What a good-for-nothing scholar.

Indeed, as a talented lady from the Su family, she was powerless in the face of such a thing.

If you know some Kung Fu, at least you can protect yourself or commit suicide.

If there is a next time, can we still expect him to show up?

What if something like that were discovered? Thinking of this, Su Ru blushed.

Fortunately, Li Xiuzhu had no eyes at the back and couldn’t see clearly.

"Can you teach me some self-defense skills? Even if it's just skills that allow me to commit suicide smoothly, I don't want this to happen again."

Li Xiuzhu paused when he heard this and paused slightly.

The next moment, the footsteps moved again, as if without stopping.

"Do you have any basic knowledge of martial arts?"

Su Ru was stunned when she heard this and her face darkened.

Yes, I have no foundation in martial arts.

"I almost forgot that I have never learned martial arts. It seems that I can only carry a dagger or poison with me from now on."

Li Xiuzhu heard this and said, "If you promise not to tell anyone else, I can teach you my steps."

"My footwork involves the sixty-four hexagrams of the I Ching. Even people without internal energy can learn it and even generate internal energy."

"It may not allow you to achieve great success, but it shouldn't be too difficult to become a third-rate warrior."

"Step on it, and run into the woods next time something happens. Unless you are a top-notch expert in Qinggong, no one will be able to catch up with you."

After hearing what Li Xiuzhu said, Su Ru immediately understood the value of this footwork.

But Su Ru didn’t want to be the only one learning. People are greedy, and she is no exception.

"Can I only learn it myself? I can promise not to pass it on to too many people."

Li Xiuzhu shook his head.

"This is not a question of whether you promise or not. Whether it's in the martial arts world or in the imperial court, as long as someone knows that you have such a miraculous martial art, they will definitely target your family."

"One or two people can be said to have eaten the treasures of heaven and earth, but can everyone in your family eat the treasures of heaven and earth?"

Su Ru was silent for a moment. Before she could say anything else, Li Xiuzhu suddenly said, "Of course, if you want to pass it on to our child, that's not impossible."

Li Xiuzhu's words made Su Ru on his back tremble suddenly, and she immediately shouted angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Li Xiuzhu didn't take it seriously and said, "It's possible, isn't it?"

"I don't usually think about using my internal energy to refine my essence and transform it into qi, but I didn't realize it at the beginning yesterday, so how can I pay attention to these things?"

"Of course, I won't force you. If you really want to fight, then go ahead."

"We had a false start. I have no right to ask you for anything."

When Li Xiuzhu said this, he suddenly sighed.

Cheng Cheng, it seems we are not destined to be together.

After this happened, Li Xiuzhu didn't know what to do, let alone how to face Su Chengcheng and Su Ru.

Suddenly Li Xiuzhu remembered something and said, "By the way, don't tell anyone that I know martial arts. This matter cannot be exposed."

Su Ru nodded, and suddenly realized that Li Xiuzhu couldn't see it, so she said, "I'll keep it a secret for you."

After hesitating for a while, Su Ru asked, "Don't let Cheng Cheng know."

"Hmm? What do you mean?"

Su Ru frowned.

"Just treat her the same way you usually do, and continue to treat her the same way in the future."

Li Xiuzhu paused when he heard this. Is that so? If I continue like that, your daughter will definitely not be able to escape. Then we...

Yes, she doesn't want to have a future with me, but isn't this embarrassing? I sighed sadly.

"I'll try my best. To be honest, I can't treat Cheng Cheng normally anymore. I want to distance myself from her as much as possible."

Su Ru was stunned when she heard this, and immediately understood why Li Xiuzhu did this.

At this moment, it was as if something had pierced her heart, softening her already weak heart.

Suddenly, a cluster of rockets sounded over Lianyun Village and exploded with a "bang".

Even though they were far away, the two of them heard it.

Su Ru's face changed.

"They found us, let's go!"

Suddenly Su Ru was stunned. She hadn't had time to think about it before, but now she suddenly noticed something unreasonable.

"By the way, shouldn't you be in Shangjing City? Why are you here? It's only two hundred miles from here to Yanmen Pass."

Li Xiuzhu smiled when he heard this. Are you just reacting now? "Juyong Pass has been breached, and the guards of Yanmen Pass cannot move lightly. His Majesty asked me to lead troops to support Jiayu Pass."

Li Xiuzhu paused while speaking, then looked in one direction.

"Who?"

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

"Who?"

Both parties spoke at the same time, and thanks to the dim light they were able to see each other at the same time.

The man opposite Li Xiuzhu was wearing black armor and drawing a bow and arrow.

As soon as he finished speaking, dozens of black-armored soldiers aimed at them at the same time.

"How dare you! Don't you even recognize your own general?"

As soon as Li Xiuzhu finished speaking, the scattered people seemed to see Li Xiuzhu's appearance clearly and immediately knelt on one knee.

"I greet the general."

"Well, where is my carriage?"

"General, your carriage is a mile away. The captain and his men were afraid that the horses and carriage would alert the enemy, so they left 10,000 people to guard the horses. We came here on foot."

Li Xiuzhu nodded upon hearing this.

"Blow the war horn and tell the people on the hill to surrender."

"If you refuse to surrender, fire three rounds of rockets, and then withdraw when a big fire starts."

"Remember to shoot at the same time."

"Somebody else send for my carriage."

Seeing that Li Xiuzhu had already given the order, one of the centurions immediately took the order.

"Yes, sir, I will arrange it right away."

As soon as the messenger left, Su Ru blushed and whispered, "Put me down quickly."

Li Xiuzhu was stunned, and then he remembered that he was still carrying Su Ru on his back, but he was reluctant to let go.

"Can you still walk with this?"

Su Ru's face turned even redder and she glared at Li Xiuzhu, but unfortunately no one could see because of the veil.

"I can stand even if I can't walk. How can I live if someone sees me like this?"

Li Xiuzhu smiled when he heard this.

"Don't worry, no one knows your identity. Where are you going? When we are almost there, I will go separately to see you off."

"By the way, I haven't asked you yet, why are you here?"

"Although this place is still a long way from the border, how dare you come here when war is about to break out?"

"Since you are here, why don't you bring more people with you?"

Su Ru was silent for a moment, then said, "My father passed away, I have to go see him anyway."

"There are now 100,000 guards at the border, plus the 100 or so people I brought with me, so I thought it was enough. I didn't expect something to happen."

"Fortunately, I didn't let Cheng Cheng come, otherwise I can't imagine the consequences."

Su Ru hesitated for a moment, looked towards Lianyun Village, and asked hesitantly, "Are you really going to set the mountain on fire? There are at least 10,000 or 20,000 people on the mountain."
