Chapter 736: The Woman Behind the Dean
Outside the city lord's mansion, Fan Bohou came with anger and left with anger.
Those instructors could see from his expression that his negotiation with Gao Xiujie was not going well, so they all got up and followed him and walked to the students waiting outside.
After Fan Bohou adjusted his mood, he said to the middle-aged teacher who stayed outside:
"Tell everyone to go back to the academy!"
As he spoke, he led a group of teachers and practitioners to the front, followed by thousands of students and countless onlookers.
When they returned to the gate of the Royal Academy, Fan Bohou suddenly stopped, turned and stood on a higher stone platform, raised his hand and said in a loud voice:
"Today's matter, I feel as angry as you, our court is no longer the court of the past, the current Xiyu country has long been divided, our Linghai City has become someone else's territory, in our own land, but we can't be the masters of the house, this is what we can't tolerate."
"The city lord of Linghai City thinks that those newspapers and pamphlets were printed by our Royal Academy, although I know that they are not, but I do not deny it, because what is written on them is true and credible, and we are not willing to become slaves of the country."
"Our court lures wolves into the house, the country will not be a country, newspapers and pamphlets are just to wake up the sleeping people, they appear very timely, we should actively respond and participate."
"Today we have paid for this, if the situation is allowed to continue to develop, we will pay even more lives, it is said that the army of Longxiao Kingdom stationed in my Xiyu Country has reached more than one million, all under the pretext of aiding our people, but, I have not received their assistance? No. ”
"The spirit stones they spent were only enough to buy the officials of the imperial court and become their lackeys."
"Where there is oppression, where there is resistance, in the face of oppression, we choose to resist right, however, resistance also needs a strategy, can not directly fight with their army, how many of us have, how many of them, everyone can understand that to fight them directly in this way, it is just an egg to hit a stone, sacrifice in vain, but there is not much value."
"For the sake of peace, for freedom, for dignity, we can not be afraid of death, but we must die meaningfully, therefore, I hereby appeal to all of you to be patient for a while, to lie dormant first, to wait for a better time, and then to take advantage of the situation, in order to avenge the death of our compatriots, and to drive the invaders out of our country."
Speaking of this, Fan Bohou looked around at the crowd in front of him, there were students from the Royal Academy, as well as ordinary people, seeing their unwilling and helpless expressions, Fan Bohou couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart, but he still asked loudly:
"Do you understand?"
Everyone replied in unison:
"Got it!"
Fan Bohou immediately raised his hand and said:
"Let's all disperse, you all have to be ready, when necessary, I will summon you at any time, I hope that the West Rain Country will have a day to see the light again!"
Only then did the crowd slowly disperse, and Fan Bohou instructed the teachers around him:
"Send our unfortunate student back and give a pension to their family to comfort his relatives."
After watching the teaching and students gradually finish, Fan Bohou walked into the Royal Academy with a solemn face.
Although the Royal Academy in Linghai City is not as big as Yong'an City, it can be regarded as the second largest, and the total number of students is also fifteen or sixteen, and there are about 20,000 people with the teaching and handyman staff.
It's just that the people in it are relatively mixed, some are still literate, some are practicing martial arts, some like astronomy and geography, some like dancing and ink, and everyone's cultivation is also different, uneven, and it is difficult to form a unified whole.
He couldn't let these students die in vain, so he had to find a way to find a path to the light for them.
After returning to the dean's office of the students, Fan Bohou was quietly thinking about the current situation alone, and he fell into deep thought.
After a while, an old lady in her sixties walked slowly with light steps, and without knocking on the door, she opened the door and walked directly into Fan Bohou's office.
Because of her relatively light movements, Fan Bohou didn't even notice anyone coming in, and the old lady didn't disturb him who was thinking, but stood quietly on the other side and waited patiently.
After about a cup of tea, Fan Bohou woke up with a sigh, and when he came back from his contemplation, he immediately sensed the presence of the old lady, so he said apologetically:
"Senior sister, when did you come in, why didn't you call me."
The old lady said with a soft expression:
"I see that you are thinking about things so much, so I don't want to disturb you, are you thinking about what happened today?"
Fan Bohou nodded and replied:
"Alas, yes, today's incident suddenly woke me up, our country has really reached a very critical moment!"
The old lady kept a relatively flat tone and said:
"It's not a matter of one or two days, and it's just that you shut yourself in the study all day long, writing and talking, and you don't hear what's going on outside the window, so you can be so late to know, as a dean, your reaction speed is not very good."
Fan Bohou said with a bitter face:
"Since the outbreak of the civil war, I don't want to hear any news about the progress of the civil war, and listening to such news is just adding to my troubles, so I choose to write a book behind closed doors, which can be regarded as keeping myself in a peaceful state of mind."
The old lady also looked a little sad and said:
"A civil war, 20 million dead and wounded, so many lives for the royal struggle for the throne, it is indeed a very worrying thing."
"However, dodging is not a way, people need to face a bleak life after all, especially you, senior brother, you are the helmsman of our Linghai Royal Academy, the future of all the teachers and students is in your hands, and you are responsible for them."
Fan Bohou nodded and replied:
"Yes, things are coming, you can't hide, you can't escape, I thought that when the civil war ended, the people should be able to live a peaceful life, but I didn't expect to face a more dangerous situation."
"Internal and external troubles, the country will not be a country, how can our court come to such a situation now?"
The old lady was not surprised and said:
"This situation is actually expected, you like to play chess, don't you like to lay out and take a few good moves?"
"If you don't choose to escape when the civil war breaks out, but think about it more and you can understand that the consumption of the civil war will inevitably cause other countries to wait for the opportunity to move, and people's hearts will be unstable, and people will take advantage of it, and a large number of people will be bought by them."
"From this, it can be inferred that in the next step, the Demon Realm will also intervene in this battle, and the West Rain Country is likely to face an even more difficult situation."
Fan Bohou said with a look of shame:
"Yes, it's true that I'm acting rashly, because I hate this war, so I chose to escape, so I realized it in hindsight."
"Actually, over the years, although I have been the dean, in fact, every critical time, it is you who help me, so that the Royal Academy of Linghai City has always been one of the best colleges in Linghai City, and in terms of managing the affairs of the Academy, my junior sister's ability is above me!"
The old lady smiled and said:
"Between husband and wife, how can we be so clear, after marrying the senior brother, we will be one, and the senior brother's business is my business, so I naturally have to share it for you."
"Although you don't have so much thought in managing specific affairs, but in terms of learning, you are better than me I don't know how many times, I think back then, you talked about the past and the present, and you were high-spirited, I don't know how many senior sisters and sisters of the same age were fascinated, and in the end you chose me who was ordinary in talent and appearance, and I was more lucky!"
Fan Bohou also seemed to evoke some old memories, the expression on his face became nostalgic, a little more energetic, and then said with a somewhat embarrassed tone:
"When I was young, I didn't know the height of the sky, when it came to the general trend of the world, I felt that it was so simple, when it came to learning, I also thought that I was only eight buckets, and I was rich in five cars, and as I grew older, I gradually understood that the world I knew at that time was different from the real world, and the knowledge I knew at that time was just a surface."
"This is probably the so-called fearlessness of the ignorant!"
"At that time, although the junior sister was not the most outstanding person, but it was the most unique one, restrained with wisdom, quiet and calm, which I did not have, at that time I felt that we should be able to complement each other, so I chose the junior sister without hesitation."
"For so many years, my junior sister has been my virtuous helper, which is enough to prove that my choice is indeed not wrong!"
But the old lady said softly:
"Every age has a way of living at each age, if there is no passion and vitality in the youth, is it still called a teenager?"
"Think about it, if you were an old man when you were young, would there still be so many people who like you and worship you?"
Fan Bohou showed a relieved expression when he realized something, and then pulled the topic back and said:
"From Senior Sister's point of view, what should I do to bring the academy out of the predicament?"
The old lady smiled and said:
"Actually, Senior Brother has already made up his mind in his heart, but he just doesn't want to make a decision, isn't he?"
Fan Bohou said in a heavy tone:
"Yes, I know that it is a smooth road, but I don't dare to make a choice easily, because we have been teaching our academy to be loyal to the country and the imperial court, but now there are two imperial courts in the Xiyu Kingdom, and when the forces are divided, we are assigned to the side of the Second Highness."
"In terms of identity, His Royal Highness is indeed the rightful heir to the throne, but the eldest prince was killed by him, and it is a crime of killing the monarch, and Mu Qianmei is just a heavenly king canonized by the imperial court, it is said that a person without royal blood cannot become the emperor of the country, and his name does not match the imperial court system."
"This puts us in a dilemma, if we are not careful, we make the wrong choice, and we will never recover!"
