Chapter Ninety-Two: Shen Hu's Surprise
In the past two days, Ling Yun once again acted as a carrier pigeon to help Zhao Yao deliver a letter to Liang Run.
Zhao Yao did not take a break, and he did not have time to go out of the palace to find Liang Run to discuss the purchase of land carefully, so he could only discuss it through letters.
Liang Run told Zhao Yao in detail in the letter about several villages he fancied. He couldn't decide which village to choose for a while, so he asked Zhao Yao and Liang Zhaoyi to help choose.
"Mother, I think this big flower village is very good." This Dahua village is forty miles away from the capital, but its geographical location is very good, surrounded by mountains and a river running through the village. The only bad thing is that there are not a lot of cultivated fields in Dahua Village. However, Li Zheng of Dahua Village said that he could open up the wasteland and dig the fields by himself. The dug fields are your own, not the village's.
Liang Zhaoyi also took a fancy to this village, "This village is good. ”
"The second uncle said that the villagers in this village are kind and simple, and Lizheng is also very fair." After Zhao Yao read the letter, he really wanted to go to this big flower village to have a look.
"Tell your second uncle not to rush to buy land for the time being, and wait for me to tell your father and the emperor, and then let him buy land."
"Mother, do you really want to tell your father?"
"I must tell my father." Liang Zhaoyi knew what Zhao Yao was thinking, raised his hand and patted his head, "Mother knows it, don't worry about it." ”
When Zhao Yao heard this, he pinched his chin and looked Liang Zhaoyi up and down.
"Mother, when did you become so familiar with your father?"
Liang Zhaoyi was amused by Zhao Yao's words: "I am your father's concubine, and I am naturally familiar with your father." ”
"Mother, you know that's not what I said." Zhao Yao squinted his eyes and said, "Why do I think there is an adulterous affair between you and your father......
Before his words could be heard, his little head was struck hard. Liang Zhaoyi said angrily: "How can you speak." ”
Zhao Yao smiled flatteringly at Liang Zhaoyi: "I'm joking." ”
"If your father hears you say that, he'll spank you again."
When Zhao Yao heard this, he subconsciously reached out to cover his little buttocks.
"Buying land is not a trivial matter, and we have no relatives in the capital, so we can only tell your father."
"This is a very small time for my father, will my father pay attention to it?"
"Yes, because it's buying land for you." Liang Zhaoyi said seriously, "Your father won't care." ”
"yes, when did I become so important?" Zhao Yao didn't quite believe Liang Zhaoyi's words.
"You are the emperor's son." Liang Zhaoyi didn't say much, "You're going to go to the martial arts arena to learn martial arts later, pack up and prepare to go over." ”
"Oh, then I'll go." Zhao Yao changed his body and went to the martial arts arena.
As princes, Zhao Yao and they have learned a lot. Martial arts like mounted archery and martial arts are things they have to learn in addition to reading.
On the way to the martial arts arena, he met the four princes.
The weapon that the fourth prince learned was a spear, and he learned it well.
Zhao Yao has not yet reached the point of selecting weapons. He hadn't been learning martial arts for long, and he couldn't pick a weapon until he had learned the basics.
Although he can't learn weapons yet, he has already figured out what weapons to learn. He originally wanted to learn swords, after all, he was very handsome and chic in swinging swords, but the three princes all chose to learn swords.
The fact that the three princes learned swords does not mean that others cannot learn swords. However, Zhao Yao didn't want to learn swords like the three princes. He decided to learn knives later. Although the sword is not as delicate as the sword, it is more domineering than the sword.
On the way to the martial arts arena, Zhao Yao kept making a gesture of waving a knife, and asked the fourth prince if he was domineering.
When they arrived at the martial arts arena, the three princes and the five princes had already come and were practicing swords.
After a while, the Nine Emperor Princes came.
The Nine Emperors were born with great strength, and his weapon was an axe.
The last of the Seven Princes arrived, and he also learned the sword.
A moment later, the princes' masters came.
Because each prince chooses a different weapon, so the master who teaches them is also different.
The masters who taught the prince's martial arts were all soldiers in the army, and they were selected through "careful selection". Their popes are all genuine, not showy. To be precise, they teach all about their experience, which they accumulate on the battlefield.
The master who taught Zhao Yao the basic skills was named Fan Ruyi. Listening to the name, you would think that it was a delicate beauty, but I didn't expect it to be a strong man.
Although Fan Ruyi is not tall, he is agile and athletic. He was a general under Shen Hu, who went out with Shen Hu to quell the rebellion when he was young, and was accidentally blinded by the rebels. Later, Shen Hu recommended him to be the master of the princes and taught the princes to learn martial arts.
Zhao Yao obediently walked to the side of the martial arts arena and squatted up. Fan Ruyi stood aside and stared at him.
Just when Zhao Yao was squatting on the horse, Shen Hu and Chu Ying came to the martial arts arena.
When Fan Ruyi and several of his generals saw Shen Hu and them, they hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
The third prince and the fifth prince also hurriedly walked over and greeted Chu Ying and them.
Zhao Yao was still squatting and walking, so he didn't go over. Even if he didn't squat on the horse, he wouldn't have gone over to join in the fun.
Shen Hu and Chu Ying were the confidants of Emperor Wu of Zhou, and they were very important to the three princes, but not so important to Zhao Yao.
Every once in a while, Shen Hu and the others would come to the martial arts arena to see Fan Ruyi and a few of them, after all, a few of them came out of their military camp.
Facing the Third Princes and the Fifth Princes, Shen Hu and Chu Ying were a little impatient, but they were still very respectful. Their attitude, though, is detached.
The three princes knew in their hearts that Shen Hu and the others were not easy to win over, so they gave up the idea of buying them, but when they saw them, the three princes would greet them politely, after all, Shen Hu was the confidant general of Emperor Wu of Zhou.
After greeting Chu Ying and them, the three princes returned to their seats and continued to practice swords.
Shen Hu and the others quietly breathed a sigh of relief, glad that the three princes did not let them guide. In the past, when the acting king was practicing martial arts in the martial arts arena, the acting king would ask them for guidance, so that they were not guided, nor did they guide.
Seeing that there was a little doll squatting on the horse, squatting with sweat all over her face, but still clenching her teeth and insisting, Shen Hu and Chu Ying were a little surprised.
"Who's that little doll?"
Chu Ying thought for a while and said, "It should be the Ten Princes." ”
Shen Hu remembered: "It turned out to be him." ”
Emperor Wu of Zhou had ten sons, and Shen Hu couldn't look down on any of them. In addition to the crown prince and the acting king, they are most familiar with the third prince, the fourth prince and the fifth prince. As for the Seventh Prince, the Ninth Prince, and the Tenth Prince, they are not familiar with it.
Among the ten princes, the eighth prince and Zhao Yao were the most non-existent in front of the ministers. Neither of them ever appeared in the mouths of the ministers.
Shen Hu and Chu Ying walked over and saluted Zhao Yao, after all, Zhao Yao was the prince.
Zhao Yao hurriedly returned the salute and called out obediently: "General Shen, General Chu." ”
When they saw the dimple on the left corner of Zhao Yao's mouth, Shen Hu and Chu Ying were stunned.
Zhao Yao saw that they were staring straight at him, he thought that he had something on his face, and raised his hand to wipe it indiscriminately.
"General Shen, General Chu, what are you staring at me, is there something wrong with me?"
Shen Hu and Chu Ying came back to their senses and hurriedly said, "It's the minister's rudeness, there is nothing wrong with you, Your Highness the Ten." ”
Zhao Yao felt that Shen Hu was shocked when they looked at him just now, as if they had seen something incredible.
"Then I'll continue to squat." After saying that, he obediently continued to squat and walk.
"I won't bother you."
Shen Hu and Chu Ying didn't stay in the martial arts arena for a long time, and left after saluting Zhao Yao.
"Lao Chu, have you seen it?"
Chu Ying nodded and said, "I saw it." ”
"It's exactly the same as Prince Yiyong."
Chu Ying corrected: "It's just like dimples." ”
"Why haven't you heard the emperor talk about this?"
"What's there to say about that." Chu Ying glanced at the myth and felt that he was making too much fuss, "Except for dimples, the Ten Princes are not like Prince Yiyong in other places." ”
"Isn't that surprising?" Shen Hu didn't understand why Chu Ying was so calm, "Except for Prince Yiyong, I haven't seen anyone with only one dimple." ”
Chu Ying said with some disgust: "That's because you have seen too few people." ”
"I think it's amazing."
Shen Hu and Chu Ying didn't follow Emperor Wu of Zhou from the beginning. Several of them joined the army at a very young age, and at that time they were small soldiers under the account of Prince Yiyong. They served as soldiers under the Prince of Yiyong for three years, and they were later distributed by Prince Yiyong to Emperor Wu of Zhou.
Being a soldier under Prince Yiyong's account for three years was an unforgettable experience, and Shen Hu and the others are still unforgettable. In fact, it was Prince Yiyong who impressed them.
