Chapter 95: Tong Qing's Challenge
The blue sky is clear, a bright moon illuminates the earth, and Zhezhao stands alone by the side of the post house pool, with a rare expression with a trace of dazedness.
"If we didn't have that engagement with us, would you choose me?"
Cui Wenqing's words echoed in Zhi Zhao's heart for a long time like heavy thunder, and Huang Zhongdalu's voice was deafening, which also made Zhi Zhao full of worries and had no intention of sleeping.
The reason why she wants to marry Cui Wenqing is largely because of the crisis faced by the Zhe family and the commitment between her fathers, if there is no marriage contract, maybe she doesn't know Cui Wenqing at all.
Since there is a marriage contract, it is the words of her parents, and with her filial disposition, she naturally chooses to keep her promise.
But at the beginning, she did have some disgust with Cui Wenqing.
This disgust comes from Cui Wenqing's pedantic character, thinking that he has to spend his whole life with such a boring man, and he can't help but feel a deep helplessness.
Even so, Zhe Zhao was also very concerned about Cui Wenqing, and when she learned that he had fallen into the water and was dying, she even risked being calculated by the Liao people and forcibly sent out the army to repel the Liao army, and then rushed back to Fuzhou day and night, just for his safety.
However, what Zhi Zhao never expected was that after Cui Wenqing fell into the water, he seemed to be a different person, not to mention that he was broad, and his thoughts were so avant-garde and trendy that people couldn't help but marvel.
And what made Zhe Zhao even more unexpected was that during this time, Cui Wenqing showed extraordinary wisdom, not only skillfully resolving the crisis at the celebration banquet, but also solving the bully Bao Hegui in Fugu County, so that she was finally able to expel Zhe Weiben's forces from Fugu.
If you want to talk about all this, Cui Wenqing is definitely a great contribution.
In addition to being happy, Zhe Zhao also felt a strange feeling, and it didn't seem so unacceptable to become a husband and wife with Cui Wenqing.
But tonight, Cui Wenqing's words gave Zhi Zhao a shocking feeling, which made her have to seriously think about the current relationship between the two.
I thought about it for a while, but it was still messy, and I didn't know what she thought about Cui Wenqing.
Besides, Cui Wenqing once said that she would leave after helping her deal with Zhe Weiben, and the two would naturally face reconciliation and separation, if so, how should they deal with it?
Thinking of this, Zhi Zhao was even more bored, and there was a deep sense of frustration that came from nowhere, looking up at the moon in the middle of the sky and sighing gently, but he was depressed.

In the early morning of the next day, Cui Wenqing was still asleep when he was woken up by a noise outside.
"Cui Wenqing, you come out for me!"
"Didn't you hear? Do you still want to be a turtle with a shrunken head? ”
Suddenly, Cui Wenqing woke up with a spirit, turned over and stayed, and the noise outside was in his ears, and it was indeed his name that was shouted.
"Rub! What kind of ghost crying wolf early in the morning disturbs people's dreams! ”
With a shout and scolding, Cui Wenqing put on his clothes, kicked on his shoes, opened the door and strode out.
Standing in the courtyard was Tong Qing, who I had seen last night.
Today, he was wearing a flawless white cloud helmet, wearing bright silver armor, and a phoenix winged gilt boring in his hand, glaring at Cui Wenqing with a finger of gilt boring in his hand, and said in a high-spirited manner: "It's finally out, right?" Cui Wenqing, take out your weapon, I want to compete with you. ”
Cui Wenqing came back to his senses, angry and funny, and asked, "Tong Gongzi, you don't rest in the bed this morning, why did you come to me?" And they are shouting and shouting and killing, I don't know what offends you below? ”
Tong Qing also knew that he was very rude to do this, and in the face of Cui Wenqing's accusation, his face turned red inexplicably, and he argued forcibly: "You didn't offend me, it's just that I am Sister Zhao's brother, so I naturally have the obligation to try your ability to protect Sister Zhao, don't talk nonsense, come, let's fight." After speaking, he put on a posture, and when he saw it, he was going to make a move.
At this time, Zhi Zhao was also alarmed by the noise, and his footsteps hurried over, and when he saw this, he was shocked, and hurriedly frowned and asked, "Tong Qing, what do you mean by this?" ”
Tong Qing knew that he was at a loss, but in front of Zhi Zhao, he still refused to be soft, and said angrily: "Sister Zhao, I want to try that Cui Wenqing has the ability to protect you, don't worry, I just tried his martial arts, and I won't hurt him." ”
"Ridiculous!" Hearing this, Zhi Zhao suddenly became a little angry, and said angrily, "You are also a captain in the army now, why do you do things so lightly and seriously?" Hurry up and put your weapons away! ”
Tong Qing had never been reprimanded like this by Zhi Zhao, his face turned red, and he gritted his teeth tightly and his cheeks bulged high.
Seeing this, Cui Wenqing couldn't help laughing, shook his hand and said: "Du Du Niang, since he wants to compete, then I should go down, I don't like my own woman to stand up for me!" ”
The phrase "my own woman" was so hot that my ears were hot, and my heartbeat seemed to have missed a few beats, and I was a little stunned for a while.
On the contrary, Tong Qing was in high spirits, and nodded suddenly: "Okay, you are still a man!" Come, take out your weapons, and fight me heartily to see who is the best! ”
Zhi Zhao knew that Cui Wenqing didn't know martial arts, and he was definitely not the opponent of Tong Qing, who had practiced martial arts since he was a child and had superb martial arts, and when he saw that Cui Wenqing actually agreed, he was suddenly a little anxious in his heart.
Unexpectedly, Cui Wenqing smiled unhurriedly and said, "Tong Gongzi, in addition to the competition, I have a question I want to ask you." ”
Tong Qingjin was on the ground and asked in a deep voice: "You have something to say, but it doesn't hurt to ask." ”
"That's the case, according to your logic, Tong Gongzi, only those who are skilled in martial arts can protect their own mothers, right?"
"Yes, that's right!"
"Hehe, then I'm strange, I'm towards the Son of Heaven and the doctor to rule the world together, and there are many scholars who are powerless, so dare to ask them if they can't protect their own ladies?"
"This ......" Tong Qing obviously didn't expect Cui Wenqing to say this, and he was a little speechless for a while.
Cui Wenqing was not ready to let him go, and continued to speak: "Moreover, according to legend, the current official family is also a person who has never practiced martial arts, and his body is weak and sick, so can he not protect the queen mother?" ”
"There are also Xianggong Anshi, Sima Xianggong, etc., all of whom are also scholars, so they can't protect their wives?"
A sharp question suddenly made Tong Qing speechless, and fine sweat broke out on his forehead.
Cui Wenqing sneered and said lightly: "Young Master Tong, the reason why I want to agree to your competition is not because I want to prove to you that I can protect Zhezhao, but because you are challenging my dignity as a man!" I know I can't beat you, but even if you beat me, you'll be charged with bullying, and in the end, I'll win! ”
Tong Qing's face changed, obviously he didn't expect this question, and he couldn't answer a word.
