Chapter 173 That day finally came

Another cold winter has arrived. Snowflakes are falling overnight, and the sky and earth are all white.

The roads are blocked by heavy snow, and it is difficult to travel in the south, not to mention the north. The border war in Niujiao Town was reported to have stopped a few days before the heavy snow fell, and it is currently in a dormant stage.

There are rumors circulating among the people, saying that during the previous war, some scholars who made trouble were unlucky, and the dynasty had free hands to rectify them during the dormant period of the war.

Although I don’t blame everyone, there are still some people who danced happily and paid the price!

Some people were 'sent' to the front lines of the border war, some had their academic status stripped away and became civilians, and even worse, some had their heads chopped off...

Among these scholars, there are many who hold important positions. They follow the law ruthlessly and act according to the rules!

After all, it’s all about fun and fun, as long as it’s not too much, then it’s fine if the superiors turn a blind eye and don’t care about you at the beginning, then stop when you feel like it, if you’re still going strong, they won’t take care of you and let you go

Keep dancing happily?

The dynasty's drastic reforms, coupled with the fact that the war has been going on for more than half a year, have caused enough trouble. As a result, the circle of scholars has calmed down a bit.

But no one knows whether there is greater turmoil brewing beneath this calmness. After all, as long as the war doesn't really end, there will always be some restless guys who will try their best to cause trouble.

Some people engage in trouble for fame, some for profit, and some simply do it to prevent chaos in the world. Of course, this does not exclude the empire from being careful.

Those scholars whose heads were beheaded were accused of being spies. Under the "conclusive evidence", not only did no one complain about them, but everyone reviled them...

There are also rumors that during the war, many Jianghu sects were afraid that the dynasty would lose the war, and the war was raging in the country. For their own safety, they wanted to expand their sects and recruit disciples.

Although I don’t know if this news is true, when this kind of gossip spread, a master who had not been seen for decades spoke up, saying that he was lacking in knowledge and wanted to travel around the world!

Then those martial arts sects became honest and never mentioned anything about expanding their sects to recruit more disciples, and even restrained their disciples to be cautious in their words and deeds.

Whether the Jianghu sect wants to expand the mountain gate, whether the master said that he wants to travel around the world, no one knows whether these things are true, but this is what the gossip says, anyway, there are no big things in the country now, it is relatively calm, this

It's true...

That day, after Yunjing told his master the process, methods and precautions for making gunpowder, Li Qiu calmed down and smiled more than before.

Yunjing couldn't guess what the master was thinking, and he didn't try to speculate, nor did he ask how he would use gunpowder in the future. I guess Li Qiu had his own plans.

The days go by like this day by day, and the semester ends soon. The winter vacation is coming, the roads are blocked by heavy snow, and people can only stay at home and watch the winter.

In the previous semester, Yunjing's knowledge class also conducted an assessment.

Although Yunjing is a top student, he has accumulated several years or even ten years less than many people in the class in terms of knowledge, so he did not get the first place.

But even so, his results are still among the best, and he has a tendency to catch up from behind, which makes people look at him.

Lin Yexing and Chen Yijian's grades were at the bottom of the class. There was nothing they could do about it. They had less time to study than others, and there were too many things to learn in the class, so it was very difficult for them to learn.

This situation made Lin Yexing feel a sense of despair. He couldn't understand. In terms of knowledge, everyone was human, and he was two years older than Yun Jing. How could he not learn from him?

This guy is worthy of the name Qingzhu. He is tenacious and numb after despair. Anyway, there is only one thought in his heart. One day, he must surpass Yunjing once, even once, no matter in any aspect!

Well, he relaxed the conditions for surpassing Yunjing again. He used to want to compete in knowledge and martial arts. Now, he doesn't care about anything, as long as he can surpass Yunjing. Age does not count, he has always been older than Yunjing...

Youdao has only a wrong nickname but not a wrong name. After Chen Yijian was upgraded to the Zhiwen class, he struggled to learn knowledge, but he was quite talented in swordsmanship. After one semester, his basic swordsmanship was

He has really gained some proficiency in practice. Even though Lin Yexing has his sister to help him, he is still no match for Chen Yijian in terms of basic swordsmanship!

Chen Yijian obviously had a hard time learning basic swordsmanship on the first day. Who knows when he secretly got the idea? Anyway, in terms of swordsmanship, this guy has a tendency to make great progress, which is amazing.

He truly lives up to his reputation as a swordsman.

During the winter vacation, Yunjing and scholar Song Yan lived in Li Qiu's house.

At his master's house, Yunjing spent most of his time every day studying and practicing martial arts, and he also spent most of his time playing chess with his master for entertainment.

Now Yunjing's chess skills are on par with Li Qiu's. We come and go back and forth, and sometimes a game of chess has to be played continuously for several days.

This can't help but make Yunjing tangled, it would be great if his chess talent was focused on poetry.

Poetry is the eternal pain in his heart.

After studying the poems of many famous writers in the world, I look at the poems I once wrote. Although they are not unsightly, I really feel a little unable to use them...

Mistress seemed very happy about Yunjing's arrival. She prepared delicious food for Yunjing in different ways every day, and even sewed clothes for him with her own hands. Sometimes she would talk to Yunjing's Lala family, and she was in a particularly good mood.

Through occasional exchanges with his junior wife, Yunjing learned that his two senior brothers failed the state examination this year and failed to pass the examination. They have not come back now and have gone on study tours to gain more knowledge.

She didn't go back home, which made the teacher's wife often complain that her son was too old to control her. But when it came to her son's failure in the exam, she still felt a little distressed. After all, it was her own child...

Li Qiu always seemed very calm, as if he had forgotten the worries of his family and country.

But the more he behaves like this, the more Yunjing knows in his heart that the time for his master's real departure has entered the final countdown. He plays chess with him every day and explains to him what he doesn't understand in his studies. It's probably because he spends so much time with him in the future.

There are very few opportunities...

It is worth mentioning that in the previous semester, Xiao Yundong often came to Yunjing and complained that studying was so tiring. He didn’t want to study anymore and wanted to go home and herd the cows.

It's great to herd cows. The cows are just full and there are not so many worries. As for studying, if he doesn't learn well, he will be slapped by the teacher and has to be explained by the master in the middle of the night, which makes his head feel big.

In this regard, Yunjing could only say, brother, where are you? What you are learning now is simple, but there will be times when you will have real headaches in the future.

Tsk, there's no way around it. Yundong doesn't have much academic talent after all, and his personality is too out-of-touch.

As an elder brother, Yunjing doesn't expect or insist that he can learn anything famous. He can read and digit without being blind. He is already better than most people in this world. If he can still obtain fame in the future

, that would be better.

After all, he is his own brother. Yunjing often explains to him what he doesn't understand, but he just can't learn it. What do you want to do? Sometimes Yunjing wants to beat him up. What's wrong with your stupid head?

I just don't understand.

What particularly troubled Yunjing was that Yundong was not good at anything and was the first in troublemaking. In one semester, he had several fights with his classmates in school.

This can't help but make Yun Jing speechless. Is everyone's younger brother like this when they were young?

After all, Yundong was a child from the countryside, and his physical strength was unparalleled among his peers. He almost won all the fights, and even played the harp to Yunjing. Yunjing was extremely speechless.

When asked why he was fighting, he said that others laughed at him because he was from the countryside, so he beat him when he was angry. To this, Yun Jingxin said that the beating was good, but he said, why do you care so much about him? It would be shameless to learn to be good to others.

That’s it.

But his study, tsk, is confusing to talk about.

Fortunately, Yun Dong still has a master, otherwise Yun Jing would have had a lot of headaches because of this younger brother. The eldest brother is a father, and this sentence is not just for words.

Not to mention, that guy Yundong has a very strong self-esteem. He often tells Yunjing, brother, if I am bullied, you have to stand up for me, but it is just a talk, and most of the problems are solved by himself.

Coming from a rural area, I still have some independence...

In a calm winter day, one day Li Qiu took Yunjing alone to the valley where the 'big firecrackers' were experimented with. Then Li Qiu took out some gunpowder and 'big firecrackers'.

These were all made secretly by himself based on the recipes and processes provided by Yunjing.

After some experiments, a series of banging and banging explosions sounded in the valley, like thunder in winter, causing the snow in the valley to collapse.

After finishing, Li Qiu asked Yunjing how he felt about what he had done.

Looking at a mountain that was collapsed by a washbasin-sized ‘iron melon egg’, Yunjing gave a thumbs up and said, Master, you are doing much better than me.

Yun Jing was a little ashamed and thought to himself, Master, do you also have a phobia of insufficient firepower? Why not make it as big as possible? With such a big bomb, the city wall can collapse...

Li Qiu didn't have the nerve to tell Yun Jing that he almost blew himself up many times in order to test it. As an innate master, he ran away when he saw something was wrong, so he didn't get blown up. Also, in order to test the iron shell containing gunpowder

, he spent a lot of brains, and it became too thick to explode and became a dud...

What he didn't tell Yun Jing was that testing this thing was really expensive...

Regarding Yunjing's thumbs-up praise, he humbly said that he had improved it based on the ideas provided by Yunjing, and ordinary innate masters would die if they were hit by one!

In other words, in theory, ordinary people can kill innate masters with this thing.

Of course, this is just an ideal theory. If ordinary people want to kill an innate master, even if they are holding such a powerful bomb, it is almost impossible. With their reaction ability, you will not even have a chance to explode unless it is unexpected.

But applying this kind of thing to the battlefield is another matter...

The peaceful winter life passed like this. After spring began, Yunjing turned eleven years old, and it was already his eleventh year since he came to this world.

After spring started, before school started, the Yunjing and Yundong brothers went back home to reunite with their families.

The pear tree in the yard was full of white pear blossoms. It was planted by Zeng Jiang Susu when she married into this family. She often looked at the pear tree in a daze.

When I went back that time, everything was fine at home.

One day, under the pear tree in the yard, Jiang Susu told Yunjing, who had grown taller than her, that she was a little homesick, missing her own home.

Although her own home has been gone for more than ten years, she has not been able to go back and take a look.

The mother was just complaining, but Yunjing wrote this down. If he had time, he would definitely take his mother back to his hometown to see it.

He asked his mother where her hometown was and learned that her mother had fled for more than three months. She did not know the specific location of her hometown, but she only knew that it was a place called Xiaolin Village.

I only know a place name, but I don’t even know the specific direction and distance. This is difficult. I have to look it up...

After a brief reunion with their families, the brothers returned to the town, school started, and they wanted to continue studying.

On the first day of school, all the teachers and students gathered. It was Li Qiu who sent Yunjing to school in the morning. But when they gathered, Li Qiu was not there. The mayor of Niujiao Town announced in public that Yundong’s master, Mr. Zhao Weiju,

, became the new headmaster of the school.

The day has finally come.

That day, Yunjing did not see his master, nor did he see him after school. The scholar Song Yan gave Yunjing a thick letter, which was left for him by Li Qiu.

The master left. We had been together for many years, and he left just like that. He left quietly and unexpectedly. He didn't even say hello to Yun Jing.

The feeling of parting was not pleasant. They were as close as father and son. Li Qiu didn't want to face the pain of parting, so he simply left. What he needed to explain was Yunjing's next arrangements, which he wrote in the letter...
