第642章即将摊牌

张白骑在王双家里住了下来，开始几天王双依旧对他没什么好脸色，动不动就拿脚踹他，不过很快他就掌握了躲避的规律，使自己挨踹的几率大大降低，否则这样一直踹下去，他非要被对方踹成半身不遂。
According to the saying, "hitting is love, scolding is affection," if Wang Shuang is willing to kick him, it means she has feelings for him. She wouldn't bother kicking someone else.
As time goes by, the relationship between the two grows rapidly through the hitting and scolding. The old lady also likes Zhang Baiqi, this young man, and has the intention of bringing him back home to be her son-in-law.
One day, a foreigner named Zhang Baiqi arrived in a small mountain village. At first, the villagers were curious about him and would visit his house to inquire about him. This allowed Zhang Baiqi to quickly become acquainted with the people around him.
Hunting does not require going every day, but fishing is a daily routine. There is also chopping wood. There are many elderly people in the village, but few young people and almost no girls. In another ten years or so, maybe no one will live here anymore. The old lady has a kind heart and often asks Wang Shuang to take care of the older people.
Zhang Baiqi thinks that there is no problem doing work, but he can't understand why he has to take care of elderly people who are not related to him.
Everyone has hands and feet, and you can't let others support you just because you are old and can't work. That would be unfair to yourself. However, other young people in the village are doing the same thing, so besides not understanding, he can only silently accept it.
There is always a little episode in a peaceful life,
On this day, a young gentleman who came to the countryside to enjoy the outing, accompanied by several seemingly diligent servants, clearly someone who is rude and unreasonable.
However, this young gentleman, for reasons unknown, took a liking to Wang Shuang, who exudes a rural vibe, and insisted on marrying her and bringing her home as his wife. Shamelessly, he even followed her to her home and shamelessly flaunted his superiority and thick-skinned nature.
Wang Shuang, extremely despises this person. After only a few words, she already knows that this person's surname is Tian and comes from a wealthy family. He has an ordinary appearance and can't compare to the handsome Zhang Baiqi. In short, she doesn't like him.
It is somewhat vague to say that Zhang Baiqi's feelings for Wang Shuang are still unclear, but subconsciously, he has already regarded her as his future wife. Suddenly, an annoying love rival quietly emerged.
"I've been on the road all day and haven't eaten yet. It's fortunate that I can have your game meat today, haha." Young Master Tian spoke without any politeness and sat down at the table.
Zhang Baiqi suppressed his anger and said, "This is not a place for someone like you, a privileged young master."
Wang Shuang said, "Alright, stop talking. There are rarely any visitors in the mountains, so don't be stingy. Come with me and get some bowls and chopsticks."
Zhang Baiqi followed silently behind her and came to the kitchen. Suddenly, unable to control his impulse, he hugged Wang Shuang from behind.
Wang Shuang blushed and squirmed uncomfortably. She lowered her voice and said, "Let me go."
Zhang Baiqi shook his head and said, "I won't let it go. You tell me the truth, what's the deal with this Tian Gongzi?"
"Are you even a man? Are you jealous over such a trivial matter?"
"I'm not jealous, I just want to clarify things."
"Hmph, who knows what you're thinking."
"Don't you understand my feelings?"
"Of course, but one thing at a time. Don't be so rude in front of the guests in the future. Let go of me quickly, don't let Mother see."
See it, just see it. After all, you will be mine sooner or later.
Zhang Baiqi thought beautifully in his heart, but still let go of his hands.
When they came back, they found that Tian Gongzi was showing great courtesy to the old lady, but the words he said were very annoying.
The old lady listened quietly and then said, "Young Master Tian, your family is well-off, while we are just a humble family. This marriage proposal doesn't seem quite suitable, I think it's best to forget about it."
Zhang Baiqi secretly gave a thumbs up to the old lady, feeling extremely happy. As long as the old lady stood on his side, this marriage would definitely go through.
Tian Gongzi casually said, "I don't care about these things. What I value is Miss Shuang'er herself. Whatever conditions you have, feel free to mention them. I guarantee to satisfy you."
The old lady frowned, feeling uncomfortable with his words as if he was trying to sell her granddaughter.
Young Master Tian seemed oblivious to the impropriety and continued, "There is nothing in this impoverished mountain village. Such a pretty girl like Duolei should not be wasted here. She should come with me to the city and enjoy a life of luxury."
The old lady's expression became slightly displeased and she whispered, "No matter how bad this place is, it is our homeland that raised us. I am afraid Shuang'er won't adapt well to the city. Don't mention this matter again in the future, Tian Gongzi."
Tian Gongzi spoke for a long time, but the old lady still refused to agree, which made him extremely angry. He thought to himself, "What an ungrateful old woman! It's a blessing for your daughter that I am interested in her. Yet, you insist on keeping your daughter confined to this poor mountain village."
Hmph, since being soft doesn't work, then let's try being tough.
With a sudden movement, he stood up and bluntly said, "Let me tell you, today I am definitely taking Miss Shuang Er with me. Don't be shameless."
"Pa!"
Zhang Baiqi couldn't bear his words and immediately threw the bowl at his head. Suddenly, a scream came out of Tian Kongzi's mouth, and then he cried without any dignity.
"Damn it, he's bleeding! You bastards, hurry up and arrest him! Take him down!" Tianson, furious, pointed at Zhang Baqi and roared.
Usually, his servants would act arrogantly in the city, but he didn't expect Zhang Baqi to have such audacity to smash his own master in front of them. He must be taught a lesson.
Zhang Baiqi, who has been through dozens of battlefields, wouldn't put these servants in his eyes at all. He said to Wang Shuang, "You protect Auntie, I will take care of these guys."
Wang Shuang whispered, "Then you be careful yourself."
Encouraged by Wang Shuang, Zhang Baiqi became even more fierce, swinging a stool and smashing it towards a servant.
The servant immediately fell to the ground, his head smashed open, blood pouring down his face.
Zhang Baiqi shouted loudly and rushed towards the other two people. They had never seen such a ruthless person before, scared and cowering on the ground, begging for mercy, "Please spare us, sir!"
Tian Gongzi swallowed his saliva. He had witnessed the skills of these subordinates before; usually, one could easily handle two opponents. Why is it not working today against Zhang Baiqi?
No reason!
Without waiting for him to investigate further, he suddenly felt a pain in his buttocks, and then his whole body flew up and slammed heavily back to the ground.
This was a kick from Wang Shuang. Tian Gongzi had pestered her relentlessly, and she had long been suppressing her anger. Since they had already fallen out, there was naturally no need to endure any longer.
Zhang Baiqi didn't intend to let him go like this. He chased after him with a stool, holding it high, ready to smash it down.
Tian Gongzi quickly shouted, "Don't hit, please don't hit. If you hit me again, I'll lose my life. What about my wife and children..."
"What? You actually have a wife and child?"
Zhang Baiqi almost burst out laughing, this brat was so dishonest, eating from one bowl while peeking into another, isn't that just asking for a beating.
So he didn't hesitate, and smashed the stool down again, but this time he didn't hit the other person's head, instead it landed heavily on their back. This was the result of Tian Gongzi's best efforts to dodge, and although the hit was heavy, it wasn't fatal.
"That's enough, stop fighting," the old lady said, worried that someone would get seriously injured.
Zhang Baiqi hesitated. It is said that if you don't kill the snake, you will be bitten by it. This Tian Gongzi doesn't look like a good person. Who knows what he will do for revenge if we let him go back."
Moreover, this is a deep mountain area, even if someone is beaten to death, it won't cause any trouble.
However, since the old lady has already spoken, he cannot go too far with the matter, otherwise it will displease the old lady.
What should we do?
As he hesitated, Wang Shuang followed and advised, "Bai Qi, let's not fight. Let them go, and they won't dare to come again in the future."
Tian Gongzi was extremely nervous in his heart. Though he was not smart, he could tell that Zhang Baiqi had murderous intent towards him.
Now I want to save my life and leave the fate of the Wang Shuang mother and daughter in their hands.
A glimmer of hope ignited in his heart as he knelt and crawled to Wang Shuang, wailing, "Miss, I was blind and foolish, I am a toad, and you are a bodhisattva from the heavens, thank you..."
Wang Shuang frowned and said, "Shut up and get lost."
"Yes, yes, I'm leaving right away!"
Tian Gongzi, disregarding the bloodstains on his face, called a few servants and hurriedly ran towards the outside.
Looking at the fleeing figure in a sorry state, Zhang Baiqi felt a trace of worry in his heart.
It is worth noting that when he captured Hulao Pass back then, he was also full of confidence and did not send anyone to pursue the remnants of Huangfu Song's defeated soldiers. As a result, he suffered a counterattack in just two days.
这样的后果实在是太可怕了，他不希望在自己身上经历第二次。
王双看出他心中还是有些疑虑，走过去牵住他的手，说道：“娘常说要与人为善，不要再难为他了。”
Zhang Baiqi smiled and said, "I'll listen to you, but next time, don't bring such a person home."
Wang Shuang angrily retorted, "Forget it, you've become unserious again so soon."
The old lady smiled and said, "Shuang'er, after this incident, I think you should get married soon and fulfill my wish."
Wang Shuang was instantly embarrassed and said, "Mother, what are you talking about? Who said I was going to marry him?"
"Let's not talk about these things anymore. Sit down and eat quickly."
"Zhang Baiqi smiled and said, today we caught three big fish. We gave two of them to the elderly people in the village. The gluttony in our stomachs couldn't bear it anymore."
........
In Huolao Pass, a group of people are busy cleaning up the bodies of the last batch of Yellow Turban rebels.
When the common people see that the hidden danger has finally been eliminated, they cheer loudly with joy.
Emperor Fu Song's face also showed a relieved expression. The hidden danger was finally eliminated, and now he could return to the capital to report to the Emperor. Although there were some mistakes this time, he still managed to annihilate tens of thousands of Yellow Turban rebels. What the Emperor valued most was the result, and it seemed that the process was not important.
However, his good mood did not last long, as Xu Fushou called him over.
Xu Fushou sat on a chair with a creepy smile on his face. Yin Yin sat on his lap with a coquettish expression. He touched her face and spoke cheerfully, "General Hu, I have cleared the bodies at Hulao Pass for you. When shall we return to the capital?"
Huang Fusu waved his hand and said, "Xu Fushou, when it is time to return to the capital, I will inform you. Now, I..."
Xu Fushou squinted his eyes and said, "It seems like General Huangfu intends to break his promise, huh?"
"Xu Fushou, you're quite daring. I will naturally not go back on my promise."
"Why are you getting worked up? I didn't say anything." Xu Fushou understood clearly the behavior of Huang Fusong, but at this moment, he didn't want to have a falling-out with the other party.
Huangfusong's complexion didn't look good. He hates it most when someone interrupts him, especially during this special period. If Xufushou knows what's good for him, he would naturally give the other party a promising future, but that future is not in the capital.
He is now in his fifties, with little room for promotion. It can be said that he has reached the pinnacle of power within the court. Except for General He Jin, who can firmly suppress him, he really doesn't regard other officials as significant.
As people get older, their expectations for power diminish. They crave family affection more and prefer to spend time with their loved ones, rather than engaging in power struggles.
Xu Fushou indeed had some unorthodox methods, and he didn't want to offend or introduce the other party to the emperor.
But he didn't want to say these words outright. It would be best if Xu Fushou could realize the difficulty and back off.
