Chapter 52 Leaving Yangcheng
As the sun gradually set to the west, Chen Xiaofan and Ziwan bid farewell to Xiaoqing and walked out of the backyard of 'Juxianju'.

"Xiaofan, it's getting late, so why don't you wait until tomorrow? You're not afraid of a boy, but you have to think about Ziwan. She's a girl, and there will be many inconveniences. It's too safe." Xiaoqing persuaded.

"Miss Xiaoqing, it is true that the guild has something important to do, so I have to go back in a hurry." Chen Xiaofan said awkwardly.

Ziwan glanced at Chen Xiaofan, turned her face away and smiled and said to Xiaoqing: "Sister Xiaoqing, if you are afraid that I will be in danger, I will ride with Xiaofan. I believe Xiaofan can take good care of me, don't worry gone."

Following Zi Wan's words, Chen Xiaofan said: "Don't worry, we will just ride a horse, I will take good care of Xiao Wan, and I will find an inn along the way to rest at night, so Xiao Wan won't be tired."

"But~" Xiaoqing was still worried, and just as she spoke, Chen Xiaofan interrupted her with a smile and said, "Oh, Miss Xiaoqing! Why did you turn to Ziwan so quickly!? If I am wronged in the future, that's not right. I can't expect you to come out with high morals and prestige to uphold justice!"

Xiao Qing scolded with a smile: "You brat, you know how to be talkative, you don't want Zi Wan to be wronged, Zi Wan is well educated, how can I let you be wronged!"

Chen Xiaofan put on makeup and sighed and said: "Look, Xiaowan, it's not all that bad, and everyone in my natal family is turning to you! Oops~ My future life is going to be bleak!"

Xiao Qing was made to chuckle by Chen Xiaofan's appearance, her worry faded a lot, she said with a smile: "Xiao Fan and Zi Wan, since you are going to leave, then don't delay, be careful along the way!"

"Don't worry, don't send it away, let's go back!" Chen Xiaofan bid farewell to Ziwan, Xiaoqing, and went directly back to the inn to pick up the luggage and the horse.

Because Chen Xiaofan and Ziwan planned to ride together, they gave some silver taels to the shopkeeper, put the horses in his place, and told him to go to Yangcheng Jiangbei Wharf while the goods were in transit, and told Li Dazhuang that he could come and pick it up anytime if needed. horses.

The two of them rode out of the gate of Yangcheng, and rode away in the dust. They lost the comfort they had when they came, and there was a little more haste to avoid trouble. But if trouble comes to the door, is it so easy to avoid it? !

Sunset on the west mountain, moonlight scattered in Yangcheng, and it was another night full of lights.

In the central hall of Yangcheng Governor's Mansion, Ouyang Kang warmly entertained the three of Zhuang Yingjie and his companion, Ouyang Yuan, who was unhappy all night, but dared not be unhappy. Facing his master and father, Ouyang Yuan had a happy face, while Heart depressed.

Ouyang Yuan is not Chen Xiaofan, he can't smile brightly no matter how depressed he feels.

Zhuang Yingjie knew why Ouyang Yuan laughed stiffly, but he didn't care because Ouyang Kang didn't show he cared.

Zhuang Yingjie raised his glass and said, "Master Inspector, I offer you a toast."

"Don't dare, let's drink together." Ouyang Kang drank the wine in his glass.

Zhuang Yingjie said after finishing his glass of wine, "Lord Inspector, please support what you just said."

What Zhuang Yingjie wanted Ouyang Kang to support was about the annual enrollment of Daoxuan Academy.

The Daoxuan Dynasty began in 574 in the Daoxuan calendar, and established Mongolian colleges in the nine states of the entire dynasty. According to regulations, all children in each state must enter the Mongolian college to study when they reach the age of four, and they cannot leave until they are ten years old. Montgomery College.For those children in the Mentorship Academy who are found to have potential for cultivation, the academy will teach them the knowledge of practice. Gradually, the Meng Academy has become an important way for various sects to recruit disciples.

Times have changed, and the Mongolian Academy has changed with the pedantry of the dynasty in the course of history. The Mongolian Academy, which was originally open to all the people, has become a private school for the rich and powerful, and now it has become a bargaining chip of some kind.

The Mongolian Academy in Yangquan Prefecture is naturally in the hands of the governor, and the support Zhuang Yingjie seeks is naturally to let more high-quality students enter Daoxuan Academy.

Ouyang Kang said with a smile: "That's natural. Sir is the master of my family A Yuan. I will do my best to do what you entrust. I will first recommend the outstanding students from the Mentorship Academy in Yangquan Prefecture to the Metaphysics Academy." .”

"Your Excellency, on behalf of the academy, I would like to thank you in advance. If there is any trouble under the rule of Yangquan Prefecture and the academy needs to help, we will definitely do our best."

Ouyang Kang and Zhuang Yingjie looked at each other and smiled. They already got what they needed, so of course they laughed heartily.

After the banquet was over, Zhuang Yingjie and the three of them drank a lot, and under Ouyang Kang's arrangement, they lived in the upper-class wing of the Governor's Mansion, while Ouyang Yuan was brought to the study by Ouyang Kang.

Ouyang Yuan stood, because Ouyang Kang didn't let him sit down.

"Ah Yuan! When will you become more mature, it's not enough to have cultivation."

"My lord, the child is just having a bad breath in his heart!"

"Because there are rumors in the city these two days that you and that man named Chen Xiaofan are jealous of each other?"

Ouyang Yuan nodded and said: "Yes, my lord father has promised my son that he will marry Zi Wan for my son, but there are rumors in the city that I lost to that boy in the fight for a wife. How can my son not be angry? When the master came, he would vent his anger on the child, but after knowing that the master had fought against that kid, he invited him to join the Daoxuan sect, which is a benefit that the child has not obtained! Do you think the child can not be angry?!"

Ouyang Kang sighed heavily, his expression was very lonely, full of the disappointment of a tiger father and dog son, he said: "I have checked the rumors in the city, and it was reported by Wu Zhi's servant, Xiao Wu. "

"Wu Zhi? Why?"

"Perhaps he heard the rumor that I was going to set up a beast hunting guild." Ouyang Kang didn't know that Wu Zhi asked his servants to spread rumors before he wanted to set up a beast hunting guild, so he just speculated according to common sense.

"Father, what does your establishment of the Beast Hunting Guild have to do with him spreading rumors that are not good for me?"

"A Yuan, when can you think more about things!" Ouyang Kang sighed softly.

"The child is stupid, please ask the father to understand."

"My father wants Zishang to be the leader of this guild."

Ouyang Kang finished his speech here, thinking that his son must have understood the whole story, who knew that Ouyang Yuan continued to ask: "Does this have something to do with my matter?"

Ouyang Kang was almost so angry that he couldn't catch his breath, and he calmed down after a while. He waved his hand to signal that Ouyang Yuan could leave, because he really didn't know what to say.

Ouyang Yuan walked out of the study in a somewhat dispirited mood, even more disappointed. Although he didn't know why Wu Zhi did this, it was enough when he knew that the rumor came from Wu Zhi, because he finally found someone to vent his anger on, so he became angry. He rushed straight to Wu Zhi's home in Yangcheng.
