Liking a thing is actually the same as liking a person. Many times we can't explain the reason. In the end, most of the words we blurt out are still "like", but the meaning is completely different. People who understand will understand it as soon as they hear it, and people who don't understand will think it. No matter how much it is, it’s hard to empathize with it.

Shen Kuang and Jiang Ning looked at the scene in front of them, and each smiled and shook their heads. Shen Kuang laughed that the temperament of warming the wine was very suitable for Uncle Han, while Jiang Ning laughed that the old man and the young man walking side by side had no objection at all. feeling.

————

After walking around in a circle, they finally returned to Tingxiang Garden. Shen Kuang felt very good. It was still Jiang Ning's small courtyard. As soon as the group walked in, a sensible maid and servant came over.

The rest of the people did not follow into the small courtyard, and there was no warm wine. There were only Shen Kuang, Jiang Ning, Han Zhongjing and the maid Chen'er. Jiang Ning ordered Chen'er to grab medicine and boil it according to Han Zhongjing's request, while she and Shen Kuang said goodbye. Went up to the small building alone.

As soon as he entered the small courtyard, Shen Kuang's long-hanging heart was finally relieved, but this made the pain in his body aggravate. He grinned and entered the room, followed closely by Han Zhongjing, who entered the room. The door is closed.

Without too many words, Han Zhongjing was not even curious about his contact with the building outside the building. The two sat cross-legged on the bed one after the other. Han Zhongjing's first step was to help Shen Kuang treat his injured internal organs. This was a meticulous job. , so Han Zhongjing did not borrow any help from others, and he has been focusing on it since the beginning of the treatment without saying anything.

Shen Kuang's injuries were not serious. In the battle with Zhao Fucheng, he won easily, so he did not suffer much injury. But the battle with the Black Sword Attendant caused him to suffer a lot, even a lot. There were times when he had to trade injuries for injuries before he could breathe, and the sword that sealed the victory in the end drained the remaining energy from his body, which was extremely painful.

He has been practicing this sword since he was a child. The sword of heaven and earth actually does not have an accurate name for this sword technique. The master never said it. It was only later that Shen Kuang learned that it was the Seven Star Sword Technique. The final form of the sword. The sword of heaven and earth emphasizes the meaning of the sword, and everyone understands the meaning of the sword very differently, so there is no traditional formula.

In the past, when his master taught him this sword technique, he also said that the practice of this sword cannot be memorized by rote and only focus on the shape of the sword and ignore the true meaning.

At that time, Shen Kuang didn't understand any of this. He was just practicing swordsmanship in a rigid way, but he didn't really like it. So at that time, his sword had no sword meaning. Later, he gradually fell in love with swordsmanship. I fell in love with the feeling of holding white clay in my hand, and I even liked the chivalrous world described by the old storyteller in Goulan Teahouse.

A great chivalrous person serves the country and the people. The master also said the same thing.

If we want to truly exert the true power of this sword, we need to clearly understand why we hold the sword. So Shen Kuang's sword changed later, and he slowly understood the ethereal sword intention.

His sword does not seek to have extremely overbearing killing power, nor does it need to be as quick as taking a person's head from a thousand miles away.

Shen Kuang likes stability, stability, and only pursues stability. He is in compliance with his own will, so no matter how he uses the sword, it will not be wrong. This is what Shen Kuang pursues. During the battle with the Black Sword Attendant, he felt unconvinced. , but also not to admit defeat, of course, more importantly to save his life. When he swung the sword, he gathered all the emotions in his heart together, and then handed it out with one sword.

Shen Kuang won, which proved that his sword was at least right in his own hands. But Shen Kuang felt that he could do better and his sword could be more powerful.

Shen Kuang felt the flow of true air that was constantly being injected into his body, which was warm and comfortable. Wherever the true air flow passed, the injuries from the previous battle with the Black Sword Attendant were being dissolved, and his frown was also disappearing. Then relax.

However, he actually had many questions in his mind that he wanted to ask, but he never said them. Han Zhongjing had already guessed that Shen Kuang would have many questions, but he did not mention them at all.

After a long time, Han Zhongjing, who had been treated for most of the time, sighed and said slowly: "I know you have a lot of questions to ask. Of course, I can tell you, but you have to know what level you can accept at the moment. Before What I told you about your life experience is just a general thought, just to let you know the cause and effect, but there are many things I haven’t told you. I think the same is true for your master. It’s not that we don’t want to tell you, but we will tell you now. Taking the full picture and letting you make your own decision is not helping you but harming you. And about your Uncle Zhu and the butcher Zhu Tan, it involves a lot in detail. You can ask him yourself in the future. As for what he said It's his business whether to say it or not."

Shen Kuang was thinking a lot after listening to Han Zhongjing's words.

After a while, he took a deep breath, calmed down and replied: "Master told me in a letter before he left, that I must wait until I reach the master level before digging into those things back then. I have always thought so, But this series of things was so numerous and complicated that I was a little overwhelmed for a while.”

Han Zhongjing listened to the young man's heartfelt words and comforted: "Your master is right. The incident in Donghai back then was complicated and involved many people and things. On the surface, it seems that it was just the imperial court coveting your five major families in Donghai. that secret,

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

But in fact, there are many things that others don't know, such as the Qizhou Gao family back then. The Qizhou Gao family gradually grew bigger in Qilu. Naturally, the Wei court did not want to see such a situation, but at that time it happened There was constant friction between the Wei and Nan Liang on the border, and even Nan Liang later launched a large-scale Northern Expedition. Although it ended in vain, it also sounded the alarm to the Wei royal family, and there could not be chaos within the empire. So at that time, the Great The Wei royal family did not want to see chaos in the east of the empire, nor did they want to watch the Gao family in Qizhou grow bigger, so they pointed the finger at the five major families in the East China Sea who had good relations with the Gao family. Your five major families are Jianghu families, so the imperial court He can use Jianghu's style of doing things to achieve his goal of knocking down the mountain and shaking the tiger. Moreover, the Qizhou Gao family is just one of the lines, and the complexity of it cannot be explained in a moment."

Han Zhongjing talked a lot, and Shen Kuang chewed it carefully. He knew very little about what happened back then. Although what Han Zhongjing said now only made the fuzzy picture in his mind a little clearer, it was still far from being able to see the situation clearly. degree.

After a while, without hearing Shen Kuang's words, Han Zhongjing said again: "If you have anything to ask, just ask. Too much is not enough. It's up to you to decide how much you should ask."

Shen Kuang nodded silently, thought for a moment, and then his eyebrows relaxed, as if he felt a lot more relaxed. He looked at Han Zhongjing and asked with a chuckle: "Uncle, can you tell me something about the Shen family back then? Apart from my parents, Besides, what other relatives do you have at home?"

Han Zhongjing was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Shen Kuang's final question after thinking for a long time was just a trivial matter between these parents. He thought for a while, and then told everything he knew.

"Your Shen family was also a famous family in the world back then. Your father, Shen Jiusi, was even known as a swordsman wizard, and he was in charge of the Shen family's Youya Sword. At that time, your father was already a sixth-level swordsman. Grandmaster, it’s so powerful. You may not know this realm, but you just need to know that it’s very powerful.”

"Are you more powerful than Uncle Han?" Shen Kuang asked.

Han Zhongjing smiled and replied: "You are much better than me."

By this time, the injuries in Shen Kuang's internal organs had gradually improved a lot, and the next step was to restore it with a little bit of medicinal materials. So Han Zhongjing collected his energy, got out of bed, sat down at the table, and poured it for himself A cup of tea, drink by yourself.

Shen Kuang also dragged his much better body and sat across from Han Zhongjing. He was still a little weak, but the pain in his body had disappeared a lot, so he felt much more relaxed.

Shen Kuang also poured himself a cup of tea. While pouring the water, he asked: "What about my mother? What kind of person is she?"

"Your mother, her name is Yuan Xun. She is a gentle and virtuous woman."

Mentioning Shen Kuang's mother, Han Zhongjing looked at Shen Kuang a few more times for no reason, as if he was struggling with something, but soon he said: "Actually, your mother has another name."

"A reputation like senior and my master?"

Han Zhongjing shook his head and said: "She is actually Princess Pingyao of our Great Wei Dynasty, the aunt of this generation of little emperors."

After saying this, Han Zhongjing looked specifically at Shen Kuang, who was thinking with his eyelids lowered. Shen Kuang's mood swings were not big, only the sometimes hesitant and sometimes soothing expression on his face was telling something, but they were all very subtle mood swings. Can't see anything.

"Accident?"

Shen Kuang nodded and said, "A little bit."

Han Zhongjing knew that he still had something to say, so he did not interrupt.

"I have lived in Hongni Alley for twenty years. Although I am already very old, those uncles and aunts are still willing to treat me as a child. In fact, I also think so in my heart. I am only twenty years old. , not big. When I lived in an alley, I felt that the world was only so big. The largest one was as big as our Meiwu City, and it couldn’t be any bigger. So, at that time, I saw, heard and thought of very little. Later, As I grew up, I saw more and more people, and even saw people from the Western Regions in Qiuluo City. At that time, I suddenly felt that the world had suddenly become bigger, but I was still just Mei. A young man learning swordsmanship in the red mud lane of Fog City. It was not a big surprise, because the book once said that there are mountains outside the mountains, and there are people outside the people. So I knew that the world would be big, and the most I felt was curiosity and curiosity. interesting."

"All my changes came from that trip to Yunmeng Mountain. The master asked me to propose marriage. Although I was a little reluctant and didn't understand, I still knew in my heart that the master would not harm me. Then, slowly, everything happened It’s changed. I’ve met Dugu Nanqiao and Senior Sister Ciyin from Yunmeng Mountain, I’ve met Jiang Ning, I’ve met Yu Wenyuan, I’ve met Senior Uncle Han, you and Shi Yu, and many other people in the world, a mixed bag. You all no longer Confined to a small Meiwu City, your world is so big that I have never seen it before. When I found out about my life experience for the first time, I actually didn’t feel sad at all. Later I met Su Yao. Our reactions to the same thing are completely different. Although I don't have those same feelings, it doesn't mean that I don't feel anything in my heart. Ever since I learned about my life experience, I have felt pressure on me, not heavy but it requires my attention. To deal with it. In fact, if you think about it carefully, there is nothing

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

What's the difference? It's just that there are more things about myself. I don't have much impression about my father and mother, so in my eyes they are just my father and mother. They have no other identities. Whether they are princesses or ordinary people, they are just me. It’s just my father and mother. I haven’t said this to anyone, but I couldn’t help but want to say this when I talked to you, uncle, today.”

This was the first time Han Zhongjing heard Shen Kuang say such long words. Although he said he was a brat, he did not lack concern for Shen Kuang, otherwise he would not have rushed here from Qiuluo City.

Han Zhongjing looked at Shen Kuang and seemed to feel that the young man in front of him had grown up all of a sudden. He originally wanted to tease Shen Kuang and ask him why his mother was a princess, but the court was still unwilling to let go of the Shen family. But after listening to him After these words, he collected all the questions that Shen Kuang would not answer even if he asked them.

He looked at Shen Kuang and said, "It doesn't matter whether you say it out loud or keep it in your heart. You, don't think about how difficult everything is, and don't think of it as a burden. What should you do and what shouldn't be done? No matter what you want to do or don’t want to do, the choice will not be wrong. He is gone, so you can just take good care of yourself. If one day, you have the ability, for example, to reach the level of your master, or even better than him It should be easier to think about these things when you are still in high school. In short, there is nothing to be afraid of if you take it one step at a time. Just treat these things as baggage on your journey. When you get to a place, just throw some of them down, and slowly you will It’s lighter.”

Han Zhongjing, who felt that the tea was bland, did not continue drinking tea, but drank the wine in his gourd. After taking a sip, he wiped his mouth, then looked at the wine bottle in Shen Kuang's hand and said with a smile: "Would you like to take a few sips? This is really good stuff?"

Shen Kuang looked at the jug, thought for a moment and took it, then raised his head and took a sip without saying a word.

The wine was very astringent and harsh on the throat. Shen Kuang didn't understand why Uncle Han liked drinking. After one sip, Shen Kuang frowned. But after a period of discomfort, Shen Kuang suddenly felt light and light, and it felt good. This was the wine. , it was much worse than the Fu Yuchun he and Jiang Ning drank last time, so Shen Kuang stopped after taking a sip.

"Why, do you think my wine tastes bad?"

Shen Kuang thought for a while, then nodded: "It's far worse than that Fu Yuchun!"

"Hey, it seems like you are quite naughty! Did you drink here?" Han Zhongjing asked.

Shen Kuang nodded.

"Oh, I remembered, you are now the uncle of the Jiang family outside their building, and your identity is different! Then it should be no problem for me to take two pots of Fu Yuchun with me when I leave later!"

Hearing Han Zhongjing talk about this, Shen Kuang had a headache. He patted his forehead and said with a wry smile: "Uncle Han, this is just a deal between Jiang Ning and I. It can't be considered real."

Hearing this, Han Zhongjing glanced at Shen Kuang suspiciously and asked, "Does your kid have something against her?"

As he said that, he felt a little helpless and said to himself, denying himself. "It doesn't seem like it, you kid has any secrets. Could it be that that girl really likes you?"

Without thinking about Han Zhongjing's last sentence, Shen Kuang whispered: "It's not a handle, it means she knows my true identity."

Shen Kuang deliberately lowered his voice because he was afraid that there might be ears through the wall, but Han Zhongjing didn't seem surprised by this. He smiled and patted Shen Kuang's shoulder and said: "It's not surprising that the building outside the building can find out. I don't think that Jiang girl came here with any intention of harming her. You... I think they might really be interested in you, so take advantage of it, you brat!"

"Uncle, please stop laughing at me."

"Why are you joking? If you really become their Jiang family's uncle in the future, then I don't need to open my small restaurant. You can just give me one hundred and eighty thousand taels of silver and I will become a rich man with nothing to do. Haha Haha, just thinking about it makes me happy."

After talking for a while, Han Zhongjing changed his tone and said again: "Why are you thinking so much? I can see that that girl really didn't want to harm you. As for whether she really likes you, that's what I'm talking about. Her purpose I can also guess a thing or two, it’s not a bad thing after all. If you manage well in the future, it will be a great opportunity for you, so seize it.”

After having so much contact with Jiang Ning, Shen Kuang naturally had concerns in his heart, so he nodded in agreement.

"Okay, I've almost got your injuries under control. All that's left is to take care of yourself slowly with decoctions and medicines. The Lou family outside the building has a big business, so as long as you have some medicinal materials, you can stay here for the next two days." Let’s recuperate here!”

"Uncle Master, although they are not short of this little money, I still have to pay the money for the medicinal materials I use."

"Are you rich?" Han Zhongjing rolled his eyes at Shen Kuang and asked.

"No!"

"That's alright, you can tell that girl Jiang about this yourself, and then go away."

After saying that, Han Zhongjing left Shen Kuang's room without looking back. When he left, he was still talking about Fu Yuchun and smiling happily. Shen Kuang could guess what purpose he had in mind, but he didn't care about it.
