Four hundred and seventieth chapters acquaintances
Chen Ying was still dragged by her second brother, Chen Wu, to the house owner's mother's place to say hello and have a 'light meal' by the way.
He didn't feel embarrassed at all, he was talking and laughing calmly.
After all, the palace has been divided, and if the mistress of the palace wants to control it, it will not be so easy.
As for smear tactics, in a place like Beidi where Confucianism is not popular, the effect is very limited.
Outsiders will only judge Chen Ying's character based on what he has done, not based on rumors.
They were all driven to a remote place like Feihu Path. If the mistress of the palace made another move, even outsiders would not be able to see her.
Obviously, even if she is unhappy, the mistress of the princess will not go too far.
There was no drama in the 'casual meal', but they were all eaten in an ordinary way. When the maid served dessert, the mistress of the palace asked casually: "Third brother, are you looking for your father?
What's the matter?"
"It's not a big deal!"
Chen Ying replied with a smile: "Haier has a guy who is not weak in cultivation. He wants to earn money to cultivate internal skills. Boy thinks that talents are rare, so he asks his father for an internal skill!"
"Did the father-in-law give it to him?"
"Give it!"
Chen Ying smiled very comfortably and said leisurely: "My father also had some impressions of my boy's subordinate, and he also thought he was a rare talent, so he followed the trend and gave him a good internal skill and mental method!"
"Third brother, are you talking about Ling Feng?"
Chen Wu, who had been sitting next to him as an audience, suddenly interrupted and said in surprise: "Didn't he practice Neijiaquan with you?"
"This guy has good talent, and he also has some opportunities!"
Picking up the familiar cup of tea, Chen Ying replied with a smile: "Not long ago, this guy's internal martial arts cultivation has reached the peak of Gangjin, and he feels that there is no way forward!"
After saying this, he paused for a moment, and after Chen Wu digested this astonishing information, Shi Shiran said: "If he wants to climb a higher mountain in the martial arts, he can only turn to inner strength and mental methods!"
"Then what level of internal strength and mental skills are you asking for from your father?"
Chen Wu's face was a little ugly, but he still managed to maintain his superficial demeanor, but his voice was trembling, which showed that he was not calm.
"The top internal strength and mental method!"
Chen Ying looked relaxed and softly uttered a few words, but the flower hall where she was eating and resting fell into silence.
The top internal strength method!
Not to mention Chen Wu, who had already guessed, even the mistress of the palace, who had always looked calm, couldn't help but change her color.
That is the core resource of Zhenbei Government!
If it were left outside, it would definitely cause a bloody storm for its precious existence.
"Third brother, which one of the top internal skills in the house is the one your father gave you?"
Chen Wu's mind was buzzing and he subconsciously asked.
In fact, what worried him the most was Chen Ying's conversion to practicing inner strength and mental methods.
"Father said that this top-notch inner strength and mental technique was accidentally captured during his conquest of the North, and it was not included in the family secrets!"
Chen Ying naturally understood what his second brother Chen Wu was thinking, and said straightforwardly: "Second brother, don't worry, this is a more domineering sword technique, which is very different from the secret mental methods and martial arts taught in the mansion!"
It was okay that he didn't explain, but this explanation made the face of the mistress of the princess become a little ugly.
I never expected that Zhenbei Gong Chen Longcheng would have such a good thing in his hands, and this time he handed it over directly to Chen Ying.
Doesn't he know that such behavior will cause internal strife in the government?
Chen Wu did not have the deep thoughts of the mistress of the palace. Hearing this, he breathed a sigh of relief and nodded: "That's okay, but I don't know if the third brother has the intention to practice?"
"Not yet!"
Chen Ying said calmly: "I still have a lot of homework to do in the practice of internal martial arts, and I have no intention of switching to internal martial arts training for the time being!"
For some reason, Chen Wu should have been happy after hearing this reply, but he felt a little empty. He didn't know what was going on?
Maybe, there is a comparison mentality...
If he practiced the same internal skills and mental methods, his confidence would definitely be stronger than that of Lao San.
Chen Ying did not stay in the main courtyard where her mistress was, and took the initiative to leave after having tea, without any serious accident.
However, when he returned to the guest house, the attendant beside his father Chen Longcheng came over again and informed him that they would have dinner together in the evening.
Chen Ying nodded in agreement, but there was a little more thought in her heart...
I'm afraid not, but Chen Longcheng, the cheap father, encountered some trouble?
Don't blame him for overthinking, Chen Longcheng usually has a serious and stiff attitude in front of his sons.
We usually don't talk about eating together, just chatting together.
Out of character, Leng Buding suddenly asked Chen Ying to stay for dinner. He did not think that his father, Chen Longcheng, was being overloaded with paternal love.
There is too little information and it’s hard to figure it out.
Chen Ying didn't hesitate, it was just a matter of the soldiers coming to block it and the water coming and the soil covering it up.
If something really bothers him, he can just pat his butt and leave. Anyway, the Flying Fox Trail has been sealed, so it's not good to hang around outside all the time.
As for such behavior being unfilial, forget it, who the hell cares about this?
…
The weather is nice today, with clear blue sky and white clouds, and a gentle breeze that makes people feel lazy.
While it was still early, Chen Ying planned to go out for a walk and meet acquaintances.
The first stop was naturally the Zhao family, with whom we had a good relationship.
He had just arrived at the Zhao family's old residence in Beidicheng. The sharp-eyed concierge didn't wait for him to come forward and announce his door, and he hurried towards the house.
Within a moment, Zhao Ranruo's hearty laughter reached his ears.
"What a rare visitor!"
Seeing Chen Ying standing at the door, he laughed loudly and came up to her, grabbed Chen Ying's hand and said affectionately: "When will you return to Beidi? Why didn't you inform me in advance? I can prepare in advance!"
"Come on!"
Chen Ying followed him in with a smile, pulled her hand back and said with a smile: "I am just a small lord of Feihu Path, but I dare not trouble the head of the Zhao family!"
Zhao Ranruo smiled bitterly and said angrily: "Head of the Zhao family, if you value your status so much, you won't end up in a remote place like Feihu Trail!"
The two were sarcastic to each other, looked at each other and couldn't help laughing...
The unfamiliar feeling of not seeing each other for three years disappeared in the laughter.
It can be said that the two of them have been friends for a long time. When Chen Ying and the fourth child, Chen Xiong, were studying at Beidi Academy outside the city, Zhao Ranruo, at the request of Aunt Zhao, quietly taught Chen Xiong, his nephew, martial arts in the academy.
When we first came into contact with him, Zhao Ranruo was still very expert, and he even gave Chen Ying some pointers on some cultivation issues...
It's a pity that Chen Ying's internal martial arts skills improved too quickly, and it didn't take long to get rid of this guy. I don't think the relationship became more harmonious.
Later, Chen Ying ran the Valley Manor outside Beidi City. Zhao Ranruo brought a group of children from the Zhao family to provide full support, and also set up a stronghold in the Valley Manor.
Then, it is a win-win and mutually beneficial model...
In short, the relationship between Zhao Ranruo and Chen Ying is quite good, and they can be regarded as a relatively strong alliance of interests.
It's a pity that Chen Ying's various performances violated the bottom line of his cheap father Chen Longcheng, and he was directly sent to the Feihu Trail fiefdom.
Valley Manor, which was once prosperous, gradually became deserted after Chen Ying left...
Of course, the interest alliance between Chen Ying and Zhao Ranruo did not end because of this. It still continued, but the two never met again.
It is obvious that Zhao Ranruo is not very clear about Chen Ying's situation.
However, Chen Ying knew Zhao Ranruo's situation very well.
This guy is the first innate warrior in the Zhao family!
The experience at Valley Manor made Zhao Ranruo's strength improve rapidly, and he finally caught up with the trend of innate masters that suddenly broke out in the past few years.
Coupled with the strong support of a group of descendants from the side branch who have greatly improved in strength, he successfully took over the position of the head of the Zhao family in the past few years, which is considered to be a great success.
However, it is obvious that the level of "Thunder Heart Technique", which is the direct descendant of the Zhao family, is still a bit too low. Zhao Ranruo's current cultivation level is still in the early stage of innateness and is a bit behind the times.
Arriving at the main hall of the Zhao family, after the guests and hosts were seated, Chen Ying briefly stated the main purpose of coming to Beidicheng.
"Sword Kuang Lingfeng is really powerful!"
There was a momentary look of disappointment on Zhao Ranruo's face. Although he quickly returned to normal, he did not escape Chen Ying's eyes.
Chen Ying smiled softly and didn't know what to say.
When Ling Feng was born, although his martial arts was already superior to that of Zhao Ranruo, the gap in strength between the two was not large, or it could be said that they could still catch up.
But now the situation is completely different...
At this time, Ling Feng had reached the peak of his internal martial arts strength, which was equivalent to being at the peak of his innate strength. This was so embarrassing for Zhao Ran, who was still in the early stage of his innate strength. The gap was too big.
"With Sword Kuang Lingfeng's talent, I'm afraid his strength will increase even more rapidly after he changes to the inner strength and mental skills!"
Zhao Ranruo, on the other hand, looked calm and took the initiative to smile: "Although I am envious and jealous, I don't even have the courage to say it!"
"Haha, the Zhao family's "Thunder Heart Technique" also has potential to be tapped!"
Seeing him like this, Chen Ying naturally let go and said with a smile: "Think about it slowly, or change your mind and study a corresponding internal boxing technique. There may be unexpected benefits!"
This is what he said sincerely. He has also read "The Thunder Heart Method". Although it is only a high-level internal skill method, some of the cultivation theories in it have great merits.
With Chen Ying's advanced state at this time, he can find many directions for progress with just a little thought. If he thinks carefully, it is not difficult to upgrade the "Thunder Mental Technique" to a peak advanced internal skill that can be cultivated to the innate peak.
But obviously, Zhao Ranruo didn't listen, thinking that Chen Ying was just comforting him, and silently cupped his hands to express his gratitude.
have to!
Seeing this, Chen Ying was too lazy to say anything more and directly changed the subject and asked: "Where is the fourth brother? Why haven't you seen this kid come out for so long? Is it possible that we are related to each other?"
"How can it be?"
At this time, a loud voice came from the door: "Third brother, aren't I coming right now?"
