Who among the gangsters wants to fall in love?

Chapter 11: Inside the Prince Jin's Mansion
Zhao Wumian and the other two were very nervous. They hid their horses and dressed up in disguise. But in fact, there was no Internet in this world and information was delayed. So it was not until Zhao Wumian returned to the village to sleep that the matter of Luo Chaoyan reached the ears of King Jin.

In the center of Taiyuan, inside the huge Prince Jin's Mansion, there is a lake located in the backyard, surrounded by many locust trees... The lake has frozen over, but there is a middle-aged man wearing fox fur, carrying a small stool, sitting under the locust tree without any bearing of a vassal king, holding a wooden fishing rod in his hand, and chiseling a hole in the ice to fish.

The weather was extremely cold. There was a stove next to the man in fox fur and he was holding a heater in his arms, but his fingers were still frozen red.

He was fishing in his own yard in the snow and ice... This man was none other than the King of Jin, Luo Yingquan, who was also Luo Chaoyan's uncle.

He was not included in the reduction of vassal states back then, but as the saying goes, 'Qin and Jin are close friends', and the territories of Qin and Jin are adjacent to each other. Therefore, after the King of Qin rose to power, the King of Jin saw that the King of Qin had a slight advantage and immediately joined him in 'clearing the court', and he made great contributions. As a reward, not only was Xiliang granted to him afterwards, his military power was also expanded to 200,000, and he was responsible for guarding the border.

One has to admit that Prince Jin had a very vicious vision. Of course, he did not do so without paying a price... Princess Jin's family was implicated, uprooted, and all of them were killed. A year later, Princess Jin died in depression, leaving him with only a son. This has always been a thorn in Prince Jin's heart, and as a result, he has never remarried until now. From this aspect, there are quite a lot of romantic people in the Luo family.

By noon, not a single fish had been caught. The Air Force's King Jin was not disappointed. He put away his fishing rod and stood up. "I'm tired. Let's go back and rest."

At this moment, the attendant standing beside him handed over the secret letter, "Your Majesty, there is news from the capital."

When Prince Jin took the secret letter, his brows immediately furrowed tightly.

He sat down on the small stool again, read the secret letter three times, then threw it into the fire and burned it without saying a word. Then he picked up the fishing rod and went fishing again.

The attendant dared not utter a word.

He fished from noon to dusk when the fishing rod moved slightly and a fish was hooked, but the King of Jin remained motionless.

"Your Highness, you've taken the bait." The attendant reminded.

The King of Jin seemed to have just realized what was happening. He threw the fishing rod gently to the ground and asked, "There's a kid who wants to join the King of Jin's mansion as my guest?"

"Yes, his name is Yan Jiu. He was personally appointed as the top scholar by His Majesty in the eleventh year of Emperor Jingzheng's reign. He has no sect or faction and has a clean background. However, he is already twenty-six years old this year. I guess that he wanted to become my disciple because he was unable to make a breakthrough and wanted to seek an opportunity."

"As both are Yuan Kui, how does she compare to the little girl of the Su family?"

"The two have never competed on the same stage, but Su Qingqi is only sixteen years old, and Yan Jiu has practiced ten years longer than her. As both are top talents, the difference in potential is not big, so it is expected that he is much stronger than her."

The King of Jin was silent for a while before he said, "The little girl of the Su family is in Xiurong. She should be heading to southern Jin at the moment. There is a man and a woman following her. Let Yan Jiu invite the two women back to the King of Jin's mansion. The Jianghu is in chaos, and this is the safest place. As for the other man... kill him. This is his token of surrender."

It is said to be protection, but Sima Zhao's intention is known to everyone.

"Yes, what other arrangements does the prince have?"

"Remember... don't let him reveal that this is King Jin's intention."

Luo Chaoyan can die or disappear, but no matter what, she must not let the world know that she died because of Prince Jin or disappeared because of Prince Jin.

Although if Luo Chaoyan eventually disappeared in Jin, even if it was not the King of Jin's doing, he would still have to bear the blame in the end, but as long as he did not make it clear, then when the King of Jin seized the throne, he could still do so with justification... Don't underestimate this "justification", many things will be difficult to accomplish if they do not have a legitimate reason, otherwise the King of Qin would not have used the name of "clearing the court" when he rebelled.

After all, some things are worth more than a pound if you don't weigh them, but if you weigh them, they would weigh more than a thousand pounds.

Otherwise, the King of Jin would not have used the excuse of "protecting Luo Chaoyan". However, according to etiquette, even if Luo Chaoyan died, the eldest grandson of the emperor would still succeed to the throne, and it would not be the King of Jin's turn... But the King of Jin had 200,000 elite soldiers.

A hundred years ago, there was a master in Guixuan Valley who spent his entire life figuring out a way to increase grain production several times. As a result, the population in this world is actually very prosperous. As a result, although 200,000 elite soldiers are not strictly speaking too many, they are also a force that no one can underestimate.

Rules are important, but violence is the root of power.

The King of Qin can be the emperor, so why can’t the King of Jin be?

Zhao Wumian slept soundly and felt very uncomfortable when he woke up.

When I opened my eyes, it was already dusk. Looking through the window, the heavy snow had stopped and the ground was covered with red.

"Young master, are you awake? This is the medicine prepared for you by the emperor. He asked you to take it." Su Qingqi's voice came from my ear. Her voice was clear and clean, yet also tender.

And you boiled medicine for me? Zhao Wumian felt that Luo Chaoyan was more gentle and virtuous. Even if it was just a conciliatory policy, this intention was real, but...

"You?" Zhao Wumian wondered when did she respect him so much?

Su Qingqi also reacted, pursed her pink lips, held the small bowl in both hands and handed it forward, changing the subject, "The emperor is also resting, young master, drink the medicine, we can still practice before the emperor wakes up."

These words touched Zhao Wumian's heart. Nothing was more important than practicing martial arts... He picked up the bowl and drank it all, then picked up his knife and gun, and pointed his eyes at the backyard of the cabin.

Su Qingqi understood what he meant, and stood up with the scabbard in her hand, and left the room with Zhao Wumian. Only Luo Chaoyan was left in the room, sleeping soundly against the wall, covered with clothes.

"Sir, do you want to continue learning my Yuehua Sword, or..." Su Qingqi looked at the snow-white spear in Zhao Wumian's hand, "learn the spearmanship chapter of the Five Qi Sutra?"

"Spear skills, right?" Holding the spear, Zhao Wumian still felt as if he could use his arms and fingers. It was obvious that he also knew some spear skills... How many weapons did he know? Was he proficient in all eighteen kinds of weapons? How could he be killed by someone even if he was so powerful?
The stronger he is, the more powerful his enemies are. With this in mind, Zhao Wumian calmed his mind, cleared his mind of distractions, and focused on practicing martial arts.

Su Qingqi frowned slightly and whispered, "As the saying goes, it takes a year to learn the sword, ten years to learn the spear, and a lifetime to learn the spear. If you don't know how to use the spear before, you'd better continue to learn my Yuehua Sword. Otherwise, it will take at least three years to master the spear."

Zhao Wumian danced with his gun very skillfully. The dusk passed through the gun body, leaving a series of shadows on the snow. Then he shook his head slightly, "I still have a lot of doubts about the Five Qi Classics. I still hope Miss Su can answer them for me... This matter must be done sooner or later, and the sooner the better."

There are too many professional terms in "The Five Qi Classic" and Zhao Wumian knows nothing about it. It is like having a treasure trove but not being able to use it. It is really uncomfortable. Now that Su Qingqi is by his side, it is natural for him to learn as much as possible.

One must learn the Yuehua Sword and the Five Qi Sutra, only then can one be considered complete.

After hearing Zhao Wumian say that he needed her help, Su Qingqi stopped trying to persuade him. Instead, she read the Five Qi Classic with Zhao Wumian. She was in a good mood and spoke clearly, "Let me see. This spear is called 'Cloud Stepping Cold Spear'. It has a total of eighteen moves. Spear techniques are the main ones, and footwork is the auxiliary ones. The spear moves ghostly. The first move should be like this..."

Although she was puzzled as to why Zhao Wumian, a martial arts master, needed her help to learn the secret book, she probably would not tell Zhao Wumian even if she asked him.

Su Qingqi picked up the spear and performed a move according to the description in the book. Her comprehension was impeccable. Even without a master, she could accurately grasp the internal energy flow, force techniques, and breathing tips of each move relying solely on the secret book... This was the ability that Zhao Wumian lacked the most at the moment.

I can only say that the youngest Yuan Kui of our time... is really smooth and easy to use.
