CHAPTER XXXV

(Girls' Literature) Su Qingjiang was puzzled: "Why do you want to learn the art of war?"

Bai shook his head and shook his head: "Some time ago, the student read Mr.'s book, which contains some views on military affairs, and he thinks it is very novel, and he is curious and wants to hear what Mr. has to say."

Su Qingjiang still hesitated: "But woman, it's useless to learn the art of war." For him, after all, all the women he has seen, whether they are noble or poor, will only learn some things about housekeeping, such as "The Female Commandment", such as three obedience and four virtues.

But this is not the case for Bai herself, she smiled and said gently: "There is no end to learning." Whether it is the "Yan's Family Motto" or the Four Books and Five Classics, isn't it a good thing to be able to learn? As long as it's not a sideshow, what do you still care about? ”

When Su Qingjiang heard this, he was shocked by her remarks, which even some of his students couldn't say, not to mention, from the mouth of his only female student. Su Qingjiang had to re-examine Bai Zi, and his previous impression of her in his heart was broken, but he hoped that Bai Zi could open his eyes.

Su Qingjiang made the final decision: "Okay, let's learn the art of war today."

*

Su Qingjiang: "I can know for myself, what does it mean that the soldiers will win?"

Bai Zi said eloquently: "It means: an army that is angry because of oppression." Or rather, it has come to an end. So much so that soldiers can only resist with their lives, so the saying that the fierce is afraid of not dying, is not entirely meaningless. ”

Su Qingjiang nodded, and asked again: "Then do you think that when fighting a war: time, place, and people, which of the three is more important?"

Bai Zi: "Human. If the time and place are lost, there is still the possibility of starting over, but if the people's hearts are lost, then if they have the right time and place, they will be even more unable to raise troops. ”

Su Qingjiang asked rhetorically: "Why can't you raise troops?"

Bai pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled, and said: "The people all believe in gods and Buddhas, and they all think that everything is destined in the dark. Therefore, if a person who loses the hearts of the people does not have the right time and place, the people will think that God chose him, so others will not choose him but will be punished by God. However, if a person loses the support of the people, but another person still has the right time and place, the people will think that the other person was born according to the will of heaven, and they will respect him even more. ”

Su Qingjiang: "What you say is not unreasonable, but how to guide the people to believe that someone was born with the trend?"

Bai Zizi smiled mysteriously: "People's hearts are blind, and if they are intentionally pulled, they will not deviate."

After Su Qingjiang and Bai Zi discussed this, they were not only impressed by Bai Zi's talent, but also benefited a lot, and said with a sincere heart: "It seems that the sage often says: 'If you are a threesome, you must have my teacher', the sentence is true, and it really opened my eyes." His words, attitude, and tone were extremely sincere, but Bai Zi was suddenly flattered.

"Sir, the students are terrified." Bai nodded by himself, half humbled and half teasing.

Su Qingjiang took a deep breath and made a decision: "In this way, in the future, I will teach you like a man, it is rare that you have the heart to learn, and it is rare that you have such understanding."

Bai Zi smiled: "Thank you, sir."

……

At noon the next day, Leshan Leshui came back, just in time for Bai Zi to have lunch, Leshan Leshui suddenly smiled apologetically at Bai Zi.

And when Bai looked at it, he knew that they had done it well.

Bai took a bite of a piece of tofu by himself and casually said, "Sit down and eat together."

Leshan Le looked at each other and was embarrassed: "This ......"

"It's not the first time, what are you shy?!" Shiro opened his mouth and took a bite of the duck meat on the chopsticks. Zhu'er listened to Bai Zi's words beside her, and was slightly stunned.

And Leshan Leshui glanced at Zhu'er, then sat down silently, and said to himself: "Zhu'er also sit down, anyway, this table of dishes is enough for a few of us to eat."

Zhu'er looked down and glanced at the ten dishes that filled the dining table...... Indeed, a few of them can't finish eating. Zhu'er sat down in a daze, after all, she had never eaten with her master before, and she didn't even have the experience of watching pigs run.

Bai Zi's expression was indifferent, and he stretched out his chopsticks to clip a piece of braised pork to Leshan Leshui: "Come, your favorite braised pork." I sandwiched another piece of chicken breast meat for Zhu'er and said, "Zhu'er's favorite chicken breast." Zhu'er was terrified: "Thank you, Miss."

Bai Zi looked at her with a smile and teased: "What are you afraid of, will I be able to eat people?"

Zhu'er bowed her head: "Zhu'er doesn't dare!" She only finally knew why the young lady had to put three more pairs of dishes and chopsticks here, she originally thought that Bai Zi was waiting for Mrs. and Gongzi to come together, but she didn't expect that it was actually the dishes and chopsticks of the three maids.

Bai Zi said to himself: "There is no need to be restrained when eating, otherwise, you will not be happy to eat."

Zhu'er squeezed out a smile and said, "Zhu'er knows."

Bai Zi: "Hmm." I ate another piece of green pepper, in fact, she found that the green pepper here is quite delicious.

Zhu'er picked up the chopsticks next to her stupidly, reflecting in her heart why she was afraid of Bai Zi, and respected her from the bottom of her heart, and obeyed her orders after listening to her orders? Perhaps, she can't see what is going on in her innocent heart, maybe, the more unfathomable people are, the more frightening they are?! Zhu'er still couldn't figure it out.

"How's it going?" Shiro spoke on his own.

Leshan: "Yesterday, I followed Xu Zheng to some places, including the heavenly prison, including the mansion of Han Zhong of Tongping Zhangshi, and Dali Temple, and also went to the palace." She paused and said, "However, there are some places where Leshui and I can't go in, and we're afraid of being discovered."

Bai Zi slowly reasoned: "Well, what did you find?"

Leshan: "When I found out that Xu Zheng went to Han Zhong's mansion in Tongping Zhangshi, Han Zhong was not at home, and Xu Zheng went in quietly."

"However, my subordinates and Leshui helped Xu Zheng, and I was almost discovered after entering Han Zhong's bedroom, so I took action and transferred the guards of the Han Mansion away from the mountain." After Leshan said this, he was a little weak-hearted, after all, he was afraid that Bai would blame them for taking it personally.

But Bai himself just said "um" and said, "Go on."

Leshan: "Last night, Xu Zheng stayed in Dali Temple all night, and it was a place surrounded by many headhunters, so Leshui and I felt strange, so we lay on Xu Zheng's roof. Leshui has good eyesight, so he wrote down the words in the book Xu Zheng reads one by one. After Leshan finished speaking, Leshui then spoke:

Xu Zheng was looking at an account book taken out from Han Zhong's mansion, as well as an unknown account book, perhaps from someone who traded with him. It was written that there were deals with many officials and the Huangshan faction, some of which included weapons and horses, and they were extremely numerous. Early this morning, Xu Zheng entered the palace with two account books. The subordinates felt that if the emperor sent someone to order an investigation, another group of officials would have to die. ”

Bai Zi: "You mean, Tongping Zhangshi Han Zhong has a rebellious heart?" These words seem to be asking Leshui, and it seems to be talking to oneself.
