Chapter 3: The Bloodline of Fire
Emperor Yan Fengguo, Zhao Zongyang, and Zhao Hongxing's father in this world, just like he couldn't feel the temperature of the flame on Zhao Hongxing's body, he happily and proudly touched Zhao Hongxing's little head, and then, before Zhao Hongxing lit the table and chair, he held him in his arms.
After that, Zhao Hongxing learned the reason for his "spontaneous combustion".
Zhao Hongxing's whole body suddenly burst into flames, which was the only phenomenon called the awakening of the "Bloodline of Yan" in the Yanfeng Imperial Family. Most members of the royal family will appear around the age of five and begin to awaken, and the sooner they awaken, the better, like Zhao Hongxing, who began to awaken before the age of five, is indeed enough to make his emperor father proud. The power of this flame will make Zhao Hongxing's physical fitness after awakening like a hanging, and his strength and physical fitness will soon reach the level of a strong adult in a short period of time, and it will continue to climb with age, until he reaches the peak of being invincible in the world by relying on physical strength when he is a teenager.
The flame that represents the beginning of awakening is also one of the powers after awakening, this flame will stay quietly in Zhao Hongxing's body after awakening and stabilizing, and constantly refining all of Zhao Hongxing's organs. Soon, at just a few years old, he may become invulnerable like an armored vehicle.
Zhao Hongxing thought that under the continuous strengthening of the flames and the blessing of the extremely perverted strange power, the physical fitness of the Yanfeng Imperial Family was not like a humanoid Gundam with a solar furnace?
According to Zhao Hongxing, this kind of flame power unique to the Yanfeng royal family can be cultivated by any kind of martial arts to produce an external effect, whether it is attached to the fists and feet like a fighting spirit, or used to strengthen the ability of the body part of the body for a short time like internal force, or even to enchant a flame attribute for a short time to the weapon.
Although he couldn't rub out a big fireball like a magician, these were enough to shock Zhao Hongxing. It wasn't that he was shocked to learn that he had many superhuman abilities, Zhao Hongxing was shocked that such an invincible Yanfeng Imperial Family had not been able to rule the world.
The Yanfeng royal family has a "hanging ratio" like the blood of the flame and has not been able to sweep the six in one and unify the eight directions, is there still this kind of person in this world who is also like this or more than this?
Zhao Hongxing, who was dressed like a torch at that time, was held in the arms of the emperor's father, and the power of the blood of Yan was not afraid of any flames by Emperor Zhao Zongyang, and because the power of the blood was used, the body would still produce extremely high temperatures, so even the yellow robe on his body was made of special fire-resistant fabric. Of course, Zhao Hongxing, who was still young, was wearing clothes that were not yet special, and they had long been burned to ashes.
Zhao Hongxing was still on fire with his bare buttocks on fire at that time, and Zhao Zongyang protested against his behavior everywhere, but he, the emperor who was a little too happy, didn't hear it at all. The other big royal brothers and sisters also laughed very happily, but they all seemed to have the attitude of watching a play.
Fortunately, the flames on Zhao Hongxing's body gradually retracted into his body, and Zhao Hongxing could finally put on a dress to cover his shame.
However, Zhao Hongxing immediately knew why his royal brother and sister wanted to look at him like watching a play.
This process of awakening actually requires a period of stability, and during this period, Zhao Hongxing is like a gas stove that automatically ignites from time to time, and will randomly "fire" it several times a day.
This state of random ignition has caused many difficulties in Zhao Hongxing's life. If you eat well, you will catch fire, and the utensils are fine, but you are likely to quickly scorch the food in front of you. If you go to the toilet so well, it will catch fire, and if you pee, it's better, but if you happen to poop, it's the most uncomfortable - has anyone ever imagined the smell of burnt XX?
The most uncomfortable point is that Zhao Hongxing can't read. As the saying goes, there are always more ways than difficulties, and Zhao Hongxing really thought of a way, that is, he could stay in a position where he could read the words clearly and ensure the safety of the book, and then find an attendant to turn the book for him.
On Zhao Hongxing's fifth birthday, many imperial relatives and ministers of the DPRK and China came, and he may have been a little nervous as the protagonist of this kind of high-level pomp, so after the normal banquet, Zhao Hongxing "automatically ignited" nearly ten times.
What made Zhao Hongxing even more unbelievable was that every time he caught fire, everyone in the audience began to applaud and cheer happily, as if they had seen some wonderful show.
Zhao Hongxing felt that he was being tricked as a monkey......
In the end, this phenomenon of "ignition" ended after that birthday party, and Zhao Hongxing began to feel the power of the "blood of fire".
Zhao Hongxing, who was only five years old at the time, could effortlessly lift something nearly three times his weight, and ran at full speed in the palace city, and the attendants who were almost physically close could not catch up with him at all. As for whether he was invulnerable, Zhao Hongxing didn't dare to try it for a long time with a knife on the back of his hand.
The first person who made Zhao Hongxing have the idea of "children in another world are good ox X" was actually Zhao Hongxing himself. And the little girl Le Aya, who just crossed the comparison twice, is the third.
Time temporarily returned to the present, and after arranging a guard to hire a doctor for Le Aya, Zhao Hongxing left this small courtyard that is usually used to practice martial arts - the rules in this palace are somewhat similar to the Qing Dynasty, and the princes have had their own courtyards in the palace since they were five or six years old, and they can live alone. But the children don't seem to need to obey the rules so much, like Zhao Hongxing, who basically doesn't take it with him in his yard when he has nothing to do, and no one cares about running around.
Zhao Hongxing entered the courtyard, walked straight to a room, and when he walked to the door, he stood up and asked softly to the attendant standing at the door.
"Is Hongyi awake?"
"Back to the sixth son, Hongyi did wake up for a moment just now, but just now Imperial Doctor Liu came and let him drink the medicine and then fell asleep again. The squire replied.
"Imperial Doctor Liu is still inside?" Zhao Hongxing then asked.
"Yes, Imperial Physician Liu said that he would observe for a while before leaving. The squire replied again.
Zhao Hongxing nodded, then lightly opened the door and walked into the house. This room is Zhao Hongxing's bedroom when he lived in this courtyard, but because the weather is getting colder, curtains are hung on the windows and doors, so the vision in the room is a little dim. An old man with goat's beard sat on the edge of the bed, looking at the patient lying on the bed with a solemn face.
The young man lying on the bed, with a very pale face, is the Hongyi that Zhao Hongxing just said.
This is the prince's room, Hongyi is also lying on the prince's couch, and the doctor next to him is a doctor who specializes in treating the emperor's relatives and dignitaries. Although this person named Hongyi is now treated very well, in fact, Hongyi is just a scholar and personal attendant of Zhao Hongxing, the sixth prince.
Speaking back to Zhao Hongxing when he was five years old, after the bloodline of the Awakening Flame was stabilized, he needed to start some simple enlightenment education. And Hongyi was called Zhao Hongxing's special companion and personal attendant at this time.
In Yanfeng, the prince's companions and personal attendants generally passed through the Hanlin Academy—unlike the Hanlin Academy from the Tang Dynasty, the department called the Hanlin Academy was a department dedicated to the education at all levels—specially trained children. These children will be selected before the birth of the prince and the princess, and after five years of all-round teaching in the Hanlin Academy, they will be qualified to become companions and personal attendants.
Hongyi was not called Hongyi at the beginning, as an orphan, he did not have a name after entering the Hanlin Academy, only a serial number. Three years ago, when this young man first came to Zhao Hongxing's side, he was called Erqi.
Zhao Hongxing, who has been a prince for several years, has become accustomed to the feeling that he will be accompanied by people at any time, but when he learned that Erqi, who was only a teenager, was going to become his new companion and personal guard, it was still a little difficult to accept.
Zhao Hongxing, who is about to be thirty years old, is a little resistant to letting a child take care of him, but what is aggrieved is that he can't just run to tell the emperor's father that he doesn't want this attendant. Zhao Hongxing felt that it was very awkward to be taken care of by a child, but the ghost knows what those people in the Hanlin Courtyard would think, and if they refused this, they would definitely have to stuff the next one, in case they made the steward think that it was because they felt that Erqi was not qualified to take care of him at all, and then let Erqi suffer for no reason.
Zhao Hongxing had no choice but to calm down, although Hongyi was the one who was sent to serve him, but he tried not to treat others as a subordinate. Zhao Hongxing himself is also a person who does not know how to put on a prince's shelf, and after Erqi, who is also a child, came into contact with Zhao Hongxing, he slowly let go of his rustiness and nervousness, and soon, the two of them were like good friends in private.
What makes Zhao Hongxing depressed is that although Erqi doesn't treat himself as a prince anymore, he seems to be a younger brother again.
In this way, Zhao Hongxing and the only (physically) "friend" of the same age around him got along for three years.
Now, Zhao Hongxing is eight years old in this world.
In the past three years, Zhao Hongxing has still lived a very leisurely life, and the enlightenment courses he usually takes are just some basic etiquette, simple arithmetic and some poetry and songs.
These things are not difficult for Zhao Hongxing, who has been a learning machine for more than ten years, so he will still have a lot of free time after completing the course. The emperor's father wanted Zhao Hongxing to practice martial arts, but he had little interest in practicing martial arts from the beginning.
The physical fitness is so invincible, what kind of martial arts do you practice? Zhao Hongxing thought so in his heart.
Martial arts practice does not seem to be a compulsory course for every prince in Yanfeng, seeing that Zhao Hongxing is not interested, Emperor Zhao Zongyang also did not say anything, but looked at Zhao Hongxing with a very complicated expression.
But what Zhao Hongxing never expected was that his leisurely good days would suddenly come to an end.
One day in mid-October (it's the beginning of November, everyone pay attention), Zhao Hongxing took Erqi to wander around the palace city, and when he walked to the location of picking up the outer wall of the palace, Zhao Hongxing found that half a head appeared on the city wall not far away.
Just when Zhao Hongxing was confused about what it was to climb the city wall and expose half of his head, Hongyi, who was following him, suddenly pulled him into his arms, and then, he heard a "whoosh" sound of breaking the air, and then a very sharp thing hit his chest, and at the same time, Hongyi, who held him tightly in his arms, let out a hoarse cry.
"Have-Assassin-Guest!!"
Zhao Hongxing suddenly felt a little weak in his legs, and he really wanted to see what was going on around him, but Erqi didn't know where he got the strength to hold him to death, and Zhao Hongxing, who was so frightened that his hands and feet were weak, couldn't break free for a while.
As soon as Erqi's scream fell, there were a lot of chaotic footsteps around. After a while, a rich voice that made Zhao Hongxing feel very relieved sounded.
"I'm General Geng, the leader of the forbidden army, let go of the sixth prince, he's safe. ”
Zhao Hongxing felt that Hongyi's strength was weakening with these words, and he was finally able to poke his head out to see what was going on around him.
Zhao Hongxing saw dozens of guards wearing armor and holding steel knives surrounding him, and Zhao Hongxing, who was only living a scene in the movie, was a little panicked.
"Er, Erqi, what's the situation?" Zhao Hongxing looked at the "General Geng", patted the Erqi who was a little shaky after letting go of himself.
The short silence of "......" made Zhao Hongxing feel strange, Erqi has always answered his questions, and there has never been such a silent situation.
Zhao Hongxing looked at Erqi suspiciously, but the scene in front of him almost made him pee his pants - Erqi, whose face was as white as paper, staggered and barely stood, and in his chest, dark red blood was slowly reddening the front of his clothes, and more dark red blood was flowing out of a finger-thick hole in his chest.
Before peeing his pants, Zhao Hongxing grasped the point, and he remembered the stabbing pain in his chest just now. When he looked down, he saw an "iron needle" with barbs as thick as his thumb hanging from his chest.
"Childe, are you alright?" Erqi, who was as angry as a gossamer, stood there shaking more and more.
"I ......" Looking at Erqi, Zhao Hongxing remembered the blank feeling in his mind when he lost his monthly salary.
"I didn't ...... It's ...... thing" Before he finished speaking, Erqi collapsed heavily in front of Zhao Hongxing's eyes.
At this time, Zhao Hongxing really had nothing left in his mind at this time, only a blank space.
