This villain has become a ghost

At this time, she should not express her own thoughts, but should reasonably guess Liu Zeyin's thoughts and say something that he had already thought of.

"No, we can't stop her," she shook her head and analyzed, "The fact that she was able to leave the palace means she's very likely collaborating with the emperor. Murong Jin is very scheming, and the emperor is no pushover either. He must be well prepared."

"After all, we are in Daying, so it's not easy for us to take action. There's no guarantee that the emperor isn't using her as bait."

"Besides, she has considerable influence in the Red Plover Tribe. If she dies, the situation in the Red Plover Tribe will become even more chaotic."

Yin Yun looked at her, his eyes suddenly softening, and he said slowly, "Then in your opinion... what should we do?"

Yue Liuyun said: "Even if our cooperation with Murong Huai breaks down, it doesn't mean that we can't reveal some other information to him. At worst, there is still Murong Chuan."

"Besides, what we can think of, Murong Jin and the others can also think of. They shouldn't be stupid enough to dig their own graves."

"Perhaps... Murong Chuan and Murong Huai have reached a subtle consensus. Now Murong Jin needs to make a choice: continue to cooperate with the emperor, or choose to join his brothers and become the enemy of Daying."

"...So, I think we should just wait and see what happens and wait for the right opportunity."

Liu Zeyin's mouth corners slightly raised.

He nodded slightly at Yue Liuyun, a hint of appreciation in his eyes, and said, "Not bad."

Yue Liuyun secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the fabricated story had hit the nail on the head.

Yin Yun thought about what she had just said and said softly, "Miss Yue has a point, but I still think... there are too many variables."

After a pause, he changed the subject and said, "However, since both the General and Miss Yue think that we should not stop it, the decision is in the hands of the General, and I will obey the General."

Liu Zeyin said: "Okay."

No matter what, it is still Yanagisawa Oon who has to make the final decision.

After discussing many matters, Liu Zeyin did not forget what he said about teaching Yue Liuyun swordsmanship personally.

After resting, he brought Yue Liuyun to the training ground.

Surrounded by tall walls, in the center of the parade ground stood a massive reviewing platform, paved with smooth bluestone, for generals to observe and conduct training exercises. Swords, spears, halberds, and other weapons were neatly arranged on the platform, gleaming with a cold light. Colorful flags fluttered around the perimeter, representing the various military units and their formations.

On the parade grounds, trumpets blew and drums roared. Soldiers, armed with weapons, lined up neatly, practicing horsemanship, archery, swordplay, and spearmanship in an orderly manner.

"The general will see you at the end."

When the deputy general saw Liu Zeyin, he hurriedly trotted forward and saluted him respectfully.

Liu Zeyin said calmly, "Just continue your training."

"I will obey your orders!"

Liu Zeyin found a decent sword for Yue Liuyun, then found an open space and demonstrated some basic sword moves.

He has an upright posture, his clean and neat sword skills are filled with murderous aura, and his body movements are smooth and flowing.

Yue Liuyun has an excellent memory, reads carefully and learns quickly.

After doing a set of movements, it looks about 70% similar.

Liu Zeyin just looked at her quietly without saying much.

Then, he drew his sword, signaling Yue Liuyun to do the same. Yue Liuyun did as he was told, then assumed a defensive stance. Liu Zeyin flashed in front of Yue Liuyun, startled, and quickly raised his sword to block the attack.

However, it was of no avail. Liu Zeyin was extremely fast and attacked fiercely. In an instant, the sword fell from her hand and was knocked to the ground.

Yue Liuyun's knuckles were in pain from the shock, and his gaze fell on the sword that was knocked away, as if he was thinking about something.

Liu Zeyin sighed and said, "The most taboo in sword practice is to have form without strength. I can see that you have a good memory, but it is far from enough."

He bent down to pick up the sword for Yue Liuyun, handed it to her, and said seriously:

"Although you are a woman, I know that you are gifted, strong-willed, and well-educated."

"In the future, if you can overcome worldly prejudices and countless obstacles, you can become a counselor or a court official. You won't need to engage in martial arts, and there will be people to protect your safety."

"But the world is in turmoil. Storms are brewing and undercurrents are surging. If you want to protect yourself, you must not rely on others and leave no weaknesses. Only by doing so can you become a truly strong person."

No one knows what will happen in the future better than him, because he himself is that undercurrent, that sharp blade that stirs up the wind and clouds. His purpose is cruel, but he wants Yue Liuyun to survive.

Hearing this, Yue Liuyun was slightly stunned.

She understood these principles, but she just didn't expect that Liu Zeyin was actually sincerely cultivating and teaching her.

Although he is not a good person, he did not look down on her just because she was a woman. Instead, he was able to analyze the situation objectively and calmly and consider her future from a rational perspective.

Yue Liuyun felt quite emotional for a moment.

...Yanagi Zeyin is truly a person who is both complex, profound, and extremely pure.

He could show leniency to her because she resembled his "old friend," or he could tell her everything without hiding anything. He could use her for his own ends without hesitation, or he could sincerely train her and give her the ability to protect herself.

Sure enough, different perspectives lead to different perceptions.

From the perspective of "The Story of Minglan" that she watched, Nangong Mingzhu became the villain.

From Nangong Mingzhu's perspective, Liu Zeyin was also a so-called "villain".

If you remove the perspective, they are actually extremely vivid and real characters.

It’s just that the standpoints are different, what we encounter, what we seek, what we know, what we do, what we think and what we feel... are all different.

Yue Liuyun solemnly took the sword and said, "Thank you, General. I understand."

Liu Zeyin nodded slightly, picked up the sword again, and said in a deep voice: "Come again."

Yue Liuyun took a deep breath and concentrated her energy. This time she took the initiative to attack. However, before the sword touched Liu Zeyin, it was easily knocked away by him, causing her to take a few steps back.

After several unsuccessful attacks, Yue Liuyun changed his strategy and moved quickly around Liu Zeyin, looking for opportunities to attack.

Seeing this, Liu Zeyin raised the corner of his mouth slightly. He used stillness to control movement and closely watched Yue Liuyun's every move.

Suddenly, Yue Liuyun discovered Liu Zeyin's flaw. She quickly swung her sword and stabbed him, but she didn't expect that this was a flaw that Liu Zeyin deliberately exposed.

Liu Zeyin dodged the attack sideways and kicked Yue Liuyun's wrist. Yue Liuyun felt pain and the sword in his hand almost fell.

Yue Liuyun: “…”

She is a science student, but she is treated as a liberal arts student and is also ruthlessly whipped by sports students.

She just doesn't believe it, she just doesn't believe that she can't practice it well!

Liu Zeyin realized that he had hit her too hard and was about to go forward to check if she was injured, but suddenly a clear and pleasant female voice sounded from not far away.

"Liu Zeyin, how can you teach people to practice sword like this?" Song Zhiyi, dressed in red and holding a spear in his hand, walked slowly towards them. His long hair tied up high fluttered in the wind, and his cold eyebrows were like the chilly spring breeze.

Her eyes fell on Yue Liuyun and she nodded slightly at her.

The friendship between the generals may be deep or shallow, but they are all familiar with each other and have a free and easy temperament. They are not as particular about etiquette as the civil officials. Except for more important occasions, they usually call each other by their names.

Liu Zeyin seemed to have not expected her to appear and looked at her in surprise.

Song Zhiyi glanced at him sideways and said, "Although you are a good general, you are not necessarily a good teacher. It would be better for my cousin to be taught by me."

After she finished speaking, she raised her eyebrows and looked at Yue Liuyun, her eyes softening a little as she asked, "What do you think, cousin?"

Although Yue Liuyun claimed to be a subordinate in the mansion, her identity outside the mansion was still Liu Zeyin's cousin.

Yue Liuyun's face turned red when she called him "cousin" twice.

...Compared to Liu Zeyin, the strict physical education teacher, she certainly prefers Song Zhiyi, a beautiful and cool girl who looks fragrant and has a very seductive and cold beauty.

There is such a good thing in the world.

But she couldn't show it too obviously, after all, she was still Liu Zeyin's subordinate.

Yue Liuyun shifted his gaze towards Liu Zeyin.

Liu Zeyin: "..."

Liu Zeyin chuckled and said, "Calling you cousin is easy to say. She's obviously my cousin, but now I feel like an outsider."

"You are not an outsider, but you are a man," Song Zhiyi said, "You don't know how to teach a woman, but I do."

Liu Zeyin said, "I didn't know you had such a warm-hearted side."

"I'm also a woman, so naturally I admire women like me," Song Zhiyi said indifferently, "I know how difficult her life is, so I'm more willing to help her."
