After Xiaojiang Academy and Yandao Academy converged, it took three days to arrive in Pingdu.
The number of people in Yandao Academy is smaller than that of Xiaojiang Academy, only ten people.
After all, they are not the protagonists this time, and the students of Yandao Academy are not as strong as those of the five major academies. Sending too many students will actually lower the average level of students in the academy.
Along the way, Ma Hualong was observing everyone in Yandao Academy, especially Yan Ruosui. He wanted to find out what was hidden behind their smiles.
However, to his disappointment, the other party didn't show his flaws at all. Not only him, but even the students in Yandao Academy admired Cao Gui.
Even the other people in Xiaojiang Academy also received a lot of benefits brought by this kind of admiration.
It can be explained that one person is like this, but ten people are like this? Ma Hualong didn't believe it anyway.
But there is still a long way to go to Lancheng, and after arriving in Lancheng, you can know what the other party is thinking.
The other party can pretend for a while, but sooner or later they will show their feet.
…
Hirato is not considered an important city on the territory of Izumo.
It is neither at a strategic point, nor a place where business routes gather, let alone a prosperous place.
However, after Izumo destroyed the country, Hirato became one of the most important cities.
The place where Tohoku Dogofu is now renamed Izumo Dogofu.
Izumo is actually the name of the country, not the name of the region. Surprisingly, after Izumo destroyed the country, Dayao actually named this place the Izumo region, which surprised many people.
Just like when Qin destroyed the Six Kingdoms back then, if the regions were divided into Zhao, Qi, and Chu regions, it would remind everyone almost all the time that you are a group of subjugated people.
And I am the winner!
In fact, only a few people know that Ren Baqian wanted to change the name of this place.
However, bringing this thought to the Empress, the Empress just said lightly:
"The name Izumo is easy to pronounce, so let's call it Izumo.
As for what they think... When Izumo is still there, they can't do anything to our army.
Now that Izumo is dead, what can they do? I just want to remind them that under the blade of my sword, you all have to keep yourselves safe! If they can't do it, I'll let them do it. "
Ren Baqian also worried about this for a long time.
When dealing with the outside world, the empress always likes to decide many things according to her own preferences.
For example, cut off the envoy of his country...
The Empress has done this more than once.
To be an envoy in Dayao is to risk one's life.
So far, nothing seems to be able to start and end well.
The Daxia envoy who lived the longest before was also beheaded after refusing to surrender.
All of the above explains why the out-cloud area is still called cloud-out.
Hirato was not important in the past, but now Hirato is the center of the Izumo area.
It is also the end of the road from Lancheng to Izumo.
…
"How about a bet? Guess which academy we will meet first when we are here." Cao Gui lightly bumped the young man with red lips and white teeth with his shoulder.
"I never gamble, nor will I gamble with you." The young man said with a cold face.
"How boring is that? In life, there must be some excitement." Cao Gui said with a smile.
"Not interested!" The young man took two steps faster and ignored him.
The young man is Xue Yuanpei among the three most outstanding disciples of Xiaojiang Academy.
Xue Yuanpei, Ma Hualong, and Cao Gui each have their own characteristics. Among them, Ma Hualong is ugly, Cao Gui is gambling, and Xue Yuanpei is old-fashioned, stubborn, has no hobbies, is not close to women, is not manly, does not collect money, is not greedy for power, and is a boring person who cannot find any shortcomings. He is still responsible for the beauty of the academy.
"Hualong... Forget it, you still owe me a banquet at Yunyan Tower!" Cao Gui glanced at Ma Hualong and shook his head.
"I still don't know who will lose and who will win!" Ma Hualong said.
"Cao Gui dodged among the people at Yandao Academy at the back of the line, hooking Yan Ruosui's shoulder: "Do you want to make a bet? "
Yan Ruosui laughed: "Brother still likes to bet with others so much!"
Now he still remembers that when he faced those murderers, he felt that he was going to die this time.
But the trembling girl behind him made him stand in front of her through gritted teeth.
"Do you want to make a bet?" When the voice appeared, he hadn't reacted yet.
"Bet on what kind of poison you were poisoned just now? Look at the three bottles in my hand, one of which is the antidote, and the other two are poisons that attack immediately... Do you want to bet?"
"I just sprinkled the poison into the wind. Haven't you smelled that greasy fragrance like the girl in Zuixianglou? It's just gouging out your own eyes... You probably still have, um, let me do the math, there's probably half a cup of tea left."
"Of course, you can also bet that I lied to you...Which one do you want to bet on?"
Sitting on the eaves of the house, Cao Gui was beating a fan with one hand and carrying a wine jug with the other, with a red lip mark left by some girl on his face, laughing wantonly at the people below.
Turning his mind around, Yan Ruosui said with a smile: "Since elder brother has such a passion, younger brother is naturally willing to accompany him. I don't know what to bet?"
"On the way!" Cao Gui patted him and praised him. "Let's make a bet, which academy we will meet next, presumably it is not just our two academies who will come to Pingdu."
The people around who were interested in listening to it suddenly found it very difficult after hearing the content.
You have to know that this time it's not just the five academies, you don't even know which academies will participate, so how do you guess
"Let's talk about the bet first. For the loser, how about treating everyone present with a drink?"
After hearing Cao Gui's words, everyone's favor increased greatly.
It doesn't matter if you lose this kind of bet. What's more, the content of this bet is also very interesting. Although there is a certain element of luck, it also depends on the individual's analytical ability.
"Okay, brother guess first!" Yan Ruosui said immediately.
"Since you all call me Brother Sheng, of course you should come first. If other people want to gamble, they can also name their favorite names. If several people are wrong, then several people invite together. "Cao Gui greeted the others around him.
"Then you're welcome, I guess it's the Drunken Scripture Hall!" Yan Ruo said.
"I guess it's the Drunken Scripture Hall!" Another person laughed.
"I guess it's Zhitai Academy!" A delicate girl raised her voice.
"I guess it's Leitang Academy..."
Everyone guessed one after another, but there were only three names after guessing.
The Drunken Scripture Hall is located near here, and the students are most familiar with Pingdu.
When many academies come here, they will let the students wait in the inn, so as not to cause trouble. And the students of Drunken Scripture Hall are definitely not in this case.
Shibadai Academy is the only academy in Izumo that has more women, and when women arrive in a new place, they always like to hang out the most.
As for Leitang Academy, the people in Leitang Academy like to investigate the local prices everywhere they go.
Leitang Academy is the academy that is most closely connected with many chambers of commerce.
"Brother, what do you guess? It won't be the manor. If we don't guess correctly, we will be counted as brother?" Yan Ruosui said with a smile.
"How could I do that!" Cao Gui coughed lightly. "I guess it's Wangjing Academy!"
"Huh?" Everyone gasped lightly.
Even Ma Hualong, who pricked up his ears to listen to the discussion behind him, found it strange.
How could it be Wangjing Academy
"Cao Gui, it really is you. I saw it upstairs just now, and I thought I was mistaken. What do you want to do about the matter between you and my sister?" An angry man's voice suddenly sounded from behind the line.
Everyone turned their heads and saw that the person who came was actually wearing the clothes of Wangjing Academy.
He suddenly understood that Cao Gui must have seen the other party upstairs and knew that the other party would definitely come to him before making such a bet.
But everyone's ears were pricked up at this time, what did Cao Gui do to make those old-fashioned students of Wangjing Academy who study classics every day say such things in public regardless of his sister's reputation!
"Haha, it really is Brother Zhu. I glanced at it before and thought it looked like it." Cao Gui didn't have the feeling of being caught after doing something bad. He hooked the other person's shoulder affectionately and whispered a few words to the side. .
"Really?" The visitor seemed to relax a little with his angry face.
"The real can't be fake, and the fake can't be real. Don't worry!" Cao Gui laughed.
"Xiaohuan, she..."
"Don't worry! When you come back from Lancheng this time..."
"If you have half a lie..."
"Tell me to lose every bet!"
"Hmph, I hope you can do what you say!"
"Brother Zhu, don't worry!"
Cao Gui pulled the other party aside and didn't know what he said specifically, only a few scattered words floated over, which made everyone's hearts itch even more.
After seeing a few words, the face of the other party slowed down, nodded at him, turned around and left without paying attention to the others.
"Everyone, I heard that the best restaurant in Lancheng is called Shanhuailou!" Cao Gui turned his head and winked at the crowd.
"Big brother must have a drink!" Everyone in Yandao Academy laughed.
Although it was a loss, everyone didn't care, and thought Cao Gui was very interesting.
Moreover, everyone has heard of Cao Gui's name. One of the most talented disciples of Xiaojiang Academy, he has no airs at all at this time, and everyone likes to make friends with him.
