Empire's Early Morning 61: Kneel
"Meet the teacher!"
A respectful voice sounded, and Elder Qi bowed to this ordinary old man as a disciple, and bowed seriously, without doing anything perfunctory.
"Hey!"
The old man let out a long sigh, looking at the devastated Qixia School Palace, not knowing whether the choice he made back then was right or wrong.
The old man's broom slowly squirmed, controlling the formation of the Qi Xia Xue Palace, slowly repairing the gaps in the spiritual power of the Xue Palace, and his proficiency was just like cleaning the streets of the Xue Palace in normal times.
Under the control of the old man, the hussar general's body also floated up, floating in midair, and the surrounding spiritual power gathered in front of the hussar general, emitting bursts of light.
Qi Lao looked at this scene incredulously, the old man's control of the formation method has surpassed his own a lot, and even reached a peak point, if he can reach the level of half of the old man's formation master in this life, he will have no regrets in this life!
"Thanks to the teacher's hand just now, Confucianism was spared. ”
Qi Lao continued to salute this Confucian elder, he had been in charge of Qi Xia Xue Palace for a long time, he naturally knew the existence of this person, although he was not his real disciple, but in Confucianism, there was a precedence in hearing the Tao, and there was a specialization in the arts, and the old man's cultivation level was far above himself.
It can even be said that it is the only remaining great array master in the mainland, and it is not too much for him to perform the disciple salute in front of him.
"You've done a great job over the years!"
The old man said to Qi Lao, all these years, Qi Xia Xuegong has been far away from Qi and has taken root in Xianyang, and the credit behind it is half of that of Qi Lao.
"Praise from the teacher!"
Qi Lao lowered his head in panic and stood in front of the old man, Qi Lao's height was far above the old man, in order to prevent the old man from looking up at himself, Qi Lao did not dare to stand with his whole body.
This appearance is like making a mistake in studying when I was young, and I was standing in front of my mentor with anxiety.
The old man looked at the wounds of Qixia Academy, and said earnestly: "Hey, you may not know it, maybe all this is in his calculations. ”
Hearing the old man's words, Qi Lao suddenly stopped talking, he knew who "he" was in the old man's mouth, with "his" calculations, it was not impossible for Confucianism to enter the school palace!
However, "he" is not a figure that Qi Lao can discuss, even if he is the most noble formation master in the mainland, and has been an official in the court for many years, he is still not enough to point fingers at the "him" in the old man's mouth, he is not qualified enough, and even there are not many people in the entire Qin State who can insult "him", but the old man around him has enough qualifications and status.
"A real chess player has no feelings, because once he has feelings, he is not qualified to treat others as chess pieces, because he is too easy to enter the game, he uses the Confucian inheritance as a chessboard this time, forcing me to enter the game, hahaha, it's not my disciple!"
The old man looked in the direction of Xianyang Afang Palace and laughed, but his voice was full of sadness.
Qi Lao continued to be silent, because he didn't know what he should say, according to what the old man said, the one in the Afang Palace regarded the Qixia School Palace as a battlefield to encircle and suppress the remnants of the Six Kingdoms, and forced the old man to take action with the lives of many Confucian students.
"I am the last generation of Confucianism in the old era, and I am also the last sacrificial wine in Qixia School Palace, he knows that if it is related to the inheritance of Confucianism, I will definitely take action, so I will have no fear!"
The old man's voice continued.
The Qixia School Palace was controlled by Confucianism, and reached its peak during the Seven Kingdoms War, because there was no absolute leader among the Hundred Schools of Thought.
But in Confucianism, as long as he serves as the priest of Qixia School Palace, he is the most virtuous and respected Confucianism in Confucianism, which is recognized even by the hundred schools of thought, and the old man in front of Qi Lao is the last sacrificial wine of Qixia School Palace.
Sacrificial wine: the administrative tutor of the Qixia Academy, the teacher of all the students of the Qixia Academy, and the most noble person in Confucianism.
Qi Lao looked at the gray-haired old man, for some unknown reasons, Qi Lao didn't want the old man to make a move, even if he fell, he didn't want the old man to make a move.
Maybe in the eyes of those strong men in the military department, the entire Qixia School Palace is not as heavy as this old man, otherwise how could they choose to build the Qixia School Palace into a place for retirement?
Qi Lao understands the thoughts of those people in the military department best, but out of Confucianism's own thinking, Qi Lao doesn't want this old man with half a foot in the coffin to experience wind and rain again, not only because he is a great array master, but more importantly, the old man is the highest existing Confucian Confucian.
If it wasn't for the secret nodding back then, how could the Qixia School Palace move to the Qin State so easily, the place where the old man is located is the Qixia School Palace, even if there are only a few bricks and tiles, but it will still be a holy place in the hearts of scholars.
"That's it, I'm tired too!"
The old man picked up the broom again and turned to leave, Qi Lao still wanted to go up to help, but the old man directly refused.
Qi Xia watched him walk slowly, and sighed in his heart, these old men are real scholars, dedicated to learning, and have never participated in the War of the Seven Kingdoms.
But Qi Lao, who is also a formation master, how can he not see that it is naturally not a problem for the old man to be young and at his peak, but at this age, the damage to the old man in this battle may be fatal
............
In the Xianyang Afang Palace, the man in black was still staring at the chessboard, although the chess pieces on his side had won, and the objects of the Chu State had also been thrown in the corner of the room by himself, but the man in black still did not end the chess game.
In the layout of the Qixia School Palace, how can you just kill one above the ground, although it is indeed difficult to kill the one above the ground, but the man in black knows the strength of the old man, as long as the old man chooses to make a move, all problems will naturally be solved, his real layout has just begun, since the remnants of the Six Kingdoms have chosen to enter the game, don't regret it.
"The battle has just begun!"
.........
The fallen leaves on the Qixia School Palace were swept up by the strong wind, and immediately fell quickly, and hundreds of cavalry were killed in the sunset, and the knights and horses were wrapped in extremely thick heavy armor, and they rushed so wildly, the hoofs trembled like thunder on the earth, and the distant sky also roared.
The support of the military department finally arrived, and this trump card army that belonged to the trump card finally arrived, and it was the royal army of King Qin--- Jinwei.
There are only 100 people in this army, but they are all proficient in horse warfare, swordsmanship, and foot combat, and they can be said to be extraordinary, and they are all handy with thousands of weapons.
Legend has it that this army of King Qin, everyone has the courage of a general, and during the expedition of the Six Kingdoms, he once killed no less than dozens of people at the peak of the ground level, a real trump card army.
Qi Lao looked at the arrival of Jin Weijun, this is only the first to come, presumably there will be later, but what can this mean, Qi Xia Xuegong has been injured like this, what is the significance of their arrival, this time the account of Confucianism must not be counted, even if there is still a big man in the military department in the sky now, but he is bound to seek some justice for Confucianism this time, and before becoming a court official of the Qin State, he is a Confucian student.
"Xiao Wu, wake up!"
Lin Xu patted Xiao Wu's face, Xiao Wu slowly opened his eyes and looked at Lin Xu and a stranger.
Xiao Wu Qi obviously didn't understand what was going on, and asked Lin Xu strangely, "What's wrong with Mr. Lin?"
"It's okay, it's gone. ”
Lin Xu smiled, not planning to say anything to Xiao Wu.
"How's the situation in the Qixia Academy now?"
Xiao Wu continued Lin Xu asked, before he fainted, he seemed to remember that Qi Xia Xue Palace was being attacked by the bereaved clan.
"I think it's okay anymore. ”
Lin Xu also knew what was happening, the retreat of the remnants of the Six Kingdoms, he still knew, now that the army of the Qin State had arrived, the matter had obviously been resolved.
Everyone looked at the Qin army that was busy in the field, more and more soldiers were coming, joining the team to clean up the Xue Palace, this time the attack of the remnants, the damage to the Xia Xue Palace was too great.
Not only did the students who took the exam suffer heavy casualties, but also those senior students died a lot, and the soldiers who participated in the opening of the Qixia School Palace were almost wiped out, and after this incident, I am afraid that the influence of the Qixia School Palace will be minimized.
.........
A general dressed in black handed Qi Lao a booklet; "Mr. Qi, please take a look. ”
"There's General Law. ”
Qi Lao nodded at the general, although this general was just an ordinary mid-level master, but no one could underestimate the strength of the Jin Wei Army.
Qi Lao opened the booklet, but his face became ugly, some of the names on the roster, several of them are students who are optimistic about themselves, as long as they leave the Qixia School Palace, they will have a bright future, and there are even a few descendants of officials in the DPRK and China, who will directly become officials, starting from the grassroots level, and step by step to become the middle manager of Daqin.
"Are there so many casualties?"
Qi Lao said to the general, he still wanted to hear the general say it himself.
The general said seriously to Qi Lao: "Yes, Mr. Qi, there are still some that are not registered, among which the deaths of the freshmen are even worse, more than sixty percent, and the nobles have also died a lot, and the northern and southern soldiers are not counted, because they need to be reported to the military department, and the military department will solve it by itself!"
Qi Lao didn't say a word, ignored the general, and rushed to the students' place in person, he needed to explain to those children, and he needed to give an explanation to the parents.
Qi Lao came to the place where the answer was finally announced with a calm face, Qi Lao's mood was uncomfortable along the way, he found that he didn't know how to explain to the parents who lost their children, and he couldn't explain to the students who lost their relatives.
"Parents and students!"
Qi Lao came to the podium again, but this time there was no applause or cheers, only a numb face, looking at him with hatred.
Qi Lao said in a deep voice: "Confucianism will give you an explanation. ”
"What to confess, my child died in the academy, and his life has not yet begun. ”
"I don't want to confess, I just want my aunt. ”
"Confucianism, hahahahaha. ”
Some people cried, some people laughed wildly, the scene was very chaotic, Lin Xu guessed, if it wasn't for the fear of this noble formation master of the mainland, I am afraid that everyone would directly tear this old man apart, and the old Qin people not only had the pride of great unification in their bones, but also the bloodshed of the Seven Kingdoms.
Qi Lao listened carefully to the abuse of these parents and students, he was not angry, he remembered that when he was a child, he went to study far away, and he always felt that his mother was nagging before leaving, but his father had always been silent, and after many years, he realized that some things were lost before he could regret it.
"Please calm your anger!"
After speaking, Qi Lao knelt directly on the podium and slammed his head on the ground.
"I'll give you an explanation!"
Qi Lao knelt on the ground and said, at this moment, he thought more about the three hosts of the opening of the school palace, it was not them who died, it was himself who died.
