Chapter 30 Tit for tat(1/2)
Due to the curfew, Chang'an City at night is in sharp contrast to the hustle and bustle during the day.
In the silent night sky, a crescent moon hangs in the distance.
For most people in Chang'an, this is just an ordinary night, but for many noble families, it is a sleepless night.
There are not a few noble children who have the same experience as Xue Er. In most noble families, it is natural that the eldest son has the best resources, and the same goes for good educational resources.
However, not all noble children will choose to remain silent when they are treated in this way.
The palms and backs of their hands are full of flesh. At this moment, these nobles are secretly regretting that they did not take the academy seriously at first, so that they sent their sons who were not valued at home to make up for the loss and sell favors.
"Oh, if I had known this, I would have regretted it earlier!"
Xue Mansion, early in the morning, the housekeeper came in a hurry to report.
"My master is not well."
Xue Wanche's eyes narrowed, and the murderous aura accumulated over many years of fighting on the battlefield was so overwhelming that the housekeeper could hardly breathe.
"What's the matter?"
"Second Young Master, Second Young Master left a letter and disappeared."
"Oh?" Xue Wanche didn't pay too much attention. He took the letter, glanced at it, crumpled it into a ball and threw it into the wastebasket.
"Stupid, childish."
This is Xue Wanche's evaluation of his son's escape. He believes that as long as he comes forward to negotiate, the academy will definitely give him face, and then it won't matter whether his son wants to come back or not.
"I thought I would make some progress after entering the academy, but it seems like that's all."
This further strengthened Xue Wanche's determination to send his eldest son to the academy. In his opinion, his second son was not talented enough and had not figured out this powerful relationship.
However, in fact, Xue Er, who was already outside Chang'an City at this moment, knew better than anyone else that his father would definitely come to the academy to take him back.
But he really wanted to stay in the academy to study. Over the past month, he had already gotten used to being pulled up by Niu Jinda to run around every morning. He was also used to the smell of food in the cafeteria. He could not forget the gentlemen's respectful teachings.
I can’t forget to play hard on the court with my classmates after school.
Even if there is only a glimmer of hope, he will not give up.
Just when Xue Er fell into confusion, there was a rapid sound of horse hooves behind him, and a fast horse galloped past him. The horse was so startled that it almost knocked him to the ground.
"Hey, Li Sanlang, what are you doing?"
The young man running in front was an excellent horseman. Hearing the shout, he reined in the galloping horse and looked back.
"Xue Er, why are you here too?"
Before Xue Er could answer, there was a rapid sound of horse hooves behind him, and someone shouted.
"Third Young Master, please don't run away. I said it will be useless even if you run back to the academy."
Li Sanlang gritted his teeth and shouted to Xue Er: "Xue Er, I still have to take one step in advance!"
Looking at Li Sanlang's back, Xue Er couldn't help but smile bitterly. It seemed that he was not the only one to have such an experience.
"Li Sanlang wait for me."
Using his horse and whip, Xue Er quickly caught up with Li Sanlang. The two looked at each other and smiled, but there was some inexplicable bitterness in the laughter.
"It seems that you also ran away from home."
"Isn't it the same for you?"
"Haha, if you hurry up, whoever reaches the academy gate last will wash the other person's socks!"
"Then you're done!"
The two of them rushed all the way to the entrance of the academy, only to find that several classmates were already waiting at the entrance.
"You ran away from home too?"
Several people looked at each other and smiled bitterly. In the past, when these dandy boys saw each other's misfortune, they would inevitably laugh at each other. However, at this moment, we are all reduced to humans in the world, and some are just like rabbits and foxes.
The old man at the concierge seemed to have heard the movement outside the door. He opened the door and took a look, giving a kind reminder.
"Dear gentlemen, tomorrow is the Double Ninth Festival, and the academy will not hold classes."
Xue Er and others bowed deeply to the old concierge: "Old man, I'm going to return to the hospital early. Please make it easier."
"That's it, all young gentlemen, please hurry up and defeat the old man."
Crossing the gate of the academy again, Xue Er and others felt as if they were in another world.
"Everyone, let me go and ask the mountain chief to make the decision." Li Sanlang suggested.
"That's right, go ask the mountain chief to make the decision. Maybe there is room for tact in this matter."
Hope was rekindled in everyone's hearts.
At the same time, there was a rapid sound of horse hooves outside the academy gate, and a group of people were about to break in.
The old concierge quickly stopped him: "Wait a minute, the academy is an important place and no one can enter."
These servants of noble families were used to showing off their power in Chang'an City, so how could they take this old man seriously and smile contemptuously.
"Humph, I am the steward of Yixing County's official family. Not to mention your small academy, I have also been to the palace."
After that, I will lead someone to break in.
The old man sneered without saying anything, and took out a gong and struck it three times.
Before these noble servants could react, they heard the sound of a crossbow being cocked, and then a group of sergeants with helmets and armor rushed out from the academy gate and surrounded the group of people.
"Grandma, who is this blind person who dares to trespass into the important place of the academy!"
The steward who was so arrogant just now was so frightened that he knelt down when he saw the visitor.
"Niu...Lord Niu!"
Niu Jinda placed the big knife on the steward's shoulder with a grim smile, making him shake like chaff in a sieve.
"Boy, do you know that the people who study in this academy are either from the duke's family, the county prince's family, or even the prince. Now that you are leading people to trespass, do you want to rebel?"
The person in charge was so frightened that he peed on the spot and kowtowed: "Master Niu, this villain cannot bear this crime. For the sake of our master, just treat the villain as a fart and let him go."
.”
"Bah, if it weren't for Gao Shilian's sake, I would have killed you a long time ago. Get out of here. If anyone dares to break into the academy without permission, I won't recognize anyone with this precious sword!"
"Get out!"
The person in charge ran away as if he had been granted amnesty. The others did not dare to touch Niu Jinda's steel knife with their necks when they saw this, so they could only return home in despair to report. It would be better to be punished than lose their heads.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "It has to be General Niu who can shock these bastards." The old man laughed at Niu Jinda.
Niu Jinda shook his head, came to the gate of the academy, looked inside and sighed.
"There's only so much I can do. Whether they can stay or not depends on their luck."
........
It's rare that he doesn't have to go to class. Qin Hao is meditating in the dormitory. He has already understood the inner scene, but the increase in Qi is not ideal. There is still only a very thin wisp. However, Qin Hao is not in a hurry. After all, he has come to this world.
However, there is still a year, and there is still time. If it is not possible, there are still two elixir recipes from Yuan Tiangang. Although there are no specific refining steps, as long as a large amount of resources are poured in, with AlphaGo's computing power, the refining method should be restored.
It's not a difficult thing.
Just when Qin Hao was about to get up and go to the cafeteria to have some breakfast, he heard a rush of footsteps outside.
"Is Mr. Qin here?"
"Enter."
Xue Er and his entourage filed in. After saluting, he immediately asked eagerly: "Mr. Qin, does he know where Mr. Li Shan has gone?"
"Tomorrow is the Double Ninth Festival. Naturally, Chief Li Shan will go home to reunite with his family. Why are you looking for Chief Li Shan?" Qin Hao asked with a frown.
Xue Er and his party turned pale when they heard this. Li Gang was not only the prince's teacher, but also an upright man. They knew very well that with the power of their respective families, the whole court would be shaken together. The only hope was to invite Li Gang to join.
Gong Miansheng asked Li Shimin to come forward to make them stay.
"What happened? You are all in a panic." Qin Hao asked.
Xue Er and his party had no choice but to tell their story.
Qin Hao was so angry: "Where do they think the academy is? Let whoever they want come come?"
"You all wait here, I will enter the palace right away."
Xue Er suddenly remembered, yes, even though Qin Hao is young and his title is not high, he has a gold medal in his hand and can enter the palace at any time.
After riding on Chiyue, Qin Hao thought for a while and went to Yun Mansion and dragged Yun Ye out of bed.
"Senior brother, I finally took a day off, but you can't let me rest for a while." Yun Ye complained vaguely.
Qin Hao directly told Xue Er and the others what happened. Yun Ye woke up immediately and cursed loudly while getting dressed.
"These bastards, what kind of academy do they think they are?"
Qin Hao and Yun Ye rode towards Chang'an City on horseback and whipped their whips.
In the Tai Chi Hall, Li Shimin was handling government affairs when he suddenly heard a report from the eunuch beside him.
