one's door

Guo Yulong was also observing Zhang Yan.

The ordinary reveals the extraordinary!But more can't be seen clearly, like a mystery.This is what Guo Yulong thinks of Zhang Yan.

Obviously there is no trace of a warrior at all, but it can give Guo Yulong a strong sense of threat.The seemingly contradictory feelings just confirmed a judgment of the outside world about Zhang Yan: the method Zhang Yan knows is another way of cultivation that is completely different from the warrior system.At the same time, it also explains why those methods such as bone strengthening pills and medicine for refining skin and flesh have never been known.

"Hahaha, Zhang Jiaoxi is such a strange person, even if this king has only just arrived in Nanyuan Kingdom, he has already longed for him like thunder. Now that he sees him, he is indeed the best among people, far better than the rumors!"

"Prince Long is absurd. Some of Zhang's poor names are not worth mentioning."

"That's because Zhang Jiaoxi is too modest. The king was surprised and admired just by hearing about the bone-strengthening pill. This kind of method is definitely unprecedented, not to mention unprecedented! It will also change the history of warriors for thousands of years An important treasure of the unchanging cultivation system..."

Compliment?Yes.But not all.Because Guo Yulong just took out Zhang Yan's skills and recounted it.It's not to give Zhang Yan a hand too much, but to leave a goodwill.After all, Guo Yulong also sent an invitation to Zhang Yan, please note that if you have time to study in Huayue Kingdom, he will personally accompany you.

This face is given enough.

But none of that is the point.The point is the reason why Zhang Yan suddenly appeared in Yuanding Imperial City this time.You must know that Guo Yulong believed that the purpose of Nanyuan Kingdom's confidence and delay was in Zhang Yan's bone-strengthening pill, and he hoped that he would use the bone-strengthening pill to sharpen his guns and bring up a few good royal children.So he called Guo Xu, the seventh prince of Huayue Kingdom, from the country just in case.Even Guo Xu's arrival is not a regular port.Nanyuan Kingdom is still in the dark.

But if relying on the Bone Strengthening Pill, there is no need for Zhang Yan to come here in person.

After receiving the news that Zhang Yan was about to enter the imperial city, Guo Yulong asserted that the confidence of the royal family of Nanyuan Kingdom was definitely not only the bone-strengthening pill in Zhang Yan's hands, but also depended on Zhang Yan.

That's why I came here temporarily to find out the details of Zhang Yan, and to try to see if Zhang Yan could change his mind.

Chapter 287 Awareness

Before the cup of tea was cooled, Zhang Yan and his party took their leave, boarded the carriage again and ran towards the direction of Yuanding Imperial City. They didn't talk to Guo Yulong much, and they didn't even go back all the way with him.

This time the conversation was of little substance.Zhang Yan gave face to the other party, and the other party also wanted to make a good relationship. At the same time, he tried Zhang Yan's attitude, and wanted to see if he could stop the backhand that the Nanyuan Kingdom royal family had placed on Zhang Yan.Unfortunately, it didn't work out.

Of course, Guo Yulong was far from disappointed.Although Zhang Yan didn't follow up on all his proposals, it's not surprising.How could a person with such special abilities change course so easily?

"Go back, call Baowen again, and tell her that I have something to ask her." Guo Yulong could feel the confidence from Zhang Yan's heart.Coupled with the sense of threat that the other party gave him for an unclear reason.He thought that his previous understanding of Zhang Yan was still too one-sided or too little.Or it was hidden deep, or there might be something that was overlooked by the people on their side.

Others may not be able to give details, but as Princess Baowen, who personally participated in the competition before, she should have some experience.If Princess Qingling of Nanyuan Kingdom hadn't benefited from it, the royal family of Nanyuan Kingdom would never have believed in Zhang Yan's ability and traveled all the way to find him.

Back at the residence, Guo Yulong saw Princess Baowen who had received the news in advance and was waiting here in the study.

"Baowen, recall carefully what kind of surprises the opponent gave you when you were fighting in the ring. Be careful and think about it from beginning to end."

This is not the first time that Princess Baowen has answered this question. She has written it in her own hand before and passed it on to Huayue. She knows that Guo Yulong must have read it.But now when I ask again, there must be another change.She didn't dare to be careless, she frowned and thought about it carefully.

"At the beginning, I was still pretending, but I was careful enough not to bully me too much. I felt that she might have some ultimate move to fight. After she used the combat skills in the middle stage of the Yuekaiyuan Realm, I knew that she really hid But it was still not enough to win me. After being slowly resisted by me, I forced him to the corner. At that time, I felt that I could win for sure.

Variables appear between lightning and flint.When I was about to take her down with the last blow, she suddenly used a frontal thrusting combat technique that only male warriors would dabble in, dodged my attack, and cut me out of the ring with a backhand..."

Baowen's retelling is almost indistinguishable from what she said earlier.It was also in line with what everyone outside the venue witnessed at the time.

But Guo Yulong shook his head.He always felt that something was overlooked by Baowen.

"Continue to talk about it later." I couldn't think of anything wrong, but there was a feeling of being on my back.Guo Yulong didn't ask Princess Baowen to stop, but asked her to continue talking about the rest of the story.

Although Princess Baowen didn't know the meaning of continuing to talk, Guo Yulong's majesty was on display here, so she didn't dare to say anything more, so she could only continue: "I was cut off from the ring and fell a long way. He was not caught by the referee on the side, the impact force on the chest and the impact on the back spurted out a mouthful of blood, and then passed out quickly, he was relieved by taking a bottle of 'Wen Xin San' Come on..."

"Wait a minute." Guo Yulong suddenly interrupted Princess Baowen's narration, her eyes seemed to be shining brightly, she was silent for a moment as if she was thinking about something in her head, and then asked: "The display of combat skills depends on the stimulation of vitality. , as well as the toughness and endurance of flesh and blood. The girl in Nanyuan Kingdom relied on the "Method of Refining Skin and Flesh with Medicine" taught by Zhang Yan to increase her flesh and flesh toughness and endurance to the point where she could leapfrog combat skills.

but.The basis for using combat skills is based on one's own vitality realm!In other words, for the same combat skill, even if she used it by leapfrogging, the power would definitely not be the same as that used by a warrior under normal circumstances.

The power will be much smaller! "

Princess Baowen frowned when she heard this, but she didn't think it through, so she asked, "So?"

Guo Yulong swept away the puzzled expression before, and said with a smile: "So the cut you suffered shouldn't have hurt you to that extent. At most, it just cut you out of the ring, so you won't get hurt."

"But..." Princess Baowen also understood the problem.But here comes the question again.She admitted that the logic of what Guo Yulong said was correct, and it was most likely the truth.But is it true that she was seriously injured at the time?How did the opponent do it?

Guo Yulong had already figured it out.He waved his hand, continued to smile and said, "No need. You don't understand how that girl did it, and neither do I. But it must be the same as Zhang who was hurriedly found by the royal family of Nanyuan Kingdom from Beijiang County this time." Yan can't get rid of the relationship."

"Then what should we do? If there is such a weird method, will something happen to Seventh Brother?" Princess Baowen may not be smart enough, but she knows very well that since the other party has such a weird method, if he "breaks through" in the future Take it out at the time of "Three Passes", what should I do if there is an accident?

"Don't worry. The Seventh Prince's ability is not only at the late stage of the Hundred Refinement Realm. It is also combat skills and experience. Our Huayue Seventh Prince has already learned two secret skills. The children of the royal family may use some means to obtain combat power comparable to the late stage of the Hundred Refining Realm, but it is futile to face the Seventh Prince.

However, preparations must be made.The "Crag Sparrow" I carry with me can just be lent to the Seventh Prince.At that time, I will match him with an inner armor.If Nanyuan Kingdom can't send a disciple from Duanshan to fight, I don't think they have a chance to win. "

Can Nanyuan Kingdom find a warrior in the Duan Mountain Realm among the royal family's children?This is absolutely impossible.Because Nanyuan Kingdom does not have a martial arts pond.If you want to break through the Hundred Refining Realm and step into the Duan Mountain Realm, you can only rely on time.That is, it is impossible to appear on the younger generation.In this regard, Huayue Kingdom has an insurmountable advantage.

Hearing what Guo Yulong said, Princess Baowen smiled again.Leaving aside the inner armor, the "Rock Sparrow" that Guo Yulong referred to was a magical sword.And the Seventh Prince happened to use a knife.With the help of the magic weapon, the strength will increase by at least [-] to [-]%.At that time, even if the opponent also takes the magic weapon, they really need to have the cultivation base of Duanshan to win.

What is safe?Princess Baowen thought this was it.At least with her knowledge, she really couldn't imagine how the Seventh Prince would lose.

If Zhang Yan heard Guo Yulong's analysis here, he would applaud Guo Yulong for his thoughtfulness.But if he listened to Guo Yulong's subsequent countermeasures, he would laugh it off.Because the so-called coping is meaningless in front of Zhang Yan's methods.

Soon, Guo Yulong, who is used to it smoothly, will understand how tricky and weird the unknown methods from the Taoist sect can be.

Chapter 288 Confidence

Yang Sheng originally wanted to meet Zhang Yan in his study room in the palace, but later he heard that Zhang Yan met Guo Yulong before entering the city, and the two chatted briefly in the roadside tea shed. The time was short, but the atmosphere was "harmonious". Although there was nothing substantial, it could be seen that Zhang Yan had no aversion to Guo Yulong or Huayue Kingdom.

So Yang Sheng decided to meet Zhang Yan at the Huawen Hall.

"Zhang Yan sees His Majesty!"

"You don't need to be too polite, Professor Zhang." Yang Sheng got up and walked in front of Zhang Yan, lifted Zhang Yan and bowed, and led Zhang Yan to the seat with a smile on his face, without showing any emperor's airs.

Zhang Yan bowed and bowed in the middle of the salute, but was stopped in the middle of the salute. He had to give the emperor face. He is helping you, so you can pretend to give up with a little effort, but you can't really grit your teeth and insist on finishing the salute.Besides, it was originally a bow, which was his prerogative as a teacher of the martial arts academy.Bowing is not as good as kneeling, it just needs to be meaningful.

"Before I heard Qingling talk about your master's great talent, but now seeing him is better than hearing about it. I have been looking forward to meeting you for a long time. Now I am very happy, hahaha!"

"Your Majesty's absurd praise. Zhang Yan's vulgar means are difficult to be elegant, and Princess Qingling is also talented and intelligent. Zhang Yan just happened to meet her, so she seems to have more skills, but in fact it is the princess's own ability. Zhang Yan is not worthy of His Majesty's praise. "

how to say?I met Guo Yulong before, but now I see Yang Sheng.A prince with real power in the upper kingdom, and an emperor in the lower kingdom, the two are actually almost the same in terms of status.But to Zhang Yan's feeling, Yang Sheng undoubtedly made him feel more sincere.Guo Yulong was still testing him more, while Yang Sheng was simply showing kindness and further wooing him.

"Mr. Zhang, you've come all the way here, and you're exhausted. You should have had more rest, but time is running out. It's less than a month before the second round of fighting with Hua Yueguo is scheduled. This month is also a critical time for my disciples of the royal family of Nanyuan Kingdom to rely on the Bone Strengthening Pill given by my husband to attack the realm. After that, the disciples on our side will be finalized.

And Huayue must have a backup.Although they moved out of the foreign envoy's post house, and did not report all the additions and deletions of the list of diplomatic missions they communicated with, there are quite a few faces among the faces they have entered and exited recently.It should be another manpower transferred from Huayue.

To be honest, I can't afford to lose this time.Also must not lose.It's not just about face, it's about domestic security.Otherwise, those moths hiding in the country are afraid to take the opportunity to make a fuss, and it will be very difficult for the current situation. "

Needless to say.Although Zhang Yan is not at the top of Nanyuan Kingdom's power, he also has some understanding of Nanyuan Kingdom's recent difficulties.Knowing that Yang Sheng's words were to heighten the atmosphere, he must be cautious.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, since Zhang Yan is here, he will definitely do his best. But as for being sure, Zhang Yan dare not say [-]% of it, at most [-]% to [-]%."

Yang Sheng nodded, he was absolutely sure that he had never thought about it.Zhang Yan was able to promise with [-]% to [-]% certainty in front of him, which was much better than he expected.He thought that Zhang Yan would not dare to mention the word "sure".Now it seems that Zhang Yan's confidence far exceeds his expectations.

"Then please Mr. Zhang."

As Yang Sheng said, he really got up and wanted to salute Zhang Yan.As a result, Zhang Yan's reaction was half a beat slower, and he only had time to support Yang Sheng half of his movements.I sighed in my heart: This emperor is really willing to let go.

It didn't take long for this meeting to talk about serious business.But just in time for the meal, Yang Sheng kept Zhang Yan for lunch before letting him go.During the meal, Yang Sheng didn't talk to Zhang Yan about the fight in Huayue Kingdom.Instead, he talked about his thirteenth son, Yang Rui.It's like an ordinary parent asking the teacher about his child's situation in the school.Hearing Zhang Yan's evaluation of Yang Rui with "extraordinary talent and great promise", Yang Sheng's face was full of smiles.

Perhaps Yang Sheng would feel that Zhang Yan paid a lot of compliments to Yang Rui in his evaluation, but in fact he didn't.He also doesn't know how rare it is to have a seedling with outstanding cultivation talent.This is true whether it is in the wilderness or on the earth.

In the afternoon, Zhang Yan didn't have much time to spare. He had just been arranged to live in the post house when Princess Qingling came to him.And the two little ones have already run out to play.

Yuan Ding is Yang Rui's territory, and he has long said that he wants to take his brother Shitou to have fun and eat delicious food.Naturally, he will not break his promise.And Wang Nian is even less polite, you know he is willing to share with Yang Rui even the fruit wine he stole from the academy cafeteria, the relationship between them is no longer what it was when they were fighting.

Princess Qingling still behaved like she was in the martial arts academy, performing the etiquette of the students in a well-behaved manner.The first is to greet the teacher, and the second is to tell Zhang Yan the specific details of "Passing the Three Passes", as well as the basic situation of the royal children who are most likely to be sent out from Nanyuan Kingdom.These were all things that Zhang Yan had never mentioned before when he met the emperor.

It can be seen that Princess Qingling is no longer a fringe figure in the royal family of Nanyuan Kingdom, but has become famous in the first battle and has been entrusted with important tasks by Yang Sheng.Otherwise, how could this kind of thing be her turn?

"Teacher, are you going to use the paper that you gave me before?" Princess Qingling asked curiously after introducing the situation.

"Hehe, it's different. Your opponent last time was only at the late stage of Yuan Kai, and she was defenseless against your methods. So you can win the match by a narrow margin with a "Yellow Turban Luxor Talisman" fight.

But things are different now. Although the "Yellow Turban Lishi Talisman" is not likely to be seen through by the people of Huayue Kingdom, it is unlikely to be fooled by the help it gives you at critical times.But if the people of Huayue Kingdom pay more attention, they can definitely find out the clues.There will be corresponding responses.

Or use external force to offset the effect of the "Yellow Turban Luxor Talisman".Or just directly widen the strength gap between the two sides, making it difficult to shake them even with the help of the "Yellow Turban Warrior Talisman".I think these two responses will never be too difficult for Huayue Kingdom's foundation. "

Yellow Turban Lux Amulet?Princess Qingling silently wrote down the name in her heart.Only then did she know the name of the thing she swallowed with wine after burning ashes.Just like Zhang Yan's other methods, the names are very weird.

"Teacher, how should we deal with such a situation?"

"You don't have to worry about it. After the Nanyuan Kingdom's list of competitions is finalized, you can take me to see them. Then I will give them an explanation."

Talisman?This is naturally within Zhang Yan's consideration.But it's not just limited to this one aspect.For example, a magic weapon, or more directly cheating in the arena and setting up a magic circle.It's hard to lose then.

Chapter 289

In the days that followed, Zhang Yan was actually not busy.

In addition to the practice and normal practice courses, I will continue to teach the two little ones.This is also the reason why he brought the two boys with him here.This is the beginning of the road, there are too many things to learn, especially about enlightenment, Zhang Yan must always control the direction of the two children, and they cannot be biased when they are laying the foundation up.

But after returning to the imperial city, Yang Rui would naturally have more free time.Zhang Yan was also relieved to let Wang Nian run around with Yang Rui, except for completing his homework, the two children were hardly seen in the posthouse during the rest of the time.

Zhang Yan didn't ask where Yang Rui took Wang Nian, but sometimes Wang Nian would always say "This is delicious!" or "It's a pity, I can't eat it anymore!"

I don't know if this bastard went to rob the imperial dining room.It's been less than half a month since I came here, and I've gained a lot of weight visible to the naked eye.It used to be pebbles, but now it is developing in the direction of cobblestones.

This morning, Wang Nian and Yang Rui disappeared after class.Zhang Yan didn't feel anything at first.But in the afternoon, Wang Nian came back dejected before the meal time, and Zhang Yan felt strange.

Looking again, I saw Wang Nian's mouth was flattened, and his eyes were shining, as if they were covered with teardrops.

Zhang Yan immediately walked over and touched the opponent's little head. It was the first time he saw this little stone showing such an aggrieved expression.

"what happened?"

"Brother! I got into trouble and burned someone's house down."

Zhang Yan frowned when he heard this, and then asked: "Where did you burn it? Why did you burn someone else's house?"

"That's right, it's in the courtyard of Xiao Mutou's house. Xiao Mantou was bullied by someone, I went to help her find a place, those people hid in the house and couldn't come out, Xiao Mantou cried so much, I just wanted to vent her anger , As a result, I accidentally lost control and set the house on fire. Finally, I tried to take them back, but I couldn’t do it. The rest of them burned bigger and bigger, and the house burned down. Just put out the fire."

"Burn someone?"

"No. There were only a few relatives of Xiaomu's family inside. Seeing the fire burning, they jumped out of the back window and ran away. They were not burned.

But brother, my family is so poor, I burned such a big house, my father can't afford it, what should I do? !Wow wow wow..."

For the first time, Zhang Yan saw Wang Nian crying for the first time.Even when he was cleaned up by the golden hoop before, he had never cried like this.The amount of tears was unbelievable, and it was accompanied by a shaking of the head. I don't know whether it was snot or tears that came out.Let Zhang Yan retreat a few feet quickly.

Secretly said: This bastard was originally crying because he was worried that his family would not be able to pay, and felt that he had caused a catastrophe.But the angle of this fear is also different from ordinary people!

"You got into trouble, why did they let you come back?" Zhang Yan was annoyed and funny.Follow Wang Nian's words and plan to clarify the matter first.

"They said they didn't hurt anyone, and they said it wasn't urgent. They knew that I had no money, so they should have let me go back to my parents. Woohooo, brother, what should I do? If my father finds out that I broke into Such a big disaster, you must be so angry."

No matter how bad the little baby is, it can't change the essence of being young.When you encounter things beyond your ability to judge, you will be confused.

"Don't cry. Yang Rui's family has a lot of money. It's just a house. Can your family pay for it? Besides, you still have your second brother Zhang here. Do you need to cry?

All right, find a handkerchief and wipe your face. "

Wang Nian rolled his eyes when he heard the words, and obediently went to find a handkerchief to wipe away the snot and tears on his face.He didn't cry outside before, he held back, and only cried when he came back to see Zhang Yan.

"Brother, Xiaomu is my younger brother. He must have a lot of money with such a big yard. Will he really make me lose money?"

"Yeah. I let you come back, and I'll pay you a fart!" Zhang Yan shook his head and knocked on Wang Nian's forehead with a little force, and gave Wang Nian a small red envelope on the forehead in one fell swoop.The pain made the little kid grin his teeth, but he really didn't cry anymore.

Then I heard Wang Nian talk about how he got into trouble.

These days, Yang Rui and Wang Nian basically played in "Yang Rui's compound".This is easy to understand.After all, the palace is safer than the outside, and it is big enough for two brats to toss about.And the most important thing is that there are a lot of delicious food inside, and there is no need to spend money.This is the main reason why Yang Rui asked Wang Nian to play freely.

If you play more times, you will meet some babies in the palace.Some are princes like Yang Rui, and some are princes who entered the palace to study at the Imperial Forest Academy.There are also some princesses.

But most of these people don't have much idea of ​​getting close to Wang Nian.The main reason is that Wang Nian is too horizontal, and looks vulgar, which is not in line with the rules and regulations of the royal family.

In fact, if Yang Rui hadn't been thrown into the closed environment of Miscellaneous Academy, it would be difficult for him to play with Wang Nian.After all, there are often some barriers between people.

But Wang Nian doesn't care, the nature of a bear child is that you don't want to play with me, and I don't care.

Of course, Wang Nian also met new friends in the palace.A little maid.Work in the imperial dining room, help wash vegetables and do some chores.It was Wang Nian who often went to the imperial dining room these days to know each other.

Wang Nian forgot to ask for his name, but because the other person's face was very round and his skin was very fair, he arbitrarily nicknamed him Xiao Mantou.

This time Wang Nian got into trouble because Xiao Mantou was bullied by several princes and princes, saying that she followed Yang Rui to climb the dragon and become a phoenix. His head was also smashed black and blue.This incident was taken up by Wang Nian, who later discovered Xiao Mantou's injury, and then directly chased him to the Imperial Forest Court, ready to enter.He was persuaded by Yang Rui's good words.

But the two of them didn't just let it go, but ambush halfway.In the end, they really caught the princes and princes who were making small steamed buns.

Not to mention.Yang Rui is really not afraid of things.He hadn't even entered the monk's threshold, and he wasn't a warrior, so he dared to rush after Wang Nian just grabbing a stick, and he was beaten until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen and he didn't make a sound.

When Wang Nian saw that Yang Rui had suffered a disadvantage, he couldn't hold back at once. As soon as the Huo Fa was sacrificed, he drove the opponent's children into a side hall like ducks.In the end, because he was too emotional, the fire control technique lost control, and then he burned the house down, scaring himself enough.

Of course, those princes and princes who were almost burned to death in the side hall were even more scared to death.

The guards who came behind frowned when they saw Wang Nian.Knowing that this child who is not a royal family but can walk sideways in the palace is not easy to deal with.Reported to the emperor, the emperor laughed and let Fang Wangnian leave.It's just a side hall, if it is burned, it will be burned. To maintain the relationship between Zhang Yan, what's the problem with burning a few more?He even thought it was a good thing.

Chapter 290 Arrangement

You can't ask a young man under [-] to stand high on the road of martial arts.

The Tongqiao state is already a very good level that warriors under the age of 30 can achieve, and it can even be called an excellent and genius state of strength.
