Chapter 1132: A Friend Comes From Afar, No Matter How Far He Is, He Must Be Punished [Ask for Monthly Votes]

"So it's these two people?"

Zhai Le stared at the information and fell into a certain memory.

"...Haha, I have an impression."

Impressive to be precise.

His initial impression of the two came from a visit to the Holy Land of Mountains and Seas many years ago, where his brother tried to offer an olive branch to Gu De.

The Southeast Continent is dominated by small countries. The small countries have small land and few people. Their national power is about equal to that of the other countries. It is not enough to overwhelmingly defeat other countries. If they kill each other, no one will be able to gain favor. So we should just stick together to keep warm. Not only do they agree not to invade each other, , and will join forces to fight against major powers when necessary. This kind of cooperative behavior is not only used to protect ourselves against enemies, but also in other places, such as the holy land of mountains and seas!

If a country cannot open up the holy land of mountains and seas, how can it retain its own talents? This matter is almost related to the continuation and survival of a country. Since a small country does not have so many national games, it is naturally unable to start them independently. Southeast countries jointly organize the games and allocate quotas according to the proportion of the national games each time. Zhai Huan usurped the country through a coup, and Qu State was never recognized by this alliance and was repeatedly made things difficult for him.

The Holy Land of Mountains and Seas refused to take Qu Guo to play.

Qu Guo paid for the national fortune and did not get a quota.

A perfect example of someone who was taken advantage of.

This incident also became the trigger for Zhai Huan to use troops abroad. Qu Guo had a fight with several neighbors and was able to live in peace, but Liang Zi also ended up with it. The second time in the Holy Land of Mountains and Seas, Qu Guo paid for the national fortune but only received half of the normal quota. Zhai Le didn't want to do it on the spot. Do you think people from Qu State are monkeys? Playing once is not enough, why do you do it a second time? This hasn’t hurt yet!

Zhai Le was stopped.

[Zhai Xiaofang, don’t cause trouble to the Lord. 】

[Yu Guilong, do you call this adding chaos? These old immortals out there just squatted on my head, took off their crotch and peed on me. How can I get angry and cause trouble? Are you a big man after all? Is it a little bloody? 】

Zhai Le was very angry.

Greet those old guys with the dirty words you've learned all your life.

Yu Haidao: [Now you are beating people to death out of anger, can you kill ten or eight, can you kill hundreds or thousands? Even if you don't think about your brother, you still have to think about the students of Qu State who are still here. If they are buried here, is it worth it? 】

Because it is jointly organized by many countries, the location is naturally not within the territory of Qu State, and each country in the alliance takes turns to be the host. In order to make up for the loss of the host country, the host country of that session can be allocated a few more places. This time the host had a fight with Qu Guo.

If he wants to overturn the table, Qu Guo and his party will not be able to leave alive.

Zhai Le was so angry that his chest rose and fell rapidly.

He clenched his fists angrily and smashed the table to pieces. Looking at the fans scattered on the floor, he gritted his teeth and said, "These old men, wait!" 】

Two great humiliations, which cannot be washed away except by the blood of an old man.

The number of quotas assigned to Qu State was less than half as expected, which resulted in more than half of this group of scholars being unable to enter the Holy Land of Mountains and Seas. The scholars were very excited. Some people criticized the countries of the Southeast Alliance, while others hated Qu State without knowing the truth - there were three of them. They are children of the Zhai family, and all three of them got the final spots. Even if they rely on their strength, how can a scholar who feels like he's being tricked believe it?

The envoys from the various alliances looked at this farce with amusement.

Zhai Le was very worried.

A clear explanation would be tantamount to breaking up with other countries on the spot, and it was still unknown whether their group could leave alive; without a clear explanation, the emotions of these scholars could not be comforted. At this moment, Zhai Le wanted to kill his enemy. The scene was extremely ugly. In the end, the dean of Quqing Academy came forward to help.

[There have been changes in the Holy Land of Mountains and Seas this year, resulting in a shortage of places. It is true that we failed to notify in place, so that you all will be happy in vain. In order to make up for your losses, after the Shanhai Holy Land is closed, you can go to Quqing Academy. The whole academy is waiting for you. 】

As soon as this statement came out, the crowd was in an uproar.

Where is Quqing Academy?

It is a well-known university that everyone in the Southeast Continent aspires to.

The original founder of the Academy came from a poor family. It is said that he gained a lot in the Holy Land of Mountains and Seas. Before he left, he was an ordinary scholar with a literary heart. After he came out, he became a talented scholar who had perfected the way of a scholar. He was well aware of the hardships of studying, so he traveled to a place and built a college on the original site. He took the word "Qingqing" from "asking the canal how clear it is, so that there is a source of running water."

He was in charge of this academy, and many students from poor families came here because of its reputation. He selflessly shared the words he had collected and copied throughout his life, and he also answered questions for the students. At the same time, he also actively dealt with various families and borrowed precious unique copies from them.

The deeds of this dean also attracted many scholars who were tired of the intrigues in troubled times. A group of like-minded people learned from each other and made progress here. After going back and forth, Quqing Academy became more famous.

In the eyes of southeastern scribes, he had a transcendent status.

It is also for the sake of Quqing Academy. The country where Quqing Academy is located has also been at peace for many years. Everyone tries not to fight with it, but if it takes the initiative to be a bitch, there will be no discussion.

Zhai Le did not expect that Quqing Academy would end up in such troubled waters.

Fortunately, the promise is effective.

The scholars who were making a fuss at first calmed down immediately, with uncontrollable joy on their faces, and even the scholars who got the quota looked at them with regret and envy. It can be seen that the attraction of entering this academy is comparable to the quota of mountains and seas holy land. A trouble was gone, and Zhai Le rushed to cast a grateful look at the young man who came forward.

【Thank you! I don’t know what to call you sir? 】

[The wise come first, how can Gu be worthy of the title of ‘Mr.’? General, just call Gu for your tolerance. ] The young man was accompanied by another young man with outstanding spirit. The young man seemed to be dressed simply, but his noble temperament was obviously not something that ordinary people could cultivate. Zhai Le secretly analyzed the two of them, and heard the young man at the beginning say, [How is Senior Brother Zhai these days? ]

[Senior Brother Zhai? ]

[Zhai Yuewen, Senior Brother Yuewen. ]

Zhai Huan was invited to study at Quqing Academy for two or three years. Zhai Le didn’t pay much attention to this experience because he was still very young at that time and played in the mud with snot all day long. After learning the cause and effect, Zhai Le realized that the end of Quqing Academy was mostly to help its own family. Zhai Le said: [Brother has been in good health in recent years. ]

Gu De: [It’s good to be healthy. The teacher also mentioned Senior Brother Yuewen a while ago and said that he dreamed of Senior Brother Yuewen when he first came. 】

When Zhai Le mentioned Zhai Huan's physical condition, he was not in high spirits and changed the subject a little stiffly: […This young man has a fairy-like appearance and jade-like qualities, which makes people happy at first sight. I wonder if he is a student of Quqing Academy? Can Yourong introduce him? 】

The young man took the initiative to introduce himself.

[Xiahou Yu, whose courtesy name is Zikuan, has met General Zhai. 】

When he heard Xiahou Yu's surname, Zhai Le swallowed back his words of poaching. Through the greetings, Zhai Le learned that both of them were scholars who were going to enter the Holy Land of Mountains and Seas this time, and he was surprised. He thought that both of them were the leaders of Quqing Academy!

Quqing Academy has a special status, and there are several fixed quotas inside. The talented students of the academy all go in early to experience and maximize their potential. In the history of the academy, Gu De and Xiahou Yu are both "old".

Gu De has obviously seen this kind of look more than once.

He smiled and explained the reason.

[I have limited talent, unlike other students, so it doesn't matter if I am a few years late. Zikuan wanted to join me, so he kept delaying. This year, I finally satisfied the teacher, so I will give it a try. ]

Zhai Le listened to it perfunctorily.

He always knew that the mouths of these scholars could not be trusted.

Oh, except for his elder brother.

The final result was not unexpected.

Gu De, who claimed to have limited talent, performed well in that session, and was on par with Xiahou Yu, and both of them were white-collared.

White-collared means unowned and can be recruited.

Xiahou Yu is not sure, but Gu De still has hope.

Zhai Huan wrote a personal letter to the dean of Quqing Academy, implicitly mentioning whether Gu De had a place to go and whether he had the intention to enter the officialdom. He said it obscurely, but how many scholars with literary mind were stupid? Gu De declined politely, not only rejecting Quguo, but also rejecting the olive branches of his own country and the two stronger countries in the Southeast Alliance.

The reasons and words were unified.

He just wanted to stay in Quqing Academy as a teacher and inherit the will of his predecessors. The career of intrigue and deception was not suitable for his personality.

Zhai Le never paid attention to this person again.

He never thought that he would see this name again many years later, and it was actually now. Zhai Le sighed, and his mind also emerged with a hurried glance on the mountain road that day. The young man on the mountain road was completely different from Gu De he saw that year, so it was no wonder that he didn't recognize him at first glance.

In addition to Gu De, this information also included Xiahou Yu.

"Things have really changed."

Zhai Le knew that the envoy he sent out that year was beaten up by students of Quqing Academy. Ha, he did it on purpose. Before the envoy went on the mission, Zhai Le also specifically hinted that the other party should not be polite. It would be best if it could promote cooperation between the two countries. If it couldn't promote cooperation between the two countries, it would give him a reason to go to war. Quqing Academy is the umbrella of this country. Zhai Le had to use some ideas to move this country.

But he didn't expect Quqing Academy to cooperate so well.

The envoy just raised the conditions of cooperation in the court and made them more demanding, and then spread the word among the scholars, so that the students of Quqing Academy took the bait, and the envoy of Qu State was beaten up by them. Haha, the envoy woke up laughing in his dreams.

Qu State used this incident as an excuse to pressure the royal family.

Zhai Le only knew that Quqing Academy handed over the culprit.

The royal family dealt with the culprit.

But Zhai Le didn't care who the culprit was or what his name was.

When the envoy came back, he only said that a teacher in Quqing Academy was eager to protect his students and took the initiative to confess his guilt, and was hurriedly pushed out by the royal family as a scapegoat. When the envoy mentioned this teacher, there was admiration, sighing, and ridicule in his eyes.

Zhai Le asked him what he was laughing at.

The envoy said: [That teacher is too simple. ]

It is suitable to be born in a stable world, not in a chaotic world. And how many days in history have the world been stable?

Zhai Le, who had sorted out all this, rubbed his forehead with a headache.

In terms of favor, I do owe these two, and I have to repay them. But in terms of position, the winner is the king, the loser is the enemy, and I am also their enemy. Zhai Le scratched his hair unconsciously with his fingers, muttering: "But great favor is like great hatred..."

It's really hard to deal with.

The confidant said cautiously: "My lord, but you have to-"

He made a gesture of cutting the grass and eradicating the roots.

Zhai Le looked at the information on the table, and his peach blossom eyes were full of stars: "One was sentenced to death, and the other's heart collapsed. Even if they have a big grudge against me, they can't make any waves."

The confidant said: "I know."

Zhai Le sneered: "What do you know?"

The confidant looked at his smile and shuddered vaguely.

He said anxiously: "My lord is kind."

Zhai Le said: "I only know how to cut the grass and eradicate the roots."

Destroying the mansion and being executed does not mean there is no hope for life. If Xiahou Yu thinks things through and is no longer naive, and risks his life, wouldn't that leave a hidden danger for himself? Gu Dedao's heart collapsed. Who knows when he will suddenly realize and glue it back?

Perhaps, it has been glued back.

Otherwise, how could he escape unscathed from Erya's arrow?

Perhaps even his appearance that day had a purpose!

Mercy?

Being merciful to the enemy is cruel to yourself.

Considering the grace of rescuing him in the past, the two bodies can be left intact.

Zhai Le looked at the third piece of information, which was Shen Tang's current vest. Compared with the previous two pieces of information, this piece of information can only be described as shabby. The information records that this body has no name, and it is the byproduct of a prostitute and a patron who had a night of pleasure in a certain place. After several abortions, it could not be aborted and had to be born. This child was born without a mother and was adopted by a secret prostitute who was friendly with his biological mother.

In addition to malnutrition, the reason for her thin hair was that she was scalped by the woman and her relatives who came to catch her in adultery in order to protect the elderly prostitute. Later, in order to treat the prostitute, she had to steal, but she was caught in two days. Zhai Le sneered at the content: "How could a weak ten-year-old child take away three thousand taels of silver from the treasury?"

Frame-ups also require some brains.

Zhai Le has seen too many dark routines in recent years, and he can see the trick at a glance. Most of the money in the treasury has been taken away by the rats, and he was worried about the accounting, but he ran into a fool. He didn't stop at one thing and blamed all the deficit on her.

Born by a prostitute, raised by a prostitute.

No one cares how she died.

He never expected the country to die so soon.

The tool used to settle the account was not executed in time, and the Qu State had to reopen the unclear and muddled injustice. She survived by accident. As for the granddaughter of the Xinglin doctor and the family background, it was all nonsense!

These words could not be her idea.

The only possibility is that Gu De and Xiahou Yu instructed them.

What are their intentions? What do they want to do?

Zhai Le looked at the sky outside with cold eyes.

"Remember to do it cleanly."

"I obey your command!"

Two things -

Shen Tang happily grinned and received the double reward. She refused other people's help and had to hold it in her arms.

This heavy weight really fascinated her.

After Kangguo fought with Beimo, he attacked Gaoguo. How much money did Xun Zhen burn? How much debt did he let her bear? Shen Tang didn't even have the courage to look at the specific amount. I thought I would have to pay off my debts until I die, and I would never touch my own little money in this life!

She never expected that the money earned by Zixu would not be deducted! She unilaterally announced that [Zixu Wuyou] is the most awesome way of scholars, and Tunan is the leader of scholars!

No! Yes! One!

However, this joy did not last long.

She felt a little tail following her, and her smile faded.

"No way, Zhai Xiaofang wants to take back this little reward?"

"If you can't afford to play with your uncle, don't play!"
