Suddenly it was mid-October, and there was only half a month left before the final assessment.
The weather is getting cooler day by day, and the branches and leaves of the dense woods outside the training camp are gradually falling off, leaving only dry notes.
Autumn is gone and winter is coming.
In the early morning of this day, the door of the training camp was closed as usual.
Two horses came up the official road in front of the door. One of the knights on horseback is in his thirties and the other is in his early twenties. They are both fierce and handsome. They are dressed as military attaches and wear dark cloaks, but their clothes are different from those of the prosecutors.
The two came to the gate of the camp, and the door opened immediately. Dong Xingyu, the left-behind instructor, put on the official uniform of an instructor and came out. He said politely: "But Li Lang is coming? I have long admired my name. I am here to teach the camp instructor Dong Cheng. I've been waiting here for a long time. If you miss me from afar, I apologize in person."
At this time, the two of them had just dismounted, and she stepped forward and saluted the older man.
The elder immediately took a step back, looked at the other person, and said, "This is General Li Yijian and General Li Lang."
The young man smiled slightly and nodded: "I am Li Yijian, and this is Captain Huang Ping."
Xingyu Sword Dong Cheng was startled, and glanced at General Li Lang. He saw that he was in his early twenties, with a slender figure, bright eyes, and a generous and high-spirited temperament. He could be regarded as a talented person, and said: "So Li Lang I am ashamed to be so young and promising. Please come in."
Although she was a little surprised, it only lasted for a moment and then returned to normal. The other two were also a little surprised. General Lang's position is not low, he is already in the fifth rank, and he is a serious military officer in the army.
The military is no different than the Inspection Department, where there are many positions and opportunities, and you will naturally be promoted as you gain strength. In the army, merit and qualifications are important. Even if you have the strength of a swordsman, you will not be promoted without merit, and the soldiers will not obey you. Therefore, not only was Li Yijian a swordsman at a young age, but he had also been fighting on the battlefield for several years and had made outstanding achievements and was promoted to the rank of general, at least the only one in the Yunzhou Governor's Mansion.
However, Li Yijian had been stationed on the front line with the army. He had just been transferred back to the Central Army as the Commander-in-Chief, and he had not had much interaction with the District Procuratorate. Otherwise, Dong Cheng's "long admired name" might not have been all polite words.
Dong Xingyu led the two of them into the living room dedicated to entertaining foreign guests, served tea personally, and said: "Excuse me, please wait a moment. Tang Jiaoyu is presiding over the mock exam today, and it will take some time to come back. You two have a tea break first. Take a break, or go somewhere for a walk first, I’ll take you there.”
When Huang Ping heard this, he frowned slightly and looked displeased.
Li Yijian kept smiling and said: "It doesn't matter, it turns out that we informed you too late. We only informed you of your camp's itinerary yesterday, so naturally there are things you can't move around. Mock exams usually take several days, so there is no reason to give up halfway. …”
Dong Cheng said: "It is these words that make General Lang sensible..."
Li Yijian then said: "But isn't it Dong Jiaoyu who calls the shots here? You and I can just talk, so why wait for Tang Jiaoyu?"
Dong Cheng paused, swallowed the word "reason", and said: "Tang Jiaoyu is the candidate for our battalion to lead the team to take the exam this time. Aren't you two here to discuss the joint exam? If you just follow me "Say, let me convey it later. What should I do if there is any ambiguity in the middle? Why don't you wait a moment and wait for everyone to explain it clearly. The mock test should be over in another hour."
Li Yijian looked calm and stopped talking.
Huang Ping said in a rough voice: "Your Land Inspection Department is really interesting. You didn't even discuss the content of the exam. You don't even know what will be tested this year, so you mobilized everyone to organize a mock exam? How much money will be wasted at one time without saying whether it is useful or not? Is there any? Money burned?"
Li Yijian waited for him to finish speaking before he apologized: "I'm rude, so don't be surprised if I teach you a lesson."
Dong Cheng gradually stopped smiling and said: "In terms of funds, the District Inspection Department will not be extravagant and wasteful, even if it is stretched thin. This mock exam was scheduled in advance. It is to comprehensively review last year's graduation exam. Let’s experience the rhythm, it’s by no means aimless. The exam only lasts three days, which is half the length of last year.”
Li Yijian said: "I heard that it was the home court of Jing'an Division last year? The scene was quite big at that time. They even took the team to the border of Lingzhou and tested back and forth on the edge of crossing the border. There were two large paddocks prepared. I will wait for the day before yesterday When I went to the Jing'an Department for exchanges, they gave a very detailed lecture."
After all, I still say that they were extravagant compared to last year. Dong Jiaoyu frowned more and more and said: "We are just simulating, it doesn't cost much, and we can't afford anything in the paddock. We are taking exams in the classroom now. If you can promise not to disturb the students, then come with me to have a look." "
The two people opposite were very puzzled that they were taking the exam in the classroom. Dong Jiaoyu said no more, stood up and said, "Follow me."
At that moment, Dong Cheng took the two of them all the way to... the building next door.
The main buildings of the training camp are all built together, and there is no grand main building. The main teaching building has only three floors and is barely adequate. The mock exam is held in a classroom on the first floor.
Before Dong Jiaoyu entered the building, he said again: "Please keep quiet, please."
After entering the door and turning left, the three of them came to the back door of the classroom. Dong Cheng pushed the door upward, and the upper part of the back door opened, revealing a transparent window, and the situation in the classroom was immediately visible.
Li Yijian thought to himself: You repeatedly tell us to be quiet, but you open such a big window. Do you think the students inside are all blind?
However, when he took a look, he suddenly realized that it was almost as if they were not all blind people.
Because the people inside were actually... all lying down.
The tables and chairs in the room were packed away, folded together, and piled at the back of the classroom. There is a bench in the middle of the huge room. Each young man slept on a stool with a stone-like pillow as his head, either on his side or on his back, in different sleeping positions, but they all fell into a deep sleep.
There are only two people in the whole classroom who are different, one sitting and one standing. The one sitting there, who was sixteen or seventeen years old, was sitting on the podium, holding his chin in one hand, leaning on a jade pillow, and actually fell asleep.
The man standing was in his twenties, standing in the corner with his arms and hands, and his eyes were scanning the whole place. From his perspective, he can observe every part of the classroom without any blind spots, and he looks very calm and gentle.
"This person has murderous intent." Li Yijian said slowly, "Is this Tang Jiaoyu?"
Just as his reputation in the army has not spread to the District Procuratorate at all, it is impossible for the talents of the District Procuratorate to become famous in front of the army. He didn't even know Tang Jiaoyu's name, but he nodded slightly when he saw this man - so Murderous, not an ordinary person. It is not in vain to teach at such a young age.
Dong Jiaoyu said: "No, that is the teaching assistant. The one sitting on the podium is the teaching assistant."
The two officers were stunned at the same time. Then they looked at the young man sitting on the podium. He had a particularly young and handsome appearance. He was clearly of the same age as the students lying there. He sat there with his arms propped up and fell asleep quietly, as if he was secretly taking a nap in class. The students have no momentum at all, how can they resemble teachings?
However, Dong Cheng obviously had no need to trick others. This must be the Tang Jiaoyu.
Huang Ping muttered: "Okay, it's true that the officials of the District Procuratorate do whatever they want, and it's true that they are great for being close to the king..." He said the last half of the sentence very softly, obviously knowing that no one should hear it.
Li Yijian paused and said, "What are they doing sleeping?"
Dong Cheng said: "What else can we do while sleeping? Just dream."
At this moment, Tang Zhao opened his eyes on the stage. His eyes were clear and not very bright. On the contrary, they looked ordinary at first glance, but there were bright lights inside.
The moment he opened his eyes, there seemed to be a wake-up call. All the students in the audience got up one after another, some sat up calmly, and some almost fell to the ground. The noise was endless, and the class suddenly felt like a bathhouse.
"Oh, it's just a little bit close. I'm just a little bit close and I'll pass."
"You're still a little behind? You're still behind me. I'm a little behind."
"Don't talk nonsense. The teachings have long said that an almost-impairment means you are not as good at it as usual. In fact, it is much worse. People like me have never been far behind. I am as high as the sky above you..."
"Ah, my waist is pinched. The wood is too hard. It seems I can't sleep on the bench."
"If you can't get used to sleeping, why not stop working as a errand? Why not sleep on a bed at home? There will still be days when you can sleep on branches and grass."
For a while, the students were talking a lot. In addition to complaining, they were more excited and tired, as if they had just returned home after a long training session.
"Papa", Tang Zhao clapped his hands, the discussion stopped immediately, and all the students sat down on their benches uprightly.
"The army is quite rigorous in running the army." Li Yijian commented in his heart, then suddenly he was startled and blurted out: "What is that?"
Tang Zhao pushed away the jade pillow on the podium, revealing a... turtle.
A turtle suddenly appeared on the podium, which seemed out of place, but this turtle was indeed unusual, with two small black eyes that revealed spirituality.
Tang Zhao: "Okay, congratulations everyone. The mock test is over!"
There were loud cheers and whistles.
After the students cheered for a moment, Tang Zhao smiled and said: "It's just a mock test. It's not time to get rid of it yet. Hey, don't tear up the book. Let it live for another half month."
In the midst of laughter, Tang Zhao added: "If you're fine, you can go back and rest now. If you have something to do, do what you should do. The total results will be out in two days. The controversial one just now is left, let's review it on the spot. .Okay, disband.”
He said to disperse, but the students did not move.
Tang Zhao asked puzzledly: "Why don't you go to rest? It's all controversial? Why don't I remember that there was such a big controversy?"
Qu Huan smiled and said: "Jiaoyu, didn't you say you want to review it?"
Tang Zhao said: "The review is not in a hurry, right? Aren't you tired?"
All the students shouted in unison: "I'm not tired!"
Qin Yongcheng said loudly: "Isn't it what you said about 'seizing the day and night'?"
Tang Zhao laughed and looked up.
Li Yijian couldn't help but follow his gaze outside and found a small ornament hanging on the wall. It looked a bit like a sundial, but it didn't use sunlight. He guessed that it must be for timekeeping, with a circle divided into twelve scales. , corresponds exactly to the twelve hours.
Tang Zhao checked the time and said: "Okay, now... there is still a little time. Let's do a little review. I won't mention the overall situation, and I won't enter the dreamland, otherwise it will consume energy again. Let’s review someone in public. Who is willing to provide materials? Show your heroism in front of everyone? "
Everyone raised their hands, obviously very enthusiastic about participating. Tang Zhao casually nodded: "Then Luo Nian. Bring up your dream plate."
