Chapter 271 This King Doesn’t Mind Taking in Another Disciple
Jun Liluo found it somewhat amusing.
The singer brought by Si Lianhuan did not arouse his interest, but she aroused Yun Chu's interest.
[This woman's performance is really better than the ones in our palace. I want to hear her sing something else.]
[Stay here, and see what kind of trouble she can make right under our noses. ]
"Since the princess is so kind, I will keep her for a few days and listen to her sing a few songs to relieve my fatigue."
Hearing Jun Li Luo's reply, Si Lianhua smiled and stood up to toast Jun Li Luo.
After eating and drinking, everyone in Jinhua Hall left one after another.
As Si Lianhua was walking, she heard a voice as clear as the wind behind her, "Princess, please stay."
Si Lianhuan paused and turned to look at Song Yunchu behind her.
Song Yunchu waved an ink-painted folding fan and walked forward slowly. "Princess, you and the others have walked all the way from the palace gate. I'm sure you have seen a lot of sights. What do you think of the scenery in our palace?"
Upon hearing this, Si Lianhua responded calmly, "The scenery is very beautiful, just as magnificent as our Xiling Palace."
"Princess, there are probably many places you haven't seen yet." Song Yunchu said, "After the banquet just now, His Majesty said that if the princess is interested in touring the beautiful scenery in the palace, I will be a guide for the princess and the envoys."
Si Lianhuan looked at Song Yunchu with a smile on his face and thought: This man's smile always looks so hypocritical, I wonder what he is thinking.
Although she secretly complained in her heart, she had to remain polite on the surface, "Of course we are interested, so I'll trouble His Royal Highness Prince Ning to lead the way."
"No need to bother."
In the following time, Song Yunchu led everyone through many places in the palace and finally came to the outside of the martial arts training ground.
It was already past lunch time, and the young soldiers were full of energy and were training very diligently under the supervision of their generals.
Countless figures performed uniform movements, creating a spectacular scene.
Si Lianhuan was already accustomed to such scenes in Xiling Country, so she naturally didn't find it strange at the moment, but her attention was soon attracted by two figures not far away.
The two men were sparring with each other, and their moves were obviously much more agile than those of the others. The two men seemed to be evenly matched, and after many moves back and forth, the winner could not be determined.
This sparked a little interest in her as she loved practicing martial arts.
The young man in black seemed to be more powerful, while the young man in white opposite him seemed to be faster. Just as the young man in white was about to launch a sneak attack on the young man in black, the young man in black suddenly turned around and swept his feet quickly, as if to knock the young man in white out.
The young man in white was almost defeated, but suddenly he made a surprising move.
But he stepped on the ground and slid backwards like a gust of wind, leaving an afterimage.
Just like a free and unrestrained white crane, he immediately widened the distance between himself and his opponent, completely out of the opponent's attack range.
After sliding two meters away, he did a neat backflip and landed steadily.
Seeing Zhao Jingheng slip away again, Chu Yuni cursed loudly: "You kid, every time you are at a disadvantage, you use this trick! If you change your trick, you will definitely lose!"
Zhao Jingheng said: "What you said is not reasonable. Isn't the purpose of learning this Kung Fu to use it? The moves don't have to be new, as long as they work. I can use this move for the rest of my life."
Chu Yuni gritted her teeth.
Ever since His Royal Highness Prince Ning taught Zhao Jingheng the move of "leading the crane to ride the wind", the battle line between him and Zhao Jingheng has become longer.
In fact, it doesn't matter if he can't win, but Zhao Jingheng always treats him like a monkey and he can't hit him, which makes him lose his patience.
Although Prince Ning treated them equally and taught them both kung fu, logically speaking, he was a subordinate completely under Prince Ning's jurisdiction and Prince Ning should be closer to him.
He will definitely go back and ask His Highness how to defeat Zhao Jingheng completely!
Not far away, Si Lianhuan came back to his senses.
The moves used by the young man in white just now were truly amazing. If used in actual combat, they could save lives in an emergency.
It is no exaggeration to say that she had never seen such beautiful martial arts skills in a young general.
Those who can bring their speed to the extreme are usually more mature veterans, and the young player in white seems to be about the same age as her.
This made her want to have a discussion with him.
Song Yunchu, who was standing by, seemed to have guessed what she was thinking and asked her, "Princess, do you also like to watch people spar?"
"Of course." Si Lianhua responded, "It's this kind of strong fight, a competition where both are equally matched that's interesting. I not only like to watch, I also like to experience it myself."
"When I first met the princess, I felt that she was as brave as any man. I believe she is also very brave in the martial arts field. Princess, do you want to learn their kung fu? We can stop fighting after a certain point. They are sensible people and will definitely not hurt the princess. Of course, I also hope that the princess can show mercy and not beat them too badly."
"That's great." Si Lianhua said, "I want to spar with that young warrior in white."
She pondered it in her mind. The young man in black seemed to have strong arms. Although she was agile, her strength might not be comparable to his. If she got close to him, she would be in trouble.
Since she was at a disadvantage in terms of strength, she would not choose the stronger one. She was more interested in the moves of the young man in white.
When Song Yunchu saw that she had made a decision, Bai Zhu immediately ordered, "Go and stop those two people and clear the venue. The princess needs to have a fight with Zhao Jingheng."
Upon hearing this, Bai Zhu immediately went over to convey Song Yunchu's order.
When Zhao Jingheng heard that he was going to compete with the Princess of Xiling, he was stunned.
Chu Yuni came back to her senses from her surprise and patted Zhao Jingheng on the shoulder, "Don't panic, sparring should be done to a certain extent, just don't hurt her."
"You make it sound like I'm going to win."
"Why can't you win? Haven't you always been called a young general? When did you become so humble?"
"Don't forget, I was taught a lesson by His Royal Highness Prince Ning because I looked down on you. It's embarrassing to think about it now. In fact, when it comes to martial arts, you can't look down on anyone because of their appearance, no matter if they are younger or shorter than me, or if they are women, or if they are as stupid as you... In short, a person's strength has nothing to do with appearance."
Chu Yuni's expression changed, "You are the stupid one!"
While the two were talking, Song Yunchu brought Si Lianhuan over.
The two of them saluted quickly.
"Get up. Xiao Chu, let's step back and let the princess compete with Xiao Zhao."
The two came to the edge of the venue, and Chu Yuni asked Song Yunchu, "Your Highness, why did the princess suddenly want to compete with Brother Zhao?"
"Because the princess just watched the two of you fighting and was very interested in the moves Zhao Jingheng used."
"Is it the move you taught him to attract cranes and ride the wind?"
"good."
"Then does Princess know that Brother Zhao's move came from your teaching?"
"Of course she doesn't know." Song Yunchu laughed, "If she wants to learn, I don't mind taking another apprentice. Of course, it's not as easy for a foreigner to become my disciple as it is for Xiao Zhao."
As they were talking, Si Lianhuan and Zhao Jingheng had already started fighting.
Song Yunchu's eyes followed the two figures closely. She was already very familiar with Zhao Jingheng's moves. She was curious about how Si Lianhuan would respond.
The two exchanged dozens of moves, and neither of them was at a disadvantage.
"This Xiling princess is really agile." Chu Yuni looked at Si Lianhuan's sword moves and sighed, "It seems that Brother Zhao may not be able to get any advantage from her."
"Yes, don't be fooled by her slender figure. In fact, she has a talent for martial arts just like you. In addition, the king of Xiling loves her very much. Knowing that she is a good candidate for martial arts, he specially called in strong generals to teach her. That's how she developed such a brave character now."
Song Yunchu said slowly, "When you were sparring just now, she looked eager to try. You are a few years older than her, and she probably saw that you have strong arms, so to be on the safe side, she picked Zhao Jingheng, who is about the same age as her and is equally agile."
Chu Yuni's eyes lit up when she heard this, "Your Highness means that the princess thinks I am better than Brother Zhao?"
"That's not the case. She should just be more interested in the moves of Piao Miao Zhen Jue, or she may think that Zhao Jingheng's graceful figure is more pleasing to the eye than you."
The light in Chu Yuni's eyes disappeared immediately. "You are speaking for that boy again. It is obvious that I am the one you recruited personally..."
"Let's just talk about the facts. You two are both talented people in my eyes, so when I teach you martial arts, I teach you both and guide you based on your respective strengths. I always treat you equally, so don't accuse me of favoritism."
Chu Yuni's face brightened up when she heard that. "Yes, since you said that, I will never let you down in the future! I will practice martial arts diligently and work hard."
Song Yunchu raised his folding fan and tapped his head. "Hanging from the beam and piercing the thigh is used to describe studying hard, which has nothing to do with the daily life of a military officer like you."
"I said the wrong thing again." Chu Yuni touched her head, feeling a little embarrassed.
Song Yunchu was too lazy to pay attention to him and continued to watch the competition between Zhao Jingheng and Si Lianhua.
Just as she expected, when the fight became more intense, both men increased their speed. Zhao Jingheng used the light skills she taught him and began to switch from offense to defense, conserving his own strength while consuming Si Lianhuan's physical strength and patience.
The stalemate lasted for a while, and Si Lianhuan frowned.
The kung fu that the other party used at this moment was the most eye-catching move he had just used when sparring with his colleagues. He was as light and agile as a white crane, and he quickly widened the distance between him and her.
She could only get closer and closer, but as the attacker, her moves always failed, which was inevitably frustrating.
Zhao Jingheng observed her expression and saw that she seemed anxious, so he clenched the sword in his hand, ready to fight back at any time.
If the princess cannot be hurt, then just force her to fall or cut a small tuft of her hair.
While thinking, Si Lanhuan seemed to take a deep breath and swung a powerful blow at him with her sword. Zhao Jingheng had saved his strength and dodged by leaning sideways. The sword was about to scratch her hair, but she lay down and kicked his feet with her legs!
Zhao Jingheng was surprised that she could fight back in an instant.
And at the moment when he was distracted, his dodging speed slowed down a little. Although he was not knocked down by Si Lianhuan, when he stood firm, the sword in Si Lianhuan's hand cut through two layers of his sleeves.
If it was a little deeper, blood would be seen.
Zhao Jingheng came back to his senses, clasped his fists towards Si Lianhuan and said, "Just now I lost my composure, but it was the princess who stayed calm. This round is won by the princess."
He now understood that Si Lanhuan had been holding back her strength, and that Si Lianhuan's frown just now was not because she was really anxious, but just to confuse his vision and make him let down his guard.
In actual combat, this princess is more patient than the Chu brothers.
Fortunately, he did not underestimate the enemy from the beginning. Now that he was at a disadvantage, he accepted it calmly.
"It's just a small victory." Although Si Lianhua had the upper hand, she was not proud. "You just fought with someone for a while and consumed your physical strength, while I am in a state of full energy, so this fight actually doesn't count, and it won't be glorious even if I win."
"Princess, you are too modest. Fighting is not just about moves, tactics are also crucial. Princess can keep a steady mind and confuse the enemy, which has already won her way over many people."
"You are quite modest." Si Lianhua was much more polite in her words to someone whose strength was not inferior to hers. "In fact, if you were more patient, you might have won. I really couldn't catch up with the move you just used. What was it called?"
"I think what the princess is referring to is 'Drawing the Crane and Riding the Wind'? I just learned this move not long ago."
"Where did you learn it?" Si Lianhua asked, "Do you have any secrets?"
"Please forgive me for not being able to tell you about this martial art. If you are really curious, you can ask His Royal Highness Prince Ning."
When Si Lianhuan heard that she had to ask Song Yunchu, she immediately became unhappy.
It turns out that this young general in white and Song Yunchu are not only superiors and subordinates, but also brothers from the same sect.
The conversation between her and Song Yunchu was all false politeness, and it was obvious that the smiling tiger was not someone who was easy to talk to.
At least it is impossible for him to be easier to talk to than the young man in white in front of him.
"I heard your last name is Zhao, right? How should I address you?"
"I am a fifth-rank official, General Guide. People usually call me Little General Zhao."
"Young General Zhao." Si Lianhuan forced a smile. "Although His Royal Highness Prince Ning is your senior brother and your superior, martial arts exchanges are not related to court secrets. What can you not say? I don't want to ask you about court affairs."
"Princess, you misunderstood. Your Highness is not my senior brother, but my master."
Zhao Jingheng explained, "This matter is not a secret of the court, but this martial art has been lost. If others want to learn it, they can only ask King Ning."
Si Lianhua's eyes twitched, "You said he is your master?!"
"yes."
Zhao Jingheng nodded, "Your Highness is my mentor. What I just demonstrated in front of the princess was only a small part of this unique skill. Your Highness is the real master. You and I combined are not as good as him. If the princess asks him directly, she will definitely benefit a lot."
Si Lianhua: “…”
"Besides, His Highness is gentle as jade, elegant, and very appreciative of talents. Maybe after the princess asks, she can become my fellow disciple."
