He Qizhou actually wanted to know everything about Yang Zheng, but seeing that Liu Yan was not very young, he probably didn't know much about the inside story. The top priority was to pass the martial arts exam first and find a way to enter the military training hall. When he saw Liu Yan saying goodbye, he stood up and bowed to him.
As a gift, I forgot to pretend to be drunk for a moment.
After dinner, in the company of Liu Junzhi's brother and sister, they sat and drank tea in the small garden of the house. He Qizhou mentioned that the beautiful mountains and rivers of Jiangling Prefecture and the rice fields in the water town were much more beautiful than those in Luoyang, which attracted Liu Yingzhi's fascination.
He Qizhou also got to know the Liu family better. Liu Yan was the number one scholar appointed by Jiang Cong. He was highly appreciated by the emperor, the prince and the former chief minister. He rose through the ranks in the past twenty years. Surrounded by the three families, he still reached the position of second minister.
He holds a high position, and he is only forty-five years old this year. The throne of civil servant leader is just around the corner.
Because he is also the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, some people who are looking for a career will often stay here, either recommending themselves with poems or writing, or offering generous bribes. The former may still have some opportunities, but the latter will always fail, but as long as Liu Yan
No, this door will not be opened to these people even once. Mrs. Liu is a person who likes to be quiet, otherwise she would not easily give up fighting for a place in the Imperial City Liu's Mansion.
After staying in the Liu Mansion for about two hours, He Qizhou stood up to leave. Mrs. Liu sent him off in person and ordered someone to bring a food basket that was more than ten times larger than the wooden box Qi Zhou sent. It was said that it contained some cakes and preserved fruits.
Qizhou took it back and shared it with his friends. He Qizhou was not polite and accepted it generously. When he went back and opened it, he found that there was a small box in the food box, and there were five silver notes with a face value of one hundred taels in it. He was embarrassed now.
The next day, Liu Junzhi took him back alive.
However, Liu Junzhi's physical training was even more stringent. He was asked to bear ten kilograms of weight when chopping firewood. Liu Yingzhi also came once with his brother and said that he also wanted to ask for martial arts lessons. He Qizhou took him seriously at first.
I just didn’t expect that the other party had no foundation and poor understanding. Even if I taught him, I didn’t teach him anything. But the little girl knew the rules. Finally, she handed the package she brought to Qi Zhou, saying it was academic qualifications, and she blushed without waiting for Qi Zhou to open it.
The face ran away.
He Qizhou opened the package and saw two sets of brand-new cotton robes, one gray and one white. The fabric was thick and the size was right. He Qizhou told Liu Junzhi that his sister should stop getting involved in martial arts. She was born to be a prostitute and a tailor.
Unexpectedly, Liu Junzhi laughed loudly after hearing this, and said with a hint of ridicule: "She is lazier than me, how can she be a popular girl? It was the day I found out that you were an inch taller than me and a lot bigger, so I took my
The clothes are made by the old woman who knows how to tailor. But I think she treats you much better than she treats me, my biological brother."
He Qizhou secretly sighed at his unparalleled charm and stopped thinking about it. In addition to listening to Professor Tan's bragging lessons every day, most of the rest of the time was spent breathing in and out of the Chongmai and practicing the techniques that can be used to open the Yimai.
Martial arts. In a few days, there will be a big exam for the school to select martial arts candidates. He Qizhou has already obtained the quota and is not too concerned about it. The strange thing is that the wardens Wan Zhiyuan and Wang Jun are not in the school recently. It is said that the entire Ministry of Punishment is doing something.
It's a big case, so I don't have much energy to put into the college. Now Duan Xianjue has the final say on most things in the college.
Lin Chuan went to Duan's house once and brought a lot of good wine and silk. Mrs. Duan was very happy and revealed to Lin Chuan that the Superintendent of Wanyuan would like to promote his family's old Duan, as long as one of the students Duan Xianjue recruited this time entered the military academy.
If they are in the Military Academy, they will ask for instructions from the Armed Forces Academy to promote Duan Xianjue to the position of Deputy Superintendent. Generally, this kind of request is just a formality. The appointment of the main officials in the Academy is still the ministry's final decision. In other words, as long as one of Lin Chuan and the four of them enters the Armed Academy.
Duan Xianjue could be promoted in the library, so Mrs. Duan liked Lin Chuan very much. If her two daughters hadn't been married long ago, she would have wanted to recruit him as their wife.
In early December, after fierce competition, Jiang Damin, Huang Zhendong and Liu Junzhi won the last three martial arts examination places in Tianxing Yuan respectively! Liu Junzhi himself could not have imagined that his combat power had improved more than a little bit after not practicing for more than a month, which also meant that He Qizhou also He became more trusting. Liu Yingzhi expressed his gratitude and personally sent two pairs of boots. They were a little bigger, but much more comfortable than the old pair.
On the afternoon of the seventh day of December, firewood worker Liu Junzhi was about to finish his day's work. He Qizhou, who had just practiced a few Tianshan sword skills, was lying on a bamboo chair and thinking hard: What delicious food should I go to the city to eat in the evening?
A series of clanging gongs made both of them stop at the same time. This was the gong calling for an emergency assembly in the college. After the gong sounded, everyone was required to gather in the main campus. No one knew what a big event had happened.
When they arrived at the campus, there was already a large crowd of people. Wang Jun, who had not seen him for many days, also appeared on the command platform. Seeing that everyone was almost there, he spoke loudly and loudly, his sharp voice clearly heard. In every corner of the venue: "Dear teachers and students, in the past three days, there have been three robberies on the official road outside the capital city. Forty-three people were killed, and no one survived. The emperor was furious and ordered our punishment department to solve the case within ten days. Just now. Another case occurred sixteen miles away from the south gate of Waiwai. This time, two suspects appeared. Jinyiwei, the Military Police Department and the Criminal Department were sending personnel to pursue them. In order to prevent the suspects from escaping, Master Shangshu asked the teachers and students of our school to work together to pursue the murderer. This is also a good opportunity to serve the imperial court and gain fame. I hope the teachers and students will move forward bravely and fulfill their mission!"
There was a lot of discussion in the audience. Dare to commit such a crime at the feet of the emperor, but this has never happened in decades. Wang Jun cleared his throat and said again: "Quiet, quiet! It is said that the fugitive suspect has strong martial arts, is good at light kung fu, and can disguise himself. He has already been guarded by Jin Yi. If the agent is killed, he is likely to be wearing a royal guard uniform. Therefore, only teachers and students with four channels and above are recruited this time. Those who meet the requirements are asked to approach the stage. The rest can disperse on their own. However, if a suspicious person is found outside, Be sure to report it promptly.”
A total of more than a hundred people approached the command post, fifteen of them were professors. He Qizhou and Liu Junzhi were reluctant to leave and watched from a short distance away, mainly to reassure themselves that Lin Chuan, Yang Shan and Zhang Qingrou were not on campus, and Li Ruogu would have returned early. His palace.
Two criminal arrests came up behind Wang Jun. One of them said to the teachers and students in the audience: "You don't have to worry about it. Our main task is not to hunt, but to guard the outer wall and try to prevent the thieves from sneaking into the city. Our Punishment Department is responsible for this section of the Western Wall, which is sixteen miles long. We asked twelve professors to be responsible for each of them for a little more than a mile, with an average of ten students standing. Even if they are masters of the Eight Meridians, they will not be able to escape our eyes. Please immediately Go to the arsenal, choose your weapons, put on your armor, and set off immediately."
"Approximately how long will we have to guard? The exterior is so low, what if we can't stop the man from climbing in?" A professor walked towards the arsenal next to the command platform and asked the criminal department on the platform to arrest the head.
"It will be over before dark. The Jin Yiwei, the Wuchang Division and our Criminal Department have sent a large number of experts to seal off the perimeter and search from the outside in. Once they find the outer city wall, you can come back. Note, if you find a suspect, do not fight alone. If you fight alone, you are far from your opponent, just shout loudly, as long as you don't let him run away."
He Qizhou felt itchy in his heart and said to Liu Junzhi: "Shall we go and have a look too?"
"Okay!" Liu Junzhi was also a little eager to try.
"You go and get some armor first. By the way, help me get one too." He Qizhou was still a little worried about Liu Junzhi's small body.
The two of them followed the large army to the west gate of Kuo City at a short distance. On the way, they saw the teachers and students of the Military Inspection Academy going to the south gate. They should be responsible for guarding the south wall of the outer wall, but He Qizhou vaguely felt that if that
The suspect really wanted to escape, so going west was his only choice, because there was a flat river to the south and east, and sixteen miles outside the southern suburbs of the city were several hillsides extending from the hills to the west, and the official road just passed by the slopes, so he wanted to rob.
, only there is a little more hidden, and to the west is a large area of low hills and forests, which extends to the west wall of Tianxingyuan.
Two miles past the west wall of the college is a single wall with an outer outline of two feet high. Outside the wall, there is a soldier standing every hundred steps or so. Judging from his clothes, he is a defender of the Wucheng Soldiers and Horses Division. The leader of the team is Baihu Jiantianxingyuan.
When everyone arrived, they were immediately relieved. As for his group of veteran soldiers, there was no way they could stop the masters. They were urgently transferred from various gates in the outer city and could only act as eyes. Now the people from the Tianxingyuan came to take over.
I no longer worry about neglecting my duty because I can't stop people, so I might as well go back to the high walls of the outer city to watch the show.
Tianxingyuan was led by Duan Xianjue, who arranged the distribution of personnel outside the wall. They were all arranged according to class number. Lin Chuan was one of the few Grade A students, and was ranked at the southernmost position of the west wall, very far away from Tianxingyuan.
It was close, just two or three miles to the south, while Jiang Shuo walked northward, cursing all the way. He almost had to run for more than ten miles to get to the northernmost point to take over, because there were forest trails outside the wall, so he could only walk on horseback.
Already.
Relatively speaking, the further north you go, the stronger the students are, so Duan Xianjue himself is located three or four miles away from the south end. The dense forests and steep slopes here are also the most likely hiding place for gangsters. He has long discovered that He Qizhou and the two
Come on, although they are all less than Four Meridians, they have all obtained the status of a general. In terms of combat power, there are not many opponents in this long row. If they can help Lin Chuan, there will be no accidents, so
He just turned a blind eye and didn't chase them away.
He Qizhou and Liu Junzhi stood next to Lin Chuan for about half an hour, but there was no movement. The sky was gradually getting darker, and the densely branched woods ahead were so dark that it was difficult to see how far away. The occasional scream of a jackdaw broke the silence.
, so scared that some timid students screamed.
When it was almost time to arrive, He Qizhou and Lin Junzhi volunteered to go to Duan Xianjue's place to ask how long they would be staying there. They only had to walk three miles north to get there. Every fifty steps or so along the way, there was an academy master standing boredly.
After walking for more than a mile, they reached the corner of the wall. When the terrain got higher, another crow sounded, which startled the two of them. Looking along the sound, He Qizhou seemed to notice that there were branches trembling in the forest a hundred steps away to the west. Unconsciously, he felt in his heart
Once warm, he asked Liu Junzhi: "Do you dare to go over and have a look?"
