Ye Hongyu raised his eyebrows, looked at Mo Shanshan who was deep in thought, and continued to ask.

"How is Cui Ming now? Did Mrs. Cui return from Xiling? ”

"The fifth brother doesn't know where he is trapped, and his grandfather hasn't returned yet, if he returns, he won't interfere if he wants to come to his old man's house......"

Mo Shanshan paced, turned his back to Cui Yi and whispered, "I already know about this. Cui Yi, as a disciple of the fourth senior brother, naturally can't be trapped here all the time. As for how your Cui family is, I have no intention of interfering. ”

After Cui Yi heard this, the whole person froze in place. He was struck by Mr. Fourteen's understatement.

Lao Wu is actually a person on the second floor? His master turned out to be Mr. Four?

That Tang Ning, who went to Xiling Peach Mountain alone, slashed the peach blossoms with a sword, and caused hundreds of deaths and injuries in Xiling?

Cui Yi stood on the spot, and the thoughts in his head became chaotic at this moment.

Mr. Four. Mr. Four. Why is it Mr. Four, and how good it would be if it was Mr. Big.

Cui Yi smiled bitterly, bowed and left.

As a sergeant of the Tang Dynasty, Cui Yi naturally understands that Tang Ning is powerful, but no matter how powerful he is, isn't it equivalent to death if he ascends to the sky?

A dead disciple on the second floor of the academy can play a far less role than Mr. Big at the moment.

Thinking of Mo Shanshan and Ye Hongyu's always cold and calm looks, Cui Yi sighed and muttered, "Fifth brother, the fourth brother has done everything he can." However, Haotian didn't allow it, I think if you knew that Mr. Four had ascended to the sky, you would be very sad. ”

Mo Shanshan behind him naturally knew what Cui Yi's bitter smile was interesting. It's just that as a bookworm, she doesn't like to explain.

And Tang Ning's ascension to heaven is a fact, although Mo Shanshan has always believed that he will return safely. But in the face of reality, I hope has lost all its persuasiveness!

Ye Hongyu, who was on the side, silently pulled out the broken sword, wiped it with his sleeve, and said coldly: "It seems that Datang is not an iron plate." This small Qinghe County is really exciting. ”

In Qinghe County, next to Liyang Road, there are rows of quaint old houses. Among them, a four-storey mansion near the center of the city is hung with a plaque of Cuifu.

Under the gilded letters, there are two tall and heavy vermilion gates. In front of the door, a pair of white stone lions standing on the left and right. Behind the stone lions, two guards stood next to two huge bluestone pillars.

The open door was filled with servants coming in and out. In the main hall of Cui's mansion, placed directly above is the case tribute of pale golden silk nanmu, and there is an incense burner on the case tribute, and the aroma of the stove is slowly rising.

Under the case tribute, there are four pairs of rosewood tables and chairs, and on each square table, there is a tea set made of the same purple sand porcelain, which looks very elegant and quiet.

Two young men dressed in gorgeous brocade robes stood at the foot of the hall.

Among them, the one in white clothes and wearing dark green jade on his waist is Cui Ren, the second son of the Cui family. When Cui Li was there, he was the financial director of the Cui family, and now that Cui Li is in prison, he has become the head of the Cui family as he wished.

The young man standing beside Cui Ren was born with long and narrow eyebrows, slightly raised eyes, and a cyan brocade robe, revealing the elegance of reading the scriptures. This person is Cui Zhi, the third son of the Cui family, who was the chief secretary of Qinghe County at the time.

The two stood in front of the main hall, silently staring at the middle hall above the high hanging tribute.

"Huai Ruozhu is near the river, and the air is quiet in the spring breeze."

In the middle hall, the couplet is written, and the horizontal batch is written by the old lady herself.

"Tranquility and far-reaching."

The maids outside the lobby walked lightly, and the servants talked softly, and even chose to remain silent when they passed by the main hall, as if they were afraid of disturbing the thoughts of the two young masters.

Outside the gate of Cui's mansion, an old butler dressed in brocade and wearing a square hat came slowly.

"Second Young Master, Third Young Master, there is news below. The fourth young master went to the Chengbei Post House today. ”

Cui Ren turned around, gently turned the wrench on the thumb of his left hand with his right hand, and said with a faint smile: "The fourth child really can't help it." ”

Cui Zhi frowned, looked at the confident second brother, and said, "Second brother, I heard that the people from the academy this time are not ordinary students, don't underestimate them." ”

"No matter who comes from, as long as Cui Ming is still the Cui family, as long as he still has the blood of the Cui family flowing in his body, the academy can't forcibly take people away."

"But Mr. Fourteen is a Knowing Destiny Realm Rune Master, and the person who followed her was thought to be a Dao idiot Ye Hongyu. If these two people are angry and embarrassed, with the people sent by Xiling, I am afraid it will be difficult to resist. ”

Cui Ren glanced at Cui Zhi and looked very dissatisfied.

"The third child, do you know that Mo Shanshan is a bookworm, and since he is a bookworm, he is naturally a reasonable person. My Cui family has been convincing people with reason since my grandfather, and if the theory is not enough, it will be annoyed and angry, and it is naturally the academy that is ashamed. ”

Since she is a bookworm, she naturally understands this truth. As for Ye Hongyu, my Cui family has no enmity with her in the past, and there is no injustice in the near future, so naturally I will not make an enmity with my grandfather for the sake of the disciples of the academy. ”

"Ye Hongyu is a smart person, and Mo Shanshan is also a smart person, so you naturally need to use smart methods to deal with smart people. The eldest has cultivated to the pinnacle of Dongxuan, and the fourth has also touched the threshold of the upper realm of Dongxuan, but now it is I who is standing in this mansion and giving orders. ”

The five sons of the Cui family are different, Cui Li Shanren, Cui Ren Shanzhi, Cui Zhishanshu, Cui Yi is good at fighting, and Cui Ming is good at playing.

But in fact, the boss Cui Li, in addition to a strong cultivation and benevolence to others, also has a resourcefulness that others do not have.

The second child, Cui Ren, seems to be good and wise, but in fact, he has repeatedly fallen behind in the struggle for power and profit with Cui Li.

In addition, Cui Ren is scheming, unscrupulous, and even more ruthless.

Why was Cui Ming's assessment so thrilling back then, it was nothing more than that Cui Ren wanted to take the opportunity to get rid of Cui Ming, who might affect the balance.

And after this record failed, he began to instigate and guide the young Cui Ming, making Cui Ming a gentleman who can only eat, drink and have fun.

Since then, the old lady has been extremely disappointed with Cui Ming's performance. Seeing this, Cui Ren gradually let down his guard and began to ignore the useless and weak old five.

But the development of the situation soon exceeded expectations, Cui Ming first got the qualification for the academy examination from Cui Li, and then got the approval of Mrs. Cui, and was about to go to Chang'an City.

Cui Ren, who realized it later, was annoyed by this. contacted the county guard privately and deliberately prevented Cui Ming from leaving the city.

But what he didn't expect was that the fourth child, who had always been very cold to Cui Ming, even bad, dared to secretly let Cui Ming out of the city.

As the person who contacted Xiling and the Cui family, when Cui Ren learned that the old guy was about to leave for Xiling, he began to secretly contact Xiling.

Xu exchanged for Xiling's support after giving generous gifts, seriously injured Cui Li, and then teamed up with the county guard to put the boss Cui Ligou in prison.

After that, he fornicated with the military department and demoted the fourth child from the captain of the Qinghe County garrison to the captain of the city guard.

At this time, Cui Ming returned to Qinghe County, and Cui Ren naturally took down this restless old five.

Now that the balance of the situation has been broken, Cui Ren thinks that he has won a big victory, so he sneers at Mr. Fourteen of the Academy, who is about to come to the door.

This is not because Cui Ren is arrogant, but because he knows the academy well enough, and he also understands the bookworm Mo Shanshan.

Thinking that the current situation was good, Cui Ren smiled at the corner of his mouth, turned around, and sat on the main seat.

…………

In the Tang Palace, Tang Emperor Li Zhongyi looked at the mountains of folds in his hands, and rubbed his forehead very tiredly.

"Brother Huang, my brother thinks that the situation at this time is very urgent for my Tang Dynasty. There are Xiling in the south, desolate people in the north, Yan Wang in the east, and moon rings in the west. ”

"Although my Tang Kingdom is strong and strong, and the soldiers of the army are brave and good at fighting, they are still lacking in skills in the face of such a situation."

Tang Huang closed his eyes, still rubbing his forehead, and said, "Pei Yan, I understand what you mean." Now the situation is like a bow full of strings, my Tang Guonan has always been brave, and so are the generals, but after all, two fists are hard to beat four hands, and I am also worried about the lack of troops. ”

When Li Peiyan heard this, his brows furrowed slightly, he looked at the imperial brother, and said loudly after groaning: "Imperial brother, forgive the courtier's rudeness." The situation is far from simple. I may not be afraid of the army, but what about cultivators? ”

"Those great cultivators who are the ones who move to be the biggest threat to my Tang Kingdom. According to the analysis of the younger brothers, the Hanging Temple has sent disciples to enter the world, and there is no need to say much about Xiling, and there are also remnants of the Demon Sect in the Golden Horde Court among the desolate people. I'm Datang..."

"Enough! Pei Yan, what about ordinary sergeants, and what about cultivators? ”

Emperor Tang stood up from the dragon chair, walked down the steps step by step, came to Li Peiyan's side, and said lightly: "I know, you want the academy to come forward." ”

"I know it's not just you, it's a lot of people who think the same way. But after all, the Tang Dynasty is the world of the Tang people, and the academy is the academy of the people of the world. Will you be unclear about this reasoning? ”

"Brother Huang, my brother understands. However, the academy was established in the Tang Dynasty, and now the situation is even more because of the four gentlemen of the academy. Why is the College so self-reliant? In such a situation, why do they always hide? ”

Looking at the look of indignation on Li Peiyan's face, Emperor Tang chuckled, patted the prince on the shoulder, and said, "The academy has decided to send this year's admitted students to the Zhennan Army. ”

Li Peiyan was speechless when he heard this, and after thinking for a moment, he spoke again: "Brother Huang, you are just a newly admitted student, how can you compete with the wolves?" As far as my brother knows......"

"Pei Yan, do you want to say that the 14 disciples in the second floor will go down the mountain?"

Seeing Li Peiyan nodding, Emperor Tang shook his head and chuckled, and then spoke: "The fourth junior brother was in Nanying County a few days ago, and he was tricked by Xiling to ascend to heaven, and this matter is known to the world. ”

"And Xiling took this opportunity to send troops to attack the Tang Dynasty, which is nothing more than knowing and guarding the order. Although I am not a cultivator, and I have never seen the fourth junior brother ascend to heaven, I know that it is only the fourth junior brother who ascends to heaven, and Xiling does not dare to do such a thing. ”

"I understand that you are all hiding from me, and you are afraid that I will not be able to stand it and fall. But I have a brain, and I naturally understand that the teacher may have already followed the fourth junior brother to the sky. ”

Seeing Li Peiyan's somewhat surprised look, Tang Huang coughed softly and continued slowly.

"I'm fine, I'm the backbone of the Tang Dynasty, and I can't fall yet. Since the teacher and the fourth junior brother have ascended to the sky, the senior brothers on the second floor will naturally not sit idly by. ”

"Don't forget, Datang is not only the Tang of my Li family, nor is it only the Tang of the people of the world, Datang is the Tang of the academy!"

"Brother ...... Emperor"

Li Peiyan looked at the imperial brother who was cheering himself up, and suddenly felt that everything in the past was just illusory.

"Pei Yan, I know that you are dedicated to maintaining Datang, but as long as the academy exists for a day, you will protect Datang for a day."
