I have just been promoted to Qianhu, and I was shocked to hear that this is a Liaozhai!

Chapter 134 Princess Taiping
Zuo Dao and Xia Hou were chatting in the restaurant, and they were talking about nothing more than the martial arts test in the Wei Dynasty.

After three rounds of wine.

Zuo Dao talked about the exchange venue on the outskirts of the city and asked Xiahou if he had been there.

When Xia Hou heard this, he shook his head slightly and said: "I have never heard of it, and I have never been there. I only have swords in my heart, and other foreign objects are of no use to me."

Hearing Xia Hou speak, Zuo Dao couldn't help but give him a thumbs up.

Xiahou's reference token is to play tomorrow.

He went there today just to see the level of the martial artists participating in the martial arts test this time.

Although Xiahou also belongs to the innate realm, he is close to perfection and is only one step away from reaching the threshold of the little master.

Therefore, most of the people who came to take the martial arts exam this time also belonged to the upper class.

After drinking.

Zuo Dao reminded Xiahou not to go to the outskirts of Kyoto in the near future and to prepare for the martial arts test here with peace of mind.

Then he said goodbye directly.

That night, when Zuo Dao wanted to go to the outskirts of Beijing, he accidentally bumped into several figures running from the suburbs.

One of the figures was very familiar, it was Bai Xiaosheng who had talked to him that day.

Seeing Bai Xiaosheng fleeing all the way, Zuo Dao followed him directly.

Came to a hidden place.

Bai Xiaosheng suddenly stopped and said behind him: "You have been following me for so long, you can't possibly want to go to the black market with me, right?"

After hearing this, Zuo Dao walked out of the darkness.

Looking at Bai Xiaosheng in front of him, he smiled and said, "What? You look so embarrassed today. Are you being chased by a dog?"

Bai Xiao was angry and laughed, saying, "I was really chased by a dog."

Zuo said: "..."

He looked at Bai Xiaosheng and said, "Something happened over there in the suburbs of Beijing?"

Bai Xiaosheng pointed at Zuo Dao and said, "It's all your kid. I know that nothing good will happen when I meet your kid."

"You just came here yesterday to inquire about the news, and today the place was raided by Jin Yiwei."

"If I hadn't escaped in time, I might have followed those royal guards into the imperial prison."

Hearing Bai Xiaosheng speak, a look of surprise appeared on Zuo Daosheng's face.

That place in the suburbs of Beijing was raided by Jin Yiwei?

I just discussed this matter with the capital commander today. Why was that place raided?

Could this be the reason why the commander-in-chief asked him to give up on this matter?
Originally, he thought that the capital commander would advance the martial arts exam in order to prevent the martial arts people in Kyoto from continuing to disappear.

Now it seems that the commander-in-chief has some backup plans.

Since there is no way to start from the palace, we can directly raid the suburbs of Beijing where warriors gather.

Then a group of warriors were imprisoned in imperial prison.

interesting.

Zuo Dao looked at Bai Xiaosheng in front of him and said with a smile: "You keep saying that you are Bai Xiaosheng, why didn't you notice this?"

Bai Xiaosheng cursed angrily: "You Jin Yiwei are all a bunch of lunatics, who can guess what you are thinking?"

After speaking.

As if worried about Zuo Dao's anger, Bai Xiaosheng went directly into the ground and disappeared in an instant.

When Zuo Dao saw this, a smile appeared on his face, and then he headed in the direction of his mansion.

After returning to the mansion, he began to think about what to do next.

The commander of the capital once promised him that he would be promoted to a commanding officer after the dual examinations in Kyoto were over.

When the time comes, you can stay in Kyoto or be sent abroad.

Naturally, he wanted to be sent abroad. After all, in a ghost place like Kyoto, it was not only dangerous, but also difficult to earn energy points.

Furthermore, demons are everywhere in the Wei Dynasty, except in Kyoto.

The only place where the national fortune gathers is the big centipede of Pudu Cihang and the many demons under him.

He can't take down those guys to earn energy points!

Zuo Dao shook his head slightly, then put away the thoughts in his mind and rested on the bed.

Early the next morning.

A high eunuch came from the palace and went directly to Fusi, Beizhen, with a message to let Zuo Dao enter the palace.

Zuo Dao looked at the eunuch in front of him and said with a strange expression: "May I ask the eunuch, why did your majesty recruit me to the palace?"

As he spoke, he also stuffed a money bag into the eunuch's hand.

The eunuch weighed it in his hands, then with a smile on his face, he put away the money bag and said with a smile: "How can we guess the Holy Spirit's thoughts?"

"But His Majesty seems to be in a good mood today, which should be a good thing."

"Don't worry, Mr. Zuo."

Hearing the eunuch speak, Zuo Dao calmed down a little, and then said with a smile: "Thank you, eunuch, for reminding me."

Afterwards, Zuo Dao walked towards the palace with the eunuch.

After arriving at the palace.

Zuo Dao met Emperor Cao Yan again, but this time it was not in the Buddhist hall in the harem.

Instead, it was a martial arts arena in the palace.

On the martial arts arena.

Cao Yan was smiling as she watched a young girl dancing with a sword.

The girl's sword dance is quite methodical. It seems that she has been taught by a famous teacher, and her strength has reached an acquired level.

Cao Yan just stood on the sidelines and watched with a smile.

Compliment me from time to time.

Zuo Dao stood not far away and waited quietly.

After a moment.

The girl finally stopped, panting slightly, then ran to Cao Yan's side, shook Cao Yan's arm with her hand, and said coquettishly: "Father, what do you think of my daughter's swordsmanship?"

Cao Yan smiled and said: "Okay, he has the style of a swordsman."

When the girl heard this, she said with a proud face: "That's natural. All the masters in the palace are full of praise for my talent. One day, I will become a martial arts immortal like my ancestors."

Hearing the word "ancestor", a gloom flashed in Cao Yan's eyes.

Then he patted the girl on the head with a smile and said: "Then Taiping will be the swordsman of the Wei Dynasty to protect the peace of the Wei Dynasty for generations to come."

Princess Taiping nodded and said, "I will definitely become the Sword Immortal of Wei Dynasty."

After finishing speaking, she suddenly looked at Zuo Dao not far away and said, "Father, is this the new master you are looking for for Taiping?"

Cao Yan turned around, saw Zuo Dao, and waved to him.

Zuo Dao immediately stepped forward, bowed and saluted: "I, Zuo Dao, have met Your Majesty."

Cao Yan smiled and said: "There is no need to be so polite. I have called you here today just for the sake of peace."

He looked at Princess Taiping in front of him and said: "This little girl Taiping has always wanted to practice martial arts. She said she wanted to be a swordsman in the Wei Dynasty, but she doesn't like the sword masters in Kyoto."

"So I asked you to come and see if you can teach Taiping."

Zuo Dao was stunned.

Let yourself be Princess Taiping’s master?
The princess looked down on the other sword masters in Kyoto, could it be possible that she could also like a swordsman like herself?
He hesitated and said, "Your Majesty, I am a swordsman."

Cao Yan waved her hand slightly and said: "As the saying goes, one method can be used to master all methods. If you can step into the realm of a young master at such an age, you should have your own methods."

"And you are loyal to the Wei Dynasty. I can rest assured that you will teach Taiping." When Zuo Dao heard His Majesty speak, he couldn't say anything for a moment.

He could only nod his head and say: "I obey your order."

Princess Taiping looked at Zuo Dao in front of her and said, "You are the Tianjiao of Wei that my father said."

Zuo Dao laughed and said, "I don't dare."

Hearing this, Taiping frowned slightly and said, "Come and see if you can do two tricks."

Zuo Dao was stunned when he heard this and turned to look at Cao Yan.

Cao Yan smiled and said: "Since the princess asked you to try it, then you should try it."

Zuo Dao nodded slightly and said, "That minister was offended."

The voice fell.

He turned to look at a rockery outside the martial arts arena, raised his hand and slashed it with his sword.

A sword light shot out instantly.

Directly cut the rockery into two halves.

When Princess Taiping saw this, her eyes suddenly lit up and she said, "You are much better than the masters who taught me before."

Zuo Dao quickly said: "It's just some trivial tricks."

Cao Yan's eyes lit up as she looked at Zuo Dao in front of her.

He could clearly sense from the left-handed shot just now that this person was not using true energy.

I remembered that my thirteenth brother once asked for a secret method and sent it to Youzhou.

Is it possible that this kid entered Taoism through martial arts?

If this is the case, it would be an unexpected surprise.

Cao Yan looked at the left road in front of her and said, "In that case, from today onwards, you will teach Taiping."

Hearing this, Zuo Dao immediately responded respectfully.

Princess Taiping shook Cao Yan's arm and said coquettishly: "Father, my daughter has never been in actual combat. Why don't you let Master Zuo take me to do some actual combat?"

Cao Yan frowned slightly and said, "As a princess, it's enough for you to have cultivation skills by your side. Why do you need to fight for life or death?"

Princess Taiping immediately retorted: "On the journey of a warrior, great progress can be made between life and death."

When Cao Yan heard this, her eyes widened instantly and she stared at Princess Taiping in front of her.

Princess Taiping was not to be outdone at all, and stared at her father.

After a moment, Cao Yan sighed and said: "A life-and-death fight is not a trivial matter, why should you take risks?"

Princess Taiping said: "How can I become the Great Wei Sword Immortal without experiencing life and death?"

Cao Yan looked at the person in front of her, then at the eunuch who brought Zuo Dao into the palace, and said, "There may be acquired-level monsters or thieves near Kyoto."

Hearing this, the eunuch thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, there really is an acquired thief."

"The man's name is the Deadly Scholar. According to Jin Yiwei's information, he has reached a perfect state the day after tomorrow and is better than Her Royal Highness. He is currently in a village outside Kyoto."

Hearing this, Cao Yan frowned slightly and said, "The day after tomorrow is perfect, isn't it a little too strong? Is it any weaker?"

The eunuch said with a sneer: "Kyoto is at the feet of the Emperor. With His Majesty's holy power, only such blind little things will come close."

Princess Taiping said coquettishly: "Father, with Master Zuo at the level of a little master, he will definitely protect his daughter."

Hearing this, Cao Yan had a headache, then glanced at Zuo Dao and said, "In that case, then go back and make preparations, and take the princess for a walk away from the capital tomorrow."

"Remember, you must ensure the safety of the princess, otherwise you won't be able to lose even ten heads."

Hearing this, Zuo Dao responded quickly and then left under the leadership of the eunuch.

After Zuo Dao left, Cao Yan said earnestly: "When you leave Beijing this time, you must pay more attention to safety and listen to the words of Zuo Zhen's envoy."

"If you don't want to go back to Beijing, just play outside for a while."

When Princess Taiping heard this, a smile suddenly appeared on her face and she said, "Thank you, father."

Cao Yan smiled and touched Princess Taiping's head, then let her leave.

At this moment, Zuo Dao, after leaving the palace with the eunuch, had a look of confusion on his face.

He never dreamed that this time the emperor summoned him to the palace and asked him to be a teacher for Princess Taiping.

You know, this Princess Taiping is His Majesty's favorite heir.

Even the prince is inferior to Princess Taiping.

Therefore, the emperor has always responded to Princess Taiping's requests.

It's just that in Kyoto, there should be a lot of powerful little masters in the royal family, and even some big masters.

Why did this job fall on me?

He didn't believe it, it was a matter of talent that the emperor said.

And although His Majesty seemed reluctant to give up before, he could feel that His Majesty intended to let Princess Taiping leave the capital.

It's not as good as the huge city of Kyoto, and it's hard to find an opponent at the acquired level.

Not to mention anything else, there are countless death row prisoners in Jinyiwei's prison.

If you are willing, you can find hundreds of them, let alone one.

Zuo Dao shook his head slightly, put these thoughts aside for the time being, and then walked towards the direction of Beizhen Fusi.

On the way, he added the few energy points he had left to Dao Xing.

A full thousand energy points gave him 2.5 years of Taoism.

左道
heresy.

Taoism: Qinglong Taoism, White Tiger Taoism (???)

Dao Xing: 105 years

Dharma: Heart-Earth Meditation Sutra 40% (fusion version)

Skills: Seven Killing Sword (Transformation 90%), Liuhe Sword (Transformation 100%), Golden Dragon Whip Technique (Transformation 90%), Flying Knife Technique (Transformation 80%)...

Spells: Palm Thunder (80%), Fireball (95%), Ice Thorn (95%)...

Energy: 25
……

Although he only added 2.5 years of Taoism, he can clearly feel the increase in his strength.

According to my own speculation, the peak of the Little Grandmaster should be 130 years ago.

The Grand Master set the limit by 130 years of Taoism.

If you are a martial arts immortal, you will probably have to practice Taoism for at least 200 years.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but ponder in his mind that if he left the capital this time, he might as well find a way to improve his strength.

For some reason, he always felt that something was wrong in Kyoto recently.

With his current little master-level strength, I am afraid it will be difficult to protect himself in Kyoto.

We must seize the time to break through the Great Master, which means 130 years of progress.

Zuo Dao had just returned to Beizhen Fusi when he saw the capital commander in the lobby.

Cao Xiang, the commander of the capital, looked at Zuo Dao who walked into the lobby and said, "His Majesty summoned you to the palace today, but did you meet Princess Taiping?"

Zuo Dao was stunned for a moment, then he cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty asked me to be the master of Princess Taiping in my humble position and teach her swordsmanship."

When Cao Xiang heard this, he chuckled and said, "Swordsmanship, you know shit about swordsmanship."

"He asked you to take Princess Taiping out of Kyoto?"

Zuo Dao nodded and said: "Exactly, Your Majesty asked me to take Princess Taiping out of the capital to practice, and also found a thief who killed the scholar. I came here because I wanted to obtain the files of the scholar who killed him." '
