Chapter 18: Never change your mind, verify Kenshin

In the capital of Yuliang, in the imperial city. When Sikong broke into this city gate, looking at the geese flying in the sky, it should have moved back to the north, and the geese were sometimes lined up in a zigzag, sometimes in a word, as if they were going away in groups.

Sikong Duan returned to the palace, the eagle-eyed young man was practicing the palm technique, and the extremely talented young man seemed to be born to practice martial arts.

In less than a month or two, he has already mastered the trick of internal strength. From the external practice to the internal strength is only a month, it is directly the internal strength to blast out, although the internal breath cultivation is insufficient, it is difficult to support the growth of the palm method of the bombardment. The appearance of that move is not far from ten.

Liancheng saw that the swarthy young man was back, and there was a smile on his face: "Break, you are not at home to serve for a few more days, look at your sister more, don't you miss me when you come back so soon?"

"My father is in good health, so I don't bother you. I don't have to say that I'm practicing secretly at home. Sikong asserted the past.

The handsome young man listened for a long time before he said: "If this nine-style swordsmanship is only for one style, how long will it take to practice?"

"My father once said that if you can't practice this state of mind, you will only practice ordinary swordsmanship in the end. ”

As soon as these words came out, the young man in gorgeous clothes fell to the ground: "Could it be that my ancestors have not practiced at home?" It is only said that the Martial Emperor swept the land of Longyun, at least his skill is also between your father and uncle. Otherwise, it will not be able to convince the people. Wait a minute, I will pick out a style to practice, and I will not die until Huangquan's heart is not dead. ”

The handsome young man seems to be unwilling, but there is no other way, but fortunately, in addition to swordsmanship, there are palm skills to practice. It's not as boring as it used to be.

The wild goose flew farther and farther away until it was gone. The two people in this palace are like trapped birds in a cage.

The swarthy boy didn't think much about it, and only chose the long style. The young man in the fancy costume thought about it again and again, and felt that the power of the monarch was very strong. In the past, he used this trick to stun that Xie Wu, if it weren't for the sword not being sharp, it should have gone straight to the heart.

The Jun style is divided into two sections, the sword rises from the bottom, swings away from the attack, and the back arm is in the stab, or the heart or throat. When the fierce enemy is bullying, separate with strength and defeat the enemy with one move. It is for the gentleman to punish the power, and to strike later.

This style requires strong strength to defeat the enemy in one shot. It's very much in line with the taste of the young man in fancy clothes.

After the two of them, he waited for the swarthy young man to attack, specializing in practicing this countermeasure move, hoping to win with one sword.

Sikong didn't think much about it, this swordsmanship is his own, it is fate. If you don't practice, it's a pity, and if you can't practice, you won't have the opportunity to further your studies.

I chose the long style, in order to exercise my strength and extend my internal breath. This move is constantly attacking, and it is extremely fast. Although the strength is not as good as its style, it is the way to take the lead and the soldiers are fast.

Every time these two people practice, they attack and defend, and occasionally change their moves, but they each practice the two styles of "long and gentleman". The swarthy boy attacked quickly, and the sword momentum was endless, and the precision was incomparably accurate. The handsome young man blocked horizontally, his sword was steady and unstaggering, and he was fierce and unusually thrusting.

The two of them gave up the eight styles and each took one style to refine them. In addition to improving his own swordsmanship, he also has a deep understanding of another person's sword style. Forge ahead and forge ahead with each other.

Occasionally, one day, instead of the court meeting, it was the person in the gorgeous costume who was dressed in regular clothes and summoned Sikong Yu in the imperial study.

But the man on the other side was his eldest son. At present, the young man is weak and the crown is weak, and the crown ceremony has been performed in the Taimiao in two months, Ling Feng wears a black crown and is slightly red, the bundle of hair and green silk falls behind him, his face is fair and flawless, the crown is made of jade, and the figure is slender and beautiful. The scholar's tone came out from between his eyebrows, and a beautiful man from the Confucian sect stood next to the man in gorgeous clothes.

Sikong Yu naturally knew who it was, so he knelt down and bowed. The person in the costume is the contemporary emperor of the Jing Dynasty, and the one next to him is the emperor's eldest son, Murong Lingfeng.

The emperor gestured slightly to give the seat, and the white and beardless man ordered a round stool to be carried up. The general thanked him and sat upright, as if he did not dare to slack off.

The eldest son stood beside him, but did not sit down. Rather, it comes down the stairs. First made a regular salute: "I heard that the general has a miraculous feat, and I will see it today, and I am ashamed." The handsome boy spoke slowly, and his words came from the bottom of his heart and were full of sincerity.

The general stood up and held his arm as soon as he saluted, not daring to accept it. Ling Feng said again: "Although the general was born in the army, he has done a very good job of governing the people and stabilizing the country. I have read the books of sages for a long time, but I am far inferior to the generals. "Bow again.

The general hurriedly helped him up: "Childe praised it." The old man is just doing what he has to do. ”

At this time, the emperor in the gorgeous costume spoke, and the golden silk dragon robe on his body was agile and compelling: "The general is still young, and there are many inappropriate things in this Yuliang capital, and the widow is weak and does not dare to work for a long time." I want Ling'er to serve as the governor of Yuliang and the defense of the Northern Army. ”

As soon as these words came out, Sikong Yu immediately stood up: "I am deeply favored by the emperor, and the relationship between the Yuliang capital is complicated, and the last general will not dare to take on this important responsibility, for fear of losing the grace of the saint." ”

The emperor waved his hand slightly and motioned for him to sit down: "I know that the relationship between Beijing and China is complicated, and I am cautious about it. The general started from the end of the way, and when he got this opportunity, he didn't have to shirk. After speaking, it was Ling Feng who begged politely.

The general knew that he couldn't excuse himself, so he got up and thanked the emperor. Since ancient times, the land of princes is as deep as the sea, and the dispute in the court is like a sword. If you enter this path, you often can't help yourself.

The next day, at the court meeting, this will was announced, and the ministers either had different colors, or some who attached softly, or those who praised the saint's clear judgment, or those who were silent, the northern army was in charge of the patrol of the Beijing Division, and the main general called Jinwu, but it was the heavy responsibility of the safety of Yuliangdu, and it would not be easily replaced.

The two of them practiced swordsmanship, and for about half a year, the sword moves entered the realm, and the style was superb. The sword blade pointed to it, as if there was an invisible sword qi.

The two of them were excited, this swordsmanship was practiced to the level of Jianqi, which was at the level of swordsmanship. How to develop Jianqi in the future depends on internal strength rather than external force.

The handsome young man looked at the blade in his hand blankly, and felt very surprised: "Could it be that in the future, if this sword does not enter the body, it can be used to hurt people with this sword." I sighed in my heart the subtlety of "Huangji Imperial Sword", and read: "What my father said is very true, we will go to bed tonight, and how about sneaking out of the palace to meet him, so I can ask for advice?"

The young man did not want to steal the edict, but he wanted to sneak out to try how well he could do his leg skills.

That Sikong taught himself to use his internal strength to urge his feet and practice light skills, although it is not difficult to visit Yuewa, the difficult thing is how to deceive the guards in this palace.

The swarthy young man naturally saw through his thoughts, and thought for a while: "I can do this, but I'm afraid that Er Lian won't be able to get home." If it drags on, do you know the consequences? If the guards hold it, I am afraid that they will not be so comfortable in the future. ”

The young man in Chinese clothes waved his hand slightly: "You might as well do it, I know it." They agreed to go to bed early and sent away the servants. The two took advantage of the night to change into gray-black clothes, which were strong military uniforms to facilitate their actions.

The swarthy boy was at the head, and the eagle-eyed boy was behind him, and he didn't open the palace door, and flew out of the palace from the eaves, waiting for the guards to change shifts. I climbed over the palace wall, and half a moment later arrived at the general's palace.

The swarthy young man stepped forward and knocked on the door, and a small man opened the door, and when he saw that it was the young master, he hurriedly opened the door to welcome him in. Turning around to inform the master, Sikong Yu walked out of the main hall in a coat, and saw Aiko coming out late at night in a military uniform, and expected that he had stolen out: "Why did you leave the palace late at night, aren't you afraid of blaming?"

Without waiting for the Sikong to reply, a figure flashed out behind him, holding hands and saying: "Don't worry, general, we came from my grandfather, and we are disturbing late at night, don't blame the general." ”

The general looked at people, although he had never seen them, and he guessed eight or nine points in his heart. Hurriedly knelt down and said: "His Royal Highness Second came to visit late at night, and Weichen missed the welcome. ”

The young man stepped forward and helped the general: "General, please be polite, I don't like this red tape on weekdays." Hurry up. The general got up and invited him into the inner hall to sit down, and looked at the young man with an imposing look in his eyes. Although it is different from the eldest brother's courtesy and courtesy, it is a hawkish image, and there may be tenderness in the eyes. Aiko still stood in the hall, not daring to sit down.

Sikong Yu knew that he would visit late at night, and there must be something strange: "The prince of the world visited late at night, but he didn't know why he came?"

"The general is outspoken, very good, very good, I have never been like an elder brother who is beating around the bush, but I am here this time to seek advice from a teacher. ”

"I don't know what the prince is asking for, the old man is just a martial artist. The general clearly knew it in his heart, but he didn't want to speak out.

"If the general thinks that my sincerity is not enough, then I will give a disciple first. As he spoke, he got up and prepared to do something. The general didn't want to accept this big gift, so he got up and said: "The prince doesn't have to be like this, if there is a need, even if you say it bluntly, just treat it as an ordinary martial artist." ”

The handsome young man knew that apprenticeship would definitely not work, and he didn't care about these etiquettes if the goal could be achieved anyway. Sit down and open your lips lightly: "I knew the sky at the age of eleven, and I began to practice swordsmanship at the age of twelve or thirteen, and it has been seven years now. It's just better than ordinary martial arts. The general is strong in martial arts, and I am here to ask for advice. ”

The general is also a martial idiot, and he thought that he could also see the progress of Aiko's martial arts, so he said at the moment: "It's not very convenient here, go to the open space outside the courtyard." ”

In the courtyard of the lantern, the three of them stepped into the courtyard in turn, but what they saw was a wooden stake puppet, and a few red guns were placed on the shelf. But there was no sharp sword, and the young man didn't know how, but Sikong Yu said: "The sword method and others must be memorized by heart, but I have never practiced swordsmanship, you two can refer to the sword together, and practice it to see." ”

The two teenagers stood opposite each other, holding the sword style to attack each other, cultivating their fingers like silver snakes, one of them counted their fingers one after another, and one pointed at each other, and then attacked. With footwork one advance and one retreat, occasionally the palm is replaced, the change in the battle is a victory but there are many ordinary people, but it seems to be on par with the situation, the fingertip sword Qi seems to have a physical object, if you don't block, I'm afraid it will go straight to the heart.

The two practiced for more than half a moment, and Sikong Yu motioned for the two to stop. But I don't know what it seems. "The two of you have practiced quite well, and what is missing now is the number of changes in the battle, covering what the two of you have learned from each other, not like other martial arts, I don't know the details. Don't be careless when you encounter an enemy. He personally stepped forward to teach the handsome young man's palm moves, how to make moves in shape, and how to change his footwork.

The three of them were talking energetically, but someone came up, apparently attracted by the sound. The girl went to bed early and did not know the return of her eldest brother.

In the middle of the night, I heard a strange sound, got up and put on plain white clothes, tied a green ribbon around my waist, and straightened my temples slightly, and stepped out of the courtyard to look.

The daughter saw her father's brother and a teenager practicing martial arts in this courtyard, and it seemed that her father was teaching the two.

The three of them naturally saw the girl, and Sikong Duan smiled slightly and looked at his sister. The handsome young man caught a glimpse of Sikong Yao, and his heart fluttered.
