Chapter 2: The Four Great Swordsmen
Time flies, time flies, twelve years have passed since Emperor Tianyu was born, Xuanwu City is still so lively, but the entire Eastern Regions has been surging undercurrent.
Twelve years ago, after the vision of the Lingnan Heavenly Descending Vision, although the ancestor of the Emperor family obscured the heavenly opportunity, it also attracted the attention of all the top forces in the entire Eastern Regions.
It's just that these forces don't know the specific reason for the vision from the sky, and they don't know the specific location, but the news that the approximate location of the vision is in Lingnan County of the Shenlong Empire has been rumored.
Therefore, the five empires of the Eastern Regions, the ten major dynasties, the ten super sects and some big forces have begun to move, and they have infiltrated Lingnan, at this time, Lingnan has gathered spies from many forces in the Eastern Regions, and the emperor has also been the main object of many forces in the past ten years!
There are also rumors among the people in the Eastern Regions, some people are rumored to be born in the dark forest, some people are rumored to be born in the relics of peerless powerhouses, and some people say that it is the genius who came to the world.
Due to the reason of the vision from the sky, there have been obviously more warriors in Lingnan in recent years than before, some mercenaries and mercenary groups have come to Lingnan from various places, if you want to say that there is the most likely treasure in that place in Lingnan, it is of course the Dark Forest, so a large number of mercenaries enter the Dark Forest every day.
In the Lingnan Hou Mansion, where Lingnan is now the number one force and one of the twelve gate lords of the Shenlong Empire, in a quiet courtyard, a young man in white clothes and a silver crown is practicing swordsmanship in the courtyard.
The young man's face is like a crown of jade, his appearance is extremely handsome, and the two sword eyebrows that enter the temples are even more heroic, like an immortal descending into the world.
The sword aura in the courtyard is fierce, and at first glance, this young man is not a showman, but a real superb swordsmanship, and this white-clothed young man is the young master of the emperor family, Emperor Tianyu.
Emperor Tianyu has shown an amazing talent for cultivation since he was a child, he began to cultivate the emperor's family's top martial arts emperor heart technique at the age of three, and it only took one year to reach the great perfection of martial disciples, open up the muscles and veins of the whole body, cultivate the true qi, and reach the warrior class.
After that, it only took eight years to cross the two levels of samurai and martial artist to cultivate to a military general, and this cultivation speed made him have few opponents among his peers in Lingnan, and became the first person in the younger generation of Lingnan.
The military general is also a small master in the emperor's family, and his cultivation is higher than that of ordinary family generals.
Most of the younger generation of cultivators of the same age in Lingnan are samurai, and if they can reach the level of martial arts, they are already considered supreme geniuses, and Di Tianyu is now a military general, and the gap between them can be seen.
The cultivation techniques of martial artists in the Eastern Regions are divided into five levels: God, Heaven, Earth, Xuan, and Huang, and the higher the level of the exercises, the faster and more powerful the cultivation will be.
The emperor's heart of the emperor family is the peak of the heaven-level exercises, and it is the strongest cultivation method in Lingnan.
The exercises of the other three major families in Lingnan County were only at the beginning of the prefecture level, and they were too far behind the heaven-level exercises.
Martial arts, like exercises, are also divided into five levels: God, Heaven, Earth, Xuan, and Huang.
The set of swordsmanship cultivated by Emperor Tianyu is only a yellow-level martial art, but it is particularly important in the emperor's family, all the descendants of the emperor's family must be cultivated, and some important side disciples must also be cultivated.
There are a total of seventy-two styles of this set of swordsmanship, and Emperor Tianyu has practiced this set of swordsmanship since the beginning of his cultivation, and now he has been practicing this set of swordsmanship for eight or nine years.
Although this set of swordsmanship is only the Yellow Rank, the difficulty of cultivation is very difficult, and it requires a strong understanding to succeed, and there are no more than ten people who have successfully cultivated in the Emperor's family, and Emperor Tianyu is one of them.
After Di Tianyu finished practicing his sword, the two maids who were already waiting next to him stepped forward quickly, and one of the maids in a red dress said with a smile: "The young master's swordsmanship is becoming more and more exquisite, and it seems that he will be able to cultivate to the second level soon!" ”
The girl's name is Mei Ling, and she is one of Emperor Tianyu's four personal maids, and the other three are Lan Zhi, Zhu Yun, and Ju Ya.
"Hehehe! Cultivation to the second level is still far away! ”
Emperor Tianyu said with a smile.
The four girls grew up with Emperor Tianyu since childhood, the age of the four is about fifteen or sixteen years old, although they are the maids of Emperor Tianyu, but the resources they have received since childhood are no worse than some descendants, so their cultivation is very high, they are the dead soldiers cultivated by the emperor's family, and they are used to secretly protect Emperor Tianyu.
They are not only beautiful and talented, but also proficient in chess, qin, calligraphy and painting, and their cultivation is also extremely profound, especially the swordsmanship is very strong, so they are known as the four great swordsmen by the outside world.
Cultivating the dead to secretly protect some important children is very common among the big forces.
"Young Master! It's time to go for breakfast! ”
A maid in green clothes next to her took the long sword in Di Tianyu's hand and stepped forward and said.
This girl is none other than Zhu Yun, one of the Four Swordsmen.
"Okay, let's go together."
Di Tianyu took the towel in Mei Ling's hand, sweated it, and said with a smile as he walked.
Although they are called master and servant, Di Tianyu has never regarded the four of them as subordinates, they grew up together, and their relationship is extremely deep.
In addition to the twelve guards, there are twenty-four maids in the courtyard, which are divided into three classes, and the highest status is the four sword attendants, who are responsible for Emperor Tianyu's daily life and food and safety.
Di Tianyu walked into the room, and the last two of the four sword attendants, Lan Zhi and Ju Ya, had already prepared breakfast.
The breakfast was a third-order demon beast flame blood beef and a spirit porridge boiled from the Spirit Valley, which was not only very delicious, but also beneficial to cultivation.
In the Eastern Regions, the powerful family Wang clan basically eats three meals a day is all kinds of demon beast meat, as well as spiritual vegetables, spirit valley, eating demon beast meat can not only strengthen the body, but also increase cultivation, the higher the level of the demon beast, the more benefits, so some family lords like to eat all kinds of demon beast meat.
After Emperor Tianyu finished eating and drinking, Mei Ling stepped forward and said, "Young master, the master mother asked you to go to Luxue Courtyard!" ”
Emperor Tianyu nodded and said, "I'll go over now!" Prepare a few of you, and we'll go out later. ”
The girls immediately cheered, they hadn't visited Xuanwu City for a long time, so they happily prepared to go.
Emperor Tianyu walked through several garden courtyards and came to Luxue Courtyard, which was where Emperor Lingfeng and Shangguan Xue lived, and was the core of the Imperial Mansion.
As soon as he entered the Luxue Courtyard, he saw Shangguan Xue in the garden, taking care of Di Tianyu's younger siblings, Di Tianling and Di Moye.
Shangguan Xue is the eldest lady of the Shangguan family in Bohai County of the Shenlong Empire, although the Shangguan family is not as good as the God family, but it is a top family in Bohai County, so Shangguan Xue's martial arts cultivation is not weak.
Now she is the peak of the martial emperor's cultivation, and she is also a top master in the imperial family, three years ago she gave birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses, which made her status higher in the imperial family, and now she manages the daily expenses of the entire imperial mansion.
When Di Tianling and Di Moye saw Di Tianyu coming, they all babbled and ran towards him.
Di Tianyu picked up his younger brothers and sisters one by one, kissed him dotingly and asked, "Have you studied and practiced calligraphy in the morning?" ”
"Ye'er is serious about practicing calligraphy, and the old master also praised Ye'er's handwriting beautifully."
Di Moye said in a milky voice, with a smug face.
"Huh! Mo Ye is awesome! ”
Di Tianyu praised with a smile.
"The second brother is not well-behaved at all, and he made the old master angry."
Di Moye complained to Emperor Tianyu, and also made a grimace to Emperor Tianling.
"How boring it is to read and practice calligraphy! I'm going to be a master like my big brother! ”
Di Tianling said proudly on his small face.
When the children of the emperor family are three years old, they must read and write, and only when they are older will they begin to practice martial arts.
And Emperor Tianyu has been smart since he was a child, and he has never forgotten his reading, and he can remember any exercise book at a glance, so he began to practice with the old ancestor of the emperor family when he was three years old, unlike other younger generations who followed the emperor's family elders and worshiped and cultivated.
"Wait for Tianling to grow up and then cultivate, now you still have to study hard!"
Di Tianyu said to his younger brother.
"You two little guys, stop pestering your big brother, go play."
Shangguan Xue said softly to Emperor Tianling and Emperor Moye beside him.
Di Tianyu put Di Yu Di Mo Ye on the ground, and the two little guys made a grimace at Shangguan Xue and ran away.
"Yu'er! Don't stay in the house all day long to cultivate, don't get bored, and go out for a walk more. ”
Shangguan Xue looked at her son, who was already about the same height as herself, and said.
His son was born with a vision from the sky, so he was expected a lot from an early age.
And Emperor Tianyu did not live up to the expectations of the emperor family, he showed an amazing cultivation talent since he was a child, not only did he never forget it, he could memorize any exercise book at a glance, and his cultivation speed was also amazingly fast, and he was already a military general at the age of twelve.
The news that Emperor Tianyu had cultivated to a military general was blocked by the emperor's family, and few people knew about it. If it is rumored to be out of Lingnan, then how can the position of the first day of the empire be shared by others, Shangguan Xue thought a little proudly in his heart.
But there are gains and losses, Di Tianyu shows such an amazing talent, and the entire emperor family treats him as a treasure, so Di Tianyu not only has a lot of cultivation pressure, but also encounters a lot of dangers in secret, and every time he travels, he needs to be protected by many masters and dead soldiers.
Moreover, the emperor family has also offended many forces in the process of rising, and the killers who assassinated the young master of the emperor family are wave after wave, and since Emperor Tianyu was born, he has suffered dozens of assassinations no less than ten times.
Emperor Tian Guyu has spent most of his time in the imperial mansion for more than ten years, and in addition, he has followed the elders of the emperor family to study chess, qin, calligraphy, painting, and formation books, and become a qualified helmsman who is not only strong, but also outstanding in all aspects.
Therefore, the number of times Emperor Tianyu left the Emperor's Mansion was not much, and the number of times he left Xuanwu City was even less, unless he followed Emperor Lingfeng to patrol Lingnan.
"Mother, the child came this time to say goodbye to his mother, and to prepare to travel to Lingnan and see him!"
Emperor Tianyu sat on the jade bench and took the opportunity to say, now that he has cultivated to a military general, the speed of cultivation has slowed down, and he wants to go to Lingnan to experience experience.
Shangguan Xue frowned, stripped the hair around her ears and said, "Traveling? How dangerous it is for you to go out now, you probably won't agree! ”
"Didn't I come to find my mother, and my mother helped me talk about it."
Emperor Tianyu said with a grin.
"It's okay to go out and travel, but you have to promise me a few conditions."
Just then, a majestic voice came.
