Dean Zhang once said that the world is like a big river rolling forward.
Any powerful person is just a big fish in a big river.
Because there are too many powerful people in this world, too many coincidences, and too many wills, so everyone has a will, but no one knows what will happen to this big river after it turns a bend.
Which direction will it eventually flow to?
The same is true in life.
Everyone can try their best to do something, but no one knows who you will meet when you walk under the willow tree after dusk one day.
That day, the eldest princess of Yunqin, Sun Muyue, passed through Lulin Town with Nangong Weiyang with her worries and ambitions for this powerful empire. There, Nangong Weiyang met Lin Xi.
Just like Uncle Liu who tested the driver, Lin Xi used her unique ability to test Nangong Weiyang, but was almost knocked into an idiot by Nangong Weiyang.
So when she heard Changsun Muyue say that she was the one who recommended him, Lin Xi thought of this young girl who looked younger than herself, and thought that she was also a practitioner now and had achieved some success. She wondered if she could win.
Better than Nangong Weiyang.
But he didn't know that Nangong Weiyang's cultivation level was countless levels higher than his, and he had killed countless cultivators who were more powerful than him in a single song.
The students and lecturers of Thunder College left.
Emperor Yunqin didn't seem to want to stay in the Dengtian Mountains, and all his entourage had already begun to pack their bags.
At this moment, after receiving notification from Mu Qing, Lin Xi, Gao Yanan, Bian Linghan, and Wen Xuanyu rushed to a camp at the foot of the mountain.
There was only one Zhongzhou Guard general and one palace maid in this camp.
General Zhongzhou Wei is very young, with a face in his early thirties, sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes. Both his appearance and temperament make people immediately associate the word "excellent" with him.
The palace maid is only in her early twenties. She is dignified and graceful. She wears a little makeup and her eyebrows are particularly beautiful.
However, because the splendid silver armor of this Zhongzhou Guard general is particularly vicissitudes of life and the aura of being bumpy in the world compared to some of the Zhongzhou Guards we have seen before, and this palace maid shows that she does not match her age in every way.
He was calm and experienced, so even Lin Xi didn't have any bad thoughts just because the two of them were alone.
…
The young general of the Zhongzhou Guard and the palace maid Qingli were also looking at the four students from Qingluan College who had just entered the account.
Lin Xi was calm and natural, her eyes full of purity and curiosity.
Gao Yanan was indifferent and took it easy when he came, no matter what the summons was about.
Bian Linghan is cautious and calm, yet soft and steely.
Wen Xuanyu was cold and arrogant. Even if he came in at the same time, he would naturally be separated from the three of them by a certain distance. He was silent and quiet, with the cold feeling of relying on himself and rejecting others thousands of miles away.
These are really four completely different people, but they are all the top students of Qingluan Academy.
The eyes of the young general of the Zhongzhou Guard became softer and more satisfied. He did not ask the four of them to sit down. He just smiled generously and said: "My name is Su Longshu. I also graduated from the Zhige Department of Qingluan College. Because I have this level
relationship, so Her Royal Highness the Princess also specially asked me and Liu Xiunv to come together."
"It turns out to be senior brother." Bian Linghan was immediately in awe and took the lead in saluting the young general of Zhongzhou Guard. Even the aloof Wen Xuanyu saluted seriously after a slight pause.
"Is there anyone in the Zhongzhou Guard who graduated from our Qingluan College?" Lin Xi was stunned and couldn't help but whisper in Gao Yanan's ear.
Gao Yanan's lips moved slightly during the salute: "Our Yunqin law does not stipulate that college students are not allowed to enter the Zhongzhou Guard."
Lin Xi thought about it. After all, there were only a few people who were "poisoned" by Dean Zhang and they didn't have much concept of monarchs and ministers. For most practitioners in this world, even the students who left Qingluan Academy, naturally they still hold the "
Isn’t it such an old-fashioned concept that if the king wants his minister to die, he must die?
For a moment, she thought that she was a "country bumpkin", but then she thought of others as being old-fashioned. Lin Xi couldn't help but smile at the corner of her mouth.
"This is Liu Xiunv, a person close to Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess. Because this award of honors comes from the Holy Will, Liu Xiunv is also considered to be half of the cabinet, so she will award you the honors." Su.
Long Shu returned the salute calmly, smiled at the Palace Maid Qingli beside him, and took a step back humbly, meaning that it was the Palace Maid Qingli's business now.
Palace Maid Qingli smiled slightly, but Lin Xi and others were stunned: "Conferment of honors?"
"Your Majesty and the eldest princess appreciate your performance this time." Palace Maid Qingli looked at the four people who were all very surprised and explained: "Therefore, the Holy Will has been issued, ordering me to confer honors on the four virtuous people, and on the bravery and loyalty.
medal."
"Thank you, Holy Lord, for your kindness." Bian Linghan, Gao Yanan, and Wen Xuanyu all knelt down and saluted.
Seeing Lin Xi still standing beside him, Bian Linghan felt anxious and tugged at the corner of Lin Xi's clothes hard.
At this time, Liu Xiunv was conveying the imperial edict, and she represented the current emperor.
…
Wen Xuanyu thanked the saint, stood up again, and watched the Qingli palace lady take out four round pure gold medals the size of copper plates, and looked at the hollow pattern of the word "Yong" on the front, but his brows furrowed deeply.
He said: "We didn't go to the battlefield to kill the enemy in person...how could we be awarded this Medal of Loyalty and Bravery?"
Liu Xiunv smiled slightly, first put a round solid gold badge in Wen Xuanyu's hand, and then said in a manly voice: "Your Majesty said, this battle is no less dangerous than performing a mission on the battlefield. Can you
You have enough courage to represent the academy to be rewarded, and His Majesty also appreciates your performance very much."
This question can only be asked to Liu Xiunv. The Holy Spirit's wishes cannot be violated.
Thinking that he had only searched for a prisoner in the past few days, Wen Xuanyu felt more and more hot to the touch of this medal that represented glory. He lowered his head and put it into his sleeve.
Not so with Lin Xi.
He knows too little about things in this world and is always full of strong curiosity. In addition, unlike many students, he does not think about future officialdom and does not have much tact. Therefore, he looks at people simply.
Su Longshu and Liu Xiunv were not restrained. He turned over the golden medal Liu Xiunv held in his hand and saw that the other side was a hollow word "loyalty". The hollow words on both sides were engraved with extremely
The fine texture is like flowing clouds.
Although it is only a pattern and not a rune pattern, the level of detail and sophistication is probably beyond the reach of a skilled craftsman.
"Senior Brother Su, is this medal of loyalty and bravery so rare?" He raised his head slightly, moved his eyes from the medal in his hand to Su Longshu, and asked without any scruples.
Su Longshu himself wanted to find more topics to get closer to Lin Xi and others. When he heard Lin Xi's question, he immediately smiled and said: "Why, Junior Brother Lin is devoted to cultivation, and he doesn't know much about Yun Qin's award?
"
Lin Xi shook her head: "I know nothing."
Su Longshu smiled and said, "It seems I can explain it more carefully."
Lin Xi also smiled: "The more careful you are, the better."
Su Longshu nodded gently, without any nonsense, and said slowly: "I, Yunqin, have two kinds of medals that represent glory. One is awarded by Zhengwu Division, which depends entirely on military merit. From top to bottom, there are Tianyao medals.
There are a total of nine levels and sixteen kinds of medals, such as General Star, Divine Mandarin, Thorn, Falling Star, and Fearless. These medals of Zhengwu Division are all determined by the performance of missions in the army. The sources of the sixteen kinds of medals are all from a war or a war.
Among the allusions of a hero, some of them are of the same rank, but different medals are awarded based on the nature of meritorious service. Another kind of medal is hand-picked by the Holy One, representing the Holy One's appreciation, and is divided into Zhenguo from top to bottom.
The seven-level medals of being a marquis, quelling chaos, being a great sage, being a dragon, being loyal and brave, and being the first. The seven-level medals appointed by the Holy One are based on the contribution to the Holy One and Yunqin as judged by the Holy One. For example, Zhenguo is
The immortal medal can only be obtained by those who have made great achievements in conquering the country and opening up frontiers in Yunqin. To be named a marquis means that the person's merits are enough to make the emperor a fiefdom and become a prince."
Lin Xi glanced at Su Longshu, smiled, and said: "Brother, you can put it more simply and clearly. At least I haven't understood how valuable this medal of loyalty and bravery is."
Su Longshu was startled for a moment, thought about the wording, and said: "Generally speaking, it is equivalent to carrying out a dangerous mission among the border troops. For example, ten people were dispatched for that mission. I am afraid that even if it succeeds, five of them will have to serve the country.
The level of risk involved in sacrificing one's life... If you are the best among the five survivors, you may be awarded this Medal of Loyalty and Bravery."
Lin Xi thought for a while and said, "Sure enough, it's a bit too heavy."
Su Longshu smiled and said nothing.
Lin Xi suddenly asked again: "Does this have anything to do with official rank...promotion?"
"This..." Su Longshu glanced at Liu Xiunv beside him, with a slightly embarrassed look on his face, but he hesitated slightly and then explained: "My Yunqin medals are all related to military merit. This
The military merit of the Medal of Loyalty and Valor...is roughly enough to be promoted from the eighth grade to the full eighth grade."
"Then our Qingluan College students normally graduate from the eighth rank. Now that I have obtained this medal, does it mean that I have reached the eighth rank and my rank is equivalent to that of a mausoleum governor?" Lin Xi then asked.
The embarrassed look on Su Longshu's face became more intense, and he nodded and said: "...Yes."
"Then if you go to take up a position in the military or somewhere, you will automatically be one level higher than other students when you go out?"
"…..Yes."
"Aside from being able to make a bigger job by becoming an official, are there any other benefits?"
“…..”
Su Longshu had a grimace on his face and a layer of sweat broke out on his head. He thought to himself, Junior Brother Lin Xi, even if you are a fan of officials, you still have to see the scene... There are people from the emperor standing next to you, but you can speak so straightforwardly.
, I said that official rank does not count, but I also asked directly if there are any other benefits.
"Is there any more?" Lin Xi had a pure face, looking at Su Longshu who was sweating, and asked curiously: "Is there any more?"
Su Longshu's embarrassment because he was afraid that Lin Xi's words at this moment would leave a bad impression on the emperor fell into Liu Xiunv's eyes, but Liu Xiunv smiled slightly, looked at Lin Xi and said: "We Yun Qin Chongwu."
"kindness?"
"So in addition to the fact that these medals are related to military promotions, as long as you obtain more than two medals, if you commit any crime, the local government will not have the right to deal with it. At least you have to be escorted to the provincial criminal department to make a decision. If you get the great honor of the Holy Lord
Even if someone is awarded a medal for virtue or fearlessness from the military, even if he commits a serious crime, he must at least be escorted to the Criminal Division to the Heavenly Court before a decision can be made, and no punishment can be imposed on him along the way."
Liu Xiunv looked at Lin Xi who was listening with great interest, thought for a moment, and then said: "And among the local army and frontier army, many non-commissioned officers and veterans do not necessarily have much respect for officials from other departments... But regardless of whether the military headquarters or the representative of the Saint
En's medals are all manifestations of true courage, because even the lowest among the seven levels of the Holy Order, the Honorable Medal, rewards the warriors who risked their lives during the war and rushed into the enemy's formation first."
Lin Xi nodded: "The vanguard who rushes into the enemy's formation first is of course the most likely to die. Those who survive are of course qualified to receive this medal."
Liu Xiunv found Lin Xi more and more interesting and nodded.
"So this medal can be used to bluff people." Lin Xi saluted and thanked him, put away the medal, and said this casually.
Su Longshu was relieved when he heard that Lin Xi stopped asking questions. Now he heard Lin Xi suddenly said this sentence, and a dense layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.
Liu Xiunv was slightly startled, but couldn't help but smile slightly. She looked at Lin Xi and said, "Sometimes it can indeed be used to bluff people."
