Chapter 118 It's clear they can't win.
Gu Qingfeng muttered to himself as he returned to the carriage.
When he saw Gu Qingfeng return to his carriage, he went back to Zhou Hanzhang's carriage and said to Zhou Hanzhang, "Young Master, I just arranged for my guards to scout out the road ahead, so this situation should not happen again."
Zhou Hanzhang hummed in agreement from inside the carriage, and then arranged for the remaining three carriages to depart.
Although they had streamlined things considerably, each of them still had their own carriage. They never planned to further reduce the number of carriages. After all, they wanted to take care of their own young master and there was no need to make him suffer for such a small matter.
When the time comes, we can just say we're visiting a wealthy young man from Jiangnan. It's not a difficult thing to do. The world is good now, and there are plenty of people traveling back and forth.
Lost in thought, Zhou Hanzhang fell asleep in the carriage, and in that sleep, he lost track of where he was.
She lifted the carriage curtain and looked out. Outside, everything was lush and green, the sunlight was just right, and it looked like a vibrant scene.
They came from the north, and they've only been here for a day, but the air is already damp.
It truly lives up to its reputation as a thoroughbred.
However, Zhou Hanzhang couldn't connect these scenes with any of the places in his memory. Moreover, the original owner had always lived in the capital and had never had the opportunity to travel far from home or seen these sights.
As soon as he saw Zhou Hanzhang's carriage curtain lifted, he immediately came to her side. "Young master, are you awake? Is there anything you need?"
Zhou Hanzhang, seeing that Shi Teng had arrived, asked, "What time is it now? Where are we?"
“It’s almost 1 p.m. I saw that the young master was sleeping soundly, so I didn’t come up to disturb him. I asked General Gu if we wanted to stop and rest for a while, and General Gu said that we were about to reach Ping’an Town, so we went directly to the town to have lunch.”
Zhou Hanzhang nodded, agreeing that He Shijian's arrangements were naturally the most appropriate. "How much longer until we reach Ping'an Town?"
"It should take less than half an hour to get there."
Zhou Hanzhang stopped talking. She tried to connect this Ping'an Town with modern places, but couldn't find a similar place in her mind. In the end, she simply gave up.
Let's call it Ping'an Town.
Sure enough, they arrived at their destination in about the time it takes to drink two cups of tea.
Before Zhou Hanzhang could even get out of the carriage, he heard Gu Qingfeng's voice, "Finally here! I've been suffocating! This carriage is comfortable, but I can't stand being here all day."
As soon as she got out of the car, she saw Gu Qingfeng start practicing boxing on the spot.
General Gu then came down and walked straight to Gu Qingfeng's side, sweeping him to the ground with a kick. "Who are you talking to?"
While howling on the ground, Gu Qingfeng said to General Gu, "Who can I blame but you? You've been sitting in the carriage all day. I was worried that your blood wouldn't circulate properly. Now that you're down, hurry up and move around a bit."
"Want to get some exercise? Then get up, let's spar a bit, father and son." General Gu didn't indulge him at all.
Gu Qingfeng rubbed his buttocks and got up. "No...no need. I just did a set of punches and I already feel a bit better. You can practice by yourself first."
He spotted Zhou Hanzhang getting off the carriage and pulled her close, saying, "You should practice with him. He's very skilled; he can probably hold his own against you for several dozen moves."
Upon hearing this, General Gu disregarded his son and walked straight up to Zhou Hanzhang, asking, "Shall we exchange a few blows?"
Zhou Hanzhang smiled and humbly declined, saying, "How could I possibly be a match for General Gu? My meager skills are no match for yours. Young Master Gu is exaggerating."
General Gu looked at Gu Qingfeng with suspicion. Gu Qingfeng quickly exclaimed, "Father, he's just being modest. I can exchange more than ten moves with you. He really can exchange dozens of moves with you. I'm not kidding. Last time, he threw me to the door with just one move. I'm not exaggerating at all!"
He was afraid his father would think he was lying and give him a beating, so he quickly explained.
General Gu glanced at Gu Qingfeng and Zhou Hanzhang a few times, then stared at Zhou Hanzhang and suddenly attacked her unexpectedly.
Zhou Hanzhang had been keeping a close eye on General Gu. She could tell from his eyes that he wanted to make a move against her, so she was always on guard. At this moment, General Gu's attack seemed to be unexpected, but she was prepared.
Just as General Gu made his move, Zhou Hanzhang dodged him in a flash.
General Gu pressed his advantage and attacked Zhou Hanzhang repeatedly. Although Zhou Hanzhang did not retaliate, General Gu could not even touch half a hem of her clothes.
After several dozen moves, General Gu realized that he still couldn't touch Zhou Hanzhang, so he stopped.
He reached out and wiped the sweat from his forehead. Seeing that Zhou Hanzhang still looked relaxed and showed no signs of sweat, he was somewhat alarmed.
"I didn't realize your kung fu was so good. Who is your teacher?"
Zhou Hanzhang originally intended to make up an excuse, just like before, saying that he learned the movement technique from a book. However, when he thought of Chen Moran's actions, he was also afraid that the father and son would pester him for the book, so he quickly dismissed the idea.
She smiled shyly, "I'm just good at dodging. When I was little, my father often took me out to play. He was often chased by people. I didn't learn much else from following him, but I was good at dodging."
Gu family father and son: ...
But just thinking about Zhou Huaide's temperament makes even a pig shake its head.
It's rare to find someone like Zhou Huaide with such a good son.
Zhou Hanzhang followed him everywhere when he was a child, but he never learned any of his shortcomings.
For some reason, General Gu suddenly felt a little envious.
"Zhou Huaide really has a good son..."
Gu Qingfeng was almost fooled by Zhou Hanzhang, but then he suddenly remembered that Zhou Hanzhang was not only good at dodging, but also incredibly skilled in attacking.
He looked at Zhou Hanzhang suspiciously and winked at her.
Zhou Hanzhang had no idea what he meant, and blinked in response.
Seeing her like this, Gu Qingfeng felt utterly hopeless. Well, the two of them had absolutely no chemistry.
After General Gu entered the inn first, Gu Qingfeng pulled Zhou Hanzhang aside and said excitedly, "I think you're more than capable of dodging my father. I think you can hold your own for a bit. It would be best if you could help me deal with him!"
Is this something a son should say?
Zhou Hanzhang was starting to doubt whether he was General Gu's biological son. How could a son like that be hoping someone else would beat his father up?
This is utterly upside down!
The father is the same; he feels the urge to beat his son every time he sees him, as if he's itching to do it.
“My dad beats me every day, and he only dares to lay a hand on me because he’s my elder…”
"Are you afraid to fight because of your elders? You clearly can't win!"
