Chapter 360: Beating Up
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Xu Qing had no doubt that if this person had grown up in the Protectorate, under the joint nurturing of the Qin and Su families, he would have become a powerful expert.
This was putting aside the fact that not all generals were fierce and brute force was not everything on the battlefield. Whether one was resourceful or not was the key to leading troops into battle.
As Qin Jiang watched the two of them fight, a trace of surprise flashed across his eyes.
It was not that he did not know that Qin Canglan and Su Shuo had been personally teaching Su Cheng for the past month. However, in his opinion, Su Cheng had been delayed in the countryside for 30 years and had long missed the best opportunity to practice martial arts. Now, no matter how hard he tried, it was useless.
He suddenly realized that he might have been wrong.
Su Cheng inherited Qin Canglan’s excellent aptitude. He had extraordinary talent.
Most of the gaps in this world were not created by hard work. What really determined the outcome… was talent.
Of course, it would be a lie to say that Su Cheng did not work hard. During his years as a cowherd, he did all kinds of work to fill his stomach. In order not to be bullied, he learned all kinds of tricks.
Therefore, even if he did not receive the true nurture of Qin Canglan and Old Marquis Su like Qin Jiang, Su Cheng’s foundation was not wasted.
Qin Jiang subconsciously touched the bandage wrapped tightly under his clothes.
Three days later… he had to win.
If Su Cheng was so troublesome, then…
He gave Xu Qing a look.
Today, it was Su Cheng who came knocking on his door. If he wanted to kill him, he could not let his guard down. Even if he made a fuss to Emperor Jing Xuan, Qin Canglan would have nothing to say!
Xu Qing understood Qin Jiang’s hint.
If he wanted Su to suffer an injury that could not be seen from the outside, it would be best if it was an imperceptible internal injury.
Xu Qing received Su Cheng’s sword. His eyes flashed as he changed his move.
He no longer purely defended, but began to take the initiative to attack.
Su Cheng suddenly realized that this kid’s martial arts had become higher. Was the other party so good at fighting?
Xu Qing’s martial arts had always been reserved. Su MO had investigated him. He was a saber artist, but in order to disguise his identity, he had always used a sword that he was not very good at.
No one had ever seen him use a saber, so they did not know how powerful this person was.
Xu Qing blocked Su Cheng’s path with his sword. He raised his left hand and slapped Su Cheng’s chest!
This palm strike would definitely injure Su Cheng’s internal organs!
“Aiya…’
Su Cheng suddenly fell to the ground without a care for his image.
Xu Qing was stunned, and the wind from his palm struck empty air.
What kind of move was this…
Before Xu Qing could finish his sentence, Su Cheng stabbed him in the back.
This was also an extremely ugly move. To put it bluntly, it was a sneak attack, and it was a little ugly.
However, it was precisely because of this that Xu Qing fell for it.
Damn!
What kind of f*cking fighting style was this?!
Xu Qing looked at the small knife on his right leg and started to doubt his life.
He was Great Zhou’s Protector Duke, Qin Canglan’s legitimate son. Why did he use such a despicable move?
He was really a dog!
Su Cheng raised his long legs. “I’ll kick you!”
He kicked the dumbfounded Xu Qing away!
The servants in the courtyard could not bear to watch.
Xu Qing’s martial arts skills were not inferior to Su Cheng’s. He had never seen such an unpredictable fight. For a moment, his mind and body could not react.
He fell heavily at Qin Jiang’s feet.
Qin Jiang frowned and stepped forward to ask, “Are you alright?”
Xu Qing’s body stiffened. He looked at Qin Jiang in pain and gritted his teeth. “Master, you stepped on the knife.”
Qin Jiang looked down and saw that his foot had just stepped on the handle of the knife that Su Cheng had stabbed into Xu Qing’s thigh.
This was equivalent to giving Xu Qing a second stab, and it was on his original
Qin Jiang quickly raised his foot.
Xu Qing coldly pulled out the knife and stood up. He ignored the blood that gushed out and looked at Su Cheng with a sinister gaze.
“You piss me off.”
He threw away the sword in his hand and pulled out the saber at his waist.
“I’m getting serious. ”
“Xu Qing, don’t hurt him too badly. Don’t overdo it.”
Qin Jiang was not thinking for Su Cheng. However, if he made it too obvious and Emperor Jing Xuan asked, it would be difficult to explain.
Xu Qing said coldly, “It’s not too much to break one of his arms, right?”
Qin Jiang thought that Xu Qing’s fracture was a fracture, but he did not expect Xu Qing to slash down with his saber.
Qin Jiang’s eyebrows twitched!
Was he going to cut off Su Cheng’s arm?!
He would be questioned!
“Xu Qing!”
It was too late for Qin Jiang to stop him.
Xu Qing’s movement technique was unbelievably fast, and his saber slashed down heavily at Su Cheng’s right arm.
Clang!
A long sword suddenly appeared under Xu Qing’s saber!
Su MO forced Xu Qing back with a single strike. He turned around and firmly protected Su Cheng behind him.
Qin Jiang heaved a sigh of relief.
“Xu Qing! What are you doing!”
He shouted.
Xu Qing wanted to attack again, but when he heard this, he glanced coldly at Su Mo. He held his knife and stepped on the blood on the ground to return to Qin Jiang’s side.
Su Cheng’s eyes lit up. “Young Master Su, you’re here?”
Young Master Su? Qin Jiang frowned.
Su Mo’s gaze swept across Qin Jiang and Xu Qing. He turned to Su Cheng and said, “Let’s go back first. I promise you that I will definitely take revenge for Ergou.”
Qin Yun had caused Su Ergou to become like this. Qin Canglan and the Senior Marquis had long wanted to drag Qin Jiang and his son out to beat them up.
Needless to say, that little girl’s eyes were filled with killing intent.
But now was not the time.
When the competition was over, they would seek justice for Ergou.
“Ergou woke up and is looking for Father.” Su MO added.
When he heard that his son was looking for him, Su Cheng decided to let that little bastard off first and teach him a lesson next time!
Qin Jiang frowned thoughtfully as he watched the two of them gradually disappear into the night.
“Just now, did Su Cheng call Su MO Young Master
Xu Qing was silent for a moment before answering, “Yes.”
Qin Jiang was puzzled. “Strange, why does Su Cheng call him that?”
No one would address their juniors as Young Master. This was clearly the address of an outsider.
Qin Jiang muttered to himself, “Could it be that… Su Cheng still doesn’t know his identity? Qin Canglan didn’t tell him?”
But that didn’t make sense.
Qin Canglan couldn’t wait to expose the truth to Emperor Jing Xuan. He couldn’t wait to let Su Cheng return immediately. Why didn’t he tell Su Cheng
Qin Canglan couldn’t wait to expose the truth to Emperor Jing Xuan. He couldn’t wait to let Su Cheng return immediately. Why didn’t he tell Su Cheng about his background?
Xu Qing said nothing.
He did not request to leave to treat his injuries.
Qin Jiang gathered his thoughts and turned to look at him. He asked, “What happened just now?”
Xu Qing cupped his fists and said, “I was so angry that I forgot my limits. Please punish me, Master.”
Qin Jiang said coldly, “Fortunately, Su MO appeared. Otherwise, if you cut off Su Cheng’s arm in front of me, the consequences wouldn’t be something we could bear!”
Xu Qing lowered his head and said, “I’m sorry.”
The Imperial Physician that he had invited had arrived. It was not Chief Physician Hu. Chief Physician Hu was treating the Empress Dowager and could not leave the palace. It was an Imperial Physician surnamed Li.
Qin Jiang turned around and left. Without looking back, he said, “Let Imperial Physician Li treat your injuries later.”
Xu Qing said, “Thank you, Master..”
