Seeing that Comrade Wu was angry, Wu Muyu hurried forward, took Wu Kunhu's arm, and said softly, "Father, how can I hide it from you? Didn't he think that Su Wen's marriage contract is with him, so telling it will embarrass you. I just want to make friends with him, nothing else."
Wu Lie opened his mouth wide.
Is that the case
As soon as Old Wu heard what Wu Muyu said, she also thought about it in her heart. If it was really like what Wu Muyu said, she would know how to measure it.
Although still very upset, the anger in Wu Kunhu's heart calmed down a lot.
"Hmph! What kind of friends are you making with him, a prodigal son!" Wu Kunhu said.
At this moment, Wu Lie, who was kneeling on the ground, couldn't help interjecting: "Father, that Su Wen's martial arts skills are excellent, and he also has a lot of loyalty. He is reliable at critical times, and he can be regarded as a good friend!"
After all, fighting side by side with Su Wen, both of them risked their lives. Even in the most critical moment, Su Wen didn't show any sign of shrinking back. This also made Wu Lie approve of Su Wen from the bottom of his heart.
Hearing this, Wu Kunhu was furious, even if he wanted to beat him, but after thinking about it, he had been beaten several times today, and it was not appropriate to beat him again, so he resisted the urge to kick him.
He said coldly: "I don't care who he is, but since he has a marriage contract, it's inappropriate for you, Mu Yu, to get too close to him. As for Wu Lie, you sold your sister for one thousand taels. It's over, you find a time to ask Su Wen to come home, and after this meal, stay away from that kid, he doesn't have any good intentions!"
Wu Muyu pouted secretly, disapproving.
Su Wen had a meal with Zhao Wanrou, and the two chatted for a while, then Zhao Wanrou said goodbye and left.
After leaving the Su residence, a trace of disappointment flashed in her eyes.
Sit in the carriage and look out the window.
She couldn't help being a little confused. She liked Su Wen, but she didn't know if she and Su Wen had a future.
Yan Luoying and Wu Muyu are both the daughters of generals, although in terms of identity, it seems that she is the princess who is better.
But she knew very well that a princess like her did not hold a high position in Emperor Zhou's heart.
Especially now, the marriage contract between Yan Luoying and Su Wen was not terminated even after Emperor Zhou opened his mouth, which showed that Yan Luoying held a very important position in Emperor Zhou's heart.
It's the dissolution of the engagement... and Wu Muyu...
The more I thought about it, the more helpless I became, and in the end I could only sigh.
At noon the next day, Su Wen got up, and it was raining lightly outside.
"Zhao Jin... prepare the car!"
Su Wen is ready to go out.
But when he came to the door, Su Wen suddenly found that Chu River had disappeared.
"Where's Chuhe?"
Su Wen asked.
Zhao Jin said truthfully: "Chuhe sent a letter of challenge to Meng Zhiping, the chief kendo instructor in Gyeonggi-do, and today we made an appointment to go to the northern suburbs for a decisive battle! I went out by myself this morning."
Su Wen said angrily, "Why didn't you tell me?"
Zhao Jin smiled bitterly and said, "Master, it's not that I don't want to say it, it's that Chu He refused to tell you. He said that he and Meng Zhiping will have to divide life and death in a decisive battle. Master, you have a special status. If you go to watch the battle, Meng Zhiping will definitely have something to say." Be scruples, the sword will be weaker by three points, he won't win by force."
Su Wen sneered: "Nonsense, my man, even if he loses, he can't be killed!"
Zhao Jin looked at Su Wen, and said seriously: "Master, Chuhe is different from me, no matter how hard I try, I will be a ninth-rank status if I do more, but Chuhe has a chance to enter the heaven, if you really For his own good, he must be truly tempered."
Su Wen pondered for a while, and said, "Then you have to follow along, what if someone else plays tricks?"
At this moment, a figure appeared in the distance.
Walking in slowly from the rain, Su Wen took a closer look and saw that it was Chu River.
But at this moment, he looked a little embarrassed.
There were dozens of wounds on his body, large and small, and they were all bleeding.
It can be seen that the battle was brutal.
After approaching, Su Wen saw that there was also a sword wound on his throat. Although the wound was not deep, it was obvious that life and death were on the line.
"Win?" Su Wen asked.
"Won!"
"Where's the opponent?"
"died!"
Su Wen looked at Chuhe and said, "Go back and take a good rest."
"good!"
The battle of Chuhe obviously consumed a lot of energy.
The whole person looked a little sluggish.
But he remained straight.
Watching him go in, Zhao Jin was a little worried: "If Chuhe killed Meng Zhiping, there won't be any trouble, right?"
Su Wen smiled and said: "What trouble can there be? According to the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty, as long as the two sides agree to a decisive battle between warriors, they will be responsible for life and death. In Meng Zhiping's decisive battle with Chuhe, he deserves his death. Chuhe is not an upright battle book ?"
Zhao Jin shook his head and said: "The letter of war is written in a fair manner. This Meng Zhiping is a little different. He is in the government, but he has a lot of friends and is quite righteous. Even in the Jianghu, he has a high reputation. Although warriors duel However, when Meng Zhiping died, how could his family members let it go? How could his old friends and brothers let him go?"
Su Wen frowned, what he said was true.
If anyone kills Su Changqing, no matter whether he is fighting openly or not, Su Wen will definitely use all means to retaliate.
"Go, tell me to go down, find someone to send one hundred thousand taels of silver to Meng Zhiping's family! Right to make compensation!"
In fact, Su Wen also knows that sometimes this matter is nonsense.
For example, Meng Zhiping, who lived a good life, came up to a challenge, but he agreed and was slaughtered, looking extremely innocent.
But this is how the world is.
Who made you agree to a decisive battle.
Of course no one can do anything.
If he was a coward and refused to accept the challenge, it would be impossible for Chuhe to kill him.
But no matter what, for Meng Zhiping's family, this is an extremely sad thing.
At Meng Zhiping's home, he was lying in a coffin.
Compared with Chuhe's embarrassment, Meng Zhiping was much better. There was no scar on his body, only a little blush between his eyebrows, and he was killed by Chuhe's sword energy entering his brain.
The coffin is placed in the hall, surrounded by family members.
"Father! Why did you die like this!"
"My lord! What shall we do!"
"Wooooow!"
The house was full of mourning.
At this time, a middle-aged man rushed in.
"Big brother! Big brother!" he cried loudly.
Meng Wei, the son of Meng Zhiping in the courtyard, stood up and shouted, "Uncle Yao, you've come! You want to avenge my father!"
Yao Gu's eyes flashed fiercely, and he asked sharply, "Who killed Big Brother!?"
Meng Wei picked up Chuhe's letter of challenge, handed it to Yao Gu, and said, "This is the person!"
Yao Gu took the challenge letter, only to see it read.
"Chuhe, the last student, has practiced swordsmanship for many years. I heard that you are the instructor of swordsmanship in Gyeonggi Province. Your swordsmanship is superb. Please fight with your Excellency. There is no winner or loser in this battle. It is only a matter of life and death. Please don't be careless. Chuhe worships !"
In this post, there is awe-inspiring sword spirit. It is obvious that Chuhe is showing his strength.
It was precisely because of this that Meng Zhiping agreed to this duel.
