"Since it's His Majesty's decree, the academy is naturally duty-bound. I'll get someone to bring a telegraph machine. As for the candidate to operate the telegraph machine, do the three generals have any students in mind that you like?"
Yanhuang College, in the conference room on the first floor of Guanghua Building, Yan Silu and Mo Huai, who had rushed over after hearing the news, sat opposite Yuchi Jingde, Cheng Yaojin, and Qin Qiong. Li Gang, the acting Yamachō, was recuperating in another courtyard. At this time, Yan Silu heard the three's intentions and nodded. He cupped his hands to Yuchi Jingde and the other two.
Although the telegraph machine was considered Yanhuang College's top secret, Yanhuang College was still located in the Tang Empire. They still had to listen to His Majesty Li Er's decree. Besides, Yan Silu had learned from Li Tai that Li Zexuan was currently besieging Wu Jie in the north according to Li Er's decree. Yuchi Jingde and the other two were leading the army north to help Li Zexuan, so of course Yan Silu was 100% willing to lend the telegraph machine to Yuchi Jingde!
Hearing Yan Silu's question, Cheng Yaojin grinned and said, "That Meng Wenhao! Last time, during the rebellion in Guan City, it was him and Iron Egg who followed the army to manage the telegraph machine! I think this child is willing to endure hardships, so he won't be a burden to the army if we bring him north! "
During the rebellion in Guan City, Meng Wenhao and Iron Egg followed the army all the way from Chang 'an to Zhengzhou. They never complained about hardships or tiredness during the hundreds of miles of journey, which left a very good impression on Cheng Yaojin. But now that Iron Egg wasn't in the academy, Cheng Yaojin didn't hesitate to choose Meng Wenhao!
Qin Qiong was also present during the battle in Guan City. He couldn't help but nod and agree, "Zhijie's suggestion is very good. Let's choose Meng Wenhao! This old man has heard Xiaoxuan praise this child before! "
The two old generals of the empire were competing to praise Meng Wenhao. Yan Silu, the dean of teaching of Yanhuang College, suddenly felt his face light up. He smiled, stood up and said, "That's good! This old man will get the telegraph machine and have someone call Meng Wenhao over for the three generals! "
"Thank you for your trouble, Mr. Kong Gui!"
The three of them stood up and cupped their fists.
"Of course! It's only right! "
Yan Silu waved his hand and left.
Inside the conference room, Qin Qiong looked at Mo Huai and suddenly asked, "Mister Mo, I heard that you fought with Wu Jie last night and suffered some injuries. Are you feeling better now?"
Mo Huai shook his head first before sighing, "This old master's injuries aren't serious, but I estimate that it will take several months for my strength to recover, otherwise, this old master would have followed the three Great Generals to pursue Wu Jie! Last night, the academy was lost and all the confidential information was stolen. This old man is ashamed to face the Yamachō! "
"Mr. Mo, please don't say that!"
Qin Qiong hurriedly said, "Wu Jie is a Martial Grandmaster, almost no one in the world can match him. For the safety of the Academy's Teachers and Students, Mister Mo fought a Martial Grandmaster alone and did everything he could. In the end, although Wu Jie still managed to steal the Academy's information, that was not Mister Mo's fault! Little Xuan knows right from wrong, so he definitely won't blame you! "
Mo Huai pursed his lips and did not speak, but the grief on his face was obvious to all!
Qin Qiong also knew that he would not be able to persuade Mo Huai to change his mind with just a few words, so he did not continue to persuade him. Instead, after a moment of silence, he asked, "Of the four of us here, Mister Mo is the only one who fought with Wu Jie. I wonder if Mister Mo can explain a thing or two to us?"
Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will be victorious in a hundred battles. The three of them were about to lead an army to pursue the Turks, so Qin Qiong felt that it was necessary to understand Wu Jie's specific strength in advance so that he could be mentally prepared.
Hearing this, Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Jingde turned their eyes to Mo Huai. After a moment of silence, Mo Huai said, "Wu Jie is extremely strong. First of all, he is the strongest person this old master has ever seen in terms of strength. In addition, this person's True Qi is vigorous, and although he does not have many moves, each of his moves is filled with an indomitable domineering aura that sometimes makes one unable to even think of resisting!
Of course, the strangest thing is that this person's True Qi seems to contain a trace of the power of Thunder and Lightning. When fighting with him, the slightest carelessness will result in the power of Thunder and Lightning invading one's body. If one does not use their True Qi to neutralize this Thunder and Lightning, it will only take a moment for one's arm to completely lose feeling. So, if three Great Generals fight with Wu Jie, you must be careful! "
"The power of Thunder and Lightning?"
Hearing this, the three of them could not help frowning deeply, Cheng Yaojin muttering, "This Old Cheng has never heard of a Secret Art in this world that can allow one's True Qi to produce the power of Thunder and Lightning. Little Brother Mo, are you sure you aren't mistaken?"
This old fellow was also very friendly. Speaking of which, it was not certain who was older between him and Mo Huai, but he had directly called him "Little Brother Mo"!
Mo Huai did not mind this and said firmly, "General Cheng, this old man's feeling is definitely not wrong! Last night, if this Wu Jie's Secret Art was not strange, and his True Qi contained the power of Thunder and Lightning, this old man would not have been defeated so quickly! Maybe in the end, the academy's information would not have been stolen by him! "
Qin Qiong looked at Cheng Yaojin and said in a low voice, "Zhijie, just because we haven't heard of some things doesn't mean they don't exist! Moreover, the Tujue Imperial Teacher has always been mysterious and rarely shows his skills in front of the world, so it is normal that we don't know about this! But now that we know from Mister Mo, we have to be more careful when fighting with him in the future! "
Cheng Yaojin had always been more convinced by Qin Qiong, so he nodded and said, "En! Of course! "
"Hehe! This old man has brought the telegraph and the students you wanted! "
At this time, Yan Silu's voice came from the door of the meeting room. Everyone followed the voice and saw Yan Silu and Meng Wenhao walking in one after another.
"Student Meng Wenhao greets Mister Mo and the three generals!"
Meng Wenhao quickly cupped his hands and bowed to Mo Huai, Yuchi Jingde, and the others.
The four of them waved their hands and said, "No need to be so polite!"
Qin Qiong looked at Meng Wenhao and said with a kind face, "Meng Wenhao, I believe Mister Yan has already told you the reason we called you here today. Are you willing to accept this mission? Don't worry, even if you don't accept, we will not blame you! "
Meng Wenhao did not even think and cupped his hands to Qin Qiong and said, "General Qin, on the way here, Mister Yan has already told me about the situation. I know that the generals are leading the army north to capture the Tujue and also to support Yamachō. In public, I am a student of Yanhuang College. When Yamachō is in trouble, how can I not help? In private, Yamachō and I owe a debt of gratitude. If not for Yamachō's favor and promotion, I would only be an ordinary student in the Imperial College! Therefore, this student is a hundred percent willing to follow the army to the north at any time! "
"Haha! Good! You know how to repay kindness and be loyal! Meng Wenhao, Little Xuan did not misjudge you! "
Hearing this, Cheng Yaojin laughed heartily.
Qin Qiong smiled and nodded. "Since you are willing to follow the army, then go home and prepare. Tell your parents clearly so that they won't worry about you! However, time is limited, so you have to hurry. When noon comes, the army will set out! "
Meng Wenhao said with a solemn face, "I don't have anything to prepare. As for my parents, I will leave a letter and ask someone to send it back. I can't delay the army's journey because of me!"
Yuchi Jingde could not help but nod and praise, "Good! Loyal and see the big picture. The students taught by Yanhuang College are indeed different from those Confucian scholars in the Imperial College! "
Yan Silu said modestly, "General Yuchi is too kind!"
At this moment, Mo Zhong's voice came from outside the door. "Mr. Mo, Datang Daily's Li Yu is outside the academy. She said she has something to discuss with Young Master Meng!"
Yan Silu could not help but frown. Cheng Yaojin looked at Meng Wenhao with a smirk. Obviously, he knew Li Yu. Meng Wenhao's expression changed. He stood up and cupped his hands. "Mr. Yan, this student will go and take a look. I will be back soon!"
Yan Silu nodded and said, "Yes! Go quickly! But don't delay the military situation! "
"Yes!"
Meng Wenhao replied and hurried out of the meeting room.
When he arrived at the mountain gate, he saw Little Fishy, who was dressed in red, standing outside the gate of the academy. The little girl seemed to have something on her mind. Her brows were slightly furrowed, and her eyes were dull. It was obvious that she was thinking about something else!
"Little Yu 'er!"
Meng Wenhao walked out of the academy gate and came to Li Yu. He called out softly.
"Oh! You're here! "
Little Yu 'er's body trembled and she immediately came back to her senses. She smoothed the hair in front of her forehead and asked as calmly as possible, "Wenhao, I heard that Teacher Wenji is sick. How is he now?"
Meng Wenhao's expression darkened. He replied, "I'm not sure. I originally planned to visit Teacher Wenji at noon, but now it seems that I might have to leave Yunshan in a while!"
Little Yu 'er was stunned and quickly asked, "Leave Yunshan? Wenhao, where are you going? Are you going somewhere far away? "
Meng Wenhao thought about it and felt that many people must have known that the Imperial Court had sent an army north. Moreover, Li Yu was a Tang and probably wouldn't do something like betraying the country. Thus, he gave a concise reply.
"Yamachō has received orders from the emperor to mobilize the state's army in the north to intercept Wu Jie. General Yuchi, General Cheng, and General Qin have been dispatched by His Majesty today to lead the army north to support Yamachō. In order to maintain contact with Yamachō, the three generals plan to bring a telegraph, and I will be the one controlling the telegraph!"
"Wu Jie is so powerful. Will Teacher be in danger?"
Little Yu 'er frowned and asked worriedly.
She was still used to calling Li Zexuan 'Teacher' and not 'Yamachō'!
Meng Wenhao said uncertainly, "Danger … of course there will be. That's why I agreed to go north with the army without hesitation. Now that Teacher Wenji is injured, I don't want to see anything happen to Yamachō!"
"En!"
Li Yu softly replied. Then, her expression became somewhat conflicted. After hesitating for a long time, she gritted her teeth and asked tentatively, "Wenhao, I also want to go north with the army. Can you help me ask General Qin?"
Meng Wenhao was startled. He widened his eyes and asked in surprise, "What? You also want to go north with the army? How can that be? Marching and fighting is a man's job. How can a girl like you go? "
"So what if I'm a girl? Previously, Hua Mulan joined the army in place of her father. Why can't I, Li Yu, go north with the army to support Teacher? "
Seeing Meng Wenhao's exaggerated reaction, Li Yu could not help but stomp her feet and angrily ask.
Meng Wenhao did not give in to her this time. Instead, he argued, "How can it be the same thing? Yamachō is indeed in danger right now, but I alone can control the telegraph. Little Yu 'er, why do you have to go with me? You have to know that marching and fighting is very difficult. How can a weak girl like you endure it? "
