Famous all over the world

Jiang She thought it sounded interesting, but when he heard such a sentence suddenly, he couldn't help but suspect that he had heard it wrong.But looking at Xu Su's disgruntled face, and thinking about some of his previous words against Zhuang Shuo, he felt that it seemed reasonable. Seeing that both of them were silent for a while, he asked, "Did I hear wrong?" ? Are you two saying that you will try?"

He Ding glanced at Xu Su and sighed, "Yes, the Major General didn't know that Ashuo didn't take part in the examination."

Xu Suu came to his senses, and snorted, "What do you think I am doing? What can I hide for him? Anyway, the list will be released in two days, and no one will be able to hide it. Besides, he didn't say that he would hide it. Come on, he has eaten the weights and is determined to do such things as abandoning the exam, so he is afraid that someone will try to persuade him to fail?"

Jiang She didn't feel suspicious. From what she had heard, it would not be difficult for Zhuang Shuo to win the first prize in one fell swoop. How could he give up the exam?I really don't know why Xu Su still looks like this.She thought that the Zhuang family had a good relationship with her family for generations, and if she could do her part, it would be good, so she asked again: "I don't know why he is like this, is there some difficulty?"

Xu Su sneered, "Why else, I want to become a fairy and go crazy."

Jiang She was at a loss. If it was said that Emperor Zhaoning might really want to seek immortals and Taoism, she would not be surprised, but Zhuang Shuo... Seeing that he is already extraordinary, how could he have such unrealistic thoughts?But she also felt that Xu Su was really dissatisfied with this, and it was difficult to get an answer from him, so she looked at He Ding.

He Ding also saw what she meant, and said: "It's not really a problem, but it does have something to do with becoming a fairy. How should I put it... Has the major general heard of Tianjimen?"

Jiang She vaguely felt that he had heard this name before, "I have heard it a little bit, it seems to be a martial art?"

"Yes, but not all of them." He Ding didn't seem to know how to explain it, and after thinking about it, he said, "Has the young general heard of the Kuaiji Academy?"

The name was somewhat familiar, Jiang She nodded and said, "It seems to be a well-known school?"

"It's very famous." He Ding saw that she didn't know much, but he just smiled, "The school is located in Songshan, more than a hundred miles away from the capital, and it is the most fascinating place for scholars in the world. Every three years , students will be selected from all over the country, and the students will be selected based on merit. Entrance must pass three exams. In terms of difficulty, it is even better than the imperial examination. Because the three exams are all-encompassing and require a lot of research, people like me who study books generally If you go, you will also bring shame on yourself.”

Xu Su snorted, "That's natural, you can barely get a Jinshi and rank, but this time you are lucky, maybe you can be a champion."

He Ding was not angry, "I don't dare to think about being the number one scholar. If I ask for a flirtatious person, I will probably get my wish."

Xu Su glanced at him sideways, "I said earlier that you don't put on airs, except for A Shuo, who else can compete with you?"

Jiang She thought to himself that although the two of them were always trying to squeeze each other out, Xu Su still thought highly of him after all. Now she thought of Kuaiji Academy, but she didn't know what it had to do with Tianjimen, but Seeing that He Ding shook his head, "You also take the scholars of the world too lightly, others don't care for now, but there is one..." He glanced at her as he spoke, which made her mutter again in her heart, "Forget it, we'll know when the rankings are released in the future."

But Xu Su refused: "Why are you like this? Half-talking is the most annoying thing. You're talking, so who is this one?"

He Ding smiled wryly and said, "Speak, but let's finish talking about Tianjimen first."

Xu Su's face darkened instantly again, "Then tell me."

I don't know how the Tianjimen offended him this time, and it made him gnash his teeth like this when he mentioned it.Jiang She couldn't help becoming curious, although he still cared about He Ding's glance just now, but he suppressed it for the time being, looked at He Ding, and waited for him to speak further.

"The Kuaiji Academy is actually born out of the Tianji Gate, and it still has a lot of connections with the Tianji Gate. Let me say this, the major general must know the special features of the Tianji Gate."

Jiang She guessed: "This Tianji sect doesn't seem to be just a martial arts sect."

"Yes, it is said to be a martial arts sect, but in fact it is quite complicated and has a deep origin." He Ding nodded, with a little more solemn expression, "Some people say that it has established a sect in the previous dynasty, but others say it is Too. The grandfather secretly ordered someone to build it, but probably only the previous masters know the truth. There are seven sects in the Tianji sect, including Tianji, Jinglue, Yanwu, Tongming, Shushu, Huiwen, and Spring and Autumn. Knowing geography is all-encompassing, and one of them, if you can master it well, you will be a talent for governing the world. I heard that the Kuaiji Academy came from this door, but since the establishment of the academy, , Tianjimen will no longer accept and teach the children of your family, unless you swear to never become an official, you can go up the mountain. After that, the number of children from your family who went to Tianjimen will be much less, and in these years, there is only one uncle of Ashuo."

Jiang She had almost guessed the reason, "So, brother Zhuang is going to learn the art of strategy?"

"No..." He Ding shook his head, "He entered the sect of secrets, and he wants to see the way of heaven, Xiao Yin and Yang."

Jiang She couldn't help but feel a little dazed, all of them are not allowed to be officials, so is there any difference?

Before she could ask a question, Xu Su's face became more and more gloomy. He suddenly picked up the wine glass and took a long gulp.

"Why are you drinking now?" He Ding looked at him and sighed, "Wait a minute..."

But Xu Su acted as if he hadn't heard his words, and said angrily: "What is peeping at the sky and knowing the yin and yang? It's just something to fool people. He, he is simply deceived by lard, Major General, you, you..."

He Ding sighed softly, "A Su, are you already drunk? What are you talking about?"

Xu Su just shook his head, but after just a while, his face turned red, "I told you earlier, I can drink very well now."

Jiang She was still in the fog, but looking at his appearance, I felt that it was not good to ask about Tianjimen at this time.Jiang Yuan, who had been silent by the side, suddenly said, "Okay."

Only then did Jiang She see that the mutton had been grilled to a brilliant golden color, Xu Su screamed badly, and jumped up, thinking that if he didn't care about it at this moment, he didn't know how it would be burnt, but when he got closer, he didn't know what to do. Seeing that it seemed to be roasted just right, he glanced at Jiang Yuan blankly, then went to fetch the knife in a daze, but Jiang Yuan had already drawn out the knife, and divided it very skilfully, and soon went to one person. Put a plate in front of you.

Xu Su stared at the meat on the plate, swallowed unconsciously, and raised his head to look at Jiang Yuan, "Little General...is there anything in this world that you don't know?"

Jiang Yuan didn't make a sound, Jiang She said with a smile: "That's not true, it's just that in the past when I was marching, I occasionally hunted wild game, and no one helped me, so I was forced to deal with it myself."

Xu Su nodded, "Oh..." After tasting it, he was full of praise.

He Ding also picked up a chopstick, chewed slowly, and praised with a smile.

Hearing his words, Xu Su suddenly raised his head, "By the way, who exactly were you talking about just now?"

"What is who?" Seeing that he was about to get angry again, He Ding suddenly remembered, "You mean the champion candidate? It's Mr. Du Feng."

"Du Feng... Mr. Du?" Xu Su opened his eyes wide, "This name sounds familiar, but I can't remember it at the moment... Hey, the surname is Du, it can't be..." His eyes also fell on her , Seeing that He Ding nodded, he couldn't help being even more surprised, "It's really him?"

Jiang She felt suspicious, "Who is Mr. Du?"

Xu Su looked at her in surprise, "Don't the Major General know?"

He Ding said, "It's not surprising that the Major General doesn't know about it. After all, Mr. Du has been away from Beijing for seven or eight years, and no one would mention him easily. In fact, if it wasn't for the praise he often heard when he was young, he would have a good impression of him." Shen, I almost didn’t recognize him in the test room that day.” Seeing that Jiang She was still full of doubts, he obviously didn’t know anything, and then he explained, “Mr. Du is the eldest son of Du Shaobao.”

Only then did Jiang She know why Xu Su was so surprised, and she was also surprised at this time, "So I have such a cousin, my parents should have mentioned it, maybe I was too young at the time, so I didn't remember it. But After coming to Beijing, I have never heard of it from my uncle and aunt, so I don’t know what is the reason? Can Mr. He talk about it conveniently?”

Not only the husband and wife of the country, even the Empress Dowager and Emperor Zhaoning never mentioned it, Jiang Dushi would not talk about it with her, she always thought that the husband and wife of the country had no children.

He Ding sighed, "Although it's not appropriate for me, but what Master Xu said is true, when the ranking is released, you can't hide it from others. It's good that the major general knows it well." After a pause, he continued, "Actually I was still young at the time, and I only vaguely remember hearing people say that Ling cousin seems to be for a confidante."

"It seems like it is." Xu Su bit the mutton and interjected vaguely, "I remember my father scolded him at that time, saying that he had no ambitions. As a result, my mother quarreled with him , say what you say, that is Hao Erlang who values ​​love and righteousness... It seems that no matter what kind of woman she is, she always hopes..." before the words were finished, there was a thud.

He was startled, and followed the prestige, only to realize that it was Jiang Yuan who accidentally knocked over the wine cup, so he forgot what he said earlier, and only asked her if she was okay.

Jiang She saw it, but didn't say anything.

He Ding looked as usual, "Although this is the case, the major general also knows that there are many false rumors in Beijing. No one knows what happened. However, it is true that my cousin has not been heard from since he left Beijing. I just don't know why this year. I will come to take part in the examination." He was silent for a while, and then suddenly said, "It's a little hard to say, but I actually asked someone to check it secretly. Mr. Du's household registration is in Yanzhou, and the girl's ancestors seem to be from Yanzhou. Yes Based on past rumors, it may not be groundless."

Hearing this, Jiang She found it inconceivable that she had acquired such a talented and affectionate cousin out of thin air, and hearing what He Ding meant, no one in Beijing knew about it. He really was in high school, above the palace, what kind of scene would that be?It's hard to imagine.

Xu Su also showed disbelief on his face, "You have checked carefully, and you have known things that the country's father-in-law didn't even know. If I don't ask today, you really want to wait until the list is released, and then come out all at once." Two shocking things?"

"Maybe it's three." He Ding smiled and took a sip of his wine, "If I can't be romantic, I might as well go to the south of the crown and be a wild crane."

Xu Su snorted, "You can save yourself, even if Li Zhi chases you to the ends of the earth, he will chase you back."

He Dinghun smiled nonchalantly, "With young talents like Young Master Xu, Brother Li won't look far away."

"Don't, don't talk nonsense... I'm different from you." Xu Su shook his head abruptly, glanced at Jiang Yuan, saw that her and Jiang She's expressions didn't change much, and secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and quickly invited them to drink. At the same time, he also raised the cup to his mouth, "A good man has ambitions everywhere, major general, young general, I toast you a glass."

He Ding shook his head, and picked up the cup, "Then let's go together, I wish us all the best and get what we want."

"Excellent!" Xu Su nodded emphatically, and Jiang She didn't ask any more questions, just smiled and raised his glasses to each other, saying that he accepted his auspicious words. "Spirited wine indeed."

"Really?" Xu Su's eyes lit up, but his tongue grew bigger. He filled up her and Jiang Yuan's cup, and was about to fill up another cup for himself, but He Ding stretched out his hand to hold his hand, "Come on, that's it." It's the second cup, so I can't drink any more."

Xu Su shook his head vigorously, "No, don't disappoint." He said that, but even his eyes seemed to have red threads, "Little General... let's go to the horse race tomorrow, and don't worry about the messy things in the city... ..."

"It seems that he is completely drunk." He Ding smiled bitterly at Jiang She, sighed, and got up to get his cup.

Xu Su refused to give it, covered the mouth of the cup, stood up and hid aside, but his steps were already staggering, clearly in a posture of falling down at any time, but he still said bravely: "I'm not drunk, I'm sober Very. Major general, I can’t figure it out, why shouldn’t we fight?”

He Ding hurriedly said: "Major General, don't take it seriously, it's because he was drunk that he started talking nonsense."

Xu Su glared at him fiercely, "You're just talking nonsense, you know how to do things behind my back all day long, and you don't want to persuade Ashuo..." He looked at her again with burning eyes, "Major General, Don't listen to his nonsense, I don't mean anything else, I just can't figure it out... It's not that I can't figure it out, of course there is a reason not to fight, but I really want to go and have a look in Liangzhou... I also want to ...A man should gallop on the battlefield, shrouded in horse leather, how can he shrink his head..."

He Ding's eyes were full of helplessness, "A Suo!"

Jiang Yuan moved slightly, as if he wanted to get up and drive him away.

Jiang She only shook his head at her, looking at Xu Su's expectant eyes, he couldn't help sighing secretly.

Zhanhe, Hezhan, it couldn't be easier to say, it seems that just saying "fight" can immediately pull out Mobei by its roots.If so, why would she not want to?After all, there are thousands of people in Beijing, but in fact, she wants to fight no one as much as she wants to win, and no one wants to win than she wants to win.

If she didn't know about the powerful enemies around her, if she didn't know about the emptiness of the national treasury...but, she knew it.

Maybe she was being too careful, though.

Emperor Zhaoning said that he was cowardly, but in fact, why isn't she?If you really want to fight, you may not have no chance of winning.If it was Qin Caisang, maybe he would go forward indomitably, even if he lost, it wouldn't matter.

But it's actually different, she can't lose, if she loses, she will lose not only the appearance of the General Protector's Mansion, but also her own life, but also the soldiers of the three armies and the elders of Liangzhou.

She thought of this, but was taken aback for a second.

Strange, why did you suddenly think of her just now?

She looked down at the sword on her waist, and silently calculated that it had been quite some time since Luoyang left. I don't know how the girl was doing in the rivers and lakes. She had never heard of her story before. She has such a temperament , Maybe you have to suffer?I don't know if we will see you again...

She had been away for a while, so she naturally forgot about Xu Su. The young man didn't look disappointed when he didn't get her answer, and said to himself, "Forget it, if you don't fight, don't fight, anyway, fight back and forth." , the sufferers are all the border people.” He sat down next to her, took her arm and said, “But I really don’t want Ah Shuo to go to the Tianji Gate... Major General, please persuade him... okay? ?”

Jiang She felt a little uncomfortable, and was surprised again. He didn't know how to evade it, but suddenly felt his arm loosen, and saw his body go limp, and he suddenly became fatigued.She watched him slip and fall to the ground, she couldn't help but laugh, she looked at He Ding, but she was not surprised to see him, "I'm really drunk this time, but I've made some progress, and it's two glasses down." Seeing that she still wanted to call him After waking up, he said again, "Don't worry about him, the major general. He is very angry and the carpet is thick. Just tell him to sleep."

Jiang She shook his head and said, "It's still not right, why not send him back."

He Ding actually sat back again, with a casual tone, "It's okay, he's used to it. In fact, it's fine if he's drunk, I have something to say to the major general alone."

Jiang She's heart moved when he heard it, but he also vaguely felt that this was the only way to say it, but...she couldn't help but glanced at Jiang Yuan, He Ding seemed to understand her meaning, and said with a smile: "It's okay, the little general can also listen."

Jiang Yuan remained calm, He Ding smiled again, but he didn't try to keep it up, "Major General should also find it strange? Don't worry about Mr. Zhuang going to the Tianjimen Jingluemen, he can go as soon as he wants, how about Ah Suo?" But I want to call you to persuade."

Jiang She nodded, she was indeed a little puzzled.

He Ding turned the empty wine glass in his hand, "I interrupted him just now, but I didn't explain it clearly. In fact, Tianji is a gate, which is different from the other six gates. Once you enter the mountain gate, unless you betray the gate wall, you will not be allowed to go down the mountain for life. Never see relatives and friends at the foot of the mountain again."

Jiang She couldn't help being taken aback, "There are such strict rules?"

"That's right, it's such an unkind rule." He Ding smiled, "It's really not far from being a monk, and we all pay attention to the purity of all six senses. In fact, we are reluctant to go with him, but if a person has made up his mind, It’s useless for others to say more, Major General, don’t you think so?”

When he said this, his tone was very light, and it didn't seem that there was too much reluctance. Jiang She couldn't help but glanced at him, but he didn't comment, "It's true, people have their own ambitions, and they can't be strong."

"Yeah, but Ah Suo doesn't understand. In fact, sometimes I envy him very much..." He Ding smiled again, looked down at Xu Su who was snoring like thunder, and then looked up at her again and said "Actually, I originally thought that the Major General and A Shuo had known each other not long ago, so he wouldn't mind too much if he stayed or stayed. But if I didn't say it, Master Xu would be full of complaints, and I'm afraid he would still be the same as he is today." He let it out, concealed it, and didn't know it clearly. Instead, it seemed that there was something shady, so it's better for me to explain it clearly. The major general and the junior general should know it well, but they don't have to be with them. Ashuo spoke."

Seeing her nodding her head in agreement, He Ding just put down the cup and spit out another earth-shattering sentence——

"It's really presumptuous to talk about this now, but if you want to explain it clearly, you still have to say something... The major general probably doesn't know that there was a marriage between Ah Shuo and Lingmei."
