Ximen Bodong arranged for me to stay temporarily in the North Courtyard.
This is an elegant courtyard.
From the small pavilion in the courtyard, you can just see the sea in the distance.
The pavilion is four large logs with a radius of two feet standing on the ground, high above the ground.
Two feet, and then use the special herbs from the mountains to build a dome.
There is no carved paint or railings.
There are most orchids and fragrant herbs in the courtyard.
I don’t know how to use them.
Even the fragrant herbs on the top of the pavilion are as fresh as life.
There are also many yuccas hanging from it, fluttering in the wind along the edge of the pavilion.
It has a unique sense of simplicity and beauty, and a wider horizon.
It is extremely majestic.
Most of the utensils inside and outside the pavilion are made of a single piece of nanmu and are all solid.
There is a low table, four futons made of vanilla, a large wooden stake, and two large and small wooden couches placed in the pavilion.
In the left corner, there is a small clay stove, several tea sets made of pottery wood, two neat bunches of pine firewood and some charcoal.
They are all extremely clean.
The bed and utensils are particularly quaint and practical.
It seems that the owner came here to sit and lie down and look at the mountains.
Sitting in the pavilion to look at the sea, the breeze blows gently, and the sound of the waves reaches your ears, which makes people feel far away from the hustle and bustle of the world.
Su Sanniang sent Zhou Lang here, and then left Ximen Mansion to find her sisters.
She was very relieved about us, and all the property she brought from Huilong Town was temporarily stored here.
Yaoru felt a little unwell and went to bed early to rest.
Seeing that she was in a bad mood, I quietly left the room and left her alone to clean up.
Zhou Lang was stretching his muscles and bones in the courtyard, punching and kicking hard all the way.
I praised: "Master Zhou's punches and kicks are really powerful."
Since I learned swordsmanship from him, I have called him Master Zhou.
Zhou Lang stopped in a hurry and said with a smile: "King Ping is laughing."
I pointed to the long knife at his waist: "I have been practicing knife skills for a few days.
Now that Master Zhou has recovered from his injury, how about he personally teach me some moves?"
"The little boy obeys his orders" Zhou Lang took out his long knife and handed it to me respectfully.
He broke off a branch from the tree and said, "Prince Ping, don't worry, just attack me."
This was the first time I practiced with others since I learned sword skills.
I raised my long sword high and roared, then slashed it down on Zhou Lang's head.
I didn't use all my strength because I was worried about hurting Zhou Lang.
Zhou Lang looked calm and composed until the blade was more than three inches away from his head.
He waved the branch in his hand and hit the side of the blade with a sound.
A force came along the blade.
My arm went numb slightly, and the blade suddenly deviated from its original direction. , and almost flew out.
Zhou Lang's arm tilted downwards and exerted force, and the branch pressed against the blade of the knife and pulled it downward in an arc.
I couldn't hold it anymore, and the long knife fell to the ground by mistake.
Zhou Lang picked up the long knife for me and handed it into my hand again: "When facing the enemy, there is no room for any weakness or hesitation."
I was shocked.
There were similarities between fighting the enemy and political struggle.
I gripped the long knife and took two steps back.
Only by keeping a certain distance could I fully display my skills.

I rushed forward suddenly, and this time I didn't dare to show any mercy.
The long knife roared and stabbed straight towards Zhou Lang's chest.
"Okay."
Zhou Lang praised, and the branch hit the back of the knife diagonally.
His main way to deal with it was to avoid its sharp edge.
Although the blade was sharp, it could not hit the branch accurately.
The branch rotated cleverly and pressed on the back of my knife.
Above, my attack was completely resolved immediately.
I suddenly realized something.
The battle between the Queen Mother and Bai Dio was not like the competition between me and Zhou Lang.
Although the branches were weak, they could compete with the sharp sword as long as they were used skillfully.
Zhou Lang and I sparred in the courtyard for an hour, and gradually became more proficient at it.
Zhou Lang couldn't help but praise: "Prince Ping is indeed a prodigy in martial arts.
It took me a full year to learn this sword technique." time."
I smiled slightly, put away the long knife, and picked up the towel on the table to wipe the sweat from my forehead.
Martial arts and politics actually lead to the same goal.
They are based on fully observing and understanding the enemy, looking for the opponent's weaknesses, and striving to achieve the same goal.
I am naturally extremely keen in recruiting and controlling enemies.
Although I have never practiced martial arts, my ability to judge situations has long been unparalleled by others.
Perhaps this is why Zhou Lang was so impressed.
Ximen Bodong held a banquet in his house that night to welcome me.
Qian Sihai also attended the banquet with a cane.
After experiencing the life and death disaster in Huilong Town, the relationship between us became closer.
Qian Sihai whispered to me: "Now I am so poor that I have no choice but to live shamelessly in boss Ximen's house."
I snickered and said, "When will Boss Qian plan to take over the salt farm?"
Qian Sihai said: "No rush, I plan to go to Xu Dachi first."
He said thankfully: "Fortunately, I carried the pardon order and the letter with me.
Otherwise, I'm afraid I would be in big trouble this time."
Thinking of the Yizhi after losing the crystal, I couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.
Qian Sihai was indeed much more considerate than me.
Ximen Bodong is well versed in hospitality.
He did not ask us about the main purpose of our visit.
He spent the entire evening toasting enthusiastically, and other than that, he talked about the customs and customs of Zhongshan Kingdom and Daqin.
Qian Sihai and I were very grateful for the host's enthusiasm and drank until midnight.
When I returned to my residence, I found that Yaoru was not in the room.
I originally thought that she might have gone for a walk in the courtyard, but I searched the entire courtyard and found no trace of Yaoru, so I suddenly panicked.
After asking Zhou Lang, he found out that Yaoru went out for a walk in the evening and has not come back until now.
I didn't want to alarm the owner, so I quietly borrowed two horses from the manager Su Yuanlin, and I and Zhou Lang went out to find Yaoru.
Zhou Lang had been to Jeju twice before and had some understanding of the geography here.
We searched around the mansion and still didn't see Yaoru.
I worried and said, "She has been feeling restless these past two days.
I should pay more attention to her."
Zhou Lang blamed himself: "It's all a villain who neglected his duty.
I should have followed Miss Yaoru."
"This has nothing to do with you, it's because I was too negligent."

I couldn't help but feel a little guilty.
If something happened to Yaoru, it would be difficult for me to forgive myself.
Zhou Lang said: "Your Highness, I wonder if Miss Yaoru has any relatives or friends in Jeju?"
I thought, Yaoru grew up here and must be very familiar with the environment here.
Logically speaking, nothing will happen.
I whispered: "Master Zhou, do you know where the old house of the Tian family is?"
" Zhou Lang nodded and said: "Tian's old residence is on Donggui Street in the southwest.
Why did His Highness suddenly think of asking these questions?"
Of course I will not tell him about Yaoru's life experience.
I waved my whip and said, "Take me to see him."
Zhou Lang and I rode our horses and whipped our whips, and soon we arrived in front of a majestic building.
Zhou Lang pointed at the gate of Tian's Mansion and said, "The Tian family's mansion has been sealed for many years since Tian Xun's tragedy, and the inside has long been abandoned."
I took a closer look at the door in the moonlight.
The seal was still on it and no one had touched it.
I slowed down my horse and walked slowly along the outer wall of Tian Mansion.
I saw a huge stone archway on the road ahead.
A beautiful woman held a porcelain altar and looked up at the archway as if she was a god.
No.
Who else is Yaoru?
I made a gesture to Zhou Lang, turned over and dismounted, threw the reins to Zhou Lang, and quietly walked towards Yaoru.
I took off my cloak and put it on my back for Yaoru.
Only then did Yaoru wake up and turned around to look at me, with tears in her eyes showing relief.
I put my arms around her shoulders and said, "Why are you here alone?
I'm so worried about you."
Two lines of crystal tears slid down Yaoru's pretty face.
She cried: "Fifteen years ago, there was a drought in Qin.
My father bought grain from Dahan and Dakang and opened a warehouse to provide relief.
This merit arch is Back then, Emperor Xuanlong commended my father for his good deeds and gave me a gold medal for immunity from the Tian clan.
But I didn’t expect that he would betray his promise and attack my father in the end.”
I kissed her forehead with pity.
From my point of view, it was not difficult to understand what Emperor Xuanlong did.
The Tian family’s monopoly on the salt industry determined their family’s transcendent status in the Qin economy.
Emperor Xuanlong would never be willing to give up.
The country's economic lifeline lies in the hands of the Tian family.
Yaoru turned around and looked at the high wall of Tian Mansion: "I really want to see my father again."
I comforted her softly: "Don't worry, your father and daughter will meet again one day."
Yaoru sobbed and said, "I came here to put my mother's ashes back into the ancestral hall."
I nodded, determined to fulfill Yiren's wish.
Signaling Zhou Lang to come over, he helped Yao Ru climb up the high wall on horseback, and I climbed up afterwards.
Zhou Lang was a little worried and said: "Your Highness, this place is under seal by the imperial court.
You..."
I smiled and said, "You stay here and look out for me.
I'll come as soon as I go."
Zhou Lang took off the long knife from his waist and threw it to me and said, "Put it on for self-defense."
I reached out and took it and smiled at him.

He turned around and jumped in from the wall, then picked up Yao Ru.
This place had been abandoned for a long time, and the grass in the courtyard was already as tall as a person.
Yao Ru had been away from her former residence for many years, and her eyes filled with tears when she saw things and missed people
