Very quickly, Qin Zhao felt it was difficult to parry during the fight.
She was forced to the edge of the platform and almost fell off!
Qin Zhao dodged to the other side, urgently adjusted her breathing rhythm to avoid losing her strength too quickly.
Even so, she still felt very tired.
"General Huo is really formidable!" Qin Zhao complimented.
Hearing Qin Zhao call out "General Huo", the crowd immediately became agitated!
Huo Chengjin's prestige was like thunder, but not everyone had seen his true appearance.
Especially men, who might worship him as an idol, but didn't necessarily recognize him.
Among the people present, some recognized him but didn't dare to speak out, after all it wasn't glorious to be seen in a brothel.
Someone plucked up the courage and shouted, "General Huo is valiant!"
Seeing this, the others followed suit and shouted enthusiastically.
Facing the crowd's cheers, Huo Chengjin put on a confident smile, looking at Qin Zhao's expression, he became somewhat more arrogant.
Like a peacock spreading its tail.
Qin Zhao smiled politely, but was actually taking the chance to rest!
Huo Chengjin noticed her breathing gradually becoming steady, and realized he had fallen into her trap!
He immediately resumed his attack on Qin Zhao, attempting to end the fight in one blow!
But when he aggressively approached Qin Zhao, he suddenly felt weak, and the abundant strength he originally had largely dissipated!
Qin Zhao easily caught his fist, and to the disbelief of the crowd, flipped Huo Chengjin onto the ground!
The crowd stood up together!
Eyes wide open, afraid to miss Huo Chengjin's counterattack.
But things did not unfold as they had anticipated!
Qin Zhao bent her knees and knelt on Huo Chengjin's abdomen, pressing down the still struggling him.
Her fists rained down like hail, targeting vulnerable and painful places like his armpits and waist.
After all, Huo Chengjin was the General Who Pacifies the West, bearing the responsibility of defending the State of Yue.
Before finding someone to replace him, it wouldn't be good to let him lose too much face in front of the common people.
So she didn't hit his face, leaving him some dignity.
Qin Su also quickly realized they couldn't let Huo Chengjin lose his prestige in front of the masses, so he gestured to the guards beside him.
receiving the order, the guards immediately jumped onto the platform from the second floor, shouting, "This guy is cheating!"
And swarmed in front of Qin Zhao and Huo Chengjin!
Before they could restrain her, Qin Zhao got up and stepped back, shouting loudly, "Don't wrongly accuse people without evidence!"
The audience was unwilling to believe Huo Chengjin would lose, and unanimously agreed with the guards' words.
They criticized Qin Zhao in a cacophony of voices.
Huo Chengjin was helped up by the guards. He endured the pain all over his body and pushed them away. Bowing to Qin Zhao, he said, "I willingly admit defeat."
When these words came out, the crowd could no longer speak blindly.
And Huo Chengjin's generous attitude also regained him some face.
Qin Zhao returned the courtesy and said, "You let me win."
Under the envious, jealous and hateful heated gazes, she stepped down from the stage.
The proprietress announced on stage, "The top three winners of this martial arts contest are Zhang Kui, Xiao Xuwên, and General Huo!"
That was the burly man, the man in gray, and Huo Chengjin. Qin Zhao was not included.
Although surprised at this result, when the crowd looked at Qin Zhao, their eyes were full of schadenfreude.
They really disliked Qin Zhao, the one who had embarrassed General Huo.
502 was indignant for Qin Zhao: "Host, how could this be? Is that proprietress targeting you?
Not making it to the second round means you won't get to see the courtesan, so all your efforts today were in vain!"
Qin Zhao: "Calm down."
The proprietress explained, "The winner is determined by the time spent standing on the stage.
That young gentleman stayed for too short a time, so this is the result.
Please understand everyone. If you feel it's unfair, we will make some adjustments next time."
But the crowd shouted, "No, we are very satisfied!"
"Just like this, very good!"
"Some people should have exited early!"
Qin Zhao was too lazy to listen to the noise from these people. She turned and walked to the door, casually throwing the fan back to its owner.
Huo Chengjin watched Qin Zhao's receding figure and called out, "Young Master, please wait. You can have my seat!"
Qin Zhao waved her hand. "No need."
Although Huo Chengjin knew she wouldn't accept his offer, hearing her refusal still made him somewhat disappointed.
He didn't know why, but even though the princess had pressed him to the ground and beat him just now, his fondness for her had become even clearer!
After leaving the Spring Breeze Tower, Qin Zhao found a seat in the teahouse across the street.
502 was extremely depressed and kept grumbling in Qin Zhao's mind space, forcing her to scold it again before it settled down.
502 asked, "Host, how did you beat the male lead in the end? I didn't understand that last move."
Qin Zhao: "Poison and medicine come from the same source, I have no reason not to use the skills I've learned."
502: "So they didn't wrongly accuse you."
"That's right. All is fair in war, General Huo should understand that principle."
The second round of literary battle had three rounds, continuing late into the night.
Unexpectedly, the winner was not Huo Chengjin the male lead, but that man in gray called Xiao Xuwên.
It seemed his name was well chosen, he had some literary skills.
After Xiao Xuwên's victory, the proprietress led him up to the seventh floor where Nangong Ling lived.
She pointed to the innermost room and said, "The innermost room is Miss Nangong's boudoir. Go on yourself."
Xiao Xuwên suppressed his excitement and nodded, stuffing 100 taels of silver bills into the proprietress's arms, saying, "Thank you proprietress."
The proprietress smiled with mouth wide open holding the silver bills and walked away twisting her wasp waist.
The corridor was hung with pink lanterns. Xiao Xuwên looked at his shadow as he approached Nangong Ling's room step by step.
All kinds of tantalizing scenes were already playing in his mind.
Suddenly, a shadow flashed!
He felt a pain in the back of his head and everything went black as he fell to the ground...
Qin Zhao coldly looked at the man lying on the ground like a dead pig, and said, "This is the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind."
She opened the door to her left, and kicked the man in.
Only Qin Zhao was left in the corridor. She quickened her pace and came to Nangong Ling's door.
Knocking lightly, a voice as melodious as a forest spring came from inside, "Come in."
Qin Zhao pushed open the door. What met her eyes were layers of light blue gauze.
Nangong Ling was deep inside this spacious room.
Qin Zhao stepped in and closed the door casually.
Nangong Ling's voice sounded again, "May I ask how to address you, Young Master?"
As Qin Zhao walked nearer, she replied, "Qin Zhao."
Nangong Ling immediately discerned that the voice came from a woman and said, "So you are a lady."
"Is there a rule that women cannot come to brothels, or does Miss Nangong dislike serving women?"
By the time she finished speaking, Qin Zhao had passed through the gauze and come before Nangong Ling.
Even after seeing countless beauties, one would still be moved by such a peerless visage.
Qin Zhao began to wonder, who was the beauty ceiling of this world, Su Luo or Nangong Ling?
After thinking it over, she could only put both on equal standing.
Nangong Ling smilingly replied, "I'm certainly willing to serve women. Or rather, I'm even more willing to serve women."
She reached out and pulled Qin Zhao forward!
Qin Zhao had wanted to dodge, but found her movements extremely fast. Before she could react, she was pulled into Nangong Ling's embrace!
Before Qin Zhao could enjoy being hugged by the beauty for long, she felt something cold and hard pressing into her waist!
Nangong Ling's voice was still charming, "I can serve women who obtained victory fairly and aboveboard, but I cannot cater to a woman like you who snatched another's place."
Very quickly, Qin Zhao felt it was difficult to parry during the fight.
She was forced to the edge of the platform and almost fell off!
Qin Zhao dodged to the other side, urgently adjusted her breathing rhythm to avoid losing her strength too quickly.
Even so, she still felt very tired.
