The Nameless of the Common Clans

"You are..." Chen Mo looked at the young man who was about the same age as himself in front of him, feeling a little confused.

In the past two days, the news about Xu Shao's comments for him has spread. On this point, Xu Shao still insists on his principles. Some unconvinced Taixue disciples also came to discuss it. It's just that he was the first one so early. .

As expected, the disciples of Taiyuan College are very free, but he still has to go to the West Garden. He doesn't want to tangle with these people. If possible, he would like to hide in the military camp for a few days to relax. Although he has led people to fight, it is just... He hasn't been to the county guard, the real military camp yet.

"My Excellency, Yang Xiu, I have heard about Brother Chen for a long time, so I came here to pay a visit today." The other party didn't look aggressive, he just said in a friendly manner.

"It turns out to be Brother Yang, from the Hongnong Yang family. As expected, there are many talented people." Chen Mo clasped his fists and saluted, "It's just that I have some important things to do today, so I can't entertain you. I apologize for any offence."

Lu Zhi told him yesterday that the matter in Xiyuan should not be spread to outsiders. Although Chen Mo felt that since Lu Zhi told him, the confidentiality of this matter might not be that important, but he had already agreed, so it was better to keep his word. Not standing.

After Chen Mo finished speaking, he wanted to avoid Yang Xiu.

"Brother Chen, don't you want to know how everyone in Taiyuan College comments on this matter now?" Yang Xiu took a step forward and stood in front of Chen Mo, still smiling, but the distance was a bit subtle, and the distance between their faces was less than two feet. Yang Xiu's eyes were confident with a bit of arrogance, and there was already a hint of tit-for-tat.

"I don't think so." Chen Mo shook his head.

"Brother Chen is so indifferent, Xiu admires him in his heart, but since he is so indifferent, why bother to comment on the first day of the month? And it is also done in a despicable way. Brother Chen, does he know that this move is harmful to your career?" Yang Xiu looked at Chen Mo, Smiled.

"First of all, I never said that I am indifferent. Brother Yang and I are similar in age. In terms of temperament, we are not very different. Regarding fame, both of us are what we desire. I have never concealed it." Chen Mo was helpless and looked at it seriously. Yang Xiudao: "Secondly, the rules set by Mr. Zijiang are those who enter can be judged, but they do not limit the means, and it may not be wrong for me. Finally, Mo comes from a poor family. Most of the scholars in Taiyuan Academy have nothing to do with their background. Above me, Mr. Zijiang made comments about me, which undoubtedly contributed to my reputation, but for most people, I am afraid they don’t care whether I really live up to what Mr. Zijiang said, but rather how despicable my methods are.”

After a pause, Chen Mo stopped Yang Xiu who was about to speak and said: "Brother Yang is from a famous family. After four generations and three princes, how can he know human nature?"

"I know a little bit." Yang Xiu nodded and said, "But what does this matter have to do with human nature?"

"Scandals are always easier to accept than good reviews, especially when everyone thinks that I am inferior to them, they will instinctively hope that the scandal will be confirmed. At this time, no matter what I say, it is useless." Chen Mo said with a smile.

"These are the words of a villain!" Yang Xiu obviously could not accept this statement: "All disciples of Taiyuan College are gentlemen and have their own cultivation."

"There are 46,817 people in Taiyuan University. The actual number of people in Luoyang now is 28,921. How did Brother Yang determine the 28,921 people? Are we all gentlemen?" Chen Mo asked, "What do we, the scholars, learn?"

"I cultivate my mind, body, and morality." Yang Xiu frowned and said, "Brother Chen, why do you ask this?"

"In this sense, only one who possesses both mind, body, and morals can be considered a gentleman?" Chen Mo asked with a smile.

"Of course." Yang Xiu nodded, and suddenly felt that something was wrong. It seemed that he had been led by Chen Mo, and the other party was deliberately guiding him!

"Since you need to cultivate, it means you haven't had both. In other words, you are not a gentleman yet. Since you are not a gentleman, you still have selfish desires." Chen Mo looked at Yang Xiu, suddenly smiled, patted Yang Xiu on the shoulder and said: "I'm really sorry I have something to do, so how about that for today?”

"Brother Chen is so eloquent!" Yang Xiu nodded when he heard this, took a step back and said, "If you have time, would you like to talk to Brother Chen?"

"Of course." When Chen Mo saw Yang Xiu push away, he cupped his fists and saluted, then turned around and headed towards the West Garden.

"Human nature?" Looking at Chen Mo's back, Yang Xiu frowned and thought. Although Chen Mo's words seemed sophistical and diverted the topic, he had to say that there was some truth in what he said. Yang Xiu was Hongnong Yang. The legitimate son of Yang Xiu, who grew up in an aristocratic family since childhood. Although there are some psychological attacks in the book and some mentions of human weaknesses, Yang Xiu rarely thinks seriously about this aspect, and the environment where he grew up makes it difficult for him to have the opportunity to come into contact with it. There are too many dark sides of human nature. At this time, there are more doubts about Chen Mo's words.

…

Chen Mo didn't pay too much attention to Yang Xiu's appearance. Xu Shao's comments could indeed bring him some trouble, but it was more of a benefit.

He can be sure that Xu Zijiang didn't think about it at all when he commented to himself. If he was an ignorant and ignorant boy, this comment might make his reputation quickly turn into infamy after a short period of improvement. Unfortunately, He is not a playboy. People's doubts and provocations will gradually bring him more fame.

But the most important thing now is military power. It doesn’t require too much. But if he wants to climb up with merit, he must have at least a certain amount of military power. The new army is an opportunity, and Chen Mo doesn’t want to miss it. When he has military merit, these reputations It will bring you a lot of benefits, at least make your career go smoother.

The West Garden is outside the Upper West Gate. Although it is not a palace, it is the private property of the royal family and is guarded by soldiers. Chen Mo has Lu Zhi’s name card, but he does not have a token to enter the West Garden, so he can only ask someone to give the name card to that person. A general named Gao Shun was sent to pick him up.

After going back and forth like this for a quarter of an hour, Chen Mo entered the West Garden and found Gao Shun under the leadership of the soldiers.

Gao Shun was eight feet tall, with a white face and a slight beard. Although he was fair, he was not feminine. On the contrary, he had a very serious aura, which did not make people intimidated, but unconsciously gave rise to a sense of respect.

"Chen Mo?" Gao Shun looked at Lu Zhi's name card, then looked at Chen Mo and said.

"Exactly." Chen Mo couldn't help but stand up straight and salute Gao Shun with his fists raised.

"This is not how etiquette works in the military." Gao Shun looked at Chen Mo and said, "I have been ordered to select elites regardless of origin, only talent. No matter who recommends you, from this moment on, you have no identity with others. Wei, from now until the end, it will last for one month. If you can't hold on, you can't leave Xiyuan. You have to wait for His Majesty's edict, otherwise...behead!"

As Gao Shun said the word "cut", Chen Mo's heart tightened for no reason. This feeling was something he had never experienced in the dream training camp. Chen Mo immediately straightened up: "General, don't worry!"

"Join the queue!" Gao Shun pointed to the neat queue not far away and signaled to Chen Mo.

"Here!"
