The number one rebel of the Great Wu

"Well, I might be able to remember a little bit."

Chen Changgeng knew that if he didn't hand over something this time, he probably wouldn't be able to get out.

So he decided to give up and went to an open space, taking a deep breath.

My mind went completely blank, and I let all my muscles relax into a state of emptiness.

Immediately, he slowly began to move.

The moment he raised his hand, Chen Changgeng felt as if the Gangyang Gong within his body had been summoned and was beginning to stir.

Chen Changgeng immediately sensed something was wrong!

If I were to activate the Gangyang Technique at this moment, wouldn't it be instantly detected?

In Xiao Jingtian's eyes, the fact that he concealed his martial arts skills, regardless of his motives, would be met with a big question mark.

He then contacted the Crown Prince and learned that he was a person close to him.

He's probably starting to think he's a spy planted next to the Crown Prince!

On the surface, Xiao Jingtian didn't seem to like his second son, Xiao Lie, very much.

Even Xiao Lie's mother, although she was the first empress and of noble status, was only married into the royal family through a marriage alliance.

Only Xiao Jingtian knew how much Xiao Lie's mother had helped him.

To be fair...

This relationship is just like that between Xiao Lie and Shen Qingci today.

If Xiao Lie were to become emperor, Shen Qingci's support would be indispensable.

If Shen Qingci had given birth to Xiao Lie's child and then died, Xiao Lie would definitely cherish this posthumous child she left behind.

This unique feeling made Xiao Jingtian have high expectations for Xiao Lie.

But things didn't go as planned.

In this way, Xiao Lie was able to remain in the position of crown prince until recently when he was deemed useful and deposed.

If Xiao Jingtian believes that Chen Changgeng is a spy in his inner circle, then Chen Changgeng's fate is predictable.

"No, we can't panic."

"Once your mind is in disarray, your boxing technique will also become chaotic."

Chen Changgeng suppressed his panic and continued punching.

The moment the Gangyang Gong within his body was activated.

Another surge of internal energy instantly rose within Chen Changgeng's body, mixing with the extremely powerful and yang internal energy of the Gangyang Gong.

The two merged and gradually grew stronger.

The medicinal power of the Great Rejuvenating Pill, which had been absorbed but not yet fully digested, gradually dissipated under the sweep of these two internal forces!

"This...this is the internal energy I inherited from Shion back then!"

Ziyuan's internal energy is inherently yin and soft.

Thirty years of internal energy, if you really calculate it, is more than ten times the potency of the Great Rejuvenation Pill.

There was simply not enough food for Chen Changgeng to finish in one go.

When Tai Chi moves, Yin and Yang combine, and the two internal forces quickly merge together.

Not only did it not expose Chen Changgeng's strength, it also allowed his internal energy to grow rapidly!

"So fast!"

Chen Changgeng felt waves of heat gradually rising within his body.

Although he had been practicing the Gangyang Gong for so long, he felt that his internal strength had not increased much because he thought his skills were not yet up to par.

But once Tai Chi was performed, it seemed like all the previous training had been made up for at once.

In the blink of an eye, Chen Changgeng felt that his internal strength had increased by about a month!

"It seems that the internal energy I had accumulated over the past thirty years was too great."

"If I want to cultivate my internal energy naturally, I need to absorb it completely, otherwise I will be hindered."

"This Tai Chi Chuan combines the Gangyang Gong and Ziyuan's internal energy into one."

"At the same time, it accelerated the absorption of the Great Rejuvenation Pill and the Ziyuan internal energy, and it was as if a gap had been opened."

"It gave me the possibility to cultivate internal energy!"

Chen Changgeng was overjoyed.

If he had known that Tai Chi had this effect, he would have practiced it every day!

He finished a set of boxing techniques with fluid and graceful movements.

As expected, the growth of Chen Changgeng's internal energy stopped.

It seems that without the help of Tai Chi, it will be difficult for me to cultivate internal strength in a short period of time.

Seeing that Chen Changgeng had finished his work, Xiao Jingtian was still so engrossed in Tai Chi that he couldn't help but clap his hands vigorously.

"Great! Wonderful!"

"Truly, there are always people more capable than you, and mountains beyond mountains!"

"I originally thought that by creating this set of boxing techniques, I could be unparalleled in the world."

"I never imagined that such an astonishing martial art existed in a place I was unaware of."

"I am very pleased!"

Chen Changgeng quickly turned around and bowed.

"My understanding of boxing techniques is insufficient; I can only imitate it to show Your Majesty."

"If it were Your Majesty who learned this boxing style back then, you would surely be able to dance it a hundred times, a thousand times better than me!"

Chen Changgeng's flattery pleased Xiao Jingtian greatly.

Although Chen Changgeng was visibly absorbed in his punches just now, and his punching style could even be described as almost perfect.

But Xiao Jingtian was the emperor and a martial arts genius, so he naturally considered himself the strongest.

As long as the flattery is done in a way that sounds genuine and righteous, it can be mistaken for flattery.

"It's alright, it's alright. I have already learned a lot from this set of boxing techniques."

"I will revise my boxing techniques properly during this southern tour."

"When I return, I will summon you to the palace so that we can have a friendly sparring match."

Chen Changgeng was so shocked that he knelt down with a thud.

"No, no, how could I, a lowly person, possibly spar with His Majesty!"

Xiao Jingtian was overjoyed.

"Hey, what are you afraid of? With your mediocre skills, do you really think you can hurt me?"

Chen Changgeng pretended to be distressed.

"I...I'm afraid Your Majesty will beat me to death!"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jingtian burst into laughter and waved his hand.

"Don't worry, don't worry, I won't be that reckless."

"Eunuch Sun, get Chen Changgeng a jade waist token."

"With this waist token, you can freely enter and exit the palace."

"If anything goes wrong, you can use this token to enter and have me personally escorted!"

"clear?"

Chen Changgeng cursed under his breath.

Is this for me?

You want me to use a badge to protect the prince, don't you?

It seems that Xiao Jingtian also had a vague feeling that something bad would happen during his absence.

"I am writing down the Emperor's bestowal."

Chen Changgeng quickly took the waist tag.

After seeing the Emperor off, Chen Changgeng finally breathed a long sigh of relief.

Finally, I can walk again.

……

When Shen Qingci returned to the Crown Prince's residence, he was just about to leave.

When the emperor established his capital, civil and military officials naturally saw him off.

Since the Crown Prince is confined to his residence, he will not go, so Shen Qingci will have to do it in his place.

"You went to the palace?"

"Did the Crown Prince send you?"

Today's trip to the palace was so sudden that even Shen Qingci didn't know why.

Moreover, Chen Changgeng got up very early.

If it weren't for Ruyi keeping a close eye on her, she would still be completely in the dark.

"I went to see the Emperor on the orders of the Crown Prince."

"Your Majesty is very happy."

Chen Changgeng said nothing, yet it was as if he had said everything.

You actually kept this from me?

Shen Qingci's beautiful eyes widened instantly, and she stretched out her slender fingers to tap Chen Changgeng's forehead.

"You wait, I'll settle this with you when I get back!"
