There are 20 students in Xiaojiang Academy, and they are generally between 20 and 25 years old.

There was no nine-year compulsory education in those days.

After attending a so-called "elementary school" in a private school, you can only enter the academy after you have reached a certain standard of ability and knowledge.

The standard is to enter the academy after the age of fifteen, and of course, there are many people in their thirties who are still studying in elementary school.

The main reason is that although you can enter a private school at the age of eight, not everyone can enter a private school at this age, as long as you enter a private school before the age of 20 and the crown, it is normal.

The students who went to Lancheng this time are all the best in the academy, and their age can be regarded as the most "normal" category.

Because in addition to "private schools", many scholars will also choose to travel during this period to increase their knowledge.

Reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles is not just talking.

"Dean, where are we going? It doesn't seem to be the way to Lancheng!" a student who always squinted his eyes approached Ning Changqing's side during a break and asked.

In the distance, I am watching the many students here.

"Lost the bet?" Ning Changqing glanced at him and said lightly: "So you came to inquire about the route?"

"No, it's a win!" the young man squinted and smiled. "Dean, you said that if you are more capable than others, then you must be more responsible than others!

"You!" Ning Changqing was a little speechless, is this used here?

The young man in front of him was called Cao Gui, and he was one of the most outstanding disciples of the academy.

He used to travel the entire Izumo alone with a sword, and he left a lot of fame, and he is still praised by people.

If there's one thing he's missing, it's that he always likes to bet with people.

"Then guess where we're going?" Ning Changqing said with his beard stroked his beard, with the meaning of the school examination in his eyes.

"Let's meet up with Shimichi Academy...... Then go to Pingdu!" Cao Gui replied without thinking about it.

"Tell me why!"

"Our academy and Yandao Academy have always had a good relationship, and this time we traveled together on the road, and we were able to communicate with each other and prepare for the confrontation with several other major academies.

This should be true both from the relationship between our two academies and from the location of our two academies.

However, if we want to go to Lancheng after converging, we should meet in Yujiang City, and the route at this time is not to Yujiang.

Looking at the route at this time, it is to go to Yancheng, which is not far from Yandao Academy.

They'll be waiting for us there, right?

Since they are meeting in Yancheng, they will definitely not follow the normal route to Lancheng. Then the only way to do this is to go to Pingdu, where there are plenty of tractors and trucks that can go directly to Lancheng.

However, Yujiang City is located on the route from Pingdu to Lancheng, so it is more time-saving to go there.

Then we must have other reasons for going to Pingdu!" Cao Gui said with a smile.

"Go on!" Ning Changqing listened to his analysis, although he was a little relieved in his heart, it was a happy thing to have such a student in the academy.

However, his hobby will make him suffer a lot sooner or later.

"There are many reasons to go to Heijo, and you can name a lot of them casually.

First, he joined up with the other academies and went to Arashiro together, but the dean hadn't mentioned it until now, so it must not be the reason.

And Lancheng won't want us to communicate eagerly in Pingdu first.

The best should be left in front of everyone.

Second, we went to the Togo Mansion and were escorted to Arashijo...... As far as I know, the security on the way from Pingdu to Lancheng is very good now, and the security in Lancheng is much better than before, so there shouldn't be so much trouble.

Thirdly, the dean was afraid that we students had unrealistic thoughts in our hearts, so he took us to Pingdu first to see how the people of Pingdu under the rule of the Metropolitan Protectorate lived and worked in peace and contentment, so as not to cause any trouble to the academy after we got Lancheng.

Fourth......

Ning Changqing listened to Cao Guiyang's sprinkling analysis, and the expression on his face never moved, which also made the other party not know whether he had guessed correctly or not.

"I have said all the six most likely possibilities, so can the dean solve our doubts?" Cao Guiyi said six in a row before he paused, and then asked.

"Which one do you think?" Ning Changqing continued to take the school test.

"I don't think it's any of them!"

Ning Changqing was slightly stunned, since none of them are any, do you still analyze six?

"My gut tells me it's neither!" Cao Gui tapped his head. "As someone who likes to bet, my instincts have always been sharp!"

"You'll know when you get there, and you can keep guessing along the way. Ning Changqing suddenly smiled at him with a childish look.

"Thank you, Dean!" Cao Gui clenched his fists at Ning Changqing.

Ning Changqing was slightly stunned, Cao Gui gave up so easily?

"I bet with them...... The dean won't tell me!" Cao Gui laughed, turning around and waving at the crowd behind him.

"Woo ——!" everyone applauded.

"You kid...... " Ning Changqing couldn't cry or laugh, he even became his gambling equipment.

"But I'm really a little curious about the reason, so I'll wait and see what happened!" Cao Gui saluted Ning Changqing before leaving.

......

A day later, everyone from Xiaojiang Academy gathered at Yandao Academy.

"Dean Yanshu, I haven't seen you for a long time. Ning Changqing greeted the dean of Xiaojiang Academy.

Students from the two faculties also greeted each other.

"The little brother follows his words, and I have seen all the brothers of Xiaojiang Academy.

These are the ...... of the next classmates, "The one who greeted him was a rather enthusiastic young man, or a teenager, who introduced him to the people of Xiaojiang Academy."

"I'm being polite!" Everyone in Xiaojiang Academy clasped their fists one after another, their attitude was not perfunctory, but it was also impossible to say how enthusiastic they were.

The reason, of course, is also because of the above.

"It's really a blessing for Sansheng to be able to go to Lancheng with all of you from Xiaojiang Academy this time, so I can't say that I want to bother and listen to your brothers' high opinions. "Yan Ruo didn't care about the other party's performance at all, and he was still extremely enthusiastic.

"Brother Ma, let's make a bet and guess if he is under this enthusiasm, eager to step on our feet. At the back of the crowd, Cao Gui patted the shoulder of a strange and ugly young man with a nose and ears, small eyes, and a pox face, and whispered in his ear.

"If two people guess the same option, the game will not hold. The ugly boy's eyes flashed, and he snorted softly.

Shimido Academy is also a well-known academy in Izumo, and its style is close to that of Xiaojiang Academy.

The founder of the Yandao Academy was under the tutelage of Xiaojiang Academy, so he also instilled its style into the Yandao Academy.

Coupled with some other relationships, the relationship between the two colleges is also good.

However, this does not mean that the relationship between the students of the two colleges will be good......

Yandao Academy can be said to be the subordinate replacement of Xiaojiang Academy.

For many people, whether it is a student or someone else, the first goal is naturally Xiaojiang Academy, and the second is Yandao Academy.

Therefore, for many students of Yandao Academy, they always feel that they are inferior to Xiaojiang Academy.

On the surface, Yandao Academy is looking forward to Xiaojiang Academy, but what many students think in their hearts is another matter.

At the very least, there is a certain desire for comparison.

"Maybe that......" Cao Gui smiled as if he didn't have it. "Or guess what?"

"What's the stake?" Ma Hualong said.

"A meal of wine in Yunyanlou!"

"Yunyan Tower in Pingdu?"

"Arashi's Cloud Tower!"

"Then it would be disrespectful! He must have other plans in his belly, and whenever he finds an opportunity, he will step on our heads and show it to others. I heard that there is a genius in Yandao Academy, surnamed Yan, it should be him, right? Remember, Yunyan Lou has a drink!" Ma Hualong said with a smile.

Cao Gui chuckled: "Then I'll guess another possibility!"

After speaking, take three steps forward. "Brother Yan, how are you doing?"

"Brother Cao, I saw you before, and seeing that you didn't react, I thought I had forgotten me!" Yan Ruo greeted him with great joy: "I still want to find a chance to talk to my brother in detail for a while! If it wasn't for my brother last time, I would be in danger." Thank you brother for the rescue!"

"You're polite, you're traveling outside, and you naturally can't sit idly by when you encounter something like that!" Cao Gui turned his head and smiled at Ma Hualong, making the other party's face darken.

fell into his trap, and the two actually knew each other!

And looking at it like this, Cao Hui also rescued him!

Set a small goal first, such as remembering in 1 second: book guest residence
