Chapter 623 - 623 Peerless Good Axe
623 Peerless Good Axe
Qi Xingfeng let go of Zhang Yuehan and took two steps forward to catch it steadily. He held the handle of the huge axe with both hands and rested it heavily on his shoulder. He touched it lovingly and said, “Thank you, Xiaolu.”
“Little general Qi, quickly open it and take a look.”
Some people cheered. They had followed them all the way here just to see the true appearance of the huge axe.
Qi Xingfeng was in high spirits. Under everyone’s expectant gazes, he untied the red knot and then untied the red cloth wrapped around the huge axe.!!
When the cold glint appeared, everyone exclaimed in unison.
It was a good axe, a peerless grade. One could tell just by looking at it.
Even if it was not sharpened, it could still make people feel a chill.
Just looking at such a huge axe made one’s scalp tingle. If it slashed down, it would probably split a person into two.
“Go, go—”
There was the sound of an anxious horse. At the same time, there was a shout. “I heard that Little General Qi obtained a good axe. I’m here to give it a try.”
The person who came was none other than Chu Jin. He had heard the commotion and came over.
Qi Xingfeng had obtained something good, which made him extremely envious. However, he still had to give it a try to know how good it was.
The two young and energetic generals, whose martial arts were well-known in the capital, fought, causing people to clap and cheer.
The surrounding people who were originally not interested also came to watch and automatically left, leaving the area where the two of them were fighting.
Qi Xingfeng held his giant axe and put it down heavily. The bluestone bricks on the ground vibrated. He looked at Chu Jin and said in a deep voice, “Qi Xingfeng, accept the challenge!”
Chu Jin had already dismounted from his horse and casually threw the reins of the horse aside. The guards of the Qi Residence immediately took over and took the horse away to take care of it.
A guard went in to report to General Qi.
Father Qi was shocked. “The Chu family’s Eldest Young Master is here? He wants to fight my son?”
He turned to look at General Qi with a fanatical gaze. “Grandpa, I can’t play chess with you anymore. I have to go and take a look. Later, you can punish me by shutting me in for three days. But now, please forgive me for being rude.”
Chu Jin was also a good seedling. It was rumored that he had always been at odds with his son and often fought with him on the coaching field. He retreated after he was injured, so he had never seen him before.
Now that Qi Xingfeng had just obtained a good weapon and Chu Jin came to challenge him, he had no choice but to take a look.
The old general stroked his beard and smiled meaningfully. As he watched Father Qi get up and run away, he sighed softly. “He’s still too anxious. If he had waited a few more seconds, he wouldn’t have wasted three days, right?”
The guard who was reporting lowered his head and pursed his lips to suppress his laughter.
In terms of scheming, General Qi was still the best.
The old general was old. Previously, when he was injured, he thought that he would not be able to survive. However, now that the spiritual energy had recovered and the old general had recovered, it was definitely not a problem for him to live for another 20 to 30 years.
His dignified aura was natural.
General Qi stood up and walked out.
Chu Jin didn’t expect to alarm Father Qi and even Old General Qi. Seeing the two of them come out, he cupped his hands and greeted them. “Junior Chu Jin greets General Qi and Grand General Qi. Junior was just interested and didn’t mean to alarm the two elders.”
Only then did Father Qi realize that General Qi was also there. He immediately understood.
However, he did not have the time to regret this. He sized Chu Jin up. He had a mighty appearance and a majestic figure. It was obvious that he was a good seedling among the generals.
“The younger generation will surpass us. Not bad, not bad. We’re just here to watch the show. You don’t have to be nervous.”
Father Qi said calmly.
In front of his grandfather, he was a brat, but in front of his juniors, he was steady and serious.
General Qi smiled gently and said, “Chu Leizhen has a good son. Not bad. You are of the same generation. Feel free to spar. You don’t have to be mindful of us old people. You just have fun. Young people should have the fighting spirit to win and not admit defeat. Is this place wide enough? If not, I’ll get someone to clear it. I’ll let you compete to your heart’s content so that your Chu family’s long mace won’t be wronged.”
From General Qi’s tone, Chu Jin could tell that he was forthright and did not hold any grudges. Moreover, he was also very happy that General Qi recognized the weapon in his hand at a glance.
It was only now that Qi Xingfeng had a weapon that he was proud of. He had had it long ago, even though he was still waiting for his father to pass it to him to use.
When he heard the news, he hurriedly brought the mace over. There was ardor and zeal coursing through his blood. He had heard from Qi Xingfeng a long time ago that it was personally forged by the number one swordsman in the world. He would only know how powerful it was after trying it out.
Chu Jin cupped his fists. “Thank you, Grand General. Junior will be grateful.”
Since they wanted to compete, they had to compete to their heart’s content.
This bit of space was obviously not big enough.
He and Qi Xingfeng would definitely not have a good time with the crowd surrounding them. If they expanded the venue a little, they would not have to worry.
Everyone waited excitedly and retreated.
Yan Qingyun didn’t expect such a thing to happen.
He took his son, Yan Zhiyuan, to be a spectator.
Hearing the people around him say that the huge axe was sent by Su Xiaolu, Yan Qingyun sighed faintly.
Yan Zhiyuan frowned and said in displeasure, “Ignorant ingrate. Back then, my mother…”
Yan Qingyun’s face darkened. “Shut up.”
Why didn’t he take a look at where he was? Not to mention that the walls had ears, this was simply a crowded market. How could he say those words?
It was not easy for him to ease the relationship. If word got out, all his efforts would be in vain.
Although their current relationship with the Su family could not be compared to that of the Qi family and the Su family, it was still passable and could be considered a good relationship. He was Madam Zhao’s father and Su Chong and Su Hua’s grandfather. Everyone in the imperial court knew that as long as they did not become enemies, they would still care about them on account of this relationship.
However, it was difficult to maintain this relationship, but it was easy to destroy it.
This son of his had always been unconvinced and vicious. Now, he did not understand his good intentions and almost spoke without thinking in such a place. It really made him angry and disappointed.
Yan Zhiyuan was also very angry at being scolded in public. Although he had tolerated it, he still bore a grudge in his heart.
He glared at Su Xiaolu fiercely. What an ingrate. If his mother hadn’t shown mercy back then, they wouldn’t be here now. Now that they were in the limelight, they only knew how to side with outsiders. Su Hua openly confronted him in court, and Su Chong was even strict with the people he pushed over. Now, they only knew how to give good things to outsiders.
What was so good about the Qi family?
Yan Zhiyuan’s eyes were dark.
Su Xiaolu felt an unfriendly gaze and looked over. Yan Qingyun smiled warmly and waved. Su Xiaolu also smiled and waved back. Her impression of this grandfather was not good. Her gaze finally landed on Yan Zhiyuan. The unfriendly gaze just now should be his.
Su Xiaolu took a glance and looked away. Yan Zhiyuan’s good and evil deeds had nothing to do with her. She did not care or fear him.
