Chapter 360 Middle-aged Scholar

Chapter 360 Middle-aged Scholar
In the world of martial arts, there is a customary rule that the family members are not to be harmed.

The so-called grievance has its head, and the debt has its owner!
This point is observed by most warriors, otherwise everyone will ignore the rules, then this world of martial arts will surely be filled with blood and blood every day, and there will be no peace.

On the mainland, there is the Xingtian Temple.

It means to inspect the common people and enforce the law on behalf of the sky.Their existence is not only to suppress the evil heresy in the world, but also to restrain warriors.

But the East Spirit Realm is too remote after all.

Not all warriors will abide by that rule.

Lin Huang didn't know whether Jiang Licheng was really going to the Great Xia Dynasty, but even if there was a one in ten thousand possibility, Lin Huang didn't dare to bet.

In that city, there is an old man.

Even the former Great Xia God of War, if he meets Jiang Licheng, how can he be the opponent of the latter.With the addition of 60 soldiers and horses from the General's Mansion, it would be difficult to stop Jiang Licheng's pace.

In the East Spirit Realm, Lin Huang raced all the way, hoping to return to the Great Xia Dynasty before Jiang Licheng.

……

On the official road leading to the Great Xia Dynasty, a white carriage slowly moved forward.From sunrise to sunset, the carriage traveled three hundred miles.

In the carriage, there were coughing sounds from time to time, causing the middle-aged man who drove the carriage to frown.It's really unlucky for the new carriage I just bought to pull such a sick person.

In the carriage, a middle-aged Confucian scholar was holding a yellowed scroll. He was a little listless, coughing constantly, but carefully reading the words in the book.

Beside him, there is a bookcase full of crumpled books.

Although the middle-aged man was dressed in white, it was a little worn out and looked a little yellowed.It looks a bit shabby, if it is not because of the cold and constant coughing, I am afraid that I will not take a extravagant ride in the carriage.

"Excuse me, I don't know how long it will take to reach the Great Xia Imperial City?"

The middle-aged man lifted the curtain, coughed and asked the middle-aged man driving the car.

"It's still early, it's going to be dark, let's find a place to spend the night. Then we'll go on the road tomorrow, and we will be able to reach the Great Xia Imperial City at noon tomorrow!"

The middle-aged man said impatiently.

"Oh……"

The middle-aged scholar closed his eyes slightly, and then sat back in the carriage.

After driving another three miles, the middle-aged man suddenly asked: "Looking at your age, you should have taken the exam several times, why haven't you been to the Great Xia Imperial City?"

The middle-aged scholar's cough suddenly choked, his face flushed and he said in embarrassment: "I'm so ashamed. I wasted 40 years of my life and missed the exam ten times. It was only the sixth time that I became a scholar, and this time I was lucky enough to enter the imperial examination." Participate in the test!"

"Then you should be ashamed!"

The middle-aged man nodded, and said with a proud face, "My nephew, he became a Tanhualang after taking the exam twice, it's amazing!"

In the carriage, the middle-aged scholar frowned, seemingly jealous.

But I heard the man driving the car continue, "It's a pity, this kid is a white-eyed wolf. I beat him up at the beginning. He framed me and imprisoned me for two years. It's a big treason!"

"You said I hit my brother, is there anything wrong?"

The middle-aged man complained, twitching the whip forcefully, the painful horse staggered and rushed out, almost throwing the middle-aged scholar out of the frame.

"Your nephew is a dragon and a phoenix among men!"

After the middle-aged scholar stabilized his figure, he replied dryly, looking a little pedantic, but his frown was slightly relieved.

"I said you scholars really know how to pick your time. The exams are all after late autumn, and you ran to the imperial city before autumn, the sun is shining..."

The middle-aged man complained endlessly.

In the carriage, the middle-aged scholar frowned again.

"But you sick child, you really have to enter the imperial city early. The climate changes too fast. If you are not careful, you will become seriously ill. It is difficult to walk. You are still talking about going to Beijing to catch the exam. Even if you die, you have to find a good place Isn’t it a place like this? How wonderful is this imperial city, there is a miracle doctor when you are sick, and it is still a treasure land of geomantic omen after death!”

The middle-aged man said, as if cursing the middle-aged scholar, he spoke heartlessly, but the middle-aged scholar's brow eased a little.

Under the setting sun, two people in a carriage rumbled towards the Great Xia Imperial City.

Until the morning of the next day, when the two of them were still a hundred miles away from the Great Xia Imperial City, the carriage clanged and there was a jolt, shaking the scroll in the middle-aged scholar's hand and flying straight out.

"Damn, what a bad luck!"

Outside the carriage, the sound of a middle-aged man cursing could be heard.

"Cough cough..."

The middle-aged scholar coughed for a while, then opened the car curtain, "What happened?"

"The wheel is broken!"

The middle-aged man jumped out of the carriage, frowning, and looked at the middle-aged scholar in displeasure, "It's all because your broken box is too heavy, the carriage can't bear it!"

"My bookcase weighs less than ten catties!"

The middle-aged scholar retorted.

"Ten catties is heavy. Anyway, it's because of carrying you, which is bad luck. This is a new carriage I bought for ten taels of silver!"

The middle-aged man said arrogantly, "You have to pay more!"

"You are extorting!"

The middle-aged scholar is also impatient, and he is also very poor. If there is any extra money, take a carriage, and after arriving in the Great Xia Imperial City, I am afraid that he will have to eat steamed buns for half a month.

"Why... are you impatient? If my car wasn't because of you, would it be broken? Don't I need time to repair it? Or you can pay the money now and get out of the car and walk!"

The middle-aged man is unreasonable.

"you……"

The middle-aged scholar was furious. He looked at the middle-aged man with a fierce look on his face, but his aura weakened. He gritted his teeth and said in unison, "Add more money, how long will it take to reach the imperial city?"

"At dusk!"

The middle-aged man grinned and said, without any of the previous fierceness.

The middle-aged scholar thought for a moment, and then sat back in the carriage silently, like a weak and stuffy gourd, waiting for the middle-aged man to fix the carriage.

……

at dusk.

In the mansion of the general, Lin Beichen was still lying under the old locust tree, with a sigh, but there was a smile on his old face.

On the stone table next to him, sat a middle-aged man, dressed in a dark red round collar official uniform, with a straight waist and a face as deep as a rock in the deep sea.

The whole person sat there, very dignified and majestic.

"Xiao Bai..."

Lin Beichen beckoned, with an old and lazy look, as if he was barking a dog, which made the corners of the middle-aged man's mouth tremble slightly.

"What do you say about my precious grandson and your little bastard?"

Lin Beichen asked with a smile.

The corners of Bai Pojun's mouth trembled more and more violently, thinking that the one in your family is the little bastard, but his face was full of smiles, "Mr. Lin, you know something about the East Spirit Realm, nephew, don't ask me Are you asking for advice?"

Lin Beichen shook his head, "The Great Xia Dynasty is still too remote, how can the news be delivered so quickly. And the Anbu was established by Changtian, so I don't listen to the old man very much!"

"Is there no news from Changtian?"

Bai Pojun frowned and asked, before he got married and established a business, he and Lin Changtian were also the twin demons of the imperial city.

However, since Lin Changtian left the Great Xia Dynasty, in the past 20 years, the two only met once 18 years ago, and drank all the wine stored in his Shangshufu.

"This kid... maybe the old man won't be able to see him. You can live for a few more decades, maybe you can see him again!"

Lin Beichen said with a smile, his face was always a little lonely.

"I'll see you, I'll see you!"

Bai Pojun comforted without consolation, handed Lin Beichen a glass of wine, and ended the topic.But Bai Pojun drank a glass of wine by himself, his eyes turned red when he thought of that little brat who could roll and walk.

"Your father and I are close friends, Changtian and you are like brothers, and Xiaohuang and Xiaopang have a very good relationship. If the old man leaves, you will be the elder of my Lin family and Bai family, do you understand?"

Lin Beichen sighed.

Bai Pojun's body was shocked instantly, and he felt countless sourness in his heart.Looking up at the old man in the rocking chair again, he finally realized that the latter was already old.

Since ancient times, famous generals are like beauties, and the world is not allowed to see gray hair.

He lost the high-spirited spirit of the past, and also lost the arrogance of defeating thousands of troops with a long spear.What is left is only the deep and shallow wrinkles on the face, full of wind, frost and longing.

"I will understand at the end!"

Bai Pojun said solemnly.

"This burden is very heavy. Since you understand it, I will leave it to you to carry it. The old man is a little tired. Go to sleep first!"

Lin Beichen sighed, and slowly closed his eyes, but a tear fell from the corner of his eyes, seemingly filled with endless sentimentality.The Great Xia God of War, who has been on the battlefield for more than forty years, finally shed tears in this lonely mansion of the general.

Bai Pojun closed his eyes and sighed, with a serious smile on his face.

The sun has not yet set.

Under the old locust tree in the courtyard, before the jug of wine was finished, the white carriage creaked and passed through the gate of the Great Xia Imperial City...
