Fighter of the Destiny

Zhou Ziheng stood there, somewhat unresponsive.

He originally thought that today the National Education Academy would still try to delay it like it did a few days ago, and then think about how to face its own challenges - for example, the National Education Academy might invite His Highness Luoluo from the palace, in which case of course he would They could only admit defeat or avoid the fight, but the Tianhai family had made plans for this. If the National Education Academy really asked His Highness Luoluo to come forward, the Tianhai family would definitely use this to cause a bigger storm - but he never expected that Chen Changsheng would actually agree. .

After a while, he really came to his senses, looked at Chen Changsheng with a solemn expression and asked: "Who will fight in the National Education Academy?"

Chen Changsheng said: "Me."

When he said the word "I", he didn't pause, nor did he think about it, which seemed very natural.

Yes, he is the dean of the National Education College. When the National Education College is challenged, of course he should face it.

Zhou Ziheng suddenly discovered that Chen Changsheng today was different in some places compared to the previous two days, but he didn't know exactly where the changes had occurred.

"Very good." He looked at Chen Changsheng and asked, "Since the time has been set, can it be done anywhere?"

Chen Changsheng said: "According to the details in the proposal of the two Holy Church Archbishops, since the time is determined by our Anglican Academy, the location will naturally be determined by the priest."

Zhou Ziheng looked at the dark crowd outside Baihua Lane and said expressionlessly: "Since so many people have come, we might as well stay here."

Chen Changsheng nodded to show that he had no objection. He looked at the soy milk and fried dough sticks that Tang Sanliu had bought at some point and shook his head helplessly, "Is eating and drinking so important?"

Tang Sanshiliu said: "Eating and drinking are not life and death, they are higher than life and death."

The door of the National Education Academy was closed again, but the isolation was completely different from the previous days. Everyone knew that tomorrow, this closed door would be opened again.

The commotion of the crowd outside Baihua Alley continued, and the entire Kyoto also became commotion.

The Zongsi Institute challenges the National Education Academy. This will be the first battle between the various academies in martial arts.

It has nothing to do with the far-reaching significance that the new rules of the state religion have brought to mankind against the demons. People know very well that this means that the forces of the Tianhai family and the new sect of the state religion have finally begun to make their voices heard in the palace.

It didn't take long for the news to spread throughout Kyoto, and soon many workers came with various construction materials. Before long, a simple pergola took shape. Then, dozens of carriages arrived outside Baihua Alley, and many people got out of the carriages, including painters, lecturers, businessmen, and masters from the four major villages.

Yes, these people who reacted faster than Kyoto Prefecture are all from Kyoto's famous Shidabo.

The four major businesses do all kinds of businesses, including restaurants, restaurants, brothels, food, luxury goods, and fabrics, but the most profitable business is always the gambling house.

Every year during the Imperial Examination, it is often the time when the four major workshops make the most money. How could they miss such a natural and perfect betting event as Zhuyuan Wushu? In fact, many people are doubting that Li Gong can make money in such a short period of time. , despite the opposition of the Cardinal Office, the proposal of the two Holy Archbishops was passed. It is very likely that the boss behind the four major squares secretly promoted it.

Of course, Baihua Alley became extremely lively, but people from the Four Squares did not dare to disturb the tranquility of the Chinese Academy of Education. Businessmen are businessmen.

What happened next was somewhat unexpected.

A steward from Tianxiangfang walked to the entrance of the National Education College without hesitation, ignoring the vigilant gazes of the Riggong priest and the Yulin Army. People looked at this scene and were very puzzled, wondering what on earth the steward was going to do? You must know that Tianxiangfang is the weakest among the four major houses and has always been ranked at the bottom. This year's imperial examination was a series of upsets. In the end, Chen Changsheng unexpectedly won the first place, which caused Tianxiangfang to suffer heavy losses. There were even some Rumor has it that Tianxiangfang is very likely to change hands. Where does this manager have the confidence?

An even more unexpected thing happened. The door of the National Education Academy actually opened, and the steward walked in.

…

…

"You mean... Tianxiangfang is your Tang family's property?"

Chen Changsheng looked at the extremely humble steward in front of Tang Sanliu and asked in surprise: "Why have I never heard of it?"

Tang Thirty-Six said: "It was decided after the imperial examination."

Chen Changsheng said: "I heard that the four major houses in Kyoto all have very strong backgrounds. One of them seems to be a property of Tianji Pavilion. Why would the former owner of Tianxiangfang be willing to take action?"

Everyone knows that the Wenshui Tang family is the richest family in the world. The problem is that the relationship between the Tianhai family and the Tang family has always been a bit bad. Over the years, they have secretly prevented the Tang family's influence from entering Kyoto. If Tianxiangfang really belongs to the Tang family, all the Tianhai family's efforts will be in vain, so he doesn't understand how the Tang family did it.

Tang Sanliu looked at him and smiled, without explaining.

Chen Changsheng was a little confused.

The steward looked at Chen Changsheng with a strange expression, thinking that if the Wenshui Tang family hadn't placed a heavy bet on you in the imperial examination, why would Tianxiangfang have to lose and be forced to change hands? Naturally, he did not dare to say these words. He looked at Tang Sanliu and asked for instructions: "Master, according to the rules of the family, the money in the shop cannot be touched. I can only pledge all your personal savings."

Tang Sanliu calculated the amount and thought that even if he won, it would not be enough to buy Chenghu Tower. He turned to Chen Changsheng and Xuanyuan Po and said, "Give me whatever money you have left."

When he borrows money from others, he naturally doesn't need to issue an IOU or anything like that. As for what he is borrowing money for, he doesn't bother to explain. When he borrows money from others, he really looks down on the other person.

It's a pity that these two classmates of his in the Chinese Academy of Education are really looked down upon in this regard.

Xuanyuan Po rummaged through the boxes and found more than seventy taels of silver.

Chen Changsheng was even more miserable. He searched all over his body and couldn't find even a piece of paper.

Tang Thirty-six was very sympathetic to Xuanyuan Po, but extremely angry at Chen Changsheng: "Where are those banknotes I gave you? Where are those treasures His Highness Luoluo gave you? After the imperial examination, the National Education Academy received so many gift bills , where did everything go?”

Chen Changsheng was a little embarrassed and said, "Those... were all left in Zhou Garden."

Tang Sanshiliu knew very well how much property Chen Changsheng had before he went to Zhou Garden. Not to mention the boxes of banknotes, he was a little envious of the treasures Luoluo gave him, but... he lost them! Thinking that Zhou Yuan had been destroyed now, and there was no hope of recovering those belongings, he felt even more sad. He looked at him angrily and said, "What a waste of money."

Chen Changsheng thought about the boxes and books deep in Zhouyuan Lake, and felt very regretful. He thought he had to find a way to get them back. In the past two days, he tried several times, but after passing through the ocean of sword intent, his consciousness still couldn't pass through the virtual image of the black stone monument. If he wanted to find his way back to Zhou Garden again, it seemed destined to end. It's a very long process.

Xuanyuan Po suddenly thought of a question, glanced at the steward of Tianxiangfang who was counting the silver coins, and asked Tang Thirty-Six, "Do you want money to gamble?"

Tang Sanshiliu said: "Otherwise? Are you going to go whoring?"

Xuanyuan Po shook his head and said, "Our clan has said that human beings are the most cunning and we can't bet with you. I might as well keep it and do some small business."

As he spoke, he prepared to take back his silver coins.

"What a stupid bear." Tang Sanliu said angrily: "It only takes two days, and one tael of silver will turn into eleven taels of silver. What business is more worth doing than this?"

Xuanyuan Po stopped and said a little surprised: "Why do you pay so much?"

Just because the demon tribe doesn't like gambling with humans doesn't mean they don't gamble. No matter how honest the boy from the bear tribe is, he at least understands things like odds.

Tang Sanshiliu said: "The odds just calculated by the Four Dafangs, the highest is 11 to 1, and the lowest is 9 to 1."

Xuanyuan Po suddenly felt something was wrong and asked with some uncertainty, "Does this mean we win?"

Tang Thirty-Six looked at him as if he were an idiot: "Zhou Ziheng is in the Star Gathering Realm, and Chen Changsheng is in the Netherworld Realm. Do you think Sidafang will give Zhou Ziheng an eleven-for-one offer?"

Xuanyuan was shocked and shouted: "You actually want to use my money to pledge Chen Changsheng!"

You must know that among the dozens of taels of silver, apart from the subsidy given by the religious office, the rest was all the hard money he earned from washing dishes at the night market. How could he be willing to let this money go to waste.

Tang Sanshiliu looked at him and sneered: "You have to figure it out. If you don't take him into custody, what will you do if he uses his identity as the dean to give you little shoes to wear, and then accuses you in front of His Highness Luoluo?"

Xuanyuan Po was helpless when he heard this and felt very painful.

…

…

The plum blossoms all over the room are still in full bloom, as if there are really four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter between a few simple walls.

Unfortunately, human life cannot have such a beautiful and magical scene. Once the harsh winter comes, there is no way to return to spring.

Meili Sha's illness has become very serious, and all the affairs in the Office of the Imperial Academy have been handed over to subordinates, and some affairs have been transferred to Mao Qiuyu.

In fact, he knew very well that he was not sick, but just old.

If it is a disease, it can be cured, not to mention that he is the one who is sick. As long as he is willing, I am afraid that the teachers and students of the entire Qingzhi Thirteenth Division will come over to perform the Holy Light Technique for him.

No one can cure the old man, not even Qingzhen Shisansi, not the saint, not even the Pope.

We are getting old and are about to return to the sea of ​​​​stars. At this time, different people will behave differently.

Meili Sha studied classics and presided over educational affairs in the state religion, and spent hundreds of years in solitude. At this time, what he liked most was the excitement.

Especially the excitement related to Chen Changsheng and the Chinese Academy of Education.

After listening to Priest Xin's account of what happened early this morning, the wrinkles on Melisa's face relaxed and she said with a smile: "It's so lively."

It was really lively as he spoke, with a smile on his old face, and even the age spots seemed to have faded a little, but Priest Xin could hear a hint of loneliness.

This made him feel uneasy.
