Chapter 45: Thousands of miles away, letters come and go
Song Lian looked at the young man in front of him expressionlessly, then rolled his eyes and uttered two words, "Idiot."
"Sir, how could you say that to me?" Chen Chao's eyes widened with an innocent look on his face.
Song Lian twitched the corners of his lips and said calmly, "If you were on my left guard, I would whip you right now."
Chen Chao chuckled and said, "If you really have this intention, you can recruit me to the left guard. That would have a much better future than being a small guard."
"Okay, if you can walk out of Dali Temple alive, I can give you this opportunity."
Song Lian glanced at Chen Chao and couldn't help but think about what it would mean if this young man could really walk out of Dali Temple unharmed.
After coming back to his senses, Song Lian asked, "Can he go on the road like this?"
There were always people behind him, and they were all people he brought out from the left guard of Shendu. When he heard the commander's question, someone immediately responded, "Sir, he is seriously injured. If he goes on the road now, I'm afraid...
…can’t die.”
What?
Chen Chao looked at the guy in black official uniform, what was he saying?
Song Lian nodded with satisfaction, "Then let's hit the road. It's a long way to the capital of God, so don't waste time. After all, this person is a repeat offender of the imperial court."
Song Lian said it very seriously that the imperial court committed repeated crimes.
"Is the prison van ready?"
Song Lian asked casually.
The guard said in a somewhat embarrassed tone, "Sir... I don't think you brought anything like this when you came... but there seems to be a manure truck at the county government office."
Song Lian thought seriously for a moment, then nodded and said, "Is that so... I can only make do with it."
"I object!"
Chen Chao looked at Song Lian and the guards behind him very seriously, frowned and said, "Don't you think it's a bit outrageous?"
"Why is it outrageous?" The officer looked at Chen Chao with the same serious look on his face, "We will clean it and then transform it into a prison car, so that it will be no different from the new one..."
Chen Chao was speechless. What made him speechless was not that he wanted to take a dung cart to take him to the capital of the gods, but that this man had a serious look on his face, as if doing so was a matter of course.
Song Lian laughed and said, "His name is Weng Quan. He will take care of you along the way."
Chen Chao looked ugly.
Song Lian stood up and ordered, "After the prison car is ready, take the guard Chen out and wait for me at the gate of the county government office."
After saying this, Song Lian stood up and left without waiting for Chen Chao's reaction.
In order to take Chen Chao away, he had to do some things and leave a file at the county government office.
Apart from this, he also had to meet someone.

At the beginning of every month in the academy by the South Lake, there is a debate of some magnitude or another. The original reason is that teachers from various subjects in the academy are good at theory and theory, and they absorb nutrients from the constant collision. And every day, they are destined to...
Many students sat around and listened. Later, the matter gradually became regulated, and it was changed to once every year in late autumn, when students from various subjects debated by the South Lake.
It's just that the debate at the beginning of the month was still retained, but it changed from teachers to students.
It became a voluntary organization among students.
However, even if students organize themselves voluntarily, they are still very popular in the academy, because once they win, it means that their reputation will spread throughout the academy, which will be of great benefit whether they become an official in the future or are now in the academy.
.
Today is the time for debate again, and many students have gathered at the lake viewing platform beside the South Lake.
There is a small forest next to the lake viewing platform. There are some pavilions in the forest. At this moment, under one of the pavilions, there are several students wearing college uniforms gathered here. One of them is the debate leader last month, Huang Zhi.
This person comes from Nanxing County, Changping Prefecture, and also comes from a scholarly family. He has gradually emerged in recent days, and has won the first place in the debate for two consecutive months. Today, I don’t know how many students want to take away his position as the leader.
But as the debate approached, Huang Zhi didn't think about it. Instead, he looked at the small courtyard farther away, with a vague look of disappointment in his eyes.
"Fengjie, won't she come today?"
Huang Zhi was a little disappointed, with a look of pain in his eyes.
These days, he often went to wait in front of that door, but never once did he wait for it to open. During class, he deliberately waited for her on the road that the girl must pass several times, but she never responded. Not only did she not say a word to him,
, even without squinting or even looking at him.
Her attitude has been made clear.
Huang Zhi only thought that she felt that he was not outstanding enough, so he refused to interact with her, so he continued to argue by the lake for several months. In the past two months, he had become the leader.
Many masters in the academy also admired him a lot. After exploring his body, several masters expressed their intention to accept disciples.
Studying in an academy and practicing with a certain master are two completely different concepts.
Huang Zhi originally thought that he was quite remarkable for being like this, but the girl remained indifferent.
This really disappointed him.
"I must come here every month. In fact, I have never been a leader. I just want to see her here, but why doesn't she come every month?"
After hearing this, Tingxia and him
Several of his classmates, who were usually close to each other, looked at Huang Zhi with some regret in their eyes.
Nowadays, there are rumors in the academy that Huang Zhi, who is from the Huang family in Nanxing, is so fond of the girl who lives by the lake, but the girl from the Xie family has never responded.
As a close friend of Huang Zhi, Jiang Fengjie saw his friend so disappointed and quickly comforted him by saying, "Maybe Miss Xie just has something else to do, or maybe she doesn't like to make trouble. I've heard it before, Xie
The girl didn't attend many classes, maybe because the teacher who gave the lecture was too noisy."
Jiang Fengjie blushed a little. These were the reasons he was looking for. In fact, the entire academy knew that the Xie girl did not like Huang Zhi at all. If she had an ordinary background, perhaps because of Huang Zhi's family background, there would be some possibility.
, but she happened to be a child of the Xie family. Since she was the Xie family, there was no such thing as fawning over a certain aristocratic family in the Liang Dynasty. Who she wanted to marry probably all depended on her own mind.
"Brother Huang, why should a good man feel sad for a woman?"
Someone under the pavilion spoke up and advised, "Since Miss Xie has no intention, why does Brother Huang have to do this?"
Huang Zhi sighed, just shook his head and walked out of the pavilion. The debate was about to begin. Even if she still didn't come, there were some things she still had to do. ??
…
…
In the small courtyard by the lake, a letter arrived.
Liu Ye, who was holding the letter, ran all the way. When he reached the entrance of the courtyard, he stopped for a moment and adjusted his breathing. The magnificent scenery that kept rising and falling in his chest gradually subsided.
Although she is not very old, she is indeed different from ordinary people in some places.
Ordinary people, ordinary women.
Pushing open the door and walking into the courtyard, she quickly walked through the courtyard and came to the house.
"Miss, the letter from Weizhou Prefecture has arrived."
As he spoke, Liuye was actually beating a drum in his heart. After receiving a letter from Weizhou Prefecture, the young lady went home. I heard that the young lady even went to see her ancestors that day, and now another letter has arrived.
What will the lady do after reading the letter...
Liu Ye didn't dare to think about it, but she just hoped that the young lady would stop looking for her ancestors. She was frightened every time she went to that place.
Xie Nandu, who was wearing a gray shirt today, draped her green silk stockings casually over her shoulders, took the letter handed over by Liu Ye, but she did not open it because it had already been opened.
Taking out the letter paper inside, there are only a few words, which probably mean only one thing, that is, the young man has been rescued and has left Tianqing County. Now he is afraid that he has arrived in Weizhou Prefecture, and he will not be able to come back.
In a few days, you can reach Shendu from Weizhou Prefecture.
But it was an escort.
He came to Shendu to go down
Prison.
Dali Temple is a place where most people go in, fearing that they will never be able to come out again in this life.
Xie Nandu had already learned before that Chen Chao had killed those monks from outside the country. Once such a serious crime was true, there would be almost no possibility of surviving.
There were many things that Chen Chao didn't explain clearly in his previous letter, so she wanted to ask now.
"Grind, I want to write a letter."
Xie Nandu looked out the window. The debate on the lakeside was a little heated at the moment, and there were voices coming from a distance. She was born smart and had a photographic memory, and could even identify people by listening to the sounds.
Listening to Huang Zhi's voice and what he said, she was silent for a moment and shook her head.
There was no look of disdain between his eyebrows, just plain.
Picking up the pen, Xie Nandu slowly put it down and quickly wrote a line.
"My lady's handwriting is really good."
Liu Ye came over, took a look, and couldn't help but admire it.
…
…
A team of dozens of people left Weizhou Mansion and headed towards the Divine Capital. With Song Lian in the team, there were no monsters who dared to intrude along the way.
In the center of the prison car, there was a pale young man who was hopeless. As the prison car jolted, his head kept shaking.
Weng Quan was riding on the horse and kept talking about the things he had said over and over again.
It only took one day for Chen Chao to go from the initial opposition to accepting his fate.
Until a black spot streaked across the sky, and a wooden bird fell from the sky and landed on the prison cart.
"grown ups……"
Weng Quan immediately spoke.
"It doesn't matter."
Song Lian didn't take it seriously. If he followed the rules, Chen Chao wouldn't be able to believe them at this moment, but these rules were originally dispensable.
Seeing the wooden bird, Chen Chao's confused eyes finally came to his senses and he took out the letter from the wooden bird.
When you open it and take a look, what comes into view is a line of small characters. The small characters may look pretty, but in fact they have a special character.
When he saw this letter, he seemed to think of the girl he saw in the mountain temple on a snowy night.
Soon, he finished reading the contents of the letter.
Xie Nandu was asking him for the details of the matter. She wanted to do something for him before he came to the capital of the gods.
Chen Chao thought for a while and wanted to reply to the letter, so he asked for pen and ink.
Song Lian rode up and asked, "Who are you writing to?"
Chen Chao raised his head, frowned and said, "Master Song, you don't have to worry about this kind of thing, right?"
