Chapter 022: Whimsy

After a period of time, Sima Hongyan began to live in a shallow life again. In addition to learning from Wu Zhao, he also improved some of the flaws of the ring and telescopic stick. Until both weapons could be used handily, Sima Hongyan issued a set to all the guards.

In order to allow Sima Hongyan to use the telescopic stick effectively, Wu Zhao asked a good brother in the guard to teach her a set of swordsmanship. Although it is a short stick, it is similar in size to a long sword, and the weight is not heavy, so it is suitable for practicing swordsmanship.

She has some martial arts foundation, Sima Hongyan learns swordsmanship faster, plus her body is light and her movements are flexible, this set of swordsmanship is quite agile and elegant.

During this period, there was something that made Sima Hongyan very worried, that is, the clothes were too uncomfortable. Most of the women's clothes in Yanling Kingdom are wide and graceful, almost all of them are draped on their bodies, and they usually walk without getting in the way. But it's very inconvenient to be active like her, not to mention practicing martial arts, it's just a hindrance.

But this is also difficult Sima Hongyan, she went to all the fabric stores in the city, specializing in the kind of fabric with good elasticity, and after coming back and the maid who can make clothes, after some explanations, plus many experiments, finally made a set of tights for herself.

All of them have to make this kind of clothes, mainly because Sima Hongyan found that when he learned swordsmanship every day, swordsmanship was different from boxing. The swordsmanship is more flexible, and it needs to be flashed back and forth from time to time, but every time I do this kind of big action, the plump part in front of me is always shaking around, which is extremely uncomfortable. In addition, the clothes on the body are bloated and swollen, and it is as uncomfortable as it is.

Once you have tights, put them on the skin on the inside, and then put on the outer garment, so you can move much more freely than before. But at the same time, there is a problem, tights are comfortable and convenient to wear, but every time I change clothes, I always see a few points that are so awkward.

So Sima Hongyan had a whim, and according to the memories of his previous life, he seemed to make a few sets of underwear.

Although people have reached ancient times, their bodies still maintain modern habits, and they always feel that going out without underwear is as uncomfortable as not wearing clothes. Now I have underwear and tights on the outside, which is really indescribable.

These strange costumes of hers, every time Qinghan sees them, she feels strange and embarrassed. Especially the tights, the graceful figure after wearing it is almost unobstructed. Although I think it's beautiful, I can't accept it in Qinghan's conservative little head. There was even a time when Sima Hongyan forced Qinghan to wear it once, and she was so embarrassed that she was about to get under the bed.

Sima Hongyan didn't understand how these ancients couldn't understand this kind of clothes that could show women's beauty. On the other hand, Miss's bold and thick-skinned behavior Qinghan couldn't figure out how she could figure it out. Since it is unacceptable to each other, let's not interfere with each other!

On this day, Sima Hongyan practiced swords on the empty field. She is already familiar with this set of spirit snake swordsmanship, but Wu Zhao once said that only by practicing continuously can she achieve mastery. Therefore, every day, she only knows this set of boxing techniques and this way of swordsmanship, and she must practice them once.

The so-called proficiency is just a memorization of the moves. If you want to do it with your heart, you have to be persistent for a long time. Therefore, Sima Hongyan is not stupid in practicing swords, and every time he uses a move, he ponders the mystery of it. Often, they will gradually fall into the realm of self-forgetfulness.

Suddenly, a person rushed in from behind her, and the weapon in his hand was pointed directly at Sima Hongyan's heart. Sima Hongyan reacted very quickly, turned back forward, and threw out the telescopic stick in his hand, with a "bang", the telescopic stick instantly stretched out by one meter and hit the head of the visitor. The man returned his weapon to block the incoming stick, and his left hand quickly reached forward and grabbed her left shoulder.

Sima Hongyan did not dodge or dodge, and his left fist also came out, facing the person with his left hand.

The man was stunned for a moment, his left hand shrank sharply, and his body jumped back to the side. Sima Hongyan didn't chase after him, and said with a smile: "The reaction is very fast!" ”

The person who came was Yan Hong, the Nine Emperor Princes who had not been seen for many days.

The Nine Emperor Princes looked at the ring that Sima Hongyan wore on his left hand at some point, and said with a smile: "It seems that martial arts are good!" But your insidious tactics are even more sophisticated. If I hadn't known about these two weapons of yours in advance, I would have suffered a loss with that stick just now. ”

Hearing this, Sima Hongyan was very happy, and said with a smile: "The people here are unpredictable, and if you don't keep it, you will encounter people who are sneaking up on you from behind, these two times are researched by me and Master Wu, can His Highness Nine still work?" ”

"Surprise is indeed the difference between victory and defeat in an instant!" The Nine Emperor Princes said: "However, if you meet a top master, I'm afraid it won't be so easy to get." ”

Sima Hongyan said: "If you meet a master, then one trick can be used!" ”

The Nine Emperor Princes said curiously: "What move?" ”

"Run! Are you waiting to be beaten? Sima Hongyan said solemnly.

The Nine Emperors smiled and shook their heads, and sure enough, they couldn't use common sense to measure this Miss Sima. But when you run into someone who can't be beaten, running away is indeed the best way.

The Nine Emperors took a few steps closer and whispered to Sima Hongyan: "Miss Sima, if we are friends, in the future, you don't call me His Royal Highness or the Prince in private, just call me Yan Hong!" ”

Sima Hongyan looked at him and said unceremoniously: "That's the best!" Anyway, it's awkward to call you Your Highness, the Prince. It always seems like I'm a head short of you! Yan Hong, go, sit in the house! ”

This changed the title, and Yan Hong, the ninth prince of the Nine Emperors, was secretly happy in his heart, and followed Sima Hongyan into the house.

The people next to him were secretly surprised when they saw it. They all discussed: "Look at our young lady, when you see these princes, they never bow down or salute. You see, they're all being called by their first names now. That Ninth Highness was not angry, and he seemed quite happy! ”

Sima Hongyan and Yan Hong came to the hall, Qinghan brought tea, then withdrew, and closed the door.

Yan Hong then asked: "What is the gain at the Chongyang Festival?" ”

Sima Hongyan thought for a while and said, "I have some ideas." As he spoke, he took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and spread it on the table beside him. Yan Hong walked up curiously to take a look.

I saw that many names were densely written on the paper, some of them had a "×" next to their names, some had a "√", and a few were painted with "? ”。 And the first person's name turned out to be Emperor Yanzhen, and the painting next to his name was a "? ”。

Yan Hong pointed a little angrily and asked, "What do you mean by this?" ”

Looking at what Yan Hong was pointing at, Sima Hongyan said: "This is a question mark, which means uncertain." ”

Yan Hong said: "I know the meaning of this symbol. I'm asking why you wrote my father's name? ”

Sima Hongyan smiled and said, "Don't be angry. Until the truth is clarified, we need to be skeptical. I'm using the method of elimination to screen out suspects. ”

"Elimination?" Yan Hong didn't understand.

Sima Hongyan explained in detail: "You see, these people are all people who can benefit from my father's death. Arrange them out, review them one by one, and if they don't have the motive to commit the crime, cross them out. In the end, what remains is the key object, which needs to be investigated in depth. Until evidence is found that he is innocent, or the real murderer is found. ”

Yan Hong looked at it again, pointed to a name and asked, "Then why did you even write Concubine Xuan's name?" ”

Sima Hongyan glanced at the name called Tang Wei and said: "Concubine Xuan is Liao Ziling's cousin, as soon as my father died, Liao Ziling took my father's place, and there is no guarantee that this Concubine Xuan designed to poison my father for her cousin." ”

Yan Hong was very surprised and asked, "How do you know that Concubine Xuan is General Liao's cousin?" Concubine Xuan is a concubine, so when she entered the palace, she deliberately did not announce her identity to the outside world. ”

Sima Hongyan said indifferently: "What's so difficult to check here? I took half of the guards out and sent them out to the crowd to find out the news. Whether it is true or rumor, all of them will be withdrawn and the authenticity will be verified. Naturally, you know! ”

Hearing that this news was actually collected from the people, Yan Hong was even more surprised and asked, "The people actually know this?" ”

Sima Hongyan said to him with a calm expression: "The master is in the people!" ”
