"I heard that Du Huan is not only ruthless, but also sinister. Now it seems that he is indeed not bad!”Situ Liuxing did not think that Hu Tiehua could escape from the Wu brothers, but Ye Qiu was still talking to Chu Liuxiang leisurely.
" Although Old Hu has been in wine for ten years, I know that his martial arts have improved. Although he can't compare to you, he's not someone that can be taken down by anyone in the martial arts world..." Chu Liuxiang smiled slightly, as if she had confidence in Hu Tiehua.
In the time it took to say these few words, Hu Tiehua suddenly grabbed Du Huan's shoulder and patted him in the middle like lightning.
This slap was like swatting a fly. Du Huan's wrist was also like a fly. It was actually caught by his two hands and could not move.
Before Du Huan could finish his sentence, he heard a crack. His wrist had been broken. He screamed and fainted.
Hu Tiehua let go and smiled." I'm afraid your hands are tired from killing people. It's better to rest."”
He had just let go of Du Huan when two long swords stabbed out from under Du Huan's ribs like poisonous snakes!
It was the Wu brothers! Not only were their Dragon Swimming Swords tightly guarded, but their sneak attacks were even more impressive. Under the attack of the two swords, even Chu Liuxiang's expression changed slightly.
"I knew that you two brats had bad intentions!”
Hu Tiehua roared, and the entire tent trembled slightly. Suddenly, his abdomen contracted, and he forcefully caved in an inch. He avoided the deadly long sword, but his two hands smashed out like hammers.
Bang! Bang!
The long sword was broken, and two fists landed on the Wu brothers 'faces. The two brothers didn't make a sound and also fainted.
"Clown, you can't even withstand a single blow!" Hu Tiehua clapped his hands and smiled at the Qiuci King."Is this enough for me to ask for a drink?”
"Naturally! Naturally!" The Qiuci King personally brought the wine cup over.
Right at this moment, something unexpected happened!
Du Huan, who was originally 'unconscious' on the ground, jumped up like a rabbit. He slid six feet away in an instant and was already at the edge of the tent. He was about to escape!
He was actually pretending to faint just now!
Du Huan's qinggong was not bad, and even Hu Tiehua did not seem to have expected this move of his. It seemed that it was already too late for him to catch up.
Clang!
Just as Du Huan was about to escape, he suddenly heard a sword hum.
A white sword light flew up and pierced Du Huan's back like a rainbow.
Although the Wu brothers 'Dragon Swimming Sword was also well-known in the martial arts world, it was nothing compared to this sword light!
Du Huan fell to the ground with a long sword stuck in his back.
The one who had unleashed this attack was none other than Wang Chong!
"Good swordsmanship!" Chu Liuxiang was visibly moved." Even when the Huashan Sword Sect was at its peak, there were only a few people who could use this move,'Startling Rainbow Piercing the Sun', to such an extent. I wonder how you address the Huashan Seven Swords of that year?"”
"I've long forgotten the name of the mountain people!”Wang Chong slowly shook his head.”
As he spoke, he walked out without looking back.
"Warrior Wang, wait!" The Qiuci King repeatedly called out, but it was to no avail.
Hu Tiehua returned to his seat and pursed his lips.""Three of the bodyguards hired by the Qiuci King are assassins, and the one with the best martial arts has left. This is really an extremely unlucky year!”
He drank a big bowl of wine and suddenly looked up as if he had sensed something.
He saw the Qiuci Princess Consort's pair of eyes that could speak turn around his body, then jump to Chu Liuxiang at the side, and finally fall on Ji Bingyan's face. After pausing for a long time, she suddenly said a few words to the Qiuci King.
"Haha…warriors, my wangfei is envious of your charms and wants to betroth my daughter to one of you, but I don't know if he is willing or not.”
The Qiuci King suddenly laughed loudly. This sentence was a stroke of genius, and it stunned Chu Liuxiang and Hu Tiehua.
"I wonder which one of us you have taken a fancy to!”Ye Qiu rolled his eyes.
"Needless to say, it's naturally a dead rooster!”Hu Tiehua said in a low voice, his tone somewhat sour.
"It's this warrior Hu!"
But in the next moment, following the Qiuci King's announcement, Hu Tiehua's mouth suddenly opened wide, as if two duck eggs could be stuffed into it!
"No, I can't! No!" "Please forgive me, Your Highness, but I…" Hu Tiehua stood up abruptly.
Princess Pipa was already Ji Bingyan's woman, so how could he snatch her away?
"Haha…we have no objections!”Ye Qiu, however, smiled as he held Hu Tiehua's shoulder and sat down. He was suddenly speechless.
"Haha, today is a joyous occasion! Virtuous son-in-law, accept these!"
Hu Tiehua's head was dizzy. He was pressed down by Ye Qiu to kowtow and accepted a pile of precious jewelry gifts…
"Wa…no, what are you trying to do, you damn rooster?”It was only after the banquet ended and they returned to the tent that Hu Tiehua jumped up."That Princess Pipa is clearly yours…How can she marry me?”
"Didn't you see that in order to keep you as a bodyguard, he even gave up his daughter? Could it be that you're so heartless?”Ye Qiu said faintly.
" But…but…" Hu Tiehua was flabbergasted. He felt that something was wrong.
"Old Goose, stop teasing Old Hu!”Chu Liuxiang suddenly smiled and said,"I guess…the daughter of the Qiuci King must be more than one, right?"”
"Not bad!" Ye Qiu patted Hu Tiehua's shoulder and laughed."I didn't expect you to be a bachelor for half your life. So, you're here to be the son-in-law! However, if you want to protect your father-in-law from the sword of Red Spot in the Central Plains, you have to do your best!”
Chu Liuxiang's expression also changed.
He had witnessed the Red Specter's sword style in the Central Plains. If Hu Tiehua were to fight against Red Specter's fast sword style, he would not have the slightest confidence.
" Princess…Father-in-law…" Hu Tiehua was stunned for a moment before suddenly jumping up."I want to return those things and make things clear to the Qiuci King. Even if he doesn't marry his daughter to me, I will ensure his safety!”
"Good man, great hero!" "But don't you think you should get married too?" Ye Qiu gave him a thumbs up. Believe me, there will be a big surprise waiting for you this time!”
"Surprise?" Hu Tiehua rubbed his head, looking even more confused.
"Let's not talk about the surprise for now!" "Who do you think is the strongest among the Qiuci King's men in the tent?" Chu Liuxiang suddenly asked.”
"Is there a need to ask? Naturally, it's that Wang Chong!" " His Huashan Sword Style is as good as the Seven Swords of Huashan back then," Hu Tiehua said loudly." Even if he were to encounter the Red of the Central Plains, he would be able to withstand it for a while. It's a pity that he's gone…"
"I might have already guessed this person's identity!”"Although the Seven Swords of Mount Hua were completely annihilated, the Sect Master of Mount Hua still took in the youngest disciple!" Chu Liuxiang smiled.”
"Could Wang Chong be the Divine Dragon Swordsman, Liu Yanfei, whose reputation was only below that of the Seven Swords of Mount Hua?”Hu Tiehua was visibly moved.
"Most likely! However, he was not the one with the highest martial arts skills in the tent!”Chu Liuxiang said.
"If it's not him, then who is it?" Hu Tiehua scratched his head.
"Princess Pipa!" Chu Liuxiang enunciated each word.”
"It's her!" Hu Tiehua's eyes widened.
"I don't know if you guys have noticed, but the pipa she's been holding is made of pure iron! It was also an extraordinary weapon!”Ye Qiu interjected.
"That's right! Holding such a heavy pipa, she still looked weak on the outside. If not for the fact that her internal energy had already reached a very deep level, how could she not reveal the slightest bit of strength?”Chu Liuxiang rubbed her nose.
"It's just a pity…Chu Liuxiang, you're mistaken!”Ye Qiu smiled mysteriously.
"I saw wrongly too!" Chu Liuxiang was stunned.
"Among those people, Princess Pipa's martial arts skills are probably only ranked second. She's not even worthy of carrying the shoes of the first!”Ye Qiu said leisurely.
"Who is it?" Chu Liuxiang's eyes flashed.
"Naturally, it's that Qiuci Princess Consort! She is truly an unfathomable expert, and besides her, the Qiuci King is also very cunning. You two have to be careful, don't be sold and count his money!”Ye Qiu said matter-of-factly.
"What is it? That sickly looking princess consort and that lecherous old man were both unfathomable?”Hu Tiehua's eyes widened. Are my eyes blind, or has the world changed…"
"The Qiuci Princess Consort is an expert!" Shock flashed across Chu Liuxiang's face, and she even took a step back.""Although Princess Pipa hid it well, her every move still revealed a bit of the habitual movements of a martial artist. I stared at her for a long time, and I actually felt that she was just an ordinary person from the beginning to the end. She was just very beautiful!”
"Perhaps it's because she's too beautiful that you've focused all your attention on her face and neglected other aspects!”Ye Qiu added.
……
The wedding date was set for tomorrow.
The Qiuci King and Qiuci Princess seemed to be eager to marry their daughter.
By the next morning, there were already five or six people holding high crowns and auspicious clothes. They bowed and walked in, smiling as they said,"The wedding ceremony has been prepared. Fuma, please change into your auspicious clothes and prepare to bow!”
"So fast?" Chu Liuxiang cried out involuntarily. She exchanged glances with Hu Tiehua, feeling that even though the Qiuci King urgently needed the protection of experts, he was too impatient.
The leader of the ceremonial officers had a smile on his face."A happy occasion can only come sooner rather than later. Moreover, ever since our princess saw Master Hu's handsome appearance that day, she had long been secretly in love with him. Although she did not say it, she was indescribably happy in her heart!”
Hu Tiehua's heart softened as she thought of Princess Pipa's beauty. She muttered to herself,"No matter what, sisters should look similar…"
By the time he came back to his senses, he had already put on his tall hat and changed into his auspicious clothes. He looked at himself in the mirror and suddenly felt that his appearance was not as ugly as he had imagined.
The bride was also wearing a tall crown and auspicious clothes, and even covered her face with a red scarf.
The already magnificent tent was decorated even more magnificently today. The Qiuci King's face was glowing, but his princess was nowhere to be seen.
According to Qiuci Kingdom's marriage custom, female guests were not allowed to show their faces during the wedding, so the princess consort and Princess Pipa did not come. After the bride, whose face was covered with a red veil, entered the bridal chamber, Hu Tiehua waited outside and dealt with the waves of toasts.
Everyone here liked to drink heavily. The more the groom drank, the more glorious the wedding would be. This was exactly what Hu Tiehua wanted. What he feared the most in his life was not having any wine to drink. He was more than happy to have someone force him to drink.
He was already drunk to the point of dizziness, and the banquet outside was still going on. He saw four half-naked men carrying a fragrant roasted camel in. The King of Qiuci held a silver knife and cut open the camel's stomach. There was a roasted sheep in the camel's stomach, and a roasted chicken in the sheep's stomach.
The King of Qiuci cut open the chicken's belly and picked out an egg that had been soaked in oil with a silver knife. He stroked his beard and laughed,"This egg is the most auspicious, and it has always been obtained only by distinguished guests. Today's wedding is an auspicious day, and it's even more extraordinary. This egg must be presented to our most distinguished guest!”
As he spoke, he strode over to Ye Qiu and placed the lucky egg on his plate. He raised his hand and cheered,"Everyone, why don't we toast to our Desert King?”
Cheers and thunderous applause erupted from all around. Ye Qiu smiled and raised his glass.
Chu Liuxiang sat beside him and smiled.""The world is really strange. Little Hu actually became the emperor's son-in-law of a country. Can you imagine it?”
" Wild Horse has put on a halter. This is something worth celebrating. However, I'm afraid we'll be busy tonight…" Ye Qiu smiled and showed the lucky egg to Chu Liuxiang. He hadn't eaten it just now.
A silver needle appeared in Chu Liuxiang's hand and she stabbed it into the egg. When she pulled it out, the needle was already black. She couldn't help but change her expression."The poison is only in the egg yolk. There's no poison on the outside. Naturally, no method can detect it. This method is simply unbelievable!”
He smiled bitterly and stuffed another piece of paper into Ye Qiu's hand. The words on it were a little blurry, but it was written: "Today is your daughter's wedding day, so I'll leave your head for another day. I'll come back tomorrow evening to get it. I hope you keep it well and don't disappoint me!”
"Hehe…this assassin sure has big words!”Ye Qiu casually threw the ball of paper into the fire and muttered,"The sentence is simple, so it's obvious that this person is only crude. Although the handwriting is crude, it's sharp and angular. It even has a sword bone. The person who wrote this is probably a sword expert! As far as I know, there is only one swordsman who has done this!”
"That's right, it's Red Spot of the Central Plains!”Chu Liuxiang's eyes seemed to have two sparks of fire." I'll have to trouble you to keep watch tonight. I'll go meet him. It just so happens that there's still an unfinished competition between us…"
The aroma of roasted meat and fine wine filled the air. Amidst the laughter, Ye Qiu and Chu Liuxiang had already drunk six or seven rounds of wine.
Hu Tiehua finally could not hold on any longer and was carried into the bridal chamber.
As night fell, there were more fireflies in the sky.
Chu Liuxiang slowly walked out of the oasis and soon disappeared into the darkness.
"Do I really have to guard Hu Tiehua's corner?”Ye Qiu sat on the lawn, holding a wine bottle in his hand. He looked at the starry sky and his eyes suddenly moved.
Princess Pipa, wrapped in a thick woolen blanket, sat beside him.
"What's wrong? Are you still going to listen to me?" Princess Pipa smiled.
Ye Qiu looked around. The cold air had already swept over. The people outside had already returned to their warm tents and entered their warm beds.
The entire world fell silent. It was as if he and Princess Pipa were the only two people in the world.
"Why do you have to listen to other people's gossip? Wouldn't it be better to let others listen to us?”Ye Qiu had a wicked smile on his face as he pulled off the blanket Princess Pipa was wrapped in. She was actually not wearing anything!
The goose blanket quickly fell down again, enveloping him and Princess Pipa. It seemed to have become a small tent that was still shaking…
……
At dawn, Ye Qiu wrapped himself in a goose feather blanket and got up. Princess Pipa had disappeared.
As the wind blew, Chu Liuxiang came to his side, her face full of resentment.
"I know. You went out to fight last night, but the two of us were turned upside down here. You must be very angry, right?”Ye Qiu slowly got up and put on his clothes.
"I am a little angry!" Chu Liuxiang rubbed her nose with a bitter smile,""I still feel a little sour!"
"Did you see Little Red last night?" Ye Qiu asked again.
"Yes, but you won't be able to guess what happened next!”Chu Liuxiang said confidently.
