The struggle of the reborn prince

Chapter 120 Nine Guards

"One, two, three..." In an open space in the slaughterhouse, there were more than a dozen wooden stakes, and a fat pig was tied up on each stake, and the pig howled heart-piercingly.Xifu, Quanfu, Laifu and others were standing in front each holding a two-foot-long short straight knife, but the blade was slightly different from common knives. Feng Rui, the leather strap wrapped around the handle was already soaked in sweat.

In the sound of the prince's password, they stepped forward in groups of three and swung their knives quickly, wiped their throats with one knife, stabbed their chest with two knives, and teased their vagina after three knives. In an instant, the fat pigs in front of them had stopped howling, as if It twitched like a shofar wind, its throat, heart and hind legs were all cut open, blood spurted far away like arrows, Quan Fu dodged a little slower, and was sprayed like a blood pool It was like crawling out of the middle, and the faces of the three of them were not very good.

"Retreat, Jinfu, Wangfu, and Xiangfu take three steps forward, one step and three swords, and start." Zhao Tun who was on the side ignored the bloody scene and gave the order with a cold face.Although Xiangfu's hand holding the knife trembled a little, his obedience to the order had penetrated into his bone marrow, and he still took three steps forward without hesitation.

After the three of them stand at attention, they adopt a natural fighting posture with their left feet in front and right feet behind them. The left hand is naturally placed in front of the body, and the right hand is held behind the knife. After hearing the start command, the three of them step forward with their right feet at the same time. Taking a big step, the right hand holding the knife took the knife forward and wiped it towards the target's throat. The blood gushing through the knife, the right foot hadn't landed yet, and the daily training made several people follow each other like inertia. After the first knife, the backhand stabs the pig's chest for the second time, and then the left foot steps forward while the body turns right, and the right hand takes advantage of the situation to hold the knife body, turn around and pull it out downwards.

After the three of them finished their movements and retreated, the pig on the stake next to him seemed to feel the fate he was about to face, and struggled and howled even more frantically. "The next group, get ready, start" Zhao Tang glanced at him without saying a word, and ordered the next group to start...

Under Huang Jingchen's earnest persuasion, Zhao Tun finally accepted his suggestion, and transferred Xifu and the ten little Huangmen back to serve as his personal guards.

After a year of military training, they are no longer the submissive and timid little Huangmen. The rigorous training has changed their character and strengthened their physique. Coupled with the beatings of two military instructors, they are now two or three middle-aged men. They will not be their opponents alone, but they are still far from being the guards of the prince. They have no experience as the head of the guards at all, so Zhao Tang has no choice but to spare precious time for professional training for them.

For his own safety, Zhao Tang still worked hard, teaching them how to spot danger, how to protect the target when danger arises, how to deal with sudden attacks, matters that should be paid attention to in all aspects of basic necessities of life, anti-stalking, anti-chasing, Prevent monitoring and surveillance... Everything he has learned has been taught to them, of course, hand-to-hand combat and the proficient use of various weapons, which are necessary skills for body guards.

Now Xifu and the others are practicing Zhao Tun's ultimate move, the three-step sword technique. This sword technique is mainly used for close combat. It is fierce and vicious, deadly with swords and knives. After mastering the movements, it can also be used in boxing. As long as you master the application and practice flexibly, you will be invincible and invincible, not inferior to Cheng Yaojin's three axes.

"Just now everyone has experienced the power of these three knives. Although it is a little bloody, it will allow you to better understand the magical effect of the knives." Each of the ten people killed a pig, and the blood of the pig had already flowed all over the ground. Turned into a red ice surface, Zhao Tang took a knife, opened the wound and began to comment, "The first knife can cut the enemy's throat, cut off the opponent's trachea and jugular vein, and kill him quickly, just like cutting his neck. If the carotid arteries on both sides are used, the opponent will lose too much blood and die within a few breaths; the second cut is designed to stab the enemy's heart, and if it hits the heart, the enemy can be killed immediately; Hitting the inner thigh of the enemy can break the femoral artery and disable the thigh, and stabbing the abdomen can cause the enemy to faint or even die. Now let's practice the second style. Everyone agrees?"

"Second Master, it's not good." Several people looked at the fat pig that was dismembered by the prince when he was commenting, and they all felt their stomachs twitching, and they replied sadly.

"Hey, why can't it be bad? The Chinese New Year is coming soon. Aren't you clamoring to go see the brothers of the pro-guards? Let's kill a few more and give them more meat." Zhao Tong induced with a smile, "The key to swordsmanship is to kill first. If you lose your teeth, even though the eagle and the tiger are strong, they are nothing more than flesh. Why not be afraid of it? The second move we practice is to cut off his limbs and make the enemy quickly lose the ability to attack..."

"Second Lord, have you finished killing your pigs? We're waiting to shed their hair and open them. It won't be easy to work when it's cold." Just as Zhao Tian was demonstrating, several butchers waiting outside the door shouted.

"Okay, okay, you take the dead pigs away, and bring ten more, today we will kill all your pigs for you," Zhao Tang shouted to the outside, completely ignoring his guards who couldn't keep their mouths shut.

"Thank you, Second Master. It's almost Chinese New Year. We have to kill a hundred pigs a day, and we are worrying about not having enough manpower." Hearing the voice of the prince, the butcher ran in happily and said.

"Okay, we'll take care of this job, and the insurance won't stop you from earning money," Zhao Tang said with a smile.

"Second Master, as long as you have fun." The butchers were busy untying the dead pigs, and came to tie up the live pigs. They nodded and bowed their heads and said, Zhao Tian waved them back and closed the door, and started training again .

"Shopkeeper, the second master killed pigs strangely. You see, they stabbed three times, so much pig blood was useless." A butcher said distressedly while carrying the dead pig into a cauldron for scalding.

"Fucking job, as long as the second master is happy, he just stabbed the pig into a sieve and took all the meat away, I am also willing, that little pig blood is a fart" the shopkeeper scolded with staring eyes.

……

I don’t know why Qufei listened to Huang Jingchen’s advice, but still felt that the prince really didn’t have the talent to be a young man of literature and art, so he had already given up on cultivating Zhao Tong’s artistic direction. aspects of knowledge.The study of emperors is a study of leadership, strategy, management, and the art of knowing and employing people and vertical and horizontal skills of Chinese emperors in the past dynasties. This thing is also useful to Zhao Tong. In order to increase the interest of students, why not Of course, Qu Fei would also talk with him from time to time, so as not to bore the prince, and Zhao Tang would often ask for advice, and the teachers and students also had a good time.

In the twinkling of an eye, it was the end of the year, the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, and the official government sealed the students' holiday, so Zhao Tun finally didn't have to go to the study to attend lectures, but he was even busier. They have already gathered in the palace, waiting for the audience of the prince, and arrange the work for next year.

"My lord, shopkeeper Cheng of the fleet is asking to see you," Xi Fu outside the study reported.

"Please," Jianxi saw the prince nodded and ordered.

Cheng Xishou is in his 30s, not very old, but he has been floating on the water for nearly 20 years. He is considered an old hand. He travels on the water all the year round, exposed to the wind and the sun, and there was no 'Dabao' at that time, so naturally he would not be too white.He was originally the leader of the next fleet of a large merchant in Shandong, but because of the economic crisis the year before last, the entire fleet was taken over by the new owner. Because he had experience, he was chosen as the shopkeeper, and continued to travel to Korea, Japan. Airline used to be a steward in the mansion who was responsible for the corresponding matters, but he didn't expect the big boss to see him this year.

"Professor Cheng, please leave the knife to the young one for safekeeping, and return it to Zhao after it's done." Hearing the announcement, Cheng Xishou was about to enter the room when he was fully dressed, but was stopped by the little yellow gate guarding the door.

"Oh, I'll be bothering you then," Cheng Xishou untied the Japanese sword from his waist and handed it to Xifu.

"I'm sorry, please let the little one check what you have brought." Xi Fu said with a smile on his face.

Although Cheng Xishou was upset, he knew that this was the rule. He asked his followers to open the box and said, "These are gifts for the prince, please be careful." He was very proficient and checked carefully, even knocking on the walls of the box to prevent anything from being entrained, but the other person kept staring at them with his hands behind his back.

"As expected of the people around the prince, you can tell by their actions that they are well-trained. If I make a slight change at this time, I am afraid that person will violently take me down. Cheng Xishou travels around the world, and he often deals with princes and nobles. A little discerning.

"Shopkeeper Cheng, if you don't mind, the younger one will pass these two knives on to the prince." Xi Fu picked out two knives from the gifts and said with a smile.

"Okay, okay" Cheng Xishou knew that he was being polite to him, so he dared not refuse.

"Second Lord, thank you for letting them teach you well, and the younger ones can save some trouble." Jian Xi smiled and said to Zhao Tun while listening to the conversation outside.

"Hehe, you have to learn a little bit in the future, and they will all be handed over to you in the future." Zhao Tong was also very satisfied with the performance of several people, and smiled, but he smiled bitterly when he saw Xixi. If he let the prince torment them Such training, I am afraid that I will belch in less than three days.

After the inspection, Cheng Xishou was able to enter the room to greet the prince, present him with a gift, and carefully sat down on the prince's hands, "My lord, I heard that you are a martial artist, so I brought you two Fusang swords from Fusang. There are still some folding fans for you to play with," Cheng Xishou said, looking at the young prince in front of him.

"Thank you, you have been in the mansion for two years. Although we haven't met, I have heard a lot about your affairs. You have contributed a lot to the mansion. Seeing that the trade wind is blowing again, you are going to sea again. , this king still wants to meet you, won't it delay your trip?" Zhao Tong said, also observing this person.

"My lord is serious. Although it's the season, it's not these few days. It's a small blessing to be in front of my lord." Cheng Xishou got up and saluted.

"That's good. I heard that Liaodong is not peaceful now, and the trade route to Koryo is cut off. I don't know how the sea route is?"

"Oh, the prince is really well informed. I also heard that the Liaodong Jurchens are rebelling. Now they are fighting with the Liao Kingdom. All land routes have been cut off. The sea route may not have much impact."
