The atmosphere in the room was extremely solemn, and only the sound of people's muffled breathing could be heard.

The four of them glanced at each other, but none of them stood up, in their opinion, the scout retreated, it was the biggest insult to this profession, the family could collect their corpses, but they could not bear the infamy, this was the glory of the scout, and it was their only pride.

Zhang Xiu nodded: "Okay, you all know how to contact me, I am waiting for your good news." ”

As he spoke, he lined up the five bowls one by one, opened a jar of wine, poured a bowl of wine for everyone himself, picked up the bowl, and drank it all.

The four of them went out and scattered in different directions, while Zhang Xiu turned around and went to the backyard, where nine people were waiting for him in the backyard.

"Adult ......"

Zhang Xiu glanced at a few people: "Everything is already ready?" ”

"It's ready, the items needed by the Nangong family have also been purchased, and the people have already disposed of them, and the information they know is already familiar to their hearts, so don't worry." A man stepped forward and muttered to Zhang Xiu.

This person is nicknamed the executioner Feng Yun, the ancestor is the executioner, and he can be regarded as half an official, and this Feng Yun has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, he is tall and burly, and he uses a steel knife in one hand to be superb, and he has the true inheritance of his ancestors.

They had arrived three days ago, robbed a delivery shopkeeper, claiming to be with the Nangong family, Feng Yun was going to use the money to buy the goods, but the shopkeeper held that this was the goods of the Nangong family, not selling, which annoyed Feng Yun, three times five divided by two, even scaring and scareting, the shopkeeper was all recruited, it turned out that this group of people was also robbing the road halfway, and went to Nangong's house to collect the payment, although it was not much, only one hundred taels, but for the scouts who only had four taels of silver every month, it was a huge amount of money. It can be regarded as a bandit, and they disguise themselves as delivery people to enter the city, which can be regarded as a matter of course.

According to this thief, no one dares to check the goods of the Nangong family in and out of Jinling, and it is convenient for them to hide their weapons.

"Okay, let's go." Zhang Xiu waved his hand, and ten people pushed five carriages towards Jinling.

In Jinling City, it is still the scene of the past, the eighteen music squares are still bright, laughter is good, Lu Qinghou since he came to Jinling, this is the third time to go to Tai'an Academy, he is certainly a Guiguzi faction, but for the current Confucian masters, I still want to visit, after all, the Yongle Dynasty also needs public opinion, and also needs the world's talents to be attached, so it is the easiest way to let the Dean Guan of Tai'an Academy speak, so he wants to take a look and argue.

If he succeeds, the Jiangnan scholars will return to the heart of the world, and the entire Jiangnan literary world will become the sharpest knife in his hand, digging out the foundation of the Great Xia Dynasty one by one.

If it fails, it is also the Yongle Dynasty that is thirsty for talent, high-ranking officials, he absolutely does not believe it, this world is full of upright and arrogant people, today's officials of the Great Xia Dynasty, which one is not from the imperial examination, and which one dares to say that it is clean now?

"If there were two sleeves of breeze in this world, Lao Tzu would not almost starve to death back then." Lu Qinghou thought about it, and suddenly had another idea in his heart, which could not be more appropriate to describe it as a flash of inspiration.

"In Xia Lu Qinghou, I ask to see Dean Guan." Lu Qinghou walked into the academy and said to a teacher in the academy.

"Sir, wait a minute, I'll report it later."

Since the Manichaeans took Jinling, there are only three places that have not been looted, the first is the Nangong family, the second is the Qinhuai River, and the third is the Tai'an Academy.

No matter how the times change, you always have to read, no matter who is the emperor, you need to be assisted by a scholar, this is the eternal truth for thousands of years, and no one has ever wanted to change in the past, so Tai'an Academy has strictly forbidden students to go down the mountain since that day to save their lives.

Lu Qinghou has come for the third time, and after looking at the thatched house three times, Dean Guan will not come out again, I am afraid that it is a bit excessive, even if he is an ordinary scholar, Dean Guan should also see it.

Lu Qinghou thought so, and Guan Xiaoyun also thought so, so Guan Xiaoyun came out and stood in the courtyard of the academy.

The disciples of the academy stood in the middle of the courtyard on the third floor and the outer three floors, and Lu Qinghou slowly walked in front of Guan Xiaoyun: "Dean Guan, in Xia Lu Qinghou, dare to ask Dean Guan to come out of the mountain, assist the Holy Father, and achieve eternal happiness." ”

Guan Xiaoyun touched his gray beard, he is already fifty-six this year, and he has been in the position of dean for ten years.

"I saw Mr. Lu today, because Mr. Lu visited the academy three times, which shows its strength, so when I saw him, sir, please go back, don't mention the matter of going out of the mountain again." Guan Xiaoyun raised his hand, and everyone made way out of the mountain gate.

"As long as the gentleman goes out of the mountain, the official residence is a good product, worships the national teacher, and the disciples can all serve in the court." Lu Qinghou said again.

"Tai'an Academy was established by the ancestor emperor himself, and it has a history of 100 years. Guan Xiaoyun said righteously: "The Tao is different, not conspiring with each other, Mr. Lu is now a tiger returning to the mountain and the dragon has entered the sea, unstoppable, why come here?" ”

"I want to ask for a ......," Lu Qinghou smiled slightly.

Guan Xiaoyun was silent for a moment before he spoke: "I can't talk about asking for advice, if it's academic, you can learn a thing or two, and if you talk about government affairs, please be smart." ”

"Okay, let's talk about academics today." Lu Qinghou smiled and said: "The ancients had clouds, good birds chose trees to perch, and good ministers chose the lord to do things. Fengqi Wutong, the gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall. Now this Jinling City is the world of eternal happiness, the Holy Father came out from the southwest, and everywhere he went, he rose up, what is it? The soldier who surrenders without a fight is for the great sage, and Mr. does not choose a good master, can he be a true phoenix? ”

Guan Xiaoyun said: "The Great Xia Dynasty has been established for a hundred years, the world is peaceful, the people have farming, the scholars have Enke, open the Qianmo, run a business, and the market is not closed at night, why is it under the dangerous wall?" What is Yongle? Everywhere he went, he rose up, millions of arrows flowed, and he starved for thousands of miles, is it for the good master? In my Guan Mou's opinion, this is not the case, he is a scholar in the countryside, and he does not talk about the affairs of the country and the world. ”

Lu Qinghou frowned: "Living in the temple should be Sijun, and in the rivers and lakes, he is worried about his people, is it for the eldest husband, is it for the scholar, is Dean Guan like this, please look at himself like this?" Hidden in the front, the ambition of the bird can be seen, Kunpeng flutters its wings, and Anzhi can't shake the nine skies? ”

"Han Fei" has a saying, those who know others are wise, and those who know themselves are also clear. The ambition of the bird can be seen, since it will not hide in the front, soar up to 90,000 miles, and will not fall into the land of Kyushu. Today, what should be guarded against is the Northwest Land, don't you know it? Guan Xiaoyun said.

Lu Qinghou's face changed, and he was natural about the northwest war situation, and immediately said: "Mr. goes out of the mountain, Pingsanshan, stepping on Wuyue, and Kyushu in the world are volumes, and let Mr. write." ”

Guan Xiaoyun shook his head: "Zi said, the king envoy is courteous, the minister is loyal, although I Guan someone has read a few years of books, but I also know the grace of knowing the encounter, when the spring reciprocates the truth, in the past ten years, Tai'an is not talented, thirty-six Jinshi, three people in the list, six people in Tanhua, and two people are the champions of the polar region, I am their teacher, and I can die at the end of the day, but Mr. here, in Guan Mou's view, is not the avenue." ”

"You, someone, surrounded me...... I want to see how long you can carry if you don't eat or drink......" Lu Qinghou waved his hand, and there were more dense soldiers on the surrounding walls.
