Chapter 66: The so-called martial arts

A sword cut off the arm-thick stake, looking at Li Jing's weightless appearance, it was like he didn't use much force. However, I am afraid that I can't do it with just an ordinary adult.

Sword after sword swing out, Li Chengqian's hands were completely numb.

It can be seen that the goal set by Li Jing for him is definitely at the graduation level. When he can cut this stake with a sword without the help of external force, I am afraid that he has already reached the level of being a teacher. As for thigh-thick stakes? I'm afraid it's impossible to use a knife.

looked at Li Chengqian gritting his teeth and trying again and again. Li Jing nodded with satisfaction. As the prince's martial arts teacher, I am afraid that the most feared thing is the prince's resistance.

As the prince, except for the emperor and empress, no one else has the qualifications to teach him directly. And although he is the Duke of Weiguo, if the prince resists, he will have nothing to do.

However, the prince is obviously the hard-working material. His sons Li Dejian and Li Dexian, wielding swords, still need him to force them at first. But the prince, without persecution, can persist in practicing.

(A reader reminded me that Li Jing's younger brother had become a son, and I quickly rechecked it, only to realize that I had made this mistake.) When the author codes, if he is impressed or impressed, he will not bother to check the information, so it is inevitable that he will make mistakes. However, the author will change it immediately after the reader corrects it. )

You can teach! What the predecessors in this world can achieve, as long as the future generations are willing to struggle, they will definitely be able to achieve. What I am afraid of is a person who is discouraged and gives up halfway after one or two setbacks, even if such a person is extremely talented, he is doomed to achieve nothing.

It wasn't until the morning sun rose that Li Chengqian finished his morning exercise because his two arms were so sore that he couldn't lift his sword.

There are many traces on that stake, and every mark is proof of Li Chengqian's all-out efforts.

The guards stepped forward to take the sword in Li Chengqian's hand and helped him back to the barracks for breakfast.

At a time when it is common to have two meals a day in the whole world, the military camp led by the prince can be said to be able to eat three times a day, which can be said to be a supreme enjoyment.

After breakfast, the soldiers began training again. After Li Jing divided the team for them, they didn't need Yu Tai to supervise them, and they started to compare themselves. Only competition can arouse everyone's self-motivation.

"This is what the training in the barracks looks like, in addition to the physical exercise, the practice of weapons such as horizontal knives can be presided over by Yutai, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should return to Chang'an as soon as possible."

After seeing the training scenes of these soldiers with his own eyes, Li Jing already had an estimate in his heart. The training in the barracks is boring, and instead of wasting time in the barracks, it is better to let these soldiers train on their own. When some results are achieved, it is not too late to train them to cooperate in the battle formation.

Li Chengqian nodded and decided to go back to Chang'an today. Although the East Palace is depressed and boring, at this stage, with his age and identity, he can only live in it honestly.

After breakfast, the prince drove away from the barracks. There is nothing to do in the barracks here, but the old gentleman's schoolwork has been going on for several days.

After returning to the East Palace, not only Li Chengqian had to attend classes, but Li Tai and Li Ke also became the old man's students.

is used to teaching Li Chengqian, and Li Gang is particularly unaccustomed to the two new students, Li Tai and Li Ke.

It is also an ancient text, and Li Chengqian only needs him to explain it a little roughly, so that he can understand it and even put forward his own opinions. But Li Tai and Li Ke always have to break the truth, and they have to have Li Chengqian to explain it on the side before they can learn.

To be reasonable, Li Tai and Li Ke are not stupid, and Kong Yingda has praised them more than once for their cleverness. However, in front of the bright child in front of the gifted child, the gap is manifested.

Thanks to Li Tai and Li Ke's "blessing", the old gentleman finally realized the anxiety of being a teacher again.

After returning to the East Palace, Li Chengqian lived an institutional life.

It's just that every morning, it becomes Li Jing who is in charge of training him.

Li Jing still had no intention of interfering, and every day he sat on the side and watched Li Chengqian swing his sword and cut the wooden stake, until he was exhausted.

has been cutting wooden stakes with a sword, and he can still hold on for a day or two, but after a long time, Li Chengqian has lost his patience.

The sword has been changed three times because of the curling edge, but the stake is still the same stake, except that the traces are much deeper, there is no change.

Thanks to that centimeter-deep mark, it is now more difficult to swing the sword than before.

By the time a trace of one centimeter turned into two centimeters, the autumn days were already gone, and the weather was noticeably colder.

In the early morning when it was only a few degrees Celsius, although Li Chengqian was wearing a shirt, he was still covered in heat, which was the sweat on his body.

One day as usual, after Li Chengqian couldn't even pick up the sword, Li Jing nodded and prepared to go home.

"Gong Wei, I've already used three swords, what are you asking me to do this for!"

Seeing that Li Jing was about to leave without saying a word, Li Chengqian could only stop him.

Cutting off the stake with a sword, it was obvious that it was not at all something he could do at this stage.

With such a boring workout every day, at least there must be a reason to stick to it.

Li Jing, who was about to leave, heard Li Chengqian's voice and walked back with a smile.

In fact, two months ago, he was already waiting for Li Chengqian to ask questions. Two months late, it was unbelievable to him.

Picking up a wooden stick, Li Jing pointed at Li Chengqian and said, "Take out the sword." ”

Li Chengqian was stunned, then took a deep breath and swung a sword with the little strength he had just accumulated.

Facing Li Chengqian's sword, Li Jing quickly slapped his stick on the sword. His strength was so great that Li Chengqian felt like a sword slashing at a boulder, and the originally numb arm actually felt painful.

Looking at Li Chengqian, who was retreating again and again, Li Jing smiled: "How do you feel?" ”

How does it feel? Li Chengqian was a little confused.

Throwing away the stick, Li Jing said leisurely: "In fact, whether you use a sword or a knife, the first thing you need to learn is not what moves, but to hold the weapon tightly." When two people fight, if the weapon in one person's hand is shaken off, wouldn't it be directly divided into winners and losers? The feeling of holding a sword cannot be taught, and it can only be figured out by the person holding the weapon. Under the counterattack of Wei Chen, he can still hold on to his weapons, this is what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has gained in the past two months. ”

I see!

Looking at his hand holding the sword, Li Chengqian felt a little proud in his heart.

Walking to the side of the wooden stake and touching the two-centimeter-deep marks on it, Li Jing smiled and said, "Actually, there are no moves to speak of with a sword at all. Different from the sword that opens and closes widely, the sword needs to be light and agile, when His Highness can slash every sword on this trace, then when facing the enemy, he can also accurately hit the target. Even if the enemy is wearing armor, His Highness's sword can hurt his limbs or throat through the cracks in the armor. ”

"This is martial arts?"

Li Jing agreed: "That's right, this is martial arts." In fact, ordinary people still magicalize martial arts. When two people fight, it's all about strength, speed, endurance, and experience. And isn't this being strengthened every day by His Highness? ”
