Rong Zhou saw the hostility in Su Wanti's eyes.
At that moment, he just felt funny.
He had people plant this bamboo forest specially, and he also had people create the open space in the center of the bamboo forest.
Now, this little girl who broke in without the master's permission is actually hostile to him as the master?
A smile appeared in Rong Zhou's deep eyes. He raised his chin slightly and squinted his eyes, looking at the thorny and hairy woman in front of him.
Her hair was waist-length and was tied into a simple bun on top with a pearl flower pinned diagonally on it.
Due to the intense movement just now, her hair bun had become a little loose, and the pearl flower hung precariously beside her ear, adding a touch of prettiness to her beautiful and pretty face.
It is noon now, and the sunlight shines through the dense bamboo leaves, filling the forest with mottled light and shadows.
Her eyes were large and bright, as clear as a cold pond in autumn, and were shimmering with light and shadow.
Because there was hostility in her eyes, the light was as cold as the autumn wind, making it easy for people to sense her inherent sense of alienation.
Her lips were tightly pursed, just like her eyes, cold and keeping people at a distance.
Yesterday, she was wearing a white dress, and her temperament was as cool and pure as a snow lotus on an iceberg. Today, she was wearing a green dress, and the green color was similar to that of green bamboo.
She held a sword in her hand, which made her temperament change subtly, making her look as green and tall as a bamboo, graceful and elegant.
Su Wanti saw that the man didn't speak. He was tall and didn't look down at her. Instead, he stood not far away, squinting at her with sharp eyes, looking her up and down as if he wanted to see through her. She couldn't help but feel angry in her heart.
Just as she was about to ask another question, the man said, "Don't worry, young lady. I have no ill intentions and I didn't follow you on purpose."
He was tall and burly, and although his eyes were unruly, he was well-behaved. He stood two meters away from Su Wanti and did not move closer.
"I came to this bamboo forest by accident. Seeing it was quiet and cool, I came in for a walk. I didn't expect to meet a girl practicing sword here."
"The sword techniques the young lady practiced were too exquisite. I had never seen them before. I couldn't help but stand up and disturbed the young lady. This is my fault."
Su Wanti breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that although his eyes were arrogant and unruly, his speech and behavior were very polite.
Then, she remembered that the man was guarded by a skilled person yesterday, and thought that he must be a prominent figure, so she narrowed her eyes and looked at the details on his body calmly.
If he was born into a royal family or a noble family, and was raised in luxury since childhood, then one would definitely be able to find a few high-quality items among the clothes and accessories he wears.
Su Wanti looked carefully, but did not find any luxurious or valuable items, not even a jade pendant of high quality.
She wondered who this person was. She wondered if he was a friend or foe, or if he was here to harm her or help her.
The man seemed to see through her doubts and laughed out loud, his expression calm. "Miss, your swordsmanship is good, but from what I've seen, you seem to be using it awkwardly, with a sense of weakness. This is not acceptable."
Hearing this, Su Wanti frowned, raised her eyes slightly to look at him, and said in a low voice with a hint of uncertainty, "Do you know swordsmanship?"
Rong Zhou nodded, "Quite proficient."
"Can I try the girl's sword?"
Su Wanti didn't hesitate and put the sword in her hand behind her.
Are you kidding? I give you my sword, what if you attack me?
Rong Zhou naturally saw what she was thinking, but he didn't mind at all.
He didn't ask any more questions, but turned and walked towards the bamboo forest, broke off a bamboo branch, held it in his hand and tried it.
His palms were large and powerful, and he removed all the small branches and leaves from the bamboo branches in just a few strokes.
"Miss, I will use bamboo instead of a sword to help you solve your doubts."
Rong Zhou danced with a bamboo stick in his hand. Strangely enough, the thin bamboo stick seemed to be infused with some magical power. It rustled like a long sword, with a fierce momentum, cutting through light and shadows.
The moves he performed were all the ones Su Wanti had just practiced.
Su Wanti was startled at first, then she saw that the man had only seen her moves in secret, and he could dance skillfully and smoothly at once, which was much better than her. Her attitude towards him couldn't help but change.
Although this man had unruly eyes and kept staring at her face, he was actually a very nice person.
His behavior and speech were reasonable and proper, and since there were only the two of them in the dense forest, he had always kept his distance from her and had not done anything beyond the rules.
He is generous and open-minded, and has a photographic memory and superb martial arts skills...
Such a rare talent would be a top military commander if he were to serve in the imperial court...
Military general?
Su Wanti suddenly had an idea.
If you look closely at the man's moves, you can see that each of his moves is extremely clean and sharp, and carries a murderous aura.
She was startled and remembered.
Three months ago, the current emperor personally led the army to fight and returned victorious.
I heard that this time the emperor promoted several generals on the front line. These generals were all brave men who stood out from the soldiers. They had experienced hundreds of battles and killed countless enemies. The man who was wielding the bamboo stick with great vigor was probably one of them, right?
Su Wanti's eyes flashed darkly, and in an instant, her mind twisted and turned several times.
After being reborn, her goal is to enter the palace as a concubine, give birth to a prince, ensure that the prince inherits the throne, become the queen mother herself, hold great power, stand at the pinnacle of power, and make those noble people who once bullied her fall into the quagmire.
If we want to ensure that the prince ascends the throne smoothly and the country is stable, we cannot do without the support of the military generals in the court.
If this man is one of the generals promoted by the emperor, he may be able to be won over in the future, so it is better not to offend him.
and,
She had met this person twice. If his identity was really the same as she guessed, then in the future, when she tried to win him over, she could talk about their past relationship and maybe it would be easier to win him over.
Su Wanti was still guessing and calculating, and didn't notice that Rong Zhou had stopped and stood still.
"Miss, did you see it clearly?" Rong Zhou's breathing was even, without any panting, and there was not even a drop of sweat on his forehead.
Su Wanti was stunned and forced a smile.
She had already decided to treat him better so as to provide some help for her future.
He put away his hostility and said softly:
"Thank you for your guidance, Mr. Rong. I've taken note. However, this place is quiet, and being alone here with a man and a woman would be inconvenient. I dare not stay for long. I can only remember Mr. Rong's guidance in my heart. I will repay you for your kindness this day if we are lucky enough to meet again in the future."
We met by chance twice, and it's good enough to accept the favor.
If they met for too long and communicated too much, it would be bad if she entered the palace and held a high position in the future and someone found out about this and used it as an excuse to harm her.
