Chapter 10 Entering the Jianghu [Seeking follow-up reading]

"Snapped--"

"Snapped--"

The first snowfall last night made the palace within the red walls look even more ancient. As the morning hour approached, the sound of the morning whip signaling the palace servants to get up early was heard from afar in a small courtyard in the direct residence where the eunuchs lived.

"All the strength of standing still lies in one embrace."

"Don't seek novelty, just seek comfort."

"The inner movement has its own image outside."

“Success comes from accidental things.”

In the snowy yard, a middle-aged young man with a naked upper body revealing his muscular body was listening quietly with a relaxed expression, maintaining a posture with his chest hunched and his head stretched back as if hanging from a beam, without moving a muscle.

It was the winter solstice, and his skin was as red as a branding iron. His long hair, which was tied up with a copper hairpin, was steaming, as if he was not standing in a static stance but carrying a hundred pounds of weight on his back.

"A few years ago, I reached a higher level of artistic conception and tried to integrate the Eight Gates of Demon Subjugation into the Soft Stance. I also taught many young people who were impressive. Only you can practice the Standing Stance with three gates open."

puff--

The sound of wind blew from the side, but the young man didn't even blink. His whole body was forcibly moved a few inches away, leaving a mud line on the snow, but his body remained motionless like an iron ornament.

"My character has also been polished."

On the side, the old man who looked like a white ape nodded and said, "You have practiced some skills. Keep it. It's the winter solstice. Come and eat dumplings with me."

Hearing this, the young boy suddenly came to life, and after finishing his work, he smiled at him and said, "Grandpa, give me another pot of mutton. I'm craving for it."

"There's food for you."

"..."

Soon, a copper pot of hot mutton was served in the courtyard. Wei Mingqi was enjoying a bowl of pork dumplings.

Five years seemed to have passed in a flash. The boy who used to be skinny and not even as tall as the girl has grown up completely. Even when he is sitting on the kang, you can see that he has a strong body. Anyone who sees him will say that he is a seven-foot tall man.

Especially his appearance, which already has the signs of being a "cholera". He has the same beautiful and noble eyes and eyebrows as his mother, but he does not look feminine. Perhaps it is because his father's advantages are neutralized, so that he looks cold and stern in the biting cold wind, and looks heroic again when the ice and snow melt.

Wanrenshan seemed to have seen the demeanor of the next generation of martial arts, and suddenly sighed:
"Of all the palaces, I like you the most, but you are unwilling to take my mantle. If I can be ruthless when I return to the palace, you can guard this imperial city for me for another hundred years."

"..."

On the opposite side, Wei Mingqi couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

This old eunuch was very narrow-minded. Because he had neglected Wei Mingqi on the road, Wei Mingqi suddenly fell into a coma the day before entering Beijing, and when he woke up, he found himself lying in the cleansing room.

The one who operated on him was this evil-hearted old eunuch.

Fortunately, Wei Mingqi was quick-witted and called him "Grandpa" just before Xiao Queque was in danger, otherwise he would have turned evil by now.

Thinking of this, his tone suddenly became resentful:
"Grandpa, why do you always want your grandson to have no descendants? I want him to call you ancestor after I have a child."

This is said with great sincerity.

During the past five years, he was under house arrest in the palace. Wan Renshan visited him from time to time, taught him martial arts and gave him special training. In the end, he even passed on his unique martial art "Eight Gates to Subdue Demons".

Even if it was just to win people's hearts, he would accept it if it went this far.

opposite,

Wan Renshan picked up a vegetarian dumpling slowly and said, "I see that you take the sexual desire between men and women too seriously. If you are going to fail in your life, it will definitely be because of a woman."

His words contained a hidden reminder.

"..."

Wei Mingqi suddenly blushed.

Could it be that his collection of books was seen by this old eunuch? No way, he hid it very well -

Although he was panicking, he still said stubbornly, "That's not necessarily true. With your grandson's eloquence and looks, how could it not be a woman who framed me?"

Wanrenshan looked up at him.

After a while, he actually nodded seriously: "That's true, I can't guarantee it."

"..."

Wei Mingqi endured the stench and ate two more mouthfuls. Finally, he couldn't help asking, "Grandpa, what's going on outside now? Just tell me what I can find out."

"How many times have I told you?" Wan Renshan ate quickly and put down his empty bowl first: "When you are in a maze, don't listen to what others say to you. You have to see everything for yourself."

Wei Mingqi hesitated to speak——

He had been under house arrest in this palace for five years, and could not even leave. How could he see it? Not to mention the outside, he had never even seen what was inside the palace.

Snapped--

Wanrenshan suddenly threw something over.

"Here is the token for you. Tomorrow you can decide whether to go to the West Palace Office to take up an errand. From now on, you can come to the palace city as you like."

"..."

Wei Mingqi was a little dazed.

Of course he knew what this meant. This token meant that he had been 'released from prison', and that the Queen Mother deep in the palace had finally put her mind at ease with him to some extent.

"Grandpa Gan——"

Wei Mingqi raised his head and did not forget whose credit it was.

Considering that he had no ability to protect himself back then, he not only did not suffer any injustice in this huge palace, but grew up rapidly and even gained freedom after a few years. All this was definitely not the intention of the supreme ruler.

Killing him to eliminate the trouble once and for all is the lowest cost approach.

"Why should a man, a husband, act like a daughter?"

Wan Renshan smiled casually, stood up without hesitation and waved his hand, signaling him not to see him off:
"Let's go. As long as you are true to your conscience, you can choose how to live in the future."

Wei Mingqi's nose didn't even have time to feel sore.

"Oh, right--"

The old eunuch turned around and winked teasingly: "Don't forget to take the things under the mat away. Don't let anyone see it, or I'll sue you for disrespect."

"..."

Wei Mingqi's feeling of being touched disappeared in an instant.

Not long after.

Wei Mingqi, carrying a bag on his back, walked slowly along the long palace road, looking around the palace that had 'imprisoned' him for five years. Surprisingly, he did not feel much resentment in his heart.

He stopped at the city gate.

It's not the emotional effect of a prisoner being released from prison, but rather the excitement and thrill.

Li He.

Thanks Beiling.

Two faces appeared in his mind one after another, and as if by magic, a figure that had not appeared for several years crawled out, making Wei Mingqi couldn't help but look back.

But there was no one in sight.

Some of his emotions were dispelled, and he took a big step forward and walked into this world.

After his figure disappeared.

"cough--"

A suppressed cough sounded from somewhere around the red wall, which quickly attracted another concerned voice: "Are you okay?"

"No problem."

"The Queen Mother really let him go like this? He is the future big devil in the martial arts world. Even Wan Gong said that his talent is rare in the ages."

"Humph."

A sickly snort of discontent.

"What do you mean by rare? I pinned him to the ground and beat him so hard that he didn't even dare to cry. The so-called mocking fairy is just like this."

"Let's go——"

"Yes, Your Majesty."
