Nightfall Chapter 8: Former classmates

In early summer, Chang'an couldn't talk about the extreme heat, but there was already an ice basin in the back home of the rich. The draught wind with the coolness of ice, lingering in the house, seemed to be back in winter.

Master Chu still had his shirt open, sweating profusely, waving his fan, and he looked very hot—he couldn't help but become nervous after hearing the news, and his heart began to heat up.

"Is it true? Is this true?" He stared at Xiu Yuxian, and asked in a low voice, seemingly mysterious, "If it's not convenient for you to say, you can leave it alone, just blink It's done."

Xi Youxian sighed helplessly as he watched his father, and he held his forehead. He didn't know how to answer. Although he had begun to tell this story in the house for the past two days, he couldn't admit it.

Looking at his reaction, Master Yu knew that it was probably true. The wrinkles on his face suddenly stretched, he laughed, patted his shoulder excitedly, and said: "No wonder it's hard to live these days. The people who saw you at home didn't bump into you in *zhao. I thought you couldn't change your mind like this. Turned out to be an official. It's not bad. It was true that you spent so much money in sending you to the college."

Master Xu is a well-known rich man in the city of Chang'an. The most hopeful thing in this life is that his children can appear in the officialdom. According to the information found, although Xu Yuxian’s position is not high, his position is extremely high. The key point is the confidant of the court, confirming that this matter is true, there is no reason for him to be unhappy.

He looked at Yuxian Suyong and said, "Your grades in the college are in a mess, and your ability to do things is not very outstanding. You should be able to achieve this position. You should know that it is Mr. Thirteen. With the old friendship, you must never fail, be careful and don't be too proud. "

Xie Yuxian endured it for a long time, and finally couldn't bear it anymore. He waved his arms and exclaimed: "Who is it? Who is it? I'm a dark guard. You can't let people know about this! You have to spend thousands of taels of silver to invite someone to check me. Now this is good, let you find out, then you say I can still do it? Do you have to spend more Tens of thousands of taels of silver to seal everyone’s mouth? I don’t understand. It’s a good thing, so why did you make it so troublesome?"

Master Xu was taught by his son, but he couldn't answer it because he did not think about it. His face was blue and blush, and he said: "I don't care about you in the future?"

Xin Youxian stood up and prepared to leave angrily.

Lord Xu saw that he lowered his body, this kid was really uncomfortable, he couldn't help being really annoyed, and he shouted: "Don't think you are the confidant of the court now, I dare not beat you! At this time, I will go out wild. ?"

Xu Youxian said: "There is a party in the night*, you must go."

Master Xu angrily said: "I haven't gone for ten days, why are you going?"

Xu Youxian said angrily: "College classmates gather, if you don't let me go, I won't go."

What if Master Yu wanted to say that he couldn't go, suddenly thinking that Mr. Thirteen should also be considered as his son's classmate, where he could be said, he said: "Go early and return early."

The city of Chang'an in the early summer is full of green trees. Even if you look at it from a long distance, you will see a lot of greenery, which is very comfortable.

It’s just that no matter how beautiful the scenery is, if you look at it for a long time, you will always be a little bored. Just like the world is so big, the master is tired of watching it for thousands of years. He always wants to go to see it elsewhere, for example The queen empress has lived in this city for decades, because there is no one to accompany her to watch, and she is also disgusted.

Ning Que stood on the city wall, looking at the mountains, forests and lakes in the city, naturally thinking of these two people, and then remembering what Ye Hongyu said by the Yanming Lake.

——You will be trapped in the city of Chang'an all your life, and you will be an angry prisoner.

Except when he went out of the city for ten miles to sacrifice his grave during the Qingming Festival, he hadn't left Chang'an for many days. He had already begun to get bored. There was still a distance from anger, but he knew that he had indeed become a prisoner.

There is a warm wind blowing on the city wall. Early summer and late spring are the warmest and most beautiful times in Chang'an, but the big brother still has not taken off the old padded jacket.

Ning Que was very sure. From the day when he first met the big brother in the spring of the 13th year of the Apocalypse, the big brother's padded jacket has not been washed. It is always dusty, but why does it still feel so clean?

"The heart is pure and the body is pure." Senior brother said slowly.

Ning Que smiled and said: "I have only heard of the idea of ​​being self-biased in a quiet manner, but I have never heard of the idea of ​​self-purification of the mind and body. Don't you think this is unreasonable, brother?"

The big brother walked slowly to his side, looked at the streets under the city wall, and said: "The heart is quietly biased...this sentence is very interesting, but it is a pity that your heart cannot be calmed down."

If the heart can be truly calm, then even if you are in jail, you can still gallop between heaven and earth. Ning Que understands what the big brother means, but under the current situation, he can't calm down.

The big brother looked at him and said with pity: "Since you can't meditate, then move."

Ning Que thought for a while and said: "Too risky."

The big brother said: "The shocking formation is still there, I can go, even if it is dangerous, I believe I can resist it for a while, I can't let you really waste time here."

Ning Que pointed to the pedestrians in the streets and said: "Their lives and future are on my shoulders. What qualifications do I have to take them on adventures?"

The big brother said: "You are now guarding this city and the people in the city, but if you still can't get out of this city, then the city and the people in the city are guarding you."

Ning Que was silent for a long time and said, "I understand."

The senior brother said: "According to the method we thought of a few days ago, it doesn't hurt to move. Jun Mo and I don't worry about Chang'an, we only worry about what you might encounter on the road."

Ning Que said: "If the fourth brother's calculation is correct, even if the problem is encountered, it can be resolved. What needs to be determined now is the news from the Xiling Temple."

The big brother asked: "When can I confirm?"

Ning Que was silent for a moment and said: "Maybe it will never be confirmed. I want to get more information and make a decision. If you really do this, you will still have to work hard, brother."

The big brother said gently: "Then look at it again, I will leave first."

Ning Que asked: "Brother, you want to go back to the palace?"

The elder brother said: "Some problems have occurred in the Weishui Long Dike. The adults from the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households are arguing in the palace. Your Majesty and Li Yu are still waiting for me to go back and make a decision."

Ning Que asked seriously: "Brother, is there anything you can't do?"

The big brother smiled and said: "I don't know the Talisman Dao, otherwise I will be a prisoner of this city, but if I am imprisoned in Chang'an, I would not have any opinion."

After the brother returned to the palace, Ning Que stayed on the city wall for a while. He watched the sun gradually sink to the west and the sunset glow illuminated the golden walls of Chang'an city wall. Then he saw the city become a sea of ​​flowers.

Thousands of Tang Jun walked into Chang'an City under the warm welcome of people waving their hands and throwing flowers everywhere. They belonged to the Zhenbei Army. They were the most miserable and bitter in this war, and because of the pressure exerted by the King's Court of the Golden Horde, they were delayed until early summer before returning to Chang'an City to receive honors.

Ning Que walked down the city wall and moved to *.

……

……

Tonight* recruits a reserved place to hold the 13th Anniversary Meeting of the Academy of Apocalypse

Ning Que stood by the window, looking at the young generals downstairs who kept drinking alcohol, and the new officials in the ministries. He saw those with beards and no childish feelings. Chu Zhongtian saw Linchuan Wang Ying, who was extremely beautiful in the Hanlin Academy, saw Chen Simiao, He Yingqin, and Chen Zixian and other classmates of Bingshe.

Situ Yilan and Jin Wucai were sitting at the table holding hands, whispering the story after the farewell, looking at his back by the window, Situ Yilan asked: "You really can't go down? "

Ning Que shook his head, turned and walked to the table to sit down.

With his current status, it is indeed inconvenient to go downstairs, and there is no need to deliberately make those gestures. In this single room, there are only him and Yu Yuxian plus these two familiar girls.

Jin Wucai married a young official from the Ministry of Industry after she was out of her filial piety period. Judging from her gentle expression, she should have a very happy life after marriage, but I don’t know if she sometimes thinks of it. There is a man named Xie Chengyun.

Situ Yilan has been in the army for these years, especially since last year. She has been fighting the cavalry of the Golden Horde at the forefront of Northern Xinjiang. She has just returned to Chang'an City today. The reason why this college classmate is now The most important reason for holding is to wait for her return.

Chu Youxian drank a few glasses of wine with him. Seeing that Situ Yilan seemed to have something to say to Ning Que alone, he winked at Jin Wucai and the two went out of the room and went downstairs.

Situ Yilan looked into Ning Que’s eyes and said, “It is said that it was the Prince’s idea to cede Xiang Wanyuan. When he died, the empress was also dead, even a soldier in the northern army. There is no way to complain, but I know that things like this must be approved by the college."

She had changed into casual clothes at this time. Although she was a little darkened by the wind and sun in Northern Xinjiang, her face was still beautiful and beautiful, but the cloth towel wrapped around her head felt a little weird.

Ning Que looked at her and said, "I know what you want to ask. Yes, the ceding of Xiang Wanyuan to the golden account, including the ceding of Dongshan County to Yan Guo, are all academies, and to be more precise, I agree."

Situ Yilan asked: "Why? If the cession of Dongshan County is only a temporary weakness, why cede Xiangwanyuan? You should be very clear about the importance of that pasture to my Datang."

Ning Que said: "You can probably guess that something happened and the college has to retire temporarily."

Situ Yilan said: "The golden tent cavalry is really strong. We have died a lot of people there. I feel a little uneasy to think that they might become stronger."

Ning Que said: "I will kill them all, don't worry."

Situ Yilan believed his words very much. Although she knew that no matter how powerful a cultivator was, it would be impossible to completely destroy the Golden Tent King Court, but she was no longer worried because this was the promise of the academy.

She noticed that Ning Que had been staring at her somewhere, and she smiled and asked, "Is it curious?"

Ning defect nodded.

She tore off the cloth towel.

The hair that used to be waterfall-like at the time has become scribbled short hair.
