Chapter Twenty-Three: A Restless Night
Yin Le pulled his head out of the book, and Lan Cui hurriedly stepped forward and pinched her shoulder.
Yin Le closed his eyes, muttered the sutra in his mouth, immediately shook off the clothes draped on his body, picked up the saber, and jumped in front of Pu Hong, leaving Lan Cui, who had lost his favor, sad: "Pu Hong, you teach me knife skills." ”
Yin Le's request, even if Pu Hong wanted to refuse, he couldn't refuse, so he had to nod helplessly.
Yin Le does not seek to practice peerless martial arts, but he begs not to delay at a critical moment, so he will continue to practice martial arts. And the reason for finding Pu Hong is that she needs an excuse to practice the pranayama method that she has learned thoroughly in her previous life.
The action of spreading red only played a demonstrative role, and the moves and styles of the two knives had long been deeply imprinted in Yin Le's mind.
Within a few days, she would be able to do the same as in her previous life. In addition, she practiced martial arts earlier in this life, and her foundation must be more solid.
After seeing Yin Le's series of flowing moves, Pu Hong put away the knife and watched with his back to watch Yin Le finish the knife technique she had just demonstrated smoothly.
"One move, three styles, one triplicate, the lady is doing a very good job." When Yin Le repeated it for the second time, Pu Hong smiled.
Lan Cui, who doesn't know martial arts and doesn't know how to judge martial arts, is at a loss, so he can only follow the spread of red and clap his hands vigorously, and his hands hurt.
Yin Le rolled his eyes and smiled, and when the smile bloomed, the gentleness of the Jiangnan woman suddenly appeared, and the heroic spirit when wielding the knife dissipated instantly because of this smile.
"Thank you for the compliment...... Yes! Pu Hong suddenly saw Yin Le's head tilted for a moment, and hurriedly stepped forward. saw Yin Le covering his head, and when his hand was removed, he was holding a stone in his hand.
"Who?" After making sure that Yin Le hadn't even scratched his skin, Pu Hong first put his mind at ease, and then looked around with a knife, but he didn't see anyone.
Yin Le's heart also hung in his throat, but after waiting for a long time, he couldn't hear the human voice, and the expression on his face changed from vigilance to doubt.
"Are those old people from the Toriido Hall?" Yin Le asked subconsciously, but looked at the two maids beside him and found that this sentence was equivalent to asking in vain.
Pu Hong shook her head, signaling that she didn't know.
I didn't know where the other party was, but Yin Le didn't dare to swing the knife again, so he could only put the knife into the sheath and returned to the house.
Before the lights went out, she looked out the window again, and all she saw was the infinite darkness.
Because of that stone, Yin Le didn't sleep well all night. The next day, she stepped on the wooden board on the third floor with dark circles under her eyes, and as soon as she sat down in her seat, the master next door was the first to speak.
"The interpretation of the Analects taught yesterday, but you understand it thoroughly?"
"Does the Master want a spot check? Is it a spot check for recitation or interpretation? Yin Le was positive, just waiting for the master to judge her.
The opposite side was obviously choked by Yin Le's excited question, and after a long time, Yin Le heard a chapter reported on the other side, so he closed his eyes and memorized everything he should memorize.
She finished reciting it, but there was no movement over there. Although Yin Le didn't feel that he was wrong, he still cautiously asked, "Master, did I recite it correctly?" ”
The voice over there was a little hesitant, so hesitant that Yin Le felt inexplicable: "You, when did you finish reciting?" ”
"Memorize a little before class, and then a little more after class, and finish it before it's time."
"I'm sorry about last night." The Master replied.
Yin Le's face was stunned with a capital letter, and then he heard the master continue to explain: "I went to look for you yesterday, and I thought you were not doing your job, so I gave you a little punishment. ”
"So......" Yin Le stared at the thick copy of "Spring and Autumn" in front of him, his lips trembled, "The person who scared me so much yesterday that I didn't dare to come out again is the master?" ”
Perhaps because she had been tested before, the master had finished teaching the Analects in two days and stopped teaching it. So far, Yin Le didn't know in which direction the master wanted to train her, but at least she was sure of one thing.
Since her ambition is not in the imperial examination, then these four books and five classics, even if she had never heard of them in her previous life, the master will let her taste them shallowly and never go deeper.
"Students are really cowardly, and if the teacher is wrong, students should not blame." The Master's apology was insincere.
Yin Le rubbed his head and rolled his eyes: "Master, your apology is really insincere. ”
The master talked about his methods left and right, coupled with his similar age, if he wasn't blind, Yin Le would have suspected that Song Yu was sitting next to him.
"Let's start learning Spring and Autumn." In the face of Yin Le's doubts, the master had no psychological pressure.
"Since you don't take the road of the imperial examination, it's useless for you to learn more about these things. But you can't stop learning, otherwise when you go to the capital, you will be blocked by those old stubborns and you won't be able to speak. ”
"If you want to be an official, you must know these classics. Dig deeper? Yes, but not necessarily. ”
Yin Le's gaze moved down the first line of the book, and he woke up the memory of his previous life a few glances ago. Hearing what the master said, she also pursed her lips and smiled, closed the book, and said, "That student thinks that "Spring and Autumn" doesn't need to take too much effort. If the Master doesn't believe me, I'll just memorize it now. ”
"Okay, you can listen to me behind your back." The master was not infected by Yin Le's self-confidence at all, so he should do what he wanted.

Outside Jinling City, Yuan Huan put on the reins of the horse and helped the King of Qin to get on the horse.
With the King of Qin's trip, in addition to a few cronies, there was also an observer Bai Chong, who aimed to supervise Zhang Gui, the prefect of Yangzhou, to clean up the bandits in Yangzhou.
In order not to disturb the surroundings, the King of Qin and the observer did not sit in a sedan chair, but went on horseback.
King Qin tugged on the reins, bowed his head and asked Yuan Huan: "How many days will it take for us to rush from here to Yangzhou?" ”
Yuan Huan lowered his head and thought about it, and replied: "If there is nothing to do along the way, half a month is enough." ”
King Qin nodded, whipped his whip and urged the horse to go: "Reveal this news to the Yan family, let them prepare first, don't be taken advantage of." ”
Although the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty was in the prime of life, disputes between the emperor's most powerful three sons had begun to emerge. Back then, Concubine Xian Niangniang blew the pillow wind for a long time, and finally won the opportunity to be transferred by King Qin, but this time the emperor gave him the task of suppressing bandits, obviously trying to use an excuse to recall him back to Kyoto.
In this place in the capital, King Qin received a lot of information along the way, and the major friends of the DPRK and China were already fighting in the party, and if he went back, the political situation would inevitably change again.
This time I went to Yangzhou, I don't know how many people were staring at him.
……
At dusk, Jimo was holding a food box, and just wanted to knock on Yin Le's door, he saw that the window of the room was half open, and a small head was looking around.
"Didn't I say that when you first came? Don't think about wandering around. Jimo put down the food box and went to break the half-open window.
Yin Le couldn't dodge and was caught. Before she could answer, she saw Jimo's hand propped up to the window edge, and the whole thing turned in from the outside.
