Chapter 108 Jiaofang Division

Li Qingluo bowed and said, "I will ask her to come and see Your Highness now."

Zhao Ti nodded, picked up a pen and started writing the Thousand Character Classic on the rice paper.

After a while, there was a knock on the door and Zhao Ti said, "Come in."

The door opened and Wang Yuyan walked in. She bowed and said, "Your Highness is back."

Zhao Ti looked at her. She was wearing a lotus-colored gauze shirt and a snow-white skirt. Her eyes were like clear water, and she looked a little uneasy and discouraged.

He pointed to the chair next to him and said, "Miss Wang, please sit down." Then he continued writing.

Wang Yuyan glanced at him stealthily, then sat down on the chair, saying nothing, as quiet as a kitten.

Zhao Ti wrote for a long time and had only finished half of the Thousand Character Essay. Suddenly, he thought that it would take Huang Shang's son Xiao Bubai a long time to write this thing, so he threw the brush away, then stood up and walked away from the table.

He walked to the middle of the study hall with his hands behind his back, and said in deep thought, "In three days, I will return to Tokyo. Miss Wang, please prepare to go with me. Let's go to the capital to relax, see the outside world, see the prosperous and beautiful scenery, and see the world outside."

Wang Yuyan was stunned when she heard this, and murmured: "Your Highness, going to Tokyo, this..."

Zhao Ti walked towards the door, thought for a moment and said, "Don't worry about not being able to adapt to the climate there. The climate in Tokyo is pleasant, not as hot as Suzhou and Hangzhou. Ah Zhu will be traveling with you this time, so you can keep her company on the road."

Then he opened the door and walked out.

Wang Yuyan looked at his back, her expression confused and lost.

Early the next morning, Zhong Pu came to report that the Suzhou Tongpan had sent someone to deliver a variety of fruits, snacks, vegetables, geese and mutton.

Zhao Ti nodded. When he was in Suzhou, the Tongpan wanted to invite him to a banquet, but he refused. After all, he didn't want to waste any more time. He would stay in Mantuo Villa for a few days and then return to the capital.

Zhong Pu added: "The judge said that if the prince is bored on the island, he will have people from the Jiaofangsi come over tomorrow to cheer him up and relieve his boredom."

Zhao Ti thought for a moment and said, "That's a good idea. Ask him to recruit more musicians and trainers, and to have a full range of instruments."

Zhong Pu nodded and saluted: "I will pass on the message now."

At night, Zhao Ti continued to practice internal skills. At this time, he possessed the Phantom Yin Qi, Sunflower Manual, Small Wuxiang Gong, Qiankun Da Nang, Lingbo Weibu, and not sure whether it was complete or not.

Among them, the Phantom Yin Finger, the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth and the Dragon Elephant Prajna Palm are all martial arts that require a lot of internal strength. The Dragon Elephant Prajna Palm must be used with the Small Wuxiang Gong, so the Small Wuxiang Gong must continue to be practiced.

By this calculation, his current martial arts have been divided into two systems. One is the Phantom Yin Qi that controls the Sunflower Manual and the Great Shift of the Universe.

One is the Xiao Wuxiang Gong, which includes Lingbo Weibu and Longxiang Prajna Palm.

He first practiced the Phantom Yin Qi, and after more than two hours, he completed the whole Qi circulation and exhaled lightly.

Then, one hand lightly pinched out a finger gesture, which was similar to the Huanyin Finger Technique, and was left on Gao Taotao's hand when he died.

When Zhao Ti first saw it that day, he thought it was the Phantom Yin Finger, but upon closer inspection, he found that it was different, as if it was a new fingering technique evolved from the Phantom Yin Finger.

This move was not included in the Phantom Yin Finger that he learned, but Gao Taotao displayed this finger gesture before his death, which was obviously left for him.

Zhao Ti did remember the finger gesture, but he never used his internal energy to activate it.

He then gently circulated his Qi to try to stimulate it, and after a few breaths he frowned. Although it was similar to the Huanyin Finger Technique, and could also manipulate the internal force to flow to the meridians in his hands, after pinching this finger technique, the meridians and acupuncture points on his hands suddenly seemed like bottomless pits and could not be filled at all. Zhao Ti was silent for a moment and accelerated his power. His palms trembled slightly, but he still could not use it, and he fell into deep thought.

Does it mean that this finger technique can only be used after the Phantom Yin Finger is practiced to the sixth level of perfection?

If this is the case, then this grandmother of mine has already reached the state of great perfection? Moreover, she said that after reaching perfection, some illusions will occur, but we don’t need to care about them. It’s not like she’s possessed. If she is not at the state of great perfection, how could she know so much?
Zhao Ti already had a deep understanding of the Phantom Yin Finger technique and knew the power of this technique and the benefits of strengthening the meridians. If that was the case, why did Gao Taotao suddenly die after achieving perfection?
But if there is any disadvantage of this technique that can harm the body, Gao Taotao will not hide it. This grandmother is very close to him and it is impossible for her to hide these things.

Zhao Ti thought about it and felt extremely confused. He had to put the matter aside for the time being and began to practice Xiao Wuxiang Gong until dawn before he rested.

At noon, a large ship docked, carrying dozens of musicians and kabuki actors from the Jiaofang Bureau.

Zhao Ti asked these people to adjust the music in a leisure hall in Mantuo Villa, familiarize themselves with the rhythm, and perform in the evening.

In the afternoon, he sat in the study drinking tea while Wang Yuyan wrote. What he wrote was the Thousand Character Essay that he had only written half of yesterday.

After finishing, Zhao Ti said: "I already know your family affairs."

Wang Yuyan's face turned pale when she heard this, and she kept silent.

Zhao Ti shook his head, stopped talking, and said, "When the Japanese king left the villa, you said you had half a new poem. I wonder if you have finished it?"

Wang Yuyan said, "The poem was originally about things at home, but I can't write any more, so I'll just scrap it."

Zhao Ti smiled and said, "There will be a banquet tonight, and there will be lyrics and music. You can write a new one. It doesn't matter whether you chant or sing it. It will help you to relieve your emotions."

Wang Yuyan looked up at him and said, "My humble daughter... my work is clumsy. It would be better if I showed it to Your Highness. If I really sing it, I'm afraid I will be laughed at."

Zhao Ti smiled slightly: "I drink wine with my confidant, and recite poems to those who understand me. There is no one else at the banquet, only me, the king, is listening."

Wang Yuyan blushed and said, "I will go back and prepare now. Your Highness, please don't laugh at me when the time comes."

Zhao Ti nodded, and Wang Yuyan stood up, bowed and left.

Afterwards, he left the study and headed towards the flower garden. When he arrived, he saw Zhou Tong leading a group of martial artists practicing martial arts there.

There were as many as forty or fifty of them, led by Zhou Tong and Wang Chengzong, sparring with each other and using external martial arts, making the scene very lively.

He temporarily grouped these people together and named them Fengyunhui.

After returning to the court, these people will be awarded official positions based on their military merits and serve in the Infantry Commandery. As for the official positions, they must be military positions, which is extremely difficult to obtain. For normal people in the martial arts world, it would be difficult to even get the position of a rankless squad leader in a county, let alone a rank.

The generals with numerous military achievements in the Western Army were called generals, but many of them were just military positions and actually had no rank. After a big battle, they would capture bandits and take down their names, report them to the court, and rush to see the emperor. In the end, they would only be given a military rank of around eighth rank.

At this moment, these people in the martial arts world are happy. The circumstances of life are just a matter of morning and evening. The huge waves roll up thousands of piles of snow, and no one can predict the ups and downs. Everyone feels refreshed.

Especially Zhu Chuyi, since Zhao Ti took him to the Shanhaiguan ruins, he has a deeper understanding of himself. His martial arts skills are mediocre, and he was taken there because of the Xuanmen formation technique. He couldn't help but make up his mind to study it carefully in the future.

Seeing Zhao Ti coming, everyone bowed to him. Zhao Ti chatted with these people until the evening before leaving.

At this moment, the moon was above the willow branches. The musicians and dancers from the Jiaofang Bureau all went to the largest hall in the villa. Wang Yuyan also arrived and entered the hall.
