The time of practice always flies by.
After pretending for about half a month, Zhao Hongming "returned to normal".
During this period, Chen Xuerong, just as Zhao Hongming requested, continued to explain to him the problems that might be faced in actual combat.
Sometimes he would also demonstrate it himself, which benefited him a lot.
The happiest thing for Zhao Hongming every day is to sit on a stone chair and watch Chen Xuerong's graceful demonstrations.
"Your Highness, do you understand now?"
"Ms. Chen's explanation was very thorough, and I know it."
"Okay. Your Highness has been practicing diligently recently, just to keep fit. There are records in history books that some members of the royal family were too fat and had poor physical strength and could not run during the war. Therefore, they were disliked and hacked by their subordinates. Death. Therefore, Your Highness should practice more at this time to be prepared."
Zhao Hongming put away his admiring gaze and said with a serious expression: "I must study hard and practice hard."
…
Playing in the palace, evening.
There were inspections in front of the palace. Wan Yongqing gathered together with the palace chief and other subordinates.
Eight people sat around the table.
"Now that Chu, Zhao and Han have formed an alliance, Korean assassins have come out in force. Many high-ranking officials and martial arts forces in the three countries have been attacked by assassins."
Wan Yongqing sat on a chair and kept stroking the long knife across his leg.
His eyes were sharp, like an eagle soaring in the sky, overlooking the prey on the ground.
"Now that the three countries have formed an alliance, it won't be long before wars begin between the countries. This time, the Wei Dynasty will face quite a challenge."
"South Korea may send more assassins into the palace later."
Yu Yongmin, the deputy commander of the Dianqian Division, said worriedly: "The challenges our Dianqian Division will face will not be as big as usual. Maybe we will all become the primary targets of Korean assassins. If we are not careful, we will be like Lao Dai and Lao Miao. I didn’t even know I was dead.”
As soon as this was said, everyone present fell silent.
"Let's not talk about this. Last time, a third person was found at the scene of Lao Dai's death. He was said to be an assassin in the Xiantian realm. Has Brother Wan found any clues?" A man among the crowd said.
"Not yet." Wan Youqing shook his head and said, "The assassin was too cunning and left too few clues. This day, I and the dead eunuchs from the Imperial City Department searched through the palace, but there was not a single trace. clues."
Yu Yongmin, the deputy commander of the front department, thought for a while and said: "I carefully checked the scene again later. The technique used by this Xiantian-level assassin is a bit like the martial art of slashing with one sword from heaven and earth."
"Cut heaven and earth with one sword?"
"Yes, this is a well-known secret skill in the world. Every move is aimed at killing with just one strike. My master died under this martial art back then, and I was deeply impressed. This Heaven and Earth Strike came from the Gate of Heaven and Earth, and it has now disappeared. Yes, it seems that there are only a few martial arts madmen in the palace who know better."
"Are you saying that those crazy martial artists might be hiding assassins?" Someone raised doubts.
"This possibility cannot be ruled out."
"The Cangwu Building is not accessible to just cats and dogs. How do we check this?"
Wan Yongqing, who was listening quietly to everyone's speech, said: "Now His Majesty is scratching his head over the alliance between Chu, Zhao and Han. How can he care about us? So let's put this matter aside for now."
"This is not good~"
Wan Yongqing said: "I would like to ask you, how long has it been since your salary has been increased?"
As soon as this was said, the others fell silent.
A closer look shows that their salaries have not changed for at least ten years.
Wan Yongqing said calmly: "The King of Wei is a conservative king and has no great talents. Therefore, the Three Kingdoms' attack on Wei will probably be a big blow to the Wei State. What will happen in the future is unpredictable, so you still have the intention to seize this opportunity." The so-called assassin?"
Everyone heard that there was something in Wan Yongqing's words.
"I hope Master Wan will make it clear."
"Take one step first and watch one step at a time. I advise everyone who is very strong to leave three or five points, and don't tie the Zhao family's ship too deeply." Wan Yongqing said: "It will be useful later. "
Everyone present became thoughtful. They heard that Wan Yongqing probably had his own way out and plans, but he still kept them hidden.
"As the saying goes, those who understand current affairs are heroes. What Brother Wan said makes sense." Someone immediately flattered him.
"Brother Wan has an opportunity to make a fortune, why not share it with us brothers?"
"It's nothing. I can only say that in two months, maybe everyone will have a chance to give it a try. That's it. Everyone can appreciate it."
at the same time.
In a dark corner outside Zuozhong Palace, Zhao Hongming was holding a bowl of Bajiuzi soup with a look of astonishment on his face.
He didn't expect that he would hear such shocking news just after going out for a walk at night.
After he tasted the benefits of the Bahuang Secret Skill last time, he often wandered outside, eavesdropped on other people's conversations, and learned about some palace developments that he didn't know about.
Sometimes I have to say that this method is really effective.
Which concubine in the palace was favored, which important minister was punished, which princes Emperor Jian'an paid attention to during this period, which concubine had an affair with a certain eunuch who was reborn...
He knew all the news like this.
Sometimes it’s so interesting to listen to them chatting that I lose track of time and feel reluctant to leave, which makes me very hungry afterwards.
After learning the lesson, he learned wisely later, taking food and listening at the same time.
After he finished dinner today, he thought that Wan Yongqing had been looking for him before and had no news recently, so he planned to come over to find out the situation.
But I really didn't expect such a result.
Zhao Hongming took a chicken leg and started to chew it, with a thoughtful look on his face.
"Since the three countries of Chu, Zhao and Han have formed an alliance, the next step may be to use troops against Wei. The capital of Daliang City is located on a flat hill and there is no danger to defend it. Once the four countries go to war, the future situation will be really bad."
"I don't know how Emperor Jian'an will respond and arrange for us princes and princesses."
Zhao Hongming suddenly became worried, and even the chicken drumsticks he ate were no longer as fragrant as before.
In addition to the alliance between the three countries, there was another thing that surprised him.
When did he become an innate-level assassin?
Zhao Hongming sighed silently, and with a sudden movement of consciousness, he evoked the martial arts panel of [Tiandao Rewards Qin].
[Name: Zhao Hongming]
[Cultivation method: Bahuang Eternal Age Gong-5th level of Tongqiao (1224/3500)]
[Martial skills: Heaven and Earth One Slash - Seventh Level (700/700), Secret of the Eight Desolations (2100/X)]
[Can break through martial arts: None]
[Today’s practice time: 6 hours]
[Physique: Good]
[Root bone bonus: 1.6]
It's obviously still a little short of being innate.
Zhao Hongming finished chewing the chicken drumstick in his hand, and then his figure slowly melted into the darkness and disappeared.
He must go back and seize the time to practice, and strive to break through this innateness as soon as possible.
The news of the alliance between the three countries made him feel very insecure.
