"The Struggle of the Reborn King"

The area of the summer courtyard is half larger than the winter garden, now the weather is cold, the flowers and plants planted in the yard have withered, the huge yard seems empty, there are not many people who have moved over, only to see Xi and Fengxi with six small yellow doors, and then osmanthus, acacia and two little maids, and the small kitchen is equipped with two cooks, specially serving Zhao Ta.

Zhao Ta stepped up the three steps and walked into the main house, according to custom, the first day of October began to light a fire in the house to keep warm, the earth dragons in all parts of the house have been lit, after a few days of baking, the house is already warm. The ground is all covered with a wooden floor more than half an inch thick, the wall is covered with light blue silk cloth, the roof is hung with a ceiling, there are eight main rooms, the middle two are halls, then he knew that the ancients of Lu Dao were divided by pillars, this room span is large, the amount of space is also large, the two main halls are 100 square meters, the middle is separated by a hardwood screen, divided into two rooms before and after. The front hall is where the guests are entertained, and the back hall is the dining room, with a door leading to the backyard.

Zhao Ta occupies the three rooms on the east side alone, which have been divided according to his meaning, a bit of a modern four-bedroom and a living room. The largest one serves as his small study and small living room, and the two sunny rooms serve as his bedrooms. A small house on the side was occupied by a maid on night duty, and the furniture and daily necessities were all replaced with new ones.

The back room is the bathroom, which has been made in imitation of his original room, with a marble floor on the floor, and a huge bathtub and toilet bowl and a set of toiletries in it, in order to ensure that he can take a bath at any time, this is adjacent to the fire room of the burning dragon, where the water is warm, as long as this side is instructed, the small yellow door of the fire over there will send the water to the bath through the pipe, which is very convenient.

In order to ensure his safety, a secret room was also built in the house as a passage for him to avoid danger and escape in an emergency. The three rooms on the west side are the lower rooms, where a few people live in the osmanthus flowers, and the rest of the empty rooms are temporarily used as warehouses. Outside, there are two rooms in the house, and there are a few small yellow doors to the east, and the kitchen and the kitchen's dormitory to the west.

After all, the Zhao family will win the world immediately, and whether to practice martial arts or not is another matter, but the martial arts arena is a must. The whole backyard was repaired and leveled, pressed with stone grinders, eighteen kinds of weapons were placed on the weapon rack, a stone lock for training strength was placed on the ground, three arrow stacks were erected against the wall, and sandbags and wooden figures for practice were placed on the side.

Zhao Ta walked to the weapon rack, picked up the smallest three-bucket bow, and made a lunge like the ancients who had seen archery on TV in the past, and used it violently, the bow was only slightly bent, and no matter how hard he tried, there was still no change, but he was sweating all over his body, and he shook his head in frustration and threw the bow on the shelf. Looking at the spears and knives on the shelf, listening to the laughter of the two guards, I don't even have the interest to try, I'm really too weak, don't be ashamed here.

"What are you laughing at, when you were seven years old, you could shoot arrows with a bow? I'm afraid you won't be able to shoot a single stone of the bow now! Hearing the ridicule of the two guards, seeing that he was not happy, he glared at the two guys and said indignantly.

"Sizzle! Big brother, shoot an arrow to show them, don't weaken your reputation as a race to the top! Yang Feng, the younger guard, said to Meng Tao, another guard.

"Okay, let's show our hands, don't let people think that the two of us get twenty taels of silver for nothing every month!" Saiguansuo stepped forward with a chuckle, looked at the bow on the weapon rack, and actually chose Zhang Liangshi, stretched out his hand to play the string of the slingshot, and pulled out three arrows from the quiver on the side and buckled them in his hand.

"Hmph, Changjun dares to be called Saiguansuo if he is a little handsome, don't be reckless, flash your waist!" Jianxi pursed his lips and said, he has never eaten pork, only seen pigs running, but he also knows that Lu Dao can't pull the two-stone bow without four or five hundred catties of strength on his shoulder.

"Is Guan Suo famous, who is he?" Zhao Ta took two steps back to open the door and asked curiously.

"Second master, legend has it that Guan Suo is the youngest son of the martial saint Guan Yunchang, a young beauty, he is strong in martial arts, he is really beautiful and brave, and has the reputation of 'hero man'. Jianxi hurriedly explained to him.

"Oh!" Zhao Ta nodded, it turned out to be an advertising slogan, this is the same as those kings and nobles in the previous life, they all want to rely on this to boost their popularity, but he looks at this Saiguansuo with calm steps but does not look like a shelf.

Meng Tao also held his breath, he was also a young martial artist, learned a gun and stick kung fu, and was proficient in everything immediately, at the age of fifteen, he was already able to open a two-stone bow, and then traveled to the rivers and lakes, and broke through the name of Saiguansuo, and later in order to avoid revenge, he had to hide in the Guogong Mansion, and was sent here, but now he is ridiculed by a guy who has no eggs. ,

Only listening to the three string sounds of 'whoosh', Zhao Ta's kung fu turned his face, Meng Tao had already fired three arrows in a row, and when he fixed his eyes to watch, Meng Tao had already collected his bow, and the three arrows were almost connected end to end, firmly on the arrow target fifty meters away, squeezed on the red heart.

"Good, good archery!" Zhao Ta clapped his hands and jumped to his feet like a child, secretly surprised in his heart, "He shoots arrows so fast, even if he uses a gun, he can't please him face to face!" ”

"Second master, carving insect skills, it's ugly!" Meng Tao looked at Jianxi, who had not yet come back to his senses, and said with a smile.

"Meng Guardian Divine Skill, the villain is really blind, and he will have to rely on the two more in the future!" Seeing that he was a bachelor, he immediately admitted it.

"See you, what you say doesn't count, punish you for buying a jar of wine for the two guards!" Zhao Ta followed and said with a smile.

"No need for the second master to say, the younger one must ask the two brothers to drink and make amends!" Miki said.

"Where do you dare to let Xiye break the bank, we will have to rely on Xiye to take care of it in the future, our brothers should have invited Xiye to drink!" As if he had walked through the rivers and lakes, Yang Feng hurriedly took over.

"Brother Feng's words are not right, this wine should be invited by the master, if there is a chance, we will invite it back, and the second master must appreciate it when the time comes!" Meng Tao said with a little dissatisfaction, Yang Feng smiled awkwardly, and began to make friends with Jianxi again. As soon as the words were spoken, a few people laughed, and the unhappiness just now disappeared, and after such a fuss, everyone's relationship seemed to be closer.

"I envy the kung fu of the two elder brothers, and I will teach the younger brother two hands one day!" Zhao Ta said with a smile as he clasped his fists.

"The second master has a noble status, and he can learn from us, which is the blessing of the little ones, I can't ask for it!" Yang Feng replied immediately.

"I think the second master is afraid that he won't be able to endure this hardship, practicing martial arts is not a matter of one or two days, and the second master is not very well, like a serious illness at the beginning of recovery..." Meng Tao didn't seem very happy, and said with a frown.

"It's good that the second master is happy, tomorrow we will start teaching the second master to practice boxing!" Yang Feng ripped off his shirt behind him to prevent Meng Tao from talking any more.

"Okay, it's a word, I'll wait for the two masters tomorrow morning!" Zhao Ta squinted at Yang Feng, who was talking eloquently, and then at Meng Tao behind him, and suddenly pursed his lips and smiled with a hint of playfulness imperceptibly.

······

The sky was bright, the rooster crowed all over Zhao Ta woke up, he hurriedly washed his face, deliberately put on a short dress, osmanthus was afraid that he would freeze, and put on a fox skin shoulder for him, clean up, Zhao Ta with still rubbing his eyes to see the joy of the people.

"Second master, why don't you go to the garden today for an early walk?" Seeing that Xi Meng found that they were going in the wrong direction today, he hurriedly asked.

"Didn't we say yesterday that we were going to practice with Meng Jiaotou, did you drink and drink confused last night!" Zhao Ta said as he walked.

"Oh!" Seeing Xi remembering yesterday's appointment this time, he always thought that Zhao Ta was a child talking about playing on a whim, but he didn't expect the prince to take it seriously.

As soon as Zhao Ta passed through the Houzhao Building, he heard the shouts of the guards in the changing room, and he couldn't help but speed up his pace, "Second Master, you are here!" When several guards saw Zhao Ta and them coming over, they stopped their movements and bowed down to say hello.

"Okay, where is Master Meng, has he arrived?" Zhao Tan asked with a smile and nodded.

"Master Meng has arrived early, over there, I'll call him!" A guard pointed to Meng Tao, who was boxing in the middle of the field.

"Master Meng is early!" Zhao Tan arched his hand and said.

"Second master is early!" Seeing Zhao Ta give a salute, Meng Tao was stunned for a moment and hurriedly flashed to the side and said in return, although the old master did not say who the person he wanted to protect, but who is the grandson of the national abbot, he can also think of the identity of this child with his heels, how dare he accept the salute, but he was still surprised, yesterday he just thought it was a joke, but he didn't expect the second master to really come today.

"Master Meng, let's get started!" Zhao Ta didn't talk nonsense, and said with a smile.

"Okay, has the second master studied martial arts in the past?"

"I've always been weak, and my family hasn't arranged for a master to teach me!"

"Well, let's start with the most basic kung fu!" Meng Tao nodded and said, then pricked the horse step, and explained while demonstrating: "The horse step is the basic skill for entry, so that the practice of qi can not only enhance the strength of the shins, but also prevent the qi and blood from floating, and can fix the plate." When standing, the feet should be parallel, the toes are slightly buckled inward, the two feet are three feet wide apart, the ten toes grasp the ground, the body squats, the knees do not exceed the toes, the upper body is straight, the body is on the top, the hands are crossed at the waist, the shoulders are loose, the waist is loose, the hips are loose, the two eyes are in front of the eye, the breath is natural, and the qi runs through the dantian. ”
