"What, Gao Qiu?"

Shi Song, Sima Hong, and Lu Zhengxin were all stunned. They never thought that Hua Ju would want to recommend Gao Qiu.

"Wenshan, are you kidding?" Shi Song asked.

Hua Ju said: "No, what I said is true."

Lu Zhengxin said: "Wenshan, are you confused? Gao Qiu wears the same trousers as Cai Jing, how can he be made the Privy Councilor?"

"It is precisely because he is Cai Jing's person that Cai Jing will not object if he is recommended to be the Privy Councilor," Hua Ju said.

boom!

As soon as Hua Ju finished speaking, Shi Song slapped the table and stood up, glaring at Hua Ju angrily and scolding: "I thought you were a loyal and honest minister, but I didn't expect you to be a traitor.

You actually want to recommend Gao Qiu in order to please Cai Jing. I was really blind and misjudged you. I don’t want to be associated with traitors, so please go ahead.”

Hua Ju didn't expect that Shi Song would turn against him without even asking him why he recommended Gao Qiu, and he felt angry. After all, he was also a shameless person.

The reason Shi Meng wasn't angry at him for misunderstanding him just now was because Shi Meng didn't understand the situation, so he didn't have to argue with him.

But Shi Song saw with his own eyes how he targeted Cai Jing, Gao Qiu, and Tong Guan, and also saw how he defeated the Liao envoys in the Zichen Palace to safeguard the dignity of the Song Dynasty and Huizong. He should know that he was not an evil person.

Now just because he heard Gao Qiu's name, he decided that he was a traitor and drove him away. This was not only rude but also an insult to himself. How could he endure it any longer?

Throwing his chopsticks on the table, Hua Ju stood up with a cold face, took out an ingot of five taels of silver and threw it on the table, saying, "I never eat other people's food for free. Say goodbye."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

"Wenshan, don't go, Wenshan—" Sima Hong quickly chased after him.

Lu Zhengjin saw that the originally good atmosphere had changed in an instant, and complained to Shi Song: "Brother Shi, can't you change your temper?"

"Humph, I can't tolerate sand in my eyes." Shi Song said angrily.

Lu Zhengxin said: "Shasha, who is Shasha? Wenshan, don't you think about it, if he really wanted to curry favor with Cai Jing, would he still oppose him everywhere, move Tongguan down, and object to increasing the age of the Liao Kingdom?"

Tribute?"

Shi Song said: "Then why does he want to recommend Gao Qiu to be the privy envoy?"

Lu Zhengxin pounded the table with his hand and said: "I want to know too, but I asked you to drive him away just as I was about to ask. I think that since he wants to recommend Gao Qiu, there must be his reasons, but it is definitely not the case.

I want to please Cai Jing.”

After Lu Zhengxin said this, Shi Song calmed down and realized that he had been too impulsive just now. He said with some regret: "Then what should we do now?"

"Hurry up and apologize to Wenshan, invite him back, and ask him carefully," Lu Zhengxin said.

Shi Song and Lu Zhengxin hurriedly chased him out. Fortunately, before Hua Ju was dragged by Sima Hong, they caught up with him in the garden. Lu Zhengxin spoke first: "Wenshan, Brother Shi was too impulsive just now. Now

He has realized something wrong, so he came here to apologize to you."

"No need."

Hua Ju sneered and said: "As Mr. Shi said, people with different principles cannot work together. After Mr. Shi's meritorious service, a generation of famous ministers, Mr. Hua, was just the son of a merchant family. He was promoted by relying on Yang Jian. It was completely despicable.

How can a villain deserve to associate with an upright and famous minister like Mr. Shi? Today, I will pretend that Mr. Hua has never been here. From now on, you will be your upright and famous minister, and I will be my treacherous villain. Let us return to the bridge.

On the way back, the water from the well does not interfere with the water from the river. Say goodbye."

"Wenshan, don't be angry. Brother Shi was just impulsive. He has already come to apologize to you, so don't be angry again."

"Yes, he regretted it as soon as you left. If he doesn't come after you right away to apologize, then you will forgive him."

Sima Hong and Lu Zhengxin blocked Hua Ju from left and right, and said to Shi Song: "Brother Shi, you should speak quickly."

Shi Song opened his mouth and was about to say something, when suddenly laughter came from the other side of the garden gate, and a group of people appeared. It was Shi Meng and others.

Shi Meng and others had just finished practicing martial arts and were preparing to go to a restaurant outside for dinner. They didn't want to meet Shi Song and others here.

Hua Ju ignored them and walked around Lu Zhengxin and Sima Hong to leave. Lu Zhengxin quickly stopped him again and said to Shi Song: "Brother Shi, please tell me quickly."

"Wenshan - I was a little impulsive just now. Don't take it off. I apologize to you." Shi Song said in a low voice.

Hua Ju acted as if he hadn't heard anything and still swerved left and right in an attempt to break through the obstruction of Sima Hong and Lu Zhengxin and leave.

"Wenshan, Brother Shi has already apologized to you, just forgive him and don't be angry again."

"That's right, let's go back and sit down and continue chatting."

Sima Hong and Lu Zhengxin took Hua Ju's hand and pulled it back, but Hua Ju didn't want to stay here anymore and pulled his hand back hard.

He was very strong. Sima Hong and Lu Zhengxin were already old and could not pull him. Not only did he pull their hands back, but they also suddenly lost their balance and fell to the ground while exerting their strength.

"grandfather!"

When Sima Baoping and Lu Gang saw their grandfathers falling to the ground, they ran over to help them up. Then they glared at Hua Ju and said, "If you dare to hit my grandfather, I will kill you."

"Bao Ping!"

"Gang'er!"

Sima Hong and Lu Zhengxin quickly shouted: "It's not what you think, stop it -"

But Sima Baoping and Lu Gang didn't listen at all. They rushed over and punched Huaju.

Hua Ju was already angry. When he saw Sima Baoping's Lu Gang taking action without knowing the truth, his anger was completely ignited. He dodged the fists of the two men and quickly moved forward. He used a free fighting style and opened his fists left and right.

, "Bang, bang" punched them in the face twice.

The force of these two punches was no less than that of a heavyweight professional boxer. Sima Baoping and Lu Gang seemed to have been hit by a hammer. Their heads were dizzy and their eyes were blurry. They staggered for two steps as if they were drunk.

Then fell to the ground.

"Sanlang, Wulang." Shi Meng and others shouted and ran over.

Sima Baoping ranked third among Sima Hong's grandchildren, and Lu Gang ranked fifth among Lu Zhengxin's grandchildren, so they were called Sanlang and Wulang.

"Sanlang, Wulang, how are you doing?" Shi Meng asked as he helped the two of them sit up.

"He's dizzy," Lu Gang said dizzy.

Shi Meng and others had problems with Hua Ju, but now they saw their good brother being beaten by Hua Ju. They all became angry and rushed towards Hua Ju together.

"Stop, stop it all—"

Shi Song, Sima Hong, and Lu Zhengxin never expected that things would turn out like this. They stood nearby and shouted anxiously, but no one listened.

When Hua Ju saw them all coming up, his anger became even stronger, and he thought to himself: "It's really a tiger that doesn't show off its power. You think I'm a sick cat, so I'll let you know how powerful I am."

Shi Xiong's fist hit him with the sound of wind. Hua Ju did not dodge or dodge, but also hit him with a punch. As soon as the two fists touched, Shi Xiong felt that his whole arm was about to explode, and his fingers also felt a heartbreaking pain.

The body "kick-kicked" backwards for several steps in a row.

ah!

Shi Jie screamed and kicked him. Hua Ju's legs stood firmly like two iron pillars on the ground. He put his hands together in the middle, grabbed the ankle of Shi Jie's kick, and used the force to move to the left.

With a twist, he threw it out.

At this time, Shi Hao punched him from behind. Hua Ju stepped aside, grabbed his wrist with his left hand and pulled it forward, then clamped his head with his right hand, and punched his face twice with his left fist.

The beating left him with a brain concussion and dizziness.

Shi Meng chased after him and hit him with two punches. Huaju let go of Shi Hao and blocked his right fist with his left hand. Then he hit him in the face with a straight punch from his right hand. Shi Meng was hit so hard that his head tilted back and his feet hit him repeatedly.

Back up.

Hua Ju stepped forward quickly and punched out with both fists, one on the left and the other on the right. Shi Meng was hit with a black nose and bruised face, his head was swollen, and he stopped even thinking. His hands hung down weakly, completely losing the ability to fight back.

.

Fortunately, Hua Ju didn't want to kill him. Seeing his wandering eyes and dull expression, he immediately stopped Su Nan and took a few steps back.

Shi Meng shook twice like a broken tree stump, his knees softened, he knelt on the ground, then tilted to the left and fell.

From the time Sima Baoping and Lu Gang took action to Hua Ju knocking them down, the whole process took less than a minute.

This was certainly due to the fact that Shi Meng and the others underestimated the enemy, but the main reason was that Hua Ju was strong enough.

This is the saying that one force can defeat ten societies. No matter how strong one is in martial arts, everything is futile in the face of absolute power.

What's more, in addition to his strong strength, Hua Ju's martial arts are also extraordinary. In particular, his martial arts also integrates the skills and concepts of later generations of Sanda, free fighting, and boxing. There is no pretense, and it is all about defeating the enemy with one blow and a quick victory.

.

That's why Shi Meng and others were able to be knocked down in such a short period of time.

"Meng'er!"

"Gang'er!"

"Bao Ping!"

Shi Song, Sima Hong, and Lu Zhengxin hurried over to hold Shi Meng, Sima Baoping, and Lu Gang in their arms for inspection. They found that their lives were not in danger, and they breathed a sigh of relief.

Then the three of them looked towards Hua Ju and saw that Hua Ju had disappeared.

"Where is Mr. Hua?" Shi Song asked.

"Already gone." Shi Hao said.

It turned out that Hua Ju was worried about being blocked from leaving again later, so he left while Shi Song, Sima Hong, and Lu Gang were checking on Shi Meng's injuries.
