Chapter 357: Heart knot is hard to untie

Lu Lingqi's slightly flustered voice came from inside, "Wait a moment."

There was a rustling sound, and after a long time, Lu Lingqi came out of the tent holding a pair of halberds.

Lu Lingqi looked awkward. Her clothes were stained with blood and were in tatters from the chase. She also had several injuries, not light or serious. Although she was healed after Hua Tuo's treatment and bandaging, she could no longer wear her clothes.

After searching the army, they found that other soldiers only had one set of service uniforms, and none of them were suitable. Only Sun Li had brought an extra set for Yuan Xi, so he gave it to Lu Lingqi.

Now Lu Lingqi was wearing Yuan Xi's linen clothes inside and her own tattered outer robe outside, looking like a refugee.

Seeing Yuan Xi's strange look, she couldn't help but ask angrily, "What's the matter?"

Yuan Xi cleared his throat, "The spies who went to Huaicheng have returned and said that the rebellion has been quelled. Marquis Wen has learned of your whereabouts and has sent someone to pick you up."

"It will arrive in three to five days, and then the girl can go home."

After hearing this, Lu Lingqi felt relieved and said unnaturally, "Thank you, sir."

Yuan Xi said "oh", and both of them felt they had nothing to say, and the atmosphere was quite awkward.

Lu Lingqi suddenly said, "Let's have a fight?"

Yuan Xi thought to himself that you are sick, and said, "The girl's injuries have not healed yet, it is not appropriate to use force."

Lu Lingqi snorted, "You're pretending quite well!"

"Your martial arts are actually quite common, right?"

Yuan Xi was quite a bachelor, "Whatever you think."

He is not stupid. Lu Lingqi blocked Yang Feng's moves before. If it were Yuan Xi himself, he would definitely not be able to do it.

Lu Lingqi was so angry that her teeth itched. She muttered, "If you don't even dare to fight, what kind of man are you?"

Yuan Xi thought that if it was another kind of fight, he would be ready to join in at any time, and it would be okay for them to have a sparring match, but he was wary of someone like Lu Lingqi who didn't use any mercy.

Yuan Xi still remembered the last time Lu Lingqi broke the wall. If he was hit on the head, he would probably become a fool on the spot.

It would be fine if they competed when nothing happened, but now he was leading troops outside, so how could he have the mood to play house with Lu Lingqi?

When Lu Lingqi saw that Yuan Xi didn't respond, she became angry.

She had been feeling extremely uncomfortable these past few days, feeling that she was the one who had killed Ju Yi. However, her chance to avenge Qu Yi was snatched away by this vicious tiger, which made her feel frustrated.

She suddenly thought of something and sneered, "Should I call you Fierce Tiger or Hidden Tiger?"

"You changed your appearance to deceive your father. I'm afraid you have bad intentions, right?"

After hearing this, Yuan Xi said calmly: "Of course I have my own difficulties."

"But I can say with a clear conscience that I have no intention of harming Marquis Wen."

"The two sides joined forces to benefit each other. Otherwise, I would not have sent my most trusted general here, and ended up killing him."

Lu Lingqi lost all her anger immediately. She lowered her head and said softly, "It was me who killed Master."

Yuan Xi saw it and sighed, "It has nothing to do with you."

"Since he can accept you as his apprentice, he must appreciate you very much."

"In fact, he taught me archery, but taught you his proud halberd technique. It's obvious that he values ​​you more."

Lu Lingqi was speechless, and the two of them fell into silence again.

After a long while, Lu Lingqi raised her head, her eyes gleaming, "I still want to fight with you."

"There are still some things I don't understand, but I think if I fight, I will figure it out."

Yuan Xi had a headache: "I have practiced halberd techniques, and I can't beat you at all. I admit defeat."

Lu Lingqi stretched out her hand and clenched her fist, "Don't use the halberd, use your fist!"

Yuan Xi still shook his head, "If the girl still remembers what happened last time, I will apologize to her."

Lu Lingqi said angrily, "Aren't you afraid that I will complain to my father, saying that you concealed your identity and had ulterior motives?"

Yuan Xi said calmly: "I believe the girl is not that kind of person."

Seeing that Yuan Xi was like an iron turtle and she had no idea where to start, Lu Lingqi's eyes rolled.

She was not the type who practiced martial arts without thinking. On the contrary, her mind was very active, otherwise she would not have been able to master Qu Yi's halberd technique in such a short time.

There are no fools among those who have practiced martial arts to a certain level.

She wondered in her heart, what weaknesses did Yuan Xi have?

Hidden Tiger

The vicious tiger is lustful, the hidden tiger.?

She blurted out: "You tricked Mrs. Du away?"

Yuan Xi looked puzzled, "What Madam Du?"

After hearing this, Lu Lingqi asked in confusion, "I asked Master to send her away. Didn't he send her to you?"

Yuan Xi was stunned for a moment, then he remembered, wasn't this Madam Du the one who was tricked by Lu Lingqi to serve him last time?

It was precisely because he saw through Lu Lingqi's rather clumsy plan that Lu Lingqi became angry and attacked, and the two sides crossed the line and created a grudge.

Yuan Xi asked in confusion: "Qin Yilu's wife?"

"I don't know her whereabouts!"

Seeing this, Lu Lingqi sneered, "You really do know!"

"As expected, you had evil intentions at the time. I'm afraid it was your idea that Qin Yilu divorced Madam Du?"

"When I saw your wife was disfigured, I thought you weren't a lecher. But it turns out you're just a hypocritical sanctimonious person!"

After hearing this, Yuan Xi said in a deep voice: "You are wrong about this, girl."

Lu Lingqi sneered: "You still want to deny it?"

Yuan Xi said calmly: "When did I ever say I'm not lustful?"

"Isn't this all made up by the girl's imagination?"

"Since you know that I am Xiong Hu, you must have heard that I married the most beautiful woman in Jizhou."

"In addition, I have also collected many concubines, all of whom are of the best appearance."

Yuan Xi said confidently: "How can a person like me not be lustful?"

Lu Lingqi was stunned. How could someone be so shameless!

She gritted her teeth and said, "Is Mrs. Du the same?"

"You broke up the couple just to get Mrs. Du?"

Yuan Xi thought to himself, damn it, this matter is so unclear, he can't say that he just said it casually based on future experience, how could he know that he would be blamed?

He could only say: "I saw it through the art of stargazing."

"Besides, when I gave Qin Yilu advice, I had never met Madam Du, so how could I possibly covet her?"

After hearing this, Lu Lingqi was skeptical. She looked Yuan Xi up and down, and finally shook her head, "Forget it, no matter where she goes, it's better than marrying Yang Chou."

Yuan Xi was confused. Why was Yang Chou brought up again?

Lu Lingqi then snorted coldly, "Mrs. Du is the one my father has chosen. My father has no problem except that he is lustful."

"My father has been thinking about Madam Du for a long time, but you ruined his plan. If he knew that Madam Du was with you, would he hate you?"

Yuan Xi was stunned when he heard this. It was possible that Lu Bu, who was so concerned about his subordinates' wives, would also be concerned about him!

The key point is that he really doesn't know where Mrs. Du went. It happened that Mrs. Du was taken away by Chen Gui. He can't explain it even if he has a mouth!

He said helplessly: "I really don't know, don't accuse me of this for nothing."

"What do you want to do?"

A sly look flashed across Lu Lingqi's face. "How about we have a fight?"

Yuan Xi said helplessly: "Why are you so persistent?"

"Does it matter who wins and who loses?"

Lu Lingqi said seriously: "Of course."

"Logically speaking, I'm already old enough to get married. Once I'm married, I have to take care of my husband and children. That's what my mother told me."

"But I won't give up."

"I want to know if I can do what Master has done."

Yuan Xi said helplessly: "Why should I compare myself with Brother Qu? There are not many people in this world who can compare to him."

After hearing this, Lu Lingqi said, "Master died to protect me. If I don't do something, I'm afraid I'll never be able to hold my head up high."

"I want to inherit and pass on my master's martial arts, or his aspirations."

"Since you have also received martial arts instruction from Master, you are considered half a disciple. I want to prove that I am more qualified to inherit Master's skills!"

Yuan Xi thought to himself, damn, Lu Lingqi's train of thought is so weird, what does this have to do with me?

Don't you know that I'm in a bad mood too?

However, thinking about the fact that Qu Yi died to protect her, Lu Lingqi might have a shadow in her heart. If she wants to get over it, she needs to find a way to vent, right?

He sighed and said, "Okay."

"No weapons are used, both sides are unarmed."

After hearing this, Lu Lingqi raised her hand and bowed.

The two men walked out of the tent and stood face to face. When the soldiers nearby saw them, they all wanted to come and watch the fun. Sun Li made a gesture, and everyone turned around and left tactfully.

Yuan Xi thought that he could just deal with a few attacks with his bare hands and then find a chance to admit defeat, but he was not interested in competing for the title of Qu Yi's chief disciple.

He wanted to strike a pose and say in a pretentious way, "Wing Chun, Yuan Xi!"

But considering that Lu Lingqi would definitely not understand, he just pretended and made a casual boxing stance.

However, Lu Lingqi's next move made him break out in a cold sweat.

Lu Lingqi clapped her hands, raised her left leg, swung her left arm, put her left foot on the ground, then raised her right leg and swung her right arm, repeating this several times.

Then Lu Lingqi squatted down slightly, with her hands bent and her elbows stretched forward, like a female leopard ready to pounce on its prey, with a dangerous light flashing in her eyes.

Yuan Xi immediately wanted to turn around and run away. Isn't this the wrestling posture of later generations?

When it comes down to it, bare-handed fighting is all about using the hard parts of your body to strike the weak parts of your opponent's body to win.

The hardest part of the human body is the skull, followed by the elbows and knees, then the legs, and finally the fists.

There are nearly thirty bones in a hand, which is the most delicate and flexible tissue in the human body and can do almost everything, but it is not hard enough.

Even with years of training, it is no match for the destructive power of the knees and elbows. If you hit the opponent's head, knees or other hard parts, the result is often a broken hand.

Therefore, when attacking with bare hands, one could only hit the throat, chin and other vital parts, which was why Yuan Xi agreed to Lu Lingqi's request without fear.

In his opinion, as long as he protected the vital parts of his head and face, it would be difficult for Lu Lingqi to cause serious harm to him with just her two hands.

Because Yuan Xi had not let Lu Lingqi know before, he was wearing a layer of protective leather armor under his linen clothes!

Although Yuan Xi knew that he was being despicable, he believed that all is fair in war, and Lu Lingqi did not ask any questions, so he could not be considered as breaking his promise.

What you need to do next is to defend against Lu Lingqi's kicks and elbows, which will tire her out.

But what Yuan Xi never expected was that Lu Lingqi was in a wrestling stance!

This is a big problem, because falling can really kill people!
