Prince Chongzhen

Chapter 42 Fight
Naturally, the two brothers did not see Xu Yinjue after returning home, but how could they restrain their young minds?
After several attempts, he finally found out that his elder brother was still in the city, so he went out of the city again.

Although these two are Xu Yinjue's brothers, their personalities are completely different from the Duke.

In the original history, Xu Yinjue may have intended to preserve his own bloodline, so he sent his two younger brothers out of Yingtian shortly after Hongguang escaped.

But to his surprise, his second brother died in battle on Chongming Island eight or nine years later, and his youngest brother even rose up in rebellion against the Qing Dynasty shortly after arriving in Wujiang, but was ultimately defeated and died.

This makes people feel that things are not going as planned.

Finally, when the two men saw Xu Yinjue on the city wall, the sun was already setting. However, before they could fully express their thoughts, they were scolded by their eldest brother.

"Nonsense! The battle is not a joke. Although your martial arts skills are decent, the battlefield cannot be controlled by your bravery!"

After a scolding, Xu Renjue just listened obediently, but the third brother stiffened his neck and said: "Every man has a share of responsibility for the fate of his country!"

Hearing this, Xu Yinjue unsheathed his knife and hit him directly: "I'll make you a common man! I'll make you responsible!"

"Ouch!" The third brother cried out in pain, but his body just endured it without any intention of dodging.

There were only three of them within the five generations of Weiguogong Mansion in this generation, and Xu Yinjue was much older than his two younger brothers, so although he was called the elder brother, he was actually no different from a father.

Although he was usually very tolerant towards his two younger brothers, he was ruthless when it came to punishing them.

After patting him a few times, Xu Yinjue felt a little depressed when he saw that the third brother did not ask for help or dodge like he usually did.

"Your niece is my only child. Are you trying to end my Xu family's inheritance?"

"The country is destroyed, what's the point of family inheritance?!"

The third son of the Xu family said this, and Xu Yinjue almost couldn't breathe properly.

Xu Yinjue had been trained as an heir since he was young. In his eyes, family inheritance was more important than anything else. But now he was nearly forty and still had no children, so he could only train the youngest son as his heir.

But now his only hope said such words, how could he accept it calmly.

Seeing the eldest brother being so angry at the younger brother, Xu Renjue, who was protecting the third brother, stepped over to the eldest brother and supported him, then turned around and said to the third brother: "Stop talking!"

The three Xu brothers were arguing loudly here, but Zhu Cilang, who was several feet away, could no longer pretend to be ignorant.

Only after he called a few people over did he understand the whole story.

"You two should listen to my elder brother's words. Go back and study hard and practice martial arts. In a few years, I will personally summon you to join the guard camp."

Honestly speaking, he was very supportive of the third son of the Xu family, but these two came from wealthy families and were probably not as powerful as Han Xin. There was no need to make Xu Yinjue unhappy because of them.

But who would have thought that the third son of the Xu family, whether he was stunned by those scabbards or was just spoiled, glared at Zhu Cilang and replied before he could finish his words: "Your Highness is about the same age as me. If Your Highness can go up to the city to kill the enemy, why can't I?!"

"When did I go up to the city to kill the enemy?"

"You were the one who repelled the Tartars' previous attack. Now the news has spread all over the city. Your Highness, do you still want to deceive people with lies?!"

"Evil creature! Shut up!"

Seeing that the third brother was getting more and more outrageous, Xu Yinjue was ready to give him a few more scabbards, but as soon as his hand touched his waist, he saw Zhu Cilang waving his hand.

"Don't be upset, Duke. It's good that your brother has the heart to serve his country," Zhu Cilang said to the angry third son of the Xu family after seeing him stop what he was doing, "but you are still a child and you lost your life in vain when you met the Tartars. Let's talk about it after a few years."

After saying this, Zhu Cilang prepared to turn around and leave.

As soon as he arrived at the camp in the north of the city today, he received the news that the Tartar scouts were found. He wanted to take advantage of the early morning to go to the camp to take a look, so he had no time to accompany Xu Yinjue to coax the baby. When Zhu Cilang had taken a few steps, he heard someone behind him shouting: "Your Highness! If I can defeat the warriors in the army, can you allow me to go up to the city?"

Zhu Cilang was about to ignore it, but then he realized that the voice was not from the third son of the Xu family. Out of curiosity, he turned around and saw Xu Renjue kneeling on one knee on the ground.

Wasn't it the third son of the Xu family who was clamoring to join the army? Why was the second son joining in the fun?

"Brother Xiang, go and try it."

Xu Renjue looked barely strong, but he was far inferior to Xiang Rensheng. It was obvious that Zhu Cilang was ready to put an end to the thoughts of these two guys once and for all.

"Second brother, I..."

The third son of the Xu family had just taken a step forward when he felt a huge force coming from behind him, and he began to retreat backwards along with this force.

"I'll go first."

The voices reached his ears, and then he saw Xu Renjue pounce on Rensheng like a tiger out of a cage.

The third child of the Xu family has been naughty since he was young, but he has always been controlled by his second brother. If one wants to find out the reason in detail, it can be summed up in three words: he can't be beaten.

"You're cheating!"

Although his voice was somewhat angry, his body still consciously leaned to the side.

Looking at this time, as Xu Renjue pounced, Xiang Rensheng also stomped on the ground and rushed over. It was obvious that neither of them had any intention of starting with a test.

The two did not know each other and naturally had never fought each other. The reason for this was simply that they looked down on each other.

In Xiang Rensheng's eyes, Xu Renjue was just a playboy. With his size and strength, he only needed to grab him by the collar and throw him aside.

In Xu Renjue's view, Xiang Rensheng was just a coolie, and he would be able to capture him easily with the martial arts he had honed over the years.

In a flash, the two men entered each other's attack range.

Xu Renjue ducked to avoid Xiang Rensheng's punch, but the other party reacted very quickly and hit him on the shoulder with his forearm.

At the same time, Xu Renjue pushed the ground with his legs, and then he hung his whole body on Xiang Rensheng's arms with his hands, and his knees in the air also pushed towards the opponent's chest and abdomen.

If this attack was successful, Xiang Rensheng would definitely be unable to fight back, but if he used his other hand to block, all his strength would be concentrated on the arm that was held by Xu Renjue.

In this way, the most vulnerable joints may be broken by this force.

In a flash, Xu Renjue was nervous, waiting for the other party to make a choice between the two.

Although he was ruthless, he would never hurt Xiang Rensheng too badly in front of His Highness.

But to Xu Renjue's surprise, Xiang Rensheng's empty hand attacked his throat from the gap between his arms, and his whole body fell to the ground due to the force transmitted from his arms.

"Oh!"

Xu Renjue fell heavily to the ground, with Xiang Rensheng's fist still pressing against his throat.

In a flash, one person fell to the ground and another was pinned down, but when everyone thought Xiang Rensheng had won the round, he took the initiative to stop.

"I lost."
