A few men held on to the three embarrassed soldiers, who were shivering from the cold, their clothes and hair were soaked, and the stench of swill emanated.

Fan Ning was a little strange, didn't Lu Youwei run away? How did he also fall into the swill.

As soon as his mind turned, he understood that picking plums was naughty again.

The innkeeper looked at the three scholars with a disgusted expression, he was still waiting for the instructions of the master of the Liu courtyard, if the master of the Liu courtyard sent them away, then there was no need to enter the inn again.

At this time, the master of the Liu courtyard came out angrily, but when he saw the disgusting and embarrassed appearance of the three people, he was angry in his heart, and he could only forcibly hold back it in front of everyone.

He turned back and asked the shopkeeper, "Can you lend me a bathroom so they can wash?" ”

"This ..... All right! ”

The shopkeeper still gave face to the master of Liu's courtyard, and instructed the guys: "Take them to the bathing room!" ”

The man helped the three gentlemen to walk towards the inn.

At this moment, a strange voice came, "Poor children, I don't know if I can compete tomorrow?" ”

The head of the courtyard looked back and glared, only to see a tall and thin middle-aged man standing in the crowd, with an extra-large hooked nose on his face, and a mocking and smug smile on his face.

This person is Cheng Zhu, the master of Yuqing Academy, he looked at Master Liu, raised his eyebrows and said: "The three middle school students are actually drunk in Juxian Building, and the learning style of Yanying Academy is good!" ”

Courtyard Master Liu stepped forward and glared at him angrily, "You even know where they are drinking?" One has to suspect that this matter has something to do with Master Cheng. ”

Cheng Hehe sneered, "I'm very concerned about my opponents, unlike Master Liu, who can't even control his own students, yes, the two of us have always been the biggest competitors."

But this time I really didn't take you to heart, and I will defeat you openly, and the scandal of them being kicked into the stinking ditch will not be planted on my head. ”

Courtyard Master Liu said coldly: "It seems that you know very well!" ”

"Of course it's clear!"

Cheng said triumphantly: "I know where they are drinking, and I also know who kicked them into the stinky ditch, it is a person that Master Liu would never have imagined, do you need me to say it?" ”

"You don't have to talk about right and wrong here, no one will believe your words!"

Master Liu was worried about the three students, so he didn't bother to pay attention to him, so he left with a word.

Cheng looked at the eyes around him eager for the truth, he raised his head and laughed for a while, and slowly said to the back of the master of Liu's house: "Don't worry! I'll save some face for Courtyard Master Liu, sometimes it's more interesting not to tell the truth than to say it, Courtyard Master Liu, isn't it? ”

Courtyard Master Liu stopped, turned around and glared at him fiercely, and walked away quickly.

Cheng Zhi walked past Fan Ning, from beginning to end, he never looked at Fan Ning, Fan Ning couldn't help but smile and looked at him, this Cheng Zhu actually didn't see anything, and he was making a fool of himself here.

．．．．．．．．

The crowd slowly dispersed, and the whole inn was talking about it, and on the eve of the opening of the competition, such a wonderful scene happened that would surely be passed on in the later prodigy competition.

Unexpectedly, the head of the Liu Institute did not find the three students to settle the accounts, he just asked the teaching assistant to arrange for them to rest early, pay attention to keeping warm, and comfort them not to be affected by this incident, and to go into battle easily tomorrow.

But the master of the Liu courtyard himself was so angry that he didn't sleep all night, and Cheng's sarcastic words stabbed him in the heart again and again like a knife.

The head of the Liu Academy asked himself that the rules of the Yanying School were strict and the style of study was good, and Xu Ji and the others also performed well in the school and never drank alcohol.

But he couldn't have imagined that the students who usually follow the rules and are diligent and self-disciplined have become different behind the scenes?

What did Yanying Academy do wrong?

The head of the Liu courtyard thought hard all night, but he didn't come up with a reason.

．．．．．．．．

In the early morning of the next day, a bad news came, Xu Ji, Wu Jian and Lu Youwei were all cold because of last night's incident.

The owner of Liu Hospital was so anxious that he hurriedly asked the shopkeeper to boil ginger soup, and sent an assistant teacher to ask for a doctor.

In the room, the three of them were wrapped in thick quilts, sneezing one after another, and Wu Jian and Lu Youwei were very dissatisfied with Xu Ji.

Okay, I have to drink some celebratory wine to celebrate that Fanning can't compete.

caused them to be bullied by Fanning, but they didn't dare to say it, it's one thing for everyone to believe it or not, the key is to say it too embarrassing, in addition to being embarrassed, if Juppé comes out to confront them, their character will be labeled despicable and shameless.

The two kept complaining about Xu Ji, but Xu Ji bowed his head and was silent.

He was also full of regret in his heart, the score of the academy competition had to be counted in the individual competition.

If he loses to Sun Shan in the academy competition, no matter how well he plays in the individual competition, I am afraid it will be difficult to have a chance to be selected as a county priest in the end.

If you can't be selected as a county magistrate, you won't have the opportunity to take the boys' exam.

It is vital to every student's future.

Seeing that the faces of the three of them were very bad, the master of Liu Yuan sighed and said, "It's really not good, just give up today!" ”

Xu Ji was suddenly taken aback, he didn't care if Yanying Academy was at the bottom or not, he was more concerned about his future at this time.

Xu Jisheng was afraid that the courtyard master Liu would abstain, so he hurriedly said: "Please rest assured, even if we climb today, we will climb to the competition field." ”

Wu Jian and Lu Youwei also hurriedly said that they were just a little uncomfortable and did not affect the competition at all.

Courtyard Master Liu snorted heavily in his heart, and at this time, no matter how dissatisfied he was, he had to hold back.

He didn't mention what happened last night, and said softly to the three of them: "After drinking the ginger soup first, and then ask the doctor to prick you with a few needles to expel the cold qi in your body, it should be better." ”

At this time, the guy was holding a steaming ginger soup, followed by an old doctor who was more than a year old, with crane hair and a childish face, and a red face, his name was Yu Lu, and he was an old imperial doctor who retired from the palace and went home, and he was very famous in Pingjiang Mansion.

In order to let the three of them participate, Master Liu spared no expense to invite him.

At this time, Fan Ning appeared at the door and said to the master of the courtyard: "Courtyard master, then I will go over first." ”

Xu Ji's eyes were fixed on Fan Ning, their eyes were extremely hateful, in addition to hatred in Xu Ji's eyes, there was also a trace of a cruel smile, he could imagine that Zhu Pei didn't come, Fan Ning wanted to cry without tears.

Wu Jian couldn't hide his resentment, he gritted his teeth and said: "Fanning, if you do too much, you will definitely be punished!" ”

Fanning smiled slightly, "I don't quite understand what you mean by retribution?" ”

"Like someone breaking your hands and feet!"

Fan Ning said lightly: "Then Brother Wu might as well give it a try!" ”

Lu Youwei was scared in his heart, and he hurriedly pulled Wu Jian gently.

Wu Jian saw that Fan Ning's expression was indifferent, and he was a little weak in his heart, so he had to laugh dryly, "Really?" Then we'll see! ”

Courtyard Master Liu also felt that something was not right, and he glared at a few people fiercely, "What are you talking about?" ”

Fan Ning said with a smile: "Courtyard Master, Senior Brother Wu was beaten with a stick, and he had nowhere to vent, so he was angry with me!" ”

"I very much hope that all three of you will be admitted to the county taxi now, and don't stay in Yanying Academy in the future, let me be annoyed when I see it!"

Courtyard Master Liu glared at the three of them fiercely, and then pulled Fan Ning and walked out of the room.

Fanning turned back to the three of them and smiled: "I wish you all a smooth race, go further!" ”

"What are you talking this nonsense to them for?"

Courtyard Master Liu didn't hear the sarcasm in Fanning's words, and pulled Fanning out of the room.

Master Liu said to him and Pei Guang: "You go to the county school first, Zhu Pei will go over by himself, you can meet at the gate of the county school, I have to arrange the three bastards who are not angry, and I can't take care of you for the time being." ”

Fanning said with a smile: "This competition is related to their personal future, I believe they will work hard, and the courtyard master will no longer need to boost their morale." ”

Courtyard Master Liu nodded and sighed, "Go ahead!" It's up to you today. ”

Fan Ning hugged his fists and saluted, turned around and followed Pei Guang and left quickly.

Courtyard Master Liu looked at Fan Ning's back and sighed softly, if this kid can cooperate with Xu Ji in the competition, then this year's leader must be Yanying Academy.

It's a pity that the two turned against each other.
