Chapter 810: The Art of War
That day, Ji Yunshu packed her things and moved to Bamboo Creek Garden.
Jing Rong also shamelessly packed up his belongings and followed them.
Of course, Wei Yi also followed.
It was like moving his entire family!
Currently, almost everyone in the capital was paying attention to the 'Lin Capital Case' that Ji Yunshu was working on.
The younger ones were just there to watch the show. They wanted to see what kind of ability Lord Ji had to be able to identify the person who was burned to death fifteen years ago (it had already been a year) just by looking at the portrait.
The older ones were really curious. After all, the fire at the Imperial Duke's residence had shaken the entire capital. Now that so many years had passed, the Imperial Duke had ordered for the case to be overturned. It was obvious that there was more to it than meets the eye. Was it a natural disaster?
In any case, they moved out a stool and placed melon seeds on it.
They were waiting for the news!
Ji Yunshu, who was watched by countless eyes, spent most of her time in the central room where the coffins were placed and in the study.
She almost never left Bamboo Creek Garden.
She devoted herself to the case.
After half a month, she completed a few more portraits.
Only seven were left!
They were getting closer and closer …
Of course, Jing Rong wasn't idle either. Other than attending court sessions, he also secretly sent people to investigate what happened that year. He started with the Ministry of War. He wanted to know who was the one who ordered the transfer of the Imperial Duke's troops. He hoped to find out whose order it was.
Was it the Imperial Duke's order?
Or someone else?
The answer was that the person was already dead!
The trail was cut off and there was no way to investigate. In short, everyone related to that night … was dead.
The remaining soldiers of the Imperial Duke's residence did not know the truth. They only knew that they had to obey the order upon seeing the token. They did not ask too much.
Therefore, the only clue now was the sole survivor of the Imperial Duke's residence.
Jing Rong's investigation was fruitless, so he stayed in Bamboo Creek Garden whenever he had time.
Recently, he was free and at ease. When he was in a good mood, he would even teach Wei Yi how to read and ask questions.
That kid was a fast learner!
One day, while Ji Yunshu was focused on studying the skeleton, he found a book and threw it at Wei Yi.
"Come, come. Today, I will teach you Sun Tzu's Art of War."
Correct your attitude and posture.
Wei Yi was taken aback. He flipped through the book in front of him a few times, as if he was really concentrating on reading. However, his brows furrowed, as if he didn't quite understand what was being said.
Jing Rong smiled and took the book from his hands. In a serious tone, he said, "Listen carefully. There are many things in Sun Tzu's Art of War. It's understandable that you don't understand it. However, with this Prince here, you only need to study diligently. This Prince will teach you diligently. However, before you learn, you must first memorize the thirty-six stratagems. Which thirty-six stratagems are there? You must …"
"I know." Wei Yi quickly answered.
"You know? Have you finished reading this book? "
"I saw it just now."
"How much have you seen just now?"
Wei Yi's warm eyes gradually drooped down. His brows were filled with wisdom as he said seriously, "The first stratagem is to cross the sea by deceiving the heavens. The second stratagem is to besiege the besieged by besieging the besieged by besieging the besieged by besieging the besieged by besieging the besieged by besieging the besieged by besieging the besieged by besieging the besieged by besieging the besieged by besieging the besieged. “
He rattled on and on, explaining all thirty-six stratagems.
Not a single word was wrong.
Jing Rong was startled and shocked. He couldn't believe it. "You only read a few times and you've already memorized everything. Wei Yi, do you know that no matter how smart a person is, even Yunshu can't compare to you?"
Jing Rong had no other words to describe it.
Wei Yi didn't care about his surprised expression. He replied seriously, "No, the smartest person in this world is Shu 'er."
His eyes were resolute.
There was no room for argument.
Jing Rong met his clear eyes. He knew that if this kid became smarter in the future, even he wouldn't be able to compete with him.
The two's eyes met.
Wei Yi said, "Actually, we are very similar."
"Similar?"
"Eyes. Our eyes are very similar."
Huh?
Jing Rong took a closer look and had to admit that it was indeed so.
Jing Rong muttered in his heart, Wei Yi, of course we are similar! You and I both have royal blood flowing in our veins.
"Can you tell me what's the secret crossing?" Wei Yi asked.
Jing Rong interrupted his thoughts.
"Of course."
Jing Rong flipped to the section on 'Secret Crossing' and poked at it with his well-defined finger. "Simply put, this means that for a certain purpose, one's true intentions are hidden behind an action that will not arouse suspicion, making it impossible for others to detect it."
"What about taking drastic measures from the bottom of the cauldron?"
Jing Rong was very patient. He flipped to the part about taking drastic measures from the bottom of the cauldron and said, "The meaning of this' taking drastic measures from the bottom of the cauldron 'is that some things should not be done openly and should be done in secret. There are two layers to this. The first layer is that during a battle, if necessary, one can carry out schemes in secret to destroy the enemy's camp or disrupt the enemy's morale. This is a type of strategy. The second layer is a derogatory meaning, implying that some people are playing dirty in the dark. “
The explanation was very detailed.
He was like a teacher.
Wei Yi listened attentively and nodded repeatedly to show that he understood.
"What else don't you understand?"
"I understand everything."
"Good. I'll sit here and read carefully. If there's anything you don't understand or don't recognize, feel free to ask me."
"Mm."
Wei Yi read the book attentively.
This' Art of War 'was very thick. There were many things in it and it was very complicated.
Ordinary people would need to spend a long time to understand it, but …
Wei Yi only used three days.
He memorized everything.
He also understood the meaning of the book.
He said that after he finished reading, he would become a general and could go to the battlefield to kill the enemy.
Jing Rong praised him for his fighting spirit and said that he might really go to the battlefield in the future and use the 'Art of War' to kill a few enemies.
He even happily ran to Ji Yunshu to tell her.
She had just opened a coffin and ordered someone to bring out the skeleton. Coincidentally, she was holding a skull in her arms and was carefully inspecting it. Suddenly, she caught a glimpse of Wei Yi and hurriedly put the skull down. Wei Yi had entered the room, and she was examining it carefully.
She was worried that the brat would be afraid!
Who knew …
"I'm not afraid." Wei Yi shook his head.
Ji Yunshu asked, "You're not afraid anymore?"
He walked over. "I remember Shu 'er saying that the scariest thing in this world is the living, not the dead, let alone a skeleton."
"That's right. If the living aren't afraid, why should the dead be afraid?" Ji Yunshu smiled. She noticed the thing in his hand and asked, "What's that in your hand?"
He hurriedly took it out and stretched it forward.
