The moon quietly showed a corner, but Beiyang City was lively.

It's just past dinner, and it's not yet curfew, and some vendors are starting to get their last busy day.

The streets are full of people, and the whole city is brightly lit.

But there was one dwelling that seemed to belong to the city, and the black lights were blinding, which seemed out of place with the bustle outside the door.

The night shrouded the room like a curtain, and the curtain was warm and transparent, revealing a piece of moonlight, which spilled into the room through the thin window paper, illuminating a handsome face.

The night was as sad as wine, and the man's eyes were closed tightly, as if he was drunk in the night, and he slept quietly on the couch in front of the bed.

The expression on the man's face was very rich, sometimes frowning, and then suddenly turning relaxed, and then there was no other movement, perhaps it was a dream that could not be said whether it was good or bad, and the things in the dream could only be known to him, but judging from the change in the expression on his face, the ending of this dream may be considered good.

Bumpy, rugged, and then turned to steady, and the man still fell asleep quietly.

There is a large bed in front of the couch, which is much more comfortable than the couch next to the bed.

Sleeping on a couch without sleeping in a bed looks a bit like an idiot. Occasionally, a few quacking crows flew outside the window, as if sarcastically.

Spirit Academy.

"Uncle, General Lin asks to see you. Yang Hejiu knocked lightly on the door, and after getting the answer, he gently walked into the room and lit a faint oil lamp, then walked to the side of the bed and saluted first, and finally looked at Mu Lanzhou, who was sleeping on the bed, and said this.

"What are you doing here without sleeping at night, I don't see. Mullanzhou turned over and said.

"General Lin said that there is something important. ”

Yang Hejiu didn't want to disturb Mulanzhou's sleep, but the person who came was General Lin, and if the others visited late at night, he would send them away directly, but General Lin's arrival was naturally not as simple as small talk, and he even faintly sniffed out something.

"Xiao Jiu, how many times have I told you, there is nothing more important than eating and sleeping, you don't go to sleep?" Mu Lanzhou sat up and said impatiently.

"I heard that His Royal Highness the eldest prince entered the palace in the morning and has not returned to the house yet. ”

"What does it matter to you whether people go back to the house or not, that's his son, what can he do, can't he eat him?"

"But when did this General Lin become so concerned about this kind of thing, does he have a deep friendship with the eldest prince?" Mullanan thought about something carefully, and then said to himself.

"Let him in?" Yang Hejiu asked tentatively.

"Let him in. ”

"Lord Dean, I'm sorry to visit late at night. Lin Pinggui saluted and said.

"General Lin came here more than just because the eldest prince didn't return late at night. "Mulan is by no means the kind of person who talks politely, you come to me and say directly what you are here for, if you don't say it first, then I will ask directly.

"The dean has entered a fugue, and it is only natural for me to come and visit. ”

"Hehe, we don't have any friendship, you don't have to be so polite, in your capacity, you are willing to call me the dean, but for the sake of my age, so there is no need to tempt to tempt, what do you want to do?"

"Don't dare to deceive the dean, the lord of the country is old, and Beichang can't be messed up. Lin Pinggui thought about it and then saluted and said.

"Beichang won't be messy, and you can't move that kid. Mu Lanzhou stared at Lin Pinggui's eyes and said lightly. He could naturally hear the hidden meaning of Lin Pinggui's words, and he also understood the purpose of Lin Pinggui's return to visit him.

Lin Pinggui looked at Mulanzhou and suddenly felt his heart skip a beat, as the strongest man in the Beichang Empire, his position as a general was not for nothing, it was in exchange for accumulating military merits.

Accustomed to seeing life and death, he could not blink an eye even in the face of a million troops on the battlefield, but now he would have such a big reaction just by being looked at by such a frail old man.

"The dean's too worried. ”

"Your Lin family is different from those civil officials, and you don't have any friendship with the eldest prince, I don't understand why you came here and why you said this. ”

"Our Lin family does not participate in the battle for succession, only to protect the family and defend the country, everyone can see that the time is running out for the lord of the country, and when the time comes..."

"I understand your thoughts, what I can tell you is that the Spirit Academy is only responsible for teaching and educating people, and he can't mess with the whole city alone. Mulan waved his hand and motioned for him not to continue.

"The Dean is wise. Lin Pinggui bowed again and retired.

Yang Hejiu stared at Lin Pinggui's departing back lightly, and his eyes revealed a killing intent that could not be concealed.

"Little Jiu. Mullan stepped forward and patted Yang Hejiu on the shoulder and said.

"Uncle, General Lin wants to do something to Xiao Anzi. Yang Hejiu turned around and said.

"He is a student you taught, I understand your feelings, Xiao Anzi, you don't have to worry about it, his road back to the capital will not be peaceful, but I believe he can handle it. ”

"General Lin is the strongest person in my Beichang, if he makes a move, I am very worried. Yang Hejiu lowered his head and said after thinking about it.

"I'm relieved of this child. And you don't have to worry. ”

"Why?" Yang Hejiu asked.

"I have just said that he is a student taught by you, I am naturally relieved, Lin Pinggui's starting point is not bad, no matter what he does, he will be a little measured. But he, like those civil officials, just thinks too much. Mullanzhou sat down and said.

"It's just that he will really come back?" Yang Hejiu asked after thinking for a while.

"That's his old man, and the courtiers can see that the time is running out, and he will naturally come back when the time comes. ”

"And when you get back?"

"When you come back... Let them handle it themselves. Mulan paused in the middle of his words, and then thought carefully for a while before speaking.

Yang Hejiu blew out the oil lamp in the house, gently closed the door and walked out, sitting in his room with his brows furrowed.

After a while, he stood up and opened a drawer in the room, there was not much in the drawer, only the hair and the half sleeve, the hair had become a little yellow, and the half sleeve was no longer as clean as new, he probably remembered something worth happy about, smiled slightly, and closed the drawer gently.

This conversation tonight confirmed General Lin's thoughts, and at the same time, the Spirit Academy also made its position clear.

He is a member of the Spirit Academy, since the Spirit Academy has made a stand, then he should not be too involved in this matter, in the eyes of others, he is a relative of the Dean, and the students call him Mr. Nine out of respect, everyone knows that he is not responsible for teaching and educating people, only serving the Dean, but what most people don't know is that he is also a teacher, although he has only taught one student.

He had a student, although that student was a bit naughty.

He doesn't have any feelings for his family and country, so he doesn't have any admiration and awe for those generals who defend his family and country.

He had only one uncle and one student.

He walked slowly out of his room, and now that he had made up his mind, he did not hesitate any longer, and went straight to the door of the dean's room.

He got down on his knees and made a serious salute.

This is a farewell.

went to assassinate the strongest man of the Beichang Empire, even he could not be sure of victory, and it was impossible for the Spirit Academy to protect him, no matter what the result was after tonight, it would be impossible for him to stay in the Spirit Academy again.

The sword was given by his uncle, so he couldn't die, he had to get that sword back. If he can't die, he can only succeed, even if he can't win, but he is very confident.

It's just reluctant to come to say goodbye.

After the salute, he slowly raised his head, the lights in the room had been rekindled, and Mu Lan didn't know when he stood in front of him.

In his hand, he held a ring ruler that was more than two feet long, and the ring ruler was not very smooth and flat, and even a little crooked.

Whether it was the half-hidden door or the gray cloak that Mu Lanzhou was wearing diagonally, it could be seen that he had just gotten up from bed.

But he had a ring ruler in his hand, it could not have been just brought back from the sect house, which could only mean that Mulan had put this ring ruler in his house in advance.

"Uncle, do you know what I'm going to do?" Yang Hejiu asked as he looked up at Mullan, who was standing in front of him.

"When you went back to the house just now, I went to the school house to get this ring ruler and stretched out my hand. Mu Lanzhou did not answer Yang Hejiu's question, but said to himself, but this sentence already showed that Mu Lan knew what he wanted to do.

Hitting the palm of the hand, this is the way that the gentleman of the Spirit Academy often uses to educate students, it is very simple and rude, but it is very effective, and many naughty students have succumbed to the obscenity of these two feet of precepts.

Being simple and rude is also the way that Mullanzhou likes, if he doesn't want to see him, let him go, even if he is the Lord of the Imperial History.

But it's just children who are educated, and it may seem a bit naïve if it is used for adults.

Having said that, what would happen if you were beaten by a powerhouse from the Wandering Realm?

Yang Hejiu raised his left hand and stretched out his palm.

Mu Lanzhou slowly put the ring ruler in his hand into Yang Hejiu's hand, then closed his hand, and then said: "This ring ruler is not perfect enough, you repair it more perfectly." ”

After Mu Lanzhou finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards the house, and when he pushed open the door, he paused and said, "You are not allowed to leave the Spirit Academy until you have finished your decorations. ”

"Yes, uncle. Yang Hejiu raised the ring ruler with both hands, bowed his head and said.

After speaking, he got up and went back to his room.

Looking at this ring ruler carefully, it is not perfect as Mullanzhou said, there are many scratches on the surface, and some are bent.

He's not a craftsman, he can't polish smooth, but he uses a sword, he can sharpen it smoother.

Yang Hejiu took a rope and carefully measured the curvature of the ruler on both sides, and found that it was impossible to flatten it at all, the ruler body was not thin, but it was not very thick, and it could not be as smooth and flat as both sides.

It was late at night, but Yang Hejiu still had no clue, he could figure out that this question would not be as simple as testing his swordsmanship, but he couldn't figure out how to hand in this answer sheet.

There are a lot of things he needs to do, and it is also very important, maybe Mullanzhou just randomly came up with a problem to trap him in the Spirit Academy, but that doesn't mean that he will choose to deal with this problem.

Tonight, some people have no sleep, and some people sleep peacefully.
