Chapter 49

Liang Xiao not only shamelessly stayed, but also became more and more presumptuous, chatting and laughing as if he were the host. Although he could neither recite poetry nor write essays, Liang Xiao was a seasoned storyteller, able to tell all kinds of jokes without any taboo. He had refused the invitations of the nobles of Huainan several times and was now somewhat famous. Many people thought he would act like a scholar, but to their delight, he remained lively and engaging.

It didn't take long for Liang Xiao to become an indispensable figure. The young men listened with great interest, and even the Hu family's maidservants, their faces flushed, were reluctant to leave.

One after another, people came to toast him, and Liang Xiao soon became quite drunk. He burped and squinted his eyes, looking around for the Li family's maidservant. Finally, he found her in the crowd, grabbed her, and almost hung on her. He pinched her breasts through her clothes and shouted loudly, "Hu Jun, where is the latrine? I want her to accompany me. Will you let me?"

The maidservant groaned in pain, almost in tears. The young men, however, grinned mischievously. In such a setting, it was not uncommon for a maidservant to be dragged to a secluded spot and taken advantage of. Liang Xiao's behavior, far from being considered impolite, won the approval of the young men and made him a symbol of their camaraderie.

A knight-errant should not only be skilled in martial arts and have a good drinking capacity, but also be unrestrained. No one liked the pedantic and拘谨的书生 (stiff and pedantic scholars).

Hu Lai had also drunk a lot, but mainly because he was in a bad mood. He had spent money to prepare the banquet, but it had become Liang Xiao's show. Hu Lai was not happy and was sitting at the head table, drinking alone, when he suddenly heard Liang Xiao calling him. He looked up with effort and saw that Liang Xiao was almost delirious from drink, yet still couldn't resist taking advantage of the maidservant. Hu Lai sneered in disdain.

A commoner is a commoner. Having never seen a real beauty, he couldn't control himself at the sight of a somewhat attractive maidservant. He didn't even know who he was flirting with. Hehe, after following you for several days without a chance, I didn't expect you to come to me. It must be fate.

Hu Lai gave the maidservant a meaningful look and pretended to be generous, laughing heartily, "Why not? But Liang Jun, be gentle and don't leave without saying goodbye."

The young men laughed heartily. Taking a maidservant from someone's house secretly was something they often did.

The maidservant, seeing Hu Lai's signal, endured Liang Xiao's wandering hands and helped him out of the tent. Hu Lai, unlike Liang Xiao and the others, who would relieve themselves wherever they could, dug a pit outside the tent, placed a wooden board over it as a temporary latrine, and had it filled in when he left, leaving almost no trace.

Since it was outdoors, to avoid the smell, the latrine was several dozen steps away from the main tent, hidden in the wild grass at the foot of the hill. The maidservant helped Liang Xiao down the slope and, seeing no one around, bent down to reach for the short knife tied to her calf, intending to kill Liang Xiao.

Just as her hand touched the knife, she suddenly felt a hand between her legs. She was startled and looked down to see that Liang Xiao's hand had also reached inside her skirt.

"You..." The maidservant's face turned red, and she shouted, "What are you doing?"

"Hehe, you're really beautiful," Liang Xiao slurred, his speech unclear, his body swaying, and he was about to fall into the latrine. To keep his balance, he tightly held the maidservant's other hand, while his remaining hand roamed between her legs.

It was still hot, and the maidservant, apart from her stockings, wore no pants under her skirt. Her bare legs were easily touched by Liang Xiao. She was furious and wanted to push Liang Xiao into the latrine, but she was afraid of being pulled in and getting dirty, so she had to endure and deal with Liang Xiao.

"Tsk tsk, so smooth," Liang Xiao said, drunk and dazed, but his fingers were surprisingly agile. The maidservant couldn't block him in time and was flustered. In a moment of distraction, Liang Xiao found the short knife, pulled it out, and examined it closely.

"Huh, what is this? It's hard and shiny," Liang Xiao tried to open his bleary eyes, tilting his head to examine it carefully.

The maidservant was shocked and held her breath instinctively.

"Ah, it's useless," Liang Xiao, seemingly very drunk, didn't recognize the knife and casually threw it aside, then put his hand back under the maidservant's skirt and started touching her again. The maidservant breathed a sigh of relief but was also at a loss. Her original assassination plan, like the short knife, was abandoned.

"Help... help me... find it," Liang Xiao slurred, "I... I can't find my little bird."

Seeing Liang Xiao's drunken antics, the maidservant was so angry that she wanted to push him into the latrine, but Liang Xiao, though drunk, had a strong grip, making her arm hurt and unable to exert force. Seeing someone else coming out of the tent and walking this way, she had to endure the shame, put her hand under Liang Xiao's clothes, and started feeling around. Soon, she touched a hot and hard object.

"Whoa—" Liang Xiao drew a sharp breath and opened his eyes wide.

The maidservant gritted her teeth and whispered, "Hurry up, someone is coming."

"I... I can't pee," Liang Xiao laughed, "It... It feels so good! Hu Lai... does he often make you do this..."

"Shut up!" Seeing someone approaching, the maidservant finally couldn't hold back, tears welling up in her eyes. "If you keep humiliating me, I'll kill you."

"Hehe, no more teasing, no more teasing," Liang Xiao laughed, pushed the maidservant away, turned around, and started urinating.

A young man, holding a maidservant, walked over, glanced at Liang Xiao, and smiled knowingly, then led the maidservant to the nearby bushes. The maidservant, blushing, giggled and glanced at Liang Xiao's maidservant.

The maidservant was ashamed and couldn't explain. She wanted to find her short knife and kill Liang Xiao while he was urinating, but looking around, she found nothing. She was puzzled but couldn't say more, so she helped Liang Xiao, who had finished urinating, endure his advances, and returned to the main tent.

Seeing Liang Xiao return with a satisfied look, the maidservant's clothes disheveled and her face flushed, Hu Lai was very angry and glared at her. The maidservant, blushing, lowered her head, returned Liang Xiao to his seat, and walked away as if avoiding a plague, unwilling to get close to Liang Xiao again.

Hu Lai called her over and whispered, "Li Rongqing, what's wrong with you? Do you still want to redeem yourself?"

"I..." Li Rongqing, both ashamed and angry, bit her lip and couldn't say a word. "Please give me a moment, I will definitely kill him tonight."

"If you can't kill him today, I'll sell you tomorrow," Hu Lai said viciously. "Get out!"

Li Rongqing, utterly humiliated, glared at Liang Xiao and left the tent.

Liang Xiao, though swaying and reeking of alcohol, saw everything clearly. He chuckled to himself, rubbed his fingers, and praised her in his heart.

"Truly a martial artist, the feel is really good, so tight... tsk tsk. I hope your skills in killing are just as good."
