I go to the ancient imperial examinations

Chapter 329 Ebony Ring Ruler
Yang Xu was only nine years old, and faced death for the first time. Qiu Jinyu's death was a hurdle in his heart.

No matter what purpose Qiu Jinyu went to Aozikou, Yang Xu knew that he died because of him, and he couldn't forget this kindness.

Looking at his son who was in self-blame, Yang Shoucheng asked in a deep voice, "So you won't resent Xiaoyu because of Qiu Jinyu's death?"

Shaking his head, Yang Xu said, "I owe Brother Qiu my life, and this has nothing to do with Xiaoyu."

At that time, Yang Xu knew that Zhu Xiao didn't mean to play. Xiaoyu was the first to give up Brother Qiu, and the guards of the Marquis' Mansion in the town killed Brother Qiu and ten guards.

Afterwards, Xiaoyu asked Ah Nuan to take him away, and the people in the town's Marquis House did not stop him, so no matter what, Yang Xu would not hold grudges against Zhan Feiyu.

The irritable Qiu Zongxi's expression was relieved a bit, but he still kept a straight face, "The third house and the direct branch where the old man belongs have been at odds, if one day the third house finds you, Yang Xu, what should you do? "

If it was someone else who died, it would be fine for Yang Xu or the Yang family to help, but if Yang Xu helped the third house of the Qiu family, then it would be tantamount to supporting his wife and standing on the opposite side of Qiu Zongxi.

"I..." Yang Xu who was asked stuttered suddenly, his eyes were full of bewilderment and helplessness.

"It will take at least half a month for the news to reach Qianzhong Road. If Sanfang sends people over, it will take at least a month. Xiao Xu, you can think about it slowly." Qiu Zongxi didn't deliberately make things difficult for Yang Xu.

But even Qiu Zongxi, who is a leisurely cloud and wild crane, knows Sanfang's pissing nature very well. If he can use Qiu Jinyu's life to curry favor with Yang Xu, Sanfang will definitely use all means to fully use this favor. This is a burden that will never be shaken off in a lifetime.

However, Yang Xu's character is chivalrous and loyal. If he had Zhan Feiyu's determination and cold blood, Qiu Zongxi wouldn't have to worry about Yang Xu being bullied by the third room.

Fortunately, he is still young now, and it is not his turn to make decisions about the Yang family's affairs. Even if Sanfang wants to play tricks, he will have to wait ten years later.

Yang Xu nodded, he really had to think about it.

On the other side, the study of the Qiu Mansion.

"Old...teacher..." His voice stammered, and Zhan Feiyu hurried over after washing up, and when he entered the door, he thought he would see Yin Wuyan, but he didn't expect that the person sitting in the main seat was Gu Qingzhou who was far away in the capital.

Gu Qingzhou sat on the lower left side. If they were on weekdays, the two would be regarded as equals. But at this moment, if Yin Wuyan talked about seniority from Zhan Feiyu, Gu Qingzhou would naturally be the elder.

The master and apprentice haven't seen each other for more than a year. Zhan Feiyu has grown a little, but his facial features haven't changed much.

Of course, there is a poetic and bookish air in her belly, and the bookish air in her whole body has indeed become stronger. Now when she goes out, no one will believe that she comes from a rural farm family. This demeanor is more like a lady who has been carefully raised by an aristocratic family.

After being shocked, he was ecstatic and excited. Zhan Feiyu ran over with his short legs and saluted solemnly, "Teacher."

Gu Qingzhou can't be said to be slovenly, but he is wearing a cotton robe, with a smile on his clear face, "We master and apprentice don't need to be polite, sit down and talk."

He Sheng stood guard outside the door, and after He Nuan brought the tea, he quietly retreated to stand in the corner.

The master and the apprentice exchanged letters every three days, so Gu Qingzhou knew all about Zhan Feiyu's big and small affairs in Xiangwu County, and what he wanted to talk about at this moment was of course the barbarian army besieged Xiangwu County last night, and Zhan Feiyu later Yu took people to Aozikou to rescue Yang Xu.

Yang Xu's narration in the front yard was full of personal feelings, but Zhan Feiyu's narration at the moment was not mixed with any emotion, and just described what happened in Aozikou in detail.

Holding the teacup in one hand, the tea cover in Gu Qingzhou's hand gently stirred the floating tea leaves.

Even in Xiangwu County, this tea is a tribute from the palace, the tea is full of fragrance, it is indeed a rare treasure.

Gu Qingzhou glanced at Gu Qingzhou who sat down and started, he doted on this girl more than himself, and everything in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation was fine.

After drinking a cup of tea, Zhan Feiyu's narration was coming to an end. Gu Qingzhou put down the teacup and said slowly, "That means you risked yourself to save Yang Xu?"

Zhan Feiyu, who was standing and answering, froze.

Gu Qingzhou looked at the standing upright, seemed to be alert to Zhan Feiyu, who was not doing well, and said with a smile: "Prevent disasters first and not hurt later. Know and act cautiously. A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. You can wait and see."

"Teacher, I know I was wrong." Zhan Feiyu admitted his mistake extremely quickly, and glanced at Gu Qingzhou cautiously, only feeling the hairs on his back.

"You have nothing to worry about. After all, with me, the teacher who is a great scholar in the court, holding the token of the Forbidden Dragon Guard, not to mention Xiangwu County, even if you look at the entire Longyou Dao, no one would dare to lay hands on you." Gu Qingzhou The voice is clear and bright, like a mountain spring flowing in the forest, it is pleasant to the ear.

Ignoring Zhan Feiyu any more, Yin Wuyan looked down at Yin Wuyan with a smile, "Little girl is self-righteous, why are you letting her go like this?"

It was the first time Yin Wuyan was so angry when he learned from He Sheng that Zhan Feiyu left with Zhu Xiao in order to save Yang Xu.

Fortunately, Yang Xu was not in front of Yin Wuyan at that time, otherwise, even if Yin Wuyan wanted to kill him, he might break Yang Xu's ribs with a kick.

But when I saw Zhan Feiyu and saw the arrow wound on her cheek, I couldn't express that anger at all. The words "deep love and deep responsibility" are automatically invalid for Yin Wuyan.

Is the teacher encouraging the elder brother to beat him up?Zhan Feiyu's eyes widened suddenly, and he looked at Gu Qingzhou with a spring-like smile in disbelief, and instantly had the urge to run away.

But Gu Qingzhou just looked over at this moment, still smiling, but it made Zhan Feiyu frightened.

His voice stuttered again, Zhan Feiyu swallowed his saliva, and suppressed the panic in his heart, "Teacher, I know I was wrong. Ants are good at stealing life. I shouldn't take risks."

The situation in Aozikou at that time, not to mention Gu Xueshi's disciple, even if it was the son of the Holy Majesty, the people in the dark would kill you, no matter who you are or what background you are, just kill it.

Furthermore, Zhu Xiao was an unfathomable person. He let Yang Xu and Zhan Feiyu go, but he killed Qiu Jinyu cold-bloodedly. If he had murderous intentions at that time, Zhan Feiyu would have died.

Looking at Zhan Feiyu, who has a good attitude of admitting mistakes, Gu Qingzhou nodded in satisfaction, but changed the topic, "That day in Huai'an Mansion, if you were not lucky enough to meet Deng Zhiwu at the inn, if it wasn't for Wuyan who brought people over in time , the old man should go to the grave to burn some paper money for you today to celebrate the new year."

Teacher, is this going to settle accounts after autumn?Realizing this, Zhan Feiyu had a bitter face, but he didn't dare to defend himself.

"Knowing your mistakes can improve a lot, but now it seems that you have been taught repeatedly." Gu Qingzhou's voice sank suddenly, and for the first time he showed the posture of a strict teacher, "He Nuan, bring the ruler here."

The ruler in the study room was prepared by Qiu Zongxi, and it was used to beat Yang Xu on weekdays. To paraphrase Qiu Zongxi's words, since it is an elm head, a few more whippings will probably help him get better.

This time it was his turn to be beaten, Zhan Feiyu subconsciously shook hands, his fingertips were icy cold.

As soon as Zhan Feiyu returned to the Qiu Mansion, He Nuan was busy taking care of her to wash and wash, and then applied medicine to the wounds on her body, while the servants of the Qiu Mansion were busy with the food for the New Year's Eve dinner, so due to negligence, there was no room in the study room. People prepare charcoal basins.

After standing for a while, Zhan Feiyu felt cold. On a very cold day, Zhan Feiyu could imagine how painful it would be to draw a ruler to the palm of his hand.

He Nuan hesitated for a moment, but still didn't dare to disobey Gu Qingzhou's words, so he could only take the ruler beside the desk.

The ruler is made of high-quality ebony, more than a foot long and half a finger wide, and the whole body is black and shiny.

Yin Wuyan's phoenix eyes turned cold, and she wanted to stop her, but Gu Qingzhou spoke first.

"Wu Yan, you and He Nuan go out first." Gu Qingzhou looked at the ebony ruler in her hand, the little girl was too smart, that's why she dared to act so boldly.

Yin Wuyan didn't move, and so did He Nuan. Even though he knew he shouldn't hinder Gu Xueshi from teaching his disciples, he couldn't bear to look at Zhan Feiyu standing in front of him.

"Big brother, you go out first." Zhan Feiyu was firm and gave Yin Wuyan a reassuring smile.

After a while, the door of the study was opened and closed again, leaving only the master and apprentice in the study.

"Teacher." Zhan Feiyu stepped forward, obediently stretched out his left hand, palm facing up, and there were two scratches on the palm of his white and tender hand. Zhan Feiyu didn't know when he got hurt, didn't he When guarding the tower, it was after going to Aozikou.

Glancing at the ruler, Zhan Feiyu turned his head away and didn't dare to look at it.

The little girl will be discouraged now, looking delicate and afraid of pain, but when she thinks of her bold actions, Gu Qingzhou raises the ruler and hits it down heavily.

"Ah!" Knowing the pain but not knowing it would be so painful, Zhan Feiyu yelled, and subconsciously drew back his left hand. The pain in the palm made Zhan Feiyu's eyes turn red.

But after the pain was over, Zhan Feiyu stretched out his left hand again, and there was another snap.

Outside the study, Yin Wuyan, who has excellent hearing, heard the sound of the ruler and the sound of eating pain. Yin Wuyan's face was extremely gloomy. If he didn't rely on his strong self-control, Yin Wuyan would definitely rush in at this moment and bring Zhan Feiyu to him. Walk.

When the ten commandment ruler came down, Zhan Feiyu's left hand was already red and swollen, and the pain was severe. Not only the corners of his eyes were red, but his voice was choked up and crying, "Teacher, I know I was wrong."

Why doesn't Gu Qingzhou feel distressed? Seeing her hopeless appearance, he smiled angrily and said: "Afraid of pain and death, you still dare to save people?"

Looking at the red and swollen palms, even if they moved, Zhan Feiyu sniffed, "I'm not afraid of getting a knife when I'm in danger."

When fighting and fighting, God knows when you will be stabbed, and you will not be afraid of unknown dangers.

But being hit by Gu Qingzhou is different. Even if you don't look over your head, but Zhan Feiyu is scared when she thinks that the ruler will be lifted high and hit hard, let alone hit ten times in a row.

The door of the study was pushed open with a bang, Gu Qingzhou only felt a figure flash in front of him, but Yin Wuyan had already arrived in front of him.

Looking at Zhan Feiyu with red eyes and nose, and her appalling palm, Yin Wuyan spewed out anger while feeling distressed, and looked at Gu Qingzhou with murderous eyes.

He Nuan, who came in the last step, also looked at Zhan Feiyu with a distressed expression. No matter how dangerous it was before, even if she was injured, the lady had never cried. He Nuan can imagine how painful the ten-rule ruler was.

"Go and get the medicine." Gu Qingzhou coughed twice, knowing intellectually that he had done nothing wrong, but looking at Zhan Feiyu who was sobbing from time to time, he also felt distressed.

"Yes." He Nuan responded immediately, and quickly went to find the medicine.

Yin Wuyan's face was frosty, and he let Zhan Feiyu sit on the chair, holding Zhan Feiyu's left wrist with one hand, looking at the palm that was swollen half an inch high, and watching the redness gradually turn to purple, The chill in Yin Wuyan's body almost became substantive.

He Nuan went away faster and came back even faster. No matter how effective the ointment for reducing swelling and removing blood stasis was, the swelling in the palm of his hand would not go away within three to five days.

The pain is still painful, and it's not unbearable. Zhan Feiyu looked at Yin Wuyan who was carefully applying medicine to himself, and couldn't help but said, "Big brother, don't worry, I'm just afraid, and it doesn't hurt that much."

No matter how painful it is to hit the handboard, it will not hurt more than being stabbed. It is purely psychological. When she thinks that the ruler will be knocked down, she will not be scared first. Of course, the pain is really painful.

Yin Wuyan pursed her thin lips and did not speak. She glanced at Zhan Feiyu whose eyes were red but forced a smile on her face. She suddenly regretted leaving just now. Knowing that Gu Xueshi was so ruthless, how could she keep Xiaoyu here!
