In the small courtyard, a small red clay stove was set on a burning pine branch, and freshly brewed green ant wine was warming inside.

Vice President Xia was covered with a thin blanket and sat on a polished yellow bamboo chair. On a small table next to him, there were rolls of small cowhide scrolls.

In this life, there are very few people who can truly become confidants, especially at his age, there are even fewer left.

There are only a few acquaintances, life is rarely full of reunions, only separations are abundant... This is the helplessness of life. At this moment, he is the only one, drinking wine alone, so he seems extraordinarily quiet and lonely.

But fortunately, he still has many things worth remembering and many people to take care of, so he is not idle and is peaceful and peaceful.

With a soft "crunch", the newly built bamboo door of the small courtyard was pushed open. Xiao Mingxuan, wearing a brass frame and eyes, walked into the small courtyard. He stretched out his hand and flicked a small roll onto Vice President Xia's lap.

Then he moved a bamboo chair out from inside, poured a glass of wine, and drank while blowing the hot air.

Unfolding the small scroll that Xiao Mingxuan had played, Vice President Xia had a look of relief on his face. He glanced at Xiao Mingxuan somewhat beyond his expectation and exclaimed: "This boy is really up to date."

"Now I finally understand why Lao Zhang said you are more suitable to run this college than Lao Meng." Xiao Mingxuan nodded: "Look at the data and analyze things, I am better than you, look at people, you are better than me."

"It doesn't matter that he has high talent and is powerful against enemies. Wenren Cang Yue can also perform like this, but the key is that he endures the harsh training of Xu Shengmo and Tong Wei every day. He is willing to endure such hardships.

, he can be calm in the face of humiliation... This kid is indeed a bit ambitious." After nodding, he took off the brass crystal glasses on the bridge of his nose, Xiao Mingxuan leaned on the bamboo chair, but he couldn't help but admire him rarely.

One sentence.

Vice President Xia smiled slightly and said, "But it's still a bit childish...Xu Shengmo must be very angry."

"It's best that he can wake up with anger. No matter how powerful a person is, how powerful can he be? That person in the south, and those old guys in the imperial city, which one is not a powerful character?" Xiao Mingxuan muttered disdainfully.

Said: "Old Zhang is right, we are all just fish in the river. No matter how tyrannical the fish is, it would be foolish to change the river. No one knows that the flapping of the wings of fireflies in the Four Seasons Plain will cause thousands of miles of disaster.

What kind of wind is blowing outside?"

Vice President Xia smiled, poured a glass of wine, and drank slowly.

Although the small courtyard on Tianshu Peak seems quiet and lonely, the things that happen in this college, this empire, and this world every day are all flowing towards this small courtyard like running water.

Xiao Mingxuan is addicted to data analysis and does not have much personal emotions. But for some people he likes and is optimistic about, watching their growth... Vice President Xia is like watching his own children.

Lin Xi's daily performance will be sent to this small courtyard every day.

Therefore, Vice President Xia did not leave this small courtyard. He also knew that Qin Xiyue and Gao Yanan had a dispute over Lin Xi on the mountain road, and also knew that Lin Xi and Liu Ziyu had made a one-month appointment.

Next, Lin Xi defeated the "Yellow Antelope" in the Trial Valley, defeated the "Spiritual Vulture", and entered the "Knife and Spear" stone palace.

Next, Lin Xi defeated "Jinkui" again and defeated "Zijing".

…

Day by day, Vice President Xia watched Lin Xi's achievements continue to increase in this quiet courtyard.

Since defeating the Spiritual Vulture that day, Lin Xi has not lost a single game in the Trial Valley, and has always left the game with five stars. Today, Lin Xi's record has been nine consecutive five-star games, and

According to what Li Wu said, Lin Xi really broke the record for the passage time of directly attacking the spear formation to stop the Ge system.

Although his performance in entering the "Knife and Spear" Stone Palace every day is not as amazing as before in the Direct Spear Formation. After nine days, he is still more than 40 steps away from the back door of the Stone Palace, but Vice President Xia and

Xiao Mingxuan naturally attributed it to Lin Xi's physical exhaustion due to one more special training session from Xu Shengmo than before.

All in all, Lin Xi's performance has greatly exceeded his and Xiao Mingxuan's expectations.

When someone you look at like your own child performs much better than you imagined, this is certainly something worth being happy about and worth having a drink with.

Neither Xiao Mingxuan nor Vice President Xia even mentioned Liu Ziyu, because based on Lin Xi's performance, there was no suspense about the agreement with Liu Ziyu.

"Is Yan Shaoqing's carriage arriving in two days?" Pulling a piece of bacon that was roasting nearby and chewing it in his mouth, Vice President Xia poured another glass of wine and looked at Xiao Mingxuan and asked.

Xiao Mingxuan shook his head, glanced at the bacon that was equally attractive in color and aroma, and then looked at his fat body worriedly. Finally, he was a little annoyed and just poured himself a glass of wine and said: "There are still three days, they

There was a mudslide on the Linqi side, and it took a day to clear the road."

Vice President Xia nodded, looked at Xiao Mingxuan simply and directly said four words: "What do you think?"

"Zhan Tai Mang's assessment is the same as mine, and he will definitely not be worse than those old guys in the Imperial City. Da Mang's treasury has already incurred large expenditures, and some sealed grain depots have been opened. The amount is so large that there is only one possibility.

That is to prepare food for the large armies that are marching to the border." Xiao Mingxuan's fat fingers tapped lightly on the rim of the wine glass, and his round face was a little annoyed as he said: "There are many people from Thunder College who have entered the Dengtian Mountains.

Experience has gone through, so the emperor is completely impatient and has no patience. With Zhan Taimang's momentum, he will definitely have more excuses. If we want to gain the upper hand in negotiations with the emperor, I am afraid we will have to fight against Thunder Academy.

We have to gain the upper hand. Otherwise, with the emperor’s mentality at the moment, our Qingluan Academy can naturally refuse to agree, but Yun Qin cannot afford the price.”

"There are still three days... Give Lin Xi four days, and he should be able to hit the record of 'Knife and Gun'."

Vice President Xia pondered for a moment, then turned to look at Xiao Mingxuan and said: "I will make arrangements to see how the new elites of Thunder Academy are doing in four days. Help me keep an eye on the military headquarters to the west, Wen Rencang

I'm afraid Yue will be impatient."

"Okay." Xiao Mingxuan put down the wine glass in his hand, and was about to stand up, but he slapped himself fiercely like a punishment, making the left side of his face turn red, "There have been too many things recently, and my memory is not as good as before, almost

I forgot one of the most important things... There is news from the trustee in the Tangzang Palace that Gu Xinyin is to be exchanged for Nangong Mo."

When he said this, his voice trembled slightly, as if he was very blamed for not mentioning this immediately.

Vice President Xia's breathing paused slightly, but his face was instantly filled with a rare gloomy and cold look. He shook his head: "This price is not enough."

"This price is not enough." His mind seemed to be a little shaken, and after repeating another sentence, he looked at Xiao Mingxuan and said solemnly: "The people in Tang Zang must think that we know that Gu Xinyin has suffered many hardships for ordinary people in recent years.

Knowing the suffering, we will definitely exchange him back immediately. However, we know that they used many methods to torture him and wanted to force many secrets out of him... It is precisely because he has endured so many years of suffering that this

The price is far from enough."

Xiao Mingxuan was silent for a while and said, "What if they change their minds?"

"Since they can't learn anything from Gu Xinyin, Gu Xinyin is of little use to them. And they want to know some secrets of our Qingluan Academy from Nangong Mo, so you just need to tell them, I want Gu Xinyin

If you can speak and dance and come back alive, I will also hand Nangong Mo back to them properly, but the price is still not enough." Vice President Xia took a deep breath, looked at Xiao Mingxuan, and said, "Even if Gu

Xinyin knows that we have rejected this proposal this time, and he will also understand that this is the price we are looking for for him in the past few years."

Xiao Mingxuan nodded, said nothing, turned around and walked out of the small courtyard.

…

"Who is this silver fox? He is so powerful, why did he appear suddenly?"

"It is said that the winning streak of the 'Spiritual Vulture' on this list ended in his hands. And the winning streak of the 'Golden Sunflower' also ended in his hands."

There was no calm in front of the signboard outside the Valley of Trials.

Because all the freshmen discovered that there was suddenly a "Silver Fox" on the list these days, and the upward momentum of this "Silver Fox" was very amazing. It turned out to be a five-star record every day, and it was nine consecutive times in nine days.

He left the field with a five-star record.

"Based on this time, when Jiu Shi Jin Tian Xuan and Brother Liu made an agreement, this silver fox started a winning streak. Do you think this silver fox is the Jiu Shi Jin Tian Xuan of Zhi Ge type?"

A burly young man with a golden spoon from the imperial medicine department laughed loudly in front of this sign.

This young man with a golden spoon from the imperial medicine department was named Ge Yinglang, and he was one of the people who rebuked Lin Xi on the mountain road that day.

"Fart, if a guy like him can win so many games in a row, then the sun will really rise from the west, and I will eat all this sign." An arrogant Zhige boy snorted loudly,

It is Dushan Zi.

"Ha ha."

Ge Yinglang couldn't help but laugh loudly. Although Mu Shanzi said he farted, his tone was very rude, and Mu Shanzi was arrogant, which he might not be used to in ordinary times, but now that the two of them have the same opinion, they are becoming more and more pleased with each other.

Got up.

"Wen Xuanyu is out..."

There was a sudden silence in front of the notice board. Mu Shanzi frowned and saw Wen Xuanyu, who was pale and soaked, slowly walking out of the valley.

Regardless of other people's gazes, Wen Xuanyu, a young man who was extremely proud inside, glanced at the notice board and then slowly left silently.

"Is it really him...Silver Fox?" Wen Xuanyu clenched and then unclenched his fists. The group of students in front of the bulletin board only thought that he was withdrawn and too arrogant, but they did not expect that this was the only thought that filled his heart at this moment.
