There are twenty students at Xiaojiang Academy, generally between the ages of twenty and twenty-five.

There was no nine-year compulsory education in this era.

After studying in a private school, you can only enter the academy after your ability and knowledge meet certain standards.

The standard is to enter the academy after the age of fifteen. Of course, there are also people who are still in elementary school in their thirties.

It is mainly because although private schools can be entered at the age of eight, not everyone can enter private schools at this age. It is normal to enter private schools at the age of twenty or before the crown.

The students who went to Lancheng this time were all the best in the academy and their age was the most "normal".

Because in addition to "private schools", many scholars will also choose to travel to increase their knowledge during the period.

Reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles is not just a saying.

"Dean, where are we going? It seems not the way to Lancheng!" A student who always squinted his eyes came to Ning Changqing during the rest and asked.

In the distance, I was paying attention to the many students here.

"Have you lost the bet?" Ning Changqing glanced at him and said lightly: "So come and ask about the route?"

"No, I won!" the young man squinted his eyes and smiled. "Director, you said that if you are more capable than others, you must be more responsible than others! So I took the initiative to take on this important task!"

"You!" Ning Changqing was speechless. Are these words used here?

The young man in front of him was named Cao Gui, who was one of the most outstanding disciples in the academy.

He had traveled through the entire Izumo alone with a sword, and left a considerable reputation, and is still praised today.

If he has any shortcomings, he always likes to bet with others.

"Then guess, where are we going?" Ning Changqing said while stroking his beard, with the intention of taking the school exam in his eyes.

"You're going to meet with Yandao Academy... and then go to Pingdu!" Cao Gui replied without thinking.

"Tell me the reason!"

"Our academy and Yandao Academy have always had a good relationship. This time we walked together on the road, we could communicate with each other and prepare for the confrontation with several other major academies.

This should be the case whether it is from the relationship between our two academies or from the locations of our two academies.

However, if we want to join us and go to Lancheng, we should be joining us in Yujiang City. The route at this time is not to go to Yujiang.

Judging from the route at this time, we went to Yancheng not far from Yandao Academy.

Will they wait for us there?

Since we are joining in Yancheng, we will definitely not follow the normal route to Lancheng. Then we can only go to Pingdu, where there are a large number of tractors and trucks that can directly reach Lancheng.

However, Yujiang City is located on the route from Pingdu to Lancheng, so it is better to save time to go there.

Then there must be other reasons when we go to Pingdu!" Cao Gui smiled.

"Continue!" Ning Changqing listened to his analysis, although he felt a little relieved, it was a pleasure to have such a student in the academy.

However, his hobby will sooner or later cause him a great loss.

"There are many reasons to go to Pingcheng.

First, we met with other academies and went to Lancheng together, but the dean has not mentioned it yet. I guess this is not the reason.

Moreover, Lancheng would not want us to communicate enthusiastically first when we are in Ping.

The most exciting thing should be left in front of everyone.

Second, when we went to the Protectorate Mansion, someone escorted us to Lancheng... As far as I know, the security of Pingdu and Lancheng is very good all the way to Lancheng, and the security of Lancheng is much better than before, so there should be no need to be such trouble.

Third, the dean was afraid that we students had unrealistic thoughts, so he took us to Pingdu first to see how the people of Pingdu, under the rule of the Protectorate, live and work in peace, so as not to cause any trouble to the academy in the future after getting Lancheng.

fourth……"

Ning Changqing listened to Cao Guiyang's analysis, and his expression remained unmoved, which made the other party unaware of whether he had guessed correctly.

"I have said all the six most likely possibilities, so can the dean solve our doubts?" Cao Guiyi said six things in a row before he paused and asked instead.

"Which do you think it is?" Ning Changqing continued to take the school exam.

"I don't think any one is wrong!"

Ning Changqing was slightly stunned. Since none of them were true, you have analyzed six more?

"Intuition tells me, it's not!" Cao Gui knocked on his head. "As a person who likes to bet, my intuition has always been very sharp!"

"Then you will know when you arrive. Keep guessing along the way." Ning Changqing suddenly smiled at him like a child.

"Thank you, Dean!" Cao Gui clasped his fists at Ning Changqing.

Ning Changqing was slightly stunned. Did Cao Gui give up so easily?

"I bet with them... the dean won't tell me!" Cao Gui laughed and turned around and waved to everyone behind him.

"Well!" Everyone cheered.

"You kid..." Ning Changqing couldn't laugh or cry, and he actually became his gambling tool.

"But I'm really curious about the reason, so I'll wait and see what's going on!" Cao Gui bowed to Ning Changqing before leaving.

...

One day later, everyone from Xiaojiang Academy gathered at Yandao Academy.

"Director Yan Shu, I haven't seen you for a long time." Ning Changqing greeted the president of Xiaojiang Kuaishou.

Students from the two colleges also greeted each other.

"My brother Yan Ruosui, I have met you guys from Xiaojiang Academy.

These are classmates..." The one who welcomed us was a very enthusiastic young man, or a young man, who introduced him to everyone in Xiaojiang Academy.

"I'm polite!" Everyone in Xiaojiang Academy clasped their fists, their attitudes being perfunctory, but they couldn't say they were so enthusiastic.

The reason is naturally because of what is mentioned above.

"This time I am so lucky to be able to go to Lancheng with you from Xiaojiang Academy. I can't say that I have to bother you and listen to your brothers' high opinions." Yan Ruosui didn't care about the other party's performance at all, and was still extremely enthusiastic.

"Brother Ma, let's make a bet. Guess if he is under this passion, and I wish I could step on us." Behind the crowd, Cao Gui patted the shoulders of an ugly boy with a nose that was soaring to the sky, his eyes were small, and acne-faced face, and whispered to his ear.

"The two people guess the same option, and the bet cannot be established." The ugly boy's eyes flashed and he snorted.

Yandao Academy is also a well-known academy in Izumo, with a style similar to Xiaojiang Academy.

The founder of Yandao Academy studied under Xiaojiang Academy, so he also instilled his style into Yandao Academy.

With some other relationships, the relationship between the two academies is also good.

But this does not mean that the relationship between the students of the two academies will be good...

Yandao Academy can be said to be the lowest replacement of Xiaojiang Academy.

For many people, whether it is students studying or others, the primary goal is naturally Xiaojiang Academy, and the second priority is Yandao Academy.

Therefore, for many students of Yandao Academy, they always feel that they are inferior to Xiaojiang Academy.

On the surface, Yandao Academy is very supportive of Xiaojiang Academy, but how many students think about it is another matter.

At least, the heart of comparison is certainly there.

"That might be..." Cao Gui smiled faintly. "Or guess?"

"What is the bet?" Ma Hualong said.

"A drink at Yunyanlou!"

"Yunyan Building in Pingdu?"

"Yunyan Tower in Lancheng!"

"Then I'm disrespectful! He must have other plans in his stomach. As long as he finds an opportunity, he will step on our heads and show it to others. I heard that there is a genius in Yandao Academy, whose surname is Yan, should it be him? Remember, a drink at Yunyanlou!" Ma Hualong laughed.

Cao Gui chuckled: "Then I guess another possibility!"

After saying that, he took three steps forward. "Brother Yan, how are you doing lately?"

"Brother Cao, I saw you before. Seeing that you didn't react, I thought you had forgotten me!" Yan Ruosui was overjoyed and greeted him: "I'm thinking about finding an opportunity to talk to my brother in detail later! If it weren't for my brother last time, I would be in danger. I would also like to thank my brother for helping me!"

"You're welcome. When you are traveling outside, you can't sit idly by if you encounter such a thing!" Cao Gui turned his head and smiled at Ma Hualong, making the other party's face turn dark.

He fell into his trap, and the two of them actually met!

And seeing this, Cao Gui saved him!
