One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the fact that Tenglong Academy wanted to participate in the academy alliance competition quickly radiated to the surrounding areas.

In less than a day's effort, Zhao Gou, who was thousands of miles away, received this news.

"Liu Hao, after four years of shrinking, are you finally going to make a move? This time, I want you to know who is the head of the academy in the southern region, and who can represent the students in the southern region. Zhao Gou paused for a moment and continued: "Zhao Gou, I know you're standing outside, come in!" ”

There was a creak, and the door to the office was pushed open. Zhao Liang held the document bag and walked in front of Zhao Gou without smiling.

"Sometimes I really wonder if you are the Zhao Liang I know. With a straight face all day long, whoever sees you feels like they owe you money. Say, what's the matter? Then you can read this message. ”

Zhao Liang took the note, read it and gently put it on the table, the expression on his face did not change from beginning to end.

"Zhao Liang, tell me what you think! I'd like to hear your opinion. Zhao Gou directly ignored the document bag that Zhao Liang was holding.

"Dean, I think it's a good thing that Tenglong Academy can participate in this year's league competition. As the saying goes, it is not advisable to stand alone, and a hundred schools of thought will contend for a long time. The southern region has lost a lot of color with the Tenglong Academy, and I vaguely remember the class he participated in. For the first time, the fame of our southern region overshadowed the other four realms. Many people began to be interested in us and began to get to know us first.

The three alliances that Tenglong Academy lacked were in the Great Competition, and the people of the other four realms were becoming less and less enthusiastic about the southern region. If this year's Tenglong Academy still does not participate in the big competition held by the Academy Alliance. I believe that the influence of the southern region in the hearts of all of us will return to what it used to be.

In recent years, the enrollment quota of our college has been increasing, but on the basis of increasing the number of places, what do we get? More and more expenditures, more and more nameless losses, more and more negative evaluations and influences.

The uneven quality of students has lowered the overall strength of our college. The reduction of overall strength has led to our struggle in each year's college competition. Especially in the last edition, we were just short of the first place in the southern region.

Dean, we must not deceive ourselves, we should keep our eyes open, see our own shortcomings, and face up to the strengths of others. It is not advisable to rest on our laurels and have a modest and cautious royal mentality. ”

Zhao Gou didn't expect Zhao Liang to say this to himself. These words should not come out of his mouth. He is his own confidant, as a confidant, how can he not know what he is taboo about?

"Zhao Liang, you have really changed, and I don't even know you a little. In the past, you would never have said such things. You know my attitude towards Tenglong Academy, if it weren't for the rules of the Academy Alliance, Tenglong Academy would have been removed a long time ago, how could I still participate in the big competition held by the Academy Alliance as openly as today!

Liu Hao is smart, but he has offended too many people, and I am just one of them. Ants gnaw at dead elephants, not to mention that we are not many times stronger than ants. It's a miracle that he survived so far, and I don't know how many times I've died if I were someone else. ”

"Dean, for the sake of following you for decades, I advise you not to overestimate yourself and belittle others. You and they have common interests, but behind the interests I don't want you to be used by them. If it's really like what they say, what is the value of your use, Dean? Why do they need to borrow your hand to contain Liu Hao? Why not send a killer to kill him silently once and for all?

They're not stupid, they're not ordinary people. If it is an ordinary person, it is impossible to develop the family business so big. The real reason why they are looking for you is to find a shield for the dead ghosts. They don't want to let their forces be affected because of Liu Hao's matter. ”

Zhao Liang's words echoed in Zhao Gou's mind, and finally he returned to the first sentence and asked, "Zhao Liang, what do you mean?" You don't want to tell me you're going to quit! This is no joke, this is a very serious matter. ”

"Dean Gao Ming, you know my intention at once. This is my resignation and some of the confidential files I keep. I now present them to you and ask for your approval of my resignation. Zhao Liang handed the document bag in his hand to Zhao Gou.

Zhao Gou pushed the document bag aside, and then asked with a smile, "Sit, I think we can have a good talk." ”

"Well, it's been a long time since I've had a long talk with you. Today, I will finish what should be said or what should not be said in one go. ”

"Good! As you said, let's talk openly and honestly.

Zhao Liang, you have followed me for decades, no matter what happens, I will consult with you, and you will do your best to assist me. I am generous and forgiving to you and will not treat you like anyone else.

I vaguely remember when we first worked together, we were both young and high-spirited. With the passage of time, the relationship between you and me has undergone earth-shaking changes due to the immersion of worldly trivialities, and the former friendship has long been tainted by various interests. You are no longer you, I am no longer me, we live both for ourselves and for the Academy.

Once upon a time, you and I would quarrel with each other because of differences of opinion. Once upon a time, we could still calm down and you and I could say each other's hearts one by one. Once upon a time, my orders were all you had, and my honor was the honor you defended with your life.

Now, however, everything has changed. You are no longer you, I am still me. You give me the feeling that after meeting Liu Hao, your thoughts fluctuated, and then your heart, your soul, and your whole person fluctuated with the fluctuations of your thoughts.

Zhao Liang, your current identity is no longer the teaching director of Nandu College, and I am no longer the principal of Nandu College. I want to borrow some time from you to go back to you and me decades ago. ”

"Zhao Gou, you and I are from the same sect, I shouldn't have this idea, but the world is unpredictable. After you were promoted to dean, some things are indeed changing, and the college is moving forward little by little in a better direction. However, your conduct is destined to prevent the Academy from going far.

Liu Hao is a rising star, and his ability is obvious to all. But this real, waterless ability has become a little clever and capable in your eyes, but it is just shit luck.

I often go to Tenglong Academy, and the students there are compared to the students here, which is simply the difference between Firefly and Haoyue. Take the student at the bottom of the academy there, if he is placed in our academy, he will be an outstanding top student, and he will win countless glory for our academy.

I'm not alarmist, I'm just going to take things as they are. I don't care what you think of me, I just say what I want to say. Whether you are angry, angry, or hateful, I only hope you can hear a true situation from my words. And not the nonsense that your so-called allies say to you.

If you continue to wander in the void, then you will slowly retreat into the background in the near future with Nandu Academy, until you are completely forgotten.

I'm not alarmist, but I'm giving you the right advice based on facts. My suggestion is not good, but it is very practical. ”

Zhao Gou was silent for a long time before he slowly spoke: "Zhao Gou, I didn't expect your prejudice against me to be so great, and I would be this kind of image in your eyes." There is no disappointment, no anger, just a faint sadness.

Zhao Liang, I have always regarded you as a brother and a confidant. Therefore, in front of you, I will show you all the good or bad side of myself.

You may think that as time goes by, the brotherhood between you and me has changed its flavor, and I no longer see you as a brother, but as an object of exploitation to consolidate my position of power.

Is this really the case? No! Wrongly, our friendship has not changed. In official affairs, I am the dean, you are the dean, and I naturally have to treat you harshly. In private, I am still your old brother, and I will not treat you with the attitude and way of treating others. To me, you are the only person I can fully trust in this academy.

Zhao Liang, do you know what you are saying now, how much harm you have done to me? If I were what you say, I wouldn't. I'll take you right away and put you in a secret cell that only I know. ”

"Thank you for believing in me, and I will repay you in the future. Speaking of which, it is useless to say more, if you want to stop me, I will fight back. If you don't stop me, I'll be gone." Zhao Liang stared at Zhao Gou's eyes for a long time. Although Zhao Gou said affectionately and sincerely, he still had to be guarded against.

"Let's go! See you again in the future, that's the enemy! Zhao Gou didn't make a move on Zhao Liang after all.

Looking at the back of Zhao Liang leaving, Zhao Gou had mixed feelings in his heart. Accustomed to him being around to solve problems for himself. When you change someone, it always feels wrong, something is missing.

After leaving Nandu Academy, Zhao Liang did not go to the post station, but walked to a teahouse in the city that he often went to.

Even if there were Zhao Gou's spies staring at him, he wouldn't doubt him too much. After all, if you want to leave here, you have to go to the places you like.

In the private room upstairs, an elegant young man in white peeled tangerines with his hands, humming a small tune, and his face was full of comfort.

Zhao Liang did not knock on the door, but directly pushed the door in. Do extraordinary things at all times, and don't care about so much red tape.

"Enchantment charm, urgent as a law, edict!" Zhao Liang played an enchantment charm at Liu Hao's signal.

"Please sit down, I just peeled an orange, just for you to eat." Liu Hao smiled and handed out the peeled oranges.

Dean Liu was polite. It is better to be respectful than to obey fate. Zhao Liang took the tangerines handed by Liu Hao and ate him by dividing them by two.

"How's the talk? Would you really like to come with me? Liu Hao made Zhao Liang a full cup of hot tea.

"I've been thinking about this for a long time. I have a deep affection for Nandu College, and it is precisely because of my deep feelings that I can't bear to watch it decline step by step. I want to do my best to reverse this decay, but the general trend is beyond human power. In the case that the time, place and people are not available, I can only endure the pain and leave. ”

"Didn't Zhao Gou keep you? You've worked together for decades, and I don't believe it if you don't have a little affection. Liu Hao did not let go of the attitude of interrogation and continued to remain vigilant.

"Retention? If he had kept me, I would not have been here. Although he said a lot of heartfelt words, he did not back up his words with practical actions. I really didn't expect that in the end he only sent me with threatening language. Alas! This person's pattern is too small, and he is destined to become a big thing! ”

"Zhao Liang, when you didn't come, I thought of an upper link, you might as well pair the lower link. Listen, my uplink is: It's rare to be confused, and I can't tell the difference between left and right. ”

"Dean Liu is good Yaxing. Think about it! Let's use my current situation to make the next couplet of this couplet! Wake up in time and understand the ancient and modern. Horizontal batches are perched for the selection of trees. ”

"It's rare to be confused, and I can't tell the difference between left and right. Wake up in time and understand the ancient and modern. Horizontal batch: choose trees and perch.

Hahaha..., I didn't expect the couplet to be neat so quickly. Zhao Liang, are you willing to follow me? Liu Hao's words changed, his tone changed, and his eyes looked directly at Zhao Liang's heart.

Zhao Liang felt Liu Hao's gaze, didn't think much about it, and replied calmly: "I am willing to follow the lord and witness the beauty of the world." ”

"Okay, then from now on, you won't be called Zhao Liang. I give you the surname Zhang Mingliang. Zhang Liang is your future name, and Zhao Liang has disappeared from the world from this moment on. ”

"My lord, can you tell me why? If you give me the surname Liu, I can understand, why did you give me the surname Zhang? Zhang Liang didn't lie, he was a monk of the second zhang, and he was really confused.

"The name Zhang Liang comes from another world. He strategized and won thousands of miles away in that world, and was the number one strategist in the world. I gave you his surname because I hope you can be like him and assist me in creating splendid rivers and mountains. ”

Liu Hao did not use exaggerated language and too many adjectives to explain "Zhang Liang". The road is simple, and a simple introduction can stimulate Zhang Liang's inner fighting spirit. Since ancient times, literati have been inferior to each other, and those who are arrogant and truly talented will never let others surpass themselves.

"Please rest assured, I will do my best to assist the lord." Zhang Liang knelt down on his knees and made an oath to Liu Hao.

"I believe you, our first step is from the southern border. After six years of forbearance, it's time for me to exert my strength. ”

At this time, Liu Hao was infinitely taller in Zhang Liang's eyes, and Zhou had a kingly aura up and down.

"In this world's college alliance, we are bound to win the first place. If Zhao Gou is long-eyed, he can still continue to be the dean of his Nandu Academy after he comes back. But if he is bent on death, then I am not to blame. Where does the couch allow others to sleep soundly? The threat must be eliminated in the first place! ”

"What the lord said is very true, leave this matter to me!" Zhang Liang took the initiative to ask Liu Hao for help.

"Yes." Liu Hao nodded at him, and then, he regained his previous demeanor again, picked up another tangerine, and slowly peeled it off.
