Lu Zhengqing was preparing to eat. The lunch meal was extremely simple, a bowl of white porridge, a plate of cabbage and tofu, a plate of smoked fish, and a few steamed buns.
Just as he picked up the chopsticks, there was a knock on the door, but it was He An and Fan Dazhi. The two were placed in solitary confinement and missed a week of classes. They came over every time after school to ask questions.
Lu Zhengqing was very satisfied with the two people's humble and studious attitude. Recently, he often taught them some additional content after class. Today, as usual, he will tell them about "Theory".
Fan Dazhi looked at the food on the table and couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva. Lu Zhengqing smiled and took out two pairs of clean bowls and chopsticks. Fan Dazhi was not polite, grabbed a steamed bun and ate it.
Lu Zhengqing said: "Originally I planned to tell you some of the important points in detail tomorrow, but it is said that tomorrow is the day when the academy tests the talent for cultivation. This is a big event and must not be delayed. Literature is used to convey the Tao, and martial arts is used to prove the Tao. Knowing the academy We have always admired both civil and military talents. Although you are extremely talented, your knowledge is boundless and you must not relax at all..."
He An humbly bowed his head to accept the instruction, but Fan Dazhi agreed vaguely, without stopping at all with the chopsticks in his hand. In the blink of an eye, he had eaten three steamed buns and a plate of smoked fish, leaving only one fish head.
"You kid...you are so smart, but you are like a hungry ghost reincarnated!" Lu Zhengqing laughed and cursed, opened the door again and called to the servant to fill a bowl of white porridge and bring two plates of pickles.
Fan Dazhi finished the cabbage and tofu like a storm, picked up the rice bowl and drank half a bowl of porridge, and then stroked his belly with satisfaction.
After He An finished a bowl of white porridge, he was about to help clear the table and chopsticks. Lu Zhengqing waved to him, stood up and led the two of them to the study.
Lu Zhengqing's explanation lasted for several hours, but He An sat upright and listened very attentively. Fan Dazhi sat for a long time, stretched his waist impatiently and yawned. When he saw Lu Zhengqing looking at him with a look of hatred on his face, he behaved honestly for a while.
After a while, when Lu Zhengqing looked at him again, he was looking like an old man, his eyes were blurred, and he was obviously in a daze.
Lu Zhengqing couldn't help but knock on the table with his ruler. He really loved and hated this disciple. He usually looked like a lazy person who loved studying to death, but he was able to figure it out with just one point and was extremely smart.
When the lamp was turned on indoors and the moonlight rose above the willow trees outside, Lu Zhengqing's expression could no longer conceal his fatigue.
He An was greatly moved. He stood up and bowed deeply to the teacher. Lu Zhengqing smiled and waved his hands and said, "No, no! You are such a respectable child. I am so happy from the bottom of my heart!" He looked at him again. Fan Dazhi said: "If your boy is as knowledgeable about etiquette and interest as He An in the future, my hard work today will not be in vain!"
The two said goodbye to Lu Zhengqing, had dinner in the dining room, and returned to their residence.
Bi Yunfei was practicing swordsmanship in the room, and a single sword was shimmering and whistling in the wind as he danced it. When he saw the two people coming back, Bi Yunfei gracefully wrapped his arms around the sword, put it back into its sheath and said with a smile: "Make these two brothers laugh. , Yunfei is getting involved in martial arts for the first time, so I would like to ask you two for more advice in the future!"
He An bowed his hand to him and said with a smile: "Brother Bi is too self-effacing. The two of us have only practiced some rudimentary kung fu. We still need to learn from Brother Bi if we have the opportunity!"
Bi Yunfei raised his eyebrows, smiled kindly and said: "Others don't know, but I heard that brother He An once seriously injured the flying swordsman of the Cui family, and also beat the losers of those who followed him. He An Brother was imprisoned for this reason, Bi Mou admires him! Those people are usually domineering and domineering, Brother He An fought well, it is really satisfying!" After he finished speaking, he clapped his thigh and looked very excited.
Just when He An was about to speak, Fan Dazhi came forward warmly and said: "Brother Yunfei doesn't know something. They were the ones who provoked and acted first that day, and Xiao An also... had no choice but to fight back. But what Brother Yunfei said is right, and I think it was them." They should fight! It’s a pity that I... am not good at fighting, otherwise, I would also give them a good beating!"
Bi Yunfei had a bright smile on his face, gave Fan Dazhi a thumbs up and said: "Brother Dazhi, well done. It's a pity that I didn't meet you two at that time. Otherwise, even with all my passion, I would have fought to the death with them. These people I have long been tired of being able to act recklessly because of my prominent family background. Zhixingyuan is famous all over the world, so I never thought that it would recruit some dandy boys who are ignorant and ignorant. However... as long as we join hands and unite, I understand that they will do the same. There won’t be any trouble.”
See He An and Fan Dazhi nodding in agreement. Bi Yunfei added: "Tomorrow, the academy will test the talent of cultivation. With the skills of the two brothers, I think they will be able to make a big splash. In the future... it will be easy to get the title of marquis and prime minister, fame, fortune and wealth. I hope you can help me a little during the introduction. As the saying goes, don’t forget each other even if you want wealth and honor!”
After he finished speaking, he laughed heartily and held the arms of Fan Dazhi and He An very enthusiastically. Fan Dazhi also shouted happily: "We are all brothers in the four seas. Brother Yunfei's words are right!"
He An nodded silently with a smile. Although the Duke Gu Qingzhou among the four people in the room was not always around, he often entertained several people for drinks and was very generous. Although his words and demeanor were sometimes arrogant, he was kind-hearted and straightforward. It's easy to feel good about someone. Although they have been together with Bi Yunfei for longer, He An always feels that this person is warm-hearted and cold-hearted, young and mature, and has a deep city.
The three of them chatted for a while, and seeing that it was getting late, they went to bed to rest. Fan Dazhi let out a long yawn, and soon began to snore. From time to time, rustling sounds could be heard in the darkness. Bi Yunfei lay on the bed and turned over, not knowing what he was thinking.
He An quietly sat up and silently performed the exercises. He felt the clear Qi flowing in from the Baihui acupoint on his head, slowly flowing and wandering in his body. The acupuncture points and meridians it passed through felt a slight soreness and numbness for a moment. Later it became an indescribable sense of joy.
His lower abdominal pubic area is burning and there is a slight feeling of swelling. He An can confirm that it is definitely not from holding in urine. He does not know what kind of exercises his uncle taught him. However, he will never go wrong if he persists in practicing. Thinking like this, he slowly ran the technique a few more times before lying down and gradually falling asleep.
In the early morning of the next day, Bi Yunfei went out early on the pretext of having something to do, and He An and Fan Dazhi rushed to the courtyard together.
It snowed again last night, and there was a thin layer of snow on the eaves of the road. The test point was set up in Zhiwu Hall, and the students who had come early had already lined up in a long line.
The two of them stood at the end of the queue. Fan Dazhi looked at the crowd of people in front of him and frowned: "Xiao An, there are so many people, how long will we wait in line?"
Just as He An was about to speak, a sinister voice came from behind him and said: "You two bastards are here too. Shouldn't our debt be settled too?"
He An turned around and saw a pair of cold eyes, it was Cui Mengshu. The other party stood behind him, followed by a group of people, all with unkind expressions, quietly surrounding him.
In addition to the few guys I beat last time, there are also a few burly men. One of them had his arms hanging down, his finger joints were thick, and his temples were bulging high on both sides. He looked like a master from outside. There was also a tall and thin man standing at the back, with a collar covering his face. Although he couldn't see clearly, He An could feel the dangerous aura on this man.
Unexpectedly, this Cui Mengshu actually found a master again, and became more serious and wanted to deal with him. He An looked around and immediately calmed down. This was the Zhixingyuan Zhiwu Hall, and there were teachers and students nearby. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he didn't believe that the other party dared to take action unscrupulously.
As expected, Cui Mengshu stared at He An like a poisonous snake and said: "Last time you hurt me, I will pay you back ten times or a hundred times! If you have the guts, just..."
"Don't be impatient, everyone. We are all classmates. Let's discuss things carefully!" A person suddenly squeezed in and shouted loudly. At the same time, he opened his arms to stand between He An and Cui Mengshu, protecting He An and Fan Dazhi behind him. It's Bi Yunfei.
He An felt warm in his heart. He didn't expect that this person would step forward at the critical moment. After all, he had underestimated him.
Cui Mengshu was interrupted and shouted angrily at Bi Yunfei: "Get out of here! You are looking for death..."
At this moment, there was a "pop" sound, and a white thing hit Cui Mengshu's face, interrupting his words again.
Cui Mengshu was caught off guard by the beating, and when he grabbed his face, he found a meat bun with hot and sticky soup, which covered his face. He gritted his teeth in anger and looked around.
"You're just looking for death!" A lazy voice sounded, and Gu Qingzhou, who was dressed in a brocade robe and had a face like a crown jewel, walked slowly over, carrying a basket of soup dumplings in his hand, opened the lid with a smile, and greeted Bi Yunfei, He An and Fan Dazhi were eating steamed buns, but turned a blind eye to Cui Mengshu's group.
"Hiss..." Cui Mengshu took a breath, and his handsome face became twisted with anger: "You——"
Gu Qingzhou's face darkened, and he raised his head arrogantly and shouted: "Challenge me? Are you worthy of it? Get out of here!"
Some of the people following Cui Mengshu knew Gu Qingzhou, and they whispered to each other. Seeing that the situation was not good, no one dared to step forward.
Cui Mengshu's face turned from green to white, his eyes burst out with desire. He froze for a moment, gritted his teeth, and turned away fiercely. The group of people following him also followed suit and walked away.
Fan Dazhi had already eaten two sauced pork buns. When he saw them walking away, he said vaguely: "Brother Gu, you are still the best. You dismissed them with just one sentence...Thanks to you today!"
He An also thanked him sincerely, and Gu Qingzhou waved his hands with a smile and said: "My two brothers and I hit it off immediately, and it's just a piece of cake to deal with such villains. I took the time to take the test today, and I have to go back to the house to deal with some things later. , after these few busy days, I’ll treat all brothers to a drink!”
After speaking, he hugged Fan Dazhi, He An and Bi Yunfei and hurriedly walked into the crowd. The students lining up around stretched their necks to watch the excitement. Many of them knew Gu Qingzhou. When they saw him approaching, they greeted him enthusiastically and hurriedly made way. Others also followed suit and gave way. Gu Qingzhou walked into Zhiwu Hall smoothly as if there was no one around. .
After a while, Gu Qingzhou walked out happily with brisk steps, waved to He An and the others in the crowd, and walked away in a hurry on the path covered with thin snow and frozen hard.
