Chapter 42: The Past
At the Lantern Festival, several people also rented a boat and glided in the river while watching the lanterns on both sides of the river.
"Han Xiao, I was brought back by Uncle Chen before, because my father wanted me to join the Lieying Academy, this morning, I told my father, I also want a place for a few of you, let's go together then?"
"Hmm, what is the Lieying Courtyard?" Han Xiao asked after hearing Bai Muqing's words.
"Ah, this, the Lieying Academy is the highest standard academy in our Lieyang Kingdom, directly managed and operated by the royal family, it is said that you can learn a lot of things in it, what formations, inscriptions, refining weapons, alchemy, I think it's a very good opportunity, so I want you to go too." Seeing that everyone was looking at each other, Bai Muqing patiently explained.
"Well, I see, okay, I'll bother you. Han Xiao said.
"You're welcome, it's a shame to say these polite words between us. Bai Muqing said.
"Yes, Han Xiao, why are you doing so many courtesies, this relationship between us, a matter of one sentence. Liu Xuan said on the side of Bai Muqing's shoulder.
"Can you become a general if you join that Lieying Academy?" Liu Xuan suddenly turned back to Bai Muqing and asked.
"As long as you can apply what you have learned and are good enough, you will definitely be no problem to be a general. Bai Muqing said.
"Cheng, go, when I get on the general, I'll come back to marry Feixue, I'll see who dares to stop me. Liu Xuan said after hearing Bai Muqing's words.
"What, Liu Xuan, if I don't let my father mediate from it, Ouyang Chunzheng still has to give my father this face. When Han Xiao told Bai Muqing about what happened to him in Luoyue County before, Bai Muqing also knew about the matter between Liu Xuan and Ouyang Feixue, and when he saw Liu Xuan say it himself, he said.
"No, I won't let anyone interfere in this matter, I want to rely on my own strength to make Ouyang Chunzheng look at me. Liu Xuan rejected Bai Muqing and said.
"Alright then, if you need to speak directly, we'll help you. ”
"Yes, it would. ”
"Okay, if you don't look at such beautiful lanterns, it's gone, let's watch the lantern festival first, and those unhappy things won't be mentioned today. Mingyue saw that a few people were involved in Ouyang Feixue's matter again, so she took the initiative to open her mouth to open the topic.
"Yes, come, drink, those unhappy things, I'll talk about it later. Han Xiao also answered.
"Come on,. Several people in the boat pushed cups and changed lamps, and the interest was quite high.
Several people drank until midnight, and then walked back leisurely, without saying anything all night.
The next morning, Bai Muqing called Han Xiao and the others together.
"Let's go, I'll take you to meet my father, and when I mentioned you to my father, my father said that he was very interested in you and wanted to meet you. Bai Muqing said to a few people.
"Well, well, since my uncle wants to see him, let's go here. Han Xiao said.
"Well, you come with me. Bai Muqing walked in front and led the way.
"Dad, I've brought my friends with me. Bai Muqing took the lead to the door of the study and shouted inside.
"Well, come on in. A neutral voice came from the study.
"Juniors Han Xiao, Mingyue, Liu Xuan, have seen Lord Bai. Several people came in and said together.
"Fighting below, I've seen Lord Bai. Fang Zhan bowed.
"Well, okay, you're welcome, you're Qing'er's friends, just call me uncle. Bai Jieshi said to Han Xiao and the others.
"As for you, Fang Zhan, this name is a little familiar. Bai Jieshi paused, turned his head and said to the other party.
"I think I've heard it somewhere, but I can't remember it. Bai Jieshi was still thinking about it.
"Ah, that's right, I'm a popular person, and my name is also popular, and the lord of Bai County is well-informed, so I may have heard someone else's name somewhere. Fang Zhan saw that Bai Jieshi was still thinking, so he hurried out of the round.
"No, it seems that more than ten years ago, a lieutenant under General Han seemed to be called Fang Zhan. Yes, it's you, it's you, after so many years, you're still the same, haven't changed at all. Bai Jieshi suddenly thought of it and asked.
"Hmm, do you recognize me?" Fang Zhan asked vigilantly, his eyes also showing a fierce light.
"Hahaha, of course, but don't panic, I won't hurt you. Bai Jieshi saw that Fang Zhan wanted to make a move, so he spoke.
"Oh, why should I believe you. Fang Zhan looked at Bai Jieshi and said.
"Engong, do you really not remember me?" Bai Jieshi asked as he stared at Fang Zhan.
"Excuse me, I really don't recognize it. Fang Zhan was also confused by Bai Jieshi.
"Engong, do you remember that more than twenty years ago, when you and General Han were hunting in the mountains, you rescued a teenager who was being hunted?" asked Bai Jieshi.
"You, are you that young man?" Fang Zhan asked with wide eyes and a shocked face.
"Yes, it's me, after being rescued by you, I also yearn for life in the army, and then I went to the army, and I have experienced too many lives and deaths over the years, and finally survived to the current position of the county lord. ”
Bai Jieshi paused and said: "When General Han had an accident, I was still in the army, and I also came out to look for you for a long time, but there was no result, I thought it was ...... To see you here today, it's really a big eye, I don't know how General Han is doing now?"
"I'm also looking for General Han, but I haven't been able to find it. Fang Zhan didn't tell Han Xiao's life experience. People's hearts are the most complicated things, the devil knows what kind of person Bai Jieshi has become after so many years, Fang Zhan doesn't dare to bet, and he can't afford to gamble.
"Okay, it's a blessing that I can meet the old man today, Qing'er, you entertain a few of your friends on my behalf, and I'll go to have two drinks with your Uncle Fang." Bai Jieshi said to Bai Muqing.
Han Xiao and the others were also quite shocked, this is too bloody, it is really a surprise everywhere in life.
"Okay, no problem. Bai Muqing said.
"Let's go, Brother Fang, let's go out to drink, if we don't get drunk, we won't return. Bai Jie took Fang Zhan's shoulders and jumped directly past everyone and walked outside.
"Well, let's go to the bar too?" Bai Muqing glanced at Bai Jieshi's back and said to Han Xiao and the others.
"No, don't drink it, I haven't woken up from last night's wine, I'm going back to rest. Han Xiao and Liu Xuan said in unison.
Bai Muqing had no choice but to smile helplessly: "Then let's go back to cultivation." ”
"By the way, when will the contest for what election spots start?" asked Han Xiao.
"That, it's still early, it's estimated that it will take more than a month, we don't need to participate, there are places directly, you just need to eat and drink well, and play well." Bai Muqing replied.
"Well, okay, that's right, Bai Muqing, let me tell you quietly, we took that blood spirit pill, and now our cultivation is more than yours, and you are now at the bottom. Han Xiao smiled and said to Bai Muqing.
"Really, is this elixir so magical?" Bai Muqing couldn't believe it.
Han Xiao didn't say much, and directly released the momentum, Liu Xuan and Mingyue also released it, the breath of a transformation realm, the breath of a spirit infant ninefold, and the momentum of a spirit infant peak also burst out.
"You second uncle, I'm busy asking for a quota for you, you actually broke through secretly, don't say it, I'm going back to retreat, whatever you want to play, just go by yourself, be your own home, you're welcome. After speaking, Bai Muqing slipped away.
"Hey, let's go, let's go back first to stabilize the foundation and go out to play in the afternoon." Han Xiao shook his head and said with a smile.
