"What's wrong, Uncle Shiyue?"
Ci Song didn't understand why Shi Yue, who had been kind-hearted a second ago, suddenly turned against her.
"Master, I..."
Before Shi Yue could finish explaining, Duanmu Qingcang suddenly said: "The bright moon in the stone, the green scenery, I remembered that the three gentlemen who resigned from Zigong Academy together were Shi Yue, Lu Yong, and Feng Guang."
"Duanmu Qingcang has met Mr. Shi Yue." Duanmu Qingcang saluted Shi Yue.
"Duanmu Qingcang? Are you the son of Duanmu Weili?"
"Exactly."
After hearing Duanmu Qingcang's answer, Shi Yue looked at Duanmu Qingcang carefully again, but this time his expression softened a lot.
"I didn't expect Qingcang to meet sir here. My father often mentioned you to me and said that you are his most respected senior brother." Duanmu Qingcang said to Shi Yue respectfully.
"What's going on? Why do you think you're getting married now?"
Ci Song and Zhang Wuyan both looked at a loss. Apparently they didn't know about the past between Duanmu Qing and Shi Yue, especially Ci Song. He had no idea that Uncle Shi Yue, who guarded the library at home, was once Zigong. A gentleman from the academy, and also the senior brother of the dean of Zigong Academy?
Thinking of this, Ci Song suddenly thought that Uncle Shi Yue once said that he seemed to be a great Confucian scholar, which could make him a teacher in the four major academies. Mr. Yi, who taught him the Four Books and Five Classics, was a great Confucian scholar.
"It's all in the past. Now I'm just a slave in the general's mansion looking after the library. Don't mention it anymore, sir."
Shi Yue waved her hand lightly, then turned to look at Ci Song, and said seriously: "Master, you have now become a disciple of Yan Sheng Academy. There are some things I still want to tell you in advance."
"Uncle Shiyue, please speak."
"Master once said that anyone who enters the General's Mansion from the three courtyards will be killed without mercy." Shi Yue said slowly.
Ci Song, Duanmu Qingcang and Zhang Wuyan were not fools. They naturally understood the meaning of Shi Yue's words. These three colleges must be referring to other than Yan Sheng Academy, including Zilu Academy, Zigong Academy, and Zeng Sheng Academy. Among the three colleges, as for this one, it can only be the Confucius and Saints Academy.
"Then why did Uncle Feng Guang and Uncle Lu Yong let Senior Brother Duanmu in?"
Ci Song wondered, if the matter was really as serious as Shi Yue said, why did the guards let them in?
Hearing this, Shi Yue smiled lightly and pointed at Duanmu Qingcang, "If the young master brought someone else today instead of Duanmu Qingcang, I guess Lao Feng and Lao Lu would have killed them long ago."
"The reason why I was able to walk into the General's Mansion safely is because my father was good friends with Mr. Feng and Mr. Lu, and he had a close personal relationship with Uncle Shiyue. They were all old friends of Uncle Ci back then. I said Not bad, Uncle Shiyue."
Duanmu Qingcang replied neither humble nor arrogantly.
Under the sunlight, Shi Yue's ancient and smooth face showed a trace of reminiscence. "Yes, the days when your father, I, Lu Yong, Feng Guang, and the four of us were at Confucius and Sheng Academy are indeed nostalgic. But now we have parted ways long ago, and he is already the dean of Zigong Academy, which is famous all over the world. , and I’m just a slave guarding the general’s mansion.”
Ci Song only felt a huge headache. He had no idea that Uncle Shiyue in his original memory, who had always been idle and enjoying himself, and made jokes from time to time, would actually have such a past. And looking at Uncle Shiyue's appearance, it seems that he was indeed an extraordinary person back then.
"Damn it, it turns out that even the former Ci Song didn't know these people in his family very well?" Ci Song complained in his heart.
"Okay, people like to miss something when they get old. Young master, the master and Mr. Gongsun are in the study room now. I have to pack the books."
After saying that, Shi Yue turned around and packed up the books on the ground, ignoring the three of them.
Duanmu Qingcang saw this and saluted Shi Yue's back. Although Zhang Wuyan didn't know who the person in front of him was, he could tell from Duanmu Qingcang's words that this person and his teacher were once close friends, so he followed Duanmu Qing Cang saluted Shi Yue together.
"let's go."
Although Ci Song was also very curious, he did not ask directly. After all, if he asked Duanmu Qingcang, he might not know much, but if he asked the wrong grandpa, he would definitely know.
Soon, he led the two of them to his study room. Before Ci Song could speak, a powerful voice came out in the air.
"Master, I didn't expect you to bring a friend today."
A sharp sword light cut through the sky, like a meteor in the night sky, instantly illuminating the surrounding area. With the coming of the sword light, Gongsun Cuo, dressed in a slender black robe, appeared in front of Ci and Song.
A head full of green silk and white hair, like stars, and an old but tall figure like a mountain peak, calm and dignified, giving people an indescribable sense of oppression.
"Grandpa Wrong, are you practicing your sword?"
Ci Song did not expect that Gongsun Cuo would have such a strong momentum today, and he was even shocked.
Gongsun Cuo smiled slightly, and there was a soft light in his eyes, as if it was the kindness of an elder to a younger generation. "Practice your sword and stretch your muscles. I'm going to have a competition with your teacher in a while. I can't be at a disadvantage."
"Master, are these two children from Zigong Academy your new friends?"
Gongsun Cuo looked at Zhang Wuyan and Duanmu Qingcang, his eyes like sharp swords, as if he could see through the two of them at a glance.
"Grandpa Wrong, this is Duanmu Qingcang from Zigong Academy, and this is Zhang Wuyan."
Ci Song pointed at Duanmu Qingcang and Zhang Wuyan and said.
"I've met Mr. Gongsun."
Duanmu Qingcang and Zhang Wuyan saluted. They were sweating profusely at this time, especially Duanmu Qingcang. He didn't expect that Gongsun Cuo would appear at Ci Song's house, and he even called Ci Song "young master". Could it be that this And other characters also became servants of the general's mansion?
"Duanmu Qingcang? Are you Wei Li's child?" Gongsun Cuo asked.
"Exactly." Duanmu Qingcang nodded.
"I didn't expect that the stupid kid back then was so old. Time flies so fast." Gongsun Cuo smiled and didn't pay too much attention.
"The master is in the room, you just go find him. I will go and practice the sword. Master, you can do as you please."
After Gongsun Cuo finished speaking, his figure had disappeared from the spot, leaving only a bright sword light streaking across the sky.
"Let's go."
Ci Song interrupted Duanmu Qingcang and Zhang Wuyan's shock.
Soon, the three of them came to the study room. The door was closed tightly. Ci Song stepped forward and knocked lightly on the door.
"Come in." A strong voice came from the room.
Ci Song pushed open the door and entered, followed closely by Duanmu Qingcang and Zhang Wuyan. When the three people entered the room, they found that there was no one else in the room. There was only a middle-aged man sitting in the room, dressed in brocade clothes and mink fur, with an extraordinary bearing.
"Father, the child is back."
