"That's right, Lord Father, I think that Hong Yi is not completely powerless. Instead, he knows martial arts. Moreover, his entire body is full of muscles and every inch of his body is firm. His foundation is quite solid. This kind of martial arts is not something that can be trained by shooting arrows or drawing a bow every day. It is definitely a kind of profound fist technique. I wonder who exactly taught him this?"
Hong Xi suddenly said. He had only exchanged a glance with Hong Yi earlier, but he was able to see through most of Hong Yi's foundation. This showed his extraordinary eyesight.
"You can see through it? Of course I can. I know that your mother sent someone to the barracks to look for you. Is it about Hong Yi? "Hong Xuanji looked at Hong Xi and said.
"Yes, I don't dare to hide it from Father. Mother did send Nanny Zeng to the barracks to look for me. But that night, Nanny Zeng died of a stroke. Father knows that Nanny Zeng was an old servant who followed Mother from the mansion. Her martial arts are also excellent, so how could she die of a stroke? This matter, your child wants to thoroughly investigate it. "Hong Xi bowed.
"Investigate what?" Hong Xuanji touched the white jade qilin paperweight on the table and said slowly, "Don't worry about the matters of the family. I have my own plans. Also, you are a general of the imperial court, so you must have the demeanor of a general of the imperial court. Don't get into a fight over the trivial matters of the family. Do your job well and serve the imperial court. That's the most important thing. Don't be distracted. "
"But …" Hong Xi tried to explain.
"Hmm? But what? Are you going to look for Hong Yi? Do you want to find out who is behind him? As a general of the imperial court, how can you bully your brother? If the reputation of being disloyal spreads out, it will be a stain on your road to promotion! You should understand this in your heart! "Hong Xuanji raised his voice.
"Father is right." Hong Xi hurriedly said.
Bullying one's brother was considered immoral in terms of etiquette. It was the same as being unfilial and would be criticized by others. In the future, if Hong Xi were to be promoted, there would be people who would accuse him of being immoral.
When Hong Xuanji said this, Hong Xi also understood in his heart that his father had thought far ahead.
"Alright, go back to camp. Train the soldiers well. Perhaps in the near future, there will be a tough battle. At that time, it will be a good opportunity for you to contribute to the court and be promoted. It will also be a good opportunity to shut the mouths of those who oppose you. In the future, when your mother sends someone to look for you, just answer that your father is the head of the family and everything is decided by him. Got it? "
Hong Xuanji added.
"I understand."
Hong Xi pressed on the saber at his waist and retreated.
"Old Wu, go tell Hong Yi that he has to obey Her Highness Consort Yuan's decree and study and practice martial arts. Don't disappoint Her Highness's reward. In addition, he can practice martial arts with Xue Jiao. Also, tell Madam Zhao that Hong Yi's monthly salary will be increased to 15 taels of silver. "
After Hong Xi left, Hong Xuanji ordered someone outside.
An old voice replied and left. It was Wu Housekeeper.
The whole study immediately quieted down and was silent.
Hong Xuanji sat still, then turned around and looked at the snow plum blossom hanging on the wall. He frowned and said to himself, "Bingyun, you are too silly. In every dynasty, when there is a change, there is always a bloodbath. Mountains of bones? The winner is the king, the loser is the bandit. What I need to do is to do my best to stabilize the situation in the court. Now that the Da Qian Dynasty has reached its peak, your brother's corpse has been reincarnated, and he wants to bring up the past again. If he brings up the past again, it will definitely cause chaos in the court. Back then, all the meritorious ministers are in danger. This will not be good for the country and the stability of the world. If your brother insists on doing things his own way, then don't blame me. "
After talking to himself for a long time, he suddenly stood up, took down the painting, and threw it into the large porcelain pot under the desk.
At the same time, he took out a fire starter, lit it, and threw it in as well.
In less than a moment, the painting burned in the brazier. In an instant, it was completely burned, leaving only a pile of ash.
… …
"Hyah!"
Two horses, like flaming clouds, galloped side by side on the deserted road at the foot of the mountain.
The one riding was Hong Yi, and the other was Hong Xuejiao. The two seemed to be competing in horsemanship.
Hong Yi's horse was in the lead, and he was three or four steps ahead of Hong Xuejiao. No matter how hard Hong Xuejiao urged the horse under her to gallop, she could not catch up.
Although they were both Charcoal horses, Hong Yi's "Chasing Lightning" clearly had more stamina and speed.
"Hmph!"
Seeing that she could not catch up, Hong Xuejiao suddenly clamped her legs together. The Charcoal horse under her seemed to understand its master's intention. It exerted force on its hind hooves and arched forward. Hong Xuejiao used this huge force to leap high up from the horse like a large bird and fiercely pounced forward.
Hong Yi only felt darkness behind him, as if a black cloud was shrouding him. He turned his head abruptly and saw Hong Xuejiao leaping into the air behind him. She grabbed him with both hands and actually wanted to flip him off the horse.
"Not good!" Hong Yi also did not expect that Hong Xuejiao would be so daring as to leap up from her horse and push him down while they were galloping intending to push him down.
This horsemanship was like a large eagle pouncing on a rabbit. Hong Yi suddenly turned around and let go of the reins. His legs clamped tightly on the horse's abdomen, and he used the Little Big Dipper Grappling Palm to push towards Hong Xuejiao.
"Your reaction is too slow." Hong Xuejiao snickered. Using the momentum of the pounce, she twisted her arm and blocked Hong Yi's hands. Then, with a hug and a flip, the two rolled off the horse.
The moment he fell off the horse, Hong Yi immediately jumped up. Before he could regain his senses, he heard a whooshing sound in his ear. "Watch my fist!"
A fist rapidly expanded in the corner of his eyes. The wind howled, as if it was about to explode his head.
"Ox Demon Trampling Hooves! Top Corner! "
At this critical moment, Hong Yi entered the realm of Spirit and Body as One. His feet naturally trembled, and he channeled strength into his arms. His fists were on either side of his head, and he suddenly punched out, meeting the incoming fist.
Bang!
The two fists collided. Hong Yi only felt that his opponent's bones seemed to be made of iron. During the collision, his fists were in so much pain that they were about to split open.
"The Tiger Demon Bone Forging Fist is indeed powerful. My bones are like iron." Hong Yi secretly exclaimed in his heart. His body leaped out like a grasshopper, and he got into a fighting stance as he looked at Hong Xuejiao, who was sneaking an attack on him.
"Eh? What kind of martial art is this? You've been progressing very quickly these past few days. You've even learned my Minor Heavenly Spirit Grappling Technique. If this goes on, I won't be able to defeat you in less than a year. "Hong Xuejiao didn't attack again after throwing out a punch. She only took a step back and frowned as she asked Hong Yi.
"I was just thinking about it randomly. I used it in a moment of desperation." Hong Yi found an excuse and dodged the question.
These past few days, he had obtained Hong Xuanji's permission and could finally practice martial arts without any restrictions. Thus, he was like a bird that had been released from a cage. Every day, he would ride a horse, shoot arrows, and practice his fists and clubs. He felt that his martial arts had improved greatly.
Today, he was competing with Hong Xuejiao in horsemanship.
"The imperial examination is in three days. I've noticed that you've been shooting arrows, riding horses, and practicing your fists and clubs for the past few days. Haven't you prepared at all? "Hong Xuejiao changed the topic and asked again.
"Cramming before the examination is the work of an idiotic scholar." Hong Yi secretly rubbed his aching hand. "That's right, among the children of the aristocrats who practice martial arts in the entire Jade Capital, who has the best fist technique? Sister Xuejiao, what's your ranking? "
"Don't be fooled by the fact that the children of the aristocrats seem to be idling around. There are actually hidden dragons and crouching tigers among them. Of course, in terms of martial arts, it's Hong Xi. He has already deeply grasped the essence of his father's All Heaven Death Wheel Fist Technique. As for the rest, Duke Li Junior's Yin Yang Extreme Fists are also unfathomable. In addition, the Crown Prince of Marriage, the Crown Prince of Rong, the Crown Prince of Shen Wei, and the Princess of Yongchun are all very powerful as well. However, if you want to talk about the real power, I'm afraid there might be a Great Grandmaster among the princes. The Crown Prince is not easy to deal with. " Hong Xuejiao was much more knowledgeable than Hong Yi. These days, Hong Yi had been practicing martial arts with Hong Xuejiao and had learned many secrets about the aristocrats.
