Chapter 161 Su Qingyue’s Good Match

Chapter 161 Su Qingyue’s Good Match

"Su Qingyue, betroth... to me?"

Chu Tang initially thought he was hearing hallucinations.

It wasn't until he looked at Tao Ying in confusion and found that she was serious and not joking that he realized that this was absolutely true.

His whole body was numb.

What a bad idea!

Chu Tang admitted that Su Qingyue was very good-looking and could be considered a beauty, but she was only fifteen or sixteen years old!

Is this asking him to commit a crime?

Besides, he only admired Su Qingyue's beauty, but he really didn't have any feelings for her between man and woman in his heart.

The most incomprehensible thing is that he only met Su Hong once. How could a dignified prefect of a county entrust his daughter to a warrior?

Is there such a thing as a father?

"Are you shocked and reluctant?" What was strange about Tao Ying was Chu Tang's attitude.

Chu Tang smiled bitterly.

He is willing to give the hammer!

In this life, what he is focused on is whether he can reach the pinnacle of martial arts and become a top strong man. He has no other thoughts and time to engage in male and female affairs.

Women, haha, will only affect the speed at which he draws his sword!

Besides, even if he needs a partner, he is looking for someone who can support him along the way.

To be fair, Su Qingyue didn't know martial arts and was still weak. If she really followed Chu Tang, she would be a complete burden!

Of course, he thought so, but Chu Tang didn't dare to say it in front of Tao Ying. It was too slap in the face and too insulting.

After thinking for a while, Chu Tang said carefully: "Dean Tao, are you sure Mr. Su didn't write the wrong name? Maybe the son-in-law he wants is someone else, but he just wrote it wrong for a while."

"Huh?" Tao Ying glanced at Chu Tang, "Your excuse is too lame! Su Hong, the magistrate of a county, and his own daughter's important life event, will get it wrong for the wrong person? Have you made a mistake!"

Tao Ying was unhappy.

She could tell that Chu Tang was extremely reluctant to have anything to do with Su Qingyue.

Although she also felt that the two of them were not suitable for each other, she had watched Su Qingyue grow up and regarded her as a daughter. It was fine that she did not dislike the man, but the man disliked her daughter?

Chu Tang opened his mouth and was speechless.

Tao Ying added: "Su Hong also introduced your situation in the letter. If it wasn't you, who else could it be?"

Chu Tang couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "Prefect Su is too hasty!"

"Yes! I also think he is unreliable!" Tao Ying shared the same hatred.

"Huh?" Chu Tang looked away. What did you mean? Why did he feel that the other person looked at him as if he wanted to put flowers on cow dung?

Who are you looking down on?

Besides, it’s hard to tell who is the flowers and who is the cow dung!

Resisting the urge to complain, Chu Tang could only agree: "So, Dean Tao, you should write back and scold Prefect Su severely, asking him to take back his life and do something reliable!"

"I've already... wait a minute!" Tao Ying reacted, her sharp gaze focused on Chu Tang, her brows furrowed and her face displeased, "What do you mean, you rejected Su Hong's proposal?"

Chu Tang didn't squint his eyes and said bravely: "Miss Su is a daughter of a well-known family, and Mr. Chu is just a small catcher. How can he keep up with her? Isn't that to wrong her! This is absolutely impossible! Dean Tao , you have to make a serious complaint to Dean Tao, and you must not let him marry off your daughter. A father would never cheat his daughter like this!"

"Pfft!"

Tao Ying's originally stern face suddenly couldn't help but burst into laughter, a belly-laughing one that almost brought tears to her eyes.

After a long while, Tao Yingcai stopped laughing, pointed at Chu Tang and said: "You are so funny, you are so funny. Before I even said anything, you reduced yourself to dust. You are as afraid of the clear moon as a tiger!" "

Chu Tang said seriously: "How can it be fear? Chu is out of respect. Dean Tao, think about it, Miss Su is a gentle person who only loves poetry and articles; Chu is a rough person who only loves poetry and articles." He knows how to wield a knife and a gun. We both have no common hobbies and can't even talk about anything, so how can we get along with each other?"

"Yeah." Tao Ying nodded, "You're right, I think so too."

"Uh..." Chu Tang was slightly dazed, thinking, is this so rude? I'm going to belittle myself, but it's better for you to follow the stick when you hit a snake. You're not polite at all when you're sarcastic.

Chu Tang bravely agreed again: "As for how to resolve the issue with Prefect Su, I'll ask Dean Tao for help."

Tao Ying nodded first, then asked curiously: "You don't like Qingyue at all? She is very popular in our academy. She is talented and pretty, and has many suitors."

Chu Tang said seriously: "Chu is obsessed with martial arts and has no other focus."

Tao Ying clapped her hands and praised: "I did not misjudge you. That's why I said just now, you will definitely not agree. I have long seen your yearning for the peak of martial arts. Also, if you don't have a progressive heart, You practice hard day and night, but at your age, how can you reach where you are now?"

Chu Tang frowned and asked: "Dean Tao obviously thinks so, was it just to entertain Mr. Chu?"

Tao Ying shook her head and said honestly: "I'm just unhappy with your attitude towards Qingyue. Although I know you are not suitable, you flatly refused. I am very protective of you, but I can't help but say a few words to you."

Chu Tang was dumbfounded. It was hard for him to say anything since he was so frank.

Tao Ying smiled and asked, "Do you know why Su Hong arranged this?"

Chu Tang shook his head.

This was also the strangest thing about him. The two of them had only met once. Why did Su Hong fall in love with him?

A dignified prefect of a county and a son of a well-established family were looking for a son-in-law. There were so many suitable candidates, so why would he choose a powerless young catcher under his command?

High in martial arts?

Don't be kidding, he, Chu Tang, has always only shown the realm of the Four Realms to the outside world. As long as Su Hong releases the news in Qingcheng that he wants to find a husband for Su Qingyue, most of them will be about the same age as Chu Tang, but their martial arts realm is higher. But young talents who are not as good as him flock to him.

Good looking?

Well, Mr. Chu thinks he can compete with the ancient "mediocre" ones, but all the handsome men in the world are gone. Is he so handsome that it will shock the heavens and make the gods cry?

Even if Chu Tang cracked his head, he still couldn't figure out why Su Hong's mind was so clear and he could pull off such a ridiculous operation.

Tao Ying's face gradually became serious and he said: "Actually, if I think about it carefully, I probably understand what he is thinking. He just wants Qingyue to get out of the vortex of the Su and Cheng family in Qingcheng as soon as possible."

"Ah?" Chu Tang said he didn't understand.

Tao Ying explained: "The Su and Cheng families have been rooted in Qingcheng for hundreds of years, and they have been inextricably linked to all the forces in Qingcheng. If Qingyue can find a well-matched husband's family in Qingcheng, she will eventually be To fall into the turmoil between the two major families would still be a bad outcome for Qingyue, who does not know martial arts."

Chu Tang disagreed and said: "Then find a scholar who studies and becomes an official. Miss Su is good at this anyway."

Tao Ying said angrily: "Why do you think Su Hong asked Qingyue to return to Qingcheng Academy at this time? It's because he is not good at martial arts and has no confidence to protect his wife and daughter even in Gui County! How dare he let Qingyue return to Qingcheng Academy at this time? Marry a weak scholar who is powerless!"

Chu Tang was slightly startled, frowned and said, "Is the situation so embarrassing?"

Tao Ying sighed: "The centuries-old dispute between the Su and Cheng families has resulted in many casualties on both sides. It has reached the point where it is difficult to reconcile."

"Even Dean Tao, you can see their tense relationship. Others must also be aware of it. The government doesn't care?" Chu Tang couldn't imagine it. "It's really a big mess. I'm afraid it won't be easy to deal with!"

Tao Ying sneered: "The government? The government wants them to beat them to death!"

"Huh?" Chu Tang was even more puzzled.

Tao Ying glanced at Chu Tang and said: "For hundreds of years, the Su and Cheng family have had some people enter the officialdom. For example, Su Hong's status in Liangzhou is not low. But after all, they are a family of martial arts, and more of a martial arts family. The behavior of middle-aged people. Others don’t know the court’s attitude towards martial arts families, so how can you not know? Hehe!”

Chu Tang suddenly realized.

The imperial court has always suppressed martial arts sects and aristocratic families, and wished they could all be wiped out before they could achieve their goals.

If the Su and Cheng families could fight among themselves and kill each other, the government would definitely stand by and watch, and maybe even move out on the bench to eat melon seeds and watch the show.

Better let them kill to the last one!

Then, the government can come out to clean up the land and eliminate two Six Realm aristocratic families without spending a single soldier. What a good deal!

As for whether people from the two officialdoms will be involved, why would the powerful court worry about this——

If they really dare to mess around, the guards will come to teach them how to behave!

Chu Tang even thought darkly that the current tense situation between the two families might be secretly instigated by the imperial court!

Thinking of this, Chu Tang glanced at Tao Ying and found that she had an inexplicable expression and was a little excited.

Yes, they are all sensible people!

Chu Tang suddenly felt a little embarrassed when he thought about his identity - the policeman was also a member of the imperial court.

"That's not right!" Chu Tang suddenly woke up and felt aggrieved, "It's none of my business! I'm just a member of the public! Su Hong is a fourth-rank official and an important minister of the imperial court! He's not embarrassed, but I'm embarrassed!"

With sufficient psychological preparation, Chu Tang immediately raised his head, looked at Tao Ying, and said, "It seems that Miss Su can only trouble Dean Tao for a while. In Qingcheng, you are probably the only one who can protect her."

Tao Ying sighed: "Mother Qingyue and I have been close friends for many years. I will definitely do my best to do the things she entrusts."

Chu Tang complimented: "It is a blessing for Mrs. Su to have such a righteous friend like Dean Tao!"

Tao Ying glanced at him and said: "You don't have to carry the bridge for me! Even if there is no Qingyue's mother, as an academy student, as long as Qingyue is in the academy for a day, I will not allow anyone to touch her!"

Chu Tang quickly raised his hands and said: "Dean Tao Gao Yi! By the way, what Master Su said in the letter, Dean Tao didn't mention it to Miss Su, right?"

Tao Ying laughed and scolded: "You think I'm stupid! Can you explain this to her clearly? Does this embarrass her?"

Chu Tang breathed a sigh of relief and said repeatedly: "It's fine if it doesn't happen. It's fine if it doesn't happen."

Tao Ying smiled, remained silent for a moment, and then said, "But I see that Qingyue's attitude towards you is very different from that of ordinary men."

Chu Tang's heart skipped a beat and she quickly said: "It's really different. She is very dissatisfied with Chu. She always looks down upon her!"

"Are you sure?" Tao Ying looked suspicious.

Chu Tang raised his chest and said seriously: "That's still false! Chu heard from Miss Xiao You that Miss Su fell in love with someone at Wutong Academy!"

"The one I love, Qin..." Tao Ying stopped talking, as if he remembered something, and shook his head slowly, with a bitter look on his face, "I'm afraid he's not a good match!"

Chu Tang hurriedly said: "If the academy's top talents are not good matches, then Chu Tang will be even more unbearable. There is no difference between clouds and mud!"

Tao Ying laughed: "You are really afraid of the clear moon like a tiger! You don't need to belittle yourself. Su Hong has a reason for liking you. If nothing else, with your age and martial arts level, you have really left many people behind. !

"If you are willing to stay in Gui County as a catcher for the rest of your life, far away from Qingcheng and the whirlpool, it will indeed be a good destination for Qingyue. I think Su Hong thought so too, and that's why he wanted to recruit you as his son-in-law.

"However, although I have only been in contact with you for a short time, I can see a kind of ambition in your eyes! You want to be a master, and you are not willing to be humble and humble! Then, you will definitely leave Guijun, or even leave Liangzhou ! In this way, Qingyue, who does not know martial arts, will not be able to suffer along with you."

Chu Tang stared at the words, pursed his lips, and asked: "So Dean Tao introduced me to the guards in order to let me get on a bigger stage as soon as possible and stay away from Miss Su?"

Has he become a tool?

"On the contrary!" Tao Ying looked at Chu Tang seriously, "I introduced you to the Yiwei because I wanted you to gain a firm foothold in Qingcheng and gain more power, and then I hope you can repay the favor one day. When Qingyue is really in trouble, I can give her a helping hand."

Chu Tang smiled helplessly and said, "Dean Tao, you are so sincere!"

Tao Ying glanced at him and said: "I have studied your materials carefully. It is not an exaggeration to say that you are as timid as a mouse. If I don't treat you with so many concerns, I'm afraid you will resent me instead!"

Chu Tang touched his nose, feeling very embarrassed.

Tao Ying added: "You may not be a good person, but you shouldn't be a bad person either. You still have a bottom line to stick to. I just hope I'm not wrong! Leader Chu, will you disappoint me?"

Chu Tang smiled bitterly and said: "Actually, Mr. Chu already wants to back down, so he turned around and went back. Mr. Chu still said that he wants to live longer!"

Tao Ying laughed and said: "I want to go back now, it's too late! Not everyone can get on and off my carriage easily! Hehe!"

Chu Tang spread his hands and said: "So, Chu can't give Dean Tao a clear answer. Many things can only be decided when the time comes."

Tao Ying looked at him seriously and said slowly: "You are also very honest!"

Chu Tang smiled and said, "This is one of Chu's few advantages."

"You are selling melons, selling melons and boasting! I..." Tao Ying wanted to say something else, but suddenly, the carriage stopped.

"Miss, we're here!" The coachman spoke for the first time.

"Miss?" After Chu Tang came to his senses, he realized that the driver was calling Tao Ying.

He was stunned for a moment. Dean Tao's words and deeds did not have any trace of the attitude of a young lady!

Tao Ying ignored this and urged Chu Tang: "Get off the car, the base camp of Qingcheng Yiwei has arrived!"

"Oh!" Chu Tang responded, took the lead in opening the curtain and jumped out.

Looking up, I saw that I was still in Qingcheng, but the surrounding area was much empty. There were no other buildings on the stone street that was more than 100 feet long. There were only a row of magnolia trees planted on both sides of the road.

In front of him is a building that looks like a castle.

The earthen castle is not high, about two feet, and is square in shape. Its length and width are about twenty or thirty feet, like a small castle.

Looking up, you can still see rows of openings on the earthen fort, which are dark and about the size of your head and seem to be observation openings.

Chu Tang's spiritual awareness was sharp, and he seemed to notice someone looking at them in the mouth.

"Ignore them!" Tao Ying noticed Chu Tang's abnormality after getting out of the car, "The guards are very alert. They have harmed many people and are worried about being persecuted. Naturally, they have to be careful day and night. Hehe! Come with me."

With that said, he walked towards the gate of the earthen castle first.

Chu Tang followed up.

After being stopped by the guard at the door, Tao Ying took out a token from her sleeve and showed it to others.

The guard immediately and respectfully stepped out of the way.

With sharp eyes, Chu Tang saw the simple white character "缁" on the black token.

"Tao Ying is also from the Zhenyi Guards?"

Chu Tang was greatly shocked!
