bet?
Xu Ze and Li Yun looked at each other and saw the smile in each other's eyes.
There are some things that, as a subordinate and slave of the master, it is really inconvenient to say them.
They couldn't tell King Yong directly that they didn't believe that a prince, a prince who was about to become a prince, could persevere.
There are many people who talk big words, but there are a lot of people all over the world who can't persist even if they really start.
Although they both thought so, the two of them still nodded in unison and said: "Since His Highness wants to bet, then (the slave) will bet with His Highness in his humble position. But, what is the bet?"
Li Xian thought for a while and then said: "What do you think we can do with our status? If I can persevere and defeat you two one day, then you must obey my arrangements unconditionally. It is an extremely embarrassing thing to do. On the contrary, if I cannot persist, then in the future, if I am within my ability, I can agree to your modest request, how about it?"
No way, the huge difference in status makes anything Li Xian can use as a bet look like a charity.
However, Xu Ze and Li Yun didn't see it that way.
Especially Li Yun, he knew very well that the emperor had now called King Yong back, and half of this man had already sat on the throne of the prince. Especially when he thought of the emperor's order to him, he was even more certain that his majesty's test for the successor had already begun.
Regardless of the identity of the prince or possible emperor, even the current King Yong, as a prince, a promise is very valuable!
Nodding, Li Yun said: "Of course, it's just that His Highness wants to practice martial arts, and the skills in fists and kicks alone are not enough. I can teach His Highness the skills of fists and kicks, but other swordsmanship, archery and other skills cannot be left behind."
Li Xian nodded. Since he decided to practice martial arts, he couldn't leave anything else behind.
Xu Ze laughed on the side and said: "I have made a bet with Your Highness. Since the steward wants to teach His Highness boxing and kicking skills, I will teach Your Highness swordsmanship. As for archery, although I can do it, I am not specialized in it, so I won't show off my embarrassment. Your Highness." In the future, you might as well take an archery master as your teacher."
There was another thing Xu Ze didn't say, that is, he didn't think His Highness King Yong could persist in learning archery.
in addition....
Glancing at Li Yun beside him, Xu Ze couldn't help but shiver.
A layman looks at the excitement, an expert looks at the door.
Although in the battle just now, it seemed that he and the manager were evenly matched and hurt each other. But the experience accumulated over the years and the intuition developed on the battlefield told him that this eunuch was terrifying!
What Li Yun showed was just an appearance. If the other party really wanted his life, he would be finished in just a few back and forth.
Indeed, when two people are fighting, if one party deliberately holds back their hands, it will easily overturn. But if one party has an absolute advantage...
Li Xian naturally couldn't tell. In his opinion, since Li Yun and Xu Ze were on par, it was feasible to learn from anyone.
Now that it was agreed, Li Xian rubbed his hands and asked Li Yun: "Well, Manager Li, look at it, are we going to start today?"
Seeing King Yong's impatient look, Li Yun smiled, spread his legs and squatted down, clenched his hands into fists at his waist, and said: "Since Your Highness wants to start today, let's start with Zhanzhuang. This Zhanzhuang is not only martial arts. The basis of learning is also the basis for the military to strengthen their muscles and bones. It can train people's lower body, so your highness may wish to try it."
Standing?
Looking at Li Yong's movements, Li Xian slapped his forehead, isn't this just a squatting horse stance?
The origin of the "horse step", a basic martial arts skill, cannot be verified, but what is certain is that it must have a very far-reaching origin.
It's just a horse step. You don't even need to look at Li Yun's appearance. Li Xian recalled it and made a standard dewu! Can! pick! Tick! horse steps.
"Is it like this?"
"That's right, Your Highness, I'll be practicing this until noon today."
As soon as Li Yun finished speaking, not only Xu Ze, but also the other guards also made horse steps.
"Until noon?"
Hearing this, Li Xian suddenly felt that his legs were sore.
It’s okay to do the horse step for a while, but if you do it all morning, my dear, will you still be alive?
When I was a child in a village primary school, I was punished by the teacher to squat on horseback, but it only lasted a few minutes and I couldn't stand it anymore. Now, one morning? ? ?
However, there is no way to say that in the martial arts arena, everyone is squatting. Although he was a majestic prince, since he had said before that he would insist on practicing martial arts, he could only knock out his teeth and swallow them in his stomach.
At this moment, Li Xian regretted extremely, because the horse stance he just made was a bit too standard...
Horse walking may seem simple, but it is extremely difficult for beginners to do it for an hour, let alone a whole morning.
Therefore, Li Xian had to get up from time to time, stretch his legs, and then squat back down again.
Throughout the morning, he interrupted more than twenty times, but fortunately, a few guards also interrupted a few times, allowing him to keep a decent face.
As for Li Yun and Xu Ze, these two are inhuman. They only lift up a little occasionally. Other than that, not only do they not show any sign of pain, they even talk and laugh happily, as if there is an invisible chair under their buttocks.
"Your Highness, lunch has been prepared. Do you want to eat?"
It wasn't until the cook from the kitchen came over that the morning's exercise finally ended.
It wasn't until Li Yong stood up that Li Xiancai finally couldn't hold on any longer and sat down on the ground, unable to retract his legs.
At this moment, his legs were no longer his.
Although His Highness King Yong's posture was very funny, everyone was not laughing at it, but was shocked.
This morning...
Did King Yong, who had never practiced martial arts, persevere?
Xu Ze was most surprised. Even the ordinary Xinfu soldiers could not maintain such actions for a whole morning under the whip of the captain. Just now he and Li Yun seemed to be "talking and laughing", but in fact they were discussing in a low voice how long King Yong could last.
Li Yong believed that King Yong could persist for at most half an hour, while Xu Ze was more optimistic and felt that one hour was still enough.
However, the fact is that both men were wrong.
King Yong, a beginner, actually persisted throughout the whole process!
Although he always stood up and stretched his legs and stamped his feet every once in a while during the whole process, he just persevered!
Looking at each other, seeing the surprise in each other's eyes, the two of them cupped their fists and saluted in unison: "Your Highness is mighty!"
The surrounding guards also clasped their fists together: "Your Highness is mighty!"
The word "mighty" is not used casually, but at this moment, Li Xian, who was lying on the ground with his feet in the air, made these people speak this respectful word from the bottom of their hearts.
