Li Xiao is still constantly exercising his martial arts and equestrian skills. As a general, this is the cost of eating. In addition, Li Xiao also worked hard to learn Chinese so that he could integrate into ordinary life.

Sheng Lai usually still looks like a son of a family, and he ignores Li Xiao, who is four or five years older than him. Forget Xinxuan's words about his good life and learning martial arts from Li Xiao.

The people who are usually kind to Li Xiaoping are Xinfan's father and son. Xin Fanping said that there is not so much time to deal with military affairs. Therefore, Li Xiao said that he asked Takeda Xinfeng to learn, and the progress was very fast.

This is so much so that Xinfan and Xinfeng father and son both look at Li Xiao with a kind of admiration, and now Li Xiao's language level is quite good, except for a few usage errors, there is no problem with simple communication - thanks to the teaching of av,** over the years.

In addition to studying Chinese literature, Li Xiao's level of sinology also amazed Xinfan, who has studied it quite a lot.

At that time, the ministers in the upper echelons of the book were all compared to 'admiring foreigners'. The 'foreign' and 'foreign' here naturally refer to China on the other side of the ocean.

The ministers took pride in being proficient in Sinology and writing Chinese characters, and this custom later spread to the samurai. In the Takeda family, for example, Xinxuan and Xinfan, both of them had a good cultivation of Chinese.

So sometimes Li Xiao and Xinfeng, the two teachers and apprentices, will often exchange roles, one teaches Chinese and the other teaches Chinese.

"Li Xiaojun, how do the words you write look different from those on the Han book, many words are missing a few strokes." Xinfeng saw that the Chinese characters written by Li Xiao on the sand table were different from those taught by Ping's father, so he asked in surprise.

Facing Takeda Shintoyo's question, Li Xiao laughed, he couldn't tell him that this was a simplified Chinese character hundreds of years later. Li Xiao opened his mouth to explain that this is another way to write Chinese characters, in order to write more fluently.

Anyway, this is in the book, and I am so nonsense, and I am not afraid of being exposed. Xinfeng obviously took Li Xiao's words seriously, and said with admiration: "You are really amazing, you actually know so much about writing." ”

While the two were talking, they suddenly heard someone outside the tent saying, "Is there really such a Chinese language?" How I don't know. ”

Li Xiao raised his head and saw that the other party was a man in his thirties, and his appearance was very similar to Takeda Shingen and Takeda Shinfan.

When Takeda Nobutoyo saw this man, he stepped forward in surprise and shouted, "Uncle." ”

Hearing Takeda Shinfeng say this, Li Xiao guessed in his heart that this person was Takeda Shingen's other younger brother Takeda Shinyan, who was also called Takeda Xiaoyaoxuan after becoming a monk. Because this person is similar in appearance to his brother, he can often also be used as a shadow warrior, and he was born outside as a stand-in for Shingen.

Although Xinlian himself was born in a samurai family, he is very knowledgeable and talented, especially good at painting and sculpture, simply put, he is the kind of general who can cut people on a horse and make poetry and painting when he gets off a horse.

Takeda Nobuyoru was very famous in later generations as a man of culture and a military general.

And Takeda Katsurai was following behind Xinlian, looked at Li Xiao, and said, "Uncle, this is the military general from the Ming Kingdom." After introducing Takeda Katsuyori, he whispered again: "Hmph, I don't know if it's true or not." ”

Takeda Nobuyoru glanced at Katsuyori, smiled, took out a small bamboo paper fan from his waist, and opened it with a pop, and it seemed to be painted with a picture of Yushan ink bamboo.

If this gesture wasn't for the other party's military general's dress, Li Xiao would almost regard him as a 'smiling prince'.

Li Xiao smiled, pointed to the Takeda Shinren fan and said to him, "Can you borrow the fan to take a look." ”

Takeda Nobuyoru nodded, handed the fan to Li Xiao, and then said: "I heard that the Ming country is splendid, please advise me on my clumsy work." ”

The other party is also very fluent in Chinese, not inferior to Takeda Shinshi, and the level of Chinese is also quite high.

Seeing that the other party said quite sincerely, Li Xiao was a little apprehensive in his heart, the level of his Chinese painting was not very good, let alone comment on the paintings of this master.

Takeda Katsuyori also said coldly on the side: "Uncle's paintings, in Beijing, even the ministers are vying to buy them, and your skills are low, don't slander my uncle's paintings at will." ”

Li Xiao ignored Takeda Katsuyori and took the fan to take a look, this Takeda Shinlian's painting skills are really very high, and even he, a person who can't paint, can see it. After the new rain in this empty mountain, the vitality of the growth of green bamboo, just a few strokes, it will float vividly on the paper.

Now Li Xiao is a little difficult to ride a tiger, it is impossible for him to say that there is a problem with this painting out of nothing, not to mention that he can't say it at his own level, if he doesn't say anything and returns it, he will also look down on the people of the Takeda family, and he will make Shenglai ridicule again.

Li Xiao smiled slightly, closed the fan, returned it with both hands, and said: "Your Excellency's painting skills are really first-class, and Ling Zai is impeccable." ”

Hearing Li Xiao say this, Takeda Nobuyo took the fan and nodded indifferently, and Li Xiao's words changed: "But it's a bit of a fly in the ointment." ”

Li Xiao's words made everyone confused, the front said that it was impeccable, and the back said that it was a fly in the ointment, which is not a contradiction. Just when Takeda Katsuyori was about to open his mouth to cheer Li Xiao, Takeda Nobuyoru waved his hand to signal that the other party didn't need to say much, and asked, "What do you say is the fly in the ointment?" ”

Li Xiao said unhurriedly: "I see that there is a large blank space in the lower right corner of your fan's surface, presumably this painting still lacks a good poem to attach, so I said that it is a fly in the ointment." It just so happens that I have the first word here, which is worthy of the artistic conception in this painting. ”

Takeda Nobuyo's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he hurriedly asked, "Please speak quickly." ”

Li Xiao nodded and walked to the camp tent, and said with a long chant: "Don't listen to the sound of the forest beating the leaves, why don't you chant and walk slowly, bamboo canes and mango shoes are lighter than horses, who is afraid!" A cloud of smoke and rain is Ren Ping's life. ”

Mo listened to the sound of Lin beating the leaves, and ...... Takeda Nobuyo read the words that Li Xiao read three or four times over and over again, and suddenly slapped himself on the thigh. Takeda Nobuyoshi hurriedly walked to the table, took a deep breath, lifted the pen that Li Xiao was writing with, and inscribed on the fan like a dragon flying like a phoenix dancing while reading the words.

After drying the ink, Nobuyoshi Takeda gently folded the fan, and then, as if no one was around, he sang and danced by himself, and danced for a while.

Xinlian's behavior is quite strange in Li Xiao's eyes, it seems that he is happy or sad to the extreme, and when his feelings need to be vented, he will dance like a sheep crazy.

Famous such as Oda Nobunaga, on the eve of the battle of the barrel Sasama that is related to the survival of the Oda family, Oda Nobunaga was sleeping in the quilt, and immediately got up after learning the news of Imagawa Yoshimoto's camp, and ordered the small surname to pour wine, drink cup by cup in the quilt, and after getting half drunk, he stood up and sang and danced the famous Noh (Tsumori) 'Fifty Years in the World' Yunyun, and then immediately sent troops to fight at night to break Imagawa Yoshimoto.

The words sung by Xinlian are waka, which belongs to the pronunciation of the medieval language, and Li Xiao naturally can't understand it.

But when Xinlian finished the dance, he sighed, shook the folding fan a few times, and said with emotion like a poet: "Chinese culture is really broad and profound, compared to the great poet Su Shici, the mysterious state in his poems, how can I compare with one ten-thousandth of my painting skills." ”

This Takeda Nobuyo's Chinese level is really good, this poem is made by the great poet Su Shi, which is sprinkled with freehand artistic conception is in line with this painting.

With that, he tied the folding fan around his waist, and then strode forward without saying a word. And Takeda Katsuyori, Takeda Nobutoshi saw that Li Xiao had convinced his well-known uncle in just a few words, and his eyes widened in surprise.

Li Xiao just clasped his hands to his chest and smiled reservedly, quite a bit of pretending to be B.

"Katsurai."

Takeda Katsuyori thought about it and was about to withdraw from the tent, when suddenly Li Xiao stopped him.

Takeda Katsuyori raised his eyebrows, as if he thought that Li Xiao was going to make things difficult for him. Li Xiao said lightly: "I know that you are prejudiced against me, and I don't care what others think, but you have prejudices about people and things, so your views must be biased and not comprehensive." I hope you take note of this phrase. ”

Hearing Li Xiao say this, Takeda Katsuyori snorted and said, "I don't need you to teach me these big truths. ”

"No, your father asked me to teach you martial arts, and since that is the case, it is my duty to teach you. It's like fighting against the enemy, if you can't face the opponent objectively and calmly, then you will lose without competition. If you've been like this all your life, you'll always be just a reckless man! ”

Hearing Li Xiao's harsh words, Takeda Katsuyori's face suddenly turned red, snorted heavily, and rushed out of the tent.

Xinfeng opened his mouth at this time and said: "Li Xiao, when you say this, is your tone a little heavier?" ”

Li Xiao shook his head, this Shenglai ridiculed himself three times and twice, he is not a temperamentless person, and he still said to Xin Feng lightly: "If the jade is not cut, it will be good for him in the future." ”

Xinfeng said hesitantly: "But after all, he is the son of the lord, not to mention that he is so anxious, if his mind is hot and he does something impulsive, it will be bad." ”

Li Xiao agreed, and the two went out of the tent together, and asked the guards to learn that Shenglai had ridden a horse and galloped all the way out of the camp.

The two of them secretly shouted that it was not good, and the neighborhood was full of spy reports and fine work from the Uesugi family, and it would be bad if something happened to Katsuyori.

So Li Xiao and Xinfeng each took five or six samurai cavalry and went out of the camp separately to find Shenglai.
