Duan Zhong had a headache because his emperor Lao Tzu had found a teacher for himself. The things taught are heavy, but they have to pretend to know nothing and be diligent and studious. And this teacher likes himself very much, it turns out that he only enters the palace once every five or six days, and when he is over three years old, he can't wait to enter the palace every day, so he only sleeps with Duan Chong.

However, Duan Zhong was a person who respected teachers in his previous life, although his grades have always been poor...... Since this teacher likes himself so much, he should respect him a little. After all, his brother doesn't have this treatment. Of course, it is also necessary to show some of the child's nature, such as ...... Apply some ink to the teacher's gray beard. This is something that Duan Chong dared to think about but did not dare to do in his previous life. Of course, Duan Zhong also hates this teacher very much, such as greatly reducing the time he spends with Su'er.

Duan Chong learned to run after he was three years old, and the entire palace naturally became a place for Duan Chong to play, and Duan Chong's favorite place to go was his Lao Tzu's study, the imperial study. Because not only is it a big place, there are a lot of books, but it is also ...... There are also many books that you can't see anywhere else.

For example, a book of swords.

The sword spectrum of the Duan family.

This is the sword book hidden in the secret compartment under the dragon chair of his emperor Lao Tzu. It is hidden very carefully, and the armrest of the dragon chair needs to be twisted to open. In this world, except for his emperor Lao Tzu, I am afraid that Duan Chong relied on his youth and Emperor Lao Tzu's defenselessness against him, so Duan Chong was able to find this book in the imperial study when he was in the court to discuss with the minister. Because his emperor Lao Tzu has ordered, in this imperial study, Duan Zhong can enter and exit at will.

The Duan family started with a sword. It is said that the founding emperor of Dali was a great sword saint, who conquered with his amazing swordsmanship, and it can also be said that he subdued the white and Yi people, which created an immortal feat and established the Dali country.

Therefore, the Duan family's sword is very powerful.

Ranked second in the world.

As for the first sword...... On the sea to the east.

So the sword on this continent, the Duan family ranks first.

Of course, the Duan family does not have the legendary six-vein divine sword, and Dali does not have a yang finger, because that is just Jin Yong's obscenity.

The sword of the Duan family is a sword used to kill people.

And to practice swords, of course, you must practice internal strength. Therefore, Duan Zhong copied a copy of the internal force cultivation method supporting the sword technique from the imperial study, carefully hid it in his room, and practiced for a while when he was free to sleep. So Su'er was very surprised to find that our little master has been sleeping more and more recently.

As for the swordsmanship in the book, of course Duan Chong didn't dare to practice it, because although the Duan family was heavy with swords, everyone had to learn swords, but this emperor Laozi's swordsmanship was not an ordinary swordsmanship, this was the emperor's swordsmanship.

Someone in the Duan family is destined to be the emperor, and this set of swordsmanship can only be learned after becoming an emperor, and Duan Chong is practicing it now, which is the sin of cutting off his head, and the prince has no room for return. This is the rule laid down by our ancestors.

Therefore, Duan Zhong didn't dare to practice blatantly, so he could only sneak around, and his progress was extremely slow. However, the mental method is still practiced all the time, and the effect is also obvious. At least, Duan Chong's strength, in two or three months, I am afraid that it has increased by more than five or six times.

And during this period, Duan Zhong also understood a lot of things...... For example, why did his brother's mother, who is also Concubine Zhuang's mother, cast jealous eyes when she was born.

His own Laozi Zhengkang Emperor can be regarded as a virtuous king, although there are many concubines, but compared with the two emperors of Liang State, there are naturally too many less. And Zhengkang, who is nearly half a hundred years old, only has two sons, one is Duan Zhuang, and the other is Duan Chong.

It's just that the biological mother of the eldest prince Duan Zhuang, Concubine Zhuang, was not from a good background, and was originally just a maid in the palace, because she was the first to conceive a dragon son, her status gradually increased, and now she has the style of the master of the harem.

But Duan Chong's mother is different, she is the princess of the former Liang Kingdom, and now the sister of the Southern Liang and Northern Liang Emperors, who is committed to marrying the emperor of Dali State, is a dignified and upright concubine of Dali. In terms of background, Concubine Zhuang is naturally incomparable.

Originally, Concubine Zhuang was the first to give birth to a dragon son, and her status in the palace improved a lot, but where did she think that it was not good to conceive a dragon son after three years, but it was the princess of Liang Kingdom, and Concubine Zhuang naturally felt threatened.

As the saying goes, mothers are more precious than children, and after Duan Chong was born, the status of the eldest prince and crown prince was threatened. Although Emperor Zheng Kang has not yet been established, once it is established, the two mothers who gave birth to a dragon son, Concubine Zhuang naturally cannot be compared with Concubine Xuan. Therefore, Concubine Zhuang's eyes when she looked at Duan Zhong were naturally not so friendly.

And more importantly, our second prince Duan was reborn extremely smart, and he has already covered up the limelight of the eldest prince. The eldest prince is also a genius, but only in swordsmanship. He is a martial idiot, and he knows how to practice swords every day, so naturally he can't compare with our all-round talent Duan Zhong.

Therefore, Concubine Zhuang hates Concubine Xuan very much, and hates Duan Chong even more...... And Duan Zhong didn't want to be a concubine at all. As for the prince of Nalaoshzi, Duan Chong didn't care about it, at least the prince of Dali, Duan Chong didn't care......

————————————————————————————————————————————————

On this day, the wind was beautiful, and he had just sent off Scholar Dong, Duan Zhong sat in the courtyard of Chongyang Palace and looked at the birds outside the window and joked, but he was thinking in his heart where Su'er had gone, and he hadn't seen her for half a day.

This Chongyang Palace is naturally not Wang Chongyang's Chongyang Palace, but Duan Chong's own dormitory. He felt that the name of Chongyang Palace was good, and he also had his own word "heavy" in the middle, so he used it, and Emperor Laozi also thought it was good. But if he really knows the origin of this palace, he will probably be angry to death.

But fortunately, only Duan Zhong in this world has read Jin Yong's novel...... Or two people...... Duan Chong's thoughts were a little scattered.

But these are some inconsequential things for now, and the most important thing is that Su'er hasn't appeared for a long time, so she has to come back quickly.

Duan Zhong is already four years old, which is an extremely contradictory age. Because Duan Chong has now learned to run around the palace every day, molesting the maids and girls that some princes and ministers brought with them when they entered the palace to ask for peace...... At the same time, Duan Zhong also found that he had grown heavier, and it was difficult for Su'er to hold it at the age of sixteen...... That is to say, his head is about to leave Su'er's crisp breasts. This is a very painful thing, so Duan Chong is thinking about asking Su'er to come back quickly, and then ...... Hug. Enjoy yourself for a few more moments.

However, Duan Zhong opened his eyes and was pleasantly surprised to find that Su'er was back. But he found that his beautiful plan was delayed again, because Su'er was still holding a person in his hand, a little boy to be exact, a little boy about the same age as Duan Wei.

Su Er smiled like a flower: "My little master, I brought back your companion!" ”

Accompaniment?

Duan Zhong was stunned. The so-called accompanying reading is nominally a person who accompanies the prince to study, but in fact, because of the status of the royal children, there are no playmates in childhood, so the palace finds some children of similar age to accompany the princes to live, which can be regarded as making up for the princes' white childhood.

The accompanying reading of the prince of Liang is generally the son of a certain palace minister, but Dali is different, and the accompanying reading of the prince is an orphan selected from the people. Because in this way, when the new emperor ascends the throne, he can avoid nepotism among his subordinates, and can also reduce the turmoil in the court caused by the struggle for the throne.

So Duan Zhong knew that the child Su Er was holding at the moment was an orphan.

Duan Zhong has always been a very sympathetic person, not to mention that he is still an orphan in front of him. But Duan Zhong didn't have any kindness at the moment, the reason was very simple, and there was only one: his hand was held by Su'er...... This is Su'er's hand, and he can only hold Duan Zhong's hand.

So Duan Chong was a little annoyed, and he forgot that the other party was an orphan, and he was only four or five years old...... He looked at the visitor with a hostile face.

Su'er looked at Duan Chong, who was full of hostility, a little surprised, and a little funny, and hurriedly stepped forward and pulled the orphan with one hand and Duan Zhong with the other, and said, "My little master, who upset you again?" ”

When Duan Zhong heard Su'er's words, his mind cleared up a little, thinking that the other party was only four or five years old, and he was probably close to thirty years old in his heart, how could he get angry with the child? When this man was jealous, it was really terrifying.

Duan Zhong was a little more sober, and his brain was naturally much brighter. Looking at this poor orphan who had nothing to worry about, a sudden flash flashed in my mind, and I thought that I could do one thing: a baby care program.

Duan Zhong pointed at the orphan and asked, "What's your name?" ”

The orphan wondered, "My mother called me Zongzi...... But my mother died, so I don't have a name. ”

The center of gravity is a little sour, and the child's thoughts are so simple. smiled and said, "Then you will call it zongzi." You are my companion, so follow me to study and practice swords in the future. Okay? ”

Zongzi nodded as if he didn't understand, and said, "Sister Su'er told me that I will listen to my master." ”

Duan Zhong felt a little awkward when he heard Zongzi call his master, but the name of the prince couldn't be called casually, and after thinking for a long time, he said: "Don't call me master, call me boss!" ”

"Boss?" Zongzi blinked in confusion.

"That's what big brother means!"

"Oh!"

"Come, call and listen!"

"Boss!"

"Hey, that's good, I'm the boss, you're the second!"

"Got it, I'm the second!"

————————————————————————————————————————

Duan Zhong happily pasessed the zongzi, and then vented most of his grievances that he had been the "second" prince for four years.

Su'er looked at the two silly boys talking happily, and said, "You two play first, I'll go and greet today's dinner." With that, he smiled and left.

Duan Zhong saw Su'er leave, turned his face and looked at Zongzi with a very treacherous expression: "Do you like to listen to stories?" ”

"I like it!"

"Then I'll tell you the story of the gourd baby."

......

"Does it sound good?"

"Sounds good."

"Do you want to hear it?"

"Yes."

"Then you have to promise me a few things!"

"Yes!"

"You agreed before I said it?"

"That'...... Then if you tell a story, I'll promise one? ”

"Okay, I'll tell you the story of Sheriff Black Cat......"

......

"Listen to me for everything you do in the future."

"Yes."

......

"In the future, you will follow me to learn knowledge."

"Yes."

......

"In the future, you will practice sword training with me, and be my shadow."

"What is a shadow?"

"It's a bodyguard."

"Okay, I got it."

......

"Why don't you tell a story?"

"I'm done with my conditions."

"Then you can think of some more conditions for me to agree."

“......”
