Everyone obviously didn't expect that Qu Gao could be so eloquent. The two people who were especially surprised were Wang Shou and Zhu Yan. Wang Shou needless to say, if Qu Gao hadn't stopped him, Zhu Yan would have spoken out and argued with Chen Xuan.
Already.
Chen Xuan was scolded until he was speechless and froze in place. He had never thought that Qu Gao would dare to talk back without the protection of the king's head. He had lived for more than twenty years and had never seen such an arrogant corporal from a humble family. You know,
No matter how bad the Chen family in Xiangyang is, there are still hundreds of servants in the whole family, and the Qu family only has a family of four. How dare he dare to commit such a crime! All the young people in fine clothes obviously can't believe that Qu Gao has the guts to say such a thing.
In other words, in their understanding, a poor family is the same as being enslaved by servants. If you are disrespectful to the nobles, you can be executed.
He must be so presumptuous because he wants to be the governor's son-in-law! This idea was recognized as soon as it appeared in everyone's mind. Thinking of this, they despised Qu Gao even more. Only Wang Shou and Zhu Yan
, looking at Qu Gao with recognition and pride in his eyes.
Qu Gao, Zhu Yan, and Zhong Lijun walked around Chen Xuan. Before they had even taken ten steps, another person stood up from behind and said, "Brother Chen, there is no need to feel sad. He is just a street kid. His parents have no education, but they can teach him well."
What kind of stuff!"
Qu Gao turned around and looked around, and saw a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy in fine clothes walking out of the crowd, standing next to Chen Xuan. The boy also looked at Qu Gao. The two looked at each other, and the boy exclaimed, "Ah!"
When everyone looked at him, they saw the anger and murderous intent in Qu Gao's eyes, and they all immediately shuddered. Qu Gao walked over step by step, looking coldly at the increasingly frightened and helpless young man. The coldness in his eyes was like
It seemed as if the surroundings were frozen, the wind stopped, the horses stopped braying, and the huge world seemed to be still, except for the sound of two people's heartbeats.
Gradually, Qu Gao was getting closer and closer, and his heartbeat was getting closer and closer. The young man wanted to hide, but his whole body seemed to be frozen by those cold eyes, unable to move at all.
Qu Gao walked around to the young man's side and said with a cold breath: "The fate is uncertain. Sometimes it is a hundred years long, and sometimes it is just an inch away from the sword." As he said that, his right hand clasped the hilt of the sword at his waist.
"Qu Lang, no!" Wang Shou stood between the young man and Qu Gao, and scolded the young man coldly: "It's a waste of time that you have read a few books, but your tongue is so sinister, why don't you apologize to Qu Lang!" After that, he said again
He quickly turned around and saw that Qu Gao's anger had not subsided. He stretched out his hand, put it on Qu Gao's right hand that was holding the sword hilt, and whispered: "You have great ambitions in the future, and it will be too early to break out of the cocoon now." He spoke in a low voice.
Only two people can hear it.
Feeling the gentle power coming from Wang Shou's hand, Qu Gao's anger gradually subsided. He looked at Wang Shou suspiciously, a little puzzled. There seemed to be a power in Wang Shou's hand. This kind of power could control people.
The soul should be similar to the coercion of Chang Fuhai, except that one is strong and the other is soft. If Chang Fuhai's power can make people fear, the softness of the king's head, which moisturizes things silently, can transform people's ferocious aura.
.
The two of them withdrew their hands together, and Qu Gao looked at the boy who was shocked and speechless. He had insulted his parents and would never let him go. The king also knew this, but when he saw that most of Qu Gao's anger had disappeared, he retreated.
When Wang Shou retreated, the young man was even more frightened. He knew that this meant that Wang Shou had tacitly agreed that Qu Gao could do whatever he wanted. Seeing this, the sons of the scholar family wanted to plead with Wang Shou, but they thought
Just now Wang Shou was wary of Qu Gaoshang and swallowed back the words that came to his lips.
"You...how are you treating me? My father is the head of the Shen family, and I am the legitimate son of the Shen family. If you dare to touch a hair on my head, your whole family will be buried with you!" The young man said this harshly, wanting to scare him.
Qu Gao, but saw that he had a cold face and didn't care, and became afraid again.
Qu Gao accidentally caught sight of Zhong Lijun gritting his teeth and clenching his fists, and shouted: "Jun'er, someone insults your uncle, what should you do?"
When asked suddenly, Zhongli Jun was stunned for a moment. He had just wanted to use fists and kicks to teach these scornful scholars, but he also knew that he could not afford to offend these people, and neither could Qu Gao.
Therefore, he could not answer Qu Gao's question.
"You can do whatever you think in your heart."
Zhong Lijun was still stunned on the spot, Qu Gao said: "Since you don't know, then I will teach you." After saying that, there was a clear and loud "pop", Qu Gao slapped the young man to the ground, and said coldly: "You
Since your tongue is so vicious, I will let you have a long memory. If you speak uncontrollably again, your tongue will be pulled out."
Qu Gao has been practicing martial arts for ten years, how powerful this slap was! The young man fell to the ground, his eyes and ears were dizzy, blood oozing out from the crack in the corner of his mouth, tears fell like rain, but he just didn't dare to cry out. Shijia
Among the disciples, those who were aggrieved were suppressed by the king's sharp eyes.
After such a fuss, the three of them lost interest in visiting the mountains. Qu Gao rode 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, are you annoyed that I dare not come forward?"
Zhu Yan chuckled, knowing that Zhongli Jun was also stunned by the situation just now, and said with a smile: "How courageous do you think he is? He is walking in front without saying a word. He must be worried about the Shen family and the Chen family.
Revenge. If he acts so arrogantly, he still has lingering fears, so how can he offend you?"
Zhongli Jun asked doubtfully: "Uncle has a sword in his hand, a horse at his feet, and a courageous mind. Why should he be afraid?" Zhu Yan sighed softly: "My parents and family are all tied up, so my sworn brother is not afraid.
They are powerful, but their adopted father and adopted mother are all honest people who keep their own rights after all. The Kuang Shi family has the right of life and death over the people of the poor family..." Zhu Yan stopped talking, and suddenly thought that if the Qu family also became a noble family,
Although the family power is temporarily inferior to that of the Shen family and the Chen family, they have equal legal status. The Shen and Chen families do not dare to make trouble against the Qu family, and Qu Gao no longer has this worry. And she wants to do business in Xiangyang, if not
The background of the gentry was supportive, and the tax burden alone was astonishingly high. After a long while, Zhu Yan whispered numbly: "The Qu family must be made a gentry."
Since the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the hierarchy of noble families has been very strict. It is extremely difficult to upgrade civilian status to noble status. However, Zhu Yan, like Qu Gao, is a bold person. Even she herself does not know the goal that Zhu Yan has set.
She worked for this goal her whole life, but in the end she never saw it with her own eyes.
