Chapter 48: The game in the middle, the change from the outside (in)
"Yan Li has been learning martial arts for less than ten days. If you can walk three moves in front of me, you are qualified to enter the game."
What he challenged was the brothers Shang Shaoqing and Shang Shaohong.
It is true that the brothers are not qualified, otherwise they would not be on stage to perform. If they have spiritual roots or are carrying superior martial arts bones, even if they are the direct descendants of King Shangwu, even if the Jade Emperor Temple is strictly guarded, someone will find a way to replace them, practice martial arts in another place and improve their cultivation.
However, as a direct descendant, his qualifications will not be too bad, at least he must be higher than those of middle-aged people, but he is inferior to the so-called "genius".
The royal family of Yan Kingdom has been guarding Yanguan for hundreds of years, and every disciple will not be too bad. Although the lineage of King Shangwu has been suppressed for a hundred years, his bloodline has never been relaxed.
The Shang brothers practiced martial arts since childhood and never stopped for a day. With Yu Qingyue, the alchemy master, their resources will not be much worse.
Shang Shaohong had already made breakthrough skin-quenching last year. At the age of sixteen or seventeen, it was quite good results, not inferior to Han Lin. It was just a secret and did not want to attract attention. Shang Shaoqing's cultivation level was higher. At the age of twenty-two, he was already firmly at the peak of skin-quenching, which was comparable to Du Honghe Bu Chen before the breakthrough.
Now, a person who has been learning martial arts for ten days said that they can’t pass three moves!
Shang Shaohong was full of energy, jumped up on the spot and shouted loudly: "If you hit it, hit it-"
Before he finished speaking, the person rushed over.
His arms spread like crane wings, and it was a move of a white crane that spread its wings. With the cultivation level of the skin tempering realm, he flew lightly into the air and hovered down with the wind.
During the dive, Shang Shaohong gathered his body to reduce air resistance and speed up the dive speed. At the same time, his right hand was in the shape of a crane's mouth, vibrated the dragon's spine in the air and exerted force, and a clear crane cries sounded from his mouth.
It is the sun of the red crane in "Cloud Crane Palm".
King Shangwu's lineage is backed by Yun Sect, and this set of Yun Sect's introductory palm techniques has been promoted.
As the crane cries came out, Shang Shaohong's true energy gathered to the limit. The fire true energy at the tip of the crane's mouth came out transdermal, emitting a dazzling red light.
Yan Li took a step forward calmly, took advantage of his quick and incompetent step to take a shorter body, and rushed forward for half a step, cleverly allowing Shang Shaohong's move to shine. Then he exploded, exerting ten percent of his penetrating force, and also used the right hand to make the crane's mouth, using the sun of the red crane.
The same move, one pounced in the air and the other rose from the ground. However, the latter not only allowed Shang Shaohong's killer move, but also hit the opponent's throat with the difference of half a step.
Shang Shaohong was shocked and could not dodge in the air. He quickly changed his tricks and raised his left hand in his chest to protect his throat.
But he knew that Yan Li's arm was as flexible as the crane's neck, and he could still change his direction at the last moment, and he could bypass his throat and quickly hit Shang Shaohong's chest.
Fortunately, at the last moment, Yan Li dispersed the crane's mouth, put away his true energy, and pushed it with his palm.
"Plop—"
Shang Shaohong was numb when he was hit by a palm, and he couldn't maintain his balance. He fell to the ground in a mess.
"One move." Yan Li sighed, "It's worse than I expected. At least we should learn more with people and have more practical experience..."
Shang Shaohong quickly got up and said angrily: "It seems like you have fought with many people!"
Yes, even if a person who has been learning martial arts for ten days has fought every day, how many people can he fight with?
But Yan Li's answer was very simple: "I just killed an assassin in the blood exchange stage the day before yesterday."
Shang Shaohong suddenly stopped.
Yan Li turned to Shang Shaoqing, "Do you want to try it too?"
"No need." Shang Shaoqing shook his head and sighed.
He didn't think he could not pass three moves, but...even if he succeeded, what could he do? Yan Li waved his hand openly and said, "Brother is mighty, you go, I'll cheer you up..."
When he arrived at the trial, he still couldn't pass the level of Yu Qingyue!
In Shang Shaoqing's opinion, Yan Li's response in this way clearly didn't want to care about this matter.
Yan Li had other plans.
In Yan Li's opinion, among the Shang brothers, Shang Shaoqing was calm and reasonable; but Shang Shaohong was a reckless and stubborn person, and it was better to raise his hand and slap him. At least this short competition could make Xiaohua's face completely honest and not disrupt the situation.
As for Shang Shaoqing, it may be a difficult problem for Yu Qingyue, but in front of Yan Li, there are naturally other means.
"I know that both brothers can't get over it." Yan Li persuaded, "But that's the prince's situation, not ours. If you don't even have this little judgment, it's better to sing your own martial arts and sing the opera with peace of mind."
"Oh..." Shang Shaoqing sighed again. Shang Shaohong also remained silent.
"With my brother's wiseness, it is impossible not to understand the principles. It's just that I care and be confused." Yan Li added, "Calm down, endurance, choice and decision are what the king should learn most after suffering for a long time. Otherwise, even if the prince returns, we will repeat the mistakes we used to do."
Shang Shaoqing was silent for a while, then took a deep breath and said sadly: "My brother is right! We are still in danger and have no willful chips!"
"So, let's talk about some happy things. Are the two brothers' Qi-raising pills enough? I opened the furnace yesterday and the harvest is still good..."
"Oh?" Shang Shaoqing's eyes lit up, "This is a great joy! I will let Brother Yu be my partner tonight and congratulate you!"
He was happy, of course, not because of the extra elixir, but because of an alchemist.
——…—
That night, a banquet was set up at Shang Shaoqing's residence, and the six people were still present.
Shang Shaoqing's residence is much spacious than Yanli's courtyard. After all, when it comes to business, the business class is much more popular than the Fenghuobao at the time. Shang Shaoqing is the mainstay, and the treatment in all aspects is certainly not bad.
The banquet was specially bought by a chef, and the dishes were quite rich.
Among the six people here, Duan Yan was inexplicably surprised. He was preparing to move, but after a long time of busyness, he roughly stopped cleaning up. The so-called destruction of the family is worth a lot of money, so it was just simply moving to the original site of the Tieyifang across the street. If he really wanted to move his family to Lingjian Pavilion, it would take only seven or eight days to finish it.
When he returned to Yan Li's courtyard at dusk, he received the news that Boss Cheng was treating him. Of course, he followed him happily.
Everyone got into the table and drank a bowl of aperitif. Duan Yan asked with a silly smile: "Everyone, I wonder what a good day it is, but Boss Cheng actually works as a boss?"
"Of course I'm congratulating Master Yan!" Shang Shaoqing smiled. He understood that Duan Yan could trust, but some things were protected if he didn't know. Therefore, Duan Yan didn't know anything about King Shangwu, the king's vein, and the cultivation of the truth.
"Master Yan has reappeared his magical skills today, and is famous in Jianchuan. I deserve congratulations!"
"Of course!" Duan Yan said affirmatively, "But... why is Boss Cheng the boss? Logically speaking, I should be the boss of this young master!"
"Everyone is friends, why should we be so dissatisfied?" Shang Shaoqing laughed and said, "Young leader must also prepare for the move tomorrow morning, so he must not be troubled. Shaoqing should take the lead. What's more, the joy of moving house is forging. Brother Yan doesn't plan to show off. The three-day drama that he promised would not be able to sing, and Shaoqing must make some more expression!"
"Boss Cheng is generous! Come and drink this bowl!" Duan Yan happily raised the wine bowl and bowed over heroically.
Shang Shaoqing did not give in and fucked him up, put down the wine bowl and said, "Today's double happiness is coming, Shaoqing is the first to be the owner. I think tomorrow, the Fenghuo Fu has moved to a new home. I have to hold a banquet, so it's the turn of Shaozhu to spend money."
"That's natural!" Duan Yan also drank a bowl of wine, and his cheeks suddenly turned bloody and he said excitedly, "Although you won't be performing tomorrow, everyone must come and support you!"
"Haha! I'm afraid that you'll drink too much today and become a soft-legged shrimp tomorrow, and there's no more measurements!" Shang Shaohong said with a smile.
"How is that possible?" Duan Yan rolled his eyes with a red face, "How can you know the huge amount of this young man? You can't bear to give up your brother's money for wine?"
"Just!" Shang Shaohong smashed the wine bowl on the table, and compared to the travel wine order's gesture, "Come on, don't be afraid of being drunk, just fight Sanjuhe!"
"Who is afraid of who!" Duan Yanhu's eyes widened and he also made a gesture, "According to the rules of the world, no one is allowed to use his skills to force him to drink, just look at who will lie down first! Come on, you have a happy life--"
There were two people who loved to make fun of each other and fanned the flames. The atmosphere of the banquet was extremely lively.
Duan Yan's massive amount is boastful, but Shang Shaohong's massive amount is real. The former is at the bottom of the table, while the latter is still energetic.
The little flower face, who was still not happy, turned around and picked Han Xi again. The two fought for dozens of rounds. Shang Shaohong slowly fell down and murmured: "Bastard... you... must have used your skills..."
After the banquet, everyone drank a lot. But the only ones who really couldn't use their skills to make the alcohol smell were probably Duan Yan and Shang Shaohong.
When Yan Li walked out of the room, she saw Shang Shaoqing standing alone in the middle of the courtyard, looking up at the crescent moon in the sky, silently speaking.
A night wind blew, and the yard was filled with the coldness of early autumn.
Such wind can be the best to sober up.
Yan Li stepped forward a few steps and said calmly: "Have you been drinking a lot of wine, have you let go?"
"Haha..." Shang Shaoqing laughed in a deep voice, "I can't hide it from my brother. Although I am still unwilling to accept it, I still don't want to see the prince's inheritance fall into the hands of others, but Shaoqing is still self-aware. It's just that I'll just be drunk once and will not do stupid things."
"It's good if my brother knows that it's a fool." Yan Li's eyes swept over Shang Shaoqing's tired and worried expression, and said with a smile, "Since you understand what a fool is, have you never thought about doing something smart?"
Shang Shaoqing's eyes flashed, and the melancholy on his face disappeared in an instant. He turned to a look of surprise and asked, "Follow brother Lu Dun, please give me some advice."
"Actually, my brother was wrong from the beginning. What does it mean to 'the prince's inheritance fall into the hands of outsiders'? The prince's inheritance, he will give him whoever he wants and use him as much as he wants. If you want, why should you fight with 'outsiders'? You can just ask the prince for his own words."
"Uh..." Shang Shaoqing was stunned. In his heart, King Shangwu was always high and like a god. He never thought that he could solve it in this way.
"Hahaha, this is called "A Ye is blinding the mountain". If my brother hadn't drunk this wine and was cheerful, even if I mentioned it in advance, you wouldn't have done this."
"This..." Shang Shaoqiu laughed silently, "Even now, I don't dare to think so."
"The relationship between people is all about distance. The brother grew up listening to the prince's story, suffered for the prince's dormancy and took responsibility for the prince's bloodline, and naturally regarded the prince as a god." Yan Li said, "But don't forget that you are the prince's great-grandson, and the prince is your biological grandfather. If you want anything from your own grandfather, it's not the turn of the 'outsiders' to interrupt."
"Haha... that's not the reason." Shang Shaoqing smiled bitterly and scratched his head, "I was confused and got stubborn..."
"However, now the prince uses this inheritance as a bargaining chip to start the Mid-Autumn Festival situation, so we must not cause trouble at this time. When the Mid-Autumn Festival is over on August 15th, the brother will just act coquettishly and fool you!"
