Chapter Four, Qiao Luo Cheng.
I ? "Wu Anfu was surprised. Who is Luo Cheng? In the Sui and Tang dynasties, he was the best spearman. I'm afraid no one can match him except his brother Jiang Song and Jiang Yongnian. Although I have some skills, I dare not challenge him. I hurriedly said, "I am not your match, Young Houye." Luo Cheng raised his eyebrows and said, "I have heard people from Beiping Prefecture praise your Twin Snake technique to the skies. If it weren't for you almost drowning, I would have wanted to test myself against you and see if my Five Hook Divine Flying Spear is more powerful than your Twin Snake. Is your body still not fully recovered?" Wu Anfu thought to himself, "Even if I am fully recovered, I still wouldn't dare to fight you. You are notorious for killing without blinking. If I were to be stabbed to death by you, it would be unjust." But then he thought again that Luo Cheng had a fondness for martial arts. He hurriedly said, "I am not your match, Young Houye."

If I were to be stabbed to death by you, it would be unjust." But then he thought again that Luo Cheng had a fondness for martial arts. If he could establish a good relationship with him through this, it might not be impossible. He hesitated for a moment, but Wu Xi was quick-witted and said, "Young Houye, our young master's body has not fully recovered. Should we discuss this in a few days?" "It's none of your business." Luo Cheng glared at him, scaring Wu Xi into shrinking his head and retreating to the side.

Luo Cheng glared at him, scaring Wu Xi into shrinking his head and retreating to the side.
Wu Anfu and Fu Ping have always sparred with the martial arts masters. The martial arts masters were hindered by his status as a young general and did not dare to use their full strength. However, Luo Cheng was not polite. His spear thrust was fierce, with several killing moves hidden within. Wu Anfu could see clearly and used his spear to block Luo Cheng's spear, removing most of its force. Luo Cheng borrowed the force and changed his spear's direction, sweeping it diagonally. Wu Anfu stepped back, blocking and picking, and the two fought fiercely. Wu Xi and Wu Le were initially worried that Wu Anfu would be at a disadvantage, but after watching several rounds of the two's exquisite moves, they couldn't help but applaud.
Not long after, they arrived at the Wang Mansion. The layout and decoration here were more luxurious and solemn than the Marshal's Mansion of the Wu family. The two entered the mansion and walked through several long corridors, arriving at the martial arts hall of the Wang Mansion. Compared to the bustling scene of martial artists practicing every day at the Wu family, it was much more shabby here. Apart from a servant wiping the weapons, there was no one else. It seemed that Luo Cheng's martial arts skills were too high, and ordinary martial artists would not even be worth a glance.
You go ahead and choose a weapon first," Luo Cheng said, pointing to the weapon rack. Wu Anfu stepped forward and pulled out a snake-headed spear, shaking it a bit. Although it was not as comfortable to hold as the spear at home, it was still a well-crafted weapon. Luo Cheng also took out a large spear, walked to the center of the hall, and shook it in a flashy manner, saying, "Come on." Wu Anfu reluctantly walked to the opposite side, clasped his hands and said, "I apologize for any offense." "Enough with the nonsense," Luo Cheng didn't bother with formalities either. With a swing of his large spear, he launched a straight thrust. Luo Cheng also took out a large spear, walked to the center of the hall, and shook it in a flashy manner, saying, "Come on."

With a swing of his large spear, he launched a straight thrust.
"Lord Hou?" Wu Anfu's heart skipped a beat, immediately recognizing that the handsome young man in front of him was none other than Luo Cheng, the most ruthless and cunning dandy in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. In Beiping Prefecture, there was only one prince, and that was Luo Yi. Naturally, "Lord Hou" referred to Luo Cheng. Seeing that it was Luo Cheng, Wu Anfu dared not be negligent and respectfully greeted, "Greetings, Young Lord Hou." Luo Cheng was taken aback, dismounted from his horse, walked up to Wu Anfu, and scrutinized him up and down, teasing, "I heard that you hit your head while drowning. It turns out to be true." Wu Anfu didn't understand Luo Cheng's meaning, so he could only smile foolishly, but in his heart, he thought that it seemed that Luo Cheng, this kid, was not easy to deal with, just as the storytelling had said.
After more than two months of not seeing each other, Wu Anfu, who had just recovered from a serious illness, not only became much healthier, but also did not show any fear towards himself as before. This made Luo Cheng unhappy, and he sarcastically said, "It seems that you, Shao Shuai, have made some progress in martial arts by hiding at home recently, otherwise why didn't you avoid me, your lord?" Wu Anfu thought to himself that Luo Cheng was not an easy person to get along with. The relationship between the two families was not only a matter of life and death, but also involved hidden struggles. Now every word he said was provocative. He suppressed his anger and said, "If there is nothing else, I will leave first, Young Lord." "Wait," Luo Cheng stopped Wu Anfu who was about to leave.
Why haven't fools like you drowned? If you die, the common people in Beiping Prefecture will definitely set off firecrackers for three days to celebrate," Luo Cheng lazily said, and these disrespectful and sharp words made Wu Anfu roll his eyes in anger. In this life and the previous one, he had never heard such a poisonous remark as Luo Cheng's.
Luocheng didn't ride a horse this time. He walked on the street with Wu Anfu side by side, chatting casually. When people on the street saw the two archenemies walking together, they pointed and whispered, feeling quite strange. Wu Xi rushed to shout at them, "Our young master Wu is going to chat with the lord at the Wang's mansion. What are you looking at?" Upon hearing this, Wu Anfu secretly praised Wu Xi's wit. Everyone knew that they were going to the Wang's mansion, and even if Luocheng was heavy-handed, he wouldn't dare to do anything to them, otherwise it would sound bad.

Luocheng had long intended to trouble Wu'anfu. He often heard people say that Wu'anfu was the third best fighter in Beiping Prefecture, after his father Luo Yi and himself. Luocheng felt disdainful and made up his mind to undermine his prestige. Now, after waiting for a long time, Luocheng finally had the opportunity to test Wu'anfu's strength. After a few moves, Luocheng thought to himself that this guy is not just bragging. He indeed has some skills, although not as good as his own, but still quite impressive. With such a good opponent, Luocheng's intention to humiliate Wu'anfu diminished by half, and he wanted to truly compete with him. Therefore, he became even more excited, each strike faster than the previous one, his big spear dancing like a dragon coming out of the water, extremely domineering.
I can accompany the lord to play a few rounds, but weapons have no eyes, I'm afraid...
Since that's the case, then I shall respectfully obey. Wu Anfu was originally a competitive person, and when he encountered Luo Cheng, who was eager to stir up trouble, he also became determined. This competition cannot be avoided. It may be a blessing or a disaster, but if I don't get stabbed to death, I will go through even the most dangerous situations.
Lo Cheng was happy with his performance, but Wu Anfu was miserable. Wu's martial arts were not as good as Lo's, and after just a dozen moves, he was already struggling. He thought to himself that the power of the Lo family's spear was truly not to be underestimated, and if he could learn a few moves, it would be great. After twenty rounds, Lo Cheng became more and more aggressive, with every spear thrust carrying a killing intent. Wu Anfu dodged left and right, but Lo Cheng's spear always seemed to be aimed at his throat. Seeing that he was about to be hit by the spear, Wu Anfu thought to himself, "Lo Cheng, you bastard, you really want to kill me." If he was stabbed in the throat, he would surely die a miserable death. He had to think of a way out quickly. Wu Anfu continued to dodge, but Lo Cheng's spear always seemed to be aimed at his throat.

If he was stabbed in the throat, he would surely die a miserable death. He had to think of a way out quickly. He made up his mind and feigned a spear thrust, avoiding Lo Cheng's attack, then jumped back and rolled on the ground, throwing his spear and saying, "I lost." Lo Cheng really wanted to stab Wu Anfu with his spear, but seeing that Wu had lost face by rolling on the ground and throwing his spear and books, he didn't feel like continuing the fight. He threw his spear and said, "Forget it, it's not worth it." Wu Anfu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Lo Cheng didn't want to continue fighting. He had been a gangster for a long time and knew that he had to save his life in order to seek revenge, drink and chase women. Anyone who cared about their face had long since become a spiritual tablet in the gang. Wu Anfu was never a fool, so he treated face as if it didn't exist.

Just compare, why are you being so naggy? Are you not a man and a husband?
However, Luo Cheng is someone who must not be offended. If you still want to live well, it is right to establish a relationship with him. Wu Anfu understands this: "Young Master Hou is mocking me. In the past, it was my fault for not being sensible and offending others. I hope Young Master Hou can forgive me." Luo Cheng has a hot temper, arrogant personality, strong martial arts skills, and the title of Young Master Hou. He often looks down on others. The relationship between the Luo family and the Wu family is very delicate. Luo Yi and the Wu brothers appear to be friendly on the surface, but secretly hope for each other's death. Therefore, Luo Cheng especially despises and resents Wu Anfu. Wu Anfu understands this: "Young Master Hou is mocking me. In the past, it was my fault for not being sensible and offending others.

Therefore, Luo Cheng especially despises and resents Wu Anfu. In his eyes, Wu Anfu is as skinny as a monkey, with an unsightly appearance and improper behavior. He has done many bad things relying on the power of his father and uncle. Apart from his martial arts skills, he has no redeeming qualities. Wu Anfu used to be arrogant and domineering, but in Beiping Prefecture, there is probably only Luo Cheng who can match him, firstly because Luo Cheng is Young Master Hou.

Wu Anfu used to be arrogant and domineering, but in Beiping Prefecture, there is probably only Luo Cheng who can match him, firstly because Luo Cheng is Young Master Hou. In terms of family background and social status, Luo Cheng is higher than him. Secondly, Luo Cheng's martial arts skills are extremely strong, and Wu Anfu is no match for him. Whenever he sees Luo Cheng, he acts like a mouse encountering a cat, sneaking along the wall. The more this happens, the more Luo Cheng likes to provoke Wu Anfu, and the two of them frequently clash in Beiping Prefecture.
Do you have any other orders, Young Master Hou? Wu Anfu was both angry and frustrated in his heart. Although he had some skills, he was still somewhat afraid of Luo Cheng. He probably couldn't beat him in a fight, but Wu Anfu was unwilling to act submissive. He didn't know what tricks Luo Cheng was playing, so he raised his head and asked back.
The young marquis's marksmanship is truly extraordinary, unmatched in the world today. Wuan Fudao's words were half flattery and half genuine respect. In his previous life, he quite liked Luo Cheng when listening to storytelling, thinking that this young man's martial arts were extremely fierce, ruthless, and unfeeling, qualities that the underworld needed to admire and learn from. Now, upon personal contact, he knew that the stories were not exaggerated, and his words of admiration were sincere. In the past, when Luo Cheng and Wuan Fudao met, it was either mocking or humiliating, with no resistance from Wuan Fudao, who was seen as a true playboy and a sycophant. Unexpectedly, Wuan Fudao, despite being cunning and tricky, appeared much more amiable than before, which gradually lessened Luo Cheng's resentment. When he heard Wuan Fudao's praise, he felt pleased and said, "Young commander, you are being too polite. Being able to spar with me for over twenty moves already makes you a master." Wuan Fudao was so infuriated that his nose almost twisted. He wondered if this was a compliment or an insult. If one day he fell into his hands, he would make him regret it. Thinking about using the methods from the prison to deal with Luo Cheng, he felt secretly pleased, at least winning a psychological victory over him.
I see that your body has almost recovered. I have been practicing a new set of gun techniques these days. Would you like to play with me? - Luo Chengdao.
