Chapter 3 - Wang Yaksha

However, how could escaping from Kaifeng be easy?

If it was an ordinary civilian, they could leave Kaifeng as long as they stepped out of the city gates! If it was a minister, he could just think of a way to move his official away from Kaifeng. If it really didn't work out, he could just resign and leave Kaifeng! But as the Crown Prince, and even more so, it was a young Crown Prince who was only ten years old. The Song Chin Zong would never tolerate a 10 year old crown prince leaving the Kaifeng City, and the ministers in the court would never tolerate a young crown prince leaving the capital! At this moment, countless imperial guards, eunuchs and palace maids were by his side at all times. It was impossible for him to secretly flee!

In the blink of an eye, the 15th of April arrived. The weather grew increasingly warm. Song Chin Zong allowed Zhao Chen to continue learning since he had already recovered his memories. It was just that last time Li Ruoshui had taught the crown prince many "inappropriate" things, causing the crown prince to say some absurd things. Thus, this time, the master of the crown prince had made an exceptionally cautious decision. In such a short time, Song Chin Zong had not yet thought of a good candidate! So the Song Chin Zong ordered for the Crown Prince to learn martial arts for the time being!

"Practice martial arts?" Hearing this decree, Zhao Chen was startled.

Regarding "martial arts", Zhao Chen was naturally familiar with it! When he was still a senior in high school, he had read quite a few martial arts novels. In the novels, those wulin master who flew from the roof to the walls and flew to pick leaves were like gods! But Zhao Chen knew that those were just novels, true martial arts were not that powerful! In the park, it was common to see old grandpas and grandpas practicing Taiji Fist. Those soft boxing techniques that were like gymnastics and had almost no effect were the real martial arts!

In his mind, martial arts were only used to strengthen the body and strengthen the body!

"Practicing martial arts is also good! I, Prince Jingkang, have been pampered since I was young and my body is weak. Zhao Chen thought about it and said.

"Your Highness, Master Wang is waiting for you at scenic garden!" The middle-aged eunuch who came to read the imperial edict said.

The scenic garden was a garden of the palace, and very few people went there. There were a few guards who practiced martial arts there occasionally, Zhao Chen had heard of this place before.

"Lord Wang? Which Lord Wang? " Zhao Chen said.

"Lord Wang De, he is the Commander in front, the Second Lieutenant Si Yu Long, the number one martial artist in the Imperial Guards! People are called King Yaksha! " The middle-aged eunuch said.

"Wang De? Wang Yaksha? " Zhao Chen shook his head lightly. He had never heard of this person before.

As for the nickname "Wang Yigao", it was rather interesting.

Even though Zhao Chen had studied the Song Dynasty's history and knew about many of the people in Jing Kang's era, especially the most famous among them, Yue Fei and the others, he did not have any impression of this Wang De.

What he did not know was that this Wang De was also a famous general in history! During the Jingkang era, the Jin Army invaded and the Northern Song was destroyed. Zhao Gou succeeded the throne in Jiangnan, which was called Southern Song. In the early days of the Southern Song Dynasty, there were four generals who were outstanding in military achievements. They were called "The Four Great Generals of the Southern Song Dynasty" by their descendants, and were respectively Yue Fei, Han Shizhong, Zhang Jun, Zhang Jun and Liu Guangshi. Among them, Yue Fei was a famous intelligent general, a fierce general.

Wang De was known as the "Enemy of All", his martial arts was exceptionally strong! In the last year of the Northern Song Dynasty, when the Jin Army invaded for the first time, Wang De led 16 cavalrymen to the Longde Estate to punish them and capture the Nvzhen's appointed Grand Preceptor Yao alive. Ten thousand people of the Jin Army stopped them, and all 16 cavalrymen of Wang De's army died in battle. Wang De rushed out of the Jin Army and killed hundreds of the Jin Army with his bare hands. Grand Preceptor Yao was escorted away to the imperial court. When the Song Chin Zong asked about his situation, Grand Preceptor Yao said, "When I was captured, I only saw a yaksha."

At this time, Wang De was the number one expert among the Imperial Guards. Within the several hundred thousand Imperial Guards, no one could block ten moves from Wang De! It was because of his exceptional martial arts that he was qualified to teach the Crown Prince martial arts!

The scenic garden was located in the northeast direction of the Imperial Palace, just two Li away from the Eastern Palace, but by the time Zhao Chen arrived in front of the scenic garden, he was already panting heavily.

His body was currently too weak, causing Zhao Chen to shake his head! It seemed that the Crown Prince Jing Kang had never experienced much training since he was young!

The scenery of the scenic garden was beautiful. Because the crown prince was coming, the security of this place was especially tight today. Countless guards and eunuchs could be seen around the scenic garden! They stood everywhere, afraid that something might go wrong here!

Zhao Chen and the middle-aged eunuch walked forward and arrived at the center of the scenic garden. There was an open space here, and a tall and big young man was standing there! This youth wore a green robe, and he stood there like a pine tree, abnormally straight!

The young man's eyes were extremely bright, and when he swept his eyes over, Zhao Chen actually felt a chill in his heart, as though he was being watched by a ferocious beast! For a moment, he actually felt that it was difficult to move, and he couldn't help but stop.

At that moment, the youth had already knelt down respectfully and said, "This general pays his respect to Your Highness!"

"Quickly, get up!" Zhao Chen suppressed the shock in his heart and said.

The young man stood up, and Zhao Chen started to size him up. He realized that the young man's eyes were clear and that he had a short beard. His entire being gave off a sense of power, ruggedness, and integrity!

"You are General Wang De?" Zhao Chen said.

"That's me!" Wang De said.

"Father wants me to practice martial arts with you. From now on, you are my teacher, so please be careful and teach me!" Zhao Chen said.

"Of course, I will teach all my abilities to His Highness the Crown Prince!" Wang De laughed.

The middle-aged eunuch at the side frowned when he heard this. The emperor had allowed the crown prince to practice kung fu just to find something for the crown prince to do so that the crown prince would not be 'talking nonsense' again! The Emperor did not want the Crown Prince to become a 'wulin master'! As the crown prince of a country, he had countless people protecting him. Why would he become an expert? Why would Wang De need to pass all his abilities to the Crown Prince?

He thought to himself, this Wang De is indeed a boorish person, he doesn't even understand this principle! The Crown Prince doesn't need your ability!

"Crown Prince, I need to check your body first!" Wang De said again.

"Alright!" Zhao Chen nodded.

Zhao Chen thought that learning martial arts naturally depended on the condition of one's body. With such a good physique, what he learned was naturally the same as Shaolin Fist! If the body was weak, then he would have to learn some soft fist techniques, just like Taiji Fist! Wang De wanted to check his body and impart martial arts skills to him based on his body condition. This was also normal.

Wang De immediately walked in front of Zhao Chen and fiercely grabbed onto his shoulder. Zhao Chen suddenly felt a warm current entering into his body. His body stiffened. He wanted to speak, but no words would come out of his mouth.

After an unknown period of time, Zhao Chen had finally returned to normal. He saw that Wang De was already standing three meters away, with his brows knitted tightly.

"General Wang, is there a problem?" Zhao Chen asked doubtfully.

"Your Highness, have you never practiced inner force before?" Wang De said.

"Inner force?" "Ahhh!" Zhao Chen was startled, wasn't this something that only existed in martial arts novels? He immediately shook his head!

"I heard that the secret Emperor's Heavenly Arts in the Great Inner Sect was created by Emperor Taizu. It is the world's first class fierce mental cultivation method, peerless in its tyranny! Only members of the royal family can train in Emperor's Heavenly Arts, I originally thought that the crown prince once trained in Emperor's Heavenly Arts, but now it seems that it is different! " Wang De said.

"Emperor's Heavenly Arts?" Ever since he came to this era, Zhao Chen once again felt his mind in chaos! Inner force? Emperor's Heavenly Arts? What and what?

Just at this time, the middle-aged eunuch who had been standing at the side spoke, and said in a sharp voice: "Your majesty has said, if the crown prince is willing, you can practice Emperor's Heavenly Arts, Grand Righteous Sword Style! I have already brought the Emperor's Heavenly Arts and the Grand Righteous Sword Style Secret Manual, do you want to watch the General Wang? "

"No need, only the disciples of the royal family can practice the techniques created by Emperor Taizu! As an official, I would never dare to watch it! " Wang De anxiously said.

"At least you know the rules!" The middle-aged eunuch laughed coldly.

For the entire day, Zhao Chen felt as if he was in a dream! Wang De explained to Zhao Chen the ways of martial arts. Martial arts were divided into inner force and outer force. During this period of time, Wang De could not help but signal with his hand, and with a slap, a huge boulder was smashed into pieces! He arrived at the top of the tree in one move. The branch was soft and gentle, yet Wang De was actually able to stand on top of it, and float along with the wind. Zhao Chen's face was filled with astonishment...

"There are actually martial arts in this world, to be able to fly over a wall is not a legend!" Oh my god, could it be that the famous generals of the ancient times are all wulin master? " The sun had gradually set, and Zhao Chen had finally recovered a little bit of his normal state.
