Chapter 37: The Hidden Dragon in the Abyss

The night was dark, and Zhao Chen was already lying on the bed!

Just lying here, he turned on his side and couldn't sleep! In fact, since leaving Kaifeng, this is the first time he has fallen on such a soft bed, and the first time he has such a good sleeping environment! It's a pity he still can't sleep!

So Zhao Chen sat up gently, he lit the lamp, and a hint of brightness gradually appeared in the room!

He opened the window and looked outside, but it was still pitch black! Ancient and modern times are different, in modern times, even the most remote places in the city have lights at night, while in ancient times, the night was really dark!

"It's so dark outside, just like I am now! I am the crown prince of the Great Song Dynasty, but I have been unable to help myself, I have been fleeing, and now I have fallen into the hands of the father and son of Zhe Keqiu, Zhe Yan Qian, of course, this time I willingly fell into their hands! With Yue Fei's martial arts, if I were to leave at that time, I would definitely be able to leave! Now it's dark around me, and I wish someone had lit a lamp for me to light the way forward! ”

"The teacher said to be patient, and when the strength is enough and the time comes, I will seize power in one fell swoop, and then I will rejuvenate the Great Song Dynasty and restore China...... In fact, the teacher's words are a lamp, and the teacher has already illuminated the way forward for me! Until then, I'm going to live well, live well! ”

"When will I see them?"

"I really miss the life before the crossing, although I go to class every day and study every day, but I am carefree!"

"The teacher has shown me the way forward...... I also want to use my dreams, confidence, and courage to light an inextinguishable lamp for myself, so that I can live fearlessly and bravely! In this troubled world, I want to live a good life, I want to realize my dream and restore China! ”

For a while, Zhao Chen remembered countless things! He is still a ten-year-old boy, his face is confused for a while, sad for a while, and excited for a while!

"Let the storm come harder! I want to be a petrel who fights in the storm, conquers all difficulties, and tramples all enemies under my feet! After a long time, Zhao Chen clenched his fists violently and said secretly.

He took out a piece of paper, put it on the table, then took out the ink and inkstone, and slowly sharpened the ink by himself, so that his mood gradually calmed down!

After a long time, he took the pen and slowly wrote four big characters on the paper - the hidden dragon is in the abyss!

A gentleman should be ready to move and be good at preserving himself! When the time comes, use all your strength to knock your enemies to the ground! This is the hidden dragon in the abyss!

When he got up in the morning, the ink, inkstone, and brush had already been put away by him, and the paper had been torn to shreds by him!

Although they were under house arrest in this small courtyard, the father and son did not abuse them, and the breakfast in the morning was extremely rich, almost comparable to the meal in the palace! It's a pity that everyone doesn't have the heart to enjoy the food now, they just eat it in a hurry, and then they gather together again!

"Teacher, have we been waiting in this small courtyard? When do you think we'll be able to see the Ori father and son? Zhao Chen said.

"I don't know...... It should be soon! Don't worry, prince! Li Gang nodded.

"I'm not in a hurry, I just don't know what to do now! It's really boring to stay in this small courtyard! Zhao Chen smiled bitterly.

"Your Highness will study with me in the morning and follow Yue Fei and them to practice martial arts in the afternoon, okay?" Li Gang said.

"Good!" Zhao Chen nodded.

That morning, in this small courtyard under house arrest, Zhao Chen began to study his homework with Li Gang. This time, what Li Gang is talking about is no longer the emperor's mental art, nor is it the doctrine of Confucianism, what Li Gang is talking about is some geographical knowledge of the Great Song Dynasty and some important figures! If you want to rule the world in the future, this geographical knowledge is a must, and those important people must also tell Zhao Chen!

Li Gang secretly vowed to cultivate His Royal Highness the Crown Prince into an unprecedented Ming Monarch and Holy Monarch in ancient and modern times, so he taught it with extra care! And Zhao Chen has great ambitions, so he naturally listens to the class attentively!

He knew very little about the geography of ancient times, and when he first came to this era, he didn't even know the "three towns in the north", but at this moment he had a certain understanding of the important cities and passes of the Northern Song Dynasty! In the process of explaining geography, Li Gang inevitably mentioned some battles experienced by cities and passes, including the strategies of the generals at that time, etc., so Zhao Chen also learned some knowledge of the art of war!

"Since Cheng Hao and Cheng Yi founded science, science has become the mainstream of Confucianism! Science is prevalent, and the masters of science are naturally famous all over the world! The most famous master of science today is Mr. Yang Shi, he is a disciple of Cheng Hao, after Cheng Hao's death, he studied with Cheng Yi, after Cheng Yi's death, he studied in Yichuan Academy for 20 years, famous all over the world! When the Emperor Taishang and His Majesty were in power, they all sent people to invite Mr. Yang Shi, but Mr. Yang Shi did not come out as an official! He doesn't love power, so he is even more famous! His Royal Highness will inherit the throne in the future, and it would be great if he could recruit Mr. Yang Shi! Li Gang said.

Yang Shi...... I'm afraid it's not as good as the teacher! Zhao Chen shook his head and said.

He didn't say this casually, nor did he deliberately compliment Li Gang! In his opinion, a scholar must have knowledge, but his ability to deal with things may not be very high! You must know that Li Gang is the first minister of Nandu, except for the other three who are also among the four ministers of Zhongxing in the Southern Song Dynasty, everyone else is too different from him! Along the way, he has seen too much of Li Gang's wisdom and vision!

"Mr. Yang Shi is famous, Your Highness can't say that!" Li Gang said.

"Okay, don't talk about him! Teacher, have you heard of Zhao Ding, Li Guang, and Hu Quan? Zhao Chen said.

"Zhao Ding once served as the commander of Luoyang, and it is said that he is quite talented in handling political affairs! Li Guang is the imperial history, quite upright! As for Hu Quan, Lao Chen had not heard of it. Li Gang thought for a while and said.

Among the four ministers of Zhongxing in the Southern Song Dynasty, Li Gang, Zhao Ding, and Li Guang are older, while Hu Quan is only in his twenties now, quite young, and has never served as a central official, Li Gang naturally doesn't know this person!

"My father once said that these three people are talented and can be relied on! It's just that the father hasn't had time to promote these three people, and they have already been captured by the Jin soldiers! Zhao Chen sighed and said.

It was difficult for him to explain why he knew the names of these people, so he had to attribute them all to Song Qinzong, and Li Gang did not doubt it.

"Since Your Majesty said that they have talents, then they must have some talents! I will help Your Highness keep an eye on the three of them, and if I find out where they are, I will do my best to recruit them!" Li Gang said.

"Good!" Zhao Chen smiled and nodded.

In the afternoon, Zhao Chen followed Yue Fei, Wang Gui, and Zhang Xian to practice martial arts in the small courtyard!

He was originally practicing swordsmanship with Wang De, but at this moment, it was these three people who pointed out! Among these three, Yue Fei's martial arts far surpass Wang De, and Wang Gui and Zhang Xian, as the main generals of Yue's army, are also famous in history, and their martial arts are not under Wang De!

Under the guidance of these three people, Zhao Chen's martial arts will naturally not fall!

He is still practicing the swordsmanship in the army, and he has not practiced the Taishō swordsmanship passed down by the royal family! Yue Fei saw that Zhao Chen's martial arts were already quite foundational, and expressed his praise!

After practicing for two hours, Zhao Chen stopped and said with a smile: "Brother Yue, what kind of realm has your martial arts reached?" Can you show me how? ”

Yue Fei nodded, he didn't speak, but suddenly stabbed at Zhao Chen with a shot!

That shot was still a long distance away from Zhao Chen, but Zhao Chen felt that his breathing suddenly stagnated, the air around him seemed to not exist, and the surrounding environment seemed to have changed! He no longer seems to be in the small courtyard, but on the battlefield of the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood! The murderous aura was sky-high, and this murderous aura made him almost faint!

He felt as if a long, long time had passed, but in fact only a moment had passed, and he suddenly recovered and said, "What kind of marksmanship is this?" ”

"This is the second brother's own creation of marksmanship, no name yet! The second brother also created a set of boxing techniques, which also has no name, but it is extremely powerful! Outside Xiangzhou City that day, the second brother used this world-famous boxing technique to subdue Zhang Jun in an instant! Wang Gui said with a smile.

Two names suddenly appeared in Zhao Chen's mind - "Yuejia Fist" and "Yuejia Gun"!
