Chapter 37 - Hidden Dragons in the Abyss

It was already deep into the night and Zhao Chen was already lying on the bed!

Lying here, he couldn't fall asleep! In fact, since leaving Kaifeng, this was the first time he had lain on such a soft bed, and the first time he had had such a good sleeping environment! Unfortunately, he still couldn't sleep!

So Zhao Chen sat up, he lit up the lamp, and the room started to light up!

He opened the window and looked outside. It was still pitch black outside! The ancient times were different from the modern times. In the modern times, even the most remote places in the city would have lights at night.

"It's so dark outside, just like I am now! I have always been forced to run for my life and have always been fleeing for my life. Now that I have fallen into the hands of Zhe Keqiu and Zhe Yanzhi, of course, I have willingly fallen into their hands this time! With Yue Fei's martial arts, if I had wanted to leave that time, I would have been able to! Now that I'm surrounded by darkness, I really want someone to light a lamp for me and illuminate the road ahead! "

"The teacher said that we have to endure. When the time is right and we have enough power, I will seize the upper hand. Only after that will we be able to restore China and the Song Dynasty …" Actually, Teacher's words are just a lamp, Teacher has already illuminated the road ahead for me! Before that, I want to live a good life, a good life! "

"Zhe Keqiu, Zhe Yanzhi, when will I be able to see them?"

"I really miss my life before I transmigrated. Although I had lessons every day and studied every day, I was never worried!"

"Teacher has already shown me the way … I still want to use my dreams, confidence, courage to light an indestructible lamp for myself, so that I can fearlessly and bravely live on! In this chaotic world, I want to live well. I want to realize my dream and restore China! "

For a moment, Zhao Chen thought of countless things! He was still a ten-year old youth. His face was sometimes confused, sometimes sad, and sometimes filled with excitement!

"Let the tempest come strike harder!" I want to be a swallow fighting in the storm, to overcome all the difficulties, and to trample all the enemies beneath my feet! " After a long while, Zhao Chen suddenly clenched his fists and said to himself.

He took out a piece of paper and placed it on the table. Then, he took out the ink, the inkstone, and began to slowly grind the ink, gradually calming his mind.

After a long while, he took out a pen and slowly wrote four big words on the paper — Hidden Dragon in the Abyss!

A gentleman should act when the time is right and be good at preserving himself! When the time was ripe, he would use all his strength to defeat the enemy! This was the Hidden Dragon in the Abyss!

By the time he woke up in the morning, the ink, ink, and brush had already been collected by him, and that piece of paper had already been torn to shreds!

Although they were being placed under house arrest by the father and son Zhe Keqiu and Zhe Yanzhi, the father and son of the Zhexiu did not mistreat them. Their breakfast in the morning was extremely sumptuous, almost comparable to the meal they ate in the imperial palace! Unfortunately, none of them had any intention of enjoying delicious food. They had just finished eating in a hurry and then gathered together again!

"Teacher, are we going to wait in this courtyard?" "Tell me, when do you think we will be able to meet the father and son of the Zhexiu clan?" Zhao Chen said.

"I don't know …" It should be soon! Crown Prince, don't be in such a hurry! " Li Gang nodded.

"I'm not in a hurry, I just don't know what to do right now! Staying in this small courtyard is really boring! " Zhao Chen laughed bitterly.

"Your Highness will learn from me in the morning and Yue Fei will follow me in the afternoon to train. Li Gang said.

"Alright!" Zhao Chen nodded.

That morning, in the small courtyard of the house of house arrest, Zhao Chen started to learn lessons with Li Gang. This time, Li Gang was no longer talking about the Monarch's Heart Technique, nor was he talking about the Confucianism. What Li Gang was talking about were some of the geography of the Great Song Dynasty, as well as some important figures! If he wanted to rule the world in the future, this knowledge was a must, and he had to teach those important figures to Zhao Chen!

Li Gang secretly swore to nurture the Crown Prince into an unprecedented Monarch, so he taught him with utmost care! And for Zhao Chen, who had great aspirations, he would naturally listen attentively to the lecture!

He knew very little about the geography of ancient times. When he first arrived in this era, he was not even clear about the 'three northern towns', but now he had a certain understanding of the important cities and mountain passes in the Northern Song Dynasty! In the process of explaining geography, Li Gang had to inevitably bring up some of the cities, the battles that happened in the pass, including the strategies of the generals, so Zhao Chen had also learned a bit about military strategy!

"Since the creation of the Confucianism by Cheng Feng and Cheng Yi, it has become the mainstream of Confucianism! The world is famous for the prevalence of science! The most famous Master of Science in the world today is Mr. Yang Shi, he is Cheng Feng's disciple, and after Cheng Feng's death, he followed Cheng Yi to study, and after Cheng Yi's death, he studied for 20 years at Yi Chuan Academy, his name resounding throughout the world! During the reign of the Emperor and the Emperor, they both sent people to invite Mr. Yang Shi. However, Mr. Yang Shi did not come out to be an official! He was not in love with the position of power, so his reputation was even greater! If His Highness is able to inherit the throne in the future, it would be great if you can recruit Mr. Yang Shi! " Li Gang said.

"Yang Shi... I'm afraid he can't even compare to teacher! " Zhao Chen shook his head.

He was not just spouting nonsense, he was also not praising Li Gang! From his point of view, as an academic, he definitely had the knowledge. However, his ability to handle matters was not necessarily high! It had to be known that Li Gang was the number one general of the Southern Crossing. Other than the other three members of the Southern Song's Zhongxing Four Clans, the rest were far inferior to him! Along the way, he had already seen too much of Li Gang's intelligence and insight!

"Mr. Yang Shi is very famous, your majesty can't say that!" Li Gang said.

"Alright, let's not talk about him! Teacher, have you heard of Zhao Ding, Li Guang, and Hu Quan? " Zhao Chen said.

"Zhao Ding was previously appointed as the Luoyang, it is said that he is capable in handling political affairs! Li Guang as the censor, was rather righteous! As for Hu Quan, this old subject has never heard of him. " Li Gang thought about it and said.

, Zhao Ding, and Li Guang were the older of the four of them, but Hu Quan was only around twenty years old. He was still young and had never served as a central official, so Li Gang naturally did not know about this person!

"Father once said in the past that these three people were capable and could be relied on! It's just that before royal father had the time to promote these three people, he had already been captured by the Jin Army! " Zhao Chen sighed.

It was difficult for him to explain how he knew these few names, so he could only attribute these names to the Song Chin Zong.

"Since Your Majesty said they have talents, then they must have talents! I will help His Highness keep an eye on the three of them, and if you discover their whereabouts, you will try your best to recruit them! " Li Gang said.

"Alright!" Zhao Chen smiled and nodded.

In the afternoon, Zhao Chen would train with Yue Fei, Wang Gui and Zhang Xian in the small courtyard!

He was originally training with Wang De, but now the three were giving him pointers! Amongst the three of them, Yue Fei's martial arts far surpassed Wang De's. As the main generals of the Yue Clan's army, Wang Gui and Zhang Xian were well-known figures in their history, and the martial arts of the two were not inferior to Wang De's!

Under the guidance of these three people, Zhao Chen's martial arts naturally would not fall!

He was still practicing the military's sword techniques and had not learnt the royal family's secret Grand Righteous Sword Style! Yue Fei praised Zhao Chen when he saw that his skills were already well-established!

Only after training for four whole hours did Zhao Chen stop and laughed: "Big Brother Yue, what realm have you reached with your martial arts? You might show me? "

Yue Fei nodded, he did not say a word, and suddenly thrusted his spear at Zhao Chen!

The distance between the spear and Zhao Chen was still very far, but Zhao Chen felt his breathing become sluggish, the surrounding air did not seem to exist, and the surrounding environment also seemed to change! It was as if he was no longer in the yard, but on the battlefield with mountains of corpses and seas of blood! His killing intent soared to the heavens. This surging killing intent nearly made him faint!

He felt as if a very long time had passed, but only a moment had passed. He suddenly recovered and asked, "What spear technique is this?"

"This is the spear technique created by my second brother. There is no name for it!" His second brother had even created a set of fist techniques that had no name, but possessed unparalleled power! That day outside Xiangzhou City, brother used this unrivaled fist technique to instantly subdue Zhang Jun! " Wang Gui laughed.

Two names suddenly surfaced in Zhao Chen's mind — "Yue Clan Punch", "Yue Clan Gun"!
