Jiang Yuan ostensibly integrated into the big family of Leng Gong, but he really didn't put in much effort in practicing martial arts.
Although he occasionally played chess with Mr. Li, a bad chess player, he also occasionally pushed Pai Gow with Mr. Zhang and others, and sometimes went to the garden to enjoy flowers with Xiao Guizi and Xiao Liangzi.
But during this period of time, he developed several habits in front of everyone, that is, he would sleep for an hour after breakfast in the morning.
After lunch, he will take an hour's lunch break.
He will go to bed early after dinner in the evening.
In fact, there are no quiet years. He just spent all the time pretending to sleep to practice martial arts.
Because of this, he is also known as the most lazy person in the cold palace.
In fact, during the day, he practiced the Wanxiang Tongtian Fist for an hour in the morning and the Wanxiang Tongtian Fist for an hour in the afternoon. He had a full meal at night and meditated early in the morning to practice breathing techniques.
Calculating it this way, out of twelve hours a day, he spent at least seven, or even close to eight, practicing martial arts. This kind of perseverance is rarely seen in the world!
Of course, the rewards he received were naturally extremely generous.
On the twentieth day after breaking through to the eighth-level warrior, Jiang Yuan completed his third transformation and entered the realm of the seventh-level warrior.
One month after Su Hui's awakening, he achieved three consecutive jumps, leaping from a young eunuch with no martial arts foundation to a seventh-level warrior.
In this imperial court, seventh-grade warriors are nothing. Many concubines from martial arts families have the strength of third-grade warriors.
As for the sword-carrying guards guarding the imperial court, almost all of them are middle-grade third-grade warriors, and those with higher grades can even reach the realm of upper-third-grade warriors.
Even the dragon guards who guard the imperial capital and the imperial court must be seventh-grade warriors at their worst!
So although Jiang Yuan was delighted that he could achieve three consecutive jumps in one month and become a seventh-level warrior, he did not let this joy go to his head.
Even after he became a seventh-level martial artist, he still practiced martial arts assiduously. He practiced the Wanxiang Tongtian Fist whenever he had time during the day, and practiced breathing techniques instead of sleeping at night.
Although he would feel a little energetic the next day at first, he gradually got used to it as time went by.
Without practicing martial arts for one day, he felt uncomfortable all over!
Genius coupled with hard work, this is true invincibility!
It was a night of silence and another night of hard practice.
Jiang Yuan was awakened by a noisy sound outside the door. He dressed neatly, walked out of the room, and found a group of guards with swords coming from the cold palace.
"Last night the witches from the Western Regions performed a dance with the intention of assassinating His Majesty. Most of them were killed on the spot, but the leading dancer Liuli took a few people to escape."
"Your Majesty was furious and ordered the imperial court to be sealed off, hoping to arrest Liuli."
Xiao Guizi lowered his voice and said beside Jiang Yuan.
“Have everyone in Leng Palace arrived?”
A third-class guard with a rank of fifth grade said loudly.
“Eighteen people from the cold palace are on duty here, and they are all here.”
“There are also thirty-nine concubines, all of whom are in their rooms now, waiting to be searched.”
Li Ye Li Qing spoke up.
The third-class guard of the fifth grade waved his hand, and the dozen or so ordinary guards with swords who followed him dispersed and checked one by one. After checking, there was nothing abnormal.
"The palace doors have been closed these days. If you find anyone suspicious, report it immediately."
The third-class guard, who was in the fifth rank, left these words and wanted to take people away directly.
The imperial guards with swords were divided into three classes.
The first-class bodyguards are of the third grade, and are served by second-grade warriors, with the number ranging from thirty to fifty.
The second-class bodyguards are of the fourth rank, and are served by third-rank warriors, with a number of about one hundred and eighty people.
The third-class bodyguards are of the fifth rank, and are held by fourth-rank warriors, with a number of about two to three hundred people.
The rest are ordinary guards, who are served by fifth-grade warriors or sixth-grade warriors, and the number is less than a thousand.
Of course, there are some special circumstances. For example, if a guard is a relative of the emperor, is powerful and well liked by the emperor, his grade can also be upgraded to the second grade.
If a first-grade warrior is willing to serve as a guard with a sword in front of the emperor, he will be automatically promoted to a second-grade special guard. However, as long as a first-grade warrior is not smart, there is a high probability that he will not be willing to be this guard.
Even if this person is the emperor, it won’t work.
Sometimes warriors are even more arrogant than literati.
“Are you a seventh-grade warrior?”
“What’s your name?”
When this fifth-grade, third-class imperial guard with a sword passed by Jiang Yuan, he suddenly stopped, looked at Jiang Yuan, and spoke.
"Yes."
"My name is...um...Xiao Dezi."
Jiang Yuan nodded when he heard this.
"Due to the assassination incident, His Majesty ordered a thorough investigation of the imperial court warriors. Whether they are concubines, princes, princesses, or eunuchs and maids, they all need to go to the Shangwu Prison to enter their identity information. Don't hide the report."
"You should seize the time to go to Shangwu Prison in the next few days."
The fifth-grade, third-class imperial guard with a sword said calmly.
After finishing speaking, he stopped staying.
After he left, Master Li Li Qing, Master Zhang Zhang Yu, Xiao Guizi, Xiao Liangzi and others all surrounded Jiang Yuan, looking at Jiang Yuan like curious babies.
"Xiao Dezi, you are actually a seventh-level warrior?"
"Xiao Dezi, you are a seventh-level warrior, why were you beaten so badly by Concubine Shu?"
"Xiao Dezi..."
Everyone said in a hurry.
Jiang Yuan, who had always been hiding his clumsiness, felt a little dizzy when he saw this.
It is really not easy for the imperial court to keep silent all the time. A fourth-grade warrior could see his depth at a glance and even saw him shake off.
This is really not because Jiang Yuan is not strong, but because the gap between the two sides is too big.
If Jiang Yuan was also a fourth-level warrior, he would not be able to see his true strength even if he stood in front of this third-level sword-wielding guard.
But now he is only a small seventh-level warrior, and he has just made a breakthrough, and his energy and blood are as strong as the rising sun. It is difficult for others not to notice him.
A sixteen-year-old eunuch from the cold palace turned out to be a seventh-level warrior.
It is difficult to avoid attracting attention at such a speed of practice.
"Is Gou Dao destined to have no fate with me, Mr. Jiang?"
"In this case, we should consider hugging his thigh!"
Jiang Yuan thought secretly in his heart, and then started to joke with his colleagues in the cold palace.
In the afternoon, he went to the Shangwu Prison to prepare to enter the warrior information.
"Xiao Dezi, whose name is Cao De, entered the palace at the age of six, and is now sixteen years old. He is now a seventh-level warrior."
"Talent, you are a talent!"
The great eunuch in charge of inputting information saw Jiang Yuan's identity information, and his eyes lit up when he saw Jiang Yuan's identity information. However, he quickly looked through the information and immediately noticed something was wrong, so he asked:
"You are not practicing the skills from the Royal Arsenal, nor have you received any skills from the Royal Arsenal?"
"Then what skills are you practicing?"
"Where did your skills come from?"
Jiang Yuan had already prepared for this.
"Reporting to my father-in-law, I entered the palace at the age of six and stayed in the training center for six years. The red-clothed father-in-law in the training center saw my diligence, so he taught me a skill."
"I practiced according to it for seven or eight years, and finally became a seventh-level warrior."
Jiang Yuan said.
According to the memory feedback from the first sixteen years of this life, the person in charge of the eunuch training center was a fifth-grade eunuch in scarlet clothes. He applied to retire and return to his hometown in the third year after Jiang Yuan entered the palace.
Later I heard from the eunuch at the training center that he was killed by a third-level warrior on his way back to his hometown, and all the wealth he had accumulated in his life was robbed.
So Jiang Yuan pulled him out, and in the end he died without any evidence.
"Eunuch in red, could it be Eunuch Wei Zhong, Eunuch Wei?"
“This Old Wei, why are you so unruly?”
“That’s all, do you know the name of the technique he taught you?”
