Shendou Continent

Chapter 43
Huaizhou, located in the northern province of the Ouyue Empire, is the capital of the province.Due to the barren geography and constant military conflicts in the past, the northern border has always been known for its hardships.

But the conflict in the north is only a small-scale conflict, and it is not like the huge pressure from Guangchu in the southwest, it is just a small fight.So for the northern border, although there is also a governor's mansion, its military strength is much smaller than that of the southwest, there are no large-scale wars, and it is far away from the capital.The intention of arranging Qian Xiaoming to go to Huaizhou is self-evident.

It took four days for Lin and You two to go to Hangjing, and it was getting late when they arrived in Hangjing, so they stayed in an inn.They wanted to meet Chen Jiao and the others first. Needless to say, Lin You and Chen Jiao and Chen Xiaodong had a good relationship with the Zheng brothers and sisters over the years.As for Dai Ming, he missed Chen Jiao even more, and wished he could fly to Hangjing immediately.

In the early morning of the second day, a few people from Lin went out and walked towards the lecture hall.When he walked to a residence, he was suddenly stopped by someone.The person who called them, Lin You, knew Deming, but they were not well-known for a while.It turned out that this residence was the residence of several people when they came to Hangjing to carry out their mission five years ago, and the person who called them was the housekeeper of the hospital.During that time, several people also had a lot of dealings with this housekeeper, so they knew each other naturally, they haven't seen each other for five years, and they met by chance in the market, which can be regarded as fate.

There was nothing left and right, and the three chatted a few words in front of the residence.Suddenly, the housekeeper mentioned that the young master who was rescued when they returned five years ago came again later to inquire about their situation.Last year, the young master who passed the exam also came here once, saying that he was teaching at Wansong Academy, and hoped that the next time they came, he could go to Wansong Academy to meet them, so that he could reward the benefactors face to face.Hearing what the housekeeper said, the two felt that the scholar was devout, and they were just doing a little effort, but they still cared so much.After thanking the housekeeper, the two left and continued to go to the school.After about half an hour, we arrived at the Lecture Hall of the Qingchun Gate.

With the memory of the last conflict, several people told the guards at the gate that they were Sun Buer’s friends and wanted to go in to find him, and showed their four full-scale soul rings, showing their soul power of level 40, in order to dissuade the guards from blocking them idea.This trick worked really well, and the two were easily let go.

The university hall was very large, so the two had no choice but to ask the steward of the school on the side of the road to ask about Chen Jiaolai.Because Chen Jiao has a soul power level of 30 at this age, he can be regarded as a star figure in the school, so almost everyone in the school knows it, and the two followed the instructions, and soon found the student group where Chen Jiao was.Five years later, she is now a student in the advanced class.It's only been two months since they were separated in Wuyunmen in summer, and Chen Jiao and the others naturally knew that Lin Youdaiming would come, and they had been looking forward to it for a long time.But right now it's morning class time in the school, and the students are all serious about their studies, so they can only meet each other after lunch at noon.Lin Youdaiming also dodged wisely, intending to find Sun Buer and meet his senior brother first.

Soon, they saw Sun Buer. At this time, Sun Buer's soul power was only level 43, and he was already 45 years old. Seeing two juniors with 20-level soul power at the age of 40, their eyes widened. It was the back waves of the Wuyun River pushing the front waves, and the front waves were shot to death on the beach.Although Sun Bu'er is not outstanding, his aptitude is not bad. Breaking through level 40 soul power at the age of 40 is not slow.However, jealousy is jealousy. As a member of Wuyunmen, he is more proud.Two people in Lin asked their seniors about traveling. Sun Buer didn't travel for a long time, but he also briefly shared his experience with them.

At noon, the three found Chen Jiao, who was Sun Buer's favorite student, and found Chen Xiaodong and the Zheng brothers and sisters, and chatted freely while eating.Having not seen each other for two months, Dai Ming was very excited to see Chen Jiao.Knowing that Dai Ming has also broken through level 40, Chen Jiao is still full of admiration even though she is mentally prepared.She has more brother-sister affection for Lin, but some hazy affection for Dai Ming. The 20-year-old Dai Ming, although not as handsome as Lin You, is still considered handsome. With a height of five feet four, he is the same as Lin You, and he can be regarded as a graceful tree among the crowd.The guy in Yushu Linfeng has a genius talent, he has achieved such a high level at a young age, how can people not admire him?And the 18-year-old Chen Jiao is already slim and tall. Although her round face is not a standard beauty face, but with big eyes, she definitely looks smart, and she is also a beauty.

Compared with the three of them, Xiaodong's three people's cultivation seems much mediocre, just like Xiaodong or Zheng Shuyan's looks.However, as fighters, they are always better than the top and the bottom is more than the bottom. The three of them are not fierce, but content.Different from his younger sister's mediocre appearance, Zheng Shutian's appearance is still very handsome. In terms of appearance alone, he is not even inferior to Lin You, and he is even fairer. He is also quite popular among female students in the school, but his soul power level is not enough, and his popularity is limited .And the younger sister is not completely without advantages, at least her figure is still acceptable, with big breasts and pretty buttocks, if she wears slim clothes, it will be very lethal to some people.

Because Chen Jiao and the others had to continue to practice after dinner, they left after meeting and chatting, and informed the address of the inn, and agreed to talk in detail in the evening.

In the evening, the four of Chen Jiao came to the inn, and Lin You and the other two talked about their preliminary plans for the tour, and wanted to go to Huaizhou to meet King Huai.The four of them were at a loss when they heard about it. In fact, even Dai Ming didn't know what Lin You was doing to meet King Huai.Lin You found an excuse to prevaricate, and only said that this Prince Huai was the orphan of the former emperor, with a special status, and he traveled the mainland by himself, so of course he had to find something different to do.Only then did everyone nod their heads in understanding.Then, Xiaodong and the others talked about their understanding of Duke Huai.

It is said that King Huai has not awakened his soul, so he is not a fighter. He is 45 years old this year. It is said that he is close to Xiwen scholars and likes to recite poems and fight against each other. Alternative and very low-key.However, there are disadvantages and advantages in everything. It is also because he has no fighter cultivation, is obsessed with diction, and does not care about state affairs, so he can live safely in the Changhua Dynasty.

Hearing them say that King Huai was obsessed with diction and liked scholars who studied literature, Lin You's eyes suddenly brightened.Along the way, he was worried that he couldn't find a suitable reason to get close to Duke Huai. The housekeeper mentioned the matter of Hu Wenyong in the morning, it was really God's help!
So early the next morning, Lin You called Dai Ming to find Hu Wenyong.Wansong Academy is located in Mantou Mountain outside the city. It is said that there are ten thousand pines in the courtyard, so it is called Wansong Academy.In fact, this bull is blowing his hair out, and there are no more than a hundred pine trees in the yard.With the mobility of the two Brahma fighters, they quickly arrived at the academy. After hearing their intentions, the concierge went to Tongbing.After a while, Hu Wenyong, the vice president of the academy, appeared at the courtyard gate.The two sides looked at each other carefully, and Lin You and Dai Ming had grown taller and become more mature, while Hu Wenyong had changed a lot compared to the down-and-out scholar of the day. Dressed in Chinese clothes, her complexion is also ruddy.But even though we haven't seen each other for five years, we can still vaguely see what he looked like back then.

Hu Wenyong was very happy to see En Gong coming, and after a brief look and confirmation, he led into the living room of the academy and ordered the book boy to serve him good tea.The two sides chatted about their daily routines and lamented the changes in the past five years.Hearing that the two were already Brahma fighters, Hu Wenyong was really surprised.Although he is not a fighter, he has also heard how rare 20-year-old Brahma fighters are, so he secretly admires the strength of the two benefactors.In fact, he is only 23 years old this year, and he is already a Juzi. He can further obtain a Jinshi, or he can directly choose to be an official of the eighth rank.Imperial officials rank nineteen and eighteen. Although the eighth rank is not big, they have already embarked on the broad road, not to mention that he is still so young.However, compared to the two in front of him, he knew that the gap between himself was still too large.

After the chat, two people in Lin explained their purpose of coming, and they still talked the same way as last night. They wanted to have a different experience, so they wanted to invite scholars to visit Duke Huai together.After hearing this, Hu Wenyong became a little nervous.He asked without worry: "You two benefactors, if you trust me, please tell me directly whether it is related to the court?"

"How do you say that?" Lin You asked back.

"Presumably the two of you know about Duke Huai's life experience. As the orphan of the former emperor, Duke Huai has always been afraid of His Majesty. Fortunately, Duke Huai is not a fighter. He cultivates his character and stays away from the temple. That's why these years are barely safe. Mr. En is from Wuyun Sect. Wuyunmen was close to the imperial family, when the late emperor suddenly died of illness, there was a member of Wuyunmen who had a surname Xie who was kind to the late emperor, and asked the court to investigate thoroughly. Afterwards, some things happened, so nothing happened. Now the two are going to visit the late emperor Orphans, I don’t know if it’s the original intention or something else?”

This question was actually quite straightforward, but Lin You and the other two didn't care, but they were surprised to hear that the other party actually knew about Master Xie Xuan.

After in-depth conversation, Hu Wenyong could barely believe that seeing King Huai was just Lin You's personal idea. If it wasn't because of his old feelings five years ago, he would not have believed this kind of talk.From the conversation, the two of Lin knew that Hu Wenyong's father used to work in the Xingzhou princess's mansion, and he was regarded as a child of the princess' retainer, so they knew something about the past.This made Lin You very excited. If he hadn't restrained himself, he might have revealed his identity to Hu Wenyong directly.It was obviously too reckless to do so, so the idea was quickly dispelled, and he turned to ask some past events between Emperor Xian, King Huai, the princess and Xie Xuan.During the conversation, Hu Wenyong also knew that both of them were from Ziyun Peak, where Xie Xuan lived, and it was reasonable to care about the past affairs of their ancestors, so he responded patiently.

Although Hu Wenyong is young, his father was once the head of the palace of Princess Yizhu of Xingzhou. He was in charge of the affairs of the palace and won the trust of the princess, so he knew some inside information. .

But seeing Lin You insinuating about the princess and King Huai, Hu Wenyong was also a little worried.Looking at Lin You and the two of them, he observed again and again. He was not sure about some words, and didn't know if he should say it or not.Lin You saw that Hu Wenyong was worried, so in order to dispel his thoughts, he took the initiative to take out the gold medal engraved with "Princess Palace of the Leftover Pearl", which was the relic of his mother given to him by Nangong Yun five years ago.Seeing this, Hu Wenyong stood up, focused his eyes on it again, and then asked, "Where did En Gong get this card?"

"The elders in my family are also old people from the Princess Mansion."

Hu Wenyong stared blankly at Lin You, a little in disbelief, but gold medals are not deceiving.Although he hadn't seen it before, he heard from his father about this brand. If it was true, it should be something that only the princess and her close family members have. This benefactor must have a close relationship with the princess.

"If your benefactor is interested in the princess and Duke Huai, you can follow me to the Princess Xingzhou Mansion in the near future. My father should know something about it." Hu Wenyong said after careful consideration.

When Lin You heard this, he was naturally excited. The Princess Mansion was the place where he was born, so how could he refuse? He wanted to go.

20 years have passed, and the parents have also left for 20 years, and the family has long since broken up.But the old house is always to be visited, not to mention that there are parents' imprints there.
