Chapter 39 Arrival
Seeing that the other person was covered with silk and satin, the jade pendant on his waist was also white jade with mutton fat, and the fan in his hand was made of golden bones, and even the hairpin on his head was shining with golden light. The whole body, from left to right, revealed a scent of pussy everywhere, just a sign was hanging on it and it said that I was a rich man.
In addition, the Ming family experienced this disaster and the funds were not sufficient. Moreover, when they settled in Juyan City, they would have to spend too much money in the early stage. So Mingyue thought about it and asked for a price. No matter how much the price of human life is, it is not too expensive.
"Ah?" Yu Tong was a little surprised, but in a flash he realized it and showed a natural smile on his face, "It should be, Xiao Cui, come here with 10,000 taels."
The rich man is worthy of being a rich man, and his generous move made Mingyue very satisfied. Since Yu Tong is on the road like this, Mingyue rarely squeezes out a smile. In addition, Mingyue found a sense of familiarity on Yu Tong's face, so she is considered a similar person.
"My benefactor..."
"We are similar in age, don't call me benefactor." Mingyue smiled faintly, took the silver note and put it in her arms, "Brother Yu is also going to Juyan City?"
"Yes, I was planning to study at Qinshan Academy, but I didn't expect that I would encounter this incident on the way. If it weren't... by the way, what would I call my benefactor?"
When Mingyue heard this, she suddenly showed a hint of surprise in her eyes. She silently took off the scarf on her face and smiled like a spring breeze. "My name is Mingyue, it seems that we are still very close. This time I am also going to Juyan City and plan to study at Qinshan Academy."
"Oh? Really? That's a coincidence!"
Soon, Mingyue's two carriages and Yu Tong's convoy merged. There was no harm without comparison. When Mingyue's two carriages merged into Yu Tong's convoy, Mingyue understood what a huge difference was.
After that, Yu Tong came to chat with Mingyue without any trouble. After a while, the two of them became familiar with each other.
Yu Tong came from Mingxing City. The Yu family originally had an industry in Juyan City. Yu's Trading Company is also a first-class trading company in Juyan City, with many industries including auction houses, gold, silver and jewelry houses, and cloth and silk.
Mingyue also understood why Yu Tong's accompanying was all women except for the guards. Their loves were originally engaged in women's business.
Yu Tong and Mingyue have the same purpose, and they went to Qinshan Academy to study for martial arts. This surprised Mingyue very much. However, Yu Tong said that because he was weak, he planned to practice martial arts and strengthen his body. Besides, the martial arts of the Dragon Que Dynasty were not just about dancing swords and guns, but also based on military strategies and strategies.
Mingyue is not the kind of person who is cold and unaware of people. Soon, Mingyue and Yu Tong became brothers.
Before we knew it, it was the next morning again. As the sun just rose, the convoy's pace slowly stopped. Mingyue woke up after taking a nap. The moment she opened her eyes, she saw a towering ancient city looming in the clouds and mist in the distance, like a mirage.
"Is this the giant rock city?"
"Master, this is Giant Rock City! We can enter the city before noon!" Zhao Gang seemed to be a little moved, and after saying a word, he let out a long sigh.
Qinshan Academy is located in the North City of Juyan City. Almost all the Beicheng District has developed around Qinshan Academy. Qinshan Academy is the top academy in southern Xinjiang and one of the symbols of Juyan City.
Those who know Qinshan Academy may not know that there is Juyan City, but those who know Juyan City almost all know that Qinshan Academy of Juyan City is very big. Even if the entire Qinshan is placed in Juyan City, it only occupies a corner of the north of Juyan City.
At the end of April, the peach blossoms all over the mountain have withered. But the scenery on Qin Mountain has just begun. The peach blossoms have fallen, the flowers are in full bloom, the gurgling water flows across the mountain stream, and the birds are singing warmly.
The bamboo forest, water pavilions, and elegant residences are endless. There are blue sky and white sun outside, and the sound of reading inside. The crisp bells record the rise and fall of the mountains. The fallen leaves and books are withering and flourishing every year.
A middle-aged scholar walked among the pavilions and towers with two volumes of books in hand. From time to time, students saluted him and greeted him. He nodded slightly in response, but he did not hesitate at all.
Soon, the scholar followed the stone steps to the door of an isolated house on the top of the mountain. Compared with the endless houses below, the small house seemed a bit old and even more shabby.
However, none of the people in Qinshan Academy dared to look down on this hut at all, and even stood in the distance and looked at the hut with deep respect.
The mountains are not high and the water is not deep. It doesn’t matter whether the house is gorgeous and exquisite. What’s important is who lives in this room.
Li Xiu, the chief of Qinshan Academy, was one of the ten great scholars of the world. In his early years, he was appointed as a cabinet bachelor. After retiring, he did not forget to exude his remaining heat to Qinshan Academy to cultivate talents who govern the world and peace for the Longque Dynasty.
Even the city lord of Juyan City would respectfully call the mountain leader the elder. Li Xiu is already eighty years old this year, but his body is still strong. Li Xiu is also proficient in health preservation. He walks from the top of the mountain to the foot of the mountain every day, and then walks up the top of the mountain from the foot of the mountain.
Even a strong young man would be out of breath when he walked back and forth like this, but Li Xiu was able to calm down.
The middle-aged scholar gently knocked on the bell at the door, and soon a tough response came from inside, "Come in!"
There were several rows of fruits and vegetables planted in the yard, while Liu Xiu was basking in the sunset on the recliner in the yard and was reading a book.
"So it's Su Wan! Is there anything wrong?" Li Xiu put down the book and showed a kind and kind smile on his face.
"Master, the results of the martial arts entrance examination today have come out. There are 780 students who want to enroll, but only 107 have passed the assessment..."
"Oh? It's a little lower than in previous years..."
"This is also the worldly market. Rich families practice martial arts and poor children study. And how many rich children are willing to make up for their martial arts? And those who are good at martial arts are vulgar martial arts who are not good at literature and ingenuity.
It is okay to go into battle to kill the enemy, but participating in the martial arts ceremony is a joke. Therefore, there are even fewer talents who are both literary and martial.
"Since the result is done, you can do it yourself. Is there any difficulty in meeting me?" Li Xiu asked with a smile on his beard.
"There are no objections to the other Taoists, but I have two people here. Several examiners in the martial arts department expressed their opinions but had different opinions. In terms of grades, both of them should be lost, but some examiners think they are all geniuses and should be hired in an extraordinary way.
"Oh?" Suddenly, Li Xiu became interested, "What a strange method?"
Su Wan slowly came to Li Xiu and opened it with a test paper. "This person is named Mingyue, with bow, horse, riding, shooting, martial arts and fighting, and all scored in full marks, but he got the military strategy..."
"What? He is not familiar with literature?"
"If you don't understand the literature, you can just do it. His literary talent is quite outstanding. With this literary talent, it is more than enough to get into the liberal arts. However, he seems to have never read the strategy of military strategy, so there is no evidence to assess the strategy of military strategy."
"There is no evidence to be based on, but it's not nonsense?" Li Xiu asked curiously when he heard Su Wan's voice.
"This... I also didn't know much about military strategy, but some of the examiners in the Wushu Department were applauding the responses above, while others thought it was ridiculous to talk about war on paper. It was just before I came, Wushu was still quarreling while deducing."
"Oh? I'm so interested. Where is that person's test paper? Let me take a look!"
Su Wan immediately handed the test paper to Li Xiu. Li Xiu spread it out and started to read it very seriously. After a long time, Li Xiu did not look up. About half an hour later, Li Xiu raised his head silently, leaned his head up and leaned against the recliner and closed his eyes and began to think.
"A genius... I answered the document without a single sentence quoting the classics. For example, one starts, wins again, and tries to exert three times. I have never heard of any military strategy that has made such a statement. However, it is extremely in line with the battle. I have looked at the battle reports for decades and have also personally visited the front line to supervise the battle. What is said here is so true.
If it weren't for the veterans who have been through the battlefield for a long time, how could he have concluded from this? But... this Mingyue is really only nineteen years old?"
"But that's the case!"
"How can I be wrong with such a genius? I must be admitted. Although the answers here do not quote classics, what they say and write are all portrayals of the real battlefield. If you train them carefully, what he writes in the near future will be classics."
"yes!"
"What about the second one? What's the strange thing?"
"This person's name is Yu Tong. He is just the opposite. His military strategy and strategy are good, and his bow, horse, and his shooting is also quite good. However... when compared with the human ring, he was knocked out by a punch... From the top to the bottom, it took less than three breaths..."
"Puff-hahaha..." Li Xiu laughed immediately when he heard this. He laughed happily like an old naughty boy.
"This kid must have encountered a martial arts master in unlucky way?"
"Not that, his opponent was not outstanding in the subsequent competition..."
"Then how can Yu Tong pass the arch and horse? If he doesn't have combat power, he will definitely not be able to ride a fierce horse or drive a strong bow."
"This..." Su Wan was a little ashamed, "In order to save expenses, the academy allowed students to bring their own bows and arrows, as long as they had a strong bow of fifty stones. Yu Tong not only brought the bows and arrows, but also the saddle.
But his bow was very strange. He could not open it only if he had to force eighty stones, but he easily pulled it open. Moreover, his saddle was also very magical. No matter how bumpy the horse was, he could sit on it. Therefore... he took advantage of the opportunity..."
"Talent..." Li Xiu immediately applauded, "Isn't what Yu Tong did just like what Mingyue said in the test paper, knowing yourself and your enemy will never be defeated? He knew our exams well in advance, and then targeted them one by one, and passed the hurdles and killed the generals. Isn't this a strategy for military attack?"
"The mountain chief means..."
