Chapter 428: Two Generals Fight
Although Luo Jingfeng is fierce and domineering to outsiders, Shen Yibai is Zong Jincheng's brother, and he will not hurt anyone regardless of whether he agrees or not.
Shen Yibai's heart was moved for a moment, but he soon shook his head frantically again: "Forget it, forget it, I dare not. Luo Jingfeng adopted you as his son because of your father. I heard that he always dislikes civil servants. If I ask him about adopting me as my adoptive father, he might ask my whole family to kowtow to him, and he might not agree."
Zong Jincheng's mouth twitched.
It’s no wonder that Shen Yibai’s description was so accurate. He also felt that Luo Jingfeng was capable of doing such a thing.
Other courtyard, small pavilion.
Xu Wan patiently said to him, "We understand that the Duke has good intentions, but the Ministry of Rites is responsible for supervising the imperial examinations. There are so many people watching our families. If the news gets out accidentally, it may become a stain on Jin Cheng."
Luo Jingfeng said impatiently, "What is there to worry about? I asked the two people from the Ministry of Rites to come here to give classes for a few days. Do they dare to go back and say something nonsense?"
Zong Zhao replied bluntly: "Why don't you just ask the emperor to teach them?"
Luo Jingfeng's face instantly turned black.
He was accusing himself of being too brazen.
Xu Wan secretly suppressed her laughter in her heart: It has to be Zong Zhao, a ruthless man with few words, and he gets straight to the point with every word.
Luo Jingfeng gritted his teeth and said, "Zong Zhao, are you determined to make things difficult for me?"
Zong Zhao said coldly: "You are too arrogant. Arrogant troops will be defeated. Don't you understand this principle?"
"Do you want to fight?" Luo Jingfeng remembered that Zong Jincheng had been saying that Zong Zhao was better than him, and he felt very unconvinced.
Zong Zhao asked Xu Wan to step back. He adjusted his sleeves and said calmly, "The Emperor has urged me to take action recently. It just so happens that you are here too. Let's have a fight."
Luo Jingfeng knew that he was being asked to act, and he was still being used at this critical moment. He was so angry that he kicked him and said, "It's useless even if your wife is here to watch today. I must teach you a lesson!"
Luo Jingfeng has been famous for many years, and his martial arts skills are unfathomable. Even if he didn't hit Zong Zhao with this kick, he broke a piece of the rockery next to him, making a loud noise.
Xu Wan was stunned.
Oh my god! It's a live fight between masters!
Zong Zhao fought him bare-handed for dozens of rounds, and one of his punches went straight for Luo Jingfeng's face. The punch was very powerful, turning his face blue and purple, and causing him to spit out blood.
Luo Jingfeng spat and said, "How dare you hit me in the face?"
What a shame!!!
Zong Zhao said: "Acting must be real, and it won't show if you hit someone on the body."
"Okay, okay...you'd better give me a bruise too!" Luo Jingfeng rushed forward again, punching him hard, leaving no room for his opponent.
Xu Wan was originally sitting and watching the fight, but when she saw the two men hitting each other in the face, she stood up nervously. These two men were not holding back when it came to their attacks. If they continued to fight like this, would they be able to keep their dignity intact?
Xu Wan weakly called out: "Zong Zhao...are you okay? It's enough that you can see that your face is bruised. There's no need to really beat your face into a pig's head..."
Two great generals got into a fight and smashed each other's faces. This would have caused a huge uproar in the entire capital.
Zong Zhao retreated back. He was hit twice on the chin by Luo Jingfeng, who hit him on the same spot on purpose. It looked quite serious. But it was even worse when he saw Luo Jingfeng. There was a big blue mark on his face, as if he was pinched by a ghost, which directly affected the handsomeness of his whole face.
Xu Wan didn't dare to make any expression, for fear of making Luo Jingfeng so angry that he would continue fighting with Zong Zhao.
Luo Jingfeng walked away swearing, still muttering, "Damn Zong Zhao, it's a pity that I was so nice to him."
The guard who was waiting outside to meet him was shocked when he saw this, and hurried forward to ask, "Duke, did you have a fight with General Zong?"
Luo was very annoyed and said coldly: "Is this what you should ask? Go home!"
"yes……"
Although Luo Jingfeng didn't say it directly, anyone could guess from his face that he had just been in a fierce fight that he had a fight with Zong Zhao, otherwise no one else would have the courage to do that.
The news quickly spread throughout the capital.
In the bedroom.
Xu Wan was applying medicine to Zong Zhao. She said softly, "Why are you two like children? You have to fight. You can just have a quarrel to pretend to break up, just like you did with His Highness."
Zong Zhao said bluntly: "I've wanted to beat him up for a long time."
Xu Wan paused, wondering, "Ah? Why beat him up? Because he's too arrogant? But I feel like he's very good to Jin Cheng, more like a real father than a real father."
Zong Zhao said coldly: "It's so rude to you. I don't like it."
Xu Wan was frightened like a quail. She thought carefully about the attitude of Luo Jingfeng when he spoke to her...wasn't that the same attitude he had towards everyone else?
She said weakly, "That's just how Luo Jingfeng is. Apart from treating Jin Cheng differently, he treats everyone with such arrogance that they deserve a beating."
Zong Zhao said: "That's why I wanted to beat him up."
Xu Wan couldn't help laughing and continued to apply medicine to him: "He's just a child. Even if you fight with him, he won't change. He's just venting his anger?"
"Um."
Xu Wan's smile grew bigger and bigger. She teased, "Then don't go out for the next few days. Luo Jingfeng's facial injuries have been seen by others, so yours won't matter. Trick him and pretend that he's injured."
Zong Zhao laughed softly and whispered, "That makes sense."
…
Luo Jingfeng's plan to invite the Minister of Rites to give lectures was ruined as expected, and the entire key class breathed a sigh of relief.
The situation in the court was also unpredictable.
The outside world was spreading rumors that the Duke of Huguo and General Zong had fallen out, and that they had broken up after a fight at the Zong family... for a month.
A month later, Luo Jingfeng went to the Zong family again. No one knew what they said during the visit, but he looked very happy when he came out.
The streets were abuzz with discussions, and the rumors were getting more and more outrageous, especially in the major storytelling houses:
"What do you mean by breakup? It's just a fight. What's wrong with men? Can't men quarrel with each other?"
"We martial artists have tempers that come and go quickly. A month has passed. What deep hatred can't be resolved?"
"Look at the Duke of the Guard's smile. If I hadn't known that the Zong family had no girls waiting to get married, I would have suspected that he was planning to marry into the Zong family."
"Hey, hey? Shhh, what nonsense are you talking about? The Duke of the Protectorate went to the Zong family to look for General Zong. They fought side by side on the battlefield, and their friendship is indestructible."
"A famous Pingxi general, with a keen eye for talent, selected another person as a general. The two generals joined forces to conquer the three cities of You. This friendship, this trust, this relationship, anyone who heard about it would exclaim that it was a match made in heaven!"
"Oh my god...oh what?"
"The sky is falling..."
The storytelling studio was soon shut down by Luo Jingfeng.
