Sword of Coming

Chen Ping'an walked out of the city gate and stood to rest beside the official road filled with pedestrians. Not far away was a tea stall.

Chen Pingan hesitated for a moment, then bought a bowl of tea and sat down to drink tea.

The young man who almost never regretted anything began to regret that he left the capital of Sui Dynasty too quickly.

Just like Cui Chan said, what if Baoping and the others are bullied and he is not around?

Chen Ping'an may not have a broad vision, but he is not ignorant of the good and bad of people's hearts. Because he has not lived an easy life since he was a child. He used to do everything he could just to survive at a young age. Therefore, Chen Pingan understands life better than Li Baoping, Li Huai, and Lin Shouyi. dissatisfaction, and the ugly side of the human heart.

Especially following Cui Chan along the way, and through the chatter and nonsense of this cheap student, Chen Ping'an understood one thing more and more: it doesn't mean a person is smart if he has a big official hat, nor does he become good if he has a lot of knowledge.

Chen Ping'an drank tea, looked at the city head, and silently made up his mind.

Donghua Mountain, Cliff Academy, a lobby with a plaque of "Song Tao" hanging on it, the world likes to call it the Confucius Academy or the Master's House.

The current nominal mountain lord, the Minister of Rites of the Great Sui Dynasty, is drinking tea. He rarely takes a break and looks relaxed. The seven or eight people present are all academy teachers, most of whom are quite old. Three deputy mountain lords are present, one of whom is The old man with a Chinese-style face and a Confucian shirt endured it, and finally couldn't help complaining: "These children are too noisy!"

It seemed that after the "nonsense" comment came out of his mouth, the old master was still angry and added, "He is so stubborn!"

You must know that this deputy mountain master is not only a great Confucian who is responsible for large-scale lectures in the New Academy, but also a serious "gentleman". The old man's name has long been recorded in a Confucian academy, so he said it. In other words, it has more weight than the so-called literary celebrities and scholarly sect leaders.

The Minister of Rites is a short, amiable old man with an unassuming appearance. If it weren’t for the official uniform that he couldn’t take off in time, it would be impossible to imagine that he was a high-ranking official of the second rank in the central government. Moreover, Chongwen of the Sui Dynasty, such as the title of Tianguan of Da Li, It was assigned to the Ministry of Personnel, and in the Sui Dynasty it was assigned to the Ministry of Rites.

The short old man didn't feel that the deputy mountain master's words had spoiled his mood. He said with a smile, "Tell me what kind of naughty person you are."

The deputy mountain master said angrily: "Lin Shoutian is very talented and has a good foundation in classics and meaning, which is quite solid, but his character, alas, he often skips classes and goes to the library to read miscellaneous books. He only reads half of them. There are no Confucian classics. Instead, there are many heretical Taoist secret books. In such a short period of time, he has borrowed twenty or thirty books. How is this unworthy? It is not that a Confucian disciple cannot read Taoist books. He is just young, so how can he be qualified? Talking about drawing parallels, if I go astray, how do I explain it to...the original mountain owner?"

The short old man nodded slightly and drank tea significantly slower.

The deputy mountain master became more and more angry as he talked, "And that little girl Li Baoping is even more lawless. During class, she often wanders around thousands of miles away. She has no idea about respecting teachers. She is either reading the torn-up book of landscape travel notes, or Draw little people on the book, hey, it’s okay, it’s still the martial arts posture of the martial arts barbarian!”

The short old man suppressed his laughter, lowered his head and took a sip of tea without comment.

The deputy mountain master continued: "Li Huai, the youngest... is honest about his duties, does not skip classes, does not make trouble, and does the homework assigned by the teacher every time, but his understanding is really... Why does he feel like he is not enlightened? Elm bumps? I dozed there during class. I was in a daze and drooled all over the table. I didn't look like a direct disciple of the original mountain master at all. Alas, I am so sad."

A relatively young deputy mountain master joked: "Master Shangshu, our master Liu's beard has many strands broken."

The old man with a Chinese character retorted seriously: "It's just the deputy mountain master!"

The short old man laughed heartily, put down the tea cup sideways, and asked, "Isn't there any good news? If this continues, I won't dare to come next time."

The old man's mood improved slightly, and he nodded and said: "Yes, that's strange, but Yu Lu and Xie are the two young girls who stand out. They are more like the pure seeds of reading in our Confucian school. They treat people very normally, and they are usually pretty good. He respects his teachers and respects his principles, especially the young man Yu Lu, who is gentle, courteous and thrifty. He is simply a handsome son among the top nobles of our Sui Dynasty, and he seems to be more worthy of special cultivation."

The short old man was still not in a hurry to make a conclusion. He smiled and looked at a tall old man who had been secretly napping, "Mr. Mao, what do you say?"

The tall old man, who had a long piece of mahogany on his waist, shuddered when he was called, opened his eyes and said confusedly: "What? Master Shangshu is leaving now? Why don't you stay for a while?"

The Minister of Rites still smiled and said, "Since Mr. Mao kindly asks me to stay and asks me to stay a little longer, then I will stay a little longer?"

The Confucius Courtyard was suddenly filled with laughter.

The short old man patiently explained the complaint made by the deputy mountain master in a concise and concise manner. After hearing this, the tall old man surnamed Mao looked astonished and said, "I see, then I really have a few words to say."

The short old man joked: "I'm all ears."

The tall old man sat up straight and asked: "Is Qi Jingchun more knowledgeable, or are you all here more knowledgeable?"

Silence fell.

Is not this nonsensical?

The tall old man asked again: "Which one has better taste, Qi Jingchun, or you gentlemen?"

Come on, it’s still nonsense.

The deputy mountain master with the Chinese character face thought for a moment and did not refute anything directly. Instead, he lowered his voice slightly and asked: "Mr. Mao, the Lizhu Cave is now the county seat of Dali Longquan County. It is such a big place. It is said that the total There are only five to six thousand people, so there are definitely not many children suitable for elementary education. Could it be that Mr. Qi is there and really has no choice?"

The tall old man is Mao Xiaodong of the academy. It was this man who helped the saint Qi Jingchun to establish the Dali Mountain Cliff Academy bit by bit. No matter in terms of cultivation, seniority, or moral knowledge, he is a well-deserved academy. The first person, so everyone, including the Minister of Rites, is willing to call him Mao Lao.

After hearing Deputy Mountain Master Liu's inquiry, Mao Xiaodong smiled and said: "Of course it is possible, and this is not a 'possibility', it is a true fact!"

The group of people were all dumbfounded.

Mao Xiaodong looked around, "It is your Sui Dynasty that needs these children. It is best that all of them are geniuses and shine. We will also try to win them over to stay in the Sui Temple when they grow up, so that they can grow up for you and help you by the way." Slap Da Li in the face. I don’t have these boring thoughts..."

The Minister of Rites hurriedly coughed twice, then picked up the tea cup and drank tea with his head down.

The tall old man didn't care about this, and still spoke freely, "If it were me, those little guys taught by Qi Jingchun personally should eat and drink. If they are willing to learn, they can learn, and if they are willing to be lazy, they can be lazy. They will have I'm too lazy to care about whether I have any future or not. As the deputy mountain master in charge of the actual affairs of the academy, I have so many students under my command, and there will only be more every year in the future. How can I have the time and energy to listen to you complain about these children's climbing trees and Skip class and draw little people?"

Everyone in the hall looked at each other.

The short old man sitting at the main seat continued to drink tea calmly, but in fact there was no more tea in the teacup.

The tall old man stood up with a smile, "I'm going to take a look at the book engraving matter in Chongwenfang. This matter is huge and I have to keep an eye on it. I won't drink tea with Lord Shangshu."

The short old man stood up and said kindly: "Then I won't delay the time of preaching and teaching to you gentlemen."

Mao Xiaodong complained: "Master Shangshu, it's not too late to leave after drinking tea..."

The tall old man stood on his tiptoes slightly and glanced at the tea cup, "Oh, you've finished drinking. Seriously, sir, drink one more drink and another drink to give our academy some face, right? If word spread, you think we don't want to see you, sir." Well, that’s so bad, if the Ministry of Household Affairs deliberately deducts the silver required for engraving books in Chongwen Square of the academy to avenge Lord Tianguan, who should I complain to?"

Master Shangshu, who was almost a head shorter than Mao Xiaodong, cupped his hands with a grimace and said: "Mr. Mao, just spare me, can you just treat you as the mountain master and me as the deputy mountain master?"

"No!" Mao Xiaodong laughed and turned away.

When the tall old man left, the short old man looked helpless and said angrily: "Originally we were just hiding for peace, well, in the end we have to be punished. We are still our own family and we don't dare to come again in the future."

There was a burst of laughter in the concubine's courtyard, and even the deputy mountain master with the Chinese character face couldn't help but laugh.

The atmosphere is harmonious.

Donghua Mountain in the capital city of the Sui Dynasty is actually not majestic at all compared to the Five Mountains. It is just that it is taller than the short one, which makes it look particularly tall and graceful.

There is a thousand-year-old ginkgo tree on the top of the mountain. After a little girl in a red cotton coat finished her daze, she hugged the trunk of the tree and slid down.

As a result, she saw an old scholar who was sitting back and waiting. He was really tall and was smiling with squinting eyes. The old man didn't look like a good person.

The tall old man asked: "At this point, are you skipping class again?"

The little girl was honest, "Yes. I know there are rules in the academy, and I accept the punishment."

The old man asked with a smile: "Why, when Qi Jingchun taught you before, he had to make mistakes if he skipped class?"

The little girl shook her head and said, "You don't need to be punished for skipping classes. My husband never cares about this. But if we remember something wrong that your husband taught in the school class, we will remind you the first time and we will punish you the second time."

The old man yelled and asked curiously: "What are you looking at up there?"

The little girl was stunned for a moment, and for the sake of the old man's age, she replied: "What a scenery."

The old man became more and more interested, "Why don't I know what scenery is so beautiful?"

The little girl blinked and said, "Old sir, you can climb up and take a look yourself."

"It is disgraceful for a scholar to climb a tree."

The old man waved his hands quickly at first, and then he suddenly realized, "Hey, you are thinking that if we break the rules together, you can prevent me from reporting you, right? You are quite smart, little girl."

The little girl chuckled and then shook her head.

The old man understood the little girl's thoughts and asked, "What's wrong? I said it was an insult to politeness. Isn't it right?"

The little girl patted her clothes and explained: "In the past, when I hung the kite on a branch, my husband climbed a tree to help me get it down. Another time, I threw Li Huai's underwear up and ran back by myself. Later, I heard that my husband took it down with the help of my husband. How come the scholars here in your academy are always so picky about this kind of thing..."

The old man helped to correct it, "It's not 'your academy', it's 'our academy'."

The old man bent over, put his hands behind his back, looked at the little girl with a smile and asked: "Do you think your husband, the guy named Qi Jingchun, is better than the teachers here?"

The little girl sighed.

I thought that this old gentleman was tall, but why did he always ask such unwise questions?

The old man said earnestly: "Little girl, let me tell you, we have a lot of rules. Apart from not having as much knowledge as your husband, we are not without merit. We have difficulties. 'Do whatever you want without breaking the rules.' I have heard this saying Right? Do you know what’s in front of you?”

The little girl nodded and said: "It's 'er seventeen', and the preceding one is 'er er sixteen'."

The tall old man was stunned for a long time and was speechless.

The old man's knowledge is beyond imagination. It's not that he didn't understand the meaning, but he just couldn't figure out how such a strange answer came out of the little girl's little head.

The little girl waved her hand and prepared to dodge, "Old sir, my name is Li Baoping. I am a student who has just entered school. I will not escape punishment. I have already understood all the rules first. I know that within three days I want to copy an article. I will finish it tonight and hand it over to Mr. Hong. If you don’t believe it, you can ask Mr. Hong yourself.”

Li Baoping patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, I can write faster than running!"

The old man didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he quickly called out to the heroic little girl, "I haven't finished explaining the truth yet. Don't worry. After listening to my reasoning, you will be treated as if you have been punished."

Li Baoping's hands had already begun to make a running and sprinting gesture. After hearing this, he had to stop and said with wide eyes: "Old sir, you tell me, but if the truth is not good, I'd better go back and copy the book."

The old man was choked by the girl's words, "Think about it, the Holy Master only dared to do this when he reached this age. Wouldn't it be bad if ordinary people only care about their own happiness and don't follow any rules?"

The little girl nodded and said, "Of course it's not good."

The old man laughed heartily and said, "Okay, I've finished explaining my principles, and you don't need to copy the book."

This time it was Li Baoping's turn to be stunned, "Is this the end?"

The little girl sighed heavily, glanced at the old gentleman, hesitated to speak, finally bowed, and began to prepare to run down the mountain.

The old man laughed angrily, "Little girl, what did you mean by that look in your face just now? You think I am older than your husband Qi Jingchun, but I don't know as much as him, right?"

Li Baoping nodded slowly, determined not to lie. Since the old gentleman saw through it, of course she would not deny it.

The old man smiled and said: "Then do you know that I just look older and Qi Jingchun looks younger? In fact, he is older than me! So it is not surprising that he is a little more knowledgeable than me."

Li Baoping was full of doubts.

The old man seemed a little angry and said, "Why did you lie to a little girl?"

Li Baoping was no longer in a hurry to go down the mountain. He crossed his arms across his chest, walked a few steps to the left, and then moved a few steps to the right. He raised his head and looked at the tall old man, and asked an incomprehensible question, "Even if you are older than me, sir" He is young, so he is less knowledgeable, so why is it that my junior uncle, who is younger than you, is still more knowledgeable than you?"

The old man clicked his tongue and said, "You are more knowledgeable than me? Then I really don't believe it."

Li Baoping was a little anxious and thought about it carefully. After looking around carefully, he put a small palm to his mouth and whispered: "I'm telling you, don't tell others."

Then she stretched out her hand and made a gesture on her head, "If my husband's knowledge is this high, then my junior uncle's knowledge must be at least this high."

Li Baoping stretched out his hand to gesture on his shoulder again, and finally moved it to his ear, "When the junior uncle is on his way home, he will know more words, and his knowledge will soon be so high!"

The old man was stunned, and finally he could only agree: "Then your little uncle is amazing, amazing!"

Li Baoping nodded vigorously, "No! My junior uncle is extremely powerful!"

The old man suddenly said with emotion: "It's great to be awesome, it's great to be awesome, if it's awesome, we can protect our little treasure bottle in the future."

Li Baoping looked a little sad, squeezed out a smile, and rushed out all the way. As he ran, he turned around and waved goodbye, "I'm leaving. I think your knowledge, old man, is actually quite good. You are so advanced..."

The little girl wanted to reach out and gesture, but she ran too fast, lost her balance, and fell to the ground. Then she got up as fast as lightning and ran down the mountain at an even faster speed.

The tall old man patted his waist, and the "rules" ruler appeared in its original shape. Looking at the smaller and smaller red figure in the distance, the old man sighed, "Jingchun, I should have met that boy."

There is a small lake in Donghua Mountain. The water is crystal clear and full of lotus flowers are planted there. However, in winter, all the leaves are dead, making it look particularly desolate.

There was a tall young man holding a green bamboo fishing pole and sitting on the shore fishing. People pointed at him from time to time, but no one came close to talk to him.

Finally, a dark-skinned girl with an unattractive appearance came to stand next to the boy and asked, "Is fishing interesting?"

Yu Lu nodded and smiled: "Interesting."

Thank you for asking: “What’s interesting about it?”

Yu Lu smiled and gave the answer, "The fish will be happy when it takes the bait. Even if the fish runs away in the end, it will still be happy."

Thank you for being vaguely angry.

Yu Lu stared at the lake, held back his laughter, and said, "Okay, okay, I'll be honest, I'm practicing martial arts."

Yu Lu slowly explained: "Not to mention holding the pole, but my sitting posture is very particular. I want to be as still as a mountain and as moving as a river. Then the moment the fish really bites the hook, my whole body moves. The transformation only takes an instant, which is in line with the Taoist mystery of the inversion of yin and yang. There is a martial arts secret book that says that if you are still, everything will be still, and if you move, all the bones will follow. So I fish like this, which can relax my muscles and replenish my vitality. .”

Thank you for being dubious.

Yu Lu did not look at the girl from beginning to end. "If you say that I have never practiced martial arts, it is not wrong. I have never practiced martial arts. But if you want to say that I have been practicing martial arts, it is not wrong. When I was eating , when I sleep, when I walk, and now when I am fishing, I always think about the things in the martial arts secret books. One advantage of having a good family background is that the family secrets, even if the rank is not too high, can be wrong. , definitely not many, and there are many seemingly contradictory places in many boxing and sword classics, but they are actually the most learned, which is particularly fascinating."

Xie Xie sat on the ground, hugged his knees, and looked at the slender fishing rod. "It would be a shame if you don't go to the mountain to practice."

Yu Lu said aggrievedly: "Hey, hey, Miss Xie, I'm not as capable of exposing people's wounds as you are."

Xie Xie was silent for a moment and said: "I finally live a peaceful life, but my heart is not stable anymore. What about you?"

The girl asked herself and answered, "It doesn't matter where you are, Yu Lu. In this regard, I am indeed far inferior to you."

Yu Lu turned his head without warning, shook his head and said, "I like to watch the night alone in front of the fire."

Xie Xie asked in confusion: "Why?"

Yu Lu turned his head again and stared at the lake, "I don't know, I just like it."

Xie Xie smiled and said: "Then do you like her, the woman who almost became the crown princess?"

Yu Lu's face was expressionless at first, but he soon smiled and answered the question inappropriately: "Thank you, Miss. Here, we have to be careful about what we say and what we do."

Thank you, Pi Xiaorou said with a smile: "Li Huai came to me before to show off his jade hairpin, but you don't even have it?"

Yu Lu smiled and said: "You don't have it either. I'm surprised that you don't have it. But it's wrong that you don't have it. Such a beautiful girl."

Xie Xie said with a dark face: "Please be careful what you say!"

Yu Lu suddenly flicked his wrist, and the fishing rod bent into a beautiful arc. The tall boy laughed and said: "Take the bait!"

The girl stood up and left, "No man is good!"

Yu Lu carefully walked the fish while looking at the girl's back, "Whether I am a good person or not, it's hard to say, but someone is really good, well, just a little biased, there is no bookcase, no hairpin, just everyone Some straw sandals, alas, really make people feel a bit disappointed.”

Xie turned around and strode towards Yu Lu.

Yu Lu quickly made up for it, "I don't mean anything else. We are all the same. We don't worry about scarcity but about inequality. Don't get me wrong..."

The girl had no intention of stopping. Yu Lu lost his fishing rod and ran away without even caring about the fish that was hooked.

Xie Xie picked up the fishing rod on the shore that had not been dragged far by the fish, threw it to the center of the lake, and then clapped his hands and left.

Yu Lu was stunned, and this time he was really angry. He said angrily in a low voice: "If it were Chen Ping'an's fishing rod, try it. If you still dare to be so aggressive? My last name is yours!"

Lin Shouyi, with a plain yellow jade hairpin in his bun. The boy's complexion is slightly dark, but his handsome face cannot be concealed. Although people at Cliff Academy give the impression of being cold-tempered and unsmiling, Lin Shouyi is still very popular with women. Welcome, although the women of the Sui Dynasty were unable to obtain academic achievements, they could study openly without delay, and they could stay in major academies before getting married.

Lin Shouyi went to the library to read as usual when he encountered a course he didn't like.

Along the way, it is extremely eye-catching.

Among the first batch of students of Xinshanya Academy, the students who were born and raised in the Sui Dynasty were either rich or noble. They came from prestigious families in the capital or well-established local wealthy families.

The appearance of Lin Shouyi was like a stream of clear spring water from a mountain stream, which fascinated many women.

Lin Shouyi's rejection of others thousands of miles away further aroused the fighting spirit of those women from the aristocratic family. They felt that Lin Shouyi was unique in everything he did. For example, the young man dressed plainly, and his food, clothing and daily life were extremely simple. Unlike the ordinary dignitaries, princes and grandsons around him, There is a world of difference, then this is Lin Shouyi's mellow and scholarly style.

If getting close to Lin Shouyi for these reasons is just a superficial understanding, then some details that no one seems to pay attention to are a huge motivation to consolidate this good impression.

For example, Lin Shouyi was highly regarded by the great Confucian Dong Jing. This old man was well-known in the Sui Dynasty and was recognized as a master of both Confucianism and Taoism. Dong Jing often called Lin Shouyi to his simple hut to teach him knowledge alone.

Whenever there was a thunderstorm, Lin Shouyi would be personally taken to Tieshu Mountain, the highest mountain in the capital city of Sui Dynasty. As for the reason, outsiders in the academy not only watched the excitement, but also tried to see the doorway. There is no airtight wall in the world. Dong Jing also has his best friends and is a famous drunkard. Soon after a few good drinks, some clues were revealed. Lin Shouyi is a spiritual genius that is rare to see in a century. , once you cultivate the awe-inspiring Qi and supplement it with the Five Thunders Zhengfa, you will definitely become an immortal figure who starts in the fifth realm, and is expected to reach the sixth realm before the age of twenty-five.

To put it simply, this means that Lin Shouyi, a spiritual genius, is qualified to sprint to the tenth realm, which is far beyond the scope of ordinary geniuses.

Suddenly a panting child ran all the way to Lin Shouyi. It was Li Huai. When he saw Lin Shouyi, he immediately burst into tears and choked up: "Lin Shouyi, my painted puppet is missing. Someone stole it." Let’s go!”

Lin Shouyi asked: "Isn't it lost?"

Li Huai shook his head, "Impossible!"

"How many people live in your dormitory?"

"Four more with me."

"Are there any suspects?"

Li Huai still shook his head.

Lin Shouyi frowned, and finally he returned to his school with Li Huai, took out a few banknotes from under the bookcase, and handed them to Li Huai. His family had sent the money to the Pillow Inn in Hongzhu Town. That day Lin Shouyi Shouichi's face after receiving the letter from home was extremely ugly.

Li Huai said in a panic: "What are you doing? I just want painted puppets, and I don't want any money!"

Lin Shouyi said: "When you return to the dormitory, tell your roommate that you left the painted puppet in... Anyway, you just name a place, and you can give the money to anyone who can help you pick it up."

Li Huai said blankly: "Is this possible?"

Lin Shouyi said helplessly: "Let's try this first."

The next day, Li Huai happily found Lin Shouyi, "That method really works!"

Lin Shouyi said angrily: "Lock the box from now on and don't always show off your little rags."

Li Huai said angrily: "Thank you, thank you. I will definitely pay you back in the future, but you are not allowed to say that to them!"

Lin Shouyi reached out and slapped the bastard on the head, "Don't bother me, I'm going to the library."

"Be careful of becoming a nerd!" Li Huai made a face at Lin Shouyi and ran away.

A few days later, Li Huai came to Lin Shouyi again with a sad face, his head drooped, too timid to speak.

Lin Shouyi, who was blocked at the door of the library, sighed, "What happened? The painted puppet was stolen again?"

The child said sickly: "No, this time it's that little clay figurine..."

"Is the box locked?"

"It's locked, I promise! There are two locks! I keep the keys in my arms at all times."

Lin Shouyi had a headache and stretched out his hand to rub the center of his brow. "I'll go find Mr. Dong to see if he can do anything. This is not a solution at all."

Li Huai suddenly raised his head and said with a forced smile: "Forget it, I'll look for it myself. Maybe they'll come back on their own."

Before Lin Shou could persuade him to stay, Li Huai had already ran out and even called the child but refused to listen.

Li Huai and Li Baoping happened to have class together today. After class, Li Baoping found Li Huai who was hiding from him on purpose. He noticed that the corners of his mouth were red and swollen and couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"

Li Huai shrank his neck and said, "I fell down."

Li Baoping stared: "Say!"

Li Huai pouted and was about to cry. He tried his best to hold it back and became more and more pitiful. "You can't beat someone if you quarrel with them."

"who!"

"He's my roommate...but I'm fighting three of them by myself, so I won't embarrass you!"

"Walk!"

The little girl is crisp and clear, with a maximum of two words in a sentence.

She ordered Li Huai, "Go to your school and wait for me. Hurry! I'll be there soon!"

Li Huai returned to the school uneasily. The three roommates, who were only slightly older than him, were chatting together and completely ignored him. They just glanced at Li Huai, whose eyes were full of ridicule and disdain. This one came from Da Li. He is a little bumpkin who can't read well, talks vulgarly, and has a rustic vibe all over his body. He still uses a broken book box as a treasure. The key is that there are more than one pair of straw sandals hidden in the book box!

Li Huai walked silently outside the threshold of the school building, squatted there and drew circles. Not long after, Li Huai looked at Li Baoping, who was coming in a hurry, holding the narrow knife called Xiang Fu in his hand...

Li Huai was so frightened that he almost couldn't stand up. He finally stood up, but his legs were a little weak. He swallowed and whispered: "Baoping, do we need to bring a knife when we fight?"

Li Baoping glared angrily, pushed Li Huai away, and strode into the school building alone, "You don't need to fight, but do you need to be beaten? Get out of the way!"

Although Li Huai was so scared that he was sweating, he still gritted his teeth and quickly followed her, shouting: "Li Baoping, wait for me!"

Li Baoping looked at the three guys, raised the narrow knife in the sheath, and said coldly: "Whoever stole Li Huai's clay figurine, take it out!"

The three of them were dumbfounded at first, and then burst into laughter.

Li Baoping became even more angry, "Whoever beat Li Huai, please stand up!"

The three of them looked at each other, smiled, and then rolled their eyes.

Li Baoping carried a narrow knife and beat those three little bastards hard.

Even though Li Baoping is not very tall, his strength was gained through hard work since childhood. In addition, he practiced boxing with Chen Ping'an, traveled through mountains and rivers together, and dealt with several peers who were not as good as embroidered pillows. In a confrontation, momentum is very important. Li Baoping's first move was shocking enough. He shot very quickly, swept the scabbard, and hit a boy about ten years old hard on the cheek. He slapped him spinning in circles, and then hit the scabbard on the head. It hit the second poor guy and made him cry loudly. The third one didn't dare to fight back and ran away quickly. He was caught up by Li Baoping. He flew up and kicked him in the back. His whole body hit the bed, which hurt again. I was afraid, so I just lay there and pretended to be dead.

Li Baoping glanced away and pointed at them with the end of the scabbard, "I will obediently take back that set of clay figurines today and give them to Li Huai! If anyone dares to bully Li Huai in the future, I will beat you until your parents don't recognize you!" I, Li Baoping, do what I say!"

Li Baoping saw a guy quietly looking up at her. She raised her arm and was about to hit him with a scabbard, scaring the guy back quickly.

Li Baoping sneered again and again and turned around angrily. When he saw Li Huai standing on the threshold, he got angry and said, "Li Huai! You are such a coward! Don't call me Junior Uncle together with me in the future. If you dare to shout I’ll fight you one at a time!”

As if he had been stabbed in a sad place, Li Huai squatted on the ground, holding his head and sobbing.

Glancing sideways at Li Huai, Li Baoping seemed to be angrier than when he arrived. He held a narrow knife and left angrily.

In the room, a boy with a big swollen head said angrily: "This matter is not over! I want you little shrew to know who you hit!"

Two days later.

In the courtyard of the Confucius Institute, the deputy mountain master with a Chinese character slapped the handle of the chair and said, "Lawless! How unreasonable! How dare you openly fight in public, from young to old! No one is left behind! No one should interfere in this matter. I will Let’s see how bad our dignified Cliff Academy, where the great Sui Dynasty’s hope lies, can be!”

The rest of the people looked at the tall old man who was taking a nap without squinting for the first time. The old man thought for a while, nodded and said, "That's it."

Someone braved it and asked in a low voice: "Mr. Mao, what is it like?"

The tall old man's face was indifferent, as if he was playing a riddle: "That's it."

His statement made even the great scholar with a gentleman's status feel a chill in his neck.
