"We pay our respects to the King of Qin and Princess Wannian!"

"Brother Wang greets Sister Wang and Brother-in-law!"

Over the years, Liu Xie has grown quite a bit taller. He must be 14 years old this year.

He was a fairly intelligent person, and having been orphaned and helpless since childhood, he had to rely on his keen observation skills to ensure his safety.

Liu Xie was 14 years old.

For Wang Yue and Shi A, their martial prowess as guards was sufficient.

"Long time no see, long time no see! Let's talk inside!"

Cai Yong's residence was quite large, after all, it was to accommodate the underage Liu Xie temporarily, so its specifications were naturally much better than those of ordinary officials' residences.

"Your Highness?"

"Yes, brother-in-law."

"Hmm, I heard from your sister that you want to travel around the world?"

Liu Xie swallowed hard, then nodded.

“Brother-in-law, I have studied many books with Teacher Cai, and I want to be like you, to be bold and unrestrained, and to see for myself what this world is really like.”

"But if I stay in Jinyang forever, I'll always be a child who never grows up. Brother-in-law, I..."

Zhao Hao raised his hand, interrupting Liu Xie.

“I’m very pleased that you have this idea. Actually, I also want you to see for yourselves what the people want and what kind of lives the other people are living.”

"But you're still too weak! If you can master swordsmanship before you turn 16, I'll definitely let you travel the world. Until then, you need to train your martial arts skills properly, understand?"

Liu Xie was not discouraged by this; instead, he nodded with satisfaction.

"Brother-in-law, it's a deal, no going back on your word!"

Zhao Hao smiled. His swordsmanship was passable, but his actual combat strength was only around 70.

For Wang Yue, it would have been easy for Liu Xie to reach that level in just two years.

"Rest assured, Your Majesty, Yue will impart all his knowledge to you, so that the King of Xihe may master swordsmanship as soon as possible!"

Zhao Hao nodded, "I have long heard of the extraordinary swordsmanship of the royal master and his esteemed disciple Shi A. Now that we have met, how about we have a friendly spar? That way, my brother-in-law can see how his brother-in-law has managed to make a living and conquer the world!"

Wang Yue and Shi A were taken aback. Shi A, who was wearing a mask, quickly waved his hand, "King Qin's martial arts are superb, I dare not..."

"Shut up!"

Wang Yue stopped Shi A and bowed.

"Since the King of Qin is willing to teach Shi Aji a few tricks, he must benefit greatly from it."

Why don't you, King Qin, first take a look at my unruly disciple's swordsmanship and see where it is lacking, and then give him some proper guidance?

"Afterwards, how about we spar again in swordsmanship?"

Zhao Hao nodded, "Let's arrange it this way! Thank you for your help, Ms. Cai!"

Cai Yong looked somewhat troubled, but Zhao Hao quickly promised, "Don't worry, we won't tear down your house!"

Cai Yong had witnessed firsthand how Zhao Hao's powerful swordsmanship in the Golden Palace could easily destroy even the strongest walls.

Therefore, with his whole family around, he was indeed unwilling to take such a risk.

"Then...King Qin, please remember to control your strength and don't accidentally hurt me."

"Hahaha, it turns out that you can joke around, Cai Dajia. I guarantee nothing will happen. Let's go. My brother's eyes are practically drooling. He must really want to see how good his brother-in-law's swordsmanship is!"

...

Cai Yan, courtesy name Zhaoji, was 21 years old.

Personality traits: 1. Talented woman 2. Helpful wife 3. Medical skills 4. Cultured

"Young Prince, do you think your brother-in-law can win?"

"Absolutely! My brother-in-law's martial arts are superb. Even if it were the King himself... uh, King, I mean I look down on you, but my brother-in-law would definitely be a step above him!"

Among them, Cai Zhenji was the closest in age to Liu Xie, so the two got along very well and ignored many worldly etiquette.

"Zhenji, you must not be rude to the young prince."

"Hehe, the way my sister looks at Prince Qin!"

"you!"

Helpless, Cai Yong bowed to Wang Yue in apology, and then ordered the others to be quiet.

"King Qin, Shi A is ready!"

"Good, come on!"

Shi A was taken aback. Zhao Hao had actually broken off a tree branch and used it as a sword to spar with him.

"King Qin, this, this..."

"If you're a man, don't hesitate! Are you still the top disciple under the Imperial Tutor? Bring it on!"

Helpless, Shi A looked at Wang Yue.

Wang Yue nodded, signaling him to hurry up and get started.

Seeing this, Shi Acai said helplessly.
