Water Margin: You dog official, you still say you don’t know martial arts?

Chapter 868 Hu Sanniang: Staff Officer Huang is really good at what he does! [Update 2]

At the banquet, Hu Sanniang came to toast Liu Gao confidently:

"Your Highness, I offer you a bowl!"

Liu Gao smiled: "Okay, I'll have a bowl with you!"

After drinking a bowl of wine, Liu Gao asked Hu Sanniang:
"What sword technique did you use today?"

Hu Sanniang's eyes and eyebrows were filled with a little pride:
"This is the Guan Wang Sword Technique that my master taught me!
"Master said that I have a talent for swordsmanship. Whether it is double swords or broadswords, I can achieve something!"

"Guan Wang's Sword Skills"?
Liu Gao had an idea and patted Hu Sanniang's shoulders twice with the goose feather fan, then turned and left.

Hu Sanniang was confused and subconsciously asked Lu Zhishen who was sitting next to Liu Gao:

"Brother, why did the official hit me?"

Ah this...

Lu Zhishen scratched his bald head with his rolling-pin-like fingers:
"Brother may blame you for not participating in the martial arts competition..."

Hu Sanniang's face turned pale: "Why did the gentleman turn around and leave after beating me?"

Ah this...

Lu Zhishen combed his bald head until it was sparkling:
"Maybe Big Brother doesn't want to see you again..."

What a bolt from the blue!

Hu Sanniang's eyes went dark and she almost fell down.

Fortunately, Hu Sanniang’s intelligence has improved now, and she feels that Lu Zhishen’s translation is unreliable.

After all, when she defeated Shan Shiqi, Liu Gao took the lead in applauding her. How could he blame her?

Besides, her long legs are unique. Doesn’t Liu Gao want to see her again before he has played with them?

Is it in this river?

Knowing that her sworn brother was a straight man, Hu Sanniang decided to find a smart person to ask again.

The place where Liu Gao had the most intelligent people was the newly established Military Affairs Council.

The current members of the Grand Council include Gongsun Sheng, Yue Fei, Zong Ze, Wen Huanzhang, Huang Wenbing, and Zhu Wu.

Among them, Hu Sanniang has the closest relationship with her two brothers-in-law Gongsun Sheng and Yue Fei.

But Gongsun Sheng was a cultivator and Yue Fei was just a child, so there was no way to ask.

Zong Ze is an old man, Wen Huanzhang is not interested in women, and Zhu Wu is new and they are not familiar with each other.

Only Huang Wenbing is said to be very good with women.

So Hu Sanniang went to ask Huang Wenbing:
"Staff Officer Huang, blah blah blah, why?"

Huang Wenbing's eyes rolled around:
"Sister-in-law, in my opinion, His Highness is asking you out!"

Hu Sanniang was stunned: "Is it true?"

Huang Wenbing analyzed to Hu Sanniang:
“When His Highness asks you out, the key points are time and place.

"It should be the time when His Highness hits you twice with his goose feather fan. Two times...most likely it will be the second watch tonight.

“His Highness turned and left, with his back to you… He must be referring to the back door of the palace.

"If I'm not mistaken, His Highness has asked my sister-in-law to meet him through the back door of the palace at the second watch tonight!"

"I see!"

Hu Sanniang thought Huang Wenbing's words made sense:

"Thank you, Staff Officer Huang!"

"Why are you so polite?"

Huang Wenbing stroked his goatee and smiled:

"I'm still waiting to attend your wedding."

Hu Sanniang left the table happily early. Since she had a date in the evening, she certainly couldn't eat or drink too much.

After Hu Sanniang left, Liu Gao came back and asked Lu Zhishen when he didn't see Hu Sanniang:
"Where's Sanniang?"

Lu Zhishen: "That's wrong!"

Huang Wenbing came over to show off his achievements and happened to hear Liu Gao and Lu Zhishen say:
"I have something to tell Sanniang. I suddenly had a stomachache just now, so I had to go to the toilet first.

"Where did Sanniang go?"

Huang Wenbing blinked his eyes: "Your Highness, General Hu asked me to bring you a message..."

Liu Gao was startled: "What are you talking about?"

Huang Wenbing quickly opened his folding fan to cover his mouth and whispered to Liu Gao:
"General Hu has arranged to meet Your Highness at the second watch tonight.

"When she comes in through the back door of the palace, Your Highness, please remember to leave the door open for her..."

Liu Gao: “Hmm…”

……

In a corner of the banquet, Zhou Tong held up "The Historian's Spearmanship" and burst into tears:

"It's a pity for Wen Gong..." Yue Fei, who had handed the "Shi Jia Jing Shu" to Zhou Tong, comforted him helplessly:

"Daddy, I'm so sad..."

If you don't kill him, you hate him.

Kill him, you feel sorry for him.

Yue Fei was also drunk: My life is so difficult!
"Weng Gong's book on spearmanship is very good and insightful. It draws on the strengths of many schools and is the culmination of all the knowledge in the world..."

Zhou Tong looked through it carefully and handed it to Yue Fei:

"This is your trophy, take it."

"what?"

Yue Fei declined, "Dad, this is not good..."

"Nothing wrong."

Zhou Tong gave Yue Fei the "Shi Jia Jing Shu" (The Spearmanship of the Historian):

"You have learned and accomplished something, and it can be considered as eliminating his karma."

Zhou Tong said so, and Yue Fei took over:

"Dad, I will study with my brothers."

Zhou Tong nodded.

After Yue Fei left, Zhou Tong picked up a full bowl of wine and drank it all with tears.

……

Second watch.

Hu Sanniang groped her way to the back door of the palace in the dark.

The door was indeed ajar, and it opened when Hu Sanniang pushed it.

Hu Sanniang slipped in and closed the door. After taking a few steps, she heard a katydid chirping above her head.

Hu Sanniang was stunned: Why are katydids chirping in the sky?

Also, where do the katydids come from in the middle of winter?
Hu Sanniang subconsciously looked up and saw a figure sitting on the roof.

With feather fan and blue scarf, he looks handsome and heroic!
The moonlight outlined his angular features, so beautiful that he looked like an immortal!

"Official?"

Hu Sanniang waved happily to Liu Gao:
Staff Officer Huang really has his own way!
Liu Gao waved to her: "Come up!"

Hu Sanniang took two steps back, accelerated her sprint, and leaped up!

Kick the wall and use the momentum to do a double jump!
"boom--"

The sound of Hu Sanniang landing on the roof was earth-shaking. Liu Gao's mouth twitched twice secretly:
"careful!"

Fortunately, I had told them in advance not to let anyone come through the back door, otherwise Hu Sanniang would have caused another chaos.

Hu Sanniang's face turned red. Liu Gao pulled her to sit down and she abruptly shifted her gaze:
"Sir, look at this moon, it's so big and round!"

Liu Gao couldn't help but say, "Look at this roof, it's so long and wide?"

Hu Sanniang was stunned: "Huh?"

"nothing."

Liu Gao just picked up the joke out of habit:

"Sanniang, do you want to talk to me?"

Hu Sanniang was stunned again: "Didn't you ask me out?"

"I asked you out?"

Liu Gao frowned: "How did you know I asked you out?"

Hu Sanniang blinked her big eyes: "Master, didn't you pat me three times, then turned your back and walked away..."

The corners of Liu Gao's mouth twitched twice secretly:

"Who translated this for you?"

Hu Sanniang blushed: "No one, I guessed it myself!"

You are really smart!
Liu Gao was also drunk: "Don't listen to people's nonsense, I was in a hurry to go to the toilet.

"But I do have something to tell you—

"Sanniang, do you remember the first sword fight between Sixth Brother and Ninth Brother today?"

Hu Sanniang: "Of course I remember!
"I have never seen such a domineering sword strike. I didn't expect that Ninth Brother would take it..."

"I passed this sword to my sixth brother."

Liu Gao smiled and waved his goose feather fan: "Do you want to learn?"

Hu Sanniang's eyes lit up: "Sir, I want it!"
