Volume 1 Breaking the Cocoon into a Butterfly Chapter 12 The Quiet Lingyin Academy
The news of the war front line continued to spread like snowflakes to the chief rudder of the beggar gang.
The first thing Mu Qianmei did every morning was to pay attention to the news of the battle situation in Frost-Free City.
After dealing with the affairs of the beggar gang, he began to practice.
After she finished practicing, washed up, and was about to eat breakfast, the old Taoist priest and Feng Tianyu walked over while talking.
"Haha...... Fortunately, I had the foresight to summon the ordinary disciples of Frostless City back early, otherwise I don't know how many brothers I would have lost in this war! Feng Tianyu said with a smile.
"I'm afraid that the number of beggars in Frostless City is increasing unabated, although they are all people who have not joined our beggar gang, but they are all poor people in the world!" Mu Qianmei said a little sadly.
"Yes, the longer the war, the more beggars will definitely be, with our current strength, it is still impossible to accommodate all the beggars who want to join the gang!" The old Taoist priest also said worriedly.
Feng Tianyu thought about it and didn't speak again.
"By the way, old man, is there any problem with the brothers left over there?" Mu Qianmei turned to Feng Tianyu and asked.
"There are occasional cases where the fish in the pond are affected in the war, and it is inevitable that a brother will be injured, but we have arranged for Doctor Ye's apprentice not far from Frost-Free City to rescue at any time, it shouldn't be too much of a problem!" Feng Tianyu replied in a serious tone.
"How's the battle going over there now?" The old Taoist priest asked Mu Qianmei.
"Now that Eastern Qin will be difficult to attack for a while, Zhongwu has urgently transferred troops from other cities to Wushuang City. Moreover, Western Chu is also sending troops to defend its own barrier, and at the same time, the Northern Han and Shangyan Kingdoms, which are closest to Zhongwu, have also sent troops to support. Mu Qianmei replied slowly.
"What about Nantang and Yunyu Kingdom? Don't they go to help? Feng Tianyu also interjected and asked.
"It turns out that the reason why Dong Qin wants to prevent Qin Siyue from marrying Wu Mingjie is that he is preparing to marry her to the prince of the Southern Tang Dynasty."
"Now that the Southern Tang Dynasty has no excuse to send troops, the Eastern Qin Dynasty has repeatedly invited the Southern Tang Dynasty to crusade against Zhongwu together!"
"However, the Southern Tang refused to enter the war on the grounds that the domestic dispute had not yet been resolved."
"Yunyu Kingdom is said to have been the puppet country of Eastern Qin, and they will not move, but they may go to support Eastern Qin at any time."
Mu Qianmei still said calmly and methodically.
She didn't notice that Feng Tianyu's expression suddenly became very complicated when she said about Yun Yu Kingdom, and then she couldn't help but say nothing.
After Mu Qianmei and the three of them had breakfast, Feng Tianyu still had something to deal with, and the old Taoist priest became an idler.
Mu Qianmei said with a smile:
"Old Taoist, would you like to accompany me to Luoya City for a walk? By the way, let's see how our academy is doing. ”
"Okay, let's go for a spin. Hehe...... By the way, girl, what are you going to name your academy? The old Taoist priest also asked with a smile.
"Since it is built in Lingyin Mountain, let's call it Lingyin Academy! How about you do the work of writing the name of the college? I've heard that one of your previous calligraphy and paintings can be sold for 30,000 gold coins, and I'm looking forward to seeing your handwriting! Hehe......" Mu Qianmei said with a smile as she walked.
The two sat down in the carriage as they spoke.
"You girl, you really save money. Hehe...... However, I haven't written for many years, and I don't know if I can write words that satisfy you! The old Taoist priest said jokingly.
"As long as you write it, I will be satisfied."
……
The two gossiped all the way, and before they knew it, they arrived at Luoya City.
The carriage was moving slowly on Luoyun Street, and when she passed by the Moon Tower, Mu Qianmei couldn't help but stick out her head and take a look at this place where her fate had changed.
Very unexpected.
She actually saw a familiar carriage.
The carriage that knocked her to the ground and galloped away.
Mu Qianmei's mood was very complicated, thinking about the scene carefully, after the person bumped into her, she didn't care at all.
Maybe the man saw her as just a little beggar, so he dismissed her.
Thinking of this, Mu Qianmei's heart was endlessly sad.
"Little girl, what's wrong?" The old Taoist priest who felt strange asked softly.
"Can you ask the gang disciples to find out who the owner of that carriage is? It was the carriage that hit me at the time. Mu Qianmei looked at the carriage and said.
"Oh? It turned out to be this carriage! That's going to be found out soon. The old Taoist priest also looked at the carriage with a solemn face.
How can ordinary people afford to sit in such a luxurious carriage?
Mu Qianmei was not interested in shopping anymore, and after the old Taoist priest arranged it, they rushed to Lingyin Mountain on the northern outskirts of Luoya City.
When she was recuperating from her injuries, Mu Qianmei didn't pay much attention to it, but now when she looks closely, this mountain is indeed very beautiful.
At the foot of the hill is the moat of Loya City, and the clear water flows slowly along the foot of the mountain.
The river is clear and the weeping willows are clinging.
The green mountains and green waters always make people feel relaxed and quiet, and it seems that they are really far away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
The stone path in the mountains looks very quiet and cool under the shade of the trees.
Because the academy was built halfway up the mountain, it was necessary to carry materials up the mountain, and the road was also widened a lot.
The carriage slowly went up the hill along the winding mountain road, although it was a little bumpy, but the carriage swayed gently on such a road, which made people feel more relaxed and relaxed.
Came to the relatively flat place halfway up the mountain, that is, not far from the small wooden building of Doctor Ye, which has now been more empty and flat.
Three large wooden buildings and two small wooden buildings are under construction, the main body has been completed, and the workers are busy improving and decorating.
Seeing Ouyang Bo and Mu Qianmei walking down from the carriage, everyone greeted each other warmly.
In the Beggar Gang, the person everyone respects the most and is a little afraid of is the leader of the Feng Tian Yu Feng Gang.
The most affectionate are Master Ouyang and Miss Fluttershy, because they are always smiling and gentle and amiable to everyone they talk to!
Along the way, people keep calling out respectfully as "Master Ouyang" and "Miss Fluttershy".
The workers here, except for the architects and designers, are hired by other small workers, and the other small workers are beggars who help their brothers.
As soon as I heard that the beggar gang was going to build a academy for itself, everyone's enthusiasm was very high.
The beggars are also going to open a college!
Beggars can go to school too!
Some older people think that even if they can't go up, it's good that their juniors can go up!
The young and young people hope that the academy will be built sooner, and that they will be able to go to the academy to study and read and write.
Therefore, everyone's enthusiasm for work is very high, coupled with the strength of the large number of people, the construction progress of the academy is far beyond Mu Qianmei's imagination.
"It's built so fast!" Mu Qianmei couldn't help but admire.
"Yes, the brothers are very excited when they heard that our beggar gang is also going to build a academy, so the speed is much faster than usual." The old Taoist priest said with a smile.
"Huh...... Old Taoist, I think this academy will be built soon, and you will be the dean of this academy part-time! With your knowledge and prestige, this position is the most appropriate one. Mu Qianmei said with a smile.
"I'm not going to say yes this time! Ha ha...... The little girl thinks about calculating me every day, this old man, this old bone, I feel tired enough to be a military advisor, you better let me go! However, I can recommend you a more suitable person to take on the role. The old Taoist priest said with a smile.
"Oh? Who else is up to the task? Mu Qianmei asked strangely.
"Do you know what Elder Wang, who was last in line among the eight great elders, used to do?" Ouyang Bo looked at Mu Qianmei and asked.
"You never say anything about their past, so how can I know? Does he have a big background? Mu Qianmei aroused interest.
"He used to be a generation of great Confucians in the Yugu Continent and a great teacher of the Yunyu Kingdom. Since the monarch of Yunyu Kingdom became a prisoner, and the throne was inherited by Yun Shichang, a puppet of Eastern Qin, a generation of Confucians has been exiled to the people and mixed into the ranks of beggars. Ouyang Bo said with great embarrassment.
"So he still has such a story! It's tragic enough, I just don't know if he's willing to show his head like this now? Mu Qianmei asked with some concern.
"He can be a mysterious dean behind the scenes, and then Zhuang Shujun will be the vice dean on the surface, no!" Ouyang Bo put forward his own suggestions.
"Okay, then let's decide! Hehe...... Nothing, let's go back? Mu Qianmei asked with a smile.
"Alright, let's go back." Ouyang Bo replied.
When the carriage entered the city of Loya, someone immediately came to report.
"Master Yujun, the owner of that carriage has now been ascertained, and it belongs to Lord Yun Zipeng of the Yun Yu Kingdom Mission. They have been in the Northern Han for a long time, and it is said that they want to make peace with the Northern Han, but His Majesty has not summoned them for a long time. The man replied softly.
"Okay, if there's any more detailed news, you'll send it to the helmsman. Good work, you go down! Ouyang Bo commanded.
"Who is Yun Zipeng? can lead a group to the Northern Han to talk about peace, should also be a very important person, right? Mu Qianmei asked.
"He is now the secretary of Yunyu Country, this person has a good reputation, but he is a bit domineering, and he is a close confidant of the current monarch of Yunyu Country, and he is very important. The Northern Han Dynasty should not agree to make peace, because Yunyu Kingdom is now controlled by Eastern Qin, and the people in the upper echelons basically know it. Ouyang Bo explained in detail.
"Then let's put this matter aside for now. It's good that we keep an eye on their news! Mu Qianmei said softly.
So the carriage slowly moved west of the city.
When I was about to leave the city, I suddenly saw a large circle of people watching the excitement on the side of the street.
I faintly heard the cry of a child coming from inside.
"Let's get out of the car and take a look!" Mu Qianmei was not in a good mood and said lazily.
"Well, let's go, it's still early, so it's okay to take a look!" Ouyang Bo agreed, and got out of the carriage with Mu Qianmei.
When I walked to the side of the road, it turned out to be an old man lying on the ground, apparently out of breath, and two eight or nine-year-old children kneeling on the side and crying sadly.
The little boy was in tears, but he didn't cry, and his handsome little face had a resolute look, but with a little helplessness.
The beautiful little girl was crying, bursting into tears, and looking heartbroken.
Mu Qianmei couldn't help but feel sad for a while, and hurriedly ordered the disciples of the Beggar Gang who had been following them behind the carriage, asking them to take the old man and the child to the Beggar Gang Helm first.
This time, Mu Qianmei's mood was even more depressed.
and Ouyang Bo sat silently in the carriage all the way, and also walked to the helm of the beggar gang.
