Zhang Tao nodded and said, "Hello, Uncle Zheng, my name is Zhang Tao."
"Brother Wanli? Is he what you often said before, the best hunter in your village? Haha, it turns out that the tiger father has no dog son, and his son can actually stand out in your village. I want to meet this Zhang Wanli, come on, come in
Talk." Officer Zheng said with a smile.
After walking inside, there were only some simple furnishings. Although simple, they were complete. After the escort put down the tea, Zhaolong and Mr. Zheng began to chat happily.
We haven’t seen each other for many years, and it is essential for everyone to reminisce. Fortunately, Zhang Tao did not interrupt and listened quietly. The content of their chat was almost all about recalling the days when they were bodyguards together. Although it was hard and dangerous, the bonfire was lit under the stars.
, barbecued game, everyone was telling each other their own stories. Although they were poor and inferior, they also had happiness and brotherly feelings that were difficult for noble people to understand.
"So, this time you will take this child to Haoran Academy?" After about two meals, the two people's reminiscing finally came to an end, and the conversation turned to Zhang Tao.
"Yes, Brother Zheng, this is the only hope for our village." Zhaolong said.
Officer Zheng smiled and said, "Yes, it is not easy for your village to save money to send your child out. Don't worry, brother Zhao, as long as I, Zheng Gongcheng, am here, I will take care of Zhang Tao as much as possible."
"Brother Zheng, thank you very much. Tao'er, why don't you thank Uncle Zheng quickly?" Zhaolong waved hurriedly. Obviously, people are in a cold and warm world, and it is commendable that someone who is guarding the escort agency is still nostalgic and willing to help him.
"Thank you, Uncle Zheng." Zhang Tao stood up and said politely.
Zheng Gongcheng laughed and said, "You're welcome, are we all on our own? Since you call me uncle? Don't I want to help? Ah? Hahaha, okay, we won't go home until we get drunk tonight, and we won't delay the children now.
Went to participate in the college competition."
Zhaolong's eyes were slightly red, "Don't worry, Brother Zheng, Zhaolong will sacrifice his life to accompany you tonight, so let's take our leave now."
Walking out of the escort agency, Zhang Tao sighed in his heart, Zhang Feng's escort agency could tell just by looking at it that it had fallen, but it was willing to help its former friends. How could it not repay such a friendship?
Haoran Academy is located in the south of the central street of Tianyue City. As the saying goes, martial arts can determine the country and civility can stabilize the country. Civilization and martial arts have always been the foundation of governing a country. Talents are also the backbone of the country and the lifeblood of the entire country.
Although the Honghao Kingdom unified the Dongyue Continent, wars continued in the northwest grassland. The status of the school was gradually heating up in the Honghao Kingdom. Zhengzheng students who graduated from the school every five years would gather to serve in the imperial court.
Only then can Honghao Country continue to develop.
Therefore, any disciple in an excellent school who has an extraordinary status and has a noble life before becoming a noble is the target of some nobles vying to fawn over. Some families and nobles will come in advance to recruit students with outstanding martial arts skills from the school.
When choosing a disciple, you must know that as a guest elder of a private family, you can enjoy endless glory and wealth. In comparison, it is definitely much better than fighting the enemy to death on the battlefield.
Because of this situation, although some outstanding talents go out every year, the country absorbs very few. How could the emperor not know about it? However, the root cause of this matter cannot be cut off at all. People... are selfish after all.
Haoran Academy has a long history and is one of the four universities in Honghao Kingdom. Originally, Haoran Academy was the well-deserved leader among Honghao Kingdom. However, the sunrise and sunset are the laws of nature. After experiencing countless brilliance, Haoran Academy finally began to move towards
It's going downhill, and the other three universities will certainly not miss such a great opportunity and take advantage of the opportunity to recruit students aggressively. At this time, they want to add insult to injury and completely defeat Haoran Academy.
However, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. The power of Haoran Academy is still there, and many family members still come here because of its reputation. If Zhang Tao can enter Haoran Academy, he will definitely have good development in the future. Revitalizing Taixiang Village is just a matter of effort.
At this time, two long queues can be seen in the distance. The gate of Haoran Academy is majestic. The two huge stone sculptures on the left and right represent the founder of Haoran Academy and the students who changed the history of Haoran Academy!
The person who founded Haoran Academy was just an old master who didn't know martial arts, but what people respected about him was that he was actually the prime minister of the dynasty. He knew that it was difficult to conquer the world and even more difficult to defend the country.
What is needed to conquer the world is the hearts of the people, and what is needed to defend the world is still the hearts of the people, and schools are one of the lifebloods of maintaining people's hearts and imperial power. There were very few schools at that time, and the schools founded by the prime minister of the dynasty immediately aroused the martial arts trend in the entire Dongyue Continent.
The wind, the style of advocating literature, and because of this, civil and military affairs became the representatives of the country at that time. For a time, literati and poets were everywhere, and martial arts masters were wielding swords and guns, creating the peak state of the country for a while.
The country at that time was not called Honghao Kingdom, but was called: Dongyue Southern Kingdom! At that time, Dongyue Continent stood on four pillars! The Dongyue Empire became the most powerful country in Dongyue Continent because of the Haoran Academy and its academic style.
But the other student is a very legendary figure. This student is the former emperor of the Southern Kingdom of Dongyue! What the emperor learned is the art of imperial power. He only needs a brief taste of civil and military affairs. The important thing is to grasp the people's hearts and recognize good ministers!
However, this crown prince kept his name anonymously, paid a private visit incognito, and came to study at Haoran Academy. It was rumored that this crown prince was kind-hearted, popular, talented, intelligent, and good at both civil and military affairs. He soon became the number one among the students of Haoran Academy.
In the end, with honor and great ambition, he changed the name of the country to Honghao Kingdom! And thus began to embark on the road to unify the world. In the end, except for the barren prairie in the northwest, he took over the entire Dongyue Continent and became a legendary emperor.
He is loved by thousands of people and admired by countless descendants.
Because of this, all schools are divided into civil and military schools. However, there are very few people who have studied both civil and military skills for several years. After all, manpower is limited. If you study both civil and military skills, it will easily become an embarrassing situation where you cannot be good at civil and military skills.
And Zhang Tao naturally lined up in the ranks of the martial arts sect. There is no distinction between rich and noble in the school. The slogan is that we are all citizens of Honghao Kingdom. But now it seems that this is not the case, because the middle door is open, and there are countless gorgeous carriages.
Slowly driving in, some of the reception teachers were all smiling. They didn't know what was special about these carriages, but one thing was certain that the people inside were either rich or noble.
Most of the people in the long queue were ordinary people, and there were fewer and fewer people in front of them. Zhang Tao took a closer look and found that the admission standards in the distance were not much different from the assessment content of his teacher Zhaolong from Taixiang Village.
"Tao'er, I'm afraid that no one in Haoran Academy can match your strength, but don't act in a high-profile manner. You must know that anything good like Lin Feng will destroy it." Zhaolong is worried that Zhang Tao's young mind will cause some trouble. If he kicks
If you mess with someone you shouldn't mess with, I'm afraid it will bring a devastating blow to Taixiang Village.
Zhang Tao naturally knows this truth. Ten years of training have made Zhang Tao's temperament far better than that of ordinary teenagers. Just his calm eyes and measured manners can tell that he is different. He looks like a royal prince, but it's a pity that his clothes are difficult to comment on.
"Name, age." After it was Zhang Tao's turn, a person took a writing brush and recorded it on a piece of rice paper. The name was densely written on it, but many of them were outlined with red cinnabar. I didn't know whether these were the names that passed the test.
Who are the lucky ones who are students from the academy? Or are they the unlucky ones who are directly eliminated?
"Zhang Tao, sixteen years old." Unlike other children who are trying to please others, Zhang Tao is neither humble nor arrogant. For Zhang Tao, I treat people sincerely and do not follow others' influence. I naturally respect the teacher, but it does not mean that I want to flatter him.
Zhang Tao's original simple village character has been changed a lot. Within ten years, he has become proud and proud without even realizing it. Even when the emperor comes, Zhang Tao still remains calm.
Hearing Zhang Tao's tone, the teacher looked at Zhang Tao curiously and saw that Zhang Tao had an extraordinary face and an outstanding bearing. Although he was not handsome, he was calm and restrained. This kind of handsomeness did not come from his appearance, which made people amazed, but from his appearance.
It comes from the heart and is left to be explored.
"Well...it's okay to be sixteen, let's go in." The teacher said.
After Zhang Tao thanked him, he planned to go in, but Zhaolong was blocked. "You can't go in. After an assessment, whether you succeed or fail, you can go to the north gate and wait."
"Tao'er, you must work hard and don't let down the hopes of our whole village." Zhaolong cheered for Zhang Tao from the side.
"Huh? People from the village? Wild men from the mountains actually came to Haoran Academy. I don't know when, Haoran Academy also became a garbage shelter? No wonder Haoran Academy is not as good as each year. It turns out that it is because there are too many black sheep." At this time.
, a frivolous voice sounded on the carriage.
There are countless carvings on the carriage, and there is also a brocade flag on it. It is obvious that this person has an extraordinary identity. This person has a fair face, sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes. To be honest, he is quite handsome, but his face is frivolous and impetuous, and his eyes are too high.
Don't really like it.
Zhaolong's face just changed slightly, but then he didn't answer. He knew who he could offend and who he couldn't offend. How could Zhang Tao's pride be insulted by you? What about the mountain village? Even if his status is not as good as yours, his personality
But it's not something you insult casually.
"Then who are you, young master?" Zhang Tao's eyes flashed coldly, he was obviously angry, and the young man's words also aroused public outrage, making many people around him look angry, just because the other person's identity was unusual.
So he dared to be angry but dared not speak out, but today he met Zhang Tao and was actually questioned by a commoner?
At this time, there was a carriage behind. This carriage was soft and gauze, and the fragrance of orchids was fragrant. Suddenly, it was like the sound of silver bells coming from behind the gauze, making people even more curious and mysterious. "Mr. Zhou, what happened?
