Traveling through Du He, Li Chengqian's rebellion begins

As the saying goes, the more a father-in-law looks at his son-in-law, the more satisfied he is.

Looking at the sturdy Xi Junmai, Cheng Yaojin patted his shoulder vigorously. After seeing that he did not move at all, he could not help but praise him.

"Yes, the body is quite strong!"

"When you come to my house to drink today, remember to bring your weapon with you. I will fight you for a few moves."

"If you can't beat me, don't even think about marrying my beloved daughter!"

What?

Want to fight with Cheng Yaojin, your future father-in-law?

When Xi Junmai heard Cheng Yaojin's request, a look of embarrassment suddenly appeared on his dull face.

After all, Cheng Yaojin's martial arts skills are quite impressive, and Xi Junmai has no way of controlling the outcome with ease. He might even need to use all his strength.

If he won, his father-in-law Cheng Yaojin would probably be angry, but if he lost, he was afraid of being called incompetent.

It’s so hard to find a wife!

Su Dingfang, who was standing behind the two of them, also heard what Cheng Yaojin said, so he spoke up to help his good friend Xi Junmai.

"Duke Lu, everyone knows that you are the strongest and bravest among the three armies. How can a young man like General Xi be your opponent?"

"It is too difficult to ask General Xi to defeat you!"

Soon after, Wang Jun'e also came over and agreed with a smile.

"Duke Lu's spear skills are unmatched in the world. I'm afraid only Duke E can fight with you."

"If Junmai embarrasses himself in your hands and is seen by your beloved daughter, won't it affect Junmai's image in your daughter's heart?"

Hearing the compliments from Su Dingfang and Wang Jun'er, a happy smile immediately appeared on Cheng Yaojin's face.

These young people are really good, and each one has better vision than the other.

Just as Cheng Yaojin was feeling proud and was about to say something humble, a rough voice with contempt came from behind.

"Lord Lu, you will be celebrating your 60th birthday in four years. Can you compete with Xi Junmai?"

"Don't let a junior defeat you and bring shame to us old generals."

Hey!

Is there anyone who dares to challenge Cheng Yaojin, such a tough guy?

Everyone turned their heads to look in the direction where the voice came from. When they found out that the person who despised Cheng Yaojin was Duke of Chen Hou Junji, their faces all became strange.

Two generals with similar status and position are facing off. This is going to be a good show to watch!

Cheng Yaojin frowned and said, "Hou Junji, what are you talking about? Although I am a little old, my martial arts skills are still there!"

"You are not good at martial arts, so don't bring me along."

The officials who were about to leave the Taiji Hall stopped after seeing this scene, and all of them had expressions of watching a show on their faces.

There are not many people who can make Cheng Yaojin, a rogue, lose face, and I don't know if Hou Junji can make Cheng Yaojin lose face once.

Hou Junji said with a smile: "Duke Lu, they say that the young are better than the strong. I don't think I am a match for a young man like Xi Junmai?"

"You are a few years older than me, how can you be a match for Xi Junmai?"

"If you can beat Xi Junmai, the only result is that Xi Junmai did not go all out, and your victory is not fair."

"Unless you go out and have a fistfight now, and we can be witnesses?"

When they heard Hou Junji instigating Cheng Yaojin and Xi Junmai to compete, the group of civil and military officials who were keen to watch the fun all became excited.

They all raised their hands and echoed loudly.

"Duke Lu, if you are a real man, compete with Xi Junmai now!"

"It's no use just bragging, we still need a competition to know if you are capable or not!"

"Lord Lu, you are not afraid of competing with Xi Jun, right?"

When Du He saw that these ministers were all making a fuss and putting Cheng Yaojin, a tough guy, on the fire, he suddenly became interested.

So Du He turned into a spectator and gathered around to watch the show with a smile on his face.

Cheng Yaojin, who came from a military family, was a shrewd man. Du He also wanted to see how Cheng Yaojin would resolve this situation.

Before Cheng Yaojin could say anything, Xi Junmai, with a panicked look on his face, responded first.

"Duke Lu is the bravest of the three armies. How can I be his opponent?"

"Please don't stir up trouble, or I will be punished by Duke Lu in public, which will be disgraceful to me!"

When Cheng Yaojin saw that Xi Junmai took the initiative to give him a way out, he approved of Xi Junmai even more.

This young man looks silly, but he has a good character.

Then Cheng Yaojin turned to look at Hou Junji, who had a playful expression on his face. He rolled up his wide sleeves and spoke with gritted teeth with a ferocious look on his face.

"Hou Junji, shall we practice first?"

"After I have dealt with you, my little monkey, I will come and fight Xi Junmai for three hundred rounds!"

Hou Junji is still trying to provoke the other person, without even considering who Grandpa Cheng is?

Even with such despicable little tricks, Cheng Yaojin himself is an expert among experts.

When Hou Junji saw that Cheng Yaojin was going to take real action, his face suddenly changed, and then he waved his hand and said.

"Duke Lu, you are joking. I am no match for you."

"The Ministry of Chancellery still has government affairs that need my attention, so I'll go over there first."

Hou Junji said this without hesitation, and strode out of the Taiji Hall.

He is now the Shangshu You Pushe. If he is humiliated in public by a scoundrel like Cheng Yaojin, will he ever be able to face people again?

When the other officials who instigated the incident saw Hou Junji admit defeat, they also turned around and left, not daring to say anything to provoke this rogue Cheng Yaojin.

When Cheng Yaojin saw the officials who wanted to see him make a fool of himself leaving, he spat with disdain.

"Pooh!"

"A bunch of hypocrites want to instigate me and my son-in-law to fight?"

He even went out to find out how Grandpa Cheng got the nickname of the devil!

After most of the onlookers had left, Cheng Yaojin spoke seriously.

"Jun Mai, you better bring your weapon with you and fight with me!"

"I'm in a good mood today, so you can't spoil my mood."

Xi Junmai knew he couldn't refuse, so he clasped his fists in response.

"As ordered!"

Cheng Yaojin patted Xi Junmai's shoulder again, then glanced at Du He who was standing on the side watching the show and said.

"What a good general! He is strong and healthy!"

"Unlike Du He, the weakling. Yesterday, I only used 30% of my strength to hit him, and his pretty face changed color."

Du He curled his lips and said, "Duke Lu, do you always use 30% of your strength?"

He didn't even want to expose Cheng Yaojin. He patted his shoulder with his hand yesterday, and he seemed to be using all his strength.

"Hehe." Cheng Yaojin laughed twice, and then invited Du He: "Du He, after you finish your shift today, you and Jun Mai come to my mansion for a drink."

Du He glanced at Xi Junmai, then nodded in response.

"it is good."

...

After leaving Taiji Hall, Du He first returned to the Ministry of Works to handle today's government affairs, and then took the invitation to invite all his friends to attend his concubine's wedding banquet.

Sinong Temple.

Wang Jingzhi, the deputy director of the Sinong Temple, was so surprised that his eyes almost popped out when he received the invitation handed to him by Du He.

Wang Jingzhi said with trembling lips: "Brother Du, how come you are so lucky?"

"It's fine if Princess Chengyang allows you to take a concubine, but why does she allow you to hold a banquet openly?"

Before Du He could react, Wang Jing knelt on the ground and grabbed Du He's official robe and said.

"Master Du, please teach me a few moves!"

"Life is hard, brother!"
