The inner courtyard of the palace, the imperial superintendent.

"Today, hundreds of schools of martial arts are in full bloom, not to mention the countries of Goryeo, Dongying, and Mobei, just in the land of Zhongzhou, there are more than 1,000 martial arts families with complete martial arts inheritance, among which everyone is familiar with the Xijing Yan family, the Tangmen in Shuzhong, and the Shenjian Villa in the north......"

The open space of Nuoda was full of royal children of the Xiao family, and two lecturers of the Zongwu Academy, a man and a woman, wearing gold-inlaid fire phoenix robes, were talking about the history of martial arts in the Central Plains.

Most of the princes and county lords below are hovering around the first and second grades, and there are even those who have not broken through the quenching body, so they are full of yearning for the future martial arts road, listening attentively, and yearning for it.

In the inconspicuous last row, when Her Royal Highness the Fourth Princess of the Dynasty sat on the master, a pair of slender long legs that did not match her age were picked on the knees of the young man next to her without any scruples.

While eating the apple, she asked the other party eagerly: "You should say it quickly, what happened to Zhao Zilong, did you save the child?"

"Well, that's right...... Princess, can you put down your precious feet a little, and then let's tell the story properly? Don't worry! Zhao Zilong will never let you down!"

Li Ran looked at the girl's snow-white long legs on her knees speechlessly: "This ...... It's not very proper. ”

"Why don't you follow the rules? Isn't this what Jun Shilang does, I think it's good, you serve very well, better than Xiao Zhouzi, and then press, use some force." ”

Xiao Wan'er was like a little lion, opened her mouth widely, took a bite of the apple violently, and said indistinctly: "Of course, if you are not happy, I will find those little crows, it really can't work, and the big and thick wild boar essence, the evil is a little disgusting, and you can make do with your eyes closed." ”

, listen, is this really human talk!

This is not married yet, so I want to bring a green hat to Lao Tzu.

Li Ran felt aggrieved in his heart, thinking that he was a suave, smart and wise peerless beautiful man with the aura bonus of an immortal cultivator, and now he was giving a little girl a piece, beating his legs and pinching his feet, it was simply too ...... Insulting.

But after all, this girl really talked this time, and directly drove Huang Qiusheng and others back to the other courtyard, no matter how Li Dehai and others persuaded her, it seemed that she couldn't wait for the empress's holy decree, and she was already a gentleman. What's more, Li Ran had already thought about it, and when he had cultivated enough, he would directly transcend this world, and when the time came, how could Lao Tzu care about your Xiao family, the empress?

Anyway, what is this empress's inkblot? Not like her style?

A few days ago, for Xiao Liuyan's incident, he entered the palace late at night to show off a wave, and the reward arrived early the next morning!

Could it be ...... She regretted giving me her daughter?

It doesn't make sense.

Li Ran couldn't figure it out, something like this without warning and without motive, even with his crooked intestines, he couldn't think of a famous name.

A woman's heart, a needle under the sea.

"Zhao Zilong, I want to listen to Zhao Zilong, why are you stunned, if you don't talk about it, he will die in Changban Slope!" Xiao Wan'er patted him on the chest with an anxious face.

Li Ran hurriedly came back to his senses and said: "In other words, this Zhao Zilong is wearing a silver gun and silver armor, and after arriving at Changban Slope, it is a left and right block, like entering a no-man's land......"

It's been a long time since I've told the little kid nonsense, and as soon as he got into the state, a gentle and delicate girl of fifteen or sixteen years old walked over.

It was the third princess who had a relationship with him at Shenwumen Square at that time, and also helped him speak, Xiao Yanshuang!

"Third sister, you're here. ”

Xiao Wan'er smiled and pointed to the position next to her: "Come, sit next to me, and I'll tell you a story about the Romance of the Eight Kingdoms!

"It's the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Li Ran couldn't help but add.

"It's pretty much the same. Xiao Wan'er stuck out her tongue, "Third sister, why didn't you see your gentlemen?" ”

That Xiao Yanshuang was looking at Li Ran in a daze, and reacted violently: "Fourth sister, Elder Wuxin, let you and your gentlemen sit at the front, you are the emperor's daughter...... Unruly in the back. ”

"By the way, what about your other princes?" Xiao Yanshuang swept around and found that there were no men around except for a few female officials and eunuchs.

"No, those guys are noisy and stupid, I'll have him enough. Xiao Wan'er pointed at Li Ran: "Third sister, let me tell you, he is super powerful!

Before the word "Dan" could be spoken, Li Ran hurriedly smiled dryly: "Princess, you promised me, this is the secret between us." ”

"Oh, yes!" Xiao Wan'er nodded heavily: "I almost forgot." ”

She paused, and wanted to say more, but she didn't expect Xiao Yanshuang's face to turn red, and she said softly: "Fourth sister, of course I know that Li Shilang is very powerful, I have seen it with my own eyes......"

"Huh, when have you met?" asked Xiao Wan'er as if she were a curious baby.

"Fourth Highness, don't talk so much, let's go to the front row with Her Royal Highness the Third Princess, don't make it difficult for the elders. Seeing that this girl was endless, Li Ran hurriedly spoke.

......

The group came to the front row and sat down, and Li Ran only then realized that Xiao Lingqiu, a woman, had actually come!

The worst thing is that Xie Huan, a dead little white face, is sitting in the first position next to her!

Xiao Lingqiu also seemed to notice that Li Ran was coming, and after a slight glance in his eyes, he moved away, with a feeling that he didn't take him seriously at all.

However, Li Ran vaguely felt an aura of conspiracy from this electric and flint eye contact, but he couldn't simulate what it was, after all, his current identity, in this scene, what did Xiao Lingqiu do to him?

Maybe I'm too sensitive to this woman, right?

Li Ran thought so, and didn't bother to pay attention to him, so he immediately took advantage of Xiao Wan'er's inattention, looked around, looking for the mighty goddess who helped him get out of trouble twice-Princess Qingxue!

Oh wrong, he's a serious person!

He thinks he should be looking for ....... Ma Wenjie, a fat man, right?

Definitely, yes.

Next, after some inspection, nothing was found!

Hey, disappointed, disappointed, lost all directions.

Li Ran shook his head, and suddenly felt that this martial arts teaching was boring.

At this time, the male and female lecturers on the stage began to explain the "style" in the four basic introductions of secular martial arts, "heart", "body", "qi" and "style", which is commonly known as the moves, swordsmanship, fists, feet, and whips.

I saw these two people flying away on the stage, you come and go, advancing and retreating like electricity, the magic of the martial arts realm not only caused the audience to applaud, but even Li Ran, a high-level immortal cultivator, was secretly amazed.

These two people, Li Ran saw during the Great Dynasty Meeting, are the Xiao family's royal family, the strongest two of the existing second-generation elders, Xiao Wuxin and Du Jianxiong. The two of them have seven grades of internal strength and martial arts strength, second only to the current empress.

What is very visually striking is that these two people, the woman looks like she is in her forties at most, with a variety of charms, and the other man named Du Jianxiong is thin and old, as if he is over seventy years old, and these two people are actually husband and wife!

This female lecturer Xiao Wuxin is the sister of the former "Empress Guanghua", and she is also the aunt of the current Empress Xuanyue and the "Empress Qingya" who died by self-immolation.

And this Du Jianxiong is naturally Xiao Wuxin's gentleman.

Why does the two seem to be so far apart?

This matter, Li Ran was also on the way back from the Great Dynasty to listen to Li Dehai, the old eunuch.

It turns out that the bloodline of the Xiao family has a very magical power, the descendants of women, in all probability, are far more talented in martial arts than men, even if one or two awesome geniuses occasionally emerge, but the strongest in the same generation is definitely the princess and the county lord.

What's even more fantastical is that once the women of the Xiao family pass the age of forty, their appearance and skin will not change in any way.

Since the founding of the Great Xuan, the longest-lived empress, that is, Xiao Wuxin's mother, Empress Tianlan, ninety-eight years old, is said to have died when she still looked as beautiful as a fairy.

Although this kind of magical power is nothing compared to an immortal cultivator like Li Ran, who has a longevity limit of tens of millions of years, the key is that the Xiao family is mortal, and if it is a mortal, it cannot escape the aging of the body and the relaxation of the hue, and the women of this family are perfectly eliminated, typical "You are not allowed to see white heads in the world." ”

According to the official statement in the palace, the women of the Xiao family were favored by the ancient Qingluan Ancestral God, so they were eternally noble and beautiful, of course Li Ran didn't believe these baseless.

He faintly felt that all this was still related to the Founding Emperor and the Empress of Shenyue.

Yes, when he saw the Holy Tattoo Stone for the first time, he made a guess that this Divine Moon Empress was most likely a martial arts saint and a supreme person who transcended the mortal body.

He was thinking about it, Xiao Lingqiu's voice came faintly next to him, no way, people who cultivate immortals, their ear power is what they want, and those who don't want to hear it, they are all invited.

I only heard Xiao Lingqiu say with emotion: "I really envy Elder Wuxin and Elder Du, who can sing with their husbands for the rest of their lives and accompany each other forever." ”

Li Ran couldn't help but glance at it, only to see Xie Huan's rabbit master with a disgusting face, uh, of course, Li Ran's disgusting expression, and said: "Your Highness, I am willing to be like Elder Du did to Elder Wuxin, or even worse, before and after the saddle, I will serve you all my life." ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand.

That Xiao Lingqiu smiled and gently held his hand, domineering and introverted like her, at this time, since she showed the shyness of a little girl: "Lang Jun's heart, I am the same." ”

Eh, it's disgusting.

Li Ran felt that his eyes were strong, and his curiosity killed the cat.

But...... This Xiao Lingqiu decided to thank Xie Huan so quickly, it's too rigid, right? There are still a few gentlemen around her who are looking at it with blank eyes!

But it's also expected to think about it, hasn't he Li Ran himself been determined by Xiao Wan'er?

The woman of the Xiao family is just right.

Li Ran sighed in his heart.

"Li Ran, you say...... Our future relationship will be like that between Elder Wuxin and Elder Du?"

Xiao Wan'er got a banana out of nowhere, and the attributes of a foodie are a bit similar to Li Ran.

"Wow, Her Royal Highness the Princess can see this, it's so wise, it's true. Li Ran said with a smile.

"Isn't that obvious?"

Xiao Wan'er thought for a while, and her eyebrows furrowed: "Why do I always feel like you're laughing at me!?"

"No, absolutely not, Her Royal Highness the Princess is really wise, and I have only seen it in my next life. Li Ran's expression was firm and sincere.

After speaking, my heart was simply refreshed! People in this world naturally don't know the meaning of "stalk" of wisdom, which is the meaning of ruo wisdom.

Xiao Wan'er pouted, and wanted to say something, but suddenly Elder Nadu on the stage said loudly: "Next, let's start to explain the "Qi" in the "Four Pivots of Martial Dao" for everyone!"

The female elder Xiao Wuxin, phoenix eyes looked around the audience, and then said: "The so-called qi, for our martial artists, is naturally the "internal breath" bred in the dantian, and it is also the root of the internal force that the martial artist instills into the physical body.

"That's a good point. Elder Nadu continued as if singing: "A martial artist with normal qualifications, after reaching the second-grade realm, can condense the internal breath and initially release it from the body, forming a sword-like and powerful qi, but the same practitioner is the next, and the power and volume of the external qi energy vary from person to person and from specific exercises to the specific exercises. ”

In addition to Xiao Lingqiu, Xie Huan, and a group of martial arts scholars, most of the royal children are fledgling martial artists, and at most they are only second-class.

At this moment, the enthusiasm of the audience is high, and the discussion is endless, I think it is the realm of "internal strength and external release", and I hope that I am looking forward to the extreme!

The female elder Xiao Wuxin nodded at her husband and continued: "In order to give you an intuitive demonstration, so as to have a deep understanding of the martial arts elite congress the day after tomorrow, there are just three princesses' junshilang present today, they are all selected from all over the country, how about we draw two of them today and come up to demonstrate for you?"

"Good!" shouted the audience.

"Wow, that's great! I saw Xie Huan, the son of Wujue! He's still the princess of our Lingqiu princess! handsome and strong, it's perfect! I'm looking forward to him playing!" a delicate-looking county lord screamed.

"And the Xiangbei swordsman Chen Feng! He is the youngest Xiangbei No. 1 sword! I am optimistic about him! No worse than Xie Huan!" A prince next to him said disdainfully.

"In my opinion, these two are the two pioneers appointed by the imperial court in this martial arts conference, and they are not weak, right?"

"However, I remember that the son of the six doors catches the head, Wu Kun seems to be also the gentleman of Her Royal Highness the Fourth Princess, how can he ...... Didn't see him?"

"Eh, the super handsome little brother next to Princess Wan'er, could it be the Wu Kun you are talking about!" exclaimed a county lord in exclamation.

"Nonsense, they all say that you women have long hair and short knowledge, right? His name is Li Ran, and he is the elder brother of Li Huan, one of the four pioneers, this person...... I heard that there is talent, looking at his aura and figure, I'm afraid that martial arts is not good. ”

Another Wang Shizi, who seemed to be deep and slightly older, analyzed.

The atmosphere of the audience was warm, and the princes and county lords exchanged heads and discussed enthusiastically.

the groove.

Isn't this going to get me?

This force, Lao Tzu doesn't want to pretend!

Li Ran's heart sank, and he suddenly looked at Xiao Wan'er on the side, only to see that this girl had been-

Fall asleep!

Awesome or you, you can sleep soundly when it's so noisy.

Li Ran was really convinced.

After thinking about it, I still asked the female officer next to me to hand over a coat for Xiao Wan'er to put on, after all, it is winter, this girl has no internal strength, and it is not good if something happens in the cold.

Of course, the most important thing is that he still does it for the people around him.

At this moment, on the stage, Elder Xiao Wuxin had already taken out a roster and began to roll her names, only to see that her eyes were deep, she swept up and down, and shouted: "Please Princess Junshilang, thank you for the samurai, come up and demonstrate for everyone." ”
