After reaching an offensive and defensive alliance with Qiao Yizhou, Chu Yi and Jing Wuming left the helm of the beggar gang, while Lin Xiao stayed behind to take over the intelligence agency in Kyoto.

In order to ensure the smooth takeover, Qiao Yizhou personally stepped forward to help him coordinate internal relations.

At this time, the night was already deep, and there were no pedestrians on the huge official road, and occasionally patrol soldiers passed by.

Chu Yi and Jing Wuming shuttled through the streets and alleys to avoid the patrolling soldiers.

As they were about to cross an alley, the two stopped abruptly.

Chu Yi said in his heart: "Someone is coming!"

As he spoke, a man flew down and fell.

Under the moonlight, the man was dressed in a robe, with a hairpin on his head, a long sword on his back, and a dust whisk in his hand.

"What are you two sneaking around, what are you doing?" the man asked in a cold voice.

Immediately, the man's gaze fell on Jing Wuming's empty left sleeve. Now, the people of the entire Tianji Camp know that the Demon Dao Demon who appeared in Tiger Hill is a one-armed Dao Gu.

Now, there is a one-armed man in front of him.

For the demon demon, he would rather kill by mistake than let go of any suspicious person.

Chu Yi saw this guy's thoughts, and said in his heart: "Brother Jing, if this person makes a move, I will deal with it." ”

Jing Wuming has not yet entered the Jindan Cultivator, but as long as he is willing, he can be called a Jindan monk. It's just that he is a human being in two lives, and he doesn't have that much desire for the realm, so he has been pressing his cultivation under the golden pill, waiting for the best opportunity to break the mirror.

If you don't fly, it's amazing.

Just as the Dao man was about to make a move, a golden light fell from the sky, and it was none other than the sword cultivator Li Xiang.

When the Dao man saw Li Xiang appear, he immediately preached in his heart: "Lord Li, these two people are suspicious, and the poor Dao thinks that they may be the spies of the Demon Sect, and they are about to be captured. ”

Li Xiang said coldly: "Daoist Zhou, leave it to me here, and you can go to other places to inspect." ”

This Zhou Dao paused for a moment, then snorted at him and flew away.

Chu Yi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Li Xiang, and said with his fists clenched: "Thank you second brother for helping." ”

When Li Xiang heard this, he immediately said happily: "Big brother, such a trivial matter is not enough to worry about. ”

"By the way, big brother, didn't you come back from the Closed Moon Pavilion so late?" Li Xiang walked up to him and asked in a low voice.

Chu Yi was confused when he heard this, and said suspiciously: "Closed Moon Pavilion?"

Li Xiang muttered mysteriously: "Don't worry, big brother, I won't tell others." ”

Chu Yi was a little confused, he didn't know what kind of heart this thing was, but it was not good to ask directly, so he nodded in confusion.

"Big brother, you should come back early in the evening these days. Nowadays, the strict investigation in the city is very tight, and if there is a misunderstanding, there may be a fear for your life. Li Xiang reminded.

"Thank you for the reminder. I'll pay attention next time. ”

"Big brother, I'll send you back to Zhilan Qingyuan. Li Xiang was not at ease and decided to send them back before leaving.

Back in Zhilan Qingyuan, Li Xiang said goodbye and left.

Chu Yi returned to his room, briefly freshened up a few times, and was about to go to bed, when he heard Xu Zhong's voice: "Childe." ”

"Come in. ”

Xu Zhong pushed the door in, walked up to Chu Yi, hugged his fists and said, "Childe, you look for me." ”

"After the competition is over, you go to the helmsman of the beggar gang and assist Lin Xiao to take over the intelligence agency in Kyoto. If you do not offend me, I will not offend anyone, and if anyone offends me, I will return it. Harmony is the most important thing in everything, and try not to kill people. ”

Chu Yi paused and continued: "When your big brother Hu comes to Kyoto, you will go to the mountains with him to practice. ”

Xu Zhong said "um", and then asked, "Childe, Sister Yuhuan will be fine, right?"

Chu Yi smiled faintly and said, "She'll be fine, don't worry." ”

Xu Zhong nodded, clenched his fists and left.

Chu Yi sighed softly and said with a worried expression: "Little sister, where are you now?"

For no reason, he remembered Ling Yan. Before coming to Kyoto, he sent two letters back to Luochuan to give to Liu Decai, one letter asking him to arrange for the disciples of Baiyunguan to go to Qingyang to cooperate with Kucai in business, and the other letter was forwarded to Ling Yan, who was practicing in retreat at Baiyunguan.

After all, there was no news of Ling Yan for such a long time, and he was always a little uneasy in his heart. In addition, now that he has cultivated to the Golden Pill, he can basically protect himself, and he doesn't need Ling Yan to come forward again.

He owes Ling Yan too much, and his only thought is to spend his life with her, watching the sunrise and sunset, watching the grass grow and the warbler flying, giving birth to a son and a daughter, and a family of four living a beautiful life.

Thinking about it, Chu Yi's heart hurt more and more, and he didn't have the heart to comprehend the sword technique. In desperation, he took out the ancient book "Xunzi Da Luo" and looked at it.

There are three days left until the day of the competition.

According to the usual practice, the academies participating in the competition in the past three days will send people to the six departments and Jiuqing to walk around, after all, most of these people are from these academies.

Last night, Chu Yi lay on the table and squinted for a while, and fell asleep unconsciously. When he woke up, he found that he was wearing a fluffy cape.

Chu Yi rubbed his eyes and was about to get up, but found that Dai Yu walked in with a basin of warm water, and said with a smile: "Childe, you are awake!"

Chu Yi was quite surprised, and said, "This kind of trivial matter, I will do it myself." "Dai Yu can appear here, and she is still in good shape, which means that she has put aside the matter of Yuhuan for the time being.

"Childe, Lord Shangshu just sent someone over and said that you should go back to Chu Mansion in the evening. Dai Yu said as he handed him a bowl of green salt water.

Chu Yi took the salt water, rinsed it three times in a row, picked up a wet towel and washed his face, and said after a while: "It's my aunt's faction?"

Dai Yu shook his head and said, "That person only said that he was sent by Lord Shangshu." ”

As soon as Chu Yi thought of that Wei Shi, a sense of disgust appeared in his heart, and when he looked up, he saw her brows frowning slightly, as if he was displeased.

"What do you think?"

Dai Yu muttered angrily: "Xu Zhong told me that there is a Xiang Xinghai who claims to be from Donglin Academy who wants to look for me. ”

Chu Yi let out an "oh" and asked, "You refused?"

Dai Yu held back his lips and frowned, "I asked Xu Zhong to send him away." I don't know him, so why did he come to me? ”

Chu Yi smiled and said, "Since ancient times, my fair lady and gentleman are good. This shows that our Dai Yu is beautiful and has an extraordinary temperament, and naturally there will be many young talents who will come here. ”

Dai Yu was a little happy and a little sad in his heart when he said something. Happily, his son-in-law praised her for her good-looking and temperamental in front of her, and sadly, his son-in-law only had Sister Ling Yan in his heart, and even a woman like Yuhuan could not enter his heart.

"After breakfast, I'll take you to the fun places in Kyoto to see and buy something. Chu Yi saw that her brows were tightly knit and her face was unhappy, so he thought of using shopping to make her happy.

Dai Yu was not interested in this, and politely refused: "Master said that cultivation is like sailing against the current, and if you don't advance, you will retreat, so you can't waste a day." I'll go back to my room and practice. Go yourselves. ”

After speaking, Dai Yu turned around and left.

As the old saying goes, the pulse is easy to diagnose, but the woman is hard to break. This woman's heart, sure enough, is difficult to guess.

Chu Yi smiled bitterly, this little girl has a bit of a good temper, she really doesn't take him as the dean in her eyes.

However, seeing her come out of her emotional trough, Chu Yi was also quite relieved in his heart, and he was in a good mood today.

As for the competition two days later, the so-called big test and big play, small test and small play, I don't pay attention to it at all.

It's just that Chu Yi didn't know that the news of Yanling Academy's overpower over Xiangshan Academy spread in Kyoto.

Some people are indignant and upset, thinking that it must be because this Yanling Academy has used an unpopular method to achieve such an achievement.

Soon, the news that Chu Yi was the son-in-law of Chu Jianfeng, the secretary of the Ministry of War, also spread widely, and it became a fierce hit in the Kyoto officialdom, fermenting everywhere.

In fact, just when Chu Yi arrived at Tiger Hill, someone from Qingyang handed an excerpt to Kyoto.

It is said that Chu Jianfeng, the secretary of the Ministry of War, has no way to teach his son, and he collects money everywhere in the name of running a school.

It is said that Yao Guangping, the Mufu of Yunzhou, deliberately favored Yanling Academy and manipulated the order of drawing.

......

In short, the excerpts flew into Kyoto like snowflakes, and some imperial histories in Kyoto were not idle, so they also added oil and vinegar to the court.

But to the surprise of the courtiers, these folds were like mud cows entering the sea, without setting off a single wave.

Today's saint Li Shixun is also a wise man, especially in the matter of employing people, and Wenhua will be such a grand event, naturally he will not let it go easily.

Therefore, many people were waiting for the emperor to dictate a thorough investigation of the matter, but at the court meeting, the emperor did not care about this topic at all, and also diverted the topic, which made the ministers feel particularly puzzling.

Chu Yi didn't know about the affairs of the court.

But when he walked out of the gate of Zhilan Qingyuan again, he knew how crazy this young man in Kyoto was.

At this time, the gate of Zhilan Qingyuan was crowded with young faces, and these people were all coming towards Chu Yi of Yanling Academy.

They all wanted to see what the youngest academy dean in the Southern Tang Dynasty looked like today, and whether he had three heads and six arms, otherwise how could he overwhelm Xiangshan Academy?

They never dared to think of this kind of unbelievable thing, let alone believe it. But the facts are in front of you, there are really people in the world who can do it, and it is a young man of their age.

"He is Dean Xiao Chu. Someone suddenly shouted.

Immediately, everyone's eyes fell on Chu Yi.

Before Chu Yi could figure out what was going on, he saw those people swarming in. Seeing this, Xu Zhong hurriedly stepped forward, protected him behind him, and was on guard.
