Summer nights are not long.
Li Chenan, Wang Zhenghaoxuan and others were sitting by the bonfire, and unknowingly the sky was getting slightly brighter.
Ning Chuchu naturally did not wait for the moment to reach the clouds.
But...she also didn't sleep all night.
Instead of waiting for Li Chenan, he and Xiao Baozi studied the book "Stealing Fragrance and Stealing Jade, Thin Water and Longevity".
The girl accidentally became addicted to it, and before she knew it, it was already dawn.
Ning Chuchu's face turned red.
I don’t feel tired at all from a sleepless night, but I’m still a little excited:
"Sister Xiao, are the things written in this secret book... true?"
Xiao Baozi has been replaced, so she calmly said: "Of course it's true!"
"However, the experience in the book is shallow, but the real feelings are much deeper than what is stated in the book!"
"...How deep?"
Xiao Baozi pondered for a moment, thought about it carefully, and extended his thumb and index finger to make a gesture:
"...roughly five inches deep!"
"That's not too deep!"
Xiao Baozi's slender eyes immediately looked at Ning Chuchu, "How deep do you think it can be?"
Ning Chuchu pursed her lips and smiled timidly, "I, I thought it was so serious that it killed me!"
Xiao Baozi stood up, "Five inches can make you feel like you're going to die!"
"What does sister mean by this?"
“It’s indescribable, you need to experience it yourself!”
"Oh...it's dawn."
"Don't worry, the days are long."
"……good!"
Ning Chuchu looked forward to it.
…
…
A rooster crows.
In the backyard of Youzhou Academy, Zeng Pengcheng raised his head drunkenly and looked at Bai Xiaotian, who was sitting opposite and was still in good spirits.
"Xiaobai..."
"You and I are the same age, but I'm only three months and three days older than you!"
"Look, after just one night of drinking, I am no longer good...but you, you are still as charming as ever!"
"Why……"
Zeng Pengcheng sighed and sat up straight, "Time makes people grow old!"
"Especially in these days that seem like years!"
"I heard that the regent came to Bei Mo Dao, that he went to Yanjing City, and that he also passed through Death Valley and burned the Second Eagle of the Deserted Man completely with fire!"
"I am greatly relieved!"
"This is the courage and courage that our Ningguo Regent should have!"
"I heard that the regent made a triumphant return and said that he arrived in Youzhou City yesterday afternoon."
He stood up unsteadily, smoothed his sleeves, and suddenly felt much better:
"I won't accompany you anymore. After drinking your wine and eating your food... I can only say thank you!"
"It's a lie to say that one day I will have money to repay your gift. I don't have much time left in this life, and I don't have the life of wealth. I have been poor all my life... but I feel at ease when I die."
Bai Xiaotian raised his head and looked at Zeng Pengcheng.
Naturally, the two of them were not real classmates, but some of the words the old master said last night made Bai Xiaotian look at him with admiration!
As a man of martial arts, he has no feelings about family and country.
But in Old Master Zeng’s words, there was only a feeling of family and country!
He was obviously appointed by the imperial court to be in charge of education in Youzhou, but he was penniless.
The imperial court was already in arrears with salary arrears for the entire Beimodeo officials, and it got even worse when they arrived in Youzhou. This master, who was marginalized by Youzhou officialdom, had not received a penny of monthly salary for five years!
Because he did not collude with the officials in Youzhou, even the slightly respectable people in Youzhou City did not dare to ask him to teach in a private school.
This old master has been able to survive all these years because he has reclaimed a little wasteland for farming behind the hut!
Now he is older.
It is difficult for him to do farming work anymore.
There was only one abandoned child he adopted, that is, his book boy Xiao Zeng, who studied with him and took care of the little bit of Susukada. The two really depended on each other!
Even so, this old master is still thinking about Ning Guo's future!
He actually hoped that the regent could ascend the throne as emperor as soon as possible and clean up the officialdom of Youzhou!
His biggest hope is that the regent can allocate a sum of money to repair the dilapidated teaching buildings of Youzhou Academy, send more teachers, and allow Youzhou students to return to the academy!
What he likes most is not the wine and meat!
He said that what he liked most was the sound of reading in the academy.
It was to see the lively figures of those young people.
He said that only when young people are strong can Ning Guo be strong!
Bai Xiaotian only blamed himself for reading too little this night.
He couldn't get a word in at all and could only listen.
He listened carefully all night like a student.
It was Old Master Zeng who taught him a lesson that touched his soul!
"Brother Zeng, where are you going?"
"I'm going to see the regent!"
Bai Xiaotian also stood up and pondered for three breaths: "But I heard that the regent entered Youzhou City, so he ordered Magistrate Tian to book all the inns in Youzhou City."
"To be honest, brother, I came here because I had nowhere to stay."
"In addition, I also heard that the regent liked dogs, and ordered Magistrate Tian to send more than a hundred detectives to catch all the dogs in Youzhou City..."
Zeng Pengcheng turned and looked at Bai Xiaotian, and Bai Xiaotian said again:
"Last night I saw that my brother has the world in mind, and I admire him very much. But...as a classmate, I still have something to say to my brother."
Zeng Pengcheng's sparse eyebrows frowned slightly: "You say it!"
"I have traveled to many places and met many different kinds of people."
"This guy, sometimes it's better to be famous than to meet him."
"The regent has a great reputation, but after all, he is only nearly twenty years old."
"After all, it is the nature of a young man."
"The country is very heavy, the rivers and lakes are deep, and the intrigues in the temples are more brutal than in the rivers and lakes!"
"Not to mention whether he can secure this position, but these two things he did in Youzhou... In my opinion, does this look like a wise king?"
Zeng Pengcheng was silent.
He thought for a moment, "In this case, I have to go see him!"
"What's the use of seeing it?"
Zeng Pengcheng stroked his long beard, straightened his waist, and looked up at the blue sky:
"As a minister of the Ning Kingdom, when you see this ridiculous thing, you should speak out and remonstrate with it!"
"...But what if he doesn't like it?"
"If he doesn't like it, what if he chops off my head?"
"At my age, what do I have to fear about death?"
"But Ningguo... Ningguo has suffered from the chaos caused by the Ji thieves for twenty years. Ningguo cannot suffer any more destruction!"
"The people of Ning State are already overwhelmed, and there are still wild people in the north of Ning State who are eyeing them!"
"The regent...he is the future hope of the people of Ningguo. Leaving aside the fact that he booked the entire inn in Youzhou City, he actually asked Tian Xiurong to capture all the dogs in the city..."
"This is really ridiculous!"
"Tian Xiurong, this traitor!"
"Let's go find the regent!"
"The regent is young and may have been deceived by the traitor Tian Xiurong's sweet words!"
Zeng Pengcheng seemed to have sobered up at this moment.
He stepped up and walked towards the fence gate.
Bai Xiaotian thought for a while and asked: "There are fifty or fifty inns in Youzhou City. Where can we find them?"
"... Let's keep an eye on the Youzhou government office. Tian Xiurong will definitely go to greet the regent. If we keep an eye on him, we can find the regent!"
Bai Xiaotian thought about it again. He also wanted to see what the regent looked like.
So he and Zeng Pengcheng walked out of the small courtyard and went straight to the Youzhou government office.
Tian Xiurong is indeed going to Yuelai Inn to meet the regent.
At this moment, Li Chenan and the three girls had left Yuelai Inn in two carriages and headed towards the residence of Zhang Jiayi, the salt guide at the west end of Dishui Bridge.
The regent staying at Yuelai Inn is naturally Wang Zhenghaoxuan!
