The Holy Emperor of Ming

Chapter 19 Two Little Eunuchs

East Palace.

The battle stopped. Zhu Houzhao's face turned red and his aura was fluctuating.

On the opposite side, Yan Nantian and Zhao Zheng were even more restless, their faces were a little pale, but their backs were straight.

"This prince enjoyed the fight very much. From now on, you will be my opponents." Zhu Houzhao said happily.

These two people are much better than Wang Shouren and Li Xunhuan.

One of the two men couldn't fight, and the other could only hide. It was not fun at all.

"I dare not be your opponent." Zhao Zheng said sternly.

Yan Nantian didn't say anything, but his expression was solemn, as if he was more determined.

"If this prince says you are an opponent, then you are an opponent." Zhu Houzhao waved his hand and said domineeringly.

"I will definitely not let Your Highness down." Yan Nantian said frankly.

Zhao Zheng glanced at him out of the corner of his eye, gritted his teeth and nodded.

Zhu Houzhao was very happy, "Come on, I will take you to dinner."

From that day on, there were two young men in the East Palace.

They listened to stories with Zhu Houzhao, and when Zhu Houzhao practiced, they also practiced.

Then he would also fight with Zhu Houzhao.

Besides that, they will learn other things.

It mainly focuses on knowledge about the Jinyiwei, and there are special people to teach them.

They also received intensive training in martial arts.

Not to mention the guidance from martial arts masters, Yan Nantian has no shortage of it.

Various major medicines are the most precious.

There are also martial arts tailored for them, etc., which greatly speed up their training.

They are now in the acquired realm and have already realized their own martial arts will. They only need to accumulate internal strength and nourish their meridians to the level that can withstand the power of heaven and earth, and then they can break through to the innate realm.

As for the Ming royal family, it is not difficult to accelerate the accumulation of internal strength and strengthen the meridians in the acquired realm as long as they want to do it.

Yan Nantian and Zhao Zheng's talents and status, as well as Zhu Youtang's concern for his own sons, made Zhu Youtang almost devote all his energy to training them.

Every day, both of them are getting stronger.

One of the happiest people was Zhu Houzhao.

Because he grew stronger so quickly, Yan Nantian and the other two were able to keep up and were always able to block his attacks.

Three months passed until August.

"boom!!"

In the East Palace martial arts training ground, Zhu Houzhao threw a punch. There was no boxing technique or skill involved, only absolute strength. He rushed forward, domineering and powerful.

The true energy of the Mingshen is like the sun and the bright moon, dazzling, noble and domineering.

Yan Nantian and Zhao Zheng used all their means.

Yan Nantian's internal strength is also extremely domineering, like thunder and fire from heaven and earth.

Zhao Zheng's internal strength is as pure and sharp as a sword.

But he was still knocked away by the punch, and he felt out of breath and weak all over.

The two looked at each other, and even though Yan Nantian was very resolute, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

During these three months, with the strong support of the royal family, their strength has improved rapidly.

But I didn't expect that after only following His Highness for three months, I was no match for him.

"Your Highness is making rapid progress, and the two of us can't stop him." Yan Nantian said frankly.

Although he said these words of admitting defeat, his heroic spirit was not diminished at all, and he was upright and dignified.

Zhao Zheng nodded.

"Haha." Zhu Houzhao laughed happily and said proudly, "This prince is the best. It's already very good that you can fight with me to a draw for three months.

But you also need to continue to work hard at cultivation.

When this prince unifies the world in the future, you, as his brothers, will all be great generals.

You can’t lose face for this prince.”

After three months, Yan Nantian and the other two had become somewhat accustomed to the prince's speaking manner.

What felt uncomfortable at first now feels like familiarity.

Because they knew that their own prince really said what he thought, without any falsehood.

To say that I regard them as brothers means that I truly regard them as brothers.

In addition, the prince was several years younger than them, and his arrogance and haughtiness made them feel friendly.

“We will never let Your Highness down, but Your Highness should not be careless. Once my younger brother and I break through to the innate realm and our strength increases greatly, Your Highness may not be our opponent.” Yan Nantian was not at all restrained and laughed heartily.

"That's right, Your Highness. Once we break through to the innate realm, our strength will be greatly enhanced." Zhao Zheng was also less restrained than he was three months ago, and said with a smile.

"Breakthrough! When can you break through?" Zhu Houzhao didn't care about the way they spoke at all. Instead, his eyes lit up and he asked expectantly.

“If nothing unexpected happens, half a year will be enough.” Yan Nantian said confidently.

"I am not as good as Brother Yan. I am afraid it will take about ten months." Zhao Zheng said with a smile.

"Brother, you are not worse than me, it's just that you changed your practice and it took some time." Yan Nantian said sincerely.

“Brother Yan, you are born with a strong physique. If it weren’t for the martial arts, you would probably have been able to break through to the innate realm.” Zhao Zheng shook his head and smiled, saying with admiration.

"No need to say, you are all inferior to this prince, haha." Zhu Houzhao laughed proudly at this time. Yan Nantian and Zhao Zheng heard this and both smiled and said nothing.

Because after three months, they have already agreed not to compete with the prince anymore.

There's no comparison at all.

If the prince was not too young, had major physical defects, and had not practiced practical martial arts, with his current Mingshen Zhenqi power, a few moves would be enough to defeat them together.

The gap between the innate realm and the acquired realm is so huge.

Especially the prince's power growth was inhuman, as if there was no obstacle at all.

"When you reach the innate realm, this prince will definitely beat you into pig heads, haha." Zhu Houzhao waved his little fist and said expectantly.

“Your Highness, it certainly won’t be that easy then.” Yan Nantian said with a smile.

"Yeah." Zhao Zheng also nodded.

"His Royal Highness."

Zhu Houzhao was about to say something when an old and gentle voice came over.

"Old man, why are you here?" Zhu Houzhao smiled and ran over.

Yan Nantian and the other two followed and bowed respectfully to the old man: "Mr. Zheng."

During these three months, they had naturally guessed that the old man who appeared in the East Palace from time to time was an extremely powerful being.

The old man smiled gently at Yan Nantian and the others. Looking at the little prince who had grown taller, his kindness became even stronger. He smiled and said, "I'm sending two little eunuchs to play with you."

Zhu Houzhao and the other two looked at the two young eunuchs following behind the old man.

They were all boys of thirteen or fourteen years old. One of them was delicate and handsome, with some feminine looks.

One of them was sharp and cold.

"Your servants Yu Huatian and Cao Shaoqin pay their respects to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." The two young eunuchs immediately saluted Zhu Houzhao again.

"Stand up." Zhu Houzhao waved his hand to let them off the hook, and asked curiously, "Old man, do they know martial arts?"

“I’ve been training you for a few more months, and you can still look presentable.

But it is still only the acquired realm, Your Highness, please don't be disappointed." The old man said with a smile.

"It's okay. It's just right for me to fight with Lao Yan and the others." Zhu Houzhao said happily.

The corner of Yan Nantian's mouth twitched. He didn't like the name Lao Yan.

But the prince obviously wouldn't listen to him.

He looked at the two young eunuchs with a fierce gaze.

There was neither closeness nor disgust, only a bit of curiosity. Was she qualified enough to join forces with him and Zhengdi?

I think it was brought by Lord Zheng himself, so it should be good.

Not far away, Liu Jin and Cao Youxiang were also looking at the two young eunuchs, and they looked at them more carefully.

Although in the short term, these two little eunuchs will not be their opponents.

After all, there is a thirty-year age difference between them.

But considering the age of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, if nothing unexpected happens, these two young eunuchs will be their "successors" in the future.

What's more, since it was brought by Duke Zheng himself, they had no choice but to pay more attention to it.

"Your Highness, I am here to ask for one more person from Your Highness." The old man said again.

"Who is it? What do you want people to do?" Zhu Houzhao asked curiously.

"Him." The old man pointed at a middle-aged eunuch standing next to the martial arts training ground.

Everyone looked over, surprised and curious.

What does Lord Zheng want from a middle-aged eunuch who doesn't know martial arts?
The middle-aged eunuch also obviously heard it, and a look of helplessness appeared on his face.

Seeing Lord Zheng waving at him, he hurried forward and bowed respectfully to Zhu Houzhao and the old man.

"Old man, what do you want him to do?" Zhu Houzhao waved his hand to let him don't be polite and asked again.

“Although this person entered the palace halfway, is illiterate, and has never practiced martial arts, he is indeed a promising talent.

I'll take it and give it a try, maybe there will be a surprise." The old man smiled calmly and said.

Suddenly, except for Zhu Houzhao, everyone else was shocked and stared at the middle-aged eunuch, trying to see what he could see.

The middle-aged eunuch himself was also completely confused, with a look of shock and fear that he had never expected.

"It seems like a good thing." Zhu Houzhao scratched his head, looked at the middle-aged eunuch again, and asked, "Are you willing?"

The middle-aged eunuch was stunned. He never thought that he would hear these words seeking his wishes from the Crown Prince.

He tried hard to suppress the gratitude and excitement in his heart.

She immediately knelt down and kowtowed heavily, saying: "Your Highness saved my life, and I will obey Your Highness in everything."

"Hurry up and get up. I am the prince, the future emperor. All the eunuchs and maids in the palace are my people. If anyone dares to bully you, I will certainly stand up for you. It can't be considered saving my life." Zhu Houzhao said with a smug and proud smile.

"Your Highness still remembers me!" The middle-aged eunuch was even more grateful, and his heart was warmer than ever before.

"Wei Jinzhong, this prince is not stupid, how could I not remember you?" Zhu Houzhao said as if it was a matter of course.

He continued: "It should be a good thing to learn from the old man, so go ahead."

The middle-aged eunuch lowered his head to hide his red eyes and responded quickly.

"Old man, you can't bully my people." Zhu Houzhao looked at the old man again and said solemnly.

"Who dares to bully the Crown Prince's people?" the old man said with a smile.

"That's right." Zhu Houzhao raised his head confidently.
