Chapter 6 Ye Zheng: I was young and ignorant, and my subordinates didn’t know how to handle things.
A crude and clumsy way of provoking someone!
Except for a few dandies who had grown up in luxury and were surrounded by flattery, few people present did not hear it.
Not to mention, those old hands who had experienced the ups and downs in the officialdom, they instantly understood Ye Zheng’s other intention.
Qin Heng and Qin Feng looked at each other.
Is this... an attempt to drag the Qin family into this?
Are you sure that the Qin family will step in to stop this fight?
Or do you have real skills and feel you have a sure win?
However, think about it again, after Ye Zheng said this today, whether the Qin family will be punished or not, people with ulterior motives will always find a way to criticize them in the future.
Let's end it. The Qin family has no way of entertaining guests. Even if the Qing Kingdom respects martial arts, would they resort to violence with the guests on the old lady's birthday?
If they don't take action, the Qin family won't even be afraid of a young man who can't even tie his hair!
After hesitating for a moment, he inadvertently gave Qin Feng a look, and the latter understood and remained silent.
These thoughtful people are keeping their troops in place, but...
"You're rude!"
"How dare you bully me, the Qin family, who has no one?"
"The Third Young Master is really frivolous!"
"... "
That's right, he is full of hot-bloodedness, straightforwardness and can't stand provocation.
The method of provoking someone is crude and crude, and it also depends on the person who uses it. If no one in the Qin family responds to a young man like him saying this, it is either that the Qin family is united and truly enforces orders; or, it is true that everyone in the Qin family is deep-minded today and can suppress their emotions with reason.
There were voices of rebuke from the crowd, some even pushed through the crowd and walked straight forward.
Look at these people, some are big and strong, some are thin and dark, none of them is easy to get along with.
Ye Zheng's expression became even more 'angry'. He raised his chin slightly and glanced over, "How about it? Do you want to fight together? Or a round-robin battle? The banquet is about to start, why not just pick a seventh- or eighth-rank warrior and beat them quickly."
As for his face, when he starts to mock his homosexuals, the effect is really great.
There was a deep silence in the flower hall.
"Insanity!"
"What a loud tone!"
"Why do you need the seventh or eighth rank? I'll do it!"
"... "
The Qin clan members expressed their discontent again.
Hearing this, Qin Heng was stunned for a moment. After thinking for a while, he said to Ye Zhong half-concernedly and half-tentatively, "Brother, is Brother Zheng really practicing martial arts?"
A hint of surprise flashed across Ye Zhong's brows. "The garrison division has been busy lately, and I haven't asked about Zheng'er's situation for a long time."
What he said was half true and half false, and it was difficult to tell the difference.
Is this so...
Qin Heng was a little hesitant again.
This kid is quite arrogant. He says that he wants to buy any random person from the seventh or eighth rank. Are the seventh or eighth rank so worthless?
only…
If I really ask an eighth-rank person to compete with him...
I’m afraid there will be more criticism in the future!
Could it be that... there is another Ye Wan in the Ye family?
Oh, how hateful!
There is too little information, and this guy looks a little slippery!
It was difficult for Qin Heng to make a decision immediately. He gritted his teeth and exchanged glances with Qin Feng.
Ye Zhong saw everything.
He suddenly remembered his youngest son's vulgar opinion on "martial arts": There are no ravines in front of a tiger, but there are obstacles in front of a coward.
It's quite appropriate for Qin Heng to be like this at this moment. Hesitating and scheming, it's difficult for him to make progress on the road of martial arts!
In the end, Ye Zheng, a seventh-rank Qin Hong from the Qin family, the sixth-rank Young Master Yang from Xiuguo Mansion, and another person, who was not Xu Yuan, the internal accomplice who fanned the flames in Yang Li's group of yamen, made the excuse of "the rank was too low and it was embarrassing", and finally the five sons of the seventh-rank Earl of Zhongqin advanced together.
Like the Ye Mansion, the Qin Mansion also has a martial arts hall, which is obviously much larger than the Ye Mansion. There were censors among the guests at the banquet, but... they all pretended not to see anything.
Just as Xu Yuan said, in Qing Kingdom, it is common for warriors to compete with each other.
Perhaps the civil officials had not had much interest in it originally, but today's scene involved several forces, and they all flocked into the Qin family's martial arts hall.
Qin Ye, who returned home late due to the busy affairs of the Privy Council, was shocked when he learned about this.
Too reckless, too crude!
"Uncle is truly a most trusted minister of Daqing. On the old lady's birthday, he still abides by his duty. No wonder His Majesty praises him. I, your nephew, am ashamed to be inferior to him." Although Ye Zhong has a burly figure and a stern aura, he can still come up with some words to put pressure on others.
Qin Ye smiled twice and poked Qin Heng beside him with a fierce look.
But he just smiled apologetically.
Now that things have come to this, let’s talk about other things after the competition.
"Who will come first, three of you?" Served by the accompanying servants, Ye Zheng took off his robe, changed into shorts, and walked towards the center of the courtyard of the martial arts hall while exercising his wrists. It could not even be called a courtyard, but a small open-air square surrounded by corridors.
Yang Li and Qin Hong from the Qin family were both eager to make a move, so Qi Jin bowed without rushing and said, "Why don't you choose one of us, Third Young Master?"
"So polite?" Ye Zheng smiled and relaxed his eyebrows. He didn't pick anyone first. He looked around and finally looked at the three of them. He said loudly, "Three of you, I have something to say before the competition."
"Brother Zheng, don't worry. I know what I'm doing and I'll stop when it's time." Yang Li thought he was timid, so he spoke first, smiling confidently.
Qin Hong of the Qin family remained silent and said nothing.
Qi Jin made a "please" gesture. Ye Zheng smiled and said, "I am young and ignorant, and I don't know how to handle things. I have never sparred with anyone, but I have a master at home who has practiced with me. If I hurt any of you during the fight today, please forgive me."
These words...
Although he is arrogant, he is quite polite and knows to say hello in advance.
Can…
Yang Li, Qin Hong and Qi Jin were all stunned and remained silent.
"Although the tiger is young, it already has the courage to eat cows. Well, not bad, not bad." In front of the main hall of the martial arts hall, Qin Ye stroked his beard and sighed.
Those who know, know that this old fellow is setting a trap; those who don’t know would think that he is trying to smooth things over for the third son of the Ye family.
Ye Chong was calm and indifferent, and did not respond.
Looking at Yang Li and the other two on the sidelines, they all smiled.
Forget it, the kid is arrogant and ignorant, let him show his true colors.
"In that case, thank you Third Young Master for your advice. We will do our best." Qi Jin said indifferently, but his eyes were ready to take action.
Yang Li and Qin Hong did not even try to hide their desire. They were rubbing their hands and staring at Ye Zheng intently: Choose me, choose me~
"Yeah, very energetic!" Ye Zheng smiled and praised, still in a relaxed tone, his eyes fell on the one in the middle of the three people, "The Qin family is the host today, so please let Brother Qin Shi give you some advice first."
Qin Hong clasped his fists in return and said in a muffled voice, "I don't deserve it."
Loosening his hands, he clenched his fists slightly and walked slowly towards the center of the patio. With every step he took, his aura grew heavier.
In the corridor on the sidelines, Qin Heng narrowed his eyes slightly, and his gaze was more focused on the two people on the field.
Qin Hong is a descendant of a branch of the Qin family. He has been trained in the army for ten years and was promoted to the fifth rank of Wu Xiaowei and the Yuhou of the Beijing Camp, which is by no means comparable to an ordinary seventh rank.
If Qin Hong can't take down this guy, the remaining two will just be extras.
"You're really not nervous at all. Be careful that your sister-in-law might miss you when she goes back!" Si Nanbo Fan Jian whispered behind Ye Chong.
Since entering Qin's house, Si Nanbo hardly spoke a word. He didn't even take the seat that had been arranged earlier, but instead found a second seat.
Ye Chong turned his head and glanced at him, and said softly, "I wonder how Zheng'er and niece Ruoruo see each other?"
Fan Jian rolled his eyes and asked in vain!
He returned his gaze to the field.
Qin Hong gathered his momentum and stepped into the appropriate attack distance.
But Ye Zheng didn't even mention the slightest bit of true energy.
Qin Hong has always had a violent temper.
A trace of hostility flashed across Qin Hong's eyes, his true energy burst out, and his figure quickly rushed towards Ye Zheng.
When the distance is more suitable, raise your right arm to the ribs and pull your clenched fist back suddenly.
Obviously, this was a very simple punch without any frills.
At the moment Qin Hong's fist thrust out, Ye Zheng stepped forward with his left leg, slightly bent his right knee, leaned his whole body backward, stretched out his left arm, and put his right palm at his waist.
"Oh!"
Ye Zheng blocked with his left arm and directly pushed away his right fist. Qin Hong was already horrified. How could he be so strong? Why didn't he use his true energy?
This is impossible!
While the shock was still in his heart, a hand as white as jade swung at the edge of his left eye's vision at a speed that was difficult for him to see with his current eyesight, and it seemed to land... on his shoulder.
Chop and hang punch, roll and chop through palm!
"Oh!"
Another sound.
"What did you say?"
When Liu Ruyu heard the news from the maid, she didn't pay attention and the porcelain spoon in her hand fell to the ground and broke into several pieces.
"What's wrong? Ruyu."
"You didn't hurt your hand?"
"Quick, change Sister Ruyu into a new one."
"... "
Concern was heard everywhere.
Cui Yan, who was sitting next to Liu Ruyu, also looked over. She had noticed when the maid from Fan's house came hurriedly. When Liu Ruyu dropped the porcelain spoon, she obviously glanced at her.
I guess it has something to do with her family.
After the new chopsticks, plates and spoons were replaced, everyone continued to drink and talk. Cui Yan leaned to the side, covered his mouth with a handkerchief, and asked softly, "Did something happen up ahead?"
Liu Ruyu nodded slightly, and when she was about to speak, another maidservant of hers came hurriedly. Liu Ruyu quickly gave the other officials' families an apologetic look. After all, the masters were having a banquet, and it would be inappropriate for servants to disturb them frequently if they were not there to serve them food.
"Really?"
After the maid whispered in her ear, Liu Ruyu's face immediately turned from gloomy to sunny.
Please vote for me, please read it, please collect it~
