Chapter 15: Descending the Mountain
Although Fang Zhongjin still had important things to do in the Huashan faction, he was inexplicably sent down the mountain gate.
Going down the mountain was not Fang Zhongjin's wish, but it made other disciples, especially those disciples of the Middle Court, go crazy with jealousy.
When the news spread, there will be no shortage of congratulations, and there are also some people who talk about it behind their backs.
But this "Tuo Nan Sheng" has already established its prestige in the lower house. But there is not a single person in the House of Commons who is not proud from the bottom of his heart.
Everyone is beaming with joy and honor. Immediately, a disciple of the lower courtyard took the initiative to serve Fang Zhongjin, but Gai Xing, who lived in the same room with him, tried his best to stop these people.
It's just because Gai Xing feels that he has a lot to do with the three newcomers, especially "Tuo Nan Sheng". Even if he wants to be a lackey's minions, he must come first.
Although Fang Zhongjin felt funny in his heart, he still lined up and came to the Foreign Affairs Institute to report.
Jiang Cheng, the dean of foreign affairs, is a meticulous and cautious person. Rao is like this, he sat at the big desk and looked through the record of this "Tuo Nan Sheng" for a long time, and he couldn't help but smack his tongue.
The nominal disciples sent by the "Inhuman Pavilion" were personally sent by the head of the house and placed them in the lower courtyard. once injured five disciples of the Intermediate Court in a row, and in the end, they were gently let go by Gong Yanghui of the Shoulu Academy.
is also because there is too little manpower now, in the name of "atonement for sins", he went down the mountain to do things in the name of righteousness.
Jiang Cheng finally sighed, looked up and said to "Tuo Nansheng": "You have only been here for a few days, and you have so many records. How many disciples have been in Huashan for almost ten years, and they don't have as many 'achievements' as you. ”
After that, he leaned back in his chair, looked up and said to Fang Zhongjin: "Okay, since there are so many people to protect you." For the time being, I will send you to the old man of the Tianshan Mountains to deliver the letter. But there are two things you must remember.
First, although you are a nominal disciple, when you go out, others will only treat you as a member of the Huashan Sect. Therefore, you must abide by the rules of the famous and decent family in your words and deeds, and do not tarnish the signboard of our Huashan faction. Do you know?"
Jiang Cheng saw that this "Tuo Nan Sheng" just nodded, not at all like other disciples, who were excited when they went down the mountain gate for the first time. His words were also full of authority. Now it is like a mud cow entering the sea, leaving no trace on the body of "Tuo Nansheng".
Jiang Cheng had no choice but to say in a deep voice: "The second thing is that after your mission is completed this time, you must return to Huashan before April. A day or an hour late is not enough. If it's late, no matter how many people protect you, you'll have to be punished!
Fang Zhongjin finally gave Jiang Cheng some face this time, and arched his hand and said, "The disciple takes the order." ”
Jiang Cheng waved his hand and said to him, "Go ahead, go to the door and get a set of clothes to wrap around." The Tianshan Mountains are a long way away, and you are late to set off again. You have to be quick. ”
Fang Zhongjin bowed his hand again and left the house.
Jiang Cheng looked at the back of this tall young man, and all kinds of thoughts were entangled in his heart.
Although this son is just a nominal name, he doesn't know why he was able to win the favor of his senior brother Nong Yingjie. What's so wrong with that?
Does Senior Brother Qiu, the head of the house, already know all kinds of situations in the lower court?
There are many grievances between the head and Nong Yingjie. What is the relationship between the two of them now, and this group of juniors and disciples can't see many clues. In short, it is the best choice not to be troublesome.
Seeing that the young man's back finally disappeared outside the door, Jiang Cheng finally withdrew his gaze.
On the other side, Fang Zhongjin came to the outside of the courtyard smoothly and received the coiling from Huashan from the disciples of the Foreign Affairs Academy. There were only one hundred taels of silver and a decent set of disciple's clothes. There is also a properly sealed brocade box, which is naturally for the old man.
Although this hundred taels of silver is a lot, it is not much to support this road to the Tianshan Mountains.
Fortunately, Fang Zhongjin has been a rich man since he returned from the Ryukyus. It is not difficult to buy a few healthy horses to run all the way to the Tianshan Mountains.
Fang Zhongjin had already brought all the important things with him. Now when he came out of the Foreign Affairs Courtyard, he ran all the way to the mountain gate.
When he came to the mountain gate, he saw that there were already more than a dozen people standing there.
Among them, there are not only lower court disciples. There is also Ge Rongxuan, who looks honest and stubborn, and the slender and white rabbit master.
As soon as they saw Fang Zhongjin coming from afar, they all cheered up and greeted each other with smiles.
It seems that this group of people came to give "Tuo Nan Sheng" a ride.
When Fang Zhongjin approached, this group of people was even more happily sticky.
There are those who express their joy, and there are those who express reluctance. Everyone turned over the tricks and approached the brocade set in the square.
What's more, Gai Xing took a burden and handed it to Fang Zhongjin and said, "Senior Brother Tuo, they all say that the poor family is rich. You don't know how far you're going. These entanglements were made up for you by the brothers and sisters in the lower house. Fifty taels per person, everyone expressed their hearts. ”
When Fang Zhongjin heard this, he said in his heart that these disciples had a lot more oil and water than the mountain gate of the Huashan faction. He thanked him, and honestly and unceremoniously took the burden and carried it on his back.
Master Rabbit finally interjected and asked, "Where is Senior Brother Tuo going down the mountain this time, and how long will it take to come back?"
Fang Zhongjin didn't intend to hide it from them, but said, "I'm going to Tianshan." It's going to take months. ”
As soon as he said this, he found that those disciples in the lower courtyard were all quiet. There was a strange look on everyone's face.
Gai Xing boldly asked, "Senior Brother Tuo, where are you going to Tianshan?"
Fang Zhongjin said inexplicably: "The old man of the Tianshan Demon Suppression." How?"
After saying this, except for Ge Rongxuan and Rabbit Ye, who were not familiar with the stories of the rivers and lakes, the rest of them were silent.
Some even had a pitiful look on their faces.
In the final analysis, this "Tuo Nan Sheng" still comes from the lower house. This is a fact that cannot be changed!
Although it was an errand to get out of the mountain gate, it was also a place where no one wanted to go after being picked by the upper court.
Although Master Rabbit didn't understand what was going on, he still smiled and said to Fang Zhongjin: "Senior Brother Tuo, take care all the way, go early and return early!"
After these words were spoken, only Ge Rongxuan was left to follow Yinghe. The rest of the people were hesitant.
In the end, Gai Xing "snorted" and said to everyone: "Don't cry with a sad face. Who said that Senior Brother Tuo would definitely not be able to come back?"
The rest of the people woke up like they had just woken up from a dream, and each said some auspicious words of farewell to Fang Zhongjin. But the faces of everyone were not as jubilant as before.
Although Fang Zhongjin didn't know what was going on with these people, he said in his heart that he was just going to deliver a letter, was he really worried about his life?
He Fang Zhongjin is now improving his kung fu every day, which is not comparable to the past. Even if the residence of the old man who subdued the demon was really the Longtan Tiger's Den, he couldn't complete the task at most, could there be a reason why he couldn't get out of the way?
In the end, Fang Zhongjin walked out of the mountain gate step by step under the eyes of everyone.
The trail outside the gate was still as difficult as it had been when he had gone up the mountain. A twisted and steep mountain path looks like a long dragon soaring into the sky from afar. This mountain is entrenched in deceit, and when Fang Zhongjin sneaks into the world, what kind of bloody wind will there be?
