Chapter 16 Mind


Chapter 16 Mind

After the waitress left, Li Hao stopped playing chess and stood up and walked towards the courtyard.

Li Fu also stood up. When Li Hao stopped talking to him, he returned to his expressionless military appearance, like a silent shadow, following Li Hao like a shadow.

He had asked the servants in the mansion about the previous assassinations, learned about them carefully, and felt a little scared.

Especially when he was playing chess with this child these days, he knew even more clearly that the position he was sitting in now was the position where the assassin had been.

There is only one chessboard apart.

Such a distance is enough to kill a child instantly when he is full of flaws and not paying attention!

But such an assassination was actually stopped. I don't know if I should say that the assassin was incompetent, or that the senior member of the clan who took action to resolve it was too terrifying, or that this child was really lucky!
Therefore, Li Fu took this as a lesson and stayed with Li Hao even when he was eating, drinking, or sleeping. Any servant or maid who came within three feet of Li Hao would be severely scrutinized by his hawk-like gaze.

This also made the servants and maids in the courtyard complain secretly. Every time they reported something to the young master, they were so trembling that they didn't dare to raise their heads... They were almost introverted.

Seeing Li Hao approaching, Bian Ruxue, who was practicing the sword, puffed out her mouth slightly and turned sideways, as if she didn't want to be seen by Li Hao.

Li Hao looked at her aggrieved look, smiled, asked the servant to bring a small bench, brought some pastries and fresh fruits, and sat next to her to eat.

"You can't defeat others if you practice your sword half-heartedly." Li Hao said with a smile when he saw the little girl wielding the sword in a messy manner, obviously absent-minded.

Bian Ruxue's eyes suddenly turned slightly red, she stopped her sword, lowered her head and said: "Brother Hao, it would be great if you could practice. With your intelligence, you will definitely surpass me in swordsmanship and become the best person."

After practicing in the martial arts field for a year, Bian Ruxue grew up rapidly. As he grew older, his mind began to mature, and he gradually understood why the adults looked at Li Hao in that way after the bone measurement.

I also understand what Li Hao lost in that year.

Hearing Xue'er's words, Li Fu frowned slightly, and there was a trace of regret and regret in the depths of his emotionless eyes.

Isn't this a pity for the Li family and a pity for Marquis Xingwu!

Li Hao felt a little helpless. He was not sad, so why was this little girl sad instead.

"Don't say that."

Li Hao comforted him and said, "It's so boring to practice swordsmanship. Look at you, you are exposed to the wind and sun every day. It's winter and summer. It's so tiring. It's not like me. In the summer, I eat iced melons and play chess in the pavilion. In the winter, Huddle up under the quilt to keep warm, and sleep until the sun shines on you. This is happiness! "

Li Fu couldn't help but glance at this kid, it really seemed like he could say something.

Without Marquis Xing Wu by his side, the wives of other houses were not able to discipline him strictly. When he came back, he noticed that the child's temperament was already a bit cynical.

"You are not afraid of hardship." Bian Ruxue raised her head and said.

"What do you know?"

Li Hao said angrily: "Look at me now, I am too lazy to even stand here. I will never stand if I can sit, and I will never sit if I can lie down. There is no point in eating hard, otherwise why would I want to be sweet? I am still young. , I don’t understand, just practice your sword well.”

"Don't talk nonsense."

Li Fu couldn't stand listening anymore and couldn't help but scolded.

What the hell are you saying, there's no point in enduring hardship? None of the soldiers at the frontier are suffering.

As a warrior, the last thing you fear is hardship. You only fear not having talent or resources.

This kid is good. He is blessed amidst all the blessings. He has no talent and dislikes hardship. He doesn't learn well on his own. How can he lead a girl like Xue'er astray now?

Li Fu saw Bian Ruxue's talent in kendo. He was very outstanding. He would definitely achieve great achievements in kendo in the future, and would also become a protective umbrella around Li Hao. He couldn't watch this bastard kid take his own There is no future to rely on.

"Uncle Fu, I think Brother Hao is right."

Bian Ruxue quickly spoke for Li Hao.

Li Fu's eyes widened and he became even more angry. This girl listened too much to Li Hao. If she really led Li Hao into trouble, it would be the end.

"Don't say such nonsense to Xue'er. Boy, don't think that I don't dare to beat you. If I beat you, your father will say hello!"

Li Fu couldn't bear to lose his temper with the well-behaved little girl who had lost her parents, so he had to severely threaten Li Hao.

Li Hao smiled, knowing that he had nothing in common with this serious and rigid guy.

Moreover, Shenjiang Mansion is a military family, and the Li family has always advocated the spirit of frugality and hardship.

Even though the ladies in each academy are well-dressed and well-fed, making them the envy of the world, with the status and wealth of the Divine General's Palace, they can actually live even more extravagantly.

And the aunt He Jianlan has been vegetarian for two days a week for many years. The soldiers have killed countless people. She does not believe in Buddhism. She only says that she uses this to warn herself and her children not to indulge in the prosperity and wealth and forget the duty of a soldier. Harmony.

"Yes, yes, that's what Fu Bo said."

Li Hao said to Xue'er, "Look, you've made Uncle Fu angry, so why don't you practice your sword quickly?"

Xueer blinked her little eyes and puffed her mouth slightly. It was obviously Brother Hao who caused this.

However, she did not defend herself. If she could take away Uncle Fu's anger for Li Hao, she would be happy.

Hearing Li Hao's shameless words, Li Fu almost laughed angrily and rolled his eyes. This kid is really difficult to discipline.

"Uncle Fu, please help me and give me some pointers on Xue'er's swordsmanship." Li Hao said to Li Fu.

Li Fu said calmly: "I am a knife user, not a swordsman."

"The swords are the same, there's not much difference." Li Hao said with a smile.

"What do you know? Weapons must be trained to perfection. Even a slight difference will make an infinite difference." Li Fu said unhappily, but then he held back his temper. Forget it, this kid doesn't understand martial arts, so it's normal to treat him like this. .

Li Hao felt helpless, so he could only continue to eat the fresh fruit, cross his legs, and watch Xueer practice her sword.

"I don't think your roundabout style is right."

Halfway through, Li Hao pointed at Qi Bian Ruxue pretending to be casual and said, "It would look better if the arms were pulled down a little further."

"Don't talk nonsense, it will disturb Xue'er." Li Fu frowned.

A layman guiding an insider? This is simply outrageous!

Bian Ruxue ignored Li Fu. She was used to Li Hao's casual guidance. Although Brother Hao had not entered martial arts, she did feel smoother every time she practiced as Brother Hao said.

At this moment, she lowered her arm and used the maneuver again. As expected, she felt as if she had understood it in her heart. Li Fu let out a sigh, not because Bian Ruxue really obeyed Li Hao and did this. After all, this little girl was too obedient to Li Hao, but because the posture, as Li Hao said, changed slightly, and it really made Li Hao do it. The sword's power was a bit more fierce.

He looked down in confusion at the boy who was chewing fruit and crossing his legs in an unruly manner. Was it a coincidence?

Or is he judging based on good looks?
"You have to exert strength on your waist. In this kind of swinging long chop posture, you need to use not only your hands, but also your waist and arms to throw it out." Li Hao added.

Bian Ruxue nodded slightly, and immediately used it again, several times in a row, and finally mastered the key. The sword was full of wind, and it was obviously more powerful than before.

Li Fu raised his eyebrows and was surprised. Once was a coincidence, but twice was not.

Could it be that this kid really understands swords and has a talent for swordsmanship?

Although Li Fu was quite dissatisfied with Li Hao's temperament, he had to admit that after contacting him for the past six months, this child was very smart, with maturity and wisdom beyond his peers.

Could it be that he actually has a talent for swordsmanship, but he can't use it because he can't practice martial arts?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel heartbroken. If this was really the case, what a regret it would be!
With Li Hao's casual guidance, Bian Ruxue's sword technique gradually became perfect.

There was no way, with Li Hao's understanding of swordsmanship, he could record Bian Ruxue's high-grade swordsmanship into the panel with just a few glances, and then directly reach the perfect level.

He gave instructions with the ultimate understanding to make up for the flaws, even skipping perfection. As long as Bian Ruxue mastered a little bit, he could achieve power comparable to perfection.

Later, Li Hao asked the little girl to practice the move that he had failed in before.

Bian Ruxue obeyed the instructions.

Li Hao understood it as soon as he saw it, and even imagined in his mind how the opponent would defeat him.

However, he didn't say it out loud. After all, with Li Fu beside him, it didn't matter if he showed some talent in swordsmanship, but if he was too careful, he would look too evil.

"This sword doesn't look good. I think the downward slash here should be changed to a slope, and the elbow should be raised back."

"It's better to change from chopping to straight thrust here. Don't shake your wrist."

Li Hao Zhuangruo pointed casually.

Bian Ruxue was confused, listened carefully, and slowly understood Li Hao's words, and then practiced it again, over and over again, gradually getting closer to Li Hao's description.

Li Fu glanced at Li Hao, and he was already convinced that Li Hao also had extremely high talent in swordsmanship.

Although this kid's expression was very amateurish, and he only used "good-looking" and "not-good-looking" to correct Bian Ruxue's movements, but being able to perceive the beauty of weapons at a young age is not a talent.

After all, in the eyes of genius, some things are another sight.

Li Fu sighed secretly in his heart and felt sorry for Li Hao even more.

The next day.

The two of them went to Changchun Academy to have an early dinner, and then Bian Ruxue rushed to the martial arts field happily.

After the morning practice and morning classes at the martial arts arena, Bian Ruxue found the concubine boy from yesterday. The little girl was holding a sword that was similar to her own height. Her face showed seriousness, and she wanted to challenge again.

Hearing Bian Ruxue's words, the young man couldn't help laughing.

The other young commoners who gathered around him also started laughing and ridiculing him.

They don't dare to provoke other direct descendants, but Bian Ruxue is not a direct descendant of the Li family after all. She is just the fiancée of a direct lineage, and she is still unmarried. Moreover, that direct lineage is still a trash whose reputation has long been spread in the Shenjiang Mansion. In the future, any of them will One person will surpass the other.

Therefore, it is natural to dislike the guy sitting on the treasure mountain, enjoying endless resources and pampering.

"You were defeated by Brother Bai yesterday. Haven't you learned a lesson yet?"

"If you want to stand up for that loser, let him do it by himself if he has the ability. Brother Bai doesn't need to take action, I'll let that loser use both hands!"

"Humph, Brother Bai was already merciless yesterday, but he still doesn't know what to do."

"Although your talent is good, Brother Bai has been practicing here for eight years and wants to take revenge. I think you will be successful in half a year, but Brother Bai should no longer be here by then.

Bian Ruxue bit her lip and stared at the young man in the middle seriously: "Do you dare?"

These words immediately aroused the young man's blood. The young man named Brother Bai, whose full name is Li Dongbai, is one of the three most talented among the commoner children in the martial arts field. He has a seventh-level combat body and enjoys resources close to his direct lineage. He has already stepped into the Zhou Tianjing.

However, the skill competition stipulated in the martial arts arena requires that the stronger party's cultivation level be suppressed to the same level as the weaker party.

And Bian Ruxue's current cultivation level is at the tenth level of Tongli realm!
"I will let you lose clearly today."

Li Dongbai's eyes were cold. He had no intention of provoking this little girl with extraordinary talent. He was just chatting about something with the people around him. He happened to mention that trash and expressed a few words by the way, and then the little girl came to him. .

Although he is a son of a commoner, he still has a very high spirit and naturally will not apologize for this, which is why yesterday's contest took place.

"bring it on!"

Li Dongbai stood on the stage of the martial arts arena.

Soon, the outside of the stage was filled with people, and everyone was very interested in watching the competition between these two common geniuses and the peerless genius girl.

Outside the field, the instructor at the martial arts field, an old man in the army, smiled and narrowed his eyes, encouraging these young and energetic little guys to compete with each other.

The edge of a sword comes from sharpening. If you don't fight when you are young, there will be no setbacks and no progress. You can't wait until he is his age and old bones to fight against others.

Soon, two figures, one large and one small, were fighting fiercely in the field.

The old man in the army had seen the same scene yesterday, and the difference today was not big, except that Li Dongbai's attack was a bit more fierce.

"It seems that Xue'er is going to lose again." The old man in the army thought to himself: "After all, cultivation is too short. Although the talent is excellent, it needs to be sharpened after all."

At this moment, figures in the field intertwined, and the most intense sword was used.

With a bang, a sword flew out, rolled outside the ring, and stuck diagonally in the sand.

And the figure on the ring was also frozen.

Also frozen in time were the sounds of cheering and cheering for both sides from under the ring.

And the smiling face of the old man in the army.
