The Song Dynasty was the king for thirteen years before he knew that he was Tianlong.

Chapter 86 Visitors at Sunset

Tong Guan went to open the door and saw a stunning young girl in a light pink gauze shirt standing in front of the door with two maids. He couldn't help but wonder.

The girl's eyebrows were as dark as distant mountains, her eyes were as clear as autumn water, she lowered her head slightly and whispered, "My mother asked me to come and see His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan."

Tong Guan turned around and looked at Zhao Ti. Zhao Ti took a look and saw that it was Wang Yuyan. He said, "Come in."

The three of them entered and bowed. Wang Yuyan said, "Your Highness, please tell me if there is anything you need. Mother has already told me to call me, call me..."

Zhao Ti pointed to the side and after a long while he said, "Miss Wang also likes reading?"

Wang Yuyan stood there uncomfortably, but she relaxed a little after hearing this: "I have been studying since I was young, and I have read most of the classics and poems, but also martial arts..."

"Oh?" Zhao Ti put down the book in his hand and looked over. Wang Yuyan also looked up at this moment. Zhao Ti saw that she was nervous and couldn't help but smile: "Let's not talk about martial arts or anything like that. Miss Wang, after reading these books, I think you can also write poems and lyrics?"

Wang Yuyan nodded: "I know a little bit, but I'm not very good at it."

Zhao Ti thought for a moment and said, "You don't like martial arts, but I'm afraid few people in the village understand poetry and prose. Even if you write them down to pass your free time, I'm afraid you're just enjoying yourself."

Wang Yuyan was slightly surprised, and looked up at Zhao Ti. She felt that his eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts. She couldn't help but feel a little timid, and quickly turned her head and said, "Everyone in the village practices martial arts, and there is really no one I can discuss these things with."

Zhao Ti smiled and said, "Why don't you bring it to me to see how talented you are. There are many talented women in Tokyo. I know a little girl named Li Qingzhao. Her father is a member of the Ministry of Rites. She is only eleven years old this year, but she can write good poems."

Wang Yuyan's cheeks turned red when she heard this, and she felt even more embarrassed: "How can a commoner like me compare with the daughters of officials? I am just self-taught, and my writing is not worthy of the eyes..."

Zhao Ti smiled and waved his hand, looking at a maid in green, who was the little maid he met when he first came ashore that day, named Youcao.

He said, "Youcao, go make some tea."

Youcao said, "I will go right away, Your Highness, please wait a moment."

Wang Yuyan saw this and said, "I will also go and help."

Zhao Ti picked up the scroll and said, "You can do whatever you want. Once it's cooked, it'll be done."

Wang Yuyan walked out of the door, patted her chest, let out a sigh of relief, and her tense expression relaxed a little.

Youcao asked, "What's wrong with the girl?"

Wang Yuyan shook her head: "The other party's identity is different, and I feel anxious and uneasy. It's better for him to come out."

Youcao said: "Your Highness is quite kind, but his subordinates are all vicious and ferocious, shouting and yelling, which is scary."

Wang Yuyan asked, "Are they those Jianghu people?"

Youcao nodded: "That's right, he acted like he wanted to eat me after just a few words, very bad."

Wang Yuyan seemed to be thinking about something, and after a moment she said, "Let's go make some tea."

The grass responded, and the two walked away.

Nearing evening, the setting sun was red and yellow, like a huge rouge fireball, hanging in the sky west of Taihu Lake, illuminating the lake water, making half of it rustle and the other half of it bright red.

Zhao Ti stood on the shore and watched the scenery. He saw fishermen collecting their nets and singing in the distance. The boat was sailing to another part of the lake. The sound of the fishermen's songs gradually faded away. Under the setting sun, water birds flew back to their nests. The water and the sky merged into one, creating a peaceful and beautiful scene.

Tong Guan behind him opened his mouth. He had always wanted to ask about the Sunflower Manual, but every time he wanted to talk about it, he didn't dare to open his mouth.

Zhao Ti did not bring up the matter on his own initiative. He thought it would be a bit disobedient for him to ask first. After all, such things could not be told casually. He had to keep it secret for His Highness and not leak even a single word.

But he had committed a serious crime, and even if His Highness did not speak, he had to take the initiative to confess. Just last night, he dreamed of his godfather Li Xian, who was furious and scolded him for being treacherous. He almost strangled him to death in his dream. Now he still trembles with fear when he thinks about it. Zhao Ti turned around and said, "Go back and ask Zhou Tong to come over."

After returning to the study hall and sitting for a while, Zhou Tong entered and bowed. Zhao Ti asked, "How is Jiumozhi?"

Zhou Tong said, "Your Majesty, this monk ate and drank, asked for treatment, and did not resist, but he seemed to be possessed by a demon, and kept reciting scriptures. I do not understand Buddhist scriptures, so I do not know what he means."

Zhao Ti said, "Just eat and drink. I know what he is thinking. Don't pay attention to him. Otherwise, I will ruin his heart with a few words. I am afraid he will no longer be able to live in this world."

Zhou Tong said: "Your Majesty, I heard from Tongdiao Temple that this monk has extraordinary martial arts skills..."

Zhao Ti said: "He has amazing talent, which is rare in the world. All the martial arts he practices are unique. In fact, Guangzu, you are also talented, but I don't know why Master Jin didn't pass down some unique skills."

Zhou Tong said with embarrassment: "Master has learned a lot of things. He has taught three disciples in total, and I am the youngest. Master focuses on teaching me spears, horses, bows and arrows, fighting in battle formations, and although he also teaches me boxing and swords, he doesn't teach me much."

Zhao Ti nodded: "The battle formation will be used sooner or later, you must study it carefully."

Zhou Tong said yes. Zhao Ti pondered for a moment and said, "I have a few martial arts books that are suitable for you, all of which are about spears and swords, and there is also a book on internal skills. You can take it."

As he spoke, he took out a few booklets and handed them to Zhou Tong, who bowed hastily: "Thank you, Your Majesty. I will do my best to serve you."

Zhao Ti said: "Lead those Jianghu men well and don't let them cause trouble."

Zhou Tong nodded in agreement, bowed again and left.

Zhao Ti watched him go out and drank some tea. Suddenly, he heard long whistles coming from a distance.

The sound was so powerful that it seemed to shake the sky, showing that the person's internal strength was extraordinary.

He couldn't help but narrow his eyes, put down the book in his hand, and stood up.

At this moment, hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside the door, and Tong Guan knocked on the door and came in: "Your Highness, there are assassins on the island, please take shelter for a while..."

"What assassin?" Zhao Ti walked around the desk.

"Your Highness, the soldiers who reported the news said that it was a man with white hair and a youthful face, who was as handsome as a jade, and whose martial arts skills were extremely high. Because he did not come ashore from the military camp, the crossbowmen could not surround and shoot him. He first went to Madam Wang's residence, and then quickly rushed over here."

"White hair and youthful face, a handsome face?" Zhao Ti thought about it, is this Ding Chunqiu coming back?

Ding Chunqiu comes to Mantuo Villa to visit Li Qingluo every year. He arrived a few days ago, but then left and no one knew where he went.

"Let's go out and take a look." Zhao Ti said.

"Your Highness, you can't do that. That man is a very skilled martial artist. If anything goes wrong, I will be blamed. Your Highness, you should go to the back to rest for a while and ask me to guard the door. Unless I die for my country, no one will be allowed to enter!"

Zhao Ti shook his head and said, "Practice the Sunflower Manual more often when you have time. It's better than just talking big and flattering."

Upon hearing the words "Sunflower Manual", Tong Guan immediately became speechless and followed Zhao Ti out the door.

There is an open space outside the study hall, with tea trees planted on both sides in the distance. At this moment, the fragrance of the flowers wafts over, which is very intoxicating.

At this time, the whistling sound was heard getting closer and closer, and soon it was in front of them. It was a figure in a long robe with wide sleeves. The soldiers immediately went to meet him.

But this man's body movements were extremely fast. When he waved his sleeves, the wind whistled and the sound of his internal force broke through the air continuously. Without any delay, he got rid of the entanglement in a few breaths and flew to within four or five feet of Zhao Ti.
