He has a good reputation as a scholar. If Cheng Sangong accepts the contest with Gu Qiancheng, even if he wins, others will not say that he is good. Instead, they will say that he is narrow-minded and cares about a woman. But if he loses, others will say that he is good.
Not even as good as a woman.
Young Master Cheng couldn't answer this challenge, but he couldn't refuse it outright. But before he could figure out how to refuse without offending King Qin, everyone in the capital was talking about his contest with Gu Qiancheng. The streets and alleys were filled with posters about Gu Qiancheng.
Qiancheng's declaration of war gave Master Cheng no chance to say no.
"What exactly is King Qin going to do? Have our Gu family offended him?" Mr. Cheng San is a smart person, and smart people have many ideas in their minds. He does not think this is Gu Qiancheng's simple challenge to him. This matter must be related to King Qin.
.
"When did our family offend the King of Qin? Our family has always been impartial and only loyal to the emperor. We have also avoided the overtures of several princes. At most, you and Wanqihou Mansion are closer." Young Master Cheng said.
He must be frank, which made Mr. Cheng extremely angry, "My dealings with the young master of Marquis Wanqi are just a matter of friendship between gentlemen, and have nothing to do with our Cheng family."
"If it's not this, then what is it?" Mr. Cheng is tall and tall, and has great boxing and kicking skills, but he doesn't like to think too much. He is a typical child from a military general's family.
Third Young Master Cheng was too lazy to discuss with his eldest brother, so he went to find his grandfather, General Cheng, with a letter of war written by Gu Qiancheng himself.
General Cheng is always getting stronger and stronger, and he is wearing a kung fu uniform and has a calm atmosphere. At this time, he is practicing boxing outside the yard. Every punch is powerful and powerful, and the fists bring wind.
Mr. Cheng did not dare to disturb him when he came over. He stood aside obediently and waited for General Cheng to finish practicing his boxing before he stepped forward and briefly explained the matter.
"Prince Qin's palace is making a fight on behalf of the eldest daughter of the Gu family?" Old General Cheng took the handed towel and wiped his sweat, then threw it to the person behind him. "Did you check why?" Old General Cheng didn't think that King Qin
His Highness was bored and found trouble with the Cheng family. The Cheng family was not the weaklings of the Gu family who could be manipulated by others.
"No." Young Master Cheng lowered his head, "Our family has always been loyal to the Emperor. My father just got the position of the camp in the suburbs of Beijing some time ago. There is no reason to offend the King of Qin."
"If you haven't offended the King of Qin, how can you offend the Gu family?" General Cheng is a rough man and he doesn't think about things too complicated.
The third young master Cheng thought for a moment and shook his head, but the young man behind General Cheng stepped forward and whispered: "Master, third young master, the general beat the eldest son of the Gu family yesterday in the army."
"Father beat a member of the Gu family?" Mr. Cheng Sangong was stunned for a moment, then became confused again, "Father beat a member of the Gu family, what does it have to do with the King of Qin? Also, my father is a general, and the young master of the Gu family is in the army, that's me.
My father’s soldiers, what’s wrong with my father beating him?”
That’s right!
So instead of looking for trouble with General Cheng, Gu Qiancheng looked for trouble with Mr. Cheng.
General Cheng was Gu Chenghuan's superior. He did nothing wrong by teaching Gu Chenghuan a lesson. His biggest mistake was that he struck too hard. However, this would not do anything to General Cheng. At most, he would be scolded.
Again, Gu Chenghuan's legs are not broken. No matter how harshly General Cheng strikes, others will not think he is at fault. Casualties are inevitable when soldiers are trained, so why? Other people's children can be injured, but your Gu family's children cannot.
Injuried?
If the children of the Gu family are so valuable, they should get out of the military camp as soon as possible.
Gu Qiancheng was very aware of these twists and turns. Even though she promised Cheng Huan to investigate the bow and arrow problem, she never thought of taking the initiative to investigate. She would let the Cheng family take the initiative to investigate.
Of course, the premise is that the Cheng family should not be too stupid. Fortunately, even if the rest of the Cheng family are not smart, General Cheng is definitely smart. He immediately sent someone to call General Cheng and asked him about the cause and effect.
If you don't ask, you don't know. When asked, General Cheng jumped up in anger. "Idiot, you big idiot, why do I have a son like you? It's such a disgrace to me."
General Cheng was quite old but in good health. The tiles on the roof shook with his roar.
General Cheng was a tall and tall soldier, but when Old General Cheng yelled at him, he shrank in fright, "Dad, why did I embarrass you? Didn't I just stay in the army so well? Why did I embarrass you again?"
"General Cheng, that's a grievance.
In fact, he felt aggrieved about Gu Chenghuan. How could he have known that Gu Chenghuan could not help but hit, and his bones would be broken with just one shot. He was not so brave on the battlefield.
"You still don't know where you are embarrassed? You idiot." Old General Cheng was too lazy to pay attention to him. He turned back to look at Young Master Cheng: "Qingzhou, tell your father where he went wrong."
Cheng Qingzhou, the third son of Cheng, did not dare to say that his father was at fault. When my dear grandfather spoke, he could only say honestly, "Dad, you were used as a weapon. No matter how stupid Mr. Gu is, he will not kill his colleagues in public.
The bow he used must have been tampered with, otherwise the arrow would not have missed that point. In addition, you allowed those people to urinate on Young Master Gu's head. This is too unethical. Although our family has no friendship with the Gu family,
But in the capital, you don't bow your head, you are such a bitch's child, what do you make the Gu family think?" This is simply a slap in the face, no one can swallow this tone.
"What do you think? What do they dare to think?" General Cheng never thought that he was wrong. "It's a minor offense to kill your colleagues in the army and have someone pee on your head. Besides, it doesn't matter if I just beat the eldest son of the Gu family.
So, just because those weaklings from the Gu family dare to fight back?"
Qin Jiyan was right. General Cheng had no qualms about using Gu Chenghuan to establish his power because the Gu family was too weak and he was not worried about the Gu family's counterattack.
Third Young Master Cheng held his forehead with a headache, "Father, no matter how cowardly the Gu family is, there is a limit. Now they have fought back. Otherwise, why do you think the eldest daughter of the Gu family would compete with her son?"
There are thousands of scholars, and in terms of talent, knowledge, and reputation, I am nothing in the capital. How come the eldest lady of the Gu family is chosen to compete with me?
The Gu family came to the door at this time, and they made it clear that they wanted to tell our Cheng family and others that our Cheng family had bullied the young master of the Gu family, and now she is unhappy and wants to bully her back."
After Cheng Sangong learned what happened, he was no longer angry about Qiancheng's challenge. If it were him, he would have used the same method.
If you can't even protect your own family, no matter how powerful you are, it's nothing.
"Then, what should we do about this matter? How about I go and tell King Qin that I was responsible for this matter. The grievances have their names and the debts have their owners. Let the Gu family find me." General Cheng scratched his head, a little confused.
He doesn't understand. What does it have to do with his son if he beats the eldest son of the Gu family? If the Gu family wants revenge, can't they go to him?
General Cheng and Third Young Master Cheng looked at the sky speechlessly. In the end, Third Young Master Cheng couldn't bear the struggle of his father, so he tried to calm down his tone and said comfortingly: "Father, this matter is not something you can do whatever you want. Your Highness, King Qin, comes out.
After all, the matter will not be settled so easily. You'd better find out who changed the bow used by Young Master Gu and find the culprit. In this way, someone will join us to share the Gu family's anger.
"
"Are we going to be as submissive as the Gu family?"
General Cheng will never accept it. The Gu family is nothing, a family that relies on women to make a living. What do the Cheng family fear?
