver, I think that’s a fair trade."

Hearing Feng Luo’s words, Liu Li’s face turned green with anger, glaring at Feng Luo, "Are you dumb in the head? I want to slap you, and you want to hit yourself for the money? Hah, today you have shown me a new side of you, truly shameless!"

"People die for money just as birds die for food, it’s just the natural order! Did you see? The person who was called out to slap me was scared stiff just a moment ago, but at the mention of money, they’re all eager to try, and shouldn’t I be the same?"

Feng Luo watched as Liu Li’s face shifted from red to white with anger, feeling pleased internally. After all, she wasn’t actually going to slap herself, her words were purely to tease Liu Li.

Want to slap her face? In the end, it might not even be clear who slaps who!

Feng Luo’s lips curled ever so slightly, "Princess Liu Li, actually my suggestion is pretty good, you can take your time to consider it, but you’ll need to do that elsewhere."

"Why?" Liu Li completely fell into Feng Luo’s trap and was led by the nose!

"Because..." Feng Luo gestured with her eyes for her to look around, "because you, a dignified princess, have become the center of attention, like a monkey in a show."
