Want to change the Guangling Academy into the official school of Wu County? "

"It's not Wujun's official school, but Taixue." Qi Dai's eyes sparkled.

"Move Guangling Academy to Luoyang?"

"That's right." Qi Dai said, "Not long after Luoyang was recovered, the original educated scholars were scattered everywhere. Instead of looking for the gentlemen of Taixue in Luoyang, it is better to invite the gentlemen from Guangling Academy to Taixue. The gentlemen here Originally, there were quite a few Nanjing who moved from the north to the south, and their knowledge is top-notch, so you can rest assured."

"Of course I don't worry." Zhou Yu shook Qi Dai's hand, "It's just that this is supposed to be your Qi family's private school, you..."

"As I said, I have nothing for a long time. The Qi family has been destroyed, and I will not come back. We might as well take the gentlemen of the academy to Luoyang this time. Can become the first batch of Tai students."

"Then you... want to take charge of Taixue when you return to Luoyang?" Zhou Yu squeezed Qi Dai's hand tightly, "If you want to be in Taixue, I will make you a sacrificial wine."

"These gentlemen and their children have a deep relationship with the Qi family. To avoid suspicion, I won't be in charge of Taixue." Qi Dai lightly kissed Zhou Yu's forehead, and said for a long time, "Besides, compared to Taixue, I would rather be in charge of Sijian Pavilion. I can do things that others can't do, so that I can spend my time in Luoyang Palace without guilt..."

Qi Dai's word "death" hadn't been uttered yet, but it had been blocked by Zhou Yu's kiss. Between his lips and teeth, Zhou Yu said vaguely: "Don't worry..."

Qi Dai let out a sigh of relief, he remembered that the person who mentioned Taixue to him before returning to Guangling this time was Wen Tao.If it weren't for Wen Tao's body of guilt, he would actually be the most suitable person to be in charge of Taixue.However, Wen Tao's meaning was very clear, he didn't want to stay in Sijian Pavilion, nor did he want to stay in Taixue, he just wanted to leave.

Forget it, after one year the Wuchang Army is completely dismantled, let Wen Tao out... Qi Dai feels Zhou Yu's increasingly hot temperature, Wen Tao, he probably yearns for Pu Chen in the same way.

108, 108.

One year later, Youzhou.

The first snow in Youzhou came very early this year.After the Mid-Autumn Festival, before September, the first snow came.The snow in the North land was falling fast and fiercely, and the snowflakes covered the sky and covered the sun, submerging the entire Youzhou city in an instant.A gust of cold wind blew past, and the heaven and earth were filled with a murderous aura.

A young man walked out of the inn. He was tall and tall, and his face was hidden under a cloak. If you took a closer look, you would find that this man was really good-looking, but he was a little thin, and his skin was also unhealthy pale. There was some incompatibility among the burly men of the Northland.

"My lord, the official road to the north is narrow, and there will be no carriages, and it will be even more difficult to walk when it snows." The shopkeeper of the inn looked at the young man's carriage and horses, and rubbed his hands to make sure.

The young man thought for a while and said, "How about I exchange this carriage for a good horse? The horse must be durable."

"That's good! When will the young master leave?" The shopkeeper's eyes almost disappeared from laughter.The young man's carriage looked top-grade at first glance, and although the harnessed horse was not as durable as the local ones, it was still a fine horse, and he would have made a lot of money in exchange for his own horse.

"Hurry up, I'm in a hurry." The young man said, and returned to the inn alone.

Half an hour later, the horse and harness were all ready, the young gentleman jumped on the horse, skillfully controlled the reins with his right hand, and walked north along the official road in the snow.

The Youzhou Army is stationed outside Xindu City. Xindu is backed by Yanshan Mountain and has a mutual market with Beiyan.Xin is a small border town, and it is definitely not the same as Wuchang.The young man found a place to stay in Xindu City, just after You hour, the sky outside had gradually darkened, the snow didn't show any sign of stopping, and the entire Yanshan Mountain was covered in a vast expanse of white snow.The young man asked for a small jug of wine, took a few sips with the steamed buns, and a burning sensation slid down his throat. Beidi shochu is very strong, but it can warm you up.He looked out of the window, and the Youzhou army barracks stationed outside the city of Xindu was faintly visible. In the depths of the barracks was a barracks, the tallest of which was only two floors. Judging by the regulations, it should be the general's mansion of the commander of the Youzhou army.

The young gentleman sighed softly, thinking of the grandeur of the former governor's mansion in Wuchang, his beautiful peach eyes showed a bit of loneliness.He took off his outer robe and put on his night clothes, his forehead was tied up high, revealing his delicate brows and eyes, it was Wen Tao.

Qi Dai abided by the agreement, and let Wentao leave Sijian Pavilion after the Wuchang army was divided into three and completely settled down.When he left, Qi Dai finally asked: "Are you really not considering Si Jiange? If you stay, I can try to help you get rid of your crimes, and you can go to Taixue later." Wen Tao waved his hand , without any nostalgia and walk away.

Just like when he left Guangling Academy.

Wen Tao covered it with a cloth and sneaked into the Youzhou Army's barracks under the cover of night.The north side of the Youzhou Army's barracks faced Yanshan Mountain and was heavily guarded, while the south side faced the gate of Xindu City, and the checkpoints were relatively loose.The wind and snow were strong tonight, under the cover of the wind and snow, Wen Tao avoided the sergeants in the camp with light work, jumped to the roof of the General's Mansion, found a place that could shelter from the wind and snow, and observed the entire General's Mansion.

When he was in Wuchang before, Pu Chen made careful and strict arrangements for the personal guards of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion. This is the tradition that Pu Chen formed from Pu Yang's generation.Pu Yang was assassinated many times in his life, and he had very high requirements for his personal guards.When it came to Puchen, the number of personal guards in the Wuchang Metropolitan Government's Mansion was only halved after Zhou Yu ascended the throne.Now in Youzhou, Wen Tao took a rough look and found that the number of personal guards in the entire General’s Mansion is less than one-tenth of that in Wuchang. Although the personnel arrangement is basically the same as in Wuchang, many of the former guards are no longer in the Youzhou Army. , the current personal guard combat power is not a bit worse than before.

Wen Tao judged Pu Chen's room based on the distribution of the guards.Wen Tao glanced over, and saw that the candle was still burning in the room, and a silhouette of a man was reflected by the window. Wen Tao's heart trembled, he traced the profile of this man in his heart, and compared it with the familiar figure in his mind one by one. .The lines on his face are a little tighter, he should be thinner, his back is not as straight as before, a little bent, and he seems to be holding a flagon in his hand.Wen Tao's heart tightened, his eyes followed the silhouette of the man, who knows that he didn't stop for a long time, raised his head and drank the contents of the pot, stumbled and walked a few steps, opened the door wide, and shouted : "Wine, what about wine?"

Wen Tao took a deep breath, the man was staggering, with messy hair, blue stubble on his face, and a fur cloak casually draped over his body, just like a drunk who can be seen casually in Xindu Inn.If it weren't for his eyes in the snowy night still retaining the cold sharpness of the past, Wen Tao would have almost failed to recognize that the person in front of him was the former Great Sima, who was also his only purpose all the way north, Pu Chen.

A personal guard hurried over and tried to persuade him: "General, I drank too much today. Strong alcohol will hurt your health, so don't drink it."

Pu Chen grabbed the skirt of his shirt and said harshly: "Where's the wine?"

The personal guard quickly took out two jugs of warm wine from his bosom, and muttered, "General, you can't treat yourself like this..."

Pu Chen took the wine, pushed the man hard, only said "Get out", and staggered back to the room.

Wen Tao has been hiding in the dark for more than half an hour. The night clothes he was wearing were already flimsy, but the biting wind and snow penetrated into his body, and his joints were already white with cold.However, the sum of all these chills can't compare to the coldness in his heart at this moment.

Wen Tao withdrew from the barracks and returned to the inn in Xindu. It took half an hour for the coldness and stiffness in his body to ease.He felt physically tired, but mentally sober.He calculated the time, and it was already past time, he was exhausted all the way, but he didn't feel sleepy at all, all he saw was Pu Chen's drunk appearance.He sighed resignedly, went downstairs, and went silently to the kitchen of the inn.It was late at night, and there was no one in the kitchen. He used the ingredients in the kitchen to cook a small pot of hangover soup.The ingredients are not as complete as Wuchang, but they can finally make up a lot.He found a jug, poured the hangover soup into the mouth of the jug, and sneaked into the General's Mansion in the blink of an eye.

It was already late at night, there was no one in the mansion except the guards on duty, Pu Chen's room was dark, it seemed that people had already fallen asleep, and at least he didn't drink all night.Wen Tao let out a sigh of relief, and stunned the four guards in front of Pu Chen's room with incense. According to the arrangement of Wuchang's guards, when the guards change when they are ugly, Wen Tao still has enough time.

As soon as he stepped into the room, it was dark inside. Wen Tao closed his eyes for a while to adapt, and suddenly felt a warm object leaning against his calf. The civet cat Taotao raised!Probably because in the Northland, this civet cat is also getting old day by day, it has lost the dexterity it used to have, but its eyes are still big and round, and it is sweeping Wen Tao with its tail at this moment.

Wen Tao settled down and made a silent gesture. The cat seemed to understand it, and didn't bark. Instead, he walked into the room on the second floor, turning his head every few steps, as if worried that Wen Tao would not follow. Like coming up.Wen Tao followed the civet cat to the innermost room, and there was a smell of alcohol, and it turned out to be Pu Chen's bedroom, with seven or eight jugs lying around under the bed, all of which were Xindu shochu, strong and pungent.Pu Chen was lying on the bed with all his clothes on, his boots on, and only half a pillow on his head. It looked like a very uncomfortable sleeping position.Wen Tao checked his breath and saw that he was sleeping deeply, so he helped him take off his boots, straightened his body, and wrapped him in the quilt.

He used to be like this, he never slept well, and when he woke up in the middle of the night, the quilt was always rolled into a corner by him.
