Chapter Ninety-Eight: Song Curtain

As soon as he said it, General Xie immediately left these soldiers who were still looking forward to it and rode towards the exile on a fast horse.

In fact, this is also a major feature of the north, because their frontier land has always been cold and unbearable, and those wind and frost swords can almost smooth people's bones, if there is any benefit, it is the sinners who have been exiled from far away by the imperial court.

There is nothing lacking these years, especially these people who have been exiled for anger. Come to think of it, even those in power in the capital know that the north is not all gentle townships. And among the many exiles who have been in exile every year, there are indeed many outstanding talents with real materials. It's just that most of these talents have been smoothed out by this long road of exile and bent over life.

General Xie is naturally sorry for such a situation, but what can he do? In the north, there are hundreds of people watching him, some of them are deliberately put on the surface, some of them are hidden, and even he can't tell whether the people around him are loyal or traitorous. General Xie is used to this, but since he is being watched, he has to put on a obedient posture. He can't approach those who have been exiled openly, for fear that His Majesty will think that he has the intention of rebellion, after all, he is not alone, there are still wives and children around him, and there are so many people in the Northern Desert Army, so he can't take it lightly.

It's just that this time he didn't want to be patient anymore, so he simply came to the house of Song Lian, a great Confucian who was supposed to be in Shilin, who was sent by His Majesty.

It is said that it is his home, but in fact it is just a simple thatched hut that has been fought. Speaking of which, this Song Curtain is also a legend. He came from a humble background, his biological father died early, and he followed his mother to remarry and make a drag oil bottle. However, fortunately, his later stepfather was very good to him, even if the family was not wealthy, it was still difficult for him to study for a few years, but what he didn't expect was that Song Curtain was a gifted person, and he relied on the books he read for a few years to read all the way smoothly, and he also worshipped a great Confucian as a master. Later, he also entered the court as an official, but his temperament was too lonely and straightforward, so that even if he had been an official for several years, he did not have many connections. Because of this, when he was relegated to the border after greatly offending His Majesty, no one pleaded for him. Such a long path of exile, thousands of miles away, he actually came over like this.

Sometimes, looking at Song Curtain's dry appearance, General Xie wondered how he had walked through this long road of exile. Maybe it's true, as some people say, the drier and thinner the person, the stronger the body?

It is true that there are so many people who have been exiled to the North, most of them have died of various diseases, and even those who managed to make it to their destination have lost because they can't adapt to the extremely cold weather here. Only this Song Curtain, even though he had several serious illnesses, still persevered tenaciously.

For example, now, looking at his firm eyes, General Xie wondered, why did this person persevere?

But none of this matters, since Ning Ning wants a master who can teach him to read and learn words, then the dry old man in front of him is the most suitable person. At least General Xie can protect his character, after all, after so many years here, this old gentleman's stinky temper still hasn't repented in the slightest.

Seeing General Xie, Song Curtain moved, staring at him expressionlessly, there was nothing in his eyes, the more he looked like this, the more terrible it looked, coupled with that dry and thin body, if it wasn't for something to ask for, General Xie really didn't want to come to see him alone.

"What are you going to do?"

Listening to these unkind words, and looking at this expressionless appearance, General Xie felt that no matter how naughty the child was, he would unconsciously restrain all his bad temper when facing this master, because he was too much in line with the image of the stern old master. Over the years, it is not that no one wants to ask this old gentleman to be the master of his own children, and without exception he has been viciously scolded away. Those who failed to do so always said that the old gentleman's brain was probably frozen on the way to exile, and now he couldn't even tell the difference between good and bad words.

Really, they came to ask this old gentleman to be their master, not to kill him, to see what miserable life he is, and they still refuse! And they refused so thoroughly that they were all shameless. Speaking of which, the people who can invite the husband in this north are all people with heads and faces in the family, and they don't want to suffer from this. Mr. Song didn't want to teach his children that they could find other exiled scholars, and he wasn't the only exiled prisoner to read and write.

Speaking of which, General Xie had invited Mr. Song for his child before, but he was ruthlessly refused. He didn't feel that he had been embarrassed, but he just thought that this Mr. Song's vision was so high? In this life, I don't know if I can find a disciple who suits my heart.

Of course, this time he came prepared, and he didn't believe that Mr. Song, an outstanding child like Ning Ning, could still refuse. If he really refuses, then there is really no one who can meet the standards of the old gentleman in this matter.

"Look at what you always said, can't I come to you if I'm fine?"

"Say it quickly."

Mr. Song is really not a person who likes to talk, and he can say such a thing to General Xie only because he sees that General Xie has not made any mistakes in guarding the border in the past 20 years, otherwise he would not have looked down on General Xie's talent.

In fact, this old gentleman was not such a character before, but he has become cynical because of the hard exile life over the years, but these General Xie can understand it. After all, if he changed from his previous position of being able to respond to everything in Shilin to now being a prisoner who could only exile the border, he would be unbalanced in his heart anyway.

So now the general is very generous and says that he doesn't care.

"Hey, Mr. Song, look at what you said, can't I come if I'm fine? Oops, hey, don't take a broom, I'll say it, I'll say it! ”

General Xie was very embarrassed to get himself out of the other party's attack, and then sighed deeply, but he still had to say what he meant.

"Mr. Song, you have been at this border for more than ten years, you have not recruited disciples for so many years, don't you want to have a closed disciple in this life?"

Mr. Song just tilted his head and glanced at him, and didn't say anything, just the two big words 'sending off' were written clearly in his eyes. (End of chapter)
