Chapter 200: Su Zhenzhen Unlocks a New Skill
"Young Master Jiang, we have nothing better to say than this. Please leave my room." Su Zhenzhen directly ordered him to leave.
Jiang Jingyan's thought process is probably different from that of ordinary people, and the things he says are often laughable.
“Miss Su, we’ve been alone in this room for so long, a little longer won’t make a difference. You’ve already lost your reputation, so you have no choice but to marry me.”
Su Zhenzhen doubted her ears and even thought Jiang Jingyan was being abstract, but the other party looked up with a face that couldn't be more serious.
Su Zhenzhen was speechless. When you're speechless, you really want to laugh.
"Young Master Jiang, I have a good idea."
Jiang Jingyan's eyes lit up when he saw Su Zhenzhen smile. Although she was of average appearance, her smile was like the warm spring sun, pleasing to the eye and mind.
"Miss Su, please tell me, what is your plan?"
"Then you should die!" Su Zhenzhen's expression suddenly changed. "As you said, it would damage our reputations if we, a man and a woman, were alone in a room together. So I will execute you, you shameless scoundrel, on the spot, and everything will be resolved."
Su Zhenzhen acted swiftly, but fortunately, Jiang Jingyan, as a young master from a prominent family, was well-versed in the Six Arts of a Gentleman, and his reaction was also very quick.
Su Zhenzhen grabbed him with a grappling move, and Jiang Jingyan had nowhere to retreat. He simply lay down, rolled on the footstool, and rolled straight to the ground. While Su Zhenzhen got out of bed, he got up from the ground.
Once Su Zhenzhen was on the ground, Jiang Jingyan had already prepared for a counterattack.
After exchanging a few blows, Su Zhenzhen gradually found herself at a disadvantage.
At this moment, Su Zhenzhen was extremely regretful that she hadn't learned a few moves from General Huo when he was instructing her on the martial arts of Hensheng.
Although his body had been modified and upgraded by gene optimization fluid, making him several times better than ordinary people in all aspects, he had not received systematic training.
Fighting someone who is truly skilled in martial arts is nothing but inviting humiliation.
No wonder Jiang Jingyan dared to travel alone; it turns out he was quite confident in his skills.
While Su Zhenzhen was distracted, Jiang Jingyan scissors her hands behind her back and pulled her into his arms.
Jiang Jingyan pressed down on Su Zhenzhen's pulse points, preventing her from gathering any strength.
Jiang Jingyan was half a head taller than Su Zhenzhen. Standing behind her, they looked like a couple cuddling from behind.
Fortunately, Jiang Jingyan came from a prestigious family and was quite well-mannered, so he did not do anything excessive.
However, the warm breath he exhaled still reached Su Zhenzhen's ear.
"I was born prematurely and was frail and sickly from a young age. My father already had an outstanding eldest son, so he didn't care much about me. He said that martial arts could strengthen my body and made me practice diligently in martial arts. Bored all day long, I could only follow my martial arts master to practice again and again. Among my peers, I rarely met my match. However, no one cared that governing a country requires literature, but I had made little progress in this field."
As he spoke, Jiang Jingyan's tone remained calm, unlike his previous confident and flamboyant manner.
Su Zhenzhen sensed a hint of melancholy in his words.
The Jiang Dynasty did not explicitly favor civil officials over military ones, but the fates of generals like General Huo offer a glimpse into this.
Jiang Jingyan continued, "You ask me what I can do if I leave the family? Unfortunately, although I have martial arts skills, if I leave the family's resources, I will not be able to access these things at all, and I will not even be able to grow up safely."
Su Zhenzhen wasn't interested in these old stories, but if Jiang Jingyan revered martial arts, she wondered if he also admired General Huo.
With a thought, Su Zhenzhen released General Huo from the storage compartment.
In the instant General Huo regained his senses, he saw Su Zhenzhen being held hostage by a strange man. He immediately rushed over without hesitation, but his hands could not touch anything.
Jiang Jingyan was naturally shocked by the person who appeared out of thin air, but upon closer inspection, he realized that the person's feet were three feet off the ground, and it turned out to be a ghost.
Ghosts are nothing to fear. Jiang Jingyan and Jiang Jingwei have been friends for many years and have naturally seen a lot of supernatural things.
This thing, apart from looking scary, doesn't even have the basic ability to do evil.
Jiang Jingyan had seen General Huo's portrait before; even though his appearance was now disfigured, he was still easily recognizable.
"General Huo, hello." Jiang Jingyan greeted him politely.
Putting aside political stances, General Huo Zhenyue is a respectable person.
General Huo had an excellent reputation, both among the common people and among prominent families.
Unlike his grandfather and father, General Huo truly dedicated his entire life to protecting the borders and ensuring the safety of the people.
He had no children, never married, and had no life of his own.
At that time, the war in the border region was fierce. Although General Huo could not win the battle, with his ability, it would not have been a problem for him to retreat unscathed and live in anonymity.
But he chose to live and die with his soldiers, fighting to the very last moment. It is said that the barbarians took their anger out on his remains, hacking his body to pieces, leaving not even a single piece of his remains.
Jiang Jingyan admired General Huo. He knew that if he were in that situation, he would never have been able to be as selfless and loving as General Huo.
General Huo ignored him and instead turned his gaze to Su Zhenzhen.
"What happened?"
Su Zhenzhen succinctly stated, "A collateral branch of the Jiang family, Jiang..."
Su Zhenzhen then realized that the man had never said his name.
Jiang Jingyan continued, following Su Zhenzhen's words, "Jiang Jingyan is of the same generation as the Crown Prince of Jiang Dynasty."
General Huo nodded slightly as a greeting.
Su Zhenzhen added, "This person has impure thoughts. From his words, I always feel that there might be spies of theirs in Yangcheng. He even promised me the position of his principal wife."
Aside from Jiang Sijin, no one else knew that she and Hensheng had consummated their marriage. Their previous wedding in Shanxian had ended without a trace, and the people of Yangcheng probably didn't know about her relationship with Hensheng.
Unless Jiang Sijin, that big mouth, goes around telling everyone, Jiang Jingyan shouldn't know about these things.
Even if Jiang Jingyan genuinely wanted to win me over, he could have just stated his purpose directly; there was no need to use hatred as a comparison.
Jiang Jingyan hadn't even realized where he'd been exposed.
While he was preoccupied with General Huo, Su Zhenzhen suddenly broke free from the restraints on her wrists, bit her fingertip, and dabbed a drop of blood onto General Huo's body.
In an instant, General Huo's soul became more solid.
However, the pressure of forcibly breaking through the vital point damaged Su Zhen's heart meridians, not to mention the consumption of some of her essence and blood, causing her face to turn deathly pale instantly.
Fortunately, General Huo now has fighting power and no longer needs to fear Jiang Jingyan.
Jiang Jingyan chased after Su Zhenzhen almost the instant she escaped, but General Huo blocked his way as if he were a physical presence.
In terms of martial arts prowess, no one in the entire Jiang Dynasty could surpass General Huo.
