Chapter 16-Continuing the training

This time, Wang Wei took Yin Yue to visit a different place. They entered the forest beyond the river and walked through the forest .The sun was still young and a cool breeze was passing.It was refreshing to have a walk in the forest.

After about half an hour of walking, they reached to a hillside.From the bottom,Yin Yue could see that it was a hillock about two hundred meters high.

"Miss, we are going to practice today at the hilltop.Can miss manage to climb up?"Wang Wei asked.

Without saying anything,she started to climb up.Wang Wei was not using his full strength and keep climbing with medium speed.Yin Yue was catching up to his speed without much trouble.Wang Wei's One objective of making her climb this mountain was to check her progress.He could observe that she had improved herself for better during last week's time.Her stamina and speed had improved visibly.

After about another half an hour ,they reached the mountain top.

At the mountain top, the young sun was shining brightly, illuminating the surrounding with golden light.They could see the whole area like a map.Bellow the hilltop ,the greenery was spred beautifully.Beyond that,the river Hwa was flowing like a silver snake.Pu nam city,with its roads,houses,walls,market place,inns could be seen getting smaller and smaller.

Watching that beautiful scenery ,Yin Yue took a deep breath,closing her eyes.A calm look was coming to her face,with a faint smile appearing and disappearing on her lips.

Wang Wei knew very clearly that what thoughts gave her strength to keep living.But another thing he knew very clearly was, those thoughts of avenging her family were very heavy for her little mind.So he wanted to give her atleast a small chance of experiencing the serenity and healing power of nature.He hoped it would help to prevent the pure innocence nature of her little mind at least a bit.

After another few moments,she opened her eyes and looked at Wang Wei.

"uncle,what am I going to learn today?"she asked Wang Wei.

"Miss, today I'm going to teach you how to breathe" Wang Wei told her.

Wang Wei clearly saw the questioning look in her eyes, although she didn't say anything.

Wang Wei indeed had planned to teach her breathing techniques to let her improve herself better because practicing and regulating the breathing patterns was essential in improving her inner power and strength of the movements.

Both of them sat facing the sun,bending their legs from knees and crossing them.

Enjoying the spreading warmth of sun,they started their practice.

Wang Wei asked Yin Yue to concentrate on her breathing.

He instructed her to do breath ins and outs slowly first,then to adjust the length of breaths as long breaths...He made her practice to retain her breath for some time,incresed the retaining time of breath..

After practicing for a considerable time, they stopped it and got up.Then Wang Wei started teaching her some martial arts movements which required the breathing control.When learning those movements ,she was able to distinguish the usage of different breathing patterns like diaphragmatic breathing, abdominal breathing,..etc.

They concluded their morning training session from breathing practice.Then left the hilltop to come back.

When they come back to the city,it was almost noon.They went to their usual inn and ordered lunch.They sat around a corner table in the inn. It was a bit isolated and they could talk leisurely while observing the whole inn.

After finishing their meal,they continued their talk in the same place.

"Miss, Tomorrow I have to leave for capital.I am incharge of handing over a dozen horses ordered by various people in the capital."Wang Wei informed Yin Yue.

"During this journey, I hope to contact with my fellow soldiers I left in the capital while coming here" he added.

Yin Yue kept listening without showing any changes in her expressions .

"And I think ,now it is high time to start our intelligence service to gather information "Wang Wei explained clearly, yet in a low voice despite anyone wasn't paying attention to them.

"Intelligence service ?"Yin Yue had a question regarding it.

"Yes miss, to complete our mission,we have to keep in touch with the latest news of our enemy.But while staying here,we can't do that ourselves.Therefore we should get help from our allies "Wang Wei explained.

Yin Yue nodded understanding the point.

"I will teach basics about gathering information in our evening lessons"Wang Wei said further.
