In the next half-moon, Yu Qingfeng complained endlessly, probably because he hadn't been beaten by his master for so long. He didn't know why this time, but he always felt extra painful. Before giving him a boxing meal every day, he had to practice boxing for half a day, because it was destined to
After the punching, I was exhausted, in pain all over my body, and couldn't move.
But it would be fine if he only got beaten once, but in fact after the beating, his master would lift one person up with one hand, like a chicken, and carry them into a medicinal bath room, maybe
Since he was rich, Chen Chao also hired someone to build a large pool in his house. After giving him a punch every day, he would throw the two of them into it and let them beat their muscles.
Yu Qingfeng yelled as usual, but He Liang just endured it silently, very much like the Chen Dynasty back then.
However, their lineage's body polishing is also different from ordinary ones. Because of the blessing of the white mist, they often reach a higher level beyond the limit that ordinary people can't bear.
Although this is more painful, the benefits are obvious.
Chen Chao was sitting in front of the bamboo tower. While the two disciples were beating his body, white mist came out from between his mouth and nose. In fact, the flow of qi in his body was also practice.
The door of a room next to him was opened, and Ning Qingnian, who had long wet hair, walked out and sat down next to Chen Chao. Chen Chao picked up a dry cloth and wiped his hair as a close disciple.
Ning Qingnian has now embarked on the path of martial arts, but among the three disciples, Chen Chao has the most complex thoughts about his little disciple. She is indeed a martial arts embryo, but she is a woman. Just in terms of physical exertion, Chen Chao
In fact, Chao was a little reluctant to let her do it, but if she didn't work hard along the way, she would be nothing but a flower.
While wiping the hair of his closed disciple, Chen Chao thought for a while and asked: "Qing Nian, isn't it a bit hard to beat the body?"
Ning Qingnian shook her head, "It's not bitter."
These two words suddenly stuck what Chen Chao wanted to say in his throat, making him unable to say anything else.
"Master, do you want me to give up martial arts and practice something else?"
Ning Qingnian raised her head, her eyes were between her hair, but they were still extremely bright.
Chen Chao smoothed her hair and said with a calm smile: "I have this idea, but if you think you can endure hardship and are unwilling, then just pretend that the master didn't say anything."
Ning Qingnian did not continue the topic, but instead asked, "Master, how do my qualifications in martial arts compare to those of my two senior brothers?"
Chen Chao glanced at the room, listened to the shouting that had no strength, and said: "You are better than Xiao Tiantian, and Xiao He is harder, but their combined talents are not as good as yours."
If there is no distinction between men and women, in terms of talent alone, Ning Qingnian is the disciple most suitable to inherit his mantle.
"Then why should I practice something else?" Ning Qingnian looked at Chen Chao and said with a smile: "Master's martial arts is obviously waiting for me to inherit it."
After hearing this, Chen Chao's raised hand paused in mid-air for a moment, then dropped it, placed it on Ning Qingnian's head, and said with a smile: "Then you will be the most amazing woman in the world."
Ning Qingnian shook her head and said seriously: "Remove the word woman."
Chen Chao laughed heartily.

The border troops in the north finally arrived outside the city of Shendu at the end of this early autumn.
Before the army entered the city, almost all the northern generals were in a trance when looking at this majestic city outside the city gate.
In the northern border, they have been stationed for many years and have fought countless monsters. It can be said that everyone has been killed from the mountains of corpses and seas of blood. It is said that they are used to seeing life and death without any problems. Everyone's
Their minds were extremely firm, but seeing this majestic city at this moment, almost everyone's minds were wavering.
They all saw this majestic city for the first time.
It was the first time I saw this so-called imperial capital of the Liang Dynasty.
Li Changling couldn't help but wiped his face to calm himself down, "Damn, he's not... that high."
Having said that, he still couldn't help but choke up.
He thought of those former Pao Ze who fought with him on the battlefield and experienced life and death together. However, they were not as lucky as him. They did not see the demon tribe defeated by them, nor did they see this majestic city.
At this time, I feel natural.
Gao Xuan also grew up in the frontier army. Several generations of people have been frontier army generals. He has seen pictures of this divine city, but it is indeed very different from the divine city in the portrait.
As the city gate opened wide, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince walked out with all the civil and military officials.
When a large army returns to court, if there is a great victory, it is always customary for the emperor to welcome him personally. In this battle in the north, the border troops directly wiped out the demon tribe. Such an unparalleled achievement will naturally be treated with the highest courtesy.
Looking at the civil and military officials, the generals stood up and dismounted. Although they had great achievements, they naturally had to pay attention to the basic etiquette of a monarch and his ministers.
His Royal Highness the Prince came to Xie Nandu in a few steps and smiled softly: "Sister-in-law... General Xie, thank you for your hard work."
Xie Nandu nodded slightly and said something that His Highness Du Lai said. Although she didn't like to say these things, she still had to say something on this occasion.
Unexpectedly, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince waved his hand and said dissatisfiedly: "General Xie, no matter what official tone you use, we are all a family, how can we use this?"
Xie Nandu just smiled slightly and didn't say much.
Afterwards, His Royal Highness the Prince led Xie Nandu into the city and reminded: "General Xie remembered that before the court meeting, he and his brother went to the palace. There was a family dinner, and he also wanted his brother to see his nephew."
Crown Princess Wu Xinyue was pregnant long before the Northern War, and gave birth to her grandson in the last days of the Northern War.
"I haven't chosen a name yet."
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince smiled and said, "I'm just waiting for my brother to name me."
…
…
Xie Nandu felt much more relaxed when he returned to the bamboo house he had not seen for a long time.
These days in the north, troops have to be dispatched every day. My thoughts are in a mess and I have no time to relax. Ordinary people will not understand that kind of mental pressure.
Chen Chao led his three apprentices out and said with a smile, "How did you get here?"
Xie Nandu looked at him, but before he could speak, the disciples beside Chen Chao all started to greet the master's wife.
After Xie Nandu responded to them, he looked at Chen Chao and asked, "Do you know when we will return to Beijing? Why don't we go to the city gate?"
Chen Chao scratched his head and said, "I am now like this. I appear at the city gate. I don't know how many people there are. Among the people, I don't know how many young girls are waiting for marriage. You can barely enter the city smoothly at this time.
If I had gone, would you have been able to do so smoothly?"
Hearing these words, Yu Qingfeng twitched the corners of his mouth and quickly turned his head to the side, while He Liang had a matter-of-fact look on his face, while Ning Qingnian had no expression at all.
Xie Nandu clicked his tongue and said, "You said so much, but you didn't mention anything about asking that Minister Liu to come to apologize?"
Chen Chao was a little embarrassed, "Since you knew it earlier, why are you teasing me? But I didn't ask him to come to apologize. I just asked Weng Quan to say something about me coming back. As for why he made such a big fuss, God knows."
"Can you not know?"
Xie Nandu glanced at Chen Chao, then walked up the steps and sat down under the eaves. He suddenly felt a little weird, "There is something in the world that our guardian envoy doesn't know about?"
Chen Chao remained silent.
Xie Nandu was too lazy to say anything more. He just smiled and said, "You can do whatever you want, as long as you are happy."
When listening to this, Chen Chao laughed, because he did not hear any other meaning in it, only the most superficial meaning.
So he said: "Just wait, I will roast some sweet potatoes for you."
…
…
Two days before the court meeting, Chen Chao took Xie Nandu into the palace, and it was Li Shou who led him into the palace.
I am still humble towards this Lord Guardian, the eunuch who is close to His Royal Highness.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was waiting in front of the side hall, with Wu Xinyue on his side, holding the grandson of the current emperor of the Daliang Dynasty.
After seeing Chen Chao, His Highness the Crown Prince came over in a few steps and said, "Brother, since you have returned to the capital of the gods, why haven't you come to see me?"
Chen Chao came to his senses earlier than everyone else in the north. His Royal Highness had been waiting for him, but Chen Chao was not willing to enter the palace so early.
Chen Chao laughed, "It's been a long time since I've been back to Shendu. Several disciples have been neglected in their cultivation. It will definitely take some time."
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said oh and then asked a concerned question, "I heard that my father appeared on the top of the General's Mansion. Did you leave any message for me?"
After hearing this, Xie Nandu glanced at Chen Chao.
Chen Chao nodded and smiled: "His Majesty laughed and said that he can feel at ease with His Highness sitting in the capital of the gods."
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's eyes shone brightly, "Really?"
Chen Chao smiled and nodded.
Wu Xinyue smiled and said: "His Highness is very worried these days when brother is away."
His Royal Highness, who was somewhat distracted, finally came to his senses and quickly asked Wu Xinyue to show the child to Chen Chao.
"Brother, I have thought about it again and again, but I'm afraid it would be better for my brother to name this child."
His Highness the Crown Prince looked at Chen Chao sincerely. This sentence was profound.
Chen Chao thought for a while and was about to refuse when Xie Nandu suddenly said, "Chen Chao."
She said these two words.
Chen Chao understood, so he thought for a moment and said with a smile: "Call it Leping. I hope that from now on, the people of Daliang will live and work in peace and contentment, and the world will be peaceful."
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince nodded directly without any hesitation, "Okay, let's call it this name."
Xie Nandu covered his forehead and lowered his voice, "I told you to study more."
Chen Chao had no expression on his face, "Is it too late?"
At the family dinner that followed, among these four people, the person who talked the most at the table was not His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Chen Chao, but Wu Xinyue.
Because she was there, the meal was not awkward.
Finally, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked: "When is my brother going to get married?"
Chen Chao did not respond.
…
…
After leaving the palace, the night was getting dark. Chen Chao and Xie Nandu were sitting in the carriage. Chen Chao got straight to the point and asked: "There is a deep meaning in the naming. You don't understand, don't you?"
Xie Nandu looked at him, "You can understand, but can I still understand?"
So Chen Chao asked: "What do you think?"
Xie Nandu glanced at the night scene outside the carriage and said: "At the meeting, I will submit a letter of resignation and refuse to resign."
Chen Chao opened his mouth and said, "I shouldn't have wronged you."
"You are overthinking this. It doesn't have to be like this. It can only be like this. It is not between the two of us that one of us must step back. It is my wish to take back thirty thousand miles of Mobei. Now that my wish has been fulfilled, I still want to do it."
What kind of general do you want to be?"
Xie Nandu looked at Chen Chao, "And you really should continue to be the guardian. Otherwise, if I am bullied in the future, who will stand up for me?"
Chen Chao smiled and said, "Are you serious?"
Xie Nandu shook his head, "I just think you look good in that official robe."
