Chapter 689: Pingxi (II)
"Seeing that the youngest Confucian in the history of the 'Most Holy Pavilion' is kneeling down and bowing to you, Senior Brother, we are so happy in our hearts!" Old Master Du continued to sell his cheeks, "Hmph, those guys in the 'Most Holy Pavilion', while saying that the 'Most Holy Pavilion' is my Confucian holy land, but at the same time, they cherish themselves, lock the works handed down by those saints and sub-saints to themselves, and never want to take them out and share them with us. β
A great Confucian surnamed Li also responded: "Not only that, but even those scholars and scholars who came out of the 'Most Holy Pavilion' dare to dictate to our dignified Confucianism, and there is no one in our eyes! Today, Wang Zhong's kneeling is like giving us a bad breath of evil breath from the situation we have been in for so many years, and it is called a joy! I feel that my thoughts are really unprecedented at this moment!"
While a few people were talking, they had already entered the academy.
Cen Can asked, "Master...... Senior brother, your experience this year, to be honest, Your Majesty has already secretly communicated with us, and asked us to make a sign and designate you to go to Pingxi. If you don't want to, you can draw lots in the normal way, and your majesty can't control us in this regard. β
"Pingxi. Meng Siao recalled the map of Dali that he had seen in the old man's study, and found that this place was almost the western territory of Dali, and a little further west, it was Juyong Pass, where Liu Xiaobei and his father, Liu Qiantuo, the king of the west, led the army to garrison. And Juyongguan, seven years ago, was the place guarded by his unlucky cheap second uncle.
In addition, the geographical location of Pingxi is also very delicate, to the west is the border with Dachu is the border of Juyongguan, to the northwest, you can directly reach the primeval forest bordering Chijin. Dali built a Great Wall on a high slope outside the primeval forest, in order to guard against the Red Gold Demon Beast Cavalry Army, who would pass through this primeval forest to find trouble.
When the old man and the cheap fourth uncle train the two demon beast cavalry army and the demon bird cavalry army, there will definitely be a part of it that will be deployed to the area where the Great Wall is located as a deterrent force against Chijin.
However, although the geographical location of Pingxi is delicate, judging from the indication on the map, it seems to be a mountainous area, and it belongs to the level of poor mountains and bad waters, and it is not a traffic artery from the west.
What did Liu Xuanzong do when he asked himself to go to Pingxi, a place where birds don't poop? What does it have to do with the important task he talked about before?
He was thinking about it, Cen Can thought he was hesitating, so he asked again, and said with confidence: "If you don't want to go to Pingxi, then change places." I'll go into the palace to talk to Your Majesty about this later, and I think Your Majesty will sell me this face. β
Meng Siao shook his head and said with a smile: "No, I was just thinking about the geographical location of Pingxi, since it is the meaning of His Majesty, I think there is something for me to do." Pingxi, let's Pingxi, please help me go through the formalities, just take Pingxi's letter of recommendation to me. β
"Uh......" Cen Can was stunned for a moment, but when he heard him say this, he nodded, "It's easy to say a letter of recommendation, after the experience begins, it will be handed over to you." It's just that in Pingxi, the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, even if there is a letter of recommendation from our academy, it may not play a role. Originally, this kind of place was outside the training area selected by the academy. β
Meng Siao smiled: "Listening to Master Cen's meaning, it seems that the land in Pingxi is a bit disobedient." β
Cen Can smiled bitterly: "Although the whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's ministers, but in this kind of poor mountains and bad waters, the roads are not passable, and the officials over there will inevitably be a bit of a king." They don't dare to rebel, but they kill people and kill people or somethingβ"
Speaking of this, Cen Can shook his head with a wry smile.
Meng Si said in surprise: "What, is there a disciple of the academy who died in Pingxi?"
Old Master Du sighed and nodded: "That was more than twenty years ago, but by the time Master Cen and I arrived at the place where the incident occurred, all traces had been cleaned up. Master Cen and I searched for more than a month, but we couldn't even find the bones of the boy. β
"Didn't the two masters do anything?" Meng Siao asked.
Cen Can also sighed, and said with a wry smile: "We don't know how that student died, and who killed him, after investigating for more than a month, we haven't found out what their death has to do with the local officials or the lower nine streams, even if I want to stand up for him, I can't find a target like this! Besides, I am a state of rule of law, and there is no evidence, can I convict Pingxi officials with the death of a student in the academy?" Moreover, there are no bones, and we can't even be sure whether he died in Pingxi, and it is only based on the last letters he sent back that it is inferred that he may have been killed in Pingxi. β
Meng Siao was curious: "In the letter he sent back, are there no clues?"
The two Confucians both shook their heads.
"It's kind of interesting. The corners of Meng Siao's mouth suddenly raised slightly, "In this way, even if Your Majesty has no special arrangements, I am also interested in going shopping in this Pingxi." In a poor and remote country, someone can actually kill the students of our Xiansheng Academy, and handle everything cleanly, even the two great Confucians can't find the slightest clue - interesting, really interesting!"
He didn't exaggerate what he said, those who could enter the Xiansheng Academy were either the leading figures in the major academies of Dali, or the disciples of the Three Kings, Four Princes, Five Lords and Nine Generations, these people, no matter how bad they were, would definitely not be much worse.
Don't look at the young generation of the Jingshi, all of them used to be waste firewood such as wine bags and rice bags, but this is also compared with their peers of the same level in the Jingshi. If you put it in the whole Dali, it is definitely at the middle and upper levels of the same generation.
In a place like Pingxi, where birds don't, Meng Siao doubted that there would be a Qi Induction Realm cultivator there, and even if there were, it would not be comparable to the students of the Xiansheng Academy in terms of martial arts.
"Meng Siao" was in the crowd earlier, and his strength was almost at the bottom, only a little better than Zhuge Fei, but if he was placed in these rural places, he would definitely be a genius. At the age of less than sixteen, the fivefold cultivation of the Qi Induction Realm is absolutely unimaginable to these people in the poor mountains and bad waters.
Therefore, as soon as Cen Can and Du Ziang mentioned this matter, Meng Siao instinctively felt that there might be something hidden in Pingxi.
And this hidden situation may be related to the important task that Liu Xuanzong said to himself before.
I don't know why, when he heard Du Ziang and Cen Can talk about the headless murder case in the past twenty years, the first thought that came to his mind was "Will this matter be related to the Dragon Slayer Pavilion?" After all, being able to make Cen Can and Du Ziang, the two great Confucians, can't find a trace, this definitely seems to be done by professionals.
And the most professional killer organization on the Zhongzhou Continent is none other than this Dragon Slaying Pavilion!
