Speaking of Xia Wulang, he was considered a rare talent in the Wu Chu Dynasty, and others wished they could stay away from the Beiyue clan. Fortunately, he was stationed at the camp in the northern suburbs, and from time to time he would go to Dantai Mountain to cheat on food and drink.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that he is a craftsman sent by His Majesty or the Queen.

However, if the water is clear, there will be no fish, and if the people are clear, there will be no disciples. Without him, there will be others, and it is better to get along with him.

He likes Yuanzhao's milk tea best, which is warm in winter and cool in summer. It also contains soft and glutinous dumplings. Second is her spicy sauce and spicy chicken feet, which are made with wild peppers from Nalaoshizi. The taste is similar to that of the royal family.

different.

"Did you hide the secret recipe?" Xia Wulang asked his soul.

"Each family has different tastes," Yuan Zhao didn't even bother to give him a look, "I can't just go to the palace and report it as soon as I think of it, right? I'm not bothered, even the royal family thinks I'm bothered."

"I'm not bothered!" Xia Wulang said with great courage.

"Can you give me a reward or money?"

The royal family bought her recipe with real money. If they didn't reward her with money, they would at least give her a name so that she wouldn't have to bow to anyone in person.

"You're talking about money with me, are you vulgar?" Xia Wulang looked disgusted.

"If you don't talk about money with me, what about your conscience?" Yuan Zhao said with emotion.

"...How about we form a partnership?" He had no money in his pocket.

"You'd better live a good life." Yuan Zhao was speechless, "If you join forces with me, you don't know whether to live or die."

Xia Wulang immediately understood what she meant, and after a moment of silence, he murmured:

"Hey, when will the world be at peace?"

Only when the world is peaceful can people live and work in peace and contentment, and there can be some sincerity between people.

Hearing the word "peace", Yuan Zhao couldn't help but think of the world in his dream. Is it considered peaceful? At least the country where the person in the dream was born was peaceful.

"I once had a dream. In the dream world, there was no monarchy, no ministers, only civil servants..."

"Civil servant?" Xia Wulang half understood, "Public servant?"

"Yes, public officials serve the country and the people. They make laws, and as long as people don't break the law, they can live whatever they like. Farmers not only don't have to pay taxes for farming, but the state also reimburses them..."

"Absurd!" Xia Wulang exclaimed in disbelief, "You are indeed dreaming!!"

"Get out!" Lao Zhi said without hesitation.

A common man like him doesn't understand the loneliness and solitude of a genius.

Of course, Xia Wulang didn't often eat and drink for free. For example, this time he brought a lot of bacon and dry food, as well as the Yanpeng tea that the Queen appreciated and the Baihua Spring water from Jiu'an Mountain.

"I heard from my Sanniang that this Yanpeng tea is harvested in very small quantities every year, and it is a perfect match with the Baihua Spring water." Yuan Zhao picked up the palm-sized tea can and weighed it, with a look of confusion on his face, "How do you use such a tea can?"

If you come here more, your Majesty, your Majesty, won’t object?”

Could it be that she secretly gave it away to others? Then wouldn’t she become a coquettish woman who deceives men into taking out their wealth? I’m so excited! I didn’t expect that she has such ability.

"What's the objection? Who in the family knows how to taste tea? Aren't you just using it to show off your appearance?" Xia Wulang was straightforward and said frankly, "Especially my brothers, I don't know how much they give away to please the woman they like...

"

Instead of watching them give this tea to those coquettish women, it would be better to give it to Yuan Zhao who practices with him.

"But I am also a woman! Aren't you afraid of causing panic to your father-in-law?" Yuan Zhao kindly reminded him, "Don't forget, I am famous for my talent as a crocodile."

Phew, her unbridled words succeeded in making Xia Wulang spit out tea and glare at her in embarrassment:

"As a woman, you must be reserved, know etiquette, and speak in a measured manner."

"What did I fail to do?" Yuan Zhao spread his hands with an innocent face and sat still, "I sit well and behave decently. Apart from being unprotected against you, what did I do not do enough?"

She is not boasting, but once she becomes serious, is there any lady in the capital who can be more dignified and stylish than her?

It's a pity that the person opposite is a person who doesn't understand the style. When he heard about the defense between men and women, he was so frightened that he quickly clarified:

"Hey, let me declare in advance that this young master has no objection to you! It's purely about making friends with force, nothing else. Don't misunderstand me, don't misunderstand me!"

Yuan Zhao: "..." Get out.

Xia Wulang is eighteen years old this year, and Yuan Zhao is fifteen years old, and is about to hold a coming-of-age ceremony. By then, the two of them will have many worries about their daily interactions, and they will not be as comfortable as they are now.

"My father ordered me to be on the list for the martial arts exam this year and to serve the imperial court. It is estimated that it will be difficult for me to meet him again in the future." Xia Wulang said before leaving, "The eighth prince has been practicing martial arts diligently these years. I will eventually have a fight with you, so you can handle it yourself.

"

After Yuan Zhao heard this, he bowed his hands and bowed deeply to express his gratitude.

Watching his handsome back drifting away in the wind and snow, she couldn't help but feel filled with emotion. The young boy in the past had grown up and was gradually working hard to become an upright man.

He told her that the Eighth Prince's master was not only the number one master in his dynasty, but also a ferocious master who was famous throughout the world. Since he became the Eighth Prince's master, this man rarely showed up and never competed with outsiders.

The reason is very simple, she is afraid that Marquis Dingyuan will send people to try out the martial arts methods and then teach her the methods of martial arts so that she can know herself and the enemy and win the victory.

Xia Wulang is a very curious person. He and Yuan Zhao have been fighting since childhood and have benefited a lot. When he learned that the eighth prince also had a famous teacher to guide him, he felt even more itchy and wanted to compete with him several times.

It's a pity that the eighth prince has a cold temperament and always seems to avoid strangers. He is not close to his brothers, let alone Xia Wulang, the queen's cousin's son?

As he grew older, Xia Wulang gradually realized the seriousness of the matter.

The Eighth Prince kept it secret in order to be able to surprise and win when he had a life-and-death showdown with Yuan Zhao in the future. General and Nemesis were just two names in the eyes of outsiders, but in the eyes of the person involved, they were two talismans of life and death.

One life, one death.

Either he dies or she dies.

Xia Wulang has not been able to defeat Yuan Zhao so far, and he is quite confident in her skills. However, it is easy to block open guns and hard to prevent hidden arrows, so he had to remind her aloud.

She is the descendant of the Beiyue clan, the fighting clan who can scare foreign countries into two wars just by her name. From the moment she knew the history of Beicang, she had endless feelings for the Beiyue clan.

A heart of admiration.

During the dynasty change war many years ago, the Beiyue clan killed each other, resulting in the near extinction of the men in their prime.

Today, except for Marquis Dingyuan, all the men of the Beiyue clan are scribes. Even Beiyue Sanlang has average qualifications.

In his eyes, Yuan Zhao, who had fought against him since childhood, was much stronger than Saburo.

Therefore, he hoped that she would live and that she would continue the heroic demeanor of the Beiyue clan in the history of the Wuchu Dynasty in the years to come...

At the end of the first month of the fifteenth year of Fengyuan, the fifth prince, the sixth prince and the sons of a group of dignitaries were assassinated on their way to Dongzhou Academy. During this period, the fifth prince died while protecting the sixth prince, and Prince Sang Lan was also seriously injured.

It was impossible to go to Dongzhou Academy, so everyone returned to the capital to treat the seriously injured. At the same time, the armies of Daqi and Yanshu pressed the border and took advantage of the Wuchu Dynasty to come back when it was in grief.

Emperor Fengyuan was so angry that he ordered the death of his eldest daughter from Yanshu, the one who became the crown prince's concubine. She was pregnant at the time, which meant that one body had two lives. Her body was rolled up in coarse cloth and sent to the front line.

Let Yan Shu collect her body.

This humiliation made the Yanshu army extremely angry, and at the same time, their morale greatly increased, and they directly captured a city in Wuchu.
