Amushan was born with supernatural powers. In terms of lightness skills, he might not be a match for several people, but in terms of arm strength, he is quite capable.
As expected, Lu Yuan and the cloaked man froze at the same time. They were caught off guard and were pulled down by Amu Shan.
The two of them kicked Amushan at the same time.
"Hey! Stop fighting, you three!"
It was Duan Wenliang who shouted, "The hydrangea fell down!"
The hydrangea hit Duan Wenliang who was trying to launch a sneak attack on Amushan.
But how could Duan Wenliang dare to accept it?
He is here to stir up trouble, not to compete for the groom!
Amu Shan was kicked twice in the chest. He became angry and rushed towards Lu Yuan and the cloaked man again.
Duan Wenliang looked at the hydrangea that was about to fall into his arms, as if he was staring at a hot potato. He gritted his teeth and kicked the hydrangea away.
There was a gasp from the crowd.
Duan Wenliang looked carefully and found that the hydrangea was not flying towards Lu Yuan, but the man in the cloak.
He hurriedly said, "Hey, don't blame me! It's your fault that your positions keep changing!"
Deep down, he hoped that Lu Yuan and Meng Qianqian could safely get through the difficulties posed by Old Man Meng.
At the same time, he also noticed the man in the cloak.
It's surprising that his martial arts skills are on par with Lu Yuan's.
When the eldest brother said that he had a place to use his talents, was he referring to Amushan or that guy?
For a moment, he was a little uncertain.
Lu Yuan also noticed the other party's strength.
But compared to strength, he cares more about the other party's motives.
"Are you the one who followed her secretly time and again?"
Even though you have never met some people before, once they appear, you can know it is them.
The cloaked man did not answer.
Lu Yuan's sudden change in attitude put him in a pincer attack from both Lu Yuan and Amu Shan.
Amushan is very strong, but his weakness is that he is not flexible enough, and Lu Yuan just makes up for this shortcoming.
He was hit by Amushan's punch and half of his shoulder felt numb for a moment.
His hands did not stop, and he kept picking the hydrangeas that were flying towards him.
Amushan raised his fist and hit his forearm.
Either give up the hydrangea or break your forearm.
Amushan did not give him a third choice.
He didn't hesitate at all.
And at this moment, something unexpected happened.
Lu Yuan blocked Amu Shan's attack with a whip kick.
Duan Wenliang seized the opportunity and hit the hydrangea out again.
There were constant exclamations from the crowd.
It was really an eye-opener today to see how exciting it is to grab a hydrangea.
This time, not only the onlookers had a feast for the eyes, but even the young talents who were trying to grab the hydrangeas were stunned one after another.
Amushan looked at the hydrangea that he had missed again and wanted to kill Duan Wenliang.
"Little pretty boy, just wait for me! When the marriage proposal is over, I will be the first one to take your life!"
Duan Wenliang was not afraid of him: "If your martial arts were half as good as you boast, you would have grabbed the embroidered ball long ago."
Amushan was so angry that he fell backwards.
Lu Yuan and the cloaked man flew into the air at the same time and launched a final fight for the hydrangea.
And Amu Shan actually split the whip into two, holding one in each hand, and wrapped around the feet of Lu Yuan and the man in the cloak respectively.
The two of them grabbed the hydrangea at the same time, and looked at Amushan who was trying to repeat the same trick on them. They raised their feet at the same time and stepped hard on Amushan's chest.
There was a loud bang, and Amushan fell heavily on the open space in front of the attic.
Lu Yuan and the cloaked man, one foot on Amu Shan and one hand holding the hydrangea, looked at each other fiercely.
It was as if actual murderous intent was about to erupt.
At this moment, the bride-recruiting scene seemed to have turned into a battlefield between the two.
Although no one made any move, it felt like a life-and-death battle of a hundred moves.
The young talents were confused.
A hydrangea, caught by two men.
Who is the new son-in-law of the Meng family?
"let go."
Lu Yuan said coldly.
The cloaked man didn't say anything, nor did he let go.
The knuckles of his fingers that were gripping the hydrangea were faintly white due to the force he used.
Lu Yuan snorted coldly and slapped the other party through the air.
The cloaked man took the blow.
Amushan, who had finally recovered some strength, was knocked back down by the internal force of the two men.
Duan Wenliang frowned: "These two seem to be serious."
If they were just fighting over the embroidered ball to find a husband before, then at this moment, the two of them seemed to want to kill each other.
Just as the two were about to fight to the death, Meng Qianqian flew into the air, shot out the Thirteen Ghost Needles, and snatched the hydrangea from the hands of the two.
She lightly tapped the railing with her toes and held the hydrangea in her arms.
The young talents sighed in unison.
After a while, the hydrangea was snatched away by the third young lady herself.
The man in the cloak looked at the slender and graceful figure and subconsciously wanted to step forward, but he stopped rationally.
Unexpectedly, Lu Yuan suddenly stood up and jumped, not only picking up the hydrangea, but also catching Meng Qianqian with his other hand.
He wants both hydrangeas and people.
The cloaked man clenched his fingers.
The others were also dumbfounded.
The Third Miss picked the hydrangeas herself. They all thought that the matchmaking was over as the Third Miss didn't like any of them.
Who could have expected that this man would not give up until the last moment.
Although they were very disappointed, they had to admire Lu Yuan's courage and persistence.
What he wants is to be stabbed to death, no matter how high the sky or the hell, even if I try to stop him.
Lost, lost.
They were convinced of their defeat.
Snapped!
Snapped!
Snapped!
In the pavilion, the sound of Duan Mingyue clapping was heard, slowly echoing in the bright spring sun.
"My third brother is really impressive."
It's not a compliment, it's a heartfelt compliment.
"It seems that my understanding of this third brother is still too superficial."
On the big tree, Meng Lang raised his eyebrows slightly.
Lan Yeyue snorted unhappily.
Yan took a long breath, patted her chest and said with relief: "I was so nervous, I was afraid that someone else would snatch the embroidered ball away. Now it's good, the son-in-law is still the son-in-law, Qianqian doesn't have to marry again."
"Ben doesn't have to marry again."
Ji said.
However, she looked calm on the surface and the stone in her heart finally fell to the ground.
The old man wanted to test her son-in-law, but the sudden appearance of Magistrate Cao and the mysterious man who asked Meng Bo to receive her in person made her nervous.
My son-in-law is a good man.
She didn't want anything to go wrong and end up breaking up the couple.
The matchmaking was over and everyone left and dispersed.
Although I was not selected, it was worth the trip to see such a wonderful scene.
Lu Yuan carried Meng Qianqian to the attic.
Meng Qianqian looked back at the surging crowd.
The figure of the cloaked man had long disappeared, as if that person had never appeared.
……
The back alley of the Meng family.
The cloaked man suddenly held onto the wall, bent over and spat out a pool of blood.
Lan Yeyue quickly came up behind him, looked at the bloodstains, then looked at the lonely eyes under his mask, and said angrily: "I let you show off! What's your situation? Don't you know what's going on? I told you not to use your power, don't use your power! You——"
The cloaked man said in a hoarse voice: "Did you invite the Loulan people here?"
Lan Yeyue choked: "I...what did I do to them? The Loulan people have already come to Youzhou. Even if I don't tip them off, they can still find out that the third daughter of the Meng family is throwing a ball to find a husband. Do you think the Loulan people don't know the relationship between the Meng family and Chen Long? I just took advantage of the situation and led the Loulan people to her!"
The cloaked man said coldly: "If you dare to do this again next time, I will kill you."
Lan Yeyue felt aggrieved and said with red eyes: "Kill me? If you kill me, you will be dead! You only have eyes for her! But she is no longer the same person she used to be! There is no possibility for you two anymore!"
The cloaked man was so angry that he vomited a large pool of blood.
Lan Yeyue held him in panic, choking and begging, "I won't say anything... Don't be angry... Isn't it okay if I was wrong? If I knew you would come forward to stop Amu Shan... I would never lead Amu Shan to the Meng family..."
The high and mighty daughter of Yaowang Valley, had her self-esteem completely shattered for this man.
However, the cloaked man simply pushed her hand away, walked into the night with his tattered body without looking back.
-
On the other side, Prefect Cao ordered his men to carry the injured Amushan onto the sedan chair.
Out of courtesy, Meng Tianhe and Meng Tianlan greeted him with a bow.
"Master Cao, take care."
Meng Tianhe said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
Meng Tianlan waved his sleeves and said, "Have a nice walk!"
Prefect Cao snorted coldly and left in a huff.
After returning to the Cao family, the Loulan doctor who was well versed in medicine treated Amushan's injuries.
Amushan thought of all the humiliations he had suffered in the Meng family and smashed the desk with one punch.
He had a bad temper, and Prefect Cao already knew that.
But, who was it because he gave me such a beautiful concubine? I love her so much.
He called me uncle all the time and treated me with courtesy.
Prefect Cao said earnestly, "Calm down. There is nothing special about the Meng family. There are many beautiful women in Youzhou. If you like them, your uncle will give you a few."
"Moreover, Miss Meng was married to the capital when she was twelve years old. She was a divorced woman and returned home. She is no longer a virgin."
Amushan recalled that soft figure and the stunning beauty that was faintly visible under the veil, and he could not get it out of his mind no matter what.
"I, Amu Shan, have never failed to obtain anything I set my eyes on!"
"This……"
"I'm going to kill those Central Plains people!"
Magistrate Cao understood that he was referring to the other two men who had snatched the hydrangea from him today.
"My dear nephew, don't be impulsive. I have sent people to inquire. The man who stole the embroidered ball today is a high-ranking official in the capital, a first-rank commander in the court. He and Meng had an affair without a matchmaker. Mr. Meng refused to acknowledge this marriage, so he arranged a marriage proposal with the embroidered ball."
Having said that, he couldn't help but wonder if Mr. Meng was crazy.
How dare a businessman not take the imperial official seriously?
For a man to fall in love with a little merchant girl is a blessing that the merchant has earned in eight lifetimes.
He even pushed people out.
If he were that high-ranking official, he would have ignored Mr. Meng's unreasonable behavior and would have wiped out the Meng family long ago.
"This senior official is probably sincere to the Meng family. My dear nephew, listen to your uncle's advice and don't argue with him."
How can a man who has done this be simply described by the word "sincerity"?
It's no exaggeration to say that we are deeply in love.
Amu Shan waved his pen and said, "I don't care! I'll take that woman!"
At this time, Amushan wanted to give a gift to Governor Cao's beautiful concubine, so he walked into the house carrying a pot of fine wine.
She is graceful, elegant, and charming, and just one glance at her can make a man feel numb to the bone.
She put down the wine pot, sat on Prefect Cao's lap, put her fair arms around Prefect Cao's neck, and said delicately:
"I remember there's a saying in your Central Plains that a strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake! You are the local emperor of Youzhou, you are the biggest in the whole Youzhou! Are you still afraid of him?"
Prefect Cao was so overwhelmed by the compliments given by his beautiful concubine that he lost himself in the process.
He said with a smile: "Of course I'm not afraid, I'm just being cautious and taking a long-term view."
Amu Shan sneered disdainfully: "You people from the Central Plains are just fussy! I will break into the Meng family tonight and kill that imperial official! And take his woman away from me!"
"Good nephew! Don't be impulsive!"
Prefect Cao stood up to stop him, but was pushed back into his chair by the beautiful concubine's charming hands.
……
Amushan rode a horse and rushed to the Meng family angrily.
Halfway through, a tall figure carrying a heavy sword blocked his way.
It seemed as if it had been waiting on the quiet street for a long time, so long that it almost merged into the night.
"Go away!"
Amushan didn't slow down at all, nor did he try to avoid the man, he just rushed straight towards him.
But just as he approached, the man slapped the horse on the head.
The galloping horse let out a shrill roar, raised its hind legs high, and fell to the ground with both the rider and the horse.
Amu Shan rolled on the dirty ground, knelt on one knee to steady himself, stood up and looked at the man coldly: "Who are you? How dare you block my way!"
Chen Long slowly turned sideways, allowing his face to be reflected in the cold moonlight.
Amu Shan was shocked: "It's you?"
Then, he put his hands on his hips and laughed mockingly, "Finally you stopped being a coward! I went to the Meng family to look for you today, but you refused to show up. Are you scared?"
Chen Long said expressionlessly: "Amu Shan, you shouldn't have come to Youzhou, and you shouldn't have provoked people you shouldn't have provoked."
Amu Shan laughed loudly: "Are you talking about you? Or your new sister? I remember you had a sister named... Shang Jiu? She died tragically! She was hiding in a water tank. I found her. She was wearing thin clothes... She looks so much like Meng. It's strange that I will think of her when I see Meng. I let her escape back then. Meng is not so lucky."
Chen Long took the sword case from his back, turned it in his palm, and opened it with a snap.
Amu Shan said sarcastically: "Is this the sword your Zhongyuan foster father gave you? I almost forgot what your Zhongyuan name was. Shang-Xu?"
He said arrogantly, "Wait until I rob the Meng family, then I will come and kill you to clean up the mess for my father!"
"You weren't like this when you were a kid."
Chen Long said lightly.
Amu Shan opened his arms and said, "When I was little, I was just your follower! Now, you are a prisoner, and I am the Prince of Loulan!"
A sword light flashed.
Amushan stood there in a daze.
A circle of blood appeared on the neck, and then blood spurted out.
He quickly covered his throat, trying to press down the wound that was cut by the sword.
Chen Long stood behind him with his back to him.
He fell straight down, unable to believe that his own brother had killed him like this...
Chen Long said coldly: "If you go to kill Lu Yuan, I won't stop you, but you shouldn't touch her."
He walked a few steps in the night, as if talking to himself, or as if he noticed the shadows hidden in the night:
"Tell the King of Loulan that I am back for revenge."
