After leaving home, those students were still more excited at the beginning, arrogantly scolded Fang Xuan, talked about various court affairs, scolded those who were in the court with wine bags and rice bags, and told their ideals.

Some want to benefit one party, some want to change some regulations and policies of the imperial court, and some want to compile historical records.

Only Zhao Yan always looked absent-minded, sitting in the carriage lazily listening to the other students' talk.

When other students asked about Zhao Yan's wishes, Zhao Yan smiled lazily and replied: "I don't have much potential, I just hope that I can serve as the county governor or county lieutenant of our Xishui County after winning the list, and it would be better if the imperial court could let me take over the post of county commander......"

Hearing Zhao Yan say this, those students immediately frowned and persuaded them, in their words, with Zhao Yan's talent and learning, he will definitely be able to be named on the gold list, and he will inevitably be reused by the imperial court at that time, etc., Zhao Yan's mentality of being at ease with what happens must have a higher level of goal pursuit.

To sum up, these students are greenhouse flowers who have not been beaten by society, and when they get to Zhongzhou, they will understand how ridiculous what they said before.

In fact, there is no need to wait for Zhongzhou, when there is still more than a month away from Zhongzhou, this team is already embarrassed.

The luck of these students was good, they met a large number of horse thieves, and dozens of guards were all killed in battle, while Zhao Yi and other students escaped under the desperate escort of those guards and entered a deep mountain and old forest.

Those students who were still excitedly fantasizing about their future gold list titles are now gray-headed and ragged, like beggars walking carefully through the deep mountains and old forests.

After the scene before, I saw the tragic and bloody scene, which really frightened these students, and many of them were unstable, and their spirits were already on the verge of collapse.

Only Zhao Yan still maintained the calm appearance before, as if the bloody scene before was not worth mentioning in front of him.

I know very well about Zhao Yan's life, he is a scholar who has no power to tie chickens, and he will avoid him when he kills chickens and sheep at home since he was a child, for fear that Zhao Yi will be frightened when he sees blood.

Now, when those guards died tragically, he didn't even have the slightest look of panic and fear, and his eyes remained calm all the time, which was very abnormal.

A normal scholar should tremble like the students around him, one by one with the frightened quail, Zhao Yan's calmness makes me suspicious.

I can be very sure that in the previous ten years, Zhao Yan did not behave in any special, no different from ordinary mortals, and I often secretly probed his internal situation, and found nothing.

Why was he able to maintain such a calm posture in such a bloody scene?

This wasn't pretending, he really didn't care about the bloody and tragic scene before, and even when a loyal guard blocked a few swords for him, there was not the slightest emotional fluctuation in his eyes.

Ruthless?!

No, he doesn't have any ruthless aura on him!

The most important thing is that Zhao Yan has not been like this since he was a child, and all kinds of emotions of joy, anger, sorrow and joy are reflected in him, just like normal mortals.

When did he become like this?

After coming out of Xishui County, it became like this?

Or is it that all those emotional changes in the past are disguised?

I was curious and puzzled, waiting for the development of the situation, this deep mountain old forest is not safe for these young students, if there is really something strange about Zhao Yan, it will definitely appear in this deep mountain old forest.

In the evening, there was a faint sound of tigers roaring and wolf howls in the distance, which made these students tremble, and even a few timid students had already broken down and cried bitterly.

"Look, there is an ancient temple in front, we can settle there, even if there are jackals, tigers and leopards and other beasts, we can rely on that ancient temple to resist......"

A tall student pointed to the front excitedly, cheering up the students around him.

Is it a happy thing that an ancient temple appears in the middle of the old forest in the mountains?

Anyone who has a little common sense of survival in the wild will not hesitate to stay away from the somewhat dilapidated ancient temple at this time, but these students are flowers raised in the greenhouse, and they are all tired at this time, and it is undoubtedly a happy event for them to have an ancient temple to settle down and rest.

Zhao Yan was still calm, and with those students, he quickened his pace and walked towards the ancient temple.
