Master Zhu took out the letter Du Zhoumu wrote to him: "My unlucky senior brother said that after your Mingzhou poem, he somehow caught his eye."
"He thought it was Lu Tongpan who was looking for someone to deal with you, so he intercepted Lu Tongpan's letter. He didn't expect that it was the Left Prime Minister who ordered him to deal with you!"
Zhou Dagu's heart skipped a beat.
He also didn't expect that the left prime minister didn't care about his face at all, and actually secretly attacked him directly.
Isn't the Left Prime Minister afraid that the heroic deeds of Second Young Master Zhao that others spread about him are false when he takes action against this living evidence?
"Alas!" Zhou Dagu sighed helplessly.
I originally thought that Ah San's rhetoric would last for a year or two. By then, he would have been a candidate, so even if he took action, he wouldn't go too far. But now it seems that Ah San has failed.
You can’t rely on anyone but yourself!
Master Zhu then spoke: "My unlucky senior brother intends to let you enter the government school in advance. The state pastor's office is in Qingxue Mansion. With him under his care, you will be much safer!"
"However, I'm worried that what he wants is not as simple as what he said in the letter. He may have some other plans for you, but I can't guess what he wants to do!"
Zhou Dagu asked a question: "Teacher, what do you think I should do?"
"The Zuo Xiang is different from others. Once he attacks a small person like you, he will not stop. Although I don't agree with that unfortunate senior brother, I now feel that what he said makes sense. If you go to Qingqing Xue Mansion is indeed much safer than staying in Cai County and Zhoujia Village!"
Master Zhu sighed helplessly: "At least, in Qingxue Mansion, within the Mansion School, they will no longer use force or use dirty tricks against you."
"What happened in Kyoto back then is still vivid in my mind. There is a group of third-grade warriors under the Prime Minister Zuo. If you use them, no one in Cai County can protect you!"
"However, in Qingxue Mansion, they can only attack with the name of Confucianism. I am not worried about this as a teacher. With your sharp tongue, it is difficult to lose against the Confucians!"
Zhou Dagu nodded and cupped his hands: "Then I'll go!"
Master Zhu stuffed the letter into his arms: "I knew that based on your character, you would choose this way!"
"Although I don't know what you experienced in Liangjie Mountain, I understand that your experience in Liangjie Mountain touched you greatly!" Master Zhu felt sorry for this child who lost his father.
"From the moment you came back and I saw you waking up, I knew that you were different from the Zhou Dagu before!"
Zhou Dagu was frightened again, but he didn't show it.
Master Zhu looked back at him: "I know you have ambitions and want to achieve greater fame!"
"However, I'm warning you, master!"
"Don't get too close to my unfortunate senior brother. Do you know why I was demoted from Kyoto in the first place?"
Zhou Dagu shook his head: "I've never heard you mention it!"
For the first time, he saw an angry expression on Master Zhu's face: "It's not because of my damn senior brother. He did something wrong and didn't admit it. I was forced to take the blame for him."
"But later on, he became a good person and was promoted to a foreign minister, and I became the county school principal!"
Zhou Dagu felt the anger in his heart and did not dare to look up at the Master.
Master Zhu picked up the hot tea from the table and took a sip, his voice became hoarse.
"Anyway, remember what I said and don't believe him easily. I've been classmates with him for three years, and he didn't show any mercy when he tried to trick me."
"Although the man named Du has a righteous heart, at a critical moment, when faced with you and righteousness, he will definitely choose righteousness!"
"When I was in Kyoto, my mentor once said that Senior Brother Du wants to become a person like Yu Shaobao!"
Zhou Dagu was a little surprised: "What's wrong with Yu Shaobao?"
Master Zhu shook his head: "After the great victory in peace, Yu Shaobao was defeated by the Yi clan. Fortunately, the queen spared his youngest son so that his bloodline could be preserved!"
Zhou Dagu sighed silently. If he meets a hero, it is best not to get intimate with him, because the person closest to the hero is the first person to be sacrificed when something big happens.
He handed over his hand and said, "Students please obey your teacher's teachings!"
Master Zhu looked at him: "We are here, Qingxue Mansion must be careful in what we say and do. That place is not as good as our Cai County."
"Here, Magistrate Guo is protecting you, and you can take care of you as a teacher. The students in Qingxue Mansion are so arrogant, and they look down on the students from Cai County. I'm not worried about their cultural background and their arguments with you. It's insulting."
"I'm afraid they are playing tricks and it's hard for you to deal with them!"
"Literature does not come first. Literati have looked down upon each other since ancient times!"
"When you go out, remember to be careful and don't argue with others. If you encounter a difficult problem that cannot be solved, you can write to your teacher. My poetry is indeed not as good as yours, but I have more experience and can give you some suggestions!"
"If it is, and it really can't be solved, take the name of the teacher and go find the person named Du. He owes me a favor and wants to use you as a pawn. He will not ignore you."
Master Zhu spoke softly, but every word struck Zhou Dagu's heart.
He was speechless and could only bow his head: "Thank you, Master, the student knows!"
"Master!" Zhou Dagu raised his head and looked at Master Zhu: "I will go to Kyoto! I will go to Kyoto and tell others after high school that I am your student Zhu Master!"
This is not the first time he has promised others that he will go to Kyoto.
Zhou Dagu promised Zhou Wu that he would go to Kyoto to meet his second uncle and his younger brother who was adopted into his second uncle's family.
He promised Ah San to go back to Kyoto to see him.
This time, he promised Master Zhu that he would go to Kyoto and tell others that he was a disciple of Master Zhu.
Tell his master that Mr. Zhu did not embarrass him.
Tell those who laughed at Master Zhu that Mr. Zhu is back in another way!
Master Zhu understood. He nodded tremblingly and put his hand on Zhou Dagu's head: "Okay! Okay! Okay! Go ahead!"
"Remember, my master is here in the city of Cai County, waiting for you. Regardless of honor or disgrace, if you encounter trouble or disaster, you can return to Cai County."
"Go back to Cai County, and I can at least save your life as a teacher!"
For the first time, Zhou Dagu imitated the ancients and kowtowed to the Master.
Heaven and earth are dear to you.
Master Zhu deserves his respect.
The wind outside Cai County is getting stronger.
Zhou Dagu went to the city.
He wanted to arrange the banquet tonight, and also prepare the things he would take with him when he left Cai County the day after.
A young man, seeking to leave home.
But I don’t know that the hardest thing is not to leave my hometown, but to come back.
Hometown is easy to leave but hard to return to!
Master Zhu sat in the pavilion, watching him enter the county town, and sighed: "Why do these fights always keep going on? Senior brother, what do you want to do?"
"Do you want to use my disciple as a chess piece to fight with Zuo Xiang again?"
"Alas!" After the sigh, there was a long silence.
In the distance, a fierce horse ran towards the gate of Caixian County. Passing by the pavilion, a man in armor dismounted and entered the pavilion.
"Meet the adults!"
Grains of sand fell from his armor, and the man raised his head. It was Captain Zhang who was interrogating Zhou Dagu in the county government office that day.
Yumen Pass is the first pass for a big win.
The captain of Yumen Pass is no small official. He is much bigger than Magistrate Guo.
Nowadays, it is really rare for someone to kneel down and worship the head of a school in Cai County.
Master Zhu showed no expression as he knelt down and bowed to him, and said in a low voice: "How?"
"My subordinate personally led people along the traces of the one hundred and ten people to the Blood Dragon Valley, and found two tombstones and a dilapidated marching tent outside the Blood Dragon Valley!"
"I sent people into the valley and found that all the blood pythons in the Blood Dragon Valley have disappeared, and the aura of the Demon King has also disappeared!"
Master Zhu was walking back and forth in the pavilion, and suddenly stood up: "Where is the Second Young Master Zhao!"
"He's dead too, his body was found by his subordinates!"
"Is there any other demonic aura?"
"Nothing found!"
Master Zhu raised his head and looked towards the county seat of Cai County, and said in a voice that only two people could hear: "I understand, it must be the Second Young Master Zhao who led people into the Blood Serpent Valley by mistake and died together with the Blood Serpent."
"Zhou Da Gu is a weak scholar with a weak body. He took a slow step into the valley and was not killed by the blood python!"
"The blood python absorbed the blood energy of hundreds of people and summoned the blood dragon. The demon king's breath alerted the saint, and only then was the poem arranged by the saint to subdue the country came out."
"So, the Confucian Temple sensed the poems to suppress the country, but it didn't know who wrote the poems to suppress the country! These are all covered by saints!"
"The little Zhou Dagu got the chance from the saint and was able to escape from the Two Realms Mountains, and he also needed the help of the saint to enlighten his poems!"
Master Zhu lowered his head and stared at Captain Zhang: "That's the whole story of what happened at Liangjie Mountain, right?"
Beads of sweat fell on Captain Zhang's face, and he nodded in response: "The adults must have guessed this!"
"Then report it!"
Master Zhu looked at Colonel Zhang who was about to retreat, and suddenly said: "One more thing, check the recent movements of Daying's grain dealers. Is there anyone secretly collecting grains?"
"yes!"
Zhang Xiaowei faced Master Zhu and retreated. He got on his horse and left as if running away.
Master Zhu sat on the chair and picked up the newly made wolf hair pen on the table. The wolf hair on it came from Liangjie Mountain.
He shook his head helplessly, picked up a cup of tea and drank it in one gulp: "Good disciple, the teacher can only help you so far, you have to walk the rest of the way by yourself!"
