Chapter 6 Who wouldn't want to be Huang Chao?
"Get out of here, all of you!"
Just then, a commotion broke out.
Lu Xiao turned his head and saw a young man in silver armor riding a horse.
Beside him were two servants, who together carried a large spear.
The guards on both sides, armed with knives and spears, kept shoving and pushing others to clear a path.
"My dear grandson, ride slower, Grandpa can't keep up!"
The elderly man in brocade robes behind him was helped off his horse.
Seeing this, Lü Xiao silently curled his lip.
That's a bit strange. He even has someone to carry his weapon. Will he have to find someone to carry his halberd in the future?
Zheng Kun strode forward, about to shove Lü Xiao aside.
But when he exerted force, he found that the body did not move at all.
"You dare push me?"
Lu Xiao didn't hold back and immediately retaliated.
With a single move, he sent Zheng Kun tumbling backward.
"Sorry, I didn't know you were so weak..."
Lu Xiao assumed that since two people were carrying the gun, the person must be quite skilled, so he used more force.
But things took an unexpected turn.
"You lowly commoner, you're asking for death!"
Zheng Kun scrambled to his feet, grabbed his rifle, and prepared to launch an attack.
Even if a hundred or a thousand of these lowly people died, the imperial court would not hold them accountable.
Today, he will kill Lü Xiao!
"I've been too kind to you!"
Lu Xiao wasn't the type of parent to spoil their child, regardless of whether they came from a prestigious or wealthy family.
If you anger him, he'll find a place to hide, and after a few years when the world is in chaos, he'll change his name to Lü Chao!
When the time comes, take this family tree and go around calling out names one by one. If you don't wipe the Zheng family clean, then write the Lü family name backwards!
Just as the two were about to draw their swords, Xue Liang quickly stepped forward and stood between them, saying:
"If anyone who comes to compete does not follow the rules, the young marquis may leave."
After saying that, he extended his hand and gestured for him to enter.
"Second brother is right, we have to follow the rules no matter who comes."
Just then, another person came out of the camp and said.
"Big brother!"
When Jiu Taibao saw Luo Fang, he immediately stood up.
"Young Master, please register him/her."
Luo Fang pointed to the table and said in a calm tone.
He harbored deep resentment towards Zheng Kun, a man of despicable character who had a large number of wives and concubines.
He married three women not long ago, and now he's holding a martial arts contest to find a husband.
Yang Yu'er really married him; her life was over.
Zheng Kun stared at Luo Fang. As the eldest son of the Zheng family of Xingyang, he was granted a marquisate at a young age.
Coming here to hold a martial arts contest to find a husband is to give Yang Lin face!
According to his instructions, Yang Yu'er could simply be sent to the Zheng family's bed.
From now on, the Zheng family and the Yang family will join forces, and Yang Lin has no biological son.
After Yang Lin's death, he will become the new Prince Regent of the Sui Dynasty.
"Hmph, register them!"
After a moment, Zheng Kun understood.
Luo Fang will be his brother-in-law in the future. Whether he can inherit Yang Lin's throne depends on Luo Fang's help. He can't afford to offend him for the time being.
When he turned his head, he was surprised to see Lü Xiao standing to the side.
No, to be precise, I saw Lü Xiao's Red Hare.
For a warrior, his warhorse is his closest comrade-in-arms.
Who wouldn't like a good horse?
This trip was definitely worthwhile! Not only will I win the heart of a beautiful woman, but I will also inherit Yang Lin's throne and acquire a divine steed.
The elderly Zheng family member who followed immediately understood his grandson's meaning and stepped forward, saying:
"Young friend, this horse is magnificent. My beloved grandson took a liking to it at first sight. Name your price."
As members of the Zheng family, they can set prices not only for horses, but also for people.
If you encounter someone who doesn't know how to be polite, why not just resort to violence?
"roll!"
Lu Xiao turned his head away, too lazy to pay attention to the old man.
Anything produced by our system is guaranteed to be of high quality.
You're asking for a price? Even if you sold your whole family, you still couldn't afford it!
"Young friend, you're here to compete in martial arts too, aren't you? If you sell yourself to me, I can get someone to arrange a good position for you in the army."
The elderly Mr. Zheng kept trying to persuade his grandson, because of what his grandson valued.
Seeing that the old man Zheng was still bothering Lü Xiao, Xue Liang stepped forward to help him out:
"If you say another word, I'll kill you! I only beat up old people and children!"
Lu Xiao pointed at the old man, his eyes flashing with murderous intent.
"Interesting. This is the first time in so long that someone has dared to refuse my family."
The old man Zheng smiled, not taking Lü Xiao seriously.
This kid has no idea about the immense power of aristocratic families.
"Zilie, go inside."
To prevent Lü Xiao from getting entangled with this rubbish, Xue Liang quickly said to him.
"it is good."
Lü Xiao nodded and led his horse into the camp.
Seeing the fine horse slip away right in front of him, Zheng Kun was furious.
"Grandfather, I want that horse! I want that horse!"
"My dear grandson, my dear grandson, Grandfather knows, don't worry, don't worry."
Seeing Zheng Kun's anxiety, the old man quickly comforted him and ordered his confidant to investigate Lü Xiao's background.
Luo Fang and Xue Liang exchanged a glance, both feeling utterly helpless.
The Zheng family was, after all, one of the five prominent families and seven influential clans, with a large and powerful household.
Even though they were powerful figures under the command of the Prince of Kao Shan, they were not people to be offended.
Lu Xiao is now entangled; all we can do is hope that Lu Xiao is strong enough.
Only in this way can the adoptive father protect Lü Xiao.
Soon after, the martial arts competition officially began.
There were soldiers from the Dengzhou camp, as well as people from outside the camp who participated.
After all, this competition only considers the skill level of martial arts, not social status.
"Good job, that was well done!"
Cheers and applause filled the air.
Lu Xiao was exceptionally skilled; no one could rival him in either hand-to-hand combat or weaponry.
"This lad is really good; he has the air of Qin Qiong."
"Grandma Paul Fang said to the person next to her."
"Don't mention that traitor."
Xue Liang snorted coldly. His godfather had sacrificed so much for Qin Qiong, yet Qin Qiong was so heartless.
Li Wan, the Third Protector, remained silent. It was all because his adopted sons were so useless.
If they had even half of Qin Qiong's skills, his godfather would be laughing in his sleep.
During the conversation, Yang Lin had already arrived at the spectator stands.
"Father, Zilie is unmatched, and Yu'er has found her home."
Xue Liang quickly stepped forward and said.
As the second eldest brothers, they had watched Yang Yu'er grow up.
My sister is worried because she can't get married.
"Um."
Yang Lin stroked his white beard, a hint of anticipation in his eyes.
Lü Xiao is indeed a promising talent, especially given his youth.
If he could be properly trained, he would definitely be a great help to him.
It was indeed a wonderful thing that Yang Yu'er was able to marry Lü Xiao.
"Has Sister Yu'er taken a liking to this boy too?"
Luo Fang smiled, clearly indicating that he was also extremely satisfied with Lü Xiao's performance.
"Yu'er, what do you think?"
Turning his head, Yang Lin asked Yang Yu'er, who was dressed as a man, beside him.
"Godfather, things haven't been decided yet..."
Yang Yu'er's gaze swept around; Lü Xiao was indeed impressive, a young man full of vigor and ambition.
But the people on the adjacent arena were also constantly knocking the challengers down.
In the end, Lü Xiao still had to compete with that person.
When the old man Zheng saw that Yang Lin was staring at Lü Xiao, he knew something was wrong.
Yang Lin's reputation for valuing talent is known throughout the land. Although Lü Xiao is certainly not as good as his beloved grandson, he still has to be wary of him.
