Chapter 13: The Breath of Might
Everyone obviously didn't expect Qu Gao to have such eloquence, what was particularly surprising was Wang Shou and Zhu Yan, Wang Shou didn't need to say much, if Qu Gao hadn't stopped him, Zhu Yan would have to talk about Chen Xuan's theory.
Chen Xuan was scolded speechless, stunned in place, he never thought that Qu Gao would dare to speak back without the protection of the king's head, he has lived for more than 20 years, and he has never seen such an arrogant corporal from the Hanmen, you know, no matter how bad the Xiangyang Chen family is, there are still hundreds of servants in the entire family, and the Qu family is only a family of four, where did he dare to commit a crime! The children of Huafu obviously didn't dare to believe it, Qu Gao had the courage to say such a thing, in their cognition, the Hanmen were the same as the slavery of the subordinates, if they were disrespectful to the scholars, they could be executed.
It must be because he wants to be the son-in-law of Taishou to dare to be so presumptuous! As soon as this idea appeared in everyone's minds, it was recognized, and when they thought about it like this, they despised Qu Gao even more in their hearts. Only Wang Shou and Zhu Yan looked at Qu Gao with recognition and pride in their eyes.
Qu Gao, Zhu Yan, and Zhong Lijun bypassed Chen Xuan, and before they could take ten steps, another person behind them stood up and said: "Brother Chen doesn't have to be sad, but he is just a splash in the market, and his parents are not educated, what can he teach!" ”
Qu Gao turned around and saw a sixteen or seventeen-year-old young man in Chinese clothes walking out of the crowd, standing beside Chen Xuan. The young man also looked at Qu Gao, as soon as the two looked at each other, the young man exclaimed "ah", everyone looked at it, and saw that Qu Gao's eyes were mixed with anger and killing intent, and suddenly they all shivered, Qu Gao walked step by step, looking coldly at the young man who was becoming more and more frightened and helpless, the coldness in his eyes seemed to freeze the surroundings, the wind stopped, the horses stopped barking, the huge world seemed to be still, only the heartbeat of two people remained.
Gradually, Qu Gao got closer and closer, and his heartbeat was getting closer and closer, and the young man wanted to hide, but his whole body seemed to be frozen by those cold eyes, and he couldn't move at all.
Qu Gao walked around to the young man's side, exhaled a cool breath and said, "Life is uncertain, sometimes it is a hundred years long, and sometimes it is just an inch away from the sword." As he spoke, his right hand was clasped to the hilt of the sword at his waist.
"Qu Lang, no!" Wang Shou stood between the young man and Qu Gao, and reprimanded the young man coldly: "In vain, you have read a few books, and your tongue is so vicious, why don't you apologize to Qu Lang quickly!" After speaking, he hurriedly turned around, and seeing that Qu Gao's anger had not subsided, he stretched out his hand, put on Qu Gao's right hand that was clenching the hilt of the sword, and whispered: "You have great ambitions for the coming day, and it is too early to break the cocoon at this time." "The voice is not loud, only the two of them can hear it.
Feeling the warm power from Wang Shou's hand, Qu Gao's anger gradually subsided, he looked at Wang Shou suspiciously, a little puzzled, Wang Shou's hand seems to have a force, this power can control people's hearts, when similar to the coercion of Chang Fuhai, but one is rigid, one is soft, if Chang Fuhai's power can make people fearful, Wang Shou's moisturizing and silent softness can turn people into fierce and vicious spirits.
The two of them withdrew their hands together, Qu Gao looked at the young man who was so shocked that he couldn't speak, he insulted his parents, and he must not let it go. Wang Shou also knew, but when he saw that Qu Gao's anger had disappeared for the most part, he stepped aside. When Wang Shou retreated, the young man was even more scared, he knew that this meant that Wang Shou had acquiesced to Qu Gao's discretion. Seeing this, the children of the scholars wanted to intercede with the king, but thinking that the king was jealous of Qu Gaoshang just now, they all swallowed back the words that came to their mouths.
"You...... How are you staying? My father is the patriarch of the Shen family, and I am the son-in-law of the Shen family, if you dare to touch a single hair of my hair, I will definitely bury your whole family! The young man said this fiercely, wanting to scare Qu Gao, but when he saw that he looked indifferent and didn't care, he became scared again.
Qu Gao inadvertently caught a glimpse of Zhongli Jun clenching his teeth, his hands clenched into fists, and shouted, "Jun'er, someone insulted your uncle, what should you do?" ”
Suddenly asked, Zhong Lijun was stunned for a moment, he was thinking of teaching these children of the Shi family who looked down on people with his fists and feet, but he also knew that he couldn't afford to provoke these people, and Qu Gao couldn't afford to provoke them. Therefore, Qu Gao's question, he couldn't answer it.
"Do whatever you think in your heart."
Zhong Lijun was still stunned, and Qu Gao said: "If you don't know, then I'll teach you." After speaking, there was a crisp and loud sound, Qu Gao slapped the young man to the ground, and said coldly: "Since your tongue is so vicious, let you have a long memory, if you don't have a mouth to cover it, you will pull out your tongue." ”
Qu Gao has been practicing martial arts for ten years, what a force this slap is! The boy fell to the ground, his ears and eyes dizzy, blood seeping out from the cracks at the corners of his mouth, tears raining down, but he didn't dare to cry. Among the children of the Shi family, there were those who were indignant, and they were all suppressed by the fierce eyes of the king.
After such a fuss, the three of them lost their interest in visiting the mountains, Qu Gao rode the horse in front, and Zhong Lijun drove the carriage back to Xiangyang. On the carriage, Zhong Lijun looked at Qu Gao's back and asked Zhu Yan in a low voice, "Uncle is annoyed that I don't dare to step forward?" ”
Zhu Yan sneered, knowing that Zhong Lijun was also stunned by Fang Cai's situation, and said with a smile: "How bold do you think he is, walking ahead without saying a word at this time, he must also be worried about the revenge of the Shen family and the Chen family." If he acts so arrogantly, he still has lingering palpitations, how can he be annoyed with you? ”
Zhong Lijun said suspiciously: "Uncle has a sword in his hand, a horse under his feet, and a bold mind, why be afraid?" I only heard Zhu Yan sigh lightly: "Parents and families, all of them are entangled, even if the righteous brother is not afraid of the strong, but the righteous father and mother are honest people who keep to themselves after all, and the clan of the Shi family has the right to kill and seize the people of the Han family......" Zhu Yan stopped his voice, and suddenly thought that if the Qu family also became a scholar family, although the family power was not as strong as the Shen family and the Chen family for a while, but they were equal in the law, the Shen and Chen families would not dare to make a mistake to the Qu family, and Qu Gao would also have less worries. And she wants to do business in Xiangyang, if there is no background support of the scholars, the tax burden alone will be surprisingly high, and after a while, Zhu Yanmu whispered: "I have to let the Qu family become a scholar." ”
Since the Wei and Jin dynasties, the hierarchy of the scholar clan has been strict and clear, and it is extremely difficult to make the commoner register to the scholar clan, but Zhu Yan and Qu Gao are both bold people, and Zhu Yan set this goal, even she herself does not know, she has been operating for this goal all her life, and in the end she has not seen it with her own eyes.
