Chapter 38 She Was Shown Everything She Shouldn’t Have Seen…

Jiang Si noticed that although no one was offending her nearby, there were still many people watching from afar.

It's not that she minded, but she was curious about how the palace soldiers on duty in the training ground viewed her, the new wife.

After walking for a while, Jiang Si also felt Xie Yunshuo's prestige. Everyone he met saluted him respectfully, and occasionally there were people he called out by name and asked about their homework.

Military generals are not like civil officials who read, write and compose articles. Their homework is to learn weapons and practice formations.

Many of the things Xie Yunshuo said were new to Jiang Si.

Listening to Xie Yunshuo's thorough knowledge of swords, spears, and halberds, and seeing him full of vigor and confidence in the field he was good at, Jiang Si had a different feeling.

Because of those past events, I couldn't help but have some prejudice against him, thinking that he was flashy but superficial. Having never seen him demonstrate his skills, I always felt that his reputation was false, that he had no real ability, and that he was just superficial.

Now that I have seen it with my own eyes, I can see that he is well versed in both civil and military strategies, and is confident in teaching martial arts, which makes me feel the reality.

Xie Yunshuo brought Jiang Si to the pavilion viewing platform at the edge.

"I have something to do. Please make yourself at your own convenience. If you have anything to say, please send someone to speak to me."

Jiang Si nodded and said, "You go ahead. I'll just watch from a distance."

After saying this, Xie Yunshuo took a step forward and strode to the distant martial arts training area, where there were three weapon racks, solemn and formal.

The place where Jiang Si was taken was right to the east of the weapon rack, in a pavilion next to the outer wall. It was quiet and shaded, perfect for people like Jiang Si to watch the excitement from afar.

Jiang Si and her maid sat here and could see both sides. They could watch people wielding swords and clubs, as well as watching people practicing fighting.

Xie Yunshuo hadn't properly wielded a sword for many days, and he stood in front of the weapon rack, thinking about his choice.

A young general he was familiar with accompanied him in training. He suggested, "Young General, try this crescent-shaped halberd. This newly presented crescent-shaped halberd is just the right length, five inches shorter than the long dragon spear, and is good for thrusting."

"Take a look." Xie Yunshuo took out the Crescent Moon Halberd and weighed it in his hand.

He rarely used this kind of weapon. It was not here before. It was newly delivered, so the young general let him try it.

But he was used to using spears and broadswords, and the crescent halberd was not heavy enough or powerful enough, so he put the weapon back.

These two weapons, placed side by side in three columns, are finely crafted, with engraved patterns on the body. They have a graceful appearance and sharp blades that are etched with blood, making them top-quality weapons.

The weapon craftsman who forged weapons only for the Xie family mastered a secret method of melting iron and burning copper. These weapons do not rust when in contact with water, conduct heat to the touch, do not deform, and are not brittle. They are unique to the Xie family.

Each weapon weighs as much as a hundred pounds. Being able to practice and wield these weapons is the dream of martial artists.

The martial arts training ground of the General's Mansion is well-known. As the eldest grandson, Xie Yunshuo grew up on this ground since he was a child. From short-bladed double swords to swords, spears, swords and halberds, the weapons he practiced with were all the best.

He did not choose the crescent halberd that the young general recommended, but chose a spear.

The spear is the most famous of the four famous weapons. When wielded, it is like a nimble dragon swimming in the air, with overwhelming momentum and the greatest visual impact.

The dance is magnificent and eye-catching, and you can see people dancing with guns from a long distance away.

This spear is made entirely of alchemical gold. In Xie Yunshuo's hand, because of his slender figure, the spear perfectly matches him, and the weapon and the man complement each other.

If a shorter person holds this spear, it will be extremely uncoordinated.

Xie Yunshuo weighed it, then suddenly twisted his hands and started dancing from slow to fast, with great vigor.

Sweeping, slashing, slashing, and stabbing from behind, Xie Yunshuo danced with his spear, creating a whirlwind afterimage, and no one dared to get close to him.

With Xie Yunshuo's skills, he could flip three times in the air while holding a spear, which made the surrounding young generals shout loudly.

Jiang Si sat watching from a distance, holding her breath in amazement. She had heard that Xie Yunshuo was a martial arts expert, but hearing about him a hundred or a thousand times was not as good as seeing him in person.

Wuchan and Youlu, standing on the left and right, couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

The master and his two servants were so shocked that they looked like three wooden stakes, staring at Xie Yunshuo who was deliberately showing off his strongest martial arts.

After Xie Yunshuo finished his show, he handed the spear to the young general who was waiting on the side and stepped forward to take the weapon with both hands.

Then, he looked back inconspicuously and saw Jiang Si staring at him intently, then lowered her head to wipe her hands seemingly casually.

Beneath his calm surface, his heart was pounding, and it wasn't because of the violent swordplay he had just done.

Why didn't he choose the Crescent Halberd that the young general recommended, but instead took the spear that he was most comfortable with?

In fact, he also wanted to try a new weapon, but in the end he still picked up the spear that he was best at.

The spear is the most powerful weapon. When it is danced, it opens and closes vigorously, attracting attention. This is the first time that Jiang Si has come to the martial arts field to observe. He chose a familiar weapon to show the true talent of the Xie family.

After the conversation on the waterside pavilion, he always wanted to do something to prove himself, and this was a good opportunity.

After Xie Yunshuo wiped his hands, he applied some pea powder on them. The exhilarating spear dance he had just done was just a warm-up to regain his usual feeling.

He is proficient in all kinds of martial arts, and if he wants to show someone something, he has plenty of moves.

Qiu Ze, the palace soldiers, and the servants who were guarding nearby were extremely surprised.

Because Xie Yunshuo no longer needs so many muscle-building tricks to gain experience, this is too easy for him.

Since he was thirteen years old, Xie Yunshuo's practice with weapons in the martial arts arena was just warm-up. The focus was on picking out capable and good fighters to have real fights or to climb high platforms to strengthen their bodies.

He tried out his weapons one by one, which was a feast for the eyes, but he had stopped using these methods a long time ago.

As the saying goes, laymen watch the excitement while experts watch the details. All those who had never seen it before, including the passing servants, grooms, and the lady sitting in the pavilion in the distance, were watched intently without blinking.

Only those who know the ins and outs will find it strange.

Why didn't the eldest son find anyone to spar with today? Usually, he would only feel that his training was effective when he had to fight multiple opponents at once.

However, dancing with more than a dozen weapons consumes a lot of physical strength. If others pick up these weapons weighing dozens or hundreds of pounds, it will be difficult to lift them twice.

These palace soldiers who train regularly can do one or two moves, but if they do more than that, they will be useless.

Everyone was shocked to see Xie Yunshuo handling the weapons with ease, casually holding dozens of weapons and playing with them one after another. He still had some energy left after finishing a set, and was only slightly out of breath. He looked in good condition. There is always someone stronger than you.

Military generals conquer the world with their fists, so even though Xie Yunshuo is young and has little experience, all the young but experienced middle-aged soldiers and generals have to respect him as "young general".

After stretching his muscles, Xie Yunshuo breathed slightly and wiped the sweat off his face with the wet handkerchief handed to him by Jiaoshan.

Wiping his sweat, he thought to himself that he had practiced with all the weapons in this battle, and it should have the expected deterrent effect.

He tried his best and was satisfied with his performance. Moreover, he had added some extremely difficult flying and twisting moves such as the Wulong Twist and Back Throw when dancing just now. Xie Yunshuo, who had very strict requirements on these martial arts techniques, felt satisfied when he thought about it.

Presumably, the layman Jiang Si would have new plans for his expedition after seeing this scene.

Thinking of this, Xie Yunshuo adjusted his expression and turned back calmly, only to find that the pavilion where people were sitting just now was now empty.

He was stunned on the spot, and the handkerchief he was using to wipe his sweat almost slipped out of his hand.

Xie Yunshuo clenched his handkerchief, took a deep breath, and couldn't help but blurt out: "Where is the person?"

Qiu Ze knew that he was asking Jiang Si, so he turned around and called Qiu Ze who was coming from a distance.

Qiu Ze trotted over and said, "Master, the lady has gone to change clothes."

Xie Yunshuo's heart, which was secretly excited, felt like someone had poured a bucket of ice water on it.

He spoke with difficulty and asked, "When did she leave?"

Qiu Ze recalled: "Yes, I went there about a quarter of an hour ago. It's been a while."

Xie Yunshuo took a deep breath and held it in his chest. He didn't know what to do for a long time, but because of his fluctuating mood, he continued to hold his breath.

It turned out that he had just been wielding more than a dozen weapons in a row, and Jiang Si only took a few glances at them. Then why did he go through all this trouble?

Xie Yunshuo almost failed to lift it up in one breath. It was such a waste of effort.

He even felt like a monkey led by a street performer, working for nothing without getting any money.

For some reason, when he looked at the three weapons again, he felt annoyed and blamed himself for doing something unnecessary.

When did he become like this?

He even went out of his way to show off his skills to others. What was he trying to prove? He wasn't a three-year-old anymore. Why would he suddenly become so vain?

Unable to calm down, Xie Yunshuo was both angry and anxious. He took several deep breaths, and finally picked up a wooden sword and called a few people to attack him together, no longer thinking about Jiang Si watching.

However, since then, his heart has been restless, and all his moves have been ferocious and killing.

He only attacked and did not defend, and his sword was sharp. He swept through the enemy and defeated the young general who came up to fight with him.

The young generals accepted defeat sincerely and were too afraid to speak. They all thought in their hearts, how come the eldest son hasn't practiced martial arts with a sword for many days, but he has become more and more skilled? Could it be that he has read some military strategies and books in private and pursued perfection every day?

He is indeed a young general with a promising future. Although he is already a strong player, he still has no end to learning and is never satisfied. He is really admirable.

Without Xie Yunshuo noticing, Jiang Si had returned from the bathroom.

After all, this martial arts training ground is a man's territory. In such a large place, there is only one toilet for women to use.

Jiang Si walked a long way and came back to see Xie Yunshuo sparring with several people. The wooden sword in his hand flew like a meteor, slashing horizontally and sideways and then holding it on other people's necks. Every move was deadly.

Jiang Si shook her head and commented with the maids, "To put it nicely, this guy is unparalleled in bravery, but to put it bluntly, he's a desperate thirteen-year-old. It's just a sparring match, is there really any need to leave him no chance of survival?"

The maids just laughed and didn't dare to say anything more.

Let them see, they only think that the son-in-law is a martial arts master with great skills and no one can defeat him.

The lady had an old grudge with her son-in-law, so she was very strict with him. She was able to look him in the eye without any admiration, unlike young girls like them who had never seen the world and were easily intimidated.

As expected, just as Jiang Si finished speaking, she saw that Xie Yunshuo, because of his fierce moves and his neglect of the rear, was taken advantage of by a young general who took advantage of the opportunity and chopped him in the waist with a wooden sword from behind.

If this were a battlefield with real guns and swords, Xie Yunshuo would have lost half his life if he didn't die.

Xie Yunshuo woke up from his dream when he felt a dull pain in his back. He realized that he had been distracted and regretted it.

He put away his sword, and the young generals also put away their swords.

He praised the person who found his flaw, then turned around to wipe his sweat with a handkerchief.

Xie Yunshuo's aimless gaze swept across the distance, and he suddenly froze in place.

When did three more people appear in the pavilion that was originally empty?

When did Jiang Si come back?

In less than half an hour, he experienced two major ups and downs.

No...it's a big drop.

When Xie Yunshuo was dancing with sword and stick with great grace and grace and was widely cheered, Jiang Si was not there. He was hit in the waist with a wooden sword, but Jiang Si saw it clearly.

She really was sent by God to annihilate him. Whenever Xie Yunshuo was involved in anything related to her, things would often go against his wishes and he would be deeply hurt.

Before this, Xie Yunshuo didn't think there was anything wrong with what had just happened. Jiang Si didn't see his wonderful knife show before. He could only blame himself for being eager to show off and prove himself, which led to his delusions.

He advised himself not to take it too seriously.

But then this mistake was seen again, and Xie Yunshuo's mood, which had just adjusted itself, became even more chaotic.

I wanted to leave right then and there, wishing that what had just happened had never happened.

He was hit during a fight and his reputation was ruined.

For some reason, even though they were only a few hundred steps apart, Xie Yunshuo always felt that he could see the mocking smile on Jiang Si's face, the disappointed shake of his head, the dissatisfied questioning...

In fact, Jiang Si didn't have any of these things. They were all imposed on her by Xie Yunshuo because of his confused mind and his own wild imagination.

An accidental mistake among thousands of times, caused by distraction, left a bad first impression on Jiang Si, who had never seen him fight. This incident was like a nightmare, leaving a deep mark in Xie Yunshuo's heart, which he recalled from time to time and tortured him repeatedly.

In the following time, he practiced some other things alone. Although he was unhappy about the failure in the performance, it did not affect his plan to practice martial arts well today.

However, before he knew it, the place where he was training was getting farther and farther away, and finally it was at a place where he could no longer see the pavilion.

Jiang Si and the others had nowhere to go, so they could only watch from the pavilion. They couldn't see Xie Yunshuo anymore, so they could only watch others.

Jiang Si and the maids said, "This Xie Yunshuo, we came to watch him practice, but why is he getting further and further away?"

She said this with a meaningful smile on her face.

Jiang Si was smart and naturally knew why Xie Yunshuo went to a place where she couldn't see him.

It was nothing more than being attacked on the back and losing face, and I didn't want her to see it again.

Xie Yunshuo didn't know that his thoughts did not escape Jiang Si's sharp eyes. He walked away, and he didn't know when it would end. Jiang Si took the maids back to the yard first to pack up the things and clothes needed for tomorrow's appearance.

After she had chosen her clothes, she heard the sound of someone returning outside. The footsteps were heavy and there were people surrounding her. She knew it was Xie Yunshuo who had returned.

Jiang Si was thinking about his somewhat funny behavior today, so she went out to meet Xie Yunshuo.

The maids followed her, and the beauties came out slowly.

Xie Yunshuo and the others looked up from outside and saw a woman of unparalleled beauty walking gracefully to the door, lifting the curtain and coming out, leaning lightly against the door.

The servants behind him lowered their heads and smiled, their faces radiant with radiance.

Xie Yunshuo came back sweating profusely, feeling dusty and dirty. From afar, he saw Jiang Si, whose flawless face and inscrutable smile were standing by the door, looking at him. His heart was beating violently, as if something was rushing out of his chest.

He looked around, wanting to retreat or hide, but there was nowhere to go, so he had to bite the bullet and move forward.

At this moment, Xie Yunshuo, who had just jumped three times on the high platform in the martial arts arena with great enthusiasm, was covered in sweat, his monkey back and wasp waist were exposed, and his clothes were stretched tightly. The warrior's majestic aura frightened the maids working in the yard so much that they dared not look up.

Jiang Si was different. Her eyes swept over Xie Yunshuo from top to bottom, and from toes to head, looking at him without any scruples.

She used to look at him with disdain, but after seeing Xie Yunshuo's more outstanding figure after practicing martial arts, she gradually turned to admiration.

In order to practice martial arts, Xie Yunshuo did not wear wide robes with big sleeves, and the narrow clothes perfectly outlined his figure.

His face was slightly flushed and he wiped the sweat off his face. When he raised his arms, even the taut folds of his clothes formed neat and unrestrained arcs.

Jiang Si watched with her discerning eyes and saw that he was stronger and more powerful than usual after practicing martial arts.

She also noticed where Xie Yunshuo was going, and it seemed that he was going directly back to the study, so she had some bad thoughts.

Jiang Si took the initiative to call him: "Xie Yunshuo, do you want to take a bath? I have asked the maid to prepare water."

She took the initiative to start a conversation. Because they were some distance apart, Xie Yunshuo had to continue forward, came to the main house door, and stood at the steps.

"Thank you. Put it in the study."

Jiang Si's smile widened with triumph. She looked him up and down, bringing up the issue at hand. "Didn't you act a little too impulsively during your sparring match just now? If you acted like that on the battlefield, the enemy would have taken advantage and attacked you from behind. Wouldn't you have died on the battlefield?"

Xie Yunshuo knew that her sudden attentiveness was not a good thing, so he became a little more vigilant, but he still fell into Jiang Si's trap.

It’s just that she is standing here with a smile on her face, her palms resting on the backs of her hands, her gentle appearance is too deceptive.

Xie Yunshuo was not more thoughtful than her, so he was careless and had a bit of luck in his heart, thinking that she would not seize this opportunity to ridicule him.

Unexpectedly, he was not cautious enough.

Unfortunately, Jiang Si caught him red-handed in a mistake he rarely made. This was a mistake he only made once in a dozen times, and unfortunately, someone seized the opportunity to attack him at close range, and he happened to be exposed to Jiang Si.

Xie Yunshuo remained silent, feeling as if he didn't know whether he should explain or not, and that the more he explained, the paler it would seem.

But this time was different from the previous time, he couldn't help but explain to her.

"Today was an accident. Normally, I wouldn't be so careless."

"Oh?" Jiang Si didn't deny his mistake, but instead put on a quiet and curious expression, "What was the accident today?"

She looked tolerant, waiting for him to speak and letting him explain himself, and her beautiful and leisurely face was dazzling.

Xie Yunshuo had thought of what he was going to say, but the words kept spinning on his lips.

Especially when he saw Jiang Si's appearance, Xie Yunshuo felt strangely dry and astringent in the mouth, which made him speechless.

Jiang Si's deliberately gentle and docile appearance revealed a sly and cunning gleam in her eyes.

However, even though he knew that she was well prepared and waiting for him, Xie Yunshuo still had to say it.

"I was thinking about other things, and in a moment of haste, I wasn't prepared. I won't do that again. Especially when you're training in the martial arts arena with wooden swords, there's no life-threatening situation, so naturally you're not as vigilant as you are on the battlefield. On the battlefield, swords and guns are blind, and every strike is a killing move. Even the most skilled martial artists don't dare to be careless."

Jiang Si nodded slowly. As Xie Yunshuo waited anxiously, she replied softly, "Then I'll trust you for now. After seeing you today, I can see you do have some skills. I feel a little relieved."

It would have been fine if she didn't mention it, but once she did, Xie Yunshuo felt even more uneasy.

Today he wielded more than a dozen weapons in a row, but Jiang Si didn't see it.

When something went wrong, which was rare, she saw it.

She didn't see what she should see, but saw everything she shouldn't see.

What is frustrating is that the coincidence between them is puzzling, but to Xie Yunshuo, it seems strangely normal.

Otherwise, how could they be called enemies known to everyone?

Since they are enemies, nothing will go smoothly between enemies.

Jiang Si's power lies not only in the things that happened in the past, but also in the fact that whenever something involves her, Xie Yunshuo will be in trouble. It will never develop according to his expectations, and he will not achieve what he wants.

If he thinks about what happened today according to his understanding, he will feel that it should be this way.

If Jiang Si came to the martial arts arena to watch, and saw his prowess in fighting and defeating a hundred enemies alone, the ridicule and jokes in her eyes would probably turn into admiration and respect.

If this happened, Xie Yunshuo would feel that it was as false as a dream and unreal.

Thinking of such an unfamiliar situation and imagining a Jiang Si who admired and loved him, Xie Yunshuo felt that he probably didn't know her.

The way they get along and their relationship are all destined by God.

Thinking this way, Xie Yunshuo finally understood what happened today.

Forget it, let Jiang Si laugh if she wants to. He did make a mistake, and it is a fact that he was successfully attacked.

So he defended himself: "Although I can fight ten people alone, I still have a lot of room for improvement. I need to practice hard in the future."

Jiang Si advised him, "Yes, everyone knows that you are a skilled warrior. You can beat ten people on your own. You just need to be careful not to get hit from behind."

Her words sounded caring, but if you think about it carefully, they still hit the heart. It's just that they were sugar-coated to make them sound nicer.

Xie Yunshuo has become numb.

He thought about her words twice, and suddenly an idea came to his mind.

The scene changed, and Xie Yunshuo also examined Jiang Si, his eyes slightly lowered: "You are so concerned about this matter, could it be that you care about me? You don't want me to die on the battlefield, right?"

He changed the subject and put a crooked hat on Jiang Si to see if she would still be in the mood to laugh at him.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Si was not afraid of such verbal battle at all. She was more ruthless than him and did not play by the rules.

"You are my husband, of course I care about you. When I saw you got stabbed in the back, I was terribly worried."

Jiang Si said this in a relaxed tone, glanced at Xie Yunshuo, and leisurely returned to the room.

Xie Yunshuo was left outside, standing there in a daze, his mind blank.
