Chapter 31: Premeditation

Seeing that Merry was silent for a long time, Feng Ziyang thought that he was worried that he would be assassinated again after going to the Academy, so he said: "Merry, you can rest assured this time, you will not be assassinated by others again when you arrive at the Strange Man Academy, the small killer mercenary group is just a joke in the eyes of the Strange Man Academy, and even those big sects dare not despise the Strange Man Academy." ”

After hearing this, Merry was a little curious and asked, "Grandpa, is this strange academy amazing?"

Feng Ziyang's face showed a rare sense of admiration, and he said leisurely: "This strange academy was created by an ancestor, and the purpose is to cultivate a group of young talents. The Strange Man Academy not only teaches people to cultivate, but also includes many things, such as: alchemy, refining, formation, governance, strategy and other profound knowledge. ”

"So, this Qiren Academy is also very strict in accepting apprentices, they must be under the age of twenty, either they are gifted, they are born martial arts wizards, or they are brilliant and real strategists, or they are born in princely nobles or great families. ”

After hearing this, Merry was a little puzzled, and asked: "Grandpa, it is reasonable to say that this person is gifted or has a brilliant mind, but why can princes and nobles or people from great families also enter?

Feng Ziyang shook his head and said, "You are wrong, do you want to!" That princely nobles and great families are actually the same, there must be many battles or schemes, and they come to the Strange People Academy more to learn strategy, the art of war or governing the country, and the Strange People Academy will naturally recruit them." ”

"Besides, although the Strange People Academy is a fascinating academy for the world, there are many students, and there are also many expenses during the period, all of which are supported by the great families and princes and nobles, just like our Feng family, we have to provide a lot of resources to the Strange People Academy every year, so they will make an exception for us families and princes and nobles to recruit. ”

After listening to it, I realized that an academy is so big, it always needs to be expensed, even if those teachers who have cultivated deeply do not eat, but the students all need to eat and drink, these all need money, and the source of these money is supported by princes and nobles and great families.

Seeing that Merry was listening carefully, Feng Ziyang was also in a good mood, and continued: "It is forbidden to fight in the Strange Man Academy, so you don't need to worry about your life." Of course, one-sided challenges are allowed, but they must not be life-threatening. ”

"Can I bring an entourage with me?" asked Merry.

Feng Ziyang shook his head and said, "In the Strange Man Academy, you have to rely on yourself for all your food, clothing, housing and transportation, let alone an entourage, even a maid can't take it." ”

Speaking of this, Feng Ziyang paused and said: "However, there are also many people who don't like to live in the academy and buy some houses outside the academy to live in, in this case, you can bring your entourage, after all, it doesn't matter if you live in the academy outside." ”

Seeing Merry's face of joy, Feng Ziyang couldn't help but ask, "Merry, do you want to live outside the academy?" I can tell you, living outside the academy is a very dangerous thing. ”

Merry replied nonchalantly: "Grandpa, don't worry, I have my own way to save my life, and I won't do anything I am not sure of." ”

Feng Ziyang said: "That's not necessarily, you know, in the Strange Man Academy, it is not the kind of talented cultivation wizard or the kind of person with extraordinary background, although our Feng family can be regarded as a behemoth in the entire Ling Yan Country, but the Strange Man Academy is not only the people of Ling Yan Country, you must know that the tree is a big wind, the more it is like this, the more dangerous it is." ”

Merry already had a plan in his heart, but he didn't take Feng Ziyang's words to heart, smiled, and said, "Grandpa, I have my own measure." ”

Feng Ziyang saw that he didn't take his words to heart, and wanted to persuade him to live in the academy, but seeing that he seemed to want to live outside the academy, it was not easy to ruin his interest, and he thought that he would have to secretly arrange some people to protect him when the time came.

Feng Ziyang looked at Merry and said: "There are still three months to go to the Strange Man Academy, tomorrow I will teach you and your second brother the Feng family's mastery, and when the time comes, you two will have to take care of each other when you go to the academy, and you must not fall into the name of my Feng family." ”

Merry was taken aback and asked, "Grandpa, is the second brother going too?"

Feng Ziyang nodded and said, "Originally, I was going to send you alone, but your second uncle said that the two of them had a care for each other, so they decided to send the two of you to the Strange People Academy together." ”

After hearing this, Merry sneered a few times in his heart, and secretly thought: "Presumably the second uncle wants to find the second brother to spy on me! ”

Seeing that Merry was silent, Feng Ziyang thought that Merry was a little unhappy in his heart, and said: "Merry, although there is a bit of estrangement between your father and your second uncle, but after all, they are brothers, although your second brother is a little smart, but I believe that you will definitely not suffer." At this, there was a hint of imperceptible wisdom in his eyes.

Merry nodded and said: "Grandpa, I know, even if the second brother doesn't like me, it's just a gap between our family, but if he bullies outsiders outside, I will never sit idly by." ”

Feng Ziyang showed a smile on his face after hearing this, and said, "It's good that you can think like this, grandpa believes that you are an understanding person." Remember, everything is based on the overall situation, and the people of the Feng family must not be bullied by outsiders. ”

Merry and said, "I understand! If there is nothing to do, the grandson will retire first." ”

Feng Ziyang nodded and waved his hand, signaling that Merry could leave.

Just when Merry had just walked out of the Listening Wind Pavilion, he heard Feng Ziyang shouting, "Wait!"

The wind turned around and asked, "Grandpa, is there anything else?"

Feng Ziyang stroked his beard and said, "Tomorrow, I will first teach you and Fengguang the mantra of the Feng family's mastery, you write it down first, and then practice it slowly, because tomorrow we have to set off for the national capital." ”

Puzzled, he asked, "What do you do when you go to the country?"

Feng Ziyang said: "To go to the Strange Man Academy requires the hand of the emperor of each country, only after having the emperor's hand can you enter the Qi Man Academy, your father will ride the flying beast away, tomorrow we will ride to the national capital early in the morning, so as not to get there after dark." ”

The merry "oh" sounded, and he had already left, but before leaving, he was secretly thinking in his heart: "How troublesome it is to ride a horse!"

As soon as he returned to the Fengling compound, he heard the sound of motor vehicles coming from the courtyard, and he followed the reputation, only to see Xiulan riding on a motorcycle, shouting excitedly: "Have you seen it? I can ride away too." ”

Before he finished speaking, suddenly the motorcycle tilted, and the whole person was thrown off the car.

Merry couldn't help but laugh, and the few people watching next to him were also happy and laughing.

Xiulan couldn't get angry, stood up, kicked the motorcycle that fell to the ground with her foot, and scolded: "What the hell? ”

At this time, the merry man strode over, and when everyone saw it, they said in unison: "Young master!" The voice was full of awe, which was completely different from the beginning.

At the very beginning, everyone was just obeying him because of the identity of the merry, and after a period of contact, everyone found that the wisdom and talent of the merry were not inferior to the wind at all, and they slowly began to admire this young master from their hearts.

Merry nodded to everyone and asked, "How are you practicing?"

The leader was named Zhang Hua, who was the captain among the crowd, and stood up and replied, "Young master, everyone already knows how to ride, and there are several of them with good skills. ”

Merry said "um" and said, "Tomorrow I will go to the national capital with my grandfather, and there must be a lot of risks on the way." ”

Xiulan was anxious after hearing this, and blurted out: "Since the young master knows that there will be danger, then don't go." ”

Merry shook his head and said, "Go, why don't you go?" I'm just going, and I'm going to go blatantly. ”

"Why is this?" asked Zhang Hua puzzled.

Merry eyes closed slightly, revealing a trace of imperceptible murderous intent, and he sneered: "This time, I want to let those assassins go and never return." After saying this, he suddenly turned to Zhang Hua and said, "Do you remember what I invented two months ago?"

Zhang Hua suddenly came to his senses and blurted out, "The young master wants to put that thing to use?"

Merry sneered and said: "I have arranged for a few people to train quietly last month, I believe they can already operate very well, although this time I went to the national capital, although grandpa will bring a lot of masters by his side, but it is just self-preservation, my merry style of doing things is different, what I want is to kill!"

Zhang Hua has long admired the merry, he was a thief in his early years, and he was not a kind-hearted person at all, but later he was saved by Feng Ling in a serious injury, because he was grateful for Feng Ling's life-saving grace, and admired Feng Ling as a person, so he stayed by Feng Ling's side.

Although Zhang Hua admires Feng Ling, he has always felt that Feng Ling is too generous and benevolent to people, just like Feng Ling knows that Fengyun is secretly playing ghosts, and he also has the strength to deal with Fengyun, but he has always endured it with the brotherhood many times, but Zhang Hua has always disagreed with this, and now he has met Merry and seen Merry's resourceful methods and how to deal with people, Zhang Hua admires this young master from the bottom of his heart.

Seeing that there was a murderous intent revealed in Merry's eyes, Zhang Hua knew in his heart that it would be good if nothing happened to him on his trip tomorrow, and if someone really came to assassinate, few people would be able to leave alive, because he knew very well the means of Merry, although Merry was not a person who must be compared, but it was obviously not a good stubble.

At this time, Merry pondered for a long time, and said to Zhang Hua: "Zhang Hua, you go and help me get a map, and the route to the national capital should be clearly marked on the map." ”

After hearing this, Zhang Hua already knew the young master's plan, so he answered and went immediately.

Xiulan was puzzled and asked, "Young Master, what do you want the map for?"

Xiulan is her daughter's family, and it is inconvenient to say anything to her, so she just smiled and said, "Sister Xiulan, there will be a good show to watch tomorrow, do you want to go?"

After hearing this, Xiulan said happily: "Go, of course I have to go, I haven't been to the national capital since I was so old!"

After a while, Zhang Hua had already brought a map, and Merry led a few people into the basement and began to discuss.

This map is very detailed, and there are two ways to get to the capital, one by water and one by dry road. The waterway is a little closer, you don't have to go around the mountains, you can go directly to Lijiang, which is ten miles away from the national capital, while the dry road is a little farther.

Merry frowned, and said for a long time: "Although the waterway is closer, it is much more dangerous, if the enemy is secretly ambushed in the water, it will be a little troublesome to deal with, presumably grandpa must want to get this, so I think grandpa will definitely take the dry road." ”

Zhang Hua nodded.

Merry looked at the map again, then pointed to the map and said, "This is an ancient forest, connected by the foothills on both sides, it is a good place to ambush, if I want to ambush, I must choose this place." ”

Zhang Hua looked at it and said, "Wouldn't it be very troublesome for us to deal with it tomorrow?"

Merry shook his head and said, "No, we have trouble to deal with, and others have the same deal with it, since I already know it, I must have a way to deal with it, and disciplining the other party will not please me." ”

"What does the young master mean?" Zhang Hua asked with a puzzled face.

Merry smiled, patted Zhang Hua on the shoulder, and said, "You can watch it by my side tomorrow! ”

After saying that, there was another sneer, and he walked away.

Zhang Hua touched his head and said to himself, "Good show, I'm looking forward to it!"
