After leaving the palace, Jing Yi first sent Brother Chun to Liu's side and talked with Liu for a while before returning to Taoranju.

The letter she gave Xiao Ting was only one page, and she briefly explained a few interesting stories about the Liu family's mother and son. One page of paper was stacked into copper coins and only a small piece. Xiao Ting's copper coins letter, just looking at the thickness, may take three or four pages. Sitting by the window and looking at the thick "copper coins" in his hand, Jing Yi couldn't think of what Xiao Ting said.

Carefully disassembled it, and there were indeed four pages of paper.

However, when Jing Yi saw Xiao Ting's sloppy words that could match her two, he quickly felt relieved.

Xiao Ting used two pages of paper to apologize to her, saying that there were too many girls who like Xiao Yu, so he couldn't help but think about it. After apologizing, he praised her for being ambitious, and was definitely not an ordinary woman. After praising her, he apologized for her... Jing Yi simply scanned it and skipped it. At the end of the second page, he saw the three words "Protector of the Country".

On the third page, the first half describes how Xiao Ting recognized the Duke of the Kingdom, and the second half explains the Wei Duo. Seeing this, Jing Yi couldn't help but recall that on New Year's Eve, she came back from Ci'an Palace and passed by the Imperial Garden. She seemed to hear something strange, but she didn't care and led Minghu back directly. Could it be that Wei Duo was hiding there at that time, doing something secret that could not be known to outsiders?

Jing Yi didn't know what attitude to treat Wei Duo, but since Wei Duo defected to his grandfather, let's do it for the time being. After reading this page again, Jing Yi finally picked up the fourth page, and the full page was full of Xiao Ting, reminding her to be careful when practicing martial arts...

Are you afraid that she will hurt his body?

Thinking of Xiao Tingbai's tender and delicate body a month ago, Jing Yi smiled helplessly, and then burned all four pages of letters to avoid leaving behind the letters and making the people real in the future.

~

At the end of February, the Xu Mansion closed the door and no longer accepted new children to register. The next day, thousands of young children who had registered before, whether from nobles or ordinary people, gathered on the martial arts training ground of the Duke of the People's Mansion.

Jing Yi is also among them.

In the first level, Xu Guang personally checked everyone's qualifications. Xu Guang stood on the competition stage with his hands behind his back. Everyone below lined up to step forward one after another. Xu Guang never spoke, pinched his shoulders and fingers, and then kicked his calf. He nodded, and the person being examined could stay, shake his head, and the person being examined was defeated.

I came here early in the morning and it was Jing Yishi's turn, and it was already noon.

"General Xu." Jing Yi saluted respectfully, not calling the Duke this time.

Xu Guang looked at the tall, wide-shaped young man with a narrow shoulders and a surprise flashed through his eyes and turned his head to look at the butler on the roster. Didn’t he say that the third son of the Xiao family is a playboy? This person is not a playboy, did he get the wrong person?

The butler looked innocent, lowered his head, and drew his fingers on the roster. It was indeed the third young master's turn.

"Are you the third young master?" the butler asked cautiously.

Jing Yi nodded.

The housekeeper looked at Xu Guang again.

Xu Guang suddenly understood why his granddaughter was so obsessed with the third child of the Xiao family. This bastard did have a good idea to provoke women. When the young man stood in front of him, Xu Guang made a little more effort than before. However, Jing Yifei was so spoiled by Xiao Zheng a month ago that she was so stingy that she felt unbearable. She stabilized her lower plate, her face was calm, and her shoulders still hurt, but this level was no longer worth making a fuss.

Using a gun requires flexible shoulders and hands. After checking these two things, Xu Guang kicked Jing Yi at the calf without warning.

Jing Yi was prepared early, and his body remained motionless and stood like a pine tree.

Xu Guang nodded and looked at the next one, as if Jing Yi was no different from other people who passed the test.

At the end of the first level, there were only a hundred people left in the martial arts training field.

Xu Guang stood on the high platform, looking at the people below, especially those in the gorgeous clothes, suddenly smiled and pointed to the abandoned Duke of the Kingdom behind him and said, "Since you are here to become a disciple, you should show some sincerity. The house is full of weeds, and I can't do it anymore. You are all young. Let's pull weeds for me now. Two hours later, according to the weeds in your hands, the top 20 will participate in tomorrow's third level competition."

As soon as he finished speaking, someone rushed to the National Justice Academy to pull out the weeds first.

Some people took the lead, and more people followed him and ran over.

Jing Yi didn't move, looked around and found a ox cart idle on the left side of the wheat field. With an idea, she immediately walked towards Xu Guang, but her figure moved. A short figure next to her suddenly rushed over before her, and said to Xu Guang with a crisp voice: "Grandpa Xu, can you lend me your ox cart?"

Xu Guang lowered his head and recognized that the child was Tan Shitong, the youngest son of Lord Tan, the Minister of Rites. He was ten years old this year and was also the youngest among the people who have stayed there.

"Yes." Xu Guang said lightly.

Tan Shitong smiled happily, turned around and saw Jing Yi, who was closest to him. The boy turned his eyes and called Jing Yi: "You and my group, let's pull the weeds together, and finally divide them equally." It's not enough to have a car alone, he has to find someone to be a bodyguard for him, protect his ox cart from being stolen, and help him pull more grass.

Jing Yi likes the intelligence of boys and nods in agreement.

When Xu Guang saw this, he said coldly: "You can borrow a car, but you can't borrow a cow."

Jing Yi's pace remained unchanged, but Tan Shitong was worried. His big eyes turned and he looked at another one, "Do you want to be with us?"

He chose a very tall man with a cold and serious face, half a head taller than Jing Yi, wearing a gray silk robe, and he was also from a rich family. Jing Yi saw that he was a little kind-faced, and carefully recalled the name reported by the housekeeper, and slowly remembered it. This person was the second son of Chen Yao, the Minister of War, Chen Gongjin, this year's eighteenth.

Chen Gongjin looked at them one by one, one by one, and then looked at the only ox cart, and agreed.

The three of them walked towards the ox cart together, but when they arrived, the problem came again. They were all rich families and didn't know how to remove the ox. Tan Shitong was afraid of being pushed by the ox, so he hid behind Jing Yi and did not dare to go over. Jing Yi asked him to stand far away. She and Chen Gongjin looked at the ox cart left and right, tried several times, and successfully led the ox out and tied it to the wooden stake next to it.

"I'll come first." Chen Gongjin glanced at Jing Yi's body, which was smaller than him, and took the initiative to walk to the position of a cow.

Jing Yi called him, held the handlebar on the left with one hand, and said to Chen Gongjin: "It may be easier to pull one side by one." Although a man is not careful about the details, if there is a more decent way to pull the cart, Jing Yi does not want to replace the livestock.

Chen Gongjin looked at her, walked around to the other side, and held the handlebar.

The two of them looked at each other and exerted force at the same time. The back seat of the ox cart immediately raised up. The ox cart was very heavy and it was difficult to drag, but there was no other way at this time. Tan Shitong looked at the two big men, he smiled, suddenly jumped into the car, and became the young master again.

Jing Yi laughed, and Chen Gongjin didn't bother with a child either.

Two big and one small person pulled the ox cart to the main courtyard where weeds were full of weeds, which immediately attracted envious gaze. No matter how many weeds a person pulls out, the grass that can be picked up with his arms is limited. Some people have found waste wooden barrels smartly, but they are not as good as those installed by ox carts.

"Wow, you are still smart. Why didn't I expect to borrow a car first?" In a jealous sight, a loud voice suddenly came from the corner of the right wall. Jing Yi turned around and was shocked to see a strong man with a burly body that was even more burly than the second young master Xiao Fan. Next to the strong man, there were already a pile of hay piles.

Facing the simple look of a strong man who only envys and does not want to form a gang, Jing Yi looked at Tan Shitong and Chen Gongjin one after another.

"Call him here too?" Tan Shitong discussed in a low voice, his eyes bright.

Jing Yizheng had this intention, and Chen Gongjin became the invitation.

Hu Wu, who was born in a farmer, also joined in.

In this way, the four of them shared a ox cart. They chose the place and pulled out weeds at the same time, pulling out one place and fighting for another land. The ox cart was full, and Hu Wu jumped into the car to trample the weeds, pulled out the grass and continued to throw it up. Two hours later, the red sun was about to set, and the four of them were covered with grass juice. Although Tan Shitong was small, he was very hard-working and did not be lazy for a moment.

Jing Yi's face was covered with dirt, she knew, but looking at her fellow mates, she enjoyed it.

They pulled the most grass and successfully entered the third level.

"I will go to Hutou Mountain tomorrow morning, I won't be able to ride a horse. Who will take me a ride?" After leaving Xu's mansion, Tan Shitong asked Jing Yi and Chen Gongjin with worry. The third level was in Hutou Mountain, and he had to ride a horse. Tan Shitong didn't want his family to send him away, for fear of being laughed at.

Jing Yi has only learned how to ride a horse recently and dare not take people to ride with him rashly.

"I'll ride a donkey. It would be nice if our donkey can carry me alone." Hu Wu touched his head and said honestly.

"I'll take you." Chen Gongjin said immediately.

Han Shitong smiled and thanked, and the four of them agreed to gather at the South City Gate tomorrow morning and go to Hutou Mountain together.

The next day at the foot of Hutou Mountain, after Jing Yi and twenty people gathered together on time, Xu Guang's housekeeper pointed to the top of Hutou Mountain and said, "The master said that the three people who arrived at the top of the mountain are qualified to be teachers. Let's set off now!"

Ten-year-old Tan Shitong heard this and turned to Jing Yi and the other two with a bitter face, "You guys go first, I..."

"What are you saying? Go up the mountain first. If you can't walk, your brother will carry you." Hu Wu patted the boy's shoulder with a cheerful smile.

Tan Shitong threw himself into the man's arms, praised Hu Wu for being kind, and then secretly wiped away his tears.

The four of them were on the same road, but the mountain road was difficult to walk, so they had to beware of being caught up by the people behind them. Halfway through, except for Tan Shitong, who was protected by Hu Wu, Jing Yi and the other three were injured. Jing Yi's face was cut by a branch, and the wound was not deep, but blood was already seen.

"Can you keep up?" When he encountered a steep slope, Chen Gongjin turned around and stretched out his hand towards Jing Yi who was falling at the end.

Jing Yi hesitated for a moment, accepted his help, stood firm, she wiped the sweat from her forehead and nodded.

Hu Wu was strong, as if he had endless strength, and he was also relaxed with Tan Shitong on his back. Chen Gongjin was originally a martial arts practitioner. If he had to take care of Jing Yi, he might have surpassed Hu Wu long ago. Only Jing Yi was only. Although he had been practicing hard for a month, he was not as strong as others for many years. The closer he was to the top of the mountain, the more tired he felt.
