Chapter 273: Invasion from Southern Xinjiang
Chapter 273: Invasion from Southern Xinjiang
"However, I have mastered a special skill in this life, and my originally weak body is now much better than before."
Qi Lingheng had already confessed to Su Tang that he had memories of his previous life, so when he told Su Tang about the secret book, Su Tang didn't find it strange.
However, Su Tang still looked at Qi Lingheng and asked, "What's the difference between that technique and the one you learned before? Can someone like me, who is old and has no basic skills, learn it?"
Su Tang has always envied Qi Lingheng and the others' light skills. Even if she can't learn them, it's good to be able to strengthen her body.
She is not so busy now, so she can take some time every day to practice, just as a way to exercise her body.
"I will keep silent when I go back, you try it." After thinking for a moment, Qi Lingheng felt that the special thing about the secret book was that it could allow a person without any basic skills to practice.
"Okay." Su Tang replied.
However, before they returned, Qi Lingheng would go to Su Tang's space and start memorizing the secret book whenever he had time.
Within a few days, the secret book was completely written out.
"How is this different from what you practiced before?" Su Tang flipped through it and found that it only described some basic principles of body training.
"After practicing this secret book, you will find that there are strands of energy flowing into your body all around. You will be extra energetic every day, and you won't feel tired even if you don't sleep for a few days..." Qi Lingheng told Su Tang about his feelings.
"Then I'll practice first and see if it's really that magical." Su Tang put the secret book into the space. She had already memorized the first few moves in the secret book.
This secret body training method also requires some breathing techniques, and can be practiced while sitting cross-legged.
Su Tang closed her eyes and began to practice according to the secret book, while Qi Lingheng stood by to help her keep watch.
Fortunately, the journey back was safe. When they returned to Kyoto, Su Tang actually practiced all the breathing methods described in the book.
In the space, Qi Lingheng helped her go over the body-building techniques.
"How is it? Do you feel the strength flowing into your body?" Qi Lingheng looked at Su Tang and asked.
"No, maybe I have practiced for too short a time, but I don't feel sleepy easily anymore, and I'm not that tired after performing a set of moves." Su Tang shook her head, but she originally wanted to achieve the effect of physical exercise by practicing the martial arts of this world, and now her goal has actually been achieved.
"By the way, have you had that strange dream again?" Qi Lingheng looked at Su Tang and asked.
"No, maybe it has something to do with my practice. Now that my body is healthy, I won't have those weird dreams anymore."
In fact, Su Tang and Qi Lingheng both knew that Su Tang's experience was not a dream. After all, Su Tang brought real things from that foggy place, which proved that it was not a dream.
"Maybe."
The group returned to Kyoto and had just arrived at Prince Qi's Mansion when Qi Lingheng received news from Emperor Jing asking him to enter the palace.
"The emperor must have sent someone to monitor you. Why did he call you into the palace right after you came back and haven't even sat down on the stool?" Su Tang said to Qi Lingheng who was changing clothes.
There were no outsiders in the room at this time, only the two of them. Otherwise, Su Tang would not have complained about the emperor like that. After all, the emperor was still her nominal father.
"Don't talk nonsense, this matter..." Qi Lingheng didn't want Su Tang to talk about Emperor Jing in Kyoto. In his opinion, Emperor Jing's love for Su Tang was only slightly better than that for other princesses.
When he first met Su Tang, perhaps out of guilt, he made her a princess and gave her some rewards. But after such a long time, that guilt had gradually dissipated in the emperor's letter.
After all, an emperor would not feel that he owes anything to others. In their minds, everything they do has reasons.
When Su Tang heard what Qi Lingheng said, she understood what he didn't finish saying, but Emperor Jing was indeed not as close to her as when they first met, so Su Tang had no choice but to nod in agreement.
"Then you must be careful when entering the palace." The people in Prince Qi's Mansion have followed the Qi family for generations. The news of Qi Lingheng's return to Beijing should have been transmitted to the palace through the city gate. It seems that Emperor Jing has been sending people to follow Qi Lingheng. He must be extremely afraid of Qi Lingheng and worried about him.
"It's okay. His Majesty called me into the palace to deal with me. I think it has something to do with Xie Wenjing." Qi Lingheng had changed his clothes. The ink-black robe was tied with a golden belt, which immediately made him look broad-shouldered and narrow-waisted, tall and straight.
Su Tang walked to Qi Lingheng's side, gently hooked her index finger around Qi Lingheng's belt and lifted it, "On the day we got married, I'm afraid half of the women in the capital secretly hated me."
"Thank you, Princess, for saving me from this dire situation. I would never have the pleasure of having any other woman." Qi Lingheng smiled and gently pecked Su Tang's red lips.
"Master, the eunuch waiting outside is urging you again." At this time, Qi Yan in the yard shouted loudly towards the house.
Qi Lingheng sighed and pulled Su Tang away, "Come back later and I'll talk to my wife in detail."
After saying that, Qi Lingheng stood up and walked out of the house.
When they arrived in the yard, Qi Lingheng glared at Qi Yan.
Qi Yan was bewildered by the stare; he had just come in to deliver a message.
It was because that damn eunuch outside had been nagging for a long time, saying that they were late for entering the palace and that Emperor Jing should punish them, and he also wanted to go into the inner court to urge the King of Qi, so he had no choice but to come in and pass on the message.
The look in the King of Qi's eyes just now seemed to want to kill him, causing his heart to beat slowly for several beats.
Fortunately, the King of Qi did not scold him, and he quickly followed Qi Lingheng out of the King of Qi's mansion.
Soon Qi Lingheng followed the eunuch who delivered the message into the palace.
Outside the imperial study, Eunuch Fu actually gave Qi Lingheng a look. "Lord Xie and the Minister of Revenue and the Minister of War are all inside."
Qi Lingheng nodded and responded to Eunuch Fu. Although he didn't know why Eunuch Fu reminded him here today, it made Qi Lingheng have some idea of how to deal with the people he would face in the future.
"I have met your Majesty."
After entering the imperial study, Emperor Jing glanced at Qi Lingheng and said, "The King of Qi is here. Please offer him a seat."
Then a young eunuch brought a chair over for Qi Lingheng to sit on. Qi Lingheng clasped his fists and greeted several ministers who had already entered the imperial study. However, when he looked at Xie Wenjing, he just nodded slightly.
After all, he had just returned to Kyoto, and he should not know that Xie Wenjing had been reinstated.
"I summoned you to the palace today because I have an important matter to discuss with you..." Emperor Jing looked at Qi Lingheng and said.
It turned out that after the envoys from Southern Xinjiang returned, they said something to their monarch, and Southern Xinjiang actually sent troops to attack Dayong.
Today, soldiers from Southern Xinjiang have already arrived outside the border city with Dayong.
They clamored for the King of Qi to fight against them.
