Chapter 1: The Eight Princes

Next Chapter

Zhao Xingchen sat on the dragon bed and smiled bitterly, how many times did he dream of 'beautiful things' in his previous life, but in this life, he actually came true.

In the first half of his life, he was in business, and after he became famous, he felt a little boring, and suddenly on a whim he took an old fishing boat and wanted to live a hermit life.

No, the big grass carp that was being stewed in that rough stone pot was actually struck by lightning, and this split hit the Zhao Kingdom of the other world.

Possessed by a bloody prince also named Zhao Xingchen, that guy is just 15 years old this year, the eighth prince of Zhao State.

It's just that this person is cowardly and afraid of being bullied, so he often pretends to be stupid to cover up. Therefore, the Chinese people secretly call him 'Zhao Bandu'.

And Zhao Guo is a prosperous country of martial arts, and there are many masters, but the sad thing is that Zhao Xingchen is weak and sickly, so he naturally can't practice.

Therefore, Zhao Xingchen was very inferior, but he didn't want to accept his fate, so he practiced secretly.

However, there are no roots, and there is no master to teach, and no matter how much practice is in vain. Even so, he never stopped practicing martial arts.

It's just that after practicing for seven or eight years, I don't even have internal qi, so naturally I haven't touched the threshold of the acquired realm.

Because, the internal qi produced in the body can be regarded as stepping into the 'acquired one-quality realm', and the actual combat level is equivalent to the penultimate place in the qualifiers of the Olympic Sanda competition.

And the queen mother 'Luo Xiang' was originally just a palace maid in the palace, and once his father 'Zhao Zhennan' was drunk, and he was drunk for a while.

Although Luo Xiang was later mentioned as a nobleman, the royal family did not even give her the status of 'Niangniang', and her mother was naturally angry in her heart, and soon died of depression. Therefore, Zhao Xingchen was brought up by the palace nurse 'Yun Aya' when he was young.

According to the rules of the Zhao Kingdom, the princes had to move out of the palace and live outside when they reached the age of twelve.

Zhao Xingchen was naturally no exception, and lived in the 'Wooden Mansion' built by the royal family in Yujing City.

You must know that for the princes who have not yet been crowned kings, leaving the palace is in danger at any time.

It's okay after being crowned king, because you will leave Yujing and live in your own fiefdom after a king.

In addition to entering the palace once a year to worship, you can't enter Beijing casually when the emperor has not summoned you.

The main reason for the royal rules is to prevent these princes from conspiring to rebel, and the prince has fiefdom property, and he is also a local overlord, so he will not worry about spending money and being rich all his life.

It's just that a 'king' will lose the qualification to compete for the throne, unless you rebel? Zhao Xingchen has always hoped that his father can make him a 'king'.

At that time, it is better to stay away from the capital and live freely for a lifetime than to live in fear in the jade capital.

It's just that Zhao Xingchen is only 15 years old, and he has not yet reached the age of being crowned.

However, what makes Zhao Xingchen strange is that there are several elder brothers such as the fourth prince, the fifth prince, the sixth prince, and the second prince, all of whom are in their twenties or even early thirties, but they have not been crowned kings.

In the past, there was a crown prince, who was the eldest prince Zhao Xiong.

It's just that this eldest brother's ambition swelled, and he couldn't wait for the emperor to abdicate, so he conspired to rebel, and was naturally taken down.

In the next few years, the emperor did not intend to crown the prince.

In this way, those princes who have not been crowned kings have the opportunity to compete for the throne.

And Zhao Xingchen didn't even dare to fart under the oppression of these brothers and brothers, and he was worried every day, for fear that one day he would accidentally be secretly clicked by someone sent by one brother.

But you hide from others every day, and others will look for you as well.

No, woe has come from heaven.

A month ago, the army of Chu, which was only separated from Zhao by a 'Cangjiang River', went eastward and came with great momentum, wanting to cross the Cangjiang River and seize the city in the west of Zhao.

After discussing with the ministers of military aircraft, the monarch Zhao Zhennan decided to divide the Cangjiang River into several defensive areas, and several princes would take command to confront and counterattack.

Zhao Xingchen was almost scared to death when he heard it, he couldn't even kill a chicken, let alone an obscure military strategy, how could he take command of the expedition?

Therefore, he hurriedly entered the palace and prayed to his father not to send him on a mission.

Naturally, it immediately attracted the ministers to laugh, and the cynicism slapped on Zhao Xingchen's head like a snowflake.

However, the second brother Zhao Deyang stood up and said good things for himself, saying that he was powerless, and his brain was half a beat slow, so it was not appropriate to lead the army to fight.

At that time, not only will they not be able to complete the task, but if they are attacked by the Chu army as a breakthrough, it will be troublesome.

Zhao Zhennan weighed it again, and the courtiers also felt reasonable, so they no longer embarrassed the eighth prince.

It's just that last night, the eunuch Ning Shang went to the 'Water Mansion' where Zhao Xingchen lived and passed the holy decree, saying that Zhao Xingchen was too cowardly by nature, which made the emperor very disappointed.

The emperor decided that in the future, he would no longer be canonized as a prince, and he would not even give a fief, and he would guard the water mansion for the rest of his life.

Zhao Xingchen was not a real fool, and when he heard this holy decree, he was immediately ashamed and angry. In one go, I drank a jar of thirty-year-old cellar 'burning knives'.

At this time, Lin Wan, the maid of the Water Mansion, came in with a 'sobering soup', and Zhao Xingchen drank it in one gulp in a drunken and hazy state.

Soon the whole body was feverish and died, so that Zhao Xingchen, who came from the earth, picked up a leak and was reborn.

Zhao Xingchen couldn't help but glance at the soup bowl on the small table next to the bed, stretched out his fingers and dipped some of the remaining liquid juice and tasted it, and suddenly became angry.

He understood that this soup was not a sobering soup at all, but a 'Longyang soup'.

The degree of the cellar burning knife is close to 70 degrees, which is already hot, plus this bowl of Longyang soup, the heat is hot.

And Zhao Xingchen didn't have a master beside him to help regulate qi and channel and activate blood, but as a result, he was 'burned' to death by the fire.

"Who did it?" Zhao Xingchen suddenly revealed his murderous intentions.

"Master, are you alright?" At this time, the loyal servant Luo Zuo hurriedly rushed in from outside.

Luo Zuo is a distant nephew of his mother's mother's family, and it was his mother who saved his family, so he is naturally loyal to the 'cousin' of the Eighth Emperor.

"Luo Zuo, you immediately go to the kitchen and quietly look for any root residue or anything left in this bowl of ginseng soup?" Zhao Xingchen confessed.

"What are you looking for?" Luo Zuo looked at him with some confusion.

"If the thirty-year-old burning knife is paired with Longyang soup, Luo Zuo, you say, what will happen if you drink it?" Zhao Xingchen asked with a cold face.

"Death to heat!" Luo Zuo shuddered suddenly, and immediately became furious, and went to the kitchen.

Soon he hurriedly returned, opened the cloth bag and handed it to Zhao Xingchen and said, "This ginseng scum is so big, and the whole body is blood-red, it must be no less than sixty years of blood ginseng king." Master, who sent it?"

"The soup was sent in by Lin Wan, and it was a sobering soup for me. Zhao Xingchen snorted.

"This, I'm going to call her right away. Luo Zuo nodded and ran out, and soon Lin Wan called in.

However, when he saw Zhao Xingchen who was sitting on the edge of the bed, he was suddenly startled, and his legs were weak and he almost sat on the ground.

However, this sister immediately calmed down again, it seems that her psychological quality is quite strong, and she is estimated to have had special training.

"Lin Wan, where did this soup come from, it tastes very delicious. The slight change in Lin Wan's expression could not hide from the experienced Zhao Xingchen, but he pretended to be excited and asked.

"Master, it's just a bowl of 'sobering soup', and the master will only feel delicious when he gets drunk last night. Lin Wan replied calmly.

"Is the decanting soup so delicious?" Zhao Xingchen stiffened his face.

"The master is very drunk, maybe he is dreaming of delicious food, and he thinks it is delicious. Lin Wan quibbled.

"!" Zhao Xingchen patted the bedside table and pointed at Lin Wan angrily, "Luo Zuo, drag me out, find a few hundred mice to serve her, and serve her until she tells the truth." ”

"Ah, don't, don't want it, master......" Lin Wan knelt down in panic and cried.

However, Zhao Xingchen ignored her, and Luo Zuo grabbed her neck and dragged her out.

"I said that I said, it was the old ginseng sent by Zhao Zhen, the third chief manager of the Second Prince's Mansion, and told me to send it to the master after I boiled it, saying that it was refreshing and refreshing, and it must be taken after drinking, and the effect is better. Lin Wan cried.

"Lin Wan, you are the person next to the queen, don't you know this?" Zhao Xingchen motioned to Luo Zuo, and Luo Zuo immediately opened the bag, revealing the residue of the Blood Ginseng King.

"Slave maid...... The master spares his life, the slave and maid don't dare, they don't dare anymore......" The matter was revealed, Lin Wan's face suddenly turned like ashes, and his head hit the floor tiles and begged for mercy.

Zhao Xingchen wrote a confession and asked Lin Wan to sign and draw it, just in case.

"Get out!" Zhao Xingchen threw the pen and snorted.

"Thank you, master!" Lin Wan hurriedly got up and was about to leave in a panic.

However, with a crisp crack, her head was hit by the vase that Luo Zuo lifted, and she poured blood on the broken porcelain tiles all over the ground, and she pointed at Zhao Xingchen angrily and said, "You...... Didn't you say spare my life?"

"This prince did say it, but it was Luo Zuo who wanted your life, did this prince break the appointment?" Zhao Xingchen smiled.

"You are so despicable! They won't let you go! I'll be waiting for you down there, and when the time comes, I'll pick your skin, pull your tendons, and drink your blood!" Lin Wan scolded through gritted teeth.

"You're just a dog, and they're getting more than one less. Zhao Xingchen looked at her with disgust.

"I am a female official sent by the queen to manage the Water Mansion, and Luo Zuo has to accompany me when he kills me. Lin Wan shouted while spitting blood.

"Who told you that Luo Zuo killed you? It's just that this prince is drunk, hot and dry, and he dreams of encountering a vicious dog, grabbing a vase and beating the dog. Zhao Xingchen had a kind smile on his face.

"You devil ......"

"To be a man is to be ruthless, start when it's time to start! Trigger the task, the 'merit value' will be credited with one point, and the 'Tianchen' first-level space will be opened and you will be rewarded once. At this moment, an ethereal voice came.

The blue light flashed, Zhao Xingchen saw something, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching, "Isn't this the rough stone pot where I made a fire on the fishing boat?"

I don't know where the old fisherman picked it up, and the surface is so bad that it doesn't look like a delicate thing from a factory, but a stonemason himself chiseled it with a chisel.

The old fishermen don't know how many years it has been used, and the whole pot is so blackened that it is almost impossible to see the original appearance.

When I looked up, I saw that there was a hall made of wood.

And the stone pot that burned the fire in his previous life was the size of a square zhang, like a flying saucer without a lid, floating in the center of the hall with a faint green light.

The pot was still spinning slowly, and as it rotated, there was a faint green light and some large and small 'stars' in between.

If you look closely, the so-called 'stars' are spheres of different sizes.

The size of a small ping-pong ball, and the size of a large water tank.

After a closer look, there were words written on the ball, and the balls the size of ping-pong balls in front of Zhao Xingchen were written 'Guan Xiaoqu'.

"Guan Xiaoqu! seems to be a little character in Wen Ruian's pen, and he is the younger brother of a generation of heroes Guan Feidu. There is a hand in solving the case, but this person has a problem with his character, and in the end he was killed in cold blood. Zhao Xingchen said.

"You can activate him. The voice just now was full of disdain, coming from the stone cauldron.

"How to activate?" Zhao Xingchen asked.

"You just want to reach out and poke it. Said in an indifferent voice.

Zhao Xingchen didn't think much about it, and thought about stretching out his finger and poking it.

The sphere suddenly exploded, and a figure flew out of it and rushed into the body.

It hurts! It seems that ten thousand ants eat the heart, and it seems that someone is constantly inflating himself, and his body is about to explode.

However, it was over in a matter of seconds.

Zhao Xingchen exhaled a long breath, and suddenly, he was refreshed.

When I opened my eyes, I felt that my eyes were much clearer, and my body was full of surging power, and I was not happy if I didn't vent it.

So he walked to the table, squatted down, and with a force, the rosewood table weighing about 300 pounds was moved for himself.

Zhao Xingchen was immediately stunned, Lao Tzu also had 'internal qi' in his body!

"Boy, what is the little acquired Seven Rank Realm? After the first opening, the space released five tasks. The voice seemed very domineering and disdainful, and when the words were finished, the stone pot lit up, and five small stars on the originally gray and simple little planet around them flashed brightly, as if a call suddenly came.

Golden Bell Jar Iron Head Skill: Requires 2 Karma Points, with 3 layers of Skill.

Broken Jade Palm: Requires 2 Karma Points, with 3 stacks of Skill.

Entry-level swordsmanship: Requires 3 skill points, with 3 stacks of skill.

Introductory Water Skill: Requires 4 karma points, with 4 layers of power.

Beginner Archery: Requires 8 Karma Points, with 6 stacks of Skill.

......

Each set of martial arts comes with a certain level of skill to improve, but how many small realms you can improve depends on the effect of completing the task.

The effect is divided into six grades, namely: poor, qualified, good, excellent, satisfactory, and great perfection.

Of course, 'poor' can't reward meritocracy, qualified to mention a small realm, good to mention two small realms, excellent and then one level, a satisfactory increase in one layer of skill, and a great consummation to increase one to three layers of skill.

"How can I earn merit worth?" Zhao Xingchen couldn't help but ask.

"Strategy, conspiracy, conspiracy, layout, hegemony, courage, wisdom, will, talent, popularity, merit, wealth, power, relationships, etc. can all be converted into corresponding 'merit value' increases. Said in an indifferent voice.

"Master, when did you learn martial arts?" Glancing at the heavy rosewood table, Luo Zuo asked with a cute expression.

"It's going to be a little bit!" Zhao Xingchen smiled mysteriously.
