Mr. Lian's thoughts were racing, and he didn't speak for a long time, with a glimmer of water in his eyes.
She was arrogant and stubborn by nature and refused to cry in front of others. Soon, the glimmer of water disappeared from her eyes.
Sheng Hong saw it in his eyes, but without telling the truth, he shouted softly: "Master, I'm going to get the long knife!"
Mr. Lian took a deep breath, suppressed the surging thoughts in his heart, nodded and said: "Okay. Today I will teach you a sword technique. This is the real secret of the Lian family. It is the son of the Lian family, and also
Only those with the best qualifications are eligible to learn.”
Sheng Hong perked up and responded with a smile. He also joked a few words: "It turns out that Master has been hiding something!"
Mr. Lian raised his eyebrows and smiled: "How can I defeat a disciple like you without a back-up plan?" Then he said casually: "From today on, I will teach you the art of war every day."
The Lian family's military history is as famous as the Lian family's swordsmanship, and it has not been passed down to the outside world.
Mr. Lian never thought about teaching the art of war in the past. However, after this incident, the relationship between master and disciple became even deeper, so Mr. Lian simply put aside all scruples.
Sheng Hong was overjoyed and declined humbly: "The Lian family's military art is a secret that is not passed down to others. If the master passes it on to his disciples, won't he be scolded by his father, brothers, and uncles?"
Mr. Lian glanced at Sheng Hong with a smile but not a smile: "If you don't want to learn, just give up!"
Sheng Hong: "..."
Sheng Hong decisively raised his hands and thanked him: "Thank you so much, Master!"
…
Yin Xiaoxiao looked on with envy and muttered in a low voice: "The direct disciples are just different from the two named disciples like us."
What she and Xie Mingxi learned were also the swordsmanship of the Lian family. However, Mrs. Lian obviously only planned to pass on the so-called "secret not to be passed down" to Sheng Hong. They had no share!
Xie Mingxi didn't take it seriously and smiled lightly: "The sword skills taught by Master are enough for you and me to practice with concentration."
Yin Xiaoxiao curled her lips: "It is your fiancée who has learned the secret of not passing it on. Of course you are not envious or resentful at all."
Xie Mingxi: "..."
Xie Mingxi quickly replied: "I heard that there are many masters in the palace. After you marry the fifth prince, it will be very convenient for him to find another master for you."
Yin Xiaoxiao's glare was not fierce, only cute: "Xie Mingxi! We didn't tell the difference just now, let's do it again now!"
Yin Xiaoxiao is worthy of being the daughter of General Yin. She has fully inherited her father's brave and fierce temper. If she disagrees, she will use the sword!
Xie Mingxi raised her eyebrows and smiled: "Come just come, whoever is afraid of whom!"
The two of them each held a long sword and continued to fight.
Mr. Lian led Sheng Hong to the other side of the martial arts training room to teach him sword skills.
Yin Xiaoxiao said she was envious, but she actually followed the rules and didn't look up.
Xie Mingxi, on the other hand, occasionally glanced over. She was completely relieved when she saw that Sheng Hong was wielding the knife smoothly and energetically, and there was nothing wrong with it.
…
An hour of martial arts training goes by in the blink of an eye.
Mr. Lian left first as usual.
Yin Xiaoxiao slowly packed up the long knife and hesitated to leave.
Sheng Hong stepped forward with a smile and said affectionately: "A good horse needs a good saddle. I specially prepared a set of saddles for slowly, and I have ordered the guards to bring them over. They are just outside the academy gate. When you leave, take them with you.
superior."
When Yin Xiaoxiao heard this, her movements suddenly became numb. Before leaving, she winked narrowly at Xie Mingxi.
Xie Mingxi has never experienced what shame is in her life.
At this time, I felt my cheeks were slightly warm.
That little bit of heat dyed her fair cheeks with a faint blush. Even the best rouge in the world couldn't produce such an alluring color.
Sheng Hong took one look and couldn't move his eyes away again, staring at it for a long time.
Xie Mingxi waited for the heat to subside. When she looked up, she saw Sheng Hong staring at her with dark eyes: "Why are you looking at me like this?"
Sheng Hong was very honest: "You look good."
There was a trace of regret and dissatisfaction in Xie Mingxi's tone: "Actually, you look slightly better than me when you wear women's clothes."
Sheng Hong: "..."
In just one sentence, the charming atmosphere completely disappeared.
Sheng Hong glanced at Xie Mingxi sadly: "Why are you so annoying! We haven't seen you for many days, don't you want to whisper some affectionate words to me?"
Xie Mingxi rolled her eyes and returned: "What else is there to say!"
The two of them kept writing letters. Especially Sheng Hong, who had people deliver letters every night. It was like he was by her side every day and never left.
Without separation, how can we miss you so much?
Sheng Hong shamelessly stepped forward, held Xie Mingxi's hand, and expressed his feelings: "These days, it is really hard for me to be alone in the palace. Thinking of you studying and studying every day, I can't be by your side, and my heart feels empty."
Due to the strenuous exercise, Sheng Hong's palms were hot and wet with sweat. The same was true for Xie Mingxi. At this time, his hands were clasped together, and the sweat seemed to blend together.
My heartbeat speeds up involuntarily, and my breathing becomes uncontrollably rapid.
A pair of young men and women in love are alone in private. It is not easy to resist the urge to get close to each other!
However, this was the Lotus Pond Academy, and he had sworn that he would never be careless and abrupt before getting married. He had no choice but to put an end to the thought of leaning in for a kiss.
…
Sheng Hong changed the subject with a slightly hoarse voice: "Mingxi, from now on I will practice martial arts every night after school."
In this way, we can see each other every day.
Sheng Hong didn't know whether Xie Mingxi's heartbeat was as fast as his. But he could clearly hear the joy in her voice: "Yeah."
The joy in Sheng Hong's heart seemed to overflow from his chest.
Before we meet, we always think we have a thousand words to say. In fact, when we actually meet, we don’t need to say anything. Just holding hands and staring at each other is the happiest thing in the world.
After a moment of silence, Xie Mingxi opened her mouth and asked, "How did you feel about your first day at Songzhu Academy?"
Sheng Hong's expression was complicated, and he couldn't explain what he said.
Xie Mingxi suddenly became interested: "What's wrong? There must be one of your former admirers who happened to be your classmate!"
Sheng Hong: "..."
I guessed right!
Xie Mingxi smiled: "Hurry up and tell me."
Sheng Hong didn't want to talk about it, but couldn't bear Xie Mingxi's urging, so he had to talk about Zhao Qi: "...Li Mo was quite sensible, so he left after lunch. Zhao Qi and I are classmates, and I can't get rid of them even if I want to. This
One day, he kept looking at me and smiling silly at me."
"It was Zhao Qi who caused me to be scolded by Master Sun once in the morning. In the afternoon, the master who taught arithmetic was fair and called Zhao Qi out and scolded me. Only then did Zhao Qi calm down a little."
"I heard that Zhao Qi is talented and intelligent, and his aptitude is not inferior to that of Lu Chi. He is usually smart and smart, and is quite popular among his masters. I don't know why, but he acts like an idiot in front of me."
"When I think about seeing that silly face again tomorrow, I feel like I have a headache."
"He's a classmate after all, wouldn't it be bad to beat him up... Hey, hey, hey, what are you laughing at?" (To be continued)
