The next morning, after Hong Chen went up the mountain to cut firewood and returned to the kitchen, he planned to see if Su Liangjing was feeling better. When he was walking through the corridor, he met Ji Cha and asked, "Have you seen Brother Su?"
How is he doing?"
Ji Cha said angrily: "The man named Su is in good health, but he is restless. I asked him if something had happened, and he said it was fine. Huh, even I don't believe it. Let him do whatever he wants."
Hong Chen said: "Then what is Brother Su worried about?"
Ji Cha rolled his eyes: "It's true that this young prince and the people around him are all very reactionary. His grandmother's 'change of dynasty' and 'change of generations', and she always thinks about 'Gou', too.
It's too ostentatious. The imperial court treats them as a thorn in their side and controls them closely, which is not unfair. The person named Su probably feels uneasy after watching these actions."
Hong Chen nodded: "This should be a reason. But yesterday, Brother Su suddenly became emotional when he heard Sister Qin say that she was the father-in-law. I think he guessed the identity of Sister Qin's father-in-law."
Ji Chadao: "Oh? Who is it?"
"I'm not sure, but Brother Su is obviously thinking about that person." Hong Chen said, "Didn't I tell you? I came with Hu Yinyin that day, and there was a cousin named Chen who was her purple guard.
Uncle Ye, that person is very tall, fair-skinned, has an accent similar to Sister-in-law Qin’s, and is good at martial arts, so people can’t help but think that way.”
Ji Cha was a little surprised: "That's such a coincidence."
Hong Chen said: "I also think it's a coincidence that Mrs. Qin's husband happens to be Hu Yinyin's cousin. I don't know if the world is too small and people meet in various ways, or if the world is too big and there are all kinds of coincidences." Then he added.
Said: "By the way, where are you going now?"
Ji Cha replied: "I originally wanted to compete with the young prince today to see if I could learn martial arts again. But I went to the martial arts field and the racecourse, but there was no sign of him. I came here with the surname Su, and then I heard that
Doctor Fu, the masterful quack doctor, said that he would be taught how to read by Old Man Liu in the study room today."
Hong Chen said: "The young prince is really busy. He has to learn martial arts, practice horse riding and archery, and study. Usually he seems to have no free time. He is in a hurry to eat, and he can't wait to eat the whole food on the table in one bite.
Eat them all.”
"It just so happens that you can come with me to see what this young prince is studying."
Ji Cha picked up Hong Chen and left.
After a while, they arrived at the door of the study room. Ji Cha and Hong Chen stood by the door and heard the young prince's voice coming from inside: "The orchestra is so dumb that there are more words than the people in the city. It makes the people in the world dare not speak and dare to be angry."
; The heart of a single man is becoming increasingly arrogant and arrogant. The soldiers of the garrison scream, and the letter is lifted; the people of Chu use a torch, and the earth is pitifully scorched.
"Woohoo! If you destroy the nine kingdoms, the nine kingdoms are not new. If the new clan is new, it is not the world. Sigh! If you make the nine kingdoms love their own people, it will be enough to reject the new. If you make the new love the people of the nine kingdoms again, then it will be
If you can be your king for eternity, who will get it and your family will be destroyed?
"New people have no time to mourn for themselves, so that future generations will mourn. Later generations will mourn without taking note of it, which will also cause future generations to mourn for future generations again."
Then came the voice of Mr. Liu again: "Yes, you have memorized this poem by heart. Do you still remember the previous "Guo Xin Lun" and "Nine Kingdoms"?"
The young prince said: "Remember."
Liu Laodao: "What do you understand?"
The young prince said: "These three articles, starting from different angles, describe and demonstrate the mistakes made by the Nine Kingdoms from the Ten Kingdoms era to the Great New Dynasty and the reasons for the collapse of the Great New Dynasty. But the general idea is the same: a king should love and protect the people,
We should treat the virtuous with courtesy, we should trust the good generals, and we should protect the country. If we squeeze the people and block the way of speech, we will not be able to escape the fate of defeat."
Liu Laodao: "That's right. The prosperity of a dynasty must depend on the support of the people, and the downfall of a dynasty must depend on the betrayal of the people's hearts. Just like today's Dayu, not only did they build construction projects and overhaul palaces and buildings, but they also forcibly captured the people and refined the elixir of heaven.
, looking for countless crowns
The emperor used excessive taxes and expropriations; he was more vocal about protecting the people than he was about protecting rivers. He promoted the emperor's sacred culture and martial arts everywhere, and labeled all dissenters as traitors and heretics;
The tree is an empty shell."
The young prince said: "Even so, because the two major foreign enemies in Xiliang and South Vietnam are watching covetously, the people still prefer to rely on Dayu, which is powerful in force. They are afraid of domestic civil strife and foreign enemies taking the opportunity to invade, and they will become slaves. Life will be worse than now.
It’s worse, it’s better to just muddle along.”
Mr. Liu laughed "haha" several times: "Little prince, you know very clearly that the opportunity has not yet appeared. If we rebel against Yu now, we will not be popular among the people. Even if you practice martial arts to a high level and enter the palace to kill Emperor Yu,
I still can’t sit on the throne. But it’s up to people to make things happen, and opportunities must be created by people.”
The young prince asked: "Mr. Yi Zhi, what do you mean?"
Liu Laodao: "Isn't the young prince going to participate in the Immortal Conference held at the Immortal Villa in the north of the city? That is a good opportunity to build momentum. Baoyu now has strict control over martial arts people, even more than the old Daxin. Many masters are not allowed to be free, or they will be imprisoned by the court.
To be recruited and integrated into it, you either have to live in one place and not care about worldly affairs. Many sects help
While the faction colluded with the court officials to prey on the common people, they were also dissatisfied due to the uneven distribution of the spoils. As a descendant of Emperor Yan, if you become famous for your civilized and martial arts, you will surely win the support of some Jianghu people - compared to those who are tyrannical and greedy.
The monarchs are willing to accept humiliation and compromise, and they are more willing to support a talented person who is closer to them to come to power."
The young prince said: "What Mr. Yi Zhi said is absolutely true. When I attended the Fair of Immortals, I originally only wanted to see the grace of other families and benefit from my own martial arts, but I never thought of this. I will definitely think more about things in the future.
Think carefully from more angles.”
Mr. Liu added: "Not only these martial arts people, but also the peasants and bandits who were forced to the mountains, some of the warlords and generals who supported the army but had different intentions, and the Huangtian cultists who were largely wiped out twenty years ago but are still widely active today, are all ours.
An object that can be united in a united front. The last Emperor Yan had a reputation for kindness, but Emperor Yu violated the agreement not to increase taxes and entitlements when Emperor Yan abdicated. You have a nominal natural advantage in resisting Yu."
The two people in the study were discussing seriously, while the two people outside the study were eavesdropping and were astonished.
Although Ji Cha and Hong Chen had long guessed that King Yan's lineage was rebellious, they did not expect that there was a conspiracy to connect so many organizational forces. At this moment, they looked at each other and quietly evacuated outside.
But he heard another voice coming from the room: "Master Hong, Protector Ji, now that you are here, why are you leaving?" The person who said this was Mr. Liu.
Hong Chen and Ji Cha were even more surprised. They stood still when the door opened, and Mr. Liu and the young prince came out one after another. The young prince clasped his fists and bowed: "Little Wang Yanjie, I have met Master Hong, Ji Cha."
Protect the Dharma."
Ji Cha coughed: "Ahem. Young prince, what did you say? Where did the leader and protector come from?"
Mr. Liu said with a smile: "Since everything has been exposed, why do you two keep pretending? I heard it when you walked to the courtyard just now. The conversation I had with the young prince was just for you."
Ji Cha stamped his foot: "His grandma, this guy named Su, really revealed the secret!"
"It has nothing to do with Master Su." Yan Jie said, "I have just confirmed your identities."
Ji Cha asked suspiciously: "Just now?"
Yan Jie nodded: "It was just now. It was just a guess before, but your reaction verified the inferences made by Mr. Yizhi and I."
Ji Cha was angry that he had fallen into the trap, stamping his feet and shaking his fists. Hong Chen asked, "How did you guess it? There should be no flaws in our disguises."
Liu Laodao: "In terms of disguise alone, there is no flaw. But this Protector Ji fought against the young prince for several days, and his true colors were completely exposed. Although Protector Ji has been trying his best to conceal his martial arts skills, several times
During the day, the young prince imitated Protector Ji's martial arts to me many times. My old eyes recognized him again and again, much like the Huangtian Sect's Beiming Palace.
'One line of martial arts. Currently, the two most high-profile Huangtian cultivators in the world are the leader Hong Chen, who is nicknamed the 'Bamboo Flayer', whose swordsmanship is unparalleled in the world, and the Ji Cha Dharma Protector, nicknamed the 'Tea Picker', who is good at disguising and hiding.
The last time they appeared was in Tianwei City in the south of Tianzhou. Judging from the time, they may have arrived in Tianjing recently. All kinds of inferences have been put together to make this suspicion."
Hong Chen looked at Ji Cha, and before he could say anything, Ji Cha rushed over and said, "What are you looking at? Do you want to blame me? Isn't this why I'm helping you? It's true that a dog bites Lu Dongbin and doesn't know a good heart." Hong Chen said
I was stunned, thinking that I haven’t said a word yet, and I didn’t mean to blame you at all, so you just made up a lot of things on your own.
Mr. Liu laughed a few times: "Hahaha, Protector Ji has a really hot temper. On the contrary, he made me think that you are the leader and Master Hong is the protector."
Yan Jie said: "Protector Ji is very skilled. In the past few fights, although Protector Ji used tricks to win, if he doesn't hide his martial arts skills and uses his true skills to go all out, I think I am still no match for him."
"My young prince, you are so powerful." Ji Cha said in a rather strange tone, "I thought I was cheating on your martial arts skills, but I didn't expect that you secretly stole all my martial arts skills."
Yan Jie shook his head: "How can that be stealing from a master? It's just a mere form, without any inner meaning. The same moves, you use them as profound martial arts, but I use them as just airs."
Ji Cha then laughed: "Of course. The Huangtian Sect's martial arts are profound and unpredictable. You must practice the entire set of secret techniques in order for each martial arts to exert its great power. Even if others learn these external moves, they will be useless.
It’s very obstructive.”
"Speaking of which, I have the rudeness to ask." Mr. Liu said, "What is the purpose of coming to the young prince? I'm afraid it's more than just learning a few martial arts and sneaking into the immortal assembly by using your identity."
The young prince said: "I think it was just fate. If Brother Wang and Brother Li had not gone to Master Su to ask for weapons, he would not have met Master Hong and Protector Ji."
Ji Chadao: "That's not necessarily the case. Coincidence is on the one hand, but the reason why we decided to stay in the end was because our leader Hong fell in love with the magic sword passed down by your family, young prince."
