Wei Qian was carried back to his residence, lying on the bed unconscious, his face was pale, and the pillow was soaked with sweat.
Even a strong man with a fifty-spine staff cannot withstand it, let alone a pampered young man like Wei Qian.
Wen Xian and Zhou Wenzhi sat aside and watched the two maids applying medicine to him.
The maid carefully applied a black ointment to Wei Qian's wound.
"Ouch! It hurts me to death!" Wei Qian woke up with a scream, his body arched like a shrimp due to pain.
Wen Xian stretched out his hand and patted his shoulder gently, "Mr. Wei, don't move around. Although this medicine is painful, it will not leave you with scars, and it can also treat internal injuries."
Wei Qian gritted his teeth and endured the pain, "Many... many thanks to Master Wen..."
Wen Xian shook his head, pretending to be regretful and said: "Master Wei, why are you so impatient today? The days are long, and Song Xin won't run away."
Zhou Wenzhi also said: "Yes, why don't you discuss it with me? He is very cunning, and even I will fall into his trap if I am not careful."
"I think today is... an opportunity... I hate him..." Wei Qian spoke incoherently because of his anger, and clenched his trembling fists tightly because of the pain coming from his back. His chest felt as heavy as a big stone. Not only did he fail to defeat Song Xin this time, but he also lost a chance to be a season judge. For Piyong's students, this was like a bolt from the blue.
Wen Xian said: "Wen Zhi is right. That boy Song Xin is very cunning. You were plotted by him this time."
Wei Qian raised his head and looked at Wen Xian with ferocious eyes, "Master Wen Xian, I want to kill him."
Wen showed a kind smile and said, "Mr. Wei, he will be your killer sooner or later, so why be in a hurry?"
"No, I can't bear it anymore!" Wei Qian shouted loudly, but the wound on his back was affected. His face was instantly distorted, like a hungry ghost crying in mourning.
Wen Xian and Zhou Wenzhi looked at each other, and both knew that the time was ripe.
"I'll pay any amount of money to find those thieves from Bai Bojun! Tie up Song Xin's family and kill them! I want to eat his flesh and drink his blood!"
Zhou Wenzhi advised again: "Brother Wei, why don't you discuss it with your father at this time?"
"No! If my father knows about it, he must have some scruples and not let me do it! If I don't let out this bad breath, I won't be able to survive for a day, no, an hour!" Wei Qian's face twisted and he roared.
"Okay, this matter will be left to me." Wen Xian stood up, said a few words of comfort, and then returned to Liu Mi's residence with Zhou Wenzhi.
The two walked into a room and saw Linghuhua standing motionless in the corner of the yard.
Zhou Wenzhi smiled and said: "Wen Xian, you have caused great harm to Wei Qian this time."
Wen Xian smiled contemptuously, "If his escape route was not cut off like this, how could he be determined to fight Song Xinyu to the death?" As he said this, he waved to Linghu Hua in the corner, and he instantly transformed into a straw braid. puppet.
Zhou Wenzhi said: "Your arrangement really surprised me. You pretended to be Linghu Hua and went to help Song Xin, but in fact you wanted to make him irrecoverable. How is Feng Bao doing?"
Wen Xian chuckled, shook his head and said, "Feng Bao? Who is he? Hehe, I have prepared something even more powerful for Song."
Zhou Wenzhi raised his eyebrows, "Oh? What happened?"
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
"What you don't know is that Feng Bao was killed not long ago."
Zhou Wenzhi was shocked, "Killed? Who did it?"
"They are a group of remnants of Guangfutang. They killed Feng Bao and occupied the stronghold. They took Feng Bao's remaining people as their followers."
"Guangfu Hall?" Zhou Wenzhi found it unbelievable that a cultivator sect would actually rob a mortal's cottage.
"What you don't know is that a few months ago, a major event occurred in the cultivator world. The madman Yuan suddenly attacked Guangfutang's lair and single-handedly killed dozens of Guangfutang elders, and his disciples suffered countless losses. In the end, the old monster from Guangfutang who was in seclusion came out to defeat him, and he almost killed the prison beast."
Zhou Wenzhi was quite surprised, "I've heard about Yu Mo and know that he is ruthless in killing people, but I didn't expect that he would dare to attack Guangfutang's lair. What's going on?"
"The news I found out is that the prisoner originally came from a wealthy family. One day, the bandits raised by Guangfutang suddenly attacked their home and took his whole family back. They said it was to help the old monster. Breaking through to the level of the great demon. The prison beast escaped from death and accidentally obtained a secret book of cultivation, and thus escaped with his life."
Zhou Wenzhi shook his head and said: "Then he came back for revenge. But you said he was almost killed, is he still alive?"
Wen Xian said: "There are rumors that he was rescued by a big demon. His current whereabouts are unknown. He should be hiding somewhere to recuperate. Since the battle, Guangfutang has been seriously injured and has fallen into a fifth-rate The sect. The sect also broke up, and the disciples fled. These people lived here and occupied Feng Bao’s mountain stronghold.”
Zhou Wenzhi nodded, "I see, I've been in Xudu for a long time and know nothing about the outside world."
Wen Xian smiled and said: "I'm going to take a trip tonight to make arrangements. You guys will start after the quarterly review."
Zhou Wenzhi nodded, "Well, each family will send people to observe at that time. You want to take this opportunity..."
Just at this moment, there was a knock on the door, and Liu Mi said, "Master, Wei Qian has sent the promised offering."
Wen Xian chuckled, "I didn't have to suffer the physical pain, and I didn't have to lose my qualifications for quarter review. I had to be smart. Now I know how to send it."
Zhou Wenzhi laughed scornfully, "Sure enough, he has no worries now. I have to say that this is a good strategy."
Wei Qian's people came over, bringing two boxes of gifts, gold and silver utensils, coral and jade. It was said that it was an offering to the Three Saints Sect and Wen Xian, but in reality it was to pay for Song Xin's head.
Wen Xian waved his hand and asked with a smile, "Haha, Mr. Wei, you are so polite. I am really grateful that I can get Mr. Wei's help. Go back and tell Mr. Wei that I will help him fulfill his wish."
Late that night, Wen Xian stood looking at the original Fengbao Village from a distance. It was built on the mountain, using large and small caves in the mountain as natural houses. There were passages in the middle, and the trees outside were covering the area. If you don’t know the path, People who walk in can easily get lost.
"Who are you!?" Someone on a wooden building saw Wen Xian and asked loudly.
"I'm Wen Xian, the deputy leader of the Sansheng Cult. I have an appointment with your village leader. Please open the door quickly."
A shout came from the wooden building, and the door slowly opened.
...
In the next few days, there were a lot less rumors in Piyong, because soon everyone would have to deal with the early autumn season review.
Within Piyong,
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
There is a strict examination system, and there will be quarterly evaluations every three months, in the late summer, autumn, and winter. There will be an annual review in the spring at the beginning of the year, and the emperor will personally appoint ministers to preside over the assessment. If you can stand out in the big exam, it will be much smoother to become an official in the court in the future.
Song Xin had tried to contact Yang Xi and others in the past few days, but they were all turned away. It was said that the young masters were busy preparing, and they all wanted to win the first place in the quarterly evaluation.
Xiao Yuzheng and You Jing are studying how to use corpse mandrills to refine puppets. Now the only people who can talk to Song Xin are Li Hansu and a few serving slaves.
On this day, Song Xin was studying in his room when he heard Li Hansu knocking on the door.
"Master, Master Cao is here."
Song Xin was startled. Cao Chong was back? He hurried out to greet him. As soon as he reached the door, Song Xin was stunned.
"A-niang, a-sister!?"
Unexpectedly, Cao Chong actually brought Song Xin's family to Piyong.
"Your family hasn't seen each other for a long time, so I've invited them all here this time. Let your family have a good reunion. By the way, the day of the quarterly review is coming, and they can also come in to watch."
Song Xin was so surprised that he bowed and saluted. "Thank you, sir!"
Cao Chong smiled and shook his head, "This was not my idea, it was Wen Zhi's suggestion."
"Brother Zhou?"
Cao Chong smiled and said: "Well, Wenzhi and Qianshou made you suffer a little because they failed to tell you Piyong's rules, so they thought of this way to apologize to you. I hope you don't blame them."
Ajaan also said: "Yes, we received the money and silk from Mr. Zhou and others, and he even sent someone to take care of us along the way. Brother, you better not blame Mr. Zhou."
Song Xin's mother also advised: "Yes, they were just negligent for a moment, and we can't be too stingy."
Ajiang said: "Master Zhou feels ashamed of you, so he didn't come with us. Adi, you'd better not blame him."
Hearing what his family and Cao Chong said, Song Xin nodded, "Thank you, sir. I didn't blame them. It was because I failed to inquire about this matter. If Brother Zhou feels that I have offended him, I will definitely come to Brother Wen Zhi someday to apologize." ." He bowed to Cao Chong three more times.
Cao Chong said with a smile: "There is no need to come to apologize, I will convey it to them. By the way, do you know anything about the quarter review?"
Seeing Song Xin shaking his head blankly, Cao Chong said: "This is the first time for you and me to participate in the quarterly review, so we only need to participate in one item."
Song Xin was startled, "Only one item?"
Cao Chong nodded, "Yes, there is only one item, but for the next quarterly review, one more item will be added."
After Cao Chong introduced it, Song Xin understood that students would select topics based on the year they came to Piyong, usually from subjects such as etiquette, music, archery, control, riding, calligraphy, skills, classics, history, etc., such as Song Xin's Those who enter Piyong in the first year of their kind only need to draw one. Every six months thereafter, another subject will be added. For example, Yang Di and others must participate in quarterly reviews for all subjects, which is a huge pressure.
After Cao Chong finished speaking, he said goodbye and left. Song Xin brought his mother and sister into the room and introduced Li Hansu to them. When the mother and daughter saw this cute little girl, they naturally fell in love with her. I also heard that she had suffered a lot for Song Xin, and I valued her even more.
Happy and peaceful days always pass quickly, and in a blink of an eye it’s the day of the quarter review.
