Chapter 59: The Big Choice

A long time ago, a great man said that the process of founding a country is a process of students learning from the time they tie their hair to going to Beijing to take the exam. Today's Lantian has finally arrived. It’s the night before I go to Beijing to take the exam.

However, for Mu Tianbo, going to Beijing to take the exam is a real thing.

Although the Ming Dynasty's Luncai Ceremony will not start until next year, if a person wants to go to high school, he must go to Beijing to prepare from now on.

In the past, students from the Ming Dynasty’s territory would rush to the capital from all directions to participate in the competition. It sounded very grand, but no one counted how many students died before they even reached the capital.

These students braved the dangers of being devoured by wild beasts, intercepted by bandits, swallowed up by the dangerous natural environment, attacked by diseases, and capsized by boats. After going through hardships and dangers, they arrived in the capital to participate in a competition. An exam with unknown results.

The only thing that can comfort them is the moment of glory during the roll call at Donghua Gate.

During the lonely journey, the scholars stayed in ancient temples and caves, dreaming about their dream of success in the lonely lights and clear shadows.

"You can learn when you are young, and you can act when you are strong. Serve the king from above, benefit the people from below. Make your reputation known to your parents. Be bright in front and rich in the back..." This is the dream of countless schoolchildren, and it is also the dream of countless scholars. The ultimate goal of the child.

Mu Tianbo sat cross-legged on the bed and closed his eyes to rest.

On his knees was a forsythia sword, on the head of his bed was a long spear, and on his bookshelf hung a strong bow and a box of feather arrows.

The felt hat was hung on the hanger, the cloak was piled neatly on the table, and a huge backpack was packed... He was ready to go to the capital.

After entering Yushan Courtyard, Mu Tianbo did not have a single dormitory, so his other five roommates were lying on their beds, looking at them with bright eyes like marmots. Looking at Mu Tianbo who was resting and relaxing.

At this time, the sky was just getting light.

When Mu Tianbo opened his eyes, the five groundhogs that were looking at him all retracted their heads back into the quilt.

Mu Tianbo put on his smart clothes, hung his sword on his waist, put on his cloak, felt hat, backpack, and was about to leave with his spear, strong bow, and quiver.

When he opened the door, Mu Tianbo said softly: "It is Mu Tianbo's good fortune to have been classmates for seven years."

A groundhog poked its head out from under the quilt and said: " When we meet on the battlefield tomorrow, you must not be merciful. I am not as good as you, but my partners are very strong, and you may not be my opponent."

Mu Tianbo said: "It's very embarrassing that I can't go with you. It's a pity."

The other groundhog sat up and roared: "A broken princess will make you fascinated. I really don't know what you are thinking."

Mu Tianbo. Said: "That shabby princess needs someone to protect her. If I don't protect her, she will die without a burial place."

A fat oneThe woodchuck slowly opened the quilt and said angrily: "I know you have been coveting my long knife for a long time, you can take it away." After saying that, he covered his head with the quilt and fell asleep.

Mu Tiantao took off the sword from his waist, took off a simple long knife from the opposite wall, hung it on his waist again and said: "I leave my sword to you, the six inlaid swords on the jaws. A gem can buy more than ten long knives like yours. This is the last time you have taken advantage of me."

The last two prairie dogs lying naked stood up and jumped off the bed. Said to Mu Tiantao: "We will see you off."

Mu Tiantao smiled and said: "No, saying goodbye for thirty miles will only make people sad for thirty miles, so it is better to just say goodbye."

After saying that, he put down what he was holding, hugged the two marmots tightly, opened the door, and walked into the vast world despite the cold wind.

After Mu Tiantao left, the groundhogs were completely sleepless and sat on their beds one by one, too lazy to talk.

I don’t know how long it took, but one prairie dog said: “He will not live to be twenty years old.”

Another prairie dog said: “If he becomes our enemy, Even if he lives to be eighteen, I will lose."

"If he dies in our hands, he will still get a whole body. After his death, someone will bury him and set up a monument. I am afraid that he will die in the hands of the emperor. There is no complete body."

"What if he survives?"

"The county magistrate may spare his life, Xia Wanchun will not let him go."

"Why?"

"What Xia Wanchun hates most are betrayers!"

"I heard that Boss Xia is very powerful in Hexi. He commands three thousand cavalry and is invincible. He has quite a bit of Huo Qubing's spirit of pioneering territory in those days."

"In the battle of Heishui River in Zhangye, the Tubo Suonan Niangxian tribe was defeated by him in one battle, and the formation was defeated by 684 levels. Suonan Niangxian traveled 120 miles, captured 1,700 horses, no less than 60,000 cattle and sheep, and captured more than 4,000 Suonan Niangxian's tribe.

It is really enviable. . ”

“I’m so envious. He is also the first one among our Yushan Academy disciples to use the eleven-day killing order. I don’t know where his kindness and kindness have gone when he comes back. I must argue with him."

"What right do you, a student of civil affairs, have to say about the military affairs?"

Gale closed the dormitory door. It blew open suddenly, mixed with some fresh snowflakes. The guy sitting on the bed near the door looked back at the other four people and said, "Who should close the door and turn on the lights today?"

"Mu Tiantao!"

After hearing this answer, the guy near the door lazily jumped off the bed, closed the door, locked it, and then said to the other four: "It seems like no one is eating anymore, right?"

A guy turned over and got under the quilt and said: "I don't have any appetite——"

"Then continue to sleep. Anyway, today is Old Man Ge's I Ching class, and he won't call names. ”

Everyone followed suit and got into the quilt one after another.Consider using comfortable sleep to dispel the sadness of separation.

Mu Tiantao descended from Yushan in the wind and snow. He did not look back. A woman in red stood at the gate of Yushan Academy and looked at him.

He knew it was Zhu Yuqian.

He was unwilling to follow her back to Beijing. In that case, even if he won the first prize, Mu Tiantao would feel it would be a humiliation to himself.

It wasn't until he was about to leave Yushan City Pass that he turned back, and the red dot was still there... He took out his binoculars and looked at the woman carefully, and said loudly: "I'm leaving, don't worry! "

The soldier guarding the city gate said impatiently: "Get out of here, get out of here, I'm freezing to death"

Mu Tiantao laughed and left on horseback. Yushan City.

"Hold on, hold on, kill Hong Chengchou!"

Fan Wencheng shouted weakly, his hands stretched forward convulsively, and tightly grasped Du Du's skirt .

"No more killing."

Dorgon glanced at Fan Wencheng again and said to Du Du, who was holding a long knife.

Du Du said: "I don't think he should be killed, but Hong Chengchou ran away."

Dorgon shook his head and said: "Hong Chengchou is dead."

Dorgon said: "This world cannot tolerate Hong Chengchou continuing to live. From now on, this name will not appear in the world."

"Hong Chengchou is not dead!"

Fan Wencheng sat up from the bed like a zombie, looked directly at Dorgon and said: "Hong Chengchou is not dead, catch him quickly."

Dorgon looked at it Fan Wencheng glanced at him and said, "You will take care of your health."

After saying this, he took Du Du away from Fan Wencheng's resting place.

Du Du caught the snowflake with his hand and said to Dorgon disappointedly: "Your Majesty is in good health."

Dorgon shook his head and said: "He is not in good health."

“What do you say?”

“It is very abnormal to order us to withdraw our troops when we are about to capture Beacon Mountain. It is even more abnormal to send the two white flags to North Korea to quell the rebellion. Yes, two yellow flags, two blue flags, it is very abnormal to return to Shengjing.

Calling the princes of the Mongolian tribes to Shengjing is not like giving a lecture, but to give a last word. "

Du Du's hands were trembling a little, and he whispered: "Is it possible?"

Dorgon glanced at Du Du and said: "No, birth, old age, illness and death are natural. "

"If Fulin..."

"No, in my Qing Dynasty, brothers should be brothers. Fulin is too young."

"But Bumbutai..."

"Just a woman."

What Dorgon said was quickly swept away by the wind and snow and scattered to the sky. , at this time, he was ambitious, and the throne of the emperor, which he had coveted for many years, was beckoning to him. Even if he stood in the wind and snow, he could not feel the slightest chill.

In his eyes, no matter he is six years oldNeither Fulin nor Bumu Butai could control the fierce horse of the Qing Dynasty.

Only he, Aixinjueluo Dorgon, could lead the Qing Dynasty to stand firmly on the shore of the sea.

Fan Wencheng fell from the bed and climbed hard to the door. He wanted to tell Dorgon that Hong Chengchou could not be returned to the Ming Dynasty. Otherwise, the Qing Dynasty would have to face this witty man again. enemy.

However, Dorgon and Du Du had already gone far, and the wind and snow obscured their figures. No matter how Fan Wencheng called, they did not hear them.

So, Fan Wencheng hit the threshold with his forehead in pain, thinking that those strange men in black would fall from the sky when he just relaxed his vigilance, killing him by surprise.

Fan Wencheng swore that he resisted, and he used the greatest courage to resist the most resolutely. However, the short-fire blunderbuss, grenades, and a kind of weapon in the hands of those men in black could make people The weapons that instantly fell into the sea of ​​​​fire defeated their hastily organized resistance in an instant.

In a short period of time, the two armies did not even tremble. From the moment the black men appeared, the accompanying flames and explosions never stopped. Only the most elite warriors can shoot a row of feather arrows at the first time.

Then there was a one-sided massacre.

Fan Wencheng swore that this was not the Jinyiwei or Dongchang of the Ming Dynasty. Just by looking at the tight organization of these people and their unrelenting charge, you would know that such people did not belong to the Ming Dynasty.

Fan Wencheng, who has been studying Lantian for a long time, finally thought of a possibility in his mind - Lantian Black Clothes Crowd!

"Your Majesty, Hong Chengchou has gone to Lantian. Once this man reaches Lantian, no one can stop him. He will be ten times braver, ten times more cunning, and ten times more ferocious than the Hong Chengchou we met in Songshan. ...My lord, we cannot let Hong Chengchou leave. This is truly letting the tiger return to the mountain."

No matter how Fan Wencheng lamented, no one entered the courtyard where he lived. Dorgon once said when he came in - —The rest of the crowd is waiting to leave.

The pain on his forehead finally awoke Fan Wencheng from his regret. He laboriously tore off his frozen hand on the threshold, and then slowly crawled to the bed. After several attempts, he could not succeed. He pulled off the quilt from the bed and wrapped it around his body. He huddled in front of the bed and looked at the wind and snow pouring into the door. He shouted heartbreakingly: "Someone is coming——"
