Chapter 199 The shocking duel in Liangzhou

Chapter 199 The shocking duel in Liangzhou

After the Cheng family was destroyed by the Su family, another major event that shocked the world recently happened in Qingcheng——

Xu Lingfeng issued a martial arts order and challenged Chu Tang!

One is a disciple of the Holy Land of Martial Arts, and the other is a young catcher from Guijun. When the two are combined, their fight has attracted the attention of the world, and has aroused a lot of discussion:

"A Holy Land disciple from the Sixth Realm wants to fight with a young catcher from the Fifth Realm. Are you still shameless?"

"That little catcher in the fifth realm was very ferocious. He killed Xu Lingfeng's junior brother who had perfected the fifth realm!"

"That's not equitable. Is Chu Tang stupid for agreeing to such a challenge?"

"That's a military order. It doesn't matter if he doesn't agree."

"What is the Xunwu Ling?"

"Xunwu Ling is..." Someone popularized the past and present life of Xunwu Ling.

"What? We Dayao still have this weird thing? Chu Tang is not unjust! By the way, when will they fight and where will they fight? Can we go and watch the battle?"

"On a full moon night, the top of Qingcheng."

"What the hell?"

"On the night of the 15th of this month, Guanyue Tower of the Governor's Mansion."

"There are only seven days left. Guanyue Tower? Why is it there? The Governor's Mansion must not be accessible to ordinary people, right?"

"Guanyue Tower is the tallest building in Qingcheng. It was originally built to overlook the entire Qingcheng. Later, it was renovated and became a place for officials to admire the moon. The roof of the building does not have a cover like other buildings, but is wide. The flat ground is also suitable for dueling."

"Aren't you afraid that these two people will tear down his building?"

"That's not something we should consider. By the way, the gambling shop outside has opened a handicap, and you can bet on the outcome of two people. Do you want to play?"

"How to compensate?"

"If you bet on Xu Lingfeng, you can win 10%; if you bet on Chu Tang, you can win five times!"

"Wow, the gap is so big? Then Chu Tang still gives a shit!"

"As I said, once the order to seek military force comes out, he can't refuse!"

"Then what are you waiting for? Go make some money!"

"Who are you keeping?"

"Needless to say? Xu Lingfeng must be the winner, no matter how small the mosquito is, it's still meat!"

"Just wait for me here...I'll go home and get some money first, and then I'll go to the gambling house with you."

"..."

After three days of fermentation, Chu Tang's receipt of the martial arts order caused a great commotion outside.

Some people just want to eat and are indifferent.

Some people commented and compared the gap between the two from the perspective of martial arts.

Some people are worried about Chu Tang, because most of the comments are not optimistic about Chu Tang and think he will suffer.

…………

Qingcheng South Street, a courtyard.

A girl dressed in white, with a sad look on her face, was feeding the fish in the small lake in front of her with bait.

With a crash, a piece of bait was sprinkled into the lake, attracting a large group of fish to compete for it, causing white splashes on the lake surface.

When the sound of footsteps came, the girl raised her head, with a smile on her sad face. She stood up to greet her and said, "Sister, why are you here?"

What came over was a woman who was about twenty years old. Her face looked somewhat similar to that of a girl. She was dressed in yellow brocade clothes, and she was graceful, elegant and generous.

"Su Ming, you are here in a daze again. Don't you have nothing to do on weekdays to play more with the ladies and maids in the house?" The woman held the girl's hand distressedly and sat down.

The girl forced a smile and said, "I can't get along with them."

"Alas!" The woman sighed, held the girl's Su hand tightly, and said sadly, "Su Ming, it's hard for you. But things are in the past, you have to look forward."

The girl looked at the woman steadily and said, "Sister, is there really no way to avenge the dozens of members of our Chen family?"

The woman looked troubled.

The girl looked at her for a while, then lowered her head again and said, "I know you can't be the master of this family, I can't blame you."

"Su Ming..."

The girl stubbornly remained silent.

The woman looked at her sad look and couldn't help but sigh again.

If Chu Tang were here, he would definitely find that the girl was Chen Suming, the elder sister of the Chen family who was escorted all the way to Qingcheng by the Changfeng Escort Bureau that day.

When they were in Nancheng, they parted ways because Cheng Feng came to find trouble.

Now it seems that Chen Suming has gone to live with her relatives.

The woman is Chen Suqing, the biological sister of Chen Suming and Chen Liang. When she was a teenager, she married into an official family in Qingcheng. Judging from their clothes and the size of the courtyard here, it can be seen that the family has a good family background.

Chen Suming went through the hardships of running away with her family broken up and her family dead. Although she was in a wealthy family, had no worries about food and clothing, and was safe and sound, she was not happy because she wanted revenge.

However, she had no choice but to place her hope in her sister-in-law's family.

"Sister, is it really true that there is nothing you can do for the dignified Sima of Liangzhou Governor's Office and a third-grade official?" Chen Suming still asked reluctantly.

The biological father of her sister's husband was Qin Jing, the current Sima of Liangzhou Governor's Office. He had a third-grade official title and was considered a powerful figure in Qingcheng with considerable power.

If it weren't for this identity, Chen Suming would not have defected to Qingcheng that day.

Chen Suqing said: "Su Ming, your brother-in-law has tried his best to help and asked his father to ask about Mengjun's matter. However, we don't even know the identity of the other party, and we don't even know why he came to our house to kill people for no reason. This matter... I'm afraid it will become an open case."

"I..." Chen Suming opened his mouth, but stopped.

Although the other party was her biological sister, she followed the teachings of her deceased father and did not reveal the clues that their family had the treasure of Prince Liang.

So far, only Chen Suming and Chu Tang know about this matter.

I don’t know why, but Chen Suming was able to tell the whole story to Chu Tang, a person she had known for a short time, but she kept it from her sister and her family.

It is precisely because this clue was not revealed that the Qin family had no clue when investigating.

Thinking of Chu Tang, Chen Suming felt agitated again.

She could not forget the scene of her taking off her clothes in front of Chu Tang that night.

Especially Chu Tang's rejection of her made her feel resentful and ashamed.

And all she did was for her younger brother to learn martial arts.

With a thought in his heart, Chen Suming asked again: "Sister, how are the arrangements for the third brother's martial arts training?"

Chen Suqing said: "Suming, my father-in-law and your brother-in-law still hope that Xiaoliang can study and obtain fame and become a court official in the future. They say that our Chen family has inherited poetry and books, and Xiaoliang is now the only child of the Chen family, so he really shouldn't abandon it. Wen Wen Wu. They said that they can arrange for Xiao Liang to study at Wutong Academy. You know the reputation of Wutong Academy in Qingcheng."

Chen Suming said anxiously: "What's so good about studying? If you don't have superb martial arts, you'll kill anyone if you ask! I understand that in this world, you have to have a strong fist to live well!"

Chen Suqing smiled bitterly and said: "The Qin family is not a martial arts family. We usually practice martial arts just to keep fit, and we don't have any advanced martial arts skills. Su Ming, you can't let Xiao Liang feel bad because of the changes that happened in our family." You can’t learn martial arts.”

"With the status of the Qin family, isn't it possible to find a famous martial arts master for Xiao Liang?" Chen Suming asked with a frown.

Chen Suqing was speechless.

Although Dayao's Yizhou Sima did not have military power, his status in the governor's office was ranked among the top five, second only to the governor and the following officials such as Chang Shi and Biejia.

With an official rank of third grade, he was also an important minister of the imperial court, and his status was respected. Although he was not from a martial arts family, there were many martial arts masters serving him.

With their energy, they can naturally find a master with good martial arts skills in Qingcheng to teach children martial arts.

However, Chen Suming was not very positive about this, and she did not want her younger brother to become a warrior who could only fight and kill in the future.

As a person who has passed down poetry and calligraphy to her family, she still hopes that the descendants of the Chen family will pursue a career as civil servants.

Chen Suming had long seen her sister's concerns and plans, so she stopped talking.

She had killed someone before, and she was no longer the soft-spoken lady from a literary family.

Along the way, she realized the importance of martial arts.

After arriving in Qingcheng, what I saw and heard gave me a deeper understanding of this point.

"By the way, eldest sister, have you delivered the letter I asked you to send to squad leader Chu Tang?" Chen Suming remembered something and asked.

Chen Suqing glanced at her sister, nodded and said, "Your brother-in-law found someone to send it to Wutong Academy and have it handed over to him."

"He...has any reply?" Chen Suming asked hopefully.

Chen Suqing shook her head lightly and said, "No."

Chen Suming bit his lip immediately and said after a while: "What a pity. I wish he could be Xiaoliang's master and teach him powerful martial arts."

Chen Suqing said angrily: "If he crosses the river, he will not be able to protect himself. It's not like you don't know about the military order!"

Of course Chen Suming knew this.

In the past few days, the matter of the Luoshen Valley disciples submitting the martial arts order to Chu Tang had caused a stir in Qingcheng. As the residence of Sima, how could it not be discussed.

Knowing this, Chen Suming wrote a letter to Chu Tang, apparently telling the Qin family that she wanted to find a master for her younger brother. In fact, in the letter, she advised Chu Tang to run away.

She said "a gentleman should not stand under a dangerous wall" and "a man who knows the current affairs is a hero". Throughout her letter, she was persuading Chu Tang not to stay in Qingcheng and to fly away as soon as possible.

If Guijun can't go back, then leave Liangzhou. The sea is vast and the sky is high outside, and there is always a place for his heroes to show their talents.

However, to her disappointment, Chu Tang did not reply to her.

This made her complain, but she also felt a glimmer of hope: "Chu Tang is more afraid of death. If he dares to stay, he should be confident, right?"

Therefore, when many people thought Chu Tang was going to suffer, she had confidence in him.

These confidences are based on what they experienced all the way from Guijun to Qingcheng.

She has seen Chu Tang's martial arts. No matter how many or how powerful his enemies are, he can defeat them in the end.

Especially his Qinggong, Chen Suming felt that it was like an immortal's movement, no one could match it.

"However, Su Ming, if Chu Tang survives this battle, you can invite him to our home." Chen Suqing said abruptly.

"Ah?" Chen Suming was surprised.

Chen Suqing said: "Your brother-in-law said that Chu Tang was responsible for the downfall of the Cheng family in the east of the city. The aristocratic families who knew the inside story also invited him through Wutong Academy these days and invited him to visit. The purpose is, young Wu Who wouldn't want to win over a talented scholar? It is said that the Shen family, the governor, also wants to find a young lady from their family to marry him."

"Marriage?" Chen Suming was even more surprised, "Isn't this... too outrageous?"

"It's all what your brother-in-law said. As a woman, I don't understand these things. Your brother-in-law also said that you and Chu Tang have a close relationship. I originally wanted to invite him to the Qin family through you, but I didn't expect that. Since the matter of seeking military orders has come up, we can only postpone it. I think it might not be possible anymore."

"No!" Chen Suming said firmly, "He will definitely be safe and sound."

Chen Suqing: "..."

…………

In fact, it was not only Chen Suming who advised Chu Tang to run away, but others also mentioned this.

There are still five days until the night of the full moon. In the past few days, Chu Tang not only received a letter of greetings from Chen Suming, but some acquaintances also came to him in person to persuade him to leave.

Among them, Su Qingyue was the first to bear the brunt. She didn't know martial arts, but she also knew what the disciples of the Sixth Realm of the Holy Land of Martial Arts represented.

Worried about Chu Tang's safety, she came to visit him for several days in a row, urging Chu Tang to leave immediately and return to Gui County, and she would ask her father to take care of him.

The worst thing is that when I return to my own territory in Guijun, as a local snake, I will be able to deal with the follow-up methods of the Valley of the Gods with ease.

Chu Tang also rejected her, just as he didn't even reply to Chen Suming's letter.

At this time, he was focused on preparing for war.

Tao Ying, who originally supported his duel with Xu Lingfeng, may have been persuaded by Su Qingyue, implicitly saying that the duel between him and Xu Lingfeng was unfair and that he could actually appeal.

Before filing a complaint, you can leave Qingcheng first, no matter what the military order is.

Ignoring the military order and waiting until the government really blames him can make the matter bigger and make the court face up to the unreasonableness of the military order.

At that time, she can persuade some ministers of the DPRK and China to speak for her.

Chu Tang also rejected her kindness.

Because as far as he knew, in just a few days, the news that he was going to duel with Xu Lingfeng spread to all directions with Qingcheng as the center, almost all over Liangzhou, east, west, north, south.

It is said that not only the martial arts masters in Qingcheng were vying for the right to watch the battle at Guanyue Tower that night, but also many martial arts people from the surrounding area also flocked to Qingcheng, hoping to catch a glimpse of the disciples of the Holy Land.

All interested warriors from the east, west, south, and north rushed into Qingcheng, causing the Qingcheng Inn to be overcrowded for a while, and there was even a shortage of places to stay.

I heard that there are many people coming on the road, and Qingcheng will be even more lively by then.

Although competitions between warriors from the Six Realms are not common, they do happen in Qingcheng from time to time. Logically, they should not attract so much attention.

However, the duel between Xu Lingfeng and Chu Tang triggered such a frenzy. Why?

First, Xunwu Ling is unusual and strange.

Second, disciples in the Holy Land are rare and curious.

Third, Chu Tang's record makes people look forward to the outcome of the duel.

On a full moon night, on top of Qingcheng!

The decisive battle between the two has become the hottest event and topic in Qingcheng.

Is it the disciples of the Holy Land who live up to expectations and capture Chu Tang, or is it the young detective who counterattacks and defeats Xu Lingfeng? Who wouldn't be impulsive and want to see it?

Under such a situation, no matter how stubborn Chu Tang was, he could not escape without a fight.

Otherwise, Chu Paopao's name will be worn on his head for the rest of his life. Even if he becomes the world's best master in the future, it will be a stain on his life.

Chu Tang was still unable to ignore this shame.

Besides, he is only a six-level cultivator and not a strong person in the eighth level, so he won't be able to run away after hearing the news.

Therefore, no matter who tried to persuade him to flee, he ignored him.

In order to regain Tao Ying's confidence in him, Chu Tang also asked her to be his sparring partner, simulating a duel so that he could adapt to Shi's power in advance.

Tao Ying did not refuse and played the role of sparring partner for several days.

In this way, the days are getting closer to May 15th.

My brother's daughter has been having fevers these days, and I'm tired from taking care of her. Her coding condition is really not good, and I hope to get it adjusted as soon as possible.
