General Raiders

At the beginning when the Eldest Princess accepted her and Lan Fei into the mansion, she probably wanted them to be the young master's roommate, but these years they and the young master depended on each other for life, the young master only regarded them as sisters and had no affection for them.Now that Lan Fei and she both have someone they like, if they can't find a caring one for the young master, they will always feel sorry for the eldest princess' kindness of adoption.The young master is almost in his twenties and hasn't married yet, and the emperor doesn't propose marriage for the young master. What will happen to this huge Marquis Mansion in the future... Lan Xuan is very worried.

Yun Xi didn't know that her marriage almost made Lan Xuan's head turn gray, and his thoughts recently were all on teaching the sixth prince.In the past few days, the sixth prince spoke much more smoothly, and also learned several new characters. It seemed that his persistence at the beginning was correct, so Yun Xi wondered whether he should let the sixth prince go further.Zhang Yicheng, his teacher who taught him martial arts, mentioned before that there is a skill called lip language in the world. You can know what the other party is saying just by looking at the shape of the other party's lips. It is used by some palace guards to spy on secrets.If Mu Chengze can learn it, he will really be no different from ordinary people.

But where do you find someone who can speak lips?Yun Xi was naturally the first to think of Mu Ziyue, but the secret guard is a royal secret, it is hard to say whether the emperor will have such a capable person, even if there is, whether he is willing to let him teach Mu Chengze or not must……

Yun Xi decides to go to Prince Jing's Mansion to inquire about the news from Mu Ziqi.

"You speak lip language?" Mu Zi frowned, "Why do you ask this all of a sudden?"

Because King Jing never openly communicated with any princes, Yun Xi did not mention the sixth prince hastily, but said: "I have heard people talking about it inadvertently in the past few days, and I am just a little curious."

Mu Ziqi stared at him for a while, as if he really wanted to know if he had acted on a whim. After a while, he said in a deep voice, "That was originally a secret technique handed down in the Nanzhao court."

Nanzhao?Yun Xi was stunned.Nanzhao is the place where Princess Rong'an and her relatives married far away. It was the most powerful neighboring country of Dachu back then, but it was annexed by Dachu 20 years ago and ceased to exist.

Yun Xi only cares about the words on lips right now, and said: "Then, is there anyone in Da Chu who knows how?"

"I don't know, maybe there is." Mu Ziqi thought about it quickly: "Back then when I set up a secret guard for the emperor, I also suggested recruiting some people who could speak lips, but because the lips itself originated from Nanzhao, the emperor He didn't agree. You know. Brother Huang doesn't allow anyone to mention Nanzhao in front of him."

Yunxi nodded.Everyone in the world knows that the more Muzi dislikes Nanzhao, even the civil and military officials and those who serve him rarely mention these two words.If I had just asked the emperor directly, I am afraid I would not have been able to find out anything.

It's a pity that the clue about lip language is about to be cut off...

wrong.Yun Xi thought about it, since it is a secret court technique, how did Zhang Yicheng know it?He vaguely felt that something was wrong, but no matter what, Zhang Yicheng was no longer alive.

Mu Ziqi said lightly: "I don't think you are interested in Nanzhao either. If you only ask lip-synch, there are none in the palace, you might as well go to the folks to find more, if you don't know, there are really people who will."

"Alright..." Yun Xi thought to herself, that's all she could do.

He has been in the army for many years, and his soldiers come from all over the world. It is not difficult to send some people to search for information, but the difficulty is that it is very likely that they will not be found for a while, so what should we do?You can't wait forever, can you?

Yun Xi thought of a compromise.Based on his own experience in learning martial arts, there are many similarities in martial arts in the world. For example, palm technique usually requires diligent practice of palm strength, such as leg skills, which requires frequent practice of legs and feet. Lip language should be related to eyesight. It is always right to pay attention to the mouth shape of others when they speak. If you really find someone who can speak lips in the future, just ask for advice.

Before leaving Prince Jing's Mansion, Yun Xi hesitated for a while.King Jing died of illness in the previous life, although it was not imminent, it would be better to take precautions earlier.But what reason would he use to convince King Jing?If you mention it hastily, wise as respecting the king, will you be suspicious of him?

Yun Xi has a good relationship with King Jing, but princes and princes also have to avoid suspicion, they can't come and go frequently, once can be persuaded, so they said desperately: "My lord, you must take care of your health these few years..."

Mu Ziqi couldn't immediately understand the deep meaning in his words, and said, "Why are you suddenly being polite?"

"It's not polite!" Yun Xi was in a hurry. In terms of age, King Jing was younger than the emperor, and he went directly to the hospital not long after he got sick. At that time, he didn't react for a long time when he got the news... You should pay more attention, think more about Chengwen Chenghao and the others..."

Mu Chengwen and Mu Chenghao are the sons of King Jing. When mentioning these two children, King Jing finally listened to him, and said with a smile: "What are you talking about? Both of them are very nice and obedient. worry."

Yun Xi was really at a loss, so she had no choice but to say: "Then uncle, can you help me and take care of your health in the future?"

The long-lost address made Mu Ziqi's eyes darken. He looked straight at the tall and straight young man in front of him. He and Rong An grew up together, and they loved each other as brothers and sisters. When the eldest princess was still alive, after a while he patted Yun Xi's shoulder lightly, and said warmly: "Xi'er, of course."

13. Gift Sword

When Yun Xi went to Shaohua Palace, she brought Lan Xuan's skills with her.The snacks made by Lan Xuan are much more delicious than those in the imperial dining room. After Mu Chengze tasted it for the first time, he eagerly hoped that Yun Xi would teach him, and he could also taste the handicrafts of Anlehou Mansion along the way.When it was time to teach, the sixth prince stood guard at the gate of Shaohua Palace early in the morning. When he saw Yunxi, he trotted up, took the food basket in his hand, and said with a smile on his face: "Walnut cake, mung bean cake, almond cake..."

Yun Xi couldn't help laughing and cursing: "Serious ones don't know how to say a few words, but you don't need to be taught how to eat!"

Mu Chengze was very familiar with him now, he smiled while holding the baby food basket, and ran away with short legs.At best, Yun Xi just wanted to scare him, he always felt that the sixth prince's appetite had increased again.Now, although the whole person is in good spirits, he is no longer the child who was timid and afraid of being beaten, but there is still not much flesh on his face. He is still at the age of Baozi, but he doesn't look like a bun. It's a pity...

Since studying, Mu Chengze has become much more sensible. He hid his share of snacks, obediently returned the food basket, and took the initiative to sit in front of the desk and write.In addition to reading and writing, Yunxi taught him some simple boxing and sword skills, proper martial arts can strengthen his body.Mu Chengze's qualifications can't be said to be very good, but he has the concentration that many people don't have, and he is neither arrogant nor impetuous.This is also a result of trying hard to learn how to speak in the past. No matter what you do, you must do it steadily.Yun Xi thought quite proudly, if His Highness the Sixth Highness was serious, he would really have some of his demeanor back then, and he was worthy of being his little apprentice.

Mu Chengze likes to drink fruit wine recently. When he is tired and sweating profusely, he drinks a glass of it, and he feels refreshed. It’s just that it’s winter, and Chunxi is afraid that he will feel unwell if he eats cold all of a sudden, so the fruit wine has to be warmed before he can drink it. .Usually, I put the jug into a porcelain basin under the eaves, soak it in hot water and cover it.After Mu Chengze finished writing the day's words or practicing exercises, Yunxi allowed him to drink a small cup to satisfy his hunger.I don't know if it's an illusion, but whenever he brings fruit wine, the sixth prince can write and practice very fast.

After finishing writing that day, Mu Chengze went to get the fruit wine that had been warmed for him as usual, but someone outside the hall said in a shrill voice: "The emperor is here!"

Yun Xi's eyelids twitched, and she hurriedly pulled the sixth prince to kneel down.After a while, Mu Ziyue led a group of palace servants into the hall.

Mu Ziyue was passing by unintentionally. He was very happy to see Yunxi, and said with a smile, "Get up quickly. I passed by Shaohua Palace today, and I heard voices inside. I wondered if it was Yunxi who came. It's you." Glancing at the sixth prince again, he said, "Chengze get up too."

Yun Xi stood up calmly, also gave Mu Chengze a hand, saluted and said, "Your Majesty, I am teaching His Highness the Sixth Highness to write."

"Really?" Mu Ziyue said naturally, "Bring it here and show me."

The servant presented the pages that the Sixth Prince had just finished writing, and Mu Ziyue glanced at them roughly, only to feel that the handwriting was neat and correct, and it was not easy for a child, so he said quite face-savingly: "The writing is not bad."

At this time, Mu Chengze could roughly recognize some lip shapes, bowed his head and said, "Thank you, Father, it's my cousin who taught me well."

Mu Ziyue didn't expect that it was the sixth prince who replied so fluently, and wondered for a moment: "Chengze, can you hear me?"

Mu Chengze shook his head: "My cousin taught me to read more and talk more, so I wrote it down myself."

Mu Ziyue suddenly became interested: "Then I will test you."

Yun Xi smiled and said: "Your Majesty, please don't ask too difficult questions, His Highness the Sixth Highness won't be able to answer them."

Mu Ziyue concentrated for a moment, and said: "How about the Three Character Classic?"

This is what children must learn when they are enlightened, and Mu Ziyue also asked quite freely.

Mu Chengze memorized the entire text without mistakes, and Mu Ziyue pointed to several sentences, and Mu Chengze explained them one by one.

Mu Ziyue wanted to ask more questions, but Yun Xi stepped forward and said: "Thousand-character writing is not good, His Highness Six is ​​a slow learner!"

Muzi laughed more: "This is also very good."

He was still very curious, Mu Chengze answered the questions fluently, not like a deaf person at all.

Yun Xi said for Mu Chengze: "His Sixth Highness now practices reading and writing for three hours each day, and has just learned Thousand Characters."

"A drop of water wears away a stone."

Mu Ziyue nodded knowingly, and glanced at Mu Chengze. Every time he saw the sixth prince in the past, the sixth prince would lower his head. Mu Ziyue never looked at this son carefully. A pair of phoenix eyes are shining, and her face doesn't look like her biological mother, but rather like him, and there is something in her heart.
