In the eighth year of Chongzhen, at a banquet in France.
A handsome young Frenchman was angrily throwing out a white glove at Lu Xiao.
Lu Xiao was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that throwing white gloves in this era meant to duel with him.
"Even though I already understand the meaning of your action. But can you tell me why you're looking for me to duel. I don't know you, tonight is the first time we've met. Am I offended in any way? ”
According to Lu Xiao's impression, duels are to the death. He thought he had inadvertently violated some kind of taboo or something.
But the young French aristocrat said angrily. "The two young ladies beside you are as beautiful as angels in the sky. You possess both of them alone. This is something I absolutely can't tolerate, so, duel. For the belonging of these two beautiful ladies! ”
Lu Xiao's face turned black on the spot. Ding Baiying, who was next to him, had his right hand pressed on the hilt of the knife. Although she carried a ceremonial knife for the banquet. But Lu Xiao had no doubt that she could cut the throat of the young man in front of her within three seconds.
However, he still reached out and held down Ding Baiying's movements. This kind of thing naturally requires men to come forward.
"Do you know how this behavior of yours is perceived in my kingdom? You are ready to snatch my wife by force! So, I'll give you three breaths of time before you can say your last words. ”
"It's time!"

October 14, 2022, China.
In a European history lesson, a student raises his hand to ask the teacher.
"Teacher, I once read in a book on European history about a family named Rosschuat. It is known as the oldest family in France.
It is said that as early as the Ming Dynasty in China, their family has lasted for nearly 700 years. It stands to reason that they should be a family with a thousand-year-old history now. But why didn't I find information about this family in the textbooks? ”
The teacher listened to this question with a strange expression on his face.
"It's an interesting question, and to know the answer to that question, we have to know a person. A legend in Chinese history, King of the Bohai Sea, Lu Xiao. ”
"Is that the one who is called the human slaughter, the god of war, and the savior of the Ming Dynasty, Lu Xiao, the king of the Bohai Sea? I've watched twenty films and TV shows about him, and I've read six different biographies. I'm sure there's no mention of the incident. ”
"I'm amazed at how much you read, and that's good. However, this matter has not been made public. It is recorded in a very niche ...... Biography above. And it is only circulated among a very small number of people. It's normal that you haven't seen it.
The cause of this incident was a banquet. The King of Bohai attended on behalf of the Ming Dynasty, which was then known as the French banquet, a noble banquet of a European country.
And at the banquet, an heir of the Rosschuat family did something disrespectful to his wife. To do this, he accepted the opponent's dueling challenge. ”
"Just a duel?"
"Certainly not a duel. In fact, later, the Rose Shuyat family launched duels against Lu Xiao many times. Later, Lu Xiao took the initiative to launch a duel against the other party. So......"
“...... Teacher, how do you know these things? ”
"Hehe, because I happen to be one of those very few people."
