Chapter Seventy-Seven: Awakening

After leaving the Liu Mansion, Nie Lin did not ride a horse or take a carriage, but walked directly to Tianlu Academy.

It has only rained, and the stone road outside the city is not as clean and easy to walk as the paved road in the city, and it is a little muddy.

However, there were few pedestrians on the road, and Nie Lin walked briskly, walking like a gust of wind, but he didn't feel that it was too far from the three-mile distance of Tianlu Academy.

There is a village separated from the academy and Bazhou City, and there are only about 30 households, and the village is surrounded by a green vegetable field and wheat field.

Around the field, the air was very fresh and humid, and when Nie Lin passed by, he felt that the qi of heaven and earth began to change, but he also felt clean and natural.

Dada~~!

As he passed through the village, he suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves coming from the middle of the road, and he had reached the vicinity.

"Nie Lin, drive!"

Immediately, as the sound of the horse's hooves approached, a sound of surprise came, and the sound of the horse's hooves quickened considerably.

When Nie Lin heard this voice, he was also a little familiar, so he turned his face and saw two horses parallel on the road, and there were two young men on the horse, a man and a woman, the man was handsome and straight, and the woman was delicate and charming, just like a pair of chivalrous couples who were talented and beautiful, it was Tu Chengzhong and Xiao Xiao.

Tu Chengzhong came to Nie Lin's side, and after slowly stopping, he jumped off the horse and said with a gentle smile: "Brother Nie, where are you going?"

Xiao Xiao also came from the horse, looked at Nie Lin a few times with beautiful eyes, and the two led the horse to meet him, parallel to Nie Lin.

Nie Lin said, "I'm going back to Tianlu Academy!"

"We also happen to have something to go to Tianlu Academy, just right, you and I will ride together, I'll give you a ride, so that you can save some distance!"

"Brother Tu is also going to the academy?" Nie Lin was a little surprised.

Tu Chengzhong had already gotten on the horse at this time, beckoned to him, and said, "Come on, let's talk as we walk!"

Nie Lin was not polite, so he got on the horse, rode with Tu Cheng [***], Tu Cheng lightly clamped the horse's belly, and after the horse trotted on the road, Tu Chengzhong asked: "Brother Nie, this time Tianlu Academy participates in the national triennial sword boy competition, have you participated in the qualifiers?"

"Brother Tu went to the academy for this matter?"

Tu Chengzhong said: "I went to the academy, it is the Sword Pavilion Rongtang Association that needs to record and verify the participants this time, this year there are some children of the family from other places to study in Tianlu Academy, Sword Pavilion needs to be recorded, and there is another thing, I need to go to Tianlu Academy to do an investigation and collect evidence!"

Nie Lin didn't ask curiously, just nodded and fell silent.

Tu Chengzhong saw that Nie Lin didn't seem to have the intention of talking, but just smiled and said, "Brother Nie, I don't seem to care about this sword boy competition, don't you plan to participate?"

"The academy has been promoted to a large teaching institution, as a student of the academy, if the academy needs it, I have to contribute, but I have other things to do, so I am not going to participate in this qualifier!"

Hearing this, Tu Chengzhong was a little surprised, and said: "Such a good opportunity, why don't you participate, with your conditions and strength, there is no problem in getting the ranking, besides, I heard that the rewards of this sword boy competition are different from the past, this competition is only a qualifier in various places, and it is already a high level of attention from all parties, this year, those children of the family ran to Tianlu Academy, I am afraid that they also want to occupy one more place, and finally go for the reward!"

Nie Lin listened to Liu Yichen talk about this matter, even if the reward was related to the items left over from his previous life, if it wasn't for the two things he cared about, he didn't care about the rest.

Xiao Xiao saw that Nie Lin didn't seem to have the slightest interest in these things, and was a little curious, so he opened his mouth lightly and said: "The Sword Boy Competition is generally only for local schools, and it is also an important part of the school's specification evaluation.

Like Tianlu Academy, in fact, the specifications have long had the qualifications of a large teaching institution, but the previous kendo has always been a weakness, resulting in the total score has never met the requirements of promotion, when I and Chengzhong participated in the first session of the academy, but did not achieve the ranking, this is always a place that makes us feel regretful, and this year's session, maybe there will be improvement, we hope you can participate!"

Tu Chengzhong seemed to see something, so he explained: " In fact, this time Tianlu Academy reported three places for kendo competitions, including your name, we are just curious, why don't you plan to participate, if you have something else to do, three months is not short, and then go to Xiazhou to participate in the semi-finals, there should be plenty of time, and the end of the year is the national finals of the Sword Boy Competition, in this process, next month the Sword Pavilion will also have a sword conference, if you want to participate in this sword conference, there is still a chance, there is no conflict in time!"

"Are you saying that it will be three months later to participate in the semi-finals in Xiazhou, and the national competition will be at the end of the year?"

Tu Chengzhong nodded: "Yes, in fact, we still hope that you can represent Tianlu Academy to participate in the competition, if you need our help with anything, just ask!"

Nie Lin was silent.

......

While talking, they unconsciously crossed the river bridge, and the three of them had already arrived at the gate of Tianlu Academy.

There are several luxurious red-topped carved dragon carriages with heavenly brocade decorations parked at the entrance of the academy, and the horses are also very valuable sword horn horses unique to the Changge Empire, which adds a kind of nobility to the carriage, and it is obviously a carriage that only princes and nobles are qualified to ride.

If it is a carriage with a gold-topped carved unicorn, then only the royal family is eligible.

After Tu Chengzhong got off the horse, when he saw the carriage, he couldn't help but glance at Xiao Xiao, and said suspiciously: "In addition to the fact that there is a King Wuying in Tianlu Academy this year, is there any prince and disciple who has come?"

When Tu Chengzhong was talking, Nie Lin walked to the gate of the academy at this time, and the master who guarded the door said with a stern expression after seeing Nie Lin: "The academy is now a normal school time, why are you running outside again?"

The janitor's surname is Su, and he is usually a very kind person, but it's a little strange today.

Nie Lin arched his hand and said, "Uncle Su, the student asked Mr. Lu for leave when he went out!"

Su Bo said: "This morning, a woman with a black veil came to look for you, and when she heard that you were not there, she left, as if she was in a hurry, she just asked me to tell you to let you take the medicine 'Kawazoko'!"

After that, Su Bo glared at Nie Lin: "You little baby, you are young, you don't study hard, why do you mess around all day long, offend other people's little girls, and come to the door in person?"

Nie Lin was helpless, but he didn't want to explain, but he thought about it carefully, Gu Menghan personally came to instruct him, and let him eat Hezangzi, and he also understood the hint at the moment, it seems that what happened that night, they knew that it was him, and this was to remind him to destroy things.

At this time, Tu Chengzhong walked over and arched his hand: "Su Bo, the junior is here to do the registration of the Sword Boy Competition, there is another matter, I need to consult you, you let Brother Lin in first, let's talk!"

Su Bo looked at Tu Chengzhong: "Old man remembers, you seem to have been a student of this academy before, right?"

"Yes!" Tu replied.

"If you have anything to ask the old man, just ask it directly!" As he spoke, he turned his head and looked at Nie Lin sternly: "Go in, don't take it as an example, by the way, if you go to find that little girl, the old man won't open the door for you if it's too late!"

Nie Lin smiled bitterly, said goodbye to Tu Chengzhong, and after bowing to Su Bo separately, he entered the academy.

It's just that when I entered the door, I vaguely heard Tu Chengzhong say: "Su Bo, before the academy opens, there should be a record of people entering and leaving, this is a joint investigation order between the Sword Pavilion and the government, I was ordered to come here to investigate the list of people who left the academy before the academy opened!"

Su Bo did not cooperate, and said: "Before the start of school, so many people came in and out in advance, how could the old man record his age one by one!"

Tu Chengzhong said: "Then do you remember the entry and exit records of the personnel on the day when the Sword Pavilion escort was robbed?"

"There are all little dolls in the academy, the Sword Pavilion was robbed, what did you come to the academy to check, could it be that the bandits are still hiding in the academy?"

"People won't hide in the academy, but it is possible to hide the lost property of the Sword Pavilion in the academy, if Su Lao doesn't remember the entry and exit records of that day, then let the juniors enter the academy to find some sword attendants or related personnel who patrolled that day to ask about it!"

"You have a joint investigation order, and if you want to enter the academy to check on you, the old man will not embarrass you......"

Nie Lin didn't stop, his pace quickened a little, until the voice of the conversation became more and more indistinct......

......
