Qin Shi Huang: Swordsmanship begins with picking up Xiao Meng

Chapter 61 Honglian's plan, gathering in Xinzheng
Princess mansion!
Honglian, feeling extremely embarrassed, rushed back as quickly as possible and immediately said to the maid:
"Go, call the swordsmanship master!"

"Yes!"

The maid left in response. Not long after, a middle-aged woman came in and bowed respectfully to Honglian.
"Your Highness!"

"You said that this princess is already a top-notch expert in the martial arts world?"

Honglian's pretty face turned stern and she stared at the woman in front of her.

This woman was sent by King Han to play house with Honglian. What else could she say in the face of this question?
Therefore, although she could see that something was wrong with Honglian's expression, she could only continue to speak against her conscience:

"Your Highness is gifted and truly a top-notch martial arts expert."

"Still trying to deceive this princess!"

Thinking of how she had embarrassed herself in front of Jiang Yu, Honglian couldn't help but get angry:

"I was just sparring with someone, and that person, while only having decent swordsmanship, beat me so hard I couldn't fight back. What do you have to say about that?"

"Ah, this..."

The middle-aged woman then realized what had gone wrong and cursed inwardly.

That brainless guy, didn't he know the princess's identity? How dare he actually fight with her?

Now that the trick has been exposed, we are in big trouble!
Seeing the woman whimpering, Honglian, who had now completely confirmed the truth, could not help but become even angrier:

"How dare you all team up to deceive this princess."

"Your Highness, please spare your life!"

At this point, the woman had no choice but to kneel down and explained in panic:

"It is true that martial arts training is too arduous and dangerous, so the king has strictly ordered us to do so for the sake of your highness's safety. I hope your highness can understand our difficulties and forgive me this time."

Of course, there was another reason the woman didn't dare to tell, which was that it was not decent for a princess to imitate the people in the martial arts world and fight and kill all day long.

"It's the stinky father again!"

When Honglian heard that the instigator was Queen Han, her anger subsided a lot. She just stamped her feet and said unconvincedly:
"Learning martial arts is difficult and dangerous, this princess is not afraid of it."

Then he looked at the woman again:

"If you want me to spare you, it's not impossible. Come with me!"

Let's talk. Honglian took the lead and walked out. He asked the servant to bring a wooden sword. Finally, he brought the uneasy woman to a rockery and pointed at it and said:
"If you teach me how to use a wooden sword to split this rockery in one stroke, I will spare your life."

"what?"

The woman was stunned when she heard this. She was just a dancing sword girl in the palace, how could she have such amazing skills?

"Ah for what?"

Honglian thought that this woman was still subject to the orders of King Han, so she added:

"Just discipline me. No matter how hard, tiring, or dangerous it is, this princess is not afraid."

Having finally seen real swordsmanship, how could Honglian, who was obsessed with it, be willing to miss it?

"Your Highness, I really don't have the ability to do that!"

The woman knelt down again and said with a sad face:

"Being able to split such a large rockery with a wooden sword, this person is truly a mountain-top figure in the entire world. Even in South Korea, I'm afraid there are not enough people like him on both hands."

"Nonsense!"

Do you still think you are as gullible as before?

"The man who defeated me was only moderately skilled, but you are the chief swordsman in the palace. How could you not know how to do it? This princess thinks you just don't want to teach me, right?"

"Your Highness, I was appointed Chief Sword Master by the King to gain your trust."

The helpless woman could only continue to talk, "What people in the martial arts world call 'tolerable strength' is actually just a humble statement made by those at the peak of martial arts. The two cannot be compared at all."

"Humble words?"

Honglian recalled that Jiang Yu was not much older than herself, and still found it hard to believe:

"Is that guy really that powerful?"

"Your Highness, if the man you're talking about really used only a wooden sword to split open such a large rockery, then his strength must be even stronger than what I've said."

The woman with a strong desire to survive continued:
"I have seen a leader of the Mohist School display his power before, but he was not as powerful as the one you described. If you really want to learn martial arts, why not ask this person to teach you?"

Anyway, the disaster was caused by this bastard, so let the princess learn sword from him. When the king comes to investigate, he will be the first one to find.

"Makes sense!"

Honglian's eyes lit up when she heard that, and she was about to run to find Jiang Yu.

But just as he turned around, Honglian remembered something and stopped and ordered:
"Go, quickly prepare the apprenticeship gift for this princess. Remember to make it generous."

Since you want to become my disciple, how can you come empty-handed?
"Yes Yes!"

The woman wiped the sweat from her forehead. She finally got through it. She couldn't help but secretly rejoice:
Fortunately, I serve Princess Honglian, who has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. She often says harsh words but rarely keeps her word.

Otherwise, she would be skinned alive today if she didn't die!
After that, the woman did not dare to delay and hurried over to prepare gifts.

the other side!
Led by their guards, Jiang Yu and Han Fei came to the house given to Jiang Yu and started to stroll around.

"Brother Jiang, what do you think of this house? Are you satisfied?"

"I'm more than satisfied. It's completely beyond my expectations."

Jiang Yu didn't expect that Honglian would directly ask her for such a large manor.

Especially since the previous owner seemed to be from the military, and the training ground and other facilities were all available, which made things a lot more convenient for him.

"Hahaha, as long as Brother Jiang is satisfied."

Han Fei put his hand on Jiang Yu's shoulder and said with a chuckle:
"It's just the joy of this overseas Chinese migration, Brother Jiang, are we?"

"Brother Han, I have some things to do this afternoon, so I really don't have time to accompany you, gentleman!"

Jiang Yu is really afraid of Han Fei. You need to pretend to be an alcoholic, but I don’t need it.

"All right!"

Han Fei had no choice but to say goodbye with regret:

"Since Brother Jiang is busy, I won't bother you anymore. Please come visit us often when you have time!"

"sure!"

After seeing Han Fei off, Jiang Yu returned to the hall. The hundredfold compensation promised by Honglian was placed in the hall, and it had not been reduced because of the gift of a valuable manor.

"This princess is quite interesting!"

I think that sword strike of mine will yield good results.

at the same time!

On the road

A man is riding a horse, with his hair tied up in a high crown. Half of the hair hanging down in front of his forehead covers one eye, making him look gloomy.

Next to him, there was a carriage. Inside the carriage, a woman in a light blue dress sat upright, meditating and practicing quietly. A veil hung from her hairpin. Who else could it be but the Moon Goddess?

Not long after they passed by, another lone ranger passed by, followed by people from the north, and even some Hu people!
And their destinations are all the same!

Xinzheng!
