This Great Emperor Is Also My Friend

After leaving the training hall, Du Heng returned to the dormitory all the way.

When passing by the main entrance of the academy, the concierge of the academy shouted to Du Heng: "Du Heng, you came just right. I'm looking for you!"

The concierge's surname was Qin, which made Du Heng awe!

"Uncle Qin, are you looking for something to do with me?"

Du Heng stopped and replied to the concierge Uncle Qin.

"Come here quickly."

Uncle Qin beckoned to Du Heng, "Someone from your family is looking for you, waiting outside the door!"

Someone is here? Do you give life fees?

Du Heng nodded and walked towards the door.

Out of the gate of the academy, Du Heng saw a timid little girl standing outside the door, Du Heng's Little Sister Du Wei.

Du Wei is fourteen this year. She has a delicate appearance. Even if she is dressed in a commoner, Jingchai, she is also a beauty.

Lao Du's genes are good. Du Heng is so handsome, Little Sister is naturally impossible to look ugly.

It's just...In the past, parents came to pay for life expenses. Why did Wei Er come here today?

"Vil, why are you here?"

Du Heng greeted him and said hello to Little Sister.

"elder brother!"

Seeing Du Heng coming out, Du Wei showed a smile on her face and ran up quickly.

Reached out and took out a small cloth bag, handed it to Du Heng, Wei Er said: "Brother, this is the life fee for you at home."

"Why did you come to give the life fee today?"

Du Heng took the small cloth bag, glanced at Wei'er, and asked, "Why didn't Dad come here?"

"Father... things are busy!"

The look on Du Wei's face changed slightly, and a smile appeared immediately, saying: "It's the same for me to send it off. Brother, you study hard, I'll go home first!"

With that, Du Wei turned to leave.

"and many more!"

Du Heng stopped Du Wei, his expression became serious, "Did something happen at home?"

"No...no!"

Wei Er's eyes dodge a little.

"Vil, you can't hide from me."

Du Heng was full of seriousness, staring at Weier's eyes, "Since childhood, when have you ever lied to me? Tell me! Tell me the truth, what happened at home?"

"Brother... Father and mother won't let me tell you, for fear of affecting your study."

Du Wei's eye circles were a little red, "The shop at home was smashed. The black tiger gang...they bullied. They said...you can't pass the county exam and you won't be a scholar. The shop at home has to be paid every month. Ten taels of silver, otherwise, don’t even want to open it."

I see!

Du Heng's eyes burst into coldness.

This is because I feel that I can't pass the county exam and can't become a scholar, so I can't help being greedy and want to start.

As a traverser, Du Heng is more or less capable of a traverser.

It's just that, as a common citizen, if you have more money, you will be troubled and killed. Those big fortune plans such as burning glass, making soap, making perfume, etc., let's not say whether Du Heng understands or not, even if he does, he dare not take it out!

So... Over the years, Du Heng has also set up a tofu shop.

Tofu, tofu, braised dried seeds, fragrant dried seeds... all kinds of soy products, Du Heng produced a lot.

The family sells tofu and earns a small amount of money. Only then can I send Du Heng to study at Zhuangqiu Academy.

It is also because Du Heng entered the Zhuangqiu Academy, and it is possible to become a scholar in the future, and the tofu shop at home has been able to open safely for so many years.

Now, seeing that he will be graduating in a few months, Du Heng's grades are still so stale, he has never taken the county exam, and it is possible to become a scholar. The status of a college student has no deterrent.

Du Heng knew very well that the black tiger gang smashed the shop and collected protection fees. This was the first step.

Once you fail the county exam, you can only go home and become a commoner. The family business of this tofu shop cannot be kept.

It is useless to pay protection fees. The shop will become someone else's, and the recipes for making various soy products will become someone else's.

The living conditions of the common people are so difficult. If they have a little bit of industry, they will be swayed by others.

Du Heng squeezed his fist, a coldness burst in his eyes.

At this time, am I going to say "Don't bully the young and poor"?

Do you think I can't pass the county exam and won't be a scholar? snort! Just wait and see!

After taking a long breath, Du Heng raised his eyes to look at Wei'er and said, "The shop has been smashed, are you okay?"

"There is no injury, but... Daddy is so angry that he is sick!"

Weier wiped a tear, looked up at Du Heng, and said, "Brother, they must be talking nonsense. You must pass the county exam and become a scholar, right?"

"Yeah! Definitely!"

Du Heng nodded earnestly, "I will definitely pass the county exam and become a scholar!"

"Great! I knew they were talking nonsense!"

Du Wei was full of joy, "Brother, you have been so smart since you were a child, and you can definitely become a scholar!"

Sister, spiritual aptitude and IQ are two different things!

Du Heng did not explain, but nodded seriously, "Yes, I can definitely become a scholar."

With this "friend system", you only need to find a few geniuses to add friends, and your spiritual qualifications are not a problem at all.

The black tiger gang's collection of protection fees... is essentially the reason for the "bad performance".

As long as the "achievement" problem is solved, the Black Tiger Gang is a fart!

Du Heng stretched out his hand to wipe the tears from the corner of Weier's eyes, and said to Weier: "Vier, after you go back, you tell your father that the Black Tiger Gang needs to collect protection fees, so we will give them."

"what?"

Wei Er was surprised, "Brother, they have to collect twelve taels a month! The shop at home makes less than ten taels a month."

"Listen to me and give it to them."

Du Heng waved his hand, "There will be a monthly exam at the end of the month. Today they collected ten taels of silver, and when the time comes... they will have to return it ten times a hundred times!"

"Brother, what do you mean...this monthly exam... will you be very good?"

A hint of hope appeared in Du Wei's eyes.

"Um!"

Du Heng nodded, "Especially powerful!"

"Very good!"

Du Wei jumped up with joy.

……………………

After sending away Little Sister Weier, Du Heng returned to the academy.

Adding friends with geniuses is imminent.

To solve the problem of the black tiger gang, to improve the living conditions of the family, and to change the social status, the only way out is to pass the county examination and become a scholar.

It is now March, and the beginning of June is the closing period. There are only more than two months left for Du Heng, and a genius friend must be added in the shortest time!

With Du Heng's current Cultivation Base, that is, the fourth-tier swordsmanship can be used, he can only talk to the genius classmates on the grounds of "seeking swordsmanship".

It seems that when we are in class tomorrow, I will find an opportunity to "ask about swordsmanship" with a genius classmate, take the opportunity to talk, and find a way to add a friend.

It was dark, Du Heng planned to take a shortcut and return to the dormitory.

Passing through the "swift stream" of the back mountain of Zhuangqiu Academy, there is a karst cave that can reach the vicinity of the dormitory.

Don't ask how Du Heng knew. With Fan Tong Fatty, Du Heng would definitely not admit that he was out of the academy over the wall in the middle of the night.

All the way to the back mountain in a hurry, Du Heng came to the "quick stream" of the back mountain shortly afterwards.

Just a few minutes away, it's actually a "line of sky". The cliffs at the top are within a few minutes of each other, but there is a mountain stream below.

Du Heng kept advancing along the mountain stream and soon came near the "secret road".

Just after drilling into the dense tunnel of the karst cave, Du Heng suddenly heard the sound of his clothes fluttering.

"somebody is coming?"

Du Heng's heart tightened, and he quickly hid behind the rock at the mouth of the cave, half of his head popped out, and he looked outside.

A pretty figure floated down and fell under the cliff on the opposite side of the mountain stream.

Plain dresses dance like clouds, and their pretty face is like a bright moon.

This light and pretty girl is suddenly Chi Ying, a famous swordsman genius in Zhuangqiu Academy!

Chi Ying, who was born with a sword heart, has reached the ninth floor of the Swordsman Cultivation Base, which is the "first in swordsmanship" of Zhuangqiu Academy.

Why did Chi Ying get here?

Could it be... What secret thing did I break?

Speaking of this, I am not sleepy at all!
