At night, in the Prince's Mansion, Zhao Jie tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep, and his ears kept echoing Li Dui's words during the day: Guiguzi - has the ability to penetrate the heavens and the earth; Shang Ying, an epoch-making key figure in Legalism; Mozi - the largest gang in the world - the head of the Mo family.......

In his previous life, Zhao Jie had also heard the stories of these people through various media, and in their stories, they were always described as amazing, so Zhao Jie often thought that these stories were fictionalized by later generations, but after listening to what Li Dui said, he knew that these stories were almost all true, and these people would only be smarter than the people in the story, not inferior to the characters in the story, which shocked him. Linked to their ending, one hidden, one died, and one was unwilling, which reflects from the side what kind of society the Warring States is: smart people are everywhere, celebrities and gentlemen are not uncommon, conspiracies and conspiracy are everywhere, and life is not a pity. Zhao Jie felt fear for the first time, his will wavered for the first time, and he suddenly realized that his advantages were not so significant in this era of a hundred schools of thought, and it could even be said that they were insignificant, and his intelligence was not at the same level as those great talents. Zhao Jie curled up, frowned, and grabbed the thick quilt tightly with both hands, trying to find a peaceful place in his heart. In this way, maintaining this posture, Zhao Jie slowly fell asleep.

The next day, Zhao Jie was awakened by his mother's sweet voice, perhaps because he saw Zhao Jie's sleeping position, when Zhao Jie opened his eyes and saw his mother, his mother had a worried look on her face, and her mother spoke with a hint of anxiety in her tone: "Jie'er, are you okay?" ”

Zhao Jie got up from the bed and forced a smile: "I'm fine."

The mother picked up the clothes and put them on for Zhao Jie, and said to Zhao Jie in a faint tone: "Jie'er, I don't know what your grandfather said to you, I am a woman, I don't know any big truth, you are my child, you are the son of the prince of Zhao today, you are the grandson of the king of Zhao today, as your mother, no matter what kind of danger you encounter in the future, I will definitely protect you, I believe that your father will make the same choice as me, your future will be a smooth road, you don't have to worry about anything." Don't be afraid of anything, I'll always be there for you. ”

Listening to his mother's words, Zhao Jie's eyes couldn't help but turn red, before this, maybe because Zhao Jie had the memory of his previous life, there was always a trace of estrangement in his heart that made him unable to integrate into the current family, and now this estrangement was moved to melt, and he completely fell and accepted this family.

"Mother, mother, mother!" Zhao Jie called his mother a few times affectionately.

"Hey!" The mother agreed with a smile, her face full of happiness: "Jie'er, the clothes are dressed, let's go to breakfast with my mother!" ”

Zhao Jie held his mother's hand tightly, wrapped his big hand with a small hand, and a steady stream of warmth flowed into his heart, this may be the magic of maternal love!

Walking on the road, Zhao Jie's heart completely settled down, and Zhao Jie began to rethink the future.

"I am the grandson of King Zhao, it can be said that I have the best resources of this era, I am not short of people, money, and things, although I am ordinary, but diligence can make up for clumsiness, as long as I work hard and read a wide range of books, I will definitely be able to catch up with those great talents. The most important thing is that I am a nobleman of Zhao State, and since I lose, at most I can't change history, so I can live better than my rich man, anyway, there are still fifty or sixty years before the fall of Zhao State. ”

Searching the memories of his past life in his mind, Zhao Jie found that the time when the Battle of Changping broke out was getting closer and closer, and his time was running out. Facing the unknown future, Zhao Jie secretly vowed:

I must become the strongest in this era through my own efforts.

As he grew up, Zhao Jie regarded this day as the starting point of his life, and in his opinion, from here, he began to strive for his goals, and gradually moved towards irreproducible glory in the midst of hardships and dangers.

***************************************************************************

Under the leadership of his mother, Zhao Jie came to the dining hall. Outside the door of the dining hall, the head of the guard of his father Zhao Dan stood straight, dressed in armor and with a sword on his waist. "The voice is powerful and powerful.

Zhao Jie was awakened from his thoughts, and looked up at the chief of the guard in military uniform, and at this moment, Zhao Jie had an idea about his next life.

When I walked into the dining hall, I saw my father sitting at the dining table waiting, and my mother handed Zhao Jie over to the maid and walked away to tell the servant to go breakfast. Taking advantage of this moment, Zhao Jie cautiously said tentatively:

"Dad, I want to practice martial arts, can you find someone to teach me martial arts?"

Zhao Dan was tasting tea at this time, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but show a proud look on his face, and he couldn't help but wander out of the world. He clearly knew that his son was precocious, young but old, and had learned things that other children could only accept when they were seven or eight years old, and the masters who invited him praised him, and the government and the opposition said that he gave birth to a good son, which made him really proud.

"Father! Father! ”

Zhao Jie's voice interrupted Zhao Dan's thoughts. Zhao Dan took a sip of tea, glanced at Zhao Jie, who was looking forward to it, and said, "Jie'er, are you sure you want to practice martial arts?" You must know that practicing martial arts is very tiring. ”

Zhao Jie nodded firmly.

Seeing this, Zhao Dan then called: "Jiansheng, you come in." ”

The big man outside the door entered in response, knelt on one knee, lowered his head and said without humility or arrogance: "I have seen the master, the young master, what does the master command." ”

Zhao Dan said solemnly: "Jiansheng, you find the best person in swordsmanship, equestrianism, and archery among the guards to be responsible for teaching the young master swordsmanship, equestrianism, and archery." When teaching, you should treat him strictly, and you don't have to treat him as a young master. ”

"Whoa"

*************************************************************************

In Zhao Jie's previous life, many people in the society they lived in thought that martial arts was just a spectator sport, which was actually a big mistake. The combative, intense, and potential for injury in real martial arts is far greater than that of all confrontational sports; The essence of real martial arts is to defeat the opponent as the sole purpose of fighting, without any rules.

Wushu, as a characteristic of China, has a long history and should be called one of the oldest sports in the world. Wushu originated from military training during the Shang and Zhou dynasties, and its essence was some killing skills in warfare. In the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the annual conquest of the princes made more people need to carry out military training to join the army to fight for the country, and some small countries and even the whole people were soldiers, which made martial arts more and more close to the life of the public. In addition, due to the annexation of princes, the annexing country can absorb the advantages of the military training methods of the annexed countries to improve the scientific nature of its own military training methods. At the same time, the war caused some of the soldiers of the annexed countries to be transformed into rangers, or to teach disciples, or to travel to various countries to be appointed by the princes, and to a certain extent, the exchange of martial arts was promoted. By the end of the Warring States period, martial arts had matured in popular exchanges. Later generations said that "kicking, hitting, falling, holding, falling, hitting, splitting, stabbing" and other moves have appeared; Fists, legs, grappling, weapons, and several schools of internal martial arts have begun to emerge. At this point, the foundation of martial arts was laid, and since then it has continued to develop, and finally became a representative of the Chinese nation.

Zhao State, in the Warring States Period, as one of the Seven Heroes, is naturally a great country of martial arts exchange and martial arts without exception. Everyone in the country practiced martial arts, and martial arts masters from all over the world gathered here, creating a strong military force in the Zhao State. Zhao Jie's master, Zhao Jiansheng, was originally a Wei person, and his family had been a military pawn of Wei for generations, and later because he offended the Wei magnates, his family moved to Zhao and settled in Zhao. Later, Zhao Jiansheng was appreciated by Zhao Dan by chance, and was appointed as the chief of the guard, responsible for protecting Zhao Dan's safety, and now he has been appointed as Zhao Jie's master, which shows that he has won Zhao Jie's trust and strong martial arts.

Let's go back to Zhao Jie's story. After eating breakfast, under the entrustment of his parents, Zhao Jie followed Zhao Jiansheng to the martial arts arena.

Zhao Jie couldn't bear the ecstasy in his heart at this time, and he bowed his head and bowed, "Apprentice Zhao Jie to meet the master!" ”

Zhao Jiansheng hurriedly helped him up, and said to Zhao Jie in a deep voice: "Young master, learning martial arts with me is a great hardship, you can think about it again and then be sure, you don't have to answer me now, listen to me first After finishing the training method of martial arts, if you are still sure to practice martial arts with me, then please come here tomorrow morning (6 o'clock), I will wait for you here."

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Jiansheng talked about the history, equipment, training methods and other contents of the martial arts.

"The military soldier is the infantry selected by the Wei State according to the prescribed standards, created by the soldier Wu Qi, and its selection requires wearing a helmet on the head, a sharp sword on the waist, wearing armor all over the body, a hard bow with 12 stone iron tires, an arrow basket with 50 arrows on the back, carrying a Ge or spear, carrying 3 days' food, and traveling 100 miles in half a day. The whole body load of the soldiers reached 50 catties, and they rushed for dozens of miles to participate in fierce battles, and the war is generally a whole day, and its military quality is extraordinary. ”

"Naturally, the training methods of the martial arts are also extraordinary. It is a daily necessity for weight-bearing marching and is the norm of training; Archery training requires soldiers to shoot three arrows per minute while running and need to hit; Swordsmanship, spear method, and Gofa have their own special people to teach, and soldiers will be punished if they make mistakes. Every ten years, the soldiers fought in groups, and the losers were punished. ”

Under the strict military law and training, on average, only one soldier for every 10,000 soldiers became a military pawn, so the number of military soldiers was not large, and the total number of military soldiers was less than 30,000 at its most glorious time, but it played the title of "72 battles, 64 victories, and the rest were evenly resolved (drawn)". ”

"Wei Wushu's training is known for its arduousness, young master, I advise you to think about it carefully,"

After speaking, Zhao Jiansheng left the martial arts arena, leaving Zhao Jie in contemplation.

The next morning, the sun cast its first colors in the sky, and the dew rolled playfully in the embrace of the leaves. In the martial arts arena of the Prince's Mansion of Zhao State, a child wearing a suit of armor, a short sword hanging from his waist, and ten arrows on his shoulder, was running hard, and behind him, a burly man had been following behind, and from time to time he hit the child's immature back with his scabbard. This kid is Zhao Jie, and the big man is naturally Zhao Jiansheng. It wasn't until the sun rose that the sight disappeared. But not long after, the child was forced by the big man to run to the armory room and get an unopened sword, and then ran to a tree or strike, or split, or stab, or cut, and the same big man still struck the child's immature back with his scabbard from time to time. Such a sight became the norm over the next year. Of course, Zhao Jiansheng did not teach Zhao Jie martial arts every day, he often needed to guard Zhao Dan when he was out, so sometimes he would assign tasks to Zhao Jie in advance and send his subordinates to supervise, and sometimes he would also let his subordinates teach Zhao Jie equestrian and archery. But don't think that you can be lazy in this way, every time he comes back, he will check, if he finds that Zhao Jie is lazy, what awaits Zhao Jie will be a merciless whipping.

In this way, Zhao Jie began his ascetic-like martial arts career!
