Datang Academy, many envoys from all over the world, surrounded at the foot of the back mountain, one by one stretched out their necks and probes, looking into the distance.

On the mountainside of the back mountain, three figures were limping along the stone path through the thin clouds and mist, towards the tree at the peak.

Xie Chengyun was still struggling to persevere, and when he saw the tree not far away, infinite hope rose in his heart.

There is not the end, but the next beginning. As the person with the highest cultivation level in the same class, there was no figure in front of him.

And not far behind Xie Chengyun, a figure that surprised everyone made the Tang people among the envoys rubbing their eyes in disbelief.

A middle-aged man in a brocade robe and a beautiful jade belt cried with joy.

"My son, you have to come on! As a father, he can help you get into the academy, but he can't help you get into the second floor. ”

The people around the middle-aged man all looked sideways after hearing this.

"Chu Xinyan, okay, you, this is how your kid originally entered the academy."

"Yes, Lao Chu, you are not sincere, Su Rili brother talks back and forth, you always say how good you are, it turns out that you are all bragging!"

The middle-aged man wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said impatiently: "You guys, Lao Tzu's son is not excellent, can he be ranked second?" ”

Everyone was speechless, looking at the merry boy who was still chasing the talented man of the Southern Jin Dynasty in the mountaineering, and they fell into despair.

As a merchant family in Chang'an City, these people's understanding of each other is far beyond the imagination of others.

In the entire Chang'an City, no one knows that Chu Youxian, the son of the Chu family, is a scourge to play urine. A ten-year-old child often goes in and out of Willow Lane, Huajie, and at the age of 14, relying on his family's wealth, he forcibly entered the red sleeves.

Now 18 years old, he lingers in the red sleeves every day.

As a businessman, he has always been mercenary, and in addition to profit, I am afraid that the inheritance of each family is the most important.

As a big businessman in Chang'an City, the Chu family is a very shrewd person whether it is Chu Xinyan's father or Chu Xinyan himself.

And Chu Youxian, three generations later, who could only shake his head and make fun of him when everyone mentioned it half a year ago, can only watch that back go farther and farther.

Chu Youxian climbed the mountain, and the climb was very smooth, as if some disciples on the second floor took good care of him.

Whether it is Ning Que behind Chu Youxian, or Xie Chengyun in front of him, or others who are far behind.

All of them were sweaty and pale, and some of them were blinded and colorless. What's more, on the way to the mountain, he was carried down the mountain by four managers who were familiar with the old bookstore on that desperate wooden stretcher.

On the other hand, Chu Youxian, although he was a little out of breath, his expression was the same, and he still had a lewd smile on his face.

Looking at his body, there is no scar, and there is no sense of tiredness and fatigue.

Although he fell behind Xie Chengyun, everyone knew that he was probably not doing his best.

As students who entered the academy at the same time, everyone knew very well that the top five students in this issue were always hovering between King Xie Cui and Chuning.

In terms of cultivation, Xie Chengyun is worthy of being a genius of the Southern Jin Dynasty, he had entered the cave as early as three months ago, and now he is afraid that he has reached the upper realm.

In terms of ascension, Ning Que went from being a waste wood that could not practice to stepping on countless geniuses in just three months. Now I have also entered the realm of the cave!

And his superb calligraphy is amazing, and he has long been famous in the Tang Dynasty.

Reasonable, he can be worthy of the title of genius.

The remaining three are relatively poor. Therefore, the first name in the hearts of all students is pressed on these two people.

But today's mountaineering, Chu Youxian's leisurely stroll made everyone surprised.

When Xie Chengyun was the first to reach the tree, Chu Youxian quickened his pace.

Ning Que, who followed closely, pursed his lips, looked at Chu Youxian, who was quite dashing, and secretly scolded angrily in his heart.

As a traverser, Ning Que naturally understands the truth of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger.

He already had a deep understanding of Chu Youxian, the darling of Haotian, so he didn't feel surprised.

Just ask the whole world, who can break the door of cultivation without knowing it, let alone when he entered the first acquaintance when he experienced the joy of fish and water on a woman's soft couch.

Not long after the first acquaintance, this thing has no intention of cultivating, loves Hongchen alone, and looks like a swinger all day long. Rao is like this, but his cultivation is still improving rapidly.

said that he was not Haotian's favorite person, who would believe it.

Ning Que even wondered for a while if Chu Youxian had learned some strange cultivation method in the Red Sleeve Move. It's like a method of collecting yin and supplementing yang that has appeared in various martial arts novels in the previous life.

can think of the transcendent peerlessness of the academy, it should not condone the disciple to practice such a dirty method, so he let go of the idea of finding out.

Ignoring Ning Que, Xie Chengyun under the tree had already left, but as soon as he took a step, he directly looked at him, swallowed foam, and fainted on the hillside.

Seeing this, Chu Youxian hurriedly came to his side, and after careful inspection, he confirmed that it was only the exhaustion of Yuan Force, so he picked it up and placed it in front of the tree.

Chu Youxian glanced at the increasingly dense mist, a hint of clarity flashed in his eyes, and then he turned to look at Ning Que.

"Ning Que, you're really too slow."

Ning Que was in a hurry, and he already had a somewhat uneven breath, and he almost lost his breath when he heard the words.

"What's the use of being fast? Slow means long-lasting, fast can only show that you are incompetent! ”

"Hey, Master Ning, what you said is very inappropriate, Young Master Ben is a little bee in the flowers, and the flowers and plants he sees can be called a garden. If a person like me were incompetent, the girls in the willow alleys of Flower Street would have already avoided it. ”

"The girls took the money, so naturally they didn't say much. Those people wish you could be faster so that you could make more money. ”

…………

The two laughed and cursed, and continued to move forward from under the tree.

On the mountain peak, Li slowly watched the corners of the two of them smile on their lips, and Jun Mo still had a serious face. It's just the sparkle in his eyes that betrays the true thoughts in his heart.

The wooden sleeve that controlled the cloud and mist array, seeing that the two of them were so relaxed, also smiled slightly, and his subordinates controlled the Yuan Force gradually increased.

Seeing that the wooden sleeves were like this, Fan Yue also grabbed a handful of iron nails and scattered them on the mountain and river plate.

The clouds and mist in the mountains are thicker, and the rocks under your feet are sharper. The joke between the two teenagers also disappeared unconsciously.

On the other side, an ox cart is moving steadily on a rough dirt road.

The two girls on the ox cart looked at the slightly dilapidated city wall in front of them, and each was speechless.

The ox cart walked very slowly, and it took half an hour to walk a hundred zhang before it came to the city gate.

Qinghe County, as a border city in the south of the Tang Dynasty, has been plagued by bandits and robbers all year round. Therefore, after Mo Shanshan collected the secret letter from the military headquarters in his hand, he raised his head and saw the devastated city wall.

As a border city of a country, there will be bandits, and these bandits usually hide in the peaks on both sides of the Qingxia outside the Guan.

Whenever there is a good harvest of grain, it is a time for those rogues to make trouble.

Although there were defenders in Qinghe County, there were only a few thousand people.

Why is there only a thousand defenders in a border city? Because Qingxia outside Qinghe County, there is a large army stationed.

This army is called the Zhennan Army! The general who led the army was Xu Shi, the general of Zhenguo.

In the past 20 years, cholera has occurred from time to time.

Although the Tang Emperor was angry, he was afraid of the continuous mountains outside the Qingxia, which was not conducive to the battle of the army, so he kept changing his methods to quell the trouble.

Five years ago, a small village was attacked by rogues hidden in the Qingxia Gorge, killing and wounding nearly half of the village's population.

This grain robbery incident that affected hundreds of people made the Tang Emperor unbearable.

In a fit of rage, he ordered the Zhennan Army, which was stationed not far from Qinghe County, to go south to Qingxia and enter the mountains to suppress bandits.

After the army was ordered, it went south, and General Xu Shi personally led tens of thousands of soldiers into the mountains to suppress bandits.

In that battle, the Zhennan army broke 3,000 enemies and killed and wounded more than 2,000 horsemen.

Although the thieves stopped, the cholera thieves fled surrounded by a large army. The general Xu Shi put on armor and went into battle and found the head of the thief in a certain mountain pass.

Xu Shi is not bad as the general of the imperial town, and his cultivation has already reached the peak of martial arts, but the thief head is also extraordinary, and the two of them started a big battle in the mountain col.

Although General Xu Shi is brave and invincible, the thief is good at the first body, and he is better at borrowing in the jungle and mountains. When the two were fighting, the thief leader succeeded in a sneak attack, and Xu Shi was seriously injured by carelessness, and then found the right time to slap the thief head on the spot.

Since then, the invincible general of Zhenguo has fallen ill, and the mountains on both sides of the Qingxia have been pacified.

After the suppression of bandits, General Xu Shi wrote to himself to ask to be stationed in Qingxia to protect the peace of hundreds of thousands of people in Qinghe County.

Before the arrival of the Zhennan army, Qinghe County was often attacked by bandits, so they left that trace.

Mo Shanshan is not a Tang person, and Ye Hongyu is naturally not either, so the two of them don't know why they are here. But as the three idiots in the world, both of them are people with clear minds, so they won't dwell too much on this matter.

Seeing the arrival of the garrison sergeant, Mo Shanshan silently took out the pass order issued by the military headquarters from his sleeve. The sergeant held up the fold and scrutinized it.

"The two of you are from Chang'an City?"

Ye Hongyu ignored it, and Mo Shanshan nodded silently.

The sergeant looked at the name on the pass, frowned silently, and put his right hand behind his back, making small movements that he thought were very hidden in front of the eyes of the two great cultivators.

Mo Shanshan was speechless, and Ye Hongyu sneered. The sergeant handed the order back, and the ox cart slowly passed through the city gates.

"Hurry up and inform Captain Cui that someone from the academy has come to Qinghe County."

The sergeant's words came from his ears, and Ye Hongyu glanced at Moshan Mountain, who was closing his eyes and contemplating, with a calm face.

"As a big family in Qinghe County, the Cui family is not trivial. Old lady Cui is also a guest in Xiling, and the old guy's cultivation has reached the peak of knowing his fate. I don't know why you're here, I just want you to understand that he is not an enemy of you and me! ”

Mo Shanshan was not surprised by this, except for the sadness in his eyes, his face was calm.

Ye Hongyu snorted coldly and closed his eyes dissatisfied.

"Cui Ming, the youngest son of the Cui family, is a disciple of the academy. He is now trapped in Cui's Mansion and cannot get out. ”

Ye Hongyu sneered, looked at Mo Shanshan, and said, "Ordinary academy disciples are worthy of Mr. Houshan Fourteen coming in person?" ”

Mo Shanshan was silent for a few breaths, looking at the blue sky from afar, and seemed to mutter: "He is the disciple of the fourth senior brother." ”

Ye Hongyu understood, looked at the few white clouds hanging in the sky, looked down at the broken sword at his waist, and silently held it in front of his leg.
