Eight years.
Zhuo Weian is already extremely familiar with this bamboo forest.
He has been observing bamboo for eight years and painting bamboo for eight years. He has seen almost every corner. He even knows exactly when each bamboo grew.
But now, watching the bamboo branches swaying and the bamboo leaves flying, he had a slight illusion.
Bamboo, still bamboo.
But, it’s not just bamboo!
"It's a sword!"
Bamboo leaves are like swords, and the entire bamboo forest is like thousands of swords!
When the wind and rain continue to blow the bamboo branches, countless bamboo leaves are flying, just like thousands of swords intertwined in the air.
"This is a sword move!"
He once watched bamboo in the rain, and thought it might be a sword move, but the rain during the day and the rain at night were different.
Only when the rain and fog filled the forest at night did the killing intent and sword intent appear in the forest, and this sword move truly had a soul.
"Yes, it is the sword intention and the killing intention. If there is no sword intention and killing intention, how can there be any sword moves?"
Zhuo Wei'an's eyes widened. He continued to look at the bamboo in the wind and rain. Now that he had the sword intention and killing intention, he was thinking about how this sword intention could fly like the bamboo in the wind and rain?
Is it the wind?
No, not only the wind, but also the rain!
The wind can blow the bamboo leaves, and the raindrops can also affect the posture of the bamboo leaves. When the raindrops fall on the bamboo leaves, the bamboo leaves will be hit and undergo more changes.
"It is the power of wind and rain that together form this sword move with sword intent and killing intent!"
Any more?
Zhuo Wei'an vaguely felt that there was something else that he hadn't thought of.
Because, he once again remembered another sentence from Luo Ye: "Bamboo grows faster at night, and if it is after rain, it will grow faster."
grow?
Will it grow faster after a rainy night?
what for?
…
In the wind and rain.
A carriage drove towards the Xiping Palace.
inside the car.
Yun Aai looked at Ning Xiu, who was still sitting in front of him, and said with great interest: "That young man was so brave just now. He just smashed Ding Shangshu's martial arts hall. I asked him if he wanted to help, and he actually agreed. ”
"Yeah." Ning Xiu nodded.
"Your Majesty, don't you want to say something?" Yun Aai tilted her head.
"Xiu'er will definitely follow Aunt Yun's instructions." Ning Xiu replied seriously.
"Hey, it's like this again, so boring!" Yun Aiai felt a little disappointed, and opened the car window again, looking at the wind and rain outside, as if saying to herself: "The prince really shouldn't be so self-disciplined."
"My father said that those who practice martial arts should exercise self-discipline."
"Yes, the prince has indeed done very well in martial arts. He broke through the second realm of life at the age of nine. Who in Taihua Capital dares not to praise the prince as a genius in martial arts?"
"..." Ning Xiu didn't say anything, he didn't care about this.
"But you are so self-disciplined and such a talented person, will the Holy Emperor dare to let you go back to Lingzhou? What if you become the next King of Xiping?" Yun Aai sighed: "So the prince should be more dandy. It would be best if you can cause some trouble, if you can offend all the nobles in Beijing, that would be the best, you will definitely be driven back to Lingzhou."
"But they didn't offend me, so how could I offend them?"
"To offend such a simple thing... Oh, let's not talk about the offending thing first, let's just talk about the dandy. It's okay to be a little dandy, right?" Yun Aiai was helpless.
"My father said that those who practice martial arts should keep themselves clean. If they are too frivolous, their mood will change. How can they go further in the martial arts?" Ning Xiu didn't understand.
"Well, this is indeed a contradiction!"
Yun Aai felt a little uncomfortable. She had received the prince's secret order and came to Taihua Capital to teach Ning Xiu.
As a result, she immediately became a bad learner.
I have been lazing around all day, unable to sit or stand.
From time to time, he even ran outside to 'watch the fun' and deliberately 'cause trouble'.
But Ning Xiu is still the same as before. He still gets up in the morning to practice swordsmanship and studies in the evening. His sitting posture is always upright, neither crooked nor slanted.
Not to mention getting bad, he is so self-disciplined that it makes people feel distressed.
So angry!
Yun Aai pouted her mouth and didn't want to talk anymore.
Ning Xiu noticed that Yun Aai was sulking, and after thinking about it, he tentatively said: "I heard people say that the children of aristocratic families like to live in a world of wine and debauchery. If Aunt Yun thinks this can turn bad, I will go to the place of debauchery. Do you think that's okay? "
"Okay." Yun Aiai was happy immediately, but suddenly she remembered something: "No, you are only nine years old. You can't go to that kind of place. You have to wait until you are twelve or thirteen at least."
"Well, then I'll listen to Aunt Yun and wait until I'm twelve or thirteen before going."
"But that's too long, right? Actually, it's not completely impossible now. We can get used to it first. Hey, it just happened that I haven't drank for a few days." Yun Aiai changed the subject and shouted outside: " Turn around and go to Baihua Tower!"
"Miss Yun, His Royal Highness cannot go to that kind of place." The guard didn't listen this time.
"You're just drinking some wine. Are you afraid? Go quickly. If you dare to be nagging again, I will drive you back to Lingzhou." Yun Aai threatened.
"Drive!"
The carriage began to turn.
Yun Aai looked at Ning Xiu with a proud look on her face and said, "Your Majesty, did you hear that?"
"What?" Ning Xiu didn't understand.
"The tone of what I just said? Didn't you hear?" Yun Aai was so angry that she covered her chest with one hand, but it was shaking so hard that she couldn't cover it.
"heard it."
"Then you learn one."
"If Aunt Yun dares to be nagging again, I will drive you back to Lingzhou." Ning Xiu imitated Yun Aiai's tone and said with a fierce expression.
But because the temperament is too gentle and elegant, it has a bit of a milky and milky taste.
"Pfft." Yun Aai was amused: "Very good. When we go to Baihua Tower later, you will speak in this tone. This will make you look like the crown prince of Prince Xiping's Palace!"
"Okay." Ning Xiu nodded obediently.
"Come on, let me show you another one."
"（￣へ￣）"
"Hahaha..." Yun Aai turned over with a smile.
However, while smiling, she remembered one more thing.
She remembered that the Baihua Tower was also the property of Ding Shangshu. The nobles in the capital were too corrupt after all. A Baihua Tower had sucked away a lot of gold and silver.
It would be great if that young man just led others to smash and rob Baihua Building.
However, if Baihua Tower is really smashed, the entire Taihua Capital will be shaken, right?
After all, who is drinking in Baihua Tower at this time and who is not rich or noble?
All the nobles in Beijing were offended at once, but thinking about it, it should be impossible!
Yun Aai didn't think any more and lay down in front of Ning Xiu: "Oh, I'm tired. Let's take a nap."
Open your eyes secretly again.
It turned out that Ning Xiu had begun to memorize the text silently with full concentration, and there was no expectation at all of visiting a brothel on his face.
Hey, who can turn such a person into a bad person?
…
Bailu Terrace.
In addition to the sword marks on the ground, there was also blood that had not been washed away by the rain.
The woman in the white dress sat cross-legged on the rainy ground quietly, her face turned slightly pale, and there were some blood stains on her original white dress, which looked like she was injured.
The white deer was kicking the wooden box on the ground with its hooves.
The wooden box was kicked open.
There was nothing inside, not even a piece of tissue paper.
Bai Lu sprayed out two streams of mist from his nose, looking very angry, and made a voice like a baby: "Why is there nothing? There is no "Taiping of Peace" at all, Xian'er, we have been deceived!"
"Oh, of course there is nothing." The woman in the white skirt seemed to have expected it: "This senior sister of mine will not really gamble with the "Taiping of Peace"."
"Speaking of the "Taiping of Peace", actually, there is another one in the capital. Let's go grab it, right?" Bai Lu said again.
"I know." The woman in the white dress nodded, and then said: "But the "Peace Picture" was given to him by the prince, and it is legitimate. How can I snatch it away?"
"But it's useless in his hands, isn't it?"
"Even if it's useless, it's still his!"
"Okay, I'll just talk about it casually. By the way, what kind of technique did 'Nangong Xue Niang' use when she escaped just now? I couldn't catch up with her at all."
"It's witchcraft."
"ah?"
Bai Lu was startled and was about to ask again.
Suddenly sensing something in his heart, he turned his eyes behind him, and then lowered his head: "I've seen the young master!"
