Chapter 4: Xiao Wang will get up after lying down for a while

Min Weixiu has no set routine.

When she was driven out of Kaifeng and went to Yanmen Pass, it was the first time she wielded a wolf-tooth club.

The first person she killed was a Liao soldier with a face like a donkey's, and she didn't know anything at all. She was nervous, picked up the wolf-tooth club, and remembered An Xi's method of using shoes to kill bugs, and went on a wild beating spree.

She ended up beating the soldier into a pulp within a radius of four zhang, and no one dared to stand within that area.

Min Weixiu vomited while killing, and killed while vomiting.

She made the Liao people so disgusted that they couldn't eat.

After vomiting for over a month, she finally grew and transformed.

Therefore, she didn't know any techniques at all, and even if she did, it was just the instinct she had developed from years of killing and bloody battles.

Min had been on the battlefield for many years, and with just one look, she wrinkled her brow, "Weixiu has been hiding in the deep palace, but her skills are quite experienced."

Min Weixiu bit her lip, she could take it slow, pretend not to understand, and gradually progress, so that her father would only think she was a fast learner, a martial arts prodigy.

But time waits for no one.

In another half year, her father would be going to war, and then suffered a devastating defeat, she didn't know the specifics. All she knew was that when her father returned to Kaifeng, her elder brother didn't come back.

Every day, people threw stones at her door, and in the teahouses and wine shops, there were rumors that General Min was jealous of the loyal minister and caused him to die in front of the Li Ling stele, and also killed the three sons of the loyal minister...

What is called "heaven's wrath and people's resentment" is when even the emperor couldn't suppress the murmurs of the people, took away his grand seal, and left him with an empty title.

Helpless, her father and mother left Kaifeng and returned to their ancestral home in Daming to avoid the storm, and their fortunes were lost.

Min Weixiu came back, wasn't it to turn the tide?

Martial arts training is not something that can be achieved overnight, she didn't have time to squat in a horse stance for half a year or practice on the plum blossom stakes for half a year.

She wanted to go to war with her father, and no one could stop her.

"Perhaps it's because she's a girl, naturally talented, like eating and drinking. But my fighting skills are clumsy, not as impressive as my father's," Min Weixiu said, raising the wolf-tooth club and fiercely striking.

Duke Wu felt the force of the wind, his face changed, "Well done! Little Five, you have the strength that I lack."

Duke Wu felt a little relieved, Min Weixiu was agile, seemingly matching his moves, but relying entirely on brute force, not like someone who had learned martial arts, but her combat instincts were amazing, a good seed for martial arts.

Techniques can be learned, but this kind of talent cannot be learned.

Min Weixiu was quite pleased, wasn't she? Maybe she could even push back her father one day...

Unexpectedly, before she could boast, Duke Wu's body shifted agilely, like a fox evading.

Min Weixiu didn't stop, and with a blow, she smashed the surrounding wall to pieces.

For a moment, the dust and debris were choking.

"Father, why didn't you take my blow?"

Before Duke Wu could answer, there was a wail outside the wall, "Third Prince, Third Prince, don't die!"

Min Weixiu was startled, could it be that some poor soul passing by had been crushed to death by her.

Duke Wu's mouth twitched, "Jiang Yanzhi, if you don't get up, I'll come over and lift you up."

A weak voice came from the pile of bricks and stones, "General Min, let the prince lie down for a while, he'll be able to get up soon."

Min Weixiu was speechless, why was her father being scolded? Just because of this character, clearly worried to death, his neck was stretched out to the next room, but he was saying hurtful things.

Thinking this, she slung the wolf-tooth club over her shoulder and jumped onto the collapsed stone wall, "Third Prince, I'm really sorry, I'm new to martial arts and didn't control my strength, did I hurt you? I'll pay for all your medical expenses."

Jiang Yanzhi's face was pale, in pain and unable to speak, he stammered, "The wall didn't hit the prince, but you stepped on the prince's foot, it's probably broken."

Min Weixiu was shocked and jumped down, afraid that she had crippled someone.

This Third Prince Jiang Yanzhi was the third son of the emperor.

Empress Liu had no children, and Concubine Cai gave birth to the eldest and third princes. Jiang Yanzhi's older brother was the crown prince, and the two brothers had a deep bond. He had just left the palace this year and was conferred the title of Longevity Prince, and his mansion was just a wall away from Duke Wu's mansion.

Jiang Yanzhi said, moving his foot, tears almost falling from his eyes due to the pain, and the little eunuch beside him finally came to his senses and cried out, "Third Prince, I'll carry you back up."

Jiang Yanzhi glanced at Min Weixiu and her father, and his pupils shrank, his face becoming even more frightening. After a long time, he spoke, "It's okay, it's okay... help me up."

Min Weixiu was unable to express her feelings, "Third Prince, are you really okay?"

Jiang Yanzhi nodded, "It's just a momentary shock, it's okay, it's okay, the prince will go back to rest first, you guys continue..."

Saying that, he took the hand of the eunuch and limped back to his own small building.

Only then did Min Weixiu come back to her senses and asked in surprise, "Why does the Longevity Prince live next to my father's martial arts field?"

Usually, the master of this mansion would live in the central position, and living next to this would be too noisy.

Duke Wu shook his head, "Who knows, can't people have some little-known quirks? Speaking of which, this Jiang Yanzhi often climbs a ladder and sits on the wall to watch me and your elder brother practice martial arts... today, he was probably about to climb the wall and got hit by you."

Duke Wu said, not caring, patting Min Weixiu's shoulder, "Little Five, let's continue!"

(Note: This is a translation of an excerpt from a Chinese novel. The translation aims to capture the essence and tone of the original text while making it understandable to English speakers.)

Min Weixiu nodded and raised her wolf-tooth club, ready to fight again. But as she raised her hand, she felt a sudden pain and her face turned black. "Father, I've twisted my waist..."

Duke Wu lowered his head and saw that Min Weixiu's waist was even thinner than the wolf-tooth club. It was a relief that it didn't break!

Min Weixiu looked mournful. She was too impatient and almost forgot that she was now a sickly person, like a fragile paper doll.

"Don't move, I'll carry you back to lie down," Duke Wu said without hesitation. He threw away the wolf-tooth club and swiftly carried Min Weixiu back to the small building.

"Rest here, these minor injuries, I can handle them myself. You're too thin, you need to eat more. If you were as strong as me, you wouldn't fear anything. Don't listen to your mother's nonsense about not being able to get married. If you like someone, tell me and I'll help you snatch him and get married immediately."

Min Weixiu felt warm inside after hearing this. "Okay, when I find someone, I'll tell you and we'll snatch him together. Ah!!!" It was so damn painful. Was her father really treating her twisted waist? He might just break her waist!

Duke Wu patted her with a smile, "It's okay now. I said those things just to get your attention. How about it, does it still hurt?"

It definitely still hurt!

Min Weixiu gritted her teeth, tears welling up in her eyes. "It doesn't hurt anymore."

Duke Wu, reassured, stood up. "In that case, I'll leave you to rest."

Duke Wu was delighted to have such a talented daughter and happily prepared to leave. There would be someone to carry on his legacy.

Once he left, Min Weixiu's face gradually turned cold. "Anxi, put away the silver bells on the bed."
