Chapter 14: Turning His Long Knife into a Dung Fork
Shen Junheng was too lazy to explain to him and sneered, "You'd better do what you say!"
He Pingzhi took off his shirt, thinking that she would be fascinated by his muscular body and drool, and when she saw the scars all over his body, she would be heartbroken and ashamed, and immediately kneel in front of him to beg for forgiveness.
Seeing that she still had this cold and arrogant expression, he was so angry that he gritted his teeth and wished he could swallow her whole.
But he couldn't touch her, so his eyes fell on Liu Xiaodie behind her, and he immediately transferred his anger to her. He reached out and grabbed her, pulled her to his chest with force, and strangled her neck roughly.
Liu Xiaodie was panicked and her face turned red from being strangled. The more she struggled, the more she couldn't breathe. She could only make "hmm" sounds and look at Shen Junheng for help.
He Pingzhi looked fierce and sneered, "You killed Zheng Caiyi, so give her to me as compensation. If you don't want me to take a concubine, then just let her be a concubine. I'll return her to you when I'm tired of her."
Shen Junheng was utterly disgusted. How could the protagonist be the one to say such vulgar and shameless things? What kind of person is the author of this book?
Without hesitation, Shen Junheng quickly grabbed the long knife from the table, pointed the tip of the knife at his throat, and said calmly, "Let her go!"
"Let her go? Which woman in this mansion doesn't want to be favored by me? Are you jealous of her?" He Pingzhi didn't care and sneered, "I said, I won't touch you unless you kneel down and beg me, then I might consider having mercy on you."
Bah, who wants to be touched by him! Liu Xiaodie's eyes were full of resistance. If he hadn't been strangling her neck, she might have dared to refute him on the spot.
He Pingzhi was not panicked at all. He didn't believe that she really dared to stab him with a knife.
She was really going to vomit if she listened to him continue, so she swung hard at his throat. He reacted quickly, dodged and slapped her wrist with his palm, knocking the long sword to the ground with a clanging sound.
Liu Xiaodie took the opportunity to bite his arm hard, and when he pulled his arm back, she ran out of the house.
"Bitch, how dare you stab me with a knife!" He Pingzhi was extremely angry. He raised his strong arm high and was about to slap her hard.
"Just try to touch me if you dare!" Shen Junheng was not afraid at all. Instead of dodging, he raised his head and chest and took a step forward.
Shen Junheng was actually afraid, but the difference in strength between the two was huge. If he really wanted to hit her, she wouldn't be able to hide even if she wanted to. It would be better for her to bite the bullet and fight him, at least she wouldn't lose momentum.
"Do you think I dare?" He Pingzhi was extremely angry but did not stop.
With a "pa" sound, He Pingzhi's slap fell heavily, but it did not fall on Shen Junheng's face, but on the table.
The teapot and cups on the table fell to the ground and shattered.
Even though the slap didn't land on her face, Shen Junheng couldn't help but feel a little frightened as she looked at the table shaking violently from his blow. But she remained calm and composed.
He Pingzhi was not reluctant to beat Shen Junheng, but a little impatience would ruin a big plan. Xiao Linghe had not even won the position of crown prince yet, so he could not offend the powerful Shen Xiu at this time.
"Shen, I won't hit you because your father took me in." He Pingzhi glared at Shen Junheng fiercely, "You'd better take care of yourself. My patience is limited."
"He Pingzhi, listen to me." Shen Junheng's eyes were even more fierce than his, and he warned, "I'm crazy for forcing you to marry me, I admit it. You and I will not interfere with each other, and we will live our own lives. If you dare to provoke me again, I will go to the emperor and beg him to let us divorce, even if it means risking the emperor's anger. If you anger the emperor's majesty, the worst that can happen is that both of us will perish, and my father will go home to live out his days in peace, and you can forget about being General Xuanwei!"
"You dare!"
"See if I dare!"
Shen Junheng doesn't want to cause trouble, but she is not afraid of it. If she is really pissed off, she can do anything.
Shen Junheng looked fearless and silenced He Pingzhi.
If he lost even the post of General Xuanwei, what would the hardship he had endured in the military camp for the past ten years mean? Moreover, he had to help the Prince of Yan win the throne. Even if he couldn't get Shen Xiu's help, he couldn't make an enemy of him.
After all, Shen Xiu has been working in the court for more than ten years and has a deep foundation. His influence extends throughout the court and outside, and he should not be underestimated.
This marriage, for him, ultimately has more advantages than disadvantages. Even if he hates Shen Junheng as much as he wants, even if His Majesty agrees, he won't really want to divorce her.
Thinking of this, He Pingzhi was so angry that he wanted to die, but he had to swallow his anger.
"Shen Junheng, let's just wait and see. You'll cry one day." He Pingzhi pointed at Shen Junheng and walked out with his hands behind his back.
"Take your broken knife away!" Shen Junheng picked up the knife and threw it behind him.
He dodged, paused for a moment, didn't look back, didn't pick up the knife, snorted coldly, and said: "This knife is for you. When you miss me, you can take it out and look at it."
After saying this, he strode away.
Shen Junheng laughed angrily.
Keji walked over, picked up the knife, and said with an unhappy look: "Miss, how about I take this broken iron and throw it away?"
"Take it and have a blacksmith melt it down and make it into a manure fork. Carve 'Diligently Working for the People' on it. Then take it to the market and sell it, saying that this manure fork is made from the long sword that General Xuanwei He Pingzhi carried with him. The highest bidder will get it."
For a military general, it is a great humiliation for him to have his weapon turned into a farmer's tool, let alone being made into a dung fork, which is enough to make him a laughing stock in the whole capital.
"Miss, you are such a wonderful person! I will do it right away!" Upon hearing this, Keji couldn't help laughing, and immediately picked up the long sword and walked out.
He didn't expect that she could come up with such a way to embarrass He Pingzhi, and he was simply full of admiration for her.
Shen Junheng was just angry and quickly stopped him, saying, "Just take the dung fork and sell it. There's no need to say it belongs to He Pingzhi."
If that were the case, it would only serve to severely humiliate He Pingzhi. Military commanders generally have strong tempers, and if they were to provoke him into a retaliatory riot, it would be disastrous for everyone involved.
Shen Junheng was not afraid of He Pingzhi, but the time had not come yet to deal with him. It was just a way for him to vent his anger, there was no need to go too far.
If you want to deal with him, either don't make a move, or make sure you hit him with one strike.
Keji was a little disappointed, but didn't dare to say anything and just took the order and left.
In order to prevent He Pingzhi from breaking in again, she immediately asked Liu Xiaodie to return to the Shen Mansion after He Pingzhi left, and tell her adoptive father the truth about what happened today, and asked him to find some martial arts masters to protect her.
After He Pingzhi learned about this, he was so angry that his face turned green like the Hulk. When he came to her yard to pick a fight with her, he saw a notice with big words "He Pingzhi and dogs are not allowed to enter" posted at the gate of the yard. He also saw the guards with high martial arts skills guarding the door. He was almost injured by anger, but he held back and turned back silently.
Soon, he moved his residence to his new house.
When Shen Junheng saw him standing outside her yard gate, happily like a dog, and loudly informing her to move in quickly, she felt reluctant, but she was not his mistress, so she had no choice but to move in with him.
The house was indeed very big, but the backyard was very small. He Pingzhi arranged Shen Junheng to live in the backyard and posted a notice at the gate of the yard that read "Shen Junheng and dogs are not allowed to enter or leave."
Xiao Linghe was very generous to He Pingzhi, not only buying him a large house but also sending him many servants and guards. He Pingzhi imprisoned Shen Junheng and her people in the backyard, and sent people to guard the gate. Without his permission, she and her people were not allowed to enter the backyard.
