“It’s above Qinggong, but not as good as Taoism. There is a blessing between the two.” Yuntang smiled. The explanation sounded a bit vague, but it was actually simple and clear.

Jiang Yanyu tilted his head and looked at her, thinking for a moment before saying, "Can I learn it?"

What the elder sister meant was that this was not just ordinary Qinggong, it was so powerful only with the blessing of Taoist magic.

So, can he, who has practiced martial arts since childhood and has some knowledge of light skills, learn it?

Yun Tang tilted his head and looked at him, holding the teacup in his hand, and said honestly: "It's a little late to learn now. Maybe you can work hard, but the effect will be minimal."

As the saying goes: Only those who endure the most hardships can become the best.

The problem is, you never know how painful this pain is.

"I can endure hardship and I want to give it a try. Can I learn it?" Jiang Yanyu's eyes lit up and he was not discouraged by Yuntang's words.

Yun Tang said, "Of course you can, but I don't have time to teach you. I have a beginner's method here. If you learn it, you can slowly get started."

Yuntang placed the teacup on the window frame, reached into his sleeve, and pulled out a illustrated book of internal energy techniques.

It was her own introductory book when she was a child.

Because she was too young when she started practicing, her senior brothers made some illustrated books of exercises for her, which were not boring to read.

If this method can be practiced well, even if one's lightness skills cannot reach half of her level, it can greatly improve one's overall martial arts strength.

This is not a Taoist method, but a simplified version of a high-end secret book...

She didn't say much, but just gave it to Jiang Yanyu.

She was able to learn it at the age of four. Her third brother had practiced martial arts since he was a child, so of course he could understand it.

Jiang Yanyu didn't expect that when he wanted to ask for advice, his sister gave him a book of martial arts. He was immediately surprised and happy, and stretched out his hands to take it carefully.

He opened it and flipped through two pages. He quickly understood the meaning of the annotations in the picture and immediately broke into an excited smile.

"Thank you, big sister! I will study hard when I get home tonight!"

The military blood in Jiang Yanyu's bones was instantly awakened. He turned another page between his fingers and his eyes lit up.

Yuntang smiled, knowing that if he could understand it, he would be able to learn it.

If he really has the talent to learn Taoist martial arts, she can give him a few more books.

The Yong'an Marquis Mansion is a family of military generals. Their ancestors have been generals for generations, and they all guarded the northern border twenty years ago.

After the Marquis of Yong'an inherited the title, married the princess, and in the second year after Yuntang was born, he was transferred back to the capital to serve in the Ministry of War.

The post of guarding the northern border was officially transferred to the Gu family of General Jingbei’s Mansion, which is also the family of the fourth senior brother.

Later, the fourth brother built a Taoist temple in the northern border and engaged in large-scale farming and breeding, thus solving the problem of supplying food and cotton clothing for the northern army.

Although the fourth senior brother is not the emperor’s money bag, he is the emperor’s grain bag.

The Yong'an Marquisate no longer holds military power.

Marquis Yong'an served as the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of War, and was no different from other court officials.

Jiang Mingli served as a deputy general in the South Camp. Although he was a military general, he had never fought in the battlefield during the prosperous times.

On weekdays, the four major camps outside the capital are mainly responsible for the security of the capital area. They are not transferred at will, which is different from the border troops.

Jiang Mingwei had been a rich and idle person since he was young. He was neither good at literature nor martial arts, and finally he only became a minor official in the Ministry of Rites.

Of the eight brothers who have not yet branched out in this generation, only the eldest brother Jiang Yanting went to the South Camp for training when he was young, and is now also a captain.

The second elder brother Jiang Yanxuan could only study to become an official through literature, but children from aristocratic families would not show their talents early, so he did not take the imperial examination.

When it came to his third brother Jiang Yanyu, he had no choice but to take the imperial examination to become an official, or he could only go to the South Camp for training.

But his father Jiang Mingli and Jiang Yanting are already in the South Camp, and the commander of the South Camp, General Lin, is Jiang Mingli's father-in-law and Jiang Yanyu's grandfather.

This South Camp is not suitable for too many people from the Jiang family to enter.

Unless you go for a few months of training and don't forget your original intention of being a general, if you want to take root, the generals of other families will not be happy.

Although these young men under the Jiang family have been practicing martial arts since childhood, they can only study and have free time, so what they can learn is limited.

Jiang Yanyu, on the other hand, was inclined towards martial arts. When he saw Yuntang's flying movements, he was immediately impressed and convinced, and so he wanted to learn a few moves from him.

Unexpectedly... the elder sister is such a nice person! She gave him a big surprise!

Yuntang could tell a lot from Jiang Yanyu's genuine joy, and also understood the Jiang family's current situation.

The concubines who separated from the family more than ten years ago have all found their own places to settle down in other places, either as civil or military officials.

Only the inherited marquisate seems glorious and splendid, but in the prosperous times they can only learn to keep a low profile, and the sons of military generals can only give up military service and pursue literature.

But there was one thing that comforted Yuntang, that was the family she was born into had not had any domineering and unruly playboys, otherwise she would have been really afraid of running into the hands of the Qinglong Guards one day.

She has no face either.

Seeing that Jiang Yanyu really liked the technique, Yuntang told him what he should pay attention to when practicing it.

The other brothers had already crowded over and were listening to their eldest sister talk silently, feeling extremely envious of their third brother.

Just now they were all amazed by the eldest sister's lightness skills, but why was it that only the third brother asked to learn it?

If they had mentioned it at that time, would we have been able to learn it?

Finally, the sixth brother Jiang Yanwu was pushed out by the seventh and eighth brothers, pinching his arms and asking cautiously while swallowing his saliva.

"Big sister, can we learn this technique from Third Brother?"

"Don't worry, sister. We all practiced horse-stance at the age of three, boxing at the age of four, and swords, spears, swords and sticks at the age of five, and practiced for at least an hour every day."

Since the third brother can still learn at his age, don’t they have more chances when they are younger?

Seeing that they were all very enthusiastic about learning martial arts, Yun Tang smiled and said indifferently: "Of course, this is the martial arts method I learned when I was four years old. It is not some peerless secret manual."

"I may not be in the mansion often due to something else, otherwise I can teach you how to get started." Yun Tang explained as he thought about what he was going to do next.

"Sister is leaving Beijing again?" Jiang Yanlang blurted out.

When Yuntang looked over, she was embarrassed and quickly explained, "Although the snow has stopped, the weather is still very cold. My sister has worked too hard."

He thought Yuntang was going to leave Beijing for business again.

"Whether I leave the capital depends on the emperor's arrangement. I want to stay in seclusion to make peace jade. Today, the third prince wants to take it. I gave the stock to the second prince. It's not good to favor one over the other."

Yuntang explained.

Speaking of the peace jade, Jiang Yanlang couldn't help but reach out and touch the talisman bag on his chest, hanging around his neck and hidden inside his clothes.

It was this amulet that his sister gave him today at Tangfeng Courtyard.

"Sister, isn't the function of the amulet the same? Why do we have to use jade to make it? Ordinary people can't afford it..."

Their monthly allowance was only enough to buy the amulet. If their sister had not been willing to give it to them, they would definitely not be able to afford it.

On the other hand, the third prince wanted the peace jade, and they were a group of people together at the time. If he gave it to his sister as well, it would cost a lot.

I heard that my sister is rich, but if she gives me a gift like this... I'm afraid it won't empty my wallet, right?
