Chapter 42: Drills, or Drills (II)
As soon as the Qingming Festival passes, the day is getting hotter, although it has not yet reached the summer, but the slightly thicker robes are no longer wearable, a lot of exercise, you can immediately get out of the stinky sweat all over the body, the palace is in a hurry to change into light summer clothes, of course, it is not without exceptions, the prince Li Hong has been weak since childhood, lack of qi and blood, but he is afraid of cold and not afraid of heat, even if the palace maids waiting next to him have already put on graceful summer skirts, but Li Hong is still dressed very neatly, and the figure sitting behind a few sons is slightly bloated.
"Your Highness."
Just as Li Hong was immersed in reading the recital, a small eunuch walked in from outside the hall, cautiously approached a few sons, and called in a low voice.
"Hmm."
Li Hong raised his head, glanced at the little eunuch, frowned inadvertently, but didn't say much, just said noncommittally.
"His Royal Highness Qiqi, His Royal Highness King Zhou has been practicing martial arts with Li Boyao and Li Sijie in the mansion all this time, and there are no other measures."
Although Li Hong didn't open his mouth to ask, the little eunuch obviously knew what Li Hong was going to ask, so he didn't dare to be the slightest bit lazy, and hurried to report.
"Oh?" Li Hong nodded thoughtfully, but he didn't rush to speak, but after muttering for a while, he suddenly laughed and said: "The seventh brother Lone has always been lazy, and I didn't expect that he would know how to work hard now, but it is also a good thing, hmm, I just don't know how well he has practiced?" ”
"If you go back to His Royal Highness, according to the report, His Royal Highness King Zhou has only practiced two in the past two months, one is to run laps, and the other is to lift stone locks, and I have never seen His Royal Highness King Zhou practice." As soon as he heard Li Hong's question, a mocking smile immediately appeared on the little eunuch's face, he pursed his lips, and replied with some disdain.
"Uh-huh, is there such a thing? Why is that? ”
When Li Hong heard that Li Xian's martial arts practice was actually like this, he was stunned, and then asked in disbelief.
"There is no falsehood in this matter, and the specific reason is not known, but it is reported that the qualifications of King Zhou are too poor, and Li Sijie is unwilling to teach, and deliberately uses this to make it difficult for His Royal Highness King Zhou, as if he wants to know the difficulty and retreat." The little eunuch bowed down and replied with a smile.
"I see, poor seventh brother." As soon as he heard that this was the reason, Li Hong couldn't help laughing, his fingers unconsciously flicked a few times on the zizi, raised his eyebrows, casually picked up the playbook in front of him, slipped it in his hand, and after playing for a while, he raised his hand and threw the playbook into the arms of the little eunuch, and said lightly: "Go, send this fold to the palace of King Zhou, let His Royal Highness King Zhou have a good look, go." ”
"Ah, yes."
The little eunuch took the recital, only glanced at it, his face changed instantly, but he didn't dare to ask more details, and after answering respectfully, he withdrew from the main hall and went to the Zhou Palace's mansion to send the recital without mentioning it.
"Xiao Qi, Xiao Qi, what do you want to do?"
After the little eunuch left, Li Hong sat blankly for a moment, muttered in a low voice, shook his head with a wry smile, and then buried his head in the notebook......
Why? This question is not only Li Hong wants to know, Li Xian himself also wants to know, it's been more than two months, I haven't seen Li Boyao teach any kung fu, every day in addition to running circles is to lift stone locks, or running circles with stone locks on his back, tired but tired like a dead dog, but I haven't learned anything, not to mention the "Art of War", even equestrianism, knife skills, and spearmanship have not seen a shadow, Rao is Li Xian's temper is good, and he has endured it to the limit.
Thousands of high-rise buildings begin in Zhaoji, only the firmer the foundation, the higher the building can rise, this truth Li Xian can not understand, therefore, at the beginning of the fight Li Xian did not resist Li Boyao's desperate training of the foundation of the arrangement, for more than two months, he really completely obeyed Li Boyao's coaching, not to mention lazy, even the complaint has never been half a sentence, however, as time goes by, this time Li Boyao came and went with just two tricks, Li Xianke couldn't help it, yes, laying the foundation is wanted, but it can't always be such a way of playing, Besides, even if you want to lay the foundation, then why do you need him Li Boyao to advise, there are as many martial artists in the palace as rice, which one is not from the basic practice, if Li Xian really wants to lay the foundation, let the guards in the palace give a little guidance, Li Boyao is such an unclear way is it indiscriminate, although Li Xian does not expect to be able to become a peerless general, but he doesn't want Li Boyao to toss and play, right? Annoyed, Li Xianke didn't plan to be obedient anymore, so he arrived at the small school early this morning, ready to have a final showdown with Li Boyao.
"The last general will see His Highness."
Li Boyao's professionalism may be very questionable, but it is impeccable in punctuality and etiquette, regardless of whether Li Xian came early or late, Li Boyao always waited early in the schoolyard, and today is no exception.
"General Li doesn't have to be like this, just excuse me, Xiao Wang will practice some things today, so please ask General Li to show it."
Today, Li Xian has made up his mind to have a showdown with Li Boyao, but he doesn't plan to turn his face as soon as he comes up, and he still asks politely.
"Your Highness, please run five laps first, and then discuss the rest."
Li Boyao finished saluting, stood up straight, and spoke unhurriedly.
Running laps? It's another lap! I'll it! As soon as he heard that he was still running in circles today, the anger in Li Xian's heart "poofed", glared at Li Boyao angrily, and was about to turn his face, but at the end, he still endured it, and didn't say much, he turned around and ran away around the small school field, not to mention, Li Xian has been tossing and turning for the past two months, although he has not learned a star and a half in martial arts, but his body and bones are obviously stronger than before, but the person is not very breathing, and his complexion is not as blue-gray as before.
"General Li, Xiao Wang's five laps have been completed, dare to ask the general what he will practice next?"
Although Li Xian is not panting much, his breath is no longer as easy-going as in the past, and the word "yu" is even more ironic, it is obvious that Li Xian's patience has almost been tossed.
"Lift the stone lock, twelve groups, twelve times each."
Li Boyao replied calmly as if he hadn't seen Li Xian's face that was about to go crazy.
What the? It's also lifted, rely on, it's endless! Rao is Li Xianqi is good, when he heard it, it was the same old way, and the anger in his heart could no longer be resisted, gritted his teeth, and said coldly: "Is there anything else, huh?" ”
"Your Highness can not raise it, if so, the general will not teach."
Li Boyao was not moved by Li Xian's cold words in the slightest, and replied quietly.
"Good, very good!"
Li Xian was about to go crazy, but when he heard Li Boyao say this, he changed his mind again, Tie Qing nodded with a blue face, and no longer talked nonsense, turned around and walked to the place where the stone lock was placed, picked up a pair of thirty pounds of stone lock, and practiced quietly, maybe it was the habit of practicing in the past, or maybe it was the result of anger, this originally required to practice the work for more than an hour, Li Xian only took more than half an hour to complete, but his breath was a little messy, and he was panting, but Li Xian didn't plan to take a break at all, Walked in front of Li Boyao with a red face, shook his head, shook the beads of sweat on his face, looked at Li Boyao provocatively and said, "General Li, Xiao Wang wants to know what to practice next?" ”
"That's it for today." Li Boyao glanced at Li Xian, still with that calm look, and he didn't even change his tone.
"Really? That's it? ”
Li Xian couldn't hold it back at all this time, rolled his eyes fiercely, gritted his teeth, and a sentence came out eeriely from between his teeth.
"Yes, that's it." Li Boyao didn't pay attention to Li Xian's eyes, dropped a sentence, didn't look at Li Xian, turned around and left.
Bastard, play Lao Tzu, look for death! Li Xian was angry, and was about to order a group of guards to stop Li Boyao, but he didn't expect that before he could speak, he heard Li Boyao come out without looking back: "From tomorrow, practice knives!" ”
What? Got a knife practice? Ha, I've finally grown, haha, this time I don't have to run circles, cool! Hehe, the knife is good, maybe we can really practice as a knife or something, it's strong enough! As soon as Li Xian heard that he was going to start practicing knives tomorrow, he was happy in his heart, and people couldn't help but think about it, and finally came back to his senses.
Er, it's really good to go so fast, it's true, and it doesn't mean what kind of knife you're practicing, it's boring! Seeing that Li Boyao was gone, Li Xian's enthusiasm immediately dissipated Tai Ban, but there was no way, so he had to force himself to endure the commotion in his heart, reached out to take the wet towel handed over by Yan Hong, and while wiping it, he turned around and walked towards the house, he planned to go back to Haosheng to freshen up first, but as soon as he raised his foot, he saw Gao Miao accompanied the famous little eunuch hurriedly running from the gate of the west wall, and Li Xian immediately stood up reservedly.
"Your Royal Highness, this is Wang Dequan, the deputy director of the Xiande Hall of the East Palace, who came on the orders of His Royal Highness the Prince."
As soon as Gao Miao saw Li Xian standing there, he didn't dare to slack off, trotted all the way to the front, hurriedly bowed down, and introduced the little eunuch who followed him to Li Xian.
"The slave maid has seen His Royal Highness the King of Zhou."
Although Wang Dequan's grade is not high, he is the most obedient person around the prince, and he has his own reserve, even if it is to give a gift to a prince like Li Xian, although the number of courtesies is correct, there is a trace of obvious arrogance in his tone.
"Oh, it turned out that the prince had arrived, so I don't know if my father-in-law is here......"
With the experience of the previous life, Li Xian naturally knew what kind of person the little eunuch in front of him was, and he would not be as knowledgeable as him, so he raised his hand with a smile, signaled Wang Dequan to be exempt, and asked kindly.
"So that His Highness will know that the slave maid is here on the order of His Royal Highness the Prince, and sent a copy of the fold to His Highness, please take a look." As Wang Dequan spoke, he took out a fold from his wide sleeves, held it in both hands and handed it to Li Xian.
"Oh?" Li Xian has been very low-key in the past few months, not to mention participating in the government affairs, even his own mansion rarely goes out, and he heard the prince send a fold tightly, which is really a little inexplicable, but he didn't think much about it, he stretched out his hand and took the fold, just one look, people were stupid......
