Why are we always BE

Chapter 8 The confrontation between Su Qing and Huo Zehao

Watching Su Qing disappear in a flash, Huo Shu shook her head helplessly.

After a while, two female immortal attendants stood at the door of Huo Shu's palace and said respectfully: "Princess Huo Shu, on the order of Immortal Zehao, we are here to help you pack your luggage and take you to Zehao Palace."

"Come in," Huo Shu said.

"Yes."

Two immortal attendants in white came in, saluted Huo Shu, and then began to quietly help Huo Shu pack her luggage.

Outside Zehao Palace

Su Qing came outside Zehao Palace and walked around with a bored expression on her face, but she was exploring the area around Zehao Palace.

The luxury of Zehao Palace should be second only to the palaces of the King, Queen and Queen Mother. It is indeed the most important son of King Ci'an. Su Qing secretly said.

"Excuse me, who are you?" A voice rang.

Why did this person appear behind him silently? ! Su Qing was startled at first, and her body's instinct had already taken action.

Su Qing turned around and slapped him.

The man also reacted very quickly and struck out quickly, meeting Su Qing's palm.

Su Qing felt a force coming into her from the opponent's palm. Realizing that something was wrong, she quickly used the power of her palm to move back and squatted on the ground with her arms folded.

"You are very smart, but if you are one step too late, your arm will be useless." The man said coldly: "Tell me, who are you and why are you here."

Su Qing looked at her arm, realized that this person was not a mortal, and raised her eyes to look at that person.

Exactly the same appearance as Huo Shu!

Su Qing almost immediately realized who this person was, stood up calmly, and said, "My general, Su Qing, has met the eldest prince."

"How do you know who I am? Why did you attack me?" Huo Zehao asked.

"The only person who cultivates immortality in the palace is the eldest prince. The attack just now was not done by ordinary people. It is not difficult to guess who you are." Su Qing saluted and explained: "As for why I attacked you. I am a martial artist. People stay in the army all year round. If a person can appear behind me silently, out of instinct, I will quickly counterattack to prevent future troubles."

"This is the palace, not the army." Huo Zehao crossed his arms and said, "If it's instinct, it's understandable. Then I would like to ask why General Su appears here."

"The news of the eldest prince's return to the palace is known to the whole city. I am bored in the palace, so naturally I want to join in the excitement." Su Qing lied.

Huo Zehao squinted his eyes and looked at Su Qing.

The person who practices martial arts has recently entered the palace. Could it be that Huo Shu's blood, bones and martial arts were caused by him? Huo Zehao thought to himself.

"General Su should know that this is the selection period. It is easy for people to misunderstand me by showing up in my dormitory like this." Huo Zehao's tone was full of caution.

"You are just participating and it will not affect the final result, right?" Su Qing asked.

Huo Zehao was a little surprised at Su Qing's keen ability and said lightly: "General Su is really observant."

"His Royal Highness the Great Prince has given you too much praise."

I eavesdropped, hehe. Su Qing secretly said.

"Since you are here, I have no rules against hospitality, so I will invite you into the palace for a cup of tea." Huo Zehao said.

Haven't you had enough at Huo Shu's place? Su Qing narrowed her eyes and thought to herself.

"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey." Su Qing bowed and said.

Two men in white walked into the palace side by side.

Hall

Huo Zehao ordered the immortal attendant to pour tea for Su Qing.

"I'm new here and I don't have any good tea. I hope you don't mind." Huo Zehao said.

"It doesn't matter. I'm not particular about tea either." Su Qing said.

Anyway, I only like to drink tea made by Huo Shu. Su Qing thought to herself.

"Today we will not talk about the struggle for the throne." Huo Zehao said with a wave of his hand to signal the immortal attendant to step back.

"What do you want to talk about?" Su Qing asked.

"I want to talk about General Su's plan to break the current situation," Huo Zehao said.

"What game?" Su Qing pretended to be stupid.

Huo Zehao saw through it but refused to reveal it, and continued: "Since I came out of seclusion, I have only heard Jiang Taigong praise one person. General Su, are you curious who it is?"

"Who is it?" Su Qing asked pretending not to care.

"Of course it's General Su. In the battle two years ago, General Su defeated the greater number with less and the superiority with inferiority, which made Taigong admire him. It was precisely because of this battle that Taigong decided to give up attacking Beiming and give Beiming a way to survive. Huo Zehao said.

Su Qingfeng narrowed her eyes slightly and her expression changed slightly.

The battle two years ago was the battle that made Su Qing famous throughout the Zhou Dynasty and Beiming. It was also the battle that Su Qing least wanted to recall.

That is an honor, but also a shame.

It is a disgrace to my loyal and patriotic heart.

Su Qing did not express her thoughts, but followed Huo Zehao's words and said, "Really? I didn't expect that I have such a strong presence in Jiang Taigong's heart."

"The political field is like a battlefield. Today, General Su holds 40,000 troops. His father is afraid of him, and his powerful ministers are instigating him. Although General Su has done everything flawlessly so far, the situation has not changed. I am really curious. What does General Su plan to do? How to break the situation."

"How else can I break it? Just go to the battlefield and fight to the death." Su Qing said calmly.

"What about your reputation of being undefeated for ten years?"

"Who cares about just reputation. If I cared so much about my own reputation, I would have died countless times on the battlefield."

"I don't care, that's why I can risk everything on the battlefield. General Su's insights are really great."

"The eldest prince, don't praise me anymore. Su Qing can't stand the praise of others." Su Qing said with a smile, "Being brave is something every soldier must do, and Su Qing is not the only one who can do it. of."

Huo Zehao smiled, but he was thinking about Huo Shu.

Was it because Huo Shu could endure those three days of cultivating blood and bones because he was willing to spare the effort?

"His Royal Highness?" Seeing Huo Zehao in a daze, Su Qing shouted.

"I'm fine. It's just that I met my roommate today and her affairs distracted me." Huo Zehao responded and explained.

"It's okay. It seems that your sister has reached the age for your brother to care about her."

"I checked her pulse today and found that she has been practicing martial arts for more than a month in the past month, but she only started recently. Since she is a beginner in martial arts, she must have been taught by someone recently, otherwise she would not have progressed so quickly," Huo Zehao said. , but his tone was full of doubt.

It had been just over a month since Su Qing entered the palace. The timing was so coincidental.

"When I first entered the palace, I met the fifth princess and Princess Qingya. At that time, the fifth princess pulled me into the water, but she was not good at water. In the end, I saved her."

"What?" Huo Zehao's eyes clearly wanted to kill someone.

What on earth is Princess Qingya doing? Huo Zehao thought to himself.

"From Princess Qingya's explanation, she accidentally pushed me into the water while playing with my sister. But it doesn't look like an ordinary fight. After all, Princess Qingya's neck seemed to have been scratched directly by the fifth princess."

"Is this serious?" Huo Zehao breathed a sigh of relief.

"Seriously. Later, I gave your younger sister a hint and asked her to learn some martial arts for self-defense so that she can protect herself in the palace."

"So it's you who teaches her martial arts?" Huo Zehao asked, his eyes filled with distrust of Su Qing.

If so, and you still approached her with a purpose, then it would be a pity that I didn't cripple one of your hands. Su Qing secretly said.

Su Qing snorted indifferently and said: "Your Highness is joking. I am not a helpful person. Besides, I have been monitored by the secret guards with strong martial arts skills in the palace. How can I find the time and energy to teach someone like myself?" People who have nothing to do with martial arts."

Su Qing thought to herself, it seems like I am really someone who is willing to help others and has the time and energy to teach her!
