Li Xiao is still training his martial arts and equestrian skills these days. As a military general, this is the capital to eat. In addition, Li Xiao also tries to learn Japanese so that he can integrate into ordinary life.

Shenglai is still arrogant as a son of an aristocratic family and ignores Li Xiao, who is four or five years older than him. Forget what Xinxuan told him that Haosheng learned martial arts from Li Xiao.

Xinfan's father and son were good friends with Li Xiaoping. Xinfan doesn't have so much free time to deal with military affairs on weekdays. Therefore, Li Xiao asked Takeda Xinfeng to learn Japanese, and made great progress.

So that both Xinfan and Xinfeng father and son look at Li Xiao with admiration. Now Li Xiao's Japanese level is quite good. Except for a few usage errors, there is no problem with simple communication - thanks for the teaching of AV and evil animation over the years.

In addition to learning Japanese, Li Xiao's Sinology level has also amazed Xinfan, who has done a lot of research on it.

At that time, the public secretaries at the top of Japan were more "worshiping foreign countries and fawning on foreign countries". The "ocean" and "outside" here naturally refer to China on the other side of the ocean.

Gongqing were proud to be familiar with Sinology and write Chinese characters. Later, this trend also spread to the Wu family. In Takeda's family, for example, Xinxuan and Xinfan both have good Chinese culture.

Therefore, sometimes Li Xiao and Xinfeng teachers and disciples often exchange roles, one teaching Chinese and the other teaching Japanese.

"Li Xiao, why do your characters look different from those in Chinese calligraphy? Many characters are missing a few strokes." Xinfeng asked in surprise when he saw that the Chinese characters written by Li Xiaoshu on the sand table were different from those taught by his father.

Facing Takeda Xinfeng's question, Li xiaoha smiled and couldn't tell him that it was a simplified character hundreds of years later. Li Xiao explained that this is another way of writing Chinese characters in order to write more smoothly.

Anyway, it's in Japan. I'm so confident that I'm not afraid of being exposed. Obviously, Xinfeng was deeply impressed by Li Xiao's words and said with admiration: "Your Excellency is really powerful. You know so many writing methods."

While they were talking, they suddenly heard someone outside the tent saying, "is there really such Chinese? Why don't I know."

Li Xiao looked up and saw that the other party was a man in his thirties. His appearance was very similar to Takeda Xinxuan and Takeda Xinfan.

Seeing the man, Takeda Xinfeng was very surprised and shouted, "uncle."

After listening to Takeda Xinfeng's words, Li Xiaoxin guessed whether this person was Takeda Xinxuan's other brother Takeda Xinlian, also known as Takeda xiaoyaoxuan after becoming a monk. Because he looks similar to his brother, he can often serve as a shadow warrior and be born outside as a substitute for Xin Xuan.

Although Xinlian himself was born in the martial arts family, he is very knowledgeable and talented, especially good at painting and sculpture. In short, he is the kind of generals who can chop people on the horse and write poetry and paint when off the horse.

Takeda Xinlian is famous in later generations because of his dual identity as a cultural man and a military general.

Takeda shenglai followed Xinlian, looked at Li Xiao and said, "uncle, this is the general from the Ming Dynasty." after the introduction, Takeda shenglai whispered, "hum, I don't know whether it's true or not."

Takeda shinlian looked at shenglai and smiled. He took out a small bamboo paper fan from his waist and opened it with a puff. It seemed that there was a picture of Yushan ink bamboo on it.

If the other party hadn't been dressed up as a military general, Li Xiao almost regarded him as a mountain scholar of "Xiaoao King Hou Gongqing".

Li Xiao smiled, pointed to Takeda Xinlian's fan and said to him, "can I borrow a fan?"

Takeda Xinlian nodded, handed the fan to Li Xiao, and then said, "I've heard that the figures of the Ming Dynasty are beautiful. Please give me some advice on my work."

The other party is also very fluent in Chinese, which is not inferior to Takeda Xinfan, and the level of Chinese is also quite high.

Seeing the sincerity of the other party, Li Xiao was quite uneasy at the bottom of his heart. His level of traditional Chinese painting was not very good, let alone comment on the paintings of this master figure.

Takeda shenglai also said coldly: "my uncle's paintings are bought by Gongqing in Beijing. Your skills are low. Don't slander my uncle's paintings at will."

Li Xiao ignored Takeda shenglai and took a look at the fan. Takeda Xinlian's painting skills are really high. Even he can't draw. After this new rain in the empty mountains, the vitality of green bamboo growth floats vividly on the paper with just a few sketches.

Now Li Xiao is a bit difficult to ride a tiger. He can't say that there is a problem with this painting out of nothing. Moreover, he can't say with his own level. If he doesn't say anything, he will despise the people of the Takeda family and make shenglai ridicule again.

Li Xiaowei smiled and found a way to close the fan, return both hands, and then said, "your painting skills are really first-class, making me impeccable."

Listening to Li Xiao's words, Takeda Xinlian took over the fan and nodded calmly. Li Xiao said, "but it's a little flawed."

Li Xiao's words confused everyone. He said impeccable in front and flawless in the back. This is not self contradiction. Just when Takeda shenglai wanted to scold Li Xiao, Takeda Xinlian waved to the other party not to say more and asked, "what else do you say is wrong?"

Li Xiao said calmly, "I think there is a large blank in the lower right corner of your fan. I think this painting is still short of a good poem, so it's not good enough. I happen to have a word here, which is worthy of the artistic conception in this painting."

After hearing this, Takeda shinlian brightened his eyes and hurriedly asked, "please speak quickly."

Li Xiao nodded and went to the camp. He chanted: "don't listen to the sound of wearing trees and beating leaves. Why not sing and walk slowly. Bamboo sticks and sandals are lighter than horses. Who is afraid! A rain or a rain will last all his life."

Don't listen to the sound of beating leaves through the forest... Takeda Xinlian repeatedly read Li Xiao's words three or four times, and suddenly slapped himself on the thigh. Takeda Xinlian hurried to the table, took a deep breath, lifted the pen written by Li Xiao just now, read the words and inscribed on the fan like a dragon and a Phoenix.

After drying the ink, Takeda Xinlian gently folded the fan, and then looked like no one else, singing and dancing for a period of time.

Xinlian's behavior is quite strange in Li Xiao's eyes. It seems that when the Japanese are extremely happy or sad and need to vent their feelings, they will dance like a madman.

On the eve of the Tuscan war, which was related to the survival of the Zhitian family, the famous shinchang Zhitian was sleeping under the quilt. When he heard the news of today's Sichuan Yiyuan camping, he immediately got up and ordered Xiao Xing to pour wine and drink a cup of wine in the quilt. Half drunk, he stood up and sang and danced the "fifty years of the world" in the famous Neng Le (Dunsheng), Then he immediately sent troops to fight at night and muddled through today's Sichuan Yiyuan.

Xinlian's words are harmony songs. Harmony songs belong to the pronunciation of Medieval Japanese. Li Xiao naturally can't understand them.

But when Xinlian finished his dance, he sighed, shook his folding fan a few times, and said with emotion like a poet: "Chinese culture is really broad and profound. Compared with the words of the great poet Su Shi, the secluded and mysterious situation in his poetry can not be compared with one tenth of our painting skills."

The Chinese level of Takeda Xinlian is really good. This poem was written by Su Shi, a great poet, in which the artistic conception of freehand brushwork is appropriate to the scene of this painting.

Li Xiao has an old face. Fortunately, he didn't do the big work of plagiarism just now. Otherwise, if he is exposed, he will have no face to be right.

After saying that, Xinlian tied the folding fan at his waist and took a big step without saying a word. And Takeda shenglai, Takeda Xinfeng, seeing Li Xiao's words, convinced his literary uncle, and stared in surprise.

Li Xiao just held his chest with both hands and smiled demurely. He had the temperament of sub outfit B.

"Takeda shenglai."

Takeda shenglai thought about it and was about to leave the account. At this time, Li Xiao suddenly called him and called his name impolitely.

Takeda shenglai raised his eyebrows and seemed to think Li Xiao was going to make trouble for himself. Li Xiao said faintly, "I know you are biased against me. I don't care about what others think of me, but if you have prejudices about people and things, your views must be biased and not comprehensive. I hope you can write down this sentence."

Takeda shenglai heard Li Xiao say so and said with a hum, "these great principles don't need you to teach me."

"No, your father asked me to guide your martial arts. In that case, I have the responsibility to teach you. It's like a martial arts contest. If you can't face your opponent objectively and calmly, you'll lose without competition. If you've been like this all your life, you'll always be a reckless man!"

Hearing Li Xiao's harsh words, Takeda shenglai immediately flushed, snorted heavily and rushed out of the account.

At this time, Xinfeng said, "Li Xiao, if you say shenglai like this, is it a little heavier?"

Li Xiao shook his head. Shenglai ridiculed himself again and again. He was not a man with a bad temper. He said to Xinfeng faintly: "jade is not cut into stone, so it will be good for him in the future."

Xinfeng hesitated and said, "but after all, he is the son of the Lord. Besides, he is so impatient. If his mind is hot and makes something impulsive, it will be bad."

Li Xiao agreed. They paid the bill together and asked the bodyguard. They learned that shenglai had rode a horse and ran all the way out of the camp gate.

It's not good for them to scream. There are spies and detailed works of Shangshan family nearby. It's bad if something happens to shenglai.

So Li Xiao and Xinfeng took five or six warriors and cavalry respectively and went out of the camp to find shenglai.
