"You see you're very hostile to those Xiyi?" Bai Yu asked.

"Hmph, the village was burned and my hometown was destroyed, since I survived, I must take revenge. When Shura said this, his eyes were full of persistence.

Bai Yu looked at Shura's expression and nodded slightly, and continued, "What you just said is not bad, the Luo people are not backward and weak as everyone imagined, on the contrary, they have their own magic skills. Dahan fought with them, and the situation was not optimistic. But now few people in the Han Kingdom can realize this, maybe the generals fighting on the front line have seen it, but those officials above the court, and even the entire royal family still do not realize this. ”

Shura finally showed some interested expressions when he heard Bai Yu's words, this young man was indifferent at all times, and under that indifference was suppressed hatred. No matter what happens, it doesn't seem to make him change his expression, as if his life is only for revenge. "It's rare to hear a prince say such a thing, I have never seen anyone think like this since I was rescued and arranged with the refugees to a refugee camp near Jinling, everyone is blindly optimistic and arrogant. ”

"yes, you're right. The Han Kingdom has been peaceful for too long, and the glory and wealth have been too long, so that the princes and nobles and civil and military officials have become accustomed to a stable life. In their eyes, the behemoth of the Dahan Empire could not collapse, and it was a great country of abundance that should enjoy prosperity forever. However, if the tall trees do not experience wind and rain, sooner or later they will slowly wither from the inside because they cannot absorb the nutrients from the soil. And now Dahan is like a towering tree, and the days of abundance have passed so long that those who sit on the court never realize that this tree has long been unable to absorb nutrients from the earth. ”

"What you say is too profound, I only know that the life of the common people is very hard, and this imperial city must be a lush and magnificent tree, and the other is a barren and cracked dry land. Shura nodded and said.

"That's right, my father and even the ministers have been enjoying this beautiful city for too long, and no one wants to go outside to see what this country is really like. Bai Yu nodded lightly and said, "As a prince, I originally wanted to try to change this situation in the future, so that this soil can be revitalized and this big tree can continue to live." At this time, he encountered an unprecedented enemy, and no one in power could see this enemy at this time. That's why I came here to learn swordsmanship, and when I finished my studies, I personally went into battle to lead the army to defend my family and country. ”

"I didn't expect you to have such ambitions, I thought that the children of the powerful in this imperial city were all rice buckets who only knew how to enjoy. Shura shook his head and said, "But you, the prince, how can you see the outside world?"

"I won't tell you the truth, I was born to the current emperor and the palace maid, so I can be regarded as a concubine. My mother was sent back to her hometown after the incident because she broke the rules of the inner palace, and she didn't want to go back to her hometown only to find out that she was pregnant. Because my mother was born in a remote village, I grew up in the countryside when I urinated, and I can be regarded as having seen the living conditions of the people at the bottom of this country. In the conversation with Shura, Bai Yu did not have the slightest arrogance of nobility, just like Shura's former brother and playmate in the village, and it was precisely because of this that Shura was willing to talk to him a lot.

"That is, a few years ago, I don't know why my father learned about me, a wandering flesh and blood, so he sent someone to take me back, but my mother still had to stay in the countryside and mountain village. Bai Yu said a little bitterly at this, "Although I am the prince, I can't be seen in that deep palace, and I don't want to mention the inheritance of the throne." But when I found out who I was, I was happy because I could finally do something for this country, to make a living in a country that was already decadent but didn't know it existed. So in the future, let's learn the sword together and drive the Naluo dog away first. ”

Shura looked at Bai Yu, nodded slowly and said, "Go to the battlefield and kill Luo Dog." ”

After that, Shura and Bai Yu began to practice kendo in the sword house, and two years passed in a blink of an eye. This day is an unusual day in Jianlu, because this day is the biennial sword test competition.

The study of Jianlu is a two-year period. Every two years, there will be a big competition, and after the students of the same period at the end of the two years participate in the big competition, the winner can choose to continue studying in the Jianlu, and the loser will end his studies in the Jianlu and leave this nationally famous holy place for practicing kendo.

At this time, a round platform near Jinhu was already surrounded by students wearing sword robes, although they were all standing upright and did not make a sound at this time, but their faces were all the same nervous and excited.

Because this sword test competition is not only an internal assessment of the sword house, but also an opportunity to show your ability to the world. Of course, in addition to those who came here for a semester and left just for a name, there are still many young people who are rushing to learn kendo in the sword house, in order to get the attention of the royal family, and from then on open the opportunity to rise to the top of the official road.

And every time there is a big competition, the royal family will send representatives to watch, which has shown the importance of the royal family to kendo martial arts and inspired the people to uphold the spirit of martial arts. However, whether it is really valued now is only clear to the parties themselves, but it is still a good channel to enter the official position by standing out from Jianlu.

At this time, Bai Yu and Wang Mo were also standing in the crowd, but at this time, it seemed that they were a little isolated, and there was no one around who wanted to get close to them. It's not because of Bai Yu, after all, the identity of the prince of Bai Yu and his gorgeous and somewhat excessive appearance, both men and women have a heart of admiration.

Even it is said that this prince was in the palace, and he was never troubled by anyone because of his status as a concubine, and even his half-brothers and sisters rarely disliked him, and even the current saint is very fond of this son who has been found in the countryside. And all this is because this white-feathered prince has an almost demonic face.

What disgusted the surrounding students was the commoner who called himself Shura who had been with Bai Yu for two years, and he was originally very dissatisfied with the exception of this sword house where the children of nobles could only study, and those children of the official eunuchs were already very dissatisfied. After all, in Jianlu, even the sons of wealthy merchants on one side are inferior to those children of official eunuchs, and they also pretend to be grandsons who nod their heads in front of them. But this Shura, every day is a dead face, no matter who he looks at, he has an indifferent expression, and his body exudes a terrifying coldness all the time.

For those second-generation officials who are accustomed to being high-minded, it has long been extremely angry that such a civilian dares to have such an attitude towards them. But when he was dismounted, he was shocked by this guy's murderous intent. Jianlu is not allowed to do it for personal reasons, and if you want to give him a good look, you can only have a chance when you practice in pairs during class. But in the past two years, there has been no such opportunity, and it was Bai Yu Gongzi who took the lead in inviting Shura to practice, and did not let those second generations who were unhappy with Shura find an opportunity at all.

And now isn't this the best opportunity? Everyone is waiting for this opportunity to teach this boy who doesn't know the height of the sky, and then waiting to defeat this kid and cut off his way to continue studying, and when he comes out of the sword house, isn't he being kneaded by those official eunuchs at will?

"Brother, the eyes of the people around you are quite 'friendly', huh?" Bai Yu whispered.

Shura didn't look around, and said, "Isn't it the same as always?"

"You have to be careful for a while, many people are waiting for an opportunity to clean you up. ”

"All of them, right?"

"You're not worried?"

"What are you worried about? My goal is to kill Luo Dog, how can I be afraid because of this?"

"Hehehehehe, yes, yes. But for a while, you have to show mercy to your subordinates, your sword killing intent is too strong, and it is not good to kill someone. ”

"Well, have you felt my killing intent?"

"Of course, every time I practice swords with you, don't I always face your killing intent?"

"I've never had the intention of killing you, so how can I have the intent to kill? Weak is too strong of killing intent, I'm just afraid that I really can't restrain it." ”

Bai Yu looked at Shura a little stupidly after hearing this, and only shook his head slightly for a long time and said, "Okay, when I didn't say it." ”
