People forge swords in Lizhu, childhood sweetheart Ruan Xiu falls in love with Ning Yao

Chapter 52: Zhu Family Father and Son, Chen Pingan vs. Zhu Lu
"The fish is hooked!"

Chu Ci, who had just put down the hook not long ago, was lucky enough to be the first to catch a fish. A grass carp weighing nearly ten kilograms was pulled up and landed on the ground, jumping around.

First of all, Qi Jingchun was wrong in the first point, because Chu Ci, who was familiar with the plot, already knew that he would come.

Second, why couldn’t the locust wood sword and the white dragon horse be a trap set by Chu Ci to lure Qi Jingchun into letting down his guard?
Third, it was also a factor that ultimately determined Qi Jingchun’s choice. Just as Chu Ci said, Qi Jingchun wanted to accompany the five of them for a longer journey and couldn’t bear to leave them.

The combination of these three factors caused Qi Jingchun to be plotted against by Chu Ci and fall into his trap.

However, compared to fishing, you have to reel in the rod immediately to prevent the fish from escaping. Once the fish is in the net, you don't have to be too anxious to reel in the net.

Chu Ci was still very kind and let Qi Jingchun accompany the five of them for a while, fulfilling their wish.

At the same time, it can also make Qi Jingchun relax his vigilance, so that he won't struggle too violently when closing the net, which might cause him to bump into something.

"Wow, Brother Xiaoci is so awesome!"

Li Baoping, who was collecting firewood, immediately dropped the firewood in his hand, ran over excitedly, and started fighting with the green carp.

"It will get your clothes dirty."

Chen Pingan pulled the rod and caught a fish of similar size, enough for lunch for five people.

Then he reeled in the rod and caught the fish.

Lin Shouyi set up a simple stove and started to make a fire.

"Brother-in-law, we have collected enough firewood."

Li Huai ran over to take credit.

"Give half to Baoping, the firewood that the two of them collected!"

Chu Ci took out a piece of chocolate and handed it to Li Huai.

"Ok!"

Li Huai took the chocolate excitedly and shared it with Li Baoping.

Chu Ci turned his eyes to the direction they came from and said calmly:

"I've been following you for quite some time. Do you really need me to invite you to come out?"

"what?"

Chu Ci's words startled the four people. Chen Pingan and Lin Shouyi quickly put down the work in their hands and became alert.

Li Baoping and Li Huai were so frightened that they shrank behind Chu Ci.

"Master Chu, calm down. My father and I did not mean to spy on you."

A middle-aged man and a young girl hurriedly walked out from the darkness.

Chu Ci is a disciple of Saint Ruan. If they don't come out after he has given the order, the ancestor will have nothing to say even if Chu Ci kills them.

"Uncle Zhu He, Sister Zhu Lu!"

When Li Baoping saw the two people coming out, he immediately called out their names, obviously they were acquaintances.

"Master Chu, my father and I came here to protect Miss Baoping under the order of our ancestor. The ancestor was afraid that we would disturb Master Chu, so he asked my father and I to hide in the dark. I hope you will forgive me."

Zhu He hurriedly explained to Chu Ci.

"I don't want anyone following behind me. You either fight back where you came from, or stay in the group."

Chu Ci indifferently gave the two a choice.

"My father and I are willing to stay!"

Zhu He responded quickly. They didn't dare to go back just after leaving the house until the young lady was sent to the academy.

"Since you are staying, you must abide by my rules."

Chu Ci was not surprised by the two people's choices, and continued:
"If I don't say anything, everything in the team will be subject to Chen Ping'an's arrangements."

"Why should I listen to him?"

Zhu He was unable to hold back as his daughter Zhu Lu beside him had already spoken.

There is no problem in following Chu Ci's arrangements, since Chu Ci is a disciple of Saint Ruan and has a noble status.

But Chu Ci asked Zhu Lu to listen to Chen Pingan, and she couldn't tolerate it because of her proud personality.

He's just a peasant from Niping Lane. Why does he give orders to me?
"Red Deer!"

Zhu He just reacted and glared at his daughter.

Before they left, the ancestor had repeatedly warned them not to offend Chu Ci and to obey Chu Ci in everything. In addition to Chu Ci's noble status, the ancestor also said that although Chu Ci was young, his strength was far superior to theirs, and in the past ten years, his hands were stained with the blood of many spies.

"Mr. Chu, my father and I are willing to obey your arrangement without any hesitation."

Under his father's persuasion, Zhu Lu could only shut up unwillingly.

"Ping An, go and show her what right you have to order them around."

Chu Ci ignored the father and daughter. He turned around, took the fish that Chen Pingan had prepared, and started cooking.

"Mr. Chu, there's really no need for that. My father and I really have no objections."

Unlike his daughter, Zhu He understands the ways of the world. If they fight, no matter they win or lose, both father and daughter will be offended by Chu Ci.

Besides, he didn't think his daughter had any chance of winning against Chen Ping'an.

"Don't worry, Brother Chu has never taken you seriously. Regardless of whether you win or lose, as long as you don't seek death in the future, Brother Chu won't bother with you."

Chen Pingan kindly explained to the father and daughter first, and then said:
"As for whether your daughter is convinced or not, you know better than me, so this fight must be fought. I also don't want any unstable factors to appear in the team."

Like Chu Ci, Chen Pingan knew very well when and how to do things.

If Zhu Lu is not convinced now, it will only lead to worse consequences in the future.

"Well, hit me if you want. You're making me sound like I'm afraid of you."

Zhu Lu, who was already unconvinced, could not stand Chen Ping'an's tone of wanting to teach him a lesson. He jumped out immediately.

"Ugh!"

Zhu He, who was completely unable to stop it, sighed helplessly upon seeing this!
"Are you ready?"

Chen Pingan gave a final reminder, to prevent Zhu Lu from blaming him for a sneak attack after losing, which would make him even more unconvinced.

"Come on, I'll let you punch first!"

Zhu Lu said disdainfully, "You're just a peasant, and you want to fight with me?"
But the next moment, she knew she regretted it.

"boom!"

Chen Pingan clenched his five fingers into a fist and took a step forward. Before Zhu Lu could react, his fist was already hitting her in the face.

In the original plot, Zhu Lu was no match for Chen Pingan.

What's more, with Chu Ci's intervention, the current Chen Pingan has reached the second level of martial arts, and is stronger than his counterparts in the original plot.

Zhu He's face turned pale when he saw this, and he quickly moved to stop it, but the next moment, a terrifying pressure enveloped him and pinned him to the spot.

The one who took action was naturally Chu Ci!
"you lose!"

At the last moment, Chen Ping'an's fist stopped in front of Zhu Lu's face.

"impossible!"

Zhu Lu found it hard to accept this reality, and punched Chen Pingan with his backhand.

"Snapped!"

Chen Pingan never let his guard down when facing an enemy. He used his other hand to transform into a palm and easily caught Zhu Lu's fist, which had become irrational and chaotic due to his loss of reason.

Then the fist that was hovering in front of Zhu Lu changed into a palm and slapped Zhu Lu on the shoulder.

For the sake of Li Baoping's face, Chen Pingan finally showed mercy.

"Tap..."

Zhu Lu was knocked back several steps and fell to the ground, looking extremely distraught.

He was actually defeated by a despised peasant, and was defeated without any chance of fighting back.

"Ugh!"

Seeing this, Zhu He, who had been freed, sighed again and had to go over to comfort his daughter.

Chen Pingan put away his fist and came back to make lunch with Chu Ci.

Soon the five people were eating the steaming fish soup.

It is in stark contrast to the Zhu family’s father and daughter!

Or maybe the Zhu father and daughter shouldn't have existed in the first place.
