Chapter 164: Jousting

Chapter 164

Qin Zhao saw his front and remembered that he was the man who had looked at her that day!

She said, "Huo Jun, this person seems to be very dissatisfied with us. Go and give him some color to see."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Zhou Yuan asked, "General Huo, are you afraid? If so, I might as well change someone to challenge."

Huo Jun stepped forward, "No need."

After she walked over, Zhou Yuan took the initiative to attack.

His fists were as big as a child’s head. With just a wave, it made the audience feel nervous for Huo Jun.

If this was hit, I was afraid that half of my life would be gone!

But Huo Jun didn't dodge or evade, and went straight ahead.

At the moment before the two fists touched, she suddenly turned around, flipped her hand to grab his wrist.

Then, Huo Jun suddenly turned around and threw Zhou Yuan over her shoulder!

The crowd burst into exclamations!

Zhou Yuan's back touched the ground, half of his body was numb, and he was paralyzed on the ground for a long time before he regained consciousness.

He inexplicably grew afraid in his heart that if his body was paralyzed and he became a waste, it would be more painful than killing him!

To verify the functionality of his body, Zhou Yuan forced himself to get up from the ground.

After confirming that the body could still move, he felt relieved.

But as soon as he took a step forward, he felt uncomfortable, and his right leg did not obey orders.

Zhou Yuan limped forward, and the most worrying situation still happened.

His heart was sad!

Several of Zhou Yuan's brothers ran over angrily to support him, "Brother Zhou, do you want us to go and get justice for you from the Huo family?!"

Zhou Yuan shook his head: "I underestimated him, he really deserved his reputation.

I am willing to admit defeat."

"So soon?

Then when will you avenge your grudge against him?!"

Zhou Yuan thought for a long time and said, "Maybe I really can’t beat him."

"Hey! It's really iron not steel!"

After Huo Jun defeated Zhou Yuan, considering that the weather was really hot, she let the soldiers go back to rest.

She walked back to Qin Zhao's side and said, "The Chi Rong army has not moved much recently, which makes me feel very strange.

With the fiery personality of the Chi Rong people, they should not be so tolerant after losing a fierce general."

Qin Zhao said, "Don't worry, I sent someone to investigate the situation. As long as there is news, I will tell you.

Be prepared in advance."

"Yes."

As the two were talking, they walked towards the big tent.

A figure flashed by, and when they looked closely, it turned out to be Ling Yuan!

Qin Zhao said, "You're back, did you bring back any useful intelligence?"

Ling Yuan said, "Your Highness, the subordinate detected that the Chi Rong Country had assembled 100,000 troops and was heading towards Yunzhong City."

"How long will it take to arrive?"

"About five days."

"In addition, the Jihu have been continuously launching fierce attacks on Cangxi City recently and have made progress.

I'm afraid they will capture Cangxi City within three days."

Qin Zhao said, "Well, thank you for your hard work, go back and rest for a few days."

After Ling Yuan thanked Qin Zhao, he disappeared before their eyes.

Huo Jun was shocked by Ling Yuan's ghost-like light work that came out of nowhere and went nowhere, and sighed, "Your Highness is surrounded by talents."

"I don't deny that, otherwise I wouldn't fancy you either.

You are as good as them."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Qin Zhao asked, "How do you plan to deal with what Ling Yuan said?"

Huo Jun said, "Cangxi City is easy to defend and difficult to attack. The terrain where the Northwest Army is located is so good that even they can lose, which is undoubtedly the commander's fault.

If we could replace him with a capable and clever person to guard the city, maybe things would turn around."

"Do you have a suitable candidate?"

Huo Jun shook her head, "No, this is also causing me headaches."

Qin Zhao said, "I think someone is not bad."

"Your Highness, please tell me."

"Zhou Yuan who lost to you today."

Huo Jun was puzzled: "Why did Your Highness say that? Zhou Yuan doesn't seem to have anything special."

Qin Zhao shook her finger, "Although he lost to you, his martial arts skills are very high.

Also, he did not lose control of his emotions after failing, so I think his mentality is good.

The only point that might be problematic is that there is hatred in the way he looks at you!

But let's communicate about this matter first and see if he has any misunderstandings about you, or Huo Chengjin."

Huo Jun couldn't help but praise her: "Your Highness's mind is so meticulous, I have learned."

The two found Zhou Yuan's tent by asking the soldiers.

After they went in, they saw several soldiers taking care of Zhou Yuan.

Zhou Yuan's legs seemed to be getting worse. At this time, he couldn't stand up anymore.

He fell back on the bed several times trying to straighten his body.

The soldiers suddenly realized that the princess and General Huo were here, and they quickly kneeled down to salute.

Qin Zhao said, "At ease."

And said to Zhou Yuan, who was struggling to get up on the bed, "You just lie in bed, no need to be overly courteous."

There was a momentary astonishment in Zhou Yuan's eyes, but he also followed Qin Zhao's intention and obediently lay down.

Qin Zhao walked to his bedside and asked, "Do you want to restore your previous physical condition?"

Zhou Yuan replied rather decadently, "How can I not want it?

But I know my own body clearly, I'm afraid I won't be able to walk anymore."

"This palace has an ancient prescription that can cure you."

Zhou Yuan asked excitedly, "Really?

Please tell me, Your Highness. After I recover, I will wholeheartedly serve Your Highness and work like a dog and a horse for you!"

Qin Zhao saw at a glance that Zhou Yuan's symptoms were paralysis caused by compression of the thigh nerve.

Resetting bones, combined with acupuncture treatment, would soon cure him.

She said, "I came here wanting to give you a chance to prove your loyalty to me."

"Please tell me, Your Highness."

"If I cure you, let you guard Cangxi City, and only allow you to succeed without failing, are you willing to go there?"

Zhou Yuan said solemnly, "Thank you for appreciating me, Your Highness, I will do my best.

If the Jihu people want to take down Cangxi City, they will have to step over my corpse!"

"With your word, I can rest assured.

But I still don't understand something.

Why is there so much resentment in your eyes when you look at General Huo?"

Zhou Yuan turned his face sideways, speaking sullenly: "It was something that happened years ago.

At that time I was just a new soldier who had just enlisted.

On patrol, I rescued a badly injured woman.

I took her to a safe place and took care of her until she recovered.

During that time, I developed feelings for her, so I proposed to her.

And she also agreed.

We set the date for our wedding.

I sent invitations to my brothers in the army and invited them to attend the wedding banquet.

But on the day we got married, she actually...she actually...

At this point, Zhou Yuan seemed to be difficult to express in words, unable to continue.

Qin Zhao's gossip heart was ignited. She wanted to know what sin Huo Chengjin had committed, so she asked, "Go on, what did she actually do?"
