Four hundred and seventieth nine chapters anger (two)
"What's your expression?" Mr. Lian glanced at Sheng Hong coolly: "Is it possible that you have some dissatisfaction in your heart?"
Sheng Hong immediately reacted and responded seriously: "It is a dream for a disciple to be taught by the master alone!"
That’s pretty much it!
Mr. Lian's expression softened slightly and he said calmly: "Actually, I have had this idea for a long time. It would be better to teach the secrets of the Lian family's swordsmanship and the Lian family's art of war separately."
Xie Mingxi and Yin Xiaoxiao did not eavesdrop, but it was always inconvenient to have two more people on the side.
Furthermore, with Xie Mingxi by his side, Sheng Hong was inevitably a little distracted. When practicing martial arts, he often reserved some points and showed mercy.
The Lian family's swordsmanship evolved from the swordsmanship in the army. There are no unnecessary bells and whistles. What is emphasized is that the sword is deadly with a single blow. Without the sharpness and ruthlessness of the sword, the swordsmanship has only its form and easily loses its essence.
.
It is best to teach separately like this now.
"This will be a big thank you to Master!" Sheng Hong gathered his thoughts and solemnly bowed his hands.
Mr. Lian didn't say a word. He moved his right hand slightly and already had the long knife in his hand.
The sword flashed and reached Sheng Hong's eyes.
Sheng Hong was on guard for a long time. He turned back and dodged as fast as an arrow, and stabbed out from under his side with the long knife silently.
Mr. Lian turned his sword to block, and the two swords struck each other, making a crunching sound.
…
An hour later.
Mr. Lian's cheeks were slightly red, his eyes were as bright as a knife's edge, and his right hand holding the long knife was still as steady as a rock.
Sheng Hong, on the other hand, had lost his usual ease and ease, his face was solemn, and his forehead was covered with beads of sweat. His right arm was sore due to the continuous exertion, but fortunately his right hand holding the knife was still stable.
Mr. Lian glanced at Sheng Hong and raised the corners of his mouth with a half-smile: "I finally saw your real skills today!"
In the past, Sheng Hong and Xie Mingxi fought each other, showed no trace of mercy, and were "evenly matched" with Xie Mingxi. Even the honest man couldn't figure out the depth of Sheng Hong's skills.
Today, there are only two masters and apprentices, both of whom are using their full strength. It is impossible for Sheng Hong to keep it.
Sheng Hong slightly smiled helplessly: "I just found out today that Master usually has many reservations."
He had always secretly thought that he was better than his old master, but today he realized that he had thought too much...
Mr. Lian obviously saw through the seeming regret in Sheng Hong's words, and smiled teasingly: "I have been practicing martial arts since I could walk. My grandfather personally taught me how to practice swordsmanship, and all my uncles and brothers in the family are practicing martial arts."
A person who holds a sword in his hand and practices it for no less than six hours every day."
"You have been practicing martial arts with me for four years. No matter how talented you are, it is impossible to surpass me. From today on, your martial arts training time will be extended by one hour."
"Since you are practicing martial arts with me, you must be focused on it. If you are distracted and think too much, I will show no mercy to you with the sword in my hand!"
After finishing speaking, he swung his long knife, and the wind of the knife blew across Sheng Hong's cheek.
Sheng Hong had no time to think too much, so he quickly concentrated and blocked with his sword.
…
"Miss, His Highness the Seventh Prince hasn't left yet and has been in the martial arts training room." Congyu reported quietly.
Xie Mingxi lowered her head to read and hummed casually without even raising her head.
After a while, Fuyu came again and asked quietly: "Miss, it's so late, and His Highness has been practicing martial arts with an hungry stomach. Do you want your servant to send you some food?"
Xie Mingxi raised her eyes and glanced at Fuyu with a half-smile: "Are you waiting for me to say that you don't need to go and I'll go by myself?"
Fuyu: "..."
Fuyu frowned, not daring to say anything more, and retreated silently.
Cong Yu, who was standing outside the door, asked softly: "How is it?"
Fuyu showed a bitter face: "I said something too much, but the lady choked on her breath and almost stopped breathing."
Congyu Fuyu looked at each other and sighed together.
After a while, Xianghui came.
Fuyu and Xianghui were quite familiar with each other and immediately greeted him with a smile: "Sister Xianghui, it's so late, why haven't you returned to the palace with His Highness?"
Xianghui was also a little helpless and whispered: "Master Lian said that from today on, His Highness will have to practice for an extra hour every day. As a result, it will be even later to return to the palace."
"It doesn't matter if my slave is hungry. I can't let Your Highness have an empty stomach all the time. I just want to beg the third lady to ask the cook to prepare some food."
It would be even better if Xie Mingxi was willing to deliver the meal in person.
Fuyu sighed with a bitter face: "Sister Xianghui, to tell you the truth, I went to talk too much before, but the lady didn't pay attention at all. I'm afraid it will be the same if you go."
Xianghui: "..."
Xianghui and Fuyu looked at each other for a moment and were silent together.
Then, Xianghui also sighed: "That's it! Miss has not calmed down yet, let's talk about it in a few days!"
Fuyu felt sad: "This is the only way."
The master is angry, so they should stop talking.
…
In the blink of an eye, half a month passed.
In the past half month, the Criminal Department has been conducting a rigorous investigation and interrogation of the Huainan Prince's Mansion murder case, and finally the results have been obtained.
The rumors about Liu'er are pure nonsense. Liu'er's family was instigated by others and deliberately framed her. They were later secretly silenced. The people who poisoned her were two guards from the Huainan Palace.
However, after the two guards committed the murder, they also committed suicide together by taking poison. Their true identities could not be found out.
The case was closed, and the Huainan Palace was completely cleared of any connection.
King Huainan was seriously ill and needed to rest for a long time. The position of Zongzheng in the Zongren Mansion naturally fell to King Hejian.
With the imperial edict, the King of Hejian suddenly became a popular new member of the clan. The Prince of Hejian's palace also changed from its previous desolate appearance and became lively.
Even the King of Huainan ordered his eldest son, Shengxuan, to go to the Prince's Mansion in Hejian to congratulate him and give him a generous gift.
The King of Hejian was proud of the spring breeze and felt comfortable, but he did not dare to get carried away. After receiving the gift, he went to the Huainan Prince's Mansion in person.
King Huainan, who was lying on the hospital bed, had a dark complexion and looked old and decayed due to a long illness. He did not have the strength to stay on the bed, so he was helped by the people around him to sit up and said with an apologetic smile: "My old bones can't bear the torment.
Don’t be surprised if you can’t stay here!”
The King of Hejian smiled hurriedly and said: "Brother Wang is so polite, I am ashamed of myself. I am young and ignorant, and I don't understand many things. In the future, I will have to ask Brother Wang for more advice on matters in the clan's house."
Then, he said seriously: "I am not as talented as Brother Wang and I am not as good as Brother Wang. The position of Zongzheng belongs to those who are capable. When Brother Wang recovers from his illness, I will file a memorial and return the position of Zongzheng to Brother Wang."
King Huainan smiled even more gently: "We brothers are all working for the emperor. The emperor values you highly and lets you take charge of the clan mansion. You must work hard to live up to the emperor's love."
"You must never mention anything like coming back. Otherwise, you will trap me in a place of disloyalty and injustice!"
The two of you came and went and made mistakes, and they were in harmony.
After King Hejian left, King Huainan could no longer hold back the smile on his face, and a gloomy and cold look flashed in his eyes. (To be continued)
