The night is as deep as ink, and the late autumn is as cool as water, but it still can't diminish the enthusiasm of a few old friends who haven't been together for many years. The west-facing banquet hall of the Divine General's Mansion was still brightly lit, and it was not until the second watch that Zhao Lingyun and Zhao Qin'er planned to return to the palace, and the party dispersed. The big fat man of Wei Chi carried the little fat man who was already asleep and returned to his own mansion, while Jiang Chen was left in the Divine General's Mansion, so that he could practice with Yue Qianming tomorrow, and did not follow Zhao Qin'er back to Fengluo Garden, tomorrow is the beginning of Jiang Chen's formal practice.

On the seat back to the palace, Zhao Lingyun asked Zhao Qin'er: "Qin'er, did you really decide to let Jiang Chen take the road of martial arts?" Back then, you also saw Qianming's cultivation experience, which can be called nine deaths and a lifetime, and the suffering is even more unbearable, I know that you have been strong since you were a child, but Jiang Chen is your only child after all, can you bear it?"

Zhao Qin'er didn't know what to think of, and a trace of sadness leaked from her face, but she still said: "Big brother, there are some things you don't know, and I don't plan to say it." Although Jiang Chen is young, since he has decided to become a martial artist, I believe that he can persevere, and I also believe that the child born to me and Brother Ye is not a bad seed. ”

Zhao Lingyun had no choice but to keep silent, he knew that his sister's idea had been very stable since she was a child, and even if she was the eldest brother, she couldn't persuade her. Zhao Lingyun silently looked at his sister's face in her thirties, but her psychological age was not only in her thirties. Thinking of Zhao Qin'er when she came back, she couldn't help but feel a little distressed when she came back, and no matter how she asked her, she didn't say what happened, only the reason why she left, but she didn't say where she went. Zhao Lingyun couldn't help but wonder who Jiang Ye was, although he had also sent people to a nearby state capital to investigate, but there was no news about Jiang Ye. He would never have imagined that his sister would eventually go to the northernmost part of the continent, where she lived in a small remote tribe for more than ten years.

Jiang Ye, who was twenty years old at the time, traveled to the territory of Zhao Xin's country in Jiunao Prefecture and met nineteen-year-old Zhao Qin'er who ran out of Kyoto alone. Zhao Qin'er sent a crucial message to Zhao Lingyun, who was patrolling the border on behalf of his father in the south. At that time, Zhao Lingwu took the opportunity of Zhao Lingyun to go to the border, and transferred Yue Qianming and others out of the capital, preparing to sweep away the rest of Zhao Lingyun's forces in the imperial capital. But in the vicinity of Zhao Xin's country Jiudang Mountain, Zhao Lingwu sent a master intercepted and killed, at that time Zhao Qin'er had been seriously injured, unable to fight again, had to fight and flee, fortunately met Jiang Ye who was exploring in Jiudang Mountain at that time, Jiang Ye rescued it, and treated Zhao Qin'er's injuries. Due to the critical situation, Zhao Qin'er left without saying hello in the early morning of the second day, thinking that the two would not have any more intersections, but since then there has been a figure living in his heart, that figure is tall and mighty, and the figure is heroic. A year later, I didn't expect the two to meet again in Feng'an City, Zhao Qin'er did not reveal her identity, and during that time she took Jiang Ye to visit the places of interest in Feng'an City, and was also deeply moved by Jiang Ye's knowledge, kindness and chivalry. Seeing that the eldest brother has secured the position of the prince, he has no worries, and he doesn't want to become a royal political bargaining chip in the end, so he marries someone. resolutely decided to elope with Jiang Ye, and Zhao Qin'er's father was very angry with Zhao Xin's monarch at that time. After Zhao Qin'er left a letter to everyone and ran away, she and Jiang Ye traveled around the mainland for three years, until the Jiang tribe sent a message to Jiang Ye, and the old leader would return to heaven, and the two rushed back to the Jiang tribe. Then Jiang Ye inherited the position of leader, and Zhao Qin'er has been living in the Jiang tribe for more than ten years. Zhao Qin'er also likes the simple folk customs of the Jiang tribe, there is no deceit, only laughter, everyone always has a smile on their faces, as if nothing can make them sad, that is also Zhao Qin'er's happiest and happiest time. Until Jiang Chen's birth, it was originally the happiest moment in his life, but it also became the saddest moment in his life.

Zhao Lingyun looked at her sister who had fallen asleep by herself, and couldn't help but feel pity, since this girl came back, she hadn't been out of Fengluo Garden again, except for meditation and practice every day, she took care of Jiang Chen, and she had nothing else to do except talk to her occasionally. Since she came back, today is the day I have heard her laugh the most, and I don't seem to have laughed so loudly for a long time, as if I have returned to the time when everyone was young.

Zhao Lingyun moved her shoulders to Zhao Qin'er's side again, so that she could sleep more comfortably, until she arrived at the door of Fengluoyuan, she woke her up, and Xiangming helped Zhao Qin'er into Fengluoyuan. And Zhao Lingyun returned to the simple study, dealing with the rest of the government affairs, looking at those things that made people anxious, after thinking about it, he took a red pen and wrote instructions on the fold presented, and then picked up another book and continued, until the fourth watch, when the eunuch came forward to remind him that it was time to go to bed.

At the beginning, in order for himself and his sister to survive in this deep palace, he had to compete with Zhao Lingwu for the position of the king, but now it has become a responsibility on his shoulders, and he does not dare to relax in the slightest. The country of Zhao Xin is in the land of four wars, and it has been a thousand years since the founding of the country, and every monarch has tried his best to not dare to lose half an inch of the foundation left by his ancestors. And also because of the special geographical location of Zhao Xin's country, the trade is developed, and among the three countries of Jiunaozhou, the economic strength is higher than that of the other two countries. And the Zhao Xin clan also has the heart to unify Jiunao Prefecture, because in the past hundred years, the rest of the countries in the Dating Prefecture have been gradually swallowed up by the Mengyuan clan, and the national strength has increased greatly. In recent years, the temptation to explore the borders of the Western Regions has become more and more frequent. Therefore, Zhao Xin's country must complete the unification of Jiunao Prefecture, and finally unite the power of the state to resist the invasion of the Mengyuan clan, so the burden on Zhao Lingyun's shoulders is heavier, but he understands that he must not be reckless, and he is very careful in handling state affairs every day.

This Kyoto has been quiet, but there is also one person who, like Zhao Lingyun, has not fallen asleep. In a dimly lit study, Zhao Lingwu took a piece of information and looked at it again, which recorded what happened in the Divine General's Mansion today, and after reading it, a purple aura rose in his hand, burning the paper into ashes, and with a gentle blow, the ash fell to the ground. Zhao Lingwu stood up and stood in front of the window for a long time, he knew that there were more than one pair of eyes in this mansion staring at his every move, and the corners of his mouth smiled contemptuously, so what, look!

The next day, due to the excessive play yesterday, Jiang Chen woke up a little late, looking at the unfamiliar environment and a little confused, he got dressed and walked out of the door, already remembering that he was in the Divine General's Mansion. A small courtyard, the courtyard was planted with some ordinary flowers and trees, and the subordinates waiting outside the door saw him wake up, waited for him to wash up and have breakfast, and then said to him: "Little boy, please come with me, the general will let you go to him after breakfast." ”

Jiang Chen followed the servant through the main courtyard of the Divine General's Mansion, Jiang Chen looked left and right but didn't see Yue Wujing's figure, he should have gone to the Spirit Courtyard. The servant followed him to a secluded courtyard, with strangely shaped rockeries towering over the courtyard, and pavilions with small bridges and flowing water. The servant led him to the door of a pavilion and whispered outside the door, "General, Young Master Jiang is here." A deep voice came from the room and said, "You go down first, Jiang Chen come in." ”

The servant immediately turned around and walked out of the courtyard, Jiang Chen pushed the door in, and saw Yue Qianming sitting behind the desk, holding a book and reading, and he didn't look up when he heard the sound of the door opening. Jiang Chen looked at the cover of the book with the words "The Way of Military Exercise" written on the cover of the book, and saw that Yue Qianming had no intention of talking to himself, so he could only stand silently in front of the desk and did not dare to disturb Yue Qianming, and patiently waited for Yue Qianming to finish reading the book.

The room suddenly fell into silence, but Yue Qianming was hiding behind the book and carefully observing Jiang Chen's every move, only to see Jiang Chen's hands hanging down, his waist straight, his eyes calm and natural, without any superfluous movements, just calmly waiting for him to speak first, Yue Qianming couldn't help but nodded, it seems that this little guy has a good heart and is a little patient. And patience is the most basic quality of martial arts, because the early stage of martial arts is slow to advance, and the most hard-working, if you don't have enough patience and perseverance, it is impossible to persevere. After a full stick of incense, Yue Qianming put down the military book and asked with a smile: "Chen'er, I am still used to sleeping last night." Jiang Chen bent down and replied in a respectful tone, "Uncle Yue, good morning, nephew sleeps peacefully." ”

Yue Qianming changed his expression again and said, "I didn't get up until this hour, and I really slept peacefully." Regardless of Jiang Chen's reaction, he paused and said: "From now on, I will be your teacher, you will live in the house from now on, and you must get up four shifts every day, can you do it?" Jiang Chen bent down in a low voice and said more respectfully: "Teacher, you can do it." Yue Qianming replied coldly, "Okay", and said, "You come with me." ”

Took Jiang Chen out of the study, and then turned to a wide outdoor martial arts field, there are all kinds of blades placed on the east and west sides of the square, there is a stone carving in the south position, on which is engraved a big martial character, the only peculiar place is that there are a number of wooden stakes planted in the southwest direction of the martial arts field, and thin wooden beams are erected horizontally, there are high wooden planks that are erected, and the net formed by barbs is pulled very low, and there are wooden stakes placed on them, which mark the most important spiritual positions of the human body, and some of the most fragile and difficult to prevent body structure positions of the human body, as well as various stone locks from large to small。

Yue Qianming said: "I heard Xue'er's girl say that you have been able to make the "Five Elephant Refining Body" make a tiger roar, play it and let me take a look." Jiang Chen nodded, and walked towards the open space of the martial arts arena, but suddenly turned around and asked curiously: "Teacher, who is Xue'er?" Yue Qianming was stunned by Jiang Chen's question, and then said with a smile: "Xue'er, it's Wu Jing's girl." Then he immediately said with a straight face: "In the future, you should ask fewer questions that have nothing to do with cultivation, let's start!" Jiang Chen responded sullenly, walked to the vacant seat and stopped, put on a posture, and then punched out like the wind, and a low tiger roar came out......
