Volume Three, Wings, Chapter 176: The confrontation with Prince Huai's mansion
Feng Yu, who had been silent all night and had something on his mind, naturally did not participate in the bonfire party and stayed alone in the camp.
Early the next morning, Feng Yu went down the mountain early and rushed back to Prince Huai's Mansion.
Just as the guards opened the door of the palace, Feng Yu stepped in with his front foot. Before his back foot came, Xiaolan and the others stood in front of him with everyone in the palace.
"Congratulations, Your Highness!"
The people who couldn't retreat in the face of the King of Side by Side were actually frightened by these helpless people.
Feng Yu helplessly satirized himself in his heart: He failed, his mood is still unstable, he lacks experience, and his state is far from what his second grandfather had been for decades.
"You all know it."
Xiao Ju happily ran forward and took Feng Yu's coat, "Of course, I knew it early in the morning. Before Your Highness came back, most people in the capital already knew it. It seems that not a single student failed in this assessment.
!This is a blessing for our country, Tang!"
"Okay, it's not a big deal. Help me get ready. I'm going to take a bath. I'm tired after two days and I'm very dirty."
"Yes, the servants have been ready for a long time. We are waiting for your highness to come back. Let's take a bath first, and then the food in the kitchen should be ready. Today is worth celebrating."
"It's good that you are thoughtful."
Feng Yu walked directly towards his dormitory. As he walked, he felt more and more that something was not right and his pace slowed down.
While walking, Yaya asked Xiaozhu and the others, "By the way, nothing happened in the past two days, right?"
"It's okay, everything is as usual. Oh, by the way, Your Highness, we have hired some new chefs in Prince Huai's Mansion. The food they cook is very delicious. You can try it later."
As expected, it is a film about a little girl, her mind is too immature, she can be so happy just because she cooks delicious food.
However, since they didn't notice it, there was no need to scare them.
"Let's go, you guys can give me a few massages by the way. My back is sore and it's really painful."
"Yes, Your Highness."
In the dormitory, Jun Xie's sword was put back on the sword stand, and Feng Yu also enjoyed the excellent treatment from Prince Huai. He closed his eyes and soaked in the big bathtub. The water still contained milk and flower petals. Feng Yu couldn't help but
Yes, Xiaozhu said it was good for his skin. The girls were heating the water and giving him massages to relieve fatigue.
"Hmph, the martial arts assessment is too difficult. Look at His Highness, there are many bruises on his body, and several are even purple!"
"That is, our Highness is a prince, shouldn't he receive preferential treatment?"
"Fortunately, I have already graduated. If I practice for a few more years, I will be tortured to death."
Listening to each of them talking more and more outrageously, Feng Yu felt funny and angry.
"Okay, okay, I know you feel sorry for me, but don't speak out loud. The martial arts academy was appointed by successive emperors of the Tang Dynasty. Now the old prince is in charge, so he is not the target of your nonsense. Be careful that trouble comes from your mouth. Also,
Since I am a child of the royal family, I should set an example and strive to be a role model. No matter what kind of preferential treatment there is, everyone in the martial arts academy will be treated equally. If there is a hierarchy here, how can we still recruit talented people who can truly serve the country?
!”
Several people pouted and did not dare to refute.
"Oh, I understand, slaves don't dare to make random comments anymore."
Feng Yu tapped their little heads with his wet hands, "You are just teenage girls. If I have the chance, I will definitely send you to school and come back with something learned."
Hearing this, several people stopped what they were doing and asked, "Why did His Highness suddenly say this? Is it because he dislikes what we have not done enough?"
Feng Yu was stunned for a moment, and then realized that they had misunderstood her meaning.
"What are you thinking about? I don't mean that you are not good at prostitutes or waiters, but why don't you go to a school where you really study and read more about ancient humanities?"
"That's of no use. We have no need to serve His Highness. Girls can't get the honors. What can we do if we are delayed in serving His Highness? If I am delayed in serving His Highness, and the queen blames me, the four of us sisters will be finished. Your Highness, please
Now, don’t let us go.”
"Okay, okay, if you don't want to go, I won't go. If I have the opportunity tomorrow, I can help His Highness build a study room, a separate library. I like reading, so this is all right. I'd like to ask you to find more literary classics, especially classics.
You should not be too bored during the rest of your writing."
"Oh, I understand, Your Highness, do you want a very tall library? Like the one in the palace?"
"I just take a look at it on weekdays. If you want to do something so high, it will be more normal. However, you have reminded me. How about my brothers, let's do it according to that standard."
"Yeah, I'll remember it, slave."
Feng Yu enjoyed himself in the bathtub for a while, and by the time he got dressed and walked out, a long time had passed.
"Okay, that's it. I'm going back to my room first. Let's wait until dinner time. Let's ask the kitchen to cook more. It'll be a little later today. Then I'll ask the servants and the guards to have a drink together. Let's treat it like this.
Celebrating my official arrival in the capital."
"yes."
In the bedroom, Feng Yu closed the door and his face changed instantly, becoming very serious.
An old man was sitting at the table drinking tea, obviously he had been waiting for a long time.
"It's only been three days, but my palace has changed completely."
"Isn't this according to your request, Your Highness?"
"Oh? Really? I did say that I would arrange for my own people, but I didn't seem to say that no one would be left behind."
The old man's expression also changed calmly from the beginning. For some reason, something seemed not right when His Highness came back from the examination, especially his patience and expression.
"Your Highness seems to be injured."
"There is no need to change the topic. It has been said since ancient times that you should not be suspicious of people when you employ them. I think that I am not so good at you that I should not be suspicious of people when I employ you."
"I wonder where I have offended His Highness. Is it because of the big blood change in Prince Huai's palace? But there are not many real Xia family members. Most of them came after being recruited and trained for more than a month. Isn't this also what your Highness meant?
?”
"Okay, I won't beat around the bush, after all, you have no murderous intention towards me, and I really can't see you and him clearly."
"Excuse me, Your Highness. I will tell you everything I know."
"This time I entered the mountain for the assessment, I met a person, Jue Ming."
Xia Xiahe's eyes flashed, "Qin Mo Jue Ming."
"Exactly."
"Why would the martial arts academy send outsiders to participate in the martial arts assessment? Besides, there shouldn't be such a formidable opponent. Could it be that your highness's injury was caused by him?"
"Half and half, what I want to say is that this person was sent by the old prince to test me, because my kicking skills are very similar to the enemy he has been angry with for decades. I want to know why?"
"King Bingjian, logically speaking, no. My Xia family has always been in a corner since our ancestors. We have never interacted with the royal family or even the court. At least to my knowledge, we have never known each other as King Bingjian. Otherwise, with the title of King Bingjian,
There is no way I don’t know this.”
"Humph, the prototype can be recognized by the combination of the kicks. This is obviously someone who has been familiar with it for many years. You told me it's impossible! Can you find a better reason?"
"My Xia family has never participated in martial arts battles. Few outsiders know this. However, there are many people who have been pursuing the most powerful martial arts for many years. After all, my Xia family's martial arts is unique in the world. It would not be a surprise if King Bingjian really gets involved. Regarding this matter, Your Highness, you should ask him instead of me."
"Humph, I asked him this? After asking him, I should have no choice but to come back sideways!"
"how so?"
"You don't know that the old prince hates the Xia family deeply. Just because my kicking skills are similar, he has a hint of murderous intention towards me. He also asked Jue Ming to test my martial arts. What's more, he said you The Xia family are traitors!"
Xia Xiahe slammed the table and stood up. The table was torn into pieces, "This is impossible! My Xia family is definitely not such a person. Even if some disciples do not consider themselves to be from the Tang Dynasty, they will never do such a thing!"
Feng Yu heard what he said and laughed, but his face became more gloomy, "Hahaha, don't you identify yourself as a Tang Dynasty person and a descendant of the murderous emperor? Do you identify yourself as an orphan of the Xia Kingdom?"
Obviously, this speaks to Xia Tianhe's heart, "Oh, indeed, some of the children do claim to be the orphans of the Xia Kingdom, but I promise that no one will ever turn against the Tang Kingdom. This is a family rule set by the head of the family and has been passed down. Generations!”
Seeing the old man's gray beard but still distressed to defend his family, Feng Yu was also shaken. Is there really another reason?
"Senior, you need to know who King Bingjian is. He has a good relationship with my master Feng Ao. The information he found out may not be false!"
Xia Tianhe also thought of this. What the imperial court and Tianji Tower jointly investigated would definitely not be wrong. There is no doubt about it. Otherwise, how could Tianji Tower's reputation be spread so well for so long.
"No wonder, one is the current King of Side by Side, a powerful man in the army, and the other is a Jianghu Swordsman, the former owner of Tianji Tower, and the master of His Highness. No wonder you are so angry today. I don't know the reason, but I believe it. The innocence of the Xia family. The last sentence, Your Highness, you are the most likely person to be the young master of my Xia family, and this Xia family is also your Xia family!"
"Senior said this very early. You can't accuse me of treason just because I don't know my background!"
"Okay, now that His Highness has made a decision, I, the Xia family, will say goodbye. Your Highness can also inform King Bingjian about the remnants of my Xia family, whatever."
Feng Yu only felt that the person in front of him had become much older for a moment. Somehow in his heart, he wanted to go up and hug him and tell him that he was wrong.
"etc."
"His Royal Highness, Prince Huai, do you have any other instructions? Oh, by the way, I will not inform anyone of your plans, including the princes."
"It's too early. This is just a suspicion, not a conclusion. I never like to punish others under unwarranted names."
