Chapter 17 Becoming a Second-Rank Warrior

"Snapped!"

Inside Kunning Palace, the queen threw the teacup in her hand to the ground.

"What did you say? Brother Emperor went to Concubine Duan's place?"

"Yes, yes, Madam..."

The maid knelt on the ground, her body trembling.

"Concubine Duan, Concubine Duan... Why did the Emperor go to Concubine Duan's place?"

The queen said in disbelief, "Didn't he dislike Concubine Duan the most before, saying that women should stay at home and take care of their husbands and children? Why did he go to Concubine Duan tonight?"

The little palace maid whispered, "I heard from the eunuch in the Jingshifang that the emperor wanted to come to the empress's place tonight, but the empress had her period yesterday, so he ordered the eunuch in the Jingshifang to take down the empress's name card."

"Your Majesty flipped through the pages and found Concubine Duan..."

"Bastard!"

The queen covered her stomach and said with an unpleasant expression, "Why didn't those idiots in the Jingshifang warn me in advance?"

"Hurry, hurry up and hang up my sign..."

The anxious queen didn't even call herself "this palace" anymore.

"Absolutely not, my lady."

The maid quickly stopped the queen and said, "Your Majesty, your period has not subsided yet, you must not sleep with me."

"Not to mention the harm to your body, if it makes His Majesty unhappy..."

"Ugh……!"

Hearing the maid say this, the queen could only sigh.

She knew very well that the maid was right, but she was furious when she thought that she should have been the one to enjoy the honor tonight but Concubine Duan got it instead.

"Empress Duan, Xu Qingluan, I will remember this!"

She gritted her teeth and said, "Tell the eunuchs in the Jingshifang that after my period is over, they should hang up my name card as soon as possible. Do you understand?"

"Yes... Madam!"

……

Early morning, Yin time.

Xu Qingluan dragged her uncomfortable body and personally dressed Zheng Yi.

Enjoying Xu Qingluan's service, Zheng Yi felt a little distressed and said, "Luan'er, just let Jian Yu and the others do these small things. You should rest for a while."

Xu Qingluan's face was still slightly red, and she said softly: "Serving Your Majesty is my duty, I will not be in the way."

"Thanks a lot."

Last night, through the Yin-Yang Treasure Mirror, he not only obtained the "Hundred Battles Blood-Red Sword" from Xu Qingluan, but his bones and aptitude for martial arts were also enhanced.

He was so happy that he stayed on Xu Qingluan almost without getting off.

If Wang Zhongyi hadn't urged him to go to court, he would definitely not have gotten up!

It was at this moment that he truly understood what it meant to "from then on the king would no longer attend court early in the morning"!
He quickly packed up and said, "My beloved concubine, please take a rest. I will go to the morning court now."

"Congratulations to Your Majesty!"

After Wang Zhongyi took Zheng Yi away, Concubine Duan also stood up with the help of Jian Yu.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, congratulations, Your Majesty..."

Concubine Duan looked a little strange and said, "I haven't seen you for several years, and your Majesty has become so heroic."

"Especially... he is full of energy, not at all as weak as the rumors say."

Jian Yu said: "Alas, Madam, you don't go out often, so you may not know."

"During this period, there have been many rumors about Your Majesty..."

……

Outside Xianfu Palace, Zheng Yi was sitting on the sedan chair to rest. Wang Zhongyi came over and sent a message into the secret passage:

"Your Majesty, how was your enjoyment yesterday?"

"Thank you very much... Eunuch Wang. I will never forget it."

"Hehehe... For Your Majesty, I will not hesitate to die. But... Your Majesty is working so hard, are you still energetic?" Zheng Yi's mind moved, and with the dual cultivation of Yin-Yang Treasure Mirror, he did not feel tired at all.

Not to mention there are benefits to be gained.

So what if I’m a little tired?
Wang Zhongyi added: "Taiyi Dao is the ancestral temple of Taoism and the national religion of Dayu. I heard that it has the secret technique of Suoyang, which can make one have sex with ten women at night and be invincible..."

Zheng Yi collected his thoughts and said seriously, "Please teach me, sir."

After returning to the villa, Zheng Yi looked at the Yin-Yang Treasure Mirror again.

[Owner: Zheng Yi]

【Talent: Yin and Yang】

【Lifespan: 24/95】

[Kung Fu: The first level of "White Lotus Reincarnation Divine Art" (100/100)]

[The first level of "Hundred Battles Blood Blade" (25/100)]

【Comprehensive Strength: Grade Three】

After practicing dual cultivation with Concubine Duan Xu Qingluan for one night, he actually gained 25 points of proficiency in the Hundred Battles Blood Evil Blade.

I have to say, Concubine Duan is very attractive.

Moreover, because her physique and qualifications are different from those of ordinary people, she should be the best among the women in the harem.

It seems that the more he practices dual cultivation with a woman who has stronger qualifications, aptitude, and comprehension, the more benefits he will gain.

"What a pity. Bi He is pregnant, so the Jingshifang cannot hang up his sign. My "White Lotus Reincarnation Divine Art" is stuck at the first level and I can't break through."

"Do we really have to wait eight or nine months for Bihe to give birth and be out of confinement?"

"But fortunately, Concubine Duan is here."

"Hundred Battles Blood Blade..."

This is a sword technique, but also an internal martial arts technique.

It was created by Xu Mujun, the number one man in the army, and it is a complete killing technique.

Integrating swordsmanship into the mind is the most effective swordsmanship in fighting.

When fighting with others, the more you kill, the stronger you become, and you can combine your own internal energy with the evil spirit to exert greater power!
The most important thing is that this technique does not place much emphasis on the warrior's aptitude and qualifications.

As long as you have the courage, you can fight the enemy on the battlefield.

Then the more people you kill, the more internal energy you will have, and the stronger you will be!

Among the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Dayu Dynasty, at least more than half of them are practicing "The Bloody Sword of a Hundred Battles"!
Of course, ordinary soldiers only practice ordinary swordsmanship and have no internal skills.

And the "Blood Sword of a Hundred Battles" that Zheng Yi obtained from Xu Qingluan is undoubtedly the most authentic one, passed down from Xu Mujun!
"Ordinary soldiers who want to practice the Hundred Battles Blood Blade must enter the battlefield, but my battlefield is somewhere else...!"

"Xu Qingluan!"

In the next few days, Zheng Yi stayed overnight in Xianfu Palace every day and practiced dual cultivation with Xu Qingluan.

"The Bloody Sword of a Hundred Battles" made rapid progress and soon broke through the second level.

He could feel a violent aura surrounding his dantian, which he could mobilize at will.

However, the internal force cultivated from the "White Lotus Reincarnation Divine Art" was hovering in a corner, not daring to compete.

At the same time, in the past few days, Zheng Yi also obtained a lot of information greater than the court through Wang Zhongyi, the young eunuch, and the guards.

The third year of the Zhengei era, October 13th.

Xu Mu's army defeated the Wu army and captured the "Heishan Pass", a strategic border pass of the Wu state!
From then on, there was no strategic location to defend inland Wu State, and dozens of cities were exposed to the attack of Xu Mu's army.

At this time, Yang Xuansu submitted a memorial stating that "military rations are urgent and the two countries need friendly relations", strictly ordering Xu Mujun not to mobilize troops at will and to garrison Heishan Pass.

In the court, Emperor Zhengyong was furious.

However, the Minister of Revenue claimed that there was civil unrest in Qingzhou and it was impossible to transport military supplies, so Emperor Zhengyong had to issue a garrison order.

The third year of the Zhengei era, October 16th.

The Huangtian Army, the White Lotus Sect, and the Tianming Army joined together to launch a surprise attack on the Dayu Army’s garrison, defeated the imperial guards led by Yang Guang, broke through the Dayu Army’s siege, rushed out of Qingzhou, and entered Jizhou!
From then on, the four northern states of Qingzhou, Jizhou, Haizhou and Binzhou were all in turmoil.

The Longxiang Army was also compressed in Binzhou and Heishan Pass by the rioters and the Wu State, and all its food and support channels were cut off.

The Longxiang Army became an isolated force!
Emperor Zhengyong had no choice but to issue twelve imperial edicts in succession, strictly ordering Xu Mu's army to withdraw and suppress the civil unrest!
It was in this chaotic situation that Zheng Yi relied on Xu Qingluan and the "Hundred Battles Blood Evil Sword" and became a second-grade warrior in his sleep!
