Chen Kang entered Prince Duan's Mansion and settled down. There was food and drink in the palace, and all he had to do was practice boxing with King Duan and compete with each other in martial arts.
This job is very easy for Chen Kang.
No wonder people who are successful in martial arts basically cling to powerful people.
There is no way, the material life provided by the rich and powerful is too generous for people to refuse.
Chen Kang didn't feel that he was clinging to Prince Duan's Mansion. He believes that he and King Duan only have a "cooperative" relationship.
If you are unhappy, you can leave at any time.
As for whether King Duan thought this way, Chen Kang didn't know.
Morning.
Chen Kang came to Prince Duan's Mansion to have breakfast.
Then he became a sparring partner for King Duan.
Bang bang bang.
The sound of fists and feet clashing came from the martial arts hall.
It was Chen Kang and Duan Wang who were sparring.
After these two days of exploration, Chen Kang not only understood the level of King Duan's martial arts, but also his character.
In fact, Chen Kang really doesn't like to figure out other people's thoughts. It consumes too much of his own energy.
But in the palace, it is not possible to act recklessly without caring about Prince Duan's character.
Chen Kang's nature is that he is an honest person. He is not good at clever words and does not like to be full of calculations.
In the eyes of others, this is a sign of low emotional intelligence.
It's not that Chen Kang really doesn't know how to say flattery, but that Chen Kang puts technology first.
When your skills and abilities reach a certain level, others will look to you for help.
At that time, there was no need to say flattery or look at other people's faces.
Chen Kang competed with King Duan without any reservations.
After understanding the real martial arts, Chen Kang no longer paid attention to any special skills.
In combat, where is the real trick?
As long as the physical strength, willpower, and skills reach a high level, any move can turn decay into magic, and any move can be a unique move.
boom.
Chen Kang's straight punch hit Duan Wang's fist.
They both retreated at the same time.
Chen Kang retreated more than ten meters.
King Duan only took two steps back.
It can be seen that in terms of strength, Duan Wang is indeed much stronger than Chen Kang.
Chen Kang quickly controlled his muscles and veins, activated his qi and blood, and regained consciousness in his arm that had been paralyzed by the shock.
"In terms of strength, I'm still a little behind after all. Even though I have a thousand pounds of divine power, it's still not enough in front of King Duan."
After all, Duan Wang is a veteran foreign martial arts master, and his physical fitness must exceed Chen Kang.
However, as long as Chen Kang reaches the level of a martial arts master, his physical fitness and stamina will soon catch up with King Duan.
"stop."
King Duan shouted.
The maid handed over a clean towel.
King Duan wiped the sweat from his face with a towel and said, "Chen Kang, what footwork are you using? It's too flexible."
Chen Kang said: "Butterfly step. If the prince is interested, I will go back and write down the key points of the footwork and give it to the prince tomorrow."
The butterfly step is a combination of several simple steps, but Chen Kang doesn't like it.
There are many people practicing the butterfly step, but how many can become boxing champions?
Moreover, the butterfly step is not a breathing method or a force-generating technique, so Chen Kang has no intention of hiding it.
King Duan said happily: "Chen Kang, if you have any questions about martial arts in the future, you can ask me."
Chen Kang said neither humble nor arrogantly: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
King Duan snorted coldly and looked at the other warriors in the martial arts hall.
How do you see it and why are you dissatisfied?
Everything is afraid of comparison. Compared with Chen Kang, they are useless.
King Duan felt so happy when he was competing with Chen Kang in martial arts. Comparing with other people...forget it, don't mention those rubbish.
"Your Majesty, bring Chen Zhengying here." A middle-aged man came in and said.
King Duan said: "Bring Chen Zhengying here. This Chen Zhengying is very easy for me to find. I have been looking for him for seven or eight years."
Chen Zhengying was tied up and escorted into the martial arts hall.
King Duan said: "I want you to invite Chen Zhengying back. Untie him quickly."
A guard pulled out a knife and cut the rope around Chen Zhengying.
Chen Kang looked at Chen Zhengying carefully.
Chen Zhengying is slightly chubby, her body is loose and soft, and her breathing is long. It is obvious that she has practiced superb breathing techniques.
However, Chen Zhengying's face was pale, his eyes were dull, and he was a little depressed.
He suffered on the road.
King Duan said: "Chen Zhengying, when you and I fought, there was no winner. This time, we will compete again. If you win, I will let you go."
In that fight back then, King Duan lost.
King Duan knew it well.
But he is a prince, and he wants to save face and will not admit that he has lost.
Chen Zhengying said: "Does the prince really mean what he said? If I win, will I really let the grassroots people and the people in Chenjiagou go free?"
Prince Duan said coldly: "Humph, do you think I am a villain who keeps his word? I keep my word. As long as you can defeat me, you can stride out of Prince Duan's palace."
Chen Kang stood aside and shook his head secretly, did King Duan keep his word?
The words of powerful people cannot be trusted.
Especially the dignitaries of the Manchu Qing Dynasty were all dishonest people.
Kangxi was like this, Qianlong was like this.
In other words, the promises made by those high-ranking and powerful men are basically impossible to fulfill.
If you believe it, you will die miserably.
Powerful men talk about benevolence, justice and morality. But if you really want to deal with them, there is only one principle, and that is "exchange of interests."
Chen Kang was able to enter Prince Duan's Mansion, wasn't it because Prince Duan was attracted by his martial arts skills?
If Chen Kang had no real ability, no one would look him in the eye.
But.
Chen Zhengying actually believed what King Duan said.
Duan Wang and Chen Zhengying have already started fighting.
Chen Kang focused all his attention on Chen Zhengying.
Chen Zhengying's Tai Chi is not just fancy fists and embroidered legs, but an authentic internal martial art that can stand the test of actual combat.
Duan Wang's fists and kicks were heavier and faster than Chen Kang's. Chen Zhengying can actually use Tai Chi's gentle strength to resolve it.
Chen Kang secretly said: "The core of Tai Chi is the transformation of hardness and softness. The force used must be strong and domineering, like a steel whip or a giant hammer. But when blocking and defending, it must be resolved with feminine techniques. "
"The body technique of Tai Chi... has only one key point: if the enemy goes against you, I will obey you!"
Chen Kang has a solid foundation in boxing and rigorous logical thinking. He could analyze the characteristics of any boxing move just by looking at it.
Of course, although the style and concept of boxing moves are important, breathing and force-generating techniques are more important.
But even if Chen Kang has a good eye, he can't understand the breathing and force-generating techniques of Tai Chi.
If you want to learn, you have to ask Chen Zhengying and Yang Yuqian for advice.
Bang.
King Duan was thrown out by Chen Zhengying with four or two moves.
King Duan did a somersault, landed safely, and said in a cold voice: "Tai Chi is a bit interesting. However, I will definitely beat you this time."
King Duan's attack became more fierce.
Sudden.
Chen Zhengying's expression changed. Her gentle techniques failed to relieve Duan Wang's leg strength. She was kicked seven or eight steps away and fell to the ground, with blood flowing from the corner of her mouth.
Chen Zhengying was injured.
When King Duan saw Chen Zhengying in such a miserable state, he felt happy and said happily: "Chen Zhengying, your martial arts skills are nothing more than this. Compared with the past, there is no improvement. Someone, please imprison Chen Zhengying."
Chen Zhengying lost not because of his boxing skills, but because he was poisoned, hungry and lacked physical strength.
Chen Zhengying can only exert 50% to 60% of his usual strength.
King Duan fought him at his peak. If Chen Zhengying can still win, then he will be a god.
Chen Zhengying was taken away.
King Duan waved his hand and told the others to leave, leaving Chen Kang behind.
King Duan looked serious and said, "Chen Kang, do you understand Chen Zhengying's boxing skills?"
Chen Kang said: "I do remember some of the moves."
Duan Wang said: "Tai Chi is a little different from the boxing method I practice. I feel that this boxing method is not simple."
Chen Kang nodded and said: "Chen Family Tai Chi is indeed not simple."
Unfortunately, the breathing and force-generating techniques of Neijiaquan are the real secrets of boxing. Even Chen Zhengying's daughter didn't learn the essence, let alone others.
Even if he died, Chen Zhengying would not give up the breathing and force-generating skills of Neijiaquan.
…
evening.
Chen Kang left the palace and returned to his residence.
"Chen Zhengying has arrived in the capital." Chen Kang secretly said, "I'm afraid it will be very difficult to learn his internal martial arts."
Become a disciple of Chen Zhengying?
Chen Kang thought that he was afraid that Chen Zhengying wouldn't accept it.
After all, the Chen family's boxing skills are passed down from within to within, not from outside, and passed down from son to daughter.
As for Yang Yuqian, that is an exception.
Chen Zhengying trained Yang Yuqian as his son-in-law, who was of course one of his own.
Right now.
A young man rushed into the courtyard with a woman and two children.
"Brother Chen Kang, help me." The young man shouted hurriedly.
Chen Kang recognized this young man. He was the one who introduced me to the Caobang before.
Chen Kang said: "Ah Liang, what's going on? If you need help, go to the Yamen and report it to the officials."
A Liang said: "It's too late. Someone is chasing us. Brother Chen Kang, this is the gang leader's wife, and the two children are the gang leader's son and daughter. You must save us."
The leader of the Cao Gang passed away half a year ago, leaving behind an orphan and a widowed mother.
The struggle within the Cao Gang for the position of gang leader has entered a fierce stage.
Someone finally took action on the wife and children of the former gang leader.
There are many people outside.
The small courtyard was surrounded.
Chen Kang frowned, why did trouble always come to him?
Chen Kang didn't want to take care of this matter, but looking at the orphans and widows, he couldn't bear to drive them away.
Chen Kang said: "You stay in the house and don't go out. I'll send them away."
Chen Kang walked out of the courtyard and closed the door.
The woman looked worried and said, "A-Liang, this Chen Kang... is he really capable of saving us?"
A Liang said: "Madam, Chen Kang is a real master. He has defeated the guards at Yongning Gege's house. As long as he comes forward, we will be safe for the time being. At that time, I will find an opportunity to send you out of the city to find Mr. Dong. "
The Mr. Dong that A Liang is talking about is the adopted brother of the former gang leader and the master of Baguazhang "Dong Hancheng".
…
Hall Master Chen led dozens of Cao Gang disciples to confront Chen Kang.
"Chen Kang, I know you are hiding people in the house." Hall Master Chen said, "Hand the people over, otherwise, I will hack you to death."
Chen Kang said: "I don't know what you are talking about. Hall Master Chen, I am no longer a member of the Cao Gang. I did not provoke the Cao Gang, but you came to provoke me first. Take your people and get out. Don't let me Take action."
Hall Master Chen said angrily: "You are impudent. If you dare to go against the Cao Gang, you will only die. Go ahead and chop Chen Kang to death."
Caogang may sound like a loose organization that delivers goods, but in fact it is still a gang.
Fighting and killing has been engraved in Caobang's bones.
Chen Kang squinted his eyes. There's going to be a fight, right? Then don't blame me for being cruel.
Chen Kang used his Eagle Claw Fist and rushed into the crowd.
Click.
"ah……"
Screams came.
A Caobang disciple's arm was broken, and his bones were exposed.
