Shangguan Yaohua snorted coldly and said, "I want the Remnant Shadow Sword, not because of how rare it is, but because I broke my sword for you, and the legitimate claim I want to take has nothing to do with anything else." As soon as this matter is settled, the two will be even. But you are the culprit who killed my whole family, and you will never be able to pay off this account. If you want this king to cooperate with you, you don't even have a door!" After saying that, he walked away, and Jiang Yanchen was a little dumbfounded when he heard it.

If you want to say that his strange illness is also for a reason. Since childhood, he has no one in his eyes, and he is the only one, that is, he believes that it is natural for others to criticize him, and he just needs to accept it calmly. Dark Night is his brother who grew up together, and the two often learn martial arts, or fight and quarrel, both of which are on an equal level, so naturally it's a different story.

When he became the leader of the Shadow Sacrifice Sect, and even the "Seven Evil Holy Monarchs" after him, due to the increasing power, many people who sought to live in peace turned against each other one after another, changing their methods to curry favor. In he is not at all unusual, even often disdainful. At this time, if someone tries to provoke the authority and ignores him, and the other person happens to be someone who can arouse some interest in him, it is natural to be doubly good to him, so as to achieve the transformation of him from unruly to submissive, which is a rare achievement.

At this time, watching Shangguan Yaohua turn around and leave in high spirits, a rare smile appeared on his cold face, and he said to himself: "Interesting...... Shangguan Yaohua, you wait and see. Someday, this seat will let you know how to write the word 'surrender'!"

From then on, day after day, most of Jiang Yanchen's energy was focused on besieging the city, as well as taking the time to teach Xuanshuang to practice martial arts, and take him to a nearby place to carry out tasks. Every time the sect and mountain villa are destroyed, it can be regarded as gradual, which is always trickier than the previous one. And Xuanshuang's heart knot can be untied, and he can cope with it more and more freely, and the task can always be completed excellently, which is quite a bit of his majesty back then. In addition to being relieved, there was also a little melancholy, coupled with Xuanshuang's fierce opposition, he rarely went to Shangguan Yaohua again. But in my heart, there is still a place for him, and sooner or later he will have to win it.

The biggest change is also the kung fu of Xuanshuang. When Li Yijie taught him again, he often felt that his understanding was higher than before, but he was a little less obedient in his temperament. However, the two have always been scarce when they get along, but they are not different. Occasionally mentioned it when chatting with others, over time, it gradually spread in the palace.

On this day, Shunzhi was in great spirits, and made a special trip to the martial arts training ground to see Xuanshuang's kung fu that was repeatedly boasted of "rapid progress" in Li Yijie's mouth, Shangguan Yaohua, Lu Qian, Cheng Jiaxuan and several officials also spontaneously accompanied him on the field. Li Yijie has seen many big battles, but he still feels a little nervous at this time, maybe it is still vanity. After saluting everyone, he did not forget to tell Xuanshuang a few words in private.

Xuanshuang was disapproving, but under the watchful eyes of everyone, he still put on the illusion of a humble apprentice, and thanked the teacher for his kindness. After a while, after several officials urged him repeatedly, he turned his head to Li Yijie with a relieved smile, straightened his clothes, walked in front of everyone, and bowed: "Huang Ama, my lords, my sons are here to make a fool of yourself." With his hands clenched into fists, he leaped up and landed in a circle surrounded by a stake not far away.

There are also low raised wooden stakes in the circle, which are arranged so tightly that even if you walk slowly in them, you will stumble if you are not careful. When Shunzhi and the others came, they had already glimpsed it, and the purpose was unknown at first, but at this time, it seemed that they were going to try out a set of kung fu in it. Just by looking at it, I also knew that this matter was extremely difficult, and everyone applauded and cheered.

Xuan Shuang opened his stance in the circle, punched and kicked his legs, and used a set of Huashan long fists, everyone on the field could see that he made a calm and light move, the law was in place and there was no lack of agility, and the inheritance and development of the outside were unique. At the same time, it constantly shifts its shape and steps, shuttling back and forth in the wooden stakes, like a dexterous thin line, easily avoiding the wooden stakes, and the footsteps are not hindered at all. I'm afraid that if I really look for a disciple who has been cultivating in Huashan for more than ten years, at least he may not be able to beat him in terms of recruitment.

Others have lived in the palace for a long time, and they don't know much about it, but Lu Qian is an expert here, and he has always studied the kung fu of the Huashan faction. The martial arts used by others are good or bad, and what are the advantages and disadvantages, he can see it at a glance. At this time, he also had to admire Xuan Shuang, raised his eyes and looked at Li Yijie who was standing with his hands on the side, his heart was sour, why did he have the ability to teach such a good apprentice?

Thinking of Shangguan Yaohua's showmanship at the banquet that day, he couldn't get past the addiction of the master, at least he couldn't attract his eyes to himself. It's like nowadays, whenever everyone praises Xuanshuang, they have to look at Li Yijie with reverence. And Li Yijie looked indifferent, with a calm demeanor that was not shocked. Lu Qian only said that he was deliberately pretentious, showing off his inconspicuousness, and deliberately showing off in front of him, and his anger was deeper.

Shangguan Yaohua frowned, and casually responded to a few words when everyone applauded, but it always seemed to be a heavy task, and anyone could see that his admiration was not from the heart. But all the officials paid attention to him, and no one paid attention to him.

Although Shunzhi looked at it with a smile on his face, he still had a shadow in his heart. At first, he still didn't believe in the matter of the bloody clothes, and thought that there might be a misunderstanding, and with Xuanshuang's kung fu, he was not strong among the brothers, how could he really commit a big crime outside? But now that he sees his skills, it must be more than enough to deal with a few small sects. It's hard to tell whether it's joy or sorrow.

Although the officials praised each other, it was their turn to seek their own profits, and they had to make detailed plans. It is because everyone in the audience has different thoughts, but only Cheng Jiaxuan, who rarely praises him, sincerely appreciates it.

At a certain stage, Xuan Shuang took advantage of the number of ways to hang down first and then lift the way, and pulled out a long sword from his waist, and it was done in one go, and the gap was not stiff at all, which attracted a lot of applause.

Xuan Shuang smiled faintly, shook his head slightly, shook off a few drops of sweat on his head, and then flipped his wrist, and the long sword held a few sword flowers, among which there was a white sword disc around the tip of the sword, adding a little more chic. The left knee sank, the right leg kicked back, and with the help of the force several turns, a sword slashed obliquely, cutting a thin piece of a wooden stake on the periphery, and falling to the ground, its thickness can also be seen from the side is extremely thin.

After that, he repeatedly performed this move, and his speed in the circle did not decrease, and the sword qi was everywhere, and he could cut off the wooden stake without even really touching it. What eventually landed on the ground was always a round flake that was no wider than a fingernail.

Finally, with a tap on the half-cut stump, he jumped up. In mid-air, his subordinates raised their swords and swung their swords, and a sword qi rushed out, cutting off the remaining few wooden stakes. Without waiting for any more time, before his feet could settle down, the blade of the sword swung several times, cutting the scattered pieces of wood of different sizes into thin pieces again, and the ground was soon covered with a handful of each. Xuan Shuang jumped out of the wooden circle, held the long sword in his arms, stood it in front of him, and said, "Let the emperor Ama and the princes laugh." The son was ashamed. ”

Shunzhi was very happy at this time, and even his worries had been diluted a lot, and he said with a smile: "What else do you say to laugh at? Although I am not very proficient in martial arts, I have seen a lot of performances by martial artists in the palace. I am not favoritism, and it is no exaggeration to say that with you in the palace now, even if you are among the first-class masters, it is not an exaggeration. Xuan Shuang said humbly: "Thank you Huang Ama for your praise, and the son is flattered." The sons are not talented, and their kung fu is only general, and they are by no means as good as the brothers. ”

Shunzhi said with a smile: "I want to say that they have been practicing for a longer time than you, but they are much shallower than you." I don't know what the trick is? Can you tell me and share one or two of it?"

Xuan Shuang said: "It's not remarkable. Master once taught his sons: 'There is no such thing as a supreme genius in the world, only a mediocre talent who does not work hard.' After hearing this, Erchen was greatly inspired, no matter what his natural qualifications are, as long as he can understand every move thoroughly, and do not hesitate to spend double, or even ten times and a hundred times more time for it, far beyond the time of others, he will definitely be able to achieve something. Reading is about 'reviewing the old and learning the new', and the same is true for martial arts. Erchen is relying on this almost clumsy perseverance, not afraid of the cold and heat, insisting on practice, and finally let my martial arts have such a little look. In front of others, it's not too much to handle. ”

Shunzhi smiled: "Excellent. All Aiqing have heard it, a child can still do this, if you can also hold this persistent spirit and govern the country diligently, why worry about not being able to make great achievements? This truth is very good, simple enough, but few people can really recognize it. He said to Li Yijie again: "It's hard for Li Qing's family to take such a long-term view." does not hide personal interests, is dedicated to the public, and is loyal to me, which is really a generation of virtuous ministers who can be counted among the names of my Qing Dynasty. Say, what gift do you want? Whatever you want, I'll do my best to meet it. ”

Li Yijie said: "Thank you, Your Majesty." "More than half of his credit is fake, but he doesn't feel anything unusual. Listening to Shunzhi's question this time, his face turned slightly red, and then he said: "Your Majesty, it is a blessing to be able to serve you." I didn't dare to ask for any heavy gifts, but I didn't know ...... Dare to ask: Does the emperor remember the promise he made a few days ago?"

Shunzhi gets along with his subordinates, and he has casually promised a lot, but what he really cares about has to be things closely related to himself. At this time, seeing that Li Yijie and Xuanshuang were full of expectation, he suddenly felt a little worried: Li Yijie don't want to take advantage of this loophole, and take the opportunity to persuade me to make Xuanshuang the crown prince? Hmph, the regent played a trick to pretend to be a ghost in order to show this intention. You just want to use both hard and soft to force me to come up with an idea as soon as possible, but I don't think I seem to have promised Li Yijie this kind of thing, so I don't think the situation will really be so bad.

Li Yijie couldn't wait for him to answer, and interjected first: "I am afraid of the position, and I am referring to the whereabouts of that Nangong girl." ”

Shunzhi's heart was relieved, and then a heartfelt apology arose, but seeing that his face was full of sincerity, it was not good to say that he had forgotten it truthfully. He responded vaguely: "Don't worry, Nangong Nuxia must not be in danger." The manpower investigation at the bottom finally has some direction. I believe that I will be able to give you a reply in a few days. ”

Li Yijie said happily: "More ...... Thank you, Your Majesty, I don't know how to thank you. After the humiliation...... I am willing to be a cow and a horse for the emperor to repay the grace of God!" he was so happy that he couldn't help but tremble a little when he spoke again.

Lu Qian was listening, originally thinking that Li Yijie could also ask someone to do things, which was already very surprising. At this time, I heard that it was related to Nangong Xue, and stepped forward and said happily: "What, Long Live Lord also wants to help find Nangong Xue's whereabouts?" Then the official Dai Lord Li, thank you to the Holy Lord Longen." ”

When Lu Qian first surrendered, Shunzhi thought that he was the leader of the anti-thieves who had been against him for six years, and it was the bandits of Qingtianzhai who caused the imperial court to repeatedly lose troops and generals, and his attitude was inevitably blunt. Even if he occasionally asked him to do things, he always picked a few small things and gave him real power.

Later, after some persuasion by Shen Shiyun, he said: "Govern each other, and each does its own duty." In the past, the two armies fought each other, and it is not surprising that there were some losses in the army. On the contrary, if you think in another way, it is precisely because he can make my Qing army suffer a lot of losses that it is more appropriate to prove that he is capable and capable, and if he can recover it with a small effort, so that he will be loyal to my dynasty wholeheartedly, but he will get the pearl and jade by throwing rubble. But if he blindly excludes him, he will be uneasy with the status quo, and perhaps he will rebel against it in the future, and it will become a big disaster. Please also ask the emperor to identify the interests and disadvantages, think twice before acting, and choose carefully. ”
