Ask Sword

  Chapter 100 Flying Sword

   "Master, put on your belt!"

   "Phew, I almost forgot."

  In the early morning, in the new mansion in Jinchengfang, Li Ang and Chai Cuiqiao hurriedly washed and cleaned up.

  Put on a brand-new gown and soap boots, put on a head, and tie a 蹀躞 (a popular leather belt in Yu State, on which are hung sachets, jade pendants, knives, gravels and other carry-on items),

   After repeatedly confirming that nothing was left behind, Li Ang put on the medicine box with the pure gold head ring, and walked out of the house with Chai Cuiqiao.

  Today is the opening day of the academy, and the carriages of Yang Yu, Ji Linglang and others are already waiting outside the courtyard gate.

   Chai Cui nodded vigorously, pulled the bay red horse out of the stable, and handed the reins into Li Ang's hands—after careful breeding during this period, the bay red horse has become slightly fatter than before, and its hair is shiny.

   Li Ang led the horse to the courtyard gate, Chai Cuiqiao adjusted his collar again, and whispered: "Master, be careful."

   "It's just going to the academy, there's nothing unsafe. Take care of the house, and I'll be back at night."

  Li Ang rubbed Chai Cuiqiao's hair with a smile, walked out of the yard, got on his horse, and walked side by side with Yang Yu's and Ji Linglang's carriages to the Jinguang Gate of Chang'an City.

   Along the way, you can see many boys and girls riding horses, luxury carriages, or trucks full of personal items—there is a rather large dormitory inside the academy,

  Out-of-town students who do not have a place to live in Chang'an can apply to live on campus, and only need to pay a symbolic fee of two yuan per year.

  Of course, there are also some students who originally lived in Chang'an, and will apply to live in the Xuegong dormitory.

  Some of them don’t want to go out of the city every morning and evening,

  Some are for the purpose of expanding interpersonal relationships—students in the same dormitory must be closer than other students.

  The Academy will not refuse such a request. Anyway, the dormitory is vacant, but there is an extra charge, 500 per year.

  It sounds okay at first glance, but if you think about it carefully, five hundred guan a year means three hundred and seventy guan for one day.

  The cheapest and low-end hotels in Chang’an City cost 20 Wen a night, mid-level hotels 50 Wen a day, and high-end hotels 100 Wen a day. The entire lease of the house with gardens is consistent every day.

  The accommodation in the Academy is always three hundred and seventy cash per day, which is already an exaggeration.

  ‘Sure enough, I have handled too much money during this period, and I don’t take money as money. '

   Li Ang secretly shook his head.

  The prices in Chang’an are skyrocketing compared to those in Weizhou. In Weizhou, spending 200 Wen a day is already a big deal.

  Come to Chang'an, spent 5,000 guan to redeem You Duzhi, 6,000 guan to buy special materials, and 2,000 guan to Mosi.

   In just a few months in Chang'an, you have already spent so much money?

  When he thought of Mosi who was waiting to be fed, Li Ang's face darkened unconsciously.

  Recently, due to the outbreak of local wars in Fusang, which is rich in silver mines, the price of silver in Chang'an City has risen to two hundred coins per tael, and it seems that there is still a rising trend.

   If it keeps rising like this, let alone gold ingots, silver ingots will be unaffordable.

  ‘If I had known that in the Hall of Liangyi that day, I wouldn’t have been arrogant with the emperor and empress, and refused more rewards,’

  Li Ang thought silently: ‘Even if it’s about the son-in-law, it’s not impossible to discuss it’

  Thinking wildly, the bay red horse and the two carriages beside it had already driven out of the Golden Light Gate, and under the cautious and envious eyes of the city gate guards and Chang'an citizens, they were heading towards Xiashan Mountain in the southwest direction of Chang'an.

   Revisiting the old place, adding a bit of emotion,

  The convoy drove through the vast pasture during the initial test, along the winding road, came to the gentle **** to the west of Xiashan Mountain, and stopped in front of the archway of the Academy.

   "Freshmen who have been working for three years come here!"

  Calls full of anger sounded from under the archway, and there were more than a dozen tables set up at the gate on the west side of the academy.

The shouting came from a fat young man with a round face wearing a jade belt - he was smiling and waving towards the convoy. On his waist was a jade belt that was similar to Cheng Juxiu's "Xuegong Tour". Jade plaque.

   "Your Highness?!"

   "King of Yue?"

  Some freshmen who live in Chang’an were shocked when they saw the round-faced youth.

  Yang Yu got out of the carriage and whispered to Li Ang: "Your Majesty's fourth prince, the King of Yue, is also a disciple of the Academy, five years older than us. He should graduate next year. I never thought he would come to receive the new students."

  I didn’t see King Yue at the Liangyi Hall dinner that day, but his name was Li Hui, right? It is said that it is very popular with the emperor and empress.

   Li Ang watched the convoy stop, got off the horse, and handed the reins to the servants of the academy who came up to him, and asked them to lead the claret horse to the stable.

   "Your Highness."

  Pei Jing and other officials and eunuchs stepped forward, bowed their hands respectfully to King Li Hui of Yue, but was interrupted by Li Hui with a smile: "Don't call me Your Highness in the academy, you are all classmates. Just call me Shiro from now on."

  The title of "ranking+lang/mother" is commonly used in the Yu country, and the children of officials and dignitaries hesitated for a while before calling Shiro hesitantly.

   "Shiro, what are you doing?"

   "Why are you here to receive new students? Anyway, if you are idle, you are idle, not to mention that my sister is here this year."

   "Sister? Which princess is it?"

   Seeing the surprise and astonishment on the faces of the crowd, Li Hui smiled and waved to the crowd.

   "Fourth brother."

  The girl who got off the luxury carriage took off the light yellow veil on her face, and walked forward with a smile.

   "Princess Guanghua."

  Pei Jing and the others looked shocked,

  Yang Yu, who was standing next to Li Ang, also opened his mouth wide, and quickly explained to Li Ang that Princess Guanghua's name is Li Leling.

   But there are rumors that this Princess Guanghua has not been in good health since she was a child, so she unexpectedly came to the academy this year.

   "No wonder the King of Yue came out to greet him in person, it turned out that Princess Guanghua was also there"

  Yang Yu clicked his tongue, and suddenly noticed Li Ang's raised eyebrows, "What's wrong with Risheng?"

   "Oh, nothing."

   Li Ang didn't explain how he and Chai Cuiqiao knew Li Leling, and stood behind the crowd waiting for registration.

  There are more than 500 freshmen applying to live on campus. After registration, they will be led by the old students to the dormitory, where they will put their personal belongings, and then visit the school.

  The more than 200 people who do not live in the school will be divided into five groups directly after registration.

  Led by King Li Hui of Yue, three other old students, and the non-existent Ninth Prince Guang Wang Li Shan who walked out from behind Li Hui,

  Take a tour around the academy.

   "The school covers a vast area, and our current location is the square at the main entrance on the west side.

  There is half a mountain on the left side, which is the grass field, martial arts field and horse field—that is, the field for your first test.

  The large building directly in front is the Supervisory Building. Taught courses such as national history, mathematics, and laws of law. Talismans, techniques, swords, reads, etc. for new students are also taught there.

   On the left rear of the Supervisory Building is the cafeteria, and behind it is the dormitory—the cafeteria employs famous chefs from all over the world, and the cuisine changes every day. Students should take me as a lesson and be careful not to gain weight.

   And behind the southern woods on our right hand side are farmland and greenhouses. This is where agronomy and herbalism are taught.

  Everyone must pay attention to the signs hanging outside the greenhouses and farmland——

  Some plants are dangerous to ordinary people and even monks, while some plants are extremely precious, even rare in the world. If you step on it and break it, be careful that the doctor and professor will come to your door and try your best.

  Chuiyun Lake is on the right side of the farmland and greenhouse. After crossing the bridge is the Zangshu Pavilion where the books are stored, and the Dongjun Building where the seals are different.

  Everyone should know Dongjun Tower.”

  Li Hui smiled and led everyone along the road to the academy. Indeed, as some rumors said, Li Hui, King of Yue, had a unique personality charm.

  Even if it’s just a tour guide, casual small talk can be refreshing.

  The time for the old students of the Academy to return to school was three or four days ago. Walking on the road, from time to time, they could see some disciples of the Academy, strolling and chatting on the lawn and among the forests.

   "The sword is coming!"

  A young school student and his companions were walking along the path in the forest, seeing no one around, secretly pulled out a mahogany sword from his waist, gave a light drink, and stepped on the wooden sword,

  The man and the sword were suspended at a height of half a foot above the ground, and jumped forward for a certain distance, until the flying sword was powerless, and then landed wobbly.

  The academy student turned around and raised his chin triumphantly towards his companions.

  Li Hui, who was leading the freshmen to visit the academy, heard the movement, snorted, and flicked his fingers towards the forest, causing the mahogany sword to escape from control and fly towards him.

  The school disciples who had just played a game of Yujian Flying chased out from the forest. When they saw Li Hui who was pulling his face, it was too late to run, so they had to lower their heads and approach.

   "Playing flying swords in the no-fly zone, confiscated, go to the doctor to write a confession review."

  Li Hui pinned the wooden sword on his waist, waved away the sighing school disciples, turned to the freshmen and smiled, "They were sophomores last year.

  The study time in the Academy is four to seven school years, and most of the students will wait for seven years before graduating.

  In the first year, in addition to courses such as Yulu and National History, you must have a basic understanding of the five systems such as Fushu, Jiannian, and so on. In the second year, choose the path that suits you.

  Because Yu Jian comes from Yu Nian, the progress is slower than that of Talisman, Shu and Nian. You have to reach the state of hiding and listening to the rain—usually in the second or third year of school, before you can learn to fly with the sword.

  Some disciples couldn't help but want to play Yujian Flying to the Sky and Earth when they just learned it.

  In such a situation, you must be educated severely, otherwise it will be too easy to break your hands, feet and even your neck.”

  Yue Wang Li Hui said casually, Li Leling moved to Li Ang's side, coughed lightly, "I'm so sorry. I didn't tell you and Cuiqiao my identity before."

"Princess."

  Li Ang cupped his hands politely and plainly, but he didn't think it was a big deal. It's personal freedom to tell or not to tell about things like status, "I don't mind. Do you want me to tell Cuiqiao the news?"

   "No, there's no need. I didn't say it because I was enrolled by special recruitment"

  Li Leling pursed her lips, "Well, is Cuiqiao at home tonight? After school, I will go to Jinchengfang to apologize to her personally"

   King Yue, who was chatting in front of the crowd, saw his sister talking to Li Ang in a low voice, raised his eyebrows imperceptibly,

  As for Yang Yu and the others, when they saw Li Ang and Li Leling standing side by side, they looked confused.
