Too Academy.

The lights in the small courtyard where the flowers filled the garden were still on.

It's late autumn, the autumn is getting colder, and the flowers are past the year of the sixtieth year, so I feel that my body is not as good as a year.

He sat in his little wooden building, where a charcoal fire had been lit.

At this moment, he looked at Su Muxin, and a smile appeared on his face, "Why are you here so late?"

Su Muxin bowed: "The disciple couldn't sleep, so he walked around at will, and when he saw that the lights in the teacher's small courtyard were not extinguished, he thought about it and came to see the teacher." ”

"Oh......"

Hua Manting stretched out his crossed feet, rubbed them gently, and pointed to the tea stove on the table: "Brew tea!"

"Good!"

Su Muxin lit the tea stove and boiled a pot of tea.

Hua Manting closed the book in front of him and asked, "Last time you said that Chen An sent you to the army...... I heard that he took people to Shuangjiao Mountain to suppress bandits, why didn't you go?"

Su Muxin smiled bitterly and shook his head: "The student is worried about this!"

"Tell me about it. ”

"He said that I was a literati, and he said that going to Shuangjiao Mountain was not only a difficult road, but also dangerous, so he almost said that I was a burden. ”

Su Muxin raised her head, with a look of indignation on her face, and even her tone was a little complaining:

"He, Li Chen'an, is also a literati, he can go, why can't I go?!"

"Besides, through this kind of suppression of bandits, it can also make me more harmonious with the soldiers of the Xuanjia Battalion, which is more conducive to my stay in the camp in the future......"

Su Muxin pursed his lips, retracted his gaze, and sighed, "I've been thinking about a question these days, where is my path?"

Hua Manting stroked his long beard and laughed, and asked, "Xuanjia Battalion...... Are you a soldier from the Dingguo Marquis' Mansion?"

Su Muxin shook his head, "An army that no one knows about yet. ”

"Amazing?"

"The students didn't spend much time with them, but in the eyes of the students, they should be more powerful than the Shenwu Army! It's just a pity that there are fewer people. ”

"Oh...... How many are there?"

"There are only about 300 people, and it is estimated that it is because the Imperial City Division does not have so much silver to raise soldiers. ”

Hua Manting crossed his legs again, pondered for a moment, and said, "In this way, this is Chen An's trust in you!"

"Think about it, the eldest grandson Jinghong is already old, and Chen An is now the deputy of the Imperial City Division, so the Imperial City Division will inevitably be handed over to Chen An!"

"Since this Xuanjia Battalion was trained by the eldest grandson Jinghong himself, and since the eldest grandson Jinghong handed over such a powerful group of people to Li Chen'an, this is enough to show that the eldest grandson Jinghong trusts Chen'an. ”

"Chen An put you in this Xuanjia camp, this is his trust in you!"

"As for why I didn't let you go to Shuangjiao Mountain with you...... Although Chen An is a literati, he has practiced martial arts after all. ”

"I don't know what the terrain of Shuangjiao Mountain is, but it's rugged and steep if you want to come, if you go with you...... It's really troublesome. ”

"Although it is said to be a bandit, but in the deep mountains and dense forests, those bandits are familiar with the terrain, if you set up some traps and release cold arrows coldly, it is indeed dangerous, so the teacher thinks that Chen An is really worried that you have an accident. ”

Su Muxin lowered his head, pursed his lips, and muttered: "Since he became a soldier, the horse leather shroud is fate, and the student has already put life and death aside, although he said that he has good intentions, but when the Xuanjia Battalion comes back, what will they think of the students?"

Hua Manting looked at his proud protégé and pointed to the tea stove, "The water is boiling." ”

Su Muxin twisted a pinch of tea leaves and put them into the teapot, Hua Manting sat up straight, and said:

"Boiling tea needs to come step by step, and being a soldier also needs to go step by step!"

"You...... This temperament still can't sink. While your intentions are good, understand that pawns are not the same as pawns. ”

"In the eyes of the teacher, you are not a soldier now, you are still a literati. ”

"Of course, your days as a soldier are still short. If you can survive these three or five years in the army, when you sit here for the teacher again, you will be the same as you are now...... It must be very different!"

"The person who holds the pen and the person who holds the knife will have different hands, different mental heads, and even different sitting postures. ”

Su Muxin raised his head, "That's why students think that being a soldier needs to be tempered!"

"Isn't this the best tempering?"

"Seeing blood, killing and killing, if you really go to the battlefield in the future, the students will at least not tremble. ”

Hua Manting grinned again: "You're right, it's just ...... There is something strange about this banditry, and I am afraid that it is not just as simple as suppressing bandits. ”

Su Mu was stunned, "Please ask the teacher for guidance." ”

"You think, Chen An went to Shuangjiao Mountain with the second prince to suppress bandits, but everyone in Kyoto knows that Chen An and the second prince are not compatible. ”

"There are also rumors that the water bandits in Shuangjiao Lake were deliberately raised by Ji Tai, and Ji Tai is a big help for the second prince...... Chen An wants to suppress bandits, how can the second prince suppress bandits?"

"Chen An and the second prince are in the deep mountains and old forests, and the emperor is in Changle Palace...... If they are playing chess games with each other...... If anyone is killed in Shuangjiao Mountain, isn't it normal?"

Su Mu was shocked, and then heard Hua Manting say again: "If Shuangjiao Mountain is a game, for Ji Tai, he will definitely kill Chen An in this game." ”

"But Chen An is a smart man, not to mention that there is an old fox behind him. ”

"He's not going to be restricted...... Therefore, the teacher thinks that Chen An also has arrangements in Shuangjiao Mountain, and what he thinks is not only to make the second prince unable to come back, but also to eat all the chess pieces sent by Ji Tai to Shuangjiao Mountain!"

Su Muxin was shocked in his heart, and asked in a low voice in disbelief: "He dares to kill the prince?"

Hua Manting leaned over and said very seriously: "This is the biggest difference between you and him!"

"He will dare, and if you are there, you will definitely stop it!"

Su Muxin lowered his head slightly, and there was a look of confusion in his eyes.

A fierce struggle arose in his mind.

The education he received told him that reading books was for the sake of the country.

This country is the country of the Ning family, and the Jinshi in the study, the ability of this body should be sold to the emperor's family.

Although Ning Zhixing is not an emperor, he is a member of the royal family, and he is His Royal Highness Prince De, who has a respected status!

If it were him, would he raise a knife and slash at Ning Zhixing?

He quickly had an answer - no!

Because it's tantamount to rebellion!

Although Su Muxin has a lot of dissatisfaction with this court, and although he has a lot of sympathy for the people's suffering, all he thinks is to set things right and let the corrupt officials led by Ji Tai be tried.

He had never had such a rebellious thought as rebellion!

"Now do you understand the reason why Chen An really didn't let you go to Shuangjiao Mountain?"

Su Muxin raised his head, "He...... How dare he do that?"

Hua Manting nodded, "If you don't understand him, read the song "Will Enter the Wine" again!"
