Dafeng Night Watchman

Chapter 44: Escape



The two brothers ran out of the Yasheng Academy, not daring to take the main road. They turned into the forest from the small path on the side of the courtyard and ran for a long time before stopping.

Xu Qi'an's breath was steady, and Xu Xinnian was holding a pine tree, panting. Because of the intense exercise, a touching flush appeared on his fair face.

"What should we do now?" Xu Qi'an planned to ask his "methodical" little brother for advice, and tried to ask:

"Did I just solve a problem that has been difficult for the academy for thousands of years?"

He did not expect that his words would cause such a terrible vision, and he did not know what would happen next, so he followed Xu Erlang and ran away.

Xu Xinnian panted, calmed his heartbeat, and said proudly, "It's a problem that has lasted for two hundred years at most."

Xu Qi'an took off the water bag and handed it over.

Xu Erlang took a sip and continued, "If I were a new student at the academy, I would suggest you stay where you are and wait to receive the worship and gratitude of the teachers and students of the academy."

"But now I just want to take you away quickly." He threw the water bag back to his cousin, waited for a while, and saw that his face was normal and there was no doubt.

Some disappointment and appreciation.

Appreciation, of course, because the cousin is very smart, different from his father's rough. This made Xu Xinnian, who thinks highly of himself, sincerely relieved.

Disappointment, is that he can't show off in front of his cousin and create a sense of superiority in IQ.

Yes, even if the cousin has made amazing poems many times, even if the cousin just wrote such a sentence on the stone tablet like splitting the mountain and opening the earth... Xu Xinnian still thinks that his IQ is higher.

Without this mentality, he can't do "If the sky doesn't give birth to me, Xu Xinnian, Dafeng will be like a long night forever"

The two brothers quickly shuttled through the woods and quietly touched the direction of the stable.

Leaving without saying goodbye is the best choice at this moment.

Xu Qiyan stayed at the scene, and what might greet him was the gratitude of Yunlu Academy, or even his worship as a great scholar... although it was unlikely.

This is the good side.

The bad side is also obvious. Yunlu Academy and the Imperial College are in a dispute over the orthodoxy. While Xu Qiyan accepted the gratitude of Yunlu Academy, he would definitely attract the hostility of scholars from the Imperial College.

The whole court is full of nobles, all from the Imperial College.

One tax case will cause endless troubles, and this is more dangerous and troublesome than a hundred tax cases.

Cijiu and I have the same idea... Xu Qiyan laughed and said, "Cijiu, you are really a dog."

Very good, Erlang is not a pedantic scholar, this may be because he studied the art of war intensively.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"Rough stuff." Xu Xinnian retorted, and then said: "As long as we leave, I believe the academy will not publicize it afterwards and will keep it secret for us."

He stopped talking, and hurried on his way, staring at the same time, and seemed taciturn.

...

The large square outside the Sage Academy.

Zhao Shou, who was wearing linen clothes and had gray hair, suddenly made an unexpected move. He turned around and stared at the back of the academy.

A few seconds later, the three great scholars made the same move, looking at it with solemn faces.

The eldest princess was confused and subconsciously turned her head along their gaze. The sky was clear and there was nothing.

But in the next moment, a clear air visible to the naked eye rose into the sky and penetrated the clouds. The heavy white clouds floating on Qingyun Mountain collapsed in full view of the

public.

Zhao Shou disappeared first, and the three great scholars then showed the magic of saying what they meant, and moved themselves three feet to the back of the academy.

The princess frowned slightly, lifted her skirt, and followed quickly but gracefully.

She was tall and graceful, and her charm when she walked was indescribable, but could only be understood.

...

In the Second Saint Academy, the candlesticks fell and the wax oil flowed densely.

In the empty hall, the clear air was like a spring breeze, highlighting Zhao Shou's figure. He quickly swept every corner of the hall, and then focused his eyes on the cracked inscription of Cheng's Second Saint.

This... The dean's pupils were like ancient wells, and he quickly analyzed the reason for the clear air.

The inscription of the suppression academy collapsed, and the aura contained in Yunlu Academy broke free from its shackles and overflowed, which caused the scene just now.

The question is, how could the inscription of Cheng's Second Saint collapse for no reason?

Soon, Dean Zhao understood. His eyes were attracted by the stone tablet he had erected in the hall. He looked at the content on the tablet and felt that the whole world was fading and disappearing. Only that line of ugly characters was deeply imprinted in his pupils.

Imprinted in his heart.

Become the only one in the world at this moment.

In the rippling of the fresh air that makes people feel like spring breeze, the figures of three

great scholars appear, and they subconsciously scan the entire hall.

When they saw the broken Cheng family sub-sage stone tablet, their pupils shrank

unconsciously.

Why did the stone tablet crack... No, this is a good thing, which means that the seal that suppresses the fate of Yunlu Academy has been shaken... Li Mubai thought to himself, and suddenly found that the dean's state was not right.

It was a state of being immersed in his own world and losing his soul.

The stone tablet was actually cracked. In the era when the sub-sage did not appear, someone could actually shake the Cheng family stone tablet... Zhang Shen and Chen Tai looked at each other, and saw shock and confusion in their eyes.

Then, like Li Mubai, they discovered something unusual about President Zhao.

"Establish a mind for heaven and earth, establish a life for the people, inherit the lost knowledge of the past sages, and open the balance for the world..." Zhang Shen murmured.

He was completely shocked by the spirit, character, and ambition contained in this sentence. He had goose bumps all over his body, and the blood in his chest seemed to boil. "This is what a scholar should really do." Chen Tai's lips trembled: "As an official, you should serve the people, the country, and the people of the world, not a family of one surname or a

few people."

This great scholar, who was praised for his great talent in governing the country, trembled uncontrollably at this moment, and his voice was hoarse: "I have been enlightened, I have been enlightened..."

Li Mubai took a deep breath and calmed down: "Who wrote this?"

The three of them looked at President Zhao Shou at the same time. The president had been in seclusion for more than ten years and worked hard to overthrow Cheng's Neo-Confucianism. If there is anyone who can create a new school of thought in the world, it must be him.

But the dean was with them just now, and his attitude at this time has explained everything. They were answered with silence. After a long time, Zhao Shou whispered: "You go out first. If

you have anything to say, we will discuss it later."

He continued: "A gentleman should keep silent."

The three great scholars bowed and left side by side.

The palace door was closed, and there was silence all around. Zhao Shou stood silently in front of the stele, with hollow doors and windows behind him, and the sun shone in.

After a long time, he straightened his clothes and bowed to the stele: "If I hear the truth in the

morning, I can die in the evening."

.....

The eldest princess finally rushed to the outside of the Sub-Sage Academy with her skirt lifted, but found that within ten feet of the academy, it was wrapped by an air cover like an inverted bowl, isolating the inside and the outside.

She was not in a hurry, and stood quietly at the steps outside the academy, like a quietly

blooming flower.

After a while, three great scholars came out side by side, their faces solemn, but it was hard to

tell whether they were good or bad.

"Three gentlemen, can you tell me?" The princess looked at the academy from afar.

"Princess, don't ask." Chen Tai bowed, "We have no clue about this matter for the time

being."

The princess smiled, and her noble face was as calm as ever.

Bidding farewell to the three great scholars, she walked alone towards the elegant pavilion. In

the mountain breeze, her silk skirt fluttered, as if she was an elf in the mountain, a fairy who came down to play.

Two rows of armored soldiers were still guarding outside the elegant pavilion, like silent

sculptures.

This 24-man Jinwu Guard was her guard team, and there was also a team of seven night watchmen at the foot of the mountain.

But the academy hated Wei Yuan very much and did not allow the night watchmen to go up

the mountain.

The princess led the guards down the mountain and found seven night watchmen waiting by the official road. She said in a clear voice: "The Yunlu Academy is full of pure energy, and the Yasheng Academy has been banned. Report this to Duke Wei and ask him to keep an eye on the academy and investigate this matter."

"Yes!" The night watchmen clasped their fists.

The princess continued: "Find someone for me, Xu Qian'an, the quick hand of Changle County

Court."

"Yes, sir."
