The sky was high, the wind was blowing, the clouds were rolling, and the setting sun turned orange, making the entire sea of clouds look gorgeous.
Seeing such beauty will make you feel relaxed and happy at first, but if you see this scenery for more than 20 consecutive days, no matter how beautiful it is, it will feel boring.
"How long will it take for us to reach the border?"
After driving continuously for more than twenty days on the empty boat, Su Ping'an finally couldn't help but get bored and asked Wen Liang beside him.
On the deck, Wen Liang and Su Pingan were standing on the bow of the ship together, with a trace of exhaustion on the former's face.
It was the first time that he had taken on the role of a team leader. Not only did he have to take into account Kongzhou's travel schedule, but he also had to take care of the food, clothing, housing and transportation of all the students. Even with Feng Shaoyang helping him, some trivial chores still left him mentally and physically exhausted.
"Calculating the distance, it will probably take four or five days."
Wen Liang looked at the southern terrain map in his hand and gave a vague answer after a long time.
"Four or five more days?"
This sentence was not said by Su Pingan, but by Luo Feng who had just walked out of the cabin.
Luo Feng and Bai Hao were always inseparable, but at this time, the latter was not seen beside him. Otherwise, it was just because Bai Hao was seasick.
Even Su Ping'an didn't expect this scene.
Bai Hao, a fat man who was always out-of-touch and carefree, actually got seasick. This made Su Ping'an laugh at him for several days.
In fact, after Kongzhou left Daming Mansion, all the students were fine in the first two days due to excitement or other reasons. However, after a long period of running around, students on Kongzhou began to show signs of seasickness.
The empty boat stopped for a while and found a town below to help the students grab some medicine. This was able to curb the seasickness of the students a little.
But now that the medicine has been taken, many students can no longer bear it anymore.
Luo Feng's face was a little pale when he walked out. His symptoms of seasickness were mild and within the acceptable range, but he couldn't eat for several days in a row. He immediately said: "Brother Wenliang, it's been too long. I'm afraid that Master
None of the brothers can support us, and Junior Brother Meng Erhu and several other senior brothers have even shown signs of fever. If we don’t find a place to stop and rest, I’m afraid their condition will become more serious.”
When Wen Liang heard that things had turned out so bad, he immediately frowned and said with some hesitation: "But according to the agreement between Wen Gong and General Zhang of Bianguan, we must arrive at Tiemenguan on time within a month. Now
If I go down for repairs, I'm afraid I won't be able to arrive as promised."
After hearing this, Su Ping'an said: "The rules are dead, but people are alive. We are in a special situation now, so we can no longer act in accordance with the rules. Do you want to see so many students going to the border to fight against monsters in a sickly state?"
Repair it?!"
Hearing these words, Wen Liang was also troubled, but after weighing it, he finally felt that what Su Ping'an said was reasonable, "Well, in half a day's journey ahead, we should pass a place called 'Maverick Town'
, let’s rest there for a day and grab some medicine for everyone else.”
"good!"
Seeing that he could finally get off the boat and stop for a while, Su Pingan breathed a sigh of relief.
In fact, spending so many days on the boat with nothing to do made him feel as uncomfortable as being in prison.
Luo Feng and Su Pingan nodded, and then hurriedly returned to the cabin to tell the others the news. Soon, the cheers of the students could be heard in the entire cabin.
"These guys..."
Noticing this scene, Wen Liang couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.
Soon after, the empty boat landed, and a group of people got off the boat outside a small town. After all, the empty boat was too eye-catching, and it would be too ostentatious if it landed inside a town.
Su Ping'an and Luo Feng held up Bai Hao together, while Wen Liang and Feng Shaoyang also helped other students who were severely seasick. Together, they slowly walked into the town.
The first thing he did when he entered the town was Su Ping'an suggested finding a place to stay and letting everyone settle down first. Wen Liang also agreed.
"Fuji Inn. How about this one?"
After walking on the street for a while, the group saw a relatively large inn. Because there were many people and many students were severely seasick, they really couldn't take it away, so when they saw an inn, everyone walked in directly.
.
"Shopkeeper, do you have any spare rooms? Please arrange them for us as soon as possible..."
After entering the hotel, Wen Liang immediately called the innkeeper to negotiate. It was already dusk and it was the peak period for people to enter the hotel. Therefore, there were not many vacant rooms in the inn, only three rooms.
"What should we do if we don't have so many rooms?" Wen Liang frowned.
"It's okay, let everyone squeeze in. Those who are seriously seasick will sleep on the bed, and those who are lighter will make do with the floor for a while!" Su Pingan suggested.
"Forget it, this is all we can do for now!"
But just when Wen Liang was about to pay, another group of people suddenly came to the store and threw a bunch of money on the counter, shouting: "Shopkeeper, we've booked all your spare rooms."
, hurry up and arrange for us to move in!" Wen Liang frowned when he saw that someone was so unreasonable and wanted to take away their room. Then everyone looked back following the sound and saw a group of forty or fifty people, and
A group of young literary cultivators, all dressed in uniform and serving as students, were staring at Wen Liang and the others with arrogant and unkind expressions.
This scene stunned both Wen Liang and Feng Shaoyang.
Feng Shaoyang stared at the other party's clothes, and then asked doubtfully: "They are from Hongye College in Qizhou Prefecture. Why do these guys suddenly appear here?"
"Qizhou Prefecture, Hongye College?" Su Pingan was a little confused.
Luo Feng, who was next to him, then explained it to Su Ping'an.
Qizhou Prefecture is located to the right of Daming Prefecture, and the two prefectures are considered neighbors. The Hongye Academy in Qizhou Prefecture has the same status as the Daming Prefecture Literary Palace in Daming Prefecture. They are both academic palaces responsible for teaching literary cultivators in one place.
However, the overall strength of the Wen Palace is only slightly lower than that of Shendu Wen Yuan, so it is more famous than Hongye Academy in Qizhou Prefecture.
Because of this ranking dispute, the two have had several exchanges and competitions before, but in the end Damingfu Wen Gong won, so the two colleges can be considered old rivals.
At this moment, people from Hongye College have also recognized Wen Liang and his friends' clothes, and their eyes immediately shot out a cold light and fighting spirit, "Who am I? It turns out that I am from Wen Palace of Daming Palace. Why are you here too?"
?”
The students of Hongye Academy all wear azure-colored clothing, with a red leaf embroidered on their chests as a logo, as if they were afraid that others would not recognize them as members of Hongye Academy.
Moreover, people from Hongye Academy always carry guns and sticks whenever they open their mouths, which is very uncomfortable to hear.
Some students in the Wen Palace, mainly Feng Shaoyang, all had bad tempers. When they heard this, they immediately raised their eyebrows, "Why, do we still need to report to you people at Hongye College where we want to be?!
"
"That's not true. I'm just curious to see you all looking so sick. Could it be that this is also a new trick that your Daming Mansion Wen Palace has developed in the past two years?"
The words of Hong Ye's people suddenly stepped on the painful feet of everyone in the Wen Gong. Many students immediately exploded, "What did you say?"
"Do you know how to speak human language? If not, I'll teach you!"
"A group of defeated generals dare to bark in front of us!"
Su Ping'an was dumbfounded when he saw how powerful the Wen Gong people were when they were slandering others.
Could it be that the strongest skill in Wen Gong is not Confucianism and Taoism, but talking nonsense?!
