"Master, Lord Hou still needs me, so I'll go first and look forward to your good news." Outside the Guan residence, Yan Wei smiled.
"Uncle Wei has a smooth journey." Chen Zong also said with a smile: "By the way, tell Master, I will try my best to fight for it."
"Okay." Yan Wei waved his hands, turned around and strode away without any reluctance.
For warriors like them, gathering and parting is nothing more than normal, life and death are nothing.
After Yan Wei left, Chen Zong stayed temporarily in the Guan Mansion in the inner city of the capital.
This is the master's home, and it's normal to live here by yourself.
According to what Zheng Yuanhou said, the current title of national scholar is only preliminary, not the final decision, and needs to wait.
The residence arranged by Zheng Yuanhou for Chen Zong is called Hongfengyuan.
Compared with the outer city, the inner city is not large, but the area is also very extensive. In addition to the royal palaces in the entire inner city, there are palaces of important officials in the court, such as the palace of the king, the mansion of the marquis, and the mansion of the commander. , each mansion occupies a very large area, and there are many courtyards in the mansion, each of which is different.
The Red Maple Garden is full of red maple trees, and now it is late autumn, the maple leaves are like stars and covered with branches, a large area of red, bright and dazzling.
Fenghong wins fire, referring to the leaves of the red maple tree.
The front door of the Red Maple Garden is made of white jade. The round jade white color echoes with the flaming red maple in the garden, which is indescribably vivid and thrilling.
Stepping into Baiyumen, Chen Zong smelled a clear and unique smell, which belonged to the smell of red maple, with a unique aroma.
The trail paved with white crushed jade meanders along the way, and on the left and right sides, there are maple leaves hanging down. Along the trail, there are several houses made of black and red ancient wood.
In Hongfeng Garden, it is fully equipped.
There are bedrooms, etc. for daily use, there are exercise rooms, etc., and there are people who deliver meals.
Hongfengping is octagonal, tens of meters wide, surrounded by rockery and flowing water, with maple leaves hanging down, and the scenery is unique.
The two sword lights of different colors are like butterflies piercing flowers, dancing gracefully, with mysterious and unpredictable trajectories.
The sword was erratic, suddenly piercing straight, sharp and decisive, as if piercing through everything in the world, invincible, when the power was about to be exhausted, it suddenly changed, and it slanted downwards, it was indescribably tricky and weird .
The other sword appeared from a blind spot, as if jumping out of a sea of nothingness, attacking the unprepared by surprise, but it contained terrifying power to slash.
The combination of the two swords is just right, just like the perfect interpretation of two sword masters with a high degree of tacit understanding.
He practiced diligently, and saw Yan Wei attack many times in the past month, and Yan Wei also intentionally instructed Chen Zong. Therefore, in terms of swordsmanship, Chen Zong's progress is obvious, especially the double swordsmanship, which is a bit more exquisite .
On the Red Maple Lawn, there are countless sword lights, either piercing straight, or vertically and horizontally, or curved like a waning moon, or winding like silk threads, flexible like eels in the water.
Every sword seems to contain astonishing sharpness, which can cut through fine steel without causing the slightest damage to everything around, showing Chen Zong's amazing control over power.
An hour later, Chen Zong retracted his sword, but the countless sword lights were still moving in the air, until after a few breaths, it slowly faded and disappeared.
There was a crackling sound, and someone was clapping their hands, and Chen Zong saw three figures walking along the winding broken jade path.
Two men and one woman, wearing brocade clothes and jade blessings, with a long sword on their waist and a green jade pendant on the other side, are extraordinary.
"What advice do you three have?" Chen Zong asked calmly, he had just focused on practicing swords, and these three people's cultivation base is not low, when they came in, their voices were subtle, and they didn't notice it when they were far away.
"I heard that you are my uncle's apprentice?" One of the young men looked Chen Zong up and down, as if he was looking at the goods, which made Chen Zong unhappy, but he didn't get angry, but looked at him instead.
According to what the other party said, then this person should be the son of Zheng Yuanhou.
The son of Zheng Yuanhou, his status is not low, and this person's aura fluctuation is at the peak of the ninth rank of training strength, but he doesn't know how powerful he is, so he should not be low.
"I heard that your purpose is for the title of national scholar?" Seeing that Chen Zong didn't respond, the son of Zheng Yuanhou was a little displeased, and his face sank. Very playful look, as if to watch the fun.
"Yes." Chen Zong nodded.
"I said, you're done. The title of national scholar is not something that a bumpkin from a small place like you can covet. I advise you to go back wherever you came from." The man sneered.
The son of Marquis Zhengyuan didn't speak again, but the meaning contained in his expression was the same.
"You are afraid." Chen Zong ignored the young man, his eyes fell directly on the face of Zheng Yuanhou's son, and he said calmly.
As if being guessed, the son of Marquis Zhengyuan's expression darkened involuntarily.
"Scared..." The young man next to Zheng Yuanhou's son suddenly screamed, his eyes blazed with a frightening light: "Who do you think you are, a bumpkin from a small place, who would be afraid of you."
"Chen Zong, right? Since you don't leave, don't regret it when the time comes. The title of national scholar is not something you can get with some luck." The son of Marquis Zhengyuan spoke again, with a cold and inexplicable threat in his voice , quite a momentum.
In fact, the son of Marquis Zheng Yuan is not afraid. He also wants to become a national scholar, but he is not guaranteed. Naturally, he must reduce as many opponents as possible. The fewer opponents, the greater the chance of being canonized as a national scholar.
It is best to drive Chen Zong away, but there is no way to drive him away, after all, this is Lin Shanhou's disciple.
A little accidental episode did not disturb Chen Zong's training plan. Chen Zong seized every minute of his training and worked hard to improve his cultivation and combat power as much as possible.
As night fell, Chen Zong stood in the red maple plain, closed his eyes, and practiced the Xiaogushan visualization technique.
After traveling for a month, there was no time to practice this Enlightenment Technique, and the progress slowed down.
Chen Zong also found that the effect of practicing Xiaogushan Visualization Technique here seems to be not as good as that practiced on the climbing list.
"Perhaps, I should look for a mountain outside the city." Chen Zong secretly thought.
"Who?" Just after finishing the practice of Xiaogushan Visualization Technique, Chen Zong felt a slight wave of fluctuations, turned around quickly, his eyes were like sharp swords out of their sheaths, and the sword light streaked across the night sky.
There was no response to the words, but a strong wind howled, and a dazzling sword light tore the night sky apart. It was sharp and decisive, and it flew over ten meters in an instant, cutting towards Chen Zong's face.
As soon as he made a move, Chen Zong judged that this sword had a three-star limit combat power, and his swordsmanship was superb, and he was a master of swordsmanship.
The Red Thunder Sword was unsheathed, like a red lightning flashed across the sky, hit the opponent's sword, and the moment the sword body collapsed, it stabbed towards the opponent's front door along the trajectory.
No matter who the sneak attacker is, Chen Zong will not be polite.
The black shadow made a turning point in mid-air, avoiding Chen Zong's sword like a boomerang, and came from the other side. What greeted him was the second sword light, which cut down as if opening up the world.
With a single strike, the black shadow felt suffocated, as if he had turned into a mountain and was about to be split in half.
Holding up the sword to resist, the tyrannical force was like a mountain suppressing, the whole person was directly chopped off, the long sword trembled, the black shadow took advantage of the situation and pointed on the rockery. Spinning and blasting towards Chen Zong, the black shadow took this opportunity to fly back at an extremely fast speed.
After the two swords fell and smashed the three sword qi, the black shadow had disappeared. After chasing for a certain distance, Chen Zong found that the black shadow had completely disappeared.
Chen Zong did not continue to pursue, but returned to Hongfeng Garden. He was sure that this black shadow must be a warrior from Guan Mansion, otherwise he would not be so familiar with Guan Manor.
Chen Zong could also feel that the opponent did not intend to kill, perhaps, he came with the idea of teaching him a lesson.
Basically combined, Chen Zong knew who the black shadow was, and he didn't intend to tell Zheng Yuanhou about it, it was just some small tricks.
…
With a swish, a black shadow flew in from the window and landed soundlessly.
"I'm back, what's the result of the test?" After pouring himself a glass of fine wine, Guan Yunxiao, the son of Marquis Zhengyuan, opened his mouth with a sapphire wine glass.
"Young Master Xiao, Chen Zong's combat power barely reaches four stars." The man in black took off his mask, revealing the face of the young man who had repeatedly scolded and mocked Chen Zong during the day.
"Barely a four-star combat power, um, it's not surprising to be accepted as a disciple by my uncle." Guan Yunxiao was surprised at first, and then smiled nonchalantly after drinking the fine wine in the glass.
Four-star combat power may be rare in Linshan County and other places, and it can be regarded as the well-deserved number one, but it is nothing in places like Wangdu.
For example, Guan Yunxiao's combat strength has reached four stars.
"Young Master Xiao, do you think we should take him..." A trace of cruelty flashed in the eyes of the young man in black.
"No, no matter what, he is my uncle's disciple. If he does too much, he will not give my uncle face, and my father will not be happy at that time." Guan Yunxiao sneered: "Originally, I gave him A chance, to retreat in spite of difficulties, so as not to be embarrassing and ruin my uncle's reputation, since he refuses, relying on his four-star combat power, let him suffer, and know that the king is not a small People from other places can have fun.”
"Young Master Xiao has a plan." The young man in black's eyes lit up and he smiled immediately.
"I have some ideas, but I still need the cooperation of the other party." Guan Yunxiao sneered.
It's just that Chen Zongpei doesn't cooperate, so it's not clear.
"Young Master Xiao, I have an idea that Chen Zong must cooperate if he doesn't cooperate." The young man in black rolled his eyes and laughed: "Didn't Master Hou tell Young Master Xiao to find a time to take Chen Zong with him?" Go to Qunlong Pavilion for the assessment, just take this opportunity to give him a hard blow."
Guan Yunxiao nodded after thinking for a while, this method is feasible.
Throughout the night, Chen Zong did not rest, and kept practicing.
Swordsmanship, martial arts, and Xiaogushan visualization technique, all of these must be practiced, and none of them can be left behind.
In a blink of an eye, the sky was twilight, and Chen Zong also finished his whole night of cultivation, and was sitting cross-legged in the red maple plain to meditate.
Ever since practicing Xiaogushan Visualization Technique, the feeling of being in touch with nature is so wonderful that Chen Zong will always practice outside his room whenever he has the opportunity.
