Su Pingchuan was almost there in the blink of an eye. Xiao Nanhui signaled Yao Yi to retract his head: "Hide first. Don't come out until I make a sound."
Yao Yi followed his instructions and just closed the small window when Su Pingchuan's voice came over.
"Who's that up ahead?"
Is this Su Pingchuan a weight? He's too naive. He always does the same thing. He's really consistent.
Xiao Nanhui didn't rush to reply. He waited until he got closer before introducing himself: "General Su, my name is Xiao Nanhui. I wonder what brings you here so quickly?"
After Su Pingchuan saw Xiao Nanhui's face clearly, his expression became a little strange. He thought that the previous entanglement between the two was too awkward, and he didn't know whether they could be considered acquaintances or strangers.
"It's you, Lord Xiao. I just received a report that someone was gathering on the hillside north of the city to peep at and molest the women in the palace, so I came here to investigate."
He also molested female family members. Xu Shu has put a really big accusation on himself.
Xiao Nanhui bared his white teeth and feigned confusion, "Aren't all the palace women within the palace walls? This place is still quite far from the city gates. I wonder what the general's intention is in molesting these women?"
Su Pingchuan snorted coldly, "Does the crime of blasphemy require physical contact? That woman is specially chosen by His Majesty. Even if an outsider glances at her from afar, it would be considered a crime."
Xiao Nanhui nodded. "I see. Then, General, please quickly capture the thief. I won't delay any longer."
After saying this, he bowed on his horse, called out to Jixiang and was about to leave with the carriage beside him.
"Wait."
The black horse that Su Pingchuan □□ed seemed to be in tune with its owner's mind, and it raised its hoof to block the front of the carriage.
"Why is Lord Xiao in such a hurry? I wonder who is in this carriage?"
This scene seems so familiar, except that the person in the car now does not have the token of the Prime Minister's Mansion. If he is caught, the owner of Wangchen Tower will have to be changed.
"The people in the car are my friends. We just returned from admiring the flowers in the mountains. Brother Pingchuan, do you suspect that I am harboring thieves? I, Xiao Nanhui, will vouch for him in the name of the Marquisate. He is completely innocent."
Calling him "Brother Pingchuan" really gave her goosebumps, and Su Pingchuan's face froze when he heard it.
Xiao Nanhui had already brought the Qinghuaihou Mansion out, so no matter how difficult it was for him, it would be difficult for him to fall out with them.
"Since Lord Xiao has said this, it would be unreasonable for me to forcefully inspect the car."
Xiao Nanhui smiled cheerfully: "No problem, no problem. My friend is a bit timid. He gets mad when he sees someone with a knife or a sword. I beg Brother Pingchuan to show some mercy and let him go back soon..."
"You can let him go, but you have to stay."
Xiao Nanhui was stunned, unable to react for a moment to what the other party was up to.
But in the current situation, there is no time to care about so many things. Whoever can leave is the next one. He then patted the carriage and signaled the coachman to retreat quickly.
Su Pingchuan was a man of his word. After Yao Yi's carriage had driven away, he spoke coldly, "I have already given the Qinghuai Marquisate enough respect. Now, Lord Xiao, are you willing to return the favor to the Xuanyuan Dukeate?"
You don't have to block me with a marquis' mansion on the left and a duke's mansion on the right.
I'm here now, if you have something to say, say it quickly, and if you have something to say, say it quickly!
Xiao Nanhui smiled and nodded: "Of course, I wonder what Brother Pingchuan needs?"
The veins on Su Pingchuan's forehead jumped as Xiao Nanhui repeatedly called him "Brother Pingchuan". He muttered, "Don't call me those three words again."
Which three words? Brother Pingchuan? If not Brother Pingchuan, should I call you Brother Pingchuan?
joke!
I'm older than you, okay?!
Xiao Nanhui smiled gently, "Then... Pingchuan, what do you need?"
Su Pingchuan paused again, and after a while, he seemed to have given up worrying about the name. He said solemnly, "How about we have a fair competition?"
Ha! So you're waiting for her here. Is that all you ask? Do you think I'm afraid of you?
"Just as Pingchuan wished."
******************
Xiao Nanhui had participated in countless martial arts competitions in his life, but this was the first time that the opponent came to him with such a fierce attitude to demand an explanation.
At Su Pingchuan's request, the two found an open space.
The two horses were brought nearby as their masters prepared to compete. Su Pingchuan's large black horse stood like a stone statue before an imperial mausoleum, its posture majestic and motionless, staring devoutly in its master's direction, as if it knew this was a competition.
Looking at Jixiang again, from the moment Xiao Nanhui let him go, he had been sticking his butt out, nose to the ground, digging holes under the roots of each tree. Xiao Nanhui felt that, let alone winning or losing, he didn't care at all whether she lived or died.
Here, the two of them had just stood facing each other when Su Pingchuan drew out his sword with a swish, which scared Xiao Nanhui.
"I left the city this time to accompany a friend, and I didn't bring any weapons with me."
Su Pingchuan then slowly put away his sword, searched around, and threw a stick to Xiao Nanhui.
"I heard that Lord Xiao learned from Lord Qing Huai and uses spearmanship. This is a branch of ash. Please bear with it. I will unsheath my sword and challenge you. What do you think?"
Xiao Nanhui looked at the bald branch in his hand, then at Su Pingchuan's sword, which was obviously from a famous family. His face was filled with the words "not so good". But when he thought about the possibility that Yao Yi might not have returned to the city yet, he could only bite the bullet and nod: "Alright, alright."
Su Pingchuan held the sword in one hand, the tip pointing downward, and made a very strange and dangerous starting posture: "Although it's just a sparring match, I think bumps and bruises are inevitable. Sir Xiao, please don't blame me for being too heavy-handed later."
This time, Xiao Nanhui finally realized that the other party was still holding a grudge against what happened ten years ago and was now seeking justice!
