Qin Xiao entered the academy and followed the path in his memory.

He remembered that the Master lived near a bamboo forest in the academy and there was a small pond. The last time he saw the Master, the Master was fishing by the pond.

On the way, I sometimes meet students from the academy, but the students here are very calm. Even if they see strangers, they don't take it seriously and just nod as a greeting.

Qin Xiao now naturally knows that the Academy is actually a very powerful force, hidden in Kyoto, but not known to everyone.

However, walking in the academy, you really can't feel that this is a place full of masters, let alone imagine that there is a great master here.

People who can enter the academy seem to be able to walk around the academy at will. Qin Xiao came all the way to the bamboo forest without anyone blocking him on the way.

However, there was no trace of the Master by the pond. Qin Xiao walked to the small wooden house and saw that the doors and windows of the wooden house were open. The situation inside the house could be seen at a glance. He did not dare to go in without authorization, but when he looked in from the outside, there was no trace of the Master.

Immediately, he sat down on a small stone pillar outside the door, thinking and waiting for the master to come back.

Zhimingyuan is not a small place. Master may have something to do elsewhere. Now that he is here, he cannot leave without seeing Master.

Before his butt was warm, he heard a voice from behind: "What are you doing here?"

When Qin Xiao heard a familiar voice, he immediately turned around and saw a student in a long gown walking over. He looked at her and said with a smile, "Sister Hongye, why are you dressed like this?"

Hong Ye was dressed like an academy student, wearing a long gown and a turban on her head. Her hair was tied up in the turban. At first glance, she looked like a handsome scholar, but her beautiful face naturally made Qin Xiao instantly

recognize.

"This is an academy, so of course you dress like this." Hongye came over and stood in front of Qin Xiao, looking down at Qin Xiao who was still sitting, and said somewhat unhappy: "You made it out alive?"

Qin Xiao was a little embarrassed.

Before he sneaked into the Forbidden Palace, Hongye warned him that the Forbidden Palace was extremely dangerous and it was best not to enter without permission, but in the end he still entered the palace and almost didn't come out alive.

"I went to wait for you later, but you never arrived."

"If I had stayed in the palace, would you have survived?" Hongye said coldly, "If I hadn't entered the palace, would you have survived?"

Qin Xiao smiled awkwardly and said: "Sister Hongye, have you left the palace to bring in reinforcements?"

"You are still in the mood to come here." Hongye frowned and said: "Your identity has been exposed, can you still stay in Kyoto? If it were me, I would have flown back to the Northeast. You still have so many tribesmen in the Northeast, don't be afraid

Tantai Xuanye revealed your whereabouts to the Liaodong Army, and Wang Xingchao took the opportunity to deal with your gang?"

Qin Xiaodao: "I'm really worried, but my wife and sister helped me a lot this time. I will always come over to express my gratitude in person."

"No need." Hongye said, "You should worry about the Northeast side."

Qin Xiao sighed: "I am planning to leave Beijing today. Before I leave, I want to say goodbye to you."

Hongye said: "I understand, I will convey it to the Master when he comes back."

"Master is not in the academy?"

"I have something to do and I'm leaving." Hong Ye simply said, "He said that if you come over, I'll give you a smooth journey." After a pause, he asked softly: "When are you going to leave today?"

Qin Xiao said: "Wait until dark

Go back. Nowadays, the entrance and exit checks at all gates in Kyoto are very strict. If you leave directly through the city gate, you might get into trouble."

"I'll help you make arrangements here." Hongye asked, "Where do you live?"

Qin Xiao told the location of the inn, and Hongye said: "A carriage will pick you up in the afternoon. You can trust him and he will take you out of the city."

Qin Xiao naturally had no doubts about the academy's magical powers and said gratefully: "Thank you, Sister Hongye."

"No need to thank me." Hongye said: "You have no place in Kyoto. The only place where you can stand is in the northeast." After thinking for a while, he said: "Gu Qiuniang and the nursing home in your mansion have been arranged to leave.

Jing, they are on their way to the Northeast. You will naturally see them when you return to the Northeast."

Qin Xiao quickly stood up and thanked her.

"Tantai Xuanye has become a climate. If you continue to operate in Kyoto, he will definitely kill you." Hongye said: "If you want to save your life, you have to run back to the Northeast first."

Qin Xiao sighed: "If he goes to the Northeast, he can just give up and give up?"

"There are too many people he has to deal with, and you are just one of them." Hongye said, "When you return to the Northeast, the threat to him will be greatly reduced, and he will not have the energy to deal with you first." His beautiful eyes turned,

Said: "If you really gain a foothold in the Northeast, Tantai Xuanye will not be able to do anything to you. On the contrary, if there is chaos in the pass, you will really have a chance to enter the pass and prosper the Tang Dynasty."

Qin Xiao felt that this kind of words did not sound like Hongye's tone. Could it be that the master told Hongye to say this?

He knew that Hongye was actually not interested in court affairs and power struggles, so he deliberately tried to test: "Sister Hongye, I am very worried now. In order to get rid of me, will Tantai Xuanye issue a false edict in the name of the emperor and slander me?"

I am a rebellious party, and I ordered the Liaodong Army to deal with us? If Wang Xingchao took a false edict, then he would be famous."

"It's unfounded to worry." Hongye said simply: "No."

Qin Xiao was startled, but Hongye had already said: "Compared to you, Tantai Xuanye is more afraid of Wang Xingchao and the Liaodong Army. The situation he is most happy to see is that the Long Rui Army and the Liaodong Army fight each other in the Northeast. Can you fight?

The longer the better, so he doesn't have to worry about the threat from the Northeast and can put his mind on other places. So you don't have to worry about him giving the Liaodong Army a false edict in the name of justice." After a pause, he said: "But the enemy is strong.

You are weak. Whether you can survive in the Northeast depends on your own ability. Anyway, now you have no backing in the court. If you are really beaten by the Liaodong Army, there will definitely be no soldiers in the court to support you.

"

Qin Xiao knew it well and had already guessed that these words might have come from Hongye's normal conversations with his wife. Although Hongye's martial arts was not weak and she was extremely intelligent, military affairs were not of interest to her.

"Do you want to go to the Northeast to get some fresh air?" Qin Xiao asked with a smile: "Brother Gu is over there. You are old acquaintances. You can meet up."

Although Hongye himself had never mentioned Gu Baiyi, Qin Xiao had naturally known for a long time that they were both disciples of the Master and had a very deep connection.

"Going to the Northeast?" Hongye immediately shook his head: "If you don't go, I won't go, what am I going to do in the Northeast? Even if Kyoto is in chaos, it has nothing to do with the academy, but if you go to the Northeast, it will definitely be more troublesome. Anyway...anyway

As long as I get involved with you, not much good will come of it."

Qin Xiao was a little embarrassed, but couldn't help but asked softly: "Sister Hongye, there is something I really want to ask you. Since the academy knows that Tantai Xuanye has launched a rebellion and is very ambitious, why is there no movement from the academy?

?Master’s martial arts skills are unfathomable, why can’t he come forward to help?

Help the imperial court bring down Tantai Xuanye?"

"Why does the academy want to help the imperial court?" Hongye asked rhetorically.

Qin Xiao was startled, and Hongye sneered: "It's just a group of greedy people fighting each other for power. Why should the academy get involved? If Master gets involved in these trivial matters, there will be trouble in the world.

There are too many things to take care of, where can I have leisure time reading and fishing?”

"You...what you said seems to make sense."

"Although Tantai Xuanye is not a good person, is the so-called saint who was controlled better than Tantai Xuanye?" Hongye said disdainfully: "If you saw two wild dogs biting on the roadside, would you come forward?

To help one wild dog bite another?"

Qin Xiao sighed inwardly, thinking that the master's disciples were indeed extraordinary, and that the majestic emperor turned into a wild dog in Hongye's eyes.

"Sister, you don't even care about the emperor, why...why would you help me with such a small role?" Qin Xiao couldn't help but ask: "The academy has treated me with great kindness, whether it is the master, the second gentleman, or you

, by the way, and Brother Gu, you all treat me extremely well, what’s the reason for this?”

"Don't ask me." Hongye immediately raised his hand to stop, "I don't want to be nice to you, I just follow orders. I have no relationship with you, and if it hadn't been for Master's orders, I wouldn't want to cause trouble for myself. You

If you want to know why the academy is helping you, just ask the master when you see him in the future." He then said: "I have something else to do and I don't have time to talk to you here. You go back to the inn and wait, someone will come find you then.

." He raised his hand and made a greeting gesture, which was obviously to see off the guests.

Qin Xiao had no choice but to bid farewell to Hongye and leave alone.

After Qin Xiao walked far away, a figure slowly walked out from the depths of the bamboo forest. He had one hand behind his back and twirled his white beard. It was the Master.

"Leaving?" The master looked in the direction where Qin Xiaoyuan went.

Hongye said angrily: "Let's go! Master, are you afraid of him? You don't even dare to see him."

"It's not that I'm afraid of him, it's that I'm afraid of trouble." The master sighed, "As you know, what I fear most as a teacher is trouble." As he spoke, he slowly walked towards the pond.

Hongye followed beside him and said: "Master, I also want to know why you are so kind to him? I have never seen you care so much about someone. Even if you are a few senior brothers, you have not worried about anything. You let

I stayed in Xiling for several years, and all I wanted to know was news about him, but I never cared about whether I was good or bad."

"Little girl, are you jealous?" The master smiled and said: "You are really heartless. If you hadn't been left alone in Xiling for a few years, your cultivation would have progressed so quickly? Don't forget, you go to Xiling

At that time, you had just entered the fifth rank. If nothing unexpected happens, with your qualifications, it would take six or seven years at the fastest to be promoted to the sixth rank. But after the experience of Xiling, you will definitely be promoted to the sixth rank this year, saving you a few years.

Time, isn’t this enough?” As he spoke, he had already walked to the pond and sat down, and picked up the fishing rod on the side.

Hong Ye went over and knelt down next to the Master, and said coquettishly: "Master, just tell me, who is he? Why do you spare no effort to cultivate him?"

"Girl, it doesn't really matter who he is." The master stroked his beard and said, "What matters is what he should do. I spend my energy on him, not to let him understand who he is, but to let him do what he wants.
