When Mu Ju was about to approach Situ Xi, Qixian stepped between them.

Mu Juzheng immediately stopped, and Mu Feng took a step to protect Mu Juzheng.

Qixian was not as tall as Mu Juzheng. He raised his head, steady his steps, and looked at Mu Juzheng warily.

"Your Highness, who is this little brother?" Mu Juzheng scratched his head out of habit and looked at Situ Xi in confusion.

"Qixian, this is one of our own." Situ Xi felt that the atmosphere between the two was a little tense and quickly explained. He did not want the two to fight in front of his house.

But Situ Xi's words did not make him relax. Qixian stared at Mu Juzheng closely with his eyes fixed, and said in a deep voice: "This person is dangerous."

This was nonsense to Situ Xi. He knew very well that Mu Juzheng was abnormal. It was not dangerous for one person to easily knock down a group of thugs.

"He is my guest. Ju Zheng, this one's name is Qixian. He is... well, you can understand him as my newly hired guard. You guys happen to know each other."

"Oh? Your Highness should really recruit more guards around you. This young man has a good momentum. He must have been practicing martial arts since he was a child. He is very good." Mu Juzheng smiled and nodded, reaching for Qixian's shoulder with his right hand.

I want to pat him on the shoulder and say hello cordially.

Qixian quickly took a step back and got out of the way.

Following Qixian's line of sight, Situ Xi discovered that Mu Ju's right hand's fingers were gathered in the air like claws. It was obvious that he just wanted to attack Qixian, and Situ Xi had a headache.

"Not bad, not bad. My brother is also very agile. How about we practice?" Mu Juzheng took his hand back, took Mu Feng's hand and smiled happily.

"If you want to practice, go to the yard and don't mess around on the street." Deciding not to bother with the two of them, Situ Xi lowered his head and looked at Mu Feng, "Xiao Feng, you come in first."

"Yes, sir!"

"Brother Qixian, let's go into the courtyard and fight, so as not to cause any trouble to His Highness." Mu Juzheng hurriedly caught up with Situ Xi.

Qixian looked at his back and no longer hesitated, and they walked into the courtyard together.

…

A few pieces of fallen red were swaying down in the wind from the peach blossom trees in the courtyard. There were many people sitting around in the corridor at the edge of the courtyard.

Fortunately, Situ Xi moved to a new courtyard. In the past, the small courtyard in the east of the city would definitely not be able to accommodate more than ten people at one time.

Mu Juzheng and Qixian were warming up in the middle of the yard. He had just gone to eat some pastries to fill his stomach.

He came to see Situ Xi today simply because the sake restaurant in charge of his food had been empty since morning. Shopkeeper Zhang and Zhang Yu'er were both out for business, so he wanted to come over and have a meal.

Zhong Limo also came back with Butler Chen just now. He seemed to have come here because of the smell, and he could watch this good show as soon as he came back.

"Sister, the Leng family is very popular, Leng Xiu has a very bad temper, and their business has been getting better and better in recent days. If we follow Madam to her home, will we harm her?"

On the edge of the corridor in the courtyard, the two sisters of the Su family had also finished bathing and changed into new clothes. They wiped their wet hair with cloth and came to the courtyard to wait for their hair to dry naturally.

"Sigh." Su Heluo shook his head, and finally just sighed.

She had just explained the whole story to Zhongli Min on the road, and also rejected Zhongli Min's proposal. She didn't want to cause any more trouble to others, but Zhongli Min insisted on bringing them back today...

As for Su Hejiu's worry that they would harm Zhongli Zhen, Su Heluo was not too worried.

Combining the token Mr. Situ took out last time and the reassuring words Zhong Limin said to her today, she knew that the status of this couple was extremely noble.

There are countless wealthy businessmen like the Leng family in Xuan'an, but there is only one mansion called "Zhongli Mansion".

Su Heluo had heard many rumors in the past that the Zhongli family was the most low-key among the powerful people in Xuan'an, but no one dared to provoke them.

What worries her is how to solve this problem. She has to rely on herself for everything and cannot always rely on others.

In fact, they had already contacted the officials yesterday, but they ignored the matter at all. Now they had to think of other ways...

"Sister Bai, are they preparing to fight?" Chao Yun was also sitting on the bench in the corridor at the moment. She was eating the fruit Qing Yu gave them and looked at Mu Juzheng and Qixian standing in the yard.

The two of them asked Man Jun, who was standing beside them.

Manjun's surname is Bai, which is consistent with the nickname of the 酴龾花. She did not take the fruit in the basket. She looked at the two people in the courtyard seriously, and the expectation flashed in her eyes.

"These two are very strong." Man Jun always spoke concisely, without any unnecessary expression on her face, which gave people the impression that she was very perverse.

"How about comparing with sister Pudie?"

"It's different." Man Jun shook her head. Pudie practiced light kung fu. If we were to talk about force alone, she might not be able to make a single move against these two people.

…

"Why haven't you started yet, Qixian? Are you afraid?"

At the edge of the courtyard, Situ Xi and his family were standing together. Zhong Limo saw that the two of them were still warming up. He was impatient and shouted to Qixian with a hint of ridicule. He and Qixian were a bit unable to deal with each other and were waiting to see.

He made a fool of himself.

"Ms. sir, do you want to let them use force? It will be bad if they get injured soon." Zhongli Min felt that it was dangerous to fight among his own people. After all, fists and feet have no eyes.

"It's just a competition. I also want to see how good their martial arts are. It's your right to watch."

"Take action!"

He whispered a reminder, and everyone turned their attention back to the field.

Qixian and Mu Juzheng were both bare-handed. Qixian took a stance on the spot. He lunged sideways, with one hand in front and the other behind. Just from this posture, it can be seen that his martial arts foundation is excellent.

Mu Juzheng was standing casually, without much movement in his hands. When Qixian didn't move, he raised his fist and rushed towards him.

When he got close to Qixian, Mu Juzheng stepped on his right foot, jumped up, stretched his right arm behind his shoulder, and punched Qixian's left hand that was defending in front of him.

The strong wind blew across his face, but Qixian did not dodge. He bent his knees, lowered his body, and stretched out his left palm, preparing to resist the punch forcefully.

The moment the fists and palms met, those on the sidelines saw such a simple exchange between the two and thought they were still testing each other.

And when Mu Juzheng's fist actually fell into Qixian's hand, Qixian's expression changed drastically. He squeezed the opponent's fist with his left palm, veins popped out in his arms, his hunched legs sank a little further, and his left shoulder moved toward

He leaned back and took a few steps back.

After standing still and looking at the smiling Mu Juzheng in front of him, Qixian was shocked: What kind of power is this?
