Yuan Taiping opened the yellowed book in his hand with great interest, wondering what kind of martial arts secrets were so worthless that he just gave them away to everyone.
He opened the page of the book and glanced at it, his eyes suddenly widened.
There are illustrations.
But this illustration cannot be seen.
Um.
To be precise, you can't look at it where there are people, because it is actually an erotic picture.
How has the honest Yuan Taiping ever seen this thing before?
In an instant, his face turned red with embarrassment.
I quickly closed the page with a snap, my heart was beating wildly, and my nervous palms were sweating.
He slowly raised his head and glanced around secretly, like a thief, for fear that someone would discover his shameless behavior.
But what are you afraid of?
An old man in Confucian shirt with white beard and white hair walked out of the holy tower.
His face was majestic, his expression was stern, and in his sunken eye sockets, his two piercing eyes contained hidden anger.
Although his old body is a little rickety, he is full of awe-inspiring righteousness, which makes his rickety body look even taller than that of a young and strong man.
Thumb thump thump——
The old man's steps were heavy, and a pair of black cloth shoes with a thousand-layer sole made a clattering sound on the ground.
As soon as you heard it, you could tell that there was anger in his steps.
Yuan Taiping's eyelids jumped with fright because he saw this majestic old man walking straight towards him.
He quietly stuffed the yellowed book into his sleeves, then turned around slowly, trying to grease his soles and escape.
"Stop!" The old man obviously discovered Yuan Taiping's intention and immediately opened his mouth and shouted angrily.
Yuan Taiping trembled with fright.
I felt that this old man seemed to have the power of a saint, and he was so frightened by the scolding that he stopped in place and did not dare to move.
For the first time in his life, Yuan Taiping felt the domineering power of a scholar who was completely different from a warrior, but not inferior to a warrior at all.
The old man walked very quickly and was in front of Yuan Taiping in a blink of an eye. He pointed at Yuan Taiping's left cuff and yelled: "What's hidden in there? Take it out!"
At this moment, Yuan Taiping looked like a student who was caught by the teacher for doing something bad, shrinking like a quail.
He secretly swore in his heart that if he met the boy who gave him his martial arts skills again, he would definitely let him practice at the gate of Taiping Academy.
"Take it out!" Seeing that Yuan Taiping didn't move, the old man immediately shouted angrily.
Yuan Taiping shivered and took out the yellow book, no, the yellowed book, from his sleeve.
The old man grabbed it in his hand, glanced at it and threw the book on Yuan Taiping, cursing: "Shuzi, it's an insult to elegance! It's an insult to elegance!"
His eyes were as wide as bells, and his chest was heaving violently. He was really pissed off.
He wanted to scold Yuan Taiping, but thinking about the filthy things Yuan Taiping had seen, he was too embarrassed to speak.
"Old sir, please calm down and don't let your anger break your body."
Yuan Taiping felt the violent fluctuations of the old man's breath. He was afraid that his old body could not bear such a strong breath, and if he rolled his eyes and lost his breath, he would be guilty of a big sin, so he quickly comforted him.
The old man took a deep breath to calm down the anger in his heart, pointed to the yellowed book on the ground, and said: "Pick it up, then go home and call your father. It's the father's fault if he doesn't educate him. I should ask him carefully.
How do you teach children? And your teacher, please come over too."
He seemed confused and didn't notice that Yuan Taiping was not wearing Taiping College student clothes.
"Oh" Yuan Taiping responded, squatting down to pick up the book, feeling a little depressed. He was an orphan. He had no chance to go home and call his father.
He originally wanted to explain himself and clear up his grievances, but he was in a low mood and did not bother to explain.
"Let's go." The old man put his hands behind his back and walked forward. Looking at his posture, he seemed to be afraid that Yuan Taiping would disobey him and actually wanted to send Yuan Taiping out of the college himself.
Yuan Taiping followed him obediently.
"What's your name?" the old man asked as he walked.
"Zhang——Zhang Dayong." Yuan Taiping replied hesitantly. He was not very good at lying, but he seemed very guilty.
"What's it called?" The old man asked again with a deep tone.
"Niu Guangmao!" Yuan Taiping replied loudly.
"Hmph!" the old man snorted, and seemed to say: "Boy, there is no way to deceive me."
Little did he know that the second name was also fake.
Yunzhu courtyard.
Zhang Xiaozu arrived at the school early.
His face was a little pale, Ye Mingyue sucked more blood each time, and he was about to be unable to bear it any longer.
Ye Mingyue left early and came back late these two days. She didn't know what she was busy with. This morning, she sent Zhang Xiaopou to Yunzhu Courtyard and left in a hurry.
Zhang Xiaozu knew that she was using the last moment of her life to complete the unfinished business as much as possible.
Zhi——
A tiny wisp of smoke that was difficult to distinguish with the naked eye appeared on Zhang Xiaozu's hand, accompanied by the smell of burning blood.
He stared at his hand and shook his head in disappointment.
After failing again and again without any breakthrough, his mood gradually became irritable and his confidence was almost gone.
He thought of a way to save Ye Mingyue, but it was too difficult to operate. He kept experimenting, but always came close.
"Big event. Big event."
The fat little boy Tai Wenyan suddenly ran into the school with a loud voice and an excited look on his chubby face.
"What big event?" Su Jin followed him into the classroom and asked with a smile.
"There was a senior brother who made some mistake and was caught by Master Xun." Tai Wenyan said.
"Pitiful!"
"How miserable!"
There was an outpouring of sympathy in the school.
Zhang Xiaozu looked at the sympathetic expressions of the students and thought that Master Xun must be an extremely strict gentleman.
Reminiscing about the misery of being spanked by the village chief's grandfather for not being able to read well when I was a child, I immediately sympathized with this unlucky guy who made a mistake and was caught.
Tai Wenyan nodded and sighed: "Master Xun is leading him to the gate, obviously asking him to go home and call his father. Tsk, tsk, after this senior brother returns home tonight, he will definitely suffer a lot of physical pain.
It’s pitiful to think about it.”
"But -" Tai Wenyan frowned slightly and said, "This senior brother is wearing regular clothes. Judging from his age, he is a little older. He doesn't seem to be a student in the college."
"What's his name?" a little girl asked.
"I heard someone say his name is Niu Guangmao." Tai Wenyan said.
"Cough——" Zhang Xiaozu suddenly choked on his saliva.
"This senior brother seems to have a congenital physical defect and carries a big hunchback on his back. Do any of you know him?" Tai Wenyan asked.
"——" The corners of Zhang Xiaozu's mouth twitched twice.
When he first heard Niu Dawa's name, he really thought that Niu Dawa had also come to Taiping College. But when he heard the word "Luo Guo", he immediately knew that Yuan Taiping was using Niu Dawa's name fraudulently.
"I wonder what mistake the fourth child made?" Zhang Xiaozhu was infinitely curious. Thinking that Niu Dawa had carried a big pot for no reason, he couldn't help but find it funny and laughed out loud.
If he knew that the first name Yuan Taiping said was his, I wonder if he would be happy.
…
Yuan Taiping was "escorted" by Master Xun and left Taiping College.
The soldiers from the Wuwei battalion who had been ordered to guard the entrance of the college immediately surrounded him with knives.
"Come with us." The soldiers of the Wuwei camp said to Yuan Taiping with a dark face.
It is really hard for them to have a good look towards Yuan Taiping and these nine people.
In order to capture these nine people in the past few days, they were running around here and there, exhausted, and almost turned into dogs from exhaustion. They were also laughed at a lot by the people of the imperial capital.
So if Su Hui hadn't specifically told them to treat each other with courtesy after getting the nine people, they would never have been so polite to Yuan Taiping.
Yuan Taiping asked: "What day does it fall today?"
He lived in a daze in front of the Wensheng Tower, and he didn't know exactly how many days passed.
"The fifth day of the fifth lunar month." The soldiers of the Wuwei camp replied. Yuan Taiping couldn't help but be surprised, because he felt that only two or three days had passed, but he didn't expect that today was already the fifth day of the lunar month.
"Lead the way." Yuan Taiping nodded to the soldiers of the Wuwei camp and stopped resisting.
The nine of them were given the task of resisting arrest with all their strength for three days. Now that three days have passed, there is no need to continue escaping.
"Can I ride a horse?" A soldier asked Yuan Taiping as he led a fat black war horse over. He looked at the hunchback on Yuan Taiping's back, and a contemptuous smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"I know a little bit," Yuan Taiping replied.
He had been accustomed to others' ridicule since he was a child, so he didn't care about this person's intentional ridicule.
"That's good. Now, follow closely." The man threw the reins into Yuan Taiping's hands.
Yuan Taiping took the reins of the horse and immediately got on the horse.
drive!
The six cavalrymen rode away from the dust.
After a moment of burning incense, the cavalry stopped at the gate of Wuwei Camp.
The contempt in the eyes of these five soldiers when they looked at Yuan Taiping was gone.
Along the way, they tried their best to make Yuan Taiping look embarrassed, but they never achieved what they wanted because Yuan Taiping's riding skills were not inferior to them at all.
"Haha, I finally have a companion."
Yuan Taiping was led to a tent, and as soon as he entered, he heard Peng Fugui's laughter.
I saw two people already sitting in the tent, Peng Fugui and his brother Xu You.
Yuan Taiping cupped his hands towards the two of them and asked with a smile: "How did you two get caught?"
"It doesn't matter if you don't mention it. It doesn't matter if you don't mention it." Xu You shook his head repeatedly, with an embarrassed and depressed look on his face.
How dare he tell Yuan Taiping that he and Peng Fugui spent all their money in a brothel, were drugged by the madam in the wine, and then sold it to Wuweiying like pork.
"What about you?" Xu You asked back.
Yuan Taiping touched the tip of his nose, his cheeks felt slightly hot, and he shook his head quickly and said, "It's okay not to mention it. It's okay not to mention it."
The book was still in his arms, and he didn't know whether to keep it or not.

At night, lightning strikes one after another.
The arrogant silver arcs intertwined into a silver grid in the dark cloudy night sky.
It's like a great demon is going through the Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation.
Su Hanlin stood in front of the imperial study room, standing with his hands behind his hands, looking up at the night sky. His deep gaze seemed to have penetrated the darkness, penetrated the thick dark clouds, and saw the bright starry sky that was blocked.
He didn't know what he saw, but he looked up at it for a full hour before looking back.
He slowly twisted his stiff neck and asked, "How many thieves did the prince catch?"
"Your Majesty, Your Highness the Crown Prince has captured five thieves." The young eunuch serving at the side reported hurriedly.
"Five?" Su Hanlin's eyes turned cold and he said in a deep voice: "We have already caught five, why haven't you come back yet? Do you want all his brothers and sisters to starve to death in Dongqing Palace?"
"Your Majesty, calm down." The little eunuch was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly put in a good word for Su Hui: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has always been kind-hearted and kind-hearted, and he takes great care of your Highnesses on weekdays. Knowing that Your Highnesses are suffering in Dongqing Palace, I will definitely
It’s heart-wrenching—"
"Talk too much!" Su Hanlin suddenly opened his eyes and shouted angrily.
"Ah! You deserve to die!" The little eunuch was so frightened that he fell to his knees, raised his hands and slapped himself in the face. As he slapped himself, he cursed: "I'll break your mouth for making you talk too much! I deserve to be beaten! I deserve to be beaten."
!”
"Get out!" Su Hanlin said impatiently.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. I'm going to get out of here. I'm going to get out of here." The little eunuch ran away crawling on the ground as if he had received an amnesty.
Su Hanlin looked at the back of the little eunuch disappearing into the darkness, suddenly raised the corner of his mouth and smiled, murmuring to himself: "Hui'er, Hui'er, if you are ruthless, you must be ruthless to the end. If you are not ruthless, you will not be hard-hearted, and your heart will not be cruel."
Poison, you can't sit on this imperial throne. Even if you sit on it, you can't keep it. You won't starve to death in ten days. I hope your heart will be ruthless to the end."
