Chapter 102 The King Arrives
"Oh! Is there really someone who is not afraid of death and dares to stand up for others? I want to see who is tired of living."

When the officers in the hall heard Lin Fangda's scolding, they immediately became furious. The leader subconsciously let go of Meihua's arm, looked up at the second floor, and yelled, "Who was that bastard who said that just now?"

"I'll smash you to death!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Fangda quickly picked up the teacup on the table and smashed it at the officer downstairs.

There was a crisp "pop" sound, and the official was hit on the forehead by the flying teacup in panic. As the teacup shattered, his head also "bloomed", and streams of bright red blood flowed down his forehead.

"No! No! No!"

Upon seeing this, the accompanying officers drew their swords and stared at Lin Fangda ferociously.

As soon as the sword was drawn, there was an uproar in the Donghai Teahouse. The guests were afraid to avoid it and scattered in panic, trying to escape this place of trouble.

"Seal the gate! Not even a fly can get out!" The injured officer covered his bleeding forehead with one hand and brandished a steel knife with the other, shouting angrily, "How dare they openly oppose the government? If they are not severely punished today, won't they rebel against this group of unruly people in the future?" After that, he pointed his knife at the angry Lin Fangda on the second floor and ordered, "Brothers, catch that bastard. I'm going to cut off his tongue with my own hands!"

"Yes……"

"No need to bother, I'll come down and fight you myself!"

Before the officers could make any move, Lin Fangda suddenly shouted and leaped down from the second floor, using a tiger leaping over a ravine to instantly knock two officers to the ground. He then rushed to the stage and used a tiger pouncing on its prey move, frightening the injured officer so much that his eyes went dizzy and his legs went weak. He was knocked to the ground by Lin Fangda as soon as his body became light.

Then, he stomped heavily on the chest of the officer, making him unable to move and screaming in anger. Seeing this, several officers around him rushed forward with their swords in hand, surrounding Lin Fangda.

"Stop it all!"

Just when the two sides were about to fight, a cold and arrogant voice suddenly sounded from the corner, and then a young man dressed in Mongolian aristocratic clothing walked slowly forward.

This person is only in his early twenties, with fair skin, lazy body, arrogant expression, and noble air. He is wearing gold and silver, jewels and precious stones all over his body, and the sword hanging on his waist is also dazzling, inlaid with gold and jade. It is not difficult to guess that this person must be from a prominent family.

Behind this Mongolian young man were two Han Chinese, one a young man in his early thirties with a pale face, and the other a muscular man in his fifties.

In fact, these two people are old acquaintances of Lin Fangda. The young man is named Zhuge Wu, the young master of Luoyang Jindao Sect. The older man is named Xu Tieya, the second in command of Luoyang Iron Palm Gang. He is quite famous in Luoyang. It is said that his palm power is so strong that it can split mountains and rocks. Therefore, he is famous in Henan Prefecture and the locals call him "Hunyuan Iron Palm".

As soon as the Mongolian prince showed up, the officials who were originally aggressive suddenly stopped their actions and turned around to kowtow to the Mongolian prince and said, "Greetings, young prince!"

At this moment, Liu Xunyi and the four people "Fu Lu Shou Xi" had come close, looking cautiously at the group of officials. When Liu Xunyi heard the officials call the Mongolian prince "little prince", a strange light suddenly flashed in his eyes.

"Please be patient! Please be patient! Hehe..."

Before the situation became awkward, Xu Tieya stepped forward with a smile on his face and acted as a peacemaker. When he saw Lin Fangda, he couldn't help but reveal a strange look in his eyes, then he laughed and bowed and greeted: "Oh my! Isn't this Brother Lin Fang from the Xianwang Mansion? It's really like a flood that washed away the Dragon King Temple, and family members don't recognize each other. Haha..."

"Second Master Xu, do you recognize him?" The Mongolian prince frowned slightly, and looked at the fierce-looking Lin Fangda, and asked in an unhappy tone, "Who is he? Why did he dare to hit the government messenger?"

"Damn government officials!" Lin Fangda lost his temper again and shouted angrily, "How dare you rob a decent woman in broad daylight? Let alone a few small officials, even if it's the official, I will beat them up!"

"Oh?" The Mongolian prince said with a mocking look on his face, "What a big tone."

"Second Master Xu, Master Zhuge." Lin Fangda pointed at the embarrassed Xu Tieya and Zhuge Wu and said loudly, "Tell this Tartar, whose territory is this? Who has the final say?"

After saying that, without waiting for Xu Tieya and Zhuge Wu to try to smooth things over, Lin Fangda suddenly kicked the injured official off the stage, then paced back and forth on the stage, cursing and complaining to everyone in the hall: "Who is responsible for Luoyang City's prosperity today? Everyone here knows it! Who doesn't know that this area is under my jurisdiction? These bastards dared to cause trouble on my territory, do you think I can turn a blind eye?"

"No!" Many people in the teahouse recognized Lin Fangda and knew that he was a disciple of the Xianwang Mansion and had Luo Tianjin as a big backer. Therefore, as soon as Lin Fangda spoke out, there was a burst of agreement from the people around him.

Lin Fangda's words "this area is under his control" actually refer to Luo Tianjin's order to Xiumen disciples to guard the businesses and shops on these streets to prevent anyone from breaking the trading rules set by the Xianwang Mansion. In the final analysis, it is to stabilize Luoyang. However, today's words from Lin Fangda's mouth have changed their meaning, and they were spoken in front of the government's messengers, so the deep meaning is inevitably intriguing.

"This..." Xu Tieya looked at the Mongolian young man whose face was getting worse and worse, and was in a dilemma for a moment, not knowing how to start.

"You are in charge?" The Mongolian prince sneered, "What a joke! This is the land that I, the Mongolian iron hoof, conquered with my scimitars and crossbows. When will it be your turn as a Han Chinese to take charge? You are so arrogant and don't know how high the sky is or how deep the earth is!" At this moment, the injured official seemed to have found a savior. He crawled to the side of the Mongolian prince and instigated him, adding fuel to the fire: "Young prince, this man is called Lin Fangda. He is extremely arrogant on weekdays. He and the forces behind him have been rampant and lawless in Luoyang for many years. This is not the first time he has gone against the government..."

"Snapped!"

Before the officer could finish his words, the Mongolian young man suddenly raised his hand and slapped him hard in the face.

The Mongolian young master scolded them coldly, "I asked you to invite Miss Meihua to my house for a chat, but what did you do? If I hadn't come with you today, I don't know how many more troubles you would have caused? I'm afraid that the young lady has already regarded us as bandits and bullies. I think you are the one who is bullying on weekdays, right?"

"My young prince, calm down. I deserve to die! I deserve to die!"

No one knew the identity of this "little prince", but his scolding scared the group of officials so much that they all fell to their knees and kowtowed repeatedly, making the floor make "bang bang" sounds.

Everyone was surprised when they saw this. Many of those who had just agreed with Lin Fangda were now regretting it. They had originally thought that Lin Fangda's status was already good, but now it seemed that the origin of this "little prince" seemed even more complicated.

The Mongolian young man ignored the officials who were knelt and confessed their guilt, and turned his gaze to the anxious Meihua on the stage. He smiled faintly and said, "Miss Meihua, I am Wang Qingshu. I like the little songs you have sung these days. At the same time, I admire you very much, so I would like to invite you to my house for a chat. What do you think?" Although Wang Qingshu's wording was very polite, there was no respect in his tone. Instead, it sounded more like he was reciting an insignificant greeting.

"Yes!" Zhuge Wu smiled and said, "The young prince just came from Helin a few days ago. When he first arrived in Central Plains, he fell in love with her at first sight... Oh no, it should be because he heard Miss Meihua's little song. It's rare for the young prince to show such love to you. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for you and your daughter. Don't miss this good opportunity."

"You might as well tell me frankly. I not only like Miss Meihua's little song, but also her face." Wang Qingshu chuckled nonchalantly, "If you are willing to go back with me, I will guarantee that you and your daughter will enjoy a lifetime of wealth and glory! How do you think?"

"What do you mean? Are you trying to bribe me, a Central Plains woman, with money?"

Suddenly, a voice full of sarcasm and ridicule came from the stairs, and Luo Ningyu, accompanied by Luo Hongxuan and several disciples of the Xianwang Mansion, slowly came down from the second floor.

Luo Ningyu and Meihua were both women, and she hated Wang Qingshu the most, thinking he had money and power and wanted to do whatever he wanted. Especially using money to buy women, which was a mean behavior that Luo Ningyu could not tolerate.

"Oh! Isn't this Mr. Luo and Miss Luo?"

Upon seeing Luo Hongxuan and Luo Ningyu, Xu Tieya was startled, and then he stepped forward and greeted them enthusiastically: "A few days ago, I accompanied the eldest master to visit the Lord of Luo Mansion. It is really my honor to meet the son and daughter of the Lord of Luo Mansion today. Hehe..."

"When I was in Helin, I heard that women from the Central Plains are different from Mongolian women. Today, I see that each one is more interesting and more beautiful than the other..."

"That... young prince, these two are the son of the Lord of the Xian Palace, Luo Hongxuan, and the daughter Luo Ningyu." Xu Tieya knew that Luo Ningyu was far from an ordinary woman, and she was not someone who could be easily insulted. Although Wang Qingshu had a distinguished background, the daughter of the Xian Palace was not just a name, especially in Luoyang City, Luo Tianjin's means and power were far greater than that of this Mongolian young prince.

"Since it's a misunderstanding, let's just go our separate ways!" Luo Hongxuan was mature, far from being comparable to Lin Fangda. Although the Xianwang Mansion was a large and powerful family, sometimes one had to know the limits and know who to provoke and who not to provoke. More importantly, Luo Tianjin had repeatedly warned a month ago that the Mongols must be kept at a distance and must not be provoked.

Therefore, seeing that Xu Tieya and Zhuge Wu were both willing to mediate, Luo Hongxuan was naturally willing to give in and said with a faint smile: "It was someone from my house who just offended the young prince. I hope the young prince will forgive me!"

After saying that, Luo Hongxuan winked at Wang Shou who was standing next to Lin Fangda. Wang Shou was the most excited among the four people of "Fu Lu Shou Xi". Seeing Luo Hongxuan's signal, he hurriedly walked forward with a smile, bowed to Wang Qingshu and apologized, "Young Prince, just now my sect leader drank too much, and he accidentally bumped into you in a hurry. Please don't hold grudges against a drunk person..."

"Bullshit!" Lin Fangda immediately got angry upon hearing this. He completely ignored Luo Hongxuan's expression and cursed, "Wang Shou, you are just talking nonsense. I just drank a few cups of tea upstairs. Who can drink so much tea? Who can get drunk?" After that, Lin Fangda comforted Meihua and her daughter, "Don't be afraid! I'm here today. Who dares to touch you?"

"That's right!" Luo Ningyu chimed in, "I will protect you too! If you want to bully others in Luoyang City, you have to ask me first if I agree or not."

Luo Ningyu was born with the temper of a big lady. She was arrogant and cunning since she was young. It was not surprising that she "did not know the current situation" more than once or twice. What really surprised Liu Xunyi was why Lin Fangda, who always obeyed Luo Tianjin's orders, was so "indifferent to the importance" today?
When Liu Xunyi saw Wang Qingshu's increasingly cold eyes, he couldn't help but say in his heart: "Something bad is happening!"

"If Xiao Wang insists on inviting Miss Meihua to his house for a chat today..." Wang Qingshu said coldly, "What can you do?"

"Then you can try!" Lin Fangda challenged fiercely, "But I have to remind you in advance that swords have no eyes. The sword in my hand doesn't care whether you are a prince or a turtle. As long as you dare to force yourself, it will definitely chop you down!"

Due to Lin Fangda's obsession, the atmosphere, which had finally eased a little, instantly fell to freezing point again.

At this moment, the Donghai Teahouse was as quiet as death, as if a storm was about to come.
