Jiang Fan's expression changed. This Meng Qi looked honest and honest, and he was indeed a very thoughtful person.
First of all, if you admit that you are weaker than others, you can take it naturally and not offend others. Secondly, if the first and second people compete, it will inevitably be difficult for the students behind to get money, and he, the third person, takes the lead, so that The classmates behind me have nothing to worry about. Third, it seems to be a modest retreat, but in fact it is very pragmatic to retreat in order to gain advantageous conditions first and increase the probability of success.
I didn't pay much attention to this man named Meng Qi before, but now I see that among the five hundred people in the academy, there is really no shortage of outstanding people.
Soon, the ten people each made their choice, and Jiang Fan said: "Then, the assessment has officially begun. Go ahead and set a good example for the younger juniors and girls behind you."
Meng Chanjuan also encouraged with a smile: "When you enter Lishan Mountain, you will have the opportunity to become an extraordinary person in the world, but whether you are pure gold or jade or a stubborn stone depends on your performance this time. Work hard, and my sister will go to Lishan Mountain in the future. It’s up to you, I’ll take credit for you when the time comes.”
Yao Jia looked excited: "Are you coming to Lishan?"
Meng Chanjuan chuckled and nodded: "But that's not the case right now. My sister also has things to do, so it's not as easy as you."
Yao Jia said excitedly: "We will definitely become famous. Waiting for my sister in Lishan Mountain, we will never embarrass her!"
At this moment, Yuan Chao, the youngest, suddenly looked over and said: "When the time comes, can I call you mistress?"
Everyone was stunned, and Mengchanjuan's white neck instantly turned pink.
"You little hozen! What nonsense are you talking about!"
Yuan Chao scratched his head and chuckled: "You ask us to call you sister, but in fact, everyone treats you like a mother..."
Baili Changfeng quickly pulled him behind: "Sister, what he means is that we have always regarded you and the mountain chief as our reborn parents..."
Jiang Fan was greatly amused and quickly kicked out these guys who were different from other people who had been trained in Lishan.
Far away, I heard Yao Jia downstairs complaining that Yuan Chao couldn't speak, which led to him being kicked away. He still wanted to talk to the eldest sister and the mountain chief...
However, Yuan Chao seemed to disagree and said loudly that if he had the ability to build the city quickly, he might not be worse than them.
The ten people walked away talking and laughing.
Jiang Fan looked at Meng Chanjuan awkwardly: "It's good to be young, so energetic..."
Meng Chanjuan pulled off her veil and looked at him with an unkind expression: "You mean I'm older?"
She is already twenty-four years old. She is definitely a young girl in her time, but in this age where people get married at the age of fourteen, she is indeed not young.
However, Mr. Jiang, who has lived in two generations, is very aware of the dangers involved. He turned his head and said hurriedly: "You are big, big, big, wise, big, big..." He glanced at it: "... big mind."
Meng Chanjuan's face turned red at that time. Jiang Fan knew that her eyes and mouth were not cooperating well, but he did not stop the momentum and said another sentence: "Men like big ones..."
Meng Chanjuan stamped her foot fiercely: "If the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked, you can't teach it well!"
Jiang Fan said: "I taught them very well. Look at how capable they are... each one."
Meng Chanjuan snorted: "Master, do you think too highly of them? Although these children are carefully selected, they have only been in Lishan for three years. To be on their own...is it a little too early?"
Jiang Fan smiled: "It's getting late. I left the mountain earlier than they did."
Meng Chanjuan said: "Who in the world can compare with the Dharma Throne, I think it is still a bit sloppy."
Jiang Fan smiled slightly: "Don't underestimate Lishan Academy. Of course, it doesn't mean that everyone can do it. They are the best among the five hundred people. They are known as the ten outstanding students of the academy. They have completed the task in three years that normal people can achieve in ten years." Talented people with academic skills. As for the others, many are not good enough. The youngest is just fourteen years old, which is very early."
Meng Chanjuan nodded: "I don't know about others. This Baili Changfeng is most likely a descendant of Baili Xi. It's not surprising that he is outstanding."
Jiang Fan was stunned: "That Baili Xi from King Hui's era?"
Meng Chanjuan nodded: "Exactly."
Jiang Fan thought, this Bailixi is a famous person. He was originally a senior official of the Yu State during the Eighteenth King Period. After the Jin State destroyed the Yu State, Bailixi became a prisoner and his soldiers were sent to the Qin State as dowry slaves.
But this man had great ambitions and did not want to be a slave. He found an opportunity and fled to Chu. Unfortunately, as a runaway slave, he had no chance to gain the attention of the Chu State. Later, on the recommendation of Princess Hui, he was bought back by King Hui in exchange for five deer skins, and eventually became a senior official in the Qin State.
During his time in power, he made all his plans and actions with merit. He assisted King Hui in advocating the promotion of culture and education, implemented the policy of benevolence to the people, cultivated state affairs internally, and sought hegemony externally. He expanded the territory thousands of miles away, attacked Xirong, and unified the northwest region. Qin made great contributions to the prosperity of the country and established a generation of famous ministers.
But how could the descendants become orphans?
Faced with Jiang Fan's question, Meng Chanjuan also shook her head: "After King Hui passed away, King Wen succeeded to the throne. Bailixi, who was just over fifty and in his prime, resigned inexplicably and disappeared ever since."
"Then, why do you guess that Baili Changfeng may be a descendant of Baili Xi?"
Meng Chanjuan said: "When I met him, this boy was fourteen years old and was being hunted by bandits. Although he was young, he was full of outlandish ideas. He fled for thirty miles and killed twelve bandits. If he hadn't been the last I accidentally stepped on Orion's trap, and I was afraid that he would kill all the bandits. At the critical moment, my men rescued him. I found that this man was polite and had the demeanor of a gentleman who passed down poems and books. He was also good at swordsmanship. It is the swordsmanship that Bailixi became famous for, the gentleman’s sword.”
Jiang Fan pondered for a moment: "Didn't he explain his origins?"
Mengchanjuan said: "I have said that I call my father Baili Yao. This swordsmanship was taught to me by my father when he was young. Later, his parents died in an accident, and Baili Changfeng wandered around the world at the age of ten. As for his ancestor, he I have never seen him, my parents have avoided mentioning him, and I don’t know his name.”
Jiang Fan said: "Have you checked Baili Yao?"
"Of course, it's a pity that we know that there was indeed a son in Baili River. He was sent away to practice in this place since he was born. No one has ever seen him."
Jiang Fan nodded: "According to this, it is really possible. Bailixi's famous prime minister, but his whereabouts are unknown in the end, is really regrettable. If Baili Changfeng is really his successor, he can be considered a successor."
Meng Chanjuan smiled slightly: "I have checked each of these people in detail. They are all orphans under the age of fifteen who have been taken in by me. There are not many hidden dangers."
Jiang Fan said: "It doesn't matter, everyone has a past. I believe that in Lishan, they will be able to get a new life. You see, except for Baili Changfeng, the other nine are also very good."
Meng Chanjuan said: "Fate gave them a miserable beginning, but they were lucky enough to meet you. It's really a blessing in disguise."
Jiang Fan smiled: "Do you want to go to Lishan even more?"
Meng Chanjuan was leisurely fascinated: "Lishan is indeed a paradise of freedom. Seeing their wanton publicity, Chanjuan can't sit still..."
