Volume 1: The Newlyweds Chapter 38: Plans Can't Keep Up with Changes
Xue Junyou paid the fee for the damaged wooden bow, but did not get a new good bow. The fundamental reason was because this is a college for teaching and educating people. When he heard this reason, he couldn't help but think of the days when he went to school in his previous life.
It is also said from outside that students should develop their moral, intellectual and physical abilities in an all-round way.
But in fact, he was just attending cultural classes one after another. Even if he saw the physical education teacher in the morning, he would immediately be sick and unable to attend class in the afternoon.
He often wondered, how did a physical education teacher become a physical education teacher? Until he went to the toilet to ask for leave, and when he saw the physical education teacher and the music teacher drinking tea and chatting in the lounge, he realized that he was wrong.
After Xue Junyou came back, he naturally had nothing to do. He stood aside and watched the princes holding childish wooden bows and practicing archery eight or nine steps away from the target. The key was that they still missed the target.
Even if they missed the target, they couldn't even shoot in the critical eight or nine steps. No wonder the instructor, Mr. Shi Quan, was so angry that he slapped them on the waist again and again with a ruler.
He deserved it so much and deserved to be beaten.
If he were in a Taoist temple, if he couldn't shoot the fruit from the tree within a hundred steps, he would be hung on the tree and whipped by his Taoist teacher.
However, strict masters produce great disciples, and it took him ten years to pass on the skills that his master had before he became a Taoist.
Maybe he was tired from beating, so Shi Quan walked up to Xue Junyou, slapped his lower back, sat down on the ground, and ate the candied fruit from a paper bag in his arms.
Xue Junyou was impressed and thought that this man who had served in the army actually liked this sweet and sour food. He originally thought that only Anyang and Yun Ni liked to eat this food.
While he was staring, he suddenly saw the teacher turning his head, and their eyes met.
After an awkward silence for a while, he raised the candied fruit in his hand and asked, "Would you like to eat it?"
Xue Junyou was stunned, and the princes-in-law who were beaten and grinning were even more stunned.
"Don't eat."
Xue Jun declined with a sad smile. He thought for a moment that the teaching seemed pretty good, so he replied: "Thank you, sir."
Shi Quan didn't answer any more, just turned his head and started eating by himself. While eating, he didn't forget to supervise the practicing consorts a few times and yelled at them strictly at the top of his voice.
Xue Junyou was amused, but even a fool could see that he was being cared for, so he stood behind Shi Quan and asked quietly: "Why do you care for me so much, sir?"
Shi Quan raised his head, chewed the candied fruit in his mouth and said, "Because I can't beat you, so that if you don't get what you want, you won't suffer the consequences again. I get the monthly salary every month, so there is no need to ask for trouble."
Xue Junyou didn't believe it, let alone that such words came from a person who had served in the army, and then he responded: "Then sir, just leave it alone, why are you still giving me food? Could it be to please me?"
"It's also possible."
Shi Quan turned around, looked at the man in front of him, who was neither tall nor strong, and said, "Maybe one day I will ask you to help me fight. You are so good at fighting."
"Stop joking."
Xue Junyou directly exposed him, looked at his calloused hands and said: "I see that your hands are not an ordinary soldier. Before you were injured, you were a centurion and a thousand captains."
.”
Shi Quan shook his head and said with a smile: "It's really not true, I'm a soldier."
"You are a soldier?!" Xue Junyou couldn't believe it.
Martial soldiers are a special type of soldiers in the Entropy Kingdom. They are similar to special forces and are relatively rare. I heard that soldiers who are heavily armed and armored and can travel hundreds of miles in half a day are called martial soldiers.
Soldiers like this are given the title of Baron of the Entropy Kingdom. They have land and money. Even if they are injured, they can receive a large settlement payment, so they don't have to worry about it for the rest of their lives.
But this gentleman is obviously still worried about the rest of his life, otherwise he wouldn't be able to look at a bunch of losers all day long and receive the college's monthly payment.
"Are you short of money?" Xue Junyou asked directly.
Shi Quan shook his head, and after a long time, he uttered two words, "I'm free."
"Then you are really free. You are almost full."
"Hey!"
"Slip of the tongue." Xue Junyou saw him downcast, and then realized that he really didn't know how to respect teachers, so he apologized quickly, but he was still unconvinced and said: "You don't want to say it if you don't want to, and there's no need to say it at all.
Bullying me as a fool, who would believe this? Can you believe it yourself? Even injured soldiers are often paid heavily by military attachés, right? Why come to any academy?"
"Because it's peaceful and quiet here," Shi Quan replied.
This time Xue Junyou believed it, but for some reason, he still felt that the other party had something he didn't want to say.
But since the other party didn't want to say anything, he wouldn't ask any more questions. He had many shortcomings, except that he wasn't too curious.
... ... ...
The next day was the Junde lecture in the college. According to the agreement with Uncle Shi, Xue Junyou did not need to go to the school to attend the lecture, but went directly to Nuange where the sand table was located that day.
"What? That teacher is actually the former personal bodyguard of Imperial Concubine Gongsun?"
Xue Junyou stood beside the sand table in shock and looked straight at Sikong Qiye.
"Yes."
Sikong Qiye nodded and said to him: "The imperial concubine was seriously ill at that time. Shi Quan felt that it was due to his own incompetence, so he came to the academy in despair."
"Why is sir so discouraged?" Xue Junyou asked.
Sikong Qiye sighed softly and explained to him: "Before the imperial concubine fell ill, she was actually assassinated once, and Shi Quan also suffered internal injuries on that day. Fortunately, the imperial concubine was once a member of the world, and she was eventually killed.
The assassin was killed. However, from that day on, the imperial concubine's health became increasingly worse, until she became bedridden."
"So actually starting from that day, Princess Gongsun was poisoned."
Xue Junyou frowned tightly, wondering who could be so vicious that he would use such poison to deal with a woman.
Thinking of Anyang losing his mother at such a young age, Xue Jun felt a sense of sorrow in his heart. If the illness of the imperial concubine really came from poisoning, since he was married to Anyang, he would kill the person who harmed the imperial concubine no matter what.
Find it out.
Thinking in his mind, Xue Junyou suddenly remembered that Concubine Gongsun left a jade pendant, so he asked Uncle Sikong: "By the way, has Uncle Shi ever heard about what Concubine Gongsun left for the princess?"
"No."
Sikong Qiye shook his head, "Why do you ask that?"
Xue Junyou took out the jade pendant that he had asked for from Anyang before and showed it to Sikong Qiye: "This is from the princess. It was left to her by the noble concubine Gongsun... It is the Feijue thing.
So I think it was Concubine Gongsun who left something to the princess."
"Fei Jue?"
Sikong Qiye frowned when he heard the word Fei Jue. As the third prince of the imperial court and a close confidant of His Majesty, he naturally knew what Fei Jue did, but he had never heard of the Imperial Concubine.
Did you leave anything for Princess Anyang in Fei Jue?
"Have you confirmed this?" Sikong Qiye put the jade pendant in his hand. He looked at it carefully and couldn't see any difference between this jade pendant and ordinary jade pendants. "Concubine Gongsun Huang indeed loves Princess Anyang very much."
, but if there is anything, she can just leave it to her, so why should she store it in Feijue?"
Xue Junyou used to think so too, but recently when he heard that Concubine Gongsun was not necessarily infected with a disease but a poison, he felt that what Concubine Gongsun left to the princess must be something very important.
And this thing must not be known to others.
"In this case, you should take this thing to Feijue and ask." Sikong Qiye still didn't see any clue, so he returned the jade pendant in his hand to Xue Junyou.
"I've already been there, but the people there said they still lack tokens."
Xue Junyou took the jade pendant back, put it away properly, and said: "It seems to be called a yin and yang token, but as far as I know, the only thing left by the imperial concubine Gongsun to the princess is this jade pendant. As for the other tokens, I also
Don’t know what it is.”
"As for the Yin-Yang token..." Sikong Qiye lowered his head and thought for a moment.
After a while, as if he suddenly remembered something, he turned his gaze on Xue Junyou again and reminded: "By the way, I have heard something about the Fei Jue. It does require Yin and Yang tokens, which are different from the secret key.
Two pieces. The key should be your jade pendant. As for the yin-yang token, I heard that this thing corresponds to yin and yang. After you return to the princess mansion, you can try to find out if there is anything that corresponds to yin and yang."
"yin and yang?"
Xue Junyou raised his head and thought for a long time, but still could not recall anything related to yin and yang. Moreover, they had been married for more than ten days, but he had mostly lived in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment... and he was not completely familiar with it yet.
The princess mansion with more than 300 acres.
"If you can't think of it, stop thinking about it. If you keep thinking about it, you will easily overlook a lot of things."
Seeing that Xue Jun was hesitant in his thoughts, Sikong Qiye showed a smile on his face and said: "It's time to eat today, so just like that day, come and have a meal with me first."
Xue Junyou nodded. Uncle Sikong Shi was right. The world has always been wonderful. The more you think about something, the more you can't think of it. And if you stop thinking about it for a while, you will remember it in that sudden moment.
Things in the world are impermanent, and the big intestine wraps up the small intestine.
With this in mind, Xue Junyou followed Uncle Sikong out of the Nuan Pavilion and took a seat. This time, Xue Junyou had made preparations in advance. Not only did he not eat anything that day, he didn't even eat last night, just to stay.
At this point, let's fight a quick battle.
"Uncle Shi, to be honest with you, I came prepared this time. Not to mention half an hour, I can finish eating with you." Xue Junyou said complacently in his position.
Sikong Qiye just said softly, and then the corners of his mouth curved, "Really? Then I have to test it carefully."
After saying that, he shouted outside, and Xue Junyou took off his coat. Although it was not too elegant to eat, he could still remain a gentleman.
However, when he just took off his coat and looked up at the food bowl being brought up, he was completely stunned.
