Accompanied by Jiao Shun, Wang Zhe had left the podium for a long time, but there were still many work-study students gathered in small groups on the playground.

Although Jiao Shun's approach of confronting Wang Zhe in the end gave the work-study students some confidence, under the subtle guidance of the past, most people firmly believe that Jiao Jijiu will lead everyone from one victory to another.

However, their trust in Jiao Jijiu did not affect their extreme indignation and vigilance towards Xinru's attempt to come and pick peaches.

Near the rostrum, a burly work-study student clenched his fists and gritted his teeth: "Odd sayings say, 'Every time a dog is slaughtered for righteousness, a scholar will be betrayed.' Master Jijiu worked hard and suffered so much ridicule and obstruction, so good

It was easy to find a way for us work-study students, but in the end, shameless intellectuals came to pick peaches!"

He said, shaking his fist fiercely: "We must not let them succeed in this matter, otherwise the benefits will be taken away by the pickers, and how will we have a way to survive in the future?!"

"That's not the case."

As soon as he finished speaking, a lazy voice said lazily: "What they want is a high-ranking official who can sit on a horse and ride on a horse. If you give it to others for free, they may not be able to take it seriously.

"

"you……"

The burly young man from before had his eyes widened and was about to get angry, but he heard this man say again: "Besides, we are still a year and a half away from graduation. Even if we want to fight, it is not our turn to come forward."

As he said this, the man said to the instructors and assistant teachers who were chatting in the corner: "Look, the gentlemen are not in a hurry yet, so what's the use of being anxious here?"

The burly young man looked over there and felt a little discouraged unconsciously.

It stands to reason that the New Confucian school came to pick peaches this time. The one who had the greatest impact was neither Jiao Shun, the work-study student, nor the work-study students who had not yet graduated, but it was precisely these tame students who had the eighth rank and graduated from the eighth rank official body.

Guides, classics, and great craftsmen.

After all, they are the ones most qualified to achieve honorary titles.

But it is these people who are the calmest at the moment.

The burly young man was filled with anger that he refused to argue, but he was also worried about the identity of the other party's teacher and could not say anything.

The depressed black face turned green and his chest heaved when he suddenly heard another person sneer: "They have been in the officialdom for a long time and have been teased by the literati. They have already lost their ambition. How can they still dare to compete with the new Confucians? If they want to support us,

The only hope for engineering students is to rely on Jiaojijiu and us working-study students!"

These words were really encouraging, causing the burly young man to nod his head in agreement.

There were many people around who agreed, which made the sneer secretly proud. This person's name was Xu Dabao. His family had been working for a living for generations, and he was considered well-established in this engineering field.

Although his name is a little rustic, his ambition is not small. He wants to imitate Shen Jun, the top student in the second period, and become the undisputed core among the more than 800 students in the third period.

Of course, he is still far away from achieving this goal. At least in terms of performance, he can't compare to Sun Wang next to him - the person who just said the weird words.

Sun Wang was a slave sent by a certain royal merchant to give birth to a child. He had always been sleepy and lazy since he entered school. He even dozed off during class, but he came first in the end-of-month assessment the next time.

For this reason, he was regarded as the biggest competitor by Xu Dabao. Now that his words were recognized by everyone, Xu Dabao couldn't help but look sideways at Sun Wang, but saw Sun Wang with his hands behind his head, looking at forty-five.

He looked up at the sky, as if he was in a trance.

Hum~

Xu Dabao sneered secretly, thinking that no matter how good he was in the exams, what's the use? Isn't it useless at critical moments?

At the moment, he encouraged with confidence: "Although we are not yet qualified to compete with those sour men, our senior brothers who already have official positions may not have no chance!"

After hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement. Although the senior brothers could only be in the ninth rank at most, it all depends on people. What's more, isn't there the support of Lord Jijiu above?

The burly young man was the most impatient, and immediately asked everywhere: "Did anyone see Senior Brother Shen just now?"

If there is a person that the students of the third term admire the most, it is undoubtedly Senior Brother Shen Jun, who was the number one in the previous term.

However, after hearing his question, everyone shook their heads.

Xu Dabao also hesitated and said: "Senior Brother Shen seems to have been away from engineering studies these days."

Immediately, he raised his arms and said: "But it doesn't matter. Isn't this the first issue of Senior Brother Dong Xun and Dong?"

"Forget it."

Sun Wang suddenly spoke at this time: "Senior Brother Dong was following Mr. Wangge and Mr. Jijiu just now. I was afraid that he would not be able to get away for a while."

Even Xu Dabao was a little frustrated now.

Although there are still two officials in the engineering school, Li Qing and Niu Siyuan, who were born as work-study students, everyone obviously does not think that these two people can represent the old students.

Just when everyone was hesitating whether to postpone the discussion, Sun Wang suddenly stepped out of the playground.

Seeing this, Xu Dabao subconsciously asked: "Sun Wang, what are you going to do?"

Sun Wang turned back slowly: "Don't you want to find Senior Brother Shen? Just follow me."

With that said, he walked towards the exit of the playground again.

Everyone behind them looked at each other in confusion. In the end, the burly young man with a straight face was the first to catch up. Everyone saw this and followed him.

Xu Dabao was the last one to follow. Along the way, he asked Sun Wang unwillingly where he was going to find Senior Brother Shen, but Sun Wang just smiled and didn't answer.

In this way, everyone followed him out of the west corner gate of the Engineering School. They saw Sun Wang standing still and raising his hand towards the other side of the street. Soon a carriage came out of the alley opposite and stopped steadily across the road.

In front of everyone.

Sun Wang, who was familiar with the road behind the detour, grabbed the carriage and climbed on the bus. Then he put his head out and waved to everyone: "Don't be stunned, hurry up and get on the bus."

Only then did everyone wake up from a dream, and climbed into the carriage with some restraint.

Although this carriage was not very gorgeous, it was obviously not something that ordinary work-study students could afford. For a moment, everyone looked at Sun Wang with a mysterious look.

Xu Dabao felt more and more suffocated and wanted to find out more about it, but he was afraid that Sun Wang would take the opportunity to brag, which would backfire in the end.

So I could only think suspiciously in my heart, this guy can easily summon a carriage, could it be that he is the illegitimate son of the imperial merchant?

wrong!

This guy's fair skin must be someone else's favorite boy!

After thinking this way, Xu Dabao gradually became calmer.

Sun Wang opened the front window and stuck his head out to exchange a few words with the coachman, and then the carriage left the inner and outer city and sped towards a remote place.

Although Xu Dabao and others did not think that Sun Wang would harm them, they could not help but feel a little nervous when they saw that the carriage was going further and further away.

Just when someone wanted to ask about the destination of their trip again, they suddenly heard crackling sounds in front of them, as if someone was frying beans in the distance.

The closer you get, the louder the sound becomes.

Someone curiously opened the car window and looked around, and saw a large military camp at the end of the originally deserted road.

"Why did you come to the barracks?"

Some people murmured in confusion.

"Why is Senior Brother Shen in the barracks?"

Some people couldn't help but question it.

But Sun Wang turned a deaf ear and kept leaning on the carriage with his eyes closed to meditate.

It wasn't until the carriage was stopped by a sentry in front of the military camp, who shouted loudly and asked why he was here, that Sun Wang suddenly jumped up, quickly jumped out of the car and said loudly: "Master, don't get me wrong, we are here to see Senior Brother Chen!"

Senior Brother Chen?

Everyone in the car was a little confused. Didn't they come to see Senior Brother Shen Jun? Why did Senior Brother Chen show up again?

Just at this time, I heard Sun Wang explain again: "It's Chen Wansan and Chen Jianxiao."

Only then did Xu Dabao and others suddenly realize.

It's no wonder that they didn't think of Chen Wansan for a moment. In fact, for more than a year, Chen Wansan had hardly appeared in the engineering school. Everyone had only heard of his name but never met him.

Xu Dabao couldn't help crying: "How did Sun Wang know Senior Brother Chen?"

Although Shen Jun is the role model in everyone's mind, as for the senior brother who has the most trust from Lord Jijiu and holds the most power, it is definitely Chen Wansan.

At this time, Sun Wang greeted everyone and got out of the car.

When the officers and soldiers blocking the road saw that they were all wearing the same uniform, they asked, "Are you all engineering students?"

Sun Wang apologized and said with a smile: "Master Mingjian, if we are not working-study students, how can we dare to falsely call Senior Brother Chen?"

Several officers and soldiers guarding the gate exchanged glances upon hearing this, and one of them said: "Wait here, don't move around."

After saying that, he turned around and went inside to report.

During this period, Xu Dabao wanted to ask Sun Wang several times where he met Senior Brother Chen, but he was afraid of showing his timidity in front of those Qiu Ba.

Just as he was hesitating, he saw a black-faced and green-robed official coming out quickly. After scanning the crowd, he said suspiciously: "You are all in the third period, right? Why are you looking for me?"

Doesn’t this mean you don’t know each other at all?!

Xu Dabao and others were greatly embarrassed and looked at Sun Wang angrily.

Sun Wang, on the other hand, calmly raised his hands and said, "Sun Wang, a third-term working-study student, has met Senior Brother Chen. We came here from the Engineering Study because we have something important to discuss with Senior Brother Chen and Senior Brother Shen."

Chen Wansan looked suspicious: "How did you know that Shen Jun and I were here?"

Sun Wang smiled and answered the question: "Early this morning, Mr. Wang Ge personally came to inspect the engineering school and preached some New Confucianism in public."

Having said this, he stopped at the right time.

Chen Wansan stared at him with a straight face for a long time, and finally said, "Come in with me."
