Chapter 193 Your Knife
Today's morning martial arts class is Zhao Kuo's military strategy class.

Zhao Kuo was indeed a man who had a thorough understanding of the art of war.

The last Eagle Cliff sand table made everyone no longer look down on him. In today's class, when talking about various military strategies, various military formations and battle records, and battlefield handling of various situations, he could talk about them all with ease.

Even Zhang Yuan was listening attentively.

Everyone has his or her own expertise, and as long as you practice diligently, you will eventually succeed.

When Zhao Kuo finished his morning class, all the students in the school bowed respectfully with their fists clasped.

A hint of pride flashed across Zhao Kuo's face. Just as he was about to brag a few words, he saw Zhang Yuan and the corner of his mouth twitched.

"Ahem, we're all family, no need to be polite."

"Let's have more discussions in the future."

Picking up the lecture notes on the table, Zhao Kuo walked out of the school in a leisurely manner. All the students and those city kids who came to attend the class for free, all left the school in a rush.

Zuo Qiuren has a class in the afternoon, and Zhang Yuan and the others have to go back to the house to get the formation map.

Only Zhang Yuan drew the battle formation diagram. Zhang Yuan had seen the diagram drawn by Hong Yang and Hu Tang, which could only be called a drawing of a villain.

"What a grand display! Prince Zhao's Mansion actually cooperated with the county government to suppress the bandits and captured many of them."

"Oh, the county government is bustling with activity today. It's said that the Crown Prince of Zhao's Palace went to greet the visiting talents from Langya County, and along the way, he collaborated with the Black Ice Platform and the county government to capture the bandits who were robbing the road."

"I heard that Lord Black Tiger also took action last night..."

People were talking about it everywhere on the street.

Hong Yang and Hu Tang showed envy on their faces, muttering that they could have such an achievement.

People on the street and students graduating from martial arts schools all have this kind of thinking.

Qin people are brave at heart.

When encountering bandits, the first thing that comes to mind is not bad things, but military merit.

At this time, Ying Liang and Ying Chong, who had returned to the Zhao family villa, were sitting in the lobby with Xie Chengxuan and others.

In Zhao Yu's boudoir, when the maid came to call her, she knew that this moment had finally come.

She will eventually become a bargaining chip.

"Princess, which dress would you like to wear?" the maid asked in a low voice.

Zhao Yu glanced at the dresses, her face tense, and went straight downstairs.

"Princess, the prince has already told you that when you meet guests in the future, you must wear women's clothes..." The maid chased after her, but couldn't catch up.

Zhao Yu walked outside the lobby with a complicated expression on his face. He took a deep breath and walked in.

Even if her eldest brother scolded her, she just didn't want to wear women's clothes and be criticized by these so-called talents.

The lobby fell silent as Zhao Yu entered.

Zhao Yu walked to the middle of the lobby and looked up at his eldest brother.

Ying Liang's calm expression made Zhao Yu slightly stunned.

"Fourth sister, are you going to attend martial arts classes later?" Ying Chong's voice sounded from the side.

Zhao Yu turned his head, a look of confusion on his face.

Why are we talking about martial arts at this time and place?

Shouldn't he introduce these heroes to her and then introduce her out like a commodity waiting to be sold?
"Also, didn't you say last time that Master Zhang invited you to a banquet tonight?" Ying Chong said softly, then reached out to Xie Chengxuan beside him, "Master Xie, please give me the knife."

Xie Chengxuan held the dragon tooth in both hands and handed it to Ying Chong.

"Why is his knife here?"

"You, you, what have you done to him?"

How come Zhang Yuan’s knife is here?
When Zhao Yu saw the dragon tooth knife, his expression changed instantly.

Although Zhang Yuan has an ordinary status and background, and cannot compare with these children from aristocratic families, Zhang Yuan is her friend, Zhao Yu!
Zhao Yu doesn't have many friends she can talk to, and Zhang Yuan is one of the few friends who doesn't care about her status and can talk to her!

Xie Chengxuan looked up, his face full of surprise.

The Princess of Zhaowang Mansion and Black Tiger have a special relationship!
When the other talented people in Langya County heard what Zhao Yu said and looked at the Prince of Zhaowang Mansion, their expressions suddenly changed.

Prince Zhao's Mansion is actually so closely related to the Black Tiger who seemed like an invincible god last night.

Ying Liang clenched his hands in his sleeves, his expression unchanged.

Ying Chong smiled and handed the dragon tooth to Zhao Yu. "Fourth sister, please return Master Zhang's knife to him later. And please thank him on my behalf, Big Brother, Master Xie, and all the talented people in Langya County."

Reaching out and patting Zhao Yu's shoulder, who looked bewildered, Ying Chong said softly, "Please tell Master Zhang that I'm grateful for your help to Prince Zhao's Mansion this time. If you need anything, please feel free to ask."

A helping hand?

Didn’t you steal Zhang Yuan’s knife?

What else is going on behind this that she doesn’t know?
Taking the long knife, Zhao Yu held the knife and looked up.

Whatever you need, just ask.

Although Zhao Yu didn't know what had happened, he seemed to see flashes of gold and silver in his mind.

"Ahem, I know him. He probably doesn't need anything," Zhao Yu coughed lightly and looked at Ying Liang who was sitting upright. "But he still can't have too much money."

As for Zhang Yuan, Zhao Yu knew this person very well.

A ruthless man who is willing to sell his head with her for one thousand taels of gold.

But Zhang Yuan was also very generous and gave her some of the money from selling the head.

He's a very suitable partner. His eyes fell on the long sword hanging from Ying Liang's waist, and Zhao Yu's eyes were full of stars: "Brother, if you can sell the swords he refines for a good price and make his name known, I think he will be satisfied."

The second brother helped Zhang Yuan sell paintings, the eldest brother helped Zhang Yuan sell swords, and he helped Zhang Yuan count money.

It seems like their family is working for Zhang Yuan?
Zhao Yu thought that it could be thought of the other way around.

Zhang Yuan worked hard every day to forge weapons and paint scrolls, and his family easily sold them and made a profit from the difference.

It seems that this way, I feel much better?

Ying Liang was stunned and looked down at the sword at his waist.

Was this sword forged by Black Tiger himself?

Reach out and grasp the long sword at your waist.

“Clang—”

The long sword was unsheathed, and everyone's eyes fell on the two ancient words engraved on the front of the sword.

Shen Feng.

Ying Liang turned the sword over, and two more words appeared.

Qingyang.

At this moment, except for Zhao Yu, everyone in the hall had the long shout from the river in their minds.

"Zhang Qingyang, commander of the Black Ice Platform in Zhengyang County of the Great Qin, respectfully awaits the arrival of all the members of the Heavenly Demon Palace of Northern Yan."

There is another sentence.

"Enter my Qin territory and leave your life behind."

Zhang Qingyang, the commander of the Black Ice Platform Army in Zhengyang County of the Qin Dynasty.

……

Martial arts, at the school gate.

Zhao Yu held a long sword and watched Zhang Yuan walking towards him quickly.

"Your knife."

Handing over the knife, Zhao Yu said softly, "Thank you very much."

On the way, she heard people talking about what happened in Prince Zhao's Mansion last night, and roughly understood that it was Zhang Yuan who helped catch the bandits.

She has always known Zhang Yuan's strength, otherwise she would not have thought of asking Zhang Yuan to escort her aunt to Beiyan.

Zhang Yuan took the knife, hung it around his waist, and walked into the school according to the handle.

Zhao Yu followed behind and whispered, "I sold the Jade Buddha Bodhi, and also the Shenfeng Sword..."

As she spoke, she stuffed a stack of folded gold notes into Zhang Yuan's hand.

"I didn't take a commission this time, so I worked for you for free. Next time, I will take a commission."

"By the way, when will you draw some more pictures?"

Outside the school gate, Hu Tang and Hong Yang looked at each other.

Zhang Yuan did not return home all night.

Zhang Yuan's knife is in Zhao Yu's hand.

They seemed to understand something.

"As expected of my brother Zhang..."

……

When Zuoqiu Ren walked into the school with a roll of battle formation diagram, the originally noisy school suddenly became silent.

Zuoqiu Ren glanced over and looked at Zhang Yuan standing in the crowd.

Zhang Nineteen.

Zhang Shijiu who can lead the army to fight against the yellow lion.

Before, Zuo Qiuren thought that Zhang Shijiu was recommended by Ji Yuntang because of his relationship with the Princess of Zhaowang Mansion.

Now I see that I underestimated Zhang Shijiu.

"In today's class, I will use Confucianism and Taoism to help you truly understand why martial arts formation diagrams are so popular in the world."

"Bring your formation diagram and follow me."

After saying that, he walked straight out of the school.

Everyone hurried to catch up.

In just a moment, everyone stood in front of a stone house.

Zhang Yuan looked up at the stone house.

Isn’t this the place where Ji Yuntang brought him before to show the formation diagram?

Walking into the stone house, Zuoqiu Ren looked at the students whose faces were filled with curiosity.

"I will lead you into this illusion."

"After entering the illusion, the power your battle formation can display depends on your own drawing skills and understanding of the battle formation."
