Chapter 452 Hujia Village

(New and old versions of Hu Sanniang)

(Old version of Hu Sanniang)

"My brother is young and ignorant, and he offended you, Mr. Yuanwailang. I hope you can forgive me." Seeing that Zhu Biao had ruined the situation, Zhu Long hurriedly tried to dissuade him and apologized to Lu Cheng.

Although Zhujiazhuang has the support of the government, their backer is just a minor official. How can he be compared with Lu Cheng?

However, Lu Cheng would not tolerate such a provocation, and he immediately said, "Master Luan, when teaching people martial arts, you should also teach them morality. Don't let the children have brute force but not know the immensity of heaven and earth."

Luan Tingyu also apologized repeatedly: "Yuanwailang is right, it's all my fault for not disciplining and teaching my children properly."

Lu Cheng was a distinguished guest of Lijiazhuang. He was humiliated here. Li Ying's face was not good either. "Coach Luan, nephew Zhu Long, you don't have to stop him. I will teach this ignorant boy a lesson today on behalf of Brother Zhu."

Luan Tingyu and Zhu Long wanted to pull Zhu Biao back, but Zhu Biao was really angry, especially when he heard that Lu Cheng and Li Ying treated him as an ignorant child. He was so angry that he said, "Hmph, hit me if you want! Who have I ever hit before? Let me see how capable your Flying Eagle is."

Then, the two of them walked outside, and Zhu Long and Luan Tingyu followed behind, constantly apologizing to Lu Cheng.

The Hu family brothers and sisters looked at each other and followed silently.

In fact, although the three villages on Dulonggang are allies, they are not so harmonious internally.

After all, the territory of Dulonggang is so small, and the Zhu family occupies the best position, with strong troops and horses, and they are still thinking about expanding. Zhu Biao wants to marry Hu Sanniang, and the Zhu family also intends to annex Hujia Village.

If it weren't for the external enemy Liangshanpo, the alliance of the three families would probably have broken up long ago.

After several people arrived at the training ground, Li Ying and Zhu Biao didn't waste any time, took out their weapons, and started fighting.

Li Ying was skilled in spearmanship and had rich experience, while Zhu Biao was naturally strong and had a brave spirit, so the fight was evenly matched at the beginning.

But in less than twenty moves, Li Ying suppressed Zhu Biao and almost knocked the weapon out of Zhu Biao's hand.

Zhu Biao was confused for a moment and barely managed to hold on for three or five moves before Li Ying shot him in the back and made him fall to the ground.

Li Ying snorted coldly: "You are so arrogant at such a young age. Today I will teach you a lesson."

Zhu Biao was knocked to the ground, still a little unconvinced, but was stopped by Luan Tingyu and Zhu Long: "Yuanwailang, Master Li, we were very rude today. We will come to your house to apologize in the future. Please forgive us."

Li Ying shook his head: "Today, for the sake of Master Luan, I will spare him for now. We, Lijiazhuang, do not welcome those who disrespect their elders."

"Mr. Li, I will take my leave now."

After the people from Zhujia Manor left, Li Ying put on a smiling face again: "Master Lu, I apologize to you on behalf of the Zhu family."

"Master Li, you are too polite. It was the people from Zhujiazhuang who were rude first. What does it have to do with you?"

Hu Cheng also said, "The third son of the Zhu family is really too rude to address an elder like Uncle Li by his first name."

At this moment, Hu Sanniang stood up and bowed to Lu Cheng: "Master Lu, I have heard of your great name for a long time and have always admired you. I also know a few sword techniques, I wonder if you can give me some pointers?"

Although it was also a challenge, Hu Sanniang's words were much more appropriate.

Hu Cheng, who was standing by, heard this and quickly said, "Little sister, please don't be rude."

Lu Cheng waved his hand: "It's okay. When it comes to swordsmanship, I am also quite skilled. I will fight with you for a few moves."

"This, my little sister is rude..."

Li Ying held Hu Cheng back and laughed, "Master Lu is an expert in spearmanship, but I didn't know he's also proficient in swordsmanship. I'd like to see him for myself."

Lu Cheng took a single sword from the weapon rack beside him and casually made a sword flower: "Miss Hu, please."

Hu Sanniang also drew out two single swords from her waist. One sword had a broad back and a thick blade, and the other sword had a slender and slightly curved blade, shaped like a crescent moon. These were the Sun and Moon double swords that made her famous.

"Master Lu, please."

After saying that, Hu Sanniang touched her two swords together and attacked Lu Cheng from the front and the back.

Lu Cheng took his time and swung his sword to block the opponent's first attack. Then he used the back of the sword to block the opponent's second attack.

With just one move, anyone with a discerning eye can see the difference.

Seeing that Lu Cheng blocked her attack so easily, Hu Sanniang immediately used all her strength. She turned her body, swept both swords, and attacked Lu Cheng with all her might.

Lu Cheng dodged this fierce move by leaning sideways, and then transferred the knife from his right hand to his left hand. Then he put his right palm together like a knife and gently slashed Hu Sanniang's shoulder. He smiled and said, "Miss Hu, if you encounter an enemy you know you can't defeat, you will be more likely to reveal your flaws and lose faster if you rashly try your best."

Hu Sanniang took two steps back and sheathed her sword: "I can't beat you, no matter how many moves I use, I can't beat you, I might as well fight with all my strength. Thank you, Master Lu, for your guidance."

Seeing that the two of them were not injured after the competition, Hu Cheng breathed a sigh of relief: "Little sister, Master Lu is so famous that you are no match for him. Are you completely convinced this time? You, a girl, wield a spear and a stick like a man all day long, aren't you afraid of being laughed at?"

Lu Cheng smiled slightly: "Girls can also practice martial arts to strengthen their bodies, and they are not necessarily worse than boys. Isn't there Hua Mulan who joined the army for her father?"

Hu Sanniang's eyes lit up when she heard this: "Does Master Lu really think so?"

"Of course, Miss Hu's martial arts skills are better than most men."

Everyone chatted and laughed and returned to the house. Hu Sanniang would always look at Lu Cheng inadvertently. He was handsome, had great martial arts skills, and respected women. He was many times stronger than those men, and his conversation was so elegant.

At noon, Li Ying invited the Hu brothers and sisters to stay and have lunch together.

After leaving Lijiazhuang in the afternoon, Hu Cheng turned to his sister and said, "Sanniang, what do you think of the owner of the Lu manor?"

"He's very good, and very skilled in martial arts."

"That's not what I'm talking about. If... I mean if, I let you marry this Manor Master Lu, what do you think?"

"Brother~what are you talking about?"

No matter how generous Hu Sanniang was, she couldn't help feeling shy when talking about her lifelong affairs.

Seeing his sister like this, Hu Cheng also laughed: "It seems that my sister's intentions are very clear."

In the afternoon, Lu Cheng and Li Ying talked about Liangshan again: "Master Li, your Dulonggang is right at the foot of Liangshan Lake. If the bandits of Liangshan Lake want to continue to expand outward, or want to rob property in the future, they will inevitably attack your Dulonggang. This Zhu family doesn't seem to be very reliable. If you encounter trouble in the future, you can send someone to Lujiazhuang."

"Thank you for your kindness, Master Lu. If it really comes to that, I will go and seek refuge with Master Lu."

Afterwards, Lu Cheng reminded Li Ying to be careful of Wu Yong and others on Liangshan Marsh.

As for Zhujiazhuang, let them fight to the death with Liangshan.

On the other hand, after Hu Cheng returned home with his sister, he immediately told Hu Lao Taigong everything that happened today, and said, "Father, today Zhu Biao dared to offend Yuanwailang. If we advance and retreat together with Zhujiazhuang in the future, I am afraid we will be implicated by them and cause trouble.

In my opinion, we should marry my younger sister to that official. If we have him as our backer, we won't be afraid of Zhu Family Manor. Moreover, Lu Family Manor has only been established for a few years and has become the largest manor in the entire Jizhou Prefecture. If we can establish a relationship with him, we only need to get a little bit of benefits and we will be able to enjoy endless benefits. "

Upon hearing this, Master Hu nodded repeatedly: "My son's words make sense. That Mr. Lu is an official in the court, and even more so a favorite of the current emperor. Your sister is a country girl, and it may not be easy for her to marry him as a wife. If she marries him as a concubine, I'm afraid your sister will not agree."

"Father, isn't it you who decides my sister's marriage? As long as you say the word, she won't be able to disagree."

"Well, for the sake of our Hu family, I have no choice but to let your sister suffer. Go and call Sanniang over."

"Yes, father."
