Book XIX, Chapter XVI

Tianzong woke up from sleep the next morning, last night's things were also real and illusory, he really didn't know if he had a good dream last night or his own hallucination, he concentrated on his true qi for a while, he didn't expect to find that he really looked like he had returned to the past, his whole body was full of true qi, his true qi was more smooth, his cultivation seemed to be better than before, it was really lost, this mood was really like the feeling of being reincarnated, could it be that there was really a miracle in this world, Tianzong was really ecstatic, he didn't expect that he had really recovered his strength, he really wanted the whole world to know the good news, butTianzong sat on the bed and pondered for a long time, and finally decided to keep his promise and never leak this matter, after all, people are based on faith, if he can't even do this, then he hasn't lost the most basic principle of being a man, although he is only eight years old this year, and he really wants everyone to know the good news, but Tianzong still didn't tell anyone about it in the end.

Although he didn't tell others the news that his illness had been cured, including his grandparents and parents, Tianzong decided to go back to school, anyway, everyone now thinks that he has a terminal illness, and there is no hope of a cure at all.

Parents and elders always care for their children, no matter what their children are, in their hearts. Children are their only ones forever, and Xie Chengde saw his grandson voluntarily go back to school. Feel happy if you keep him locked in the house. It's better to let him go to school, although Tianzong has lost the ability to practice martial arts, but Xie Chengde thinks that it doesn't matter, in this troubled world, high martial arts is indeed not a bad thing, but with the current status and power of their Xie family, even if Tianzong has no martial arts, it doesn't matter, it is a good thing to be a civil official, three generations of generals. Affecting the younger generations, Xie Chengde also wanted his grandson not to have that kind of battlefield career of swords and swords, life and death, and after discussing with Tianzong's mother Wen Yuni, he decided to let Tianzong continue to go back to school. It's just that Wen Yuni is a little worried, afraid that Tianzong has lost his martial arts now, and I'm afraid that someone will bully him in the school, Xie Chengde also feels reasonable, but. He persuaded his daughter-in-law that Tianzong is the righteous son of the current king, and who dares to bully him in the school!

Xie Chengde sent Tianzong back to the aristocratic school. For the return of Tianzong, the school is of course very welcome, although Tianzong has lost its martial arts. became a wasted person, if it was a child of an ordinary family. The school would certainly not want such waste, but Tianzong is the adopted son of His Majesty the King today. Having such a person in the school can not only improve the prestige of the school, but also make it much more convenient if you get things done in the future.

For Tianzong's grandfather's explanation, of course, the school agreed on everything, not only arranged the best teacher for Tianzong to teach him, but also arranged a special room for Tianzong to prevent him from being disturbed by others, of course, Tianzong's life matters, the school is properly arranged.

Xie Chengde is very satisfied with the school's arrangement, he is an old and sophisticated person, of course he knows that the school treats Tianzong so specially, it will definitely not be without reason, and immediately said that if the school has anything to do in the future, he will definitely not stand idly by, as long as the relevant parties of the school speak, he will definitely go all out.

After listening to Xie Chengde's promise, the principal of the school and the relevant leaders expressed their gratitude very much, with Mr. Xie's statement, their future affairs will be much easier, and there is a signboard in the school, what else can I worry about?

Tianzong didn't know much about all this, but he knew that he was able to get such generous conditions this time, it must be due to the face of his grandfather and father, although he had always been at the top of the school before, but he was penniless. Unexpectedly, now just because of his father, he was lucky to be accepted by the king as a righteous son, but he became a fragrant bait, not only the leaders of the school expressed a warm welcome, but also, the teachers of all grades wanted to invite him to their own class, and even the teachers of the first grade came to invite him, and asked Tianzong to learn from scratch, which made Tianzong a little crying and laughing, and finally, Tianzong returned to his original class and continued his studies.

After Tianzong got a strange disease, he lost all his skills, and it had already been spread in Miyun Kingdom, because even the king issued a medical list, hoping to help Tianzong cure his strange disease, but unfortunately there was no doctor or therapist who could cure Tianzong, for Tianzong's return, some of the classmates laughed at it, because Tianzong used to be quite prominent, and now he has lost everything, which is indeed a happy thing; some have sympathy, they feel sorry for Tianzong; some don't care, their relationship with Tianzong is not very good, but, Now that Tianzong is the righteous son of His Majesty the King, they don't dare to provoke him easily, although some of these classmates have a very good background, but they have already been warned about Tianzong and can't bully him, otherwise, the consequences are very serious, of course, this is not only a warning from the school, but also from their families.

This made Tianzong worry a lot, saved a lot of trouble, although some or some alumni will bully him, but they don't dare to be blatant, just by chance, and although Tianzong is still young, but he can bear it, he didn't get angry, and he didn't report their behavior to the school, after a long time, everyone also accepted Tianzong, but Tianzong knew that everyone was just sympathizing with him, he was a useless waste, and everyone didn't want to bully him, because bullying a person who had no power to fight back was indeed not a glorious and worthy thing to show off, not to mention taking a great risk。

Tianzong has always endured silently, in the face of other people's disdainful eyes, Tianzong turned them into motivation to motivate himself, of course, this also gave him greater motivation to learn, he didn't want to be a waste that everyone looked down on.

No one would have thought that Tianzong would be a person with special skills, but. Everyone knows that Tianzong's academic performance in the school's theory courses has always been ranked in the top three, but the courses are studied. He couldn't participate, because he couldn't fight anyone else. And Tianzong didn't dare to reveal his martial arts skills, so he had to stand by and watch the battle when everyone was competing, observing the skills of others, so as to improve his practical experience.

Time flies like this, eight years have passed in the blink of an eye, and many unforgettable things have happened in these eight years, which can be said to be unforgettable. First of all, Tianzong's grandmother died of illness, and then, his grandfather Xie Chengde died because he missed his deceased wife too much, and he also passed away, these two things made Tianzong feel extremely sad, grandparents are his closest people, and they have always guarded his side, and his father Xie Zhenguo spent almost all his time on the border, in addition to bringing some pride to his son. Tianzhong almost didn't feel any father's love, and although his mother Wen Yuni loved him very much, it was far from his grandparents' love for him. Especially after she was named the princess, she didn't have time to control the sky, not to mention. Tianzong spends more time in school. Therefore, how big a blow the departure of the second elder is to Tianzong. That's understandable.

The death of his grandparents made Tianzong feel that he had lost everything. He became more dull and silent, of course, this also had a lot to do with his oath, the young man who did not want to show himself for a while, but Tianzong had to keep his oath, keep a low profile, be cautious in his words and deeds, he completely closed himself off, and his personality became more withdrawn.

And the two Wang brothers, that is, Tianzhong's righteous brothers Wang Yongbin and Wang Zhiheng have become famous in recent years, the two of them and Xie Zhenguo, have become the generals of Miyun Kingdom, guarding the border of Miyun Kingdom, the father and son are now completely separated, each guarding one side, Wang Yongbin and Wang Zhiheng not only became the only generals in Miyun Kingdom, but also were named Weiyuan Marquis and Dingguo Marquis by the king, becoming the youngest Marquis with different surnames in Miyun Kingdom, if it were not for the two of them to resign from the king and make the two of them dukes, I am afraid that the two of them are now as high as the official position of their father-in-law Zhenguogong, but, but the two of them won the praise of the entire Miyun Kingdom.

Tianzong is still the king's righteous son, although during this period the king Wu Zhujun wanted to be a little marquis of Tianzong because of his father, but he was kindly declined by Xie Zhenguo, after all, Tianzong is now powerless, if he is also named the marquis, wouldn't it be in vain to provoke gossip, Wu Zhujun knows Xie Zhenguo's temper, and knows that this is also for the sake of the national body of Miyun Kingdom, so he didn't force it anymore.

Tianzong is sixteen years old, as a man, he has completely reached the age of independence, compared with his peers, he is still a little weak, because he rarely tempers outdoors, his skin appears fairer, shoulder-length hair, towering forehead, a pair of sword eyebrows, a pair of bottomless black eyes full of aura, beautiful face, of course, this is everyone's feeling about him, because people like him who can't practice martial arts, lack a kind of masculinity as a man, giving people a more Sven impression, a typical little white face, but it is quite popular with girls。

He went to the aristocratic school at the age of six, and has always been the proud son of both civil and military in the school, but at the age of eight, due to a sudden illness, he lost the ability to practice martial arts, but his grades have always been at the top of the school, of course, the school also took care of him many times because of his outstanding stature.

After staying in school for nearly ten years, he finally survived until the day of graduation, Tianzong also had a sense of relief, as long as he took the theory exam, he could graduate directly, unlike other students, who needed to go to the field to practice, and after the assessment, he could graduate. Although he is a little confused about the future, but he is not too worried, with his illustrious family, it is absolutely not a problem to get an errand in Miyun Country, the only regret is that he can't be like his father, galloping on the battlefield, although he also has a body of cultivation, but he doesn't dare to show off in front of people, this matter has been suppressing him, although he feels a feeling of about to explode, but he has never regretted it, he knows that if there is no teaching of the man in black, he will forever lose the qualification to practice martial arts, for this, he has felt great satisfaction, although he does not know what the purpose of the man in black is, and all these years, I have never seen the strange man in black, but Tianzong has always adhered to his promise and has never revealed his martial arts skills in front of people.

Just when Tianzong thought that he would be able to pass the graduation exam successfully. His mentor found him, but of course it wasn't because Tianzong didn't have good grades. Instead, the mentor hopes that through Tianzong, he can bring his classmates to his father's military camp for training. It would be a very good thing if everyone could take this opportunity to join the army and get a job.

Over the years, the graduates of the school have all been trained locally, and if they can go to the barracks to receive on-the-spot training and participate in the test of real fire and ammunition this time, it will be an unprecedented event, and if they perform outstandingly. As long as Tianzong helps to say a few words, you can leave some outstanding students directly in the barracks, anyway, the army also needs some outstanding talents, which can set a precedent for the school, no matter what the result is, this will be used as the basis for the assessment of whether you can successfully graduate, Tianzhong's tutor is extremely satisfied that he has such a mind, this method is not something that ordinary people can come up with, even if they can think of it. I also need the recommendation of a competent person, and I just have such good luck to be able to meet at the right time.

For the tutor's request, Tianzong did hesitate. He knew that his father would never allow him to bring his classmates to him, because Xie Zhenguo had always been strict in governing the army, although Tianzong had never seen this. But this is an ironclad fact, which has long been transmitted from the mouths of his two righteous brothers to the ears of Tianzong.

Tianzhong thought about it for a long time. decided to accede to the tutor's request, though. He didn't dare to go to his father's place, he was too serious on weekdays, Tianzong didn't dare to provoke him, but Tianzong changed the location to Wang Yongbin, Wang Zhiheng couldn't go, his hot temper, if Tianzong went to him, although he would agree, but Tianzong was inevitably scolded by him, and Wang Yongbin's personality is relatively calm, and he is now Weiyuanhou, or his brother-in-law, his brother-in-law went to him for training, I believe he only nodded and agreed, after all, Wang Yongbin is still very good to Tianzong, although the two brothers don't see each other much, but Tianzong has a good relationship with him, because Wang Yongbin only needs to return to Yundu, will come to see him, this righteous brother takes care of him more, think about it, only to find him is the best.

After discussing with the mentor, Tianzong told the tutor the answer, and since it was okay to bring everyone to the place of Weiyuanhou, the tutor agreed without thinking about anything. However, Tianzong put forward a condition, that is, he was required to go to the training as well, otherwise, he would not take everyone to the barracks.

For Tianzhong's request, the mentor also hesitated, Tianzong is a powerless person, if he goes, then if something happens, then he will definitely not be able to get out of it. However, Tianzong's words made his mentor agree to his request, because after all, Wei Yuanhou is his brother-in-law, if something happens to him, then his brother-in-law is not the first to be involved, besides, Tianzong said that his actions are personal actions and have nothing to do with the school, because he has graduated from the noble school. After repeated requests from Tianzong, his mentor decided to let Tianzong go to the military camp with everyone for actual combat training.

However, things are not as simple as imagined, even if Tianzong and his mentor agreed, but when the school submitted for approval, they encountered resistance, which is not a big problem, because after the school heard this proposal, it felt very feasible, such a good thing is rare, because people like Tianzong can not be met every year, the school feels a little regretful, why didn't he think of this before, but he came up with such an idea when Tianzong was about to graduate, it was really a waste of these years。

Frustrated, the school decided not to let Tianzong alone take up all the good things, the school has so many graduates, how can any class take the lead, the school leaders unanimously decided to select a group of outstanding people, collectively with the Tianzong to Weiyuan Hou's military camp for training, of course, this must first pass the Tianzong level, however, Tianzong said that everything is subject to the school's arrangement, after hearing this, the school's leaders immediately began to deploy and prepare for action.

After the school announced the news, the reaction was strong, some students with family power also wanted to go, but they were stopped by the elders of the family, but more students were willing to follow the sky, but the number of places was limited, the school did not let many students go at all, only recruited the top 50, and decided the winner by force. After some selection, most of them were unsuccessful. Only the top fifty students with better grades were selected.

However, when the sky goes to see it. But somehow there are more than 20 people, some of them are completely beyond the age of the students, there is no doubt, these people are some of the school's teachers and leaders relatives or their own children, and even one of them does not look like a student at all, looking at the age of thirty, Tianzong has already been greeted by someone, this oldest 'student' is the son of the Tianzong tutor, the tutor has dedicated his life to the cause of education. But he couldn't even get a job for his own son, so in desperation, he had to ask Tianzong for help. In this case, Tianzong had nothing to say, so he had no choice but to agree.

Before leaving, the classmates in Tianzong's class all came to Tianzong to intercede, and it was also the leader of Yi Yalei, Yi Yalei was not too noble, she was the daughter of a commoner. In order to let her go to an aristocratic school, it is said that she has given everything she has, and Yi Yalei has not lived up to her parents' expectations, and her grades have always been very good. A girl like her will definitely be able to get an official position in the future, and if she can marry a wishful husband. That would be even more promising, which was the real reason why her parents sent her to an aristocratic school. Let her be contaminated with some noble atmosphere, and the threshold of birth is higher. In the future, so that she can find a good home. The relationship between her and Tianzong is very good, this is not something she did deliberately, Tianzong is more aware of this, just since Tianzong arrived at the aristocratic school, he was more in love with Yi Yalei, at that time, Tianzong was still penniless, and later after Tianzong lost his martial arts, Yalei still took care of him, all of which Tianzong secretly remembered in his heart.

A school of Nuo University, tens of thousands of students, to squeeze into the top 50 with their own strength, it is not an easy thing, Tianzong is in the class can squeeze into the top 50 people, although it is a noble school, but not all students are nobles, in order to recruit students and improve the popularity of the school, the school has to recruit some outstanding civilian children every year, these people have no background, in addition to hard work, there is no outstanding family that can be relied on, in fact, the school also understands that those children of prominent families are rarely successful, these yearsIf it weren't for the fact that these civilian children had maintained the honor of the school, and had to rely on those gentlemen, the school would have been discredited long ago.

Most of Tianzong's class are commoners, and he was not assigned to the aristocratic class, which has a lot to do with Tianzong when he began to enter the school, because of course, Tianzong's family is not as prominent as it is now, it can be said that he was still unknown at that time, although Xie Zhenguo was a general at the time, but he did not have any reputation, and the king did not make him a duke, therefore, Tianzong was assigned to the ordinary class at that time, and later Tianzong also had feelings for this class, although the school repeatedly said that Tianzong could go to any class he wanted, but Tianzong was unwilling to transfer to other classes, and the school did not dare to force Tianzong, I had to gradually adjust the teachers of Tianzong's class, so that Tianzong could get the best education, so that the students in Tianzong's class benefited a lot from Tianzong.

However, although there are many classmates in Tianzong's class who did not squeeze into the top fifty, they all want to follow Tianzong to the military camp, and although Tianzong usually has a withdrawn personality, but in the face of his classmates, these partners who have been with him for more than ten years, he must not agree to their request, not to mention that this time it is Yi Yalei who came forward to request, saying that Tianzong also has to agree to this matter, everyone is from a poor background, if you give up this opportunity, then there may be no chance again, after all, not all students from noble schools can finally get a good home, although the school has cultivated a lot of talents over the years, but extremely top-notch people, but there are very few, in general, people still have to rely on their own, even in the best school, it is not necessarily able to get ahead, superior, just study in the aristocratic school is more enviable, and the school's signboard is better.

Tianzong saw that everyone looked at himself with expectant eyes, after all, after so many years of classmates' feelings, he didn't look at the monk's face to see the Buddha's face, and the school organized this activity not to leak, and there were not many people who took the opportunity to fish in the muddy water and ran in.

On the occasion of departure, Tianzong went home, and now there is no one at home. 's father has been stationed abroad for many years, and her mother Wen Yuni has been a princess since she was crowned. changed his personality in the past and completely became a communicative expert. was busy outside all day, and I didn't know what I was busy with, completely forgetting that she still had Tianzong's son, and Tianzong hadn't seen him much as a mother over the years.

Seeing that his mother was not at home, he told his family the news that he was going to travel far away, and asked him to tell him when his mother came back that he was going to Wang Yongbin, his brother in Bianguan. After that, Tianzong came to the house where his grandfather lived before his death, and opened the door of the secret room. Greet his grandparents, kneeling on the ground, after contemplating for a while, Tianzong got up and prepared to leave, suddenly, he found that there seemed to be a ghostly light flickering directly above the ancestral hall, Tianzong did not feel some doubts, could it be that there was something hidden on it, out of curiosity. Seeing that there was no one around, Tianzong jumped up lightly and pushed hard, and sure enough, there was a mechanism on it. And it was also a mystery box, Tianzong reached out and touched it, but he didn't expect that there was a knife hidden inside. Tianzong curiously took out the knife and looked at it. Isn't this the knife that Grandpa had already destroyed back then, how could it be here. And it's still so intact, could it be that both grandpa and father were deceiving him back then, but why did they do this, it was just an ordinary knife, why did the two of them deceive him.

Tianzong was confused, he would never have dreamed that the knife in his hand would be the legendary evil spirit holy knife, however, this knife has an inexplicable feeling for Tianzong, as soon as the knife is in Tianzong's hand, he feels that he has infinite power, over the years, he has been abiding by his promise to the man in black, and he has been practicing the heart method taught to him by the man in black, although he still doesn't know what the benefits of this kind of heart method are, but he feels that he still has obvious progress, so he did not practice other martial arts, and he did not even learn the family legend of Cloud Bursting Douqi and Moyun marksmanship。 For some reason, since he practiced the mind of the man in black, he felt that these martial arts were too simple for him, and he could see through the flaws at a glance, and he didn't learn the magic and martial arts in the academy, these things were not as good as his family martial arts, but over the years, he had read a lot of books and had a deeper understanding of various martial arts and advanced magic.

Tianzong thought for a while, then put the knife in his hand on his back, and took the knife out, Tianzong has always been a person who secretly cultivates, and usually does not bring weapons, it is a coincidence, he is missing a weapon to take advantage of, I didn't expect it to be so coincidental, so he found a good weapon. This field training, maybe when you need to use it, after all, I have been practicing hard for so many years, but I have never had a chance to try my skills, usually everyone treats him as a different kind of person, however, Tianzong himself doesn't feel it, because he knows that his cultivation is not worse than these people, so to speak, if Tianzong makes a move, he will definitely not be weaker than anyone.

After Tianzong returned to school, under the leadership of Tianzong's tutor, he took more than 30 students in the class and the more than 80 people selected by the school to the military camp of Wang Yongbin, the Marquis of Weiyuan.

This group of people is unimpeded along the way, but after arriving at the border, the itinerary was blocked, after all, this is a border place, without the order of Wei Yuan Hou, no one dares to let it go easily, if there is a violation, the military law is not a joke, Wei Yuan Hou is quite strict in the control of the troops. However, since the person who came reported that he was the younger brother of Wei Yuanhou, then they, the guards of the gate, did not dare to slack off, and immediately reported the information to Wei Yuanhou.

After receiving the information, Wang Yongbin immediately rushed to the checkpoint, and before Tianzong entered the border pass, Wang Yongbin had already brought someone to pick them up in person.

For the arrival of Tianzong, Wang Yongbin really has a headache, if Tianzong comes alone, then he is 10,000 happy and welcome, but now Tianzong has brought him more than 120 people, and I heard that he will also participate in his army for on-the-spot training, which can make him, the marquis, not know what to do. For Tianzong, Wang Yongbin can't be light or heavy, after all, he is his own brother-in-law, and he doesn't dare to mention Tianzong's heart disease, because he knows that Tianzong's personality is a little inferior, and he is usually silent, if he makes Tianzong lose face and hurt his self-esteem, not only is it difficult to explain to his father-in-law, but also, as a brother, he is also uneasy.

However, since Tianzong personally brought them here, Wang Yongbin couldn't sweep Tianzong's face, so he asked people to take these people to the barracks, and after settling everyone, he pulled Tianzong into his big tent.

"Brother, aren't you looking for something for me, I'm a military camp here, not your school, you must know that fighting is not a joke, it will kill people, I think you still persuade them to go back as soon as possible!" Wang Yongbin felt a little headache, he was already busy enough with military affairs every day, and now he had to be distracted to take care of Tianzong, which was really enough for his head.

"Big brother, I brought them here to help you fight, think about it, you command tens of thousands of troops, even if you arrange all my one hundred and twenty people, I don't think it will be a problem. Tianzong said with a smile, looking at Wang Yongbin's bitter face, he really felt funny, but he knew that he couldn't laugh easily at this time.

Looking at Tianzong's forced smile, Wang Yongbin was a little helpless, although he was a marquis, but he couldn't afford to provoke his precious brother, this was his father-in-law's heart, his father-in-law only had such an only son, if there was a mistake, he couldn't afford it, besides, for Tianzong, Wang Yongbin was also very doting on him, and he had always treated Tianzong as his own brother.

"But these people haven't even experienced the most basic recruit training, if they go to the battlefield, wouldn't it be a mess?" Wang Yongbin reluctantly compromised.

"This is easy to do, as long as you find someone to teach them, don't worry, these people are all from commoners, they are all hard-working, you know, those noble babies, don't want to come here to suffer, their parents have already arranged good positions for them. The people who can come here with me are poor children with no background, what are they studying hard for so many years, don't they just want to be able to get ahead, I think they will be able to endure hardships. I think it's limited to half a year, and if they do well, you can keep them in the barracks, and if you don't like anyone, you can just kick them out. ”

"In that case, then I will send people to train them, but if they can't stand the test, then they can't blame me!"

"Okay, as long as you don't deliberately make things difficult for them. (To be continued.) )
