The little Fubao in the deserted village made all the dignitaries in the court go crazy with envy

Buliu City gathers merchants and tourists from all over the inner and outer regions.

There was a mix of good and bad people, and it was bustling with activity.

The streets are full of street stalls, and there are people crowding in front of each stall.

The entire sky above Buliu City was filled with the sound of bargaining, and the noise was harsh.

Looking around the place is full of people, it is not easy to find someone who runs away and hides.

Thinking of this, Ji Yue felt even more unhappy.

Although she is doted on by her father and is spoiled and overbearing, she is not completely stupid.

If the mute brought back from Da Rui was an ordinary person, he would have run away.

But the other party happened to be a prince. Once the mute ran back to Da Rui and was rescued, the matter would be exposed, and Da Rui would definitely attack Yue Hui.

In her eyes, Yuehui is naturally stronger than Darui in every way. All the tribesmen are brave and good at fighting. How could they be afraid of Darui's weak soldiers?

But whether to beat her or not is one thing, and her father will definitely not let her off easily.

So the mute can only die here and can never be allowed to return to Da Rui!

"What a bunch of good-for-nothings. They can't even keep an eye on one person and can't even handle the smallest task!"

Seeing Yue Hui's followers on the street looking for someone in the stalls, Ji Yue frowned and snorted angrily, looked around, and turned into the alley next to the restaurant.

I don’t know where the mute has gone. Fortunately, he can’t speak, so I can’t reveal his identity and experience, otherwise something would be wrong right now.

"You damn dumb monkey, wait till I catch you, you'll be in trouble!"

Unlike the noisy streets outside, the alley next to the restaurant is narrow and not suitable for setting up stalls, so there are no people in the alley during the day, making it particularly quiet.

"Dumb monkey! Are you hiding in there? Come out now!"

"If you come out obediently, I will punish you lightly. If I catch you in person, I will let you experience the feeling of being dragged by a horse again!"

"Dumb monkey! Did you hear me? Get out of here!"

The alley is deep and few people walk there, so the ground is covered with weeds and moss, and there is a pungent, unpleasant smell.

The outsiders are so rude that they treat this sparsely populated place as an open-air toilet!

Ji Yue suppressed her nausea and avoided the moss at her feet, but she failed to avoid the cockleburs growing out of the corner. Seeing her beautiful dress stained by this evil thing, her face twisted with anger.

Just as he was about to yell, he suddenly felt a shadow moving behind him.

Ji Yue was so frightened that he turned back suddenly and took advantage of the situation to attack with the whip in his hand.

The horsewhip hit the opponent hard.

At the same time, she felt a chill on her neck.

The next moment, red blood mist gushed out in front of her eyes, covering her eyes, and then slowly fell down.

Ji Yue was dazed. He raised his hand and touched his neck, which felt wet and sticky.

...Is this...her blood...?

She tried to focus her gaze, and fixed it on the boy's calm face that was revealed after the blood mist descended.

He is very handsome and has beautiful eyes.

But those eyes looked at her at this moment, without a trace of emotion, quiet and deep, like stagnant water in a dry well.

The way he looked at her was like looking at a dead person.

He took the whipping in exchange for her life.

“You, you——” Ji Yue stared and fell forward.

Her porcelain-white face was pressed against the ground, with dirt and stench all before her eyes and at her nose, but she no longer had the strength to avoid it or curse.

Blood gushed out, instantly dyeing the ground red and spreading over the moss.

Yan Changhuai threw down the dagger in his hand, turned around and left coldly.

The back figure was thin and frail, with blades visible and a small part of the arm exposed from the sleeve, covered with bloodstains and scars of varying sizes.

"Second Prince, now that this matter is over, we can't delay any longer. We need to leave immediately."

There was another person following behind the young man, speaking in a low voice.

"My Lord is being followed and cannot come to see you off in person, so I asked my subordinates to pass on a message that Queen Lan Zhirong is vicious and cruel. After learning of your disappearance, she openly posted a missing person notice in an effort to find the Second Prince and eliminate the root of the problem!

The Emperor has always favored Fengyi Palace and turned a blind eye to what the Queen did. He will never stand up for you.

Yan Changqing and his mother are birds of a feather. They have never thought of rescuing you and cannot be trusted!

After all the hardships along the way, has the Second Prince not yet come to his senses? Is he still expecting the Da Rui royal family?

If it weren't for the Earl's diligent search, the Second Prince would have endured countless sufferings and humiliations!

Now, Lord Earl has risked his life to come to Buliu City to find a way out for the Second Prince. I hope that the Second Prince will understand his painstaking efforts and not continue to be depressed.

The expedition to the Bo Mansion is different now. The emperor has reduced the power of the Bo Mansion and has people following behind to collect evidence, destroy the Bo Mansion and the old meritorious official who led the troops to defend the border...

He has many constraints in his actions, and can't help you much. He can only give you fifty personal soldiers to protect you! In the future, everything depends on the Second Prince himself!

I hope that when the Second Prince returns one day, he will be an eagle in the desert!"

The young man did not react at all. He kept walking forward, looking ahead with eyes that were always empty and cold.

It was not until he left Buliu City and mounted his horse to head deep into the outside world that he turned his head to look in the direction of Da Rui.

It was evening, and the setting sun in the sky was as red as blood, making his eyes glow red.

If he is lucky enough to survive, he will ride his horse across the plains one day! Point his sword at Da Rui!

Hong Jing, Lan Zhirong, Yan Changqing...

wait for me!

……

The tenth day of October.

Wutong Academy was completed.

The sound of firecrackers at the foot of Shennv Mountain in Yuxi Village was like thunder.

"Congratulations on the official completion of Wutong Academy!"

"The prefect of Yuanzhou is here to congratulate you! He is sending you a set of top-grade purple wolf hair brushes!"

"The Magistrate of Ma County came to congratulate! He presented a gold and jade plaque!"

"The governor of Wutong Town is here to congratulate you! He is sending you a hundred sets of student uniforms!"

……

"A wealthy businessman from Yuanzhou came to congratulate us and presented us with a hundred book boxes!"

"A wealthy businessman from Hezhou came to congratulate us and presented us with ten boxes of books!"

"A wealthy businessman from Liangzhou came to congratulate and presented ten paintings with his name on them!"

……

Thousands of people came to watch the opening ceremony, and one wave after another came.

Many people came from other places and traveled long distances to watch the ceremony.

The first peak of Shennv Mountain is majestic.

A stone tablet was erected at the foot of the mountain and a gate pillar was built.

There are couplets engraved on the left and right sides of the door pier.

——The sun and the moon are the eyes of heaven and earth.

——Read thousands of books and learn the mind of sages.

To the gate, a stone path winds up the mountain. At the end of the path is Wutong Academy, halfway up the first peak.

Hidden among the green pines, looking up at the foot of the mountain, you can see white walls and black tiles in the distance, and a corner of the flying eaves.

The calligraphy is clear and profound.

Most of the common people have little university knowledge and cannot say nice things, but just by looking at it, as long as they know that this is a college, they will naturally feel awe in their hearts.

Different from the reverence for officials, one dares not to blaspheme the academy.

That is where their children will go to school in the future and where the teacher will teach and educate.

In the eyes of the people, academies are sacred.

The sound of firecrackers was like thunder, the applause was like thunder, and the cheers were like thunder.

Accompanied by the singing of congratulations, the atmosphere was filled with joy.

"So many people came to congratulate our Wutong Academy just after its completion. There are officials, wealthy businessmen, and people from all walks of life who have had their injustices redressed with the help of Mr. Xu... Oh my, we haven't even opened yet, but it's already famous all over the world, hahahaha!"

"Are you happy already? Just wait and see. The old Taoist counted on his fingers and the congratulations are not over yet."

"We've known each other for such a long time, and you're still trying to trick me like that. Be careful, the Three Pure Ones Buddha might get angry and refuse to acknowledge you as a Taoist disciple. Hey? Look over there! There's another one coming!"
