The old dynasty of Chunfeng Pavilion does not know how many industries like Lin Forty-seven Lane have in his hands, and he does not know how many heroes and dignitaries he has interacted with in the past, it seems that if such a person wants to leave Chang'an City, the object that needs to say goodbye should definitely not be the owner of these shops in Lin Forty-seventh Lane. However, before he left today, he deliberately came to Linxi Lane 47 to say goodbye to the owners of those shops, if in the eyes of those upper-class nobles in the empire, they would probably think that this was a middle-aged man who figured out the street and alley that caused the Chunfeng Pavilion incident, and made an obvious warning: Don't mess around after you leave.

But Ning Que knew that this was definitely not the real reason why he came to Linforty-seventh Lane - he wanted to say goodbye to himself, to the partner who had fought side by side and ate omelette noodles side by side in the spring rainy night, just because Ning Que wanted to hide his identity, and now he was a secret guard in the palace, so the man would say goodbye to all the shop owners patiently, so as not to let the well-intentioned people in Chang'an City notice his deposit.

As soon as he thought of this, even Ning Que, who thought he had an indifferent temperament, couldn't help but feel a warm and warm heart in his chest, looking at the people who were getting closer and closer and the smiling middle-aged man in green shirts among them, he didn't know how to deal with himself.

When he came to the door of Lao Bizhai, he looked at the young man and the little maid in the shop and smiled slightly, waved his hand and said, "Boss Ning, you are polite." ”

Ning Que looked at the door of the blocked shop, as well as the people who were gathered outside the crowd to watch the excitement, smiled slightly, and also pretended to return the salute like him, and said in a harmonious voice: "I've seen Second Brother Chao." ”

He heard the word second brother from Xu Chongshan's deputy commander's office, and thought that this title was close and respectful, and it was extremely decent, but it made Chao Xiaoshu slightly stunned, and then showed an irrepressible laugh, and the imposing men standing behind Chao Xiaoshu shook their heads again and again, looking at Ning Que's gaze, they couldn't help but have a little kind banter- The people in Chang'an City call Chao Xiaoshu the old dynasty of Chunfeng Pavilion, and the brothers in the Fish Dragon Gang call him the gang leader or eldest brother, and there are very few people who know the title of the second brother Chao, and Ning Que unconsciously revealed his stuffing.

"I'm about to leave Chang'an City, so I'm going to bring my brothers to meet with the bosses, and if Boss Ning has any inconvenience in the future, you can go to find them. Of course, I believe that as long as Boss Ning manages with his heart, he will definitely soar and rise to the top, and please don't forget to help my brothers when the time comes. ”

Chao Xiaoshu smiled at him and said, pointing with his right hand to the imposing men behind him, and said, "Qi Si, you have already met, they are Chang San, Liu Wu, Fei Liu and Chen Qi, they are all brothers I trust." ”

The so-called attentive management will go straight to the clouds, Chao Xiaoshu also said it in other stores, but when he said this to Ning Que, he naturally hid some other meanings, Ning Que understood, and the men at the door of Lao Bizhai also understood, Chang San, Liu Wu and the others glanced at each other, saw the surprise in each other's eyes, and then took a step forward and saluted Ning Que in silence.

They knew what happened on that spring rainy night, and they already had a very good impression of Ning Que, who they had never met, and at the same time, they also knew that Chao Xiaoshu had a very high opinion of this young man, but they didn't expect it to be so high, and even vaguely revealed a solemn entrustment.

Chang Siwei looked at Ning Que and said gently: "Boss Ning, if there is any disagreement in the future, it will inevitably come to disturb you." ”

Tong guò The conversation in the palace last night, now Ning Que already understands that these men in front of him are the secret guards of the Tang Emperor Xi à who sprinkled the people back then, and now that he knows his identity, he may re-enter the palace in a few days, he naturally will not slack off, but listening to these words, he always feels that something is wrong.

Chang Sanleng, Qi Siruthless, Liu Wuheng, Fei Liu, Chen Qiyin, this is the evaluation of several generals of the Fish and Dragon Gang in Chang'an City, but looking at Chang Siwei's gentle expression at this time, Ning Que couldn't associate him with the cold character, let alone that this man had already moved his intention to entangle himself in his heart.

Since it was to hide people's eyes, Chao Xiaoshu and the others naturally couldn't stay in the old pen for too long, which seemed special, but they just chatted a few words casually, and then smiled at Xiaoshu and looked at Ning Que and said two words.

"Gone. ”

It was another gentle spring rain, thin and gentle, many pedestrians didn't even bother to wear a hat, Ning Que stood silently at the mouth of the forty-seventh lane, looking at the figures in the distance who were gradually moving away, looking at the back of the middle-aged man in the green shirt who was still chic and casual, and suddenly felt a little regret in his heart.

"Brother, of course, this kind of thing needs to be proved by time, you said that I would promise you to be a brother, so wouldn't I seem too faceless? I thought that in a few years, if it was good, it would be okay to be a brother with you, but you just patted your ass and left, and as a result, I was still very faceless. ”

Ning Que shook his head, sighed, turned around and took Sang Sang's little hand and walked towards the alley, a few peach blossoms stretched out above the alley wall next to him, I don't know when they were cut off by the spring rain, and the scattered branches fell on the bluestone slab.

The bluestone slab at the city gate is also scattered with stamens, next to a certain wine shop, towards Xiaoshu and your brothers who have lived and died together for many years, drink wine with peach blossoms in Chang'an City, drink a few glasses and then say goodbye.

......

......

Spring rain one by one, people who have just met or just reunited are separated or died, the boy from Weicheng and his little maid unknowingly spent their first month in the imperial capital, and then finally ushered in the most important day of their lives, if you don't count all those events between life and death.

Today's opening of the academy, yes, is indeed the opening of the school, because the first day of the academy at the same time to enter the academy examination, can pass the guò entrance examination, will become a glorious student of Chang'an Academy, and the candidates who failed to pass the guò entrance examination, they have seen the solemn opening ceremony, have seen the true appearance of the academy, presumably this memory will become an unforgettable period in the future life, some comfort.

At five o'clock in the morning, Ning Que and Sang Sang got up and began to freshen up and have breakfast. The opening of the academy is a big event for the entire Tang Empire, and even for the whole world, as for the people of Chang'an City, they have been looking forward to it for many days, and all kinds of vendors have started business in advance, so the master and servant are lucky to eat hot and sour noodle soup.

Ning Que kept yawning, rubbing her eyes a little astringent, obviously she didn't sleep well last night, and Sang Sang was even more nervous than her young master with two dark circles under her eyes that were darker than her complexion.

The Ministry of Rites has a carriage for picking up and dropping off candidates, but because Ning Que wants to wear Sangsang to go with him, he chooses to rent a carriage to go alone, and the carriage of the car dealer knows the identity of this patron, and he does not dare to slack off, and he has been on call at the entrance of the alley in the middle of the night, so the two of them left the old pen and immediately set off to the south.

It was the darkness of dawn, and the spacious Suzaku Street was a little gloomy, jammed by hundreds of carriages, and there was a light rain in the sky, and there were countless wheels moving on the wet bluestone slabs, and how many horses' hooves were kicking the rain in annoyance.

The carriage of the Ministry of Rites to pick up and drop off the candidates was released first, and the carriage of the candidates holding the admission test voucher was also under the command of the city gate army, squeezing out a bloody road with difficulty, and lined up in a long line along the drum tower in the direction of the Suzaku Gate, today's Chang'an City Academy preparation candidates are the most important people, those who participated in the opening ceremony of the various ministries and officials and even the carriages of the royal family and nobles were squeezed to the side, as for the rich businessmen and scholars who bought admission tickets and were ready to see the excitement, they were unceremoniously driven to the rear.

It may seem unthinkable that the candidates were more important than the officials, more important than the wealthy merchants who could bring taxes to the empire, but it was true, and looking at the quiet and luxurious carriages and the usual retinue of the guards, one can imagine that the academy had been like this for countless years.

Ning Que and Sang Sang sat in the carriage, lifting the corner of the curtain from time to time to look at the surrounding movements, a little nervous and anxious mood gradually calmed down, when the carriage finally drove out of the south gate of Chang'an City, along the spacious official road towards the high mountains in the clouds in the south, he even had the mood to enjoy the scenery.

The spring rain is still dripping, but the high mountain that rises abruptly from the Hewei Plain is not affected in the slightest, because the mountain peak is clear before, and the mountain peak is above the rain clouds, and the light projected by the rising morning sun is reflected by the mountain cliff, sprinkling pieces of light to the world, and it feels very warm.

Looking at the mountain peaks under the rising sun in front of him in the drizzle of the car, Ning Que's mood suddenly became extremely calm, I don't know why, he felt that there was something very attractive to him, and there was a certain taste that he liked very much.

To the south of Chang'an, under the mountain, is the academy.

It is the academy that has gone through thousands of years of ups and downs, has never had a name, has a longer history than the Tang Empire, and has cultivated countless former sages and famous ministers for the Tang Dynasty and all the lands of the world, which is not mysterious but almost a god.

It is also the place where Ning Que has worked so hard and must walk in.

......

......

The nameless mountains rise abruptly between the plains and rivers and reach the sky.

The academy is nameless, silently appearing in the red dust and turbidity world, standing for eternity.

Dozens of carriages drove to the foot of the mountain in turn, and the chatter and laughter in those carriages came to an abrupt end, and the students who came to refer to it did not feel any momentum oppression, but had to be silent because of the respect in their hearts.

Under the clear light of the morning sun, at the foot of the mountain is a very large area, composed of green meadows and hills, undulating and solidified waves, the grass is picturesque, there are more than a dozen complex lanes between the paintings, there are a few flowers and trees planted at intervals next to the road, and the center of the meadow is a group of flowers and trees, white and white I don't know whether it is the color of apricot blossoms or peach blossoms, and it is irregularly but extremely beautifully smeared on the slopes, which is extremely beautiful.

Next to the car window, Ning Que and Sang Sang looked at this fairyland on earth, looking at the black and white two-color academy building above the grass slope that was not tall but stretched for many hours, they couldn't help but be a little distracted, and after a long silence, he looked back at Sang Sang and said seriously: "I must be admitted to the academy!"

Sang Sang looked at him worriedly with a small face, and said, "Young Master, a few sets of real questions for the admission test...... Are you done?"

Ning Que was silent for a long time, and after a long time, he held back a sentence and said angrily: "Auspicious words! You kid don't know what auspicious words are!"
