As Shi Yinheng said, he did not hold back this time.
With his full blow, Mei Yuanchen took six steps back before regaining his balance. Although he was not injured by this palm, he was already at a disadvantage visible to the naked eye.
"What a strong internal force!"
The moment the four palms touched each other, a strong and vigorous force surged forward, allowing Mei Yuanchen to have a more concrete experience of Shi Yinheng's martial arts: "As expected of a veteran who has been famous for decades, his palm power is so strong, Apart from Master, I’m afraid there is really no one who can match me.”
He knew many masters, among them Yun Xiaomeng was the best with fists and palms. His set of "Broken Jade Palms" was extremely powerful, but compared with Shi Yinheng, he didn't seem to have the slightest advantage.
"I have only learned Master's 'Such Palm' technique not long ago. I have not fully understood the many tricks of accumulating and exerting force. I am afraid that I will suffer a loss today. As for the 'Welcome to the door and invite the thief' technique just now, If I had accumulated my strength in advance at the six points of Qinglengyuan, Xiaoluo, and Zhenhui on both arms instead of the six points of Jianliao, Tianliao, and Tianyao on the shoulder blades, then although the stamina would be a little weaker, the force would be released quickly. A little bit. When your palm strikes the opponent, you probably won't be forced back by his second level of strength."
Just after receiving the palm, Mei Yuanchen took six steps back while Shi Yinheng only took two steps. To outsiders, these four steps were a big gap.
"What the hell! That kid's hair hasn't even grown yet. How can he develop such strong inner strength?"
The two of them stared at each other, and suddenly, they took action almost at the same time, and they exchanged palms wildly. The thick "Bang! Bang!" sound shook the eardrums of the people on the stage and made their hearts beat faster.
The two palms just now were just testing each other's details, and now the real duel began.
In the eyes of others, Mei Yuanchen's martial arts is not superior, and it is unwise to fight head-on. There may be a chance of victory with some clever tactics. Who would have thought that he would fight Shi Yinheng in the most hard-core way?
"In today's martial arts school, Senior Brother and Palace Master Yun have determined that I will lose. In this case, victory or defeat is no longer so important to me. If I can hurt Senior Shi, it will be a big blow to Zhenwu Guan, Yufeng Escort Bureau and The subsequent showdown between Suxin Palace will naturally be beneficial."
After understanding the purpose of this battle, Mei Yuanchen did not hesitate at all to take action. He almost used all his strength with his palms, quite like a fight to the death.
Yun Xiaomeng and Yi Qilin, who were sitting outside the circle, looked at each other and saw that he was as surprised and confused as they were. Obviously, Mei Yuanchen's martial arts and fighting methods were something they had never thought of and did not dare to think of.
"Look at him, he looks very gentle, but his martial arts skills are very fierce. He is somewhat similar to my broken jade palm from Suxin Palace. Alas, if this bastard can be dedicated and single-minded, he and his junior sister will really be a match in the world of mortals. Good company.”
While she was thinking about it, she looked at Yun Xiaoyang and Yi Qingxin separately, and saw that both of them had their skirts tightly clenched, their noses slightly wrinkled, and their heads raised as they stared at the circle of the martial arts school, completely unaware that she was watching from the side.
"Oh, there is only Mei Yuanchen, how can we tell her how to separate the two?" Yun Xiaomeng sighed inwardly, "I forgot, there is an eldest princess in the capital!"
... ...
The eldest princess's mansion is as quiet as night during the day. Because it is speechless, it is even more in line with the coldness of this winter.
There is still no cure for Xia Chengyi's poison. For the servants in this mansion, the sky has collapsed in half.
Xia Chengxuan has not returned to the palace since he moved into the eldest princess's mansion. This is when his sister needs him the most, and he must be by her side.
In fact, what's more, he is worried that his sister will leave soon and he won't have time to see her for the last time.
Although he didn't want to believe it, Xia Chengxuan knew that his only sister might not live long. After seeing it, all the imperial doctors and famous folk doctors said that there is no cure for this poison.
Since so many doctors could not cure her poison, it means that the poison is indeed very difficult to cure.
"Chenghuan, you must capture Duanmuyu alive and ask him to get Yiyi's antidote!" He prayed in his heart countless times.
If possible, he hopes that the person who appears in Hanzhou City is himself, not Xia Chenghuan.
"Have the people from Snow Country left?"
"Back to the emperor, the special envoy from the Snow Kingdom left the city early in the morning. Official ultimatums to the counties and states along the way have been issued in advance, and the garrison camps in each state will escort them all the way to Zhilin County. A message has been sent from General Bu. Arrangements have been made, and after receiving the peace letter from the Snow Kingdom, the 20,000 people from General Zhilin's Mansion can be transferred to Zhubei County." Liu Shiru answered softly, bowing slightly.
Speaking softly is respectful, while bowing is serious.
He had nothing but respect for this little emperor. This kind of respect comes from the heart and stems from what Xia Chengxuan has done in less than half a year since he took the throne.
Reduce and reduce taxes, grant amnesty to light prisoners, and bring peace to the people.
Pick up corruption, order the killing of corrupt officials, and exercise strict control over all officials.
Send the hostage back, abolish the hostage system, and show the sincerity of the four kings.
King Rui is in charge of writing, King Xin is in charge of military affairs, and he entrusts powerful officials with power.
Connect Xian Ma in the south, connect the Snow Kingdom in the north, and provide peace to weak neighbors.
They built plank roads openly, visited Chencang secretly, and organized heavy troops to fight.
"The emperor is so young, but he has such great courage. In time, he will become a great hero! With such a wise king, why should Dahua have to worry about its decline continuing? Why should the country be unstable?"
Xia Chengxuan didn't know what the old minister was thinking. He only knew that another big thing was finally completed, and he whispered: "Tell Bushe to hurry up. There is no need to go around to the general's residence in the north for the 20,000 yuan." You can go directly to Suzhou City. I will draft a decree later and ask my uncle... to ask Ran Jiangong to move the northern camp to Suzhou. You and Zhan Junyue and Sima Ang will calculate the material needs and prepare them for him as soon as possible. If enough, send them over in batches."
"Yes." Liu Shiru went through those two things in his mind, and then replied seriously, "I'll take care of it when I get back."
Shatuo sent troops to attack Anxian County and took in Zhao Qianming, who had defected to Dahua. This destined that there would be a war between the two countries sooner or later. And once the two countries go to war, the battlefield will definitely be around Suzhou, Yanzhou, and Jinzhou. This battle is not only a battle for Dahua to clear his name, but also a battle for Xia Chengxuan to avenge his father's murder. He can only win, not lose!
In a battle that must be won, combat preparation is particularly important.
"Where are Xian Ma's special envoys? I heard that this Xiao Pu is Xiao Cong's favorite nephew?" Xia Chengxuan asked as he ran outside the house.
When it comes to political affairs, it is often difficult to explain clearly in a few words. He is afraid of disturbing his sleeping sister, so he does not dare to stay here for a long time.
Liu Shiru followed behind Xia Chengyi on his old legs until he left Xia Chengyi's small courtyard, and then replied: "Old General Ou's report said that Xian Ma's special envoy passed the Tanzhou City Pass on the ninth day of the lunar month. To calculate the progress, they should We have arrived in Juzhou. As for Prince Xiao Pu, the old ministers have also heard about him. It is said that he is extremely talented, capable of both literary and military skills and is deeply loved by Emperor Xian Ma."
Xia Chengxuan smiled and nodded, and said coldly: "The Duanmu family is accustomed to using some tricks of bribery. Xiao Cong is not a fool. I have seen whether the previous envoy was bribed. How could he notice it? Not yet?"
"Yes! Yes! Your Majesty is aware of everything, and Jue Guo's little tricks can't be hidden from your eyes." Liu Shiru nodded vigorously.
When the envoy from Jue Kingdom was still in the capital, Xia Chengxuan told several ministers, "This person must have received money from the Duanmu family." At that time, he was a little disapproving. After learning that General Xian Ma would send another envoy to Dahua, Several ministers were so impressed that they fell to the ground.
"What's going on over there in Ruozhou? Has Qingji heard back?"
In addition to Xia Chenghuan and the Shenshaoying Camp, Xia Chengxuan also sent Qingji to lead a group of people to Xiahe County. He didn't dare to hide Xia Chengyi's matter from Mei Yuanchen.
"Back to the Emperor, the letter from Qingji has not yet arrived. However, the letter from Duke Qin arrived first. It said that Young Master Mei is indeed in Ruozhou, and will also participate in the martial arts test for Zhenwu Temple." Old Minister sighed. He smacked his tongue in reply.
Qin Xiaoyou's military situation was eight hundred miles away. He sent it out before dawn yesterday, and it arrived at noon today.
"Why is he joining in the fun of the martial arts alliance? Anyone who wants to seize the leadership of the martial arts alliance is not a top master. Isn't he being stupid? He is stupid!" Xia Chengxuan's eyes turned red and he cursed fiercely, " Hurry up and have someone deliver the letter, go directly to Xu’s house to find him, and tell him to return to the capital quickly without any delay!”
... ...
After facing more than two hundred palms in succession, Mei Yuanchen's hands were a little numb, and blood was flowing from the mouth of his ten fingers.
Even so, he still stared at Shi Yinheng closely, trying not to be timid about admitting defeat.
"It's amazing! I can fight more than two hundred moves with such a martial arts senior. Oh, you can't find many in the entire world!"
"This young man's palm skills are so powerful. It doesn't match his description at all. Tsk tsk... Oh, when will I have such skill?"
Yi Qilin watched from the seat and couldn't help nodding frequently, thinking: "After all, he is the son of the Mei family. Although he is still young, his strong character has already grown up. To say that he is worthy of that girl, it is not wronging her. . However, he is still engaged to the eldest princess, how can I say this? It’s so embarrassing! This matter is really embarrassing!"
If it weren't for this reason, Yi Qilin would be willing to talk about this marriage if he was embarrassed. But he already knew about the engagement between Mei Yuanchen and Xia Chengyi, and it involved the royal family. No matter how big-hearted he was, he would not dare to act on his heart.
"Senior brother, when did I learn this palm technique? Why haven't I seen master use it before?" Zhan Wei turned his head and asked quietly.
Zhan Ming shook his head and said with a smile: "Master, we don't know much about his martial arts. He stayed in Huazi Prison for more than a year, and I think it was at that time that he passed it on to his junior brother. Junior Brother The talent is astonishing, Master’s longevity skills really have a successor.”
Seeing Shi and Mei once again exerting their palm power, Brother Zhan Ming was speechless and looked hard at the martial arts school circle.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Every sound inspired by the four palms was as muffled as a steel pestle hitting the ground, heavy and majestic.
"Such a strong palm power! I didn't expect that the only remaining sapling of the Mei family could have such skills. Fortunately, I saw it today, otherwise... Haha, cut the weeds instead of the roots!" He had already won easily. Zhang Suiguang smiled and looked at Mei Yuanchen, who was fighting fiercely with Shi Yinheng with his palms, his eyes narrowed into thin slits.
