Chapter 368: The County Heroes (Forty-Six)

When all the people left the palace, Hou Dayong stretched in the study and said to himself: "Everyone said that if you become an emperor, you will live like a god. Why do I have so many things here? Chai Rong is a diligent emperor, and I am afraid he will be exhausted to death." While thinking, he walked out of the study and saw the tiger in the forest being servicing two big dogs, and said: "Tiger in the forest, let's go two moves."

The last time he fought was at the Marquis' Mansion in the south of the city. At that time, Hou Dayong was swept a little whip by Lin Zhonghu, and he lost for a while. He had been trying to find an opportunity to compete again, but he became the emperor and was busy with affairs. Although Lin Zhonghu was shaking around in front of him every day, he did not compete again.

Those who can become Hou Dayong’s personal guards are all the leaders in the Black Eagle Army and are also some fighting people. Lin Zhonghu jumped in the yard for a few times, followed Hou Dayong happily, left the study courtyard, passed through a row of tall poplar trees, and heard some fighting sounds, and then passed through a wooden door, and arrived at the martial arts field.

The martial arts field is a newly leveled dam, which is tamped with fine loess. There are also some arrow targets on the side, with longbows and crossbows.

Hou Dayong's personal guard had more than 100 people, all following Hou Dayong into the palace. This martial arts field was their training ground. At this time, all the soldiers of the personal guard who were not on duty were focusing on the dam and venting their energy. Seeing that the emperor was coming, they immediately stopped, saluted, retreated outside the field, and gave up their seats for Hou Dayong.

Hou Dayong moved his wrists on the court for a while and said: "Armor" armor is a protective soft armor made by the personal guards, protecting important parts and special armor for bare-hand combat. During the competition of the personal guards, they were wearing armor to protect key parts. They were able to let go of their hands and feet during the competition.

Seeing that Your Majesty asked for armor mean that Your Majesty would fight with the personal guards again, several soldiers had already run up and helped Hou Dayong and Lin Zhonghu put on armor. After preparation, Hou Dayong said to Lin Zhonghu: "I haven't had a long battle, so it's still the same rule. You should take action first. You are welcome."

When Lin Zhonghu was in the front line, he often rushed to the front and crawled around in the sea of ​​blood. His moves had been washed very concise by the cruel war. He bowed to Hou Dayong and said, "Your Majesty, I'm making a move." Lin Zhonghu knew that Hou Dayong had suffered, so he showed no mercy. After saying that, he rushed straight to Hou Dayong's nose. The punch was as fast as the wind. Hou Dayong retreated slightly and avoided the sharpness of the fist. Lin Zhonghu raised his leg and whipped his fierce little leg. Then he went straight to Hou Dayong's calf.

The whip legs are the three most fierce killer moves of the tiger in the forest. They are extremely simple but extremely lethal. In order to practice this low whip legs, the tiger in the forest was forced to kick the wooden stake by his master for three years. At first, thick cloth strips were tied to the wooden stakes and legs. After a year, the cloth strips on the legs were removed. In the third year, the cloth strips on the wooden stakes were also removed. After three years of skill, a whip legs and a tree stump as thick as a bowl broke down.

Facing the sharp little whip legs, Hou Dayong did not retreat but advanced. He took a step forward and his body was close to the tiger in the forest. Because the two were almost close to each other and the distance was too short, the power of the whip legs could not be exerted. Hou Dayong's movements were very coherent, and while stepping, he hit the right elbow across. This hit hit the tiger in the forest heavily, and Hou Dayong was also showing mercy. If he fought with the enemy, the elbow would hit the opponent's cheek.

Even so, Lin Zhonghu was still shaken, and then his body lightened and had been thrown to the ground by Hou Dayong. These personal guards were all people who knew the goods. They had experienced the experience of the tiger's whip legs in the forest. At this time, when he saw that the tiger in the forest was easily knocked down by His Majesty, he was filled with cheers. Lin Zhonghu got up from the ground, shook his head, and said, "Your Majesty's magical martial arts, I lost again." Hou Dayong laughed and said, "Last time you kicked me hard, which hurt me for several days. This time I thought of a way to defeat the enemy." Hou Dayong was very careful in front of important officials. He usually called himself "I" when speaking, but in front of ordinary soldiers, he was very casual and usually called himself me.

When Hou Dayong was fighting with Lin Zhonghu, he was accidentally kicked into the thigh by a small whip. Although he had armor, he was still blue. This time he was waiting for the launch of the small whip leg, but he did not retreat but advanced. He immediately caught Lin Zhonghu off guard and easily defeated him. This non-retardation but advance seemed simple, but he grasped it just right. Without deep skills, he would never be able to do it.

Hou Dayong has been in this world for nine years. According to age, he is over forty, but he does not feel aging in his body at all. He is more energetic than he is eighteen or nineteen years old. His body's sensitivity, flexibility and strength have also been greatly improved. Hou Dayong is puzzled by this reason. Sports and long-distance movement cannot stop aging. So there can only be two reasons: is it a journey of time and space that causes changes in body functions, or is it the effect of practicing "Tian Dun Gong" every day?

If these two reasons are the conclusions, naturally, it is impossible to solve. In order to maintain a good health, Hou Dayong insisted on exercising properly every day and practicing "Tian Dun Gong" every day. His persistence has been ongoing for several years, and through his eyes, all the personal guards have developed this habit. In the past seven years, sergeants have been transferred out to serve as officers in the personal guards, and this diligent style has been constantly spread.

The Black Eagle Army's ability to maintain strong combat effectiveness has a lot to do with Hou Dayong's habit. Another world has a theory. The formation of a military personality is closely related to the style of the first commander. The commander's soul will penetrate into the army, greatly affecting the army, and inheriting it from generation to generation. The Black Eagle Army's personality has been deeply imprinted by Hou Dayong.

After defeating the tiger in the forest with one move, Hou Dayong was extremely satisfied with his physical condition and shouted to the soldiers around him: "The battlefield is ruthless, you must practice hard, practice hard, and practice hard again to have a chance to survive."

When he left the drill, Hou Dayong said, "The tiger in the forest stayed and practiced with the sergeant. Today, Duan Li will follow me." Duan Wu was the personal guard whom he had recently chosen to follow. He had no name, so he was Duan Sanlang. After becoming the personal guard, because he was the first in the personal guard, Hou Dayong named him Duan Li,

The guards agreed. Hou Dayong didn't take a few steps when he heard the tiger in the forest roar, "Don't laugh, who will fight me?"

The eunuch Yang has been waiting in the martial arts field. He has served three generations of emperors, including Guo Wei, Shizong Chai Rong, and Hou Dayong, and the three generations of emperors are all on the horse emperors. However, in terms of courage and spirit, Hou Dayong is the best. When Hou Dayong walked closer to the ground, Old Yang smiled and had a bit of charm in his smile, which made Hou Dayong get goosebumps all over his body.

Eunuch Yang bent over slightly and said, "Concubine Liu Xian has entered the palace." Eunuch Yang said this and then shut up. The palace is a place of right and wrong. The queen and concubines all have their own scheming. If one sentence is wrong, it may cause a big disaster for him. Eunuch Yang is an old eunuch and knows the consequences of it. He reported the situation of Liu Jiangjie entering the palace. Whether to go or not is up to His Majesty himself to decide.

When Hou Dayong heard that Liu Jiangjie had also entered the palace, he slowed down and said, "Concubine Liu Xian is here. Let's go and see."

In the Qinglin Palace, Liu Jiangjie sat alone in front of the window and suddenly became the imperial concubine, which made her quite confused.

In the past, in Shishan, due to the lack of population, marriage became a festival for the entire clan and even married a Hu girl. Everyone would have fun. The bride riding on a big white horse was the happiest and most impressive person in Shishan. Liu Jiangjie also became a bride riding on a white horse in her dream.

This dream was made for ten years, but it was gently shattered in Daliang City.

A carriage with royal imprints came to Liu Jiangqing's yard. A middle-aged eunuch with a serious expression took Liu Jiangjie to the palace politely and thoughtfully. Then he took Liu Jiangjie to a large yard and said, "Concubine Liu Xian. You live here, just give orders if you have anything to do." After that, the middle-aged eunuch gave a respectful salute and left the yard.

Without flowers, without a blessing, and without the children watching the excitement, Liu Jiangjie became the imperial concubine of the Great Zhou Dynasty in a deserted state.

Hou Dayong walked to the gate of Liu Xianfei's palace. Eunuch Yang was about to shout. Hou Dayong waved his hand and forced Eunuch Yang back. Seeing the eunuchs retreating aside, Hou Dayong gently pushed the door of the courtyard. The door was not locked and opened. He pushed the door and said, "You go down."

Liu Jiangjie heard footsteps. During the Northern Expedition, she was on the same boat as Hou Dayong. She was already quite familiar with Hou Dayong's footsteps. The pace of footsteps in the courtyard was very familiar. Liu Jiangjie was stunned and then realized that it was Hou Dayong coming. Her face was a little hot and her mouth was a little dry. She grabbed the handkerchief and kept stowing it.

The footsteps stopped beside the bed, and Liu Jiangjie, who was blushing, dared not raise her head at all.

“When did it arrive.”

Liu Jiangjie said with a sound like a mosquito ant: "I came in the morning."

After saying this, the two of them had nothing to say. Hou Dayong was determined to break the embarrassment. He looked up and down for a while and then smiled and said, "I have been sitting in the palace for a day, and my feet are exhausted. Help me rub my feet." When Liu Jiangjie was on the boat, she had to wash Hou Dayong's feet almost every day. When talking about the old things, Liu Jiangjie calmed down a little. She lowered her head and said, "I'll go and boil some water."

Seeing that she had not fully adapted to the corrupt life of food and clothes, Hou Dayong laughed and said, "You don't have to do these things in the future. If you have any needs, just let the eunuchs and palace maids do it." Liu Jiangjie raised her head. Not long after Shishan came back, there were traces of wind and sand on her face. She murmured: "Then what can I do in the palace?"

This sentence asked Hou Dayong. The main responsibility of the concubines in the palace was to sleep with the emperor to satisfy the emperor's desires, and to give birth to successors for the entire empire. Apart from these two major tasks, the concubines really had nothing to do.

After thinking for a while, Hou Dayong was careless and said, "Don't think so much. Go and ask the palace maids to boil some hot water and wash my feet well." Liu Jiangjie was about to stand up, and Hou Dayong gently pressed her shoulder and said, "Don't get up, just sit here and shout."

Although Liu Jiangjie's father was the Great Elder of Ricky, in Shishan, due to the shortage of population, there were basically no servants in each household. The Liu family was the Great Elder, and there were several middle-aged women of the same bone tribe as servants, mainly cooking, washing clothes and miscellaneous work at home. They did not serve adult children such as Liu Jiangqing and Liu Jiangjie. However, due to economic restrictions, there were only three servants in the Qing Mansion of Liu Jiangqing of Daliang.
