The First Auxiliary Road from the Imperial Examination

Chapter 314 Clues

The small dispute ended with the spectator Lang Jun flicking his sleeves and leaving.

After returning, the gentlemen of Jiujiang Academy expressed that they would go to entertain them next time. The female students in their own academy are weak and easy to be bullied!
It's just that they thought very well, but the great Confucians of Arong refused to see the female students again, even if the academy where the former Qi girl studied refused their inspection, they did not force it.

Jiujiang Academy was on their no-show list.

The young gentlemen and young girls of Jiujiang Academy couldn't find the former great Confucians of the Qi Dynasty, so they went to those who watched the lively debates, and the debate became popular all of a sudden, and the reputation of the students of Jiujiang Academy who were argumentative and crazy spread.Since then, those who are more debated have rushed to Jiujiang Academy, while those who are less talkative have heard that Jiujiang Academy has changed color.

As a member of Jiujiang Academy, Sheng Yuan and his friends stayed away from the center of the trend, and they came to the suburbs of Beijing.

"Let's practice riding and archery today, and then we can follow Qiushou!"

When An Yu mentioned Qiushou, his facial features fluttered with excitement.

"Tomorrow, the students from the three academies participating in the autumn hunting will gather at the Zhuangzi in front. Shall we go there first to explore the way?" Lu Sheng has always been careful, and he has to be thorough before he can rest assured.

Sheng Yuan's round eyes inspected for a moment, then nodded: "Let's go and have a look."

Chengdong saw that the three children moved freely, so he could only lead the way with the guards from the three houses.

The Zhuangzi gathered this time is the property of Jiujiang Academy, and it is only two miles away.

There are six hot springs in Zhuangzi. The place is not too big, but it is far away from the mountains and forests, adjacent to the official road, and there are more than enough students from the three academies who arrange to participate in the autumn hunting.

The three of Sheng Yuan knocked on the door and entered. The guard at the door saw the badges on their college uniforms and immediately gave them a warm welcome.

The three of them walked around inside and saw that everyone was considerate in everything, but they just picked up food and accommodation to remind them, and they were about to leave.

"If you are tired of playing, girls, you can come here to take a rest. Bubble hot springs are especially refreshing." When the manager sent them out, he chatted casually, "Recently, the number of animals sent from nearby villages has decreased. Zhuangzi is very coordinated, otherwise, tomorrow will not be easy to explain to the Shanchang Supervisor."

Sheng Yuan knew that the Zhuangzi of Jiujiang Academy did not raise six animals, and usually ordered food from the surrounding villages. A while ago, they went to the southern suburbs to play, and met Mr. Academy on the way, and went to the academy to rest at the Zhuangzi there. mentioned this.

"Now there are no farms in the village? Didn't you say that there are many good breeders in the nearby villages?" The head of Lu Sheng's family praised the farmers here for their good skills.

"It is said that people from many villages have gone south to make money." The steward shook his head and sighed, "Life in the villages in Kyoto is good, not to mention food and clothing, but it is not difficult to have a full stomach and warm clothing. Why bother to leave home?"

"This is really interesting. I heard that people moved to work, but I also heard that people left their hometowns to be humble. I don't know which one is right, the spear or the shield as the old saying goes." An Yu was very curious.

"Haha, of course it's all right!" The manager laughed, "It's not a last resort, who would be happy to stay away from their homeland? It's difficult to do everything naturally because you don't know the place well outside.

But if it is difficult to make a living without property or work in my hometown, I naturally have to go out and try it out. As long as I survive, it doesn't matter whether it is difficult or not. "

After hearing this, An Yu couldn't understand: "Are there any people in Kyoto who can't survive?"

At the feet of the emperor, isn't it the most appropriate to live and work in peace and contentment?
"Our Great Chujing is very good. After all, there has been no war for hundreds of years. Most of the people have saved their families. Even if they don't have much, they can still live well."

"What about other places in Dachu?"

The steward smiled and shook his head: "Great Chu has a vast territory, and there are always differences."

Saying so, the three of Sheng Yuan came to the front door, bid farewell to the steward and prepared to leave for the path.

Just at this time, a group of villagers came quickly pushing a wooden cart loaded with livestock.

When passing by, Sheng Yuan turned his head back.

"Are you okay?" An Yu nudged her.

Sheng Yuan shook his head, just as he was about to speak, Lu Sheng also had a pensive expression.

"What's the matter?" An Yu saw the two of them staring at the dumb fans, and she couldn't understand it, so she suddenly became unhappy, "Can't you just say something straight?"

"Do you think there are many people practicing martial arts in the village?" Sheng Yuan thought he was making a fuss, so he simply asked him a question to think about.

An Yu shook her head sincerely, then looked at Lu Sheng again.

"Are there many people from the army in the nearby villages?"

When An Yu heard this, confusion gradually appeared on his face.

He didn't understand what his good friend meant.

"Someone is hoarding troops?" After finally thinking about what his friend meant, An Yu exclaimed, causing his friend to glare at him.

Can this be said? !

"Chengdong, take someone to take a look!" After An Yu exclaimed, her excited breath became much faster, "We will report to uncle after we investigate clearly!"

"Young lady, you should go back to Beijing first!" Cheng Dong was also excited, but considering that the main task was to protect the three little masters, he wanted to persuade them to return to Beijing first.

It's a pity that Lu Sheng and Sheng Yuan are reluctant to leave, not to mention An Yu who is already dreaming of adventure.

"Just look at it from a distance. If we don't get too close, how would they know?" Lu Sheng's eyes lit up, and the long knife at his waist seemed to be buzzing happily.

Sheng Yuan also felt the drumming in her heart, and the stimulation that only existed in history books appeared in front of her eyes, which made her ignore the caution in her subconscious:
"Since we agreed to go hunting, we just met those people again. They went to Zhuangzi to send off their animals. They couldn't talk about us. If they changed their plans rashly, it might arouse their suspicion."

She said this to provide An Yu and Lu Sheng with a more reasonable reason. They immediately talked to each other, flattered their horses excitedly, and kicked around in circles.

Chengdong looked at the three who hit it off with a headache, and he felt that the credit he might get was about to slip away.

"It's agreed to only check outside, but you must keep your word." Cheng Dong had no choice but to compromise, and could only arrange for his subordinates to protect him more comprehensively.

Seeing that Cheng Dong didn't stop them, Sheng Yuan and the others excitedly nodded vigorously, agreeing to Cheng Dong's conditions.

Isn't it just pretending to be a dude and running horses and hunting?This is not difficult for them at all.Not to mention pretending, it's not a problem to be a real dude for a while!
In the blink of an eye, Cheng Dong and the others watched the three little guys galloping away who wanted to join in the fun.

In an instant, he felt a series of laughter rushing towards his face, and the tension gradually dissipated.

Shengyuan and the others moved forward according to the topographic map of the suburbs of Beijing, passing through many small villages. Some of these villages were marked on the topographic map, while others had no trace.

"Sister Yuan, are you sure you remember correctly?" After sorting out the information, An Yu and Lu Sheng could not help but shudder when they saw the dozen or so additional villages.

Sheng Yuan raised his head in dissatisfaction, and said proudly: "You can question my arithmetic ability, but you can't question my memory!"
