"You shouldn't be like this!"

Behind Qin Zi, Zhu Chuyu whispered softly.

Because the group has been walking, and Zhang Biao has been making a loud voice, no one really noticed the condition of the two of them.

Qin Zi was also not taboo, and walked side by side with him generously, and said suspiciously:

"I don't know what Brother Zhu has to say?"

Zhu Chuyu was not a pity, he came to him with a smile, stretched out his finger in the air and said:

"Your posture is too high, if I'm not mistaken, Brother Zhang has already realized that you are unusual."

"Huh? What does that mean? ”

Qin Zi was really a little unsure what he wanted to say.

"Hehe," he smiled sheepishly, and then said, "I see that you have eyes, so I'll help you analyze it." ”

"We have a long way to go, and there are indispensable trekking along the way, even if you are confident in your foot strength, but in addition to the mountain and water barriers, the most troublesome cross-state is all kinds of passes, if you go alone, you will inevitably have a trouble, and you will miss the new season of the college."

"I don't know what Brother Zhu means?"

Zhu Chuyu smiled mysteriously:

"I mean, it's good that you can get along with Brother Zhang, but it's not enough."

"Although I don't know what your background is, I think you should have been born extraordinary, so naturally you don't have much experience getting along with those low-level people."

"So although you seem warm and kind, that kindness is exactly the embodiment of arrogance in your bones in my eyes." After saying that, he didn't forget to add, "Although I don't hate this arrogance." ”

Listening to his words, the smile on Qin Zi's face gradually disappeared, and after a long absence, his face was a little solemn.

Zhu Chuyu ignored it and continued:

"You have less contact with those at the bottom, so naturally you don't know, these people have a kind of inferiority complex that goes deep into the bone marrow."

"And this kind of inferiority complex can help them distinguish the so-called, superior atmosphere in those people."

"You may think you are very kind, but in the eyes of Brother Zhang, your arrogance is as obvious as fireflies in the dark."

Speaking of this, he lost his smile, and there was a little loneliness in his eyes:

"The saddest thing is that they can't even feel disgusted in the face of this arrogance, they will only be honored and flattered by your kindness."

"Low self-esteem, that kind of inferiority complex is like poison, it has penetrated deep into their bone marrow, and it is difficult to save."

Zhu Chuyu sighed slightly, then regained his smile and looked at Qin Zi:

"Now you understand, you shouldn't be like this, even if it's pretending, you have to pretend."

"Although they respect you now and have a good impression of you in their hearts, there has been a layer of estrangement between you, and this estrangement will greatly reduce the effect of your closeness to them."

Qin Zi was a little silent for a while.

He's always thought he was smart and could easily handle things like human interactions.

That's true, but it's more than that.

He is indeed easily capable of interpersonal communication, not that he brags, I am afraid that there are few people in the entire Luojian Mountain who can be better than him, of course, this is to get rid of those people from the outer door.

But this time, in Zhu Chuyu's eyes, his communication still seems to be lacking.

He was a little puzzled, who the hell is this guy? Why does he know so much about these things? And why did he tell himself?

Looking at his puzzled expression, he smiled slightly and said chicly:

"I said that we should take care of each other along the way, and seeing that you are still a little immature, I naturally want to take care of you."

Hearing this, Qin Zi also smiled and responded enthusiastically:

"Okay, let's take care of each other!"

Zhu Chuyu blinked, always feeling that something was wrong.

……

Two days ago, after Qin Zi came to Yunzhou City with Mu Mu, he was almost completely convinced that there were indeed rebels in Yunzhou.

The people here can be said to live and work in peace and contentment, and the pedestrians on the road have enthusiastic conversations from time to time, and it is completely impossible to see that they are in the rebel-occupied areas.

Qin Zi even walked around the city, although he said that he stayed in the mountains all the year round and didn't know the price of the mortal world, but when he walked beside the rice shop, he secretly listened to the conversation of several people inside, and it was obvious that the price of rice here was normal.

Thinking about it, judging from the scene I saw outside the city before, at least the farmers here have not been affected, and Yunzhou Mu is still in the mood to clear the fields, so it can be determined that the food guarantee here is no problem.

After all, although Yunzhou is not big, it is close to Luojian Mountain, the soil is fertile, the grain output is very high, and it has to deliver grain to the whole country every year.

However, these are just appearances, starting from Jichuan Town, Qin Zi has encountered a very strict interrogation.

The defenders in the city were all in good spirits, especially in Yunzhou City, where Qin Zi saw with his own eyes that the merchants who tried to pay bribes were suppressed on the spot.

This is not normal.

Next door to Yunzhou is the Luojian Mountain Range, and there are not even a few people in the continuous mountain range, so naturally there are no intrusive foreign enemies.

And Yunzhou is a big commercial state, in such a place, the army is easy to corrupt, how can it be so strict in peacetime?

Don't talk about the good mental outlook of the army, an army that has never fought a big battle in its life, no matter how much it trains its mental outlook, it will not be good.

Yunzhou is rich in grain production, and the exploitation is not serious, otherwise it would not be regarded as a test site for Qingtian, which leads to the fact that there are not many bandits in Yunzhou, only relying on the section of Huangzhou, there are some bandits near the Huanglongjiang River, and there are really no other places.

In such a place, even if the army is not disbanded in place, even if it is well trained, it can even be said that there should not be an army in such a place.

But Qin Zi saw the army stationed here with his own eyes outside Yunzhou City.

That alone confirms the existence of the rebels.

But there's a lot of weirdness here.

According to Qin Zi's experience in reading history books, in ordinary wars and chaos, not to mention the raging rebels, just the army stationed is enough for the people to make a living, but the people's livelihood in Yunzhou is unexpectedly good.

Or from another point of view, in a place like Yunzhou, where the people's livelihood is stable, there should be no rebels.

Could it be that the departure from the country has rotted, and some people in Yunzhou have risen up to resist the rotten rule?

Qin Zi couldn't figure it out, this matter was full of weirdness, and it was really difficult to draw any conclusions with the information at hand.

I couldn't figure it out, so I just didn't want to, Qin Zi simply arranged his identity directly, and then found the Chamber of Commerce in Yunzhou City, and went directly to Huangzhou Guanlan Academy first.

As a result, there is a plot where Qin Zi followed the "Fugui Chamber of Commerce" on the road today.

……

From a geographical point of view, we may be able to understand many things.

The land of Yunzhou is fertile, and it is surrounded by the Luojian Mountain Range, which is rich in various products.

With the size of the Falling Sword Sect, it naturally can't use resources that are so far away, so there is nothing to compete with the country.

But why is it that such a place that should be very prosperous is not the same reality?

The answer is traffic jams.

Yunzhou is like a buffer zone between the Luojian Mountains and the large plains of Dali.

Yunzhou itself is fairly flat, but it is blocked by mountains to the west.

This is a north-south mountain range, named Taiwu Mountain, also known as Taiwu Mountain.

It is this north-south mountain range that almost separates Yunzhou and Huangzhou, leaving only the southernmost part of the low-lying ground.

Such terrain makes the traffic in Yunzhou extremely inconvenient.

From the map, Yunzhou and Huangzhou are almost adjacent to each other, but if you really want to go from Yunzhou to Huangzhou, you have to go south, then change the waterway, and go along the Huanglong River, so that you can go directly to Huangzhou City.

However, as mentioned above, the topography of Yunzhou itself has become a north-south direction, so this section of the road seems to be not far, but it is really difficult to walk.

……

Qin Zi and his entourage started from the beginning, and walked slowly for three days, and they had to walk thirty or forty miles a day, which was actually not fast, it could almost be said that they were walking slowly, which showed that the Chamber of Commerce was already deliberately taking care of a few scholars.

But he walked for too long, Qin Zi naturally had nothing to do, this speed was like playing for him, after all, with his current physique, even if he walked the mountain road, he could be as fast as a horse, not to mention the official road that they all walked.

However, this amount of exercise is a bit outrageous for several other scholars.

Except for the two Lu brothers, who often practiced martial arts, everyone else was tired of dogs, including Zhu Chuyu, who Qin Zi had always suspected.

This kid, the more Qin Zi looks at it, the more strange he feels.

First of all, this person is definitely not ordinary, but he behaved very normally along the way.

Of course, normality here is not normal in the true sense, but refers to being very in line with Qin Zi's expectations.

It only took him half a day to get acquainted with everyone in the team, and his methods were extremely natural and did not feel deliberate at all.

There were a few chamber of commerce footmen who hadn't even spoken a word to him, but Qin Zi could tell from his expression that these people had a good impression of him, but when facing Qin Zi, there was obvious hesitation.

This completely confirmed his previous words, Qin Zi was too perfect in their eyes, so that they didn't dare to contact Qin Zi, but Zhu Chuyu, who had some minor problems, was very comfortable to get along with.

Along the way, the only thing that surprised Qin Zi was that although the physical fitness of this person named Zhu Chuyu was still good, it was better than those scholars who didn't exercise, and he still couldn't get out of the category of weak scholars.

This made Qin Zi a little puzzled again, was he really just a very smart ordinary person?

By the way, there were no bloody robbers along the way, of course, Zhang Biao has reminded that the bandits will definitely have them, and there are them on the road ahead, but most of the bandits still talk about the rules of the green forest, as long as they pay the tolls well, they will not be embarrassed, and it can be regarded as a reassuring pill for the scholars.

There is no trouble, Qin Zi is also happy and leisurely, and thanks to Zhu Chuyu's activity, the atmosphere of the group is very good, and there is no feeling of being estranged from each other at the beginning.

Qin Zi actually likes this kind of atmosphere very much, he sometimes thinks that if it weren't for a lot of things happening in the middle, maybe he could really be an ordinary scholar and trek through the mountains and rivers to go to the exam.

Every time he thought of this, he inevitably felt a little regretful.

I have only seen the scenery on the mountain, although I will still be nostalgic for the mountain from time to time, but I will never be willing to be a mountain person for the rest of my life.

He Qin Zizhi is determined to live forever, and he is a little confused, but it will dissipate immediately, how can he let it affect his mood.

He recalled Zhu Chuyu's previous evaluation of himself - there was arrogance in his bones.

He does not deny this.

He will not look down on those mortals, nor will he underestimate those who are not as talented as himself, but in his heart, there is an absolute, unshakable self-confidence, and it is this self-confidence that guides him to keep moving forward.

From the beginning of the departure to the fourth day, the group finally encountered the plot that the scholars in the book who went to Beijing to take the exam must encounter - over the mountain.
