Hangzhou in June is the most beautiful season, although the location is relatively southern, but there is no sense of midsummer heat, water village and township, wine flag exhibition, a prosperous scene.

Qiao Chenan walked on the street, followed the route in his memory, and soon came to the courtyard he rented by the West Lake, the two vermilion gates were closed, the copper ring plaque, Qiao Chenan pushed the door in, and a turquoise ditch appeared in front of him, the water in the canal was drawn from the West Lake, rippling, and it was still the same scene when he left.

It's just that there are some weeds growing in the courtyard, the doors and windows of the room are all closed, and it seems that no one has lived in it for a long time, Qiao Chenan couldn't help frowning, and inspected each room, but he didn't see Huangfu Xuan's figure, but seeing that the room was neatly displayed, it didn't look like an outsider had come, and he whispered to himself: "I don't know where Ah Xuan has gone." ”

But he wasn't so worried in his heart, although Huang Fuxuan was still young, his Taoism was not low, and there were hundreds of junior brothers under him, so there was no problem.

Qiao Chen'an changed into clean clothes, and secretly thought that since Huangfu Xuan was not in the house, and he had been away for two months, he might as well go to the academy first, and after meeting the teacher, he would like to inquire about the situation of going down to Hangzhou City first. Now that he had made up his mind, Qiao Chenan no longer hesitated and rushed to the Chongwen Academy, but when he arrived, he found that the academy was deserted, and there was almost no one in sight, so he couldn't help but secretly wonder, could it be that during the time he was away, something big happened in the academy?

"This son, please stay ......"

When Qiao Chenan was about to leave, he heard someone in the academy seem to be calling him, and when he turned around, he found an old man with a white beard and about sixty years old looking at him, Qiao Chenan recognized that this old man was Li Lao'er, who was in charge of cleaning in the academy, and couldn't help but move slightly in his heart, stepped forward, and asked: "Uncle Li, why is there no trace of anyone in the academy today? Could something not happen?"

That old man Li squinted his eyes and looked at Qiao Chen'an carefully, his brows furrowed, and he said in surprise: "You, are you Qiao Chen'an Qiao's son?"

Qiao Chenan never thought that the other party actually recognized him, nodded subconsciously, and said, "My uncle knows me?"

Old Master Li smiled when he heard this, and said, "Young Master Qiao, you are the number one talent in our Hangzhou City, and you are also a member of our Chongwen Academy, how can I not recognize ...... old man?"

Speaking of this, he didn't know what to think of, his expression changed first, then he stretched out, grabbed Qiao Chen'an's arm, and pulled him to walk outside the academy, saying as he walked: "Finally, Gongzi Qiao, you are back, this time I will see how those people are ......arrogant again" In the end, Mr. Li didn't know what he thought, his face changed for a while, and he actually laughed.

Qiao Chenan didn't know why, seeing his appearance, he almost thought that the old man beside him was suffering from hysteria, and said, "Uncle, what are you doing in such a hurry to pull me out, let's make it clear first......"

Old man Li's strength was not small, he only pulled Qiao Chenan forward, and muttered: "You'll know when you get to the son......"

Along the way, under Qiao Chen'an's questioning, he finally figured out what happened from the old man's mouth, it turned out that after the last Jingci Temple change, the middle school students in the academy were seriously injured and injured, and the academy people couldn't find his trace, and thought that he had suffered an accident and became the food in the mouth of the monster, and his teacher Wang Lizhi was sad for a long time after hearing the news.

As for the reason why there is no one in the academy, it is not because of any disaster, Hangzhou City is located in Ningzhou, less than a thousand miles away from the capital Lin'an, compared to the rest of the states are much more prosperous, the style of study is thick, there are many academies side by side, this time it is several academies in the north of Ningzhou to unite and exchange knowledge with the students of Hangzhou academies.

In fact, this kind of thing is very common in Ningzhou, Yanzhou, and Donghuazhou, after all, there are hundreds of academies in these three states, but if you stay in the academy all day long to read the scriptures and recite the scriptures, it is inevitable that you will be a little bored, so the academies will agree on a time and place every once in a while, and try to learn from the scriptures and history, so that you can not only exchange knowledge and experience, but also take this opportunity to meet many students from other academies, which is a beautiful thing.

But Qiao Chenan smelled a trace of unusual smell from this incident, as a student of Wang Lizhi, in addition to following him to learn literature, he also has some understanding of the affairs of the court, as far as he knows, several academies in Hangzhou this time, there seems to be the figure of the court behind it, and it has always been inconsistent with Wang Lizhi, the reason why Wang Lizhi was relegated to Hangzhou before, there is also the reason why the other party is troubled.

Not long after Wang Lizhi returned to Beijing, these academies came in a hurry, and they could not be treated as ordinary in any case.

After walking for about a quarter of an hour, Qiao Chen'an looked forward, only to see that under the high sky, the lake was as crystal clear as jasper, and the painting boat was moored at the water's edge, and it turned out that he had unconsciously returned to the shore of the West Lake.

Qiao Chen Anqi said: "Uncle, why did you bring me here?"

Mr. Li took him to the lake, saluted him respectfully, and said, "I have a lot of reckless behavior towards the talented old man, and I hope that the son will not be surprised." ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the largest painting boat not far away, and said, "Childe, please look, everyone is in that boat." I'm just a layman, so I won't accompany my son. ”

Qiao Chenan saluted to Mr. Li, raised his head and looked at the place where the painting was held, his eyes were slightly condensed, as if he had already glimpsed the scene, the matter had come to this, even if he wanted to leave, he couldn't, not to mention that there was no need to leave. Since all the students in Hangzhou are here, it is time to go and have a look.

Walk up to the boat.

Not far from here, Xiao Qing had just left from a street stall, and when he turned around, he happened to catch a glimpse of Qiao Chen'an's figure, and suddenly his eyes were stared, his beautiful eyes were slightly upside down, and his eyes revealed a little divine light, and he said to himself: "Why is this guy here?"

To be honest, she didn't have a good impression of Qiao Chen'an in her heart, after all, when the two met for the first time, she was forced to be very embarrassed by the latter, and she was inevitably a little hostile in her heart.

Originally, with her brutal nature, she had suffered such a big grievance before, so she had to take revenge back, but with what happened later, Xiaoqing was not good at looking for Qiao Chen'an's troubles again.

"What is this guy doing in the boat?"

Xiaoqing stood on the side of the street, her eyes were as bright as jade, and her whole person was full of heroism, she pondered for a moment and muttered, "Are you going to ...... This shameless disciple!"

As he spoke, his face was a little red, so he stomped his feet hatefully, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, look at how this girl cleans you up this time!"
