Rebel

After learning martial arts that day, Gu Ao turned back to the house, although he was a little tired, he did feel much more relaxed.

Walking on the small path, the moon is already in the sky. These days, Gu Ao always likes to walk in the academy every night. Sometimes he uses the soybeans sent by Chen Cun to cook rice in the mountains, and sometimes he goes down the mountain. Carrying water, I want to write down the gradually dissipating beauty of the cloud mountain; today I practiced martial arts, but Gu Ao paid more attention to feeling the breath in his chest, instead of wandering outside, he went straight back to the house.

In the distance, seeing a little light lit at the end of the dark night, Gu Ao was slightly taken aback: "I haven't returned yet, why is there a candle lit in the house?" Then he thought: "...Could it be Tian Banyan back?"

Walking along the path to the door, Gu Ao pushed the door open, his eyes were bright, a plump young man in brocade clothes was facing his back, he was sorting the clothes in the package at the desk, when he heard the door open, the young man Turning his head... I saw that the round face with dimples has faded away, and the clothes are covered with brocade gowns. His appearance looks like the richness of a master. When he saw Gu Ao, he smiled, only the dimples Still: "Brother Ao! Why did you come back to the dormitory? I have been waiting for you for a long time!"

"Brother Rong?" Gu Ao happily walked into the door, took it with him, looked Tian Rong up and down for a moment, raised his eyebrows and said: "Going out for a while, really has a different attitude..."

Tian Rong showed a shy look of embarrassment on his face, and asked: "Really?" After speaking, Tian Rong shook his wide sleeves, and took a folding fan hollowed out with gold threads in his hand, and shook it lightly. Blinking, revealing a harmless appearance to humans and animals, standing like a yushu Lingfeng.

Gu Ao was slightly taken aback: "...you really are..."

Tian Rong closed the folding fan, stretched out his arms and sleeves, and twirled around in front of Gu Ao as if showing off.

"How is it, not bad?"

Gu Ao pursed his lips: "... Dressed like a peacock, and you still don't change at this late hour, are you just waiting for me to come back and take a look at you?"

Tian Rong stopped in her tracks, clapped her hands, and said, "That's right! I'm waiting for you, just wanting to show you."

Speaking of which, Tian Rong pointed to the small lace package he had piled up on the couch: "Brother Ao, I won't be staying in the academy today, and Mr. Xiao booked a room for me and senior brother in the 'Pixiang Building'."

Gu Ao raised his eyebrows, and Tian Rong smiled obediently: "This time, I have gained a lot from being a teacher, so reward me!"

Gu Ao sized Tian Rong up for a moment, then nodded, "It's good to have aspirations."

Tian Rong touched his chin thoughtfully when he heard this, and then looked at Gu Ao: "I have aspirations, so... brother Ao, can I expand my aspirations?"

Gu Ao took a look at Tian Rong, and looked solemnly: "If my ambition is really fulfilled, I have to rely on Brother Rong."

When Tian Rong heard this, she put away her joking demeanor, nodded and said, "When you want to use it, tell me."

Gu Ao nodded, the joyful atmosphere of welcoming home just now gradually became dignified in the silence, Gu Ao walked to the side of the collapsed robe and sat down, sighing: "From now on, the world will be difficult... only sincerity can open it."

Tian Rong also sighed, and sat next to Gu Ao, and said, "I've been walking outside for so long, how could I not know? You and I are like brothers, if you need it at any time, you have to be with me Clearly."

Gu Ao suddenly laughed: "...you have grown up."

"People have to grow up..." Tian Rong touched the outline of his smiling face, let out a sigh of relief, rubbed it, the muscles on his face relaxed, and then narrowed his eyes: "It's my business to pick chestnuts from the fire, look There are thousands of mountains and rivers, and I naturally know who is the one who treats me well."

"You have always had a sweet mouth since you were a child."

Tian Rong chuckled, and after a while, he also sighed, and said, "...you didn't see me cry."

Gu Ao was startled slightly, raised his eyebrows, and glanced at Tian Rong: "...are you crying sadly?"

"...It's not sad, it's just that I feel like this, why!" Tian Rong twisted the handle of the fan in his hand, beating the beat: "Isn't it just for wealth and honor, but there are these..." Tian Rong said Shaking the gold-plated folding fan in his hand, "I feel quite boring again... It would be great if you were here. I feel at ease if you are here. Isn't the old saying that when brothers are united, their benefits can cut through gold... You have to have a plan."

"...I know." Gu Ao nodded, "It's coming soon."

"Don't bother me today," Tian Rong stood up, "You rest first, if you have anything to do, come to Pixianglou, I will live with Mr. Xiao and senior brother."

"Ah."

"Brother Ao, you can go down the mountain to take a look sometime, the world is really different now."

"Don't worry, there will be a time when you stretch out your hand in the future."

"Of course I don't worry, there will be a day," Tian Rong smiled, "I know, it will."

"Well, I'll take it to you."

"What are you giving me? My carriage isn't far away. Unless you want to see how beautiful the carriage I'm in is, alas, but unfortunately you can't see it clearly at night."

Gu Ao laughed: "For so many years, the naughtiness in you has not changed at all."

"Brother Ao who knows me." Tian Rong showed a big smile, "Let's go."

"No delivery."

Gu Ao looked at Tian Rong's leaving back, disappeared into the night, and suddenly remembered unconsciously, that he used to always plan to control Tian Rong in his hands, and wanted him to never have another heart... Now a See, it's not impossible.

If one day, I can find out that "slogan" and use it as a banner, it will benefit the country, the people, the world, and Tian Rong, and it will not be difficult to keep him by my side--with peace of mind and ease of mind, people will also , but there is desire.The same goes for Tian Rong.

At the end of his eyes, there was the disappearing figure, facing the night, Gu Ao thought about it again, and then turned back to the house.

----

Although he knew that he would leave Yunshan one day, Gu Ao never expected that this day would come so soon.

On this day, as usual, Gu Ao left early in the morning to visit the teacher at Shan Yunzi, and wished him well, but when he approached, he didn't see the little boy who usually served Yunying waiting outside the door.

It can be seen from a distance that there are many warriors with swords and knives lined up in front of the gate of Shanyunzi. They wear long boots and short bundles that cannot be identified. They all have broad shoulders and narrow waists. But there is a solemn look.

Gu Ao was startled, he hurriedly quickened his pace, he was about to approach, but he was blocked by a knife handle, the guard said solemnly: "My lord is inside, idlers should not trespass."

Before the words were finished, footsteps sounded, and the curtain was pulled aside respectfully from both sides... There was only a burst of laughter, the sound was deafening, and a middle-aged man in a royal blue brocade suit stepped out, and saw him His body is thick and majestic, his beard and hair are all gray, and there is a heroic spirit in his eyes, his waist is covered with gold, and the dragon pattern is embroidered... Gu Ao was slightly stunned. I'm afraid there is only one...

"My lord!" Seeing the middle-aged man coming out of the house, the two rows of warriors all saluted, just then stopped Gu Ao and stepped forward, saying: "My lord, this person..."

The middle-aged man slightly raised his hand when he heard the words, and the warrior stopped talking and bowed and took a step back.The middle-aged man walked towards Gu Ao step by step, his eyes moved slightly: "Boy, are you Shan Yunzi's student?"

"Exactly, who are you?"

The middle-aged man laughed, with a heroic spirit, he said: "The old man drove for several days and came here just to ask Mr. Shan Yunzi for advice, to see if there is anyone who can recommend me as a lover, unexpectedly, It turned out to be you, an impolite boy!"

Gu Ao was taken aback when he heard this.

The middle-aged man looked Gu Ao up and down: "This old man is Lu Mouzhong, the governor of Hanzhong County. I have heard for a long time that Shan Yunzi has accepted a disciple who was born in the same poor family as me. I asked him just now! I asked, I Why didn’t such a good thing come to me when I came to the academy to study? It made me go to the Yu family, and I couldn’t get ahead after being a county magistrate for many years! Hey! But it’s a good time to be caught up by you kid... Hahahaha... ..."

"Prefect Lu, be polite." Gu Ao said politely.

After laughing, the middle-aged man changed the subject, "I just heard Mr. Shan Yunzi say that your name is Gu Ao...?"

"Exactly."

"Gu Ao, the horse gallops the world, what a good name! If you come to Hanzhong County in the future, you will live in the county mansion directly, and the old man will ask the dog to accompany you to drink! Everyone is from a poor family, so don't be cautious!"

"Thanks to the love, please borrow a step, I have something to find the teacher."

Saying that, Gu Ao took a few steps forward, stepped over the guards, and came to Shan Yunzi's gate.Through the curtain, one can see that Shan Yunzi, who used to be lying on the roof every day, is now sitting upright in his clothes, waiting for guests. Behind the curtain, shadows are faintly moving, with an auspicious octagonal beast breathing out fragrance, and there is a figure in white sitting on the side of Shan Yunzi. Opposite, seems to be talking.The voice is faint and cannot be heard clearly.

And Yun Ang stood on the side, serving tea for the two of them according to the etiquette.

Gu Ao was slightly taken aback, knowing that he was too worried, and that Master Shan Yunzi was well, he breathed a sigh of relief and slowly retreated, turned around and walked down the steps, seeing that the middle-aged man was still looking at him under the steps , Gu Ao took a few steps forward, apologized and said: "If I was rude just now, please forgive me. Ao, people in the mountains and fields, don't treat guests well, please punish me."

Hearing this, the middle-aged man curled his lips slightly, and let out a laugh from his nose: "Shan Yunzi really taught you for nothing. No wonder he was full of good things about you just now. Looking at it now, he is so caring, you It deserves the word 'love disciple'!"

As he said that, the middle-aged man let out a sigh of relief again: "Go, since I have to make amends, why don't you take me around the academy... I want to see what the Liao family has done to it!"
