Rise of the Heavens

Chapter 232 Yingchuan Junjie
After arriving in Yingchuan County, Gao Cheng did not continue to Luoyang, but turned to Yangdi, which is the seat of Yingchuan County, where the famous Yingchuan Academy is located.Xi Zhicai, his appointed military adviser, is still studying at Yingchuan Academy.

After being separated from Xi Zhicai for such a long time, I don't know how far the other party has grown in Yingchuan Academy.It just so happened that this time he was going to Luoyang via Yingchuan, so Gao Cheng wanted to meet him.It would be even better if we can take the opportunity to recruit some unsatisfactory talents.

A group of people walked in the direction of Yangdi, and the number of people on the road gradually increased, and it was no longer a scene of barren ruins.The city around Yangdi is protected by Yingchuan Academy, and students in scholar's robes can be seen from time to time.These people are descendants of aristocratic families from several states and counties in the Central Plains, especially the descendants of aristocratic families in Yuzhou and Yanzhou.

Most of them are Soul Refining Stream cultivators embarking on the road of cultivation, but their realm is not high. In order to protect their own safety, they are surrounded by majestic family soldiers.Occasionally, I encountered some bandits. After seeing these people, I hurriedly fled, and I didn't dare to go forward to provoke them.

"Yingchuan Academy is somewhat similar to the cultivation sects in other worlds. If the children of these aristocratic families who come to study succeed in their studies, the academy will also benefit greatly. Moreover, so many children from aristocratic families gather together, and everyone brings A few powerful family soldiers and warriors can be combined into a powerful force!"

With so many descendants of the family and the generals of the family, one of the eight great families in the world, the Xun family of Yingchuan, and the master masters of the Chen family sit in the town in person, even if Zhang Jiao personally leads the troops to arrive, he must be cautious.

Frightened by the power of Yingchuan Academy and the two top aristocratic families of Xun and Chen, the Yellow Turban army did not want to provoke other powerful enemies when fighting the Han army.Gao Cheng's heart turned secretly, and he understood the reason why the whole county of Yingchuan was under fire and only Yangdi was able to survive.

Two hundred knights guarded the carriage and came slowly to Yangdi City. After being settled in an inn, Gao Cheng asked Pei Yuanshao to guard the carriage, while he took Jiang Qin and Xu Xuan to Yingchuan Academy.

……

The academy is located on the edge of a hill outside the city. There is a small river flowing beside the rocks. There are mountains and waters. It is very elegant. Several huge courtyards are shrouded in a misty purple atmosphere. From a long distance, Gao Cheng can sense the academy in front of him. There are two powerful auras that go straight to the sky.

This aura is vigorous and upright, very similar to the awe-inspiring aura on Zhang Zhao.These two auras are the two master soul refining masters who sit in Yingchuan Academy.

At the gate of the academy, many children from aristocratic families came in and out, and occasionally there were one or two poor scholars.

At this time, Gao Cheng saw a man with ordinary clothes but extraordinary temperament coming out of the academy, no matter whether he was a child from aristocratic family or a scholar from a humble family, when they saw this man, they all greeted him proactively.This person's spiritual power is majestic and powerful, and it has reached an extraordinary level.

Seeing this, Gao Cheng stepped forward and cupped his hands and asked, "Brother, may I bother you, may I ask Yingchuan Xijun, is he in the academy?"

This man looks handsome, but his expression is slightly dull. Hearing Gao Cheng's question, he first looked him up carefully, and then asked, "I don't know who you are?"

Gao Cheng said: "Gao Cheng in Xia Guangling is a good friend of Xijun. He passed by Yingchuan and came to visit him!"

"Oh? So that's how it is. Zhicai is drinking with people at the Dongshan Pavilion right now. Come with me!" the man said slowly, and then led the way.

On the way, Gao Cheng had the intention to strike up a conversation with the other party, thinking to himself: "It's rare to see a soul-refining powerhouse in the extraordinary realm, so is this person also a person with a long history?
In less than a stick of incense, the four of them came to the hill next to the academy. On a platform halfway up the mountain, there was a pavilion. At this time, the three of them were warming wine and talking inside.

One of them was Xi Zhicai, whom he hadn't seen for a long time. The two people beside him were a handsome young man in his twenties.The other person was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy with a slightly pale face, holding a wine bottle in his hand, drinking a glass from time to time.

"Wen Ruo, Zhi Cai, Feng Xiao!" The man leading the way stepped forward quickly and called out.

"Wen Ruo? Feng Xiao?"

Gao Cheng, who was behind, was shocked, and immediately looked at the handsome young man beside Xi Zhicai. This person's spiritual strength was magnificent, even surpassing his own.He is Xun Yu, Xun Wenruo, a direct descendant of the Xun family in Yingchuan.Sure enough, the reputation is well-deserved.

And the other fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy is Guo Jia, the counselor who defected to Cao Cao after Xi Zhicai's death in the future.Gao Cheng did not expect that when he came to Yingchuan Academy this time, he could meet Xun Yu and Guo Jia, two top talents.Oh no, the man leading the way must also be a famous figure in history!
At this time, Xi Zhicai also saw Gao Cheng's figure, with a gleam of joy on his face, he stood up quickly and said, "Brother Ziming, when did you come to Yingchuan, you didn't tell me in advance!"

Gao Cheng laughed, and said, "I'm going to Luoyang on business this time, passing by Yingchuan, so I'll come and see you!"

"Since you are Zhicai's friend, why don't you sit down and have a glass of warm wine to reminisce about the old days!" After the two had said a few words, Xun Yu stood up and invited him actively. He sensed Gao Cheng's powerful spiritual power, Knowing that this person in front of him is extraordinary, and that Gao Cheng has a majesty that has been in a high position for a long time, people dare not underestimate him.

Xi Zhicai patted his head, and said with a smile: "I forgot to introduce you, Wen Ruo, Gongda, Feng Xiao, this is the Guangling Gao Ziming I mentioned to everyone! Last time I was able to escape from the Yellow Turban, It all depends on Brother Ziming's help!"

As he spoke, he hurriedly introduced each other to each other.It was only then that Gao Cheng realized that the man leading the way for him was another son of the Xun family in Yingchuan, Xun You and Xun Gongda.

The two sides bowed to each other, and then each sat down. Xun Yu thought for a while and said, "Brother Ziming defeated hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban rebels in Xuzhou not long ago and put down Pengcheng. This trip to Luoyang should be to meet His Majesty and wait for his promotion to an official position." Bar?"

The Yingchuan Xun family is one of the eight great aristocratic families in the world. Although it is not as good as the leader of the Runan Yuan family, but with the children of these aristocratic families in Yingchuan Academy, they are very well-informed about the news in the Central Plains.The Xun family can know the major events happening in Yuzhou, Yanzhou, Qingzhou and Xuzhou at the first time.

It was the first time for Xi Zhicai to hear this news, his eyes widened when he heard the words, he looked at Gao Cheng and was speechless, the last time we parted, Gao Cheng was still a child of a small family who had just escaped from the nest of yellow turban thieves .Unexpectedly, after some time passed, when we met again, he was already a full-time official of the imperial court leading tens of thousands of troops to quell the bandits.

This span is a bit big!Even Guo Jia, who was watching with cold eyes, couldn't help the shock in his heart, his right hand trembled, and almost spilled the wine in the wine bottle.

　On the first day of the new year, shouldn't it be time to eat dumplings...………………… Happy New Year to everyone again!
