Peach Blossom at the Bottom of the Fan

Chapter 241 Duel
At this point, there is no need to choose.

Gu Sixiao could only keep her mouth shut and enjoy Yue Mudan's love.

Just looking at the things brought in every day, and thinking about the fact that she would need at least ten cars to hold these things when she returned to Jinan, she felt a little worried.

Yue Mudan bought it happily, and Mu Zihua didn't make a sound of objection. Even Rui'er joined in the fun, shouting that if there is something missing, use her.

"Sister, Mother has been saving my dowry for me since three years ago. There are a lot of things that are much more expensive now. Otherwise, ask Mother to bring mine to you first."

With Gu Sixiao in his arms, Ruier and her are so close that it seems that they have only known each other for less than a month, but they seem to have grown up together since childhood.

Since the long street assassination, the Mu family's father and daughter have really become closer to Gu Sixiao.Even Mu Zihua thanked him tactfully, and said that he made Gu Sixiao treat this place as his home.

For Mu Zihua who didn't want his master Gu Sixiao at the beginning, such words are already very rare.

However, even though the Mu family is far closer to her than the Xue family, Gu Sixiao still can't help thinking about Jinan.

Even if Mrs. Xue would never treat her like Yue Mudan, it was still her home.

There is a father like Xue Wen, there is also a shop she carefully manages, and there is Su Jingchun with whom she will be in love for life.

Before leaving the capital, Gu Sixiao planned to bid farewell to Sun Tiancang.

Su Jingchun smiled, "There's no need to say goodbye, Brother Sun is leaving the capital too."

In fact, Sun Tiancang can stay in the capital, because the emperor promoted him to be a mighty general because of his performance in the night of conspiracy. Although this is a false title and his rank is only promoted to the fifth rank, it is said that the emperor intends to appoint him as the deputy commander of the imperial forest army. But such an honor was rejected by Sun Tiancang.

"It's the same with me or without me in Beijing. There is no one or anything without me. Instead of staying in Beijing and wasting time, it's better to defend the land and open up the territory for me in Daxiying."

Like Su Jingchun, Sun Tiancang only wants to be an eagle flying with his head in the sky, and he doesn't want to be trapped in the capital.

But if such a wish spreads out, it becomes a feeling of not loving power and being loyal to the country.

Just like Su Jingchun said, before Gu Sixiao went to say goodbye to Sun Tiancang, Sun Tiancang came to the door.

However, it's not to say goodbye to Gu Sixiao, but to challenge Su Jingchun.

It's also a coincidence that Gu Sixiao was at Su's house that day, and was discussing how many cars to find for the dowry that Yue Mudan gave her.

People were still in the hall when they heard the roar in front of the gate.

Startled, Gu Sixiao thought for a moment that the prince had escaped and brought people to besiege the Su family.

But just for a moment, she woke up.

Even if the crown prince really escaped, he would only besiege the Su family first, but Prince Rui's mansion and the imperial palace.

After leaving the hall, the roar outside could be heard more clearly.

Only then did Gu Sixiao realize that someone was calling: "Su Jingchun, do you dare to fight?!"

The sound is like a bell, it is not one person shouting, but many people shouting together.

Turning her head and looking at Su Jingchun, she still wanted to say that she didn't know who was so over the top and bullied her like this.

But looking at the smile on the corner of Su Jingchun's mouth, it was obvious that he knew who it was.

Walking out of the gate slowly, Su Jingchun still had a smile on his face, as if he didn't take this matter to heart.

Su Mei, who was standing in front of the door, turned around and looked at Gu Sixiao with a bit of a weird look.

Su Zhu on the other side seemed a little excited.Turning around, she pointed straight at Su Jingchunle, "Master, you must beat him to the bum, let him know that you want to rob our mistress..."

Glancing out of the corner of his eye, Su Zhu covered his mouth when he saw Gu Sixiao.

Raising his eyebrows, Gu Sixiao glanced at Su Zhu strangely.

The Su family doesn't have a mistress, so if you want to talk about the mistress, you're referring to her.

So, people out there...

Her eyes flickered, and she somewhat guessed what was going on.

Without talking to Su Jingchun, she walked out quickly, but she was a little surprised at the first glance.

Outside the gate of the Su family, there were dozens of men standing. Although they had no armor, it was obvious that they were soldiers.

In front of these dozens of men, riding on a horse, the one with a sullen face was definitely Sun Tiancang.

What a nonsense!
Looking at the people in the distance, Gu Sixiao really felt his face was burning.

"Brother Tiancang," she stepped forward to call out, and whispered, "What are you doing? You came out with soldiers. If your immediate superior finds out, they will accuse you."

Without dismounting, Sun Tiancang looked at Gu Sixiao, and said warmly, "Hua'er, back off, today's matter has nothing to do with you. It was I who had an appointment with Su Jingchun a long time ago—Su Jingchun, today I have an appointment with you, how dare you accept it?" ?!"

Smiling and stepping forward, Su Jingchun took Gu Sixiao's hand and signaled her not to speak, then looked up at Sun Tiancang, "Why don't you dare? But, brother Sun, you and I need to make it clear in advance, this appointment, It's only about you and me, it has nothing to do with others. If you want to bet on anything, I won't answer you."

Looking over at Gu Sixiao, Sun Tiancang raised his head and said in a deep voice, "I, Sun Tiancang, are not that kind of despicable person! This battle is impossible if you don't fight. Instead of making me feel aggrieved, it's better to make you suffer! But Su Jingchun , you can rest assured that I, Sun Tiancang, am a man, and I will never get entangled or do rascal things."

Gu Sixiao's heart skipped a beat, she looked up at Sun Tiancang, and couldn't help but let out a low sigh.

These words sounded like they were meant for Su Jingchun, but in fact, they were meant for her.

She respects Sun Tiancang and doesn't want him to be entangled, but at this moment, she feels a little sad in her heart.

I'm afraid that this brother she has recognized will not have too many contacts in the future.

Although she felt uncomfortable, Gu Sixiao didn't speak, and didn't stop her.Let the two men decide the place to fight with two words.

The place for the battle is set at the Plum Blossom Forest of Wenchan Temple outside the city.

It is a good place for people in Beijing to enjoy the snow and plum blossoms in winter. Even in midsummer, when the leaves are lush, many tourists come here to play.

The mighty group of people, most of whom were tall and tall men, naturally attracted the attention of many people.

In less than a moment, the news of the decisive battle spread.Many tourists turned to watch the excitement.

There are even some people who came out from Beijing.

In the open space in front of the plum blossom forest, Su Jingchun and Sun Tiancang stood holding swords.

Gu Sixiao, who was standing in the crowd, was also a little nervous.Although she knew that this contest was to end immediately and that there would be no real casualties, she still couldn't suppress the tension in her heart.

One is her future husband-in-law, and the other is her righteous brother. How can she not be nervous when two people fight together?
Before Su Jingchun came on stage, Gu Sixiao still couldn't help begging him to "be merciful" after thinking about it.

Based on her knowledge, Su Jingchun's martial arts must be higher than Sun Tiancang's.

Su Jingchun smiled, looked at her, and asked with a smile, "Aren't you afraid that Brother Sun will get hurt by me?"

"How did you get hurt? I don't know what you are capable of?!"

One sentence made Su Jingchun laugh.

"Don't worry, I won't hurt him."

A promise made Su Jingchun's performance on the field relatively negative.

Dodging more, attacking less, on the contrary, Sun Tiancang pressed on every step of the way, frightening with his sword.

Although Su Jingchun evaded cleverly, Gu Sixiao who was outside the court looked very nervous, and felt that maybe he shouldn't have said those words to Su Jingchun.

Sun Tiancang is not a fool either, after a few rounds, he also saw some clues, "Su Jingchun, you are too deceitful! You actually underestimate me so much, don't I, Sun Tiancang, not deserve to be your opponent?!"

Su Jingchun also got serious when asked by Sun Tiancang.

"Brother Sun, please—"

The long sword pierced through the air and stabbed straight out, although it was still the same move as before, but the sound of the wind was strong, as if he had changed into a different person.

The previous sword moves were weak and were just for the purpose of resisting, but the current sword moves were thrust out for victory, as if a child had suddenly turned into an adult.

If Sun Tiancang hadn't blocked it in time, the sword might have directly pierced his chest.

The long sword in his hand counterattacked, Sun Tiancang yelled: "Well done!" Instead of retreating, he went forward and fought with Su Jingchun.

This battle was much more exciting than just now, and the people who were watching were clapping and applauding, but Gu Sixiao couldn't be like those people, just watching the fun.

"Nervous?" Hearing a familiar voice, Gu Sixiao turned around, only to realize that Shang Wu had come to her at some point.

Su Mei on the side stared fixedly at Shang Wu, but didn't move.

Thinking about it, if Shang Wu hadn't done anything excessive, he wouldn't have done anything at all.

"My son," said hello in a low voice, Gu Sixiao just smiled, and said lightly: "It's just a discussion, there's nothing to be nervous about."

"Your hands are all held together," Shang Wu smiled, with a bit of regret, "I didn't realize until today that the little lady and I are still so unfamiliar."

Blinking her eyes, Gu Sixiao really didn't know how to answer other than laughing.

Although Shang Wu had expressed his intentions abruptly before, to her, this prince of the Fan Kingdom was not a good match and he was not the one she fell in love with.

That being the case, it is better to stay away.

Seemingly knowing what Gu Sixiao was thinking, Shang Wu sighed, and suddenly said: "I'm going back to Ryukyu, probably at the beginning of next month."

Not much later than them, these people she knew gathered in the capital for various reasons, and now they all went their separate ways.

"May your son have a smooth journey." With a salute, Gu Sixiao said softly, "The family members who want to come to my son are all looking forward to it."

"Yes, my family is waiting for me..." Looking at Gu Sixiao, Shang Wu smiled wryly.

Just at this time, there was a burst of shouts from the sidelines, and there was a roar of applause, but it was already decided in the field.

Su Jingchun stood holding the sword, but Sun Tiancang fell at his feet. Although the long sword in his hand was pointed at Sun Tiancang's chest, Su Jingchun had no intention of stabbing it.

"Brother Sun, are you convinced or not?!"
