Zhang San, please behave yourself!
Chapter 710 - 650: One Punch, One Little Toad!

Chapter 710: Chapter 650: One Punch, One Little Toad!

When Cui Wenjun heard the words "peach blossom," his eyes lit up.

Previously, the elders of the Cui Family had told him that the Crown Prince intended to make him the Imperial Son-in-law.

This delighted Cui Wenjun so much that he hadn’t slept well for several nights, all because of this matter.

The Crown Prince extended his hand towards the street outside the window.

"Cui Wenjun, look!"

Cui Wenjun immediately stood up and ran to the window to look outside.

This one glance made the thousands of mountains and rivers pale in comparison to a single-minded devotion, and perhaps the worldly splendor was just fleeting.

This lady should only belong in the heavens; why then has she descended to the mortal world tonight?

Cui Wenjun was dumbfounded.

Petite, adorable, with a smile blooming like flowers.

Having studied for twenty years, he now found himself at a loss for words to describe the charming and slightly playful girl below.

"Uncle... uncle... this... that... ahem... pardon me, I... I..."

It was the first time the Crown Prince saw a man lose his composure so completely upon seeing a woman.

Although Princess Qionghua had recently succeeded in losing weight and indeed looked much more beautiful than before, did you really need to stammer?

"Cui Wenjun, this is my own sister, the beloved pearl of my father the Emperor and mother the Empress, Princess Qionghua. Look, she’s right there below, all by herself. You know what to do, I need not say more."

Cui Wenjun nodded repeatedly and turned to run outside the private room.

He even tripped over his ankle by the table in his rush, fell to the ground, then got up and continued to charge outside.

The Crown Prince stood by the window, looking down.

If he could facilitate this match, not only would it definitely strengthen his ties with the Cui Family, but it would also provide an opportunity to suppress Wang Junwu.

The Crown Prince knew that Wang Junwu was originally a martial artist of the Town Martial Office, and also the sworn fifth brother of Zhang San.

If Zhang San’s sworn brother became the Imperial Son-in-law, that would be greatly detrimental to himself.

By now, Cui Wenjun had already left the tavern.

He tidied up his appearance, then walked over to Princess Qionghua with a smile.

"Beautiful lady, on such a fine day, it seems a waste to sit here alone. I have a manor outside the town, and if we go now, not only could you taste the osmanthus wine brewed by the servants in my home, but you could also enjoy the sunset scenery. What do you say?"

Princess Qionghua glanced at this man who had suddenly appeared before her and frowned slightly.

Seeing Princess Qionghua’s expression, Cui Wenjun immediately realized he might have been too rash and explained with a smile, "Miss, please do not misunderstand. I am a member of the Cui Family of Qinghe Cui, one of the Five Surnames and Seven Families, not some villain."

With the backing of the Cui Family, Cui Wenjun usually had no trouble wooing the ladies.

However, in the next moment, Cui Wenjun felt as if the Princess Qionghua in his sight seemed to have shrunk.

No, it was he who had grown taller.

No, that wasn’t right either; it seemed as though someone had grabbed him by the back of his neck and lifted him up.

Just as Cui Wenjun was about to get angry, a voice full of might from a man resounded behind him.

"Qiong, do you know this man?"

"I do not," Qiong answered very straightforwardly.

Hearing this, Wang Junwu promptly set the man he held aside, hoping that he would take the hint not to disturb his time with Qiong.

However, the released Cui Wenjun merely assumed that the tall, dark, strong man who had appeared behind him was Princess Qionghua’s bodyguard. He completely failed to realize that this man was the General Star of Jin River, recently appointed by Kaihuang as the Distant Army Marquis.

Meanwhile, the Crown Prince standing behind the second-floor window of the tavern couldn’t help but widen his eyes.

How could it be Wang Junwu!?

How was he together with Princess Qionghua?

Impossible!

This was absolutely impossible!

To the Crown Prince, Wang Junwu, a rugged soldier, couldn’t possibly have any means to know Princess Qionghua.

Let alone the sweet looks they were giving each other at this moment.

That was the look of deep affection the Crown Princess Consort had when she looked at him recently.

That was the one-of-a-kind indulgent look he gave to Concubine Yun.

Why!?

Why was it so?

Meanwhile, the still clueless Cui Wenjun roared angrily, "Do you know who I am to dare show such disrespect to me?"

Cui Wenjun yelled at Wang Junwu.

However, both Wang Junwu and Princess Qionghua glanced at each other, not even bothering to look directly at him, and then turned to leave.

After all, it was not easy for Princess Qionghua to leave the palace, and Wang Junwu anticipated he would have to return to Jin River soon, so naturally, they wanted to spend time together while they could.

And at that moment, Princess Qionghua habitually hooked her arm through Wang Junwu’s, causing Cui Wenjun, who was already full of anger, to instantly lose his composure.

"You... you... what are you doing? Don’t you know that Kaihuang intended to betroth Princess Qionghua to me?"

At that moment, in Cui Wenjun’s eyes, this Wang Junwu was nothing but an ugly steward that Princess Qionghua had found for herself.

Wang Junwu frowned slightly, glancing at Princess Qionghua beside him.

He had not heard of this situation before.

Wasn’t the betrothal supposed to be to me?

What does it have to do with you?

At that time, Princess Qionghua sensed that things were going awry.

Clearly, this man was probably the Cui Wenjun from the Cui Family that the Crown Prince had mentioned today.

She had rejected him at the time, and this guy probably didn’t know yet and was even dreaming about becoming the Imperial Son-in-law.

"I don’t know you, and my father will not betroth me to you. Hopeless fool, give up already."

At that moment, Cui Wenjun was inexplicably enraged.

It was the first time in many years that someone had called him a hopeless fool!

Who was he? The prominent eldest grandson of the Qinghe Cui Clan, the future pillar of the Cui Family, and even a central pillar of the Great Sui.

To be called a hopeless fool!

Unforgivable!

Even if she was a princess, she couldn’t insult me like this!

However, just as an infuriated Cui Wenjun was about to demand an explanation from Princess Qionghua, he was stopped by Wang Junwu, who then flung him away with a flick of his arm.

At the same time, just as Cui Wenjun was heavily thrown to the ground, members of the Cui Family who had come to pick him up had just arrived nearby.

Just as they arrived, they saw their young master being flung to the ground with one arm.

Of course, in their eyes, it looked like a fling, even though to Wang Junwu, it was merely a flick of his robe, not taking a single cloud with him.

The next moment, many of the Cui Family’s martial artists rushed towards Wang Junwu.

Wang Junwu looked at these people and understood that this fool who had just shot his mouth off was no ordinary fool.

Since Kaihuang had never agreed to his and Princess Qionghua’s affair,

why not settle the matter today?

After all, he and Princess Qionghua were truly in love.

Thus, Wang Junwu shielded Princess Qionghua behind him, then faced the rushing martial artists with a punch.

With a loud bang,

the martial artists fell to the ground, one by one, silenced by his punch.

As successive martial artists from the Cui Family were killed by Wang Junwu’s hammering, chaos ensued in the surroundings in an instant.

Meanwhile, Cui Wenjun, being helped up by the Cui Family’s martial artists, was completely terrified upon seeing this scene.

At this time, the Crown Prince in the restaurant upstairs realized the situation was bad.

Since neither party knew the other’s true identity, he had to go down and intervene.

However, as the Crown Prince reached the entrance of the restaurant and was about to step out, he noticed that Wang Junwu had already moved against Cui Wenjun.

"Wait! Stop!"

Bang!

Wang Junwu heard it, but he felt that at that moment, he shouldn’t have.

Thus, Wang Junwu’s punch landed on Cui Wenjun’s chest.

Although Cui Wenjun had also trained from a young age, he had spent more time studying and learning, rather than training.

His training was merely to maintain good health.

But unfortunately, without enough strength, no matter how many books one reads, a punch to the chest still results in a collapse.

With a thud—

Cui Wenjun lay on the ground, his chest caved in, just as the Crown Prince stepped out of the restaurant, feeling completely overwhelmed.

At that moment, Wang Junwu turned his head to look at the Crown Prince nearby.

Seeing the look in the Crown Prince’s eyes, although Wang Junwu could not be completely sure, he had figured out quite a bit of the truth.

Thus, Wang Junwu immediately kneeled on one knee towards the Crown Prince in the middle of the street, calling out loudly in front of all the spectators nearby,

"I, Wang Junwu, Distant Army Marquis, pay my respects to the Crown Prince."

"This madman dared to commit violence in broad daylight, attacking Princess Qionghua. I just defended Your Highness and executed these violent madmen on the spot. How would you like to deal with the remaining accomplices, Crown Prince?"

At this moment, the Crown Prince looked at the Cui Family’s carriage and Cui Wenjun, who lay dying on the ground with eyes wide open, feeling everything spinning around him.
