Chapter 205: Grandfather is still as powerful as ever
"Is grandma doing well these days?"
"It's fine! Don't worry about it."
"As long as grandma is well, Yoona will feel at ease."
Xiao Yun chatted with the old lady in the front hall of the main courtyard. After a cup of tea, he asked, "Why don't you see grandpa and uncle?"
The old lady had already noticed his absent-mindedness, so she joked to her eldest daughter-in-law beside her: "Look, look, you can't sit still so soon."
It was not easy for her grandson to stay here with her for a cup of tea, so she could only let him go. "It's a day off today. Your grandfather and uncle are testing the martial arts of the brothers in the martial arts training ground. You can go now! I don't want you to stay here to talk with me, an old lady."
"Grandma, you're not old at all." Xiao Yun was rarely naughty, and stood up and bowed to the old lady, "Then Yun'er will leave."
"Go ahead, go ahead. Stay for dinner later. Grandma will ask the kitchen to prepare something you like."
"Thank you, Grandma!"
Watching his back as he walked away, the eldest lady said, "Mother, I can see that His Royal Highness Prince Rui has become much more cheerful since he came back this time."
"Who said it wasn't? He can even tell jokes now." The old lady smiled with satisfaction, "Tell the kitchen to make more of Yuner's favorite dishes. This child hasn't eaten at home for a long time."
"Yes, my wife saved it."
Xiao Yun brought Chu Yi to the martial arts training ground of the Duke's Mansion with ease.
At this time in the martial arts training ground, the old Duke was brandishing his spear with great force, and a younger generation was being beaten mercilessly by him, forced to retreat step by step, and the situation was one-sided.
The unlucky young man who was being beaten was Chu Fang. This duel ended with the old Duke knocking Chu Fang to the ground with a sudden attack, and Xiao Yun couldn't help but applaud.
"Wonderful, so wonderful, my grandfather is still as good as ever!" The title of Duke of Zhenguo is indeed not for nothing.
Everyone's attention was focused on the martial arts training ground, and it was not until Xiao Yun spoke that they noticed his arrival, "Your Highness is here."
Chu Fang got up from the ground, dragged his bones that were about to fall apart, and limped off the field, muttering to himself: I got beaten, and you were happy to see it.
When Xiao Yun got closer, he realized that among the younger generations present, except for his eldest cousin Chu Zheng who looked relatively normal, the rest of the cousins were all suffering from deep hatred and were either rubbing their arms or legs. He immediately laughed even harder.
After all, he had been beaten in the past, and these guys had been secretly happy when he was being beaten. Now that they were being beaten, he naturally had to reciprocate.
However, the next moment, his smile froze on his face.
"Xiao Fang, give your spear to His Highness." The old marquis leaned on the spear and stood in the middle of the martial arts training ground like a tall pine tree. "Let me see if Your Highness's skills have fallen behind."
When Chu Fang heard this, he suddenly felt that the pain in his bones was not so severe. He threw the spear towards Xiao Yun through the air, "Cousin, take the spear." He held back his laughter and gave him a look that told him to wish him good luck.
Xiao Yun took the spear and drew a beautiful line of gunfire. Facing the gloating looks of his cousins, he had no choice but to go ahead.
He took off his outer robe and handed it to Chu Yi, then he jumped to the center of the martial arts training ground with his spear in hand, clasped his fists and saluted, "Then Yuner will come and learn from me. Grandfather, please go easy on me!"
The gun is the king of all weapons. The descendants of the Chu family may not be able to use any other weapons, but they must be able to use the gun.
Xiao Yun had been personally trained by the old Duke since he was young. He wielded a spear very smoothly and majestically. Even though he used a sword most of the time, he never neglected practicing his spear skills, and he was able to fight back and forth with the old Duke.
Chu Fang and his brothers were secretly waiting for Xiao Yun to get beaten so that they could laugh back at him. However, until the end, the two people in the middle of the field only stopped at the right time.
They suddenly felt unbalanced. Why? When they went up, Grandfather beat them to death. But when Xiao Yun went up, Grandfather just stopped at the right time. What a difference in treatment.
"Hahaha, what a relief!" The old Duke laughed heartily, "Your Highness really did not disappoint me."
"I still have to thank Grandpa for showing mercy and saving face for Yoona."
Xiao Yun didn't know how long it had been since he had wielded a spear so vigorously. Today's fight was extremely enjoyable. All his muscles and bones were stretched out, and he felt refreshed.
"That's all for today!"
The old Duke threw the spear into the air seemingly casually, and it landed accurately on the weapon rack, which amazed the younger generations.
Xiao Yun couldn't help laughing, but he didn't follow suit. He handed the weapon to the servant and asked him to put it back in its place.
After the old Duke announced the disbandment, the people from each room took their leave one after another and returned to their own courtyards to wash and change clothes.
After Xiao Yun changed his clothes in the guest room, he went directly to the study in the main courtyard. The old duke had not arrived yet, but the master of the main house and the brothers Chu Zheng and Chu Fang were already waiting in the study.
Seeing him coming, out of courtesy, several people stood up to greet him, "Your Highness."
"Uncle, cousins, there's no need to be polite in our own home." Xiao Yun asked them not to be polite and sat down on the main seat at the side of the table.
"Cousin, I didn't know you were such a good marksman." After washing off his fatigue and changing his clothes, Chu Fang came out lively again and sat next to Xiao Yun without any respect.
Seeing that he no longer had the bitter and resentful look he had before, Xiao Yun couldn't help but sigh in his heart: Children of generals are really tough.
His elder brother Chu Zheng laughed at him, "How dare you say that? My cousin practiced diligently every day to master such good marksmanship. Unlike you, you only started to cram when you found out that grandfather was going to test you. If you don't get beaten, who will?"
"Your eldest brother is right. Starting tomorrow, the rest of you will go to the martial arts training ground at dawn and practice for an hour. Zheng'er, you will be responsible for supervising them." The old Duke's voice arrived before he even showed up.
Chu Fang started to look worried when he heard that. It was already the morning hour, so that meant he wouldn't be able to sleep well from tomorrow on.
After the old Duke came in, the servants brought in tea and snacks. After the servants left, Xiao Yun spoke first, "Grandfather, uncle, I came here today because there is something I think I need to let you know."
After that, he winked at Chu Yi and said, "Chu Yi, go guard outside."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Seeing him being so serious, the old Duke and the eldest master knew that the matter must be complicated. They looked at each other, and then the old Duke shouted, "Listen to the wind."
The old Duke's attendant appeared outside the door and said, "I am here."
"Guard the yard, no one is allowed to enter."
