Time always slips away silently, and when you notice it and reach out to grab it, you will find that before you know it, it has run a long way forward.

Older people get older, and younger people get older.

It has been washed over time.

The majestic Yanjing City is less noisy and more heavy.

The big bluestone bricks on the street have been washed by time, and they have become black and swarthy instead of being innocent in the past.

The guys in the shops on both sides of the street, when the sun was in full bloom, sprinkled water on the street, which immediately made pedestrians feel a sense of comfort.

One large, two small, three figures stepped on cowhide boots, happily running through the slightly waterlogged streets, splashing droplets of water stained with mud.

"You two hurry up, it's too late."

The girl at the head, dressed in red, ran forward in a hurry, and she turned back from time to time to remind the two little tails behind her.

The two little ones behind her, seven or eight years old, were both dressed in brocade clothes.

One of them was thin and weak, with eyes that were wandering around.

The other was very strong, and followed the girl without squinting.

The thin and weak little guy ran for a while, and seeing the girl in red running farther and farther, he hit the idea on another little friend.

"Di Qing, I can't run anymore, you carry me."

The sturdy little guy glanced back at him, pouted, and said, "Dream......"

The thin and weak little guy pouted and said, "If you don't carry me, I'll tell him about you breaking Sister Gui Ying's dressing box." ”

mentioned the dressing box, and the sturdy little guy roared angrily: "Sister Gui Ying's dressing box was obviously stuffed into my hand after you broke it, and you wronged me." ”

The skinny and weak little guy looked like a scoundrel and said, "Who saw it?" No one saw it. But Jiu Gu and I both saw that Sister Gui Ying's dressing box was broken in your hands. ”

The sturdy little guy almost pounced on and strangled the skinny little fellow.

The ninth aunt in the mouth of the thin and weak little guy is a little girl younger than the two of them, and she has always been close to him, but he is the only one.

If he said it was black, the little girl would definitely say it was black.

Seeing that the sturdy little guy was hesitant, the thin and weak little guy rolled his eyes and said in a low voice: "Di Qing, when I went to my father's imperial study yesterday, I heard Grandpa Hong say that Sister Gui Ying's sword skills have been completed, and she is about to practice marksmanship."

Her martial arts are a little better than yours, and if she knew you broke her dressing case.

Zizi Zi ......"

The sturdy little guy shuddered at the thought of the murderous appearance of the red-clothed girl running in front of him.

That is a person who is cruel and dares to beat the prince in front of the emperor.

Can't afford to mess with it!

The sturdy little guy gritted his teeth, glared at the thin little guy, squatted down slightly, "Come up ......"

The thin little guy was overjoyed and walked quickly behind the sturdy little guy.

"What are you doing?"

A coquettish cheer rang in the ears of the two.

The thin little guy stiffened, and smiled brightly: "What did you do......

The stout little guy replied honestly, "Zongwei asked me to carry him." ”

The girl in red glared at the two of them, and then said to the thin little guy, "If you need someone to carry it, then wait for Uncle Peng to catch up and find him to carry you." ”

The thin little guy hurriedly waved his hand, "No, no, no......"

As he spoke, he glared at the sturdy little guy menacingly.

Seeing this, the stout little guy gritted his teeth.

He didn't want to be threatened by the thin little guy, so he wanted to find the girl in red to confess and be lenient.

"Sister Gui Ying, I'm sorry, I broke your dressing box."

The girl in red was stunned when she heard this, and said suspiciously: "What are you talking nonsense, I don't like dressing, where is the dressing box." ”

"Yang Zongwei! You're lying to me again! ”

The stout little guy chased the skinny little guy and hit.

Three of you, you chased after me and ran forward.

Not far behind them, Peng Pai, dressed in civilian clothes, led a few men with big shoulders and round waists, and followed behind.

Five years slipped away.

Mu Guiying's three little guys have grown from the size of a bean to the point where chickens and dogs are disgusted.

Peng Pai has also matured a lot, and the man who was originally white-faced and beardless has grown a short beard at this time.

"The little ones are running away, and we'll have to keep up."

As they spoke, the group opened their legs and followed the footsteps of Yang Zongwei and the others in just a few breaths.

"You three little ones, run slower and wait for me ......"

Seeing that he was about to catch up with Yang Zongwei and the others, Peng Pai shouted at the top of his voice, so Yang Zongwei and the three of them ran faster.

Peng Pai smiled and slowed down his pace and followed behind.

For the safety of Yang Zongwei and the others, Peng Pai is not worried.

The talented Mu Guiying, who is only fourteen years old, can tie with Peng Pai.

Three or five idlers are no match for her at all.

Moreover, on both sides of the street, the staff of the Supervision Department has long been filled.

As long as someone is unfavorable to the three little guys, a group of big men will jump out of the crowd in an instant, and the thieves will be beaten into pulp.

The reason why Peng Pai bothered to catch up behind was purely to accompany the three little guys to play cat and mouse games.

"My lord, Your Highness, Di Gongzi, and Miss Mu are rushing to watch the graduation ceremony of Yenching University Hall? My subordinates have heard that His Majesty will personally attend the graduation ceremony at the Yenching University Hall today. ”

The man who followed Peng Pai scratched his head and asked curiously.

The corners of Peng Pai's mouth twitched, and he glanced at him, "New here?" ”

The man said embarrassedly: "My subordinates have been guarding Zhongyi Mountain a few years ago, and they have only recently been transferred to Yanjing City. A few days ago, your lord, you said that there were not enough people in the palace, so you transferred your subordinates to the palace again. ”

Peng Pai nodded slowly and advised: "Since you are new here, you are also from Zhongyi Mountain. Then I won't embarrass you. In the future, you will go to the palace on an errand, as your superior, I should tell you the rules of the palace.

Remember, at no time should you inquire about Your Majesty's whereabouts, let alone spread His Majesty's whereabouts. ”

When the man heard this, he trembled and said in a trembling voice: "Subordinate...... The subordinates understand......"

Peng Pai was happy and said with a smile: "You don't need to be so nervous. I'm just telling you in advance, and I don't mean to be held accountable. After all, you will have to be on an errand in the palace in the future, and you will know more or less about His Majesty's whereabouts.

Once it is used by someone with a heart and finds out His Majesty's whereabouts, it will be detrimental to His Majesty.

That's a lot of fun. ”

"Although in the past two years, Your Majesty has rarely killed people. But I can tell you, damn it, not a single one escaped. ”

The man wiped the cold sweat from his head and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, even if your subordinates are dead, they will not reveal Your Majesty's whereabouts to outsiders." ”

Peng Pai patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "You really don't have to be so nervous, you people from Zhongyi Mountain have already proved your loyalty to Your Majesty with blood." I may not be able to believe in other people in this Great Yan Kingdom, but you people from Zhongyi Mountain, I can trust Peng Pai. ”

Peng Pai paused, and then said, "I don't know who told you that Your Majesty will go back to the Yenching University Hall graduation ceremony, but I can tell you for sure that Your Majesty will not appear at the graduation ceremony of the Yenching University Hall."

As for where these three little ancestors are going, you will know later. ”

After speaking, the group continued to follow the footsteps of Yang Zongwei and the others.

Finally, outside a school in the corner of Yanjing City, he stopped.

The school is the specification of the intermediate school of the domestic standard of Yan.

It covers an area of 30 acres and has 16 classrooms.

There are no stone lions or horse-tethering stones at the door.

Instead, two lush green pines were planted.

After Yang Zongwei and the three of them arrived at the door of the school, they leaned against the wall of the school and squatted on the ground, as if they were waiting for someone.

I waited about a quarter of an hour.

An old man was carrying a gong and banging it in the school.

"Dangdangdang......"

The crisp sound of gongs spread throughout the hall and beyond.

The little ones inside and outside the school were shocked.

Yang Zongwei and the three of them suddenly got up as if they had heard some fairy music.

After a while, a large group of little ones rushed out of the school.

"Stop!"

When Mu Guiying rushed out of the school, she took the lead and shouted angrily.

Hearing the female tiger's might, most of the children scattered in fright.

The four little guys were left alone, and they looked at Mu Guiying and the three of them with a stunned expression.

Three men and one woman.

All of them are seven or eight years old.

"Why are you here again?"

The leader was a thin and weak but very stinky boy, he saw Mu Guiying and the three, raised his eyebrows, and pouted.

Yang Zongwei took a step forward, patted his chest heroically and said, "I said that we would compete before, how could we miss the appointment!" ”

The stinky boy immediately straightened his waist and said, "Compared to what? Poetry and songs are up to you. ”

Mu Guiying snorted coldly: "At a young age, what a big breath." ”

The stinky boy sneered: "Compared with poetry and songs, I haven't been afraid of growing so big." ”

"Yoo Yong, forget it......"

A chubby little boy behind the stinky boy tugged at his sleeve and whispered.

Liu Yong glared at him and said in a low voice, "Yan Shu, how did the pastries they gave last time taste?" ”

Yan Shu was stunned for a moment, and nodded desperately, "It's delicious, I've never eaten such a delicious pastry." ”

"Do you want to eat it again?"

"Think...... But ......"

"That's right, as long as we win, we can make terms with them."

"Okay......"

The little fat man Yan Shu surrendered under the temptation of food.

Liu Yong looked at the other two behind him again, "Ouyang Xiu, sister of the Cheng family, what about you?" ”

The little guy who was called Ouyang Xiu licked the corners of his mouth and said in a low voice: "There is something delicious, I naturally can't miss it." ”

And the only girl, the girl of the Cheng family, pulled the corners of her clothes and said in a small voice: "Little sister, little sister has to wait for the Su family's brother ......"

Hearing the girl of the Cheng family mention the brother of the Su family, Liu Yong and the others smiled bitterly.

Liu Yong said angrily: "That stubborn donkey will only do bad things!" ”

"Who are you talking about? Who do you say? ”

A boy with a big head came out of the academy and stared at Liu Yong angrily.

"Brother ...... Su Family"

When the girl of the Cheng family saw Su Xun, she ignored it and walked over.

Su Xun yelled impatiently: "You stay away from me, you always follow me, and others always talk about me." ”

The girl of the Cheng family timidly pinched the corner of her clothes and said in a mosquito-like voice: "But it's your lady......"

Hearing the word 'lady', Su Xun jumped to his feet angrily.

"Don't say it!"

Childhood sweethearts, two little guesses, is not uncommon in Yan Kingdom.

It's strange that two people are studying in the same school.

And no one else in the school has a baby or a child bride or anything like that.

Su Xun naturally became the target of public criticism and became the target of ridicule for a group of little guys.

So every time the Cheng girl mentioned something like 'lady', Su Xun jumped to her feet.

"I said that you are not finished, and you are not comparable!"

Mu Guiying shouted at them impatiently.

When Su Xun heard this, he raised his head and said, "Three against four, it's not fair." I'm joining you, so it's four against four, so it's fair. ”

When Liu Yong heard this, he scolded angrily: "Su Xun, you traitor. ”

Su Xun turned a deaf ear, raised his feet and walked towards Yang Zongwei and the others.

The girl of the Cheng family subconsciously wanted to follow.

Su Xun jumped to his feet and said, "Don't follow me......"

"But...... You are not allowed to follow me anyway. ”

The girl of the Cheng family looked aggrieved.

Liu Yong stepped forward and protected the girl of the Cheng family, "Don't be sad, Brother Liu will help you." ”

The girl of the Cheng family shook her head stubbornly, tears rolling in her eyes, but she said firmly: "I want to compare ...... with him"

"Good!"

The other side.

Yang Zongwei saw Su Xun coming, hurriedly approached Mu Guiying's side, and said in a low voice, "Do you want him?" ”

Mu Guiying frowned and said: "Poetry and poetry are not opponents, leave him and have a helper." ”

After a while.

Eight people divided into two teams and stood at the door of the school.

Liu Yong said proudly: "Now four against four, it's very fair, let's say, compare what." ”

Di Qing hesitated for a moment and interjected, "We seem to have one less judge?" ”

Mu Guiying and Liu Yong frowned at the same time.

"Where are you going to find a judge for a while?"

Just when the eight little guys were full of sadness, a little guy with a dark face walked out of the school gate leisurely.

When Liu Yong saw this, his eyes lit up.

"Wrap black charcoal, come here."

The little swarthy guy was stunned for a moment, and immediately wanted to turn around and run.

But I heard Liu Yong say faintly there: "If you dare to run, I will burn your eyebrows with fire next time." ”

When the swarthy little guy heard this, he turned around with a depressed face and came slowly.

He said as he walked: "My name is Bao Zheng, not Bao Heitan." ”

Liu Yong glared and said, "I'll just ask you to wrap black charcoal, do you have any opinions?" ”

Bao Zheng hurriedly shook his head.

Obviously, Bao Zheng was afraid of Liu Yong.

Liu Yong shouted: "A few of us have to compete, and you will be the judge." ”

Bao Zheng glanced at him and asked Liu Yong quietly in a not-so-small voice, "Do you want to face you?" ”

Liu Yong almost didn't jump up and strangled the black charcoal head.

Putting water or something so loud and how to release water.

Really.

Mu Guiying, who was on the other side, heard this and said fiercely: "If you dare to face them, I will beat you to death." ”
