In the early morning, from time to time on the streets paved with blue bricks, carriages bearing the brands of various stores drove into the white stone archway of the Imperial College under the escort of their entourage.

As the highest institution of higher education in the Northern Liang Dynasty, the students studying in the Imperial College of Yanjing cover all parts of the Northern Liang Dynasty, and even include foreign students from the Xihai tribes and the Southern Dynasties. The scale is naturally quite large.

Thousands of people are eating, drinking and having fun, which is all business. Therefore, many merchants have gathered in the surrounding area. In the early morning, you can see a nearby small street full of young men dressed as scholars.

At one of the wonton stalls, students could be seen gathered around in groups, chatting about some of the strange things that had happened in the capital recently:

"...the fun was quite fancy. It is said that the Marquis from Zhonglou Street was the host, and he ordered eight oirans from Suijin Street to add to the fun. After three rounds of drinking, he started playing wine and ordering. Whoever was lucky enough to draw would get a share.

There are three roads: front and back..."

"Hey~! I'm afraid this will cost a lot of money..."

"Don't listen to his nonsense. What I heard is that a few people were drinking together. Master Hua's son found out that Jingyanghou's retainer was strange, so he killed him with one palm. Jingyanghou was furious at first, but afterwards

Upon investigation, I discovered that the guest was actually a barbarian from the Southern Dynasties who committed adultery, robbery, and all kinds of evil. I was immediately shocked..."

"Didn't I say Qinglong would kill him?"

"Well, the Hua family doesn't need these things to increase their reputation. It must be Master Hua's son who doesn't want to be famous, so he deliberately pushed this matter to the Qinglong Society. In reality, the high-ranking officials all have a clear conscience..."

…

On the table next door, another secret was being discussed:

"It seems like a big dragon has arrived in the capital these past two days..."

"Brother Li, why did you say this?"

"According to rumors, both the black and white teams are now tracking down a group of people. Does Zhang Laosi of the West City know? He is the one who is known as the 'know-it-all'. It is said that from yesterday to today, four waves of people came to the door to inquire about information. Please be polite.

They will pay you money and use coercion and inducement, they will beat you first and then ask questions without any courtesy, and you will be beaten to death if you can't ask questions..."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk... Could it be that the Night Demon from the Southern Dynasties came to Yanjing?"

"No, it is said that they are the 'Five Immortals of the East China Sea'. They have just come from overseas. They have great Taoist teachings and methods. The Imperial Preceptor's Office, the Twelve Institutes, the Criminal Department, the Qinglong Society, the Cao Gang, etc. were all alarmed. Didn't you notice?

, there are more police officers patrolling this morning, and there are also a lot of gang thugs hanging around?"

"It's really... eh! Miss Hua is here, hurry up..."

…

On the avenue outside the small street, a large, inconspicuous carriage, with a sign with the word 'Wan' on it, drove slowly towards the grand archway of the Imperial College.

There were four guards on the left and right sides of the carriage. Ye Jingtang was walking in front on the right, chatting with Hua Ning about trivial matters along the way:

"Why are there so many police officers on the street today?"

Hua Ning came all the way from Wanbao Tower and noticed that there were more scoundrels patrolling the streets than usual, but he did not think of it as the whereabouts of Night Terror Hall being exposed.

After all, when the news of the King of Hell's visit to Yanjing was leaked, the imperial court did not simply send a few miscellaneous fish to patrol the streets. At least it was a scene of mobilizing the imperial army, sealing the nine gates, and summoning heroes from all walks of life to join the king.

Hua Ning thought about it for a moment:

"It should be that something happened at Chunmanlou yesterday, and the person who died was a retainer of the Hou Mansion. The commotion was too big and it was hard to suppress it. The Twelve Stations are symbolically searching for the gangsters, to show the common people."

Even the Nine-Aperture Exquisite Heart of the Night Terror Hall cannot possibly understand that Yanjing is currently in the bizarre stage of 'the black and white are coordinating, and the northern and southern dynasties are jointly enforcing the law to catch the five snake peak monsters'. Hearing this, he also felt that it might be the spring of yesterday

There was a lot of commotion all over the building, so I didn't pay much attention to it at the moment, and turned to look at the car window.

In the carriage, Hua Qingzhi put on the Imperial College uniform, which was probably a warm white skirt, covered with a green gauze gown, and her hair was tied up with a wooden hairpin instead of jewelery accessories.

Because Hua Qingzhi herself is not very old, not much different from Yunli, so dressed up like this, she looks much more immature, like a high school student, but her appearance is still attractive, with a strong bookish air in her youth, and her demeanor is

Soft and elegant, she looks like a lady from a famous family.

At this time, Hua Qingzhi was sitting by the car window, looking at the school she had been away from for several months; while Niaoniao wanted to accompany Qinghe and Yunli to the city to find out about the 'Five Monsters on Snake Peak'.

Not in the carriage.

Seeing that Ye Jingtang was approaching the gate of the Imperial College, he asked:

"When will the lady return home?"

Hua Qingzhi knew that Ye Jingtang still had her own affairs to be busy with, so she wanted to send her to the Imperial Academy, then go do some personal business and pick her up in the afternoon. She responded:

"Sir, if you don't have any arrangements for the afternoon, you can go back home. If you have arrangements, you won't know for sure until the evening. When you get there later, you can go to the city to buy some good fabrics and take them home. You don't have to wait outside.

.”

Ye Jingtang understood that this was giving him free time and accepted the order with a smile.

While the two were talking, a noise suddenly came from a side street.

Ye Jingtang turned around and saw a group of young people in school uniforms running directly towards the carriage:

"Junior sister Hua is back..."

"Sister Hua, you brought a lot of luggage, right? I'll help you move it in..."

…

In order to keep a low profile, Hua Qingzhi did not make public the matter of her granddaughter in Washington, but her talent and reputation surpassed all the beauties in Yanjing, and her appearance was stunning. Although she had some problems with her legs and feet, this did not prevent many students in Yanjing from pursuing her.

Hua Qingzhi is not aloof and aloof. She was taught to be courteous and courteous to others since she was a child. Although it is hard to resist being so kind, she still greets everyone with a smile:

"Senior Brother Wang has gained some weight after the Chinese New Year... Junior Brother Zhao, why are your eyes red? Did you sneak out to play again last night..."

…

In the past, Ye Jingtang often escorted Dabenben's cars. No strangers were allowed to enter wherever they passed. Not even a passerby who came over to say hello, not even a passerby dared to look up.

Now that Hua Qingzhi was escorting the car, he was suddenly surrounded by a group of young men, some of whom even pushed him to the side. He felt a little uncomfortable and wanted to draw a knife to scare the rest of the gang away from getting close to the protection target.

But at the gate of the Imperial College, it was obviously inappropriate to draw a knife to scare people. Ye Jingtang had no choice but to use his body as a barrier like Hua Ning and escort the carriage to the gate of the Imperial College.

After the carriage stopped, Ye Jingtang moved the wheelchair out of the car, and Luzhu helped Hua Qingzhi get out of the car. However, a group of followers still did not disperse, following behind and chattering. Some people even talked about these writers.

Let Hua Qingzhi comment on the poem.

Ye Jingtang pushed the wheelchair behind him to prevent others from getting too close. After walking for a while, he started to feel confident. After all, "a turtle is as wide as the palm of his hand, with its four feet underneath and its head in the sky". He can also get on top of it.

ah.

And Hua Qingzhi is also very patient. She didn’t laugh at these messy things, but she also carefully evaluated and gave advice and made suggestions for modifications.

And just when everyone was busy, Ye Jingtang suddenly found a young man coming from a distance, holding a scroll in his hand. Because he was wearing a student uniform without an entourage, his status could not be seen. He greeted him as soon as he walked in.

:

"Junior sister Hua, you are here too."

The people following behind raised their heads when they heard this, and immediately greeted them politely:

"Oh, Mr. Wang! Are you coming here to study in person?"

"Yes... hmm?! You're not talking nonsense..."

…

When Ye Jingtang heard this, he really couldn't stand it any longer and asked Lu Zhu next to him in a low voice:

"Who is this?"

Lu Zhu obviously recognized the eldest grandson of the Wang family and whispered:

"Wang Jiwen, Wang Guifei's nephew, has a very high status. He spends his days having fun and rarely comes to the Imperial College..."

Hua Qingzhi obviously recognized Wang Jiwen, because the two families had a good relationship on the surface, and their attitudes had not changed. She nodded and said:

"Prince."

Wang Jiwen tapped the scroll with his palms, and he felt a bit graceful while walking. When he came to the front, he glanced at the guards in front of the wheelchair, and without asking, he locked onto Ye Jingtang who was standing behind him pushing the wheelchair, and his eyes lit up slightly:

"Oh~ Miss Hua, the guard chief is really Zhou Zheng."

How could Hua Qingzhi dare to push Ye Jingtang to the stage? She said modestly:

"Young Master Wang is overly rewarded. He is just a servant recruited by the family. How can he compare to Mr. Wang's case."

Wang Jiwen came to school today just to see what the person Situ Yanfeng was looking for was like.

When I saw him at this time, although his skin was not very good and was very yellow due to wind and sun, his bones and figure were perfect, and he looked a bit bigger overall. If he met the eldest princess who likes strong men, I'm afraid it would be really difficult.

Can't walk.

Since the person he was looking for met his expectations, Wang Jiwen naturally didn't look too closely at him and started to greet Hua Qingzhi.

Hua Qingzhi chatted for a few words, then her target fell on the scroll in Wang Jiwen's hand and asked:

"This painting is..."

When Wang Jiwen heard this, he opened the scroll like a treasure:

"Spring has just begun, and the Xixia Temple outside the city is very beautiful. Many people go there to enjoy spring outings. The imperial concubine stays in the palace all year round. She wanted to go but it was inconvenient, so I wanted to paint a picture and send it to her. Miss Hua is a master of calligraphy and painting.

, you come and help me control my eyes, see if the imperial concubine will be happy to see you."

While talking, the scroll was fully unfolded, and the scenery above came into view of many students, and the scene became silent.

"...?"

Ye Jingtang stood behind the wheelchair and looked at the "overgrown picture" on the scroll. To be honest, he was shocked!
To be continued...
