While Xu Yang stepped up his cultivation of the "Past Mida Sutra", Ma Zichen and Dahu Xiaohu were busy preparing the items they needed to bring to Longjing. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info and in the past two days, Lian Gui, who was rescued by Xu Yang, has also recovered as before, and he has been slim and elegant, sweeping away the previous decadence.

Just when Ma Zichen and Dahu Xiaohu saw that the two days had arrived, and the things they needed to prepare were also ready, they just didn't see Xu Yang walk out of the room for a long time. The big tiger and the little tiger pushed Ma Zichen and motioned for the other party to knock on the door. Ma Zichen saw that the sky was close to noon, if he didn't leave, he was afraid that he would have to wait for tomorrow, wouldn't this delay everyone's trip?

Ma Zichen thought about it and walked towards the room where Xu Yang was resting, but when he was about to knock on the door, he heard a "squeak", the door had been opened, and then he saw Xu Yang standing at the door, full of energy and calm, as if he was a different person compared to before.

The big tiger and the little tiger saw Xu Yang coming out, and hurriedly ran to the other party's side, and when he was about to complain, he was also horrified to see that Xu Yang seemed to have undergone earth-shaking changes, but that change was only hidden in the body and never revealed outside. The three people who were familiar with Xu Yang saw that the other party was still dressed like that, but they could clearly see that the other party had indeed changed, but they couldn't say anything about the change, as if the other party's current mental outlook was not blasphemous, and it was very sacrosanct.

Xu Yang looked at the three of them standing at the door and looked at him, sneered, and said with a smile: "Do you have to wait until tomorrow to set off? If you set off tomorrow, then I will have to go back to the house." Then he closed the door and turned away.

"Wait. We're waiting for you, and it's time to go. Ma Zichen saw that Xu Yang was going back and hurriedly stopped.

Xu Yang looked towards the courtyard and saw five horses in the courtyard, the horses carrying large and small packages on their backs, and Ma Zichen's mother was standing in the distance. Xu Yang saw that the four of them were ready, walked out of the room, stretched his waist, and said, "Since everyone is ready, then let's hurry!

When Ma Zichen was about to explain to Xu Yang, he saw a woman coming out of another side room and said: "This Lian Gui's home is in Yucheng, and she herself wants to go back to her hometown to see, so she took the other party with her." Brother Xu, we didn't discuss it with you in advance, so please bear with me!" After speaking, that Lian Gui had already come to the side of the four of them, looking at Xu Yang with big watery eyes, and hoped that the other party would nod in approval.

"Anyway, so many of us go to Longjing, it doesn't hurt to have one more woman. Since the other party wants to go back to his hometown to see, what's in the way. Xu Yang said with a smile.

When Ma Zichen heard that Xu Yang agreed to go with Lian Gui, he smiled happily. The five of them said goodbye to Ma Zichen's mother, turned over on the horse, and urged the horse towards the entrance of the village. When the five of them walked towards the entrance of the village, the only remaining villagers in the village came to say goodbye one after another, and said some congratulations and other words. The villagers sent the five out of the village and said goodbye to them with tears, while Ma Zichen and Dahu Xiaohu also said goodbye to their relatives.

Xu Yang was still curious about whether Lian Gui could ride a horse, but when he saw the other party pedaling on the saddle, he was relieved when he talked and laughed. Xu Yang saw that the rope on Lian Gui's saddle had been significantly shortened, so that the other party could successfully stare at the saddle, otherwise he wouldn't even be able to step on the saddle, how could he ride a horse? After asking Ma Zichen, he found out that Lian Gui heard that the four of them were going to Longjing, so he discussed it with Ma Zichen in advance, and then used two days to practice horseback riding.

The five of them left Anning Village and walked all the way to the north, and in the villages they passed, they also saw some brightly dressed lifters either riding horses, donkeys, or mules, and even some hired a carriage to go north, while the vast majority of the people walked on foot.

Either only one person came out of these villages, or two or three people came out, and in some cases, not even one person came out at all. When these people saw Ma Zichen and the five of them, they were immediately surprised, and they wondered how the other party could have the money to buy horses? Ma Zichen naturally did not tell these people the truth, but said things perfunctorily, while these people did not ask any questions, and walked towards the north together.

Ma Zichen was naturally very happy to see that these people were going to go with him, so these people followed Xu Yang and the five people towards the north together. Xu Yang saw that although these people all had mounts, they were obviously inferior to their own horses walking fast, and they didn't walk for a while, so they needed to stop and rest, and those who walked towards Longjing on foot had already been left behind and couldn't see anyone.

In this way, Xu Yang and the five of them rode a high-headed horse towards the north, and the people around them gradually became scarce. By the time it was nearly evening, there was no one left with the five of them. At the same time, the five people also walked out of the scope of Changming County. If these five had walked on foot, they would still be halfway there, thanks to these five horses.

Xu Yang saw the sunset, and it took three hours to walk from the next county seat, if he came to this county seat, he was afraid that the gate of the county seat would be closed. Therefore, the five of them set up five tents on the side of the road, gave the horses fodder, and began to rest.

Just as the five of them had set up their tents and boiled water for cooking, they saw people riding donkeys or mules coming in twos and threes. When these lifters saw that the five of them had already started cooking, they were envious of the five horses' fast walking. The lifters either stayed to rest or continued their journey north.

After Xu Yang and the others finished eating, the people who came on foot came in a long time. These people who walked on foot gnawed on the dry food in their hands, looked at Xu Yang and others sitting on the side of the road chatting, shook their heads, knowing that they had no mounts to replace their foot strength, and only by keeping walking would they not fall behind these people, so they said hello hastily and continued to walk towards the north.

Xu Yang saw that tents had also been set up around his tent, and these people were discussing knowledge with Ma Zichen and talking about joy. As night fell, everyone fell asleep one by one, preserving their strength to be able to travel long distances. Xu Yang was sitting cross-legged in his tent to cultivate, but at this time, he could not continue to practice the "Past Mida Sutra", otherwise he would definitely frighten the surrounding people, so he could only cultivate his own method in the Five Clouds Temple.

The next day, after packing up their tents, they went their separate ways to the north. Naturally, Xu Yang and the five people took the lead in the lead, and from time to time they left the people around them behind. The horses of Xu Yang's five people did not run away, but just walked "tick-tock", otherwise they would have been able to get out of Hunan Province in less than ten days. In order to preserve the horse's physical strength, the five of them slowly urged the horse to walk slowly, anyway, Ma Zichen still has half a year to try.

When everyone walked towards Miyang County, they saw a big lake on the west side from a distance, and there was no end in sight, and this lake was Dongting Lake.

Ma Zichen looked at Miyang County in front of him, and said: "After walking through Miyang County, and then walking through Yueyang County, I will leave Hunan Province, and I will leave the hometown where I was born and raised." If it weren't for the fact that we didn't have these five sturdy horses, we probably would still be in Changming County, right? And my family is very poor, let alone buy a horse, and I can't even afford a donkey. I have to thank Brother Xu for his help, otherwise when I rush towards Longjing on foot, I don't know if I will be able to get there. ”

Xu Yang was about to say polite to the other party when he suddenly heard several horses' hooves coming towards him. Xu Yang and the others looked towards the place where the sound sounded, and saw three people coming from the east on tall horses, and these three people were dressed in bright clothes, followed by scholars and servants;

When these three people came to Ma Zichen's side, they were also surprised to recognize Ma Zichen, and left their eyes on each other's horses one by one, and then these people's scholars and servants came over.

Xu Yang saw these three people looking at Ma Zichen, and also looked at the three of them, only to see that the three of them were all handsome and well-looking young people in their early twenties, wearing red, blue, and green silk and satin clothes, shaking fans in their hands, and dressed as a son. On the other hand, Xu Yang's five clothes are much monotonous, all of them are cloth clothes, but they look a little unusual under the background of the horses.

Xu Yang saw that the scholars behind the three of them were all smart and clever people, and although the servants carried heavy burdens, they walked like flying without taking a breath, obviously having practiced some internal and external skills.

After the three of them looked at Ma Zichen and the five of them, they didn't know Xu Yang and Dahu Xiaohu, and the man in blue said: "Who should I have come here on a high-headed horse, but I don't think it was a prison man and Ma Ganlin! You are a poor ghost who lifts people, how can you have the money to buy such a good horse? It must have been stolen." Haha......" After saying that, the three of them immediately burst out laughing.

"Zhu Fuming, our horses were bought by Zhengda Guangming, how could they do the trick of stealing chickens and touching dogs? I was just wronged and wronged in prison, and now I have cleared my innocence and cleared myself of wrongs. Ma Zichen said indignantly.

The three of them heard Ma Zichen defend himself, and they didn't bother to listen to what the other party said, Zhu Fuming said: "I won the first place in the township examination, so I will definitely take the first place in the general examination this time." I can only hope that you, the unlucky guy, will not be able to make the list, so that I can be worthy of the title of you as a prison leader. Even if you bring the whole family with you, it is useless, and you will definitely end up with the name of Sun Mountain. With that, the three of them laughed again.

"Zhu Fuming, don't laugh at me, who will be able to take the top spot at that time is not necessarily good! Maybe it will be Your Excellency who will be defeated at that time. I have the right for you to study hard, lest you hate yourself for not reading much during the exam!" Ma Zichen said.

When the three of them heard that the other party actually said that they would lose the election, they were so angry that Zhu Fuming gritted his teeth and shouted: "How can you, a poor scholar who is poor and white, be on a par with us." What we have in our family is money and power, and the teachers we invite are all experienced people, and what we are taught is what we have learned from experience, and they are all the essence. On the other hand, how can you, a poor bastard, have the money to hire these famous teachers? You are just gnawing on a few broken books, how can you compare with us? On the other hand, how many of the people who have been promoted and passed the examination for so many years are from our rich families, and among the children of the poor, there are only three or three tribute students. I advise you to honestly go home with your tail between your legs and go to farm, and don't be there wishful thinking about being admitted to the Gongsheng and bringing revival to the family. ”

Ma Zichen heard the other party laughing at him, snorted coldly, and said: "Although our learning environment and resources are not as good as your rich children, as long as we poor children are willing to work hard, we will definitely be able to become Qing officials for centuries in the future." However, you who have wasted your fame, even if you are in high school, will only be moths of the country in the future. ”

"You damn poor bastard, you're just a mud leg, and you dare to reason with us. To tell you the truth, the things you learn are all crooked melons and cracked dates, and you haven't learned the essence of the key points, even if you forget to sleep and eat, it's just a waste of time, and you can't reach the level of being able to pass the exam, and you will definitely fail. If you don't believe me, let's wait and see who can laugh and become the real winner in the end. Zhu Fuming said.

Ma Zichen still wanted to refute the other party, but he saw Zhu Fuming glaring at him fiercely, and then raised his head and laughed and urged the horse to run away towards the north, leaving himself with billowing dust. After the other party saw that the other party had finished laughing at Ma Zichen, they immediately drove the horse away quickly, thus rolling up the dust on the ground. After all the dust settled, Xu Yang and the five of them were already discouraged, and they were so angry that they jumped like thunder and scolded the three of them loudly.

Xu Yang saw that the three of them were so arrogant, and when he was about to urge the horse to chase after the three, he was stopped by Ma Zichen and said: "The person who talked to me just now is Xie Yuan Zhu Fuming of this township test, and these three people are all sons and daughters of the rich side of Changming County, rich and powerful, presumably the first place in this test will be occupied by the three again." ”

Xu Yang saw Ma Zichen shaking his head and sighing on horseback, thought about it, and said: "Not necessarily, I think although the three of them can be high school tribute students, it is not so easy to get the first place in the exam." In Longjing, the examination is not the same as in Hunan Province, there are many wealthy and powerful people in the country, and there are not a few people who really learn from reality; and these three people are just nouveau riche, and they will not be arrogant for too long. ”
