Chapter 382 Lu Zhao
"Haven't you heard of the name of Princess Lu Zhao, the number one martial arts genius in Daxing?"
"The light of the sun and moon is not as bright as Lu Zhaocai."
"Have you ever heard anyone say this?"
Emperor Yongyuan looked at Li Xuan with the eyes of an enemy spy, as if he would let Zhao Feng capture him the next moment and send him to the Ministry of Internal Affairs for interrogation.
Even when Li Xuan didn't know the founding emperor of Daxing, Emperor Yongyuan didn't have such a reaction.
"Lu Zhao, princess?"
"The second child is not a prince, but a princess!?"
Li Xuan's body leaned back slightly, his expression dull.
Emperor Yongyuan and Empress Wu were convinced that the one person who could not pose a threat to other princes and princesses turned out to be a princess.
And he also has the title of the number one martial arts genius in Daxing.
Even that line of poetry sounds quite extraordinary.
"Isn't the brilliance of the sun and the moon inferior to that of Princess Luzhao?"
Seeing Li Xuan's reaction, Emperor Yongyuan shook his head and smiled:
"It seems that you have never heard of Lu Zhao."
"There are people in Daxing who really don't know her."
"Even if it's a cat or a dog, it has to be recited several times by passers-by."
Li Xuan rolled his eyes at Emperor Yongyuan, and naturally he could tell that he was making fun of his little kitten.
Manager Shang and Zhao Feng on the side also breathed a sigh of relief.
At least the atmosphere now is much more harmonious than before.
"Your Majesty is finally in a joking mood."
And Li Xuan didn't care too much about Emperor Yongyuan's jokes, but asked seriously:
"Among all the royal heirs, which one do you like most about the second princess?"
"How talented is she?"
Even though Emperor Yongyuan had previously given Li Xuan a popular science introduction to Daxing's Two Saint Emperors, it also showed that Daxing had a precedent of a female emperor.
But Emperor Yongyuan also said that later men would become emperors and ascend the throne.
What kind of magic power does Princess Lizhao have that is enough to make people break this traditional concept?
"It just so happened that a letter from Lu Zhao was sent back not long ago."
While saying this, Emperor Yongyuan had a helpless and bitter smile on his face.
Emperor Yongyuan stretched out his finger and simply drew a few numbers for Li Xuan.
"Sixteen years old, fourth grade."
Li Xuan stayed where he was, losing the ability to react.
Emperor Yongyuan held his chin and silently appreciated Li Xuan's reaction.
After a long time, Li Xuan stiffly turned his head to look at Manager Shang, and then turned to look at Emperor Yongyuan.
"Yes, Lu Zhao successfully broke through the forbidden area of Qianrenjian Pavilion not long ago and became a fourth-level master like General Manager Zhao."
"Sixteen-year-old princess, fourth level strength."
"With the support of the Wu family, who can compete with them?"
Emperor Yongyuan told the facts calmly.
Emperor Yongyuan could do nothing about his daughter's excellence.
If Princess Luzhao was not born to Empress Wu, Emperor Yongyuan would not know how happy he would be.
It's a pity that there are so many ifs in this world.
Emperor Yongyuan sighed and then said:
"In recent years, Empress Wu has continued to use her and her family's influence to promote Daxing's second empress to ascend the throne."
"I dared to help Ankang become empress. In fact, there are many reasons for this."
"I have to say that Empress Wu went very smoothly and cleared many obstacles on the way to the empress's ascension to the throne."
Li Xuan couldn't help but glance sideways at Emperor Yongyuan, and cursed in his heart:
"I thought you were so generous."
"Emotions are generosity to others. I want Ankang to pick the peaches of Queen Wu and Princess Luzhao."
Emperor Yongyuan had a face as thick as a city wall. When Li Xuan stared at him like this, he just pretended not to see him.
It's just that now is not the time to care about these things. It's really scary to be a sixteen-year-old fourth-grade person.
"Cultivation in your mother's womb is not so intense, right?"
When Li Xuan heard these two numbers, he felt powerless.
It's hard for others to dare to compete with such a monster.
Needless to say, the concubines, princes and princesses in the palace are really able to withstand stress.
Seeing the solemn look on Mao Mao's face, Emperor Yongyuan was afraid of being frightened by Li Xuan and flinched, so he added quietly to the side:
"You asked me just now, what is the significance of the Royal Garden Competition? And why would someone regard health as a threat?"
"Although Empress Wu and the Wu family are powerful, they are not completely sure about promoting the empress to ascend the throne."
"Others will naturally try their best to stop it and gamble on the seemingly illusory possibility."
"Now the competition in the Royal Garden is understood to be my concern. Whoever can make a separate New Year's visit next year will get my support."
"And I started this Royal Garden competition when my second brother was away."
Emperor Yongyuan said and smiled:
"That's enough to make people think."
Li Xuan didn't like it when he saw Emperor Yongyuan holding back his bad feelings.
I guess everything is close to Li Xuan's guess.
Emperor Yongyuan was playing monkey tricks, and others were also played like this.
The prize offered by Emperor Yongyuan was really too tempting.
After all, Emperor Yongyuan is the one sitting on the dragon throne now, and his thoughts are naturally the most important for the vacant crown prince position.
But looking back on these imperial garden games, Li Xuan already understood that Emperor Yongyuan had already begun to secretly manipulate the games.
This can be seen from the prizes they received after winning several games, as well as the subsequent games.
Now that I think about it, the connection between the prize and the next game is almost ridiculously deliberate.
This situation became more and more complicated as Emperor Yongyuan talked about it. Li Xuan had already begun to have a headache, and it was difficult for this guy to worry about this kind of thing every day.
Li Xuan didn't want to listen to his details anymore and asked directly:
"In other words, your current enemy is Queen Wu."
"You don't want Empress Wu to successfully establish Princess Luzhao as empress, are you afraid that the Wu family's power will further expand and threaten the Li family and even the Daxing Dynasty in the future?"
Empress Wu and the Wu family behind her, Li Xuan knew that they would not be small roles.
But when faced with Li Xuan's question, Emperor Yongyuan shook his head:
"There are more pressing matters to deal with than the Queen."
"Um???"
Li Xuan felt bad and wondered how Emperor Yongyuan was still the emperor today.
How many years had passed, Emperor Yongyuan had never been so shameless, let alone in front of a cat.
He felt that he had been embarrassed enough today, and immediately prepared to end today's topic.
As long as they establish a win-win cooperative relationship first, today's task will be considered successfully completed.
As for other things, there will be plenty of time to discuss them in detail later.
"To put it simply, when I came to the throne, I had an uncle who was the regent prince."
"Right now, we need to solve this uncle's problem more than the queen."
"The two managers will communicate with you about the specific details."
"Today, let's focus on celebrating what we have reached."
Emperor Yongyuan said, regardless of whether Li Xuan agreed or not, he pulled one of Li Xuan's cat paws and touched it with his own palm, completing the "high five".
After finally witnessing this crucial scene, the four eunuchs on the side also breathed a sigh of relief.
Li Xuan was speechless and complained silently:
"Isn't this too casual?"
…
"Axuan, you don't even know how worried I was for you just now."
"You must be obedient and behave yourself in front of His Majesty from now on."
"That is to say, there are only a few of us old slaves today. Otherwise, if there are others here, where will your Majesty's face be placed?"
In a side hall of Ganlu Hall, Zhao Feng chattered endlessly.
There were also Manager Shang and Mr. Ye accompanying him, but one of them was smiling and sipping tea, while the other was closing his eyes to rest.
Li Xuan was verbose about Zhao Feng, going in his left ear and out his right ear, yawning and wiping his eyes, lazily.
After Li Xuan and Emperor Yongyuan high-fived each other and made an alliance, Emperor Yongyuan left in a hurry on the pretext of something else, leaving him to the three old eunuchs.
"So, this is it?"
"You haven't told me exactly what to do?"
Li Xuan tapped his tail and wrote in the void, tilting his head with a look of confusion.
He had received so much information today that his little head could hardly turn.
Rather than telling him the intricacies of the current situation, Li Xuan wanted to know what Emperor Yongyuan wanted him to do next?
Of course, Li Xuan didn't want to sacrifice his life for Emperor Yongyuan. If the situation was not right, he could only worry about the safety of their Jingyang Palace first.
But now they are caught in the middle by several waves of forces, like duckweeds in the wind, they can only drift in the wind.
The three little ones don't have the ability to "make the wind" yet, so for the time being they can only rely on Emperor Yongyuan's wind.
"Axuan, your symbolic significance is far greater than your actual significance now."
"So, you should just practice hard next."
"Whenever there is a need for you to come out, Feng'er and I will convey His Majesty's orders as soon as possible."
Manager Shang said gently from the side.
He knew that there were too many things for Li Xuan to accept slowly today, and it would take a few days to digest them.
"correct."
Li Xuan remembered something and turned to look at Mr. Ye.
Ye Laoruo felt something and slowly opened a slit in his eyes.
"Mr. Ye, I have finished practicing those two techniques, and I haven't finished practicing the next ones yet."
Li Xuan has completed the cultivation of the sixth-grade Qi Sensing Realm, and he needs the fifth-grade technique to continue practicing.
But now, there is still some time before their next trip to Qianxing Pavilion. If this window period is only used to consolidate their cultivation, Li Xuan feels a bit wasteful.
It happened that Mr. Ye was here today, so he wanted Mr. Ye to take him to Qianxing Pavilion to choose the appropriate technique.
"Your Majesty called me here today for this very reason."
As Mr. Ye said, a black-covered book of exercises suddenly appeared in his hand, but there were no words on it.
Moreover, the cover of this technique is also somewhat special. There is a special brilliance flowing on it, and the material is obviously unusual.
"I have brought you the fifth-level exercises that are suitable for you. You can read them here and then return them to me."
"I know you have a photographic memory, so read a book."
After finishing speaking, Mr. Ye put the secret book on the table, closed his eyes again, and then uttered another sentence.
"The fifth level is called the Qi Control Realm. This state can be achieved by condensing the true Qi, transforming the Qi Control into form, and exerting it outside the body."
After saying this, Ye Laocai closed his eyes again to rest and said no more.
Manager Shang and Zhao Feng looked at the black secret book on the table with stern eyes.
Obviously they also knew this thing, but they didn't say much, they just watched and waited silently.
Li Xuan didn't waste any time and couldn't wait to open the page of the exercises.
【Yin Yang Zhenji Jue】
Turning to the first page, the name of the exercise was clearly displayed.
"The name of the technique is quite overbearing."
Li Xuan nodded with satisfaction and continued to read.
Although he had the blessing of talent, it still took him a full quarter of an hour to turn to the last page of the technique.
Li Xuan closed his eyes and concentrated, and there was an additional piece of information in his mind.
[Yin Yang Zhenji Jue: 1%]
After successfully recording the exercises, Li Xuan was in a good mood.
"It's a pretty good technique, but why don't you have any moves?"
The content of Yin Yang Zhenji Jue is mainly to absorb the power of the five elements of heaven and earth, nourish the Yin and Yang Zhenqi in the body, and then there are many control methods.
But for the specific moves, Li Xuan looked through the entire secret book and couldn't find a single one.
"This technique only increases attributes and does not provide skills?"
Li Xuan rolled up the technique with his tail and presented it to Mr. Ye.
Ye Lao opened his eyes again and reached out to take the secret book. The next moment, the secret book disappeared.
"Mr. Ye, why does this skill have no moves?"
"Are there any other fifth-grade techniques for my reference?"
Li Xuan also wanted to choose the most suitable one from among the various techniques as before.
As a result, Mr. Ye actually shook his head and said calmly:
"There is only one fifth-level skill with yin and yang attributes."
Li Xuan was stunned for a moment, thinking that he had heard wrongly.
There are so many secret books in Qianxing Pavilion, but there is only one of the fifth-grade exercises with yin and yang attributes?
According to his original idea, Qianxing Pavilion should contain most of Daxing's martial arts.
Are yin and yang attributes really so rare?
At this time, Mr. Ye continued to explain:
"If it weren't for the fact that the Daxing royal family is the descendant of the Twin Saint Emperors, you wouldn't even be able to practice this book."
Mr. Ye glanced at Li Xuan, as if to say that Li Xuan was not blessed despite his blessings.
"This technique was created by the Twin Saint Emperors. After you master it, you can learn all the techniques in the world without any restrictions."
When Mr. Ye said this, he was silent for a moment and then said:
"But you have to figure it out for yourself."
"After all, I have only read the secret books, but have never practiced them."
Manager Shang heard Mr. Ye's regret and took over the topic at the right time.
"Axuan, according to ancient records, every warrior with Yin and Yang Qi has a very different way of promotion."
"It seems that their cultivation is beyond ordinary warriors and extraordinary."
"I heard that every owner of Yin and Yang Qi has walked his own special path."
"The book you just read is a technique passed down by the Twin Saint Emperors. It may be of reference for you at this stage, but I believe that you will also find your own different path in the future."
After listening to Manager Shang's words, Li Xuan also seemed to understand.
It sounds like the owners of Yin and Yang Qi will be very different from ordinary warriors in their future cultivation.
"Going your own way?"
But Li Xuan has long been accustomed to using his talents to continuously advance, and he is suddenly asked to find his own path. He has no clue now.
"do not care!"
"I'm just going to work on my progress now. It won't be too late to think about this again when I don't have the skills to practice anymore."
