Cao Zhan hurriedly shook his head and said, "Thanks to Mr. Tuo, the silver the three of us have earned in the past three years is enough for a lifetime's expenses." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoWe are here today to join the army. ”

Wang Yangming frowned, and said: "Join the army? The three of you are all weak scholars, and you don't even have the strength of a hundred catties, so what kind of fun are you going to the northwest battlefield." ”

Robben and Shi Yanduan were silent, as if they had expected Wang Yangming to say this, but Cao Zhan said: "Don't be afraid of Mr. jokes, although the three of us are powerless, we have also known since childhood that joining the army and serving the country is the right way in the world and the supreme glory." Finally, the Holy Lord issued a holy decree to all school-age students in the National Prison to join the army, and the three of us could no longer suppress this desire. ”

He paused for a moment, and saw that Wang Yangming was noncommittal, so he mustered up the courage to continue: "Actually, we still have a selfish heart, it is good to study here, but Daxia does not hold the imperial examination now, and after those of us graduate from here, we will not be able to enter the official career. But if you can mix a rank in the army, you will have glory in the future, and the life of future generations will be guaranteed. ”

Wang Yangming admired his honesty, thinking that this was what a flesh-and-blood character should say, and nodded: "This is reasonable." So what do you want me to help you with? If you want to join the army, can't you just go to the Religious Office and sign up?"

Cao Zhan showed a look of embarrassment on his face: "Mr. Bu said that we had already gone to the Sect Office to sign up in the morning, but the teaching assistants said that the three of us were too weak to meet the standards for the Great Xia people to join the army, so they eliminated us with one sentence." The two of them were very disappointed," he said, pointing at Roben and Shi Yanduan, and then pointing at himself: "But I think Mr. Thirteen is a master in the army, and now he has become a general, as long as you speak, the three of us will definitely be able to successfully join the army, so I came here with the cheekiness to ask Mr. for help." ”

Wang Yangming was silent, thought for a long time, and then stood up, paced in the room, and said slowly: "I can understand the thoughts of the three of you, and I know that you really want to join the army, but I have a few words that I am afraid will not be so popular, and I want you to hear them." ”

He didn't like it, but how dare the three of them not listen to his words, so they had to listen to it.

"We often say that God created the world, when creating people, God gave everyone different talents, some people are born smart, some people are stupid, some people are born with divine power, suitable for being military generals, and some are weak in humanity, but they are good at writing. Therefore, I believe that everyone should know themselves after they are born, and understand what they are suitable for and what they are not suitable for. When he said this, he looked down at the faces of the three men, and saw that their faces were not very good-looking, and he must have liked to hear them.

But for the safety of their lives, they have to say it if they don't like to listen: "The three of you once copied books side by side with me, and I can see that your writing is very good, this Journey to the West is said to be my work, in fact, you all have the ability to retouch and polish, it can be said that it is a common work of the four of us." But if I let you practice martial arts, I don't mean to belittle you, you can't even withstand a day's training. ”

"Not to mention being a soldier, going to the battlefield to kill the enemy, where the knife licks blood all the time, and it is impossible to survive without extraordinary physical strength and martial arts. So, if the three of you do go to the battlefield, I think at most a year, you'll all die. ”

At the word death, a trace of fear crossed the faces of the three of them.

"If you die, what will you do to serve the country?" Wang Yangming looked at the three of them steadily, and none of them spoke, although his words were mean, they were the most truthful.

"So," Wang Yangming said categorically: "For the sake of your safety, I must not help you join the army." But I think that if you stay in Chang'an and give full play to your talents, there will be less three corpses killed on the battlefield in the future, but there will be three more literati who have become famous through the ages. ”

The three of them bowed their heads silently, and after a while, Cao Zhan raised his head and said to Wang Yangming: "Mr.'s mind, the student has already understood." Please forgive the previous recklessness of the student. Then he got up and was about to leave.

Luo Ben and Shi Yanduan originally thought that Cao Zhan and Wang Yangming were familiar with each other, and they could speak well, maybe they could say that Wang Yangming agreed to the three of them to join the army, but they didn't want Cao Zhan to be persuaded by Wang Yangming in the end, so the two grabbed Cao Zhan and asked, "Is that it?"

Cao Zhan smiled bitterly and nodded: "Mr. is right, the three of us will only become a burden to our comrades when we go to the battlefield." We are in Chang'an, if we can do a good job, we may not be able to help the Xia people on the battlefield. I think that the pen can become a knife, and we can use our literary talents to cheer up our army and help them gain the moral upper hand, which is naturally the greatest help to the country. ”

Seeing that Cao Zhan had been completely persuaded, the two of them thought that this matter was hopeless after all, so they had to leave after saying goodbye to Wang Yangming. Wang Yangming heard what Cao Zhan said before leaving, nodded with a smile, and said in his heart that among the three of them, he had the highest expectations for Cao Zhan, it seems that this kid is indeed open-minded and smart, he just mentioned it, he already understood his words. Live, there is everything possible when you live, and everything is empty when you die, why can't you understand such a simple truth?

After getting Cao Zhan and the three of them, he sat down quietly, and only rested for a while, he felt that something seemed to be wrong, and after thinking for a while, he suddenly remembered: Usually no matter what he did when he came back, Biluo would wait by the side early, and he was very happy after seeing himself, twittering, so long has passed today, Biluo has not appeared yet, no wonder he feels that he is cold and strange.

Where did Biluo go? Wang Yangming was full of energy at the moment, but he didn't feel any fatigue, walked out of the door, first arrived at the place where Biluo lived, saw that the door was locked, quietly, and went to the library again, greeted Ye Qingmei, and heard her say that Biluo had been here before, and then disappeared. He asked a few people who were familiar with Biluo on weekdays, including Su Mu and others, and they all said that they didn't know where Biluo was. Wang Yangming was curious, his heart was blue and he didn't have any friends in the country, where would he go?

While thinking about Biluo's whereabouts, he walked around the courtyard and unconsciously walked to Xiaojing Lake. At this time, in the middle of summer, Xiaojing Lake is the most beautiful moment, the lake surface is smooth as a mirror, and occasionally there is a breeze blowing, sweeping a trace of ripples, which is even more secluded. The grass by the lake is manman, the flowers are in full bloom, and the purple and red are very beautiful. Wang Yangming walked slowly along the lake, and suddenly saw a figure sitting quietly among the flowers, thin and dressed in white, not who Biluo was!

"What are you doing here?" he shouted at Biluo's back. Bi Luo's shoulders shrugged suddenly, obviously startled by him, and hurriedly looked back at him. Her face was already thin, but now, somehow, it looks even thinner, with dark circles at the corners of her eyes, and her spirit is quite weak.

Wang Yangming hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Why is your spirit so bad? You have internal strength in your body now, shouldn't you be like this, are you injured?"

Biluo hurriedly stopped Wang Yangming and said softly: "I'm fine, I haven't slept well in the past two days, so it's a little unhelpful." ”

"Insomnia, what's on your mind?"

Bi Luo lowered his head and said slowly: "How can a person whose parents are dead have no heart. ”

Since Biluo followed Wang Yangming, she has been laughing and laughing in front of him, occasionally sad, mostly for love, and rarely hurting her life experience, when she mentioned it at this moment, Wang Yangming reacted, Biluo's parents died in the hands of the enemy, she was lost in her childhood, and occasionally remembered her life experience, so she naturally became depressed.

Wang Yangming hurriedly persuaded: "The past cannot be admonished, the comer can still be chased, you must not be too sad, otherwise your parents will not be able to turn a blind eye when they look at you in the sky." ”

Biluo nodded: "Brother doesn't need to persuade me, I understand all these truths, I'm fine, and I will naturally get better after a while." Brother, is your special training over, is it still going well?"

Wang Yangming shook his head and said: "The results of the special training can be said to be very fruitful, but after all, I failed to complete the set goal. ”

Biluo herself has begun to practice martial arts, so she naturally knows the distance from the seventh rank to the eighth grade, she heard Wang Yangming say that within three days, she actually practiced her internal strength from the seventh grade to the peak of the seventh grade, and covered her mouth and exclaimed: "Dean San really has the ability to pass through the sky, and he can actually let you reach the peak of the seventh rank so quickly." ”

"Master's method is naturally excellent, but I am not competitive enough. "It was about Lao Tzu, Wang Yangming didn't want to say more, Biluo was thinking about his own thoughts, so he didn't ask more. The two sat quietly for a while, and Wang Yangming suddenly said: "Do you remember the last time we went to the back mountain to find that place to bury bones, I actually fainted inexplicably?"

Biluo heard the word Houshan, and her heart moved suddenly, she almost encountered an accident in Houshan the day before yesterday, and she was extremely sensitive to this place, but she didn't want Wang Yangming to know that she had encountered danger, so she hurriedly covered it up: "I remember, you fell from the sky inexplicably, what?"
