Chapter 32 (17)
Xuan Shuang could only smile bitterly, thinking that whenever he taught himself martial arts, he never explained the specific moves in detail. Even the only few sword techniques were asked to follow the secrets and "experienced by yourself". The only practice was that he would have to carry his sword to burn, kill and loot everywhere. Because his opponent was stronger once, if he did not concentrate on practicing martial arts on weekdays, his life would be unsuccessful.
Since he had a great life and death threat, he could not help but work hard. This martial arts has indeed made great progress, which has achieved much more than Li Yijie's repeated "laying the foundation" and step-by-step teaching. He sighed and said, "I am just listening to the formula in front of me. It's already so far. I have to wait for a while to adapt. When will I be able to practice it?"
Jiang Liechen said: "Everyone has different qualifications. Some mediocre talents have exhausted their lives and can only stay at the starting point. Unlike when I got the true book of the Seven Evils Art, I easily practiced to the third level. After that, I have to make a breakthrough, so that I can retreat and meditate." Xuanshuang said: "You are a genius! There are not so many geniuses in the world." Jiang Liechen said: "What genius! It's just an excuse used by ordinary people to make excuses. I tell you that diligence can make up for your shortcomings. You practice day and night, and come and see the results in a month."
Xuan Shuang was crying for a while, and then laughed so hard that she leaned back and forth, saying, "I will introduce you to talk to Master Tang another day. Both of you like to pay attention to the word "bitter"." Seeing that Jiang Liechen's face was cold and there was no joke, she didn't want to scold him again, "I don't know how to learn martial arts, and my mind is full of messes." She had to shut up obediently and find a secluded place to practice.
The mantra sounded like a slurry at first, stuffed into my mind, and I couldn't figure it out. After several days of repeated repetition, I finally could withstand the heat and cold and use the sword technique from the beginning to the end. Although it was very small, it had made some progress. Jiang Liechen was disdainful, which was expected. Anyway, except for the occasional gentle attitude between the two of them, he never said a good word. However, whenever Li Yijie saw him improve slightly, he would praise him in a mess.
A few days later, I no longer shivered when practicing, but my swordsmanship has not made much progress and has become a situation where I can't get up or down. When I am free, my mantras are turned around in my mind, and it seems that I can see something, but I can't touch or grasp it.
Once, he quietly wrote on paper, and stayed silently in the night, locked in a small room alone, lit a dim oil lamp on the table, supported his chin with his hands, and almost all his eyes were pasted on the paper. This was already memorable, but he had not thought deeply. He took advantage of the quietness of the evening to take apart each word one by one, and at the same time, combined with the similarities and similarities of the various organs of the body during practice, he gradually got into the way. At the end, he felt a sudden enlightenment.
But he valued face very much, especially in front of his enemies, and could not lose any face. So he hid everyone, got up early and went to bed late, practiced secretly, and waited for enough satisfaction before he officially auditioned for Jiang Liechen. The sword energy brought white lights at night, and any slight noise in the silence could be heard clearly, and his momentum was twice as strong as the daytime. Finally, he rose up when he closed his momentum, and his arms were waved out. Before he could see clearly, he saw a big tree in front of him fell to the ground, and dust filled with it.
Xuan Shuang half raised her sleeve and covered her eyes. What she thought of was that the martial arts master cut down all the big trees with just one sword energy. She was extremely handsome and had long hoped that she could have such skills. Jiang Liechen had watched quietly, and after Xuan Shuang urged her several times, she said: "You have passed the sloppy task. Just a few days ago, let's go with me."
Xuanshuang was really sad this time. As he said, he practiced hard day and night, and finally made him overjoyed. In his eyes, it was just a word of "sloppy". After a long time of depression, his mind suddenly lit up: No matter whether he appreciates it or not, the benefits of practicing a successful husband are always on his own. If he defeats Li Yijie at that time, he can say a few sarcastic words with a arrogant attitude. It will be a matter of time before he can.

In the center of power, the struggle will not stop for a moment. In the chaos, the palace has its own actions inside and outside. Cheng Jiaxuan often goes to the Regent's Mansion and truthfully reports, "Ling Beile always seems very tired recently. He yawns all over the world during the day. After practicing martial arts, his back and back hurts. My daughter has been careful for a long time, but she never sees any clues."
Dorgon said strangely: "Is he already planning in secret? Keep an eye on me, investigate closely, and get a reward if there is any situation!" Xuanshuang was exposed this time, no matter what happened, it was because everything was too ordinary that Cheng Jiaxuan couldn't catch the flaws. She dragged it back and forth in front of Dorgon.
On this day, Xuanshuang destroyed the "Renyi Villa". After returning to the palace, she was so tired that she fell asleep. The next day, she lay down until the sun was noon. Cheng Jiaxuan came to visit him several times, but he just waved his hand casually, pulled the quilt and hugged it in front of his chest, tossed and turned, laying up and down, continuing to have his dream. Later, she felt bored and bored, so she simply asked Cheng Jiaxuan to sit aside and talk about stories with him for fun. Her eyes were half-closed, and she looked lazy.
When he was drowsy again, he suddenly heard a sound in his ear, as if someone had stepped on rubble and walked slowly. The man thought he was cautious, but Xuanshuang's skills were not equally idle now, and any subtle sound could not escape his ears. He immediately widened his eyes and saw a black shadow passing by in front of his eyes. A shadow flashed in front of the door panel, and then disappeared. Could it be that Yinxue Palace had entered the assassin again? This time he was sleepy and he got up. He looked around and whispered: "Xiaoxuan, did you hear any sound just now?"
Cheng Jiaxuan was startled by him and blinked and said, "No! You were dreaming yourself, right? OK, I lied to tell you a story, which made me dry mouth. Are you sleeping comfortably on the side?"
Xuan Shuang snorted, grabbed a piece of clothing by the bed and put it on her body, tied the buttons, and turned over to the ground at the same time. She stepped into the front of the door and listened carefully for a while. Then she pushed the door panel slightly open a small slit, narrowed one eye, and leaned over. Cheng Jiaxuan felt funny and said, "What is this for? Do you still have to be a thief in her own home?"
Xuanshuang quickly made a "silence" gesture and pushed the gap wider. Then she saw Prince Fu and Shangguan Yaohua in the hall, greeting Shen Shiyun for a few words. The three of them sat down with their guests and answered their subordinates, and then closed the door tightly. Xuanshuang said "Huh" and said intimately: "Is the assassin coming to assassinate Prince Fu and wants to blame Yinxue Palace?"
After thinking about this, not only did he not feel panic, but he even had a little gloating. He said to himself: "Evil will be punished. This time, I asked you to try it, and it will give people the feeling of frame-up!" But hiding in the room, I was too impressed to hear it intermittently. After thinking for a while, I greeted Cheng Jiaxuan with a smile: "Hey, do you want to meet your brother Yaohua?"
Cheng Jiaxuan blushed and said angrily: "You are making fun of me! Besides, that's not something you can see when you want to see it." After saying this, she admitted that she was really moved. Xuanshuang smiled faintly and said: "I know magic, so that everything you want will come true." Thinking that she and Shangguan Yaohua are really brothers and sisters, the joke was afraid that it would come true, and she suddenly felt depressed.
Cheng Jiaxuan thought to herself, "You really have the ability, call him 'him... and ask him to marry me, treat me better." But she didn't dare to say these words casually. Even if Xuanshuang knew all the knowledge about her and Jiang Liechen, she still had the reserve of a girl's family. She helped him dress and wash and clean up everything, Xuanshuang walked to the door panel and whispered: "Prince Fu and his son are in the hall, and I don't know what to talk to that woman. Come and take a look."
Cheng Jiaxuan was skeptical. Although she was afraid that Xuanshuang would be happy with her, she was the probability of getting one out of ten thousand, and she didn't want to miss seeing Shangguan Yaohua. She told me a few times, "Don't lie to me" before she was willing to take a small step and look at the door.
Xuan Shuang called out, "Yes, yes, it's here." When Cheng Jiaxuan put aside her mind, she put on the door panel and suddenly pushed her hard. Cheng Jiaxuan was caught off guard and fell straight out, pushing the door panel open. Suddenly, several gazes in the hall were projecting towards her. Cheng Jiaxuan was embarrassed and bowed in a hurry. Shen Shiyun scolded, "What's going on? There is no rule!"
Shangguan Yaohua gently shook the folding fan, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said leisurely: "After you have been influenced by your eyes for a long time, you will inevitably do something extraordinary. It depends on whose maid she is."
Prince Fu also smiled faintly and said, "It's because the Empress is kind to rule, so the rules of Yinxue Palace are loose, and the master discusses matters, and the girls can interrupt them at will. In my palace, I will definitely not allow it. The minor ones are punished, and the serious ones will be punished for death." When he said that, his eyes were like two sharp swords, which fell on Shen Shiyun's face, and then slowly turned to Cheng Jiaxuan, as if they were to see how she ended.
Cheng Jiaxuan couldn't defend herself, but said that Xuan Shuang was deliberately making her ugly appearance. While laughing and apologizing repeatedly, she was about to close the door and calculate the accounts carefully. Xuan Shuang suddenly turned from behind her, walked to everyone without a sound, bowed slightly, and said with a smile: "What are you discussing? What secret meeting is you not invited me? I really don't give you face."
Shen Shiyunquan was not angry and frowned and said, "I am discussing important matters with several distinguished guests. Don't interrupt. The bigger the person, the more ignorant you are? Xiaoxuan, take him back to your room." Then he immediately said to Prince Fu: "Prince, the child is ignorant, so you can laugh."
Xuan Shuang glared at her eyes and said to herself, "You deserve to order me too?" Cheng Jiaxuan gently pulled his sleeve and whispered, "Master Beile, let's not be bored, let's go back to the room first." Xuan Shuang shook her hand heavily and snorted coldly, "Why, who doesn't welcome me? Pull out our theory!" This sentence was very loud, and everyone in the hall could hear it clearly.
Prince Fu smiled and said, "The Empress Dowager doesn't know anything, so let Ling Beile stay. He is his own person. There is nothing to avoid about our major affairs." Shen Shiyun frowned, as if she was extremely dissatisfied with Xuan Shuang's involvement in this matter. However, due to Prince Fu, it is not convenient to say more.
Xuan Shuang walked to the middle and immediately rushed to Shangguan Yaohua, pulled a chair, sat next to him, and said with a smile: "Prince Cheng, I will sit with you, won't you be welcome?" Shangguan Yaohua smiled lightly and said: "It's so great." Shen Shiyun's eyebrows were slightly twisted, and she raised her eyes to Cheng Jiaxuan who was standing beside her. Cheng Jiaxuan was also tactful, so she immediately stood behind her, lowered her eyebrows and lowered her head, crossed her hands, and put them in front of her abdomen in a manner that she was afraid of causing trouble.
Prince Fu laughed and turned the awkward atmosphere, saying, "Ling Beile is very talented, and I also admire it very much. Is it because of the great spirit of the palace that can raise such a dragon and phoenix. Yinxue Palace Guo has really emerged! Next, I wonder if the Empress hopes that I will say a few more polite words, or go straight to the point?"
