? It was raining and the carriage struggled along the muddy road.
"Uncle Liu, do we in the Yunqin Empire have flying swords? Are there any fairies?
Lin Xi in the carriage held his head and looked at the white-haired old man who had temporarily retreated in a corner of the carriage and asked earnestly.
Because there was no such assassination at all, and Lin Xi appeared polite all the way, the old driver was relatively gentle towards him, and did not show the iron blood coming from the sea of corpse mountain and blood again. But at this moment, hearing Lin Xi's words, the benevolent and old man, who was very peaceful before, became angry for no reason.Lin Xi, don't forget your father's explanation." Don't talk such nonsense out of Lulin Town. You've asked me this sentence no less than 30 times in the last ten days or so. If you were in the imperial city of Zhong Zhou (a name of place ), you might have been sent to prison.
"for just saying something like that, you'll be sent to jail?" Lin Xi was surprised on the outside, but he was secretly laughing in his heart. more than ten days after the assassination, the old man surnamed Liu had already been classified by him as the same person as his mother in this world, with a stern appearance but a soft heart. As long as he doesn't cross the old man's bottom line, he won't show his dangerous side at all.
"I'm tired." The old man's face froze, uttered three words dryly, and simply closed his eyes. Lin Xi's attitude made him helpless. In the face of such a polite and weak young man, it was impossible for him to beat those talkative new barbarians directly like in the border army because of his impatience.
"Uncle Liu, since you promised my father to take good care of me, you don't want to cause trouble because of my mess. And halfway through the journey, although I have seen a lot of scenery along the way, I still know nothing about Qingluan College. You should at least tell me something about Qingluan College. But Lin Xi's low voice still passed into his ears.and, for so many days, if you don't tell me, I'll be bored to death, and then I'll be sick even if I'm not sick."
Hearing the first half of Lin Xi's words, the eyebrow of the old man with his eyes closed was frowned again, but when he heard the second half of the sentence, a touch of coldness in his heart disappeared as his brow stretched out.
Yes, this is just an ordinary weak teenager who has never been out of Lulin Town. Although it makes him feel very strange, he is not familiar with the elite of the border army who can march in a dangerous place for more than ten days without saying a word.
As a matter of fact, even in the border army, the most unacceptable punishment for the barbarians was not the whipping of a python, but being locked up alone in the dark room for half a month, and the size of the dark room was about the size of the carriage.
It suddenly occurred to him that in the past ten days or so, the performance of this young man from the Fujia family in Lulin town had really exceeded his expectations except for a little more strange words. Even if he passed the lodging ground, even if it was just a shop on the grass, the pampered teenager did not complain, and even if he could only eat the hard noodles with tasteless cold water, the teenager seemed to be in high spirits.
"could it be that that dignitary, only for a short time, saw this kind of potential in him, and that's why he was recommended to go to Qingluan College for the examination?" When he woke up, the old man's body shook slightly, and with the sound of the carriage canopy, Rain Water, which was accumulated in many corners, was shaken down.
There was a moment of silence in the carriage.
The old man, with gray hair and wrinkles on his face like a knife engraved with wind and frost, looked at the teenager on the opposite side.
The teenager's eyes are clear and bright, full of curiosity and expectation.
Two gray old horses walked slowly on the muddy road, and on both sides of the road happened to be a large bamboo forest, with spring rain rustling and bamboo shoot tips drilled out against the wet mud, as green and lively as Lin Xi.
"Why do you like to talk nonsense?" The old man relaxed, stretched his legs and adjusted to the most comfortable sitting position.
Lin Xi looked at the old man who had obviously been softened by him, and suddenly felt a little excited. The world was still completely new to him. He was like a traveler and was more curious about anything.
"it's not really nonsense." He looked at this old man who obviously had a lot of stories and smiled and said that I had read many interesting books in which some powerful characters could fly swords and take heads thousands of miles away, and they could also hide from the sky and move mountains to fill the sea. And although I have never been out of Lulin Town, and there are not many knowledgeable people in Lulin Town, there must be a lot of danger on our way through half of the Yunqin Empire. Not long ago, I heard my father say that a caravan in Ludongling had been robbed by thieves. Since you dare to lead me on the road alone, and you don't see any worry and tension on your face, and you seem to be very familiar with the road, I think you must also be the kind of expert in the story. That's why I asked you that.
The old man was stunned.
A few absurd words, in Lin Xi's mouth, the truth is so clear.
"you are very clever." The old man took a fresh look at Lin Xi and shook his head.it turns out that there are only too many fairy books that are crazy and want to write randomly."
"Liu Bo means that there is no such person in the world who can fly swords, have amazing magic, and move mountains and fill the sea."
"Yes?" Lin Xi was stupefied, and his mouth opened wide.if you fly a sword, how far can you fly?" How many people in our Yunqin Empire can do that?
"the weak stop at a hundred steps, and the strong take a thousand steps to kill. I don't know how many people in the whole Yunqin empire can do it, but very few. The old man mused,I have only seen three such strong men."
"A thousand steps, that's very good, too." Lin Xi muttered to himself. Even if it is only a hundred steps, the existence of flying swords is enough for him to redefine the world.
"what about you, Liu Bo? Can you use a flying sword? After a few words, Lin Xi looked up at the old man and asked earnestly.
"of course I can't, or I'll drive here honestly." The old man also answered this sentence seriously, and immediately the young and old thought the conversation was a little funny, but they couldn't help laughing.
"what kind of place is Qingluan College?" The laughter ceased, and Lin Xi looked at the old man and asked for advice.
"to put it simply, it is a place to teach what you call a strong man with a flying sword to a great man." Hearing the words Qingluan College, the old man's face was obviously dignified and respectful.now at least half of the important figures in our Yunqin empire come from Qingluan College."
Lin Xi's mouth grew up, but he was speechless for a moment, and he was extremely shocked in his heart.
Although the old man who came with the carriage that day had pointed out that as long as he could enter Qingluan College, he would at least get a half-official position, and the official position would never be low, but he had no idea that Qingluan College would be such a place. The world seems to be becoming more and more interesting.
Lin Xi was stunned for a moment, exhaled, looked at the old man and asked Uncle Liu if you could be more specific.
"except for the people from Qingluan College, no one knows much about Qingluan College, but to be honest, Qingluan College is not something that people like me can comment on. Moreover, except for the people who really come out of Qingluan College and the big shots in the Imperial City of Zhong Zhou (a name of place ), everyone else doesn't know much about Qingluan College, so don't mention to anyone what I said about Qingluan College today. Otherwise, it is likely to cause unprovoked trouble for you and me. The old man glanced at Lin Xi and his face became more dignified.
"good." Lin Xi nodded definitely.
"Qingluan College has not been particularly strong among the three Imperial Colleges in recent years, but it is the oldest college in our Yun-Qin Empire, and were it not for the figure like Dean Zhang of Qingluan College 50 years ago, our Yunqin Empire may not have such a large territory today." The old man mused slightly, his eyes flashed, and it was clear that there was a great risk in the export of these words, but Lin Xi's performance still let him say it.
"there are also Sainichi College and Thunder College." The old man nodded.I just told you that half of the most important figures in our Yunqin empire are from Qingluan College, and the other half …" Most of them come from these two colleges.
Lin Xi asked, are there any differences among the three colleges?
The old man glanced at Lin Xi.except for the people from these three colleges, no one knows much about these three colleges, because as soon as the students of these three colleges come out, they are already equivalent to the level of town governor." And most of them will soar, which can be understood by ordinary small potatoes like us. But you don't have to worry about that. if you do get into Qingluan College, you will know very well.
"going in and out is equivalent to the mayor?" Such an idea came to Lin Xi's mind.
To him, the mayor and the governor are just different in terms of address, but in fact there is not much difference.
"since these three colleges are so good, will you let me go? Liu Bo, who asked me to go? Between the flashing eyes of Lin Xi, he looked at the old man and asked.
"if I don't answer your question, you may still bother me along the way, but I can honestly tell you that I don't have the answer to your question either, because the average person is not qualified to take the admission test of these three colleges at all. I am also curious about the identity of the distinguished person who has the ability to recommend you to take the admission test of Qingluan College, but that person's status must be very high, so … .
"so we'd better not speculate and stay out of this, otherwise we can't figure out what the expensive person has in mind, and if it makes people unhappy, we may have a lot of bad luck." Before the old man had finished his words, Lin Xi smiled, stuck out his tongue, and went on.
The old man was stunned, but he did not smile and nodded.I'm glad you understand that."
There was a silence in the carriage, except for the sound of spring rain falling on the carriage.
"Uncle Liu..." Suddenly, Lin Xi called out to the old man.
