After entering the house, I said to Hai Dafu,"Eunuch, lend me some silver so I can gamble with them.”"What are you doing?" Hai Dafu asked curiously. I said,"The two brothers are from the upper study. I took advantage of the gambling to get close to them and wait for an opportunity to get them to bring me into the upper study to find the whereabouts of the forty-two chapters."”Hai Dafu was surprised. I understood that it was because my method coincided with his little scheme, but I didn't point it out. Hai Dafu turned around and took out six or seven small ingots from the inner room. He handed them to me and said,"That's right, those two brothers are very clever. Think of a way to make them owe you more money so that they can be at your service. I still have some silver here, you can take it.”

As the Wen brothers walked through the courtyard, they soon arrived at a side room. There were already five or six people inside, and it was very lively. When they saw the Wen brothers bringing along an unfamiliar eunuch, they all stopped. Wen Youfang said,"This brother is newly transferred here to serve Eunuch Hai. He's also called Little Guizi. Today, he's come with us to join in the fun."”I bowed to everyone and said,"Brothers, this is my first time here, please forgive me.”"So polite, come and place your bets."”The Wen brothers and I exchanged our chips and joined the battle.

I knew that this group of people were all sheep, so my hands were relaxed. I found the feeling after a few rounds, but I didn't dare to win too conspicuously. I wasn't worried about anything else, but I was afraid that these unlucky people would see that my luck was too good and wouldn't call me next time. After a whole morning of winning and losing, by the time it was time to eat, they had already won more than forty taels of silver while the Wen brothers had lost more than twenty taels. Everyone exchanged their silver and left. Before Wen Youdao left, he said to me,"Little Guizi, you're lucky today. Come back tomorrow and see how my brother will turn the tables.”I smiled, remembering the date with Little Xuan, and ran straight to that room.

At this time, Xiao Xuanzi had not arrived yet, so I took a plate of snacks as lunch and went under the table to eat. Not long after, I heard footsteps and Xiao Xuanzi called out,"Little Gui, Little Gui." I jumped out and smiled,"Hero, I'm here."”Xiao Xuanzi laughed and imitated Jiang Hu's tone,""As expected of a trustworthy person. The two of us will fight for another three hundred rounds.”

Without waiting for him to stand firm, I pounced forward and punched his glabella with my left hand. His body flashed and hit me right in the middle. I swept my leg below and Xiao Xuanzi fell to the ground. I couldn't help but feel proud of myself for winning so beautifully. Little Xuan stood up and made a pose with his hands."Again." I still punched him in the face, but this punch was solid. Little Xuan did not fall for it. He suddenly lowered his body and passed through my armpit. His left hand hit my lower back. I could not bear the pain and fell to the ground. Little Xuanzi was very pleased with himself.”It seemed like he had learned a new technique. I didn't answer and used the new moves I learned last night. I didn't expect that Little Xuan seemed to understand my moves very well and easily resolved each attack, causing me to lose five consecutive rounds. I thought it must be the Shaolin Long Fist I used yesterday. Little Xuan went back to learn the method to break the long fist. I didn't change my fist technique today, so I naturally lost. With a plan in mind, she asked him to fight again tomorrow. Little Xuanzi had probably used up all his knowledge and was in a hurry to go back and learn new moves. The two of them went their separate ways.

When I returned to Hai Dafu's residence, I pestered Eunuch Hai to teach me new martial arts. I didn't want to learn Shaolin's Long Fist anymore. Hai Dafu refused to teach me any new moves and insisted that I learn the long fist first, saying that this was to improve my basic skills. I had no choice but to tell him about the martial arts competition with Little Xuanzi. I didn't hide the fact that Little Xuanzi was Emperor Kangxi from him. I thought that I couldn't hide it either. Hai Dafu was overjoyed and thought that this was a great opportunity. It would be even easier to steal the books in the study after getting familiar with the Emperor. After listening to me, Hai Dafu fell into deep thought and muttered,"So the emperor's master uses palms.”When I heard this, I thought to myself that this was bad. Hai Dafu had found a clue to the Bone Melting Soft Palm. Soon, that fake Empress Dowager would be dragged in. At that time, my days would not be good. I was secretly anxious and did not know how to avoid this disaster.

Hai Dafu pondered for a moment and said," You can't let the Emperor get hurt when you're competing with him. Fortunately, you've just started practicing martial arts and don't have much foundation. I'll teach you a set of 'Merciful Thousand Leaves Hands'. This is the supreme martial art of Shaolin Temple. Combined with deep internal strength, it's powerful, but it won't hurt anyone. You don't have much inner strength now, so you can use this set of palm techniques to deal with the emperor.”I was overjoyed when I heard this. I thought that I could finally learn advanced martial arts. I could slowly train my internal energy in the future. I had to learn this unique skill first.

Thus, Hai Dafu began to demonstrate a few moves for me. This Great Mercy Thousand Leaves Hand was indeed complicated. I could only see palm shadows everywhere, dazzling me. I was overjoyed and quickly started learning. After learning five moves, the sky had already darkened. Hai Dafu said,"That's all for today. You are very talented in martial arts. If you practice hard, you will definitely become an expert in time.”If I had a pistol, I would be a peerless expert now. I wouldn't have to suffer like this.

After dinner, I practiced alone for a while. I was familiar with these five moves and felt confident that I could defeat Little Xuanzi. I began to meditate. These few days, I realized that meditation was more effective than sleeping. Even if I only practiced for an hour, my entire body would be full of energy and I wouldn't feel sleepy at all. He sat like this until dawn. He got up and stretched his muscles. Suddenly, he missed Little Lian. He had not gone back for two nights and did not know how Little Lian was doing. He had won a lot of silver yesterday. Today, he took time to buy her some gifts. Wen Youdao and the other eunuchs are useless, but they can be my ATMs. They don't have much money on them. If they can gamble with the ministers of Oboi, my annual expenses will be enough. I've been in the palace for so long, but I haven't seen any decent ministers except for the Emperor, let alone Oboi. If I have the chance, I will take a good look at this number one warrior of the Qing Dynasty.

Just as I was thinking about it, a eunuch in his twenties who gambled with me yesterday came to call me. I followed him to play for the whole morning, then took the dozens of taels of silver that I had won to go to Little Xuanzi's date.

Little Xuanzi had indeed learned many new moves, but they were all used to deal with Shaolin's long fist. When I used my 'Merciful Thousand Leaves Hands', he was caught off guard and lost several rounds in a row. Little Xuanzi was very excited. He made an appointment to fight the next day and went back to learn martial arts from his stepmother.

I went out of the palace and ran to the jewelry store to buy a pair of jade bracelets for Little Lian. I rushed home. When Little Lian saw me, she held my hand and refused to let go. She followed me everywhere and put on the bracelet I bought for her. She was so touched that she cried. When I saw her, I was also extremely happy. I pulled her to sit on my lap and asked her questions. From time to time, I would say some frivolous words, causing Little Lian to be so embarrassed that her cheeks were red and the whole room was filled with spring.

*********************************************************************

Little Lian pouted," I don't have many clothes left anyway. It's one thing for me to keep letting Little Treasure take advantage of me, but I'm not willing to throw the tickets in my hand at me. Look at that tiny percentage. If I still can't get it up, I won't let Little Treasure touch me again."”
