Chapter 1 The little prince returns to Beijing
Looking at the familiar Bianliang City in front of him, Zhao Xiaoxi, who choked the horse under him, also sighed that time was like flowing water. In an instant, he came to this familiar and strange era, and it has been a full eighteen years. At the beginning, the little prince of the palace who was babbling when he was first born became a seven-foot man in the wind at this time.
Saying that this era is familiar, it is Zhao Xiaoxi who has lived here for 18 years, and when he first came here, he also learned about its development history, and there is almost no change from the history of this era that he knew in his previous life. In other words, he came to the period of the ancient feudal dynasty in his previous life, the Song Dynasty that was about to be eliminated from the wave of history.
said that this era is unfamiliar, but Zhao Xiaoxi went out to travel over the years, and found that this exact point should be called the era of the Northern Song Dynasty, which has become a little different from history. Because of the years of practicing martial arts abroad, Zhao Xiaoxi was surprised to find that a character in a martial arts novel he loved in his previous life really lived in this time and space.
Tianlong Babu, this martial arts masterpiece written by Jin Lao, the most well-known martial arts novel writer in China in his previous life, can be said to have influenced countless Chinese martial arts fans. Of course, it also includes Zhao Xiaoxi, who is now reincarnated as a royal descendant of the Zhao dynasty. In fact, until now, Zhao Xiaoxi has not figured out how he was reborn in such a bizarre time and space.
Since learning about this world, there is really a beggar gang, and Qiao Feng, the tragic hero that Zhao Xiaoxi loves the most, is the heir to the most prestigious young gang leader of the beggar gang at this moment. As for the confused monk Xuzhu, who was so lucky, when he led the hair to practice martial arts in Shaolin Temple, Zhao Xiaoxi was also commensurate with the other party as a senior brother.
Of course, the Xuzhu monk at this moment, before he met the odd encounter, was still the honest monk in the Shaolin Temple who adhered to the rules and precepts. As for the next, whether he can become the adventure boy written by Jin Lao, it will take time to verify.
In addition, the Dali Duan Shizi, who can be described as surrounded by beautiful women, although Zhao Xiaoxi has not seen each other, he also understands that he does exist in Dali today. According to the report of the spies dispatched, this prince who was later obsessed with the fairy sister was really like the infatuated person in Jin Lao's pen, who did not love martial arts but also knew how to be gentle and elegant, and the title of nerd was a headache for his father and uncle.
As for this Duan Shizi's father, the prince of Zhennan, as always, he has a ** surname, and he owes a lot of ** debts outside. didn't know that Duan Yu, the son of the world who he regarded as his own son, was born to his crippled cousin by his original wife, who brought him a green hat. This may be a kind of retribution for his sins!
In addition to these three protagonists who have left the world with infinite imagination from the righteous knot Jin Lan, there is another important reason why Zhao Xiaoxi can confirm that he came to the time and space where Tianlong Babu is located. That is, the master he worshipped in Shaolin, and the Shaolin top-level internal strength Yijin Sutra that he learned there, were all confirmed according to the plot in the novel.
For many entourages who don't know why this little prince wants to find a Shaolin sweeping monk as a master, only Zhao Xiaoxi knows very well. That is one of the most powerful **oss in the Eight Divisions of the Heavenly Dragon, in Shaolin except for this low-key but powerful sweeping monk, who else is more qualified than him to be the master of Zhao Xiaoxi, the little prince?
And Zhao Xiaoxi, who knows how important an exercise is to martial arts practitioners, how could he miss Shaolin's highest internal strength and heart method, Yijin Jing? According to the introduction of the novel that can be said to be ripe in the previous life, Zhao Xiaoxi took a step ahead of the Azhu girl and took out the Yijin Sutra hidden in the bronze mirror of the Jing Pavilion.
Relying on this Shaolin top-level internal strength method, Zhao Xiaoxi finally let the sweeping monk break the precept and taught Zhao Xiaoxi, a lay disciple, the Shaolin 72 stunts. Of course, Zhao Xiaoxi also knew very well in his heart that if he didn't have the identity of a descendant of the Zhao family's royal family, he might not be able to get such an ungodly benefit.
When the sweeping monk discovered that Zhao Xiaoxi's martial arts talent was beyond his imagination, and determined that there was nothing to teach this apprentice martial arts, he finally let Zhao Xiaoxi Yicheng go down the mountain. And the two procedures for Shaolin lay disciples to go down the mountain, the sweeping monk who didn't want Zhao Xiaoxi to expose his identity, finally let Zhao Xiaoxi not have to fight the wooden people and the eighteen bronze people, and let him leave the temple under the pretext of returning to the capital to perform the crown ceremony.
When leaving Shaolin, the sweeping monk once warned Zhao Xiaoxi earnestly that those who practice martial arts must value martial arts and avoid indiscriminate violence. Zhao Xiaoxi, who is now down the mountain, is compared with the first-class masters in the rivers and lakes, what he lacks is actual combat. If Zhao Xiaoxi can be familiar with the martial arts he has learned, then it will not be a problem for him to become a top master in the rivers and lakes.
It was at the age of thirteen that he went to Shaolin and went down the mountain at the age of eighteen, and Zhao Xiaoxi's martial arts cultivation speed in five years was not fast. Of course, this is related to the fact that Zhao Xiaoxi, whether in his past or present life, is obsessed with the surname of ancient Chinese martial arts. In addition, he is not the eldest son of Xu Wangfu, and he has shown abnormal intelligence since birth, so he will be allowed by his father Xu Wang Zhao Hao to go to Shaolin to practice martial arts as a lay disciple.
Just as Zhao Xiaoxi was sitting on a horse and staring at the imperial city in front of him, he followed the several palace guards who were protecting him. also knows that this little prince is not as reckless and carefree as they imagined. On the contrary, in the five years that Shaolin Temple accompanied them, they really admired the vision and far-sighted layout of this little prince.
Does anyone know that this little prince of King Xu's mansion, who left the imperial city in the name of practicing martial arts, will practice martial arts in Shaolin Temple for five years. Relying on his own ability and means, he set up a 'cloth pavilion' intelligence network in the Song Dynasty that went up to the princes and nobles and down to the peddlers and pawns. Even when he was practicing martial arts in Shaolin, he knew every move in the imperial city.
In addition to the intelligence network of 'Buyi Pavilion', which is now distributed in the major cities of the Song Dynasty in the name of darts, and even the dart bureaus set up in the frontiers, are actually all military forces secretly formed and funded by Zhao Xiaoxi?
Compared with his father, who is in the position of the prince, although he has the position of the prince, it is like being imprisoned in the capital and cannot leave the capital at will. And I knew in advance that the person who would take over the current emperor would be his cousin Zhao Xu, who was four years younger than him.
Zhao Xiaoxi intended to play with each other when he was young, so that after this cousin became the leader of a country, he, the son of the second uncle whom the new emperor was jealous of, was left by Te Hao because of his close relationship and went to Shaolin Temple to practice martial arts. Compared with Zhao Xiaoxi's eldest brother Zhao Xiaoqian, the son of Yang Wangfu, he didn't have such good luck, and he was also ordered to stay in the capital as a prince and son.
The four guards with knives who have become Zhao Xiaoxi's henchmen, among them, Zhao Da, who was given the surname Zhao by Zhao Xiaoxi, stepped forward and said: "Little prince, it's not too early, let's hurry into the city!" ”
Zhao Xiaoxi, who was interrupted from his thoughts, looked at the four of them, the guards who accompanied him in the Shaolin Temple, and said with a smile: "I have been in the Monk Temple for a long time, and I am still a little uncomfortable to suddenly see such a lively imperial city. I haven't been home for five years, and my son can't wait to see his parents. Zhao Da, after returning home, the four of you will also go home to see your wives and children.
If nothing else, you all have to be prepared to move out of the capital. In a short time, I am afraid it will be difficult for us to return to the capital. In addition, the Beijing branch was notified to increase the collection of espionage reports on the four roads of Bashu. The next place we need to stay for a long time is probably going to be there. ”
Zhao Xiaoxi, who returned to the capital this time, came back to see his parents who had not seen him for five years, and secondly, came to the time of the crown ceremony. As the second son, he is not qualified to inherit his father's throne. This means that he is likely to be released from the capital and serve in the provincial capitals under the rule of the Song Dynasty.
After careful consideration by Zhao Xiaoxi, he finally chose Bashu, which now borders Dali. He hoped to go there and accumulate strength in an attempt to save the Northern Song Dynasty, which was about to collapse. In any case, Cho Hyo-seok, who believes in the truth that 'a soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier'.
Zhao Xiaoxi, who was born in this era and understood what fate this dynasty would go in the future, replaced this sentence that he had followed in his previous life with 'a royal child who doesn't want to be an emperor is not a good royal child'. While showing his intelligent side, he also disguised himself as a martial artist who preferred to practice martial arts, so as to reduce the attention of others to him.
Although Zhao Xiaoxi has never understood why he came to the end of the coming Northern Song Dynasty, he still strangely interspersed him with a real identity in the novel. But Zhao Xiaoxi still felt that he had to fulfill what he thought in his previous life and compete with Qiao Feng to talk about his brother's dream, and at the same time, he also wanted to save this precarious dynasty surnamed Zhao.
This is Zhao Xiaoxi's decision to recognize the reality and set himself the decision of 'grasping with both hands and being hard with both hands'. At the same time, he also believes that as long as he can become the person who turns things around in the world of Tianlong Babu.
The integration of martial arts practitioners who are now more patriotic than the civil and military generals of the imperial court, when foreign invasions are carried out in the future, these integrated martial arts armies will make those foreigners fearful. That is, to give those martial artists the opportunity to serve the country loyally, and let them vent the strength of those who practice martial arts to those foreign invaders who kill their surnames, isn't it a good thing to kill two birds with one stone?
Of course, Cho Hyo-seok knows very well that his ideals and ambitions are very good, but it is not so easy to realize. After all, this is like the ambition of plotting to usurp the throne, and one careless will not make him a hero, but will become a pillar of shame engraved on the rebels. It is said that history is written by the victor, and Zhao Xiaoxi must become the victor if he does not want to become the disgraced person who seeks to usurp the throne.
Now the 'Cloth Pavilion' intelligence system he has established, as well as the team of dart masters composed of idle warriors, will become the force he hides in the shadows to lay out everything. But if he wants to fulfill his ambitions, he must have a base to recuperate. And now Zhao Xiaoxi, who has gone down the mountain, is returning to this imperial city for this base, which seems to be glamorous but is actually cage-like.
Zhao Xiaoxi, who slowly entered the city, showed a hint of firmness in his eyes, and quickly covered it up. Ignoring the warnings of the officers and soldiers defending the city to dismount, he directly accelerated his speed and galloped past. Just when those officers and soldiers were about to make a move, Zhao Da, who was following behind, took out a token of Xu Wangfu, and drank these officers and soldiers who were guarding the city and not act rashly.
When they learned that the person on the white horse was the little prince of the palace and returned to Beijing, the officers and soldiers naturally did not dare to say anything more, and obediently let Zhao Da and others enter the city. The return of Zhao Xiaoxi's ambition will make this imperial city change?
