Chapter 72: Cicadas Appear Again by the Lake
The sound of horse hooves sounded again by the South Lake, and then disappeared.
Chen Chao, who was dressed in black, hung a broken knife and walked slowly towards the small courtyard. Along the way, many students by the lake had bad looks on their faces when they saw Chen Chao, but they couldn't have an attack and could only treat it as... Even if they didn't see it, word of what happened in the morning had already spread. Now everyone knew about this young guard who was born in Tianqing County. But Master Zeng, whom he had just recognized by the lakeside in the morning, couldn't say anything.
To put it bluntly, academy students are the best at reasoning. Now that even the master can't beat him, then of course there is nothing they can do, even counting them.
Unless it's the real standouts of this generation, it's unlikely to make any difference.
Returning home with the sunset is a very good thing. Chen Chao has not felt that life has been so comfortable for a long time, so he walked slower and slower. As he walked, he touched the badge on his waist. Chen Chao felt a little lost in thought until After a while, he came back to his senses.
But as soon as I came back to my senses, I saw a young man standing in the sunset by the lake. He was wearing an ordinary long robe. His face was extremely handsome. You could tell he was extraordinary just by looking at him. It was this man named Chen Chao. When I arrived at the opposite side, I felt a little dazed for a moment.
Before he could look away, the young man turned back to look at him. The two of them looked at each other for an instant, and there was something special about it.
Chen Chao squinted his eyes, then quickly took the initiative to look away and walked forward, as if he didn't care about such a thing.
The young man stood in the sunset and took the initiative to say, "In the early morning, I heard that you were here and made everyone in my academy speechless?"
His voice was very light, not unlike a boy of this age.
Chen Chao stopped and asked, "What's your opinion?"
Since the other party wanted to talk about what happened in the early morning, Chen Chao could let him talk about these things. Anyway, it was Huang Zhi who was absolutely wrong about that matter, no matter how he argued it.
The young man smiled and said, "The warriors of the Liang Dynasty cannot be insulted. This is of course the truth. I have nothing to say about that matter, but is that what you really think?"
Without waiting for Chen Chao to speak, the young man turned to himself and said, "What you think is probably just to save face in front of that girl?"
Chen Chao was speechless.
The young man continued, "Actually, what you and Huang Zhi did were the same. They were just sensationalizing for a woman."
Chen Chaoxiao asked, "Have you always been so confident?"
After hearing this, the young man frowned, as if he was a little unhappy, and said, "You can refute me."
In fact, when the young man and Chen Chao were talking at the lakeside, many students had already gathered here. Of course they knew that the boy with the knife hanging was Chen Chao who caused trouble by the lakeside in the early morning, but they didn't know that the good-looking one Who is this young man?
But looking at the clothes on that young man, one can only deduce that he is also a student of the academy.
The students were looking forward to seeing Chen Chao defeated here.
Not to mention anything else, but it can always help the academy regain some face here.
Chen Chao said, "I'm not very good at reasoning, and I don't want to refute you."
The young man looked at Chen Chao's knife and said confidently, "Maybe you want to fight me?"
"I have killed monsters that preyed on my people in Tianqing County for several years. I have also killed those Qi Refiners. Do you think you can be worse than them?"
The implication is very clear.
>
The young man's face became a little unsightly. He originally wanted to appear in a reasonable manner, but Chen Chao's response in front of him left him a little confused.
The young man said coldly, "There is no point in arguing with you, and there is no point in fighting in private. I will ask you for advice at the Wanliu Meeting."
Hearing the words "Wanliuhui", the students by the lake began to whisper. This time, although the number of places in the "Wanliuhui" in Daliang Dynasty has been increased from eight to ten, the academy still occupies the majority, but it is only three or four. People's quota, the young man said this, doesn't it mean that he will definitely be selected?
what does that mean?
Naturally, it means that the young man in front of him will be the real genius of the academy.
Countless people's eyes all fell on the young man. The young man was unmoved and just looked at Chen Chao.
Chen Chao smiled and shook his head, "I joined the Wanliu Hui for the sake of the Liang Dynasty. I have no personal grudges with you. I don't want to fight you when I get to the Wanliu Hui. That would only waste the strength of my Daliang Dynasty. "
This sentence attracted a lot of cheers at the lakeside.
There can never be only one voice in the academy.
Naturally, the voice of this sentence was not too low. After Chen Chao said it, the students at the lakeside could naturally hear it clearly. Many of them had been at the lakeside in the early morning. They knew about the big drama of robbing people and had already vaguely heard it. I guessed a little bit. Now when I heard what Chen Chao said, I thought that it was indeed like this. This young man was being competed by those big shots, and it must be for Wanliu Hui.
Wan Liuhui was something that the Liang Dynasty did not want to mention, but had to mention it.
This time it will be held in the capital of the gods, and the students naturally know it. Of course they are looking forward to it, but at the same time they are a little scared.
The expectation is that this time at home, the court will perform better than before and vigorously promote the national prestige. As for the fear, naturally it is afraid of being embarrassed like before.
With such emotions, he naturally loves and hates the young geniuses who participated in the Wanliu Club.
Now that Chen Chao has expressed his stance, they are naturally happy.
At least he has the overall situation in mind.
In this case, the young man in front of him, although he was born in the academy, was disliked by many people. How could he fight internally on this matter?
After all, Daliang Dynasty can only participate in the Wanliu Club with ten places.
Since he was selected to fight for Daliang Dynasty, he naturally had to put Daliang Dynasty first.
The young man frowned and did not speak again.
He had made a mistake in his words before, and he was indeed a little passive at this moment.
Chen Chao did not say anything more. In his opinion, the young man in front of him had a good appearance, but his brain was not very smart like Huang Zhi.
Not to worry about.
But he was also a little worried. If all the young people participating in the Wanliu Club were like this, it would be really difficult for Daliang Dynasty to win.
Chen Chao did not stop and soon arrived in front of the lakeside courtyard. He pushed the door and entered, and then ignored the voices outside.
Xie Nandu sat in the courtyard, reading a book all the time. The volume of Taoism in his hand seemed to have reached the last page.
On the small stool in front of the chair, some preserved fruits were eaten, but more were left.
Chen Chao came over, looked at her and sighed, "There are still a lot of cicadas in the academy."
Xie Nandu raised her head. She had naturally heard what happened by the lake before.
She shook her head and said, "He is not an ordinary cicada."
