Everything within a hundred miles of the capital city belongs to the Gyeonggi region, and there are many villages, all of which are under the jurisdiction of Kyoto Prefecture.
Although he does not live in the capital, people around him regard him as a native of the capital.
Less than fifty miles north of the capital is Guojia Village.
There are dozens of households in Guojia Village. The trees and grass in front of and behind the village are beginning to turn green. Under the setting sun, the greenery is abundant. In a private school at the entrance of the village, more than a dozen children are studying.
More than ten years ago, Mr. Guo passed through Guojia Village. He seemed quite down-and-out at the time. After talking to the villagers, they found out that he was a down-and-out scholar who was wandering around alone. The villagers persuaded him to stay. Mr. Guo was actually honest.
After some persuasion, he stayed in the village to teach. The villagers not only provided food and clothing, but also the whole village built a private school with a yard for Master Guo at the entrance of the village.
From then on, Master Guo made Guojia Village his home, and people from surrounding villages also sent their children here to study.
As the sun set, Master Guo put down the book in his hand and said to the students: "That's it for today's lectures, let's break up!"
The children were very well-behaved and all saluted Master Guo before leaving school.
Master Guo put away the books and then raised his head and glanced out the window. Half an hour ago, there was a young man standing there like a tree stump outside the window, as if he was eavesdropping on the lecture. After all the schoolchildren left,
The master looked at it carefully and asked: "Who are you looking for?"
The young man then walked around the gate and came in. He walked directly in front of Master Guo, cupped his hands, took a letter and handed it over, saying respectfully: "Junior Qin Xiao!"
Master Guo took the letter, opened it and read it, and then said: "Come with me!" He led Qin Xiao to the backyard. He heard the sound of "coo". Qin Xiao only saw a lot of pigeons raised in the corner of the yard. Master Guo
He led Qin Xiao into a simple cabin and ordered: "Wait here, don't leave."
Qin Xiao raised his hand and said yes, and Master Guo didn't waste any time and left.
Qin Xiao secretly left the Northeast and entered the customs alone, without even an entourage. After entering the customs, he did not stop all the way, traveled day and night, and rushed to Kyoto.
He knew very well that since the Su family had been confiscated and all the family members were arrested, life and death were in Lu Junzhong's hands, and Lu Junzhong could send the Su family to the execution ground at any time.
Saving people is like putting out fire.
Gu Baiyi had told him to send the letter to Master Guo after seeing him, and Master Guo would arrange the next steps.
Although there are countless people coming in and out of the capital every day, it is not difficult to sneak in, but Qin Xiao is not an ordinary person. He once became famous in the capital. When the people of Bohai put down the ring, he took the stage to fight and got to know himself.
It can be said that there are quite a few people.
If you are unlucky and get recognized when you go into town, things will be in trouble.
Since Gu Baiyi asked him to meet Master Guo first, he naturally had full confidence in Master Guo's abilities.
Qin Xiao knew that Master Guo must have something to do with the academy. If he could get help from the academy, his trip would be more effective with half the effort.
He waited in the cabin until dark, but Master Guo never showed up. Fortunately, he was very patient and took care of himself when he came, and was not in a hurry.
After a while, I saw Master Guo coming over, but he brought dinner. It was very simple. After putting it down, he said softly: "After eating, have a good sleep." Without talking nonsense, he turned around and went out. Qin Xiao raised his hand and thought.
He wanted to call to stop, but Master Guo disappeared in the blink of an eye.
After dinner, he was tired from traveling day and night, so he fell asleep.
When I woke up the next day, I was awakened by the sound of reading aloud.
Qin Xiao looked towards the study hall from the window and saw Master Guo teaching.
He couldn't help but frown.
He wanted to go to Beijing urgently. If Mr. Guo had a way, he should actively assist him. However, this old man seemed to have forgotten about going to Beijing and still did things at his own pace. Although Qin Xiao was anxious, he couldn't say anything, so he could only
I stayed in the house by myself and had nothing to do but practice.
He has now entered the sixth level realm, has strong internal strength, and his qi training method is still the "Ancient Yi Qi Jue".
Entering the sixth level realm is just one step away from the Great Heaven Realm.
However, Qin Xiao knew very well that there was no need to think about the Great Heaven Realm now, because it seemed that it was only one step away, but in fact it was very far away.
The young aunt has been stuck in the sixth-grade realm for many years and has never been able to break through and enter the Great Heaven Realm, which proves that entering the Great Heaven Realm is not an easy matter.
The most important thing is that the young aunt relied on her accumulated cultivation to reach the sixth level, and it was a complete accident that she entered the sixth level.
From a certain point of view, it was Su Baoping who used his own inner strength to pull himself to the sixth level. Although Su Baoping transferred the inner strength into his own body through the method of passing on the strength, so that he could have deep internal strength, it was also true that
Because of this, my foundation is not solid, but I need to practice hard.
After school ended at noon, Master Guo brought lunch. After putting it down, Qin Xiao asked hurriedly: "Master, should we discuss going to Beijing?"
"The person to pick you up will be here soon." Guo Fuzi said calmly: "Stay here and don't move around."
Qin Xiao was startled and asked, "Who will pick me up?"
Master Guo didn't say much and went out.
Qin Xiao was a little confused, but since the other party didn't want to say more, it was hard to ask more questions.
After dinner, Qin Xiao saw that there was silence in the private school. He stayed in the wooden house for a long time and couldn't help but walk out of the house. He heard the pigeons in the corner of the house making a "coo" sound. When he got closer, he suddenly discovered that the pigeons were coming every day.
The feet are tied with strings.
Qin Xiao suddenly thought that these pigeons were definitely not ordinary meat pigeons, but probably homing pigeons.
Gu Baiyi was in the Northeast, but the fastest way to contact the King of Taihu was, of course, to send messages via flying pigeons.
However, flying pigeons to deliver messages is not an easy task.
Raising homing pigeons is inherently complicated, and homing pigeons can only travel one way, relying on their special ability to return home. No matter how far away they are from their home nest, homing pigeons can rely on their special talents to find their way home.
If Gu Baiyi can communicate with the King of Taihu, both parties will definitely give each other a batch of carrier pigeons in advance. When communication is needed, they can pick up the pigeons and pass the message, so that the carrier pigeons can return home with the secret message.
It is not strange for Taihu to breed a large number of homing pigeons. However, not long after Gu Baiyi came out of the customs, he cultivated a group of homing pigeons outside the customs. This was definitely not done by Gu Baiyi in advance, but someone had been preparing for it for a long time. In other words, the academy has always been
Carrier pigeons carry messages back and forth.
Master Guo must have a connection with the academy, so these pigeons are probably carrier pigeons trained for the academy. The private school in Guojiacun is actually an information transmission station for the academy.
Qin Xiao was surprised, thinking that Mr. Da had many pawnshops under his command and had excellent intelligence capabilities. He did not expect that the academy would not lose to Mr. Da in terms of information transmission.
"What are you doing?"
Suddenly I heard Master Guo's voice behind me.
Qin Xiao immediately turned around, and Master Guo appeared behind him like a ghost.
Qin Xiao was shocked. Although his attention was attracted by the carrier pigeon, it was unbelievable that an old gentleman from a private school appeared quietly behind him and he was not aware of it.
He felt slightly shuddered, and he actually understood in his heart that the opponent's skills were definitely not weak, at least he was at the Zhongtian realm.
"Sir, do you like raising pigeons?" Qin Xiao could only ask awkwardly.
Master Guo stared at Qin Xiao for a moment, then said: "I started raising pigeons more than ten years ago as a pastime."
Qin Xiao thought that it was a lie to have fun, but it was true to pass on information. However, this old man had stayed in the village for more than ten years just to guard the intelligence station. It was really not easy.
"Sir, do you know Mr. Wei?" Qin Xiao saw that the other party's expression was calm, and he seemed to be casual but actually asked thoughtfully.
Master Guo frowned slightly and asked, "Mr. Gu asked you to ask?"
Qin Xiao was startled, then a little embarrassed. Just as he was about to say something, his body suddenly stiffened, but Master Guo had already said: "If everything goes well, the person who picks you up should arrive tonight, and he will take you to Beijing.
"
"Sir, do you know what's going on in Kyoto right now?"
"I have been staying in the village." Master Guo said, "After you enter the capital, everything will become clear." Without talking nonsense, he turned around and left.
Qin Xiao looked at Master Guo's back and frowned.
Just now he accidentally discovered that Master Guo did not have an Adam's apple.
Mr. Guo has a slim figure. Logically speaking, his Adam's apple should be very conspicuous, but Qin Xiao just casually scanned it and found that Mr. Guo's throat was extremely flat.
Qin Xiao actually didn't care about this before. Before leaving Xiling, he never paid attention to the condition of a person's Adam's apple. However, after entering the capital, he often dealt with the eunuchs in the palace and naturally found that none of the eunuchs had Adam's apple.
It became a symbol of eunuchs.
However, Qin Xiao also knows that the eunuch's Adam's apple is indeed not obvious, but he cannot conclude that the other person is an eunuch just because his Adam's apple is not obvious. Because of different body types, some men have extremely flat Adam's apples and are difficult to see.
Is Master Guo a eunuch?
But he has a beard, it's probably just his Adam's apple that doesn't show.
But beards can also be faked.
If Master Guo is really a real eunuch with a fake beard, then things will become interesting.
After dark, Qin Xiao had dinner. Master Guo had said before that if everything went well, the person to take care of him would arrive tonight. Qin Xiao was quite curious, wondering who was coming to take care of him.
In the dead of night, with the lights flickering, Qin Xiao finally heard subtle footsteps coming from outside, and then heard a gentle knock on the door. Qin Xiao immediately got up, stepped forward to open the door, and saw a figure standing outside. He looked carefully and was surprised.
Said: "Sister Hongye!"
The person who appeared outside the door turned out to be Hong Ye, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.
