Chapter 4 Apprenticeship Yishan was bored alone in the carriage.
She opened the curtains, glanced around, and called to Cheng Zheng, "Hey, come here."
Cheng Zheng approached on horseback, "What do you want me to do, miss?"
Before returning to the palace, it was better to keep a low profile, so Cheng Zheng ordered everyone to address themselves as miss.
Yishan said cheerfully, "Come in and talk to me."
Cheng Zheng hesitated for a moment and then answered.
The road was flat and open.
If there were any abnormalities, they could be seen from a distance.
Cheng Zheng got into the carriage with confidence.
Yishan asked, "Is your name Cheng Zheng?"
"yes."
Yishan asked, "How should I call you?
Master Cheng, General Cheng or" Cheng Zheng said directly, "Just call me by your first name.
There are many people on the street and you don't need many etiquettes."
"Then I'll call you Cheng Zheng."
Cheng Zheng nodded and said, "Okay."
Yishan asked again, "Are you so sure that I am a princess?"
Cheng Zheng answered affirmatively, "The cinnabar mole behind your left ear is the princess's birthmark, and the age of adoption is also consistent.
The emperor has ordered people to investigate secretly for a long time, so there should be no mistake."
Yishan analyzed curiously, "The emperor asked you to pick me up.
He must trust you.
How big an official are you?
It seems that you are in an important position.
The majestic princess will be handed over to someone who is not trustworthy to take her back to the palace."
Cheng Zheng said modestly, "We from the Yun clan have always been trusted by the emperor.
Regardless of official position, as long as the emperor needs it, we should be loyal to the emperor."
Yishan became interested and said, "People from the Yun tribe, I heard from people from the capital, that all the Yun tribe people are brave and good at fighting.
They have made great contributions to the country and won the emperor's trust.
How old are you?
You look very young." " "Just past the weak crown."
Yishan was surprised, "I became a high official at the age of twenty-two."
"I have fought with my grandfather and father since I was a child.
I captured the deputy general of Xichi alive when I was a minor.
Now I have some achievements while guarding the border.
Is there anything strange about it?"
Cheng Zhengyun replied calmly.
"Wow, so powerful.
Then your grandfather and father should be famous generals.
Maybe I have heard their stories."
Yishan's face was full of longing.
Cheng Zheng answered one by one, "My grandfather was the King of Zhenxi.
Now he has retired and returned to his hometown.
He was raised in Pingzhou.
Unfortunately, my father died in the battle."
Yishan realized that she had made a mistake and grinned, "Ah, I'm so sorry.

You must be in danger when fighting."
Cheng Zheng said solemnly, "Personal safety is of no concern.
If we can ensure peace at the border and peace for the people, it will be worth it."
"Here," Yishan took out a pack of snacks from the package, "this is my favorite almond cake.
I thank you, the princess, for your life and death for the country.
Come, have a taste."
"Thank you, princess."
Cheng Zheng was a little reserved.
The first time she called herself a princess, it was actually to give herself something to eat.
He couldn't refuse, so he took a small piece and put it in his mouth.
"How is it delicious?"
Yishan was looking forward to it.
Cheng Zheng smiled and nodded, "It's delicious."
Yishan praised casually, without any shyness of a girl, "You look better when you smile, but I saw you with a cold face along the way.
Are you unhappy?"
"That's not true."
"Oh, I know, you must be missing your beloved wife at home.
You stayed at the border and finally came back, but you came to Jiangnan to take me back to the palace.
You must be very reluctant, right?"
Yishan guessed randomly.
"Miss Yanxiao, I don't have a wife."
"Well, you are over the age of majority.
Why don't you marry a wife?
Is it because no one in the family can arrange it for you?
I know many girls in Jiangnan, some are beautiful, some are gentle, some are virtuous, and some are fierce.
Which one do you like?
If you have a chance to come to Jiangnan, how about I introduce it to you?"
Yishan said with great interest.
"Miss, please don't make fun of me."
If you come to Jiangnan again, I'm afraid you won't be able to see the scenery in front of you anymore.
I hope you will never come to Jiangnan again.
Yishan suddenly changed the topic, "Hey, tell me, what are the women in the capital like?
How are they different from those in Jiangnan?
Which one is more beautiful?"
"I can't say that."
Faced with this kind of problem, it's better to avoid it.
Yishan said reluctantly, "Tell me, tell me, what are the women in the capital like?"
Looking at Yishan's expectant face, Cheng Zheng hesitated and then spoke, "A woman in the capital must be cautious in words and deeds, respectful and gentle under the emperor's feet.
It is indeed rare to see someone kick someone out of the house like this young lady."
Yishan curled her lips and cursed, "You said I drove Mr.
Liu away, he deserves it.
Hmph, that scum.
He is lawless just because he has some power in the family.
I will catch such people and teach them a lesson.
Forget it, let's not mention him anymore.

I get angry when I think about it.
Tell me about your military affairs, I rarely hear about them."
"good."
At noon, they continued on their way after eating and resting at an inn.
Not long after getting on the carriage and setting off, Yishan felt tired and fell asleep on the carriage.
Maybe she didn't sleep well at night and she kept talking to Cheng Zheng all morning.
Cheng Zheng took out the clothes from the package and put them on Yishan, then got out of the carriage, mounted the horse and looked around.
At this time, Cheng Zheng's younger brother Yuan Xin, this idle boy who had been traveling freely under the banner of joining the army, led the horse and strolled leisurely on the quiet mountain while whistling.
He didn't like the life of infighting within the clan.
Although the old prince wanted him to make meritorious deeds like Cheng Zheng, he still insisted on leaving.
Yuan Xin was extremely bored and started chatting with Ma, "There are not even ghosts in this deep mountain.
Ma, are you feeling bored?
I want to find a mare to talk to you.
No mare, handsome and unrestrained."
There is a handsome old man, Just chat with me for a while.
Don't worry, I'll let you rest for a few days after we get out of the mountain.
Do you think the music I play is good compared to what the girl from Pingle Tower sings?
Which one is better?
There is a cave in front, let’s go in and take a rest.”
Yuanxin took the dry food and water bag from the horse at the entrance of the cave, threw away the horse's reins, and let it eat grass outside.
He sat down on the stone, drank some water, and shouted to the horse, "horse, I Go and have a look inside the cave.
Eat first and don't run around."
Yuan Xin carried the water bag and just walked a few dozen steps inside when the light suddenly dimmed.
Yuan Xin couldn't see the road clearly, so he stepped on the ground and fell into a cave, and the entrance of the cave was immediately closed.
"Ah, God, what are you doing?
You're going to kill me."
He struggled to get up and moved around a bit, but nothing serious happened.
When he was up there just now, he felt that the light was insufficient, but he didn't expect that the cave was quite bright.
Yuan Xin used Qing Kung Fu to fly up, only to find that the stone slab at the entrance of the cave was very solid.
There was no place to focus and there was no way to stay, so I had to come down again, stumbling and patting the dirt on my body, looking for any other way out.
"Boy, stop looking.
You can't go out.
Cough, cough, cough."
An old voice came from the corner.
"Oh ghost, didn't I fall into hell?"
The sudden voice startled Yuan Xin.
"Perhaps, this is your hell.
The heavens have opened their eyes.
Ahem, cough, cough, cough.
Finally, after all these years, someone who knows martial arts has come."
The old man's voice echoed throughout the cave like a ghost.
Yuan Xin stepped back in fear, "What do you want?"
"You'll know just by looking around."
"Ah" Yuan Xin saw a bunch of skeletons in the corner and shouted, then changed direction and retreated continuously, "You are not looking for someone to compete with others, and the loser will be eaten by you.
I won't compete with you.

Yes, I don’t eat human flesh.
The point is that I don’t know martial arts.”
The old man didn't believe it, "Boy, I can see that if your Qinggong just now wasn't top-notch, ahem, you wouldn't have been able to stay in the air for so long."
Yuanxin frowned and explained seriously, "I really didn't lie to you.
I know a little Qinggong, and the rest are all three-legged cat skills, which are shameful."
The old man didn't take it seriously, "It doesn't matter, just play a game of chess with me.
Cough cough cough."
"If you don't compete in martial arts, then you won't be the one who loses in chess, right?"
Yuan Xin was still worried.
"I'll tell you after you win first."
Yuan Xin got closer and saw clearly the person speaking in the corner.
His white hair was frizzy, almost covering his face.
It was obvious that he had not combed it for a long time.
The white clothes were already gray and tattered, but the cyan flying eagle pattern embroidered on the chest could still be distinguished.
If you look carefully at the chessboard on the ground, it is drawn with wooden sticks.
The black stones are made of broken stones, which is very rough.
And Bai Zi turned out to be small pieces of white bones.
"You come first.
Cough cough cough, cough cough cough."
The old man coughed violently again.
Yuan Xin didn't resist.
It was better to be submissive and think of a plan for now.
He walked towards the place where he fell, picked up the water bag on the ground and came back, "Senior, please drink some water.
Your throat is hoarse from your coughing."
"Thank you."
The old man did not refuse.
This chess game was really played with great confidence.
I was really afraid that if I made a wrong move, I would turn into bones, and then become the white piece in the hands of this old man.
Every time I made a move, I peeked at the old man's expression, but in the end I was defeated miserably in the hands of the old man.
Yuan Xin said dejectedly, "I lost, you won't really eat me, right?"
The old man said, "I am already in my dying years, and I have taken more boats than you have traveled.
Ahem, it's not surprising that you lost to me at such a young age."
"You know that I will lose, why are you still looking for a sense of accomplishment in me?"
Yuan Xin couldn't help complaining, are you interesting?
You are a lot older.
"Life is like chess.
If you make one careless move, you will lose everything."
The old man sighed.
"By observing your tactics on the chessboard, you can see who you are as a person."
Yuan Xin seemed to see some hope, "Then did you find out that I am a rare good person, handsome and upright, and then decided to let me go?"
The old man objected and said, "I found that you are scheming and not very scheming.
Ahem, you are definitely not an honest and honest person."
Yuan Xin scratched his head, "No, right?"
The old man smiled and said nothing, then coughed again.
Yuan Xin saw him smiling and felt that the old man was not that scary, so he started chatting, "How can senior survive alone in this cave?"

"Didn't you see it?"
"Ah, it's really cannibalistic.
What if there is no one?"
"Aren't you here?"
Yuan Xin shivered all over, "Senior, don't be ridiculous, I'm a coward."
The old man stood up and walked tremblingly towards Yuan Xin.
Yuan Xin was a little surprised to see him stand up, "Senior, you can walk.
Seeing you leaning on the stone all the time, I thought your legs were useless."
The old man didn't answer, but quickly punched Yuan Xin.
Yuan Xin quickly dodged, put a little more force on his feet, and quickly retreated.
"Boy, watch your move."
"Why did you start moving your hands without even saying a word?
It scared me to death.
My martial arts is really bad."
Before Yuan Xin could finish speaking, the old man made another move.
Yuan Xin shouted as he backed away, "Hey, hey, hey, stop, don't come over."
After a few moves, Yuanxin just used Qinggong to retreat.
The old man had obviously spent a lot of energy and coughed loudly, "Boy, why don't you fight back?"
Yuan Xin said to him earnestly, "I already told you that I don't know how to fight back."
The old man was not going to give up, "Stop talking nonsense and come here."
Yuan Xin took a few steps back instead, "I was beaten by you in the past.
I'm not that stupid."
"Forget it," the old man was exhausted and sat down panting, "You are so good at it, why don't you learn more martial arts?"
"You are right.
My family has been practicing martial arts for generations, so I have a bad foundation.
It's just that I'm not interested in this.
I just want to travel around the world happily."
Yuan Xin excitedly described the life he longed for. .
The old man asked, "Then if I ask you to learn, will you learn?"
"Don't learn" Yuan Xin's tone was decisive.
"Really don't learn" Yuan Xin curled his lips helplessly and said, "Senior, if you really have a unique skill and open a school to recruit disciples, you can carry forward your skills and be respected by others.
It's not better than hiding in this cave.
Why force me to do this?"
People who don’t like martial arts should learn it.”
The old man said nothing.
Yuan Xin's self-centered analyst said, "Senior, are you being chased by your enemies and hiding here?
Then you set up a trap, waiting for someone who doesn't have the foresight to fall.
Then you teach him martial arts and he helps you."
Revenge.
Or maybe it is."
Yuan Xin was talking enthusiastically, and the old man instantly moved to Xin's side as if there were light clouds under his body, and grabbed Yuan Xin's neck before he could react.
"Senior, I was wrong.
I said something wrong.
Please bear with me.
I don't dare to say nonsense anymore."

The more Yuanxin spoke, the more his throat became tighter and it became difficult to breathe.
The old man said sternly, "Then I won't force you anymore.
Since martial arts can't be taught to others, just keep me alive."
Yuanxin's face was red from suppressing it at this time, and he tried his best to utter only two words, "I will learn."
Yuanxin was walking outside, and he was very good at adapting to changes.
He could still distinguish what was important and what was important, and he could risk his life.
It’s really not worth it.
The old man let go of his hand, Yuan Xin fell to the ground and gasped, "When I was a child, my father would whip me and I wouldn't compromise.
If my father had pushed me to death, I probably wouldn't fall into your hands today. ” The old man dug out a cloth bag from under the bones in the corner, brushed off the dust and revealed it, "This is the phantom formation."
"Phantom Array" Yuan Xin thought thoughtfully, "Isn't the Phantom Array a legendary evil magic?"
"Evil magic, haha, cough, cough, cough, it depends on who uses it.
You know the phantom array," the old man asked.
"I heard something about it when I was walking outside.
It is said that it has been lost a long time ago.
I didn't expect that my senior actually wanted me to learn the phantom formation.
If I had told you earlier, I would have definitely agreed.
But it made such a big fuss that it almost killed me.
Yuan Xin muttered dissatisfiedly.
The old man said earnestly, "You can't learn this phantom formation if you want to.
You can't control it without some internal strength."
"That's why senior has been looking for someone who knows martial arts."
Yuanxin recalled that when he first fell, the old man said, "It's an eye-opener.
After all these years, someone who knows martial arts has finally arrived."
"Come here, I'll teach you the inner secret first." sjgsf0916:
