Chapter 24: Arrival

"The teenagers who dare to try their luck at the National Academy are also amazing," the short and fat coachman helped Zhong Xingyue into the carriage, he picked up the whip next to him with one hand, and pulled the horse's reins with the other, the horse understood what the master meant, and walked towards the street with his legs.

"The registration has not started yet, the first day of July every year is the time for registration and assessment, and today is only June 28, and you are just in time. ”

There are two more days, and it is exactly right.

"But a few days ago, there were many teenagers and girls from the Twenty-Eight Prefectures and the local capital of the country who were preparing, and now the inns near the National College are overcrowded, and you two will not be able to find a place to stay. ”

"Ah, there is no inn to live in," there are many elite teenagers in Zhao Kingdom, and those who came to sign up this time are even more flocking, not to mention that there must be thousands of people, thousands of people to sign up, plus the elders or servants they brought, the scale of tens of thousands of people, that is, a place as big as the national capital, can be arranged, "Uncle, you just put us at the gate of the academy, we will look for it ourselves along the way, the big inn is gone, maybe there are some small inns." ”

Rich children like Gao Zixuan will definitely find a high-class inn with a good environment to live in, Zhong Xingyue is not picky, and can sleep for two nights in a small room.

"On the contrary, there are a lot of vacant houses in the residential areas near the National Academy, and it is estimated that there will be places for people to live, so you can go and see them. ”

"Thank you, uncle, for your advice. ”

The short and fat man likes Zhong Xingyue very much, she always smiles, revealing the sweet pear vortex on both sides of her cheeks, which makes people feel comfortable when they see it, but when he thinks of her empty sleeves, the man still sighs in his heart.

How could a place like a national college admit a person with unsound limbs?

Young man, there is always flesh......

The streets of the national capital are very wide, the bluestone paved road is smooth and neat, the carriage walks on it without the slightest bump, there are many pedestrians and carriages on the road, and from time to time there will be three or five carriages crowded together, making way is very troublesome.

On both sides of the street are the shops built along the street, with three-storey blue-gray walls, vermilion carved door and window fences, and red shop flags waving in the wind.

From the post station to the National Academy, the carriage had to pass through the central street of the capital, where a patrol passed by every quarter of an hour, and the streets were not crowded, and everyone drove on the right side in an orderly manner, regardless of status.

Zhong Xingyue kept looking out all the way, and when she passed through the central street, she couldn't help but open her mouth wide.

At the end of the central street, is the majestic Zhao Imperial Palace, the palace wall is as high as ten battles, the area is huge, across half of the inner city, the golden building is like a heroic lion, lazily lying on the ground, solemn and solemn.

There was still some distance from the palace, and Zhong Xingyue could only see a huge golden complex, but he couldn't see what it looked like, and he didn't feel a little regretful in his heart.

"You've been here?"

Zhong Xingyue looked at the young man sitting next to him, he had been calm from beginning to end, and had never looked around curiously like her.

"Nope. He said

"Oh, don't you think the capital is spectacular?"

"It's okay. ”

OK?

This is good, it is clearly very good!

The short and fat coachman who was driving the car couldn't help but look back at him, a little boy, he didn't react to the capital for the first time, this is too abnormal, and his tone was clearly with a tone that was not er, had he ever seen a more prosperous place than the national capital?

How is this possible, he looks like a poor boy, besides, in addition to the national capitals of Wei and Yue, is there a more prosperous place on this continent than the capital?

Little boy, he just loves to brag and pretend to be ......

"By the way, what's your name?"

They can be regarded as acquaintances, but they don't know their names yet, so they can't shout when they meet in the future.

"Count the dust. ”

"Which cloudy, which dust?" she asked

The boy looked down at her, his brow furrowed slightly, and he seemed a little impatient.

"The turbidity of turbid water, the dust of dust. ”

"Muddy water?"

She hadn't heard of this place.

The driver who drove the car was a little surprised, but he didn't expect a young boy to know about muddy water.

"The muddy water is on the east side of the continent, which is the easternmost border of our country, far away from us, and few people go there. The coachman explained to Zhong Xingyue, "That turbidity is the turbidity of three points of water." ”

The turbidity of the three points of water means dirt, dust, and dust, why did this young man come up with such a bad name.

"Ji Xunchen, hello, my name is Zhong Xingyue. ”

The boy did not look indifferent this time, but nodded politely.

When the carriage arrived at the National College, it was already afternoon, and it took more than two hours to get here from the post station, which shows the size of the national capital.

The National College is built in the northwest direction of the national capital, and it is closer to the north gate of the capital from the college to the capital, but Zhong Xingyue is from the Yuan Shoufu in the southwest direction, and can only take the south gate of the capital.

There are still a lot of students who come to the National College today, and when Zhong Xingyue and Ji Xunchen got off the bus station and arrived at the gate of the college, there were already more than a dozen students visiting.

As the largest university in Zhao State, it is responsible for the cultivation of top talents and the absorption of fresh blood from generation to generation of Zhao State, and the momentum of the construction of the National College at the entrance is extraordinary.

The five-meter-high gate, about 100 meters long, is made of high-quality vermilion stone and wood, and is carved with the portraits of countless heroes, either standing or sitting, or holding a gun and concentrating, or dancing with a sword and pointing at the sky, lifelike, all of them are firm in their eyes and imposing like a rainbow.

These patterns on the gate alone are enough to stimulate the enthusiasm of young people.

On the left side of the gate, there is a black iron bamboo, the iron bamboo is tough, the wind does not blow, and the general weapons are constantly chopped and broken, which means that when the teenagers enter the national college, they must take the iron bamboo as their own binding principle, refuse to bend their waists, and refuse to grovel to the dark forces.

On the right side of the gate, there is an equally black jade statue, the base of the statue is a book, thick and wide, and a sharp sword is inserted vertically on the base, and the whole statue is five meters high. The implication is that the highest goal of all students who enter a national college is to be both civil and military, and they should not only value one of them and ignore the other.

Since ancient times, martial arts can be self-cultivation and literature can be cultivated, but after all, this is a Guangwu continent that advocates martial arts, even if there is literature in the national college, it is just to let students establish patriotic ideas and familiarize themselves with various art of war.
