Chapter 20: Who Rises and Falls?

On the second day, I came to the martial arts arena as promised.

Cheng Hao still arrived early, and this time, there was a piano in front of him.

He didn't talk much nonsense. Tell me directly that I should practice playing the strings along with the sound.

The sound of his piano is treacherous, one moment like a pearl entering the plate, another moment like a breeze passing through the ears, a moment noisy and chaotic, and a moment faint and dashing like a whisper.

I was in a hurry, and the hand pulling the strings seemed completely unresponsive. Often a song is full of dripping but still doesn't understand the essentials.

At this point, he shouted a loud scolding.

I held back the grievances in my heart and kept practicing. It took another two hours of practice before I stopped.

I saw that Cheng Hao's face was not good, and I didn't dare to say more.

After meeting Qinghe, Fang Zhihua's words were killed last night!

"Who is it?" I instinctively thought of Cheng Luan.

"Yes...... The Night Shadow King. Qinghe hesitated.

I was shocked. He didn't speak for a long time.

Hua Zhiyan died when he was a son, and the prince of Yeyou was separated from me.

Who is to blame for him? And who is it good to blame the Night Ghost King?

Thinking about it, there is only Chengluan. However, Cheng Luan will have such a great ability to evade the secret guards arranged by Cheng Hao and successfully kill Hua Zhiyan?

From this point of view, the Night Shadow King is definitely not Cheng Hao. Otherwise, why would he kill someone who was in his favor?

Den.

I gave my doubts to Cheng Hao.

Cheng Hao slanted his eyes up at me: "You mean, you saw the Night King last night?" Still with him for an hour? ”

His words were stiff, as if he had changed back to the indifferent prince he had before.

"Yes." I confessed. There are many things that I don't want to hide from him.

Cheng Hao looked at me for a while, and his purple eyes shone brightly: "Then how do you know that with the ability of the Night Shadow King, he will not go to Washington to kill Hua Zhiyan after separating from you?" ”

I really didn't think about that.

"Jinse, you are a smart woman, so don't be blinded by love!"

This sentence shocked me inexplicably, isn't what he said exactly what I am most afraid of? Suddenly, I found that I really believed in the Night Ghost King.

Cheng Hao's words are not unreasonable. Therefore, he can't be the Night Ghost King.

For some reason, I feel a little depressed when I think about it.

Seeing this, Cheng Hao said leisurely: "You don't have to worry, you will see people's hearts for a long time, and there will always be a time when the water will come out." ”

After speaking, he threw me two books and said, "After reading it in two days, this king will come to test you." ”

Then he waved me out.

I picked up the book, one is "Military Strategy", the author is "Beipo Immortal" - I have never heard of this person, it sounds like a master of the world, but he writes about military strategies, which is really incredible. The other is "The Ancient Formation", no wonder the formation outside the Shuiyun Ju is exquisite!

Pushing open the door with the word "soldier" written on it, I sat down at the table and poured a pot of cold water into it, and my mood gradually calmed down.

At this time, it is possible to think carefully.

Thinking of what the Night Ghost King did before, he would kill the villain, and then appear in front of me with his hands covered in blood; Every time Cheng Hao was mentioned, he scoffed; Last night, he specially told me not to get too close to Cheng Hao - is it really him?

I couldn't believe it.

In the past two days, in addition to going to the martial arts arena to practice archery, I studied "Military Strategy" and "Ancient Formation Strategy" in the room. I know that it is useless to think too much about everything, just like Cheng Hao said, the truth will eventually come out.

What we have to do now is to make ourselves stronger.

I don't want to be the Jinse who was designed and killed by someone, but I was powerless to resist. My life must be in my own hands.

Cheng Hao didn't say anything except let me practice archery in the past two days, nor did he laugh with me like before. I forced myself not to think about it.

Two days later, I came to the study as promised.

Cheng Hao is writing something at the desk, I rarely see him writing, I guess there is something important. Because of his leg disease, the lord of the kingdom also exempted him from going to the temple every day to discuss matters, and he did not need to write any excerpts.

Now he picked up the pen, and he didn't know what he was writing. I didn't want to disturb it, so I stood still and waited.

About a cup of tea, he folded the two pieces of cloth he had written, and carefully stuffed them into a bamboo tubeβ€”he was writing letters.

When he handed over the bamboo tube to Qinghe, my eyes swept over, and the three strong characters "Bai Muyan" on the bamboo tube jumped into my eyes.

Seems to be a woman's name? Isn't Cheng Hao not close to women?

I immediately thought of the woman Xiao Nan said who had come to the house and had dinner with Cheng Hao. I couldn't help but pout.

"What are you here for?" Cheng Hao said.

I smiled and said, "Didn't the prince say that he wanted to take my book?" How did you forget? "I thought I was laughing and laughing, but he didn't see anything.

"Hmm-" He only hummed softly and took a sip from the teacup on the table.

I didn't know what he meant, so I didn't answer.

"Why don't you say that?" He said again, he didn't look at me, just played with the tea cup casually.

I immediately understood, thought about it for a while, and said: "The "Military Policy" mainly lists the current military forces of various countries, among which the Li State is the center, and elaborates in detail the military strength of the Rongguo, Guyue and Zhiqi countries around the Li State. He believed that Qiu State, which was sandwiched between Rongguo and Guyue Kingdom, could be an ally of Li, and even wrote that the southern part of Liguo was close to the sea, and if the enemy attacked from the waterway, he would deal with it. Thinking about it this way, this Beipo immortal must be from the Li country, but I don't know who the master is? ”

Saying this, I secretly glanced at Cheng Hao, and saw that his face was the same, and he had no intention of answering me, Fang said: "The book focuses on the weapons of various countries, and distinguishes between the advantages and disadvantages in terms of construction methods and materials, and even conceives new weapons to win." It seems that he is also a master of equipment. ”

"What do you think?" Cheng Hao said.

"If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools, of course, it is wonderful. It's just that the material of this new weapon is called ...... Sulfur, this thing is unheard of, is there some talk on paper? I frowned.

After listening to me, Cheng Hao suddenly laughed, and I laughed inexplicably.

Seeing that I was puzzled, Cheng Hao didn't say much. He asked me a few more words about "The Essentials of the Ancient Formation".

Then he said: "In order not to let you talk on paper, after practicing arrows tomorrow, you can walk around the king's mansion and carefully study the arrangement of these stone mountains." ”

It turns out that these stone mountains in his mansion are a formation! I was secretly amazed.

Without waiting for me to speak, he added: "With your qualifications, is three days enough?" ”

Knowing that he was provoking me, I was not angry, and said calmly: "Ningyuan Wangfu is not big, two days is enough." ”

After saying that, he wanted to pull out his feet and leave.

Cheng Hao chuckled in the back: "Jin Se, your temperament, it's time to grind." ”

Puzzled, I looked up at him.

He put down the teacup: "The first time I saw you, you were upset for Yuan Qing, and then Mu Fu listened to your remarks, and also knew that you were both wise and brave, but sometimes you were a little anxious." ”

Seeing that I was pondering, he said slowly: "There are some things that cannot be rushed, and they must be thought out slowly. ”

I know what he's talking about.

The enmity of parents, the suffering of the people, the death of Hua Nian and Hua Zhiyan, and the identity of the Night Ghost King...... Which one is not as good as he said?
