Done! Your Majesty is going to prostitute me for free!

"You may not succeed if you work hard, but if you don't work hard..." Lin Xiaofeng kept talking, and Taldali's eyes began to sparkle with expectation and determination.

After Lin Xiaofeng finished speaking, he wiped the corners of his mouth, bowed slightly and said, "Sixth Prince, please forgive me if I made a mistake in my words today."

"I am an outspoken person who can't hide my words. If I offend you, please don't take it personally. If what I say is reasonable and the prince wants to make changes, feel free to ask me if you have any questions in the future. I will accept it. After so many years as a teacher, maybe I can give you some advice.”

After saying this, Lin Xiaofeng left without looking at Taldali. Taldali was the only one left in the pavilion, and he fell into deep contemplation.

In the Qianqing Palace, Emperor Jingjiang handed a memorial to Lin Xiaofeng with a solemn expression, "What did you and Tardali talk about in the past two days? After he returned to the Dali Guesthouse, he stayed behind closed doors. Shuimi If you don’t go in, the people over there will be panicked.”

"Tell me honestly, this is related to the exchanges between the two countries and is not a child's play."

Lin Xiaofeng smiled coquettishly, "It's okay, it's okay, I just said a few words to him."

"What did you say about him?" Emperor Jingjiang was surprised.

Lin Xiaofeng pondered for a moment, "This is a new method I have figured out to promote harmonious coexistence. Don't worry, Your Majesty, it will be fine. Some people just need to be spoken to in order to work hard. The Sixth Prince may not be able to accept it at the moment. "

"What kind of fallacy is this? Who wants to be criticized and still work hard?" Emperor Jingjiang rubbed his forehead, "Forget it, it's just a small person, I don't care. You just have to know what's going on."

"You will set off in two days. When you go to Xixia Kingdom, you must carefully observe Battelle and his officials. I met him once when I was young. At that time, he was still a brave general. I didn't expect that he would be like this now. There are means."

"It has always been difficult to find out information about the upper echelons of Xixia. After you go there, you have to keep your eyes open. This person may become a serious problem for me in Jingjiang in the future."

"What are your plans?"

Lin Xiaofeng had an idea, "If he really becomes a serious problem for us, and I help Your Majesty get rid of him, what reward can Your Majesty give me?"

"Huh? What are you talking about? Are you desperate for your life?" Emperor Jingjiang looked at him suspiciously.

"I mean if, if we can get rid of him..."

Lin Xiaofeng secretly thought, would it be interesting if he presented the evil thing in the medical clinic to him?
"If you can get rid of him, I will make you king and you will have whatever you want." Emperor Jingjiang shook his head and laughed, "You are really whimsical. However, safety first, don't do stupid things."

"Then can I marry more wives?" Lin Xiaofeng muttered.

"what are you saying?"

"Nothing, Your Majesty."

Wang Jingwen next to him looked at him in shock.

Lin Xiaofeng secretly wondered whether the jade in the medical center had nuclear radiation or whether the Xixia people would wear it. It was not clear yet, so he did not dare to confirm it. If you talk too much, it will be embarrassing if things don't get done. Let's talk about it when we get there. If Battle knows the current affairs and really wants peace and trade, then he won't be sent away.

"Well, you go back and get ready. Taldali still needs to be appeased. If you make good friends with him, it might be useful when you get to Xixia. In short, it won't do any harm."

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I will take my leave now."

Lin Xiaofeng left the Qianqing Palace and met Li Dexian head-on.

"Where has His Highness been recently?" Lin Xiaofeng asked casually.

"Where to go? I have been in the East Palace all the time. The boiling water station is laying the track for me. I heard that you entered the palace, so I came to find you. You are going to set off in two days. I want to ask how you are preparing. That’s it.”

"Well, everything is ready. Thank you for your concern, Your Highness."

Li Dexian sighed: "This trip will take a long time. It's really boring for me to stay in the capital alone. It would be great if I could go with you. I will go to the city gate to see you off on the day you set off."

"By the way, have you read the newspaper recently?"

"Look, what's wrong? Many of the contents were decided by me."

Li Dexian touched his chin and showed a honeyed smile: "So that's it. I asked you why the newspaper has written so many things about me recently. How smart and hard-working I am, and you want to give me a biography?"

"Your Highness is right, I have this intention!" Lin Xiaofeng smiled, but he had another plan in mind.

What kind of biography are you establishing? Dali Guesthouse delivers newspapers every day, and Beilang Daily is the one Tardali requested! He reads it every day, and these compliments are naturally meant for him.

Brother Li, Tardali gave me a little help. When you send me out of the city the day after tomorrow, we can put on a show in front of Tardali. Li Dexian's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he asked curiously: "Oh? What show?"

Lin Xiaofeng leaned close to his ear and quietly revealed the plan. "If Tardali is here, you will do as I say..."

·······································
After explaining the matter, Lin Xiaofeng left the palace. Taldali has not appeared for two days, but Lin Xiaofeng knows his movements clearly. After all, he has been in contact with Dali Temple for a long time. This is good news, Taldali seems to understand what he means.

Lin Xiaofeng could see through the thoughts of such a villain. It is even more difficult to be fooled when you encounter someone who has a strong personality, is stubborn, or wants revenge. But now he had more important things to do.

He planned to go to Xixia Kingdom and wanted to ask Fu Lingzhi if he would like to go with him. If she doesn't want to go, it would be best if she wants to go with Fu Jiayi and the delegation to experience the hardships of the journey. Even if they don’t change their original intentions, it’s good to understand the actual situation.

Lin Xiaofeng knew that Fu Lingzhi wanted to draw a clear line with him, but he also knew that he had ruined the reputation of the Fu sisters and made it difficult for them to return home. Although it was caused by the stupidity of the eldest son of the Fu family, the facts cannot be changed.

He rode straight to Fu's house. The Fu sisters were not at home, but the doorman knew him and did not dare to neglect him, so he hurriedly welcomed him in. After waiting for about half an hour, Fu Lingzhi and Fu Jiayi came back, carrying large and small bags in their hands and looking very tired.

"Brother Lin, he's here!" Fu Jiayi said in surprise. When Fu Lingzhi saw Lin Xiaofeng drinking tea leisurely, he quickly put down his things and stepped forward to salute. "Master Lin is here to visit. Do you have any advice?"

Lin Xiaofeng put down the teacup and said, "I don't want to take my advice seriously. I just came to see you. Where did you go just now?" Fu Lingzhi thanked him for his concern and explained, "I went to buy some household items with Jiayi."

Lin Xiaofeng glanced at the package next to him, revealing a corner of fur, and asked: "Household items? These seem to be leather goods." After being exposed, Fu Lingzhi nodded awkwardly.

Fu Jiayi interrupted: "My sister bought leather goods because she wanted to compare the leathers on the market." Lin Xiaofeng sighed: "Do you still want to go to the border town? This business is not easy to do, especially for girls."

Fu Lingzhi nodded silently and sat on the chair. "There are indeed many difficulties, but Mr. Lin, I don't agree with one thing. Women can do things that men can do."

Lin Xiaofeng smiled bitterly and said: "You are right. I don't want to persuade you anymore. Have you heard about the Xixia delegation coming to Kyoto?"

"heard."

"The Xixia envoy will return the day after tomorrow. The imperial court has decided to send another envoy to visit and renegotiate trade between the two countries." "Since you want to do business with Xixia, why not come with me. First, it is safe, and second, we can wait for the outcome of the negotiation. After you come out, you can get the news immediately and there will be unexpected business opportunities. You don’t have to be in the fur business.”

Fu Lingzhi looked embarrassed and said: "Mr. Lin, I..." Lin Xiaofeng raised her hand to interrupt her: "Don't refuse in a hurry. I have prepared your luggage. You don't need to bring anything. Just bring a few sets of clothes. You will go with you. There are also other officials in Jingjiang, so there is no need to worry about their safety." "Thank you, Mr. Lin. I am very grateful." Fu Lingzhi stood up and saluted Lin Xiaofeng solemnly.

I thought it would take a while, but I didn't expect them to agree so quickly. Lin Xiaofeng said unexpectedly: "Don't be so serious, just agree. Then pack your clothes quickly and leave the day after tomorrow."

"I still have something to do, so I won't stay any longer." After saying that, Lin Xiaofeng hurriedly left Fu's house. Although he really wanted to have a few drinks with the Fu sisters, business was more important. Before leaving, he had to go to the county, Jinyiwei and Beilang University to make arrangements. Seeing that Lin Xiaofeng had really left, Fu Jiayi approached and asked, "Sister, why did you agree to him? Haven't you always wanted to owe him a favor?"

"So what if I don't agree? He has been kind and helped us time and time again. If he doesn't appreciate it, he seems to be ignorant." "It's really unsafe to travel all the way. You insist on running with me. What if something happens?"

"I can feel more at ease when I follow the mission to the Xixia Kingdom. We will have experience next time." Fu Jiayi said tangledly: "But how can we repay the favor we owe? How can we repay him?" Fu Lingzhi said She sighed faintly: "Take your time, if it doesn't work out, just go and be a maid. I think you are happier to see Lin Xiaofeng than to see me." Speaking of the maid, Fu Jiayi suddenly remembered that she had just arrived at the academy. At that time, she was mistaken for Lin Xiaofeng's maid on the first day. "Nonsense!" Fu Jiayi lowered her head shyly, "We finally have a guest at home, how can I have a sad face?" "If you want to be a maid, you have to do it. You are a sister, how can you let your sister pay off your debts?" Woolen cloth?"

"Humph, he is the consort, and he is not from the same family as us. I want to be a maid, but I am afraid that others will not accept her." Fu Lingzhi laughed at herself. As if she was not even qualified to be a maid, Fu Jiayi's eyes flashed with loneliness, "Sister, let's go home, why do we have to do business outside? We have everything at home, and we can live as we like in Gefeng Bay. "

"Go home? How can we go home? What will others think of us? Are you willing to live with the infamy?" Fu Lingzhi frowned and said, "I have always been taking care of the family business, but dad insisted on taking over. Let the eldest brother inherit the family business.”

"Forget it, I gave it back to him. As he wished, I don't want anything anymore, isn't that okay? Now we have no choice but to be independent and self-reliant!"

"There is no better place in the world to do business than Kyoto. Don't think too much about it. When you make money in the future, I will find a good family for you to marry, so that you don't have to pester me all day long."

"You think I'm annoying, don't you? If you want to marry, you can marry yourself!" Fu Jiayi stamped her feet and ran into the house angrily, "Damn girl, come back here! Things haven't been packed yet!" Fu Jiayi watched Fu Jiayi disappear. From behind, Fu Lingzhi began to pack things silently with a hint of anger.

Time flies, and the two days fly by like meteors streaking across the night sky.

When the city gate slowly opened in the morning light, a neat motorcade was ready to go. The sisters of the Fu family came here early like flowers blooming in spring, while the female relatives were like gentle lake water, sitting quietly in the car waiting for the time to set off. Tardali's face was full of uneasiness, his face was pale, and his whole body looked like fallen leaves blown by the autumn wind, looking a little decadent.

Lin Xiaofeng's scoldings from the past few days still seemed to be echoing in Taldali's ears, making him feel on pins and needles. Shame, loss, sadness...these emotions were like a mess, entangled in his heart. However, after thinking calmly, he began to miss Lin Xiaofeng's outspokenness. Perhaps, National Master Wu Rige’s deep scheming mind caused him to misunderstand Lin Xiaofeng’s true intentions. If it weren't for Lin Xiaofeng's forthrightness, how could he directly scold him? This seems a bit illogical, but after thinking about it, this is the only explanation that makes sense.

At this moment, Lin Xiaofeng was chatting and laughing with others. Taldali wanted to walk over and talk to him several times, but he didn't know what to say. He hesitated for a while and finally decided to give up.

Hong Cheng was like a patient teacher, introducing Xixia etiquette to Lin Xiaofeng in detail over and over again. Lin Xiaofeng also listened carefully like an open-minded student. This is his first time out of the country, so he must be careful, because any rash move may put him in an irreversible situation.

Just as the two were chatting happily, a group of people walked out of the city gate. The leader was a handsome man riding a tall horse. He was very imposing and dressed in rich clothes. The honor guard also looked extremely luxurious. He raised his hand and shouted "Old Lin!", his voice was loud and contagious.

It turns out that the prince has arrived! The officials saluted him one after another. When Taldali saw this scene, he was eager to step forward, but was startled when Lin Xiaofeng suddenly grabbed his wrist. "Follow me." Lin Xiaofeng said, pulling Taldali to Li Dexian and introducing him: "His Royal Highness, it's been a long time since I last saw you! This is Taldali, the sixth prince of Xixia Kingdom."

Li Dexian looked Tardali up and down and said: "The Sixth Prince has really admired his name for a long time! It is indeed well-deserved when we meet him today! I'm glad to meet you!" Tardali also politely returned the greeting: "Your Highness, thank you for your praise." However, But he felt a sense of inferiority and frustration welling up in his heart; seeing Li Dexian's high-spirited and confident look, and looking at his own decadent look, it really pales in comparison! He felt that Lin Xiaofeng was such an amazing person that he could train Li Dexian to be so good! He was even more envious when he saw that Li Dexian and Lin Xiaofeng had such a close relationship!

Lin Xiaofeng smiled and joked: "Your Highness, why are you here so late today? We are about to leave!" Li Dexian complained: "My father has given me too many important tasks! I reviewed the memorial until late last night and today I He called me to give me a lesson. "Oh, my father really values ​​me too much. This is also a burden, haha!" Watching Li Dexian and Lin Xiaofeng singing together, Taldali was full of envy; he also saw it in the newspaper recently. There are reports on the achievements of His Highness the Crown Prince, but no one cares about him; he finally received a task but it was a job that was despised by others; the status of the Prince of Jingjiang is really coveted! If I could get Lin Xiaofeng's guidance, maybe I could make the decision myself!

Li Dexian secretly glanced at Taldali, who was standing next to him and was still chattering. After he finished speaking, he took Lin Xiaofeng to a secluded place and said, "Old Lin, you see that this man's body seems to be very weak, and his eyes are... Ye Wuguang must be indulging in wine and sex, right?"

"What are you going to do? Do you have any plans for the next step?" Lin Xiaofeng looked around to make sure there was no one before whispering: "Your Highness, please leave him alone. I have my own way to train this person to be docile; living in a foreign country. It's always good to have more options in unfamiliar places!" Li Dexian looked at him doubtfully and said, "Of course I don't care what your plans are, but I think you are a little weak today, haha!" Lin Xiaofeng smiled bitterly and shook his head. As a group of wives and concubines, it is inevitable to have some tenderness before leaving. But after not sleeping all night, I feel really weak now! He forced a smile and said: "Your Highness, are you overthinking it? The affairs of Beiling University are very important and I hope Your Highness will supervise them more! Jin Yiwei also needs His Highness's care, haha!" Li Dexian solemnly agreed and then sighed. Said: "I feel really uneasy when you leave this time!"

"Why do you say that?" Lin Xiaofeng asked; "Because every time you go out, you will cause big trouble, haha!" Li Dexian said frankly; "I feel that your departure this time will not be too smooth, haha!" Lin Xiaofeng listened. Then I thought to myself: "It's true, haha! Last time I went to the King of Han River, I went through all kinds of hardships before coming back!" It seems that this time I will inevitably encounter difficulties and dangers! Li Dexian shook his head and said: "I hope everything goes well for you, haha! Come back early and take care of yourself!"

"Your Highness, please take care of yourself, haha!" Lin Xiaofeng said goodbye and then slowly moved forward with the convoy; he and Tardali rode side by side and Tardali remained silent during the journey; so Lin Xiaofeng took the initiative to talk to him. "Sixth Prince, I haven't seen you for several days, are you still angry with me?" Taldali thought for a while before replying: "Mr. Lin, you misunderstood; after I went back, I reflected on it for several days and felt that you said What you said makes sense, haha!" Hearing this, Lin Xiaofeng turned to look at him and praised: "Sixth Prince, it is very good that you can start to reflect on yourself, but you must remember that being motivated and being able to reflect are the prerequisites for becoming a strong person. Haha!" After listening to this, Taldali suddenly realized that I am already better than 90% of people? I'm so good, haha! Lin Xiaofeng continued: "But if you want to become a truly strong person, you still need to put in more effort and sweat and master certain skills and shortcuts!" Taldali was very excited after hearing this. He clasped his fists and said, "Please give me some advice, Mr. Lin." Ah ha ha!"

Lin Xiaofeng smiled and said: "Sixth Prince, you are really smart, haha. Since you asked this question, I will tell you briefly, haha!"

"Then I dare to ask the Sixth Prince, what do you usually do for fun?" Lin Xiaofeng suddenly changed the topic and asked.

When Taldali heard Lin Xiaofeng's words, his expression suddenly changed, as if he suspected that he had heard wrongly. "What did you say?" he asked in shock.

Even though Lin Xiaofeng had the free and easy attitude of a charlatan, the fact that he called Taldali by his first name still startled the son of a noble family.

"It's what you Buddhists talk about. We literati can call it 'self-release'." Lin Xiaofeng further explained with a calm face, "There's nothing to be embarrassed about. I'm helping you, so there's no problem in saying it directly!"

Taldali blushed and whispered, "Ah, I've done that seven or eight times this month."

"Seven or eight times? That's too few," Lin Xiaofeng said calmly, as if talking about today's weather, "I do that at least twice a day, once when I get up in the morning, and again after exercising at noon."

He continued: "I have to deal with so many official duties every day, and there are a lot of difficult problems to solve, which makes me very stressed. So releasing it a few times will make the blood circulation smoother and help relieve stress."

Taldali was dumbfounded.

"Brother Lin, there should be many women around you, right?" Taldali asked tentatively.

"It's a lot, but it saves trouble and time." Lin Xiaofeng said with a smile.

He continued eloquently: "Successful people do this. Let me tell you, many people in the court do this. If you don't do this, your mentality will easily be unbalanced, and you may fail if you are not careful. You have to know that in political struggles, impulse But it’s a taboo.”

"So, we must develop a good habit of releasing at any time, and when releasing, we must also think about successful strategies."

When Taldali heard this strange talk, he was so shocked that his views collapsed. He stammered and asked: "Brother Lin, are you kidding me?"

Lin Xiaofeng smiled slightly: "This is my unique education method. Others only tell you to be strong, exercise your will, and endure hardships, but no one tells you what the essence of these qualities is. To learn, you must see the essence through the phenomenon, so that you can Rapid progress."

"Think about it, if you were to build a big house but didn't even know where the foundation was, wouldn't it be a joke?"

This sounds quite reasonable.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah." Taldali listened with interest and nodded like a primary school student.

Lin Xiaofeng said sincerely: "Our joys, sorrows, and joys are all based on the body. Those who are knowledgeable and moral will lose their temper when they are drunk; the bravest people cannot bear the severe pain; no matter how energetic they are, People cannot live without sleep. Therefore, human will is based on the body, right? "

Taldali took a deep breath and felt suddenly enlightened.

"So, should I do that twice a day?" Taldali asked curiously.

"No, no, no!" Lin Xiaofeng waved his hands quickly, "I can do this, but you can't. Because I have succeeded and need to adjust in this way. But you haven't succeeded yet, so what you need to do is control yourself!"

"Control yourself?" Taldali asked doubtfully.

"Yes! And you not only have to control yourself, but also avoid the disaster of beauty. You need to accumulate strength! Accumulate your inner fire and motivation, and continue to increase the pressure. Then this pressure will make you transform into a brand new self!" Lin Xiaofeng explain.

"Ah! That's it!" Taldali shouted in sudden realization. It turns out that the number of times is not too few but too many!

Lin Xiaofeng stretched out his hand and motioned for Taldali to stretch out his hand to feel his pulse. Taldali obediently stretched out his hand, and Lin Xiaofeng held his hand, feeling his pulse with a pretense of deepness, and said seriously: "You are only twenty years old, but you have the pulse of a sixty-year-old man. This is overindulgence." It's a sign of premature aging!" Then he asked, "Do you often cough and spit in the morning?" Taldali's face changed drastically, and he asked with a trembling voice: "Can you feel these?" In fact, Lin Xiaofeng had known all this for a long time. He did not really know it by taking his pulse, but he pretended to smile mysteriously and said: "I have seen this kind of situation many times. I think His Highness the Crown Prince's situation was even more serious than yours back then. If he continues like this, he will probably have a big problem. But fortunately, I showed up in time and saved his life!" Upon hearing this, a glimmer of hope flashed in Taldali's eyes, and he asked, "What should I do? Is there hope?" Lin Xiaofeng nodded affirmatively and said, "Of course there is hope! If I am willing to give you some advice, why would I tell you so much?" Asked: "Moreover, the treatment has already started. What we are doing now is talk therapy, or talk therapy for short."

Taldali excitedly held Lin Xiaofeng's hand and said: "Brother Lin, please continue to give me therapy!" Lin Xiaofeng waved his hand and said: "Sixth Prince, you are too polite. I have already taught you what I should teach you. Now, you have to explore the road ahead on your own." Hearing this, Taldali asked a little discouraged: "Is it enough to simply control yourself? You can't teach me the rest in person. "Lin Xiaofeng explained: "The following content is an advanced course and requires additional payment."

Taldali murmured: "Advanced course?" There was an itch in his heart, as if a certain nerve had been touched. So he begged: "Brother Lin, you have to teach me no matter what. Whether you want gold, silver or beautiful women, as long as I return to Xixia, I can give it to you." However, Lin Xiaofeng sighed: "Sixth Prince, you don't have to do this You should have read "Journey to the West", right? The scriptures cannot be passed on lightly, nor can they be obtained empty-handed. But this time the problem is not with you, but with me." He paused and continued. This unique education method has achieved great success with the prince, so your majesty specially ordered me to introduce this method to the court, and repeatedly warned that this method cannot be taught to non-disciples from me without your majesty's imperial approval. From a certain point of view, of course you are a very good student, but I have an imperial mandate and I dare not violate it!”

Hearing this, Taldali felt disappointed. But in the blink of an eye, he became excited again, because Lin Xiaofeng continued: "Of course there is no improvement at all. I have taught you the basic methods, and you can explore on your own. If you encounter difficulties and setbacks in the process of self-study, I I can give you some pointers and suggestions, so it won’t be considered a violation. However, detours are inevitable. “The basic method is actually very simple, just control yourself, which everyone knows. But the rest of the content is all up to you to explore and understand. Thinking of this, a huge sense of loss surged into Taldali's heart. But he soon became excited again, because Lin Xiaofeng said that only by becoming his disciple could he learn the advanced courses. Then, as long as you become Lin Xiaofeng's disciple, there is hope!

So he suddenly grabbed the horse's reins and turned over to dismount. Lin Xiaofeng was also ready, and the two dismounted almost at the same time. Taldali bent down to become a disciple, but was held back by Lin Xiaofeng's big hands. Lin Xiaofeng said with concern: "Sixth Prince, what are you doing? This is in public!" But Taldali said firmly: "Tardali is willing to accept Brother Lin as his teacher!" After saying this, he still thought Kneel down and salute.

Lin Xiaofeng looked around and felt someone was spying on them. He suddenly lifted Tal'dari, as if to show his strength. He looked around, worried that there were spies around him, so he moved very cautiously. He lowered his voice and said to Taldali: "Sixth Prince, is your brain like a watt? In front of so many people, you actually want to become my teacher. If you return to Xixia, how will others laugh at you? It’s good for you to work hard, but you also have to take care of your reputation and dignity!”

Taldali's hands were trembling, there were tears in his eyes, and he looked excited: "Mr. Lin, you are right. I had been dawdling before, and your words suddenly made me sober." "Tardali I am truly grateful to you and treat you as a good friend. I don’t want to hang around anymore. I want to become my teacher and learn my true skills from you!”

Lin Xiaofeng sighed: "You don't have to be like this. You were born into a noble family. Isn't it easy to be rich? Everyone is motivated, but this road is difficult to walk. You don't have to work so hard. Enjoying life is also a kind of happiness. ”

Taldali stared at Lin Xiaofeng closely and said, "Enjoy life? What is the difference between that and animals in captivity? Mr. Lin, tell me the truth. Do you not want to teach me, or do you look down on me?"

The two people's eyes met, and Lin Xiaofeng's eyes became moist. He said softly: "When the emperor asked me to go to the county to be an official, I was afraid of the hard life there, so I found an excuse not to go. My father said to me: 'Do you want to be famous for a while, or do you want to be a coward for the rest of your life?' Although timid, I still have the courage to do so. With my father’s encouragement, I chose the former, and that’s why I became who I am now.” “Sixth Prince, your words reminded me of my original determination. I really underestimated you before. "Your ambition and self-reflection make you better than 90% of people. Now that you have the courage to make such a choice, you are the best among the remaining 10%!" "

Taldali was extremely excited: "Great! I also want to be as famous as Mr. Lin for a while. I wonder if Mr. Lin is willing to give me this opportunity?"

Lin Xiaofeng wiped her tears and nodded heavily: "I can see clearly now that you are like gold in a gold mine, pearls on the beach, and gems in the mountains. You are a person with real potential. How can I refuse anymore?" And you?"

After hearing this, Taldali's blood boiled and he was about to become a disciple. But Lin Xiaofeng stopped him in time: "It's okay to become a disciple, but there are people from Jingjiang in our team. We can't let others know that I have accepted a foreign apprentice. Otherwise, the emperor will have objections to me. But for you, a good young man, I will risk this." It’s worth the risk, after all.”

"The red tape of becoming a master will be dispensed with. From now on, you can call me master when no one is around. At other times, you can call me as usual." "Yes! Master!" Taldali said with satisfaction.

"Get on the horse and talk again, don't let anyone see it." The two got on the horse and continued moving forward. Taldali asked happily: "Master, can you teach me my real skills now?"

Lin Xiaofeng smiled and said: "Haha, since you have called me master, of course I will not hide it from you anymore. Okay! I will tell you the content of the secret book, but it must be kept secret and cannot be told, otherwise there will be retribution! "I will definitely keep Master's words in mind."

Lin Xiaofeng thought for a while, and then started to say: "Do you know which battalion of soldiers in the capital military camp is the most powerful?" Taldali thought for a while and said, "I heard it is Fenwu Camp." "Yes, but that is It happened in the past. The most powerful army in the capital now is not any battalion in the capital, but the Jinyiwei led by me!" Lin Xiaofeng said proudly.

"Although the Jinyiwei were established not long ago, they have the strongest combat effectiveness, strict discipline, and bravery. Their secret is my simplified entry-level secret book." Taldali swallowed and was very surprised. In the past few days in Kyoto, he had heard the name of Jinyiwei countless times. Not only were they popular with the people, but they were also very powerful in combat. It makes sense if you think about it carefully. After all, the Jin Yiwei is also responsible for protecting the palace, so it is natural that they have strong combat effectiveness.

"Master, please teach me." Taldali said respectfully. Lin Xiaofeng began to teach secrets: "The key to military training actually lies in the word 'rules'. I compiled a new set of military regulations based on my life's knowledge, called "The Twenty-Two Military Regulations of the Jinyiwei". This set of military regulations It is only circulated within Jinyiwei that a few months of learning will allow them to grow into the strongest warriors, and even the Fenwu Camp will not be their opponent." Lin Xiaofeng then described the content of the twenty-two catch-all rules in detail. , and warned Tardali to remember and put it into practice. Taldali listened with great interest, and he benefited a lot from every military regulation. This is indeed a secret! It sounds exciting! After all the twenty-two military regulations were explained, Lin Xiaofeng continued: "Although this set of military regulations was formulated for military training, it originated from my education method for the prince. It is perfect for you. You must keep these contents in mind and integrate them into your daily life.” In addition to these twenty-two rules, Lin Xiaofeng also provided Tardali with a personalized training program. When Taldali heard about the unique martial arts skill of "perfect round Tai Chi", he was ecstatic. He couldn't wait to ask: "When will master teach me?" Lin Xiaofeng sighed and said: "You see you are impatient again. No matter how good you are, you can't achieve it overnight. Just like reading a novel, read one or two chapters every day You may think it’s nothing interesting, but if you keep reading it every day, you will gain a lot over time.” “The same is true for practicing Tai Chi, but it also requires long-term training in conjunction with other exercise methods. It works. The premise of all this is that you have a good foundation. Your current physical fitness is too bad. "I ask you, how much meat do you eat every day?" Tardali thought for a while and replied: "About pure meat." Half a catty?" "Half a catty? That's too little! No wonder you are so weak. My hero Xie Hongxin mainly eats meat as snacks and drinks eggs as food! Eat according to the recipe every day and practice Tai Chi. I guarantee that within half a month, your body will undergo magical changes." Hearing this, Taldali was happy for a moment, and then suddenly changed his expression: "Wait a minute, are you talking about Xie Hongxin? Is he here too?" Lin Xiaofeng felt that the situation was a bit delicate and hurriedly asked Taldali: "Where is Xie Hongxin?"

Taldali replied with worry: "Is the Xie Hongxin you are talking about the general who defeated Buhasihe in the capital and cut off one of his ears? After Buhasihe returned to the capital, he was killed by his father. He was embarrassed in front of him and was scolded by his father. It was extremely embarrassing. "

"After that, the resentment in Buhasihe's heart could not be eliminated, and he took it out on his soldiers and killed several of them. This matter was found out by his father, and he was demoted two levels in a row. From then on, he borrowed money all day long. After drinking to relieve his sorrow, he often got angry and cursed, and his personality changed drastically. My father was also quite dissatisfied with this, and he also had a deep prejudice against Xie Hongxin. "

Speaking of this, Tardali showed deep worry on his face: "If Xie Hongxin meets Buhashe in Xixia, I am really worried that something will happen."

Lin Xiaofeng's heart tightened after hearing this, "Huh? Is there such a thing? I didn't pay much attention to it. Just wait a moment, I will go to Xie Hongxin to remind him, so as to avoid conflicts between him and Buhasihe."

After saying that, Lin Xiaofeng pulled the reins of his horse and walked quickly to the front of the team.

Xie Hongxin and Luo Huajun were both at the front of the team, and they seemed to be arguing about something. Lin Xiaofeng listened closely and was stunned.

Luo Huajun's face turned red and he shouted in a low voice: "I'm going to use the 'step forward' move, which will shock Baili. How can you resist?"

Xie Hongxin was not to be outdone: "I'll do the 'hugging knees and holding back' step, playing jade and flute!"

"Hey, what's the trick of 'playing the flute with jade'?" Luo Huajun looked confused.

"Attack his lower body with your knee, and you'll kill him with one hit!" Xie Hongxin explained expressionlessly.

Luo Huajun's eyes widened: "Are you crazy?"

"Do you dare to compare with me?" Xie Hongxin asked provocatively.

"Go away!" Luo Huajun turned away.

Seeing that the two of them were about to start a fight, Lin Xiaofeng hurriedly stepped forward to stop him: "You two, stop it! You are about to go abroad, do you still want to cause trouble for me?"

Luo Huajun glanced at Xie Hongxin with disdain and thought to himself, this guy looks strong, but his fighting moves are getting more and more dirty. I will not associate with such a person.

Xie Hongxin asked innocently: "Master, what's the matter?"

"Well, I have something to tell you." Lin Xiaofeng looked at him seriously, "Do you remember Buhashe? Taldali told me that he has a grudge against you. You may meet when you get to Xixia Kingdom, You have to be careful."

After hearing this, Xie Hongxin sneered: "I have long wanted to fight him again. I was prepared when he came, not to mention that his current strength is not as good as mine, and he is also missing an ear."

Luo Huajun mocked: "Yes, you can also 'make jade and play the flute'. This time you can directly castrate Buhasi with your knees."

"I can castrate, but only a little bit." Xie Hongxin responded expressionlessly.

"Idiot!" Luo Huajun cursed angrily when he saw that the taunting was unsuccessful, and looked away.

Lin Xiaofeng sighed helplessly: "Okay, okay, you two should calm down for a while. In a foreign country, please be careful. After all, it is his territory."

He paused and continued: "There is one more thing I want to tell you. The sixth prince Taldali has become my disciple. He may bring us a lot of convenience when he arrives in Xixia Kingdom. You two must keep this secret. Something. I will teach him the newly compiled Catch-22 of Jinyiwei, and I will also tell you two about it. If you can't remember it, find an excuse to frustrate him. "

"If he asks questions about something strange that I or you heard, Xie Hongxin, just say you don't know. Luo Huajun, you adapt accordingly."

Luo Huajun asked curiously: "Huh? Sir, why did the sixth prince worship you as his disciple? Did you fool him? How did you do it?"

Lin Xiaofeng snorted: "I deceived him? The most important thing in my life is sincerity! If you want to convince others, you must not rely on deception!"

"This is the unchanging truth," he added.

Luo Huajun chuckled and said: "Sincerity? I don't believe it is that simple. Master, please tell us."

Seeing Xie Hongxin looking at him curiously, Lin Xiaofeng said proudly: "Okay, I'll give you a brief explanation. It's actually not difficult. Every man has a weakness. As long as you grasp his weakness, you can't let him go." Got it?"

"Eh? Is this sixth prince taking his wife and children with him when he goes out? Why didn't I see him?" Luo Huajun looked around.

"Humph, we have been cleansed now. Have you forgotten the days when you were thieves in the past? Men all long for love in their hearts, especially an unsuccessful royal child like Taldali. As long as you give a little encouragement and Be supportive and they will listen to you.”

Luo Huajun nodded with deep sympathy and said, "Yes, sir, you are so smart. But what if he reacts midway?"

"You're right. So I have other arrangements." Lin Xiaofeng explained, "I told him that he can succeed as long as he learns from me. So starting from today, you are responsible for teaching him martial arts and physical exercise methods, and let him get there as soon as possible. He saw miraculous results."

"Xie Hongxin is responsible for his daily fitness and diet arrangements. You will explain and practice it to him starting from exercising each muscle. Luo Huajun, you are responsible for teaching him the Round Body Tai Chi method, and strive to see the results within three days."

"What is round-shaped Tai Chi? Is there any other boxing technique that can see results within three days? Three years is about the same." Luo Huajun asked blankly.

Lin Xiaofeng waved his hand and said: "Oh, you can just make up a set of boxing techniques and teach him casually. Or you can teach him a less popular boxing technique that is not easy to be discovered by others."

After saying this, he took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms: "Did any of you bring this medicine? Mix a little into it when he eats, and then let him practice boxing. Wouldn't it be effective in one day?"

"I have it." Xie Hongxin took out the same porcelain bottle from his coat, "But this thing is of little use and I haven't replaced it. The doctor told me that it can only be kept for one year and it should have expired by now."

"If it's expired, put more in it!" Lin Xiaofeng ordered. After a brief explanation, he brought Xie Hongxin and Luo Huajun to Tardali and introduced solemnly: "Sixth Prince, these two are my two powerful generals and the elites of the Imperial Guard - Xie Hongxin and Luo Huajun. . Starting from today, they will be responsible for your physical training. As long as the foundation is laid, your energy and spirit will naturally improve."

"They will arrange a training plan for you. You can't slack off for a day! As long as you can't practice to death, practice to death!" Lin Xiaofeng said sternly.

Taldali took a deep look at Xie Hongxin, then came back to his senses and nodded vigorously and said: "Yes! Thank you Master Lin for your cultivation. I will definitely train hard without any slack!"

This young man, Taldali, has been tortured by the devil's training! Back then, his teacher was still Xie Hongxin, a rigorous and serious martial arts master. Taldali was listening intently at that time, for fear of missing a word.

Even though he looks smart, he is a well-known figure in Xixia. He defeated Buhasihe and became famous far and wide. So, he didn't dare to be careless at all. As soon as the class started, he realized that it was not easy! Ordinary people practice martial arts, which is nothing more than practicing strength, swords, guns and sticks, etc. Where do all these theories come from. But Xie Hongxin is different. He will first tell you a set of muscle theory, explain it clearly, and then put it into practice. In Tardali's mind, the structure of the human body was as clear as a painting.

I heard that Xie Hongxin obtained this method by dissecting heavy-duty prisoners. Tardali admired Xie Hongxin so much that he fell into admiration! This is the true understanding of the essence, and the teacher really teaches everything he has to offer! Although the method is quite novel, Xie Hongxin's training is extremely strict, and his status as a prince is not easy to apply here. Although Taldali complained a lot, he still finished the training bravely.

After training, he had to eat a lot of meat to replenish his physical strength. He almost rolled his eyes after eating before Xie Hongxin was willing to give up. After eating, take a break and drink Xie Hongxin's special medicinal soup. Although the taste is a bit strong, it is indeed a great tonic. Then, he and Luo Huajun practiced round-shaped Tai Chi together. Every time he practices at this point, Taldali can feel an "air flow" moving in his body.

As you practice, you will become as stiff as wood! Luo Huajun explained that this is the so-called Little Zhoutian Movement. When the skill is not yet at a fever pitch, the Yang Qi will easily wander around, but it will stabilize when the skill is developed. Although Taldali felt a little embarrassed, he was still happy because his magical skills were making rapid progress and he was more convinced of Lin Xiaofeng.

As for Lin Xiaofeng, he was very carefree, eating, drinking and having fun every day. He often passed the time chatting with Shiguan and those stunning beauties, and gave Taldali some advice when he had time. What he teaches are all inspirational words and words that make people's blood boil. After class, he would also teach Tardali some strange knowledge such as Six Sigma, ISO quality management, Moore's Law, Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory, etc. Although he was extremely eloquent, Taldali actually didn't understand much.

Lin Xiaofeng would say this every time after class: "It doesn't matter if you don't understand this knowledge now. You will understand it gradually after more experience." Although Tardali was very excited during class, he actually learned little. It's probably just that he admires Lin Xiaofeng more and more.

Time flies so fast. In the blink of an eye, they will arrive at Sarlang City. The journey is really far and long. In the carriage, Lin Xiaofeng starts teaching Taldali again as usual. This apprentice always does it. I listened with great interest; I saw Taldali sitting opposite with a very serious face, and his eyes were a little red. It looked like the result of eating a lot of meat and going through crazy training. He has become more serious now. As he became stronger, he felt unbearably hot every day, as if he wanted to find someone to fight at any time; Lin Xiaofeng became cautious when he spoke, fearing that he would be beaten up by Taldali, which would be embarrassing; seeing him training He was so crazy that Lin Xiaofeng felt that he might not be able to defeat him; "Where did I talk last time?" Lin Xiaofeng asked tentatively; "You talked about management." Taldali replied; "Okay! Then You should remember this sentence today. There is no essential difference between managing a large country or a small store. As a manager, his mission is to pursue profits and market growth." Lin Xiaofeng began to ramble again! Jedi started talking, but Taldali showed a painful expression. He shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, teacher, I still don't understand." Lin Xiaofeng sighed and said, "It doesn't matter because you haven't reached my level yet. , as long as you can understand something every day, you will gradually get closer to your vision!"

Taldali felt so ashamed that his head almost dropped to his chest. Lin Xiaofeng saw this and quickly comforted him: "Apprentice, don't worry, as long as you keep your mind right, success will definitely belong to you." After hearing this, Taldali suddenly raised his head, raised his chest and said, "Yes! Teacher!" Lin Xiaofeng nodded with satisfaction, secretly praising the apprentice's tenacity and determination.

"Are we almost arriving at Sarlang City?" Taldali opened the curtain and looked out eagerly. "Yes, we can arrive in less than a day." Lin Xiaofeng replied. Taldali listened, a trace of anticipation and nervousness flashed in his eyes. He is about to return to his hometown and see long-lost relatives and friends, but at the same time he will also face unknown challenges and opportunities.

Lin Xiaofeng saw his thoughts and said earnestly: "Apprentice, you have to remember that you have to win at least once in your life. As long as you win the first time, you will want to win the second time, and then the third time, and the third time. Four times…endless. Winning is actually a habit, not a result. When you develop the habit of winning, you are a truly successful person.”

"Yes!" Taldali responded excitedly, with a firm light shining in his eyes. He is fully aware of his great responsibility, not only to win honor and status for himself, but also to bring hope and happiness to those around him.

"But you have to remember," Lin Xiaofeng continued, "In this place in Jingjiang, morality is the most important. After entering the city, you must always show filial piety to your father. Once you are the prince, your power and status are both important. It was given by the father; secondly, this is also the duty of a child. You should not be afraid of the majesty of the father. He is also a father. You should pay more attention to him, greet him, and give him a cup of tea sooner or later. I won’t say it publicly, but I will definitely be very happy.”

"After entering the city, we can no longer be masters and disciples. You have to work hard for other things." After hearing this, Taldali suddenly knelt down in the carriage and said gratefully: "Teacher's kindness will last forever." Unforgettable!" After saying that, he kowtowed deeply.

Lin Xiaofeng hurriedly helped him up and said: "I haven't confiscated your apprenticeship ceremony yet, how dare I accept your gift!" Taldali said: "I will definitely give you the apprenticeship ceremony after entering the city!" Lin Xiaofeng said: " Get up now." The two looked at each other and smiled, and the carriage was filled with a strong master-disciple friendship.

Taldali stood up, pondered for a while, and said: "Teacher, there is indeed one thing that needs attention. My father advocates martial arts and likes to fight, and Buhasihe is his favorite general. Since Buhasihe was defeated by Xie Hongxin ""

The convoy moved forward slowly in the dusk, and it was not until the night was dim that they arrived at the capital of the Xixia Kingdom - Sarlang City. Lin Xiaofeng was eager to try and see the true appearance of the city, so he urged his horse to take the first step.

He looked up and saw that the city walls of Sarlang City were majestic and majestic, with new bricks and stones, and they were no less imposing than the Imperial Palace in Kyoto. Lin Xiaofeng admired in his heart. This capital city is well-deserved. Just looking at the appearance is breathtaking. I wonder what kind of prosperous scene the city will be like.

As Taldali led the way into the city, they headed straight to the inn. Lin Xiaofeng looked at the surrounding streets as he walked, but he felt a little confused in his heart. He noticed that there were many new buildings in the city. However, even though it was still dark, if he were in Kyoto, it would be brightly lit and bustling with people at this moment. But in Sarlang City, there are few pedestrians and the streets seem a bit deserted.

They shuttled between these novel buildings and soon arrived at the inn. The inn occupies a large area, and there are soldiers guarding the gate. One of the bald soldiers was particularly eye-catching. He stood upright, the afterglow of the setting sun shining on his bald head. Taldali stood aside, waiting for the follow-up troops.

Before Lin Xiaofeng could dismount, the bald soldier shouted loudly: "Master, do you remember me? I'm here!" Wu Rige's face changed slightly, but then he returned to his smile, and he clasped hands with Lin Xiaofeng, feeling deeply moved. .

After arranging accommodation, Lin Xiaofeng asked Wurige: "Master, I brought two ladies and I hope I can arrange a better room for them." Wurige smiled and nodded: "Brother Lin, you can't handle such a small matter. Feel free to worry.”

The two walked into the inn side by side, and Lin Xiaofeng mentioned again: "I also brought two personal guards with me this time, and I hope I can make arrangements for them." When Wu Rige saw Xie Hongxin, a trace of surprise flashed on his face, but he remained calm. Yes.

On the third floor, Wu Rige pointed to the largest door and said, "Brother Lin, this is your room. You can arrange the two rooms next to it by yourself." After saying this, he turned and left. Lin Xiaofeng began to allocate rooms to everyone.

The night was getting darker, and Lin Xiaofeng was preparing to take a short rest to attend the dinner party. But when he opened the door, he unexpectedly found a beautiful woman standing in the room. She is in her early twenties, tall and tall, with skin as clear as amber and a heroic look on her brows.

Lin Xiaofeng pretended to be ignorant and asked: "Girl, who are you?" The woman replied: "My name is Mudan, and I was sent by the Imperial Master to serve Mr. Lin." She spoke with a slightly exotic accent, giving her a unique charm.

Lin Xiaofeng was secretly happy, feeling that Wu Rige's arrangement was very much to his liking. But on his face, he waved his hands calmly and said, "I don't need anyone to wait on you. Please step aside." Mudan was a little surprised when he heard this, but still insisted: "The Imperial Master has an order, and I dare not disobey it."

During the stalemate, Fu Lingzhi knocked on the door and came in. She was also surprised when she saw this scene. Lin Xiaofeng looked at her and explained awkwardly: "This is a... uh... souvenir given by someone else."

Fu Lingzhi hesitated at the door for a long time, and then asked in a somewhat hesitant tone: "Mr. Lin, have I disturbed your pleasure?" Lin Xiaofeng quickly stretched out her hand and warmly invited him in: "Oh, where are you?" There must be something important when Brother Fu comes to see me. Please come in and tell me." But Fu Lingzhi hesitated and did not step in. He stood at the door and said, "I feel that something is wrong with the atmosphere in the city. It's still early. But the streets are empty." He paused and continued: "I have talked to guests from Kyoto, Bianzhen and even Sarlang City before, and they all said that this was not the case in the city before." He said. He raised his eyes and looked at Lin Xiaofeng, "This news may be of some use to Mr. Lin, so I came here to tell you."

Lin Xiaofeng hummed, frowning, and fell into deep thought. He also noticed something unusual in the city. It seemed that he was not the only one who had such an observation. "Lingzhi, since you're here, please come in and talk in detail." But Fu Lingzhi shook his head, "I've said everything I want to say, so I won't disturb Mr. Lin from enjoying the delicious food." As soon as he finished speaking, he The figure disappeared at the door.

On the other side, Wu Rige looked at Taldali seriously, "Sixth Prince, you have worked hard on this trip. How are you getting along with Lin Xiaofeng?" Taldali responded easily: "Very good. Imperial Master, why is this so? Take me to the palace in a hurry? I haven't settled down yet." Uzhige asked again, "What did you talk about on the way?" Taldali felt a little confused when the imperial master came to pick him up in person. The ground wanted to talk to him secretly, which made him feel that things were not simple. "We didn't talk about much, just trade and stuff like that. Imperial Master, why are you so mysterious?"

Wurige secretly breathed a sigh of relief and found an excuse to excuse himself. However, Taldali frowned slightly, "National Master, you are hiding something from me! Sarlang City was not like this when I left. How come the streets are empty now when I come back? What happened in the city?" Facing Tower Under Erdali's questioning, Uzhige chose to remain silent. His preparations for the war only started after the mission set off. He planned to bring Lin Xiaofeng back, but he had to hide it from Tardali. But now that Taldali is back, things are getting a little tricky.

"These are all trivial matters, so don't ask any more questions, Sixth Prince." Wurige said calmly. His understatement instantly angered Tardali. He was praised by Lin Xiaofeng on the road, but when he returned home, he turned into a useless person that no one cared about. This psychological gap made it difficult for him to accept. "What do you mean, don't ask?! Am I not a member of the royal family?! My eldest brother and my third brother can participate in government affairs, why can't I?! You asked me to go to Jingjiang Kingdom to give gifts, so I sent them obediently! What do you think of me? What?!" Tardali roared, obviously irritated.

Wurige looked at him in astonishment, feeling baffled. "National Master! Speak!" Taldali roared again. "Sixth Prince, are you too tired? You should go back and rest early." Wurige said calmly with a wave of his sleeves. But Taldali refused to give up, "I'm not tired! I'm full of energy now! If you don't give me a reasonable explanation today, we're not done!" He looked directly at Uzhge and said angrily. Wurige was forced to be at a loss, "Sixth Prince, are you sick? Why has your temper become so violent?" Wurige was stared at by him and asked, his whole body hairy and he swallowed.

"I asked you to speak, but I didn't ask you to ask me!" Taldali said every word with great anger. Wurige lied helplessly and said: "It's just a curfew. There are thieves in the city making trouble at night, so your Majesty ordered a curfew for a certain period of time, so there is no one on the street at this time. Sixth Prince, do you have anything else to ask?" He was afraid that he would be beaten if he didn't say anything. "It turns out it's a curfew. What's there to hide?" After getting the answer, Taldali felt much more relaxed instantly.

Uzhige looked at him with a wry smile, "Sixth Prince, you have changed a lot this time! You have become much stronger! Your energy and energy have also improved. Did you encounter some adventure?" "Really?" Taldali said at the corner of his mouth. He smiled, flexed his right arm hard in front of his chest, and his biceps bulged high, showing his changes, "I have indeed changed a lot. I went to Jingjiang and learned a lot. I also met an expert. , taught me a set of magical skills. I have been practicing it all the way, and now I want to compete with my elder brother to see who is better!" "What?" Wurige was shocked, and his temperament changed drastically. Are you so arrogant?

Only a few months later, what kind of master did he meet? But this matter definitely has nothing to do with Lin Xiaofeng. After all, he is not good at martial arts, and practicing martial arts has never been said to change his character. Could it be the magic power in the novel about ghosts and monsters? Wu Rige asked cautiously: "May I ask the Sixth Prince, what kind of magic skills are you practicing? Why has your character changed so much?" Taldali couldn't help but recall Lin Xiaofeng's teachings, and his heart felt warm again. , said with a smile: "I am now a young man with a temperament as fierce as a wolf, beating my chest with passion." "Yesterday is history, today is the beginning, and no one will be able to do anything tomorrow!"

Wurige took two steps back and looked at him with fear: "Sixth Prince, you have really changed." You have become a little sick! "Yes, I have been practicing martial arts hard, but unfortunately there is no suitable opponent on the road for me to try my skills. After I rest for two days, I will go to my elder brother to fight. Hasn't my father always thought that I was weak? Let him take a good look this time Look at my true strength!" Taldali said proudly. "Sixth Prince, although your few months of hard training are indeed valuable, the eldest prince has been practicing for more than 20 years. He has no eyes for fists and kicks, so you should try with someone else." Urige advised with a mixture of laughter and tears.

"Hmph! If the sword is not sharp and the horse is too thin, how can he fight with me! A man should be brave enough to challenge. Even if he loses to his elder brother, it doesn't matter! It rains and the ground is slippery. If you fall, you have to crawl!" "Okay, okay, country. Master, I won’t say any more. I’m really tired from this journey, so I’ll go back and rest first.” After saying that, Taldali left the room in a rage. Wurige looked at his back worriedly and sighed. It's not good to go on like this. You need to see a royal doctor.

It was getting dark, and someone sent from the Xixia Palace conveyed the invitation to the dinner. Lin Xiaofeng was in high spirits after taking a nap. He brought many followers with him, but he could not bring them all to the banquet this time. He could only choose a few capable assistants, including his deputy Dali Temple Shaoqing Song Shaozhen, several outsiders from the Ministry of Household Affairs and an interpreter. They followed the guide all the way to the palace. The palace occupies a vast area, and its majestic outline is vaguely visible in the dim night. It wasn't until they reached the brightly lit main hall that the surrounding scenery gradually became clear.

Wurige had been waiting outside. When he saw Lin Xiaofeng and his party, he greeted him enthusiastically and said with a smile: "Brother Lin, how are you resting? Are you satisfied with the things I gave you?" Lin Xiaofeng smiled and raised his eyebrows at Wurige. Thumbs up: "You really understand me, Brother Wu!" Wurig nodded, glanced at his entourage, and asked curiously: "Very good, but why didn't Xie Hongxin come?" "You asked him to do it? What? That guy has a hot temper and I am not responsible for any trouble he causes." Lin Xiaofeng was a little wary. Wu Rige said softly: "Brother Lin, you may not know that the emperor may be more interested in Xie Hongxin than you. I have reported the list of envoys to His Majesty. After he heard about it, he wanted to meet this person who could defeat The warrior of Buhasihe. "I think they will have to fight sooner or later." Lin Xiaofeng smiled bitterly and was about to enter the palace.

Wurige hurriedly stopped him and said, "Wait a minute, Brother Lin, I have another question. Is your return trip with the eldest prince going smoothly?" Lin Xiaofeng understood immediately, and he asked with a smile: "You want to ask Talda It's something about profit, right?" Wu Rige's expression became solemn and he nodded: "Brother Lin, why are you laughing?" Lin Xiaofeng pointed at himself: "To be honest, is the eldest prince a little out of his mind? I was so excited that I wanted to fight when I saw people. Fortunately, it was quiet after arriving in the capital. "I got sick after returning home. I practiced boxing every day and even provoked Xie Hongxin." Wu Rige asked nervously: "How did he provoke?" "He said: 'The tiger is coming down the mountain and the dragon is roaring, little brother, don't be too proud.' Fortunately, I stopped them in time and avoided a fight." "Oh my god, he is crazy," Wu Rige said. Talk to yourself. It seems that this matter has nothing to do with Lin Xiaofeng. It may be that the eldest prince learned some evil martial arts in the capital. He wanted the honest man Taldali to go out to do something, but when he came back he had a brain problem. However, no one cared about the eldest prince. "Master, is he okay?" "Oh, he's okay. Thank you Brother Lin for caring about the eldest prince, please come in." Wurige put aside his distracting thoughts and extended his hand to invite them into the palace. Lin Xiaofeng cupped his hands and responded: "You are too polite, Master."

As soon as they entered the hall, the guests were already gathered together. Taldali was also at his seat, showing his teeth and smiling brightly. Lin Xiaofeng led his followers in, his eyes wandering around. King Barter sat on the throne and looked at them with burning eyes. Lin Xiaofeng walked to his seat and saluted respectfully: "Foreign envoy Lin Xiaofeng has met your Majesty." Battelle raised his hand gently and said in a loud voice: "Your envoy has come from afar, no need to be polite, please sit down." Lin Xiaofeng listened. When I saw that Barter could speak such fluent Chinese without using a translator, I couldn't help but be stunned and looked up at him carefully. King Barter had a broad nose, a big mouth and a beard, and a tall figure, even taller than Emperor Jingjiang. If he were not an emperor, he would be like a butcher; but as an emperor, he is obviously both rough and fine. Afterwards, everyone took their seats. Battelle said loudly: "Tonight is just a banquet, no political affairs will be discussed. Let's have a drink and let's get started!" Everyone responded in unison, the atmosphere gradually became warmer, and whispers started one after another. From time to time, someone glanced at Lin Xiaofeng and others secretly and whispered.

Xixia people are outspoken, and the guests were already chatting enthusiastically before they said anything. Some people even stared blatantly, seemingly not caring about the mission at all. Lin Xiaofeng gently poked Song Shaozhen and asked in a low voice: "Do you feel that there is something wrong with the way they look at us, as if they are not friendly?" Song Shaozhen said with a smile: "Sir, you are worrying too much. This is normal. "King Barter himself is a warrior and doesn't pay much attention to etiquette, so his people are the same. This is a wilderness, sir, you think too much." He toasted to Lin Xiaofeng: "Your Majesty's reputation has long been known to me. Today I met the real person, and he is indeed a hero!" Lin Xiaofeng also raised his glass in return: "Your Majesty is overly complimentary, and people outside are just misinformed. In the court, I just You are a mediocre person. But I heard that your Majesty has great military achievements, is proficient in Jingjiang language, and is both civil and military. I deeply admire him." Battelle laughed when he heard this: "The Imperial Master once said that you are very eloquent. When I see you today, you are indeed worthy of your reputation. Come and drink this!" After three drinks, Battelle asked again: "I heard that Xie Hongxin, the strong man who defeated Buhasihe, is also here. Where is he?" After speaking, he looked around. At this time, Lin Xiaofeng stood up and said: "Your Majesty, with all due respect, Xie Hongxin has a rough personality and does not understand the rules and etiquette of the scene, so he is waiting outside the palace to be summoned." "How can you say that? Call him in quickly. Let me see you! I really want to see what the person who can defeat Buhashe looks like. "Come here! Call Buhashe here too," Lin Xiaofeng continued helplessly. drink wine. It seems that King Barter intends to let the two of them fight, but since Xie Hongxin is confident, let's fight.

Not long after, Buhasihe arrived first. He was still tall, mighty, and burly; but after losing one of his ears, his expression became even more gloomy and terrifying. When Xie Hongxin appeared, Buhasihe's expression suddenly changed, with a ferocious and excited expression on his face. Luo Huajun also entered the room shortly after, and the audience in the hall began to get excited, and some even started to boo. The whole hall was very noisy, and even King Battelle showed a hint of excitement: "Are you Xie Hongxin? You are indeed a warrior!" "My subordinate Montenegro Buhashe has fought with me in more than a dozen battles, and he will win every battle. , Outstanding merits; what are your military exploits?" Xie Hongxin scratched his head, looking a little confused, "Military exploits?" He followed the young master only to fight, rob, and deceive others; in terms of military achievements, he really had no military achievements, except for defeating Buhasihe.

In the palace, a word was like a pebble thrown into a lake, stirring up thousands of waves. The originally solemn atmosphere was instantly broken, and everyone was in an uproar. Although they could not understand the specific content of their shouting, from the excited faces and waving arms, it was not difficult to guess that there must be many sharp accusations.

Among the noisy crowd, many people's faces were filled with indignation.

Speaking of the name Buhasihe, it can be said to be a household name in Xixia. As a warrior of Xixia, he suffered a big loss in a previous confrontation in Jingjiang Kingdom. Now, the person who had made him suffer dared to step here to provoke. This is simply adding salt to the wounds of the Xixia people, which is outrageous.

When Prince Barter heard this, his expression suddenly changed, but he soon returned to normal, and a smile emerged from the corner of his mouth: "Oh? It seems that you really don't know the heights of heaven and earth!"

Luo Huajun stood aside, looking at Xie Hongxin with disdainful eyes, and said to himself: Is this what you call courage? I think you just have no brains!
Battelle noticed Luo Huajun's strange eyes, and looked at his burly figure. He thought that this man might also be a master, so he asked curiously: "Huh? This brother came with Xie Hongxin, and he seemed to be quite skilled. Extraordinary, I don’t know what to call it?”

Luo Huajun glanced at Lin Xiaofeng, saw him nodding slightly, and then said calmly: "I am Xie Hongxin's master, Luo Huajun."

A trace of surprise flashed in Bart's eyes: "Oh? Since you are Xie Hongxin's master, you must be more skilled than him. Can you tell me about any glorious achievements?"

Luo Huajun's face turned slightly red, thinking that back then, he might still be able to compete with Xie Hongxin, but now this kid is not only getting stronger physically, but also more calm mentally. If he hadn't given him a "little start" from time to time, I'm afraid he would no longer be his opponent. As for the record? To be honest, he has never defeated in a formal competition, and even if he won twice, it is hard to talk about it. For a moment, Luo Huajun stood there with an unpredictable expression, not knowing how to answer.

Battle looked at him with a meaningful smile on his face, but he didn't ask any more questions.

Lin Xiaofeng saw all this and secretly scolded Luo Huajun for being so embarrassing, and hurriedly came out to smooth things over: "Your Majesty, Luo Huajun's skills are really great. He already killed someone when he was thirteen!"

"Yes, I killed someone when I was thirteen!" Luo Huajun quickly answered, feeling secretly relieved. Although these words are not domineering, it at least proves that he is not an ordinary person.

However, Battelle didn't take this seriously. He had seen many children who killed people at the age of ten, and this Luo Huajun didn't seem to be anything special.

He turned his attention to Xie Hongxin again and asked: "Xie Hongxin, do you dare to compete with Buhashe again today?"

Before Xie Hongxin could answer, the palace exploded. Buhasihe couldn't hold himself back any longer. He strode up to Xie Hongxin and blocked him tightly like an iron tower. Then he said with a sinister smile: "Xie Hongxin, we meet again! You can compete today if you like, Even if you don’t want to, you have to compete!”

Xie Hongxin raised his eyes and looked at him and said jokingly: "Hey, you can speak the language of Jingjiang Kingdom? It's really rare. However, if you want me to surrender, you have to show some real skills."

When Buhasi heard this, he suddenly became furious: "Fuck, you dare to underestimate me? I won't beat you to death!" As he said that, he raised his hand and punched Xie Hongxin directly in the face. Fortunately, Xie Hongxin was agile and could easily avoid it by turning sideways.

Lin Xiaofeng took the opportunity to shout loudly: "Your Majesty, Buhasihe is conducting a sneak attack! How can this be counted?"

Battelle raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet: "Buhashe, don't lose your etiquette. The visitor is a guest. Xie Hongxin, do you want to compete?"

"Better!" Xie Hongxin replied without hesitation, and at the same time cast a firm look at Lin Xiaofeng. Lin Xiaofeng sighed helplessly in his heart, what is all this? When I first came to Xixia, I had to fight before I even ate.

Battle asked again: "Then what weapon do you use? I'll have someone prepare it for you."

"No need," Xie Hongxin said calmly, while digging around in his coat, then took off his coat and handed it to Luo Huajun along with the clothes inside.

Luo Huajun walked up to Lin Xiaofeng holding his coat, and Lin Xiaofeng asked him in a low voice: "Which one of them do you think can win?"

"Xie Hongxin." Luo Huajun said decisively.

"So sure?" Lin Xiaofeng was a little confused.

Luo Huajun shook his coat with a wry smile: "Look at the jingling in his pockets, I don't know what's in them. I'm with him every day, and even I can't guard against him. Xie Hongxin never takes the usual path in a fight. Be careful."

After hearing this, Lin Xiaofeng broke out in cold sweat on his forehead. What if Xie Hongxin really injured Buhasihe?
At this time, Xie Hongxin and Buhasihe were ready. Buhasihe looked full of fighting spirit. He has been waiting for this game for too long! The last time I was humiliated in front of someone, I lost all face under the spotlight. Although he used some despicable means at the time, people only focused on the result - he lost. I was laughed at for several years after returning to China, and today I can finally avenge my shame!

In contrast, Xie Hongxin still looked calm and calm, as if he was fearless. Everyone in the palace watched them intently, looking forward to the start of the game. (End of chapter)
