MTL - I Really Don’t Know How To Practice-Chapter 32 Unusual start to the new year

The last few days of the 599th year of the Great Martial Calendar ended amidst waves of turmoil.

In the sound of rumbling gun salutes, it ushered in the first day of the 600th year of the Dawu calendar.

On the night of the New Year's Eve, compared to the hustle and bustle outside, Han Xu's yard seemed a little deserted.

He, Lin Feng, and Nishang sat around the yard, accompanied by a jug of sake and a few dishes of side dishes, watching the sky filled with fireworks, each with different emotions.

Somewhat similar to the previous life, the Great Wu Dynasty also had New Year's festivals. On the first three days of each year, the whole country would celebrate the arrival of the New Year.

This kind of custom can make Han Xu feel a little familiar and stunned.

Calculated according to the time in this world, Han Xu will be eighteen years old once the time passes.

The light from the fireworks illuminated Han Xu's side face and his eyes.

But Nishang didn't understand why there were so many stories in this young man's eyes, she forgot that she was just a girl in her prime.

"I don't know how my sister is doing in the palace." Han Xu sighed, five or six days had passed since the wedding day, but there was still no news of Han Luoling in the palace, which made Han Xu a little worried.

"Young Master, don't worry, Miss will take care of you." Lin Feng knew that Han Xu and Han Luoling's siblings were deeply in love, so he didn't know how to comfort him at this moment, so he had to say this.

Nishang silently poured a glass of wine for Han Xu. Compared with Lin Feng, she knew how to comfort men.

"Are you still getting used to it these few days?" Han Xu suddenly turned his head and asked Nishang.

Nishang didn't expect Han Xu to ask himself suddenly, and subconsciously said, "Master, Nishang feels pretty good."

After finishing speaking, Nishang seemed to want to say something more, so Han Xu said: "If you have anything to say, you can just say it, I don't pay much attention here."

Nishang thought for a while and said, "Nishang just has one thing that I don't know, why did the young master choose me that day?"

"Of course it's because you're beautiful." Han Xu blurted out, Nishang blushed slightly after hearing this.

She knew that Han Xu was not telling the truth. If she was just greedy for her appearance, why would she be placed in a side courtyard after taking her home and respect each other like a guest.

In fact, apart from three meals a day, Nishang didn't have much time to see Han Xu.

So, Nishang looked at Han Xu. Although she didn't ask any questions, her stubborn eyes seemed to tell Han Xu that she wanted an answer, a less perfunctory answer.

When Han Xu saw him, his smile became gentle, and he said, "Actually, it's because I know that you are not happy in Xiaoxiang Pavilion."

Even though Nishang had thought about countless answers in his heart, he never thought that Han Xu would say this reason.

In Han Xu's eyes, Nishang only saw sincerity, which made her involuntarily believe that what Han Xu said came from the heart.

As a brothel girl, no one really cared about her thoughts, let alone asked her if she was happy.

Since she was a child, she was instilled with the concept of doing everything possible to please others, and those **** methods hidden in the dark.

Even though she is already the oiran of Xiaoxiang Pavilion, one of the four big oirans in Wangcheng, she has never felt the feeling of being really cared about.

At this moment, Nishang only felt that this New Year was no longer as cold as usual.

"It would be great if it could be like this every year." Nishang couldn't help thinking, she looked at Han Xu, and thought of the omnipotent pavilion master.

"I hope the master of the pavilion will not embarrass the young master." Nishang thought to herself, and unconsciously, her position also changed quietly.

When Han Xu saw her eyes, he guessed everything. Of course, he didn't want to come to Nishang because he was greedy for her beauty.

It's not exactly like what he said just now, it's just to take into account Nishang's feelings. Han Xu is not a saint, let alone a good person.

On the one hand, he kept Nishang by his side because he had been with her for many years and wanted to help her get rid of it, but most importantly, it was because Han Xu liked her ability.

If Han Xu wanted to build his own power, it was unrealistic to fight alone. He had to have some trustworthy and capable right-hand men.

In his mind, apart from Nishang, the other three oirans in Wangcheng are also good. They have their own strengths, and their strengths are not low. If they are trained in the future, they can all become masters on their own.

Of course, bringing people over is only the first step in Han Xu's plan. If they want to really play their role, there is one prerequisite that must be absolutely indispensable.

That is to gain their loyalty.

This is the most difficult thing. They were all trained by their respective organizations since they were young, and they were thoroughly brainwashed. It is impossible for them to abandon their original identities and truly be loyal to Han Xu just because of a little affection for Han Xu.

Therefore, Han Xu still has a long way to go. Fortunately, he is not in a hurry to subdue these four oirans.

The 600th year of the Great Martial Calendar is destined to have a different beginning.

Ordinary people are busy celebrating the arrival of the new year, but those big shots in the royal city are very busy.

In the court hall, Emperor Wu, who has always been diligent in politics, did not go to court for six consecutive days for the first time.

One must know that even when he was married to the empress that year, Emperor Wu did not miss the early court, but since Emperor Wu married Han Luoling, he had not appeared in court for six full days.

If it weren't for Eunuch Zhou, who served Emperor Wu, to pass the news to the court every day, the court would probably be in disarray.

But even so, many words have been born among the officials.

Some people said that His Majesty the Emperor Wu might be fascinated by Han Luoling's beauty.

No matter which dynasty, there are always stories of beauties causing chaos. Every time a dynasty changes, nine times out of ten, it begins with the emperor's indulgence in beauty.

And Han Luoling's beauty is enough to confuse all living beings.

When Emperor Wu did not go to court, many government affairs were delayed.

The officials went to the court every morning symbolically, and left numbly after Zhou Gonggong announced that Emperor Wu would not come.

There were only two exceptions. One was the Queen's father, Prime Minister Sinan, who stayed a little longer every day and entrusted Eunuch Zhou to hand over the memorial.

As for the other one, Qin Ling, the leader of the Tiance Army, one of the top extraordinary masters in the royal city, has been disarmed and kneeling outside the palace for six days and six nights.

For six days and six nights, he didn't eat or drink. He kept kneeling and never got up. He didn't even move his position. Even if he was an extraordinary expert, his face still looked pale and weak.

Everyone knew what he meant, and the deputy commander of the Tiance Army violated the holy will, and he, the commander, was naturally to blame. Therefore, he had to kneel here and wait for Emperor Wu to deal with him.

At the beginning of the new year, Vientiane begins.

However, local officials have never been able to get orders from the court, which has made many jobs unsustainable.

Although it was only a few days, the impact on the entire Great Wu Dynasty was immeasurable.

At this stall where management was absent, the battle for the master of the Golden Knife Gate became fierce.

The four main hall masters led their subordinates to fight no less than dozens of times, and each of them suffered a lot of casualties.

The royal city, which has always been peaceful, also smelled of blood because of this incident.

Because they themselves were worried about too many casualties, the four hall masters finally decided to rely on their personal strength to compete for the position of sect master.

Their decision immediately attracted a lot of attention.

Although Jindaomen is a power in the Jianghu, it has thousands of disciples, and many businesses in Wangcheng have their influence.

Even many officials secretly communicated with Jindaomen, and had close contacts.

Therefore, the affiliation of the position of sect master has a lot to do with it.

The day of the decisive battle was agreed to be on the fifth day of the lunar new year, and the location was on the barren hills in the western suburbs. Many masters of UU Reading www.uukanshu.com had already arrived nearby in advance, and even the government sent secret sentries.

On this day, the sky cleared up, and Han Xu slept until noon, only to be woken up by the sound of birdsong in the yard.

He stretched out of the house, enjoying the warmth of the sun.

Nishang immediately walked over with a hot water basin, and after the first few days, she had gotten used to the role of a maid.

After handing over a warm towel, Nishang asked, "My lord, what do you want for lunch?"

Han Xu asked, "What time is it today?"

"It's the fifth day of the first lunar month."

"Oh, the weather is really nice."

After Han Xu washed his face, he stretched comfortably. The warm sunshine brightened his mood a lot, and the gloom caused by his sister's marriage to the palace gradually dissipated.

"My lord, what do you want to eat?" Seeing that Han Xu returned to his usual smile, Nishang also felt happy. The horrible pavilion master didn't come to bother him these days, and Nishang also enjoyed the peaceful life of ordinary people for a few days. .

Han Xu stretched out his hand and brushed the black silk on his forehead, and said with a smile, "Let's go, today the young master will take you out to eat."

"Master, wait a moment, Nishang is going to change clothes." Nishang thought that this was the first time she went out with Han Xu after returning from Xiaoxiang Pavilion, so she had to pay attention to it.

"No need." After finishing speaking, Han Xu pulled the neon clothes and walked out without even changing his pajamas.

"But, don't we wait for Uncle Lin?" Nishang was a little flustered by Han Xu, but it was hard to break free, so he remembered that Lin Feng had disappeared early this morning.

"Uncle Lin is such an adult, don't worry, he should be out to do some errands." Han Xu counted the time and said, "If you count the time, it's almost time to finish."
