    Chapter 401 Delivering Water

    "Another defeat?!" Wang Yuyan was startled, raised her eyebrows, and said hurriedly: "Didn't you say that the imperial army reversed its decline and won one battle after another?"

    Princess Danyang shook her head and smiled bitterly, sighing: "This is meant to be inspiring, but in fact, these guys are so incompetent that they have never been able to win again!"

    "That's actually like this?!" Wang Yuyan frowned, seemingly in disbelief.

    "These guys can't do anything, they are a bunch of pustules!" Princess Danyang pouted bitterly, shook her head and said helplessly: "They only won one battle, and it was thanks to Mr. Xiao's help!"

    "So what's going on now?" Wang Yuyan asked softly, with a concerned expression.

    "You only have the power to parry, not to fight back!" Princess Danyang snorted and curled her lips: "What else can they do? Now, if they don't expect to win or get hit on the head, it's already God's blessing.  !¡±

    "The officials must be very angry, right?" Wang Yuyan shook her head.

    She usually hears Xiao Yuesheng say this. After all, this official is young and very energetic, but he has been tempered a lot. He looks easy-going, but the situation is easy to change, and the temperament is hard to change. His temper is still the same, and he can't rub it in his eyes.  Sand is extremely competitive.

    If he fights a war, he will never allow defeat, only victory, which lacks some tolerance.

    "Isn't it?!" Princess Danyang nodded heavily and sighed: "The official's health has been getting better for a while, but his mood has become worse. He sighs all day long. I heard the Queen Mother say that he has been sleeping all day long.  I can¡¯t sleep, I¡¯m meditating all day long!¡±

    "What about the generals who lost the battle?" Wang Yuyan asked in a low voice.

    "Them? The officials didn't seem to do anything. They just gave them a stern rebuke and asked them to switch from offense to defense to prevent Xixia's iron kites from taking a step forward!" Princess Danyang tilted her head and thought for a moment.

    "That's good!" Wang Yuyan breathed a sigh of relief. She originally thought that these people's lives were in danger, but she never thought that the officials did not kill them, which was indeed an anomaly.

    She now has great faith in Xiao Yuesheng's judgment and has no doubt about it. Since officials are said to be that kind of people, they must be so.

    "However, there was no killing. It seems that as an emperor, even if he is not very generous, he is far better than ordinary people. We cannot think about it based on common sense.

    "If it hadn't been for this news, the rewards from the officials would have been even greater." Princess Danyang shook her head regretfully, quite aggrieved.

    Wang Yuyan shook her head and smiled: "The things sent by the palace last time have already filled the warehouse in the palace, and there is no room for anything else!"

    "Giggle, Mrs. Xiao, you made a fortune last time!" Princess Danyang chuckled.

    Wang Yuyan smiled and said indifferently: "These things are all external things, but I don't value them very much. Apart from the few Taoist scriptures, I haven't read them at all."

    "He, with such martial arts, what can't he get?!" Princess Danyang pursed her lips and chuckled: "but the things the officials rewarded cannot be bought even with money!"

    "Well, they are all good things." Wang Yuyan nodded lightly.

    At night, after everyone had dinner, they came to the back garden.

    At this time, in the back garden, lanterns were strung one after another, forming a dense network in the sky. The back garden was illuminated as bright as day, making it even more magnificent and colorful than during the day.

    Everyone was sitting in a flower bed. The thick green grass on the ground was like stepping on a carpet. The girls were either sitting sideways, lying on their sides, or sitting cross-legged in different postures, surrounding Xiao Yuesheng.  And sit.

    He was holding a Taoist scripture with a leisurely expression, and a white jade cup in his other hand. Fang Xueqing sat beside him. Whenever the white jade cup was empty, he would fill it with a jade pot.

    On the other side, Zhong Ling was sitting, with Mu Wanqing sitting beside her, and Wang Yuyan sitting opposite Xiao Yuesheng, followed by Zhu Jun and Zhu Feng.

    Among the girls, some were reading, some were playing the harp, making tinkling sounds, like the tinkling of spring water, some were playing the flute, with a quiet voice, like weeping, and some were playing the pipa at an angle, as crisp as jade beads.

    Several sounds are mixed together, becoming softer and more pleasant to the ear. Their skills are all excellent, far beyond the world. They play casually and in natural harmony.

    Zhong Ling and Mu Wanqing talked in a low voice, while Wang Yuyan taught Zhu Jun and Zhu Feng how to read. Although they had been able to read since childhood, they had forgotten most of it after not using it for so long.

    At this time, when she taught them again, their progress was extremely fast. In addition, after taking the Marrow Cleansing Pill, her mind was clearer, far better than before, and she learned things faster.

    In the bright flower garden, the light is soft yet bright, and the atmosphere is peaceful and quiet. Although there is the sound of piano, flute and pipa, there is no noise at all.

    Wang Yuyan was wearing a moon-white Luo shirt, sitting with her legs crossed, her upper body upright, elegant and dignified. Her voice was cold and she spoke concisely. After a few wordsLet Zhu Jun and Zhu Feng learn on their own, raised their heads and said, "Brother, the princess said that the Imperial Guards were defeated again."

    Xiao Yuesheng put down the Taoist scriptures, raised his head and frowned.

    "I heard from the princess that the officials are very angry. They have been meditating and practicing these days and ignoring the government affairs." Wang Yuyan sighed softly.

    ¡°Huh¡ª¡ª?¡± Xiao Yuesheng raised his eyebrows and laughed.

    He laughed and shook his head.

    "Brother?" Wang Yuyan was surprised and surprised by his expression.

    Xiao Yuesheng is not afraid of the emperor, but Wang Yuyan is quite scrupulous. The ideas she received are from this era, and she still cannot escape the imprint of imperial power.

    Xiao Yuesheng smiled and shook his head: "How can we care about national affairs?"

    "In case the official comes, brother should be careful not to offend him." Wang Yuyan whispered.

    Xiao Yuesheng shook his head and laughed. Zhezong meditated and practiced and ignored government affairs, not because he was in a bad mood, but because he was addicted to practicing.

    The mental methods he taught all have one characteristic. When practicing, the taste is so good that it is indescribable. It is like having sex between men and women, and it is no different from taking drugs.

    Once you start practicing, you can't stop, you can't stop, not for the improvement of martial arts, but because you want to enjoy the taste of sex.

    As for the defeat of the imperial army, it is not a rare thing. It is caused by the Xiangbing system itself. If you want to improve the imperial army, it cannot be done in a short time.

    He didn¡¯t want to take action directly, overstep his authority, and kill too many people. Doing so would have endless consequences.

    On the second day, everything was quiet in the Xiao Mansion, but the back garden was quite lively. People were practicing in several flower gardens. Xiao Yuesheng was lying in the room, leaning on his head, reading leisurely.

    Suddenly Fang Xueqing burst in, wearing a light pink Luo shirt, charming and charming, as if she was a different person, and said with a smile: "Master, there is a young man outside, saying he is here to deliver water."

    Xiao Yuesheng put down the book and said, "Who is it?"

    "He said his surname is Cheng, and he came to deliver water on Master's order." Fang Xueqing said with a smile, full of interest.

    "Well, I got it. You're going to do it next. He is the third disciple of the Imperial Master." Xiao Yuesheng nodded, picked up the book again, and ignored it.

    Fang Xueqing responded, turned around and walked out, knowing how to deal with it.

    Cheng Wenfeng was wearing a dark green gown, holding a wooden bucket in each hand. He stood in front of the Xiao Mansion with a solemn expression and eyes as bright as lightning, staring at the door of the mansion.

    "Squeak!" The side door was opened, and Fang Xueqing floated out, as if moving in the wind, and stood in front of him: "Young Master Cheng, please come in."

    Cheng Wenfeng narrowed his eyes slightly, and a flash of lightning flashed by. This woman was a maid of the Xiao Mansion, but with such a level of cultivation, Xiao Guanlan was really unpredictable.

    He personally brought water here in response to the order of his mentor. Previously, he was still resentful, but after listening to Xiao Yuesheng's wonderful theory, he changed his mind.

    For him, Xiao Yuesheng revealed the secret with one word. He was immediately impressed. He felt deeply that his vision was too narrow and he looked down upon others. He immediately changed his attitude. As a disciple of the Imperial Master, he had the honor to deliver water to Xiao Guanlan and serve as a bearer.  Things, but willingly.

    On the road of cultivation, the master is the teacher. He clears away the fog for himself and saves countless efforts. Without him, he will practice hard and have no hope of reaching a higher realm for his whole life.

    "Okay." Cheng Wenfeng nodded.

    He picked up two wooden barrels, followed Fang Xueqing, and slowly entered the Xiao Mansion.

    Fang Xueqing took him to a room and pointed to the water tank in the corner. Cheng Wenfeng walked over, poured two buckets of water into it, turned around and left.

    "Young Master said, thank you very much." Fang Xueqing said as she followed him to the door.

    Cheng Wenfeng turned around, his eyes flashed with lightning, and he smiled slightly: "Mr. Xiao, you're welcome. It's my blessing to be able to serve you. Farewell!"

    After saying that, he clasped his fists, lifted up the two barrels, and disappeared into the distance in the blink of an eye. His feet seemed slow, but his speed was extremely fast.

    Fang Xueqing looked at the direction in which he was going away and nodded secretly. This person's cultivation was advanced and not weaker than hers, yet he condescended to come to deliver water. However, the young master actually ignored Youjia and just sent him to say something. He was really wronged.
