Outside the Imperial Study Room, Eunuch Zhao was waiting quietly. If there was any itch, he would scratch it gently. Yan Han, the commander of the Royal Forest Army, did not squint his eyes, staring straight ahead, motionless as a mountain, silent as a mountain, except for occasionally squinting. Song Linjie seemed very impatient with every move of the young boy. What did the two of them have to talk about? Then he glanced at the old eunuch. The old eunuch just nodded and smiled, and was as quiet as ever. He couldn't get any definite information from the old eunuch, so he had no choice but to disturb Commander Yan.
Song Linjie chuckled and was about to punch Commander Yan's silver armor. Commander Yan raised his sword and struck it down with a horizontal blow, saying coldly: "Boy, what are you doing?"
Song Linjie shook off his painful hand, his face glowed again, and he asked with a smile: "Hey, Commander Yan, how is your hearing? Tell me what's going on inside."
Commander Yan scolded with a cold snort: "Your Majesty, you dare to eavesdrop in the corner?"
Song Linjie scratched his head, feeling very irritated. Then he suddenly had an idea and said to Yan Han: "Commander Yan, if you can become the commander of the Royal Forest Army, you must be of the first rank. And you and I are both swordsmen, so we are free." It’s okay, how about I practice with you?”
Commander Yan suddenly became interested. He glanced at the old eunuch watching next to him. He wanted to test the depth of this academy disciple. It was said that he was a god in the army. Commander Yan took the sword and changed his hands. He chuckled and said: " Okay, but if you lose, don’t complain to your grandfather, I can’t afford to offend the King of Swords.”
Song Linjie responded: "Okay, if you lose, don't cry and complain to His Majesty."
The two of them moved away from the Imperial Study Room and found an open space. Their bodies retreated simultaneously, three feet apart.
Song Linjie knew that the other party was a first-class one, so he ignited the Mirage Secret Technique without hesitation. As for activating the fire pattern of the Forging Sky Sword, he was not very skilled, so he could only do it step by step, first injecting some true energy, and the fire pattern on the right side flickered on and off.
Commander Yan was surprised. Although he did not possess any secret skills, he also knew how difficult it was to master one. It was not possible to find a way to master it, so he did not dare to regard this seventeen-year-old boy as a showman. Look at it, draw the sword forward and lower the scabbard to defend.
With the experienced and experienced leader Yan, not to mention taking the lead, he also had to test out the depth first. He rushed forward and fought against Song Linjie. At first, he only used the charging and chaotic formations commonly used in border battles. The former was fierce and fierce, trying his best to force the opponent. Use all your strength, but if you are a little careless, you will be killed on the spot. The latter's moves are not based on common sense. They do not seek a winning result, but only want to disrupt their position. If you are greedy for success and rush forward, you will definitely be disturbed. When he realizes that he is in a bad situation and throws away his armor and runs away, that is the most fatal strike. It is very useful on the battlefield and never fails. However, the opponent is obviously not a fledgling recruit. For him, these two skills You can handle it with ease, let alone trying to find out the truth.
Song Linjie, on the other hand, laughed loudly and danced wildly to the sky. It seemed that there was no order, but in fact it was true. He just took every blow from Commander Yan with amazing reactions, and even tried to be a fish in his spare time, strolling in the courtyard. He chased the knife and came out.
Commander Yan was startled again, but he knew that he had used some strength, and responded with a fierce slap with his palm. He retreated to correct himself, and the saber slid on the ground, leaving a long mark from deep to shallow.
Yan Han praised: "Young man has great skills. If you want to join the army, your status will definitely be no lower than mine in the future."
Song Linjie dealt with it, but he was still a little weak in the face of the fierce attack of the first rank. He twisted his hands, and after stretching, he replied: "I'm not interested. There are too few masters in your military camp, and there are too many rules. It is far less effective than practicing in the arena. It’s remarkable.”
Yan Han sighed: "That's really a pity."
Afterwards, the two drew their swords and faced each other again, and they struggled for a while, but there was no victory or defeat. However, the first-level master could breathe as usual with every breath. Song Linjie could only rely on his eternal energy to keep himself from falling behind. Yan Han I was shocked by the opponent again. If it were another second-level person, such a non-stop killing would have been accomplished long ago, but this person is only a first-level person, but his internal strength is so strong?
Suddenly, Yan Han felt something was wrong in the imperial study room, and forcibly stopped his sword. The old eunuch also turned around and frowned.
I saw that the royal study room was not pushed open, but forced open. One person rolled out with him, and the door panel was shattered on the ground.
The young man on the ground was undoubtedly Zhang Ling. As soon as he got up from the ground, a knife was wrapped around the back of his neck and placed on his shoulder. Zhang Ling knew the current situation and raised his hand to do it without thinking.
Later, Emperor Chen Liuren walked out of the room with a scroll of paintings in his hand and shouted: "Put down the knife."
Commander Yan immediately followed the instructions, but this was not just for him. Chen Liuren turned his eyes and looked at Song Linjie: "You too."
Seeing that there was no fight left, Song Linjie had no choice but to put away his sword. He just stared at Zhang Ling and the emperor with interest. Why did the two of them suddenly start fighting after they were having a conversation? The emperor is unreasonable these days and likes to use his fists?
Chen Liuren looked at Zhang Ling and asked seriously: "Are you going to do it or not?"
Zhang Ling sighed and said helplessly: "Your Majesty said that students should do their best."
Chen Liuren emphasized again: “It’s not about trying your best, it’s about necessity.”
The other three people were all confused. The old eunuch had served His Majesty all year round and could barely guess a thing or two. However, he only thought about these things in his heart and did not dare to speak out.
Chen Liuren looked around, his eyes were full of devastation, and said to Yan Han: "Yan Han, for a private fight in the palace, you will be punished with thirty sticks, and the damaged items will be deducted from your salary."
Yan Han knelt down on one knee, raised his hand and said, "I will accept my punishment."
Chen Liuren glanced at Song Linjie again, passed by in a flash, threw the scroll to Zhang Ling, and said: "The matter has been said and the fight has been fought. Eunuch Zhao, please take them both out of the palace."
Zhao Weizhong bent down to answer, walked towards the two young men, hooked his hands, and asked them to follow him. When he couldn't see His Majesty's sight, he looked around and saw that there was no one around. He carefully said to Zhang Ling: "Master, today is the day." Did you start a fight with His Majesty?"
Zhang Ling smiled bitterly and said: "Yes, I didn't expect that His Majesty is still a master, and he accidentally suffered a lot."
Zhao Weizhong reminded: "Sir, your majesty must not fight back if you do something. It's better if you don't do it. You will probably suffer some physical pain. If you do fight back, it may be a death penalty. If your majesty really wants to kill someone, he will never do it." If there is something you can't solve by yourself, you can contact our family, and we won't be stingy if we can help."
Zhang Ling smiled and cupped his hands and said: "Thank you for the reminder, father-in-law. I'll keep it in mind. It's just that it's really hard to tell my father-in-law about this matter. But when necessary, I will definitely trouble my father-in-law more. I will definitely remember your father-in-law's kindness." .”
