Chapter 156: The Boys of That Year
The 134th year of the Tiansheng calendar is destined to be the most thrilling year in human history, but after a long period of research and research by many historians in later generations, it is found that in fact, the turning point of history should be earlier.
To be exact, it should have been in the late summer and early autumn a year ago.
That was the 133rd year of the Heavenly Sacred Calendar.
A lot of things happened in that year, and the center of many things only revolved around the same person, his name was Su Wen, and at that time, he was just a 15-year-old boy.
In the spring of that year, the 15-year-old boy stepped into the whirlpool of history by winning the position of scholar in the temple.
In the summer of that year, the young man who had just won the literary degree appeared on the list of "Wen Yi Dao" for the third time, and entered Hongming Academy with the first place in the state examination.
In the late summer and early autumn of that year, Hongming Academy, as in previous years, let those students who had just become tribute students enter the Lost Swamp Trial, and among them, naturally there was also the name of that young man.
These are the most authentic historical materials that historians have ever seen, but there are many things that cannot be verified.
For example, in the same year, another teenager named Xu Ke refused his father's request to return to the national capital, and resolutely took a group of his cronies all the way south to the Lost Swamp.
"A month! I gave you a whole month! As a result, you sued me and found nothing?" Xu Ke roared, slamming the white jade paperweight in his hand at the feet of the white-clothed young man.
The young man in white stood lightly under Xu Ke, and did not fall to his knees tremblingly like others. He just lowered his head slightly, looking at the pair of embroidered cloud boots on his feet.
"Yes, I can't find anything. So the subordinates have two guesses. The voice of the young man in white was a little hoarse, it was Xu Xianglin, who had chased and killed Su Wen that day.
Xu Ke looked at his guard commander and felt extremely annoyed, he didn't know why his father sent such a guy to follow him.
"Say!"
"First, Xu Yu took your people and ran away. ”
"This can't be!" Xu Ke directly vetoed Xu Xianglin's first guess.
In this regard, Xu Xianglin didn't blink his eyes. It seems that he had expected Xiao Houye's judgment.
Then, there is only the second possibility left, to take it away. Or the person who killed Xu Yu is definitely not a person, in other words, this person's rank must be far above me!"
Xu Ke heard this. The eyes sparkled. Said coldly: "Then what is your opinion." ”
Xu Xianglin bowed slightly, and said solemnly: "According to what his subordinates have seen, he can't check anymore!"
Silence, after a long silence, the anger on Xu Ke's face finally gradually dissipated, and then he glanced at Xu Xianglin deeply and said, "Okay, you can step down." ”
Xu Xianglin saluted again. He slowly withdrew from the grand tent and stood outside the curtain. He seemed a little lonely.
A moment later, the sound of a broken cup came from inside the tent again, and Xu Xianglin didn't say a word outside the tent, deaf to him.
Immediately, he received an order from the little marquis and went south!
Of course, this incident is only the most inconspicuous of the thousands of things that happened in the late summer and early autumn of the 133rd year of the Heavenly Sacred Calendar.
At that time, in the Yicheng City of the Patriotic Capital, the two orders issued one after another were more meaningful than the little marquis going south.
Of course, these two also have one thing in common, whether it is the little marquis Xu Ke or those two orders, they are all from the Horse Mansion.
Under these two orders, countless people rushed towards Huizhou like moths to fire.
There was suddenly a rice grain shop in Linchuan City, and there were many strangers with thick accents, and their task was to find a young man named Fang Xiaole.
In addition, on Huangli Street in Huizhou Mansion, there was suddenly a calligraphy and painting shop, next to Lin Huaju, and Yan Wuye, who was the master of Huangli Street, suddenly disappeared at the same time and was never seen again.
Of course, compared with the famous Yan Wuye, the disappearance of Huang Zheng and Huang Xiao'e, the brother and sister, did not make any waves in Huizhou Mansion at all, and no one even knew when they left and where they went.
Dozens of days later, news from all sides spread back to Yicheng like snowflakes, but the Horse Mansion never took action, because another unexpected situation made this qiē no longer important.
Because I don't know when, an old man suddenly left the Xu family's mansion and headed towards Hongming Academy.
No one knew what the purpose of his trip was, and no one knew why the old man suddenly interrupted his retreat, could it be that what he did on this trip was even more important than when Xu Ling was demoted to Sichuan City?
There are no impermeable walls, so those who are qualified to know about it have already gotten the news.
In a secluded valley in the east of the country, a woman with a captivating face is waiting for her apprentice to make a final decision.
"If you want to go to the trial, I won't stop you, in fact, adding some actual combat experience is very important for you now, but whether to go to the Lost Swamp or to Hongming Academy, you have only one choice. ”
Ning Qingbing looked at Liu Shishi, her face looked a little anxious, and she said, "Teacher, won't you go with me?"
Liu Shishi smiled indifferently: "If I follow you, it won't be called a trial." ”
"But......" Ning Qingbing hesitated and said, "But you just said that the Xu family may ......"
"I said, it's just possible. Liu Shishi looked at the blue sky in the south of the valley, shook his head, and said: "Even a saint can't see the fog from the future, let alone me......?"
Ning Qingbing bit her lip and finally made a decision that she didn't know if she would regret it in the future.
No one knows what she gave up and what she gained at this moment.
"I choose Hongming Academy!"
The smile on Liu Shishi's face softened a little, but he sighed lightly in his heart: "This time." I left my fate to her to choose, so, Lao Bai. Don't blame me ......"
In the 133rd year of the Tiansheng calendar, many people came to Huizhou Mansion because of some other people or things, some people have come, some people are ready to come, and some people. On the way to come.
On the official road leading from Liangzhou Mansion to Huizhou Mansion, a young man about 20 years old dressed in a white robe was speeding through the road. He held an ordinary-looking feather fan in his hand, but the waist that was supposed to be hanging a small gourd looked empty.
"What kind of demon clan changes, what border is urgent, what is my business? It almost made my first investment in my life go down the drain. These old guys. It's really difficult. ”
As the young man spoke, he raised his hand and gently wiped it on his face, and suddenly his face changed dramatically, completely changing his appearance.
This new look looks like it is older than ten or twenty years old, but it must be more familiar to many people.
For example, the owner of a restaurant will recognize that this person is the master chef in his own building, and for example, a regular customer of a gambling house will find that this person is a gambler who has won consecutive battles in the restaurant. For example, an old hunter will be shocked to realize that this is not the guy who hunted monsters in the barren mountains with him in the first place?
The boy in white used to have many identities. He has also left his footprints in many places in the ten countries of the human race, or a down-and-out calligrapher, or an old man in the bookkeeper, or a vendor selling snacks, or a boxer boxing in an underground boxing ring, or a small actor in a certain theater troupe.
Of course, if Su Wen was here at this moment, he would definitely be able to recognize this white-clothed stall owner who deliberately let him pick up a good leak in the black market.
But I don't know, why did he go to Liangzhou Mansion later, and why did he rush back at this moment?
Suddenly, a black jade ring in the white-robed young man's hand began to flicker rapidly, and a small bird carved out of wood came out of his arms and landed on the ground.
So the white-robed young man stopped, but there was still some distance from Huizhou, let alone the lost swamp in the south of Huizhou.
But he still honestly stayed in place for a whole stick of incense, until he was sure that the other party had not discovered his deposit, then he put away the wooden bird on the ground and left in a hurry.
Not long after the white-robed young man's figure disappeared, where he was standing just now, a deep and dark hole suddenly appeared, and a figure came out of it.
This person's face is quite peculiar to the aesthetics of ordinary people, this young man's forehead is particularly wide, and the two protruding flesh bones on it squeeze his facial features together, coupled with the incomparably thin lips, there is quite a similarity to the Lei Gong that Su Wen saw in his previous life.
Of course, this is the fishing song that finally got the answer from Narushi after a month of hard work, and at this time, it was also a month late from the return date he had planned.
Luckily, he had already learned the crucial answer from Narutoshi's mouth, and he had received some news that he had not known.
So his next destination is still not the Desert River, nor the Huizhou Mansion, but the distant Liangzhou.
It's just that before leaving, he still couldn't help but look at the swamp in the south of Huizhou, and whispered: "Don't die." ”
After speaking, Yu Ge's figure flashed sharply, and in the blink of an eye, he disappeared into the field, and the black hole at his feet also recovered as before, as if it had never existed.
At this time, Su Wen and his party had just come to the periphery of the Lost Swamp, and he didn't know that thousands of miles away, there was an old friend who didn't know whether to bless or curse him, he only knew that he was about to be hurt by the names in Mu Xi's mouth.
"Zisang of Tianlan Academy, Midsummer of Wushuang Academy, and Ouyang Ke of the Sage Family, these three people will be your potential biggest opponents on this trip, so it is important to understand the enemy's information in detail, let me start with Zisang of Tianlan Academy......"
"I think you also know that the Tianlan Empire is the most powerful of the ten kingdoms of our human race, not only because the poet Saint Liu Zhongyong came from the Tianlan Kingdom, but also because in the past few decades, the Tianlan Kingdom has produced many extremely dazzling geniuses, such as the current Tianlan Kingdom bachelor Liu Lingfeng, and then the Tianlan Kingdom Semi-Saint Xie Yi, of course, there is also this Zisang ......"
Su Wen took a deep breath, finally interrupted Mu Xi's chatter for more than an hour, and said, "What, I suddenly remembered, didn't you ask me to investigate the battle of Tianqi Mountain?"
Sure enough, when Mu Xi heard this, his expression suddenly turned solemn, and he said coldly: "Didn't you say that you didn't find anything?"
"Actually, not really, I just suddenly had a flash of inspiration and thought of a detail, you let me think about it carefully. ”
Su Wen nodded solemnly, and then was very relieved to find that Mu Xi had really stopped, so he was immediately greatly relieved.
Turning his head, Su Wen looked at the dead fat man sitting on the huge earthly beast on the side, tearing the roast chicken in his hand regardless of the image, and suddenly showed envy on his face.
People are more angry than people...... (To be continued......)
