Perhaps it was the end of the year, and there were reports of robbers cutting paths and hurting people in the peaceful Chaxi. The students of Xihua Academy seemed to be used to such things.Although Ning County is located in a mountainous area and the transportation is not so developed, there are many pottery kilns in the county. Ceramics are shipped from here to Quanzhou Port, and merchants come from all over the place, all of them carrying considerable property.

It is these businessmen who allow local troublemakers and rogues to find "shortcuts" to make a fortune.They came in groups of three or four, intercepting passing businessmen to rob money, and when their foreheads got hot, they obviously forgot that Zhaozhi County has always been unkind to robbers.

One day, three arresters were sent from the county town, carrying a portrait of the robber, into the village for interrogation, and searched in the mountains and forests, but to no avail.

The arrester left the village and did not go back to the county directly, but came to Xihua Academy to see Mr. Sanxi.Mr. Sanxi met them and allowed them to live temporarily. The academy has vacant houses, and the kitchen will provide them with food.

Capturing servants is a hard job, and the status of the servants is also humble, but most of the people fear them, thinking that they are armed and not easy to provoke.The scholars of Xihua Academy disdain the captives. In the eyes of the scholars, they are just a few dusty, bearded and dirty warriors.

It is rare for the arresters from the county office to come to the academy. The scholars were disdainful and a little scared, and out of curiosity, they all went to the well to watch the arresters from a distance, washing their hands and faces. .

Zhao Yousheng also went to watch. He looked at the three arresters one by one, and his eyes fell on a big man with a beard and a thick-ridged dagger at his waist.All the other captives carried knives, but he was the only one with a sword.

Zhao Yousheng knew him. This man was called Zhang Yi. In his previous life, he was a subordinate of Father Zhao and died fighting with Father Zhao in Fuzhou.This man is proficient in swords, bows and crossbows, his strength is amazing, and he can block ten with one.

Zhang Yi was keen, and realized that he was being scrutinized by a scholar. He glared at Zhao Youcheng, but then he didn't care about his trousers and didn't put down his trousers.

It is clear that the insight is extraordinary, those eyes are like falcons, where there are no eyes but no pearls.

"How did the arrester recognize me?" Zhao Yousheng had never met Zhang Yi during those days at the county office. Zhang Yi was sent by Lao Zhao to Jinxi with other arresters.

Zhang Yi said loudly: "Mr. Lang is extraordinary in appearance, similar to Duke Ming."

The other two arresters hurried over to salute, respectful and courteous. In fact, it was Lao Zhao's order that they stayed in Xihua Academy. A thief from Chaxi wanted to be arrested, and his son was studying here, which made him worry.

Zhao Yousheng asked them to excuse them, and asked what kind of person they were arresting.Zhang Yi showed the portrait of the robber to Zhao Yousheng and other students, and said that if they ran into it in the mountains, they had to run away immediately. This gangster was carrying a steel knife. He had hacked and wounded two people in Ning County and robbed hundreds of coins. The method is cruel, and now he is fleeing to Chaxi.

The portrait of the robber was passed around among the students, and everyone was a little surprised. Today, what surprised them was that Zhao Yousheng was actually the son of the county magistrate.

The students of Xihua Academy have different identities. Mr. Sanxi has no distinctions in teaching. Zhao Yousheng was very low-key when he came, and he never stated his identity. He only said that he came from Quancheng.The classmates had some guesses about him from his attire, but they didn't guess that he was the eldest son.

The arrester lived in Xihua Academy, and continued to hunt for the robbers. The robbers were cunning, but they never found him again. The arrester guessed that he might have fled elsewhere.The two arresters returned to the county seat to report their orders, and Zhang Yi, who had the highest force value, remained behind to be responsible for the safety of the teachers and students of Xihua Academy, which was exactly what Zhao Yousheng wanted.

Zhang Yi has a habit. Every day before dawn, he goes to the woodland behind the house to hear chickens dancing. He holds a heavy dagger in his hand, which looks like the most terrifying sharp weapon in the world. His swordsmanship is sharp and sharp, Wow.

Zhao Yousheng showed up on time every morning and watched for three days in a row. He didn't interfere, just watched quietly.Zhang Yi is a person who walks the rivers and lakes, and he has a sense of loyalty in the world. He can tell that Zhao Langjun wants to learn swords very much.

Zhang Yi wiped off the sweat from his forehead, raised his sword, walked towards Zhao Yousheng, and asked straightforwardly, "Your Majesty, do you want to learn how to use a sword?"

"Does Chief Zhang dare to teach?" Zhao Yousheng asked back.

Without saying a word, Zhang Yi held the sword in his hand backwards and handed it to Zhao Youcheng. Zhao Youcheng caught it steadily and wiped the sword lightly. His face was reflected on the blade, coldly.

Zhao Yousheng clenched the hilt of the sword tightly, weighed his hands, suddenly his eyes were cold, and he swung the sword to chop, the morning wind pierced through the forest, and the sword clang clang.

Zhang Yi lived in Xihua Academy for [-] days, before dawn every day, he took his sword to the lonely forest, and Zhao Yousheng was already waiting there.According to the rules, without Lao Zhao's order, Zhang Yi could not teach Zhao Yousheng swordsmanship, but as a man of the rivers and lakes, he could not abide by the rules.

The days of Xihua Academy were spent in no hurry, the Spring Festival was approaching, the students who were far away from home returned home early, and there were only three or four people left in the dormitory.Yu Entai asked the servant who came to pick him up to pack his bags and prepare to go home tomorrow. He had nothing to do, so he invited Zhao Yousheng to go to Tian's house for a tooth sacrifice.

Zhao Yousheng didn't have much interest in the Tooth Fighting Festival, but he was happy to go for a walk in the fields and cottages.

As usual, the two went to the village and passed by the field. They saw two strong servants pushing and beating an old man on the ridge of the field. The man who instigated them was a rich man. There was also a crying and begging peasant girl. There were no other villagers in the field. .Listening to their argument, it turned out that it was the old man who fertilized the crops and accidentally spilled the fertilizer on the passing rich man.He was originally a wealthy family traveling in a glamorous way, but when he suddenly drenched himself in feces and urine, he became furious, disregarding the begging of the old man and his daughter, and asked the servant to beat the old man to vent his anger.

"Let's go, let's call the villagers." Yu Entai pulled Zhao Yousheng's sleeve, he was going to rescue the soldiers, the two evil servants seemed to be difficult to deal with, a hero to save the beauty?It is not suitable for scholars who have no strength to restrain their chickens.

Zhao Yousheng didn't move, and Yu Entai had to stay with him. At this time, three or five farmers came over with hoes and sickles in the distance. They obviously heard the sound of dispute and came to help the old man.Seeing that the situation was not good, the son of the rich family called his servants and hurriedly wanted to leave, but he didn't want to be hugged by the peasant girl's thigh suddenly, crying: You hurt my father and don't leave, let the villagers judge!

The rich man kicked and kicked the peasant girl angrily. The woman let out a cry of pain and fell limp on the ground. The old man wanted to fight them desperately. Who was his opponent?

The three masters and servants wanted to run away in a hurry, but they didn't want Zhao Youcheng to cut off their retreat. With a thick branch he picked up at random, he swung down the rich man who was running in the front, and beat up an evil servant two or three times. He looked back, Yu Entai had already pushed another evil servant to the ground, grabbed the man's arm, and shouted: "Brother Zhao, shout before you start, you will scare me to death!"

Zhao Yousheng turned around and asked, "Brother Yu, didn't I hurt you?"

Yu Entai sat on the evil servant, patted the dust off the hem of his clothes, and said triumphantly, "How can that be."

Zhao Yousheng stepped on the rich man's back, not allowing him to get up, and calmly listened to his scolding: "Stupid donkey! Smelly scholar, I told you to mind your own business! Do you know who my father is?"

Brother Yu couldn't help laughing, pointed at Zhao Youcheng, and scolded: "Bold and unreasonable! Do you know who his father is?"

Both the old man and the peasant girl were injured, and the angry villagers surrounded the rich man and his two evil servants, and they thanked Zhao Yousheng and Yu Entai for their chivalry.

Seeing this scene, Yu Entai knew that there was no place to eat meat in the village today, and the villagers were all watching with righteous indignation, so he had to ask the rich family to pay for some soup and medicine.

On the way back, Yu Entai plucked a half-blooming camellia, and casually stuck it in his hair bun. He said leisurely, "Brother Zhao and the servant Zhang are studying martial arts hard, do they have any enemies?"

He also asked casually, they are all sixteen or seventeen-year-old scholars, how could they have any grudges with others.

Yu Entai is Zhao Yousheng's roommate, and the two get along day and night, and Zhao Yousheng can't hide from him the fact that he learned martial arts from Zhang Tuo, and he knows it all.What I saw today was that You Sheng swung a branch like a sword in his hand, and the moves he used were ruthless and precise, and it was not in vain.

"No." Zhao Yousheng's enemies are actually more than one family.

Zhao Yousheng plucked a camellia flower in full bloom, twisted it in his hand, and smiled lightly.He lowered his head and smelled the fragrance. The scent of camellia in Chaxi was as light as water, as if his state of mind had not fluctuated at this time.

On the second day Zhao Yousheng taught the rich family, he left Xihua Academy and returned to the county.In the spring of next year, he will still be studying at Xihua Academy. He has very little luggage for this trip, and Qian Liuyi will carry it.

Back at the county office, Zhao Yousheng washed up and went to see his father. Father Zhao was rarely at leisure in the study, and when he saw his son come in, he motioned for him to sit down.Zhao Yousheng saw an open letter on his father's desk, and it was obvious that the handwriting belonged to Mr. Sanxi, probably the two old men often exchanged letters on weekdays.

Old Zhao folded the letter, put it aside, raised his head and said, "You Sheng, Mr. Sanxi praises you for being quick in matters and careful in words, and has a lot of good words for you."

Zhao Yousheng replied: "It is Mr. who teaches well."

Father Zhao looked at his radiant and well-mannered son, and was quite satisfied, thanks to the fact that he didn't know that his son taught him a lesson again in Chaxi.Father Zhao seemed to remember something, he rummaged on the desk, took out an unopened letter from under a book, and handed it to his son.Zhao Yousheng took it, and looked down, the handwriting on the envelope was very familiar to him.

This is a letter from Chen Yu.

At dusk, the wind rustled through the corridor, and Zhao Yousheng sat in a shelter from the wind, reading the long letter in his hand.The letter was very thick, with several pages open.Chen Yu carefully wrote stroke by stroke on the letter paper, detailing his life in Quanzhou City during this period, he attended the ship banquet at Shanhailou, and met a friend named Zheng Yuanya.His yearning for Zhao Yousheng overflowed on paper, and he never forgot to ask him when he would be able to return to Quancheng for the New Year.

The day when this letter was signed was [-] days before it was delivered from Quanzhou City to Ning County. Presumably, from the day the letter was sent, Chen Yu had been anxiously waiting for a reply at home.

Father Zhao has always disapproved of the close relationship between Zhao Yousheng and Chen Yu, the son of a sea merchant, but he did not confiscate the letter.

As the Spring Festival is approaching, Zhao's father asked Qian Wu to go to Quanzhou City to pick up his wife and young son to Ning County together, and their family will celebrate the New Year in Ning County.Knowing the news already, Zhao Yousheng handed over the written reply to Qian Wu, and then handed it to Chen Yu through Zhao's mother.

In the reply, Zhao Yousheng briefly stated his life in Ning County during this period, Mr. Sanxi, Xihua Academy, and Brother Yu, but he did not tell how bad the food at Xihua Academy was, or how he learned swords from Zhang Yi.

Writing until he couldn't go back to Quancheng for the New Year, Zhao Yousheng's words were involuntarily full of emotion, and his words were gentle and intimate. When Chen Yu read this letter, he would not be too sad.

Soon Qian Wu went to Quancheng to escort Zhao's mother and Zhao Youqing to Ning County. Zhao Yousheng asked Zhao's mother about Xin, and Zhao's mother said that before leaving Quancheng, Xin sent Wu Chu to Chen's house.

Zhao's mother said: "Xiaoyu waits for your reply every day, and has sent someone to ask several times. My son has time to write a few more letters to him."

The author has something to say: The son of a rich family: cheating on paper, you can't hold back a chicken if you agree.
