Chapter Twenty Memories of the Past

  Why are there so many people voting for the protagonist to invent a time-space spaceship? It's not that ridiculous, haha.

  ………………

  The prince's arrival at the Yang residence seemed to cast a tense atmosphere over the entire household, except for one place - Yang Wenguang's small courtyard. Since the prince was staying in the main house, Old Master Yang told Zheng Shuqiong to take a few days off at home, which meant that Young Master Yang was on holiday, and he was so delighted that he wished the prince could stay forever. Yun Qi didn't care about this, now that his teacher wasn't coming to teach, and Old Master had to accompany the prince, so he simply moved his martial arts practice from afternoon to morning.

  After lunch one day, the sound of "pa, pa, pa" hitting a wooden stake came from Yang Wenguang's courtyard. This kid had been secretly practicing with Yun Qi as his master and had been practicing until now, and he was quite skilled. Sometimes, Yun Qi would also spar with Yang Wenguang, and this kid could actually hold on for over twenty moves. This was the result of only one month of practice, and Yun Qi was also surprised in her heart, thinking that this kid's foundation was pretty good.

  Until now, Yun Qi had been sincere in wanting to accept this apprentice. In a month, he could learn two sets of fists from his own hands, which was not easy. Some people might ask if learning fist so quickly would affect the foundation. Yun Qi didn't think so. He had his own method: first teach the routine, then discuss the power. After Yang Wen Guan memorized the routines of the two sets of fists, he would practice on a wooden stake, find his shortcomings from the wooden stake, and then Yun Qi would personally demonstrate and explain one by one. Afterwards, Yang Wen Guan could always gain some insight. He wasn't neglecting basic training, but as Yun Qi put it: the best time every day was naturally used for learning. Basic skills like horse stance and walking step were left to the evening. Moreover, Yun Qi also set a schedule for Yang Wen Guan.

  Every day at 7:00 am, I get up immediately and go for a run outside the city with Yun Qi. After returning, I start eating and doing chores. At 9:00 am, I begin practicing Taolu (if Zheng Shu is not around, otherwise I read books and study). From 1:00 pm to 5:00 pm, I practice wooden stake and frame exercises for four hours. After dinner, I do basic training, including horse stance, punching, and leg strength exercises until 11:00 pm, then it's time for sleep and rest.

  After a day, Yang Wenguan directly collapsed onto the bed, his two legs trembling, his whole body weak. But this kid also had backbone, no matter how bitter or tired he was, he didn't make a sound, and under Yun Qi's urging, he completed everything.

  Yang Wenguan was practicing wooden stake, while Yun Qi had nothing to do, with a cigarette in his mouth and a carving knife in his hand, holding a piece of wood, busy carving. To talk about Yun Qi's carving skills, it is necessary to go back to the present world.

  The story goes that the Snow Wolf of the Special Forces' Assault Team, Yun Mo Yu, has a skill that no one would say is his expertise in firearms or other military projects, although they are all excellent. However, what makes people surrender is his knife work. Give this kid a carving knife and a piece of good wood, and he can carve out any shape you imagine. I remember once when there was no mission, Yun Mo Yu found some materials and spent three days carving out a human figure, about the same size as a real person's half-body statue. The third team members went forward to take a look, and Liu Yuan directly shouted: "Damn, isn't this Principal?" You little devil carved your own father!

  Haha... Yun Moyu let out a sinister laugh, and whispered his plan to several people. At this point, all the members of the third squad burst into treacherous laughter.

  So, on a dark and windy night, the lights in the barracks were turned off early. The members of the third squad collectively took action, placing a chair outside the gate, piling some miscellaneous items on it, and then putting the statue on top. They also put on military hats and uniforms with epaulets, which seemed to have been found by Yun Mochou from somewhere. After finishing their work, they placed a pair of military boots in front of the chair and finally covered everything with a military coat. Ah! Done! Several people looked at it from afar and near, making sure there were no flaws, before collectively retreating back to their dormitory, squeezing together at the window to watch.

  Not long after...

  "Huh? Who's sitting there? ...... Ah! Good leader! ...... Which turtle son did it......!"

  After a while...

  "Oh my god! Boss is good! How did the boss end up here? ......Oh no!! Which idiot did this? This is totally a setup!"

  Then...

  Their instructor might have just returned from a meeting and walked over... The kids upstairs took one look and were done for...

  Just then, the instructor walked over and looked at him in surprise, saying: "Squad leader! You're really fast, actually arriving before me. I don't know what instructions you have for me? Squad leader?... Are you asleep? Squad leader... Ah, damn it! What nonsense... This is simply absurd..."

  In the end, several people were collectively detained and their bonuses for that month were deducted.

  ………

  "Hehe..." Yun Qi was carving the wooden material in his hand while recalling past events, and he couldn't help but feel amused.

  Looking down at the wood in his hands, it was slowly separating bit by bit. The wood had originally been a cylindrical shape but gradually turned into a half-body portrait of a person, which looked very similar to himself with short hair and a chiseled face, as if carved from the same mold.

  Before long, looking at the finished product in his hand, he blew off the dust, Yun Qi's eyes were moist, and he muttered softly: "Father!"

  ………

  In Yang's residence on the other side, inside Yang Ziting's study...

  Yang Ziting and Taizi sat on either side, in the spacious study, there were only two people.

  "It turns out that Your Highness has come here, and it's not just to inspect the people's livelihood."

  "The teacher is right, the emperor privately gave me an oral decree, not only me, but also my several younger brothers, were all assigned to various cities to find some strange and extraordinary people, so as to boost morale when war comes."

  "Your Majesty is indeed a piece of bitter heart!" Yang Ziting sighed, then he looked at the prince and said solemnly: "Your Highness, if there is any place where an old minister like me can be used, I will definitely do my best."

  The crown prince's expression slightly relaxed, and he smiled: "With teacher saying that, I can rest assured."

  The two of them discussed some military strategies and chatted about family matters for a while. As the sky was getting dark, they each went their separate ways to rest.
