Qinzhou Academy.
Xiao Yuan was dressed in casual clothes and had his hair tied up with a hosta. Dong Shu was followed by him. Ye Cheng, who received the news, also came with a large number of guards as soon as possible.
In this regard, Xiao Yuan did not say much, but said as he walked: "A general order is issued throughout the country to the Wuwei Mansion, schools, colleges, and schools around the country, and there must be no gambling houses, brothels, etc. within two hundred steps of the schools, colleges, and schools."
"Yes!" Ye Cheng immediately accepted the order.
While talking, the group also came to the gate. The old plaque had been taken off. At Dong Shu's request, Xiao Yuan took up his pen and wrote the four characters "First Academy".
Xiao Yuan's calligraphy is not very good, but he has been king for many years, and there is a kingly aura in his writing.
Dong Shu asked Xiao Yuan to inspect the school in the court hall, and I am afraid that this is what he meant. With the king's personal inscription, the title of the first school is naturally confirmed.
Looking at the words "First Academy", he was even more excited and said: "The words "The King" are so majestic that I am heartbroken."
"Stop flattering me." Xiao Yuan smiled and said, "Go in and take a look."
"Yes, please, Your Majesty."
This school is a symbol of Xiao Yuan's creation of education, so it covers a huge area. As soon as he entered, not far away, he saw a huge stone lying in front of him, which had been polished.
On the boulder, there is a line of large characters carved horizontally: Heaven moves vigorously, and a gentleman strives to constantly strive for self-improvement.
Seeing Xiao Yuan stop for a moment, Dong Shu also said quickly: "Heaven moves vigorously, and a gentleman strives to constantly strive for self-improvement. This is exactly the motto of the academy, and it was also inscribed by the king."
This was Xiao Yuan's inscription as an encouragement when Qinzhou Academy was first built. Today, it has become a must-stop sight for every new student.
Next, while walking around, he asked Dong Shu some questions about the school, including the distribution of various colleges and the students' basic necessities, etc.
When he returned to the palace, he also went to Zhong Duoduo's place.
"Husband." When the latter saw him, he jumped into his arms with joy.
Zhong Duoduo is still the same Zhong Duoduo.
"Still as naughty." Xiao Yuan stroked her hair gently with a doting look on his face.
As if he was remembering something, he added: "By the way, didn't Koi say she was looking for you? Why didn't she see her?"
"She just went to the Tai Hospital." Zhong Duoduo said, her beautiful eyes moved, she broke away from his arms and said, "By the way, husband, I want to go out to the market with Koi tomorrow."
"It's okay to go out to play, but you must bring a guard." Xiao Yuan looked serious.
"Ah?" Zhong Duoduo was unhappy: "We have to bring guards again. Liang Yuan always sends people to follow us, so how can we go shopping?"
Xiao Yuan's face was serious: "You must take it with you, otherwise you are not allowed to go out."
"Humph." She puffed out her red lips, full of grievances.
The days passed like this day by day. More than half a month later, in view of the fact that most of the soldiers were demoted to immigrate to guard the border, and in view of the population and household registration issues mentioned by Zheng Pei, the governor of Beiling County, in the memorial, Xiao Yuan was also ready to go there to take a look. .
After finishing all the matters at hand and arranging his itinerary, he set off from Qinzhou.
Because Liang Yuan was supervising the execution of the task, this time, Xiao Yuan brought Xu Hu and Yang Zhao, plus several followers disguised as Tsing Yi Guards.
A few days later, a group of less than ten people arrived near Beiling.
This is an inn next to the official road. It is the only one within dozens of miles. It is specially used for people who are on the road to rest.
Xiao Yuan and others were really tired after a long journey, so they decided to take a rest here.
After getting off the horse, Xu Hu started to shout: "Boy, feed the horse well."
"Dele, sir, please come in." The waiter came over immediately and took the reins.
This inn is not very big, but after entering, there are seven or eight tables inside. Business is surprisingly good today, and it is almost overcrowded.
There was only one table left in the corner, so Xiao Yuan invited a few people to sit down and ordered some food and drinks at will.
After doing this, Yang Zhao began to lower his voice and said: "Sir, there are many masters here."
While talking, he and Xu Hu looked even more wary.
"Oh?" Xiao Yuan's heart moved, and he subconsciously glanced at the situation in the inn. Although the other seven tables of guests were eating and chatting, almost everyone had weapons on their tables.
Most of these people were dressed in smart clothes and had a strong Jianghu aura. After a brief glance, Xiao Yuan also frowned secretly.
Before the food and drinks they ordered were served, a man in Tsing Yi quickly entered the inn and walked straight to the table on the left. He held a sharp sword in his hand, clasped his fists and bent towards a middle-aged man and said, "Brother, the head master."
After saying hello, he began to whisper in his ear.
Looking at the other party's attire, Yang Zhao explained in a low voice: "Master, this is the Nanhua Sword Sect."
"Nanhua Sword Sect?" Xiao Yuan raised an eyebrow.
"Yes." Yang Zhao continued: "There are also Dongling Gang and Wuji Sect. It's strange how they come from thousands of miles away to gather here."
Even if Yang Zhao is placed in the martial arts world, he is still a first-rate master. Like Liang Yuan, he also understands everything in the martial arts world.
Xiao Yuan's doubts were quickly explained, because under the whisper of the man in green, someone at the other table suddenly sneered: "Humph, you still make it so mysterious. Who here doesn't know that the Flame Grass will soon The results are about to come, otherwise, why would everyone have to travel so far."
As soon as he finished speaking, the man in green stopped whispering and sat down at the middle-aged man's signal. The middle-aged man looked over and said with a smile: "Master Tan, you have sent so many masters here. Beiling, it seems that this trip is inevitable?"
"Then it depends on who of you has the ability." The sect leader named Tan sneered.
On Yang Zhao's side, his expression changed slightly, and he explained to Xiao Yuan in a low voice: "Sir, this flame grass is the most precious treasure in the martial arts world. It is said that it not only helps to increase one's skill, but can also detoxify hundreds of poisons. It only occurs once every sixty years." Guo, I didn’t expect it to appear in Beiling.”
"So that's it." Xiao Yuan suddenly realized that, needless to say, in order to compete for the flame grass, Beiling may not only have martial arts people in this inn.
As soon as the explanation was finished, someone from other tables looked over, stared at Xiao Yuan and others, and whispered.
Someone raised his head slightly and said, "Did you see that the people sitting at that table don't look like us martial arts people?"
"Would you like to try the details..."
At this point, someone stood up and slowly touched the sword on the table.
This situation was naturally noticed by Xiao Yuan and the others, but they pretended not to see it and sat there calmly.
Everyone in the inn seemed to want to find out the details of Xiao Yuan and the others, so the scene changed a little strangely. All eyes looked here, and the silence was terrifying.
The man had already walked nearby, and quietly pressed his right hand to the hilt of the sword. He glanced at Xiao Yuan and the others and asked coldly: "I wonder what kind of gods they are."
"Does it have anything to do with you?" Yang Zhao looked up.
