Sun Bingchen stayed in the palace for almost three hours before coming out. During these three hours, Yan Liqiang, who was in the squad room, also understood one thing. The undercurrent in the capital of the Han Empire was probably more serious than he imagined. Be intense.
Liang Yijie and he had just returned to the Imperial Capital yesterday. Today, someone challenged him to a duel with Liang Yijie in this squad room. This duel was probably more directed at Sun Bingchen. For some people, since Sun Bingchen was in Ganzhou The destruction of the Ye family has made some people unhappy. So, letting the evil spirits of heaven and earth kill a prince Xima in Huizhou City is probably not enough, and the deterrent effect is not strong enough. Therefore, Sun Bingchen's personal attendants must also be killed. Only if one of them dies can it be considered as a shock and a sufficient lesson for Sun Bingchen.
Duels on the stage of life and death are completely reasonable and legal in the Imperial Capital. This tradition has been passed down for thousands of years. The entire Imperial Capital, from high-ranking officials to dignitaries, down to the common people, fights for love and hatred. When there is no room for life and death, this stage of life and death has become a place where many people publicly make their ends. I heard that a long time ago, ministers of the DPRK and the Central Government would fight to the death on the platform because of political differences, but this was later explicitly banned. In addition, escorts with official status, such as Yan Liqiang and Liang Yijie, fought in life and death. Duels on stage are not prohibited.
When Sun Bingchen came out of the palace, the guards on duty outside came into the squad room to report. Then Yan Liqiang and Liang Yijie left the squad room and continued to escort Sun Bingchen back to the house in Chema Lane.
When leaving the squad room, Yan Liqiang secretly thought that in less than two days, the news that a personal attendant beside Sun Bingchen had only a warrior level would spread throughout the Imperial Capital.
Back at Sun Bingchen's house, the servants had just prepared lunch. After the three of them finished lunch, Sun Bingchen called Yan Liqiang and Liang Yijie into his study at the same time.
"Yi Jie, I heard that Xu Lang, the personal bodyguard of Mr. Qu, made a fight with you in the squad room?" Sun Bingchen's face was a little solemn.
"I didn't expect that the adults already knew about it, and I was just about to tell the adults about it!"
"Of course I know. I just left His Majesty and while I was still in the palace, someone told me what happened in the squad room. When Xu Lang opened his mouth today, he was clearly trying to provoke you and trick you!" Sun Bingchen sighed. He took a breath and said, "On the surface, this matter is directed at you, but in fact, it is directed at me. I am the one who has caused you trouble!"
Liang Yijie's expression was relatively calm, "The grudge between me and Xu Lang has lasted for more than a day or two. If I hadn't cared about each other's identities, I would have killed him with my sword. We both dislike each other, Xu Lang He always wants my life, so why don’t I want to end him? If I have a chance to end it this time, let’s end it. It’s still unknown who will fall into whose trap!”
"Then you know that Xu Lang was in seclusion in the past few months when we last left the Imperial Capital. This time he came out of seclusion and heard that his cultivation level had greatly improved. He was not far away from advancing. This time with Xu Lang The wave dares to provoke you, it must have been planned for a long time!"
"The battle of life and death is not simply a competition of cultivation level. Personal judgment, ability to respond to situations, fighting will, and even luck are all very important factors. Throughout the ages, in battles of life and death, low-level people have killed high-level ones. There are countless examples. Not to mention that Xu Lang and I are still at the same level of cultivation. Even if he is a level higher than me now, I am not afraid of him! "
"Now that I have returned to the Imperial Capital, I no longer have to worry about my personal safety. My battlefield is above the court, not below it. Then for the next month, just put aside what you are doing. , I have nothing to do here for the time being, so just find a place to retreat and practice, and prepare yourself for the stage of life and death!"
"Yes!" Liang Yijie hugged Sun Bingchen and did not refuse. After accepting the challenge of Xu Lang's life and death battle today, he indeed needed to retreat for a while to prepare for this battle.
"And Li Qiang..." Sun Bingchen's eyes suddenly turned to Yan Liqiang's face, and his expression suddenly softened, "I am also about to discuss something with you!"
"Sir, please tell me!" Yan Liqiang muttered secretly in his heart, wondering what Sun Bingchen wanted to discuss with him.
"Thanks to Li Qiang for your support all the way from Ganzhou this time, I made the right choice when I chose you as my personal attendant in Ganzhou that day!"
"Your Excellency, you are complimenting me. This is what Li Qiang should do. Compared with your Excellency, you have eliminated a great harm to the people of Ganzhou and Pingxi County, and my contribution is really nothing!"
"There is no need to be modest about Li Qiang. Even if we look at the entire Imperial Capital, there are not many people with your ability at your age!" Sun Bingchen waved his hand, "The reason why I chose you in Pingxi City was When I become my attendant, I am of course interested in Li Qiang’s ability and character, but the most important thing is that I don’t want you to be buried in Pingxi City. After leaving Huizhou City in the past few days, I I have been thinking that after coming to the Imperial Capital, I can no longer keep you by my side. At your age now, it is the time when you should practice hard and develop your skills. If I keep you by my side, it seems to be that I value you. , in the long run, it will also delay you... "
Yan Liqiang was stunned for a moment by Sun Bingchen's words. He was originally hesitating whether to tell Sun Bingchen about asking for leave at this time, but he didn't expect that Sun Bingchen thought further than him, "My lord, please don't say that. I am by your side these days. I also learned a lot! ”
"Haha, it doesn't matter if you don't learn the red tape of welcoming people, going to the officialdom, and the officialdom. If you don't learn the etiquette, these things will strengthen your intelligence and understanding with etiquette. By that time, you will naturally understand, so why do you need me to come? Teach, this world respects martial arts. If you want to be a superior person, if you want to be a pillar of the country, you still need to rely on strength and cultivation. If Li Qiang and your strength and cultivation are achieved, everything will come to you now, Li Qiang! You are still young, only fifteen years old. If you can concentrate on practicing for five or ten years and reach a higher level of cultivation, then it will be easy for you to achieve great success, and you will be able to gain fame and wealth at your fingertips!" Sun Bingchen stroked his beard! , said to Yan Liqiang with a smile.
"Then I don't know what you mean..."
"I have arranged a position for you, Li Qiang, that is more suitable for your current situation. You will be working as an errand in Luyuan in the western suburbs of Imperial Capital..."
Hearing that Sun Bingchen arranged for Yan Liqiang to go to Luyuan, Liang Yijie looked at Sun Bingchen in surprise, but said nothing.
Yan Liqiang scratched his head in confusion, "Sir, where is this Luyuan...?"
"Deer Garden is the royal family's villa outside the Imperial City. It is also the place where His Majesty practiced archery and martial arts when he was young. Your Majesty seldom goes to Lu Garden now, so Lu Garden is usually very quiet, with basically no errands and no one to disturb you. It’s just right for you, Li Qiang, to practice peacefully. As my attendant, Li Qiang, your official registration will be with the Imperial Mabu Division, and the people stationed at Luyuan are the troops of the Imperial Mabu Division. If you go, Li Qiang, be a The guards of Luyuan are just as they say. Li Qiang, just pack your things tonight. You don’t have to be my personal attendant tomorrow. You can just report to Luyuan... "
"grown ups… "
"Li Qiang, you don't have to say anything. I know what you want to say. I, Sun Bingchen, was originally doing things for His Majesty. When you work for me by my side, you are doing things for Your Majesty. The Imperial Horse Bus Division is your Majesty's men. Take orders directly from His Majesty. When you go to Luyuan, you are also doing things for His Majesty. It is no different than working by my side. I am just as happy. As for me, you don’t have to worry. Even if you and Yijie are not here, I am a court official. , there are people around to take care of it, everything will not be affected! "
What else could Yan Liqiang say? Sun Bingchen had already arranged everything before he opened his mouth. Therefore, at this time, Yan Liqiang stopped being hypocritical and could only give Sun Bingchen a heavy fist and said in a deep voice, "Thank you very much." Your Majesty, please do it!”
"Li Qiang, you have performed many meritorious services by my side and helped me a lot. This is what you deserve, Li Qiang. By the way, in the Deer Garden, there are still a few experts and strangers that His Majesty gathered in the past, living in seclusion there. Li Qiang If you have the opportunity in Luyuan, you might as well ask those experts for advice. You will definitely gain something... "
