When Zhang Yu arrived at the square below, a bank attendant handed him an invitation to the cloth auction. Anyone with this invitation would be able to participate in the monthly cloth auction.
He thought for a moment and thought that there might be items related to God Yuan at the cloth auction, so he took the invitation.
At this moment, he suddenly noticed a commotion in front of him. Looking forward, he saw a dozen or so guards wearing leather helmets and carrying swords walking over. They vigilantly scanned the surroundings. A middle-aged woman in her fifties was surrounded in the middle. When this group of people walked past, the people on both sides of the road would make way for them.
He asked the bank attendant who hadn't left yet, "Do you know who this is?"
The attendant hesitated for a moment and said softly, "This is the wife of a scholar from the Linzhi Academy with the surname Shang. I heard that she is the daughter of a tycoon. Hasn't the Protectorate been unstable recently? That's why many guards have been hired. "
Zhang Yu nodded slightly. Taiyang Academy wasn't the only academy in the Protectorate. Sixty years ago, the Commissar established one large, two small academies under the leadership of Yao Hongyi, the current Protector of the Protectorate, for checks and balances and for certain needs.
Linzhi Academy was the largest of these academies. Many officials of mixed Cheyenne blood and Cheyenne blood had come from there. Many of them were close to the Army of God and were the biggest opponents of the traditional conservative faction.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but ponder. Although he had killed Almote, the Army of God could quickly choose another person to replace him. For example, Chi Shou, who had lost to Almote, was a suitable candidate.
This person had lost in the duel because his fighting style was too restrained by Almote and he couldn't use his abilities. However, in terms of actual fighting strength, this person wasn't weak.
Previously, he and Fan Lan had discussed the strength of the Army of God's four major Marquises. The Left Marquis Almote was the youngest. He rose to power quickly and fought the most. Recently, all the tough battles that required the Army of God's participation were completed by him. Therefore, his strength was the most transparent.
The Right Military Marquis, Pang Gong, appeared in front of people the most. He liked to interact with people the most and went to all kinds of places the most. However, it was rare to see him fight, so it was difficult to make an accurate judgment of him.
Subordinate Marquis Qi Dian was publicly recognized as a powerful person. However, this person did not participate in the specific affairs of the Divine Guard Army and was indifferent to the battle between the Profound Palace and the Divine Guard Army. He was only interested in cultivation, so he guarded the Honghe Pass all year round and fought with the EsGod and EsGod Priests to temper himself.
Marquis Zhu Que's strength was unknown. However, it was rumored that this person had completely fused with his divine robe and reached that level. He was the biggest threat to the Xuanfu.
Now that the Turbid Tide was subsiding, the Army of God would definitely not allow the Conservatives to ignite the flames of war. Presumably, it wouldn't be long before the Conservatives, including the Xuanfu, would face the strongest attack.
And this time, neither side had a way out.
He glanced in the direction of the Summer Gazing Platform again before walking up the main road.
Originally, he wanted to return to the academy, but he suddenly remembered that today was the end of the month break. His student, Yu Mingyang, should be nearby. Previously, when this student saw that someone wanted to slander him, he came overnight to report. Since he was here, he might as well pay a visit.
He turned and walked. About fifteen minutes later, he entered a simple alley and came to the door of a house. He raised his hand and knocked on the door.
After a while, a voice came from the door. "Who is it?"
Zhang Yu: "It's me, Zhang Yu."
Hurried footsteps sounded and the door was pulled open. Yu Mingyang appeared behind the door with a pleasantly surprised expression. "Teacher? Why are you here? " As he spoke, he hurriedly tidied his clothes and clasped his hands. "This student greets Teacher."
Zhang Yu raised his hand to return the greeting.
Yu Mingyang turned to the side and invited him. "Teacher, please come in and sit."
Zhang Yu nodded and walked in.
Yu Mingyang led Zhang Yu to the guest room in the middle and invited him to sit down on a heavy wooden chair. He said apologetically, "My house is simple and crude. Please forgive me for not serving you well."
Zhang Yu said, "If the heart is satisfied, the object will be satisfied.
Yu Mingyang brought in a cup of tea and respectfully handed it over. "Teacher, please have some tea."
Zhang Yu took it and took a sip. He put it aside and said, "Have a seat too."
Only then did Yu Mingyang sit down.
Zhang Yu: "How have you been in the Tough Claw Tribe recently?"
Yu Mingyang said, "Very good. Although Teacher is not there, your prestige is still there. Those barbarians do not dare to make things difficult for students. Now there are more and more people going there to do business. The people in the tribe are speaking in the Tianxia language. I'm afraid that it won't be long before that place becomes another vassal tribe of my Protectorate."
Zhang Yu said lightly, "These aboriginals are afraid of power and not virtue. Don't be deceived by their appearance. Only with swords and guns can there be etiquette."
Yu Mingyang said seriously, "I know. When I first entered the school, there was a teacher who taught me that these aboriginals are only wearing a layer of human clothing, but they still walk on four legs. When you are careless, they will rush up and bite you. When you wave your whip, they will return to their original place and become obedient. When they can stand up and walk like us Tianxia people and understand etiquette and morality, then we can truly treat them as equals."
Zhang Yu nodded. "This teacher of yours is very good. Is he a teacher from the Academy?"
Yu Mingyang said, "Yes, it is a teacher called 'Wang Chuan'."
Zhang Yu thought for a moment. When he was in the Academy, he had never heard of this person's name. He either changed his name or left when he came.
After chatting with Yu Mingyang for a while, he got up and said goodbye.
Before he left, he reminded him, "The situation in the Protectorate has been a little unstable recently. You have to be careful. If you have any difficulties, you can come find me."
Yu Mingyang bowed gratefully. "Thank you, Teacher."
He walked Zhang Yu to the door and bowed from afar. He watched as the latter left before returning to his room to tidy up.
The middle-aged man walked in at this time. He looked at the teacups on the table and said, "Did someone come by just now?"
Yu Mingyang said, "It was Teacher."
The middle-aged man's expression changed slightly. He subconsciously took a few steps back and looked around. "The one who killed EsGod?"
Yu Mingyang said, "Yes."
The middle-aged man asked anxiously, "Then where is your teacher?"
Yu Mingyang said, "He sat down for a while and left after drinking a few mouthfuls of tea." He said regretfully, "I wanted to treat Teacher to a meal, but Teacher said he had something to do."
The middle-aged man seemed to be slightly relieved. "It is a pity."
Yu Mingyang said regretfully, "It is a pity that Big Brother was not here just now. Otherwise, I could have met Teacher."
The middle-aged man's eyelids twitched. "There is no need. I am a boor and have not studied much. How can I talk to your teacher like that? It will be a joke."
After leaving Yu Mingyang's house, Zhang Yu returned to his residence in the academy.
Li Qinghe saw him return and bowed respectfully. "Teacher, you are back."
Zhang Yu nodded and handed over the leather suitcase in his hand. "Put this in my study. Also, send over the newspapers from these days."
Li Qinghe took it and said, "Yes, Teacher."
Zhang Yu looked up at the sleeping Miaodan Lord and walked into the house. He washed up, changed into a loose robe, and went to the study.
He first flipped through the newspapers. There hadn't been any particularly interesting news in the past ten days or so. The main thing was that the Profound Palace's victory this time was widely publicized, as well as the various destruction that the Plague Gods had caused to the north.
Of course, the more destruction they caused, the greater the contribution Xuanfu made this time. It also showed the incompetence and inaction of the Army of God.
There was a lot of news about him here, mainly about how he completed the final blow to kill the Plague God. In fact, with these articles, it was almost certain that he would be promoted next year.
However, he felt a little regretful that "Qing Yu's" article was missing from the newspapers.
He remembered that Xiao Qingshu should be buried at this time. En, when can I go pay my respects? I will burn some of my articles for him. It can be considered as relieving his loneliness.
Just as he was reading the newspapers, Li Qinghe walked in and bowed. "Teacher, Mr. Liu is here to visit."
Zhang Yu thought that Liu Guang should have rushed over immediately after hearing the news that he had returned. There must be something, so he put down the newspapers and walked out of the study.
Liu Guang was pacing back and forth in the guest room. When he saw him come out, he immediately cupped his hands and said solemnly, "Brother Zhang, I know that you have just returned and should not disturb you at this time. However, there is an important matter related to you. So when Dean Chi heard that you have returned, he specially asked me to invite you."
