Volume 1 The Hidden Dragon in the Abyss Chapter 13 Thirteen Years Have Passed
Since then, Gu Xuan, the fifth prince of Liangguo, finally began to live in the Guozi Prison, getting up early every day, leaving Yongle Palace in a carriage under the loving gaze of his mother, and going to the Xue Palace, no matter how cold or hot, he has never been absent.
Since the events of that day, as the second prince Gu Cang said, Xu Huaiying, this kid has always held a grudge against Gu Xuan, after all, if you want to target the crown prince Gu Cang, he is not qualified enough for the grandson of a general, so he can only often bully Gu Xuan with others, although he does not dare to beat him openly, but secretly throwing away his books behind his back, or secretly making stumbling blocks, framing and other children's tricks are countless.
Only once because of the destruction of Concubine Li's own handmade bookcase for her son was discovered by Gu Xuan, at that time the matter was very troublesome, if it wasn't for the fast stop of others, the son of the waiter of the Ministry of Rites was almost beaten to death by him, and after a period of time, Xu Huaiying and others still restrained, the child was still afraid after all, but later, at the instigation of outsiders, this group of people began to secretly bully Xiao Gu Xuan under the leadership of Xu Huaiying, but there was no more beating incident.
Although Gu Xuan completely opened his mind after taking the elixir of the shark clan, he was still a child after all, and he was often at a loss or secretly crying, but the strong child never sued his second brother Gu Cang or his mother Concubine Li once, which caused Xu Huaiying and others to become even more serious.
And the third Gu Li also hated Gu Xuan at all, according to the information revealed by Gu Cang, it was because Gu Xuan's mother's position of Concubine Li was originally Gu Li's aunt's position, which also led to his mother Concubine Shufei hating Concubine Li's mother and son, when the child was young, he was the most easily influenced by adults, not to mention his dearest mother, Gu Li listened to his mother's disgust for the mother and son every day, and naturally hated Concubine Li and Gu Xuan.
Concubine Shu's family, that is, the Xu family's power in the army is too great, and the three princes take the initiative to take the lead, Gu Xuan has naturally had a very bad time in the Guozi Prison over the years, which has led to his maturity very early.
Gu Xuan, who had accumulated his anger to the peak because he saw someone secretly destroying his small bookcase, finally couldn't help but fight with others, but when he came back, he saw his mother take the initiative to send someone to apologize, Gu Xuan never got rough with others because he was bullied, and the little child only understood one truth in his heart, he would rather be wronged than make his mother sad.
Time passed unhurriedly like this, it was a full thirteen years in a flash, and in the winter of the twenty-first year of Jianwu, the fifth prince Gu Xuan was already eighteen years old.
In an ordinary backyard of Yongle Palace, which belongs to Concubine Li's family, this place has been specially opened up as an independent martial arts arena, which is said to be a martial arts arena, that is, a small courtyard, where some exercise equipment is piled up, such as stone piers and other things, which is where Gu Xuan practices martial arts on weekdays.
At this time, there were no outsiders in the field of the small courtyard, only two completely different figures were fighting extremely fast, one was dressed in white and the other was dressed in black, black and white were distinct, and they could naturally see more clearly.
The man in white is in a sturdy shape, extremely stable in the lower plate, obviously has a deep foundation in martial arts, and between the moves, like a dragon walking and a tiger's step, he has a different kind of power.
This person's speed is extremely fast, and his strength is also very great, every time he hits the other party's body, there is a muffled sound, he is not limited to moves, every attack, or palm knife, or punch, or two fingers together to stab, the move changes, people are dizzying.
On the other hand, the man in black is like a shield, with a degree of advance and retreat, simple and simple moves, but with a killing atmosphere of the battlefield, and the use of simple fist moves is basically simple, but often has the power to turn decay into magic, and the man in black is mostly defensive and evasive, and seems to be afraid of the opponent's strength, so he rarely fights with the other party, but he is also obviously at a disadvantage.
The two of them come and go like this, fighting heartily in this small courtyard, intersecting fists and feet, and the sound they make can scare the people waiting at the gate of the courtyard, and secretly praise the power of their son-in-law.
In this way, the two of them passed more than ten moves at once, and the man in white suddenly stretched out a hand to forcibly block the opponent's attack, seized the opportunity, and rushed towards the chin of the man in black from the bottom to the top with a punch, using the 'cannon fist' in martial arts, but mixed with some other things, it seemed a little nondescript, but the power seemed to be even more extraordinary.
The man in black was caught off guard, turned his fist into a palm, and quickly retreated to the defense, and at the same time his neck shrank back sharply, trying to avoid the opponent's powerful blow, and at this moment, the man in white actually changed his move again, and took advantage of the momentum of this punch to retract his fist, and actually hit a shoulder sideways, such as Gonggong was angry against Zhou Shan, the strength was so great that the man in black almost fell out, and quickly retreated a few steps to barely maintain his figure.
"Fifth son, I lost!"
The man in black hurriedly stopped, touched the chest that was hit just now, although he had blocked the other party with his elbows in time, but he couldn't bear the opponent's strength, and he was still in a faint pain.
The black-clothed man who stopped his body had a beautiful beard with a circle of mouthwords, a square face with a square Chinese character, a resolute face, and a sense of vicissitudes and melancholy in his eyes, his figure was tall, but he was a little thin, looking like a bamboo pole, thirteen years had passed in a flash, and he seemed to be older than the normal age, and it was the Xiao Rider Wei Jinglong back then.
And the young man in white has a pair of tendons and flesh that he has practiced because of his perennial martial arts, and he looks very well-proportioned when he wears white clothes, with a healthy atmosphere, his face perfectly inherits his mother's bloodline, he looks very handsome, his eyes are like electricity, such a masculine and heroic young man, it is really unforgettable, this person is Gu Xuan, who is already eighteen years old.
Gu Xuan has been obsessed with martial arts all these years, and with his identity as the fifth prince, he has found all kinds of masters in the capital to practice martial arts, plus there are Jinglong and other Xiao cavalry guards to feed him, and now he is only eighteen years old, but his martial arts are already extremely strong.
"Uncle Jinglong, I'm not injured. β
Gu Xuan stepped forward, grabbed the other party's shoulder, and asked with great concern.
Since he once took advantage of his father's visit to Yongle Palace to ask to practice martial arts, Gu Yi hand-picked Jinglong to teach, most of the time in the past ten years has been learning with Jinglong, the relationship between the two is also a teacher and a friend, extraordinary, seeing that the other party subconsciously touched the place on his chest that was bumped by himself, Gu Xuan hurriedly asked.
His strength has grown extremely fast, perhaps because of the relationship between the elixir of the shark clan, or maybe he is a talented person, in short, no matter what the reason, his physical fitness is far stronger than ordinary people, which also leads to his one move and one style, not to mention subtle or not, but his strength is extremely great, the so-called one force will drop ten, which is why he is only eighteen years old, and many martial arts masters have not been able to fight him.
Hearing the fifth prince's concerned inquiry, Jinglong hurriedly waved his hand and said with a smile: "The fifth prince is making rapid progress, and he is no longer an opponent in Xia." β
It was only in this Yongle Palace, facing a role like Jinglong, who was also a teacher and friend, that Gu Xuan could show a smile from the bottom of his heart.
"This is a new trick taught to me by the second brother, in addition, the second brother also taught me a lot of training methods, I tried it, and it turned out to be more effective than the methods in those martial arts halls, and I will discuss it with Uncle Jinglong later." β
Second son, hearing this name, Jinglong can only sigh, he is in the palace land, naturally he knows better the ability that this second son has shown over the years, but he didn't expect that the second son, who has been weak since he was a child, has studied martial arts, which really makes people have to sigh a word of all-rounder.
The two sat down face to face around a stone table in the courtyard, Gu Xuan stood up and personally poured a large cup of thirst-quenching tea for each of them, it was winter at this time, the weather in the capital was cold, even Jinglong put on a warm coat for himself, Gu Xuan, who had just sweated a little, seemed to be nothing, and was still wearing a single coat for fighting, full of red light, without the slightest discomfort.
Jinglong took a sip of tea, and then said: "I have taught everything that can be taught to Gongzi, Gongzi treats me so well, Jinglong does not dare to hide his secrets, but I have watched Gongzi all these years to look for famous teachers to learn art, even if it is a word in the next mouth, martial arts is not a great road after all, on the basis of physical fitness, it is enough to have the power of self-preservation, no matter how powerful you are in martial arts, it is only capable of dozens of people, Gongzi must not be so obsessed." β
Gu Xuan shrugged his shoulders and smiled helplessly: "It's just a hobby." β
He still hasn't said a word, if he doesn't learn martial arts, what can he do?
After saying this, Jinglong looked up at the sky, and then said, "Fifth son, it's not too early, I should also leave." β
Gu Xuan hurriedly said, "Uncle Jinglong, don't you want to sit for a whileγγγγγγ?" β
Before he finished speaking, a sudden announcement came from the gate of the courtyard.
"Fifth master, Lord Night asks to see!"
Gu Xuan and Jinglong glanced at each other, and Jinglong actually smiled rarely: "Fifth prince, then don't bother in the future, when Yeshangshu comes to visit, there must be urgent matters, don't be careless." β
The official Shangshu Ye Zhihuai is here again, he has secretly come over the years I don't know how many times, Gu Xuan does have to thank him, if it weren't for him, Yongle Palace would never have such a good situation as it is now, but this person often mentioned to himself in his childhood some things to fight for power, which made Gu Xuan, who had changed from a fool to a precocious wisdom, very disgusted.
But just like Jinglong said, a book should not be taken lightly, Gu Xuan nodded, and finally did not stop Jinglong from leaving, but also walked out of the courtyard and commanded his subordinates.
"I still want to take a bath, so please wait for one or two first. β
