In troubled times, the identity of the prince is not reliable, and he must have the means to protect himself. And martial arts is the best means to protect himself, so Zhao Chen has been studying martial arts hard.

At the beginning, he worked hard to learn martial arts, perhaps because of curiosity, after all, from the modern society, learning martial arts is an extremely novel thing. After so many months, the novelty has slowly disappeared, and what remains is "hard" and "boring". This is also the reason why no one in the royal family except Zhao Chen practices martial arts. The ordinary children of the royal family are noble, and they can have fun on weekdays, even if they don't have fun, they can also chant poems and do right, why bother learning martial arts? At this time, learning martial arts has long been not because of curiosity, but because of the existence of a sense of crisis in his heart!

"Mountains of soil, wind and rain! The water becomes an abyss, and the dragon is born! Accumulate goodness and become virtuous, and the gods are self-satisfied, and the sacred heart is prepared! Therefore, if you don't accumulate steps, you can't reach thousands of miles! If you don't accumulate small streams, you can't become rivers and seas! Qi Ji jumped, not ten steps, ten horses, the merit is reluctant! ”

Zhao Chen moved forward, while reciting the Chinese poems he had learned in his junior year of high school to encourage himself. Diligence can make up for clumsiness, not to mention that Zhao Chen is not "clumsy" at all. As a child of the royal family, he has qualifications that ordinary people don't have, he has the top martial arts cheats that ordinary people don't have, and he also has an innate master like Wang De as a teacher! Under such favorable conditions, if he can't learn some advanced martial arts, then he will really be sorry for himself!

In the center of Jujing Garden, he saw Wang De, Wang De's expression was unusually calm, as if nothing had happened.

Zhao Chen knew what happened last night, and knew how much risk Wang De had taken! If the little third child is discovered, the little third child himself will not escape death, and Wang De, who sent the little third child to the palace, will also be killed! And it's not just Wang De himself, Wang De's entire family may be implicated, and it is possible for the nine clans to be involved!

"General Wang, thank you! I will always remember this kindness! Zhao Chen came to Wang De and said softly, his voice was extremely sincere!

"Why did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince say that? You are the king, I am the minister! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has the grace of knowing Wang De! As the saying goes, the king wants his ministers to die, and the ministers have to die! If you have a life, I will naturally go all out to complete it! Your Highness must not mention the word of thanks in the future, these are all things that Your Majesty should do! The more sincere Zhao Chen was, the more Wang De felt panicked in his heart, and the more he felt that this "grace of knowledge" was difficult to report, so he hurriedly said at the moment!

In the eyes of modern people, it is right for others to do things for themselves, and to express their gratitude! It's a pity that this is just the thinking of modern people! In ancient times, under the teaching of Confucianism, the monarch was like the sky, and the subordinates were like the earth. At this moment, Wang De's eyes were even a little moist, and he hurriedly turned his head away to prevent Zhao Chen from seeing it.

Zhao Chen was a little surprised at the moment, he didn't understand why Wang De was so excited.

"Your Highness, that little third child is just a pranky in Kaifeng City, although he is only ten years old, he is extremely cunning! Beware of him! Wang De thought of the little third child and said.

"Don't worry, I won't let him mess around in the palace! He also seems to be quite clever, and he will be cautious! Zhao Chen said.

In the morning, Zhao Chen followed Wang De to practice Taizu Changquan, but what he practiced was only the first thirty-two styles passed down by the folk! The real Taizu Changquan has one hundred and eight styles, but unfortunately the seventy-six styles behind it are the secret of the palace, and he can't show it in front of others, even in front of Wang De, so he can only practice alone when he is in the East Palace!

At first, Zhao Chen was a little uneasy, he was worried that the junior in the East Palace would be discovered, and he was worried that something would happen to the East Palace! However, as he practiced one move at a time, his mood gradually calmed down! The more chaotic the situation, the more he has to be calm, if he is not calm, he can't do anything, and now anxiety has no need for him!

In the past, at noon, Zhao Chen would eat with Wang De in Jujing Garden, but today at noon, he returned to the East Palace! Seeing that everything was normal in the East Palace, he was relieved.

Zhao Chen entered his dormitory, drove out all the eunuchs and palace maids, he came to the bed, lowered his body, and saw that Xiao San'er was still hiding under the bed! Xiao San'er looked at Zhao Chen with a pair of dark eyes, and Zhao Chen breathed a sigh of relief.

"You're fine, you weren't found out by them!" Zhao Chen said.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, I'm hungry ......," Xiao San'er said.

Zhao Chen smiled and said, "I'll let them bring in the food, as well as the night pot...... You may have to live a while like this, will you be able to adapt? ”

"I can do it! I started begging when I was three years old, and life was much harder then than it is now! Follow His Royal Highness the Prince, at least it won't make me hungry, and the villain wants to thank His Royal Highness the Prince! Xiao San'er said.

"Excellent! You do things for me now, and I won't treat you badly! There are many gold and silver treasures in this dormitory, if you fancy that, take it! Zhao Chen nodded.

Hearing Zhao Chen's words, Xiao San'er's face showed an expression of extraordinary surprise! When he came in the middle of the night last night, he had already seen the magnificence in this dormitory, and he didn't know how many treasures there were! Everything here is a royal paraphernalia, and it can be sold for a lot of money when it is taken outside! He is a beggar on the surface, but in fact he is a prank! Although he knew that the palace was not trivial, he felt that he could leave, and the so-called newborn calf was not afraid of tigers! He was thinking that after staying here for a few days, he would steal some of the treasures in the dormitory and leave secretly! But now Zhao Chen actually said, "I fancy that, just take it", he is ready to stay here for a while longer, get more treasures, and then leave here!

As for what Zhao Chen asked him to do, he doesn't understand it now, and he is not ready to understand! At the end of the day, he's still a kid and doesn't think about a lot of things.

Zhao Chen had lunch in the dormitory, thought about it, and decided to deceive this little third child with words, so that the little third child could "willingly" do things for himself! At that time, if the Jin soldiers surround Kaifeng City, this little third child will be able to go to the Jin army without any resistance!

"Do you know, what did I let you into the palace for?" Zhao Chen said.

"The villain doesn't know!" Xiao San'er shook his head.

"Actually, it's very simple, it's too stuffy in this palace! Sometimes I can't help but sneak out of the palace and go outside! It's just that if I leave the palace and the people in the palace can't find me, they will definitely report to my father, and I will be blamed by my father! I let you into the palace to be my stand-in! When I left the palace, you appeared as me, and there was so much food and treasure in this palace! When the time comes, you can ask for it casually, you don't have to be polite! When the time comes, you can also be powerful, dissatisfied with anyone, or you can scold at will! Zhao Chen said.

"There is such a good thing!" Xiao San'er's face showed a look of surprise!

"This is not a good thing, do you think the crown prince stand-in is so easy to be? As a prince, there are many etiquettes and rules, all of which you have to learn! In the future, I will teach you slowly! If you can't bear this hardship, I will ask Wang De to find another person, and you will leave this palace! Zhao Chen said.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, rest assured, this hard work is nothing! I'm going to do it! Xiao San'er said.

"Good!" Zhao Chen nodded!

Zhao Chen had already left the palace, and Xiao San'er was still hiding under the bed. He'd been hiding under his bed all morning, and now his whole body was aching. But his heart was filled with joy, as if in the clouds. He thought to himself that he could appear in the palace as a "prince" in the future, how majestic would it be? Originally, he wanted to leave the palace after obtaining gold and silver, but now he decided to stay here for a long time, at least until he enjoyed enough of the "prince" treatment before he could leave here! As for the hardships he endured before enjoying the treatment of the crown prince, he felt that it was also worth it!

……

When Zhao Chen came to Jujing Garden, Wang De still arrived early.

Zhao Chen saw a hint of joy on Wang De's face, and couldn't help but be stunned, and said, "General Wang, what happened?" ”

Wang De said with a smile: "Your Highness Qiqi, now that the word has spread in Kaifeng City, Lord Li Gang Li has returned!" ”

"Oh!" Zhao Chen was stunned.

The name Li Gang was also thunderous to him, not only when he heard of this name, but also after coming to ancient times, he often heard this name! When the Jin soldiers went south for the first time last year, it was Li Gang who fought against the Jin, and under the leadership of Li Gang and the seed master, the Jin soldiers could not enter Kaifeng City, and finally retreated! It's just that after the Jin soldiers retreated, Li Gang was demoted, and the crime given to Li Gang by the Great Song Dynasty was "the main battle discussion, the loss of teachers and money", which means that Li Gang was bent on fighting the Jin soldiers, which led to the death of soldiers and the waste of military funds! After Jin Bing retreated last year, Li Gang was relegated to the area of the Jianchang Army in Jiangxi Province and became a magistrate! Now that the Jin soldiers are coming again, Song Qinzong is flustered, so he called Li Gang from Jiangxi to Kaifeng!

"In addition to Master Li Gang and Li, Lord Zhang Shuye is also here! And Lord Zhang also brought tens of thousands of Qinwang's army! Wang De said with a smile.

"Uncle Zhang!" Zhao Chen has naturally heard of this name, the heroes of Liangshan are invincible in the world in the Water Margin, but in fact, the Songjiang Uprising was exterminated a long time ago, and it was Zhang Shuye who exterminated the Songjiang Uprising! When the Jin soldiers invaded the south for the first time, the world was divided into four provinces, and Zhang Shuye was the head of the southern province! This Zhang Shuye is a famous loyal minister in history, Song Qinzong ordered the four Qin kings in the world, only Zhang Shuye came with the troops, and the other three have not yet come.

"Lord Li and Master Zhang are the mainstays of the world, and they are far superior to Zhang Bangchang and Li Bangyan! With them, the defense of Kaifeng is expected! Wang De said excitedly.

"Be careful, don't be heard!" Zhao Chen hurriedly said.

Wang De despises Zhang Bangchang and Li Bangyan here, if it is heard, it will be reported to the ears of Zhang Bangchang and Li Bangyan, but I am afraid that Wang De will not be able to eat and go around! Wang Denai is Zhao Chen's "love general", Zhao Chen doesn't want him to have any accidents!

The news of Li Gang and Zhang Shuye's arrival spread all over Kaifeng City, and it seems that the entire army and people in Kaifeng City have confidence! But Zhao Chen knew that it was impossible to stop the Jin soldiers with just two people, and the court and army of the Great Song Dynasty had rotted from the roots, and now it was difficult to turn the tide by anyone! He is still paying close attention to Jin Bing's news!

In the next few days, the battle reports continued to come, and the Jin army was still unstoppable!

*** ***

In the middle of October, the weather is getting colder!

The morning garden is white, which is the color of frost! If he was a student, Zhao Chen would have been dressed very thickly and hid in the room, but now he is standing in Jujing Garden in a single dress! After several months of practice, his internal strength has been successful, and he doesn't even feel cold!

Zhao Chen practiced swordsmanship for a while, and Wang De was on the side to guide him.

At this time, several eunuchs ran over to this side, and these eunuchs were surprised.

"What happened?" Zhao Chen stopped and said.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, great joy, great joy!"

"Big joy? The invasion of the golden soldiers, what happy events can there be now? Zhao Chen said.

"Jin Bing sent someone to negotiate peace!" The leading eunuch said with a smile on his face.
