Eunuch Qin took Xiao Shitou's hand and went straight to Xue Poye's yard.

At this time Xue Poye was sitting in the living room. Although he had suffered internal injuries earlier, Eunuch Qin's "Thirteen Hands for Strengthening Blood" made his qi and blood smooth. Although he would not recover immediately, he was fine.

The green lady helped him clean up the blood and changed his clothes. At this time, Eunuch Qin led Xiaoshi into the hall without warning.

Xue Poye raised his head to see Xiao Shishi, stretched out his hand, and said softly: "Little Shitou, come here, come to Master."

Xiao Shitou wiped away his tears, walked meekly to Xue Poye, and said sadly: "Master, the little master is dead."

Xue Poye was startled, looked up at Eunuch Qin, but immediately comforted him: "Little Shitou, since people live, they will always die. This is also a doomed thing, you don't have to be too sad."

Xiao Shitou's thin body trembled, naturally he couldn't hide the great grief in his heart.

Eunuch Qin finally said: "Before returning to the capital, you will take care of Xiao Shitou. If there is a mistake, you will not be forgiven lightly."

Xue Poye said indifferently: "Elder-in-law's order, I will obey it myself."

He raised his head and saw that Eunuch Qin had no intention of leaving at all, staring at him with those deep eyes, knowing that the old eunuch must have other things to explain, but he didn't want to let Xiao Shitou know, and said softly: "Little Shitou, go to the back room with big sister to rest for a while, don't be too sad, master will go back to accompany you."

Xiao Shitou nodded obediently, and the green lady led Xiao Shitou to the back room immediately.

"Eunuch, do you have other orders?" Seeing Xiao Shitou leave, Xue Poye asked directly.

Eunuch Qin still stood on the spot with his hands hanging down. At first glance, he looked like a eunuch serving Xue Poye, but the old eunuch's voice was very indifferent: "What internal strength did you practice?"

Xue Poye was startled, frowned, pondered for a while, and said, "Why do you ask this, father-in-law?"

Eunuch Qin stared at Xue Poye with a strange look on his face. After a long time, he sighed softly: "Follow me, and I will teach you how to guide Qi."

Xue Poye didn't understand for a moment, and asked, "What?"

"The method of directing qi." Eunuch Qin said flatly, "Follow me!" He walked out of the gate with his hands down.

Xue Poye was immediately puzzled, and even more strange, what kind of nerve is this Eunuch Qin today, he wants to teach him kung fu, does this old eunuch really think that he is very qualified?

Xue Poye followed Eunuch Qin out with doubts.

Liu Jin's yard is still being cleaned up. Although there are many people and things, it doesn't appear to be messy and disorderly, but in good order.

Eunuch Qin took Xue Poye to a flower garden. The lush flower garden was surprisingly huge, filled with all kinds of exotic flowers and plants that only the royal family had, and many of them were obtained from foreign countries. bursts of fragrance.

"Although you practice inner strength and true qi, so far, it can only be called dispersing qi. Although it is of great help to people's strength, it is nothing more than that." Eunuch Qin said slowly: "It's like I gave you the seeds of the Tianchi Immortal Tree, you just ate the seeds and got the deliciousness of the seeds, but you didn’t know how to plant the seeds in the ground to get more things.”

Eunuch Qin's explanation is very easy to understand for people in the martial arts, but for Xue Poye, it is a bit difficult, just to understand what mistakes he may have made in practicing the mental method.

"What does father-in-law mean?" Xue Poye asked modestly, "Is there something wrong with me?"

Eunuch Qin said indifferently: "There is nothing wrong with you!"

Xue Poye shrugged helplessly, but this overly modern movement made Eunuch Qin frown slightly, pondered for a moment, and said softly: "The so-called dispersing qi, in the most common words, means that there is no plan for a rainy day. You can feel the energy in your body swimming, but when you are actually facing the enemy, you don't have enough energy to help you, do you understand this?"

Xue Poye is not a fool, he is just not familiar with martial arts. When the old eunuch explained this, Xue Poye immediately understood and nodded repeatedly: "I understand!"

Eunuch Qin said expressionlessly: "It's good to understand. If you continue to cultivate like this, although the five senses will be more acute, and your strength and speed will be greater and faster, but these are the most basic things after all. They have no energy. Of course, you can't fight against a master." , let alone step into the pinnacle of martial arts."

Xue Poye laughed and said: "Elder-in-law really thinks highly of me. With my appearance, I don't talk about the peak of martial arts. It's just casual practice and self-defense."

"Self-defense?" Eunuch Qin said indifferently: "If the internal strength and mental skills you practice are only used for self-defense, it would be a trifle."

Xue Poye frowned, and was about to speak, but Eunuch Qin had already interrupted: "I will teach you the method of directing qi tonight, which is to help you store the qi you practice every time. Once the qi is stored, Those residual qi that are not in harmony with the body will slowly disappear, leaving behind the essence of energy, which is the real essence that you can control at will."

Xue Poye opened his mouth and said after half a day: "Why did my father-in-law help me?"

Eunuch Qin showed a strange smile, and said in a hoarse voice: "Sometimes, there are many things that don't require asking for reasons."

Although he said this, Xue Poye knew in his heart that the old eunuch pointed him out as a martial artist of the Eight Paths, and there was absolutely no reason, even a big reason.

When Xue Poye returned to the courtyard, it was almost dawn, and even a glimmer of dawn had already appeared.

Eunuch Qin really deserves to be a martial artist of the Eight Paths. He taught Xue Poye the extremely complicated method of directing Qi in less than an hour. Po Yenao melon seeds are absorbed quickly.

Eunuch Qin's method of directing qi has a name called "Lingbing Extradition". After resting, his body feels a little chilly, but the effect is excellent. This set of "Lingbing Extradition" can absorb the energy he cultivated to the maximum extent. Essence.

When Xue Poye got the nod from Eunuch Qin, he had already practiced "Lingbing Extradition" very smoothly, and thus stored a trace of energy and true energy in his dantian.

Xue Poye came to the back of the house, looked in through the window, and saw that Xiao Shitou had fallen asleep on the bed, he was naturally overtired, while the green lady was resting at the table with her cheeks in her hands.

Xue Poye couldn't bear to disturb them, so he mobilized the breath of Dantian in the courtyard according to the method taught by Eunuch Qin, luckily, he really felt the somewhat cool energy of Dantian flowing in his body along with his consciousness. Where the skin protrudes, the energy can even be seen with the eyes, a pure white energy flows on the arm.

According to Eunuch Qin, warriors in this world are usually practicing two types of internal skills, one is warm qi, that is, the energy stored in the dantian is very warm, and the other is cold qi, which is The ecstasy mental method that Xue Poye is practicing now is cold energy internal strength.

There is a huge difference between the two. The best way to practice warm air is during the day or in a warm environment, while the rest method for cold air is of course the best at night. If you can practice cold air heart in the ice pool If the method is used, then it will have twice the result with half the effort.

From the point of view of gathering Qi, if you practice Warm Qi, you will store a lot of residual Qi in the dantian, leaving very little essence. However, when warm air flows through your body, there will be no chills, which is more comfortable than practicing cold Qi. , the practice of the cold air mental method, the later the body will bear the greater the cold air, and it can even freeze the practitioner, causing backlash.

After cold qi training, most of the energy stored in the dantian is pure yin and true qi, and there is very little residual qi, so the accumulated essence qi will be much purer.

Once the coldness has been cultivated to a certain level, then one can practice kung fu of the corresponding level, and the lethality of these kung fus is incomparable to practitioners of warmness, and these martial arts cheats of coldness are also treasures in the world.

It is said that in today's world, there are four people who have reached the Nine Dao martial arts, and three of them are cold air practitioners. From this, it can be seen that cold air is stronger than warm air.

Eunuch Qin is a cultivator of cold air, and his magical skills have reached the peak of the Eight Paths. As long as there is a coincidence or a flash of inspiration, he can rush to the ranks of the Nine Paths warriors at any time, but this coincidence and flash of inspiration are not so easy to appear .

Although Eunuch Qin didn't say much, but from the depths of his deep eyes, Xue Poye felt that he admired his ecstasy mentality very much, and was even a little jealous. Do you know that what you are practicing is "Ecstasy Heart Method"?

In fact, Xue Poye has always been wondering, how could this kind of kung fu be left behind by Xiao Shitou's parents, how could a couple who threw their children to the palace as servants be a pair of top masters?

But Xue Poye also understands that there are many wonders in this world, and some things are really hard to believe unless they appear in front of him, and it is even more difficult to explain.

When dawn appeared, Eunuch Qin was already in the Chanjuan Garden, sitting on the soft chair in front of the eldest princess.

The eldest princess looks in good spirits, her skin is shiny and smooth, sitting on the Jinlan embroidered couch, the white soft towel and the golden thread edge structure are gorgeous and luxurious, her pair of white, tender and plump feet are gently placed on the embroidered bed On the soft stool in front of you.

She is wearing very little today, a light white gauze covers her well-proportioned and delicate body like jade, the carcass inside is faintly visible, extremely fragrant, and because of this, a bead curtain is drawn in front of her today, through which, Only then can we dimly see the beautiful lady Xiangyu inside.

There were only three people in the bedroom, except for the Eldest Princess who seemed to be in good spirits and Eunuch Qin who was drowsy and drowsy, and Eunuch Guo who was standing beside the beaded curtain covered in floating dust.

Eunuch Guo who hung a death lantern in Liu Jin's yard last night!

"Eunuch Qin, it seems that you didn't sleep well last night!" The eldest princess gently patted the soft chair with her fragrant feet, with a relaxed smile, she looked extremely relaxed.

Eunuch Qin didn't raise his head, and said slowly, "Liu Jin is dead!"

The eldest princess sighed, but she didn't show any sad or depressed expression, she just said quietly: "Poor child."

The dawn light of the morning sun lightly sprinkled into the bedroom through the screen window.

Eunuch Guo was like a stone sculpture, standing beside him without any expression, or rather, there was a trace of anxiety in the depths of his eyes.

Eunuch Qin coughed twice, not violently, and said slowly: "They must be very happy now."

The eldest princess knew that the so-called "they" naturally referred to the master behind the murderer, or in other words, Ding Yi's master.

Eunuch Guo's eyelids twitched slightly as he stood beside the bead curtain.

"It will always make people happy to take advantage of you." The eldest princess giggled and said, "They can stab Liu Jin to death under your nose, no matter what, that is something worth celebrating, I think They are now drinking ointment wine in the Yuhe River in Kyoto."

A smile appeared on the corner of Eunuch Qin's mouth: "I want to drink too."

The wine came up quickly, and Eunuch Qin drank a large glass very comfortably, before sighing: "After drinking the ointment wine, I don't have any worries."

The Eldest Princess finally said: "We have finally passed this test, and I can be regarded as a businessman with the emperor's brother."

"The Holy Majesty will definitely be very satisfied with the princess." Eunuch Qin said softly, "I think the order to return to Beijing will come down in these two days, and the princess must also make preparations for returning to Beijing."

This is very strange. Why is the emperor satisfied with the eldest princess after Liu Jin died?What's the matter?

His Majesty the Emperor sent the boy, and the secret order required the Eldest Princess to protect him with all his strength, but Liu Jin was finally stabbed to death by the last killer move of the gray-robed man, so the Eldest Princess has not fulfilled His Majesty's orders, is this still a good thing? matter?

Eunuch Guo already had a strange expression on his face, looking very dazed.

"Eunuch Guo!" The Eldest Princess called softly, but Eunuch Guo's body trembled, a cold sweat broke out in fright, and he knelt down on the ground in a hurry, and said in a trembling voice: "The servant is here!"

The eldest princess smiled and said, "What's the matter? Eunuch Guo, are you in poor health?"

"No...no!" Eunuch Guo said with his head down.

Eunuch Qin didn't pay any attention to it, and actually closed his eyes, leaned on the soft chair, and regained his composure.

The eldest princess sighed, looked at Eunuch Guo beside the bead curtain with rippling eyes, and said softly, "You must be wondering why Liu Jin was stabbed, and I'm still so happy, right?"

"No...don't dare!"

"People always have a strange mentality. They always think that after a person has suffered a strong impact, his guard will relax." The eldest princess said quietly: "Their masters probably think of me the same way, sacrificing a group of loyal The elite subordinates, in exchange for only two points." She raised her head, blinked her eyes, her long eyelashes are so beautiful: "One, it just makes us feel that their most powerful attack is this round. The last blow, as long as this round of attacks is extinguished, we can relax our guard. Second, once these people make a surprise attack, many people who would not be able to get close to Liu Jin will be able to get close to Liu Jin, and among this group of people, there are them The final killer move."

Eunuch Guo's body had already started to tremble. He felt that the eldest princess's soft eyes had seen through every part of his body, even directly into his heart. He couldn't escape this woman's beautiful eyes at all in his thoughts.

"Their master was lucky enough to succeed in the end. The nail he set by my side was to kill the so-called boy they identified." The eldest princess said slowly with a moving smile: "So they must feel that they are It's a big winner."

Eunuch Guo knelt on the ground, his pupils began to shrink. The words of the eldest princess had a deep meaning, and the phrase "so-called boy" revealed some kind of mystery.

"Eunuch Guo, how long have you been with me, do you remember?" The eldest princess's dark eyes rolled slightly.

Eunuch Guo immediately replied: "The slave has been with the princess for six years and three months."

"It's been a long time." The eldest princess sighed: "Such a long time is enough for you to get to know a person."

"The slave is terrified. He only knows how to serve the princess, but never wants to get to know anyone." Eunuch Guo tried his best to keep calm.

The eldest princess shook her head, and said with a regretful expression: "But I think you must have understood me after all these years, otherwise you wouldn't have made me so happy for so many years, and made everything go well for a person. It’s easy to get to know each other first.”

Eunuch Guo touched his forehead to the ground and dared not speak.

"Have you ever seen me be so negligent in doing things, have you ever seen Eunuch Qin make a mistake?" The eldest princess's voice became cold.

Eunuch Guo repeatedly said: "Princess is careful, Eunuch Qin handles affairs safely, and this servant has never seen the princess and Eunuch Qin make mistakes."

The eldest princess immediately said: "Oh, it turns out that you really know us very well. But this time, Eunuch Qin and I let Liu Jin be stabbed right under our noses. Isn't this negligence, isn't this a mistake?"

Eunuch Guo tremblingly said: "Princess, I...!"

The eldest princess suddenly giggled and laughed happily: "Actually, it's very simple. We deliberately showed our flaws, followed your master's intentions, and deliberately let Ding Yi get close to Liu Jin. The purpose was just to let Ding Yi kill Liu Jin." .”

Eunuch Guo's body softened, and he almost collapsed, because the eldest princess said "your master", and the hairs on Eunuch Guo's whole body stood on end, that is to say, what he did, the eldest princess was already very clear.

"Just ask the world, how many people can kill Liu Jin under the watchful eyes of my Eunuch Qin, let alone Ding Yi of the Five Daoists." The eldest princess sighed: "If Eunuch Qin is not willing, who can do it?"

Eunuch Qin, who had been resting his eyes with his eyes closed, finally said with a smile, "Maybe they think I'm really old. When I get old alone, my reaction will always weaken."

The eldest princess giggled and said, "Maybe they really think so." Looking at Eunuch Guo, she said softly, "Eunuch Guo, do you think so too?"

Eunuch Guo was already sweating profusely, and his forehead was covered with beads of sweat, so he could only tremble: "I...I dare not...!"

The sun outside is gradually rising, and the light coming in from the window eaves is also gradually brightening.

The wind stopped, the clouds cleared, and the sky brightened!

"We made all kinds of arrangements to prevent anyone from getting close to Liu Jin, and set up nets inside and outside Liu Jin's courtyard, just to let everyone know that we are protecting Liu Jin very hard, and anyone who wants to hurt Liu Jin , that is very difficult!" The eldest princess explained slowly, as if she was telling a wonderful story.

What the eldest princess said made Eunuch Guo very puzzled and puzzled.

The purpose of this time was originally a plan to assassinate the boy. Now that Liu Jin is assassinated, that is to say, the boy is killed. It stands to reason that the eldest princess is already a loser. Why does she seem so relaxed, and even seems relieved? Great breath, like a stone in my heart fell to the ground.

The eldest princess quickly explained the problem with a very concise sentence.

"Our purpose is to let Liu Jin die in your hands, because in this way, the boy who many people are afraid of seems to be stabbed to death like this. No matter what the process is, this result will make many people feel relieved and will not do it again. Focus on this, because a dead threat has nothing left."

"Liu Jin's death allows the real boy to continue to live in safety. Few people seem to know this secret!"

The last words of the eldest princess made Eunuch Guo feel ashamed!
