Chapter 15 We in the Zhou family dare to say it, but do they dare to believe it?

"Breakthrough?"

After Zhou Tieyi usurped the divine seed, it was natural for him to open up his Qi Hai Dantian, so when Gongshu Sheng and Zhou's mother arrived at the training ground, Zhou Tieyi had already gone to wash his body.

"you sure?"

Zhou's mother stared at A Da. It was not that she did not trust this personal bodyguard who had grown up with her son, but this matter was too serious, so serious that she needed time to digest it.

Nine days, no, the real martial arts training is six days, six days to open up the Dantian Qi sea!
Gongshu Sheng was also stunned for a moment, and suddenly he said to himself, "Who was the fastest in opening up the Dantian Qi Sea before?"

"If I remember correctly, it was our dynasty's champion, Xiao Yuanshan, who took seventeen days."

At this point, even though he was wearing a mask, the ecstasy in Gongshu Sheng's eyes was clearly revealed.

A Da also realized the seriousness of the matter. This is not only a good thing, but also a big thing, especially at a critical juncture when the future generation is about to take power.

He was sweating coldly, looking at Zhou's mother, he gritted his teeth and said, "The brothers who saw the young master's breakthrough are all here, there are no outsiders."

Since the breakthrough took place in the military camp within Zhou's residence, it was feasible to conceal the news, but it would come at a price.

Gongshu Sheng looked at Zhou's mother leisurely.

Mother Zhou regained her usual calm demeanor and said to the anxious soldiers around her, "You have done our Zhou family justice, and we will certainly not do you any shame."

After hearing Zhou's mother's assurance, the soldiers' anxious hearts calmed down a lot. Ah Da immediately clasped his fists and said, "We dare not not fight to the death!"

Zhou's mother was still worried about her son, so she said, "Manager Gongshu, you take care of things here. I'll go check on Tieyi."

The soldiers looked at Gongshu Sheng. Even though their lives would be safe with Zhou's mother's guarantee, they would not be able to come into contact with outsiders for the rest of their lives.

Gongshu Sheng smiled and said, "Don't worry, everything will remain the same."

Then he said to his trusted followers, "Go to the gatehouse and send the invitations to the military heroes who are on good terms with the Zhou family. Oh, and remember to send one to the Zhao family, the relatives of Qinglong City."

"What does the invitation say?"

"I will write it in the name of the Second Young Master. He has practiced martial arts for nine days and has opened up his Qi Sea and Dantian. I would like to congratulate you."

"what?"

The confidant didn't react for a moment. Shouldn't this matter be kept strictly confidential?
Gongshu Sheng said confidently, "We in the Zhou Palace dare to write this, but do they dare to believe it?"

Then he looked at the dozens of soldiers in front of him and said, "You and I are on leave today. When you go back, tell your families what happened here. Tell them what you saw. The more detailed and truthful the better."

……

Zhao Mansion in Qinglong City.

"Have the Zhou family gone mad? Who would believe such a ridiculous reason? That barbarian Zhou Zhong was incredibly strong when he was at Linshui Pavilion. Since he couldn't learn literature, he must have been secretly practicing martial arts for a long time and kept it a secret."

Zhao Taisui was called by his father and blurted out when he saw the invitation.

The invitation from the second young master of the Zhou family was sent to the Zhao Mansion. Naturally, the Zhao Mansion would not send an elder to congratulate him. At most, they would let Zhao Fuer, who was of the same generation, go.

Zhao Taisui's father, Zhao Guanshan, is the younger brother of the present generation. However, compared to the arrogance of other members of the Zhao family, Zhao Guanshan is quite steady. He has been studying Confucian classics since he was young, and he passed the imperial examination with second place and became a disciple of the great Confucian Wang Menglong.

Zhao Guanshan, who was over 40 years old and wearing a green square scarf, tapped the invitation in front of him and said, "No matter whether the Zhou family is crazy or not, you just have to go to the banquet."

"I won't go!" Zhao Taisui shook his head firmly.

Zhao Guanshan looked at the monk Shenxiu who was standing beside Zhao Taisui.

Monk Shenxiu smiled and said, "You can go there."

"Why go there? To get bullied?"

Zhao Taisui retorted that if he got angry, he could really disobey his father's orders.

Shenxiu gave a reason that Zhao Taisui could not refuse, "Didn't we make an appointment to gamble before? This time we can just go and issue the challenge." Yuchi Mansion in Baihu City.

Yuchi Pojun was the first-class right general of Daxia and also the leader of military honors, so naturally he also received an invitation from the Zhou family.

Having already broken through to the third rank, the eighty-year-old Yuchi Pojun no longer leads troops outside, but enjoys the blessing of having many children and grandchildren in his mansion.

Originally, an invitation of this level from the second son of the Zhou family would not reach Yuchi Pojun's hands, but because the content was too surprising, Yuchi Changfeng still handed the invitation to his father Yuchi Pojun.

"Hahaha, this is interesting. There hasn't been such a lively event in Tianjin for a long time!"

Yuchi Pojun slapped his thigh and laughed.

His hair and beard were jet-black, like a lion in its prime, with a wide nose and a tight skin.

After reaching the sixth level of martial arts cultivation, one's qi and blood will undergo another transformation. Unless one is seriously injured or is about to die, one will maintain the best physical condition until death.

"What do you think?"

After laughing, Yuchi Pojun looked at his eldest son.

Yuchi Changfeng practices Confucianism, so he looks older than his father. After careful consideration, he said, "The Zhou family wants to create momentum and create a 'natural talent' as a bargaining chip for marriage, win over our military merits, and fight against the Queen Zhao family."

"Isn't this a bit too fake?" asked Yuchi Jing, the third son of Yuchi Changfeng.

"The Zhou family just needs a reason to contact Wu Xun. Who would really care about the reason itself? Especially when did they start practicing martial arts? This is something that is difficult to investigate."

Yuchi Pojun nodded with satisfaction, and then said to his grandson Yuchi Jing, "You go to the banquet, and then go to the storehouse to get a drop of Qilin's blood as a gift."

The Qilin blood that Yuchi Pojun mentioned was not the blood of a Qilin-like beast, but the blood of a real third-grade Qilin.

Back then, Yuchi Pojun killed a Qilin who wanted to be deified, but he only got nine drops of its blood.

Yuchi Jing moved his lips, but in the end he did not dare to refute Yuchi Pojun's decision, because Yuchi Pojun was the head of the Yuchi family.

Seeing his grandson like this, Yuchi Pojun angrily scolded, "If you have something to say, say it. The Yuchi family will still rely on you in the future. Don't pretend to know what you don't know now!"

Yuchi Jing quickly said, "Isn't it too precious?"

If the kid from the Zhou family really opened his Qi Sea in nine days, it would be fine for him to send a drop of essence and blood, but this is obviously fake!

Yuchi Pojun looked at his son Yuchi Changfeng.

Yuchi Changfeng understood that his father was testing him, and said, "Father wants to make the fake play real."

As long as Zhou Tieyi's talent is not too stupid, a drop of Qilin's blood essence is enough to turn a mediocre person into a true genius!
Yuchi Pojun nodded with satisfaction, "Your years of studying have not been in vain."

Then he began to teach his grandson a lesson, "The Zhou family wants a genius to win us over and fight against the in-laws, so we will give them a genius. Don't say we didn't help them then!"

Yuchi Changfeng's eyes lit up. In the current situation in the court and the country, the Zhou family has been the first to bear the brunt. As a family of military honors, especially the leader of the family, the Yuchi family certainly cannot sit idly by and watch their younger brother being bullied by their in-laws. However, if they directly confront the Zhao family, it will benefit the Zhou family and the price they pay will be even greater.

"Besides, this drop of blood essence is not given for nothing. Let's consider it as a gift to Zhou Qinlong for his promotion to the third rank."

Yuchi Pojun showed a smile like an old fox. One gift, two favors. This is worth it!
Yuchi Changfeng's expression became serious, "Father, is this confirmed?"

Although Zhou Qinlong has the possibility of being promoted to the third rank, no one can be sure if there are any variables before he actually succeeds.

Yuchi Pojun stroked his beard and said, "I'm not sure."

"So you just said it was a gift for General Hu Wei..."

Yuchi Jing was confused by his grandfather.

"Stupid, I'm not sure, but I know that His Majesty promoted Zhou Tiege to be the deputy commander of the Imperial Guards!"

Yuchi Pojun bowed to the sky and said, "Your Majesty is wise and never does business at a loss!"
