Seeing that the sword-casting workshop was already on the right track, Su Qi also let Luo Ping go to Zhang Luo alone, sword-casting apprentices and shop guys can buy from the slave market, anyway, the most important thing in Yan Country is slaves, as long as there is money, it is easy to say anything. Moreover, Luo Ping is the most familiar with this set of Sword Casting Workshop, and now that he is enthusiastic, Su Qi has no need to meddle in it.

Although there is still a large amount of money to be solved, it is not so urgent now, and the remaining 1,000 gold should be enough to turn around for a while. Su Qi has decided that if he really can't make money, he will go to Old Lady Su or Tian You to borrow, both of whom are not bad for money. And I don't have to worry about not making money, after all, I have the business acumen of modern people.

After coming to Zhaowu City, Su Qi had already figured out that although cultivation requires daily hard work, there is no need to rush for quick success. For him, this period of school palace career in Zhaowu City is probably a rare leisure time in his life, and it is only right to take this opportunity to enjoy a leisurely life.

......

......

According to the order of "rites, books, military, and country", Mr. Xi, who talks about governing the country, was the last one Su Qi saw. This can be said to be the most characterless Mr. Teacher, and it seems that he is just an official.

This Mr. Xue Zhiyuan Xue is a typical traveling bachelor, originally from the Jin Kingdom, and later came to Yan Country to study, and was promoted by the old prime minister, so he started from the scribe of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and was promoted step by step, and also had some influence in the court.

It's just that as a Jin person, it is still difficult for him to gain the trust of King Yan after all, and he is a little sick and weak, so he resigned and went into hiding. It just so happened that there was a gentleman in the Zhaowu Academy who was talking about governing the country, so he was arranged here.

This Mr. Xue is a typical official style, his lectures are slow and methodical, quite official, and Su Qi listens drowsily. However, although Mr. Xue's lectures were boring, he was very familiar with the official system of the three kingdoms of Qin, Jin, and Yan.

The only pity is that this gentleman still has the pedantic spirit of an old scholar, and he disagrees with the new policy of the Qin State, but respects the system of the Jin State. Su Qi listened tastelessly and yawned repeatedly.

"I am really not interested in the four subjects of etiquette, calligraphy, military and state, Zhou etiquette and governing the country, and listening to these is a waste of life. As for calligraphy, although I am interested, I have been taught by Mr. Bai Ning, and there is no need to listen to these things in class. Although the marching department is also good, it is only on paper after all, and it is impossible to become a famous general in the world as soon as you learn it. In this way, I really didn't listen to this lesson. ”

Su Qi thought about it and shook his head helplessly. He turned his head to look and found that Zhou Chengguo and Han Yingnian still hadn't come to the class today. These two people didn't come to the last art of war class, and they didn't come to the statecraft class this time, and I don't know what the reason is.

Their small group still faintly takes Zhou Chengguo as the core, without Zhou Chengguo, and the remaining few people have no intention of gathering to drink, so in the past few days, several people have not invited each other. Su Qi himself is not too keen on socializing, so he doesn't feel anything wrong.

After class, everyone left. Su Qi has been doing a lot of chores recently, so he was a little distracted, and when he walked out of the temple door absentmindedly, he suddenly heard a slightly mocking voice.

"Su family boy, walk with some eyes, so as not to hit the pillar. ”

Su Qi frowned and saw that Zou Junhao was standing outside the hall, looking at him with a smile. Behind him, there are still those noble children who often accompany him, and Fan Hongji is also among them.

Fan Hongji looks much more normal than before, but that deep frustration has probably been buried deep in his heart, and he is afraid that it will become a knot.

Su Qi asked, "What advice does Brother Zou have?"

"Advice?" Zou Junhao smiled coldly, "Last time our business was not over, how long are you going to hide?"

At this time, Shen Cheng, Le Sheng and others had already left, and Su Qi stayed in the hall because he was in a daze, and he happened to be blocked by Zou Junhao.

"Private fighting is strictly forbidden in the school palace. Su Qi said.

"I know. Zou Junhao sneered, "But this is not a private fight, but a public challenge." If you don't dare to accept it, I'm going to make people make a big deal about it, and for a cultivator, not even daring to fight is a more humiliating thing than losing. What's more, if you have a special skill, why should you be afraid?"

"What reason do I have to fight you?" Su Qiqi said, "Although you think very highly of yourself, I really don't think it's a glorious thing to win against you." ”

"You!" Zou Junhao was furious, his eyes widened with anger. Listening to Su Qi's tone, it seemed that he had taken winning him for granted. But after all, he had some city government, and he calmed down in a moment.

"I know you're not in the pool, and the two of us will have to fight sooner or later. It's just that I entered the palace earlier than you, and I'm older than you, if I fight now, I'm afraid I will be said to be bullying the small. So, we might as well make a bet. Zou Junhao said.

"It's okay to bet, but you have to come up with the right chips. Su Qi said quietly.

"Yes. Zou Junhao nodded, "It's just that if you want to challenge me, you have to pass the level of Brother Fan first." He wants to overcome his demons. ”

Fan Hongji gritted his teeth and said loudly: "The surname is Su, although you showed mercy in the duel that day, I will never admit your affection! If you want to convince me, it is not so easy! If you have real skills, come to the arena to fight with me!"

"Fighting Arena?" Su Qi couldn't help frowning when he heard these three words. The arena is an indoor arena in the school's martial arts field, and it is a place for students in the palace to compete with each other, and it is very popular with martial artists. The arena will make a ranking of the top 50 in the academy, so it is regarded as an honor by many students. Su Qi had not been in the school palace for a long time, and he had not yet come into contact with these places.

"How about it, kid of the Su family, do you dare to accept the challenge? Fan Hongji lost to you last time, this matter has always been a dead knot in his heart, and it can only be untied after defeating you. He's now ranked forty-two in the arena, and if you're really brave, come to the arena to prove yourself. Zou Junhao said with a smile.

"Oh, so how many names do you rank in the arena?" Su Qi asked indifferently.

"Hmph, do you need to say this? Zou Gongzi naturally ranked first in the fighting arena. A kid next to him took the opportunity to pat himself on the back.

"Oh. Su Qi nodded, "What does Zou Gongzi mean, you are waiting for me to challenge in the first seat of the fighting arena?"

"That's right. Zou Junhao said proudly, "It's just that I'm going to leave the Academy in a year, so this bet is only about one year." ”

Su Qi smiled: "You are just a Three Realms, as if you have broken through the Nine Realms and are about to ascend." Okay, one year at a time, but, what about the bets?"
