The previous section said that Zhang Xia was resting in bed and felt that he had improved a bit. What was the improvement? It turned out to be his own state of mind. Zhang Xia felt that he could actually simulate fighting with his heart. This was a new discovery and a very important one.

A rare skill. Zhang Xia fell asleep after thinking about it.

The next day, Zhang Xia got up and went directly to the East Palace and Qingying Palace. Today was Monday, and Murong Zhi didn't have to go to the East Palace to practice with the prince. She went to Master Chen Yi herself.

Prince Zhu Eryang started practicing martial arts in Qingying Palace early in the morning. Zhang Xia walked out of Zhang Mansion and saw a few familiar figures from behind. He didn't pay attention and continued walking to the palace.

Between the east and west streets was the main road leading to the palace. Zhang Xia had already walked on this main road. Suddenly, more than ten people suddenly appeared on the roof tiles of the shops on both sides. They shot Zhang Xia with Zhuge crossbows.

Countless arrows shot at Zhang Xia, and Xiao Xia retreated sharply, but Zhuge Crossbow shot again in the direction of his retreat, and Xiao Xia felt that he could not hold on any longer.

Zhang Xia used three quick moves and attacked the archers on the house, killing three people in an instant. This was not the first time he was ambushed, and it would not be the last. Zhang Xia has a lot of ability to deal with ambush.

, this time was no exception, he quickly killed all the archers, Zhang Xia knew that the ambush was definitely not over yet, and sure enough, a man walked out clapping his hands, looking like a guard, he said: "I have heard for a long time.

General Zhengdong has great martial arts skills and quick reactions, and now that I have seen him, he is indeed well-deserved!"

Zhang Xia said: "Who are you? Why do you want to ambush me?"

The man said: "Don't worry about who I am, let's start fighting!"

Zhang Xia once again used the Three Swift Moves. This man actually resisted Di Po Kong and Fengshen Kick. Zhang Xia felt that this man's strength was really terrifying. He used Qing Gong and waited for this man to make a move, but unexpectedly he never made a move.

Zhang Xia felt very strange, and he said: "Why don't you take action? What is the purpose of your coming here?"

No matter how Zhang Xia attacked, this person just didn't attack Zhang Xia.

Zhang Xia said: "Are you here specifically to defend?"

The man said: "I'm just here to defend you. If you're not convinced, come on!"

Zhang Xia then performed the Three Swift Moves, and this time the man was actually knocked back three steps, which was an improvement compared to before.

The man said: "Not bad, can it be stronger?"

Zhang Xia raised his power to the highest level and used the three swift and fierce moves again. The man was sent flying away, and Zhang Xia took the opportunity to enter the palace.

This man did not chase him, as if he deliberately let him into the palace. He seemed to have completed his task and turned around to leave.

After Zhang Xia arrived at Qingying Hall, he vomited out a mouthful of blood. Zhang Xia quickly sat down and meditated. He found that his injuries were not serious, but that his internal energy was consumed too much.

Prince Zhu Eryang saw the master coming in and was injured. He quickly came over to check and saw the master meditating. He did not speak for the time being and waited aside.

Zhang Xia adjusted his breath for almost an hour before finishing. He performed a set of Tai Chi exercises and felt that his internal strength had been restored and his injuries were healed. Prince Zhu Eryang was very happy for his master Zhang Xia.

Zhang Xia didn't want Prince Zhu Eryang to know that he was ambushed, so he only talked about the injuries he had sustained in the fight with the guards. Zhang Xia learned Prince Zhu Eryang's three swift and violent moves, and left the Qingying Palace in the East Palace not long after.

He returned to Zhang's Mansion and talked about being ambushed during the day. He mentioned the terrifying guard's martial arts. People in the manor helped him analyze many people, but he denied them all. Finally, Zhu Erya mentioned that he was the emperor's

The secret guard, Zhang Xia, confirmed her speculation and said: "I think it's possible, otherwise he wouldn't be so strong. My three swift movements can hardly cause any harm to him."

The fourth wife, Murong Xiaoxiao, was going to give birth next month and could not stay up late. After chatting with them for a long time, she went to bed first.

Zhang Xia and the others initially estimated that they were the emperor's secret guards who came to test him. Zhang Xia decided to test the emperor tomorrow. Although he knew that this might anger the emperor, he still decided to do it.

Murong Zhi has been staying with Master Chen Yi for the past few days to avoid being unable to practice for morning runs every morning. Zhang Xia and the people in the house have told him not to let Murong Zhi know that he was ambushed. Murong Zhi is impulsive by nature and he is afraid

She went to stir up trouble. When the matter involves the royal family, you cannot use the usual way of handling things. Although Zhang Xia is not an experienced person, he still understands this basic point.

The next day, Zhang Xia arrived at Qingying Palace early as usual. After saying a few words to Prince Zhu Eryang, Zhang Xia asked Prince Zhu Eryang to practice by himself first, and then he would fight with him. When he heard that the master would fight with him

Prince Zhu Eryang seemed very excited about the fight. He warmed up actively, stretched his body, and meditated for a long time before saying that he was ready. Zhang Xia was actually not prepared to fight with Prince Zhu Eryang before.

He just wanted to lure the emperor to show up. It must be said that Zhang Xia's move was very risky, but he had to do it.

The duel between the two began immediately. Zhang Xia had no intention of letting go at the beginning, so the prince Zhu Eryang felt the pressure from the beginning, unprecedented pressure, but he gritted his teeth and held on. The emperor finally came, and he stopped the duel in time. He put

Zhang Xia called aside and asked, "Why is Zhang Aiqing so serious about this duel?"

Zhang Xia replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, if you are not serious, you will not gain practical experience. Your Majesty, do you think so?"

The emperor immediately wanted to leave, but Zhang Xia followed him and asked, "Is the guard who appeared on the main road yesterday the emperor's secret guard?"

The emperor did not answer Zhang Xia's words, but Zhang Xia actually already knew the answer, which was the emperor's secret guard. Before leaving, the emperor said: "Teach the prince well, I'm leaving!"

Zhang Xia respectfully saw the emperor off and turned back to the prince.

Prince Zhu Eryang asked: "Master, what did you say to your father?"

Zhang Xia said: "Nothing, just chatting for a few words."

Prince Zhu Eryang didn't want to ask any more questions and continued to practice. Zhang Xia said: "Yang'er, in fact, we have basically taught you everything we can teach here. The only thing left is that you have to practice your internal skills well and accumulate more.

Practical experience.”

Prince Zhu Eryang said: "Master, I understand, I will work hard!"

Zhang Xia is actually very optimistic about the prince. The prince Zhu Eryang is upright, calm in situations, decisive, and has the talent of an emperor. The emperor likes this prince very much. Zhang Xia's ambush also shows that the emperor values ​​the prince very much. He just wants to test Zhang Xia as a master.

Determine whether you made the wrong choice for the Crown Prince Shaobao. Now it seems that the Emperor has confirmed that Zhang Xia’s martial arts is indeed qualified for the position of Prince Shaobao, and Zhang Xia’s name, reputation, and status in the world are also valued by the Emperor.

Yes, from ancient times to the present, the selection of emperor's masters has always been the most stringent, and the current emperor is no exception. He constantly tests Zhang Xia, which is actually to reaffirm whether the prince Zhu Eryang can become the future emperor.
