Marrying a Disabled General and be His Wife

The capital of Jing Kingdom was different from Qi Kingdom.

King Qi had strict rule about ‘forbidden market’ system. When the night fell, there would be no people on the street.

If someone came in and out at night, there would be punishment ranging from beating to beheading.

But Jing Kingdom wasn’t like this.

The sun was about to set but the crowds were still bustling in the streets. The vendors were selling their goods atheistically and the restaurants were shone brightly with their lamps.

Tan Chuyan had lived in the deep palace, most what he knew about the outside world was from his teacher. But he always wanted to see the prosperity of the world with his own eyes.

He couldn’t help but walked faster on the stairs.

When the waiter in the restaurant saw Tan Chuyan coming down, he immediately lowered his head respectfully.

Although he never met this young man, the shopkeeper said they must treat this person carefully like a distinguished guest.

Even the shopkeeper was very polite to him.

The shopkeeper who was counting the money, looked up and saw Tan Chuyan walking down from upstairs. He quickly got up and welcomed the person into his private room.

“Young master, are you going out?” the shopkeeper asked.

“Yes.” Tan Chuyan nodded, “I’m going out for a walk.”

The shopkeeper reached for his clothes and pretended to slap it on himself, “Young master just arrived in the Jing Kingdom and isn’t familiar with the places. I will go with the young master to lead the way.”

“No need.” Tan Chuyan stretched his hand to stop the shopkeeper, “Uncle Xiao, you are the shopkeeper of An-xiang House, how could you follow around a small person like me. I’m afraid everyone in the street will be looking at me.”

The shopkeeper of An-xiang House was Xiao Yutang. He came to Jing Kingdom five years ago and opened another An-xiang House that was famous around the world.

In just five years, An-xiang House had developed into number one restaurant in the Tianyou City. Naturally, the reputation of An-xiang House itself was a blessing and in separatable from Xiao Yutang’s painstaking management.

It was precisely because of this that Xiao Yutang became a well-known small celebrity in the Jing Kingdom.

Everyone said that a businessman must be like Xiao Yutang.

Either you couldn’t do it or did your best.

Now, when facing Tan Chuyan, the famous celebrity Xiao Yutang had a cold sweat streaming down his forehead.

“Young master, please don’t embarrassed the old slave.”

After saying that, Xiao Yutang made a gesture of kneeling down.

Tan Chuyan hands were quick enough, he grabbed the man’s arm with a helpless look, “Uncle Xiao, don’t think too much. I really didn’t mean that, I just want to stroll around.”

Tan Chuyan’s eyes weren’t cold, Xiao Yutang breathed a sigh of relief. He took out a large bag of money and handed it out, “Young master, go and come back early. It’s cold at night, don’t freeze your body anymore. Young master takes this money and go buy anything you likes. Don’t worry about money.”

“Yeah, yeah.”

Tan Chuyan nodded obediently and took the money. He left the restaurant with Tianbao.

Xiao Yutang saw the young master’s frail figure walked out of his private room. He raised his hand to wipe the sweat on his forehead.

It really scared him to death just now.

He almost thought that the young master was superior like his teacher.

Yes, Tan Chuyan was his master.

He had always obeyed Tan Chuyan’s order and he also afraid of him.

Everyone knew that the fifth prince of Qi Kingdom had a heavenly appearance but his body was weak and he wasn’t favored.

However, little did they know that this eighteen years old boy was a ghost, an evil being.

Back then…. Whatever, it was better to not mentioned what happened back then.

It was enough for him to know that Tan Chuyan had a murderous evil hidden under his skin.

After leaving An-xiang House, Tianbao whispered, “Your highness, you seemed to scared Shopkeeper Xiao just now.”

“Did I?” Tan Chuyan blinked his innocent’s eyes.

“No?” Tianbao touched his forehead, “Shopkeeper Xiao was sweating bad in this weather, it makes me feel bad for him.”

“Hey-” Tan Chuyan sighed and folded his cloak, “I really didn’t mean it. I just got used to speak like this. I will try to change it in the future. By the way, call me young master from now on. Your highness was too eye-catching.”

Tianbao nodded, he felt even more sorry for the prince.

The palace was a place that ate people without spitting out the bones. Although, he wasn’t favored but he was still a prince. Sometimes he made a mistake and was punished.

Over time, he became cold and distant, naturally he became accustomed to it.

But he was still too young, he shouldn’t have lost all the sincerity and kindness in his heart.

Tianbao didn’t know that inside the fifth prince’s body wasn’t a young man but an old man from another world.

.

.

Tan Chuyan looked around the street curiously, he found the gadgets on every stall interesting.

He heard some of them mentioned by his teacher and had read them in the history books, but he only knew and never saw it real close.

Now, he waved his hand and bought everything he liked.

After a while, Tianbao’s arms were full.

Tan Chuyan finally bought enough. He held a small candy man in his hand and licked with his reddish tongue.

The sun had completely set by this time, but the street was brightly lit and there was no feeling of darkness at all.

“Young master, how about we go back tomorrow… young master!”

Tianbao moved the things in his arms upwards and his highness plunged into the crowds in a flash. He could only follow him difficulty.

Tan Chuyan saw a large group of people surrounding something so he wanted to see it too.

As he got closer, he realized it was a game of throwing pot.

This game wasn’t easy at all. It tested both eyesight and hand strength. Most people in the Qi Kingdom regarded it as a nice game to past time and people never care about it or crowding the player.

But, why is this throwing pot so popular in the Jing Kingdom?

After he listened, he realized it was the boss who knew about business tricks.

Buy ten arrows for five coins, if they landed a hit with three arrows, they would get their money back. if they hit five, it would be doubled. If they hit eight, then thrice the money. And if they landed them all, they would get five times their money and a bonus.

People who were greedy, took their chance in turns.

Who didn’t what a small price to win good price?

Even if they didn’t win ten hit as long as you managed to get some, it would be exchanged for money.

When the boss felt he had made enough money for today, he planned to close his stall, “Does anyone else want to play? If not, I will go home and have fun with my wife and kids.”

“Wait, I will come and play.”

Tan Chuyan finished his candy in several bites, stuffed the stick into Tianbao’s hand and squeezed into the stall.

In the palace, only the favored prince could play with this kind of thing. He had never played it since he was a child.

Now, he definitely wanted to try it.

“Okay.” The boss stretched out his hand asking for money, “Five coins, the young master has to pay first.”

Tan Chuyan took out five coins from the money bag and put it in the boss’ hand. Ten arrows were placed on his hand.

The boss looked at Tan Chuyan’s delicate tender skin with his red lips and white teeth. He thought it was a pampered young master, he definitely didn’t know this game.

It was great, he could make free money again.

Tan Chuyan hit three arrows in a row and was enough to get his money back, the boss’ face turned weird.

Then, he hit five, the boss looked a little stiff.

Eight hits, the boss was stunned.

Then he finally finished the ten arrows, the boss was speechless. He didn’t know what to say.

The boss only set up the stall three times in two weeks to keep the things fresh in the market. Despite this, he had never meet anyone from military army.

It would be fine if a person was military man full of training and shoot ten arrows perfectly. As a great hero it was too easy for them to play this.

But this young man was handsome but very frail. At the first glance, he couldn’t even draw the bow but he was good enough to shoot them all.

The people around them were shocked by Tan Chuyan’s ability. They were silent for a bit then applause loudly.

Someone said, “Okay!! Good job!”

He didn’t know which man was it.

“Boss, please pay me quickly. We are all watching, don’t even think about cheating me. Hahaha…”

A businessman must be trustworthy, although the boss felt pain in his heart for losing so much money. He took out twenty-five coins and talked to Tan Chuyan.

“Young master, you are so good. Come and play again next time.” He also added five coins as the bonus.

He said this but he was silently prayed for Tan Chuyan to never come.

Tan Chuyan took the money and smiled, “As promised, I will come over and play when I have time.”

The boss, “….” His corner lips twitched a bit, “Then, I will welcome the young master in advance.”

Tan Chuyan laughed at him and patted the boss’ shoulder, “I’m just teasing you. If I come here a few times, your stall might have to be closed.”

The boss breathed out in relief and thought to himself, this young man was actually funny and kind.

Tan Chuyan saw it was getting late, he called out Tianbao, “Tianbao, let’s go back.”

Tianbao thanked the God that the prince was finally had enough fun.

The crowd parted to give Tan Chuyan a way, he thanked them and walked out.

However, as soon as he stepped out of the crowd. A long sword was pressed against his throat.
