Xue Qianyu: "...Lu Er, the person you said you dislike is me, right?"
Lu Zheng: "Please don't take this personally, Young Master Xue!"
Xue Qianyu got angry: "Lu Er, let's have a fight!"
The emperor, always eager for a good show, said, "Let's have a fight! Let's see if you've spent these past few years in your Lu family ancestral home, chatting with your grandfather in the ancestral hall and getting some pointers from him."
Lu Zheng: You're the one who got pointers from the emperors of the Great Zhou Dynasty in the Imperial Ancestral Temple!
Xue Qianyu challenged, "What? You don't dare?"
Lu Zheng clasped his hands in a fist salute: "Then please enlighten me, Young Master Xue!"
The emperor sat on a long bench, looked around, and then looked into the main room. He saw a plate of melon seeds and peanuts on the table in the main room. Hehe, old ladies in the countryside just love to eat melon seeds and peanuts.
He gave Grandpa Fu a look.
Grandpa Fu immediately understood and went inside to bring out the plate of melon seeds and peanuts for him.
The emperor grabbed a handful of the food and watched the two young men fight with a good mood.
After watching a few moves, he realized that Lu Zheng's skills were superior to Xue Qianyu's. Could it be that he was really instructed by the deceased old Duke?
You should know that the Xue family is the Duke of Cheng'en's mansion. In all dynasties, only the maternal family of the empress could be called the Duke of Cheng'en's mansion.
Was the Empress's family lacking in resources?
Unlike other spoiled brats, Xue Xiaoer is very hardworking.
He's not even as good as poor Lu Xiaoer?
"Xue Xiao Er, to the left, kick him! A sweeping leg kick, ouch, to the right, to the right, he's going to hit you! Xue Xiao Er, are you sure you can do it? If not, I'll send the Dragon Scale Guards to help you! Xue Xiao Er..." The emperor wasn't satisfied with just eating melon seeds; he wanted to give more pointers.
If you were to offer advice, it would be completely off-topic.
Finally, he noticed that Lu Zheng didn't seem to go to the place where the medicinal herbs were drying, so he reminded Xue Qianyu.
Xue Qianyu didn't care about anything else; he just had to beat Lu Er today, otherwise he would lose face big time.
At this moment, Gu Xin and Gu Si, two close friends, ran in. Upon hearing that the emperor was helping Xue Qianyu, Gu Xin objected and started giving orders to Lu Zheng as well.
"Brother Yuanyuan, behind you, to the left, there are stones on the ground. Brother Yuanyuan, the direction of the sun..."
"Hey! Xue Xiao'er, aren't you ashamed? I clearly told you to move to the right, but you wouldn't listen! You're going to drive me crazy!"
"Brother Yuanyuan, he's drawing his sword! Wait for me, I'll go get you a kitchen knife!"
"Xue Xiaoer, quick, don't let that little girl get the kitchen knife, subdue him quickly!"
"Brother Yuanyuan, the kitchen knife is coming! Catch it!"
The emperor and Eunuch Fu were so frightened that their mouths gaped open, and then they swallowed hard.
You just threw it away?
But Lu Zheng caught it steadily.
Lu Zheng gripped the kitchen knife and ran towards the door. Xue Qianyu followed. Lu Zheng ran to the wall, leaped up, and swung the kitchen knife at Xue Qianyu.
Xue Qianyu tried to block with his sword, but Lu Zheng kicked the sword away. Then, he landed and swept his leg, hooking Xue Qianyu down. Using the strength of his leg, he wrapped Xue Qianyu's leg around his own, sat up, and held the kitchen knife to Xue Qianyu's neck. He tilted his head slightly and smiled.
"Wow! Brother Yuanyuan is so amazing! Brother Yuanyuan won!" Gu Xin jumped up happily, bouncing around in front of the emperor and saying proudly, "Uncle Ye, my Brother Yuanyuan can win even with a kitchen knife! It's no use you two bullying him! Humph!"
Gu Si was also laughing happily on the side. This was the first man she had ever seen fighting with a kitchen knife. Before, she had only seen women, and always the women in her family.
