Back to Tang Dynasty to be Emperor

Back at the mansion, Li Ke came to the backyard alone. Liu Wen had been waiting for a long time. When he saw Li Ke, he just cupped his hands slightly and said, "I have seen Your Highness."

Concubine Yang told Li Ke to treat Liu Wen like a disciple.So Li Ke was very polite to Liu Wen, and said: "Master, there is no need to be so polite to Ke. Although we are not masters and apprentices, the master who taught Ke martial arts is Ke's mentor, and I would like to treat him like a disciple in the future." After speaking, he saluted and said, "Ke pay homage to the master."

Seeing his firm tone, Liu Wen knew that he had made up his mind, so he followed his will and accepted Li Ke's gift: "Since Your Highness wishes to worship this old slave as a teacher, this old slave will accept this great gift from His Highness. However, Mr. Your Highness should be cautious about the matter of slave teaching martial arts in the future. Also, the name of master and apprentice can only be called when there are two people, the old slave and His Highness."

Li Ke immediately understood, and said: "Ke remember the master's teachings carefully."

Liu Wen was indeed a good teacher. Seeing that Li Ke understood his meaning, he stopped dwelling on the matter and asked straight to the point: "How does Your Highness understand swordsmanship?"

Although Li Ke doesn't know swordsmanship, he has seen sword dancers. In the memory of his previous life, he often saw heroes in film and television dramas walking around the rivers and lakes with swords, killing one person in ten steps, and never stopping for thousands of miles.With powerful internal strength, even a fallen leaf can hurt people invisible.However, he was not sure whether such people existed in the Tang Dynasty, with such swordsmanship and internal strength.Then he said to Liu Wen: "Master, what Ke wants to ask is whether there is any internal strength in today's world."

Liu Wen was surprised when he heard the word internal strength.After all, the matter of internal strength only exists in the Jianghu, and ordinary people know little about it.He didn't understand why Li Ke would know.Can't help but ask: "Your Highness also knows about internal strength?"

Li Ke was startled, and immediately covered it up: "When I was still in the palace, I heard Qin Huaiyu mention it occasionally." He knew that it was impossible for Liu Wen to go to the Qin residence to ask Qin Huaiyu how he knew about internal strength, so he dared to make such nonsense.

Liu Wen nodded, and stopped asking about Li Ke's knowledge of internal strength. Qin Qiong traveled across the rivers and lakes back then, and it was understandable for Li Ke to hear about internal strength from Qin Huaiyu.He also explained to Li Ke: "Inner strength does exist in the world, and such miraculous strength cannot be obtained by accident, and because it is quite difficult to practice, there are very few people who practice it, and even fewer people who achieve it. "

When Li Ke heard Liu Wen say that it did exist, he was very happy. He didn't expect that such martial arts as internal strength really existed. Does that mean that he can also practice superb martial arts?He thought that since Liu Wen knew about internal strength, he must have practiced it.He tentatively asked: "Then can the master be able to fly over the roof? I don't know what level of internal strength has reached?"

Liu Wen said calmly: "The old slave has been studying art for 50 years, and he has achieved a little success." Although he said so, his tone was very arrogant, which showed that Liu Wen was very satisfied with his state of internal strength.Then he said: "Your Highness, please take a look." After finishing speaking, he took off a leaf and threw it casually. With a sound of "嗖", the leaf fell deeply into the pillars of the pavilion.

Li Ke was so shocked by Liu Wen's skill that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear, and stood there silent for a long time.

Seeing Li Ke in a daze, Liu Wen encouraged him and said, "If your Highness persists in practicing hard in the future, I believe the achievements will be higher than that of the old slave."

Hearing what Liu Wen said, Li Ke came back to his senses, and hurriedly saluted Liu Wen: "Master, please accept Ke's method of internal strength cultivation."

Liu Wen said to Li Ke seriously: "Actually, what this old servant wants to teach His Highness is a set of swordsmanship. The internal strength is only auxiliary. Swordsmanship is the guarantee for His Highness to live and work and accomplish great things in the future."

Li Ke listened quietly, and Liu Wen continued: "The method of internal strength lies in gradual progress. The old slave has worked hard for 50 years to achieve what he is today. Although His Highness is smart, it will take at least 40 years to achieve a little success. And swordsmanship It's different, as long as His Highness studies hard, with His Highness's aptitude and willpower, supplemented by the method of inner strength, you can achieve small success in two years, few people can beat you in five years, and you can achieve great success in ten years. What His Highness has done This matter is far more important than martial arts, martial art is only one or two things His Highness has learned, I hope His Highness will not focus on swordsmanship."

Li Ke knew that Liu Wen wanted him to practice swordsmanship so that he could defend himself in life.And he also seemed to understand that he did not learn martial arts for self-defense, so he said that he should not spend time and energy on internal strength.It is said that martial arts is only part of what I have to learn, and there is still a lot to learn by myself.Li Ke was very curious why Liu Wen said that, and the feeling Liu Wen gave him made him feel that this person was not simple.Only then did he understand why Concubine Yang asked him to treat Liu Wen as a disciple.Because Liu Wen is definitely not just a eunuch next to Concubine Yang.Thinking of this, Li Ke respectfully said: "Ke remember the teachings of the master carefully."

Seeing that Li Ke understood what he meant, Liu Wen changed his tone, and said to Li Ke: "Just now, this old slave asked His Highness, what does His Highness understand about swordsmanship, and has he ever practiced swordsmanship?"

Li Ke said that he didn't understand or practice swords, he didn't know how to use a sword, and he didn't know the way of swordsmanship.Liu Wen didn't show any expression, and warned: "Actually, as long as the swordsmanship can kill people, it is a good swordsmanship. Learning swordsmanship is for self-defense and for safety and security. Therefore, Your Highness, don't take it too seriously."

Liu Wen's words reminded Li Ke of a saying: A blind cat is a dead cat, and a cat that can catch mice is a good cat.Then suddenly said: "Ke understands the meaning of the master."

Liu Wen was very satisfied with Li Ke's ability to understand, and then he began to teach Li Ke the most basic movements and some necessary knowledge for learning swords.Li Ke studied very seriously. Under Liu Wen's guidance, he mastered the method of wielding the sword and some precautions in an hour.

Li Ke never missed asking Liu Wen for advice during his free time, and Liu Wen explained to him the mistakes and deficiencies that occurred in the practice.In the afternoon, Li Ke was practicing alone. Liu Wen watched Li Ke's every movement from afar. If there was anything wrong, he always pointed out and corrected it in due course.In this way, Li Ke repeated the movements Liu Wen taught him all afternoon, waving the long sword in his hand tirelessly.

"Your Highness, you can rest for a while." Hearing Liu Wen's words, Li Ke put away his sword and came to the pavilion.He said to Liu Wen, "Master, what do you think of Ke's practice?"

Liu Wen glanced at Li Ke, who was dripping with sweat, and said, "Your Highness has strict requirements on every movement, and you can practice it tirelessly and master it in an afternoon. It can be seen that His Highness is very talented and very incomparable. The old man This slave will teach His Highness the real swordsmanship tomorrow."

Li Ke was very excited after hearing this, not because Liu Wen praised him for his extraordinary talent, but because he was encouraged that Liu Wen could teach him the real swordsmanship tomorrow.To be honest, he almost spent the whole day today in a sword movement and a sword dance posture that Liu Wen taught him.If he hadn't made up his mind to acquire martial arts, if he hadn't known that it would be difficult for him to gain a foothold in the martial arts-loving Tang Dynasty without martial arts, and for the sake of protecting himself in order to fight for reserves in the future, it would be difficult for him to persevere.

Liu Wendao: "Now this old slave is passing on the method of internal strength to His Highness, and I hope His Highness can practice it diligently. The method of internal strength can only be regarded as a kind of auxiliary power for sword practitioners in the early stage. In the process of practicing swords, there is a constant source of energy. The power can be transmitted to the arms and various parts of the body, reducing the excessive loss of body energy, which is of great help to His Highness in practicing swords."

Li Ke listened carefully to Liu Wen teaching him the formula, as well as some essentials for posture and attention.After Liu Wen finished speaking, let Li Ke repeat it again to avoid mistakes.Li Ke repeated what Liu Wen said.Liu Wen was very satisfied after hearing this, and asked him not to tell others about it casually, and told him to practice swords in the morning and evening.Li Ke is very satisfied with Liu Wen's arrangement. In the morning and afternoon, he has to study calligraphy and painting, as well as the art of war. The morning and evening are also his most satisfying time slots.

After dinner, Li Ke returned to his room and began to practice internal strength according to the formulas and postures taught by Liu Wen.There was no reaction at the beginning, Li Ke couldn't help being a little suspicious, but the doubts were doubts, he still persevered, and after a long time, he felt a faint heat flowing in his body, which made him very comfortable.Following Li Ke's guidance, this heat flow traveled through Li Ke's body, making that part of his body feel extremely comfortable wherever he went.Li Ke was extremely excited, and the appearance of this heat wave swept away his exhaustion from practicing swords during the day.As Liu Wen said, internal force can indeed replenish one's strength and allow one to get a better rest when exerting too much force.

The next morning, Li Ke came to the backyard, and Liu Wen taught Li Ke sword moves. Li Ke swung the long sword according to the sword moves Liu Wen had received, and Liu Wen pointed out beside him.

Because Li Shimin also punished him for copying Qian Bian's "Lanting Preface".Therefore, in the morning, he practiced calligraphy alone in calligraphy.However, he is not very unfamiliar with calligraphy. At any rate, he copied Wang Xizhi's copybooks in his previous life, and he was able to write good characters.Therefore, the punishment of Li Shimin has undoubtedly become the best excuse for Li Ke to practice calligraphy with peace of mind.

In the afternoon, Li Ke will also learn to bow and shoot salvo.As the saying goes, never leave your tune, never leave your fist.Although, in Li Ke's memory, he is very proficient in bowing horses, riding and shooting.However, now it is Li Ke who has traveled through time, even if he knows that he is familiar with it, he can't slack off.

The month of confinement was spent day by day like this. Under Liu Wen's guidance, Li Ke's swordsmanship improved by leaps and bounds. He had already mastered Liu Wen's swordsmanship by heart.Liu Wen was very pleased that Li Ke could master the moves so quickly.So he asked Li Ke to practice against him.Holding a long sword in his hand, Li Ke attacked Liu Wen repeatedly, but Liu Wen resolved them one by one.Liu Wen's sword was fast, precise and accurate. Liu Wen attacked him, but Li Ke couldn't make a move under Liu Wen.But Li Ke was not discouraged. Liu Wen had been practicing swordsmanship for 50 years, but he had only practiced for less than a month.Therefore, he could only encourage himself in his heart, and secretly made up his mind to work hard to reach Liu Wen's level.And calligraphy has also achieved a little success, and he copied Wang Xizhi's brushwork very much. If you are not very proficient in calligraphy, it will definitely be difficult to distinguish the authenticity from the fake.Needless to say, bowing horses and shooting salvos, because they have the foundation, so they are more skilled.

This afternoon, Li Ke came out of the study and went to the backyard. After practicing the sword for a moment, he saw Xiao Baozi running towards him in a hurry.Li Ke reprimanded
