Tang Shiyue said, "That's fine, but you're so powerful after all the trouble. Are you going to give the useless people a way to live? You are a young hero who made a name for yourself, but how can you make those people who are older and live like dogs feel? You are dedicated to making progress and have no intention of doing anything wrong, but how can you make those petty people who are always thinking about picking on others feel? The Huo family has been a great general for generations, and now you have a great calligrapher and painter. Everyone thought you were going to give up martial arts and pursue literature, and they were secretly rejoicing, but you came from behind and surpassed your predecessors, giving those rats in the gutter a slap in the face. How can they bear it? It would be strange if they don't kill you!"
Du Kerong: “…”
Everyone: “…”
Her preparation was so perfect, and her tone and expression were flawless, that everyone only came to their senses after she had finished speaking.
Then some people burst into laughter, while others laughed out loud, saying, "You're right, young general, you're really going too far!"
Du Kerong was furious: "Are you here to humiliate me?"
"Huh?" Tang Shiyue asked, "How come you just noticed something so obvious now?"
Du Kerong: “…”
He was angry and anxious.
The jealousy that was suppressed in the darkest part of his heart was brought to the surface by her with just a few words, which made him extremely embarrassed and extremely angry.
...
...
He glared at her angrily: "You really know how to flatter him. Huo Yi is just a fool who doesn't do his job properly. What's more..."
"Not doing your job?" Tang Shiyue chuckled and interrupted him directly: "What you said is really funny! Don't you know what position Huo Yi holds in the literary circle? He is the best in the world, isn't he? How many talented people with great reputations in the world are proud to get a painting from him. A calligraphy and painting master with so many works has received such high praise while he is still alive. It's almost unprecedented, if not unparalleled."
She sneered and glanced at him: "Is this called not doing one's job? Did a dog teach you to study? You can't even use an idiom! If this is called not doing one's job, then how many people in the world are crying and shouting that they don't want to do their job! Forget about a lifetime, just painting one picture is enough for them to become famous."
Duke Rong's face changed with anger: "So what? The border is where wars are fought. Even if he is powerful, if he can't fight, he is not doing his job properly!"
Tang Shiyue's expression became serious: "You are right!"
Duke Rong was stunned.
Tang Shiyue continued, "The Huo family is a family of divine generals after all. Although Huo Yi is powerful, he is powerful in the wrong direction and does not meet the expectations of the world. So after one generation, they turned back to the main topic. Isn't this why you have Huo Qijing, a descendant of a divine general who crushes you everywhere, so much so that you are jealous and want to send people to kill him?"
She smiled apologetically: "It's a pity that you can't kill him just because you want to. A god general will always be a god general, and a loser, ahem, that thing will always be that thing. That's why Huo Qijing is unscathed, but all your people were wiped out!"
Everyone: “Puhahaha!”
Some even cheered, "Good! You're right!"
Duke could no longer tolerate it and pounced on her. Huo Qijing was prepared and pulled her back and rushed forward like a fly.
Tang Shiyue thought he was going to see a fight scene... and was ready to continue to cheer, but Huo Qijing kicked him, and he fell to the ground with a thud, unable to get up.
Tang Shiyue was at a loss for a moment: "A Jing, was I unconscious for a while just now?"
Huo Qijing was stunned, and quickly turned around to help her: "Are you feeling unwell?"
"No," Tang Shiyue shook her head and pointed to the ground with a serious expression: "I just feel that I seem to have overlooked a lot of processes."
Huo Qijing didn't know whether to laugh or cry. The people he brought with him were already holding their stomachs, laughing so hard that they couldn't stop. Du Kerong was shaking with anger: "I'm injured. If you have the guts, come and fight me after I'm well again!"
"Xiao Du! Just be more careful," Tang Shiyue said earnestly, "Don't say harsh words casually. How could you forget so quickly? The reason why we are here is, in the final analysis, because you can't beat him even when you are in a good mood!"
The people at the back were laughing like crazy, and Du Kerong fainted from anger.
After Huo Qijing brought his men out, everyone suddenly fell silent.
After a long while, someone said, "He is afraid that Du Qisheng will know. It is obvious that Du Qisheng should not know about these things."
Huo Qijing nodded, and Tang Shiyue said, "It doesn't matter whether you know it or not. No matter how close your nephews and nieces are, they can never be closer than your own son."
She made a note in her heart. What's more, Du Qisheng went to Longmen Town in person for this son, which showed that Du Qisheng still loved this son very much.
Everyone was speechless, and someone asked, "Then what should we do now, young master?"
Huo Qijing shook his head: "Ayue is right. It doesn't matter whether Du Qisheng knows about it or not. Since Du Kerong doesn't like me so much, I can't go to Northwest Pass."
"That's fine," someone said, "In fact, it's not appropriate to go to the Northwest Pass. Even if Du Qisheng wants to take care of you, he should also consider your name 'Huo'."
"But if we don't go to the Northwest Pass, where can we go?" Someone said in a deep voice: "The Huo family has been guarding the northwest for generations, and they don't have much friendship with other generals. If we go somewhere else, it will be a long road, and we have to slowly gain experience."
Huo Qijing hummed: "I understand."
An older man advised him in a deep voice: "It may not be a bad thing to endure a little longer. Huo family... In fact, you don't have to think about reviving the Huo family's reputation all the time. Everything should be done step by step."
Huo Qijing still just nodded.
Without saying much, they went their separate ways.
Tang Shiyue took out the ghost tooth grass from his arms, squatted on the ground, smashed it with a stone, and then kicked it into the river: "I hope that Du Kerong will never find the ghost tooth grass again. No matter what disease he has, it will never be cured!"
Huo Qijing couldn't help but smile and touched her head: "Ghost Tooth Herb is rare, he may really not be able to find it. Okay, don't be angry anymore, the Du family has no obligation to help me."
"So what!" Tang Shiyue said angrily, "I only help my relatives and not the people! Anyway, I don't like the Du family!"
She held his hand and said, "Don't worry, Jing. Maybe we can turn a disaster into a blessing! Maybe we can see the light at the end of the tunnel!"
"Well," Huo Qijing smiled and said, "What Madam Fu said must be right."
The two returned to the village.
The next day, Huo Qijing began to teach her whip training. He looked normal, as if he was not affected at all.
A day later, Tang Shiyue discovered that he began to look at some information about coastal defense warships, as if he was preparing to go to the coastal border.
On the one hand, she was proud that "my A Jing will never be defeated", but on the other hand, she was very angry at Du Kerong's narrow-mindedness and thought to herself that she would remember this grudge.
But even Tang Shiyue didn't expect that her crow's mouth would be so effective.
Huo Qijing's people will certainly not give up surveillance on Du Kerong. Who knows what else he will do?
And because all the private guards sent to protect him were sent out by him to kill Huo Qijing, and Huo Qijing was not the Holy Father, so he could not return him. Therefore, Du Kerong was left alone, and it was not easy for him to investigate.
Soon, they got some news.
It is said that because Du Kerong did not receive the ghost tooth grass, Su Ji announced that the place was abandoned.
Then Du Keyong went crazy and actually beat Su Ji. It is said that his attitude was extremely bad. He cursed Su Ji for being a quack doctor and made him very angry. Then he announced that all disciples of Jishidiang would never treat members of the Du family again.
As the oldest and most senior ancestor of Jishidi, Su Ji made this decision. Jishidi in Chang'an City immediately released the news. Naturally, outsiders had many different opinions and speculations.
Du Qisheng's mother, brother, eldest son and grandson were all in Chang'an, and he was a large family. Being publicly rejected by Jishidiang was not only embarrassing, but if something happened, he would also lose a chance to survive.
Moreover, Su Ji had a great reputation in the Imperial Medical Bureau. They could already imagine how difficult it would be to hire an imperial physician if something happened at home in the future.
All these things, plus his youngest son's impotence, were definitely enough to make Du Qisheng very upset.
At this moment, even Huo Qijing's men came to ask him: "Young Master, do you think this has anything to do with your Lady Fu? This is too unlucky!"
Someone even said to him directly, "Young Master, unless Madam Fu doesn't want you anymore, you must never abandon your wife and children. Otherwise, you don't know what will happen!"
Huo Qijing: “…”
I want to throw it away, but I have to have something to throw it away! I don’t even have a name yet!
