Chapter 17: Beaten
Zhao Hongxing's operation of pulling out his legs and running made Mr. Cang and Le Aya stunned. Especially Le Aya, who forgot to put down the wooden sword in mid-air while waving it.
Losing the advantage of strength, Zhao Hongxing is a waste in front of Le Aya, if he is cut thirty times by a six-year-old girl on a stick of incense, Zhao Hongxing will have no face to mix in this palace.
After running two steps, Zhao Hongxing glanced back at Le Aya. This girl really hasn't seen this trick during the competition, and she was stunned and didn't know what to do, so she had to ask the teacher for help with her eyes.
Here, Mr. Cang gave Le Aya a look and said, "Go on, catch up!"
The chase battle is a relatively unfamiliar way for Le Aya, because the wind breaking sword technique she practiced is basically a face-to-face within a few moves, and unless the opponent doesn't want to fight at the beginning, how can she still have a chance to turn around and run.
Seeing that the teacher made a look of "catch up and beat him", Le Aya immediately raised her leg and chased after him. Zhao Hongxing saw that this girl was not tall and ran quite fast, so he quickly turned around and slipped away.
"Don't run!" Le Aya roared angrily from behind.
"If you don't chase me, you won't run!" Le Aya's soft voice, the order shouted out did not have any strength, Zhao Hongxing was chased like this, and at the same time, he felt as if he had regained the feeling of chasing and playing in his childhood.
"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" as soon as he found it, he was knocked out by a wooden sword that smashed into his head.
"Ahem, the blow works!" said the referee, Mr. Cang, dutifully.
Le Aya chased several steps but failed to catch up with Zhao Hongxing, and began to hold her breath in her heart, yelling to make him stop, but she didn't expect this guy to be in the mood to play with her. Angry that Le Aya didn't even think about it, and as soon as she raised her hand, she threw the wooden sword out.
didn't aim either, but the wooden sword smashed on Zhao Hongxing's head so coincidentally, smashing Zhao Hongxing, who was trotting with a big mouth, and finally stopped his wandering footsteps.
Zhao Hongxing was smashed by the wooden sword and stopped, and the wooden sword that hit Zhao Hongxing was also bounced up by his hard braincase. Seizing the opportunity, Le Aya ran two steps, jumped up and grabbed the wooden sword that fell from mid-air, and then slashed at the back of Zhao Hongxing's head with a fierce sword.
There was a "bang", and the old gentleman also reported that "the blow is effective".
Zhao Hongxing felt bitter in his heart, although the sword on the back of his head did not hurt, but he felt the slow anger carried by this sword.
After receiving four swords in a moment, Zhao Hongxing hurriedly adjusted his standing posture. As soon as he stood firm, Le Aya's sword swung again.
It is impossible to run, and it is impossible to run when he is entangled, so Zhao Hongxing had to wave the wooden sword in his hand and retreat and fight.
But the reason why Le Aya was favored by Mr. Cang and accepted as a disciple was not only because she practiced the Wind Breaking Sword Technique, but because this girl was talented in using a sword - Le Aya's proficiency in any sword was like her own hand, as long as she could hold it, it could be said that she could swing it smoothly, and the speed of swinging was extremely fast.
Wielding the sword was like instinct to Le Aya. Facing such a talented and hard-working little girl, Zhao Hongxing, who has never gone all out with others, only feels that it is difficult to resist.
While waving the wooden sword in his hand, he stepped back, feeling the feeling of the wooden sword hitting his body, and the sound of Mr. Cang's several consecutive "effective hits", Zhao Hongxing felt that he really had no moves.
This is not half the time when a stick of incense burns, and he is about to take twenty swords.
As a last resort, Zhao Hongxing chose to mobilize the power of the flame bloodline in his body.
Zhao Hongxing would never take the initiative to use the power of the bloodline, because when this power was activated, it was not only the strength of the body that was strengthened, but also the person's head.
Whenever the power was mobilized, Zhao Hongxing's senses would become extremely acute, and the speed of movement of all the objects in his field of vision would open and gradually decrease.
As a modern person who has three views or mainly lives on the earth for more than 20 years, this unfamiliar feeling makes Zhao Hongxing feel very terrifying. It gave him a feeling of uncontrollability over himself.
But now, not to mention whether to win Le Aya or not, even if you want to survive this incense time, you must also use this power.
The power of the bloodline began to run at a high speed, and the speed of Le Aya's sword began to slow down gradually, which gave Zhao Hongxing more time to react to block. But it is limited to parrying, and Zhao Hongxing still has no room for resistance.
In the case of equal power, technology occupies an absolute advantage.
Le Aya also clearly felt that Zhao Hongxing's defense began to get faster, and it was far from being as easy to hit him as it was just now. However, this is not difficult for Le Aya, because this is not the upper limit of her shooting speed, this little girl can still swing faster, and it does not affect the accuracy of the hit at all.
As long as she doesn't run out, Le Aya can maintain this state of swinging the sword at high speed for a long time.
The sound of "bang bang bang" was still ringing, and Zhao Hongxing was forcing himself to use the power of his bloodline with all his might, while he was tired of dealing with Le Aya's stormy attack.
It's just that Zhao Hongxing's use of bloodline power is definitely not as good as Zhao Hongzhe's use, otherwise it would be impossible to beat the little girl Le Aya even if he was strengthened.
In the end, when Zhao Hongxing was slashed by Le Aya's sword thirty times, Mr. Cang shouted "The competition is over". At this time, a stick of incense has burned to the verge of extinguishing.
"It seems that the result is that Aya narrowly defeated His Royal Highness Childe. The old gentleman looked at the pillar of incense and said.
"Well, Princess Le Aya's swordsmanship is really smooth, the sword moves are powerful, the sword is vigorous, and the sword is like a bamboo. Zhao Hongxing was so tired that he squatted on the ground and said perfunctorily, and at the same time, he also asked about a burning smell.
Looking down, the wooden sword in his hand was holding the position by himself and was emitting black smoke, which frightened Zhao Hongxing's hand and quickly threw the wooden sword on the ground.
If you look closely, the entire hilt is already charred and blackened. Zhao Hongxing reacted at this time, this is after he mobilized the power of his blood, the temperature of his body increased, although it was not high enough to ignite the wood, but he also scorched the wooden hilt in his hand.
Old Mr. Cang nodded, Le Aya can force Prince Yanfeng to use the power of the bloodline to fight, which shows that he is indeed a malleable talent, and if he can make this sixth prince use the power of the bloodline every day, it will also help him to become familiar with this power as soon as possible.
However, I really hope that Le Aya's opponent can be a person who has some talent in martial arts, otherwise he will fight against the Six Princes like this every day...... That's not very good news for Le Aya.
"Next time," Le Aya wiped the sweat on her face with her arm and said very seriously, "Next time I will definitely beat you within half a pillar of incense!"
Le Aya's words were very domineering, and Zhao Hongxing had no doubt that she would definitely be able to do what she said, but after this fight, there was a lot less hostility in Le Aya's words, which Zhao Hongxing didn't expect.
How can we also have the function of friendship with girls? Zhao Hongxing pondered in his heart.
Of course, it is definitely not, the reason why Le Aya's mood has changed is that she won against Zhao Hongxing, and she can let her mother stay with her in the capital for a few more days. Otherwise, with Zhao Hongxing's despicable behavior of turning around and running, Le Aya would ignore him.
At the end of the afternoon training (beating), Uncle Wolf, who was holding back a smile, escorted Zhao Hongxing back to his yard.
"Are you happy to see me being beaten!" Zhao Hongxing glanced at Uncle Wolf.
"No, Childe. Uncle Wolf pretended to be serious and denied, but the twitching corners of his mouth had betrayed him.
"......" Zhao Hongxing silently closed his mouth, what can he do if he is seen as a joke, this is not something he can beat.
——————————
Back in the courtyard, Zhao Hongxing saw Hongyi standing at the gate of the courtyard waiting for him.
"Did something happen?" Zhao Hongxing asked Hongyi.
Hongyi doesn't look like a seriously injured person at all now, this morning Imperial Doctor Liu came over to do another examination for Hongyi, not only the qi and blood lost after the injury and poisoning have all recovered, but even the scars on his chest and back that were healed after being penetrated are about to disappear.
Zhao Hongxing estimated that Hongyi wanted to continue to follow him, so let Hongyi continue to stay in the courtyard for a day, and it was estimated that he would be sick.
"Just now, the butler sent someone to deliver a message to me. Letting Zhao Hongxing into the courtyard, Hongyi said as he walked: "The official said that after I recover from my injury, I can follow Commander Lang to learn martial arts together." ”
"Huh?" Zhao Hongxing felt very strange, how could this emperor's father still let the attendants around the prince practice martial arts? Of course, he would definitely not object, just right, someone accompanied him to be beaten.
"This ...... Maybe it's also the official's reward for me, right?" Hongyi said uncertainly.
"Okay, practice, practice. Zhao Hongxing asked, "When do you plan to start?"
"That, Childe, I think...... I want to start tomorrow. Hongyi pleaded, he really didn't want to stay in the courtyard anymore.
"Well, let's wait for Doctor Liu to come over tomorrow morning and take another look. Zhao Hongxing thought for a moment and said, "If your injuries are completely unhindered after Imperial Doctor Liu's examination tomorrow, then from the day after tomorrow, let Uncle Wolf teach you martial arts." ”
"This ......" Hongyi looked at Zhao Hongxing with a bitter face.
"But you can go out with me tomorrow morning, instead of coming to the courtyard. Zhao Hongxing continued.
"Thank you, Childe!" Hongyile blossomed, and the days of not being able to go in the courtyard were finally coming to an end.
Counting the time he spent in a coma in bed, it's been almost a month.
"However, once you feel that your body can't bear it, you have to tell me immediately!" Zhao Hongxing admonished, he was really afraid that Hongyi would not be able to do anything else.
——————————
It was a new morning, and Zhao Hongxing was woken up by Hongyi a little earlier than usual.
It can be seen that Hongyi, who can finally go out, is a little excited. Zhao Hongxing didn't complain anything, there was such a friend by his side, it was much better to be happy than to be by his side all the time.
However, as we approach the end of November, the weather is getting colder. When Zhao Hongxing crawled out of the bed, he shivered while remembering the warm heating in the room before.
After breakfast, Zhao Hongxing and Hongyi set off for the Qinxue Hall together. The dry and cold weather did not affect Hongyi's happy mood at all, although he and Zhao Hongxing had walked this road for several years, but Hongyi was still happy to look left and right.
When the master and servant walked into the diligent hall, the girl Le Aya was already sitting in her place again.
Did such a cold day come so early? Zhao Hongxing was surprised by how diligent this little girl was.
"Morning, Aya. Zhao Hongxing smiled and said hello to Le Aya.
Le Aya turned her head and glanced at Zhao Hongxing fiercely with her white eyes, but she didn't take a stubble at all.
Zhao Hongxing found out that Le Aya not only had a high fighting spirit at the moment, but also a little anger.
Who provoked this little aunt and grandmother? Zhao Hongxing wondered. When I finished "beating" myself yesterday afternoon, I saw that she was in a good mood, why did she get worse today?
Could it be that women have been in a mood since childhood?
