Magic world

The night was deep, the clouds covered the moon, and it was pitch black under the sky. Except for the place illuminated by the fire, you could hardly see your fingers when you stretched out your hand.

On such a night, a dark figure ran forward as fast as a ghost, and after a while, it stopped outside a huge mansion.

Under the light of the faint fire coming over the wall, a burly figure wearing black pants, black clothes, and a black face scarf, dressed as a night traveler, appeared.

The man in black looked up at the high wall in front of him, sprinted over, put his feet on the wall, and leaped up. Then, an exquisite and beautiful courtyard scenery came into view. .

However, before he could appreciate it, he heard two low "whoosh" sounds piercing the air, and two black lights instantly flew in front of the man in black.

The exposed pupils of the man in the night shrank, and he quickly turned his hand to draw his sword... Hearing two crisp sounds of "clang clang", two clusters of sparks bloomed in the night sky.

With the power of the black light's shock, the man in black quickly fell back to the ground, slightly pressing his body and concentrating on guarding his surroundings.

The summer wind blows, bringing with it the slightest bit of heat.

"puff!"

At this moment, with a muffled sound, an arm instantly stretched out from the foot of the man in black, grabbed the ankle of the man in black who was not in a hurry, pulled down hard, and quickly dragged the man in black. After entering the earth, only one head remained on the ground.

Earth Escape - the art of severing hands in the heart.

Then the figure shook, and three cold figures wearing black clothes and strange animal masks suddenly appeared. They put black weapons that looked like daggers but not daggers against the exposed heads of the men in black.

Seeing this, how could the man in black not know that he was doomed? His face immediately became filled with hatred. He held his cheeks and let out a muffled groan.

Immediately, red blood seeped out from the corners of the man in black's mouth.

"Do you think we won't get information by committing suicide?" When the man in black's consciousness became blurred, a mocking whisper suddenly sounded in his ears. The irritated man in black's heart shrank and he regained his energy. However, he was soon annihilated by the rapidly passing life and died completely.

"Take it away." One of the men in black said.

The other two people didn't answer, and just followed the instructions and took out the guy who was pulled into the ground by the Earth Escape - Heart Slashing Hand Technique, and carried him into the depths of the mansion.

After the two men disappeared with the man in black, the masked man didn't stay long, and disappeared from the place with a "whoosh" sound.

The night was calm again, and almost no one knew that a dangerous battle that would kill people had just occurred in a corner.

…

The second day. morning.

After Zhao Ya and Zhao Ni had breakfast with Ito Cheng, they separated from each other and rushed to Julu Academy in a carriage to prepare to start their day's work as teachers.

And the next moment they left, a figure appeared from the corner of the room.

"What's the matter?" Ito Cheng asked quietly.

"Last night, an assassin sneaked into the mansion to do harm to you. This is the information obtained after investigation." The man in black stretched his hands forward and handed a scroll to Ito Cheng and reported.

Ito Cheng reached out and grabbed the scroll, unfolded it casually, lowered his head and began to read the contents.

"Long Yangjun... I didn't expect him to be the one who sent out the dead soldiers." A moment later. After browsing the content on the scroll, Ito Cheng's arm shook, shattering the scroll in his hand into flying dust, and said softly.

In fact, this matter can be understood as long as you imagine it carefully. After all, Lord Longyang and Lord Xinling are not at odds with each other. But that was just because the two of them had different political purposes. The former wanted to ensure the stability of King Anli's regime, while the latter wanted to replace him. It is impossible to come together innately, but it is impossible to come together. But it doesn't mean that their purposes cannot be consistent at certain times. ——For example, when a foreign enemy threatens the safety of Wei State! No matter what, they are all from Wei. Anyone who has existing interests in Wei will be the winner.

And now, Ito Cheng has played a very good role as the 'villain' who will threaten the safety of Wei State. Therefore, whether it is public or private, Long Yangjun has the intention to nip the threat of Ito Cheng in the bud. It became a matter of course to send out dead warriors and assassins for secret attacks.

"It seems that they have also received the news of the demise of the Yan Kingdom." Ito Cheng whispered to himself.

"Okay, I understand, you go down." Then, Ito Cheng said softly.

"Yes." The man in black agreed, and then he disappeared into the shadows as strangely as when he appeared.

"It's time to meet Ji Yanran, the son of the world." After dismissing the ANBU, Ito Cheng stood up from the couch and muttered in a low voice as he walked out of the house.

More than ten minutes later, the carriage Ito Cheng was riding on stopped in front of the post house built by Zhao State for foreign envoys in Handan City. He followed Ito Cheng out of the carriage and walked into the inn.

"I have met the Marquis." On the way, the post office officials and servants who saw Ito Cheng saluted quickly.

"Where does Miss Ji Yanran live?" Ito Cheng asked.

"In the west room." The post official replied.

Ito Cheng nodded, turned and walked towards the so-called west side room.

Even though it is just a temporary residence for envoys, the environment inside is not bad at all. There are many rockeries, green trees and red flowers in the garden. The scenery is very elegant and makes people feel comfortable.

"Is Miss Ji here? Chen Yi is here to visit." A moment later, Ito Cheng, who came to the west courtyard where Ji Yanran lived, said in a loud voice.

"Crunch~"

As soon as he finished speaking, with a strange sound of a wooden shaft, the closed door was opened from the inside. Then Ji Yanran, dressed in a plain white robe and gauze skirt, with a ponytail hairdo and a charming smile on her face, walked out of the room.

"Hey, Marquis Julu doesn't have to spend time with his beloved wife at home anymore? Why does he have time to come see Yanran?" Ji Yanran said pretending to be surprised.

"Ya'er and the others have their own things to do, unlike me, who has nothing to do, so I feel bored and have no choice but to come to Miss Ji for entertainment." Ito Cheng joked frivolously.

However, the ambiguity of this statement is still very large. If it is compared to the truth, it really means that Ji Yanran is treated as a prostitute.

"Oh. It turns out that in Juluhou's eyes, Yanran is just a person who can relax and relieve boredom." Ji Yanran said softly with a calm face. I don’t know if he is angry. Or how.

"Where is Mr. Zou Yan?" Ito Chengzhi asked instead of chatting on this topic.

"In the house." Ji Yanran replied.

"Then please come out, sir. Didn't you say you want to go to Julu Academy to visit? I just happened to send you there on the way." Ito Cheng said with a smile.

"You, I haven't agreed to your invitation yet." Ji Yanran rolled her eyes coquettishly and said to Ito Cheng.

"Oh? That's it. Forget it, I'll make a special trip to send you sir there. I can also check on the study status of the students in the academy." Ito Shigeyuki looked at Ji Yanran in surprise and nodded in a serious manner.

"Miss Yanran, please invite Mr. Zou Yan to come out." Then, Ito Cheng said with folded arms.

"You..." Ji Yanran frowned. Said with some dissatisfaction.

"Miss Ji looks like she wants to play with me? Then why did you object before?" Ito Cheng raised his eyebrows and asked with a half-smile.

"Does Marquis Julu have to see other people's embarrassment before he agrees?" Ji Yanran said resentfully.

"Hahaha, okay, I went too far before, and I apologize to Miss Ji here." Ito Cheng laughed and apologized.

Ji Yanran's eyes flickered but she said nothing.

This is probably the first time since she became famous that she has been so passive in front of a man. Being led by the nose. Of course, there was also the reason why she was indeed interested in this Juluhou who had risen out of thin air. Otherwise, how could a man she was not interested in disturb her mind. Make her passive?

"I didn't expect Yanran that you would suffer sometimes." At this time, with a chuckle, a tall and immortal figure of an old man slowly walked out of the house. ——He is a famous person from the Yin Yang family. Zou Yan.

"Master Yan." Ji Yanran said softly with a look of disapproval.

That charming appearance immediately stunned the maids passing by. But I have long been accustomed to beauty. Especially for Ito Cheng, whose extraordinary appearance and temperament are opposite to those of Hanwan and Shifeixuan, they do not appear to be very special. Therefore, the eyes only showed appreciation, but did not indulge in it.

This performance naturally attracted the eyes of Ji Yanran, who was quietly paying attention to him, and she became more and more appreciative of Ito Cheng.

"It's just trouble for Marquis Julu." Zou Yan looked at Ito Cheng and said.

"Mr. Zou, you're welcome." Ito Cheng smiled.

Then the three of them stopped staying in the post house, turned around and left the post house, and got into the carriage parked outside.

"Pap-pap-pap-pap-pap-pap..."

Then the carriage shook slightly and slowly drove away from the post house.

"It seems that the assassin's assassination failed." Elsewhere in the post house, a man who was watching Ito Cheng, Ji Yanran, and Zou Yan leave said in a low voice to Lord Long Yang in front of him.

"It doesn't matter, I'll just find another chance next time." Long Yangjun narrowed his single phoenix eyes slightly and said softly.

"How is the situation of Juluhou's army being investigated?" Then, Long Yangjun asked.

"No, the source is almost completely found."

"What about Julu City?" Long Yangjun asked again.

"Although we discovered the existence of the same strange team, the intelligence personnel would immediately lose contact every time they wanted to investigate in depth, so so far, we still know nothing about the situation of that army."

"Is there any news about the kind of motorcycle used in the battle to destroy Yan?" Long Yangjun turned around, looked at the man in front of him and asked softly.

"It has been confirmed that it was not provided by the Zhao Guomo family. As for the Gongshu family, they are still investigating, but judging from the information obtained so far, it should not be them." The man replied.

"How can you see it?" Long Yangjun asked in surprise.

"The news coming back from Chu State seems that the people of Gongshujia are also very interested in the strange mechanical tools that suddenly appeared in Juluhou's hands, and are preparing to send people to Yan State to observe them closely."

"..., continue the investigation, and be sure to get information about Julu Hou, his army, and the powerful machine vehicle." Long Yangjun was silent for a moment and sighed.

"yes."

On the other side, after a short period of movement, the carriage stopped outside the gate of Julu Academy.

"Okay, that's enough here. Marquis Julu just needs to ask someone to guide me. You don't need to accompany me anymore. You can go play with Yanran." Zou Yan got off the carriage and looked at his companions. Ito Cheng and Ji Yanran in the carriage smiled, acting as if they were no longer making light bulbs.

"Master Yan, I also want to take a good look at Julu Academy." Ji Yanran said with a sweet smile.

"Really? That's up to you." Zou Yan smiled nonchalantly.

"It seems that we are going to meet Marquis Julu in trouble." Then, Zou Yan turned to look at Ito Cheng and said.

"Easy to say." Ito Cheng chuckled.

"You two, please come in."

With that said, he led Zou Yan and Ji Yanran into the interior of the academy.

"Julu Hou, please explain to Yanran the situation in the academy?" Ji Yanran asked as she followed Ito Cheng around the academy and looked at the surrounding environment with great interest.

"Okay." Ito Cheng nodded and agreed, and then started to talk about the situation of the academy.

"The academy is divided into six levels, and each level has several courses. In addition to the official script and Zhaowen that must be learned, there are also "Spring and Autumn", "Poetry", etiquette, swordsmanship, riding, listening to the piano, Compulsory courses such as mathematics, as well as elective courses such as institutions, business, blacksmithing, pharmacology, astronomy, geology, government, and agriculture are available for intermediate and advanced students in the academy."

"It sounds like the required courses are based on the Six Confucian Arts. The elective courses are based on the skills of hundreds of schools of thought?" Zou Yan said, wiping his beard.

"Yes. Although Confucianism is often outdated, the foundation of the six arts is correct. It is suitable for laying the foundation for these beginning students, strengthening their bodies, and cultivating their sentiments. As for the elective courses that follow, they are not for To promote Baijia, it is simply made to take care of the talents and interests of the students in the academy. After all, life is different, with different talents and temperaments. There are people who are born with quick thinking, people who are born with nimble hands and feet, and there are people who are born with strength. There are also those who are stupid and want to think too much, and these hundreds of arts can be freely chosen by them to give full play to their own strengths." Ito Cheng explained.

"Make the best use of everything and teach according to your talents. Julu Hou's thoughts are indeed profound." Zou Yan was silent for a moment after hearing this, and then praised with admiration on his face.

"Marquis Julu, it sounds like you don't teach hundreds of schools of thought in the academy?" At this time, Ji Yanran asked from the side.

"Yes." Ito Cheng nodded and admitted.

"Why?" Ji Yanran asked in surprise.

"Although the theories of hundreds of schools of thought have their own likes and dislikes, they all have their own opinions and cannot be accepted by all. They are not a good study for enlightenment. Therefore, for the sake of these students, I decided not to teach any theory in the academy, but only to teach Basic teaching opens up the academic knowledge of students in the college and gives them the right to think and make their own choices," Ito Cheng explained.
