Chapter 70: No more pretending, I’ll show my cards
“Xin Zhuo, please receive the Autumn Palace Pavilion word post.”
A short sentence, but it was like it had a strange magic, the four experts from the four great clans at the bottom of the mountain immediately stopped and watched.
Immediately afterward, everyone in all directions looked over.
The three words “Autumn Palace Pavilion” might not be special when pronounced, but it represented the most mysterious Confucian academy and the strongest force in Fufeng Prefecture and even Bazhou.
The founder, Mr. Dongfang, a dragon’s head is not seen, the world only heard his name, do not see his person, he seems to represent some kind of glory rather than the real existence of flesh and blood.
That’s right! Is the glory, the last twenty years, from the “Autumn Palace Pavilion” of the court officials, the army in the senior generals have not less than dozens of, simply known as the cradle of the career.
But the threshold of its discipleship is extremely strange, there is no rule to follow, mediocre qualifications such as Su Zhifu’s son Su Zefeng, high talent such as the Yuan family Yuan You Rong, are among the students, the contrast is great, other people are squeezing their heads can not get in. And it is said that the students of the Autumn Palace Pavilion, always remain in the number of one hundred, more than one are not accepted!
Now the Autumn Palace Pavilion to send word post is why? And the recipient is Xin Zhuo?
Xin Zhuo similarly looked over, only to see the person wearing a white Confucian student robes, body posture, hair flying between, from a piece of tree banyan swept over, in the blink of an eye to the top of the mountain.
It was a girl!
Eighteen or nineteen years old, features delicate as a picture, face with a bit of baby fat, a pair of beautiful eyes clean as a stream, right and left to survey the crowd, then locked Xin Zhuo, a slight smile, very distant, but can not be said to be rude, stretching out his white hands to hand over a golden envelope: “Autumn Palace Pavilion Bright Mind Section three years of student Bai Xuanqi, by the order of the qin yu liu husband, given to you the word post! ”
The voice was soft, without the emotional fluctuations that should be there, as if this was not some siege or bloody killing field, but just an ordinary meeting together.
Countless gazes stared at the girl and Xin Zhuo from up and down the mountain, filled with question marks.
Is the Autumn Palace Pavilion really going to accept a vicious mountain bandit as a member of its staff?
The faces of Yuan You Rong on the side, Su Zefeng at the bottom of the mountain, and Murong Yun Xi, a prospective student of the Autumn Palace Pavilion, were especially brilliant.
“Many thanks!”
Xin Zhuo was surprised to receive the envelope, feeling …… at a loss for words.
The girl called Bai Xuanqi had already drifted away, seemingly unwilling to stay for more than half a moment.
“Big Boss!” Murong Huo moved closer, his eyes glowing, “Absolute! Autumn Palace Pavilion, ah, eccentric and mysterious, no one dares to mess with it.”
Cui Ying’er’s few people also walked over, their eyes filled with a hopeful light.
Xin Zhuo curiously opened the envelope, empty inside, and then look at the cover, “Autumn Palace Pavilion” three gold stamping cursive, such as axe and knife carving, as if this envelope and three words are enough to explain everything, without other words.
“What does it mean?” He still looked at Murong Huo.
Murong Hugh nervously rubbed his hands together and said, “The invitation to join the cabinet as a student post ah! And this is a treatment only for talented people, it is said that the Autumn Palace Pavilion has only taken the initiative to post twice in decades, those two people came from poor backgrounds, and now one is a general of the Northern Frontier Border Army, and one is the Secretary of the Da Lisi in the capital.”
Entering the Pavilion as a student?
This is really too out of Xin Zhuo’s expectations, these days he is always on guard against the Water Moon Nunnery and the Autumn Palace Pavilion, for fear that the other side suddenly rise up, do their own these mountain bandits, did not think that has been silent, suddenly have to accept themselves as students ……
The reason?
Is my time and the government, the four big things, operation is very smooth, tickled to their high point, or see my Wang Yue Jing?
Seeing the lookout moon well think can not, this kind of hanging general existence, even the life expectancy of the sacrificial spirit is calculated, bull to explode, will not be easily found, this point he is very confident.
Maybe his own martial arts advancement is too fast, the gong method is too weird, attracted their attention?
Thinking for a moment, no matter, the bureau is alive again, take a step first.
He faced everyone under the mountain, raised the envelope and said coldly: “Originally I only wanted to get along with you guys as a mountain bandit, I didn’t expect to be rewarded with endless chasing and killing, well, no more pretending, showdown!
In fact, I and the Autumn Palace Pavilion of teachers are close friends, especially the Qin Yuru teacher, we can be said to be an acquaintance at first sight, life and death, often with the same couch to share a pillow, talk about the world’s major events, chatting to the thick of it …….”
The black crowd under the mountain was bewildered. Yuan You Rong on the side and Su Zefeng at the bottom of the mountain are shocked beyond words, what is he talking about? Sharing a couch with …… Farmer Qin Yuliu? Will Farmer Qin, that cold woman, really agree? Is this true or false?
Xin Zhuo’s words still continue: “Not only is the Qin Fu Zi, the pavilion master has also repeatedly said that he wants to accept me as a disciple, but I have politely refused, I think that the first thing to do is to have principles, I am not talented, but I also want to through their own efforts, to make a cause ……
Well, the words are over, all of you if you still want to continue, do not give me the face of the Autumn Palace Pavilion, then please go ahead!”
The mountain was silent.
Would the Autumn Palace Pavilion really think so highly of Xin Zhuo?
If this is a lie, then what is the explanation for the invitation letter that was only given to that talented student?
“Feng, does the Autumn Palace Court really have a delicate relationship with Xin Zhuo?” Su Miaojin suddenly understood why Xin Zhuo dared to be so bold.
Su Zefeng’s face was tangled and hesitant: “No way? I haven’t heard of it, how could it be? A mere vermin, the husbandmen are crazy, aren’t they?”
“When how?”
The people of the four great families in front of them, their faces were hard to see, looking at each other, seeking answers.
No one could give an answer, just a word post, would be enough to make Xin Zhuo invincible!
At this critical moment of stalemate, a distant horse galloped here, the person on the horse all armor, look panicked, to the near place, raised a black token, roared: “Our army was defeated, the people in front of us, the faces of the people are difficult to see the extreme.
“Our army was defeated, retreating to the capital city, Xiongfeng Mountain rebels together with three thousand barbarians from the East Barbarians Zuyang are approaching, the governor and generals have ordered everyone to return to the city immediately to assist in the defense of the city, and to close the city gates at a quarter past shen time tomorrow!”
After saying this, he beat his horse and returned.
The people on the mountain first froze for a moment, then roared up and rushed down the mountain in a chaotic manner, while those further away immediately turned around and ran wildly.
If the extermination of the Xin Thief King is for the sake of relief and salvation, then the great defeat of the border army and the invasion of the Eastern Barbarians is the pain of the body and the disaster of extermination, weighing the two, it is clear which is more important and which is less important.
A group of experts from the four great families who were just trying to attack also immediately made a trade-off, giving up Xin Zhuo and withdrawing.
“Xin Zhuo, I’ll make you look good when we reach the Autumn Palace Pavilion!”
Su Zefeng rushed up the mountain with a hiss, not caring if Xin Zhuo could hear him, roaring on to get over it, then leaving with his guards flanking Su Miaojin.
Xin Zhuo and Murong Huo, Cui Ying’er group of people are standing together, looking at the tidal wave retreating crowd, can not help but feel a lot of emotions, life is impermanent ah, one moment still thinking of running away, the next moment the crisis is all lifted.
Right at this moment, Yuan You Rong, Chen Guiyan, Murong Lei and Song Dong Xi several people forced to stand up, face solemn, arching his hand as a salute: “Xin Da Dangjia, no matter whether you are a mountain bandit or not, or the Autumn Palace Pavilion students or not, after all you are a citizen of the Great Zhou, now the invasion of a foreign country and the rebels attacked the city, when the weight of the matter, allow us to go back to defend the city!”
Xin Zhuo did not hesitate for a second and immediately retreated to the side: “Be my guest!”
Murong Lei’s group of people nodded slightly and helped each other straight to the bottom of the mountain.
“What about …… us?” Cui Ying’er looked at Xin Zhuo in surprise.
Murong Huo also said, “Still running down the back mountain river?”
Xin Zhuo stretched a lazy waist: “What nonsense, there is the Autumn Palace Pavilion word post protection, the Prefecture is busy fighting the war, the Bureau live, it’s time to go home!”
