Chapter Twenty-Four: Be a Master

Bai Molou's words sounded like a compliment, but his tone was mocking, and the sneer on the corner of his mouth made the hot weather even colder.

Xu Mingyuan knew that Bai Molou was ridiculed because he made a rash move and completely offended Li Lixin and others. However, he pretended not to hear the meaning of Bai Molou's words, took a sip of the herbal tea on the low table, smiled and waved his hand: "It's average, this herbal tea in Zuixiaolou is good, Xiaobai, you can also drink some fire." ”

Bai Molou didn't take over the conversation, but continued to sneer: "Li Lixin's father is the deputy protector of Chengdu Mansion, the Li family is not small in Jiannan Province, Li Lixin and I are not right, and my Bai family is not afraid of the Li family, so Li Lixin can't do anything to me."

But you are different, you know the things of Zeng Qingyi and yours yourself, not to mention that there is no trace of the eight characters now, that is, Master Zeng wants to protect you, with the master's indifferent style of doing things over the years, I am afraid it will not be good to protect you for a while. ”

Zhou Binjie sat aside, stopped talking, glanced at Xu Mingyuan, and then at Baimolou, and after thinking about it, he still picked up the teacup and lowered his head to drink tea.

Xu Mingyuan also knew that Bai Molou was for his own good, so he groaned for a while, and explained: "It's not forced by the situation, it's just that I didn't make a move just now, Brother Wei was able to block that Shen Fei, and because of me, the Bai family made the Li family evil, and I was also uneasy." Showing a little fangs appropriately also saves everyone from treating me as a soft persimmon and pinching it at every turn. ”

Xu Mingyuan paused, and said with a smile: "And I also want to try how high the third-grade master is, but when I look at it today, it's actually not very high." ”

Hearing this, Bai Molou's face softened slightly, holding the teacup, rubbing his fingers lightly on the edge of the cup, nodded and said: "Li Lixin will definitely not give up on today's matter, but don't worry too much, you are now a student of the academy, and you can pull the tiger skin of the Zeng family, and my Bai family is standing behind me, so Li Lixin will not act rashly if you think about it." ”

Hearing this, Xu Mingyuan asked with some doubts: "The students of the academy don't have to be afraid of Li Lixin's move, why is this?" ”

"In order to ensure that the students of the academies can study with peace of mind, the Yuntai Divisions in various places are specially ordered to pay close attention to the academies in various places, and if there is any oppression and killing of the students of the academies, it will be punished as a capital crime." Bai Molou took a sip of herbal tea and explained.

"Gitai Division?" Xu Mingyuan thought lightly, but he didn't know much about the official system in the Dawan Dynasty, only that there were three provinces and six departments in the court, and each province had a jiedu envoy as the main official, and each prefecture and county under it had a county order of assassination. Xu Mingyuan had never heard of this cloud machine, but since Bai Molou said this, even Li Lixin was afraid of it, and he must have a lot of power.

"Yuntai Division directly belongs to the emperor, although its status is not as good as the six departments, but it has the right to make decisions, but most of the things it does are in the dark, so its reputation is not obvious." Bai Molou continued.

Xu Mingyuan nodded, didn't ask any more, looked at a poem written in scribbled like splashed ink on the wall, and was slightly stunned.

Over the years, Xu Mingyuan has seen too many powerful characters, not to mention the poetry and sword fairy Li Taibai who taught him a flying sword on the grassland, he also saw Nanzhao Wang Juelefeng back then, and drank wine in the same account with the Tubo princess, the son of the deputy governor of Chengdu Mansion, in fact, he really didn't pay attention to it.

For Xu Mingyuan, what the master said last time was not right. Although he felt that the master did not take him through any real rivers and lakes, every time he traveled, he deceived the past along the way, and the people he deceived were indeed very high, which made Xu Mingyuan's vision become very high.

However, today's matter, Bai Molou's serious expression also reminded him that he was far from being a natural god like his master. And the people who have to face now are no longer those passers-by who forget about each other after one side, even if they are just a child of an ordinary family, compared to him, a shabby Taoist priest in the eyes of outsiders, his status is much higher.

After entering the academy and embarking on the road of the imperial examination, it is no longer a river and lake. Dealing with the world, there are many more rules, and you can't exceed the rules at will.

Those who can be ignored in the past, it seems that they should still pay attention to a little bit in the future, so as not to fall into the Tao without knowing it and causing unnecessary trouble.

Seeing that Xu Mingyuan didn't speak, Bai Molou looked at the scenery of Beixin Lake outside the window, and was also silent.

Although Tianxiao Pavilion is on the top floor, there is actually a half-story empty attic on the top, and the eaves are cleverly designed to block the scorching sun. Moreover, there are three pots of ice cubes in the room, which makes the entire Tianxiao Pavilion feel a little cool, and it doesn't feel hot at all. This ice cube is said to have been dug into the ground by Zuixiao Tower to a depth of more than ten zhang and specially stored.

The wine and food were served one after another after a while, and Xu Mingyuan also withdrew his gaze from the wild grass that was so old that it was difficult to distinguish the names of the people written, and even the poems were covered by the latecomers, and pulled Bai Molou and Zhou Binjie to the table with a smile.

Bai Molou is cold and hot, Xu Mingyuan naturally knows it, otherwise he would not be guilty of tearing his face with Li Lixin for a person like him who has only known him for three days and has no power and power.

Xu Mingyuan figured it out, above the temple, even if you have three grades of kung fu, you are just a slightly powerful chess piece in the hands of others, and you will not enter the eyes of the family at all.

Since it has been decided to enter the government by the imperial examination, not to mention whether he will be able to enter the rivers and lakes in the future, how can he mix with the masters, and anyone in the province will dare to come up and tease and threaten.

The wine and food were all together, Xu Mingyuan let the little guy go down first, and the three of them had three glasses of wine, and the conversation box slowly opened.

After all, they are all young people, and they have been drinking together every day these days, and they will soon sweep away the previous unhappiness.

Zhou Binjie added a piece of sauced beef and put it in his mouth and chewed it, and said with a smile: "Brother Yuan, I didn't expect you to be not only good at debate, but also so good at kung fu, Li Lixin put it down with one punch, not to mention, even the third-grade master is not your opponent, could it be that you are already a second-grade little grandmaster?" ”

"What is the second grade, if it weren't for Shen Fei to abandon the knife and not use it, the victory or defeat is still two, I don't think there will be any three grades." Bai Molou drank the wine in his cup in one gulp, and said in a cold voice.

"He didn't use a sword, and I didn't use a sword." Xu Mingyuan replied with a smile, paused and shook his head again: "The second-grade little grandmaster is still far away, and the third-grade is indeed almost hot." However, I think Shen Fei's three-grade realm is estimated to have a lot of water, and if it is replaced by Brother Wei, then I am not very sure. ”

The three of them looked at Wei Tong who was standing aside at the same time, and Zhou Binjie said with a smile: "Wei Tong, you said that if you fight with Brother Yuan, who will win and who will lose?" ”

Wei Tong looked at Xu Mingyuan and said: "If it is an ordinary competition, Xu Gongzi will lose within a hundred moves, and if it is a fight between life and death, he will die within ten moves." ”

"You really don't save me any face." Xu Mingyuan smiled and shook his head, but he still agreed with Wei Tong's words.

Wei Tong's strength is indeed much stronger than Shen Fei, and killing people on the battlefield is not comparable to Xu Mingyuan, who has never fought with life and death, this is the real three-grade strength.

The three of them continued to drink, and Xu Mingyuan also wanted Wei Tong and Zhou Binjie's wooden-looking family to drink two glasses together, but they were all politely rejected by the two, and the big family does have its rules.

The pot of ten-year-old daughter red given by the shopkeeper Huang is indeed a good wine, and the three of them are already drunk after drinking a pot of wine.

Bai Molou drank all the wine in the cup, put it on the table, smiled rarely, looked at Xu Mingyuan and said: "If you don't do it today, in fact, I also plan to let Wei Tong teach Li Lixin a lesson, if I know martial arts, I will step on his face today and tell him that this Shuzhou City is not a place where he can be powerful and prosperous." ”

"Bai Molou, it's really rare that you can say this kind of thing that makes me feel okay, I salute you." Hearing this, Zhou Binjie's eyes widened, and he picked up his wine glass and said to Bai Molou.

Bai Molou poured a full cup and drank it all with Zhou Binjie.

When Xu Mingyuan heard this, he was also slightly stunned, he didn't expect Bai Molou, whose mind was far beyond that of his peers, would say such a thing. But this sounds really crazy and manly.

In Xu Mingyuan's view, Bai Molou's intelligence goes without saying, he was able to win the first place in the academy debate for three consecutive years, and his reputation was even shocked by Chang'an Guozijian, which shows his high talent.

What's even more rare is that Bai Molou is only seventeen years old, has a deep family background, but has no arrogance, giving people a sense of wisdom and calmness. It was when he said the arrogant words of death and Wenzheng, Xu Mingyuan didn't feel that he was talking big.

However, Xu Mingyuan actually had some doubts in his heart, and after thinking about it, he still looked at Bai Molou and asked: "Xiaobai, your Bai family general has been replaced, and even Li Lixin has practiced a few hands and three-legged cat kung fu, why don't you practice martial arts?" ”

Bai Molou put down the wine glass, lightly knocked his fingers on the tabletop, was silent for a while, shook his head and said: "I have been weak since I was a child, I can't practice martial arts, and the imperial doctor in the palace doesn't know why." ”

Xu Mingyuan looked at the regret that flashed on Bai Molou's face, and said seriously: "You have time to go up the mountain to meet my master, although he doesn't have a few words of truth in his mouth, but his knowledge is really not shallow, maybe he can see what the reason is." ”

"At this age, it is already past the age of martial arts, and if you enter the court as an official and worship the prime minister, how can it be better to go to the battlefield to fight and fight the general." Bai Molou said freely, his eyes were full of convincing.

Seeing this, Xu Mingyuan was not reluctant, and the three of them talked about some gossip again, and chatted about the debate in the morning. Today is to celebrate Xu Mingyuan's victory in the debate, so I came to Tianxiao Pavilion to drink.

Xu Mingyuan also told the two of them about some of the scenery and folk customs of Nanzhao, as well as some rare Gu insects in Dawan, and some backward and closed tribes.

After the two knew that Xu Mingyuan had been to Nanzhao, they also showed some understanding, otherwise Xu Mingyuan would not have known Nanzhao so well.

Because it was noon, he didn't get drunk, and after he was full of wine and food, Xu Mingyuan asked the little guy to pack a few dishes on the table that didn't move chopsticks, carrying a wine jug and three tied oil paper bags, and the three of them walked out of the drunken sky building with a lot of strange eyes and the smiling smile of the yellow shopkeeper.
