Who says sleep is not spiritual practice?

Chapter 11 Gurgan's Broken Arm
"Eighth grade the day after tomorrow..."

Jiang Qingyu was in a complicated mood.

Among the two maidservants in Ziyanyuan, Lichun, who is slightly older, has served him for 12 years. Jiang Qingyu would go out of her body every night, and sometimes she would secretly investigate some things besides practicing, so for this girl The understanding of the other party is also thorough enough, and the other party's origin, purpose, etc. are all under his control.

But the girl Xiaoman has only been in Ziyan Courtyard for less than two months, and she was not a member of the palace before. Jiang Qingyu doesn't know her well enough, she only knows that this girl often blushes in the bedroom and reads fictional novels alone.

As for martial arts cultivation...

His spirit can only perceive the strength of the breath above the innate, but it is inaccurate to estimate the breath below the innate.

The little girl has never practiced martial arts in private.

There are fifteen grades of martial arts in the world, ten grades acquired, and five grades congenital.

The five congenital ranks are Mingxing, Haoyue, Yaori, Zhaixing, and Yanglong. Each realm has a detailed division.

However, it is difficult to distinguish the boundaries of the tenth rank of Houtian, but the world also has a set of generally accepted rules, which roughly distinguishes the tenth rank realm by the degree of tempering of the flesh, limbs, and five internal organs. Specifically:

A piece of copper skin.

From the second to the fifth rank, every time you complete a limb's hard work, you will be promoted to a higher rank.

From the sixth to the tenth rank, every time the sublimation and baptism of a viscera is completed, one rank will be promoted.

The top five ranks don't have much demand for foreign objects, and they can be promoted one by one only by systematic physical training.

However, the last five ranks involve the internal organs of the human body, and a series of precious medicines must be used to complete the accumulation and advance to the realm.

The little girl has just turned 16 years old this year, but she has at least the acquired eighth-rank martial arts practice, which also means that she has completed the sublimation and baptism of the three internal organs!
Incredible!

One must know that Jiang Qingjian, the second son of the Prince of the North, ranked No. 11 on the list of princes of the Chu State. With the full support of the Prince's Mansion and the Jiang Clan of Yongzhou, he is now only the eighth rank of Houtian!

And Jiang Qingjian is 22 years old this year, six years older than Xiaoman!
"The origin of this woman must be extraordinary."

Jiang Shan speculated:
"There are many hidden families and sects in the state of Chu. Most of the ancestors have one or two congenital third- and fourth-rank figures. Some family sects and even every person in power are masters of at least third-rank innate. Based on their background, It is not sensational to tilt resources at any cost to cultivate a 16-year-old Houtian Bapin."

"But the 16-year-old Houtian Bapin is an innate embryo that cannot be lost in every force. It is likely to be cultivated as the next person in power. With the qualifications of a little girl, it is very likely that she will be promoted to Xiantian before the age of 20. , and even a few decades later, there is a slight chance to be promoted to the innate fourth-rank star-picking realm, and become a legend at the same level as the old Juggernaut."

"She sneaked into the Purple Mist Courtyard by herself, she must have a big plan."

Jiang Qingyu's impression of the little girl has always been very good, and she can't help but say a few words of teasing on weekdays. The little girl will always blush and make an aggrieved expression, which makes people feel happy.

He always knew that the eldest maid, Li Chun, came to Ziyan Courtyard for another purpose, so in private, he actually preferred Xiao Man more.

But now the little girl probably has another purpose.

Jiang Qingyu smiled wryly:
"It turns out that no one has ever truly belonged to me."

Jiang Shan was also filled with emotions.

The Fourth Young Master has been staying in the Ziyan Courtyard, never cultivating his own influence, and never reaching out to the military, which also resulted in no one under his command to trust.

Even the two maids who served him were impure.

Under such circumstances, how to compete with the second son for the position of son?
One word, difficult!

"Isn't it a bit abrupt that Junior Brother called me to act today?"

"I thought I should hide for a while longer, and wait for your martial arts to improve, and then stand up to build momentum for you."

Jiang Shan thought that after Jiang Qingyu got the inheritance of the old sword master, he should endure the humiliation for a while longer, and wait until his cultivation level was promoted before competing with the second son for the position of the son.

At that time, it is the best time to express your attitude.

And exposing herself too early will only put Jiang Qingyu in a more dangerous situation.

With the ruthlessness and determination of the second wife, she will definitely not do the stupid thing of raising tigers.

But Jiang Qingyu shook her head and said:

"I have been backing down for more than ten years, but I don't want to back down today."

"Brother, you don't have to worry. Being high-profile is not necessarily a bad thing at all. Seeing that I am self-motivated, my father will definitely pay more attention to it. I won't let me die in the palace so easily."

"Brother, do you believe it?"

"Even if you don't make a move today, someone else will clear the obstacle of Guergen for me."

Jiang Shan couldn't deny it.

No matter how much Jiang Qingyu was looked down upon by others, he was still a son of the prince's mansion. If his hands and feet were mutilated in his own mansion, he would not be the only one who would be ashamed.

The entire Jubei Palace will become the laughing stock of the world.

In order to maintain the dignity of the palace, many dark guards who were only loyal to the King of Rejecting the North would naturally not allow this to happen.

"I have to say that Guergen is really a fierce general. Although his personality is flawed and he is impulsive and irritable, with the improvement of his martial arts practice, his congenital incomplete intelligence will gradually make up for it. When that time comes, he will definitely Make a formidable enemy."

Jiang Shan made a beheading motion and suggested:

"How about I find time to kill him?"

With Gu Ergen's arm severed today, he and Jiang Qingyu were completely hated by Gu Ergen, and it was almost impossible for the two parties to reconcile.

It is wisest to nip the threat in its infancy.

But Jiang Qingyu was not worried, instead she looked at Jiang Shan with a smile:

"Senior brother, don't think I don't know, Gu Ergen's right arm has not been turned into powder at all."

"You played a trick under the eyes of everyone. On the surface, you destroyed the broken arm, but in fact you secretly hid the broken arm."

"Senior brother wants me to try to subdue this person?"

As soon as this remark came out, Jiang Shan was stunned.

"You, how do you see through?"

Jiang Qingyu smiled without saying a word.

Jiang Shan couldn't calm down for a long time.

He thought that his techniques at the time were clever enough to confuse the real with the fake, but he was immediately exposed...

It's not a good feeling.

At this moment, the image of the Fourth Young Master in front of Jiang Shan's heart became more and more unpredictable!
And he finally began to believe that it was not accidental that the old sword master chose the fourth son as the only heir.

Jiang Qingyu smiled and stretched out her hand:
"Brother, if you can trust me, you might as well hand over the severed arm to me."

"I'm going to subdue this person."

……

this day.

Jiang Qingyu went to bed early as usual.

Since his bedroom was smashed, it would be difficult to repair it for a while, so he slept in the room of the servant girl Xiaoman.

The little girl's room is simply furnished, with only a bed, a set of tables and chairs, and a wardrobe.

There was a dressing mirror on the table, several boxes of expensive but rarely used rouge and gouache, it could be seen that the little girl was reluctant to wear heavy makeup on weekdays, so she used it sparingly.

The quilt on the bed had been exposed to the sun, so it was very warm when you got into it, but the quilt was too short to cover Jiang Qingyu's head and feet.

There are a few fictional novels under the pillow, all of which are stories about the love between children, some about the noble son falling in love with the maid and elope with others, and some about the little prince refusing to marry the princess for the sake of a commoner girl...

Jiang Qingyu read a few pages and felt that it was not as good-looking as the secret books in the Sutra Pavilion, so she fell asleep.

He has a lot to do tonight.

Meanwhile, in another room next door.

The two maids in Ziyanyuan changed their usual temperament of laughing and squabbling, and they no longer called good sisters. Instead, they seemed to meet enemies. Each of them held a dagger in their hands, and each pointed the tip of the knife at the girl. another person.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
