Chapter 340: The Prince
Obsidian August 20, 2020
"Raise your hands higher, be steady when you go down, don't shake!"
I heard that there are a lot of things going on there, and Asuka Zhixin's presence has played a huge role, allowing the people of Nara Island and the soldiers of the old undefeated army to unite and work together for the recovery of Nara Island!
At the same time, Xing Zeyuan really began to teach Sakura Sheng to practice swords, and the sword of Yamato Country is not separated, and the sword is the sword. Sakuramori didn't have much strength, but he still picked up the real knife. It is not difficult to get a real sword in Yamato Country as Xing Zeyuan, but soon a minister came and said that he could not teach Sakura Sheng to practice swords.
In front of the minister, Sakura Mori did not dare to speak, because their current status was equal to that of the monarch, and he could be coquettish in front of his father, but he could not do this in front of the minister. She originally thought that her plan to practice swords was going to be ruined, and she was angry and annoyed in her heart, blaming the old scalper, it must be his complaint.
Xing Zeyuan persuaded the minister to quit for a simple reason, because he wanted to do this, not because Sakura Sheng took the initiative to ask him to teach. Xing Zeyuan spoke politely, saying that when the bird came back, the minister had no choice but to leave. For this reason, Sakura is happy even if his wrists are sore.
With the knife raised above his head, Sakura repeats the simplest action - split!
This movement may seem simple, but it requires strength in the legs and waist, which is difficult for Sakuramori, who has a thin foundation. But she repeated it ten times, and the movements gradually became standard.
"Let's take a break!"
"Okay!"
Sakura Sheng was extremely happy, she had never practiced swords so openly.
"There was a mistake in the back pick action you practiced last time, and today I will teach you the correct posture!"
"Yes, yes!"
Xing Zeyuan poured her tea, and then said:
"I can try to convince the monarch to allow you to practice swords!"
"Forget it, he won't agree!"
"Not necessarily, you'll have to try it. ”
Ying Sheng secretly looked at Xing Zeyuan, and she gradually put away her big personality in front of Xing Zeyuan, because she felt that Xing Zeyuan was very gentle, and if she wanted to match him, she had to show her best side. Her feelings told her it should be!
"Are you getting better?"
"It's much better, but if you want to fully recover, I guess you'll have to wait until September!"
"Physician Witch says you have a lot of old wounds. ”
"It's okay, those old wounds have healed. ”
At the beginning, Xing Zeyuan's injuries were extremely serious, and in addition to his strong recovery, he was unable to recover without the full help of Shishou Jimeng.
"If you feel uncomfortable, be sure to say it. ”
Xing Zeyuan said yes, and looked at Sakura Sheng with surprised eyes, why did her tone suddenly become so gentle? And she also wore light makeup today? Xing Zeyuan didn't dare to think about it, don't be a matter of children's affection, otherwise he will be very upset.
Sakura didn't mention joining the Red Shield Mercenary Group today, in fact, Xing Zeyuan didn't let her join for a reason, and now joining the Red Shield must be implicated, she doesn't want Yamato to just put down a war and cause trouble to the world government.
The strength of the Yamato Kingdom is not weak, but it is not at all comparable to the world government.
"Have you rested?
"Okay!"
"The last time you made a mistake after practicing, it was because you didn't hold the knife in the right way, you need to switch hands in the air and grab the handle with both hands and cut it off. Try it!"
Sakuramori is very serious, and it's always fun to have a time like this.
It is said that you will not be tired of doing what you like, and Sakura practiced all morning, and finally her arms were weak, satisfied and comfortable. After lunch, Hoshi Noribuchi and Sakura went to the moat.
Summer afternoons are a bit muggy, but the riverside is different, where the water and shade bring unique shade. There are stone slabs on the river's edge, and above it is a sloping clover overgrown land.
The clover covers a large area, and its three leaves represent prayer, hope, and love. Xing Zeyuan and Sakura Sheng sat on it, looking across the circular river, a hundred meters away there were women with their children who came to wash clothes, they waved to Xing Zeyuan and Sakuramori, and the latter also raised his arms, as if in response.
"Find a clover grass!"
Taking it off and showing it to Hoshi Zeyuan, Sakura Sheng said:
"It is said that whoever finds a four-leaf clover will find true love, do you know what its fourth leaf represents?"
"Free!"
"Well, one piece of health, one piece of fame, one piece of happiness, and one piece of freedom!"
Sakuramori happily lifted the four-leaf clover above his head, and the slender rhizome dragged the sunken four-leaf clover at the apex, and the fluff on it shone in the colorful sunlight of the branches.
If I find you, can I really get love? Sakura glanced at Xing Zeyuan, lying on the soft lawn.
"What are you going to do in the afternoon?"
"Recuperate, what about you?"
"Hmmm......"
She usually has a lot of things she wants to do, but now she can't find them.
"Let's go learn to play a musical instrument!"
"Good!"
Xing Zeyuan thought that if he learned a musical instrument, even if he couldn't exert a strong amplification like Duan Qin, he could still play solo for Youyou.
"We're going now, what do you want to learn?"
"Harmonica!"
"Why?"
"Because you can take it with you!"
This reason is valid, Sakura thought about it, and then said:
"I'm going to learn Guzheng!"
Carrying a guzheng and wearing a long skirt, that kind of self must be very attractive, right? Sakura thought to himself, his face flushed!
They really learned, slowly, but very attentively.
Two days later, Asuka Zhixin returned, and he summoned the historian to make a historical record, and this time the matter was very important. Before he had time to rest, Asuka began to weigh the food supply of Nara Island and Midorichu Island. The latter is fine, but there is a serious shortage of food on Nara Island, and grain can only be transported from Haishu Island and Asuka Island, and the harvest will not be relieved until this autumn.
Many of the soldiers who had been captured by the undefeated army had returned home, and they had followed the king's will to grow a large number of high-yielding crops, and now it was August, hoping to harvest something, otherwise they would not even survive this winter.
When everything is going on in an orderly manner, Asuka comes to see Xing Zeyuan in letters.
There are only three people sitting in the room, Asuka Zhixin, Xing Zeyuan and Asuka Xueliang.
"Xing Zeyuan, you are younger than me, I will call you by your full name for the time being. ”
"It's okay, I'm a junior!"
Xing Zeyuan is modest, and Asuka Zhixin naturally didn't take it seriously, otherwise it would be a joke!
"You played a very important role in this battle, and the Eight Miscellaneous Snake was defeated by you alone, you can be described as a hero of our country, in addition to awarding you the honor of the prince, you can put forward everything you need!"
Although Asuka Zhixin was tired, his eyes were blazing, and he hoped that Xing Zeyuan would make some requests, so that he could be relieved, at least he would not owe him anything. Although he knew that Xing Zeyuan was the adopted son of Hanaxi Ichiro, Xing Zeyuan had no obligation to fight for them.
"Now that the country of Yamato is tense, I don't need anything!"
Xing Zeyuan said again:
"If it weren't for Ichiro's father, I'm afraid I would have starved to death in the filthy and filthy alleys, so I'm also half a Yamato countryman, and the title of prince is enough!"
Asuka Zhixin nodded, Xing Zeyuan's words had come to this point, and it was naturally inconvenient for him to say more.
"Prince, you are now ...... Single?"
Xing Zeyuan immediately thought of Sakuramori.
"No, I already belong!"
Xing Zeyuan was afraid that something ridiculous would happen, so he immediately expressed his attitude.
"Alright then, I'm going to take care of some things now, I'm afraid I'm going to be out of company. If you have something to do, you can come directly to the palace to find me, you are welcome! You do your best for the Yamato country, and the Yamato country is your home. ”
"Yes, Sovereign!"
"King!"
Asuka Xueliang reminded that Asuka Zhixin hurriedly stroked his forehead, he almost forgot something.
"I'm going to ask for your opinion to see if the identity of the prince is revealed!"
"No need to announce it!"
Xing Zeyuan was resolute when he said this, although he didn't understand why, but Asuka Zhixin still agreed.
"Well, I respect your opinion. But the army already knows who you are, doesn't it matter?
"Keep it a secret! Don't let more people know!"
"Good!"
They left, leaving only Xing Zeyuan alone, he lay on the bed with his head on his pillow, looking at the white ceiling.
The war ended more easily than he thought, so what should he do in the next moment? How can he improve his strength? This is an unanswered question, and he is thinking carefully.
Suddenly, a warm current passed through Xing Zeyuan's body, and he sat up suddenly, his translucent chest like a sea of stars. A small star cluster emerged from the vast sea, and the three small star clusters slowly gathered together, spinning and accelerating to merge into one.
The appearance of a large star cluster is like a rising orange sun, and the breath of Xing Zeyuan is thus enhanced, and the last small star cluster was obtained more than four months ago, and four months have passed in the blink of an eye, and it is not only time that has changed!
A man pushed open the door and walked up to him. The girl is 1.6 meters away, wearing a cyan kimono, and her short hair on the right side is tucked behind her ears.
"Sakuramori, what's wrong?"
"I just wanted to come to you. ”
A few days of getting along is not as long as the time counted in years, but Xing Zeyuan has a good feeling for Sakura and can be good friends with each other. But she doesn't think so, how can it be enough to be friends? Friends can't hold hands?
She sat on a chair and said to Xing Zeyuan:
"Let's go practice the sword!"
"Good!"
I don't know what's wrong, Sakura suddenly asked Xing Zeyuan.
"Will you stay in Yamato Province forever?"
"Probably not, I'm going to leave after a while. ”
"How long is it going to be?"
"Before winter. ”
Xing Zeyuan is also very confused now, he doesn't know where he can go, he can't go back to the Western Regions Realm now, and he won't be found if he doesn't have an identity card if he stays back for a few months. But he can't stay in Yamato all the time, he can't improve his strength here, he needs someone to lead him to become stronger, Winged Hand has already told him that their power can be urged together at most ten times, which means that he can't use it at will, and it also means that if he wants to become stronger, he still has to rely on himself!
"Can you leave later? Wait until March next year, when the cherry trees will bloom!"
"It depends!"
Xing Zeyuan sat on the stone chair, leaning on the round stone table, his demeanor was free and easy, and the corners of his mouth habitually brought a smile that made people not worry. He didn't dare to make random promises, because promises had to be fulfilled!
"The cherry blossoms in Hudu are beautiful, and there is a cherry blossom rain in April. ”
"Some anticipation!"
"So...... Don't be in a hurry!
There was a little pleading in Sakura's eyes, but fortunately, Xing Zeyuan nodded and said okay, otherwise she didn't know what to do. When you like someone, you may become humble because you care so much about them that you forget your original temper.
Xing Zeyuan likes to be calm, wants to live a quiet life all the time, and is with the person he loves, he will cook food for the person he likes every day, and will bring her a little surprise to make her happy. But that fantasy was too far away from him, just like the distance between Sakura and Xing Zeyuan in his heart.
They have never had physical contact, but Xing Zeyuan can always warm a person's heart unintentionally. The protagonist of each story will have a lot of the opposite sex around him, and the reason is that they are good enough!
"The monarch didn't mention your sword training today. ”
"That's acquiescence!"
Sakura's face was like a warm flower, and she smiled, in exchange for Xing Zeyuan's instant joy.
