With a loud bang, the two men's heads collided with each other.
Sun Lang didn't move at all.
The chair under Old Hu's butt collapsed with a boom. The enormous recoil caused Hu Shouxin to sit directly on the ground. Although his head was burning with pain and his mind was dizzy, he still gritted his teeth and sat on the ground. He raised his head to look at Sun Lang. Anger rose to his face as he gnashed his teeth and roared in a low voice, "Have you caused enough trouble yet?!"
Sun Lang shook his head and coldly said, "If you want to teach me how to be a good child, you'd better clamp your beak as soon as possible!"
Hu Shouxin was so angry that he laughed instead. Supporting himself with his hands, he jumped up and glared angrily at Sun Lang. "What, did I say something wrong?
The imperial envoy is one of our people. Everything is going according to plan. We only need to explain the situation and Miss Zhao won't worry. We only need to go through the motions and cooperate. There's no need for her to be alarmed. Everything is within our control. What are you making a ruckus for?! "
Sun Lang shouted, "I've said it before. He's one of your people, not mine!"
Old Hu roared angrily, "He's one of our people!
You're also on our side! "
Sun Lang roared, "F * ck off!
I can count the number of people I have on my two hands. Who the f * ck has the time to be an imperial envoy?
You found someone whose position is unclear and untrustworthy to investigate Miss Zhao and put her in an unknown danger. If you don't tell me one, two, three, four, four, today, that so-called imperial envoy can forget about entering Mingzhou alive! "
Hu Shouxin thought of everything that had happened before and became more and more angry. With Sun Lang causing such a ruckus, he had already become fire and water with Zhong Yi Tower in front of everyone's eyes. His good intentions over the past few months had all gone down the drain. Now, he was randomly causing trouble and spouting nonsense. How could he not be angry?
Today's events had completely ignited all of his dissatisfaction. Hu Shouxin's spittle flew everywhere as he roared, "How long are you going to be willful and naughty for?
You want to protect Miss Zhao, but at the same time, you don't want her to suffer any grievances. How can there be such a good thing in this world?! "
Sun Lang glanced at him coldly. "I've said it before. If you think it's difficult, you don't have to do it. I'll handle it myself. Is this your way of solving the problem?"
"You're going to deal with it personally?!"
It would have been better if he hadn't mentioned it. Now that he did, Hu Shouxin's fury burned even brighter. "What the f * ck do you know other than killing and killing?!
If martial arts could solve all problems, then the Emperor would have been the Wulin Supremacy a long time ago. Even if you could fight, what was the use?
That's right. You're strong. No one can kill you. No one can beat you. But how long do you want to keep killing?
The more you kill, the fewer people you have around you!
When you become invincible, all your friends will be gone!
If they don't die because of you, they'll leave you. Then what's the point of your life?
What's the meaning of the rest of your life? "
He took two deep breaths, feeling both wronged and angry. "You managed to survive, and now you want to go back?
You're not young anymore. It's time for you to be sensible!
I know you have resentment toward the Imperial Court. I know you still have hatred in your heart. But there are thousands of ways to take revenge. You just have to throw yourself into it!
I don't understand. You've made such a meritorious service. It's not difficult for you to become an official in the Imperial Court. With your reputation and ability, what's so difficult about becoming a powerful official?
You also know that those people are now first-rank officials. Even His Majesty is afraid of them. If you just obediently return to the Imperial Court, even if you become a powerful official, it'll be much better than what you're doing now! "
Sun Lang laughed. "You like being the Emperor's dog. I don't like it!"
"Then I'll live my life peacefully!" Hu Shouxin said angrily. "But what about you?
You don't want to be an official, and you don't want to live your life peacefully either. You do whatever you want to do. How old do you think you are?
Ah?
I've lived for more than forty years. I've already seen through it!
You're the same!
You can't escape either!
This world won't allow anyone to run amok. Even the Emperor shouldn't think about doing whatever he wants. You have to compromise, you have to follow the rules. The more you resist, the more painful the backlash will be!
You think that being able to fight can solve all problems?
Wrong!
You're gravely mistaken! "
He took a step forward and grabbed Sun Lang's collar. He shouted: "You want to kill the imperial envoy?
Attacking the imperial envoy's guards is a serious crime. You think the Imperial Court will let this go?
Yes, you're powerful. No matter how many people the Imperial Court sends, they won't be able to kill you. But what about Young Miss Zhao?
What about Zhang Yinluo?
They're together with you. What if you implicate them?
Even if your methods are heaven-defying and you have a way to protect them, what about their families?
If the Zhang family or Marquis Jingan fu isn't careful and gets implicated by your matter, not to mention having their property confiscated and punished, even if a few people die, how will Zhang Yinluo and Young Miss Zhao view you in the future?
Will they still be able to laugh?
Taking ten thousand steps back, you can bring them to roam the world. The Zhang family and Marquis Jingan fu also have ways to protect themselves. But if they're forced to be separated from their families and leave their homes, will they feel good?
Will you have a clear conscience? "
Sun Lang's gaze changed. His voice was indifferent: "This is your goal."
"Ah, that's right."
Hu Shouxin's voice also became cold, "These are all things that martial arts can't solve. I can't solve them, and you can't solve them either.
When I was young, I wanted to be a great general. I wanted to protect the country, punish evil, and bring justice to the court. I felt that nothing could stop me. As long as I fought bravely, I would have everything. Right now, aren't I still accompanying my wife and child in Mingzhou?
Things that can't be moved, things that can't be killed. Living in this world, there will be fetters. This is a fate that no one can escape or avoid … … "
He looked into Sun Lang's eyes, pausing between each word as he said: "The so-called big picture is important, the so-called long days ahead, the so-called thinking about the people you love, this is the way of the world … … A hidden plot that dripping water can penetrate stone is harder to defend against than a sword on the surface."
Sun Lang gave a low laugh: "Could it be that you never thought about what would happen if these things couldn't tie me down?"
"It means that the hatred in your heart is beyond my imagination. It means that the thing that I don't want to see the most has happened in the Great Desolate Mountain. It means that the whole world is your target of revenge …" Hu Shouxin took a deep breath, and determination appeared on his face. "This world has been ravaged by war for decades. We have lost too many brothers and fellow soldiers. Too many people have sacrificed their lives for the prosperity and peace today. Sun Lang, I don't care who you hate, and I don't care how many people you hate, but if you want the world to burn again, the peace that countless people have sacrificed their lives for, and the fire of war reignited in this country, then …"
He said with difficulty and determination, "Then, you will be my enemy!"
Sun Lang's expression was calm as he slowly said, "This is the so-called 'big picture'. The peace of one side of the world, the tranquility of the entire nation, the countless sacrifices and sufferings, the hard-won peace of the four seas … these prices, these beautiful things, these fruits of blood, in comparison, the sufferings and injustice of an innocent person are completely insignificant — this is what you all think."
"No one has the right to make you, who comes from another world, sacrifice and pay for us … …" Hu Shouxin gritted his teeth and said, "But we have to do this!"
Sun Lang said coldly, "Then you should prepare to bear the price of peace and victory!"
Hu Shouxin shouted, "Then you should kill me first!"
Sun Lang pushed Hu Shouxin's hand aside and grabbed his collar. He said coldly, "Do you think I won't kill you?"
Hu Shouxin continued to stare into Sun Lang's eyes and chuckled. "No, you won't. You haven't made up your mind yet. Your heart is still kind. You can't bear to part with the little girl of the Zhang family. You can't bear to see my wife and children cry. You don't want to face the disappointed and desperate eyes of your former comrades. You can't bear to fight with them. You won't, no, you don't dare. You're always just saying it. You're always scaring people. You've always been all bark and no bite. You're just like a child who has been wronged, holding up a vase and making a gesture of wanting to smash it, then shouting and screaming, wanting the whole world to know your grievances. But you're just putting on an act.
He grinned and smiled. "If you smash it, you'll feel good. Then, you'll be finished … …"
Sun Lang flew into a rage and sent a palm strike towards Hu Shouxin's head. This palm strike was filled with anger and was absolutely merciless. Even if Hu Shouxin defended with all his strength and countered with a palm strike, his arms and the top of his head would still be shattered into pieces, let alone now when he was caught off guard.
Seeing that Old Hu was about to die, Sun Lang suddenly saw a trace of disappointment and relief in the other party's eyes. His heart moved, and he couldn't care about anything else. He stretched out his leg, and his right leg arrived first. He kicked Old Hu in the chest, and directly sent him flying, crashing heavily into the wall behind the study.
With a muffled sound, the horizontal wooden carving on the wall immediately shattered to pieces. Spiderweb-Like cracks spread out and the roof trembled slightly. This kick was also merciless. Old Hu fell to the ground weakly with his body bent like a shrimp. For a long time, he didn't have the strength to move. He could only suck in cold air and digest this unpleasant feeling.
Sun Lang's angry palm strike struck empty air. His chest also slightly stagnated, and his blood and Qi surged. However, he was still much stronger than Old Hu. He only needed to adjust his breathing a little, and then he was fine.
He shook his wrist and thought about what had just happened. Although he was angry, he still had some lingering fear. With this thought, he still couldn't vent his anger. He stepped forward and kicked Old Hu twice. He cursed, "F * ck your mother, you bastard. You f * cking tricked me again. You want to be a martyr?
You want to deliberately provoke me to attack, die by my hands, and then say your last words?
You f * cking bastard. I'm not a f * cking idiot. How could I fall for your trick a second time? "
These two kicks were also not light. Old Hu was kicked until he grimaced, but he still heard the key words. "A second time?"
"What does it have to do with you!" Sun Lang kicked him again. "F * ck!
My wife is pregnant!
How old is your daughter?
You're willing to die!
You dare to use this rotten life of yours to plot against me!
Do you believe that once you die, I'll go back and grab your daughter and throw her into the cellar. From the seventh to the seventh, and then on holidays and birthdays in the future, I'll take her to see you every few days and f * ck her on your grave?! "
"F * ck your ancestors!"
These words ignited the explosive in Old Hu's heart. He didn't know where this guy got the strength from, but he suddenly jumped up and swung his fist at Sun Lang like a mad tiger. "You dare bully my daughter!
I'll skin you alive!
You f * cking little bastard!
You really are up to no good! "
But after all, he had just been kicked a few times. Although he had the courage to control his daughter, he still didn't meet the basic rules of exploding in the middle of a battle. He was still swept away by Sun Lang's sudden kick.
Sun Lang took advantage of the situation and sat on Hu Shouxin's body. He slapped his face twice and laughed wildly. "Good!
I almost forgot that there's this trick. If you f * cking dare to meddle in my business again, don't let me see your daughter on her way to the girls' school! "
Old Hu mustered up his divine strength and threw Sun Lang to the side. He flipped over and pressed Sun Lang down. His two fists, which were as big as vinegar bowls, clenched into a hammer and smashed towards Sun Lang's forehead. "You can wait for her on the road to the underworld!
She'll be here in a hundred years! "
Sun Lang tilted his head to the side and punched Old Hu's forehead with his right hand. Then, he grabbed Hu Shouxin's hair with his left hand and slammed him to the ground beside him. "Bastard, you can't even handle your own mess, and you dare to meddle in my business?!
You want to tie me down, right?
You want to corrupt me with sugar-coated bullets, right?
You can't bear to part with your daughter, so you want to trap a pervert like me?
Today, I'll tell you that I f * cking have my eyes on your daughter!
Didn't you say that for the sake of world peace, you wouldn't hesitate to sacrifice innocent people?
I don't want your life!
I just want your daughter!
Are you going to give it to me or not?! "
Hu Shouxin was furious at first. Then he seemed to have thought of something and hesitated. "Are you serious?
If you can promise to treat my daughter sincerely … "
"Be your mother!" Sun Lang immediately shouted. "Look at you, how good can your daughter be?
If she's ugly, short, flat, and poor, she can't even be a foot washing maid. How can she be my eightieth concubine? "
Old Hu was furious. He stretched out his hand to strangle Sun Lang's neck. As a result, he was kicked aside by Sun Lang. The two cursed and wrestled together. The entire study room was like a giant beast passing through. It was a mess. Although vulgarities, punches and kicks were flying, and beatings and insults were juxtaposed, the hostile and cold atmosphere from before had unknowingly dissipated a lot.
After fighting for a while, the two were tired and lay on the ground, panting heavily. Hu Shouxin bared his teeth and rubbed his back. "You little bastard, you still don't know how to control your strength …"
Sun Lang also took advantage of the chaos to get hit a few times. He rubbed his shoulder and said resentfully, "I'll let you go this time, stupid idiot. I'll say the ugly words first. If this imperial envoy thing is messed up, I'll personally twist his head off!"
Hu Shouxin let out a long breath and said indifferently, "You won't. He's also an acquaintance of yours."
Sun Lang said coldly, "I have a lot of acquaintances — I'm also quite familiar with the Sky Demon."
He stood up and wanted to leave. Hu Shouxin was still lying on the ground. He hesitated for a moment and shouted, "Sun Lang … why do you have such a big grudge against the imperial court? Is it … is it, at the Great Desolate Mountain …"
Sun Lang didn't turn around and shrugged. "Oh, at that time, after the battle, I threw my sword and ran. It's nothing."
Then he pushed open the door and left.
Hu Shouxin lay on the ground. After a while, he covered his face.
"You little bastard, you don't even want to lie in detail …"
