Chapter 1496

When Duke Ning recalled the black rope that had suddenly wrapped around his wrist, he couldn't help but admire Gu Qingze even more.

"He likes to sit in a chair because he doesn't know martial arts. However, he is more skilled than most people who know martial arts. Do you think that your mediocre martial arts can beat him? If you don't accept it, you can compete with him another day and see who is stronger. "

Zhao Rong Junzhu was unconvinced and said, "Father, you are boosting his ambition and diminishing your daughter's prestige. Your daughter has learned martial arts for three whole years. Your daughter doesn't believe that I can't beat that country bumpkin who doesn't know martial arts!"

"Okay, if you don't believe me, then you can go and compete with him. But let me say the ugly words first. If you lose to him, you have to marry him!" Duke Ning stared at Zhao Rong Junzhu and said.

"Okay, it's a deal! Father, if your daughter wins, then you can't force me to marry that country bumpkin. Promise me first that you will find a way for me to marry cousin! "Zhao Rong Junzhu rolled her eyes and smiled through her tears.

She had complete confidence in her heart that she could absolutely beat Gu Qingze into a sorry state.

"It's a deal!" Duke Ning extended his hand and lightly clapped his daughter's palm three times.

He also had a confident smile on his face. He believed that Gu Qingze would not lose to his daughter.

"This is the medicine that Godly Doctor Gu left for you. Quickly take it. If you want to win, you have to cure your illness." He took the medicine bottle from Zhao Rong's hand and stuffed it back into her hand.

Zhao Rong Junzhu nodded her head and said, "Father, if your daughter takes this medicine, then I won't have to eat that disgusting snakeskin and that bitter goldthread anymore, right?"

She ate snake skin and goldthread for two days in a row. The goldthread was so bitter that she couldn't even open her mouth. The snake skin had a fishy, smelly, and salty smell that made her want to vomit. It was really hard to swallow and she had to pinch her nose and force it down every time.

"Of course," Duke Ning said.

Zhao Rong Junzhu immediately smiled from ear to ear. She uncorked the bottle and poured out a white pill. She first brought it to her nose and sniffed it. Not only was it not fishy or smelly, but it also carried a faint sweet smell. Only then did she relax and put it in her mouth and swallow it.

"Father, just because he gave me this bottle of medicine, I will not let him lose so badly." She giggled.

"Don't be too confident. It is still unknown who will win. If you lose, I will have a genius doctor son-in-law." Duke Ning stroked his beard and smiled.

Zhao Rong Junzhu stomped her feet and pushed Duke Ning out of the room. She angrily said, "It's getting late. Father, you should go back to sleep. I will go find him tomorrow morning and compete with him. At that time, I will let you see my skills. Hmph, I will beat him until he begs for mercy!"

She had already decided that she would win no matter what and would not. She wouldn't marry that country bumpkin.

Duke Ning faintly smiled and didn't say anything more. He walked out with his hands behind his back.

Zhao Rong Junzhu waited until Duke Ning's figure completely disappeared from her sight before she closed the door. She walked to the wall where a landscape painting was hanging. She lifted the paper and revealed a secret door on the wall.

She pushed hard on the secret door, and it slowly opened, revealing a secret passage and a flight of stairs that led to the underground.

Zhao Rong Junzhu took a candle stand and walked down the stairs.
