Heaven rewards those who work hard: There is no bottleneck in my martial arts

Chapter 32 Cut off with a single knife, the eldest lady became disabled
In the twinkling of an eye, it was already the twenty-first day of the twelfth lunar month, and the sky in Daliang was groggy, without a single ray of light.

The scene in broad daylight is like evening.

A little bit of Xueer fell from the sky, landed on the ground and quickly disappeared without a trace.

Gradually, the fluffy snow that looked like broken jade and chaotic jade turned into heavy snow like goose feathers, sprinkled over Daliang City.

The southwestern part of Daliang is close to the imperial palace, and there are row upon row of magnificent courtyards on it.

This is the "Noble Street" in the mouth of the people in Daliang.

Many dignitaries and relatives of the emperor have bought real estate here and settled down here.

The Huo Mansion is also among them.

At this time, with the heavy snowfall, the pavilions, terraces and buildings in Huo's mansion have been covered with a thin layer of snow.

Huo Xianshui, the daughter of the Huo family, became interested and took a few maids to her courtyard to enjoy the snow.

The servants held umbrellas and warmed a pot of wine behind them.

Huo Xianshui, who was wearing a purple cotton dress, picked up a jade-like porcelain cup and took a sip.

Afterwards, I felt a burst of warmth all over my body, and I was extremely comfortable and enjoying in this ice and snow field.

Huo Xianshui looks weak and watery on the outside, with a pair of apricot eyes that are quite agile, but under the influence of the family, he is now an eighth-rank martial arts master.

His talent is not as good as that of Chen Xuerong who is also in Daliang, but compared with other high-ranking officials' children, he is already very talented.

Not long after she came to Daliang, many young talents came to visit her.

As long as these people guessed a little, they knew that they were greedy for her family's power, so she didn't have any intention of making friends, but she declined them one by one.

"Miss, the people in the palace have replied about the fifth prince's information."

"Oh, read and listen."

Huo Xianshui has already heard that the empress wanted to marry her to His Highness the Fifth Highness.

At present, their Huo family is a courtier under the rule of the Zhao family of the Great Wei, and accepts Zhao's wish stone salary, so when it comes to the royal family, she can no longer refuse casually, she must understand clearly first.

"The fifth prince, Zhao Hongming, is currently thirteen years old and lives in the Fifth East School. After the death of Concubine Shu, he nominally took care of the empress, but actually lived alone all the time."

"In the palace school, there is no outstanding performance, and the scholars have a bad impression of the fifth prince."

"Also, it seems that His Majesty and Empress have not summoned him for a long time. He is a prince who has fallen out of favor."

The maid standing on one side carefully read the contents of the letter paper.

After listening to the fifth prince Zhao Hongming's information, Huo Xianshui frowned.

Although she is not a member of the royal family, and she doesn't know much about some dogs and dogs in the palace, she still has some basic judgments.

Knowing that as the prince of Wei, if he cannot practice martial arts, the key point is to have the ability to organize and coordinate various resources. As for whether he is favored or not, it is not the decisive factor.

"What about your personality?"

"I heard that the Fifth Prince's character is good at forbearance, and he is a little withdrawn. Since he didn't have a mother and concubine since he was a child, he is more submissive, talks less with others, and doesn't make friends."

"A few months ago, he suddenly wanted to practice martial arts. Now every afternoon, he doesn't study Gong Xue, and he stays in his room not knowing what he is doing."

Huo Xianshui was lost in thought.

Judging from the information, the fifth prince not only lost his favor, but also had a tendency to give up on himself.

She doesn't like such a person at all.

So why did the queen empress recommend such a prince to her?
Huo Xianshui couldn't help thinking about it.

Undoubtedly, Mrs. Zhao wanted to show their friendship to the Huo family, otherwise she would not have introduced a prince to her.

But to push a prince whom she must despise, are you waiting for her to refuse?

The maid at the side said: "Miss, do you think that the empress has other deep meanings in arranging such a prince?"

"Did you find something?"

"Miss, as far as I know, if those low-status men outside meet a good woman, they know that the other party doesn't like them, and they will repeatedly use their hot faces to stick their cold butts without dignity and bottom line, and keep stalking them."

"The fifth prince has no power or influence since he was a child. If he had the opportunity to get involved with our Huo family, would he still stalk the young lady like this?"

Huo Xianshui said: "This possibility cannot be ruled out, Qin'er, I heard that Miss Chen's family often contacts the fifth prince, what does she think of the fifth prince?"

Another maid said: "My servant went to the Chen Mansion to inquire about it. Ms. Chen spoke highly of the Fifth Prince. She said that he is young and mature, and he is skilled under the imperial court. Not only that, but also said that he has an outstanding appearance and treats people very well."

"How can there be such a big difference in evaluation?"

There is too little information in hand, she has not figured out the specific intention of the Empress Empress, so she can only respond first.

Ask your father later, maybe your father can see through the queen's intentions.

"Little Tao, is the empress announcing that I will enter the palace tomorrow?"

"Yes, miss."

"Remember to prepare a generous gift for me, and prepare one for the empress and the fifth prince."

"Miss, what are you?"

"If the fifth prince is pleasing to the eye, I might as well get along with him and give him some charity." Huo Xianshui smiled contemptuously: "As for the future, we will talk about it later."

It depends on how the other party chooses.

If you don't know the taste, it doesn't matter if you throw it away like a shoe.

"Let's go, Xue is also bored watching it, it's better to go back."

"Yes, Miss."

Huo Xianshui stood up and planned to go back to the house.

Suddenly she stood upside down with chills all over her body, and raised her head suddenly.

"Who?!"

At this moment, a sharp saber aura erupted from the shadows, as if it appeared out of thin air, and came directly towards her.

Its angles are extremely tricky, and it is incredibly fast.

Huo Xianshui's eyes moved slightly, catching the trajectory of the knife.

She grabbed one of the maids beside her with one hand and blocked her in front of her.

"what!"

With a scream, the maid standing in front of her was cut in half.

Taking advantage of the stagnation, Huo Xianshui took advantage of the situation and took off.

However, before jumping too far, the next knife followed closely, chopped on her calf, and cut off her two calves.

"what!!!"

Blood splattered everywhere.

Huo Xianshui fell hard to the ground, a human-shaped pothole was pressed out of the snow, and all the white snow was dyed red.

She appeared terrified and shouted for help.

But she hadn't finished shouting yet.

The black shadow in front of him disappeared into the small courtyard, giving Huo Xianshui the luck of remaining alive.

The snow in Daliang is still falling, and there is no sign of stopping.

On such a stormy day, most people would not choose to go out.

Otherwise, if they contract the wind and cold, with the medical conditions of ordinary people in Dawei today, their lives are likely to be in danger.

Even a martial artist with a relatively strong body has strong qi and blood, and is less likely to get sick than ordinary people.

But in winter, the weather is freezing cold, they would rather stay at home all day, practice martial arts and walk birds, than go out to blow the cold wind and play.

At this time, in the empty streets and alleys, a figure continued to shuttle through the streets, stepping on the snow without a trace.

Slowly, the figure stopped in a hidden alley.

His whole body was wrapped tightly in black clothes.

The figure was none other than Fifth Prince Zhao Hongming. Seeing that there was no one around, he took off his black coat and burned it.

He thought very simple about the queen's conspiracy.

Since there is a problem, it is enough to solve the root cause of the problem.

Miss Huo's legs were all broken and she became disabled.

Presumably the queen will not try to match him with him again in the near future, just to make fun of herself.

As for all the strategies of Emperor Jian'an, what does that have to do with him?
He is just an unknown and unfavored prince, and it is not his turn to intervene in the court.
