Chapter 122: Returning the Favor
Prince Barlow suddenly fell to his knees and made a gesture of submission, which took everyone by surprise. Even Daphne didn't expect it.
Lu Ming hurriedly stepped forward and helped him up.
Barlow's eyes moved slightly, and he walked defenselessly in front of himself, who had just been an enemy, and this courage had already won his respect.
He stood up and shouted at Joseph, "I throw in the towel!"
There was silence in the audience, and the result was beyond everyone's expectations, I thought there would be a wonderful battle, but I didn't expect Barlow to admit defeat directly before the fight.
Barlow calmed down slightly, "My lord, I'm restless, and this is not the place to talk. Visit again in a day. ”
Lu Ming had a stomach full of doubts, so he had to nod in agreement. Barlow saluted Lu Ming again and turned to the stands.
The guardian stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, what's going on?"
Barlow winked at him and whispered, "I'll talk about it later." ”
In this way, Barlow and his party left the gladiatorial arena, leaving behind a group of stunned spectators.
Lu Ming put the goddess's scepter back into the necklace and slowly walked back to the stands.
Joseph walked up to him, and said without moving: "Lu Ming, you are really amazing, what did you do just now? I don't know about others, but Barlow is notoriously arrogant, and you can make him kneel on the ground?"
Remembering Daphne's previous instructions, Betty preemptively replied, "It's a secret, I can't tell you!"
Joseph shook his head and smiled bitterly, his cousin had not yet married, and his elbow had already turned out.
Lu Ming threw him an apologetic smile, saying that he couldn't answer him either.
After a few polite words with Joseph, the audience walked around, and Lu Ming also decided to leave the gladiatorial arena.
Just as she was about to leave, Betty suddenly remembered something, "Joseph, shouldn't you make so much money this time?"
Joseph's heart tightened, and he pretended to be stupid and said, "What does it mean?"
Betty didn't eat this at all, and snorted: "If you come less, 10,000 gold coins!" If you can't get it, I'll tell the queen mother that you bullied me." ”
Joseph said with a bitter face: "My Royal Highness Princess, even if you want to cheat me for money, you should find a decent excuse." Looking at the entire royal capital, who would dare to bully you?"
Seeing that Betty was about to get angry, Lu Ming said, "Okay, don't mess around, let's go." ”
"You don't know, he has a lot of money, don't want it in vain. Betty explained.
Joseph sighed helplessly, "Okay, I promise you, it will be a meeting gift for Lu Ming." However, 10,000 gold coins is not a small amount, and when I take back this batch of money, I will ask someone to send it to you. ”
Betty made an expression of knowing you, and happily took Lu Ming's arm and left the gladiatorial arena.
Joseph looked at Betty's figure with a doting smile.
"It can make the little devil become obedient, and it's really a thing to drop a thing. He beckoned, "Someone!"
"The subordinates are here!"
"Go and find out what the relationship between Lu Ming and Prince Barlow is. ”
"Yes!"
The group that left the gladiatorial arena went straight to the roadside shop selling broth under the leadership of Lu Ming.
"Lu Ming, you were so handsome just now! That Barlow was overshadowed in front of you, and you were as dazzling as a king. Betty said.
"Is there something wrong with such a sweet mouth?"
Betty secretly glanced at the others, and saw that no one was paying attention to herself, so she leaned into Lu Ming's ear and whispered: "It's rare to be so happy, I'll go to you tonight, people will definitely try to satisfy you, okay?"
Lu Ming coughed twice, his expression was a little unnatural, not only Daphne, but now even Betty's desire has risen to a new level.
If it was her before, it would be impossible to say the love words to herself just now when so many people were there.
He had already promised Daphne beforehand, so he had to divert the subject.
"I think Barlow has a bit of a sincere affection for you, have you seen it before?"
Betty wrinkled her nose, "Yes, but it was a long time ago. And he's a very deep man, and it's even more uncomfortable than Kiral, which I don't like. ”
After listening to her narration, Lu Ming smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to have the ability to know people." ”
Betty's jaw immediately tilted to the sky, "Of course, Princess Ben has been smart since she was a child. ”
Seeing that she was in a good mood and didn't want to continue to bully her, Lu Ming turned his face sideways and kissed her beautiful face lightly.
"Let's do it another day, I've been busy practicing in the past two days, and I just happened to make some progress, so I should strike while the iron is hot. ”
"Hmm. Betty snorted, and her whole body went limp. Lu Ming never made love in front of others, and Betty was extremely sweet in her heart at this time, as if she was about to melt.
In front of him is the broth shop frequented by Lu Ming and Amelia, last time because he didn't have change, this time he came here to pay back.
Lu Ming and his entourage were either handsome men and women, or strong guards, who could easily attract the attention of others, and some of the passers-by had just come out of the gladiatorial arena and recognized Lu Ming and the others at a glance.
"It's Her Royal Highness the Princess!
Pedestrians turned their heads one after another, and when they saw that it was really Her Royal Highness, they knelt directly on the ground.
"Your Highness the Princess!"
Bai Feifei's good-looking eyebrows furrowed slightly, in a relatively backward hierarchical society, low-level people have a hard time, while high-level nobles can enjoy the privileges under this system wantonly.
Previously, Bai Feifei's idea was to promote the emergence of a new bourgeoisie through commerce, accelerate the development of the new aristocracy, so as to promote social progress, carry out revolutions, and restrain the old aristocracy, so as to profit from it.
But from the current point of view, the people around him, whether it is Betty or Lu Ming, belong to the highest level of the hierarchical society, and doing this by himself is undoubtedly weakening the power of his own people. It seems that a long-term view is needed.
The old soup seller heard the shouts of the people, turned his head, and saw Lu Ming, and the beautiful girl beside her, whose identity was revealed by the royal coat of arms on her shoulder. So the old man quickly knelt on the ground.
There was a little boy of seven or eight years old beside him, who asked, "Grandpa, the ground is so dirty, why are you kneeling on the ground?"
The old man hurriedly dragged him to the ground and knelt down, and said, "This is Her Royal Highness the Princess, and we civilians are going to kneel and salute when we see it." ”
The little boy nodded as if he didn't understand, and knelt with his grandfather.
Lu Ming hurriedly stepped forward to help, "Grandpa, get up quickly." We're here to drink the broth you've made, not to see you kneel. ”
The old man stood up, daringly glanced at Betty, and saw that she was smiling at him. Pride suddenly rose in my heart, and even Her Royal Highness the princess came to taste her broth, what an honor.
