15.Training Cats and Dogs

 After lunch, Zhao Yao went to his secret place.His secret place was in the cold palace. The cold palace was to the west of Kunde Hall, not far from Kunde Hall, and could be reached in three quarters of an hour.

  Lai Cai and Lai Fu followed Zhao Yao to the door of the secret place.

  Because it was the cold palace, it was deserted and desolate, and there were gusts of cold wind. There had always been a legend in the palace that the cold palace was haunted. In the middle of the night, you could hear the crying of ghosts in the cold palace, which was very scary, so no one dared to approach the cold palace.

  The cold palace was not built by the Great Zhou Dynasty, but was left over from the previous dynasty. The palace where the Great Zhou Dynasty is now located was also left over from the previous dynasty.

  The Great Zhou Dynasty had only two emperors, and neither the previous emperor nor the emperor had sent concubines who made mistakes to the cold palace, so the cold palace left over from the previous dynasty was left vacant. Moreover, the cold palace had not been repaired, and it was overgrown with weeds and dilapidated, making it impossible for people to live there.

  Zhao Yao chased a cat to the cold palace a year ago and found that although it was deserted, it was very secretive and quiet. Most importantly, no one dared to come here.

  He also found that the cold palace was the den of wild cats and dogs in and outside the palace. So he decided to treat the cold palace as his own secret treasure.

  When he opened the door, what caught his eye was a neat, clean and strange yard. There were no weeds in the yard, and it had been trimmed clean long ago. However, there were many strange things placed in the yard, such as wooden stakes, wooden bridges, horizontal bars, parallel bars, slopes, circles, etc.

  Zhao Yao asked Tongle to make these things based on what he saw in his dream. Tongle is good at carpentry and can make many things. He can make anything that Zhao Yao draws.

  During this period of time, Tongle has been busy making these things here.

  When the cats and dogs in the yard saw Zhao Yao coming, they all ran towards him happily. Zhao Yao squatted down and was instantly surrounded by cats and dogs.

  Zhao Yao hugged the cats and dogs on both sides, and was intimate with the cats and dogs for a while, and then fed them the food he brought.

  After the cats and dogs finished their meal, Zhao Yao had a talk with the leader of the cats and dogs.

  Zhao Yao asked Tongle to make these obstacles in order to train the cats and dogs. In the dream, Zhao Yao and his team trained the dogs in this way. By the way, in the dream, the dogs had a very loud name called military dogs.

  He planned to train a team of military dogs and military cats according to the training method in the dream. In this way, the cats and dogs can help him a lot in the future.

  The boss of the cats is called Lai Lu, a very beautiful black cat without a single stray hair. The boss of the dogs is called Lai Wang, also a black dog with black hair all over his body without a single stray hair.

  Lai Lu and Lai Wang were selected by Zhao Yao because they are the smartest and most human. They can basically understand what he says, while the other cats and dogs are a little dumber and cannot fully understand what he says.

  Zhao Yao told Lai Lu and Lai Wang how to pass those obstacle training. Lai Wang and his team understood and immediately did what Zhao Yao said, but they did not do it well, after all, it was their first training.

  The other cats and dogs tilted their heads, watching their boss climb those strange things and then fall down from those strange things.

  Zhao Yao told Tongle the training method again, and asked Tongle to teach and supervise the training of the cats and dogs on his behalf. Cats and dogs that

  completed the task well were rewarded and could eat large pieces of meat and bones. When they heard that there would be delicious food, the cats and dogs were immediately full of energy.

  Of course, cats and dogs that did not train well or were not trained well would also be punished, and they would not be given meat or bones.

  Zhao Yao planned to train the cats and dogs to pass these obstacles first, and then train their sense of smell, so that they could find animals or people through smell.

  Lai Wang and Lai Lu listened to Zhao Yao very much, and promised Zhao Yao that they would complete the training soon and would bring their brothers to train together.

  Zhao Yao also trained for a while, but did not climb up the slope. He would come to train again at night.

  He had to train well and not be a weak prince who was powerless. Otherwise, even if he could grow up safely in the palace, he

  might get into trouble when he came of age. Besides, when he came of age and went to his fief, he might encounter some monsters and demons, and he might even go to the battlefield. After all, the world was not peaceful.

  In addition to training, he had to learn martial arts and horse riding and archery. These could save lives on the battlefield.

  Zhao Yao saw that the afternoon horse riding and archery class was about to begin, so he stopped training with the cats and dogs.

  Before leaving, he asked Lai Wang, "The secret passage is normal, there is nothing abnormal, right?"

  [Yaoyao, don't worry, we guarded the secret passage well and no one found it.] Lai Wang said, [People are saying that the Pei Mansion is haunted, and no one dares to get close to it.]

  Zhao Yao touched Lai Wang's head and praised, "Well done."

  Lai Wang shook his tail happily and asked, [Yaoyao, when are you leaving the palace?]

  "I'll leave the palace when I have a rest." Zhao Yao instructed, "You should train here first these few days. After you guys have finished training, the brothers guarding Pei Mansion will come to train."

  Lai Wang wagged his tail and said, "Yaoyao, don't worry, we will train well."

  Zhao Yao smiled and said, "I will come to see you guys in the evening."

  "Yaoyao, go slowly."   

  Zhao Yao brought Tongxi back to Kunde Hall, changed into a riding and shooting outfit, and went to the martial arts field.

  I won't study this afternoon, but practice riding and shooting.

  Riding, archery and martial arts are compulsory courses for the princes of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Every prince must learn it and learn it well. After all, the empire of the Great Zhou Dynasty was built bit by bit.

  Zhao Yao preferred to learn riding and shooting in the martial arts field than studying in the Hall of Wende.

  Zhao Yao was not the last one to arrive, the seventh prince and the ninth prince had not arrived yet. He obediently greeted the arriving royal brothers one by one.

  "Bago, your health is not fully recovered yet. Is it okay to come to the martial arts field to practice riding and shooting?" Zhao Yao was very worried about the eighth prince's health. "Bago, you'd better ask for leave and go back to rest."

  After Zhao Yao was so concerned, A warm feeling passed through the heart of the Eighth Prince, and he smiled slightly at Zhao Yao: "I'm fine. I've been lying in bed to rest for the past few days, and my body is very sore. It's a good time to move my body today."

  Zhao Yao asked, "Myna, Do you have the strength?"

  "Of course." After the eighth prince finished speaking, he pinched Zhao Yao's chubby little face, "Do you think I have the strength?"

  "It hurts..." Zhao Yao slapped the eighth prince away. With his hand, he rubbed the painful area pinched by his Bage. He pouted and said with some dissatisfaction, "Bago, what can you do if you have the strength to pinch my face?"

  "Let you feel my strength." After that, Bage said The prince picked up Zhao Yao's face again and rubbed it vigorously.

  The fourth prince on the side saw Zhao Yao's cute little face being rubbed out of shape by the eighth prince, and stretched out his hand to pull Zhao Yao to his side.

  "Eighth brother, that's enough."

  The eighth prince responded obediently: "Yes, fourth brother." Turning his head, the eighth prince's eyes flashed with a hint of darkness.

  Zhao Yao stretched out his hand and tugged on the fourth prince's sleeve, "Fourth brother, Eighth brother is just teasing me."

  Seeing that Zhao Yao's little face was red, the fourth prince asked with concern: "Does it hurt?"

  "It doesn't hurt, it really doesn't hurt." Myna was playing with him, and he knew how to act appropriately.

  The fourth prince nodded lightly and said nothing more.

  The sound of the seventh prince and the ninth prince quarreling came from not far away. The Ninth Prince laughed at the Seventh Prince for his poor riding and shooting skills, and the Seventh Prince mocked the Ninth Prince for his poor study skills.

  The two of them argued more and more fiercely, but they didn't take action.

  Zhao Yao always wanted to watch them fight, but they just couldn't fight. What kind of man is he who only talks about his temper and doesn't take action?

  When the third prince saw the ninth prince, he said jokingly: "Ninth brother, you said this morning that you would add eight beads to the king. It seems that your dream will be disappointed." The

  fifth prince smiled and said: "I heard that my father is very angry. Next time The court asked the ministers to continue arguing. "

  The sixth prince said, "Ninth brother, you said that your brother wants to add eight beads. This is treason among the civil and military ministers of the court."

  "Sixth brother, you dare to say this to me. Do you want to tell me in front of my father?" The Ninth Prince was not afraid of the Sixth Prince and the others, and he counterattacked unceremoniously, "Sixth Brother, my father didn't even convict my brother of treason, but you convicted my brother, you are so powerful, father Does the emperor know?"

  "That's not what I said, the minister said it." The sixth prince waved his hands quickly, "Ninth brother, please don't frame me."

  "Sixth brother, please tell me which minister said it. Tell Father, or you and I will go and talk to Father right now." The Ninth Prince looked at the Sixth Prince sideways, "Brother Six, do you dare?"

  The Sixth Prince's face turned very ugly for a moment, and he said through gritted teeth. : "You dare to disturb my father, but I don't dare."

  Compared to the favored ninth prince, the sixth prince seemed less favored.

  The Ninth Prince sarcastically said, "I knew you didn't dare, Sixth Brother."

  "You..." The Sixth Prince really didn't dare, mainly because he was afraid of the emperor.

  The princes worshiped the emperor and were proud to have the emperor as their father. However, they are also very afraid of the emperor, their father. The emperor was not very fond of the princes, and he would never show mercy when it was time to fight. All the princes, including the prince, were beaten by the emperor.

  When the emperor gets angry, he will be beaten whenever he wants. The sixth prince was beaten the most among the princes, and he was afraid of being beaten by the emperor.

  When Zhao Yao saw that the sixth prince did not argue with the ninth prince anymore, he despised him in his heart. Brother Six is ​​such a bad guy that he can't quarrel with Brother Ninth every time. However, the ninth brother also relied on the second brother's blessing, and he was very favored in front of his father during this period.

  It seems that Ninth Brother will be proud for a while. His ears may have become unclean during this period.
