Gong Xue has bandits

Chapter 73
The shadow of the moon was dancing, the lake was shimmering, and the night wind was blowing gently. A stone hit the water surface and bounced several times in a row, creating waves of ripples.

Luo Qiuchi's white clothes were flying, and while he was swimming in the water, he said casually: "Sure enough, I guessed that Hang Ruxue was suspicious. I didn't expect him to be there that night when I performed before the emperor, otherwise I would teach you the sword dance , I will definitely change a way so that he can't see it, but it's already like this now, so I can only stop showing him any flaws in the future, at least we already know his intentions, and he is in the clear again, so we can It's not too hard to guard against..."

Wen Renjun sat on a rock by the lake, his clear and beautiful face was full of worry: "Boss, Hang Ruxue is delicate in mind and strong in action. Even in the open, he is a very formidable opponent. I am worried that he will keep grabbing If you don't let him go, if you really find any conclusive evidence for him, then you..."

"Let's talk about it if he can produce solid evidence." Luo Qiuchi flew another stone casually, and the night wind brushed his hair. He said calmly, "At least for now, he can only stand still and wait for us to be in chaos. Let him show his feet, and the only thing we have to do is to do nothing, just be a good academy student, and everything will be as usual, but he has no way to do it, nothing to do."

Wen Renjun nodded, and sighed in the wind: "I can only take one step at a time, if General Hang can know the whole story of what happened in Qingzhou that day, shake hands with you, the boss, and turn the enemy into a friend... ..."

Luo Qiu hesitated, turned around holding the stone, slightly raised the corners of his lips at Wenrenjun, and smiled lowly: "Little monkey, have you heard a sentence? Since ancient times, officials and robbers have always been incompatible, turning enemies into friends." Such a thing is possible for Hang Ruxue and Luo Qiuchi, but it is delusional for Hang Ruxue and Luo Qiuchi."

"He eats the royal rations, takes the royal salary, and walks the route of being loyal to the emperor and protecting the country. He is branded as an official everywhere. How do you ask him to shake hands with a 'bandit'?"

Wen Renjun got a little anxious when he heard that, Yuexia got up and said: "But boss, you are not the kind of bandit who burns, kills and loots, you have done so many good deeds in Qingzhou, you robbed the rich and helped the poor, you fought against the Di clan, you are deeply loved by the people, Can't he even tell the difference between right and wrong, and distinguish you from those real villains?"

The righteous words and the slightly childish words successfully made Luo Qiuchi laugh. Looking at the innocent and kind girl under the moon, he couldn't help saying softly: "Little monkey, if everything in the world can be as you think It’s as simple as that.”

"Your world is either black or white. Good and bad are clearly and clearly distinguished, but in fact, this world is very complicated, and people are also complicated. There is no clear distinction between black and white, good and bad."

"Dongyi Mountain Lord is a person who is neither black nor white. He is in command of eighteen bandit villages, stepping on gray areas. It is true that he has done many good things, but he also has a lot of blood on his hands. Those who are right and wrong Straightforward, a few words can't make it clear, standing on Hang Ruxue's standpoint, he is doing what he thinks he should... Okay, let's not talk about it, you are doing well now, simple and simple, a girl's family Yes, it’s okay to be naive, I would rather you stay like this all the time, keep your clean and kind nature, and don’t need to be stained by the world.”

"After all, one Luo Heng is enough for a completely unrecognizable person..." Luo Qiuchi threw out the remaining stones in one go, brushed off his sleeves, turned sideways to Wen Renjun, and said with a casual smile, "Do you want to?" Come to celebrate being a teammate again, um, little senior sister?"

He stretched out his hand, Yue Xia's eyes shone like stars, and his face was indescribably handsome, Wen Renjun's heart jumped suddenly, she looked at him for a long time, stretched out her hand, and clenched it tightly For a moment, somehow he blurted out: "Will it last forever?"

"Huh?" Luo Qiuchi smiled and raised his eyebrows.

Wen Renjun's heart beat faster, she suppressed her breath and said, "I mean, will we always be teammates? Will we always stand together? Always..."

The charming smile in the white dress seemed to see through her heart at a glance: "Do you hope so?"

"I, I..." Wen Renjun blushed slightly and nodded.

"That will be as you wish." The white clothes fluttered, his brows smiled, and his big hand held the white and slender hand even tighter. He looked at her and said word by word: "I said, I won't Be the one who gets left behind first, and you don't want to be the one who gets left out first, you understand?"

As long as she doesn't leave, he won't give up.

The night breeze is as cool as a dream, the moon moves and the flowers and shadows move, the sky and the earth are quiet, only the sparkling lake reflects two figures who have been looking at each other for a long time.

Wen Renjun's heart was so warm that it was difficult to describe it, and she obviously wanted to say a thousand words, but it seemed that there was a force pushing her, causing her to ask in a strange way: "Then what will happen when Ahu comes back one day?"

As soon as the words came out, she regretted so much that she wished she could bite off her tongue.

Sure enough, the hand paused, her smile froze, and she slowly let go of her hand in the night wind.

Her whole heart sank little by little, but she heard the white robe turn around, facing the breeze and bright moon, and sighed quietly: "Ahu will not come back again."

"What if, what if I come back one day..." The girl under the moon trembled slightly on her shoulders, and her eyes turned red for no reason. She knew that she shouldn't ask any more questions, but she couldn't help it. She was stubborn from nowhere, as if she was determined to get an answer.

"Little monkey." Luo Qiuchi turned around and stared fixedly at the thin figure in the wind. The mist in his eyes was getting more and more misty. He couldn't help it anymore, and suddenly stretched out his hand and pulled her in. In his arms, he closed his eyes tightly: "If you are full of mountains and rivers and think about the distance, it is better to cherish the person in front of you."

He said in a low voice under the moon: "Little monkey, I said, I will never be the one who abandons you first."

In the library pavilion, the warm sun was slightly drunk, and a group of people sat around the table, carefully looking at the long scroll in their hands, with serious expressions.

Chen Yuanshou stood in front of the table, cleared his throat, and introduced: "The subjects of the competition between the two universities this time are divided into three parts: literature, martial arts, and technology. Wushu is divided into bowing, horsemanship, spearmanship, swordsmanship, and fighting, and skill is divided into six categories: piano, dancing, chess, painting, calligraphy, and cooking."

"Among them, 'cooking' is the most special item. Because Fusang lives near the sea, it is a small island country with very few products and limited types of ingredients. In the school, there is also a special class to teach the noble ladies to use rare ingredients to make delicious dishes. Among the students from the school who traveled across the ocean to Daliang for the competition this time, there are top chefs. It is said that I will specially bring local seafood here to cook the most characteristic delicacies of Fusang, and compare them with the delicious delicacies of Daliang.”

"Your Majesty specifically told me that the disciples of Zhuxiu Academy may not have an advantage in this aspect. They are all royal daughters. How have they ever washed their hands and made soup? But it is this item that is particularly important. Imagine that I have a vast land and abundant resources. The ingredients produced and the creatures conceived are comparable to a small Fusang? If we guard such a rich treasure house and lose to the poor Fusang people, we will really lose face and become the king of the Fusang country. It's a laughing stock."

"That's why, you must treat this item with the most rigorous attitude! Your Majesty said that during the period when you are preparing for the school competition, you will be given a special palace card, so that you can freely enter and leave the imperial dining room , learn all kinds of palace delicacies, and choose the "dishes for the challenge". If you want to use any ingredients, just say hello to the imperial dining room, even if you spend all your efforts, they will get them for you! But time is limited, you must prepare them before the competition. Those few dishes for the challenge have been mastered with proficiency, and they can be used freely, so that day they can..."

When Yuanshou Chen said this, he suddenly paused, glanced over the long table, and asked, "By the way, among the eight of you, who has ever cooked? Has held a spoon? Has some foundation, and knows a little knives and knives." of?"

There was silence in the attic. After all, this matter was of great importance, and no one dared to answer easily, but it was Sun Mengyin who suddenly grabbed Wen Renjun's hand next to him, and raised his hand: "President Chen, she will, Wen Renjun Ren Junhui! She used to cook for Junior Brother Luo to eat!"

All eyes looked at him instantly, Wen Renjun's face flushed slightly, and he said helplessly, "I, I'm also a half-baked cook, I learned from my mother..."

"Half cooking skills are knives and knives! That's you, and I'll share the cooking skills with you. Anyway, except for you, none of us know how to cook..."

Before Sun Meng's muttering was finished, the other hand was lazily raised. Luo Qiuchi raised a pair of beautiful eyebrows and slowly uttered five words: "I can also cook."

He looked at the surprised eyes of everyone, and raised the corner of his lips: "It's a bit unpalatable, but at least it won't kill anyone. After all, I haven't been poisoned to death by myself for so many years."

With a flick of white clothes, he stood up abruptly, pulled the Qingjun figure from Sun Mengyin's hand, faced Yuanshou Chen with a smile and said, "Why don't you let me and my young sister be in charge of cooking together, the courtyard What do you think first?"

Chen Yuanshou nodded, picked up a purple hair brush beside the table, and wrote the names of Luo Qiuchi and Wen Renjun in small seal characters behind the long scroll of cooking skills, saying: "Okay, this one is just for you two. One is mainly responsible, and the others work together.”

He picked up the long scroll, looked at the crowd and said, "In addition to the culinary arts, there are [-] other items. You can discuss it now and distribute them according to each person's strengths. We will probably send two people for each item. Each group is responsible for about four projects, and after each group has a main attack direction, it will start to prepare with all its strength, and the academy will also cooperate closely to ensure that this school competition is better than Fusang."

There are three big blocks on the long scroll, and the sixteen items are clearly listed——

Texts: policy theory, poems and prose, arithmetic, reasoning, and the classics of the earth.

Wu: Bow, Horse, Spear, Sword, Wrestling.

Skills: piano, dance, chess, painting, calligraphy, cooking.

With Luo Qiuchi and Wen Renjun "leading the charge", the most difficult part of cooking was taken away, and the remaining assignments became much easier.

Sun Mengyin took the eldest brother, took the lead to circle a few items and said: "We can focus on martial arts, such as bow, horse, spear, and sword. Dad has trained us since we were young. In the past palace school exams, we also They are all first-class results, this time the competition between the universities of the two countries, we brothers and sisters are of the same heart, believe it or not, we will not be able to overwhelm that little Fusang country!"

Chen Yuanshou caressed his beard and sighed: "I'm so ambitious, you two are really suitable for this one, so then..."

"Wait, head of the courtyard!" Sun Zuoyang said suddenly, he looked at Luo Qiuchi, and said sincerely: "Among us, Brother Luo's martial arts is the best, and my sister and I combined may not be one-tenth of his. He is..."

"Senior Brother Sun, don't be humble. My martial arts is wild and I have never undergone systematic training. This kind of bow and horse skills, the rules are cumbersome, and the judgment is complicated. You two are more familiar and understand. There is no advantage in fighting alone, and you are more suitable."

Luo Qiuchi responded with a faint smile, his expression free and easy, Sun Zuoyang stared at him blankly, his heart felt hot, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

In fact, of course he wanted to fight, to win glory for himself, for his family, for the Academy, and for Liang Liang, but he also took into account his own strength. Say something like this.

In fact, as Luo Qiuchi is concerned, he is a unicorn leader with both civil and military skills. He has such a great opportunity to show his strength. If he wants to show his face and show off, he can just slap the table and say, I will take care of all the projects. I don’t need any of you, anyway. I am strong in everything, and I am not afraid to pick Fusang alone.

But he didn't, not only didn't he, he also "give up" what he was good at, and tried his best to fight for others... Why was such a Luo Qiuchi considered rude and unrestrained by himself in the past?

Sun Zuoyang had mixed feelings in his heart for a moment, looking at that handsome face, his throat moved, but he couldn't say a word.

Chen Yuanshou thought about it for a while, and pondered: "You are all right. How about this? Bow, horse, spear, and sword are assigned to the Sun brothers and sisters. Fighting is a single-person event. Luo Qiuchi can use it to his full potential. The biggest advantage is his main attack. In fact, you don’t need to be too nervous. When it comes to the competition between the universities of the two countries, we can play flexibly according to the specific situation. All in all, this is a team thing. Cooperating with each other and adapting to changing circumstances will naturally achieve the best results.”

The big part of "Wu" has been divided in this way, and there are still ten items left in "Wen" and "Technology". Everyone's eyes turned to Fu Yuanzhi in unison.

Except for martial arts such as swords, guns, swords and halberds, he is outstanding in other aspects, on par with Luo Qiuchi, especially in the subject of arithmetic, he is even more talented, and the entire palace school can't match it.

At that moment, Fu Yuanzhi's thin lips moved slightly, seeing what everyone meant, and just as he was about to speak, Wen Renshu who was beside him had already said first: "Senior Brother Fu and I have too many things that we can focus on. As for the four items, the head of the hospital, you see..."

She circled a large area enthusiastically: "Senior Brother Fu is invincible in arithmetic, so naturally he will fight. He is also eloquent in his strategy and theory. In the Qushui Conference, Senior Brother Fu took the first place, and Senior Brother Fu and I came from famous families for the four arts of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and we have been immersed in them since we were young.

Before she could finish speaking, Luo Qiuchi had put his arms around his shoulders and sneered: "Miss Si, are you dead when you are Xiao Ji and Xiao He Miao?"

Wen Renshu's face changed, but Luo Qiuchi didn't give her any face, and said sarcastically: "Xiaoji's wonderful brush painting is the best in the city, and even the emperor is full of praise, don't you understand? When performing in front of the imperial court, the dance in the painting was amazing, it was more than a hundred times better than someone's dance on the drum, and it was obviously more sacred, if you don't believe me, ask everyone here?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Sun Zuoyang hastily boasted: "Yes, yes, the dance in the painting by Junior Sister Qinghe is really amazing. Not to mention..."

He praised so much that Zhao Qinghe's face turned red, and Ji Wenjing stood beside her, but said calmly: "Although Sun Zuoyang's words were a bit exaggerated, he was not wrong. Only in comparison with the second dance that night, they also brought a The word 'vulgar' means one is elegant and elegant, the other is soft and vulgar, they cannot be compared together at all, if you want to fight Fusang, anyone who is not blind will know how to choose?"

After the two words were spoken, Wen Renshu pinched her fingertips into the palm of her hand, and her expression turned extremely ugly.

But Sun Zuoyang was still excited and said: "Yes, yes, yes, what Ji Wenjing said is true. In terms of dancing skills, we must send Junior Sister Qinghe to fight!"

He used to be at odds with Ji Wenjing, and felt that his words were mean and disgusting, but today it was rare for him to be on the same front. He felt that every word he said was so beautiful, and every word he said was in his heart. He almost wanted to give him a high five. Congratulations!

Chen Yuanshou nodded thoughtfully, and took a pen to write down the corresponding name on the long scroll: "That's how the arrangement is, painting and dancing, plus calligraphy, will be divided equally between Ji Wenjing and Zhao Qinghe's group. Come attack."

Wen Renshu suffocated for breath, and in an instant, she was extremely embarrassed and unbelievable. When her beautiful face wanted to say something, Fu Yuanzhi next to her had already pulled her away, with no expression on his face, only his tone was cold cool way:
"The head of the school said before that the competition between the two universities is a team thing. Each team has to show their strengths and cooperate with each other. How can a team win multiple tasks? After all, time and energy are limited, and the division of labor and cooperation, specializing in directors It is a wise move, everything should follow the arrangement of the head of the hospital."

In his words, there was a hint of accusing Wen Renshu of being too greedy and disregarding the overall situation. Wen Renshu obviously understood, and her face turned pale, only then did she realize how stupid her previous actions were. She bit her lip, although she was not reconciled, But he didn't dare to do it again, he could only honestly lower his head beside Fu Yuanzhi, and the long nails dyed with Koudan sank deeply into the palm of his hand.

Chen Yuanshou nodded in satisfaction, and looked at Fu Yuanzhi and said, "Yuanzhi, except for arithmetic, which you are best at, you are also outstanding in all other subjects, so you can choose a few of them at will?"

Fu Yuanzhi nodded in agreement, looked at the long scroll, thought for a while, but mentioned the name "Wen Renjun" instead of himself.

He said loudly: "Junior Sister Wenren's talent and name are believed to be heard by everyone. Her poems and prose are vivid, eclectic, and full of interest. It can be said to be novel and outstanding, which is eye-catching. Compared with those who are stable and lifeless I don't know how much higher the realm is."

"In terms of chess skills, if I remember correctly, her chess skills seem to be ashamed of even the female teacher who taught her, praising her as the rebirth of a prodigy. If such a master chess player, we will put it aside and not use it to fight , Who else should I use?"

The two passages were both true, and they cleverly "raised" Wen Renjun a lot. Everyone present couldn't help but nodded in conviction, but Wen Renshu, who was beside Fu Yuanzhi, hung her head and bit her lips, unable to believe it. In my own ears, I dare not let the monstrous jealousy and resentment in my heart show at all.

Chen Yuan first wrote down his notes, nodded in satisfaction and said: "Well, the rest of the strategy theory, piano skills, and earth scriptures are all entrusted to you, plus arithmetic, your team will focus on these four aspects, No problem?"

Fu Yuanzhi said calmly, "Yes."

"By the way, I missed the reasoning..." Chen Yuanshou picked up his pen and muttered, looking up just in time to see Ji Wenjing's expression of impatience, as if he was dissatisfied with the discussion for so long, and just wanted to leave early.

His eyes lit up, and he thought of his straightforward refutation when he persuaded Ji Wenjing to perform in front of the imperial court, he couldn't help but said happily: "Come on, Ji Wenjing, the last class of reasoning is yours, your words are sharp, and your mouth is dead I can give you a lot of scolding, and to argue this matter, I really want to let you down!"
