Because the seventh prince's talent was beyond the scope of judgment, Zhang Si first tried out the eighteen weapons for the fifth prince and the sixth prince.

While the Fifth Prince thought he was suitable for a giant hammer or halberd type weapon, Zhang Si picked a horse lance for him.

"This ......" the fifth prince is obviously not satisfied: "This weapon only marching war heavy armor cavalry breakout charge, only use, suitable for group battle rather than solo battle, which people pick horse lance as their own when the skill? Also too bulky! The field is small can't, once by the opponent close, will have no chance to win!"

Xue Yao was also a bit puzzled as to how Zhang Si could pick a bar for the Fifth Prince that was practically made for the battlefield.

Could it be that Zhang Si saw that the Fifth Prince had the aura of a famous general?

The form of the horse lance is similar to the lance, but the length is much longer, just the sharp edge of the head part of the lance, there are more than half a meter.

The barrel part of the horse lance is not simply a wooden structure, but a complex multi-layer material mixed and coated with glue, layer by layer to synthesize the composite material.

The reason why don't use the ordinary wood pole, because the horse long lance's main use figure is the heavy armor charge, the pure wood gun pole is too easy to break, and the pure metal gun pole lacks the elasticity and is too bulky.

Horse lance is about one foot eight feet long super long cold weapon, if use copper and iron to make the gun pole, I am afraid than the Guan Er Master's supine moon sword is still heavy, dance too consume physical strength, so only with composite material to make the gun pole, is not easy to break at the same time, is not too bulky.

This kind of weapon is very expensive and not suitable for single combat, very few people use it.

In Xue Yao's impression, only the fierce general Qin Qiong was good at this kind of weapon.

Overall, this is a weapon born for the battlefield, few people go out to carry such a long lance shopping, not as good as the sword looks dashing and handsome.

For a teenager of the fifth prince's age, being dashing and handsome was one of the criteria for judging the value of a weapon, and not being dashing meant that one could not get the admiration of the girls, and practicing martial arts all of a sudden lost fifty percent of its significance.

The Fifth Prince naturally did not want to choose the horse lance.

"Horse lance is the most suitable weapon for you." Zhang Si pulled up the horse lance and took a step back, juggling it in front of the Fifth Prince, dodging and moving around, explaining for the Fifth Prince: "The horse lance is not just a weapon for charging into battle, its length allows you to be in a safe range at all times, and it is easier to see your opponent's movements.

His Highness's greatest weakness was that he was so eager to deal a fatal blow to his opponent in melee combat that he ignored his opponent's sneak attack.

I know you're trying to make quick work of the double hammer, but in reality your failure is not in the lack of power of the weapon, but in the habitual blind spot of melee combat.

And when you keep a certain distance from your opponent, your observation and judgment will become very accurate and sharp, this is exactly the performance of the talent of horse lance, after practicing the horse lance, the gun and stick will naturally not be a problem."

The Fifth Prince carefully recalled every time he had fought someone and suddenly realized that Zhang Si was right.

Keeping his distance during sparring, he was often on top, and once he shortened the distance to the moment of engagement, if he couldn't win with a single strike, he could easily be counter-pressured.

Previously, he had always thought that it was due to the lack of weapon power, making it difficult to suppress the enemy at critical moments, and after listening to Zhang Si's analysis, he realized that his true weakness was his ultra melee combat blind spot.

"You have a point." The fifth prince said, "But I ...... still don't like the horse lance very much, can I switch to other weapons by correcting my mistakes during melee combat ......"

"Your Highness." Zhang Si interrupted him and spoke directly, "I have already said that the most important thing is to find the right direction for your talent first, your weaknesses can of course be corrected by practicing diligently, but when you encounter an opponent who is extremely good at getting close to you, weaknesses will always remain weaknesses, and you have to use your best instincts to put yourself as much as possible at an advantage, in order to be able to survive a hundred battles. "

The Fifth Prince had no way to refute this, and could only forcefully nod his head, reaching out with the intention of taking the horse lance in Zhang Si's hand.

Zhang Si, however, suddenly withdrew his hand and did not hand him the horse lance.

The Fifth Prince looked up at him suspiciously.

"You have to love your weapon from the bottom of your heart if you have set your goal." Zhang Si said sternly, "You don't like the horse lance now, then practice the double hammer and horse lance together, and after a month, use the double hammer and the horse lance to fight against your Royal Instructor separately, then come back and tell me your choice, sincerely."

The Fifth Prince slowly lowered his head, and after a long time, spoke in a slightly hoarse voice: "It's not that I don't like the horse lance, but I don't like a person who once used it to build a career."

Zhang Si froze, staring at this child who looked like the emperor, for a long time, and spoke in a low voice: "The general who built a career with a horse lance, there is no one else in Daqi except for old General Qin, his old man is your maternal grandfather, don't you like him?"

The Fifth Prince nodded and raised his head to look at Zhang Si, "You know my maternal grandfather?"

Zhang Si smiled bitterly and looked at the Fifth Prince with a vicissitude in his gaze, "Before your origin, for a whole decade, I was in the general's residence to make a living, so how could I not recognize Old General Qin."

The small garden suddenly became unusually quiet.

The white clouds in the sky gradually dispersed, and the obscured sun enveloped the garden in a blazing light.

It was like the blazing anger in the eyes of the Fifth Prince.

"I hate him," the Fifth Prince spoke through clenched teeth, "He's the one who made my mother enter the palace to be selected in place of Second Aunt."

Zhang Si's eyes widened in surprise and spoke in a low voice, "Consort Hui's entry into the palace is an honor for the general's residence, and as you are the prince, shouldn't you be proud of this?"

The fifth prince lowered his head, his voice low and inaudible as he replied, "Never. I want to ride the frontiers and build a career like my maternal grandfather, this palace ......"

His green fists pinched and cackled as he steeply looked up at Zhang Si, red-eyed and sad, "This palace is my mother's cage, and it's also my cage!"

Xue Yao and the Sixth Prince were both stunned.

It never occurred to me that the brown little manhood of the Fifth Prince would think about these things.

Xue Yao had always thought that he was a sunny boy with rough nerves and a big heart.

It turns out that in everyone's heart, there is an unknown side hidden.

Zhang Si stared blankly at the Fifth Prince, his mind going blank.

Before that, he had never considered the Fifth Prince as the son of Princess Hui in his heart.

He understood that the Qin family's third young miss had been the emperor's woman long ago, and he wished the third young miss happiness.

But the part of his body that was a man did not allow Zhang Si to accept the fact that the Qin family's Third Miss had already given birth to another man.

Self-knowledge also told Zhang Si that he could not afford to mess with the emperor and the emperor's son.

Therefore, Zhang Si chose to avoid this fact, treating the fifth prince as if he was a royal prince who was not related to Princess Hui.

But at this moment, he found that this child was born to practice horse lance material, born to retain the blood of seven generations of Qin family martial arts generals, born with Huifei's girlhood that impulse.

Zhang Si gradually saw the shadow of his beloved woman in the angles of the fifth prince's eyebrows.

The imagined hatred and rejection all did not erupt, recognizing the fifth prince as her child, surprisingly made Zhang Si's heart surge with a different kind of warmth, unconsciously looking at the fifth prince.

The fifth prince never thought that he would roar out these darkness hidden in the bottom of his heart, and never knew that it would be so free after roaring out, after not being able to care about much, he even simply shouted out what was in his heart to Zhang Si Quan: "You have such a good kung fu, why didn't you take my mother to escape in the first place? Even the unarmed scholar dared to take the second aunt to escape, but you watched my mother replace the second aunt to enter the palace to select the showgirls, do you count as a man!"

"Fifth brother!" The Sixth Prince scrambled forward to stop his brother.

The garden had been cordoned off in advance, but who could be sure that no one would accidentally break in?

If these treacherous words were heard by outsiders, the consequences would be unimaginable!

Xue Yao had also become so frightened that she had difficulty breathing, but fortunately, the Sixth Prince stepped in to stop the Fifth Prince.

On the side, the Seventh Prince turned his head and asked Xue Yao, "Why isn't Zhang Si considered a man? It's not like he wears rouge."

Xue Yao: "......"

Seeing that he didn't answer, the Seventh Prince thought that he had used the wrong tone again and immediately lowered his voice by an octave and inquired in a low voice, "It's not like he's rubbing rouge."

Xue Yao suddenly felt a bit of relief and raised his hand to pinch the little chubby cub's cheek.

At least the cub was raised in happiness and was quite successful in his endeavors.

Because of the solution to the robbery of the Shu Road, Consort Shio's mother and son had been favored, and the Emperor was even considered a good father to the Seventh Prince.

Consort Shio also poured all of her motherly love into the Seventh Prince's one child.

In the original, Consort Shio had given birth to a baby girl prematurely and died prematurely more than half a year after the Emperor announced the offer of Shu Road, but did not conceive that child in this life.

Xue Yao had wondered about this for a long time, and later guessed that it might be because in the original, Consort Shi did not hesitate to agree to the Emperor's invitation to accompany him, and later, during the period of intense love and affection, she became pregnant with a baby girl.

In this life, during the same period, Consort Shio was cold-shouldered by the Emperor because she refused to accompany him and missed the time to conceive that child, and afterwards, because she hated the Emperor's selfish true colors, she took contraceptive soup privately for a period of time, and so far she has not conceived any more children.

It also made the little chubby pups, whose mother's love was not shared with any of the other children, a real honey pot of milked chubby pups.

Unlike the Sixth Prince whose father doesn't love him.

Neither does ......

Xue Yao looked compassionately at the Fifth Prince who was red-eyed and venting his resentment towards Zhang Si -

"You are right." Zhang Si smiled curtly and desperately at the Fifth Prince, "I wasn't really a man in the first place."

How can the illiterate Zhang Si compare with the scholar who abducted Miss Er?

Where does he deserve to steal a woman from the Emperor? What right does Princess Hui have to wander with him?

The fifth prince gradually calmed his anger, calmed down, and asked Zhang Si, "What exactly is the relationship between you ...... and my mother? Don't worry, tell the truth, I won't count the past."

Zhang Si's expression went blank for a moment, looked down to think, smiled sagely, and told the Fifth Prince, "It doesn't matter. How can a slave girl climb into a relationship with Empress Hui."

"Humph." The Fifth Prince was furious: "No wonder my mother said ......"

An appalling hostility instantly condensed in Zhang Si's eyes, and he pursued with a face full of eagerness, "What did your mother say?"

The Fifth Prince was forced back two steps by his sudden aggressiveness and returned to his senses before muttering, "My mother said she doesn't remember you being in the general's residence."

Zhang Si's expression, twisted by anticipation, froze, and he just stared at the Fifth Prince in demented stupidity for a while before the corners of his mouth twitched and he narrowed his gaze, nodding as if it was expected and muttering under his breath, "This is natural, this is natural."

Xue Yao was shocked, not realizing that Princess Hui didn't remember this mysterious expert at all.

Originally worried that after the eunuch arranged for the transfer of manpower, Princess Hui would be terrified because of this, but now it seems that this expert eunuch, on Princess Hui's side, has no name at all.

This is rather a good thing, after all, this eunuch is suspected of coveting the emperor's consort, and it is not safe to really have a past.

It could also be that Princess Hui is lying, and it's not convenient to talk about the man she loved before she married in front of her children.

When Xue Yao thought about it carefully, Consort Hui's big-headed personality might actually be able to admit these things in front of the child.

The daughter of a general's tiger is no joke.

General consort in the palace, weekdays often look at the theater to enjoy the flowers, Xue Yao childhood to go to the fifth prince's palace, but often saw Princess Hui playing guns and sticks!

I remember when the seventh prince was five years old, once with the fifth prince in the temple chasing and playing, the palace maid chased after to feed.

Was Huifei saw, a pick up the little fat cub neck collar, one-handed carry to the side hall, put on a chair, a Hedong lion roar, let the seventh prince rules sitting with the meal.

You know, five-year-old chubby cubs are not ordinary cubs, the emperor like the practitioner, hands lifted fat son, the brain door and the veins protruding jump it, that is solid cubs!

Huifei picked it up with two fingers, and she was still as fit as a fiddle!

It's simply the female of all females.

She was very straightforward in nature like the Fifth Prince, and Xue Yao could not imagine her refusing to admit that she knew Zhang Si as an admirer because of her petulance.

The day after tomorrow, he was going to accompany Zhang Si to pay a visit to Princess Hui at Zhongzi Palace, and Xue Yao was a little curious as to what Princess Hui's attitude would be.

The author has something to say:

The Dragon Ao Tian pup who was led to run by Fifth Brother's mother: ?????

Where is the tonnage that my son is so proud of?
