Perhaps the greatest advantage of power over democracy is that many things can be solved within a very small range. At this time, when the rebel army entered Hangzhou, it was the time when the power was at its peak. Therefore, although there were many people in the Wenlie Academy this afternoon, with the appearance of Chen Fan, to the end of the final confrontation, the sunset west At the next time, the gathered people gradually dispersed, and the final impact was not known to many people. Even if they passed the crowd who witnessed the confrontation nearby, they just thought it was an ordinary conflict that often occurred in the city recently, and silently passed by. , not many people mentioned it.
The academy currently only has half-day classes every day, and by the afternoon, all the teachers have already left. And in this neighborhood, those who actually lived were also the main force of Liu's Ba Dao Battalion. This time, on the one hand, it involves many middle-level generals such as Zhang Daoyuan, Li Tianyou, Xu Bai, Yuanxing, etc. If it is said that it is for profit, of course some people will be interested, but such conflicts are actually common in today's Hangzhou city. occur.
On the other hand, when the Ba Dao Ying and the madman Chen Fan appeared, it made people even less interested in exploring, because it was not good or interesting to get entangled with these people, it was basically like kicking a piece of iron. plate. Li Tianyou and the others are kicking the iron plate. It can be said that they are very powerful, muscular, and even domineering, but even if they watch for a long time under the sunset, these people are nothing more than kicking the iron plate. After watching for a long time, It is nothing more than a mood: "Hey, that person is kicking the iron plate."
In fact, such people are not the hegemonic class in the army, or the princelings who will be punished. If they are provoked, they will definitely be retaliated to death. Compared with Bao Daoyi, Si Xingfang and the like, who must be reported by Jairus, they are not terrible. People don't even know what they usually want to do. In the past, people were often provoked, and the biggest consequence was nothing more than slashing in front of the Shenggong. Some people were killed, and some were not. But in the end, you will find that you have to compete with this group of people. It doesn't mean anything, if you win or lose, you get nothing.
In short. For more than half of the mid-level generals. This is the impression left by Liu Xigua, Chen Fan and others, as for the other half. Most of them don't know who the two are. At this time, the situation of replacement among the rebels was serious. When new generals came in, most of them heard the names of Fang La and Fang Qifo. People like Chen Fan belonged to the same category. As for Liu Xigua's Ba Dao Battalion, except for the occasional war as a commando, in fact, There is not much brilliant military exploits, and there is not much sense of existence on weekdays.
So when the sky darkened, the surroundings of the academy were only restored to the usual scene. Light outlines the quiet silhouette of the yard, and bugs chirping in the trees. Occasionally, pedestrians and horses passed by outside the courtyard. When Ning Yi bought salt from the only grocery store outside, Xiaochan had already cooked and sat on the steps at the entrance of the courtyard with her chin on her back.
"Uncle, let's find a chance and run away." When Ning Yi came over, the little girl said mysteriously.
"Uh, why..." Ning Yi was stunned for a while, not knowing why Xiaochan said this.
In the past, it seemed that Ah Chang Ah Ming and others were not monitoring him closely, but he also knew that this was not the case. After this afternoon, he naturally understood more. At the end of the street at this time, although it seems that the lights are warm and yellow and the figures are sparse, it looks like people in ordinary streets and alleys, but the actual arrangement is probably not inferior to ordinary military camps. Probably the Naha Sword Battalion occupied a nearby area after entering Hangzhou. At this time, most of the people living around were elite veterans.
Like a serious old man in a grocery store across the street who was drinking rice wine and chatting with his neighbors, Ning Yi saw him on the roof this afternoon with an iron door bolt in his hand, and he looked like an iron tower in "Avatar". The mercenary boss.
"Because none of them locked us up."
"Is it okay to lock it up?" Ning Yi went in with a smile, and Xiao Chan got up and trotted after him.
"But Uncle is so powerful, although it's better now, but when I think about it, I always feel that they despise Uncle, and I think these people are really ignorant, hum. When I run away with Uncle, they will cry. ."
Speaking of which, Ning Yi naturally understood that she was joking. Since the night of the rainstorm, the little girl's temperament has become much calmer. It's not that she is not calm on weekdays, but since that night, she gradually has a little daughter-in-law-like demeanor.
In the past, Ning Yi was sitting by the bed reading a book, and Xiao Chan was sitting on the bench watching him. With her eyes flashing, she could often see that she was thinking about something on her mind, and she was eager to talk to Ning Yi. At this time, Xiaochan often just looks and thinks, not always thinking about expressing like a girl, as if with a smile on her face, she has certainty in her heart. I was joking at this time, probably to cover up other feelings.
When the food was cooked and started to be served outside, Xiaochan lowered her head and said, "Master, this afternoon... is there something wrong here?"
"Huh? No."
"But... But this afternoon, I saw my uncle talking to someone on the roof. At that time, Grandpa Liu asked me to make medicine. I didn't know, but after I boiled the medicine, I saw a wounded general talking to someone. Said that something happened here just now, and it looked murderous at first glance, so I came out to see it, but I didn't see anything." She put down the food, squatted over there and looked up at Ning Yi, pursed her lips, "I ran back quickly, saw Uncle here, and secretly went back, but when I went back, Grandpa Liu... looked at me like this, I think something might have happened, Uncle... "
The girl frowned as she imitated the patiently and inquisitive eyes of the old man, which seemed quite cute, but more of it was the other party's calm worry. Xiaochan is smart and clever, and is much more sensitive than the average person. Although she has not seen the whole picture of the incident, from the words of others, she also found that there is probably a problem here. She just talked about escaping. It seems to be a joke, but it is not necessarily true Worry in my heart. In the case of man-made swords, the sudden turbulence made the girl worry about the safety of her beloved. At this time, he just asked cautiously.
Ning Yi looked at her, passed a moment, and told what happened in the afternoon. Of course, the confrontation situation was roughly ignored, only that someone came to talk to him, and he answered a few words, it should be passed. In this way, Xiaochan finally felt relieved.
In the warm yellow fire, the two ate dinner together under the small eaves.
In the same night, in a corner of the city, Qu Weiqing and others who noticed Ning Yi during the day were not idle either. It seems to have no competition with the world, but there are always its interests. In the morning, I heard about Ning Yi's status as a prisoner. in the afternoon. He went to find Wen Kejang, but Wen Kejang went out of town. Back in the evening. At the banquet, Qu Weiqing invited a few staff members to hold a family banquet. At the banquet, Qu Weiqing mentioned that there were arrested scholars in the academy who were popular with the students because of their secular stories. Someone said: "This is also a good way to save life." Another said: "If it were me, I would kill him on the spot."
Qu Weiqing said this in a joking tone, Wen Kejang then nodded with a nonchalant smile. This month when the army entered the city, many people were arrested, and those who were killed and released were mostly handled simply, but there were always some people who were undecided for the time being. It is common for them to do things by placing them everywhere, Wen Ke made Yu ordinary scholars and the like do not like them much: "What is that person's name? Mr. Qu told Feng Yongli that he would find someone to be expelled. If you make too much noise, what's the harm in killing."
"Wen Shuai is right. This person is Ning Liheng. I heard that he has some talents and skills. Probably because he was worried after being caught, so..."
"Ning Liheng?" Qu Weiqing was talking when he saw Wen Kerang frowning. After a long while, he asked, "This person is in Wenlie Academy?"
Qu Weiqing was stunned, thinking that he had kicked the iron plate: "Wen Shuai knows this person?"
"I heard, if this person... you don't need to pay attention."
Hearing Wen Kejang say this, the rest of the staff were also interested and asked, "Does this person have a backstage?"
"Could it be the Great Confucian of Suzhou and Hangzhou, but I have never heard of it before."
Wen Kerang shook his head, but he didn't take it seriously: "I don't know much, but I don't have any background, you don't need to care. Naturally, there are a few people who protect him, but there are also many people who want to move him. Just ignore him."
What Wen Kejang said was naturally simple, but after spending all this time in this circle, at least Qu Weiqing and others could of course hear some inner meanings. Apparently Wen Kerang is not clear about the matter of Ning Liheng, but in a word, it belongs to another circle. In addition, this matter does not belong to the level they can relate to and deal with. Thinking about it this way, combined with what the students said about Huzhou and the nickname "blood-handed slaughter", although this person was arrested, I am afraid that he is already at the level of Fang Qifo and others. Think about those twenty The appearance of the early scholar who seems to be modest and silent, makes people feel a little scary.
Knowing this, he dismissed the idea of driving Na Ning Yi out of the academy. The next day, I told Guo Peiying, Guo Peiying seemed to be a little disapproving, and Qu Weiqing didn't bother to pay attention to him. When he saw Ning Yi again, Ning Yi nodded to him as usual. He nodded in response, suppressing his mood. He had a feeling of dealing with a big man, even though the big man was caught. After observing the other party's behavior, words, and deeds in secret, I felt that the other party's gestures were really deep, which conformed to the image of "blood-handed people slaughtering people who would be caught and killed in secret."
On the other hand, the children couldn't hide things from their mouths. After everyone in the academy had probably read Ning Yi's poems, the things about Huzhou finally spread to everyone's ears little by little. For a time, the rest of the Confucian scholars and scholars looked at Ning Yi with complicated and unspeakable eyes. Ning Yi naturally understood this, and just taught quietly, waiting for things to come to an end.
On the contrary, the number of students in the class he taught doubled in a few days, and the occasional questions were also bizarre, such as asking him about the battle of Huzhou, or asking him how he led the troops, which would change the course of teaching historical records. It was an art of war class, but Ning Yi was strong, and he could always talk about books in the first half of the class, and it was only when the latter half of the class was allowed for them to discuss freely.
On the third day, some students even brought knives to slash him. The first one was subdued by Ning Yi, and the others fought with several students in the class. The two sides were at each other's throats, and some people stood by the three generals who died in Huzhou. As for those who wanted to take Ning Yi's course, they probably regarded Ning Yi as a master of the art of war that originally belonged to the court, and their elders were also generals in the army. , Now that Ning Yi is already teaching here, he wants to learn "Zhao An" and learn skills from him.
In the hearts of these children, young teachers like Ning Yi, who were originally on the "orthodox" side and had skills, were probably much more attractive than the bandit-like uncles and uncles they saw on weekdays.
At first, there were a few students who wanted to let their uncles come to the school to see Ning Yi, and let him officially join the status here, but when they went back, no one came. As middle-level generals, most of the guys maintained an attitude of ignoring them. Some encourage the children in the family to learn something from this "blood-handed slaughter" Ning Liheng. On the other side, after the students who wanted to trouble Ning Yi went back to agitate, no one really led the troops to kill them, but they also encouraged the children at home to do it by themselves.
In this way, from this day onwards, the large and small conflicts in Wenlie Academy began to escalate. These children were somewhat clique due to the position of the elders in the family. At this time, the conflict intensified. It seems that the academy that studies the books of the sages has been turned into a small military academy.
Ning Yi was originally a little surprised by such a situation, but after a while, he began to guide him deliberately... ()
