After a little time, one of the officials took the fat man away, and the remaining one stayed where he was.

Soon, he called Leng Mian and the young man over and told them: "Well, that guy just now, he came to the martial arts academy to study before yesterday, a typical lazy ghost, he didn't do anything when he came, he didn't follow the training, he barely passed the basic assessment, and he didn't get mixed with the war marquis, after that, he didn't want to go back to being a farmer, perhaps, he was lazy and used to it, and he couldn't change it, so he chose to be a robber around here, this situation has also happened outside, but it still happens a lot in the martial arts academy." ”

"Oh, that's right. Leng Mian said.

"I'm really sorry, because I and the other person in charge are outside, and I thought that at this time, he wouldn't—I didn't expect him to dare to mess around today, I'm really sorry. ”

"It's fine. ”

"But I remember he had an accomplice? didn't he come this time?" said the official, scratching his head.

"I ran, I ran early, I don't know where I got out. Leng Mian said loudly.

"By the way, you're the martial arts wizard, did you stop him at that time?" the official looked at him and asked.

When Leng Mian heard this, he panicked, he had a good face, so he pretended to be confident and said: "When, of course, it's a pity that that guy slipped away quickly, and if he wasn't careful, he let him run away." ”

Actually, the pony slipped away on his own, and when he slipped away, Leng Mian didn't stop him, what Leng Mian said was actually a lie, and the reason why he didn't want people to know what he really wanted was because he didn't want to be called a waste, which would not only embarrass himself, but also make his mother lose face.

"Sure enough, he is a talented person, and he is calm in the face of robbers. ”

"Yes, yes. Leng Mian humbly accepted the praise, and glanced at the young man from time to time, because his own embarrassing appearance was clearly seen by the young man, but, from just now to now, the guy has not spoken, Leng Mian saw that he did not expose his meaning, and his hanging heart was relaxed.

"Do you have any financial losses?"

"Nope. Leng Mian hurriedly said.

"What about the young master?" said the junior officer politely to the young man.

"It's fine. ”

Leng Mian was stunned, pointed at the young man and asked, "He is a young master, what young master?"

"He, it's Young Master Aojie, it's the Gongsun nobleman of Jing Kingdom, his father Gongsun Mingwen is a sixth-order official, that's a big official who can sit on the same stage as the war marquis, but it's not comparable to a first-order official like us. He touted, "Oh, yes, you just came to the Martial Arts Academy, and you don't know what an official rank is, so I'll tell you now, there are seven levels of official ranks, and the higher you go, the bigger and richer the official, hehe." ”

On the four planets, the official rank is a symbol of status, and it can also be a symbol of strength and power, and the rank is from one to seven, to the top of seven, and after seven, it is called "emperor", for example: eighth-order emperor.

The so-called "emperor" is called, so needless to say, it is the king of a land, the status is very high, the king of a country, is called the emperor, go up, those countless strong people, also called the emperor, the emperor's order, there are three orders, respectively, eight, nine, ten, however, there are gossips that the emperor has four orders, and eleven, for this rumor, I don't know whether it is true or false.

At this time, the words of the official reached Aojie's ears, and Aojie showed some disgust, and he said: "Boring." ”

After saying that, he took the book and went into the house.

"Alas, don't go, young master. The official couldn't stop him, so he could only watch him enter the room, and after that, he patted Leng Mian's shoulder, "Wizard, you also have to work hard, and when you become a war lord in the future, the whole pineapple will be honored with you." ”

"Hmm...... Well. Leng Mian's answer was not so particularly confident, probably because he was frustrated by the robbers.

The official turned around, checked the situation of the earthen wall, and saw the big pit that was sunken, he sighed: "Hey, such a deep pit, Young Master Aojie is really it, hey, I have to pay for it to repair it myself." ”

Leng Mian looked at the surrounding rooms, there were four rooms in total, the numbers were one, two, three, and four, and the room with the number "four" written on it was sealed with wooden nails, and there was a yellow note with the word "seal" on it.

The official shook his head and left temporarily, he just walked a few seconds, from the corner, a figure walked over, a cold face looked, very familiar, he is Chu Zhengchun, compared to the eight-year-old child, now he is much stronger, only fifteen years old already has the body of a middle-aged man.

The two are old friends, and as soon as they meet, they greet each other.

"Chu Zhengchun, are you here too?"

"It's been a long time, I'm so happy to see you. ”

When Chu Zhengchun said, he had already walked to his side.

"Me too. With a smile on his face, he pinched Chu Zhengchun's arm, "By the way, what about Pingzi and Bao?"

"Hey, don't mention it, they don't come here even if they are killed, they have to obediently choose to go home and farm, it's really useless. ”

"By the way, where do you live?"

"Room three. Chu Zhengchun smiled, "What's the matter?" are you going to go in and sit?"

"Let's go. ”

They went in, and inside the room, there were three beds, a window, and they could see the training ground, and there was a row of flowers and plants outside the window, and there was no one else in the dormitory except the two of them.

Chu Zhengchun stared at Leng Mian, his face was a little gloomy, and he whispered, "Leng Mian, what's the matter-"

"Don't worry, I didn't mention it to anyone. ”

"That's good, that's a friend. When Chu Zhengchun heard the answer, his mood suddenly brightened.

Leng Mian said again: "However, after you and I become war candidates, even if we say it, we don't have to be afraid at all." ”

"There's nothing to be afraid of, and besides, who would be afraid of such a cheap life here. ”

"That's right, but without the identity of a war marquis, if someone knows that he killed someone, he will definitely run into a prison!"

"If you don't say it, no one knows, now I don't make trouble, I won't add a new account, those who can enter the martial arts academy are by no means beggars, and I will never make much fire when treating them. ”

"In that case, it's the best!"

After the matter was discussed, they talked about the interesting things that happened in their childhood, what was caught stealing other people's melons, what borrowed bamboo poles from the old man to dig birds' nests, and so on, and so on, it was actually some boring deeds that hurt eggs, and they also talked about Tomoko, and talked about him once, he planted his head in the paddy field, and his face was muddy, and when he remembered that scene, the two of them laughed out loud.

After a while, the laughter stopped, and Chu Zhengchun asked, "By the way, is Youzi coming?"

"This, I don't know, alas. ”

"What? You're small, don't you know?"

"The last few times I've been looking for him, I haven't been there, and I don't know what the hell he's doing!"

"Hey, although I don't know which tendon is wrong with that kid of Tomoko, I've liked to meddle since I was a child, and I have a lot of things in the way, which makes me very upset, but everyone is a friend, and I still hope he can come. ”

"Well, me too. ”

Chatting and chatting, there are newcomers in the room, Chu Zhengchun's No. 3 room, two people came in, one is called Lu Da, the other is called Bizi, a few people chatted a few words, and learned that the No. 1 room was inhabited by two female students.

When he went back, Aojie was lying on the bed reading a book, and when he saw this, he walked to his bedside and said to him, "Thank you for not exposing me just now." ”

Aojie glanced at Leng Mian and said, "There's no need to thank me for this kind of thing. ”

"Okay, if you don't thank you, you won't thank you, but I still want to ask you, I'm not a lowly guy like a murderer or a beggar, why don't you help me get out of trouble, do you think I'm a beggar?"

"Whether it's a robber or a beggar, it has nothing to do with me, I just know that I don't know you, so there's no need to save you, and because I have no reason, so—if you want me to save you, can you give me a reason to save you?"

Leng Mian was stunned, the young man's indifferent attitude made him angry, but what he said was right, there was no reason to save him, Leng Mian frowned slightly, he could only be secretly unhappy in his heart, he said: "Oh, is this the case? After you despise what I think should be, I don't seem to have any reason, then, from today on, how can we be considered to know, hello, my name is Jian Mu Leng Mian." ”

Cold noodles reached out.

Aojie looked at the book, also stretched out his hand, and as soon as he shook hands, he said, "Hello, I am Gongsun Aojie." ”

When shaking hands, the cold face suddenly pinched, as if provoking Aojie, he faced Gongsun Aojie with a smile on his face, and said: "Gongsun Aojie, yes? I know you are very powerful, you are a genius, it's not bad, it's a pity, you are not the only genius in this room, tell you, I am too, in addition, you helped me get out of trouble, to put it bluntly, today it was you who saved me, for ordinary me, I still have to thank you, but for the burden' For me, the title of 'Martial Arts Wizard' is a shame, whether you mean it or not, it's the same, one day, I will save you, and at the same time repay your favor, but also let you taste the feeling of shame. ”

"Whatever you want. Aojie kept staring at the book when he spoke, and I don't know if he listened.

At the beginning of the night, the kerosene lamp was blown out by the cold noodles, and the two of them fell asleep.

At the same moment, the night was getting darker outside, and there was a noise at the door of room two, and soon the door opened, and a dark figure entered, who did not turn on the light, did not make any noise as much as possible, and made the bed silently.

After lying down, he let out a sigh of comfort, his whole body relaxed, and he said, "I'm tired of coming so late!"

Not long after he finished speaking, there was a slight snoring sound on his lips, and he was probably asleep.
