Unparalleled Concubine

Princess Jiu didn't care much about these things. After all, she was born in the royal family since she was a child, and she is not too sensitive to things like titles. Hearing this, she just smiled and didn't say much.

After the brothers and sisters ate for a while, the emperor stood up lazily, and smiled at Princess Jiu: "Okay, Xiao Jiu, I still have things to do here, so you go to the harem to greet the mother, her old man But as I said, you haven't entered the palace to see her for a few days."

The nine princesses got up and saluted: "My sister obeys the order."

………………

In June of the third year of Taikang, the weather was scorching hot, and the air was slightly distorted because of the dry heat.

On the official road to the west of the capital, a huge convoy of more than a dozen horse-drawn carriages gave up on their journey because of the heat, and stopped under a herbal tea shop to drink tea.

However, there were too many people in this group, there were nearly [-] people, and the stall owner of the herbal tea shop was busy, but he couldn't deliver a bowl of tea to each of them.

However, each of the imperial guards had their own water bag, and they each found a few shady places to rest and wipe their sweat.

The people from the Habayashi guards were also very hot, each looking for a place to rest, Xiao Zheng and a few people from the inner guards were sitting at the herbal tea stand, drinking the herbal tea in big gulps.

Fatty Ji Ku and his concubines were also sitting under the herbal tea shop.

In the whole convoy, only the carriage belonging to Pingnanhou Li Shen remained silent. The husband and wife were bored in the carriage and did not come out.

The Marquis of Jing'an couldn't bear the weather either, so he sat in front of the carriage to rest, and the little guy Zhao Fang sat beside Li Xin, fanning Li Xin vigorously.

Li Xinxin wiped his sweat with his sleeve, turned his head to look at Zhao Fang, and said with a smile, "Is it hot?"

This kind of weather may not be unacceptable to the children of ordinary families, but Zhao Fang is the grandson of the Li family in Zhaojun. Since he was a child, his family always has ice in the summer, and the Li family in Zhaojun is in the north. , the summer will not be as hot as the capital here.

The little guy's forehead was covered with sweat, he shook his head and said, "It's not hot."

Lord Jing'an patted his head, and said with a smile, "Fan yourself, don't miss the capital, and die of heat outside the capital, if you really are going to die of heat, the fate between us will be great."

He died of freezing, if Zhao Fang died of heat, they would really be destined.

The little guy naturally couldn't understand the meaning of Li Xin's words, he fanned himself a few times, and let out a long breath.

"Teacher, how long will it take to arrive in the capital?"

Li Xin pointed to the east, and said, "Did you see it?"

The little guy stood up, but didn't see anything, so he climbed a little higher, climbed to the top of the carriage, and looked as far as the eye could see.

In the east, there is a big city standing proudly.

The city walls of this great city were rebuilt after Emperor Wu of the Jin Dynasty ruled the world. The highest part is five or six feet high, and the shortest part is three or four feet high.

Not to mention anything else, at least at the moment, this capital is truly the most powerful city in the world.

The little guy was watching from the top of the carriage, while Li Xin sat below and said with a smile, "See."

"I see."

Zhao Fang muttered to himself: "What a big city..."

When Zhao Fang was born, the Northern Zhou Dynasty had already perished. He had never been to the capital of the Northern Zhou Dynasty.

Lord Jing'an also stood up, and leisurely glanced at the capital not far away.

"[-]% of the conspiracies and tricks in the world are all in this big city."

He looked up at Zhao Fang and smiled.

"Looking at the distance, we should be able to reach the capital tonight."

"Are you afraid?"

Chapter 609 I'm Back

Little Zhao Fang is only nine years old this year, no matter how prodigy he is, he can't fully understand the meaning of Li Xin's words, but Li Xin really expresses his feelings.

This city is the dragon head of the world, most of the world's affairs can be decided by the will of this city, and because of this, most of the world's minds and most of the filth are in this city.

And His Royal Highness King Wei has been sitting on that high dragon chair for more than two years. Li Xin has been away from Beijing for a year and a half. He doesn't know that his former partner has changed in that position in this city. What did it look like.

After all, Zhao Fang was a child of a noble family. After standing on the roof of the carriage and looking at it for a while, he felt that his behavior was a little disrespectful, so he climbed down carefully and sat next to Li Xin.

"Teacher, I will start standing with you tomorrow, okay?"

Li Xin was thinking about something at first, when he heard this, he turned his head to look at the child, and said with a smile, "Why, don't you dislike this?"

Hundreds of years ago, when the world was admiring martial arts, most of these descendants of the aristocratic clan practiced martial arts, but for hundreds of years, as Confucian classics became popular, these descendants of the aristocratic clan who studied and passed down their families gradually dropped their weapons and specialized in learning. However, none of these Northern Zhou clans looked up to generals or warriors, and it was Ye Guogong who woke them up in one fell swoop more than 30 years ago.

This little boy from the Li family in Zhaojun had no idea of ​​learning martial arts at first, but for some reason, he suddenly brought it up.

He grinned at Li Xin: "Since the teacher said that the capital city is dangerous, the disciple must learn more skills. Originally, the disciple was not very willing to learn martial arts, but the teacher is a smart person. Since the teacher keeps practicing every day, he always It makes sense."

Li Xin gave this little kid a blank look.

"I practiced this in the early years to grow my body, and now it is to strengthen my body. What are you practicing for?"

Zhao Fang said with a smile: "Disciples have to live longer, otherwise I'm afraid I won't be able to establish a family and business in this capital."

Li Xin cursed with a smile, and patted the kid on the head.

"Since you want to learn, when you enter Beijing, I will take you to meet the master who taught me boxing. If he agrees to teach you, I will teach you."

The set of fists that Wang Zhong passed on to Li Xin was not all about stances, but also a set of coordinating breathing skills. Although Li Xin hadn't developed any internal skills, his body was much better after all, so he felt that even if he wanted to pass it on to others, I also have to ask what Old Wang Zhong meant.

Zhao Fang nodded deeply.

The two talked for a while, and it was already past noon. The sun turned from south to west. Although the weather was still sultry, it was not so difficult. Shao Jian ran all the way to Li Xin, bowed his head and said, "Master Hou, look Are we leaving now?"

Li Xin looked up at the sky, and said with a smile: "The weather is still so hot, and my brothers are all wearing armor. Walking at this time is too exhausting."

Xiao Zheng wiped the sweat from his forehead, said with a wry smile: "Master Hou, if you hurry now, you will probably be able to enter the capital in the evening, otherwise you will have to delay another day, and you will not be able to live outside the city today, right?"

Li Xin said indifferently: "It doesn't matter if you are late for a day, and even if you arrive in the capital later, you just have to ask to open the city gate. If you are rushing at this hour, if someone dies due to heatstroke, it will not look good."

In the final analysis, Li Xin was the leader of this team. The five hundred imperial guards and more than 100 Habayashi guards, even Xiao Zheng could not give orders. If Li Xin said no, the team would not be able to leave.

Therefore, Xiao Zheng didn't insist too much. He looked up at Li Xin, then lowered his head deeply, and said, "Master Hou, this servant has a few words to say to Master Hou."

Li Xin smiled lightly, turned to Zhao Fang and said, "There are still some brothers over there who haven't had herbal tea, you go and send some tea over there, don't let them suffer from heat stroke."

Zhao Fang tactfully jumped out of the carriage and ran away.

Only then did Xiao Zheng speak: "Master Hou, regarding His Royal Highness King Qin... His Majesty has orders."

Li Xin blinked and asked, "Is there a purpose?"
