Chapter 82 What does it mean to stay together forever?
“Ah—Dad! Dad!! Stop hitting me!! I’ll be crippled if you keep hitting me!!!”
On the bustling ten-mile-long street, Wang Chengming pushed his way through the crowd in front of him, shouting and running around the street.
Not far behind him, his father Wang Shouxu was chasing him relentlessly with a long stick in his hand. As expected of the former Minister of War, he kept a steady pace even after chasing him for such a long time without even taking a breath.
"You little bastard! I'm going to destroy you today! You can even say something like that, I think you don't want to live anymore!!!"
The people around hurriedly retreated to the side of the street, almost clearing out the entire street, and watched the father and son chasing each other.
Wang Shouxu rushed forward with heavy grunting sounds coming from his nostrils. He saw the right moment and swung his arm suddenly, using the long stick to trip Wang Chengming's calf.
Wang Chengming thought to himself that something was wrong and he fell to the ground, somersaulted several times, his face covered with snow. He still wanted to escape, but Wang Shouqi quickly picked up his stick and started hitting him, with the force hitting Wang Chengming's vital points accurately.
“Ahhhhhh! Help!! Stop hitting me!!! Dad! Dad——!!”
The screams lingered in the air.
It is said that even a tiger will not eat its own cubs, but looking at Wang Shouxu's eyes wide open with anger and his unambiguous expression, it seemed that he really wanted to beat Wang Chengming to death before he would stop.
Wang Shouyi roared, "Even if the gods came, it would be useless! How could I give birth to a bastard like you? You are a traitor! Go to the ancestral hall, kneel down, kowtow to our ancestors and admit your mistakes!!"
Fortunately, Wang Chengming was tough and strong, and after three years of military training, he had a strong body. He could not be killed for a while. He howled, "I am not wrong! I have loved her since I was a child. When I return to the North, I will tell her my feelings! I will never return to the capital again!"
"Say that again! If you say that again, I'll break your legs! I'll make sure you never leave the capital city again!"
There was a clicking sound.
Wang Shouxu actually broke the long stick into two halves, and one of the halves flew dozens of meters away. Wang Shouxu then used the remaining halves to continue beating him, with great force, and wood chips flying everywhere.
Wang Chengming lay on the ground in a miserable state, with pain all over his waist, legs and hips.
If he continued like this, his life would be lost. He could hardly spare a moment to look around to see if there was anyone around who could save him.
Then, he saw it.
"His Majesty--!!"
On the main trail, Xiao Zhinian heard someone calling him again, and his eyes narrowed.
From a distance, he saw Wang Chengming rolling on the ground in the middle of the street, looking at him pitifully for help.
......Haha, Wang Chengming has come to this day.
Xiao Zhinian gradually slowed down, but even so, the tall black horse still slipped past the Wang father and son. The reins were pulled sharply, and then the horse turned its head.
Seeing that Xiao Zhinian was willing to pay attention to him, Wang Chengming rushed to Xiao Zhinian and complained, "Your Majesty, help me! As we are good friends, you must save me from this dire situation!"
Wang Shouyi was so angry at this kid that his beard was about to stand up. He twisted Wang Chengming's ear and pulled it back, cursing: "Do you have any shame?! You alarmed His Majesty with your scandal! I will skin you alive when I get home!"
In one hand, Xiao Zhinian was still holding the hot porridge and cakes he had just bought from Zisu Building, which were prepared for Shen Zhejiang. He didn't want to delay too long, so he asked, "What's going on?"
Wang Chengming said bluntly: "I asked my father for marriage, and he wanted to beat me to death!"
Xiao Zhinian: “…” I know about you, but there’s no need to tell you directly, right?
Wang Shouxu: “…”
People watching the excitement: "......"
What, what do you mean? Who proposes to whom?
There was silence for a while.
Wang Shouyi was the first to explode, like a volcano: "Are you talking like a human?! You have made me lose all my face! How can I face my ancestors in the underworld! Our Wang family is loyal and upright, there is no such thing as you! Get out of the Wang family!"
Wang Chengming yelled, "Get out if you want! It's better to leave cleanly, so that I can marry her when the time comes!"
Wang Shouyu couldn't bear it any longer, and slapped Wang Chengming to the ground with a slap. He covered his heart and gasped for breath, pointing at Wang Chengming and continued to curse: "You, you want to piss me off to death! What a sin! The Wang family is worthy of the heavens, the earth, and the king. We are upright and honest, but you... are so dirty and vulgar!"
Wang Chengming, who was scolded severely, lowered his head and said nothing.
As the saying goes, family disgrace should not be made public. Wang Shouxu scolded his own son in such a way, which shows that he was so angry that he could not control himself.
Xiao Zhinian glanced at him, then turned his gaze to Wang Chengming, who already had a bruised nose and swollen eyes.
These were originally family affairs of their palace. Even though Xiao Zhinian was the king, it was inconvenient for him to interfere. However, Wang Chengming's appearance reminded Xiao Zhinian of himself and Shen Zhejiang——
His father had also tried to stop him in this way before.
"How about this..."
Unexpectedly, as soon as Xiao Zhinian opened his mouth, Wang Shouyi confronted him directly: "Your Majesty is still young, but it is impossible for him not to understand the principles and laws. The relationship between the monarch and his subjects, and between father and son, has always been governed by laws. How can a sister and brother marry each other, which is against the laws of nature! In short, I do not agree to this marriage! Unless you step over my dead body!!"
The remaining half of the stick hit Wang Chengming on the head, causing it to bleed.
Wang Chengming snorted unconvincedly: "I didn't expect you to agree!"
The same stubborn temper.
Xiao Zhinian raised his eyebrows and said, "Kicked out of the house? I'm kind enough to take you in?"
Wang Chengming wiped the blood off his face, stood up shakily, and gave Xiao Zhinian a bitter smile: "No need, thank you, Your Majesty, I will return to the northern border tomorrow."
Xiao Zhinian nodded and said, "Okay."
Galloping on horseback, raising dust.
Love in the world is always so tortuous. Some people push away the clouds but still cannot find the moonlight, while others piece together the fragments of a bronze mirror but find that a corner is still missing.
For the rest of our long life, either you torture me or I torture you. What does it mean to be together forever?
Xiao Zhinian also wanted to know.
Farm outside the city.
Huaiwen was pacing anxiously outside the wooden house. When he saw Xiao Zhinian finally appear, he immediately reported everything that happened that morning to him.
"Mr. Shen refused to eat no matter what, and insisted that I untie his rope. I dare not act on my own. Your Majesty, please go and have a look. Mr. Shen's hands are bleeding."
When Xiao Zhinian heard this, he quickened his pace.
Shen Zhejiang had already heard Xiao Zhinian's voice inside and decided to ignore him, so he turned over with his hands bound and faced the wooden wall.
"Sir, I'm here."
Xiao Zhinian walked over and casually placed the food box on the nearby small table. There was rice and vegetables on the table, all neatly arranged, and the rice had not been touched at all.
Is Shen Zhejiang planning to go on a hunger strike?
