Lan Yanru went out, which made Chu Jing feel very surprised, why was it so coincidental that Lan Yanru would go out at this time? Chu Jing was a little suspicious that the organization she belonged to had come to her again.

Chu Jing simply sat down and waited, chatting with Qin Yingran with each other.

Through communication, Chu Jing found that although Qin Yingran is a princess, she does not have the so-called princess disease, which is understandable, after all, several princes in the palace are quite scheming, fighting for power and profit all day long, how much favor can she, a princess, get.

Qin Yingran doesn't know martial arts, and spends her days reading some books all day long, in Chu Jing's opinion, she is really boring and pitiful.

Look at Shen Xiaoye, you can go anywhere with martial arts, even if you can't go out for the time being, you can wait until your martial arts are higher.

Qin Yingran, she doesn't know martial arts, Chu Jing definitely doesn't dare to let her go out alone, but Chu Jing can't stay with her all the time, like a canary in a cage, without the slightest freedom at all.

Chu Jing thought for a moment, "Otherwise, I'll teach you martial arts, do you want to learn it?"

"Martial arts?" Qin Yingran put down the book and asked suspiciously, "Why should I learn martial arts?"

The palace is heavily guarded, and there is no need for the princesses to learn martial arts, and the emperor does not want the princess to be too rude and cause trouble, so it is forbidden for women to practice martial arts.

Chu Jing explained: "It's very beneficial to learn martial arts, you see that I am the city lord, I have to be stationed outside and fight, I can't be by your side every day, if your martial arts are strong enough, you can follow me, and you go out alone, I can rest assured." ”

"You mean like Xiaoye?"

"Yes. Chu Jing replied.

Qin Yingran's autumn-like eyes turned a few times, and there was still the light of wisdom in it.

She is not an ordinary person who is not qualified to receive nine years of compulsory education, in the palace, Qin Yingran has several teachers, although she is not as good as the princes to learn the art of governing the country and the emperor, but she is also familiar with most of the classics and history, and she is definitely a knowledgeable and wise person.

Qin Yingran, who was deeply influenced by the idea of concubines competing for favor in the palace, immediately felt that being able to accompany Chu Jing at all times would definitely greatly improve her status in Chu Jing's harem.

Qin Ying Ranyu clenched her hands, made up her mind, and announced: "I want to learn martial arts, learn martial arts as powerful as Zirui." ”

“......”

Chu Jing was speechless, Qin Yingran's lofty goals were naturally good, but ...... The level of Zirui is impossible for ordinary people to reach when they cultivate to death, which requires extremely high opportunities and talents.

However, Chu Jing didn't decide to dampen Qin Yingran's enthusiasm, "Okay, then you prepare first today, and we can learn martial arts tomorrow." ”

Of course, this preparation is clothes and hairstyles.

Qin Yingran was wearing a gorgeous dress customized in the palace, and her hair was carefully combed and tied by the maids, so she couldn't make too drastic moves.

After waiting for a while, Lan Yanru came back, she also had a mustard seed bag in her hand, and she didn't have any newly bought goods in her hand.

"Young Master Chu, you're back!"

Lan Yanru was very excited to see Chu Jing, and hurriedly stepped forward.

Chu Jing held it in his arms, "I haven't seen you for a while, do you miss me very much?"

"I want to, every day. ”

In front of Qin Yingran, Lan Yanru is not shy, she has been professionally trained, and she is not comparable to ordinary little girls.

Qin Yingran couldn't stand it, picked up her book, "I'm going back to the room." ”

In the entire hall, only Chu Jing and Lan Yanru were left.

After being tired of crooking for a while, Chu Jing suddenly reached out and pinched Lan Yanru's pretty nose and asked, "Say, are you still in contact with those people?"

Lan Yanru didn't hide it, and said directly: "The Holy Maiden hasn't contacted me for a long time, and she probably forgot about me." ”

"Didn't contact you? Did you contact her...... Zeng Fangzhou and others?"

"None of them contact me, so how can I contact them?"

Chu Jing asked again, "Then where did you go out just now?"

"Rouge gouache, always stay in the martial arts hall, very, very stuffy. ”

Chu Jing was relieved at this time, but he didn't know where Shangguan Xiaobai was now and what he was planning, if he dared to deal with the Seven Princes, it might bring a lot of variables.

After a while, Shen Xiaoye also returned to Xiaoye Building.

She glanced at Chu Jing coldly, she didn't feel strange because he was here, her expression was indifferent and terrifying, it seemed that she was still resentful of the last time he refused to take her to Renjin City.

"The weather is good today......" Chu Jing said.

Shen Xiaoye put the Qiushui Sword on the table, sat down, and did not speak.

Chu Jing said again: "I came this time to take you away. ”

Shen Xiaoye's eyes lit up, stared at Chu Jing tightly, and asked, "Why?"

Hearing Chu Jing's intention to take Lan Yanru and even Qin Yingran away, this is very unreasonable, neither of them can do martial arts, how can they be taken to the battlefield with a very high risk factor.

Chu Jing didn't say it explicitly, and simply explained: "It's going to be a war, and it's safer by my side." ”

Shen Xiaoye frowned, but he didn't ask much, his father was very powerful, but it didn't mean that he was invincible, at least the woman named Zirui next to Chu Jing didn't regard his father as a powerful opponent.

After Shen Yunhe's explanation, Shen Xiaoye also knew the horror of the shape-shifting demon beasts, in the major demon beast domains of the Xinguo, there has not been a shape-shifting one so far, Shen Yunhe once slaughtered the demon beast domain, and he has the most right to speak.

"Oh. ”

Shen Xiaoye picked up the sword and went upstairs, a simple word can be regarded as a promise, maybe.

Chu Jing didn't rush to visit Shen Yunhe, the current situation was no longer something he understood, and Chu Jing had Zirui here, so he didn't need the help of this master.

Chu Jing also stayed in Xiaoye Tower, but the matter of his arrival was kept secret, and only Shen Xiaoye, Qin Yingran, and Lan Yanru knew.

Moreover, Chu Jing stared at Lan Yanru all day long, not letting her take a step out of her sight.

The next day, seeing Qin Yingran, dressed in simple white, with a long ponytail, and a little cuteness in her heroic spirit, Chu Jing knew that she was ready to learn martial arts.

The location of Xiaoye Building is remote, and there will not be any disciples coming, and the flat open space in front of it happens to be the place where Chu Jing teaches Qin Yingran.

Shen Xiaoye and Lan Yanru were also watching from the side.

Shen Xiaoye asked Qin Yingran, "Since you want to learn martial arts, why don't you look for me, I can pass on the Thirteen Swords of Qiushui to you." ”

Hearing this, Chu Jing said: "Can the thirteen swords of Qiushui be passed on? And it's not good for girls to fight and kill with swords. ”

"Nonsense!" Shen Xiaoye angrily approached Chu Jing, cocked his head, and said loudly, "How is it not good for women to use swords, I use swords!"

Shen Xiaoye said to Qin Yingran again: "My father is just one of my daughters, I can pass on this Qiushui Thirteen Swords to whoever I want, he has nothing to say." ”

Qin Yingran looked at Chu Jing on the left, and then turned to the right to look at Shen Xiaoye, she didn't know much about the power of the Thirteen Swords of Qiushui, but in the martial arts hall, the youngest, Shen Xiaoye's strength was the strongest, which was enough to prove that the Thirteen Swords of Qiushui were very easy to learn.

Shen Yunhe seems to be even more powerful, maybe he can reach his level.

However, Qin Yingran wanted to know about Chu Jing's proposal.

Chu Jing took out three willow leaf darts, the golden darts were like small spear tips, and there were red dart spikes behind them.

Qin Yingran thought this dart was very interesting, and held it in her hand and watched it repeatedly.

Shen Xiaoye looked at Liu Ye's dart blankly, and couldn't help but sarcastically: "Chu Jing, who used to run a caravan for a little bit of silver, is now rich, and even the darts are made of gold." ”

Chu Jing is also short of materials, only gold in the mustard seed bag is more suitable for making darts, the hardness is not bad, and it can also be used as a work of art.

Chu Jing's craftsmanship is not good, but his strength is enough, and the hardness of gold is not enough in front of the master, and Chu Jing also spent a long time to create these three darts.

"Okay, that's what I'll learn. ”

Qin Yingran immediately decided to learn how to use a dart, compared to fighting with a sword in close quarters, the dart is more in line with her character, and the risk of being hurt is also low.

Since Qin Yingran agreed to learn darts, Shen Xiaoye didn't force it, if she hadn't learned swords first, she would definitely have chosen darts like works of art.

Chu Jing asked Lan Yanru again, "Do you want to study together?"

Lan Yanru shook her head, indicating that she didn't need it.

For Lan Yanru, Chu Jing is not worried, although Lan Yanru has not shown martial arts, but she is also in charge of the Nuanchun Pavilion, and she has a little research on illusions, and she generally has no problem when she walks outside.

Wisdom and experience are far more practical than martial arts.

Chu Jing is not good at darts either, but he has Yan Qing's inheritance, all weapons are automatically proficient, and the silver needles and darts used by Dongfang Undefeated also have similarities.

The method that Chu Jing gave to Qin Yingran to cultivate internal strength was just to teach, Chu Jing was not ready to let her cultivate hard, but was ready to go to the secret realm to get the spar again and take a shortcut.

However, Qin Yue said that the spar can indeed improve the internal strength of the martial artist, but there is also a flaw, that is, it cannot be realm.

Each level of the martial artist's realm is accumulated step by step, and with the spar alone, he may be able to reach the peak of the current realm, but it is very difficult to continue to move forward, because the understanding and perception of the realm are far from enough.

Chu Jing has a heritage, and the strength of his own inheritance is much higher than his own, so he doesn't have to worry about the realm at all.

It is used for Qin Yingran, on the one hand, Qin Yingran's martial arts are not necessarily too strong, on the other hand, the perception is not ineffable, and with the guidance of a good master, it is not difficult to break through the realm.

Just as Qi Lin fell into the trap left by the immortal real person, he immediately broke through to the second time of the Nine Lives and Nine Deaths Xuangong, and it was much easier to take the path that others had walked than his own.

Chu Jing is now teaching Qin Yingran the techniques and skills of using darts, and other aspects are temporarily put on again.

Qin Yingran was also very hardworking, holding three golden darts and throwing them at the tree a few meters away again and again, Chu Jing stood next to the tree and caught the dart that was thrown off.

If ordinary people want to hurt Chu Jing, it is really much more difficult than ascending to the sky.

Chu Jing was not in a hurry to leave, he would not leave until the news of the Seventh Prince's return to the Heavenly Tribulation Pass came, and before that, he didn't want to meet with the Seventh Prince.

Time passed day by day, and Chu Jing spent time between teaching Qin Yingran and blue smoke like warm storage.

......

......

It is said that the Seven Princes did not listen to the advice of Zeng Fangzhou, the former Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, and insisted on going his own way, with an army of 100,000, directly out of the Heavenly Difficulties, and headed in the direction of Renjin City.

Yuanwang City and Black Sheep City were both captured by Chu Jing, as long as Chu Jing was found, he could naturally ask him to come to the two cities.

The news that the Seven Princes led their troops to the Heavenly Tribulation Pass quickly spread to Juyun City, startling the city lord of Juyun City and General Chen, and immediately sent a message to the eldest prince of Xinyang City, and then closed the city gates, and the whole city was under martial law.

It has only been a month since the last time the Seven Princes came to Renjin City, and the walls of Renjin City have been raised again, and they are full of crossbow beds that fire crossbow arrows like spears, as well as rows of crossbows, as long as there are soldiers attacking the city, they can directly pick up crossbows and shoot.

Seeing that Renjin City was built into an impregnable fortress, the Seven Princes were still very happy.

Ren Jincheng is his most cutting-edge position, it is not impossible to lose, and it is of course the best to be able to firmly control it.

However, when the team of the Seven Princes arrived, it was Yu Ban who came out to greet him.

The Seventh Prince asked with some surprise, "Where is Chu Concubine?"

Yu Ban replied respectfully: "The City Lord of Chu has been away from Renjin City for many days. ”

"Then did he go to Yuanwang City or Black Sheep City?" In the mind of the Seven Princes, Chu Jing must have gone to one of these two cities.

Yu Ban said: "My subordinates don't know. ”

"What? You don't know? Didn't Chu Jing tell you when he left? You are the deputy city lord!" the Seventh Prince's tone was not good.

"Your Highness, when the city lord left, he just asked me to guard Renjin City, and there was no other explanation. ”

Yu Ban was neither humble nor arrogant, and the Seventh Prince had no choice but to take him, so he simply said directly: "I don't care where Chu Jing goes, when Chu Jing comes back, you tell him that he has made a great contribution this time, and I will reward him well, in addition, Renjin City is not strong enough, and I will send someone to take over Yuanwang City and Black Sheep City." ”

Yu Ban's face changed for a long time before he agreed: "I will truthfully report the words of the Seventh Prince to the City Lord." ”

The Seventh Prince was too lazy to be with Yu Banxu and the snake, and immediately left Renjin City, Chu Jing was not here, did he wait to go in and be surrounded by a group of "refugees" like last time, crying about Chu Jing's atrocities?

Looking at the city from afar, the distance of Liren Jincheng is closer to that of Black Sheep City, and the gap in the city wall has been basically repaired at this time.

Under the leadership of Xu Sheng, a group of soldiers and officers started one after another, plus the skilled craftsmen in the city, it only took seven days to repair it almost the same as when it was not damaged before, of course, the bearing capacity may still be a little worse, but compared to the city gate, it is still much stronger.

If the enemy army can't even break through the city gate, then it is impossible to attack from such a newly repaired city wall.

The team of the Seven Princes soon came to Yuanwang City.

Looking at the gate of the city from afar, the city wall is full of soldiers, as well as all kinds of city defense equipment, rolling wood and stone things, not like a welcome, but a posture of battle.

The Seventh Princes drove forward and asked in a loud voice, "Who is in the city, I am the Seventh Prince, and I have asked your greatest governor here to come out and talk to me." ”

Xu Sheng stood on the city wall, condescendingly, looked at the Seven Princes, and said loudly: "I am Xu Sheng, the acting city lord of Yuanwang City, the Seventh Highness has something important to do here, and I will forgive the official and military orders, and I can't go down to greet him in person." ”

Obviously, this name is the same as Chu Jing's finding of Yu Ban, the deputy city lord of Renjin City, and it is not a task that the Seventh Prince has heard of.

The Seventh Prince said angrily: "I don't care who you are, and I don't care what orders Chu Jing gave you, now I appoint the city lord of Yuanwang City is Zhang San, whether you want to or not, you must hand over Yuanwang City." ”

A general beside the Seventh Prince held his head high, drove forward, and glanced at Xu Sheng defiantly.

Xu Sheng has never seen anything in the world, how can he be frightened by a little prince and a dog next to him, his face remains unchanged, and he said in a loud voice: "Your Royal Highness, I am in the name of the Lord of Chu in Renjin City, guarding Yuanwang City, how can I give up my duties and give up Yuanwang City because of your words, please ask Your Highness to please go back, as long as I bring the warrant of the Lord of Chu City, I will naturally hand over Yuanwang City to you." ”

The Seventh Prince didn't expect one of Chu Jing's subordinates to dare to speak to him like this, did he forget that even his top boss listened to his orders, and now he actually let himself go to Chu Jing to prove it, it was simply looking for death.

However, the walls of Yuanwang City are quite high, and there are many soldiers defending them, and the Seventh Prince is not Chu Jing, so it is still extremely difficult, or even impossible, to attack it with very low casualties.

I don't know where there are so many soldiers in Yuanwang City, could it be that they are from Renjin City? The Seven Princes really didn't pay attention to how many guards there were in Renjin City, and most of their eyes were completely taken away by the city defense equipment.

No matter how angry the Seven Princes are, they will not directly attack Yuanwang City, which would be too irrational.

In fact, the soldiers in Yuanwangcheng are far less than the Seven Princes have seen, except for Xu Sheng's 10,000 soldiers, most of the soldiers in Yuanwangcheng and newly recruited recruits, and even ordinary people who wear military uniforms and spend money to hire them.

Defending the city, you don't have to have too many people, as long as you let the other party know the difficulties and retreat.
