"So you had an arrangement. I thought you, Gu Suitang, had become a softie after being an official for a few years?"
Hong Jianglong smiled.
Gu Suitang snorted coldly: "Huh, when have I, Gu Suitang, been afraid?"
Hong Jianglong laughed: "Then I'll wait and see."
"That's right, don't worry, do it boldly, break the sky, I, Yongjing Ansi, will bear it for you. We can't bear it, and there is the emperor. This big Chu will never have the turn of those gangsters. !”
"I understand." Gu Suitang said.
"By the way, where is Xiaoman?" Hong Jianglong asked.
"Due to the appearance of the Demon Tomb, strange disasters occurred in several villages and towns around Luoshui. Xiaoman took people to deal with them." Gu Suitang replied.
"That's such a pity. Originally, I wanted to have a drink with you before returning to Tianyong, but now it seems that it can only be next time." Hong Jianglong said regretfully.
Gu Suitang broke the news and said, "I think you want to visit Luoshui Eighteen Boats!"
"Ahem..." Having been exposed, Hong Jianglong coughed twice and said righteously: "What nonsense are you talking about? Am I that kind of person? Lao Gu, your thoughts are too dirty."
Secretly, Hong Jianglong hurriedly sent a message to Gu Suitang: "Old Gu, you are a bastard. You expose others but don't expose their faults. Besides, there are so many juniors here. Where do you want me to put my face in the future?"
"You are still afraid of losing face. Why don't you think about being embarrassed in front of the juniors when you go to Huafang?"
Gu Suitang sneered: "And you bastard, every time you go to Luoshui's 18th Boat, you ask me and Xiaoman to advance the bill for you, can you show some dignity?"
"Ahem... When I get to your land, of course you have to show your kindness as landlords. This is the way to treat guests. Do I have to pay for it myself?"
Hong Jianglong was not confident and said: "Besides, you don't know how expensive things are in Tianyong, and my little salary is simply not enough."
Gu Suitang scolded: "It sounds like our salary is very large."
"Get out of here after you have a cup of tea. I don't have the money to treat you to a flower cruise this time."
"Don't be angry!" Hong Jianglong said with a smile: "If you don't want to go to the Huafang, why don't you give me a glass of wine at the head office? This tea is as light as water, what's so good about it?"
"There is no wine, only tea. If you like it or not, get out of here." Gu Suitang snorted coldly in his heart.
"How stingy!"
Hong Jianglong felt helpless, but his face remained calm. No one in the hall knew that there was a confrontation between the two about drinking, sex and wealth between the two, except for Ye Qing.
After Ye Qing practiced "The Great Self-Transformation Demon Sutra", his demonic thoughts became abundant and his perception greatly increased. He could easily grasp the changes in other people's moods and thoughts, so he overheard the conversation between the two.
He really didn't expect that Hong Jianglong and Gu Suitang, two upright people with thick eyebrows and big eyes, secretly like to go to the flower boat and drink flower wine. They really are not what they look like!
In this regard, Ye Qing just wanted to say one thing: You two poor guys deserve to go to the flower boat and drink flower wine!
However, from the conversation between the two, it can also be seen that Hong Jianglong has a good relationship with Gu Suitang and Fang Xiaoman.
"What, Lao Gu, there is one more thing to remind you, don't forget it."
Hong Jianglong said: "In one month's time, on June 6th, I will hold the Hidden Dragon Party held every three years in Tianyong. Don't forget to send someone to attend."
"The Hidden Dragon Meeting?" Ye Qing frowned and expressed that he had never heard of it.
Gu Suitang saw Ye Qing
With a look on his face, he explained: "It's nothing, it's just a group of people who have had enough to eat and have nothing to do, just fighting for fame and fortune."
"What does it mean to be full and have nothing to do? What does fighting for fame and wealth mean?"
Hong Jianglong said dissatisfied: "That's the Qianlong Meeting, a grand event held by the imperial court to encourage and recruit talents. At that time, leaders and talents from all sects and major families will gather in Tianyong. Show what you’ve learned.”
"If you perform outstandingly, you will not only become a blockbuster and become famous in the world, but you are also more likely to be used by the court and reach the sky in one step."
"If you don't want to join the imperial court, you can also be favored by some famous sects and aristocratic families. It is not impossible to become a disciple or a guest."
"It's not impossible to even become a student of my Great Chuji Academy."
"Jixia Academy?" Ye Qing was slightly startled. Jixia Academy was the academy founded by the great ancestor of Chu in the past. It brought together thousands of years of wisdom, the strengths of hundreds of schools, and the talents of the world to form the country of Chu. In Zuo Gengen, there have been many outstanding people and extraordinary talents.
In the first year of Taizong Jingrun, the emperor was young and the political power was unstable. There were treacherous ministers in power and trouble in the court. Outside, there were Yan and Wei tigers looking at him with the intention of invading the border. Bai Xinyue, a weak official, came out of Jixia to clean up the emperor's side internally and eliminate the treacherous traitors. , retreated the powerful enemy, consolidated the border, turned the tide when it fell, and saved the Chu country from fire and water. It was praised as having the universe in its belly and being the same through the ages.
In the third year of Emperor Gaozong's reign in Taikang, the three kingdoms of Yan, Wei, and Qi joined forces to invade the border. Millions of soldiers were unable to stop them. In March, half of the country was lost. At the time of the crisis, three hundred students from Jixia rushed to the border with armor and swords. Defeat thousands of enemies, travel thousands of miles, destroy enemy camps, drive away enemy bandits, use flesh and blood, with the strength of three hundred, to repel millions of enemies and protect the country from destruction. Later, he was named the Three Hundred Guardians of the Country by the Emperor of Chu.
In the fifth year of Xuanhua reign of Emperor Yingzong, heavy rains continued for many years. Rivers burst their banks and floods raged, causing people to be displaced and starving to death everywhere. The world was in chaos. Chen Changfeng, a commoner, came out of Jixia and proposed ten strategies to control water and change the river course. Build water conservancy projects to save the people from floods and fires, so that the people will not be threatened by floods for a long time.
During the reign of Jing'an, there was a master, Confucius, who wrote a book, a sword, and a spring and Autumn period. He established the mind for the heaven and the earth, established the destiny for the people, inherited the unique knowledge of the past saints, and created peace for all generations.
During the Anping period, there was a swordsman named Xu Changan. He talked about peace over a glass of wine. He could control the world with a three-foot sword. One man had one sword, and his sword energy spanned thousands of miles. He suppressed dragons and tigers in the north, and suppressed Zhenwu in the south. The swordsmanship in the world was eclipsed, and Jiazi had no lasting charm.
During the Chenghua period, there was a Qi practitioner named An Sanyuan, who wielded a sword and rode the wind, ate the wind and drank the dew, calculated rivers and lakes, planned temples, and determined the world.
…
The Four Kingdoms of Spring and Autumn have lasted for thousands of years, and the talents of Jixia are all over the Spring and Autumn Period. This is by no means an empty talk. Since the founding of Chu for thousands of years, the talents from Jixia Academy can be said to be all over the world, and not only limited to Chu, but also all over Yan, In the three kingdoms of Wei and Qi, some people live high in temples, some live far away in rivers and lakes, some have world-shaking knowledge, and some have talents and skills that will be passed down through the ages...
Over time, Jixia Academy has become a holy place in the hearts of all the literati and warriors in Dachu. Even the two Buddhist temples, the three Taoist sects and other millennium-old sects are not as good as it. Everyone is proud to join Jixia Academy, and even Even some disciples of famous sects and relatives of the emperor were no exception.
Although Jixia Academy teaches without distinction and accepts disciples regardless of family background, origin, civil and military skills, and is taught without distinction, it is very strict about the qualifications of its disciples. Those who are not extremely talented will not be accepted, and those who are not extremely beautiful will not be accepted. , those who are not talented people do not want it, even relatives of the emperor and high-ranking officials are no exception.
So, when I first heard about Ji
Ye Qing was shocked when he entered the academy.
"Don't listen to his deception. Jixia Academy is not that easy to enter. The Hidden Dragon Club has been held for so long, but not many people have been able to enter Jixia Academy." Gu Suitang said disdainfully.
"Few admissions doesn't mean there are none." Hong Jianglong pointed out: "I'm talking about Lao Gu, isn't it because you were not favored by Jixia Academy back then? As for why you have such deep resentment, you go around giving juniors Throwing cold water on it is ridiculous."
"I didn't, don't talk nonsense." Gu Suitang's face darkened and he denied.
"Don't deny it. How can you hide your thoughts from me?" Hong Jianglong laughed and said, "Just because you can't do it doesn't mean that others can't do it. I think Wu Huan will have a chance."
"Your Excellency, you have given me too much praise. I am still far behind?"
Ye Qing was telling the truth. He still knew how much he weighed.
Although he is not bad, there are so many talented people in the world, and he is not so arrogant that he can stand up to everyone in the world.
"Sir, what does the word Qianlong mean?"
Gu Suitang said: "The meaning of Qianlong has two levels: one refers to young talents like you; the other refers to those people who have great ambitions and unique skills, but are not famous."
"It is said that the hidden dragon makes no sound in the abyss, but once the clouds will seize the supreme, this is what it means."
"That's it. Thank you for clarifying my doubts, sir." Ye Qing thanked him with his hands.
"That's it. Get out of here now. I'm not as free as you. I still have a lot of official business to deal with?" Seeing that Hong Jianglong was still going to chatter, Gu Suitang immediately chased him away.
"Really, I can't even drink tea!"
Hong Jianglong said dissatisfied: "If it weren't for your age, I would have beaten you until you called me daddy."
Seeing that Gu Suitang's face turned dark, Hong Jianglong stopped and said, "Okay, I'll leave now. Don't forget the Qianlong meeting in a month!"
After saying that, Hong Jianglong stood up and walked out.
"Sir, walk slowly." Gu Suitang could ignore Hong Jianglong, but Ye Qing could not and hurriedly raised his hands in salute.
"Master Gu, Brother Ye, take your leave."
"Sir, Brother Ye, take your leave!"
Luo Zhan, Sui Yan and others also bid farewell to Gu Suitang and Ye Qing.
"Wu Huan, see you in a month. When we get to Tianyong, I'll treat you to a drink." After that, Gao Ning'an also greeted Ye Qing.
"Thank you, Brother Gao, I'll remember it." Ye Qing smiled.
"Brother Ye, farewell." Chu Qingge glanced at Ye Qing calmly: "I'll wait for you in Tianyong!"
"Uh... I haven't decided yet whether I want to go to Tianyong or not?" Ye Qing touched his nose, and when he came to his senses, Chu Qingge had already left.
"Sir, if there is nothing important, I will go back to the inspection office first." After Hong Jianglong and others left, Ye Qing also said goodbye to Gu Suitang and prepared to leave.
"Well, you should go back and rest first!" Gu Suitang nodded.
But just when Ye Qing walked to the door, Gu Suitang suddenly said: "Do you want to join the Hidden Dragon Meeting?"
Ye Qing was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "Let's see then!"
"You should participate." Gu Suitang said solemnly: "Jixia Academy, you should also compete."
"I will seriously consider it, thank you, Chief." Ye Qing smiled softly, turned and left.
Gu Suitang looked at the young man in the sun. His posture was upright and his steps were firm, just like himself when he was young.
So young,
And so high-spirited.
