Daxia Wensheng

In the government office.

Gu Jinnian really didn't expect that so many forces were involved behind this.

"Grandpa, with so many forces, what exactly are they going to do?"

"Besides, so many children have been drained of blood and become containers. Are they trying to sacrifice something?"

Gu Jinnian had his own guess. There were more than 7000 corpses in the Bailu Mansion. This was what he had seen, and there were probably [-] to [-] corpses that he couldn't see.

With such a terrifying number, Gu Jinnian would not believe it if he said he was practicing magic skills.

"It's possible."

"Your Majesty has already investigated this matter thoroughly in secret. If there is no accident, there will be a result soon."

"What you did in the Bailu Mansion just helped His Majesty start. Now that the whole world is paying attention to this matter, His Majesty can take a thunderous action."

"If there is any news, if His Majesty wants to tell you, he will naturally tell you, and you should leave this matter alone."

"Who is behind this has nothing to do with you. The sky is falling, and there is a tall man on top. Grandpa's generation is not dead yet, so it's not your turn."

The old man seemed to know some secrets, he said so, hoping that Gu Jinnian would not interfere with this matter.

This matter is very involved, and it is indeed not something that Gu Jinnian can intervene now. People of the older generation are all there, and if they have no choice, Gu Jinnian will not have anything to do.

"understood."

"Grandpa, when are you planning to set off?"

Gu Jinnian nodded, and at the same time looked at the old man curiously.

"Two days later, I will go to the barracks to order generals."

"Five days later, let's go on an expedition."

The old man calculated the time and gave this answer.

"So fast?"

Gu Jinnian was a little curious.

"Be quick, lest anything go wrong."

"Jinnian, grandpa still wants to remind you that no matter what happens when grandpa is going out this time, bear with it as much as you can. If anyone dares to trouble you, just remember his name."

"Grandpa is coming back this trip, and he should retire. Before retiring, Grandpa will help you sweep away all obstacles."

The old man spoke with a very calm sentence.

But Gu Jinnian could tell that the old man wanted to make a last-ditch effort.

Once the border is stabilized, the Great Xia Dynasty will completely enter its heyday, wars will hardly happen, and ZTE will begin.

Then the internal struggle will also reach a fever pitch, which is the last thing the old man can do for Gu Jinnian.

It would be a good thing for Gu Jinnian to wipe out all enemies, even if it was one for one.

This is the benefit of having a family to help.

"clear."

"The grandson wishes grandpa a successful start in advance."

Gu Jinnian didn't say much, the mission of soldiers is to protect their families and the country, especially famous generals like the old man.

Even though the Northern Expedition was dangerous, he would not stop it. Whether it was for the dynasty or the old man, the battlefield was what they cared about.

"Jinnian, remember, there are no permanent enemies in this world, only permanent interests."

The old man continued to speak, and at the same time took out some letters and placed them in front of Gu Jinnian.

"This is a letter from the four princes. I hope this matter will be reconciled. Grandpa, I have not agreed to it for the time being. But at a critical moment, if you need their help, you can resolve the grievances."

The letters in front of him are four of the eight kings.

I sent a letter privately, hoping the old man would forgive me.

Indeed, if their help is really needed, these four people will play a big role at critical moments. If they don't need their help, they will have a chance to clean up in the future.

It's like taking the initiative.

Gu Jinnian had some insights.

And the old man continued to speak.

"Okay, these few days you stay at home, accompany your mother, rest at home for two days, and return to the academy after two days."

"Also, after grandpa goes to the border, besides our own family, you must listen carefully to Mr. Wen Jing's words. He is the only person you can trust besides your own family."

"If you have any ideas, or have any ideas, you can ask him, and you don't need to hide it from him."

The old man continued talking and mentioned Su Wenjing.

"Mr. Wen Jing."

Gu Jinnian nodded, since the old man said so, then Gu Jinnian has nothing to say.

That's it.

For the past two days, Gu Jinnian has been staying at Gu's house.

Most of the time, I still accompany my mother. After all, so many things have happened, the one who loves me the most is my mother.

By the way, I also went to the palace and met my grandmother.

Yongsheng 13 years, January [-]st.

The entire Great Xia Dynasty seemed to be festive, and the arrival of the new year seemed to dilute everything, but the most festive day of the Great Xia Dynasty was February [-]th, which was the Chinese New Year.

January [-]st is a celebration day, but most of the people still have to prepare for the new year. On this day, a night banquet is enough.

Also on this day, three imperial edicts were promulgated in the palace.

An imperial decree was that Lord Zhen Guo went to the expedition, and he was named the General of the Northern Expedition, and he sent ten more Marquis, 33 generals to accompany the expedition, and led 50 troops, including [-] cavalry.

Soldiers were drawn from the three major military camps, and at the same time they had all the transfer orders in the northwest border. In other words, the old man not only took away the 50 troops of Daxia when he went out this time, but also took all the military power in the northwest border in his hands.

When necessary, the Shankui Army, King Qilin, and King Zhou's troops also needed to cooperate and dispatch.

This force is very strong, and it is nothing more than a master of the king.

The leader is Zhen Guogong.

Giving the people unlimited hope and self-confidence, the title of Duke Zhen is definitely not for nothing.

The second imperial decree is about the Bailu Mansion.

The emperor has an order to thoroughly investigate the Daxia Dynasty, the Xuandeng Division, the Zhenfu Division, the Criminal Ministry, Dali Temple, the Ministry of War, and the newly built Inspectorate to conduct a comprehensive investigation of the child theft case.

Strictly investigate, and if any officials are found to have concealed and failed to report, they will be dealt with decisively.

If any case of official negligence is found, he will be dismissed and investigated, and exiled to the ancient tower.

If it is found that there are more than 50 missing children a year in a prefecture, the local prefect will be dismissed and investigated, and will be executed after autumn.

The whistleblower can be rewarded with a maximum of one thousand taels of silver and [-] acres of fertile land.

At the same time, if anyone knows the case, they can go straight to the capital and report to the Procuratorate alone, and all the memorials will be heard by the heavens, and the lawbreakers will be severely punished.

This second imperial decree is just one word in the eyes of everyone.

ruthless.

extremely ruthless.

The Xuandeng Division, the Town Government Division, the Procuratorate, the Ministry of Punishment, the Ministry of War, and the Dali Temple are conducting thorough investigations by six completely separate agencies, which greatly reduces mutual protection.

The more departments there are, the more complicated things will be. If you want to protect yourself, it is very difficult. It means that you have to talk to the other five departments to protect yourself. As long as one department thinks there is a problem or feels inappropriate, then this matter will Can't do it.

Secondly, His Majesty obviously attaches great importance to this matter, even the people of Great Xia attach great importance to it.

Which of the six departments doesn't want to rush to solve the case?Who doesn't want to be loved by the people?Especially the Procuratorate, which is a new authority. Compared with these five departments, the qualifications are definitely not comparable, so it is natural to make some contributions.

Otherwise, how will we gain a foothold in the future?

It could be seen that Emperor Yongsheng was serious about it, under the watchful eyes of everyone, no one dared to play tricks on it.

Whoever plays will die.

As for the third imperial decree, it was about Gu Jinnian. It first reprimanded, then praised Wanmin, and then returned to the essence.

It is nothing more than that, in this matter, Gu Jinnian made a mistake, and it was a big mistake. The people were not wrong. Gu Jinnian was established as the inspector and commander, a fourth-rank official, and did not belong to any organization.

Set up a separate inspection team. In the future, Gu Jinnian is not allowed to mess with anything. He does not have the power to kill first and act later, but he has the power to go up to the heavens. Moreover, the six departments must deal with Gu Jinnian's inspection within three days.

No matter what way to deal with it, it is up to the emperor to decide, but it must cooperate with Gu Jinnian.

It seems like nothing, but in fact this is the 'right to draft'. After this edict was issued, all civil and military officials were silent.

This power is no worse than beheading and playing later. In other words, officials from all over the world should be careful when they see Gu Jinnian in the future.

I really offended Gu Jinnian, so I will write you a small report, read the six books, no matter whether there is any mistake, you must send someone to investigate, yes, be diligent, if there is a mistake, you will die.

This is more disgusting than Yushi.

But no one dared to say anything, the imperial decree was issued, no one dared to provoke Gu Jinnian.

After the decree was issued.

Some departments have also started to work.

Externally, it was the Northern Expedition.

It is a thorough investigation of the matter internally.

And just today.

Two figures also appeared in Gu's house.

It was Xu Jin and Wang Peng.

Gu Jinnian was a little surprised. After learning that Xu Jin and Wang Peng had come to Gu's house, he immediately went to greet them.

On the day of the execution ground, Xu Jin and Wang Peng brought themselves the list of thousands of people from the Shankui Army, and Gu Jinnian kept this kindness in his heart.

Meet the two in person.

The two of them smiled silly, and after entering the Duke's Mansion, they couldn't help admiring the style again and again.

"Two generals, are you planning to go back?"

After arriving at the lobby, Gu Jinnian opened his mouth and asked the two of them what they wanted to do.

At the same time, let the servants prepare the first-class tea.

Hearing this, Xu Jin and Wang Peng were a little embarrassed, but they glanced at each other, feeling a little hesitant to speak.

"On the day of the execution ground, the two of you brought me the book of ten thousand people. Gu is very grateful. If you have any needs, just speak up."

"As long as Gu can do it, he will do his best."

Gu Jinnian didn't know what they wanted to say, but he hesitated to say something, obviously he was asking for something, so he made a promise directly.

As soon as he said this, Wang Peng stopped talking.

"His Royal Highness."

"The matter of Bailu Mansion."

"Brother Xu and I both admire His Highness's actions. The two of us are rough men. To put it in a harsh way, we are rough men."

"But I really admire what His Highness has done, not only the two of us, but also hundreds of our brothers, all admire His Highness."

"Thinking that His Royal Highness is about to become a Marquis, someone must help and do some dirty work."

"Brother Xu and I are willing to stand up for His Royal Highness, because we are afraid that His Royal Highness will dislike us two for being clumsy."

When Wang Peng spoke, he stuttered at the beginning, but afterward, he was sincere and willing to follow Gu Jinnian.

As soon as this remark came out, Xu Jin immediately half-knelt down.

"His Royal Highness, the general is stupid and doesn't know what to say. What brother Wang Peng said is exactly what the general is thinking."

"As long as His Royal Highness does not dislike him, the last general is willing to be His Royal Highness, and there will be no complaints."

Xu Jin spoke.

There was firmness in his eyes.

The two of them didn't tell a single lie. Regarding the matter of the Bailu Mansion, Gu Jinnian killed decisively, pleaded for the people, and dared to act. He was not like that kind of sour scholar, but a general.

To put it bluntly, Gu Jinnian conquered the two of them with his charisma.

Otherwise, the two of them would not have tried their best to get a joint roster for Gu Jinnian in the Shankui Army.

He really admires Gu Jinnian, and if he wants to follow Gu Jinnian, especially since Gu Jinnian is about to become a Marquis, he can have soldiers accompanying him.

The two were partial generals in Shan Kui-jun, and after following Gu Jinnian, all boats will rise naturally. Of course, the most important thing is that Gu Jinnian convinced them, which made them both deeply admire.

Hearing the two speak, Gu Jinnian was overjoyed.

Xu Jin and Wang Peng are not ordinary people. The existences mixed in the barracks are all the existences that have killed countless people on the battlefield.

Moreover, he was decisive in killing, as he could see when he was in Bailu Mansion, he was definitely not the kind of sad and indecisive person.

This is a good general.

Didn't expect to be willing to follow me?This is what Gu Jinnian did not expect.

"So good."

"The two of you actually have such intentions, Gu is really moved."

When Gu Jinnian got up, he was a little happy, and he didn't need to hide this joy in his heart, so he directly helped the two of them up.

As Gu Jinnian opened his mouth, the two also showed joy. They were really worried that Gu Jinnian would look down on the two of them.

After all, Gu Jinnian is the top dignitary in Daxia, and his grandfather is the Duke of Zhen. If he really wants to arrange some people as his subordinates, there are countless people in the barracks who are stronger than the two of them.

For a while, the two were also flattered.

"It is an honor for the last general to be able to follow the son."

The two spoke, looking extremely excited.

"It is a great joy in life for Gu to get the support of the two of you."

"However, Gu hasn't been made a Marquis yet, so it's not good to put him in directly. The two of you will enter Gu's house first, put them under my father's name, wait for Gu to be named Marquis, and then transfer back, how about it?"

When Gu Jinnian spoke up, it was indeed a good thing for these two people to take the initiative to follow.

The old man has many soldiers under his command. If he really wants to transfer, he can indeed transfer some stronger men, but the problem is that these people come to follow him out of the old man's face.

Unlike Xu Jin and Wang Peng, who actively follow and can become their own people.

"His Royal Highness can arrange it."

Xu Jin was a little excited and didn't know what to say.

"His Royal Highness, do you want other brothers to be counted together? If His Royal Highness has any concerns, then we will let them go back."

Wang Peng said.

"Do not."

Gu Jinnian shook his head.

"Don't use people who are suspicious, don't use people with suspicion."

"The two generals have a sincere heart, and this son has no doubts."

Gu Jinnian spoke out, giving the two of them the greatest trust.

Indeed, such trust made the two of them cry a little, and then Gu Jinnian asked the specific personnel, and then asked the servants in the mansion to go to the Ministry of War to apply for a transfer order.

Xu Jin and Wang Peng each brought 250 troops, adding up to 500 troops.

They are all trustworthy brothers.

If the Marquis of Daxia has no military power, he can raise [-] to [-] soldiers, and there is no big problem in terms of numbers.

However, Gu Jinnian didn't hesitate, and directly took out a bank note with a face value of 5000 taels of gold.

Equivalent to 50 copper coins.

"Since you have followed me, you will not treat your brothers badly."

"This money is given to the brothers to spend during this period of time. All food and lodging can be done in the Duke's mansion. Tell the brothers that in addition to the salary of the imperial court, this son will be subsidized by 30 taels of silver per month in the future."

"You two, get an extra 200 taels per month."

"When the Hou's Mansion is built, just go live in the Hou's Mansion."

Gu Jinnian spoke out, and the other party was willing to follow him, so he couldn't be stingy.

5000 taels of gold is considered as the first gift, and then an additional subsidy of 30 taels of silver will be added.

It seems unremarkable, 500 people are a subsidy of 5000 taels of silver, which is 15 taels of silver in a year.

Think about it again, how much do some other princes spend in a year?

But this is inevitable.

The sincerity is the first, but the interests are more important, no matter how big the picture is, it is better to give money.

"Thank you, Your Highness."

The two of them didn't talk too much, the money was just used to buy people's hearts, if they didn't accept it, there would be problems.

And Gu Jinnian also explained that they just need to stay in Zhen Guo Gongfu during this period, and when the official documents are completed, Gu Jinnian will come to them if necessary, and now they are familiar with some things.

By the way, Gu Jinnian wrote a letter to the two of them.

"Xu Jin, Wang Peng, during this period of time you are playing around in the capital, it's considered relaxing."

"But you have to observe some things carefully. The letter is very clear. Write down the things and sort them out for this son."

Gu Jinnian said that he really needed the two of them to do something.

It was originally intended to be done by people from the Duke's Mansion, but now that we have our own people, it is more convenient to use.

"Please don't worry, my son, the general will definitely deal with it seriously."

The two clasped their hands, appearing extremely respectful.

"Okay, sorry to bother you."

Gu Jinnian is not long-winded, and knows some ways to control people.

Soon, Xu Jin and Wang Peng left the Duke's Mansion to go through some formalities, as well as housing and other issues, all of which they wanted to solve.

After the two left, Gu Jinnian couldn't help but let out a long breath.

This feeling of being in charge.

Inexplicably a little comfortable.

No wonder everyone in ancient times wanted to be an official, it was really cool.

However, it is true that money is spent, so I must build an elite army with strong execution and strength, so that this kind of thing will not happen again, and no one will listen to me.

It is better to take three thousand elite cavalry to work in other places. If anyone refuses to accept it, he will be killed on the spot, which is better than deploying troops by himself.

In doing so, at most, it would be to cut first and then play, which is a bit of overreach.

Much lighter than deploying troops.

Very good, very cool.

in this way.

The next day.

Gu Jinnian stayed at home for a few days and is leaving today.

Back to Daxia Academy.

After bidding farewell to his mother, Gu Jinnian left the Gu family.

It's just that on the way back to the academy, before taking a few steps, a familiar figure appeared.

It was Su Huaiyu.

"His Royal Highness."

"Senior asked me to bring you a message."

Su Huaiyu looked mysterious and pulled Gu Jinnian into the street.

"what?"

Gu Jinnian didn't expect Su Huaiyu to appear suddenly, especially when he said this weird sentence, he couldn't understand it.

What do you mean?
Su Huaiyu ignored Gu Jinnian's doubts, but said in a low voice.

"This is the ancient order of the senior. He said that if you encounter any trouble in the future, you only need to crush this ancient order, and he will arrive within ten breaths."

"Three ancient orders represent three chances. If you run out of them, you must worship him as your teacher. Otherwise, the consequences will be very serious."

Su Huaiyu was extremely serious, and she no longer had the usual sense of jokes.

"What senior?"

"Brother Su, speak clearly."

Gu Jinnian is a little confused, this Su Huaiyu has always been a traitor, and Gu Jinnian is not that kind of pedantic person, but the problem is that you should make it clear.

"Do you remember that demonic powerhouse?"

Su Huaiyu made a sound, looking a little nervous.

"A strong demon?"

Gu Jinnian frowned slightly, to be honest, he remembered, and he was very impressed.

"When you were imprisoned, this senior demon came to Daxia Capital. If His Majesty still wanted to kill you that day, he would directly rob the court."

Su Huaiyu spoke lightly, telling Gu Jinnian the ins and outs.

"The robbery field? Hiss!"

Gu Jinnian was shocked at first, but then couldn't help being curious.

"Although he is strong, there are so many strong people in Kyoto. Even if he has the ability to escape, he still needs a map of Kyoto. Otherwise, it will be very troublesome to forcibly rob the magic field."

Gu Jinnian frowned. He knew this peerless powerhouse, and he could understand the tribulation field, but the problem was that there was no map, so it was a bit difficult to directly intercept the field. After all, this was the capital of Daxia, and there was a Daxia formation.

Must have a map.

Glancing at Su Huaiyu, the latter didn't speak, Gu Jinnian immediately understood.

Good guy, as expected of you.

The map of Kyoto, you can give it if you say it, you are really the first surrender faction
"Do you dare to do this kind of thing? Are you not afraid that the court will hold you accountable and cause trouble for you?"

Gu Jinnian couldn't help but speak out, feeling that Su Huaiyu was really fierce, he seemed to be acting out of control, but at least he could think carefully, step by step, what could be done and what could not be done, Gu Jinnian still had a scale in his heart.

This Su Huaiyu is a little fierce.

But after saying this, looking at Su Huaiyu again, the latter was silent, but Gu Jinnian also understood instantly.

Good guy.

Good guy.

This guy eats both ends, I'm afraid he contacted the emperor immediately.

One word.

absolutely.

"Aren't you afraid of accidents?"

Gu Jinnian felt a little helpless. It's good to eat both ends, but wouldn't it be troublesome if someone from the evil way found out?
After accepting these three ancient orders, Gu Jinnian also made up his mind.

After using three of them, one must worship him as a teacher, so wouldn't it be enough to use two of them?

Whoring twice for nothing, earning blood.

However, when Gu Jinnian said this, Su Huaiyu felt a little uncomfortable.

"It was discovered."

"Senior asked me to bring you a message."

"If you run out of these three ancient orders, you can go directly to apprentice."

"If it is not used up within ten years, he will kill me."

Su Huaiyu wanted to cry but had no tears.

"What did you kill you for?"

Gu Jinnian was a little confused?
"Senior means that you value love and righteousness, and you will definitely not see your siblings killed."

"His Royal Highness, how about this, wait until the ninth year, you feel wronged, and worship him as a teacher, Su Mou has seen countless people, this person is very strong, and his strength is extraordinary."

"If you worship him as your teacher, you will definitely become a master."

Su Huaiyu was honest and told the truth.

"okay."

"Nine years, this time is too long, let's talk about it later."

"Brother Su, what was the result of the matter that you were asked to investigate earlier?"

Gu Jinnian hooked Su Huaiyu's shoulders, walked towards the academy, and asked about these things at the same time.

However, Su Huaiyu stretched out his hand to pull Gu Jinnian's hooked shoulders, looking a little indifferent.

"His Royal Highness."

"Su doesn't care about other things. It's better to do as little as possible between men."

Su Huaiyu was very indifferent.

"Can't you hook your shoulders and hang your back?"

Gu Jinnian is getting a little angry, this guy is sick, right?

"First of all, the inspection is strict."

"Secondly, so many people look at you every day, and you will be misunderstood if you hang your shoulders like this."

"After all, what if there are female fans?"

Su Huaiyu was very indifferent, and began to lose his nerve again.

Gu Jinnian is also used to it, this guy has a problem with his brain, and sometimes he likes to talk about some inexplicable things.

But it's normal, after being in prison, Gu Jinnian also deeply understands how sour it is to be in prison.

This is still to concentrate on enlightenment. If you can't concentrate, it's normal to go crazy.

Moreover, Su Huaiyu's prison life must be worse than her own, so it is reasonable to be a little neurotic.

"How are things?"

Gu Jinnian continued to ask.

"Your Majesty is already conducting a thorough investigation, and it is inconvenient for me to investigate many things."

"But maybe I know something."

"Maybe someone is refining the Nine Great Evil Weapons."

Su Huaiyu spoke out and gave an answer.

"Nine Great Evil Weapons?"

Gu Jinnian was a little curious.

"Confucianism and Taoism have nine sacred weapons, and naturally crooked ways also have nine evil weapons."

"There is an evil weapon called human desire. This evil weapon needs to be fed by human essence and blood. Once sacrificed, it can make people's desire infinitely stronger and become a killing tool."

"If you use it well, you will have unparalleled power in war. You might as well imagine that you lead ten thousand elites and face ten thousand ordinary people, but these people are dying. They don't feel pain. They only know how to kill. .”

"What are your chances of winning?"

Su Huaiyu revealed the power of the nine evil weapons.

"There is a high probability of winning, but there must be a painful price to pay."

Gu Jinnian looked serious.

Ten thousand elites are strong, but it is different when they meet desperate people, although they may still win in the end.

The price to be paid must be high.

The most important thing in war is morale.

Morale is low, [-] can't beat other people's [-].

The morale is high, and it is possible to kill [-] and [-].

This human desire is really terrifying.

"But why use the blood of the common people of Daxia?"

"Not to mention the high cost, and once it is discovered, it will cause some trouble."

However, Gu Jinnian raised doubts again.

This setting can be accepted, but why use the blood of the people of Daxia?This is somewhat unreasonable.

After all, Daxia's population is not the largest.

The population of the Dajin Dynasty is more than twice that of the Daxia Dynasty, and there are also many Fuluo Dynasty, and the Fuluo Dynasty is on an island, and there are hundreds of small islands around it.

In addition, there are many nomads in the north, but why did they choose Daxia?

"This is also where I am puzzled."

"I don't know exactly how, I just have to wait for His Majesty to investigate."

Su Huaiyu shook his head, he was not clear about this matter.

"kindness."

Gu Jinnian has nothing to say, what should be done has already been done, and some things can only be investigated by the higher-ups.

in this way.

The two walked forward together, and after more than half an hour, they came to the academy.

Inside the academy.

There were already lights and festoons, all waiting for Gu Jinnian.

Old rules.

Wang Fugui bought some good wine again, and when he learned that Gu Jinnian was going back to the academy today, he immediately asked the dining room of the academy to make a table of banquets, all of which were waiting for Gu Jinnian.

Wait to come to the academy.

All the students appeared together, including many masters and scholars from the academy. They all had smiles on their faces, and after Gu Jinnian appeared, they bowed deeply to him.

"The world is eternal."

Everyone bowed and shouted from the bottom of their hearts.

Gu Jinnian's deeds made everyone in the world admire him, and the students of Daxia Academy naturally admired him even more.

"Everyone is serious."

Faced with the crowd's bowing, Gu Jinnian also responded with courtesy.

"Brother Gu."

"The banquet is ready, so I will not return home today without getting drunk."

Wang Fugui walked over quickly, pulled Gu Jinnian and said excitedly.

"Brother Wang, it really hurts a few of you to go this time."

Seeing Wang Fugui, Gu Jinnian couldn't help but make a noise. After all, Wang Fugui was sent by him to investigate the case. He didn't expect to be detained for a while and suffered a serious crime.

"Brother Gu, you are the one who has really suffered, and my waiting is nothing."

"Walk, go, drink, drink."

Wang Fugui was extremely enthusiastic and dragged Gu Jinnian to drink.

Faced with Wang Fugui's behavior, Gu Jinnian also smiled, and followed the crowd to drink.

To the dining room.

Everyone sat down together, and before it even started, everyone started toasting one after another, even some masters and great scholars toasted to Gu Jinnian one after another.

"A gentleman is for the people, and his heart is for the common people. Jinnian, Jinnian, I have lived for decades, and I have never seen a person like you. You are born and powerful, but you have no bad habits. You speak out for the people, and you don't hesitate to test yourself. Dangerous, the old man admires, admires."

A master came with wine and praised Gu Jinnian's actions.

He drank it in one gulp.

Soon a great Confucian came over, first sighed, and then praised.

"Jinnian, you have done things that are difficult for us to do. You are not afraid of power and have a heart for the common people. This is the way of a gentleman. Compared with you, a great Confucian like me, I am ashamed."

"I fined myself three cups."

The Great Confucianism opened his mouth, and between speaking, he drank three more cups to show his respect.

It has to be said that what Gu Jinnian did has spread throughout the Great Xia Dynasty, and even in the Eastern Wasteland, no one knows about it.

There are very few people who can plead for the common people, and it is even rarer to try their own lives.

If Gu Jinnian was from a poor family, that would be fine.

But Gu Jinnian is a powerful person, so he would risk his bright future and offend a group of powerful people. This kind of quality is truly valuable.

It is also admirable.

Several people took turns toasting.

Gu Jinnian just took a sip, there's nothing he can do, there are two or three hundred people, you take a cup and I take a cup, if you deal with it all, I'm afraid I'll lose consciousness.

At this moment, a voice sounded.

"I just said where did the smell of wine come from, it turned out to be here."

"Okay, you don't call me here for drinking? Treat me as an outsider, right?"

The voice sounded, it was Yao Yunrou's.

She was very straightforward, walked into the dining room, sat down directly beside Gu Jinnian, then picked up the flagon and drank it in one gulp, looking very heroic.

Yao Yunrou is addicted to alcohol, everyone knows this, she is so direct and bold, some people don't know what to say.

"Fairy Yunrou, it's not that I don't call you, the main reason is that I can't find you."

Wang Fugui immediately explained, fearing that Yao Yunrou might misunderstand.

"Oh, it seems that I misunderstood you."

"That's fine, I'll punish myself with three pots."

Yao Yunrou opened his mouth, but he was indeed not angry, then picked up three jugs and drank them.

This amount of alcohol surprised everyone.

At this time, Fairy Yaochi also came.

Fairy Yaochi attracts everyone's attention. After all, everyone is a scholar, although they like Yao Yunrou from the bottom of their hearts.

But on the surface, the Yaochi fairy is more suitable for everyone, after all, she is gentle and gentle, and everyone is a lady.

Compared with everyone's choices, Gu Jinnian is much more straightforward.

Only children make choices, and he wants them all.

Fairy Yaochi came to the dining room and sat directly on Gu Jinnian's left. Wang Fugui gave up his seat tactfully, and Fairy Yaochi poured herself a glass of wine for the first time ever.

"Senior Brother Gu, Yao Chi respects you."

Fairy Yaochi opened her mouth, and drank the wine in the cup while speaking.

"The fairy is polite."

Gu Jinnian also raised his glass in response.

But the rest of the time was much easier. Everyone toasted to Gu Jinnian, and Fairy Yunrou blocked Gu Jinnian.

With wine, Fairy Yunrou is obviously much happier.

Gu Jinnian, on the other hand, chatted with everyone about the affairs of Bailu Mansion, and put aside some angry words from everyone.

Gu Jinnian also learned about the experiences of Wang Fugui and Jiang Yezhou.

After the few of them went to the Bailu mansion, they were actually discovered the next day, but the mansion lord Xu Ping was very cunning and did not stop them, so he hoped that they would return without success.

Unexpectedly, at the critical moment, Jiang Yezhou discovered a suspicious point. Before these children disappeared, they all went to Qingyuan Temple.

So a few people went to Qingyuan Temple and found something was wrong, thanks to Wang Fugui.

After all, Wang Fugui's family was in business and would hide silver in the cellar, so he checked Qingyuan Temple and found something wrong.

But when the problem was discovered, the person was arrested and locked up in the back mountain.

Simply, Gu Jinnian saved them at a critical moment, otherwise, they would have starved to death.

The people in Bailu Mansion also knew that they were of extraordinary status, so they didn't dare to beat them, so they could only imprison them, and gave them some leaves and wild fruits every day, which was not much.

It's not to show mercy, but to create the illusion that several people are lost in the mountains and starved to death.

At that time, Wu Zuo opened his stomach and found that the stomach was full of leaves and wild fruits, so he could sit firmly.

It just takes a long time.

Otherwise, they would have died long ago.

When it comes to this matter, several people are still a little scared, but fortunately, the final result is good.

"Thanks to Brother Wang's cleverness, he told the people below that if he disappears, he will immediately send a wordless letter back."

"If there is His Royal Highness, be vigilant at all times, otherwise, I will be waiting for the real danger."

Jiang Yezhou made a sound, feeling a little emotional.

"It's still my problem. If I go there in person, maybe there won't be so many things."

Gu Jinnian spoke.

"His Royal Highness speaks seriously."

The crowd opened their mouths.

The topic was a bit heavy, Wang Fugui immediately picked up his wine glass to ease the atmosphere.

At this moment, a book boy walked in.

"His Royal Highness, the dean invites you."

Hearing this, everyone was a little curious, but they didn't say anything, and Gu Jinnian got up without any fuss.

After a while.

Gu Jinnian came to the study.

Regarding Su Wenjing, Gu Jinnian knew very well that he must know what happened in Bailu Mansion, otherwise it would be impossible to find a case for everyone to investigate.

This incident can be said to be planned by Mr. Wen Jing.

It's just that I have done some things, which are beyond the expected range of Mr. Wen Jing.

But I have to say, Mr. Wen Jing is still amazing.

"Student Gu Jinnian, met Mr. Wen Jing."

Outside the study, Gu Jinnian called out.

"Enter."

Mr. Wen Jing spoke lightly.

At that moment, when Gu Jinnian walked into the study, he saw that Mr. Wen Jing was still playing chess.

At the same time, he was watching a chess book.

"Sir, why have you been learning how to play chess recently?"

Seeing Su Wenjing with a serious face, Gu Jinnian was also straightforward, sitting down in front of him, and asked.

"Jixia Academy is about to start."

"This old man has a big vengeance. He is in Jixia Academy. He is very good at chess. This old man studied hard for three years and achieved something. I plan to teach him a lesson."

Su Wenjing made a faint sound.

"Sir, do you still have enemies?"

"who is it?"

Gu Jinnian was a little curious, a dignified semi-saint, yet he still has an enemy?
"This old man has many enemies."

"But it's not a big grudge."

"This person's name is Duan Kong."

Su Wenjing replied.

"Duan Kong? Eastern Desolation Chess King?"

Gu Jinnian said the other party's name.

Go is extremely popular in Shenzhou, and anyone who is a scholar or not can understand it. For some Confucians, playing chess can exercise wisdom and give them a sense of accomplishment, so Go has become a game for people to play after meals.

Duan Kong has a great background, the Eastern Wilderness Chess King, who started his career with chess, is not an ordinary person.

Moreover, the battle of literati is not just as simple as poetry, painting and chess have attracted the attention of many people.

"kindness."

Su Wenjing was very indifferent.

"How did he provoke Mr.?"

Gu Jinnian was very curious.

"He used my name to go to the brothel and sully my innocence."

Su Wenjing made a faint sound.

Gu Jinnian: "."

ah. this.

"That does have some problems."

"However, the clean is cleared, sir."

Gu Jinnian didn't know how to answer.

But Su Wenjing raised his head, looked at Gu Jinnian and said.

"Do not."

"I don't blame him for going to the brothel, the main reason is that he spends money every time."

"And it's a big deal."

"As a result, when the old man went to the brothel to play, he couldn't get any money and was reported."

Su Wenjing was serious.

Gu Jinnian was completely speechless.

Ma De, the relationship is because you can't go whoring for nothing?
"Sir, what do you want me to do?"

After being stunned for a while, Gu Jinnian didn't want to talk about these topics, but asked if there was anything else.

Hearing this, Su Wenjing put down the chess pieces in his hand.

stood up and said.

"Jinnian, you need to speak up quickly."

He spoke, looking a little serious.

"Li Yan?"

Gu Jinnian did not expect that Su Wenjing came here for this matter.

"Know the sage and make the words."

"Step into the third realm of Confucianism and Taoism."

"I want to take you to Jixia Academy to participate in the academic competition."

Su Wenjing spoke up and told the reason.

Jixia Academy?

Academic dispute?

Looking back at Jinnian, he was even more puzzled.

"Jixia Academy this time contains destiny, and there are at least two ways."

"And there is a secret hidden in Jixia Academy."

"It must be contested."

Su Wenjing looked serious.

"There are two destiny?"

Gu Jinnian was a little startled.
