"Qing...Qingxi?"
Hearing the place name spoken from Ying Shiba's mouth, Shen Haolin and Shen Cha were stunned. The two looked at each other and saw incredible expressions on each other's faces.
If there is nothing wrong with their memory, they remember that before the third son of Prince Yihe escaped from marriage, he had sworn to his servant or bodyguard that anyone who wanted to come to Jiapingguan City to join the army would come to Huasha. Hot-blooded, why did you run to Qingxi in a blink of an eye? The small town of Qingxi is to the south of Xijing City, about twenty miles away from Xijing City, and Jiapingguan City is due north of Xijing City. What is the situation of this third son's route? How can he go farther and farther? ?
Shen Cha shook his head, I'm afraid this is the real version of the opposite. The Third Young Master interpreted the meaning of this idiom with practical actions. It's no wonder that they searched for so many days in the north and couldn't find it.
"I remember that in the town of Qingxi, half of it was a bookstore and the other half was a printing and engraving workshop." Uncle Yan looked at Ying Shiba, "Isn't that right?"
"Yes!" Ying Shiba nodded, "The news from Xijing is that our people found him in the bookstore."
"So, nerds are attracted to bookstores and engraving workshops?"
"Are you embarrassed to call someone a nerd?" Uncle Yan rolled his eyes at Qin Zheng, "Have you read more books than that kid has eaten?"
"Yes, yes, yes, I am also a nerd, but I am a smart nerd. I am not like this Third Young Master, who knows nothing and knows nothing except reading." Qin Zheng shook his head helplessly, Prince Yihe He is not a stupid person, the prince and the second young master are also very shrewd. Why is this younger son so stupid? I don’t know who he is following. "When he arrived in Qingxi Town, he saw so many books. He probably forgot about joining the army. But...how did he get there? Did he go through the south gate?"
"No, His Majesty said last time, it's the North Gate. However, from the North Gate of Xijing City, it takes two days to walk around to Qingxi." Shen Haolin rubbed his swollen forehead, "I admire it very much. He has never been out before, and after taking such a long detour, he accurately found the gathering place for nerds."
"Is it because he has never been out before that he got lost? He is really stupid. Doesn't he know that he went in the wrong direction? Didn't he ask anyone for directions?" Shen Cha shook his head helplessly and looked towards Ying Shiba asked, "Did the entire process be explained in detail in the news we received?"
"Yes! After several days of searching without success, Commander Bai suggested that instead of hanging in the north, we should search in other directions." Ying Shiba sighed, "As expected, we are searching in the south. On the second day, the Third Young Master was discovered in a bookstore in Qingxi Town. When the Shadows invited him back to the inn, the Third Young Master was still confused and had no idea that he had actually gone the wrong way. He thought he found the right direction, so he didn't ask anyone for directions, and no one asked him where he was going."
"What a wonderful misunderstanding!" Shen Cha snorted coldly, "Keep talking!"
"He told his brothers that when he saw so many bookstores in this town, he was a little reluctant to leave. He wanted to take a stroll first to see if there were any books that he needed to bring to Jiapingguan City. So he packed a bag at the inn He lived in an upper room and went out every day to read and buy books. Our people found three large piles of books in his room and asked him why he bought so many books. He said that the soldiers at the border were generally illiterate. You can come here as a teacher and teach the soldiers how to read and write."
"He didn't come to join the army, but to be a gentleman?" Shen Cha thought he heard wrongly and asked again.
"That's what he said!" Ying Shiba also found it funny, touched his nose, and continued, "He said that as a military general, you have to be illiterate. At the very least, you must be able to write your own name and write memorials to His Majesty. "
"Is this child reading stupidly? How many military generals are illiterate these days? His prejudice against military generals is really... This style is a bit familiar. I seem to have seen it somewhere before!" Yan Bo heard this He was very unhappy, and other people also frowned, feeling that Zhao Yuhe was too self-righteous. Yan Bo hummed twice, lowered his head and thought for a while, patted his thigh, and said, "Now that I think about it, I know who he looks like. Sure enough, my nephew follows my uncle. His behavior is different from his high-minded but low-handedness." My uncle is a virtuous man. Sure enough, the children taught by that guy will become idiots like him!"
"Uncle?" Shen Haolin thought for a moment, "His uncle, could it be... Mr. Cai's son who once caused public outrage? It took more than ten years to pass the Jinshi exam, but on the day the results were released, he was drunk because of Too much, the one who fell directly into the river and drowned?"
"That's right!" Uncle Yan nodded, curled his lips with disgust, and said, "That's him. He's nothing special. Not only the military generals want to beat him up, but also the children of noble families want to beat him." Slap him in the mouth."
"There's so much public outrage!" Qin Zheng looked at Uncle Yan curiously, "What did he do? Is he stealing, or bullying men and women?"
"Compared with what he did, these things are nothing compared to what he did. Don't worry, listen to me. This guy is a few years older than us. He thinks of himself as our elder brother all day long. When we were hanging out on the street, he met When he comes to us, he either looks at us with his chin or looks at us with his nostrils. He is so arrogant that no one in the entire Xijing City can surpass him."
"Are you looking down on you?" Qin Zhengyi raised his eyebrows, "Do you think you have lost the face of the noble family?"
"Yeah, it's a pity that the talented people in Taixue played well with us, but they didn't want to talk to him! It's just that he didn't feel it himself, and he acted like he was aloof and disdainful of being with us all day long. It seems. Not only does he look down on us, but he also looks down on those who come from the military. He has said more than once that warriors and generals are crude and there should be no place for these people in the court." Uncle Yan picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea. Then he continued, "People asked him what to do when the Liao and Jin armies were raised, and what to do when they wanted to attack Daxia. What do you think he answered?"
"You don't have to think about how this kind of person will answer." Shen Haolin sneered, "He will definitely say that fighting a war has nothing to do with him being a scholar. Anyway, he was not the one who died, and Liao and Jin will not really Fight to Xijing!"
"The Duke is wise, he really said that!" Yan Bo nodded towards Shen Haolin, "Not only that, he also said shamelessly that it doesn't matter even if Liao and Jin invade Xijing, being able to invade means that they are powerful. Well, smart people should choose powerful people to be loyal to, this is wise!"
"Fortunately, he is dead. Otherwise, sooner or later, he will die in the hands of the commanders of the various armies, or be sent to the execution ground and beheaded by His Majesty." Shen Cha's face showed no expression, and he patted Shen Haolin's. He held his hand and said, "Brother, there is no need to be angry with this kind of person. It's not worth it."
"Xiao Cha is right, such a person is not worth getting angry with. He is not heartless, but shameless and extremely shameless!" Yan Bo smiled at Shen Haolin, "Anyway, he paid for his words. It's a price. When he said this, he was in... the restaurant of Prince Shunjun's family. Coincidentally, Prince Shunjun happened to be there that day and happened to hear what he said. You also know that the temper of the prince... was spoiled by the late emperor. As long as he didn't kill people, set fire, or communicate with foreign countries, the late emperor would not care about anything he did. Therefore, Mr. Cai's young master was miserable. He was beaten into a pig's head by the county prince and lay on the bed for more than a month. Yue. Mr. Cai originally wanted to file a complaint with the late emperor, saying that Prince Shun was bullying others, but later he found out what happened and felt particularly ashamed, so he beat his son again."
"Regarding this matter, I once heard my father say that the late emperor issued an order to Mr. Cai, ordering his son to be grounded and unable to leave the house for three years." Shen Haolin held Shen Cha's hand and said, "Three years Later, this man passed the Jinshi examination, and then he slipped and drowned. But...how could Prince Yihe marry his sister? If he knew this was the case, he shouldn't have agreed to the marriage, right?"
"Marrying his sister was the first step, and he was the last one to make people angry. At that time, the third young master had already entered school! Unfortunately, the third young master's enlightenment teacher was this idiot, so I don't think he could say those words. I'm surprised, he perfectly inherited his uncle's stupidity!" Yan Bo sighed, looked at Ying Shiba, and said sheepishly, "I've interrupted you, please continue!"
"Uncle Yan, there is nothing more to say. I just found the person and sent him back to Prince Yihe's Mansion. Now, he is probably grounded by the old prince." Ying Shiba curled his lips, "Although this Third Young Master He has never been out, but he also knows that he needs to bring more money with him. He brought out all the monthly money he had saved over the years. In addition to accommodation and buying books, there is still a lot left."
"Just go back and let the old prince take good care of him. Don't let him out again and embarrass himself. Fortunately, the security around Xijing is good, there are no bandits, and he didn't meet any human traffickers, otherwise..." Chen Cha shook his head. Shaking his head, "The old prince should take this Third Young Master to thank Commander Bai properly. If he hadn't been quick to think, he probably wouldn't have found the person so quickly."
"Cha'er is right, it's time to thank Bai Meng properly!" Shen Haolin agreed with Shen Cha's words, "But... you can't stop leaving home just because of one failure, you still have to practice and practice. "
"Then you have to teach him well before he is released. At least it can't be like this time. You don't even know you are lost when you are lost, right?" Shen Cha sighed, "Fortunately, the person the princess really wants to marry is not this third young master. if not……"
"Yes, yes!" Uncle Yan nodded. When he heard someone knocking on the door outside, he stood up and went out to take a look. After a while, he came back with a huge food box, "Dinner is here. , let’s eat!” He looked at Ying Shiba, “If you have nothing to do, just eat with us!”
"Thank you, Uncle Yan. We have already eaten. Please take your time!" Ying Shiba saluted several people and said, "I'm resigning!"
Qin Zheng looked at the four bowls of fragrant noodle soup inside the food box, took out a bowl of noodle soup that seemed to have a lot of ginger shreds, and placed it in front of his little apprentice.
"Eat it while it's hot. I specifically asked Lao Mo to put more shredded ginger in the bowl I gave you. You won't get cold again after eating it."
"Thank you Master!"
