Chapter 19: The Noble Son of the Imperial Family

After leaving Zhao Yuan's study, Liu Xunyi tossed and turned all night and couldn't sleep, and what Zhao Yuan said always echoed in his mind, and he couldn't disperse for a long time.

......

"Looking for clothes, Ben Hou knows that this matter is not trivial, and it is not easy for you to successfully persuade the famous Luo Tianjin by yourself, but now my Great Song Dynasty soldiers and horses, food and salary are all in short supply, and the imperial court is really difficult to come up with a comprehensive strategy for a while except with the help of the power of the rivers and lakes......"

"If you abandon the rivers and mountains in the north, then the next goal of the Mongolian iron hoof is to go south to completely encroach on the Great Song Dynasty, and now the country has reached a precarious situation, with the help of the martial arts heroes in the north is not only to recover the rivers and mountains, but also to contain the energy of the Mongolian army, at least I can make the Great Song Dynasty continue to be in a corner of peace without being disturbed, after all, it is ...... that Xu Tu needs enough time to forge ahead."

"Luo Tianjin can't help but have the ability to command the martial arts heroes, and make friends with the gentry and rich men in the world, if he can get his help, then whether it is the scarcity of soldiers and horses or the lack of financial resources, all problems will be solved. Therefore, winning over Luo Tianjin is definitely a foolproof strategy to kill multiple birds with one stone......"

"Looking for clothes, among the people in Tianji Pavilion, you are the most qualified to take on this position, Ben Hou knows that you have always liked to make friends on the rivers and lakes, so you will definitely not show your feet when you sneak into the Xianwang Mansion with your temperament. Luo Tianjin likes to make friends with heroes, with your martial arts and character, you will definitely be able to attract Luo Tianjin's attention and absorption, and then the wind and water in the Xianwang Mansion will rise, and the prime minister's major event will be half of it......"

"Also, you must remember not to reveal your identity to Luo Tianjin, so as not to fall short. People in the martial arts are often contemptuous and hostile to the government, so if you want to be safe and sound, remember not to reveal your true identity. And there is also an advantage to doing this, that is, you can pretend to be a person in the rivers and lakes, and secretly make friends with heroes from all walks of life in the martial arts, in case you can't convince Luo Tianjin, then you can also rely on your three-inch incorruptible tongue to make close friends Xiao Yiyi, and win them over to persuade Luo Tianjin together. Luo Tianjin's status today must like face, if you can attract some martial arts colleagues to persuade together, the chances of success will be much greater......"

"Xunyi, you must remember that this is not only for the Great Song Dynasty, but also for the status of Dongfu and the dignity of Tianji Pavilion, but also for yourself. As long as you can do this, it will be an immortal meritorious service for the Jiangshan Society of the Great Song Dynasty, and when the time comes, don't say that it is the 'Xinde County Lord', even if it is the 'Xinde Princess', you are also qualified to marry. Whether you and Lord Xinde can tie the knot and end up with a good thing depends on your own ability......"

......

It wasn't until the sky was dark and bright, and Liu Xunyi, who was distraught, fell asleep in a daze. In the dream, Liu Xunyi dreamed of Zhao Xin again as always, but in this dream, he and Zhao Xin were no longer beaten by people's sticks, no longer sneaky private trysts, no longer reluctant tears, and no longer watched Zhao Xin marry other princes and nobles, and then cried so much that the sky fell.

This scene is Liu Xunyi's rare dream, he dreamed that he successfully persuaded Luo Tianjin to come to Lin'an and discuss the plan to restore the country with the prime minister, and the emperor in the Golden Palace on meritorious deeds, he was awarded a loyal and brave general, and under the matchmaking of the prime minister and Zhao Yuan, the emperor ordered marriage, Zhao Xin wore a red suit and knelt with him on the Golden Palace to thank Tian'en, the two of them were smiling and smiling, and the court was full of congratulations inside and outside the court.

"Bang, bang!"

A quick knock on the door suddenly woke Liu Xunyi from his dream, Liu Xunyi was still lying on the bed with his legs crossed, and asked lazily, "Who is it?"

"Lord Liu, last night you ordered the villain to go to King Rong's Mansion to meet the little prince, and in the morning, the little prince ordered someone to come and invite Lord Liu to come over the mansion. The little guy outside the door hurriedly replied, his words also made Liu Xunyi gradually sober up, yesterday he received Zhao Yuan's order in the study, knowing that he was going to leave Lin'an for Luoyang City soon, so he wanted to meet Zhao Xin before leaving, but according to the current situation, he naturally could not go directly to see Zhao Xin, so he could only meet Zhao Xin privately under the pretense of meeting the little prince Zhao Yu. This remark has long become a secret between Liu Xunyi, Zhao Yu and Zhao Xin, so the little prince Zhao Yu sent someone to invite this morning, and his purpose is naturally to secretly complete the tryst between the two of them.

"Oh!" Liu Xunyi exhaled lightly, recalling the dream just now, a look of joy couldn't help but appear on his face, and he said loudly, "I know, you go down!"

"Lord Liu, you have to hurry. The little girl's voice sounded a little bitter, and before Liu Xunyi could ask, the little girl was already a little anxious and said, "The little one came to report it once in the morning, and at that time Lord Liu said that he already knew, but now it is noon, and Lord Liu still hasn't moved for a long time, and the little one thinks ......."

"What?"

The little guy's words were like a blow to the head, causing Liu Xunyi to turn over and rise suddenly, and jumped to the door with one body. The door opened, but seeing Liu Xunyi's eyes full of urgency, he grabbed the little girl's arm, and hurriedly asked, "What time do you say it is?"

"It's noon, Lord Liu......" The little guy looked up at the sky with aggrieved eyes, "If you don't move again, the little prince should be looking for a little trouble......"

"Why didn't you wake me up earlier?

Liu Xunyi didn't finish complaining, and the others had already bypassed the little guy and rushed out of the courtyard quickly.

The Rongwang Mansion in the north of Lin'an City is a high-walled and deep mansion, which is extraordinary, and it is the largest mansion in Lin'an City except for the Imperial Palace.

At this moment, in the back garden of King Rong's mansion, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old young man with a slightly bloated figure is wielding a sword indiscriminately, and the blade of the sword is slashing at the vegetation in the garden, chopping the fragrant flowers in all directions.

The young man fiddling with the sword was simply slashing, but even so, the few slaves and maids around him still clapped their hands and praised one after another, and applauded one after another, and the beautiful words were endless, but they turned a deaf ear to those poor famous flowers.

In fact, this is not to blame these slaves and maids for being flattering, after all, the young man in front of him who is dancing the sword indiscriminately is their master, the little prince of the Rongwang Mansion, and the nephew of the current emperor, Zhao Yu.

With Zhao Yu's status and status, don't say that he destroyed a few famous flowers, even if he burned down the entire back garden, I am afraid that no one would dare to say anything bad.

Zhao Yu's appearance is quite mediocre, and there is even a faint hint of sluggishness between his eyebrows, and his smile is a little dull and silly. If you change it to ordinary people, I am afraid that it will be regarded as a stupid and stupid person, but if it is replaced by the little prince of Rongwangfu, it is born simple, with amazing bones, and extraordinary.

"The little prince's swordsmanship is superb, and it is really a five-body throw that the little ones admire!"

"Little Wangye, cut that, cut that! Oh, it's amazing!"

Zhao Yu waved his sword proudly under the starry moon-like service, and from time to time he turned his head to look at Zhao Xin who was sitting on the stone bench not far away, and said with a smile: "Sister Xin, what do you think of the swordsmanship I practiced? This sword was bought by me for a lot of money, and the sword seller also taught me a set of swordsmanship, which is the set of 'falling flowers and falling leaves swordsmanship' that I am practicing now, and the sword seller said that this set of swordsmanship is a martial arts mastery, and after learning it, you can fight all over the world invincible." Do you see how I got it all morning? hehe......"

"Then it doesn't need to be said, the little prince has already become a small success after only one morning of practice, and he will be able to achieve a great success with a little practice in the afternoon. Haha......" Without waiting for Zhao Xin to answer, the slaves on the side were already hurriedly complimented.

Zhao Xin smiled absentmindedly at Zhao Yu, and prevaricated: "Not bad!

Looking at Zhao Xin's blank appearance, Zhao Yu naturally knew it, and said with a smile: "Sister Xin, don't worry, the master will be there soon." "Zhao Yu's 'master' is Liu Xunyi, Liu Xunyi has accompanied him to practice martial arts since he was a child, so he is very familiar, because Liu Xunyi is a few years older and has strong martial arts, so he is deeply admired by Zhao Yu, and even recognized as a master by him without authorization, although Rong Wang Ye and Zhao Yuan both think that such an apprenticeship is unseemly and cannot be counted, but this does not prevent Zhao Yu from entertaining himself. As for Liu Xunyi, he has no right to oppose in front of Zhao Yu, so he can only mess around.

"Subordinates knock to see the little prince, knock to see the lord of Xinde!"

Just when Zhao Yu was leading people to frolic, Liu Xunyi had been introduced into the back garden by his subordinates, and as soon as he saw Zhao Yu and Zhao Xin, Liu Xunyi immediately knelt down and saluted.

"Okay, okay, you all get out of the way!" Zhao Yu blasted away the slaves beside him, ran to Liu Xunyi in two steps with the sword, and did not shy away from hooking up with Liu Xunyi, and said affectionately, "Master, why did you come? Sister Xin and I have been waiting for you for half a day, if you don't come to my 'Falling Flowers and Falling Leaves Sword', you will have to practice, and when the time comes, master, you can't beat me, don't be angry." Hey hey ......"

"What...... Falling flowers and falling leaves sword?" As soon as Liu Xunyi entered the back garden, his eyes fell on Zhao Xin, so he was a little absent-minded about Zhao Yu's enthusiasm.

"Wow!" Zhao Yu didn't seem to see that he was a little redundant, and took the sword and displayed it in front of Liu Xunyi, "What do you think of this sword? ”

Liu Xunyi could see at a glance that this sword was ordinary, but instead of being extraordinary, the workmanship was rough, and the decoration was redundant and cumbersome, so it could not be regarded as a competent weapon at all. But because of Zhao Yu's face, he still laughed and said: "This sword is not bad." It's just that the little prince was still practicing boxing a few months ago, why did he suddenly change to sword training today?"

Zhao Yu couldn't help but pout, and said: "I asked you to teach me the invincible boxing technique, but you let me drive wooden stakes all day long, tired and boring, it is better to practice swords." ”

Zhao Yu has such a temperament, although he has practiced martial arts since he was a child, he still has not achieved anything until today. The reason for this is precisely because he is in the twilight and cannot persevere in his character. In addition, his status is respected, no one in the palace dares to force him to practice, and Liu Xunyi does not dare to come hard, so he has become a weak appearance like today, with no strong hands and feet, and even basic skills.

"Little prince, Zama is like a rock to be regarded as having roots under your body, you Zama is not real and fighting with people is rootless, no matter how powerful the kung fu in your hands is, you will suffer. Liu Xunyi, as always, comforted bitterly, "I let you Zama for two hours a day to exercise your next ......."

"I don't understand, I don't understand!" Zhao Yu waved his hand impatiently, threw the sword in his hand to Liu Xunyi, and said with a smile, "Master, your swordsmanship is not bad, play two tricks to see, how is it better than my falling flowers and falling leaves swordsmanship?"

Liu Xunyi couldn't help but smile bitterly, now he just wants to talk to Zhao Xin, where is he in the mood to accompany Zhao Yu to practice swords? But seeing Zhao Yu's unyielding appearance, Liu Xunyi could only carry the sword to the open space full of broken flowers, waiting for the opportunity to look at Zhao Xin and smile.

"You are all optimistic, my master's swordsmanship is also peerless. Zhao Yu beckoned a group of slaves to come forward, and praised proudly, "It's all good, write it down for me, and I'll learn when I go back!"

Liu Xunyi stood still with the sword, paused for a moment, and suddenly turned the sword edge with his wrist and came out, straight to the crumbling white remnant flower on the flower branch and cut it down, not waiting for the remnant flower to land, Liu Xunyi picked up the sword in his hand, and the remnant flower fell firmly on the tip of the sword impartially, allowing Liu Xunyi's sword blade to fly up and down, the movement was smooth, sometimes fast as lightning, sometimes slow like ripples, but this remnant flower never flew away from the sword body. But seeing a silver light throwing out a cloud of white shadows flying up and down around Liu Xunyi, such as torrential rain and snow, accompanied by a series of sounds of "whoosh", the scattered flowers and willows that had just been cut down by Zhao Yu were reborn under Liu Xunyi's sword at this moment, and they were trimmed neatly in the blink of an eye.

"As the saying goes, the knife is like a tiger, the sword is like a flying phoenix, the knife is black, the sword is green, the sword is not overheaded, the knife is not elbowed, the sword is not touched, and the stick is not sounded. Therefore, it is difficult to practice a sword in 100 days, practice a gun in 1000 days, and it is difficult to practice a sword in 10,000 days. No blade can be used overnight, and the little prince still needs to practice hard to be the best policy. Liu Xunyi patiently explained to Zhao Yu while dancing the sword, and finally the sword blade came straight out and stopped steadily in front of Zhao Yu, and the remnant flower still fell steadily on the tip of the sword, as if it had taken root in the sword body.

Zhao Yu slowly stretched out his hand with amazement in his eyes, and carefully touched the remnant flower on the tip of the sword, but it was this weak force that caused the remnant flower to scatter to the ground in an instant. Zhao Yu snorted lightly, then turned around and knocked the head of the servant beside him heavily, and reprimanded: "Why is it a small success in half a day? The master danced the sword so fast This flower has never wavered, I just touched it lightly and fell off, which shows that there is a world of difference between me and the master's swordsmanship." Throw it away, don't practice swords, let's practice boxing again!"

"Little prince, the key to close combat is to fight immediately, to fight immediately, to fight with moves, to fight with moves, and to fight with ......"

"I know, master, you talk to Sister Xin, I'll let them accompany me to practice boxing elsewhere!" Without waiting for Liu Xunyi's careful advice, Zhao Yu couldn't wait to pull a few slaves and walk out of the garden, "Master and Sister Xin have something to say slowly, no one in the house is here, and no one will disturb you." Hey hey ......"

Before the words fell, in Liu Xunyi's helpless gaze, Zhao Yu had already taken people away. Liu Xunyi, who wanted to stop talking, could only sigh lightly after all, and then turned his gaze back to Zhao Xin who was sitting on the side, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile with tenderness.
