Chapter 8 I’ll tell you when you’re done!

Over and over again, the two people in the rain remained in a stalemate for half a quarter of an hour.

The woman in black was very tough, and never softened even a little bit from beginning to end. She cursed, threatened, and was hysterical, but she never said the word "submit".

Zuo Lingquan doesn't believe in evil either. He follows the rules and is reasonable, but when faced with someone who can't afford to lose and makes trouble unreasonably, he has to teach the other person what "martial ethics" is. Otherwise, it will be endless and he can't admit his mistake first?

The two people have conflicting tempers, and neither one is willing to give in, but it cannot continue like this forever.

The woman in black was controlled by others, but finally gained the upper hand. After being punished many times, she gradually stopped talking and struggling. She just lay on Zuo Lingquan's lap, gritting her silver teeth and breathing rapidly.

Zuo Lingquan couldn't help but spend so much time. Seeing that the other party no longer struggled, he said softly:

"In a duel with someone, you have to win and lose. Otherwise, if someone can beat you, they will kill you. Fortunately, you met me. If you were so messy in the world, you would not survive more than three days. If you don't struggle,

, I will treat you as if you have given up and let you go. If you are not done yet, then let’s continue and see if it hurts you or me.”

The woman in black lay on Zuo Lingquan's lap and didn't respond. She just took a deep breath.

Seeing this, Zuo Lingquan loosened his hands and feet.

The woman in black jumped up like a frightened rabbit. Ignoring the burning pain on her back, she turned around and picked up the sword from the ground.

Zuo Lingquan frowned and held the hilt of the sword.

No matter how stubborn a person is, there is no reason for him to be beaten. The woman in black was filled with shame, anger and humiliation, but she did not attack Zuo Lingquan again. Instead, she quickly walked out of the alley with her sword in hand and said coldly.

Finished sentence:

"Just wait for me."

Zuo Lingquan stood up, sheathed his sword, and patted his robe:

"Brother, if you don't have a long memory and only hold grudges, then don't practice martial arts in the future, or you will die early. If you are not convinced, you can come to me at any time if you want to challenge me. If you are reasonable, I will be reasonable."

"Bah - shameless."

The woman in black was so angry that she couldn't hear anything. She turned around and kicked a broken brick towards Zuo Lingquan, and then ran out quickly, as if she was afraid of being caught.

Zuo Lingquan turned sideways to avoid the broken bricks, not bothering to worry about it anymore.

But watching the woman drift away, Zuo Lingquan suddenly remembered something very important again, and said from a distance:

"By the way, my brother said that as long as I can survive a cup of tea, he will introduce me to Qihuang Valley. Does this still count?"

The woman in black, who had already walked away, suddenly stopped in her steps, obviously wanting to turn around and curse.

However, those in power should follow their instructions and the other party is shameless, so she cannot follow them and act rogue.

After hesitating for a moment, the woman in black fumbled around her waist, took out a jade pendant, turned around and threw it to Zuo Lingquan:

"Take the jade pendant and go to Qihuang Valley. Someone will take you in. Also, today's matter will not just be forgotten. Just wait for me and I will let you understand how much trouble you have caused.

trouble."

Zuo Lingquan took the jade pendant. There was a green bamboo engraved on the round jade pendant, and the word "Wu" was on the back. It was used as an identity card, and it still had residual warmth when he carried it with him. He rubbed it twice, smiled and clasped his fists in salute:

"Thank you, Senior Brother Long. If Senior Brother is really resentful, I will stand here and let Senior Brother Long fight back. We are all a family, why should we be so angry?"

call back?

The woman in black endured the pain on her back and thought about how she would look when she hit Zuo Lingquan...

Can not bear to look!

"Bah - shameless little thief, you are dead, I tell you..."

The woman in black turned around and spat before disappearing at the end of the alley with heavy footsteps.

Zuo Lingquan curled his lips slightly, weighed the jade pendant in his hand, and walked towards the wine shop in the distance with satisfaction.

As for how the woman in black will retaliate against him, Zuo Lingquan is not worried. Being able to give him the jade pendant shows that this woman still obeys the rules in her heart, but her temper is a bit unruly. The worst is that she will be thrown away by her senior sister when she enters Qihuang Valley.

Brush the toilet.

Only when a man can bend and stretch, and endure hardships, can he become a superior man. As long as he can walk on the road to immortality, this little difficulty is nothing.

However, thinking about choosing a prince-in-law the day after tomorrow, Zuo Lingquan sighed secretly.

If he is really chosen, his dream of practicing freely in the future will definitely come to naught.

At this moment, he could only hope that the eldest princess was blind and looked down on him, otherwise the great opportunity he encountered today would be wasted...

——

It was already dark, and even the gambling houses on the small streets had become quieter, leaving only Fengyue Alley where the laughter and laughter continued.

The door of Tangjia Restaurant was closed. Zuo Lingquan came to the door and picked up the oil-paper umbrella leaning against the door. Knowing that Tang Jingxun did not dare to sleep, he raised his hand and knocked on the door.

Dong Dong——

Behind the gate, there was some movement, like the sound of a kitchen knife being picked up secretly.

Zuo Lingquan saw this and said half-jokingly:

"Sister Tang, the vicious beast has been beaten away, don't worry."

Hearing Zuo Lingquan's voice, footsteps sounded in the hall. Soon, the door opened. Tang Jingxuan carefully glanced through the crack in the door, his eyes slightly nervous:

"Master Zuo, are you not injured?"

"No injuries. Sister Tang, go to bed early and remember to close the doors and windows. I'm going home first. Say goodbye."

After saying that, he handed the drink money to Tang Jingxun.

Tang Jingxun was still frightened by what happened during the day, not to mention that there was a "ferocious beast" there just now. The ferocious beast appeared at all times and never knew when it would come. She was a woman living here, so what was the use of just closing the door?

Looking at the one hundred taels of silver notes handed over by Zuo Lingquan, Tang Jingxuan's eyes were a little anxious. She was really embarrassed to say that she wanted Zuo Lingquan to help her keep vigil. She hesitated and hesitated:

"Young Master is helping the neighbors get rid of the bad things, how can you not even have a cup of tea? Hmm... Why don't you come in and have a rest, and wait until the rain subsides before leaving?"

Zuo Lingquan could see from Tang Jingxun's face that she was afraid of being alone. He thought about it and walked into the wine shop:

"Then I'll trouble Sister Tang. It's getting so late, Sister Tang, go and have a rest first. When the rain subsides, I can leave by myself and help you close the door."

There were customers in the store, so Tang Jingxun was too embarrassed to go back to the backyard to sleep, and did not dare to sleep.

She took a pot of wine and put it on the table, then brought a towel and handed it to Zuo Lingquan.

Zuo Lingquan wiped off the water stains on his body and sat by the window to drink. He did not stare at Tang Jingxuan, but focused his eyes on the distant imperial city, thinking about his future plans.

Tang Jingxuan sat by the stove where the wine was being warmed. He looked around and didn't know what to say. He was afraid that Zuo Lingquan would leave, so his expression was quite awkward.

Zuo Lingquan had nothing to say, and the two of them were silent for a long time. Zuo Lingquan suddenly heard several birds chirping in the backyard, and the sound of birds flying around in the cage.

twitter--

Zuo Lingquan turned his head and looked around. He couldn't see anything because of the curtain, so he took advantage of the situation and asked:

"Sister Tang still raises birds?"

Tang Jingxun was worried and had nothing to say, so he quickly answered with a smile:

"Yes, when I was drying rice, there was a stupid bird that came to eat every day. As time went by, it refused to leave, so I raised it to relieve boredom in my free time. It must have woken up now and found that I was not there, so it called me Woolen cloth."

Zuo Lingquan nodded: "It's quite difficult to live alone, but it's good to have a pet as a companion."

"Actually, it's okay to be alone. The neighbors are nice people. No one cares about my freedom. As long as there are no ferocious animals, life is pretty easy."

Tang Jingxun said this, but her expression was obviously uncomfortable. Her pupils reflected the dim light of the small stove, with a bit of sadness. She didn't want to talk more about this matter, so she changed the subject and said:

"I heard that we have to choose a consort the day after tomorrow. How should we choose a consort? It's like choosing an oiran. We stand on the stage and let the princess choose."

Zuo Lingquan held the wine bowl and thought about it, this is really the case:

"It's almost like a bunch of people get together and compete with each other, and the person who stands out the most is the prince-in-law."

"Comparing to what? Playing the piano and singing?"

"Equestrian and archery competitions and the like."

"It's not like I'm the number one scholar in martial arts. What better martial arts than horseback riding and archery?"

Zuo Lingquan drank some wine, maybe a little drunk, so he answered smoothly:

"These are all projects that test physical strength. The prince-in-law cannot hold an important position, and his only duty is to serve the princess. As the saying goes: only a cow that is exhausted and has not been plowed... is broken... is broken..."

At this point, Zuo Lingquan suddenly realized that he felt a little dizzy. He picked up the wine bowl and took a sip to cover up his embarrassment.

Tang Jingxun opened a wine shop in Linhefang, a place where three religions and nine streams were mixed. He had heard this saying and understood its meaning.

This kid knows so much...

She frowned slightly, with something unexpected and strange in her eyes. She turned around, turned her back to Zuo Lingquan and fiddled with the stove, and asked knowingly:

"what does it mean?"

"Well, it's nothing. The prince-in-law must be in good health and cannot die early and leave the princess a widow."

Zuo Lingquan explained casually, feeling embarrassed to talk nonsense anymore and looking at the rain outside the window.

After Tang Jingxuan experienced this episode, he couldn't speak anymore. He stared at the stove in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking about in his heart.

The night was already dark, the two of them said nothing, and the wine shop became quiet again.
To be continued...
