Chapter 10: Human Affairs

Dading two years.

Since Emperor Zhuang ascended to Dongzhen, Zhuang Guo has been very different.

The country is safe and secure in the territory. Dredging the waterways and getting the full support of the Qingjiang Water Government. Overhaul the official road to completely connect the major cities. Those left-handed evil cultivators who wandered all over the country rarely chose Zhuang Guo as a foothold.

And outside the country, the ten cities of the strange country were forcibly cut, and almost another county was opened for the Zhuang country.

But Emperor Zhuang did not set up a fourth county.

It is said that some courtiers asked for this, but Zhuang Gaoxian asked rhetorically: "Can a land of ten cities be a county?"

The ambition is clear.

Mo Guo panicked and sent a large amount of resources to bribe Qin Guo. After getting the support of Qiang Qin, the border was calm.

More and more people in Zhuangguo gradually realized that the era of Zhuangguo, which was weak in the past, seemed to be a time when all parties could come and step on it!

Today's Zhuang country, it is not an exaggeration to say that the whole country is thriving.

The three counties of Zhuangguo, Hualin County is where the capital is located, and Daishan County takes advantage of the situation to include the newly acquired ten cities, and it has become the largest county of Zhuangguo.

Only Qinghe County still doesn't seem to have changed.

The most mysterious and desirable place in the entire Qinghe County should be the Qingjiang Water Mansion.

In Zhuangguo, the Terran Water Tribes have sworn for hundreds of years and get along well. Of course, there are some minor frictions, but they don't affect the big picture. In other words, the overall situation is firmly controlled by people in high positions.

The legendary Qingjiang Water Mansion, with white jade as the step, gold as the brick, embellished with pearls, is full of treasures, which naturally attracts the yearning of ordinary people.

But if you want to say that what really makes people break their heads and squeeze in, and become the dream place of many people's lives, it has to be the Qinghe County Daoyuan.

Because this place represents the level of cultivation, the status, and the future.

However, the number of places recruited by the county academy every year is extremely limited, and how many monks are there in the thirteen cities of Qinghe County, who does not squeeze their heads to work hard in the county academy?

Because Fenglin City has been lost, there are now only twelve cities left in Qinghe County, but the standard of the county road court has not been reduced, but the number of places has been reduced accordingly.

Strictly so, so it's not uncommon for those frustrated to wander outside the county road.

In the opinion of Liu Yao, a second-year student in the county court, the young man standing in front of the archway at this moment and looking into the county yard should be one of them.

But he's a little different.

Liu Yao admitted that his facial features were quite outstanding, but it wasn't that face that attracted her attention. It's those eyes, gentle and indifferent, and distant and mysterious. When he looked at the county courtyard, there was still a shallow emotional halo.

Liu Yao couldn't tell whether that emotion was regret or melancholy.

But makes him very charming.

This person had appeared outside the county yard on the third day, and it was also in the afternoon, standing in the same position, looking out into the county yard in the same way.

What is he looking at?

Liu Yao didn't know.

But she suddenly wanted to come up and ask.

It shouldn't. For Liu Yao, this is very unacceptable.

Last year, she was stuck in the last few places and squeezed into the county road. The county road institute weeds out a group of people every year, and she worked very hard to keep her current position and not become one of the eliminated people.

When she was in the City Dao Academy, she was also among the best and quite good. But in the county road courtyard, the geniuses of the major cities are competing together, and in a trance, she is already out of the crowd.

So she never wastes her time. She was so stingy that she had detailed rules on which road to take every day and how much time to spend on the road.

However, because of a stranger, she stopped walking for three days in a row.

Seekers are to be true to their hearts. The dean seems to have said this at some point.

When Liu Yao remembered this, she breathed a sigh of relief. Found a reason for yourself.

So she changed direction and walked out, walking in front of the young man who was quietly watching.

"Hello. Liu Yao greeted.

The young man withdrew his gaze and looked at her, not speaking, but only inquiring with his gaze.

Liu Yao, as an official student of the County Dao Academy, is used to flattery. At first, she was worried that this young man was no different from those vulgar people, and she was kind to her. But now this young man's attitude is too indifferent, and she can't help but feel a little lost.

She had never had such an experience of gain and loss.

"Uh......"

Liu Yao opened her mouth, wanting to ask something, but paused for a moment. The words came to my mouth, and I forgot what to ask.

She realized that there wasn't really anything wrong with her. She was just looking for a topic.

"What's the matter?" the young man asked.

As if the seal had completed the last gesture, the Dao technique flowed naturally.

Liu Yao's thinking became clear.

"It doesn't make sense for you to stand here and look at it every day," she said. There will be no sympathy, there will be no favor. The Gundoin will not admit disciples for any reason other than strength. ”

"I'm from here. She persuaded: "A momentary defeat is nothing, the county road academy has a quota every year, you should seize the time to cultivate well, and you can make an inch, and you are sure of an inch." ”

She hesitated for a moment, but still said: "I am a second-year student in the county court. If you have any questions about your practice, you can ask me. ”

The intention of this sentence was too obvious, and it almost made her face red, and she forcibly used Dogen to control it, so that her violently beating heart calmed down.

The young man listened to her quietly, and then replied, "It's okay. ”

His voice was gentle, with a slow-moving indifference and gentleness.

"I'm just looking. He said.

There was no resentment because of her presumptuousness, nor did she appear close because of her kindness.

How it was before, how it is now.

He doesn't seem to change because of anyone or anything.

"Oh. Liu Yao was stunned for a moment: "Oh, okay." ”

But what exactly is good, she doesn't know.

The young man seemed intent on looking, but she was still standing. So he paused and looked at her again.

That look was about - are you okay?

Liu Yao woke up as if from a big dream, and reacted suddenly.

"Ah, me, I'll go first. ”

"Goodbye. The young man nodded politely.

Liu Yao walked towards the Taoist courtyard in a panic, but after taking two steps, he gritted his teeth and turned back: "By the way, I don't know yet, what's your name?"

In order to show her sincerity, she first introduced herself: "My name is Liu Yao." Mu Tao Qiong Yao's Yao. ”

At that time, the young man's eyes had been turned away.

Looking at him from this point of view in the sunset, there is a detached temperament that is difficult to describe.

At this moment, Liu Yao felt in a trance that he had nothing to do with the whole world.

Such a person shouldn't care too much about the gains and losses of the county academy. So, what exactly is he looking at?

Time seems to be very slow, and the thoughts in Liu Yao's heart come and go, and they are born and die quickly. For a few moments, she thought she shouldn't get an answer.

But at last the short but extraordinarily long silence was over.

She waited for the young man's answer.

"Nian Xiang. He said.
