Chapter 2 A string of candied hawthorns wants to deceive me into becoming a disciple
Wang Yu was so looking forward to the beauties in the martial arts world for a reason. It was indeed the nature of men at play, but there was also a more important reason related to Wang Yu's crossing with the golden finger.
Compared to that miserable little soldier and the cheap old dad Wang Mang who almost got fooled, Wang Yu's luck is obviously better. Not only did he read later generations' martial arts novels, but he also brought with him a golden finger that made all men in the world drool - "Huangdi Neijing".
That's right, it's the "Huangdi Neijing" you imagined. Not the health book "Huangdi Neijing" that can be easily searched online in later generations, but the real and legendary "Huangdi Neijing" where Huangdi ascended to heaven with three thousand girls. Of course, legends are unverifiable, and no one knows if Huangdi really ascended to heaven after practicing "Huangdi Neijing" with three thousand girls. So, Wang Yu decided to personally test the power of "Huangdi Neijing".
The Taizong of later generations didn't say that practice is the sole criterion for testing truth? Wang Yu deeply agrees with this.
Alright, Wang Yu would absolutely never admit that he had any other evil thoughts.
"What a pity, having the heart but not the strength." Wang Yu thought of his age and couldn't help feeling sad. It would still be a long time before he could experience the effects of the "Huangdi Neijing", how was he going to spend such a long time?
Wang Yu felt suffocated staying in the new imperial palace and decided to go out for a walk. Let's see what's fun in Chang'an City.
Wang Yu is also bored, staying in the palace every day, not wanting to study the Four Books and Five Classics, but having an interest in martial arts. However, with the "Huangdi Neijing" as a benchmark, even if he can't practice it now, he still looks down on ordinary three-legged cat kung fu. So every day is spent doing nothing.
As for Wang Yu's cheap father, Wang Mang, he is becoming more and more like a madman, and it is clear that Wang Mang does not have deep paternal feelings towards Wang Yu. Therefore, Wang Yu also doesn't bother to see Wang Mang on ordinary days. Wang Yu understands that in the 1970s, it was common for soldiers to criticize their own fathers, and in their minds, everything except faith was fleeting. For such fanatics, Wang Yu does not think he has the ability or necessity to save them. Moreover, Wang Yu also knows that historically, among Wang Mang's four sons, except for the third son who died of illness, including himself, the other three sons were killed by Wang Mang's own order. Towards this child-killing madman, Wang Yu decides it is better to keep a distance.
After years of observing from the sidelines, Wang Yu had already seen through it: Wang Mang was beyond salvation. His actions were too radical and had offended the most powerful interest groups and aristocratic families of the time, and he was also not favored by the ruling Confucian scholars. At the same time, because he usurped the Han dynasty, his position was illegitimate, and the people's hearts were unstable. Moreover, Wang Mang persisted in being radical and did not know how to ease conflicts. If things continued like this, he would only end up with a fate similar to that of those who had been abandoned by their allies throughout history.
But this is not necessarily a bad thing. Wang Mang's actions have broken the existing pattern, and it is said that without destruction there can be no construction, which gives me the opportunity to clean up the mess. When the time comes, if I want to make some changes, the resistance will be much less than it is now. With me in charge, I believe the new dynasty will not collapse like it did after Wang Mang's death.
Although the world has already been plagued by war, Chang'an City is still very peaceful. After all, it is the capital of the new dynasty and also the former imperial capital of the Han Dynasty. The city is bustling with people, horses and carriages, and its prosperity is unmatched in this world, with only a few cities able to rival it.
With several maids, Wang Yu strolled around Chang'an City. Unbeknownst to him, imperial guards were secretly protecting him, and Wang Yu wasn't worried about his personal safety either. In Chang'an City, if the safety of the current crown prince couldn't be guaranteed, then this new dynasty wouldn't have a reason to exist.
Gazing at the scenery on both sides of the road, Wang Yu suddenly found a beautiful woman walking towards him with a string of candied hawthorns in her hand, slender waist and elegant demeanor. Everyone on both sides of the road was stunned.
Even Wang Yu, a seasoned veteran, was stunned by the beauty in front of him.
She is absolutely beautiful, elegant and refined, with a clean and dust-free temperament. Time has left no mark on her. She is a woman whose age cannot be guessed, an enigmatic woman.
Noticing that the hidden imperial guard did not react, it seemed that this beauty was not here to harm him. Wang Yu took advantage of his young age and directly acted cute, saying "Sister, you're so beautiful."
The woman smiled charmingly and said, "Little brother, you're really sweet-tongued. Sister will treat you to a candied hawthorn, how about that?"
"Great, but something this good, I want to eat with my sister together. Sister, you first." Although the imperial guard did not give himself a warning, the deeply ingrained habits of his past life made Wang Yu understand that it's best not to casually eat things given by strangers. At least, don't eat first. There was still a necessary sense of vigilance, although Wang Yu didn't think the beauty in front of him came to harm him.
The beauty didn't suspect anything else, opened her cherry lips and bit into a sugar gourd, the temptation brought by that action made Wang Yu have an instant urge to turn into a wolf man. Unfortunately, he was still too young, with a willing heart but no strength.
Wang Yu was unwilling, and had to get some benefits after all.
"Sister, hug." Wang Yu opened his arms and continued to act cute. Actually, he just wanted to take advantage of the opportunity.
The beauty bent down and gently hugged him, holding Wang Yu in her arms. After all, Wang Yu was still a six-year-old child and not very heavy.
Wang Yu buried himself in the beautiful woman's bosom, feeling that softness, and suddenly felt carefree. Being young still has its advantages. Even if he were five or six years older, he probably wouldn't be able to enjoy this kind of benefit anymore.
"Little brother, do you want to learn martial arts? If you want to learn, you can just worship me as your sister and teacher. I'm actually quite formidable." The beautiful woman's eyes fluttered back and forth, gazing at Wang Yu with a slightly intense gaze.
Wang Yu was currently nestled in the beauty's embrace, rubbing against her. What a bargain it would be to take advantage of this opportunity! Just as he was savoring the soft sensation, he heard the beauty wanting to make him her apprentice. His heart instantly became vigilant.
It's not just a simple pickup after all. However, the imperial guards who were secretly protecting themselves never gave themselves an alarm, which means they believed this woman wouldn't harm them. Given that they had already been in close proximity to this woman, it suggests that the imperial guards might know her.
From the beginning, Wang Yu knew that this woman wouldn't be an ordinary person. With such a stunning appearance, she was destined to be out of reach for ordinary people. However, Wang Yu never expected that this beauty would actually want to become his master. Had she investigated his identity?
Wang Yutian asked: "Sister, are you very powerful? I heard that people who are very powerful all have their own nicknames. Do you have one, sister?"
"My sister is called Yin Hou, and I am Zhu Yuyan."
Wang Yu was taken aback at first, and then he was overjoyed.
