It's night, the streets of the capital have been quiet, and the people have turned off their lights. Candles cost a lot of money, so oil lamps have to be saved. However, in the officials' mansions, there are still lights everywhere, and lanterns are hanging everywhere.
It was even more like this in the Daiguo Duke's Mansion, where the lingering sound of silk and bamboo reached my ears.
A courtyard was newly rebuilt in the inner courtyard. The hall was connected to the corridor and expanded into a more elegant stand. The faint fragrance of bamboo blended with the aroma of tea and wine permeating the seats. The young man sitting on the main seat had a dull expression.
, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, as if nothing could move him.
The singer sang softly and in a low voice. After a pause, Fang Zhen nodded in appreciation, picked up the wine glass, and toasted Su Ziji: "This music is good, but since Dai Guogong said that the songs and dances rehearsed in the mansion are good, it must be
Even better, I can’t wait to come uninvited and be the first to watch it.”
As he said that, Fang Zhen looked carefully and saw that Su Ziji was wearing casual clothes. Although he didn't look expensive, he was clean and spotless and had a leisurely look. He seemed to be smiling all the time, but suddenly he seemed to be a little melancholy.
, it’s really dazzling.
This kind of style is better than that of the prince back then, right?
"The prince is proficient in elegant music. I am really happy to have the prince here. Come and have a drink." Su Ziji also raised his glass from a distance. How could he not see that Fang Zhen came eagerly? In fact, the drunkard's intention was not to drink?
"A major case involving the King of Qi has occurred, and the medicine cache has been destroyed. The emperor will be furious, and the emperor is a suspicious person. It is certain that he will send people to investigate the situation between me and the kings."
"Fortunately, I have the Phantom Bead and I am at home now, so I am invulnerable."
"Now that Luo Jiang and Fang Zhen can meet, there must be a way to communicate the news, and my suspicion will be lifted." Su Ziji's expression was actually a little pale, but he couldn't tell because of the drunkenness.
It was really tight just now, so I just came out, and Fang Zhen asked to see me, saying that I came to watch some singing and dancing - who were I kidding?
"Speaking of which, although Luo Jiang was an informant, he obviously had a similar relationship with Fang Zhen. Although they both seemed to be working for the emperor, their backgrounds and backgrounds were different. In Fang Zhen's eyes, he was afraid that Luo Jiang was just a lowly official.
and so on."
This actually gave Su Ziji an idea. He looked at Fang Zhen, smiled, raised his glass and took a sip, and said, "It's just a newly rehearsed dance, it's nothing."
His attitude was somewhat familiar to Fang Zhen.
Could it be that you are not familiar with it?
This is clearly the attitude of the real rich and powerful towards the ants at the bottom. It is not that they look down upon them, but they are not even qualified to look at them, as if they are just tools.
Before coming, Fang Zhen was also thinking about some information he had received recently. He knew that although Luo Jiang was treated well in Dai Guogong's mansion, he was not reused. He only rehearsed singing and dancing. He was wondering if Luo Jiang was wary of Dai Guogong.
Luo Jiang?
If you were wary, you might not be able to see anything when you come here this time, but now that you have seen Duke Dai's reaction, Fang Zhen feels that you are afraid of misunderstanding Duke Dai. This is not like being cold-shouldered because you are wary of Luo Jiang's identity as a spy.
It was Dai Guogong who really regarded her as nothing more than a toy.
Anyone else might not be able to understand this, but Fang Zhen himself is the young marquis and comes from a noble family, so he understands and agrees with this.
"Yeah, so what if Luo Jiang is a genius swordsman? Being reused is just to look after our home and care for us. Of course, he can be reused, but he can also be left out in the cold. There are few powerful people, but there are as many wealthy people as crucian carp crossing the river.
Don’t worry about it at all.”
Thinking like this, Fang Zhen continued to laugh: "If you can be trained by Duke Dai, this dance must be good. Why don't you start now?"
Su Ziji clapped his hands gently, and the sound of silk and bamboo suddenly changed to a more tranquil tone.
A dozen girls were trotting lightly from the side. Their running postures were all very pretty and full of charm. As the sound of silk and bamboo rose upward, several girls first gathered and then dispersed. The most beautiful girl seemed to be in full bloom.
The fairy emerging from the blooming flowers has a cold expression and holds a soft sword. Her temperament is unexpectedly in harmony with the dance, and it perfectly matches the dance.
"Luo Jiang?" Fang Zhen straightened up slightly and watched the girl start to lead the dance. Although he had already guessed that Luo Jiang taught the maids of Duke Dai's palace to practice this dance, he really didn't expect that Luo Jiang would actually
I am willing to be the lead dancer.
"Although Luo Jiang is from the Imperial City Department, he is not completely tame. I didn't expect that in the Duke Dai's mansion, he would actually be willing to be the lead dancer and perform the duties of a dancer? Judging from his expression, he doesn't seem to be very repulsive?"
Fang Zhen was slightly surprised, but as the dance slowly unfolded, his attention was attracted by this beautiful sword dance.
No wonder Fang Zhen was fascinated by it, he really didn't expect that a murderous swordsman could really teach such a group of dancers to dance such a beautiful dance.
Su Ziji was sitting in the main seat, and when Fang Zhen showed genuine surprise, he just smiled.
Speaking of which, this was also Su Ziji's first time watching Luo Jiang's dance rehearsal. He had only seen fragments of it before, but now he watched it in full and secretly admired it.
Su Ziji lowered his eyes and saw half a phantom of red sandalwood: "Received the Luoshui sword teaching, [Purple Qi from the East] 300, level 12 (625/11000), and understood the movement of the inner Qi of Luoshui."
The sudden increase in experience made Su Ziji look at Luo Jiang with a deeper look.
"The Luo Shui Sword is actually just a martial art between the first and second rate. It is not even top-notch, but it is not even truly first-rate. But Luo Jiang can practice it to this level. He is outstanding and ingenious. It is really not easy."
The most important thing is that it is not just the first time that he has learned from her, but with his second-rate swordsmanship, he can still learn from her now, and he has gained something new every time. This kind of gain that exceeds expectations,
This made Su Ziji feel even more pity for Luo Jiang.
"This is the sixth time. The experience gained from her is still endless. Her talent is amazing. It would be a pity to only practice the Luoshui Sword."
In this world, there are people who specialize in swordsmanship, can be extremely proficient, and understand the true secrets, but in reality, even this is too wasteful.
With Luo Jiang's talent, if he could acquire more than one top-level swordsmanship, he would probably become a top master in just a few years. Instead of being like this now, where he only uses his talent to force swordsmanship, his improvement would be limited.
"But this is normal. She is just a chess piece trained by the government. No one wants her to exceed the limit and achieve great results. As long as it is enough."
Not to mention the government, even families, Taoist sects, and sects are divided into four types: direct descendants, concubines, sidekicks, and servants.
A servant is an outsider, learning some superficial skills, being a cannon fodder and a servant is serious.
Next to it are the side branches and some really considerate servants.
A concubine is a very close bloodline, but only heirs can pass it on directly.
If I accept you as my disciple, am I obligated to teach you?
Even Huo Yuanjia's "Mizong Quan" only taught his son and not his disciple Chen Zhen. Bruce Lee studied under his master, but he did not learn the true teachings of Xingyi Quan, so he had to create his own way.
This is still a world where no matter how good your kung fu is, you can be knocked down with one shot. Martial arts is just a piece of cake. Haha, in this world now, martial arts and Taoism are the core secrets. If you want to learn a move or a half, you have to pay for it with your life.
.
If I hadn't had a cheat, I might have been like Luo Jiang.
