Unexpectedly, Shen Ning didn't play any tricks this time. She sat at the table and kept writing from noon to sunset.
The room gradually darkened, and the night pearl emitted a soft radiance from her sleeves, but the twilight became thicker and thicker, filling the entire study.
The Master of Zixiao Pavilion was afraid that someone would disturb Shen Ning and make this eccentric girl change her mind, so he lit the candle himself with a fire knife and flint instead of asking anyone to come in and light the lamp.
When he saw that the ink in the inkstone was dry, he added some water and polished the ink.
If his disciples saw this situation, they would all be shocked.
But the Master of Zixiao Pavilion didn't care. After polishing the ink, he picked up the manuscript written by Shen Ning and read it carefully word by word.
The first military book written by Shen Ning was "Sun Tzu's Art of War". Of course, the contents of this military book had been tampered with beyond recognition by her.
For example, it was written in the original book that it is not suitable to set up camp in densely forested areas to prevent the enemy from using fire attacks. She changed it to say that it is easy to set up camp in densely forested areas, which is convenient for concealment and difficult to be discovered by the enemy.
Especially when it came to the actual combat chapter at the end, she was even more imaginative, and she wrote random close-ups as she pleased, creating things out of nothing, and reality out of imaginary.
Anyway, the real "Sun Tzu's Art of War" is in Mo Chuan's hands. No matter how powerful the master of Zixiao Pavilion is, he can't get it. As long as he can't compare the two, he won't be able to tell the truth from the fake.
But she wrote the general part of the opening chapter very well.
"Soldiers who, deception also."
The master of Zixiao Pavilion read slowly, feeling that the meaning of the words was clumsy and that every word had far-reaching meanings. Then when he saw the chapter "The Beginning of Planning" that wrote about strategic planning, he felt that every word and every sentence written in the book was like, All of them made his eyes light up, among which strategic concepts such as "war with caution", "five things and seven strategies", and "twelve tricks of deceit" were like opening a window in front of his eyes, allowing him to see another A world I have never experienced before.
The more he read, the more excited he became. The toilet paper he was holding trembled slightly. His eyes stared at the words on the paper for a moment. He read like a treasure, and his face couldn't help showing a look of ecstasy.
Of course, he would never have imagined that the military book he read was completely different from the original text.
Shen Ning wrote until it was completely dark and finally finished revising "Sun Tzu's Art of War". She put down her pen, rubbed her sore wrist, stretched out, and looked sideways at the Master of Zixiao Pavilion.
The master of Zixiao Pavilion didn't realize it. His attention was completely attracted by the military book in his hand. He opened and closed his lips slightly and recited silently.
"In the chapter on fire attacks, all fire attacks must be responded to due to the changes of the five fires. If fire occurs outside, respond to it internally early. When fire occurs and the soldiers are still, attack at the right time. When fire occurs outside, wait and do not attack. … Strange, this sentence is so strange, it doesn’t seem to make sense.”
He frowned, puzzled.
Shen Ning was secretly amused, because she had already made such a confusing statement, and even she didn't understand it. How could the master of Zixiao Pavilion think clearly
"Girl, do you understand the meaning of this book?" The master of Zixiao Pavilion felt his scalp hurt from thinking about it, and he couldn't figure out the meaning of this sentence. He always felt that it was paradoxical, but he did not suspect that Shen Ning was faking it at all. .
Speaking of which, this was Shen Ning's deliberate attack on her heart. She knew that the harder something was to get, the more ordinary people would value it.
