the enlightener says

"Take Qin... Ake to the school to wash up, tell Mr. Wu, and let him arrange the accommodation."

Abu's eyes lit up: "Ah Ke will study with me in the future?"

Qin Ke raised his head and stared blankly at Zhuge Wanling, but he didn't say anything.

"It's just that he is arranged to live with you." Zhuge Wanling said with a smile, "As for studying or other things, it's up to him to choose." He looked at Qin Ke and said softly, "You go first, no matter what, you are My younger brother's disciple, if you come to Jingwu, there will always be a place for you."

Qin Ke hesitated for a moment, felt that Abu was pulling the corner of his clothes, slowly got up and nodded, followed by saying goodbye to Abu and slowly left the hall, the moment he closed the door of the hall, he saw Zhuge Wanling writing again, a People write slowly under the light.

This picture, presumably, will remain in his mind for a long, long time.

Not long after Qin Ke and Abu left the palace, the palace in the middle of the night did not fall into complete silence because of the departure of these two young people.

Zhuge Wanling heard the sound of the hall door being opened again, he raised his head, Gao Changgong was standing in front of the hall door, holding a jug of wine in his hand, and walked in very leisurely.

"I heard that you were scolded by someone?" Gao Changgong said lazily. As the general of Jingwu and Zhuge Wanling's right-hand man when he was in Jianghu gang, it is natural for him to enter and exit the palace without hindrance.

Zhuge Wanling kept his hands on his hands, and asked softly, "Why are you here?"

Gao Changgong waved his hands with a smile, and sat down in front of him, leaning on the desk, as if doing whatever he wanted, "This is so interesting, in the huge palace, you are dignified, Jing Wu, who is under one person and above ten thousand people." The prime minister, to be scolded by someone, is a big loss of face."

Opening the jug, he took a sip, wiped his mouth and said with a smile: "It's a pity that I didn't catch up with that good show. I was worried that your self-esteem would be frustrated, and you would never recover from it. I came here to comfort you. Are you moved? Tsk tsk , but it's also interesting to say, that kid Qin Ke has actually done what I've always wanted to do but couldn't. I'll have to ask him for advice in the future, and see how I can scold you so badly .”

"It's not uncommon for me to be scolded. Back then, those people in the gang often complained to me, didn't they?" Zhuge Wanling put down his brush, and both of them seemed to have a look of nostalgia. , "Tell me, although I know you are a fool, but entering the palace late at night should not be just for such a thing. Is there anything you want to tell me?"

"Of course, what you want to know has come to fruition." Gao Changgong took out a bamboo slip from his bosom and casually placed it in front of Zhuge Wanling. That mindless uncle was also involved, and the Sun family, Xie family, and Wang family were all involved."

"It's nothing unusual." Zhuge Wanling nodded, and asked again, "You were asked to send troops to escort Gongjin to rescue the disaster. How is it going now?"

"It's okay. Gongjin went in person, and those people didn't dare to reach out easily. The food can still be distributed to the people."

"Food can no longer be provided in such a simple way. Tell Gongjin to let the common people build dams, and women and children can help the strong men cook. If the dams can be rebuilt within two months, the fertile soil will always be There is still a season of grain to be harvested.”

"I know." Gao Changgong sighed contentedly after taking a sip of wine, and leaned his shoulders and back on Zhuge Wanling's case, "Gong Jin is not a fool, whether it is leading troops or disaster relief, he is very thoughtful." People. He has thought of yours a long time ago."

Zhuge Wanling nodded and said with a smile: "That's right. When he first joined the gang, he was only 13 years old, but he was already a well-known ghost in the gang."

"Yeah." Gao Changgong laughed a few times, but after laughing, he turned sideways inexplicably, leaning his body on his arms, and asked, "Hey, I've always been curious, did he tell you these memories, or did you inherit them directly? "

Zhuge Wanling didn't speak, but there seemed to be some strange lights flickering in his eyes. It was obvious that he was a weak and unable to practice, but no matter who it was, seeing his eyes at this moment, he would feel that there seemed to be something hidden inside. A terrifying thing may pounce out at any time.

Gao Changgong laughed, didn't ask this question anymore, took another sip of wine, and said, "About them, what are you going to do?"

They, of course, refer to those gentry and those officials.

Zhuge Wanling looked at the candle, and said: "You can't go too far, you can't touch the bottom line of those gentry now. But this matter can't really just pass." He lightly tapped the wooden desk with his fingers, Said: "Then... let's kill people."

When these words were spoken, there seemed to be a bloody smell in the hall, and the silver moonlight fell through the window to the ground, like small sharp steel knives.

"How many people did you kill?" Gao Changgong asked.

"Starting from the killing of officials involved in the case in counties and counties, there must be no movement in Jianye City, and the uncle of the king...doesn't have to stay. With this momentum, by the way, those few small families who are insignificant are also given to Ping. Be it." In Zhuge Wanling's calm words, the life and death of nearly a hundred people had already been decided, but he still did not waver.

"Will moving the aristocratic family know the bottom of those gentry?"

Zhuge Wanling replied indifferently: "They are not fools either. Someone should bear the consequences when things get to such an extent. Compared with those aristocratic families that are already erratic, their own fundamental interests are everything. In this case, the members of these aristocratic families should bear the consequences. What does life and death have to do with them?"

Gao Changgong raised the jug and laughed loudly: "It sounds good, it is worthy of my jug of wine." The clear liquid drew a silver line and poured into his throat with scorching heat. He drank freely, as if The strong wine was as clear as clear water. After a while, he threw the jug away, and after a crackling sound, he knocked on the table hard: "Then... kill it!"

Chapter 77 Little Thousand and Little Black

"You live here?" Qin Ke looked at the rows of shops around and the students who were making bedding, and walked in curiously.

Contrary to Qin Ke's imagination, this room in the school is actually not very luxurious, and even looks a bit crowded. In addition to a few tables, what catches the eye is a long bed made of bricks and stones The bed stretched from the door to the wall at the other end, taking up half of the room.

Judging from the quilts above, ten people were sleeping in this room, but a few of them hadn't come back yet, or they couldn't be seen tonight.

"I usually live here." Abu replied as he walked in, "But there are a few days every month when we go home to see our parents."

He clapped his hands and smiled at several people in the room: "Stop, let me introduce you."

Several students had already noticed Qin Ke's arrival, their eyes were full of curiosity, and when Abu spoke, the students in the room came over laughingly.

"This is Qin Ke, um... this is Xiaoqian, Dalou..." Abu introduced them one by one, all of which were his daily names, but every student whose name was called would say his name with a smile , Some people said that their name was still a bit unfamiliar and hesitant, Qin Ke was a little strange, but Abu quickly explained, "This is the name given by Mr. No, there are only cheap names like 'whole egg', 'dog egg', 'one egg'..."

"What's your cheap name?" Qin Ke showed a wicked smile.

"Well... let's not talk about it." Abu scratched his head in embarrassment.

"Stingy. If you had said so, I would have told you my humble name by the way." Qin Ke said with a whimper.

"Ake, do you have a humble name?" Abu asked in surprise. In his opinion, Qin Ke's ability should not be that of an unknown country boy, and his master is even more mysterious...

"Do I look like a child born in a rich family?" Qin Ke spread his hands and said, "My family used to farm, but then there was a war, and there was a plague of locusts. The land was gone, and my parents died. My name is My master took it."

"Oh..." Abu scratched his head and said, "I thought..." At this point, he made a strange expression again and didn't continue talking.

The conversation between Qin Ke and Abu was naturally heard by the students around. The students present were all born in poverty, otherwise they wouldn't need to live in the residence that Zhuge Wanling arranged for them.

And since Qin Ke is also a child of a poor family, they naturally felt a sense of intimacy in their hearts, and they looked at Qin Ke with more and more joy in their eyes.Someone even proposed to use his monthly money to invite everyone to eat something, but Qin Ke just felt a little sleepy, so he didn't agree.

Speaking of food, Qin Ke felt the little lizard on his chest move.

He reached into his bosom to feel it, and quickly grabbed the restless little lizard out.

The little lizard has opened its eyes, but it seems that it is still a little angry to get up. Being caught in the air by Qin Ke, he has nowhere to focus, swings his tail, and utters a few dissatisfied chirps.

"Snake!" Everyone was startled at first, but soon discovered that the short limbs of the little lizard were all boys from a farming family, so they didn't have any fear.Seeing the little lizard's eyes full of emotion and his petite body, they felt a little love for him.

"Wow, Qin Ke, you still have a little thing." This is what the so-called student shouted, but although he was called a "little", his figure was as solid as a hill. "A big belly can tolerate", I think he must be one of the most generous people among the students.

"I brought it from home." Qin Ke gently placed the little lizard in the palm of his left hand. The little lizard looked around, its eyes flickering, as if curious that so many people around were staring at it excitedly.

It opened its mouth and made a crisp "squeak", as if it was yawning.

Abu looked at the little lizard, and he was also a little happy to see the lizard. He stretched out his hand and wanted to touch it.But the big innocent eyes of the little lizard were suddenly full of vigilance and fury!

His small back was tightly arched, his four feet tightly grasped Qin Ke's palm and arm, and his tail was straight like a hard iron tongs.He sizzled threateningly at Abu's hand, and his seemingly harmless body seemed to contain the majesty of a tiger.

Abu's hand was retracted like an electric shock.Although it seemed that the little lizard was just threatening, for some reason, he always felt that as long as he dared to move forward, the little lizard would really pounce on him and bite him.

Qin Ke was also a little surprised when he saw the angry look of the little lizard, but he felt a little embarrassed when he saw the little lizard screaming at Abu, so he patted it on the head and said, "What are you doing?"

The little lizard was still bowing its back and threatening everyone, but when it was slapped by Qin Ke, its body trembled and it almost fell from his hand. It stretched its limbs tightly and hugged it tightly. Qin Ke's eyes widened, looking at Qin Ke, he looked like a child in doubt.

Afterwards, he yelled with some dissatisfaction, this time it was the sound of chirping chirping, Qin Ke couldn't help laughing, he just felt that it was like a poor chicken venting his emotions at the moment.

"Don't be scary." Qin Ke stretched out his hand, and the little lizard became vigilant again, "This is my friend."

As Qin Ke stretched out his hand and slowly stroked its small head, it gradually calmed down. Although it looked at everyone with some vigilance, it no longer arched its back as a threat.On the contrary, it seemed to be enjoying Qin Ke's touch, and slowly closed its eyes, drowsy.

"Okay, it's all right." Qin Ke said with a smile, "It just hasn't seen anyone else."

Abu looked at the little lizard's enjoyment, and his surprise was indescribable: "What... is it? It seems to understand what you say?"

"I should be able to understand it." Qin Ke recalled the way he found him at the beginning, thinking that this foodie not only understood, but even knew how to play tricks, "Anyway, it is quite smart."

"Lizard, can you be so smart?" Abu asked strangely, "I only know that dogs can understand me...but that's not the case..."

"Never mind him." The fat boy Xiaoqian didn't care so much. Among the excited crowd, Xiaoqian's eyes were shining brightly, and even the corners of his mouth were unconsciously saving money. A lot of halazi.He stretched out his hand, not afraid of being bitten, and caressed the smooth back of the little lizard.

The little lizard immediately opened his eyes and glanced at him, but because of Qin Ke's serious gaze, he had to close his eyes slowly, quietly feeling Xiaoqian's indeterminate "ravage".

"Good boy." Xiaoqian's eyes lit up, "What's his name?"

"Name?" Qin Ke was stunned. Does a lizard need a name?

"That's right." Xiao Qian chuckled, "It's like my little white pig, I named him Xiao Hei."

Qin Ke's eyes widened: "Why is the little white pig called Xiao Hei?"

"Because he keeps rolling in the mud, and his whole body is covered in black mud."

Qin Ke pondered for a while, then said, "Then it's also called Xiao Hei."

Xiao Qian raised her head and said strangely: "Why?"

"Because he is very dark." Qin Ke said as it should.

In the palm of his hand, the little lizard, or Xiao Hei, opened his eyes wide, as if he couldn't believe that his name was so hastily decided.It barked, but because a fat hand kept pressing on his back, it had no choice but to lie down on the ground.

Chapter 78 Answers

Early the next morning, the rooster was clamoring at dawn.Qin Ke fell into a drowsy sleep, looking at the students around him who had started to get up, feeling the softness of the quilt, he didn't want to get up at all for a while.

"So early?" Qin Ke half closed his eyes, caught Abu beside him making the bed, and asked vaguely.

"There is morning reading in the morning." Abu replied, "Ake, you should also get up. Although the master said that you can decide whether to study or not, if you don't go to class, the master will definitely not be happy."

"If you're not happy, you're not happy..." Qin Ke lazily said, "I'm not his servant, why do I have to make him happy..."

Abu said helplessly, "Then you plan to lie down all day?"

"No." Qin Ke rubbed his head on the pillow and said, "I'll talk about it when I'm full of sleep. These days I've been worrying in the inn every day, and I haven't had a good night's sleep. I'll go find you when I've had enough sleep." .”

"Then... okay." Abu raised his eyes and glanced at Xiaoqian who was going out with "Xiao Hei" in his arms. After coming here one night, this little fat man and this little lizard got along unexpectedly well. The possible reason is that Xiaoqian likes to hide some food under the pillow because of Xiaoqian's appetite. Last night, he was able to resist himself from eating, and fed all of it to Xiaohei, and Xiaohei really ate all the food for one person. I ate the whole amount.

Not knowing where Qin Ke found such a peculiar little lizard, Abu put on his clothes and walked out slowly.Maybe take some time to look up the book?

After all the poor students walked out of the house, Qin Ke lazily turned over. Although the bed was not necessarily more comfortable than the one in the inn, it at least meant that he didn’t need to sleep in the open air for a period of time, so he It felt like a very comfortable sleep.

When Qin Ke finally got enough sleep, the sun was already three poles high.

After getting dressed, he walked out of the house slowly, and walked around while eating the pancakes specially brought for him by Abu.

Taixuetang looks ordinary on the outside, but there is something hidden inside. In the wide courtyard, an old tree is gradually growing tender new branches, and several rooms with open doors are filled with scrolls of books. The scent of books and ink comes to the face, but it is not choking, and it is humorous with the faint scent of flowers in the air.

The sound of reading is like gentle waves not far away, rising and falling for a while and sinking for a while.The breeze blew his hair, he stood in front of the school, and countless eyes looked over him.

"So, the princes will study archery seriously..." The old pedant still shook his head while holding the bamboo slips, but he felt that the students under his stage were not paying attention to him, so he knocked on the table with the bamboo slips in displeasure, saying : "I have to examine myself three times every day, do you still remember those three provinces?"

His old voice was somewhat heavy and majestic. Naturally, all the students dared not neglect, and replied in unison: "Are you not loyal to others? Are you not trustworthy when you make friends with others? Are you not accustomed to preaching?"

The old pedant stroked his beard and said slowly: "Then tell me, the third article is not easy to pass on, have you done it?"

No one spoke below, so the old pedant turned his head to the door, looked at Qin Ke who was standing there blankly, and naturally recognized him in the scholar's Confucian uniform, frowned, and said, "Who are you?"

Qin Ke didn't know how to answer, so he could only continue to stand without saying a word.

"Did the prime minister ask you to come?" The old pedant asked again, but he didn't get to the bottom of it. He just waved his hand and said, "Since you're here, don't just stand there, find a seat first."

When Qin Ke sat down, the old pedant narrowed his eyes again, looked at Qin Ke's crooked sitting posture, then moved his gaze to the manuscript in front of him, and began to chant again.

In fact, Qin Ke didn't plan to come in to attend classes at the beginning, but he walked in the Imperial Academy for a long time and felt a little deserted, so he wanted to come here to see how Abu usually attends classes.

He sat in the classroom, feeling the sunlight coming in from the window, and he felt drowsy again.

The old pedant's lectures gave him a strong sense of strangeness, but unfortunately the strangeness did not arouse his curiosity or interest. Instead, it was because the old pedant's chant according to the scriptures made him a little drowsy.

He began to miss the time when his master taught him. He often told himself some interesting stories. These stories contain the wisdom of the sages, the rise and fall of the country, and many historical celebrities. For example, there is a The assassin with the same name as him...

What's that man's last name?Isn't the surname Qin the same as yours?It seems that the surname is Jing... No, the surname is not Jing...

Qin Ke thought about it, but didn't remember it, but his thoughts about Master continued to swell in his heart.Last night Zhuge Wanling didn't say anything about his master's whereabouts, and Qin Ke didn't know whether he did it on purpose or not.

But he always felt that this matter was a little weird.

At this moment, with half-closed eyes, he heard the slightly sullen voice of the old pedant: "That who, that who..."

who?Which who?Qin Ke smiled lowly, only thinking that this title was really interesting.

"Ake...Ake..." He heard Abu's panicked voice, "Ake!"

Qin Ke looked at Abu, he was trying his best to wink at himself, even because he was too hard, it looked like he was rolling his eyes.

But Qin Ke soon lost sight of Abu's eyes, because at this moment a figure in a cotton robe stood between him and Abu.

Qin Ke looked up from those plain shoes, and saw that the old pedant was blowing his beard and staring wide-eyed, as if he wanted to eat him alive.

"You are..." The old pedant didn't know Qin Ke's name, so he couldn't call it out for a while, so he could only ask, "What's your name?"

"His name is Qin Ke, sir." Abu stood up in a panic, and said, "He didn't learn..."

"Shut up. It's not your turn to intervene." The old pedant glared at him, then turned back, "Qin Ke."

"It's me." Qin Ke replied.

The old pedant's tone contained anger, but as a teacher, it was not appropriate to lose his demeanor.He asked loudly, "Tell me, what is a shooter?"

Qin Ke hadn't reacted yet, so he didn't understand: "Ah?"

"Ah what?" the old scholar scolded angrily, "Old man, I have seen a lot of humble scholars, but I have never held back because of their humble background. But you managed to enter this Imperial Academy, but you are listening to the lectures. At that time, you were distracted, you are not sorry for the prime minister, but even more sorry for yourself!"

Qin Ke was silent for a while, thinking why did he feel sorry for Zhuge Wanling all of a sudden?Thinking of the conversation between him and Zhuge Wanling last night, he felt a little bad again.
