Huangxiu

Chapter 60 Decision
Sitting cross-legged on the couch, there was a bright moon outside the open window.

A few floating clouds were illuminated by the moonlight, shining silver.

Chu Zhiyuan looked up and stared at the bright moon.

The Flying Dragon Ball activated the third level of the Dragon Transformation Technique, and wisps of aura spread out, falling on the bones and strengthening them little by little.

After a day, I felt my bones became stronger.

The harder the bones become, the faster and stronger the body will be.

This trace may seem weak, but at a critical moment, it may determine life or death.

He let the Dragon Transformation Technique flow while measuring the jade tower in his throat.

Only five floors of the Jade Tower remain, and the broken through seven floors are only a phantom, no longer hindering the flow of true energy.

The remaining five floors of the jade tower are larger in size, thicker in diameter, and more impact-resistant, and cannot be broken by the ten dragon-binding ropes.

The preliminary estimate is twelve.

Even if the first level of the Dragon Transformation Art meridian training is completed, the meridians have already been made strong enough and cannot be strengthened further.

But it's still not enough.

Then you can only use the Cleansing Meridians Technique, but the Cleansing Meridians Technique is not like the Dragon Transformation Technique. There is no shortcut to speed it up, you can only do it step by step.

The progress suddenly slowed down.

Unless there is more dragon blood stone, I can continue to open up the acupoints. The more acupoints I have, the faster my true energy will circulate, and the faster I can practice the meridian cleansing technique.

After a night, he went to Mingwu Hall early in the morning.

As soon as they arrived at the Mingwu Palace martial arts training ground, Chu Mingxuan and the others started making faces at each other, and even Chu Zhiyao, who was always serious and solemn, showed a strange smile.

But before they could open their mouths to make fun of him and Xiao Ruoling, they were suppressed by Chu Qingfeng, who told them to be honest, concentrate on practicing, and not waste time.

Chu Zhiyuan took the Zi Yang stance and practiced the Great Zi Yang Technique.

When the sun rose higher, he went to the Ministry of Rites, and after checking in, he went directly to the Supervisory Office.

Ma Tianhe quickly ran out to greet him.

Chu Zhiyuan followed him into the yard, and when he came to a small house, he said, "Master Ma, do you have any files from the Duke's Mansion?"

“Yes.” Ma Tianhe hesitated: “But…”

Chu Zhiyuan asked: "I don't have the right to access it now?"

Ma Tianhe hesitated for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth and asked, "Which Duke's Mansion do you want to see, my Lord?"

“If all the records from the Duke’s Mansion are the best, then we can go for the Duke’s Mansion of An.” Chu Zhiyuan said, “If that still doesn’t work, we can just take the records from the last hundred years.”

Ma Tianhe forced a smile and said, "Please wait a moment, my lord. I will go look for her."

"Thank you." Chu Zhiyuan nodded.

He watched Ma Tianhe hurried out of the house, ran through two courtyards at the back, and finally stopped in a quiet courtyard.

The small courtyard is elegantly decorated with rockery, strange rocks, and flowing water. A middle-aged man is pacing beside a stone table in the pavilion with his hands behind his back, his heroic face showing a heavy expression.

Ma Tianhe rushed to the steps outside the pavilion and saluted: "Master, the fourth prince wants to review the files of the Duke of Anguo's Mansion."

"Only from the Anguo Mansion?"

"Yes, as long as it's from the Duke of Anguo's Mansion within a hundred years."

“…Give it to him.”

"Yes!"

Ma Tianhe lowered his head and left the courtyard.

Chu Zhiyuan touched his chin, his eyes sparkling.

This middle-aged man is Leng Nanfeng from the Supervisory Department. He is called the Chief of the Department, but in fact he is no different from the Chief Supervisor.

The Chief of the Supervisory Department was the chief eunuch of the Forbidden Palace.

But the chief eunuch often stayed in the palace to serve the emperor, while matters outside had to be handled by the chief eunuch. He was the second person in name but the first person in reality.

Ma Tianhe led people to move in more than a dozen boxes of files, and Chu Zhiyuan looked through them carefully.

……

Two hours later, Chu Zhiyuan put down the last file, stood up and walked to the window.

Zou Fang took a step forward and opened the window.

The bright sunshine and the biting cold wind hit me at the same time.

Chu Zhiyuan's mind cleared up and his spirits lifted.

After reading all the records of the Duke of Anguo's Mansion over the past hundred years.

We saw the ups and downs of the Anguo Mansion over the past century, as well as the fate of everyone in the mansion.

Among them was Xiao Ruoling.

Xiao Ruoling has been staying in the Anguo Mansion. He has never been out and has never found a master. He only practices the martial arts passed down in the Anguo Mansion.

The eight dukes' palaces each have their own heritage, all of which are top-notch heritages in the world.

The inheritance of the Anguo Mansion is the Jinghai Wuliang Sutra.

The Duke of Anguo of this generation had ordinary qualifications, and it was said that he had to work hard to become a master. However, the twelve-year-old young master was extremely talented and had already mastered the basics at a young age.

The shy boy who was next to Xiao Ruoling last night appeared in Chu Zhiyuan's mind.

People can't be seen.

Who would have thought that this quiet and shy boy could actually master the Jinghai Wuliang Sutra.

He is strong, fierce and domineering. He can overcome hardness with softness and overwhelm others with his force. No one can resist him.

Violence is the fundamental characteristic of the Jinghai Wuliang Sutra.

The previous generations of Anguo Dukes were all heroic men, rough and generous, but the Anguo Dukes of this generation were gentle and refined, and their temperaments were not compatible, so they were unable to practice the Jinghai Wuliang Sutra.

It was very rare that the shy and quiet Xiao Ruoyu could master it.

His brows were furrowed.

Even the super-sensory senses couldn't notice anything wrong with Xiao Ruoling, so it was natural that the Supervisory Office couldn't notice anything either.

I originally wanted to find other ways to prove it, but now I can't find any. This Xiao Ruoling is becoming more and more complicated.

The Anguo Mansion is huge, only slightly smaller than the Qing Palace. The coverage of the super senses is not enough to spy on the reality of daily life.

He thought about it, and finally shook his head and said goodbye to Ma Tianhe.

Duke Anguo's Mansion
backyard
There is a half-sized colorful pleasure boat on the vast lake, rising and falling with the ripples of the lake.

A young man in green clothes walked on tiptoe on the lake surface, crossing two hundred meters as if walking on flat ground, and floated into the pleasure boat like a fallen leaf.

The interior of the pleasure boat is decorated in an elegant and simple style, and the smoke from the exquisite animal stove is curling up, refreshing the heart.

Beside the desk in front of the window, a stunning beauty was concentrating on holding a book in her hands, like a white jade statue of a beauty.

She was wearing a loose green robe and had loose black hair, which made her face look even whiter like jade and her eyes were as deep as a deep pool.

Two maids in green stood by, replacing the incense in the beast stove from time to time, or replacing the cold tea with new ones, quietly and silently.

"Sister." The young man in green came in through the beaded curtain: "It's time to eat. Father is waiting."

The stunning beauty put down the book and stretched herself, her curvaceous figure faintly visible under her wide green robe: "Xiao Hu, what time is it?"

"It's already noon. I'm starving. Let's hurry up." Xiao Ruoyu said.

Xiao Ruoling stood up and said, "You are too engrossed in watching. Let's go. Is father feeling better?"

"I'm completely sober now." Xiao Ruoyu shook his head: "I really don't understand, what's so good about wine? Why do you have to drink so much?"

Xiao Ruoling smiled sweetly and patted his head: "My little tiger is not grown up yet. When he grows up, he will like to drink."

Xiao Ruoyu hurriedly shook his head and shook off her hand: "Sister——!"

Xiao Ruoling smiled and said, "Okay, I won't touch your head anymore. Xiaohu has grown up and you can't touch his head anymore."

Xiao Ruoyu said dissatisfiedly: "And your tone, sister, is like coaxing a child!... Why did father drink so much last night? This is the first time I saw him drink so much."

"I met someone who wanted to drink."

"Who is it?"

"Didn't you see that?"

"...That Prince Qing?" Xiao Ruoyu asked.

Xiao Ruoling nodded.

Xiao Ruoyu frowned and said, "I really don't understand what father is thinking. He chose the son of Prince Qing. I think he is ordinary and not worthy of you!"

Xiao Ruoling burst out laughing, and her beauty illuminated the boat.

Xiao Ruoyu said: "If it was Prince Ying's son, he would be worthy of you, but it's a pity that he is already married."

Xiao Ruoling smiled and said, "Father has his own reasons."

"The Qing Palace is too bad. If I become the Crown Prince's Consort, I will definitely suffer."

"You..., if you tell this to your father, you will definitely get scolded. Don't say it in front of him anymore!"

"...Okay, then don't tell me." Xiao Ruoyu snorted unwillingly.

Last night he took the opportunity to mention this idea to his father, which caused Duke Anguo to scold him severely, making him extremely angry.

Of course I don’t dare say it again today, otherwise I will be scolded again.

Even though my father was very obedient to my eldest sister and listened to her in everything, he would always scold me and never speak to me nicely.

"Let's go. Don't keep father waiting for long." Xiao Ruoling put her jade hand on his arm.

At this time, the pleasure boat had already docked, and the two men left and went straight to the front hall of the front yard.

Duke Anguo was already sitting beside the round sandalwood table with a dragon pattern and a pearl, looking tired, his face yellow and listless.

He has a handsome face and a thin figure, and looks frail. Even though his face looks bad, his elegant temperament cannot be concealed.

"Father."

The two men came in and saluted.

Duke Anguo Xiao Youping waved his hand softly: "Let's eat."

The maids nearby quickly filled the table with food, which was delicious and fragrant. Most of the dishes were light, without any fish or meat.

While eating, Xiao Youping asked, "You met the Fourth Prince yesterday, Ling'er, how did you feel?"

"I can't see through him." Xiao Ruoling shook her head gently: "Father's vision is really sharp."

Xiao Youping smiled and said, "It has the appearance of a dragon and a phoenix, right?"

Xiao Ruoling nodded gently: "He is indeed the best of this generation."

Xiao Ruoyu opened his eyes wide, looked left and right, and felt that he could not understand what they were saying.

"Prince Qing is kind and righteous, and Princess Qing also has a very good family tradition. There is no need to worry about the character of their child," Xiao Youping said, "It's not enough to just have a good appearance, he also needs to have a stable character. He is the husband that you most resemble, Ling'er!"

"But father..."

"Don't say anything!" Xiao Youping gave him a sidelong look and said, "You don't understand anything. Just watch and listen obediently."

"how do I……"

"Xiao Hu." Xiao Ruoling said with a smile: "Last night, he only looked at me twice. Can other men do that?"

"...You don't like women, do you?" Xiao Ruoyu's face changed.

"Asshole!" Xiao Youping was furious and threw the chopsticks at Xiao Ruoyu.

Xiao Ruoyu dodged the chopsticks flexibly and said unconvincedly: "I don't believe any man can resist looking at my elder sister, unless he doesn't like women."

Xiao Ruoling stretched out her right hand, which was as white as white jade, and caught the chopsticks that shot into the air. She handed it back to Xiao Youping lightly, swiftly, and accurately: "Father, ignore him."

Xiao Youping pointed at him and said, "Stop hanging out with those bad friends. They are bad students!"

Xiao Ruoling said: "Father, Xiaohu is grown up now, it's not surprising that he knows these things, but don't worry, Xiaohu, he likes women, but he can keep his composure and control himself, which is rare. Just for this reason, he is a great man."

"Then it's settled." Xiao Youping said.

Xiao Ruoling nodded slightly.

Xiao Ruoyu wanted to say something, but Xiao Youping glared at him, so he had to shut up and sit back at the table and concentrate on eating.
