Rewards In Marshal Arts Chapter 10

Liam Zhao opened his mouth and asked outside the door: "What time is it now?"

There was a young eunuch squatting outside the door, and he hurriedly replied: "Your Highness, it is now the hour of Hai, and it is almost the hour of Zi."

It was already late.

Normally, he would have almost rested.

Liam Zhao thought for a while and ordered, "Wait for me to go to bed."

"yes."

Having just achieved a breakthrough, he was still full of energy and not feeling sleepy at all.

But cultivation is a "big project" and it is not something that can be completed overnight.

In Liam Zhao's view, the planning and rhythm of such a "project" are very important, and the core lies in "perseverance" rather than acting impulsively every day.

So he decided to keep his usual schedule and not make any major adjustments.

There is another important reason why Liam Zhao did this.

Even though he was in the palace, this powerless prince did not have enough connections or influence.

He was not able to know the changes in the palace in time.

If his recent changes in his lifestyle attract the attention of someone with ulterior motives, it might cause him new trouble.

In the past, there was a palace maid who gave birth to a prince.

This prince showed extraordinary intelligence since he was young.

As a result, when he was five years old, he fell into the water, caught a cold and died.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see the secret.

That's all I know.

For those who don’t know, there are probably countless filth and dirt in the palace that have never been shown to the public.

Therefore, Liam Zhao had to think more and constantly remind himself to tread carefully and maintain a cautious attitude.

But days like this won't last long.

According to the regulations of the Wei Dynasty, a prince can marry and be crowned king when he is fifteen years old.

He is thirteen now and has two more years.

With his current progress in cultivation, he will definitely have no problem reaching the Tongqiao realm in the next two years, not to mention becoming a congenital warrior. Maybe even faster.

By then, he will have his own fiefdom and be able to form his own team, so he will no longer worry about these dirty things.

Liam Zhao cleared his mind of all random thoughts and soon fell into a deep sleep.

The next day, it was the same as usual.

Eunuch Dylan Wang walked out of the door and shouted to Liam Zhao to get up.

Liam Zhao, who had already opened his meridians to the first level, almost responded immediately.

After getting up, he felt refreshed. The drowsy feeling he had when he got up early before disappeared, and he felt better than ever.

Remembered something.

Liam Zhao took out a stack of blue books from the bedside.

This is the classic that the Crown Prince asked Zhou Zhanshi to deliver yesterday.

He picked up one of the books and began to read aloud.

"Heaven sees as the people see, Heaven hears as the people hear..."

Dylan Wang, who was standing outside the door, was slightly startled and did not urge him anymore.

After waiting for a moment, the voice of reading inside suddenly stopped: "Dylan Wang, help me wash up."

"yes."

Eunuch Dylan Wang did not delay. He pushed the door open gently and started to work with a few young eunuchs.

Under the service of his personal eunuch, Liam Zhao repeated his daily life as a prince.

Imperial Garden and fish pond.

After dealing with state affairs, Emperor Jian'an Marcus Zhao strolled around the imperial garden with the eunuch Victor Feng.

Stopped by the fish-viewing pond.

Marcus Zhao spread out his hands, and a eunuch understood and offered him fish food.

He grabbed a handful and threw it into the fish pond, attracting countless green and red carp to scramble for it, causing splashes of water.

"How is Bi Daoshou of the Zhengyi Sect doing recently?"

Victor Feng, who was standing by, bowed humbly and said, "Your Majesty, I heard that Master Bi has reached the ninth level of martial courage and is planning to break through to the realm of creation. The elixir and precious medicine that Your Majesty requested not long ago has been fully provided."

After listening to this, Marcus Zhao lowered his head and thought, then sprinkled a handful of fish food and said, "I remember that among the elders of Zhengyi Sect, the son of Elder Lan Liangchen seems to have reached the age of marriage."

"Princess Wuyin is about the same age as my daughter, and they are a good match. I plan to arrange a marriage with Elder Lan."

"Eunuch Feng, you go to the Zhengyi Gate tomorrow and make sure this matter is done. I will also send a handwritten order to Concub!ne Xiang."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Victor Feng asked.

Marcus Zhao threw all the remaining fish food in his hand into the fish pond. He looked at the splashing water in the pond and said to himself, "It's a pity that Daoist Master Bi has never thought of finding a Taoist partner. Otherwise, if the outstanding people of the Zhao family were to marry into the Zhengyi family, the Zhao family of Wei would be more stable."

Victor Feng, who was standing aside, did not say anything else.

As the largest sect in the Wei Kingdom, Zhengyi Sect has a very profound foundation and made many contributions when the Wei Kingdom was founded.

He has always been treated as a guest of honor by the State of Wei.

He has tens of thousands of warriors under his command, which is a force that cannot be underestimated in the entire world.

However, after several hundred years, the relationship between Zhengyi Sect and the Zhao family of the Great Wei has become increasingly weak and is no longer as close as it was at the beginning.

This is not a good thing for the Great Wei.

If the Zhengyi Sect had other ideas and secretly colluded with the other five countries, the situation of the Zhao family of the Great Wei would become very passive.

Because of this, Marcus Zhao had to resort to marriage to maintain the relationship between the two parties.

"It's boring to watch the fishes fighting for food, so let's go." Marcus Zhao put his hands behind his back and left the fish-viewing pond.

As he walked, he asked, "Has anything happened to the prince recently?"

Victor Feng followed behind Marcus Zhao and said, "Yesterday in the upper study, the princes studied the teachings of Confucius and Mencius, and Sun Xueshi explained the Book of Shangshu Yaodian - [Ke Ming Junde, Cheng Jiu clan]."

"The Fourth Prince put his knowledge into practice on the spot and gave the Fifth Prince a marrow cleansing pill. Now the Hanlin Academy has a very high opinion of the Fourth Prince."

"The fourth prince is somewhat like me. He never misses any opportunity to show himself and does things properly." Marcus Zhao smiled with satisfaction: "The crown prince and the seventh prince faced the fourth prince like this, didn't they take any action?"

"Reporting to your majesty, the crown prince sent Zhou Zhanshi to the fifth prince later, bringing some great Confucian classics to persuade the fifth prince not to neglect his studies. As for the seventh prince, he has been studying hard."

"It seems that the Crown Prince is still playing it safe and doesn't want to give others an opportunity to attack him." Marcus Zhao frowned and said, "The Seventh Prince is a little young and not savvy enough. What about the Fifth Prince?"

"Yesterday, Miss Chen went there. The two had a pleasant conversation. Miss Chen did not leave until the evening of You. Before leaving, she gave the Fifth Prince a precious bow."

Marcus Zhao nodded and said, "Minister Chen is telling me that he has no intention of taking sides. After the morning court tomorrow, let Minister Chen stay alone."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Victor Feng seemed to have remembered something and hesitated to speak.

"Do you have anything to say?"

Victor Feng said: "Speaking of which, the Fifth Prince also read the classics given by the Crown Prince early this morning. He was quite diligent and it seems that he did not give up his studies because of learning martial arts."

Marcus Zhao casually said, "The Fifth Prince is usually taciturn, which is indeed not easy. Starting from next month, let's increase his monthly salary by an extra fifty taels. Also, let the eldest daughter of the Chen family come to the palace once a month to exchange martial arts with the Fifth Prince. This will let the Fifth Prince know the gap between himself and the genius, and retreat as soon as possible."

"yes."

"It's not that easy for the royal family to learn martial arts." Marcus Zhao's mind was filled with memories of his youth, and he felt dazed.

Two days later.

Liam Zhao sat cross-legged on the bed, his chest rising and falling, sometimes fast, sometimes slow, with a unique rhythm.

After a long time, he opened his eyes, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

He stared at somewhere in the void, and a look of ecstasy appeared on his face again.

In Liam Zhao's sight, the attribute panel of [God rewards hard work] changed again.

【Name: Liam Zhao】

[Practice Method: Eight Desolate Immortal Technique - Meridian Opening Level 2 (6/300)]

[Breakthrough Skills: None]

[Today’s practice time: 3 hours]

【Physical condition: good】

[Root Bonus: 1.2]

After three days of hard training, Liam Zhao's martial arts skills finally broke through to the second level of Kaimai.

The speed is incredible.

At this moment, the immortal true energy was surging like a river in the two meridians, surging with joy.

And every time he practiced it, Liam Zhao felt that his body was undergoing subtle changes and was constantly radiating vigorous vitality.

Gurgle.

At this moment, he felt a surge of hunger in his stomach.

Warriors consume a lot of energy.

Liam Zhao knew that the three meals a day as usual were not enough to replenish the body's energy.

He either had to find a way to increase his meat intake, or purchase some blood-replenishing supplements from outside.

Thinking of this, Liam Zhao felt a little embarrassed.

Most of his monthly salary consisted of silks and satins, and nine plates of food; he actually received little in the way of silver or gold or silver items.

There is only a limited amount of room to think about three meals a day.

Moreover, there are etiquette requirements for royal meals, and overeating is not allowed.

The best way is to purchase blood and qi supplements from outside.

However, Liam Zhao had never left the palace, so he didn’t know how much the blood and qi supplements outside were worth.

He doesn't have much money now.

"Your Highness, the Ministry of Internal Affairs just sent someone to inform you that you will go to collect your salary tomorrow. I wonder when you will be free to go there tomorrow?"

Outside the door, the personal eunuch Dylan Wang came and shouted loudly.
