Meet the Gentleman

Chapter 350 It’s Spring Again

In the realm of mountains and seas.

A scene full of flowers and birds singing.

But outside the realm of mountains and seas, the world of Zhou is covered with ice for thousands of miles and snow for tens of thousands of miles, leaving only vastness.

In the early spring of the New Year, a horse-drawn carriage drove out of a city hundreds of miles away from Bocheng and slowly headed southeast towards the State of Lu.

Sitting in the carriage was a young man with an extraordinary appearance, and it was Feng Qingyan.

Next to him, there was a handsome book boy who looked about 13 or 14 years old. It was Jiuge. Jiuge seemed a little excited at this time. The master finally took him on a trip...

"Where are we going, sir?"

Jiuge asked excitedly.

“Go somewhere quiet and read.”

Feng Qingyan said this while reading a book, but the book he was reading was the "Classic of Mountains and Seas".

"?"

Jiuge became a little confused and seemed to not understand.

If you want to find a quiet place to study, there are quiet places in Xusheng Palace, the academy, or the burial mountain.

There's no need to sneak out, right?

"You'll know when you get there." Feng Qingyan said with a smile.

In the blink of an eye, two days passed.

The carriage happened to arrive at a small town, so Feng Qingyan and Jiuge stayed there for one night. The next morning, they rented a carriage and continued their journey south.

At this time, he was like an ordinary scholar, nothing special about him.

However, even if he dressed up as a beggar, he would still be otherworldly, like the bright moon in the sky. He naturally exuded an otherworldly temperament that could not be concealed even if he wanted to.

This made him a little helpless.

……

Bocheng.

The wind and snow had stopped long ago, but the sky and the earth were all white.

At this time, a hunchbacked old man with white hair and beard, carrying an incredibly large knife on his back, slowly walked towards Bocheng.

The hunchbacked old man walked a few steps, then stopped and tried to look up ahead.

His back is really hunched.

It seemed as if it was bent by the huge sword on its back.

Before he even entered Bo City, he had already attracted a lot of people's attention.

When he walked into Bo City, almost all eyes fell on him, but he seemed to feel nothing.

"This knife is thick and big enough!"

Someone stared at the giant sword and said.

"This sword must be at least 200 to 300 kilograms, right? How can this old man carry it? Could he be a warrior of a high level?"

On the streets of Bocheng, many pedestrians pointed and talked about the hunchbacked old man.

The old man walked slowly with a knife on his back.

Unconsciously, I passed through Bo City amidst the discussions of the crowd and stood in front of the north gate of Bo City, trying to look up at Xu Sheng Palace in the distance.

After a while, the old man took off the knife, sat down, and closed his eyes.

The old man sits there all day.

A day later, many people in Bocheng knew that there was a strange man holding a huge sword sitting in front of the north gate...

"Knife intention?"

In the Zangshan Academy.

The thin old man in gray robe who was quietly guarding the gate gradually felt a faint sword intent rising slowly from Bocheng in the south.

And it is slowly condensing.

After a moment, it seemed that the sword intent became even stronger.

At this moment, the old man in gray robe was shocked and walked out of his residence, looking at Bocheng in the south.

Although he didn't see anything, he felt it.

It is indeed the intention of the sword!
Moreover, it was a very terrifying sword intent.

Extremely magnificent!

It seems to be able to split mountains and seas.

"This sword intent?"

The old man in gray robe was shocked and his face suddenly changed.

The grey-robed old man was none other than An Xiu's servant Bai Houyuan, a warrior at the level of a military general, equivalent to a literary minister in the holy way.

But he had vaguely heard of someone with the sword power that could split mountains and seas.

That person is the dead Daoshan. Since Daoshan is dead, there are only disciples of Daoshan left.

What do the disciples of Daoshan want to do by gathering their sword power in Bocheng? If the sword power is gathered into a force, I am afraid that one sword will be able to chop down Xusheng Mansion...

At this time, Bai Houyuan didn't think twice and immediately went to the back hall of the academy.

"gentlemen."

Bai Houyuan bowed and said.

"Come in."

An Xiu's voice came.

"Sir, someone in Bo City is gathering sword power. I'm afraid someone wants to harm you." Bai Houyuan said, "The sword power they are gathering is majestic and powerful, with the power to split mountains and seas. It's possible that they are the disciples of the Sword King."

"But are you sure?"

Upon hearing this, An Xiu frowned slightly.

Bai Houyuan hesitated for a moment and then nodded.

At this time, An Xiu immediately went to feel it, but he didn't feel any sword intent. He was not a warrior, so he couldn't feel some weird and strange sword intent...

But warriors can sense it.

When Bai Houyuan left, An Xiu glanced out the window and said, "He's here, as expected."

"The person who came is Daoshan's first disciple, known as the Camel Knife King. It is rumored that he has already received Daoshan's true teachings and is also Daoshan's second martial arts king..."

Dong Louhui introduced.

At this time, he did not secretly protect Feng Qingyan, but continued to stay in the academy.

Perhaps his existence has long been unable to be concealed from some people, so staying in the academy has the effect of confusing them.

"Camel Knife King?"

An Xiu was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Daoshan's disciple was also a Martial King.

How terrifying is it to have two kings in one family?
Moreover, under the Daoshan disciples, there is not only one Camel Knife King, but also several disciples at the level of military marquises and generals.

"The Camel Knife King's giant sword is so easy to recognize, why did he carry it on his back into the city?" Dong Lou Hui asked in surprise. Is it possible that no one in Bocheng recognizes him?

How can this be?

"It's weird."

An Xiu frowned.

"Why would he do that?"

Donglou asked vaguely.

"Carrying a knife into the city, it should be to attract everyone's attention..." An Xiu said while thinking, and then suddenly looked at Dong Louhui, "Make a feint to the east and attack in the west."

"Founding in the east and attacking in the west?"

Dong Louhui frowned and said, "It is very likely."

"It seems that the Camel Knife King's mission is to attract the world's attention, but the real move is by someone else." An Xiu said with a serious expression.

"So, there is another Martial King hidden?"

Donglou Huidao.

An Xiu nodded, but after thinking about it, he felt something was wrong, so he said, "If it was the King of Wu who came to Bo City, I'm afraid it would be impossible to hide it from the world. Maybe it was the Marquis of Wu, or even a general..."

"Military general? A military general should not have that kind of strength."

Dong Louhui shook his head.

Although Feng Qingyan is only at the level of a scholar, he has many cards up his sleeve. Even if he is at the level of a martial king, he may not be able to be killed.

Let alone a military general.

"The spring exam is about to begin again."

At this time An Xiu suddenly said, which made Dong Lou Hui stunned for a moment.

……

Early spring of the Lunar New Year.

It was the time for the grand examination of the 81 Confucian academies.

So Bocheng began to become lively again, with countless students coming from all over the place.

Although the current Zangshan Academy is not as good as the top ten academies, it has been canonized, so it is more crazy than Sanshang Academy.

Countless students chose Zangshan Academy because of the canonization.

Countless students want to become canonized classmates.

Unfortunately, no one knew that Feng Qingyan had left Bo City several days ago and headed for the Confucian Twenty-Seven Book Mountain.

At this time, many young figures appeared inside and outside Bocheng, in front of and behind the academy. But among the many figures, there was a young woman who was surrounded by countless people, like a moon surrounded by stars.
