Comprehensive martial arts: He was in the Jin Kingdom, but he returned to the Southern Song Dynasty

Chapter 9 Inside Prince Zhao’s Mansion
To be honest, the treatment of the slaves in Prince Zhao's Mansion was not bad. They had no worries about food and clothing. Everyone also had a small private room, which made it convenient for Lu Chen to practice continuously every day.

He was not in a hurry to do anything in particular, but felt at ease. There are many experts in Prince Zhao's palace, and any deliberate exploration is in danger of being discovered.

But it is by no means without gain, which comes from often getting together and chatting with those beggar brothers in their free time. This group of people is comparable to a group of Grandma Liu visiting the Grand View Garden. Their curiosity and freshness about Prince Zhao's Mansion is no less than that of Lu Chen. All kinds of information will naturally emerge from the chat, which cannot be concealed.

For example, Ouyang Ke, Lu Chen had met him a few times, he was a handsome and elegant young man.

This is the person that everyone envies the most, because he is surrounded by beauties all the time, and they call him master every time.

Even the five-star beggar Ye Mouse made his comment, "Those female dolls may not be as beautiful as the princesses individually, but they are better in size, and they are young and beautiful. Our prince only loves one person, which is infatuated and amazing. But to I say, Mr. Ouyang lives the life of a prince."

Even on the third day, Lu Chen had just finished dinner and was sitting cross-legged on the bed practicing martial arts when someone knocked on the door.

When I opened it, I saw that it was a night rat with a sly look.

"how?"

"Still not sleeping? What are you doing?" Ye Mouse swept away the dust on a deer, showing an "I understand" expression, "I have reached my age."

"What nonsense."

"I just went to Mr. Ouyang's yard to deliver something. Guess what I saw..." Ye Mouse squeezed in very obscenely, talking about something and nothing, with a full voice and expression.

It turned out that when he was delivering things today, he accidentally saw Ouyang Ke having sex with several young women during the day, including all kinds of charming and charming things.

This thing is so exciting these days, Ye Mouse couldn't forget it for a long time after seeing it, and had to find someone to share it with. He talked for a long time, getting more and more excited as he talked. Lu Chen thought about practicing and asked him to go out with a few perfunctory words. He was still unfinished, and he was very proud of himself for getting this amazing glimpse. From now on, his spellcasting materials at night would be much better than others.

"Let's make an appointment to take a peek together in the future... I remember there was a sister named Yukou'er, and her chest was ouch..."

"Good good."

Lu Chen responded repeatedly and drove him out. After Ye Mouse was completely gone, he shook his head and laughed.

Along with this bit of fun, there's also trouble.

That was the big dog. One day he also came to see Lu Chen, but to Lu Chen's expectation, the rude man did not have the impulse to come up and beat him.

The big dog just put his hands behind his back and looked at Lu Chen quietly for a long time, who was holding the broom, as if just looking at him made him happy.

Finally, he smiled contemptuously and said, "Just sweep the floor. You and I are already on different levels, and we don't care about the past. If you let me suffer once, remember it well. This is the greatest honor in your life." ”

Without waiting for an answer, the big dog turned around and walked away, leaving only Lu Chen with a question mark above his head.

In addition to this episode, several other masters in Prince Zhao's Mansion are also very strange, which is an eye-opener for everyone, and they are something to talk about every day.

These people were originally invited by Wanyan Honglie from all over the world, but their purpose is not yet clear.

In the original work, they were looking for the "Wu Mu's suicide note" left by Yue Fei, but in the current chaotic time and space, this reason does not hold true. Yue Fei was not dead, but was still alive and well in his prime, preparing military affairs in the south for the Northern Expedition.

As for these people, or those individuals, from a few days of observation, there is no difference from what I know.

Liang Ziweng, the old weirdo who participates in immortals, usually seems to be an immortal and has a master's demeanor. At first, he frightened people into being in awe.

But Lu Chen knew that he was not an immortal, and had never practiced Taoism. He was just a mountain visitor. Later, he killed a senior stranger who was seriously injured. He obtained a martial arts secret book and more than ten prescriptions, and practiced and studied according to the method. Since then, he has become a master of martial arts and has become proficient in pharmacology. It is his ability to stay young forever, but it would be a big mistake to think that his temperament is as compassionate as his appearance.

Sure enough, three or five days later, several of Liang Ziwen's servants came into contact, and they would whisper about the old man's faults when chatting.

Just because Liang Ziwen would enter the pharmacy alone at regular intervals every day, drive away the other people in the pharmacy, and then make some fanatical noises inside.

This behavior was really curious. The servant once took a peek out of curiosity. The object Liang Ziwen was murmuring about was a bamboo basket. A snake's head jumped out of it, shaking up and down. Not to mention how creepy the scene was. He was startled, and Liang Ziwen also noticed him, so he became furious and hurriedly put the bamboo basket away, as if he was afraid that his treasure would be taken away by others.

Because of this, the servant was first severely punished with a sword, and then gave Liang Ziwen a medicine to test, and managed to escape half-dead. He was miserable and resentful.

When Lu Chen heard about this, he paid special attention to it. He spent some time making friends with the servant, gave him two bottles of wine, and asked him to give more details.

"Why are you so interested in that old man?"

"I love to read books and stories, not just in a day or two."

"Yes, you used to like to beg for food in restaurants and other places. Since then, the old man didn't ask us to take care of the pharmacy, and only sent his own medicine boy..."

When Lu Chen asked Liang Ziwen, he was thinking about the big viper's blood.

Liang Ziweng killed an expert in the past and made a lot of gold coins. Among them was Zhang Pharmacy, which recorded the secret of using medicine to raise snakes, thereby changing their muscles and strengthening their bodies. He collected medicinal materials according to the prescription, and went through a lot of hardships. He caught a huge viper with strange poison in the deep mountains and dense forests, and fed it with various rare medicines. The snake's body color was originally gray and black. After taking cinnabar, ginseng antler and other medicines, it gradually turned red. After feeding it for twenty years, it became completely red.

At this time, if you suck the snake's blood, your skill will be greatly increased.

Lu Chen guessed that if he sucked the snake's blood and gained huge internal strength, and then used it with his "Heart Sea" deduction skills, he would be able to achieve unexpected progress, and even have the effect of one plus one being greater than three.

Since you worked so hard to sneak into Prince Zhao's Mansion, you must not miss this thing.

Another master is the Thousand-Hand Man Tu Peng Lianhu. This man is very famous, but he is often missing. He has only been seen once in the past few days.

After asking about it, I found out that he had either made an appointment with this important person in the court, or went to see that wealthy businessman in the secular world. He was so busy day by day that he clearly was a man who was chasing fame and fortune.

Then there are brothers Sha Tongtian, the Dragon King of the Ghost Sect, and Tonghai, the Three-Headed Jiaohou.

Sha Tongtian is very ordinary, but he looks fierce at first glance, like a man with shrimp rice who has killed more than a hundred people. In Prince Zhao's palace, he can only be regarded as incompetent.

Hou Tonghai is also unique. He has three tumors on his head, which makes him look ridiculous. If he hadn't had the chance, Lu Chen would have really wanted to ask him, "Why is your head so pointy?"

All the above people are actually very far away from the people below. There is only one spiritual master wearing a golden and bright pointed hat, who is different from them all. This Tibetan monk likes to brag and brag about himself. He shows off his martial arts skills to a group of servants every day, which attracts a large group of people to chase him and flatter him, expecting him to teach him three moves and two moves, so that he will have no worries in his life.

Lu Chen also inquired about one thing. The reason why the big dog didn't cause trouble for him seemed to be because he had become a spiritual master and was lucky enough to be a follower. He obeyed his instructions and obeyed everything. He was busy now.

No wonder he came up to show off his power. He felt that he was a dragon or a phoenix, so he came here to show off. Lu Chen thought he was a fool.

Apart from people, for Lu Chen, there were only two most critical things to gain in the past few days.

The first is the pharmacy, which not only stores the detoxification medicinal materials he needs, but is also the location of the big scarlet viper raised by Liang Ziwen.

The second is the hiding place of another noteworthy figure in Prince Zhao's palace - "Iron Corpse Mei Chaofeng".

Lu Chen deliberately searched while sweeping the floor, and finally found a piece of soft grass. When he looked down, he found that there was a hole inside, and the space was huge. After knowing this, he stepped back. There was no need to go deep, it was enough to know where Mei Chaofeng was. He has achieved great success in refining the gods, and his mind is as clear as ever, and he can even recite the original works backwards and forwards. After various plans, a general process was established.

Entering Prince Zhao's Mansion through Bao Xiruo was just the first step, but the next step was not that simple. He was weak in martial arts, so even if he stole the medicinal materials, he would never escape from Prince Zhao's Mansion.

Not to mention that Lu Chen was still thinking about the big crimson viper's blood, which was even bigger and difficult to carry away.

But what about sucking the snake's blood on the spot? For a certain period of time after consuming the medicine, he could not sense the outside world. He was in the palace, waiting to give his head to the senior brother he had never met.

So Lu Chen changed his mind.

His weak martial arts was a disadvantage, but Wanyan and his son didn't know this. On the contrary, it can be used.

They would never have imagined that a former beggar who had just learned martial arts would dare to risk his life. Whenever they encountered any abnormal situation, they would imagine that the enemy was extremely powerful.

Lu Chen was determined not to leave the palace in a hurry after stealing the medicinal materials and vipers. Instead, he hid in a place within the palace that no one else could find - Mei Chaofeng's cave.

If the medicinal materials were stolen, Wanyan and his son's first reaction would naturally be to search the entire palace.

After the search ended with no results, Wanyan and his son would probably think of the Quanzhen Seventh Son, or Qiu Chuji's other friends in the world. In short, their martial arts were a hundred times better than Lu Chen's, and they had already used Qinggong to leave the mansion.

In this way, many guards and masters will definitely turn to blockade the whole city, leaving the mansion empty of power.

At this time, Lu Chen had already digested the snake's blood and doubled his power, making it easy to escape.

But before the plan was implemented, something happened...well, it couldn't be considered an accident.

Just some chores.

……

On this day, Lu Chen was sweeping the floor in front of the pharmacy when he suddenly heard noisy sounds coming from far and near. It seemed like a group of people were flattering each other. They were extremely flattering, sweet and greasy, which made people feel like listening to them every day for three consecutive days. It feels as disgusting as eating a bowl of brown sugar and lard rice.

He looked sideways and saw a young master whom he had never seen before walking towards him among the crowd.

Wanyankang.

Lu Chen had never met Wan Yankang, but when he saw that person, he immediately knew that he was Wan Yankang.

Just because there will never be anyone more noble than him in the palace, even Wanyan Honglie, a real prince, seems not as noble as him. There is always a chuckle on his face, that smile is so calm that it seems too arrogant if it is too heavy, and there is always an unattainable arrogance in his actions, as if this arrogance can make him higher than everyone else in the world.

But Lu Chen knew that his calmness came from a fake unrelated father, and his arrogance was torn apart to reveal a lowly Han identity. But probably the more guilty you are, the more you need to show off. This brat simply packages himself up like the sun.

Wan Yankang led a large number of supporters in front of and behind the saddle, and the group quickly passed Lu Chen and entered the pharmacy.

What surprised Lu Chen was that there was a very familiar person in the team, that was... Big Dog.

It was the big dog lying on the stretcher.

Lu Chen didn't judge by his appearance, because his appearance was so bloody that he couldn't see clearly, and his nose and eyes were crooked. In addition, the left hand was broken and the right leg was twisted into an anti-joint shape. At first glance, Lu Chen didn't see that this was a person, and thought it was medicinal materials or something like that. At the second glance, he saw that it was a living person, and at the third glance, he saw that it was a big dog based on some physical features.

When Wan Yankang arrived, he hurriedly saluted and stepped aside, waiting for the team to pass him one by one, until he saw a familiar person at the end of the team. He was Big Dog's former follower, and now he looked very flustered.

Lu Chen asked quietly, "He is..."

"It's you... What else can he do? He was taken to practice by the young prince." The man smiled bitterly, "He works hard and is lovable. Master Lingzhi recommended him to the young prince. The young prince and him After practicing some martial arts alone, he became like this. Let's see if he can be saved in the pharmacy. Hey, now I understand that people like us will never get ahead in our lives. The superiors don't regard us as human beings at all... Hey, You are sensible and it will be so comfortable to sweep the floor."

He didn't dare to talk for too long, so he hurriedly walked forward.

Most of the injuries on the big dog were fractures. Lu Chen nodded secretly and guessed what kind of martial arts he and Wan Yankang practiced alone.

"Nine Yin White Bone Claws..."

He thought about how Big Dog used to show off his power, but now he was reduced to this, which was ridiculous and absurd. But Lu Chen didn't think it was funny, nor did he feel relieved, because strictly speaking, he, Ye Shuzi and even other colleagues were in the same situation as Big Dog. Anyone could be captured by Wan Yankang at any time to practice and tortured to death. The big dog looked like he was neither human nor ghost.

"...But Wan Yankang is so cold-blooded, would he come here in person because of the big dog's injury?"

He continued to sweep the floor at the door, but he used the keen sense brought by the unmoving Long Yin Guan thought to explore the conversations inside the pharmacy.

Wan Yankang was not cautious, chatting with nothing and nothing. This shows that even in this chaotic world, he has learned more advanced martial arts and done more beastly things, but he is still essentially a spoiled person. The playboy.

It turned out that a group of powerful princes from the hinterland of the Kingdom of Jin were coming to Zhao Fucheng. Wan Yankang became the host and was preparing to take over. The Kingdom of Jin used force to establish its dynasty, and it was natural for the wealthy and nobles to practice martial arts. Their favorite things were to raise slaves, fight with each other, and gamble on the outcome. Some people are injured and need treatment, so come to the pharmacy to get some sore medicine and bruise ointment.

However, Wanyankang obviously is not a person who cares about the lives of domestic slaves. It was not his turn to do things like fetching medicine. He just couldn't wait and geared up, so he defeated the big dog during the drill, and now he brings the mighty Come here.

If he guessed correctly, his fantasy scenario should be that in the future, people would be defeated one by one, beaten and bruised, and he would send his men to heal them, showing his grace.

While Lu Chen was listening, a tall old man with gray hair and a hat who looked like a butler walked over from inside, "Boy, it's you."

"what?"

"Ah, what, you are ignorant! Are you new here? I am Butler Cui. Bring the golden sore medicine and fall ointment, and follow the young prince." The old man patted him on the head, "Stop sweeping the floor, hurry up, start moving! Be careful to whip you!"

Lu Chen drowsily took the medicine box handed to him and became one of the followers of Wanyan Kang's large team.

At this time Wan Yankang had walked out, and Butler Cui reported to him, "Two boxes of gold sore medicine and bruise ointment are enough for thirty people, young prince."

"Then let's go!"

Wan Yankang kept walking past without even looking at Lu Chen, and then many people filed out after him, blocking Lu Chen's view of him. From the front, he could only faintly mutter to himself, "I want them to see my majesty..."

Lu Chen stood there and watched for a long time, lowered his head, smiled, and followed.

A moment later, outside the gate of Prince Zhao's Mansion, Wan Yankang was dressed in rich clothes, smiling, majestic and handsome, riding a tall horse, and his head seemed to be covered with a brilliant halo.

There was a long team behind him, at least twenty or thirty people, lined up left and right, occupying the street, and they all became his foil.

Lu Chen, on the other hand, stood at the end of the line holding the box with a look of disgrace on his face, looking a little bit bad no matter what.

In this way, the two people who were both Qiu Chuji's apprentices completed their first meeting.
