Chapter 208 Give me your hidden martial arts secrets
"Master, I have learned all the martial arts you taught me. Please teach me new ones!"
"What? You learned it again? It's all gone. The master has taught you everything he knows. There is nothing left to teach you.
With what you have learned now, you will be among the best martial artists in South and Yue. Learning martial arts is good for your health and to avoid being bullied. You don't need to practice to perfection. Do you still want to be the leader of the martial arts world?"
"Well, I know all of them and have practiced them well. It would be too boring without new things, so I came to the top of the mountain to enjoy the scenery."
"In the past three years, other brothers have only learned the basics, but you have drained all of the master's knowledge. Now you are not only an excellent doctor, but also a martial arts master.
I didn't expect your memory and reaction to be so strong. You can remember everything you see. Xiaojiu, you are now ready to become a disciple. I really have nothing to teach you."
"No, Master, I have seen many masters. I know my abilities, but they are still not enough. Master, can you give me the martial arts secrets you have collected for me to study?"
"Xiaojiu, you are being modest again. Your master does not have any martial arts secrets. They are just some ordinary medical books."
"Master, I have read many books, at least thousands of them. When I was a kid, I was fat, and people said that I was not suitable to learn martial arts, so they just told me to read books.
In the academy, others disliked me because I was too fat and refused to play with me. They often played tricks on me, so I often skipped classes and preferred to read at home.
When I was disobedient, my father and mother’s favorite thing to do was to punish me by making me read in the study. They had no idea what books were in the study.
If I can't answer a randomly selected question, I can't go out to play or attend the party.
So I read very hard, and I tried every possible way to memorize the contents of each book so that as long as I could answer the questions correctly in a random check, I could go out and play.
So I read all the books in my father's study and all the books in other libraries, because I was afraid that if my father picked out a book I didn't know and made him angry, I would not even have the chance to go out. "
"You mean to say that you have read all the books in your father's study, including the books in your father's library?"
"Ah."
"Does your father know?"
"He... probably doesn't know. There are many travel notes and medical books in the library."
"Oh, what! Travel notes? Medical encyclopedia? Do you remember all of that?"
Cong Sheng's hand, which was stroking his beard, trembled with excitement and he accidentally pulled out a few hairs, grimacing in pain.
“I remember every word.”
"That's great! Why didn't you say so earlier? You've wasted three years. You've read so many books three years ago. When I found you, you were only ten years old, but you've already read a lot of books. You're really a genius!"
"Show me the secret book, and I'll write down the pharmacopoeia in my mind for you."
"You little bastard, how do you know that your master has martial arts secrets?"
"Master, my fellow apprentices don't know what you have hidden, but I know it all. When you can't sleep at night, take out the package and look at it. You have polished the outer skin of the package until it is covered with patina."
"Hey! You're not sleeping at night and you're peeking."
"I couldn't sleep at all at that time, so I saw everything."
"Alas! That was something from an old friend. She asked me to keep it for her before she got married. I don't know what's inside. She said she would come and get it if she had the chance. Unfortunately... she can never come back."
Cong Sheng murmured softly, with moisture in her eyes.
"Her? Who is she?"
"It's been more than 20 years, and she's been gone for eight years. What else can I not let go of? She is the legitimate daughter of General Chu's mansion, and I am her guard, ten years older than her.
Among the guards, she liked to stick to me the most, saying that I was the one who indulged her the most. When she was young, she accidentally fell into a lake, so she was very afraid of water and never dared to stay near the water.
When she grew up, she was still afraid of water. Her parents and brothers were all at the border, and there were only her grandmother and her unmarried elder sister at home. She was used to telling me anything that made her unhappy.
The Chu family is a loyal and brave family, and they are highly valued by the late emperor. There are many people who want to marry into the general's family.
She said at that time that she also wanted to marry the man she loved like her elder sister, but she might never get her wish in this life.
Unexpectedly, during a palace banquet, she, who had not yet reached the age of marriage, was tricked into falling into the lake. She was rescued by a prince, and then she was granted marriage as a matter of course.
This is a conspiracy, they are here for the Chu family's military power. If it weren't for the fact that guards cannot be accompanied at palace banquets, they would never succeed if I were with them.
She just came of age, but he couldn't wait to marry me. In my heart, she is still a child! I couldn't bear to let her go.
She was so beautiful in her wedding dress. It turned out that the little girl had grown up and was going to get married.
I will take good care of the things she entrusts me to keep, and when she comes to get them, I promise to return them to her intact.
Watching her getting into the bridal sedan, my heart ached so much, as if it was being cut out. It turned out that she had already taken root in my heart, but... I was not worthy of her, and I had no ability or right to take her back.
I can't harm her, as long as she lives a good life, that's enough. After marrying into the royal family, she initially wrote letters back to the general's mansion, but gradually the number became less and less.
Later, Chu's father and her brother died in battle, and her elder sister and brother-in-law rushed to the border to find out the truth, but they both died in the end.
The General's Mansion was defeated from then on, the Chu family army suffered a defeat and sacrificed many soldiers. The emperor wanted to disband the Chu family army and incorporate it into other armies.
It was the old prime minister at that time who said that if the Chu family army was disbanded, it would shake the morale of the army, and then he handed over the Chu family army, which consisted of only more than 10,000 people at the time, to Chu Fan, a young general from a branch of the Chu family.
The emperor wanted to make fun of Chu Fan, the playboy. If anything went wrong, he could legitimately take back the Chu Army, and no one else would be able to find a reason.
Unexpectedly, Chu Fan changed his previous dandy image and slowly expanded the Chu family army, which was even a little out of his control. Just like General Shangguan's army, it made him unable to sleep or eat.
As the only remaining bloodline of the Chu family, Fu'er admires Chu Fan, her brother from a side branch, very much. Being able to keep her father and brother's army is also a kind of inheritance and hope.
At that time, there were not only the Chu family army, Shangguan Yan's army, but also the army of Zhen'an Hou. The three of them were in a three-way balance of power, which was the reason why other countries did not dare to invade.
However, the army of Marquis Zhen'an was the weakest among the three powers, so the emperor attacked the weaker one first and confiscated the property of Marquis Zhen'an and his family and killed them on the grounds of treason.
Fu'er was fooled by the emperor! The emperor sent someone to deliberately reveal to her that the Marquis of Zhen'an was colluding with the enemy to exterminate the family, and one of Fu'er's best friends was the wife of the Marquis of Zhen'an..."
Cong Sheng choked up as she spoke of those long-forgotten past events.
I just didn't expect her
