Chapter 150

Whether it was in the South Hall or the North Hall, the martial arts competition was in full swing.

Cui Hengyue was able to eat at least one meal a day in the North Palace, but she would lose once or twice a day.

And in Nandian, since Yunchen entered the ring, she has not won, and instead fights Su Biwen every day.

Eight times out of ten, both sides suffer.

Such days lasted for more than half a month.

At noon that day, they lost the contest again, Cui Hengyue got up angrily, and walked towards the North Vault without saying a word.

Song Zhuoxing got up and chased after him: "Miss Cui, wait—"

Cui Hengyue didn't stop.

Song Zhuoxing had no choice but to quicken his pace and rushed to Cui Hengyue: "Miss Cui, let's talk."

Cui Hengyue was forced to stop, very unhappy: "What do you want to say?"

"If we keep losing every day like this, we will always have to eat fast."

Seeing that Cui Hengyue's expression was slightly relaxed, Song Zhuoxing continued: "Actually, with your strength, Miss Cui, defeating Captain Yun is no problem.

"It's just that you and Su Biwen have old grievances and refuse to cooperate well, so we keep losing.

"If you can let go of the past grievances, and the three of us work together, we will definitely win the competition."

Cui Hengyue raised her eyebrows, and said calmly, "You want me to forget about Su Biwen's hurting me and work with him?"

Song Zhuoxing heard her reluctance, and quickly explained: "It's not for you to forgive him for this, but during the martial arts competition, temporarily forget your grievances and win the competition together.

"For things other than martial arts, you can do whatever you want?"

Cui Hengyue didn't speak, but her expression was not very good.

Song Zhuoxing said again: "You promised Li Benru that they would win the contest and share food with them.

"Now we have lost more than half a month in a row. Although they have not complained, they must have some dissatisfaction in their hearts. This is not good for you."

Cui Hengyue was silent: "...This is not something I can decide."

Seeing Cui Hengyue let go, Song Zhuoxing immediately said: "If you agree, I will go to Su Biwen."

Cui Hengyue thought about it for a while: "You are right, for the sake of Li Benru and others, I should also abandon the past."

Hearing this, Song Zhuoxing smiled: "Then I'll go find Su Biwen now."

Cui Hengyue smiled, noncommittal.

"Saburo, Yamashita..."

At this time, Runzhu ran over, but when he saw Cui Hengyue, he immediately closed his mouth.

Cui Hengyue glanced at Runzhu lightly, pushed Song Zhuoxing away, and walked towards the gate of the North Vault.

"Let's go, go to the dining hall." Song Zhuoxing took one last look at Cui Hengyue and walked towards the dining hall.

One step, two steps, three steps... Cui Hengyue said silently in her heart as she walked forward slowly.

When she counted to ten steps, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

She turned around and looked back, but she did not see Song Zhuoxing's master and servant, so she quickly ran after him.

"Miss Cui must have nothing to eat at noon today. You will be smarter later, and take more food if you can."

"Okay." Run Zhu subconsciously agreed.

But the next moment, he reacted: "No, you told me yesterday that Miss Shuifu would secretly deliver food to Miss Cui every day.

"Even if Miss Cui can't go to the dining hall, she won't starve to death, so why do you bother?"

Song Zhuoxing glanced at him lightly, but didn't answer.

Seeing that his master was angry, Runzhu quickly changed the subject: "By the way, Qingbai sent a message from down the mountain that we don't have enough money.

"Sanlang, why don't you tell Miss Cui the truth, 10 taels of gold is really not a small sum, we can't raise it."

"No." Song Zhuoxing rejected Runzhu's proposal without thinking.

He continued: "I promised her things before, but because I had too many scruples, I broke my promise to her.

"This time, no matter what, I can't break my promise again."

Although Runzhu could understand his thoughts, he still reminded him: "I don't want you to break your promise.

"However, we don't have that much money now, and Mrs. Cui only gives you three months, where can we raise this money?

"If you go back...to ask the mansion for help, the Patriarch will definitely beat you to death."

Song Zhuoxing's face darkened, and he thought for a while: "Those people in the mansion are staring at me, so I can't go back to the mansion for help.

"If my father finds out about this, he will definitely be furious.

"In this way, you send a letter to Qingbai, asking him to sell the property under my name as soon as possible..."

Before he finished speaking, Runzhu interrupted: "Sanlang, are you crazy? Those properties are the foundation of your life. If you don't have anything, those people will be even more unscrupulous."

"Those people are nothing to worry about." Song Zhuoxing said indifferently, "You don't need to persuade me anymore, I've made up my mind, you should send the message quickly.

"By the way, pass on the order and do this in secret, so as not to disturb other people."

Seeing that he couldn't be persuaded, Runzhu had no choice but to follow his orders.

The footsteps became farther and farther away, and the figures of the two gradually disappeared from the veranda.

Cui Hengyue came out from the dark, looking at the direction where Song Zhuoxing's master and servant disappeared, with a complicated expression on his face.

After taking a few glances, she turned and walked towards the North Catacombs.

However, after walking five or six steps, Cui Hengyue suddenly changed direction and stepped on the stairs to Guanyin Pavilion.

When she arrived at the Guanyin Pavilion, she didn't go to find Mu Yun, but went directly to the sky plank road.

"stop."

The guards guarding the plank road in the sky stopped Cui Hengyue: "Idlers, please don't come near here."

Cui Hengyue said expressionlessly, "I want to see the King of Chu."

Guard: "Do you have a warrant from General Mu Yun? If you don't have one, you can't go there."

"..."

Cui Hengyue was speechless, and looked at the plank road in the sky with her head, still feeling terrified.

The next moment, Cui Hengyue turned around and set foot on the road to Guanyin Pavilion.

After seeing Mu Yun, Cui Hengyue said bluntly: "I want to see the king of Chu, give me the warrant."

Mu Yun stood up: "I'll take you there."

After finishing speaking, he went straight past Cui Hengyue and walked outside.

Cui Hengyue hurriedly chased after him.

After meeting the King of Chu, Cui Hengyue cut to the chase: "I've made my choice, and I'm going to go through eight battles."

Hearing this, King Chu's frown instantly relaxed: "Okay, when do you want to go down the mountain?"

"Eh..." Cui Hengyue thought for a while, "Two months later."

"Okay, you can step back." King Chu began to chase people away.

Cui Hengyue didn't move: "I want to see Xie Yu."

The King of Chu's expression froze: "What did you see him for?"

Cui Hengyue: "He is my great aunt's brother. Speaking of which, he is still my relative. Isn't it reasonable to look at relatives?"

Facing the righteous Cui Hengyue, King Chu was speechless.

He pondered for a moment, and finally agreed: "Okay, I'll let Mu Yun accompany you."

Cui Hengyue was overjoyed, but worried on the face: "You locked Xie Yu in the South Catacombs for 15 years and didn't kill him, there must be some grievances between the two of you.

"I'll go to the South Cave later, maybe Xie Yu will make nonsense and make you useless.

"Would you like to tell me a few words now, what kind of grievances are there between you..."
