life in ancient gods

Chapter 97
"...surnamed Su, you...you dare to insult Sha?!...you...I..."

Sha Heng became so angry that he almost died of anger and wanted to kill Su Ping'an.

But in Jinling City, there is a clear regulation that one cannot fight at will, even if he is the prefect's nephew, otherwise he will be severely punished.

Sha Heng also had scruples about Su Ping'an's identity. After all, Su Ping'an was the guard captain of Jinling City, and his duty was to protect the safety and order of Jinling City.Although Sha Heng hated Su Pingan so much, he didn't dare to attack Su Pingan lightly. He could only force Su Pingan to do it first, or accept his challenge.

The surrounding atmosphere was extremely intense and tense, and more and more passers-by watching the excitement gathered around, which could be called a sea of ​​people, blocking the wide road completely.

"...Hey, tell me, this beautiful woman is really a disaster. What's the use of a beautiful woman? It only causes trouble for men..."

"If you're worried, just say you're worried. If you're afraid of trouble, why don't you marry a sow and go home?"

"That is, if you men are incompetent, you will blame us women."

"Go, go, the man is talking, what are you talking about, a bitch, go home and feed the child..."

"What's wrong, it's time to talk about your thoughts, useless man!"

Li Shishi snuggled up to Su Ping'an's side, his face was a little pale, with nervousness and worry in his expression.

Hearing someone say that her beauty is a disaster, she couldn't help but blame herself, and a trace of sadness appeared in her beautiful eyes.

She stood on tiptoe and whispered in Su Ping'an's ear: "Master Su, you must not fight this man, let's go back to the pawn shop."

Su Ping'an faced Sha Heng's provocation. Although he was angry in his heart, his face was as calm as water, without any ripples.

Seeing a hint of pleading in Li Shishi's beautiful eyes, he nodded, "Well, let's go this way."

Seeing that Su Ping'an was not provoked by him at all, Sha Heng became more and more annoyed.

Although he didn't dare to do it first, he was extremely unwilling in his heart. No matter which way Su Pingan went, he would block Su Pingan's way. Su Pingan felt that Sha Heng was like a follower who couldn't get rid of him.

He wished he could kick Sha Heng to death, a cold light flashed in his eyes, but he didn't say anything.

Seeing that Su Pingan was silent, Sha Heng was very proud. He blocked Su Ping'an's way, with contempt in his eyes, and shouted loudly: "It's not that easy to leave, Su Pingan, if you don't dare to accept Sha's offer today Challenge, you are a coward, so give the uncle three slaps and call three good grandpas, otherwise you will kill Sha with one sword."

"What's it called?" Su Pingan said lightly.

Sha Heng smiled triumphantly and said, "Call my good grandpa three times!"

A trace of sarcasm appeared on the corner of Su Pingan's mouth, and he responded, "Hey, good grandson."

The passers-by who were watching couldn't help laughing again.

"You...you..." Sha Heng was fooled by Su Ping'an again, but he knew how to retort, and was momentarily stunned.

Sha Heng was originally a naughty rascal, because his uncle was the prefect, he was even more domineering, he often molested good women, did not give money for food, and cheated children of candied haws. Word.

The passers-by who were onlookers had been bullied by Sha Heng, and they didn't dare to do it themselves. Of course, they hoped that Su Ping'an would give a sigh of relief for them, but they didn't dare to shout loudly, they only dared to hide aside and discuss novels.

"Lieutenant Su is really afraid of this sandstorm, right?"

"Of course, this Sha Heng is the prefect's nephew. It is normal for Colonel Su not to accept Sha Heng's challenge. After all, no one wants to get into trouble with this thorn for no reason."

"However, Sha Heng is pushing Captain Su everywhere. If Captain Su refuses to accept the challenge, wouldn't he have to endure the humiliation like Han Xin today, or draw his sword and kill Sha Heng?"

Seeing Su Ping'an's hesitant expression, Sha Heng became more proud, with a fierce look in his eyes, pointed at Su Ping'an and shouted loudly: "Su, you are a coward, a coward like you does not deserve to have Mr. Li! "

"Damn it, a soldier can be killed but not humiliated." Although Su Ping'an didn't want to cause trouble, he knew that life was precious, but he had his own bottom line, and he endured Sha Heng's insulting and making things difficult for him.

I can't bear it, I don't need to bear it anymore!
"Since you are anxious to seek death, Su will help you. Tomorrow at three o'clock in the unitary hour, outside the east gate, under the ancient vine tree, wash your neck and wait!"

After saying a word, Su Pingan took Li Shishi's fragrant shoulders and turned around to walk away. People immediately gave way, and the figures of the two gradually disappeared in the bustling market.

……

Pingyue pawnshop, backyard.

There was smoke billowing from the kitchen roof, and Su Jin'er was cooking in the kitchen, very busy.

In the main room, Su Ping'an and Li Shishi were sitting on the chairs beside the square table. On the table were three hot dishes, two goblets, and a jug of sake.

Li Shishi stood up, stretched out his jade hand to pick up the jug, filled the goblet in front of Su Ping'an's table with wine, and with a look of self-blame on his face, he said apologetically, "Mr. Su, it's all because of my poor health. Getting you into trouble like this... just like people say, a concubine is a troublesome woman..."

Speaking of this, a crystal teardrop slipped from the corner of his eye.

Su Pingan waved his hand, and comforted: "It's just the world's excuses, Miss Shishi, you don't have to worry about it."

Seeing that Su Ping'an didn't care, Li Shishi blamed himself even more, "...But, if it wasn't for the concubine, Mr. Su would not have provoked Sha Heng, nor would he accept his challenge... This is all concubine fault..."

Su Pingan drank a glass of wine, and said in high spirits: "Miss Shishi, you don't have to treat yourself like this. If I, Su Pingan, can't even protect the women around me, how can I stand in the world?"

Li Shishi bowed slightly to Su Ping'an, and was very moved in his heart. He sat beside Su Ping'an and said softly: "I thank Mr. Su, but my status is humble, and it's not worthy of you to do this for me. Tomorrow, Mr. Su You'd better not go."

Su Pingan picked up the chopsticks and stuffed a piece of fragrant fried mutton slices into his mouth. The mutton was tender, refreshing and chewy.

He chewed a couple of mouthfuls, staring at Li Shishi's beautiful eyes with a nonchalant expression, and said: "Miss Shishi, please rest assured, I will take care of myself."

Although Su Ping'an didn't care about competing with Sha Heng on the surface, he was not so relaxed in his heart.

After all, Sha Heng's attributes were comparable to his. Although he was a little more agile than Sha Heng, his strength was not as good as Sha Heng's. He didn't know Sha Heng's martial arts skills. Tomorrow's competition was a matter of life and death.
