Chapter 382: Yan Zhao

"Haven't you heard of the title of Princess Yan Zhao, the first martial arts genius in Daxing?"

"The sun and the moon are not as bright as Yan Zhao."

"Haven't you heard of this sentence?"

Emperor Yongyuan looked at Li Xuan with a look of looking at a spy from an enemy country, as if he would ask Zhao Feng to capture him and send him to the Ministry of Internal Affairs for a thorough interrogation.

Even when Li Xuan didn't know the founding emperor of Daxing before, Emperor Yongyuan didn't react like this.

"Yan Zhao, princess?"

"The second one is not a prince, but a princess!?"

Li Xuan leaned back slightly, his expression dull.

Emperor Yongyuan and Empress Wu were both sure that the one who could not pose a threat to other princes and princesses was actually a princess.

And she was also known as the first martial arts genius in Daxing.

Even that poem sounded quite extraordinary.

"Is the glory of the sun and the moon not as good as this Princess Yan Zhao?"

Looking at Li Xuan's reaction, Emperor Yongyuan shook his head and smiled:

"It seems that you have never heard of Yan Zhao's name."

"There are people in Daxing who really don't know her."

"Even if it's a cat or a dog, passers-by will definitely mention it a few times."

Li Xuan rolled his eyes at Emperor Yongyuan, and naturally heard that he was teasing his little cat.

Shang Zongguan and Zhao Feng on the side also breathed a sigh of relief.

At least the atmosphere now is much more harmonious than before.

"Your Majesty is finally in the mood to joke."

And Li Xuan didn't care too much about Emperor Yongyuan's joke, but asked seriously:

"Among all the royal heirs, who do you think is the second princess the most?"

"How talented is she?"

Even though Emperor Yongyuan had previously popularized Daxing's twin saints to Li Xuan, it also showed that Daxing had a precedent of female emperors.

But Emperor Yongyuan also said that men would ascend the throne later.

What kind of magic does Princess Yan Zhao have that is enough to make people break this traditional concept?

"It just so happened that a letter from Yan Zhao was sent back not long ago."

When saying this, Emperor Yongyuan's face actually showed a helpless and bitter smile.

Emperor Yongyuan stretched out his fingers and simply gestured a few numbers to Li Xuan.

"Sixteen years old, fourth rank."

Li Xuan stayed where he was, losing the ability to react.

Emperor Yongyuan supported his chin and silently admired Li Xuan's reaction.

After a long time, Li Xuan turned his head stiffly to look at Shang Zongguan, and then turned his head to look at Emperor Yongyuan.

"That's right, Yan Zhao successfully broke through in the forbidden area of ​​​​Qianren Sword Pavilion not long ago and became a fourth-rank master like Zhao Zongguan."

"Sixteen-year-old princess, fourth-rank strength."

"With the support of the Wu family, who can compete with her?"

Emperor Yongyuan told the facts calmly.

For his daughter's excellence, Emperor Yongyuan could do nothing.

If Princess Yan Zhao was not born by Empress Wu, Emperor Yongyuan would be so happy.

Unfortunately, there are not so many ifs in this world.

Emperor Yongyuan sighed and continued:

"In recent years, Empress Wu has been using her and her family's influence to promote the second female emperor of Daxing to ascend the throne."

"I dared to help Ankang become the female emperor before, in fact, there are many reasons in this regard."

"I have to say that Empress Wu went very smoothly and cleared many obstacles on the way to the female emperor's ascension to the throne."

Li Xuan couldn't help but glance at Emperor Yongyuan, and said in his heart:

"I said you are so generous."

"You are generous to others, and you want Ankang to pick the peaches of Empress Wu and Princess Yan Zhao."

Emperor Yongyuan's face was as thick as a wall. He was stared at by Li Xuan like this, and he just pretended not to see it.

But now is not the time to care about these things. It's really too scary to be a fourth-grade at the age of sixteen.

"You haven't been practicing so hard since your mother's womb, right?"

When Li Xuan heard these two numbers, he felt powerless.

It's hard for others to compete with such a monster.

It should be said that the concubines and princes and princesses in the palace are really able to withstand pressure.

Seeing the solemn look on Xiaomao's face, Emperor Yongyuan was afraid that Li Xuan would scare him back, and added quietly:

"Just now you asked me, what is the meaning of the Imperial Garden Competition? Why would anyone regard Ankang as a threat?"

"Although Empress Wu and the Wu family are powerful, they are not completely sure about promoting the enthronement of the empress."

"Others will naturally try every means to stop it and gamble on the seemingly illusory possibility."

"And now the Imperial Garden Competition has been understood as my concern. Whoever can make a separate New Year's visit next year will get my support."

"And I started this Imperial Garden Competition when the second brother was away."

Emperor Yongyuan said with a smile:

"This is enough to make people imagine."

When Li Xuan saw Emperor Yongyuan holding back a lot of bad water, he didn't like it.

It was estimated that everything was almost the same as Li Xuan's guess.

Emperor Yongyuan was just playing tricks, and the others were fooled as well.

The prizes offered by Emperor Yongyuan were really too tempting.

After all, Emperor Yongyuan was the one sitting on the throne, and his thoughts were naturally the most important to the vacant position of the crown prince.

But thinking back to the Imperial Garden competitions, Li Xuan already understood that Emperor Yongyuan had already begun to secretly manipulate the competitions.

This can be seen from the prizes they won after winning the competitions, as well as the subsequent competitions.

Now think about it, the connection between the prize and the next competition is simply too deliberate.

This situation became more and more complicated as Emperor Yongyuan talked about it. Li Xuan had already begun to have a headache, and it was difficult for this guy to worry about this kind of thing every day.

Li Xuan didn't want to listen to his details anymore and asked directly:

"In other words, your current enemy is Queen Wu."

"You don't want Empress Wu to successfully establish Princess Luzhao as empress, are you afraid that the Wu family's power will further expand and threaten the Li family and even the Daxing Dynasty in the future?"

Empress Wu and the Wu family behind her, Li Xuan knew it was not a small role.

But when faced with Li Xuan's question, Emperor Yongyuan shook his head:

"There are more pressing matters to deal with than the Queen."

"Um???"

Li Xuan felt bad and wondered how Emperor Yongyuan was still the emperor today.

Over the years, Emperor Yongyuan had never been so shameless, let alone in front of a cat.

He felt that he had been embarrassed enough today, and immediately prepared to end today's topic.

As long as they establish a win-win cooperative relationship first, today's task will be considered successfully completed.

As for other things, there will be plenty of time to discuss them in detail later.

"To put it simply, when I came to the throne, I had an uncle who was the regent prince."

"Right now, we need to solve the problem of the emperor's uncle more than the queen."

"The two managers will communicate with you about the specific details."

"Today, let's focus on celebrating what we have reached."

Emperor Yongyuan said, regardless of whether Li Xuan agreed or not, he pulled one of Li Xuan's cat paws and touched it with his own palm, completing the "high five".

After finally witnessing this crucial scene, the four eunuchs on the side also breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Xuan was speechless and complained silently:

"Isn't this too casual?"

…

"Axuan, you don't even know how worried I was for you just now."

"You must be obedient and behave yourself in front of His Majesty from now on."

"That is to say, there are only a few of us old slaves today. Otherwise, if there are others here, how can you put His Majesty's face?"

In a side hall of Ganlu Hall, Zhao Feng chattered endlessly.

There were also Manager Shang and Mr. Ye accompanying him, but one of them was smiling and sipping tea, while the other was closing his eyes to rest.

Li Xuan was verbose about Zhao Feng, going in his left ear and out his right ear, yawning and wiping his eyes, lazily.

After Li Xuan and Emperor Yongyuan high-fived each other and made an alliance, Emperor Yongyuan left in a hurry on the pretext of something else, leaving him to the three old eunuchs.

"So, this is it?"

"You haven't told me exactly what to do?"

Li Xuan tapped his tail and wrote in the void, tilting his head with a look of confusion.

He had received so much information today that his little head could hardly turn.

Rather than telling him the intricacies of the current situation, Li Xuan wanted to know what Emperor Yongyuan wanted him to do next?

Of course, Li Xuan didn't want to sacrifice his life for Emperor Yongyuan. If the situation was not right, he could only worry about the safety of their Jingyang Palace first.

But now they are caught in the middle by several waves of forces, like duckweeds in the wind, they can only drift in the wind.

The three little ones don't have the ability to "make the wind" yet, so for the time being they can only rely on Emperor Yongyuan's wind.

"Axuan, your symbolic significance is far greater than your actual significance now."

"So, you should just practice hard next."

"Whenever there is a need for you to come out, Feng'er and I will convey His Majesty's orders as soon as possible."

Manager Shang said gently from the side.

He knew that there were too many things for Li Xuan to accept slowly today, and it would take a few days to digest them.

"correct."

Li Xuan remembered something and turned to look at Mr. Ye.

Ye Laoruo felt something and slowly opened a slit in his eyes.

"Mr. Ye, I have finished practicing those two techniques, and I haven't finished practicing the next ones yet."

Li Xuan has completed the cultivation of the sixth-grade Qi Sensing Realm, and he needs the fifth-grade technique to continue practicing.

But now, there is still some time before their next trip to Qianxing Pavilion. If this window period is only used to consolidate their cultivation, Li Xuan feels a bit wasteful.

It happened that Mr. Ye was here today, so he wanted Mr. Ye to take him to Qianxing Pavilion to choose the appropriate technique.

"Your Majesty summoned me today for this very reason."

As Mr. Ye said, a black-covered book of exercises suddenly appeared in his hand, but there were no words on it.

Moreover, the cover of this technique is also somewhat special. There is a special brilliance flowing on it, and the material is obviously unusual.

"I have brought you the fifth-level exercises that are suitable for you. You can read them here and then return them to me."

"I know you have a photographic memory, so read a book."

After finishing speaking, Mr. Ye put the secret book on the table, closed his eyes again, and then uttered another sentence.

"The fifth level is called the Qi Control Realm. This state can be achieved by condensing the true Qi, transforming the Qi Control into form, and exerting it outside the body."

After saying this, Ye Laocai closed his eyes again to rest his mind and said no more.

Manager Shang and Zhao Feng looked at the black secret book on the table with stern eyes.

Obviously they also knew about this thing, but they didn't say much, they just watched and waited silently.

Li Xuan didn't waste any time and couldn't wait to open the page of the exercises.

【Yin Yang Zhenji Jue】

Turning to the first page, the name of the exercise was clearly displayed.

"The name of the technique is quite overbearing."

Li Xuan nodded with satisfaction and continued to read.

Although he had the blessing of talent, it took him a full quarter of an hour to turn to the last page of the technique.

Li Xuan closed his eyes and concentrated, and a piece of information appeared in his mind.

[Yin Yang Zhen Ji Jue: 1%]

After successfully recording the technique, Li Xuan was in a good mood.

"It's a good technique, but why is there no moves?"

The content of Yin Yang Zhen Ji Jue is mainly to absorb the power of the five elements of heaven and earth, nourish the Yin Yang Qi in the body, and then there are many control methods.

But Li Xuan didn't see any specific moves after looking through the entire secret book.

"This technique only increases attributes, not skills?"

Li Xuan rolled up the technique with his tail and sent it to Mr. Ye.

Mr. Ye opened his eyes again, reached out to take the secret book, and the next moment the secret book disappeared.

"Mr. Ye, why is there no moves in this technique?"

"Are there any other fifth-grade techniques for me to refer to?"

Li Xuan also wanted to pick out the most suitable one from a group of techniques as before.

As a result, Elder Ye actually shook his head and said calmly:

"There is only this one fifth-grade Yin-Yang attribute technique."

Li Xuan was stunned, thinking that he had heard it wrong.

There are so many secret books in Qianxing Pavilion, but there is only one fifth-grade Yin-Yang attribute technique?

According to his original idea, Qianxing Pavilion should have gathered most of the techniques in Daxing.

Is the Yin-Yang attribute technique really so rare?

At this time, Elder Ye continued to explain:

"If the Daxing royal family was not the descendant of the Twin Saints, you would not even be able to practice this one."

Er Ye glanced at Li Xuan, as if to say that Li Xuan did not know how to appreciate his blessings.

"This technique was created by the Twin Saints. After you master it, you can learn all the techniques in the world without any restrictions."

When Old Ye said this, he was silent for a moment, and then said:

"But you have to feel it yourself."

"After all, I have only read the secret book, but never practiced it."

Shang Zongguan heard the regret of Old Ye and took over the topic at the right time.

"Ah Xuan, according to ancient books, every warrior with Yin and Yang Qi has a very different way of promotion."

"It seems that their practice is beyond ordinary warriors and is extraordinary."

"I heard that every owner of Yin and Yang Qi has walked out of his own special path."

"The book you just read is the technique passed down by the Twin Saints. It may be of reference significance to you at this stage, but I believe you will also walk out of your own different path in the future."

After listening to Shang Zongguan's words, Li Xuan also seemed to understand.

It sounds like the owner of Yin and Yang Qi will be very different from ordinary warriors in future practice.

"Walk out of your own unique path?"

But Li Xuan has long been accustomed to using his talents to continuously advance his progress. Suddenly he was asked to find a path that belongs to him. He has no idea now.

"Never mind!"

"I will just progress now. It won't be too late to think about these things when there are no more skills to practice in the future."
