Chapter 84 The first acquaintance of the imperial city
Zhou Tian went down the mountain that afternoon and came to the foot of the academy mountain. Looking at the stone tablet, he remembered the scene when he first came to the academy a month ago, and he couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
In less than a year, I had already broken through the Qi Sea and reached the realm of Qi King, which really made me a little excited, but then I thought of Xuantian Sect and Ye Youyou in Tianqian Town, and suddenly I felt sad again.
After passing the stone monument, he looked up and saw endless weeds and dense woods. He stopped and looked around for a long time, thought about the way he came, and then walked forward.
"Who dares to break into my academy!"
A person shouted sternly, and Zhou Tian slowly looked to the right, thinking to himself: I have already left the academy, why are there still people shouting here?
I saw a man wearing a green shading gown, holding a spear and pointing it directly at Zhou Tian's head.
"who?"
This man has an ordinary appearance, but his body looks very strong.
"Who are you?" Zhou Tian looked at this person in confusion. He was obviously a disciple of the academy, so who was this, actually blocking his way outside the academy.
"The third son of the academy, Shi Youjing! How dare you break into the academy without permission? Who gave you the courage!"
This man spoke in an unusually loud voice, and his voice was so loud that Zhou Tian's ears were trembling slightly from what he shouted.
"The third in the academy? Are you the third senior brother? This name is quite strange. I am the thirteenth in the academy! Zhou Tian!" After Zhou Tian reported his name, Shi Youjing quickly took back half an inch of the spear in his hand.
"You are the junior brother Zhou Tian who subdued the self-defense beast Lu Wu? I just arrived at the academy, where are you going?"
Shi Youjing's words suddenly became docile, and Zhou Tian rolled his eyes and muttered: "Oh, the seniors in this academy are really strange. They were so majestic just now, but when they met the fellow seniors, they suddenly lost their confidence. They are so amiable!"
Shi Youjing's ears are very sensitive, and he can hear even the smallest sound clearly: "This is not amiable. We are classmates, so why are we shouting at each other? Didn't we just know that you were thirteen?"
Zhou Tian didn't expect that he could actually hear such a small voice, so he quickly raised his hands and said with a smile: "Thirteen was a little presumptuous just now, please forgive me, Third Senior Brother."
"Third senior brother, did you come back specially to participate in the competition between sects?" Zhou Tian raised his eyebrows. He had been here for almost a month and a half, and he had only seen a few senior brothers and sisters. He wanted to ask why he met many times.
I didn't see other senior brothers, but I was interrupted by different things every time, and this time I suddenly met the third senior brother, which was really a bit of an accident and surprise.
"Oh, yes or no. You came back this time mainly because you just happened to complete the task assigned by Master, and you also happened to arrive at the competition between sects. So where are you going?"
After Zhou Tian observed Shi Youjing for a long time, he discovered that he was also a straightforward and rigid man.
"Master also asked me to complete some tasks. That matter should not be delayed. I will continue to move forward. Third Brother, we will say goodbye to you and we will talk to you another day!"
Zhou Tian clasped his hands in his fists and was about to leave when he was stopped again.
"Thirteen, are you going to go down the mountain by yourself? You have just come to the academy, how can Master be so relieved to let you do the task alone!"
Shi Youjing didn't understand, and at this moment another person ran down the mountain.
"Old Ba! You?"
It turned out that Su Xinghe was running down, his steps were light and his face was more calm. It seemed that he had thought about it. Just as Zhou Tian was thinking about it, Su Xinghe had already arrived beside him.
"Third Senior Brother! You are back!"
Su Xinghe looked surprised, as if Shi Youjing's return frightened him.
"Well, I haven't seen you for so many months, how is your cooking?" Shi Youjing commented on Su Xinghe's cooking skills when they met, which made Su Xinghe a little embarrassed.
"What are you talking about? I'm the boss of the academy. Why do you treat me like a real cook who cooks for the academy..."
Zhou Tian smiled at his reluctance to look at you. It seemed like he was feeling much better.
"Third Senior Brother, Thirteen and I are going out to do some errands. You can go up. Master will definitely be very happy to see you!"
After saying that, he and Zhou Tian continued walking forward, arm in arm.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, they came to a street and alley, where they saw that there were gradually more and more people.
Zhou Tian looked around, and the sellers and jugglers gradually appeared in front of his eyes: "Old Su, this is the imperial city!"
Su Xinghe glanced at the surroundings and nodded: "This should be the east side of the imperial city, and the main entrance is on the north side. You are most familiar with it."
After Zhou Tian heard this, he thought about it and his expression suddenly became much more serious: "Are you talking about Xiyun Palace? I hope that Xia Shuning's incident will not be mentioned again. The past has passed. It's me who can't help her. I hope she can
Don’t blame me!”
Zhou Tian muttered to himself silently, making Su Xinghe next to him sound very awkward.
"Why are you so sorry for her? She lied about being your unmarried wife without permission. She came to the academy just to secretly learn the academy's exercises. Master was very kind by not punishing her. Why can't you be sorry? Because of this
I almost blame you for this, and she should be the one who feels sorry for me!"
Su Xinghe pouted as if he was very concerned about this matter.
Zhou Tian waved his hand and shook his head helplessly: "It's better not to mention it again. You said this is the east. Even if we have arrived at the imperial city, how should we patrol? I don't know what Master wants us to do?"
Su Xinghe and Zhou Tian passed through an alley, so there were no guards to stop the questioning, which saved a lot of trouble.
"I don't know how to do it, but we must pay attention to the residents in these markets."
"The people in Haotian Pavilion, regardless of whether they are spies or sitters, are accustomed to hiding from the world, but the black gas emitted from their bodies cannot be concealed. As long as there is something wrong, just take it down!"
Su Xinghe suddenly spoke seriously, which made Zhou Tian somewhat uncomfortable.
"Lao Su, when did you become so serious and serious? It's rare to see you like this in the academy. Is it really because of your brother's affairs?"
Zhou Tian's pot didn't open, so Su Xinghe couldn't explain it for a while and glared at him.
"You are such a straight-tempered person. I really don't understand how you can break through the Qi Sea with your temperament, and how you can reach the Qi King realm all of a sudden. It doesn't match your brain at all! It's really..."
Su Xinghe looked at Zhou Tian with disgust and walked forward faster.
But along the way, nothing was wrong, which made Su Xinghe, who was impatient, a little anxious.
"Is Master's information correct? Why did I find nothing at all after walking for a long time? I have already walked from the east to the south. There is nothing abnormal."
Su Xinghe lazily walked forward with his body supported. He was very tired and wanted to find a place to rest, but Zhou Tian behind him was walking more and more vigorously. As a senior brother, how could he lag behind his junior brother.
"Thirteen, why are you so energetic?"
When Zhou Tian was about to answer, a faint black fog suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, so he hurriedly pointed forward and said: "Old Su, look!"
Su Xinghe followed the direction pointed by Zhou Tian, took a closer look, quickly stood up and said softly: "Thirteen, your eyes are quite thief, this black mist usually comes from Haotian, and the long black gas,
He is a spy from Haotian Pavilion. It seems that we had a fight just after we arrived in the Imperial City!"
Before Zhou Tian could react, he saw Su Xinghe running over.
And the person they wanted to deal with was obviously a woman, so Su Xinghe was able to take action?
Sure enough, when they arrived, Su Xinghe suddenly stopped his hand and almost slapped him down with his palm.
Su Xinghe suddenly turned around and gestured to Zhou Tian, muttering something unknown.
It turned out that this woman was shopping in front of a rouge and gouache shop, but the black mist emanating from her body was clearly from Haotian Pavilion, which made Su Xinghe start to feel embarrassed.
"Girl, is this box of rouge good for use?"
Suddenly Zhou Tian appeared on the woman's right side. He winked and asked Su Xinghe to lean back first.
After hearing this, the woman turned around and saw that the man in front of her was handsome and handsome, but at first glance she knew he was not from the imperial city: "Master, are you talking to me?"
Zhou Tian did not look at her carefully, but just said perfunctorily: "Well, my wife often patronizes this Rouge store. I was a little anxious when I came out this time. I just wanted to bring some more for her."
After hearing this, the woman looked much lowered and did not answer immediately.
Zhou Tian glanced at Su Xinghe beside the woman and winked.
"Girl, he is my family's long-term worker. Did the girl scare you just now?"
Su Xinghe said this, almost making Zhou Tian laugh, and he quickly took a step back and walked away.
The woman glanced casually and smiled slightly: "It's nothing, it's just the first time we met, it's nothing."
"Seller, help me wrap this box of rouge!"
The woman obviously wanted to leave as soon as possible, so Su Xinghe said quickly: "I paid for the box of rouge that the girl gave me. I thought it was to pay for the rouge for someone who just took a new job. Store! How much does it cost?"
The girl did not reject Su Xinghe's move, but smiled slightly.
"Whatever you want to do, just say it, no need to work so hard!"
The woman's voice suddenly became richer, which surprised Su Xinghe: "What do you mean, girl?"
"Who are you? Why did you suddenly appear in the imperial city? And why are you so enthusiastic about me all of a sudden?" The woman's words suddenly became much colder, which made Su Xinghe feel at a loss. He didn't know if this woman had seen through him.
identity of.
So I wanted to tell my name directly: "We are books..."
"We are just students in the study room..."
Zhou Tian suddenly jumped out and intercepted Su Xinghe's words.
"Study?"
The woman looked at Zhou Tian approaching curiously and blinked her eyes wide.
Only then did Zhou Tian clearly see that this woman's appearance was so similar to his Youyou.
"This? Are you?"
Zhou Tian was speechless for a moment, and the face in front of him was no different from Ye Youyou.
"What study? How can there be a study in this imperial city? Are you fooling me? I have been in the imperial city for so long, how come I haven't heard of any study?"
The woman kept chattering, but Zhou Tian still looked at her stupidly, motionless.
"Hey! Hey!"
When the woman saw him looking at her like this, she suddenly became shy and blushed: "You..."
Su Xinghe saw that something was wrong with Zhou Tian and quickly pushed him aside. Only then did Zhou Tian regain his composure.
"Thirteen, what's wrong with you?"
Su Xinghe looked at him worriedly.
"It's nothing. There is definitely something wrong with this woman. You must ask clearly..."
Before Su Xinghe could say anything, Zhou Tian walked sideways and said, "May I ask, girl, who is this person from the Imperial City?"
