Chancellor Ji held his beard and nodded gratefully.
Looking at the two of them who were full of vigor, his eyes were filled with emotion.
Gu Bai and Liu Zhengxin had been guided step by step by him from the time they entered the school to the time they entered the ranks of Confucianism. Now that the two of them were about to enter the capital to take the examination, the current situation was just like him back then.
"When I was young, my family was poor, but I still didn't know how to improve. After wasting time, I finally understood the importance of knowledge. But flowers have a day to open again, people no longer young, black hair do not know to study hard early, white head regret reading late.”
Looking back on the past, scenes kept appearing in his mind.
Now that he was over fifty years old and had stopped at the second grade of Confucianism and Taoism, he knew that time waited for no man.
Gu Bai and Liu Zhengxin saw that Chancellor Ji's expression was mixed with joy and sorrow, although they didn't know why? He thought that his teacher was depressed because he went to Shaohua City to provide support.
Although he was worried about Chancellor Ji, he couldn't stop him. This was a written order from the Emperor and the Prefecture Academy's Mountain Chief.
He could only ask with concern,"
"Teacher, this journey is dangerous. Please be careful. I will wait for you to return and send us off to the capital."
Chancellor Ji nodded and got up to go to the window of the study. He looked out the window in the direction of the academy's diligent hall and sighed,"
" Changshou, you are a strict and self-disciplined person. When I go to Shaohua Mansion, the county is empty. In case of demons and devils, you will be in charge of the Academy for the time being. Zhengde will assist you."
Gu Bai and Liu Zhengxin looked at each other and nodded at Chancellor Ji in unison.
Liu Zhengxin knew that even though they were fellow disciples, Gu Bai's talent was above his.
"Is it urgent?"
Gu Bai asked. Although he didn't know why Chancellor Ji was so anxious, he didn't ask much and only asked if it was urgent.
"Yes."
Chancellor Ji responded and didn't give a direct answer.
Gu Bai thought for a moment. Generally, a second-grade Confucian could guard a county academy. It shouldn't be a problem for him to be a second-grade Confucian! He stood up and cupped his hands.
" Teacher, unless I die, I won't let the demons and devils destroy the Academy."
Liu Zhengxin followed closely behind Gu Bai and said,
"Teacher, I will definitely assist Senior Brother and wait for your safe return."
At this moment, two people came from outside the door. They were the people sent by the county magistrate to escort Chancellor Ji to Shaohua Manor.
Outside the Academy
The county magistrate and the people who sent them off had already prepared the carriage. After exchanging greetings, everyone
Before Chancellor Ji boarded the carriage, he turned around again and instructed the two of them,"
"I have a painting in my study that was created in my early years. Although it can't be used as a demon-suppressing calligraphy treasure, if an accident happens and the two of you tear it up, I will sense it!”
After saying that, Chancellor Ji didn't wait for the two of them to speak. He waved his hand and turned around to get into the carriage. As the carriage left, Chancellor Ji's heroic poetic voice came from the carriage,"
"Jiujiu Old Qin, we will go to the national disaster together. I swear I won't stop fighting until my blood runs dry."
At this moment, everyone who was sending him off bowed respectfully in the direction of Chancellor Ji's carriage at the same time.
When one side is in trouble, support from all sides
The reason why the human race was so powerful was because there were so many heroes who risked their lives!
As the carriage disappeared into the distance, Gu Bai turned around and saw a tall and sturdy man walking towards him. He was tall and strong, with strong arms and steady steps. His body was as sturdy as a wall. Looking at this fierce man's appearance, he had a short head of hair that stood upright like steel needles. He was arrogant and unruly. His forehead was wide, his eyebrows were like swords, his nose bridge was high, and his lips were thick. His faint beard complemented his hard chin, making him look even more powerful.
Who was this?
He pouted at Liu Zhengxin, who was looking sad.
Liu Zhengxin immediately understood. He was the son of the richest man in the county, Official Liu. He often followed Official Liu to deal with celebrities in the county.
"Senior Brother, you have lived in the countryside outside the county for a long time and don't know much about Lin 'an County. This is the county magistrate of Lin' an County, Lord Cao, a first-grade martial artist.”
Rank-1 martial artist?
Gu Bai had a certain understanding of this in his memories. In Great Qin, or perhaps the entire human race, martial arts consumed the most resources and talent, and there were very few people who could practice martial arts!
After introducing Gu Bai, Liu Zhengxin cupped his hands and introduced Gu Bai to Lord Cao. However, before he could speak, Lord Cao laughed out loud and said,
"Haha, Zhengxin, you don't need to introduce yourself. Gu Bai is a famous scholar in this county. I've heard a lot about you."
After all, he was the leader of Lin 'an County, so Gu Bai did not dare to be arrogant. He cupped his hands and bowed,
"I am Gu Bai, word length is Shou. Greetings, Lord Cao."
Lord Cao didn't dare to be arrogant. He helped Gu Bai up with both hands and said to Gu Bai eagerly,
"Changshou, I'm a few years older than you, you can call me Brother Cao or Old Cao."
The moment Lord Cao approached Gu Bai, he felt a ball of masculine blood rushing towards him, making it difficult for him to breathe. This was the blood of a martial artist, and even a Rank One martial artist could not restrain it.
As expected, his teacher was right. He must not let martial artists get close. If a martial artist of the Second Grade got close, even a Third Grade Confucian would be instantly killed.
ahem
Taking a step back, Gu Bai coughed lightly and cupped his hands.
"Lord Cao is too polite, I dare not be arrogant."
Seeing Gu Bai's reaction, Lord Cao understood that Gu Bai was not used to his own blood. He could only shake his head awkwardly and say,
"Changshou, I'm sorry. I'm just a rough person, don't mind me.
Gu Bai nodded and did not say anything, which made Lord Cao even more embarrassed. Liu Zhengxin, who was beside him, tried to smooth things over.
" Lord Cao, my senior brother is in charge of the Academy now. If you have any instructions, just tell my senior brother."
Cao Da looked at Liu Zhengxin with admiration, then said to Gu Bai in a flattering manner,
" Mayor, the Chancellor of the Academy has gone to Shaohua Mansion. The safety of the Academy and the county is in your hands now. Although I am a county magistrate, I am a warrior. I am not as smart as you. If you have any ideas, just tell me."”
After the Great Qin Empire passed the imperial examination, they issued a special decree to recruit ordinary Confucian students. They could choose two paths. One was to become an official in the imperial court and gather the public's will to build the Confucian taste. The other was to enter the Academy and educate the people to gather the righteous spirit.
Most of the Confucian and Taoist students would choose to enter the Academy to educate the people, so many county magistrates were warriors or talented ordinary people.
Arrange?
What was there to arrange? Play music and dance
I really want to tell him that I'm now a second-grade Confucian cultivator, in the Lip Spear Realm.
Gu Bai thought to himself, but he said with a serious expression,
" Lord Cao, strengthen the alert and send more troops to patrol Lin 'an County. Inform the Academy if anything happens."
......
Seeing that it was getting late and the cold wind was blowing, Liu Zhengxin, who had just left, came to Gu Bai with the disciples of the Academy.
Seeing this, Lord Cao tactfully cupped his hands and said goodbye,"Changshou, Zhengde, although the two of you are young, you have a great responsibility. It's a great honor for the human race to have your inheritance."
Gu Bai nodded slightly and turned around to look at the disciples who lived in the Academy for a long time. There were ten of them in total, and they were all orphans whom the Chancellor had rescued over the years. Their parents had all died to demons. The oldest was ten years old, and the youngest was six years old. Now that he had promised the Chancellor to take care of them, he could not go back on his word.
Liu Zhengxin walked to Gu Bai's side and whispered to him,
"Senior Brother, I've asked them to prepare a guest room for you. Why don't you stay in the Academy for the time being?”
" Firstly, I can guard the Academy. Secondly, I can help look after these disciples of the Academy."
Gu Bai nodded. He was supposed to read books in the Academy's Literature Pavilion today, but he didn't expect to encounter so many things.
this is also good
I can read more books during this period of time and learn more about this world.
Thinking of this, he looked up at the sun that was about to set. He was a little worried about Qiaoqiao, so he cupped his hands and said to Liu Zhengxin,
"Junior brother, please help senior brother. My wife is still at home. It's already late and I'm really worried."
" Senior Brother, you're welcome. We're all family. I'll ask someone to invite my sister-in-law over immediately. I guarantee that she'll be delivered to the Academy before sunset."
Liu Zhengxin patted his chest and promised,"
At this moment, on a nameless mountain about a hundred miles away from Lin 'an County, a black-clothed masked man stood on the mountain and looked in the direction of Lin' an County.
a moment
A gust of wind blew, and a one-meter-tall weasel came to the front of the black masked man and said hoarsely,
"Tsk tsk."
"We're ready. Is the decree ready?”
The black-robed masked man did not move. With a flash of golden light, a golden decree floated in front of them. The decree emitted a soul-stirring fear, causing the two of them to take a step back and circulate their divine power to resist. The black-robed man said to the weasel in a low voice that could not be distinguished between male and female,
"Three days from now, at midnight, I want blood to flow like a river in Nan Hua Mansion."
