Don't go back to hometown

Chapter 4 This Life: Xie Cheng of Yangzhou Academy thinks there is something...

The morning light is dim, but the Jiang Mansion's martial arts training ground is full of swords, lights and swords.

The young man was dressed in a black costume with sleeves and waist, holding a long sword and wearing boots, and competed with a young man who was also dressed as a knife-wielding youth.

Jiang's father led Jiang Baizhou and his young apprentice Su He to watch the battle.

I saw the young man's steps were light, his figure was treacherous, his sword was fierce and changeable, he unleashed the sword skillfully, and used fast attack to control brute force, but with more than a hundred moves, he forced the strong young man with the sword to retreat steadily.

Then the blade of the sword grazed the blade and cut to the hilt. With a twist of the young man's wrist, the hilt hit the young man's wrist tendon, and the long knife fell from the young man's hand.

"it is good!"

Junior brother Su He was the first to applaud, his eyes sparkled, and he looked at Jiang Xianyu adoringly, "Third senior brother is amazing!"

The young man held his numb wrist and smiled heartily: "Brother's swordsmanship has improved a lot."

Jiang Xianyu put the sword back into its sheath, and cupped his hands towards the young man: "Let's make a deal, Brother Lei just asked me to make a deal."

Although Guo Lei is his younger brother, but he is two years older than his elder brother, Jiang Xianyu also called him "Brother".

Father Jiang originally wanted to find fault, so that Jiang Xianyu would not be complacent, but the other party's performance today was really remarkable, and Father Jiang couldn't help but wonder if he stole his teacher somewhere.

Jiang Xianyu's current skills are not all owned by a 17-year-old boy, but also the accumulation of his years of wandering in the rivers and lakes in his previous life. In the eyes of Jiang's father and others, isn't it just progress by leaps and bounds?

Even Jiang Baizhou on the side drew out his long knife eager to try: "Come on, let's do two tricks with big brother."

Junior brother Su He also quickly raised his hand: "I want it, I want it too!"

But Jiang Xianyu ran away: "If you don't come, you won't come! I have to go to the academy!"

Father Jiang looked at his figure, which was running faster than a rabbit, and couldn't help laughing and calling him a "skin monkey".

After leaving the martial arts training ground, Jiang Xianyu didn't go back to the house directly, but walked over the eaves and walls through several courtyards, and went straight to Xie's mansion next door.

He landed on the wall of Xiuzhu Courtyard, saw Xie Cheng's book boy Shimo carrying water into the house, and said loudly: "Shimo, is your young master awake yet?"

Shimo turned his head and saw him, with a very friendly smile, "I got up, and I'm about to wash up."

Jiang Xianyu: "Okay! Tell your young master not to eat breakfast, I will take him to Juxianlou."

Shimo: "Hey!"

Xie Cheng, who was reading in the room in the morning, heard the movement and opened the window, but only had time to catch a glimpse of Jiang Xianyu's back leaping off the wall.

His eyes fell on the wall, he frowned and fell into deep thought, and he didn't come back until Shimo called him.

It was different. This morning, which was the same as before, gave him a different feeling, as if something had changed since yesterday.

……

Jiang Xianyu went back to the house to take a bath, and changed into the white robe uniformly issued by the academy, but felt that the wide sleeves and trouser legs were in the way, so he put on green bamboo arrow sleeves made by his mother, and tucked the trouser legs into the boots, leaving only Robe for cover.

This nondescript dress has been scolded many times by the master, but it made Jiang Xianyu wear a sassy look different from ordinary scholars. Over time, some students followed suit, but the master had no choice but to let them go.

Jiang Xianyu finally got his hair cut, and put the homework he finished yesterday under Xie Cheng's guidance into his book pocket.

One must know that he had been away from home for many years in his previous life, and he had almost forgotten what he had learned as a teenager.If it weren't for Xie Cheng to help him, this homework would really be impossible to complete.

——It just made Xie Cheng so angry that he almost wondered if he only had Mi Tian in his mind——no, "The Legend of the Blind Man".

Hanging the little book pocket on the side of the saddle, Jiang Xianyu took the reins from the servant, and led the horse out of the Jiang residence.

Xie Cheng next door happened to bring the bookboy Shimo out.

He was wearing the same white robe as Jiang Xianyu, with long sleeves and a wide robe, with picturesque features, a bookish look, elegant and suave.

Jiang Xianyu hadn't seen this appearance for many years.

Five years later, Xie Cheng's facial features became more mature and upright, his eyebrows resembled the sharp edge of a sword, his eyes resembled a deep pool, hidden sharpness hidden in his restraint, his whole body was completely bookish, and when his face was dark and angry, he was quite frightening.

Xie Cheng like that seems to have tasted a lot of hardships, his eyes hide emotions that others can't see through, and even the corners of his lips are stingy.

Jiang Xianyu didn't want to see Xie Cheng like that.

He only wished that Xie Cheng's life would always be clear and bright, clear and suave, and never feel sad for him or be dragged down by him.

Jiang Xianyu smiled at Xie Cheng, stepped forward and pulled his wrist, "Let's go, if you go late, there will be no room."

Xie Cheng glanced at the grasped wrist, then saw Jiang Xianyu's usual smile on his lips, and then curled his lips——

It was him who had thought too much, but the young man was still unrestrained and unrestrained, as before.

……

The two of them ate the court food in Juxianlou as they wished, and then rode to the academy together.

Yangzhou Academy is on the edge of Slender West Lake and is the top academy in Yangzhou.Countless outstanding students study here, and Xie Cheng is one of the best.

He was selected as a scholar at the age of 13, and he was still the first name, which once caused a sensation in Yangzhou.

Uncle Xie and his master were worried that he was good at learning but unstable, and that he could not compare with those adult students, so they told him to concentrate on his studies and participate in Qiuwei again in August this year.

Jiang Xianyu is not very talented in reading. He barely got into Tongsheng two years ago, but he has not been a scholar until now. He is the chicken tail in the Tongsheng class of Yangzhou Academy.

However, he has a bright personality, righteousness, and high martial arts skills, which is admired by all the students who admire him, and his popularity is not bad.

Therefore, near the academy, many students greeted the two of them.

Some of them were particularly enthusiastic about Jiang Xianyu, and laughed when they saw him.

Jiang Xian responded joyfully, dismounted with Xie Cheng, and walked with the crowd.

Shimo took the reins from the two of them, and led them, together with his own pony, to the stables of the Academy.

Xie's family is a wealthy businessman with a big business. Even Xie Cheng's school boy is equipped with a horse, which makes many students envy.

Xie Cheng and Jiang Xianyu are not in the same class. When they separated at the classroom door, Jiang Xianyu waved to Xie Cheng: "Let's have lunch together."

Xie Cheng couldn't help laughing: I just know how to eat.

……

As soon as Jiang Xianyu entered the classroom, he heard someone calling his name.

"Xiao Yu!!!" The speaker stared at him with wide eyes, his expression extremely surprised.

Before Jiang Xianyu could react, the other party grabbed his arm and whispered, "I thought you weren't coming."

Jiang Xianyu recognized the other party's identity from his round and immature face——Tan Yunhan, his good friend in the academy, and the only person who knew his plan to leave home besides Xie Cheng.

After Jiang Xianyu died in his previous life, Tan Yunhan came to offer his condolences.After many years of separation, Yin and Yang were separated, Tan Yunhan, who is already a father, broke down in tears in front of Jiang Xian's remaining spirit.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xianyu's eyes were slightly hot, he patted Tan Yunhan's hand, and sighed: "It's okay, I won't go."

It seems that yesterday's embarrassing incident has not been spread to the academy, so he still has a bit of face in front of his friends.

Unexpectedly, Tan Yunhan showed a clear expression the next moment, and said regretfully, "Oh, I thought the rumors were false."

The expression on Jiang Xianyu's face froze: "... rumors?"

Tan Yunhan: "That's right, the whole academy is rumored that you were found running away from home yesterday, and your parents chased you down two streets with a knife. I also came to the academy this morning only to hear that you broke your arms and legs, I'm going to visit you at your house."

Jiang Xianyu: "..."

"Thank you, I'm fine."

Tan Yunhan grabbed his shoulder and patted him, "Let me just say, with your skill, you definitely won't be beaten standing up."

Jiang Xianyu looked at him with a smile: "Yun Han, have you done your homework?"

Tan Yunhan stared: "?!!"

"Is there still homework for Xiumu this time?"

Jiang Xianyu took out the copybook from his book pocket, "I'm done."

Tan Yunhan supported his shoulders and shook violently: "Say! Why are you studying behind my back?! Why don't we be cocktails together?"

"Not good!" Jiang Xianyu hugged his copybook, "I want to study with Xie Cheng."

Tan Yunhan's breath was stagnant, and he patted Jiang Xianyu's shoulder tremblingly, "Fish, if you want to be more open, let's not have this kind of dream, okay?"

Where is Xie Cheng who they can compare to?

Jiang Xianyu: "..."

He pressed the copybook against Tan Yunhan's mouth, "Shut up, no one can stop me from studying."

He went back to his seat and sat down, Tan Yunhan was sitting next to him, he didn't want to make up his homework, but pestered Jiang Xianyu to ask: "No, at the beginning of the year you said that it doesn't matter whether you take the exam or not, why did you suddenly change your mind?"

Jiang Xianyu: "It really doesn't matter." He just wanted to be with Xie Cheng.

Tan Yunhan didn't know what was going on in his mind, instead he guessed: "Then...do you want to take the martial arts exam?"

Jiang Xianyu was slightly taken aback, and suddenly remembered that in his previous life, he had really thought about taking the martial arts test, and asked Xie Cheng to accompany him to study the art of war for a while, but it was still nothing.

The Dacheng Dynasty did not take martial arts lightly. Not only could military examinations be used as officials, but even imperial examination students had to learn imperial archery. Yangzhou Academy also set up martial arts classes for this purpose.

Tan Yunhan seems to have seen the great future of his friend, "As the old saying goes, a great chivalrous man serves the country and the people. You have martial arts skills. It's a pity that you don't show off your skills. Although the world is peaceful now, joining the army is useless, but You can still enter Tianxin Mansion!"

"It is the dream of warriors in the world to become His Majesty's angelic envoy."

Jiang Xianyu was startled when he heard the words, and then chuckled: Tianxin Mansion is really not the place he should go.

Tianxin Mansion, also known as Sacred Heart Mansion, recruits warriors from all over the world and directly obeys the emperor's orders.Not only is the confidant of the emperor, it represents the emperor's heart and holy will downward, and it can also petition for the people upward, but it also holds the power of supervision and has an internal imperial prison. The power is even greater than that of Yushitai and Dali Temple.

Among the people, Tianxin Mansion has a high reputation for repeatedly solving strange cases and punishing corrupt officials.

Warriors all over the world are proud to enter Tianxin Mansion.

But Jiang Xianyu can't.

It's a pity that he couldn't explain the reason to Tan Yunhan, he just said: "You are right, but I don't want to."

Tan Yunhan became more and more confused, "Then what do you want to do?"

Jiang Xianyu blinked, and whispered: "I'll wait for Xie Cheng to become a high-ranking official, and take me to eat and drink spicy food."

Tan Yunhan choked, and then took Jiang Xianyu's hand: "Brother, take me!"

The teenager in the front row also turned his head: "Take me too! I'll do the math, this year Xie Cheng will win the first prize, and next year he will be the number one!"

Tan Yunhan laughed, "Wen Qing, can you still count? Then let me do the math, when will I be selected as a scholar?"

"You?" Wen Qing glanced at him, waved his index finger, and shook his head.

Tan Yunhan stared, stretched out his hand and stroked Wen Qing's head, the two of them were laughing, and suddenly heard a scolding——

"What's the noise!"
