【Ningxue】Second strategy

When Murong Ning heard someone knocking on the door, he casually said: "Please come in." He put away the book in his hand and looked up. It was Murong Shengxue who he had been waiting for for many days. Not bad, it seems that the past few days are going well.When Murong Shengxue entered the door, he put the cigarette stick that he hardly left his hand during the day behind his waist. Seeing Murong Ning leaning on the couch, he called "Uncle Ning" and sat down beside the table.

"It seems that Uncle Ning has been living here quite comfortably for the past few days."

"Stinky boy, are you satisfied with letting Uncle Ning wait for you here for ten days?" Murong Ning put down the book in his hand and sat on the bed, his calm tone had a hint of majesty.Murong Shengxue nodded. Originally, he wanted to wait for half a month. He was afraid that his popularity would be too much, so he restrained himself a little.At this time, I thought about it seriously, and then said: "Not very satisfied, but it feels good." Murong Ning asked: "Is it fun?" Murong Shengxue showed a knowing smile: "Someone took me around , Of course it’s fun.” Murong Ning stretched out his fingers and tapped a few times, feeling helpless and funny, “You, you——”

Murong Shengxue felt happy and didn't want to bring up those intentional or unintentional conflicts, and Murong Ning didn't want to bring it up before he thought it through.In the final analysis, Murong Ning was at fault for this incident. He wanted to make up for his nephew, thinking that Murong Shengxue had always wanted to travel outside the Murong Mansion, so he asked him: "You know that there is a sword test every year. This year It’s settled in Suizhou, De’an Prefecture, how about Uncle Ning taking you to see the world?”

Murong Shengxue really knew about this party. He also begged Murong Ning to take him to the party one year, but at that time he was still young and knew nothing but basic sword styles.Murong Ning was so entangled by him, impatient to make up excuses to coax him, so he asked him: The people around are all there to discuss and exchange ideas, what are you going to do?

The corner of Murong Shengxue's mouth twitched, and he said: "The gathering of the disciples of the sect is for exchanging ideas, what am I going to do?" After hearing this, Murong Ning coughed, obviously remembering the past.At that time, Murong Shengxue was only eight or nine years old, he hadn't practiced the basic sword style well, and it was the most dangerous years, Murong Ning could not leave the mansion without leaving the mansion, all he had to do was use a rope to hold his only remaining nephew Always tied to his side, almost counting the brand of Hades to live.

No matter whether Murong Shengxue remembers or knows about this section, Murong Ning doesn't want to mention it.

Murong Ning was much more calm than Murong Shengxue, he said: "Oh, since Shengxue doesn't want to go, then follow Uncle Ning back to Murong Mansion." Murong Shengxue stared at him, gritted his teeth and forced out a word, " Go." Murong Ning persuasively persuaded him: "Don't force it, you know that Uncle Ning has always loved you so much that he would not give up. It just so happens that Uncle Ning can also rest in the mansion instead of running around." Murong Shengxue listened to him as if The words were extremely sincere, and he said word by word: "I, I want to go." Murong Ning seemed to hear his nephew's gritted teeth, and decided not to tease him anymore. He simply responded and picked up the book again. , while telling my nephew: "I have reserved room No. [-] for you, take a rest, and leave tomorrow morning. The time is only one month later, and it will be a bit rushed to delay."

Murong Shengxue stopped talking nonsense, turned around and walked out the door with the cigarette stick in his hand. During the past few days, his addiction to cigarettes has increased a lot, and he wants to take a few puffs when he has nothing to do.In the mansion, he was busy practicing sword and reading, or staying in front of Uncle Ning, always taking a breath as if he suddenly remembered it after a while.Sometimes when Murong Yanyu came out of the customs, it made him upset, so he didn't dare to use too much, lest the old man notice the smell on his body and make another scene.

This time when I went out, I just took it with me.

Murong Shengxue had a lot of fun these few days, and was also tired of being entangled by that scholar, so he relaxed for a while, and fell asleep as soon as he touched the bed, but he didn't know that Murong Ning next door was listening to the sword guard slave reporting his every move.

If you want to go to De'an Mansion, you have to cross the big river first. There are many boatmen on both sides of the river, so you don't have to worry about running out of boats.When traveling around the world, most people in the rivers and lakes would carry weapons and money with their sleeves fluttering. Murong Ning brought a little more, which was just a small burden with the accompanying sword guard.

Going out with Murong Ning, you don't need to worry about the itinerary, and you don't need him to deal with people. Murong Shengxue is naturally leisurely, sitting on the bow of the boat and taking in all the waves of the river.

Since childhood, Murong Ning has been teaching him three things, one is to meditate, the other is to respect the old and the virtuous, and the third is enlightenment.In the final analysis, the sword intent is to put the human heart and nature into the sword. Seeing, feeling and experiencing more is the best way to polish the sword intent. No one can practice the sword intent from a blank.

Murong Shengxue suddenly turned around and asked: "Uncle Ning never goes to any sword-testing meeting, why do you want to go this year? Without an invitation card, isn't Uncle Ning afraid that he won't be able to enter the door?" After all, the so-called sword-testing meeting is all about practicing swords For the exchanges between the younger generations, the mansion has its own older disciples to take them there, and it is meaningless for Murong Ning to go.In the first few years it was indeed because of Murong Shengxue, but later it was just an excuse.Murong Ning pointed to his face, "Because I'm Murong Ning, I won't be rejected." Murong Shengxue asked: "With your thick skin, can others not imitate at all?" Murong Ning shook his head, and continued Said: "Be cautious in your words and deeds. Shengxue, Uncle Ning's temper is not so good every time, and he doesn't care about you. You have to listen more, think more and talk less. If you ask such obvious questions repeatedly, Uncle Ning will doubt you." Don't worry about it."

"So Uncle Ning hasn't doubted yet?" Murong Shengxue raised his eyebrows, entered the cabin and sat opposite Murong Ning, and said in a low voice: "Then Uncle Ning can start to doubt my intentions. By the way, Uncle Ning hasn't asked any questions yet. My question, why are you going this year? It’s not because you came out to find me, so you can take a breather, right?”

"It's not that far off."

"Where is the difference?"

"I wanted to take you there at first. If you don't want to, then forget it." Murong Ning would not say it, but he was afraid that Murong Shengxue would bring up the old matter with him as soon as he returned to the mansion, forcing him to have nowhere to go. Set aside some time to think about it.My nephew has always been well-mannered when he is outside, so he is not afraid of him getting into trouble with himself on other people's territory.

Murong Shengxue snorted, and Murong Ning said: "To answer your question, it's not that you never go there, but you never went there after you learned swordsmanship. When you were young, you went to the sword competition, and later you took the disciples from the mansion out to practice. They are all acquaintances. Yes. Since I am Murong Ning, I can go in and be honored as a distinguished guest. I don’t need anyone to invite me, and no one dares to call me an uninvited guest.” Murong Shengxue’s face darkened, and when he was about to say something, Murong Ning nodded and said: "Yes, this is the prestige of the Murong Mansion that you hate. Even if it has been hidden for many years, it should not be underestimated."
