"It's aggrieved, of course it's aggrieved! But no matter how aggrieved it is, can my dear brother beat anyone?"

"Nonsense, if you can survive the fight, why should I tell you this?".

"But I can't beat him, none of us can beat him! Otherwise, let's all run, run quickly, maybe..."

"Maybe shit, you can run better with two legs than with four?".

"Then, then, what should we do? But what should we do? If I had known that such a coward and aggrieved person would be hacked to death by bandits and end up with his body exposed in the wilderness, it would be worse than...".

"Hmph! Death is lighter than a feather and heavier than Mount Tai. How could you, my dear friends, let your guard down at the critical moment? Death is not terrible. The terrible thing is that even death cannot fulfill your last wish!".

"Oh, Brother Wu, at this critical moment, please stop hanging on to your book bag. Can we not fight? It's better to escape for your life first..."

Just when a group of scholars were panicking, running around in confusion, arguing, complaining, and frightened with each other, not knowing what to do, and full of despair and remorse, finally, Bingqiu had brought them with him. He quickly caught up with the weak scholar and came to them.

"Hey, what's going on with you scholars? It's windy and rainy. Why don't you find a place to hide and have fun in the rain?".

Riding on a tall horse, he bent over and looked at the pitiful drowned rats in front of him. Seeing their eyes looking back at him, full of frightened and desperate nerds, Bingqi felt disgusted in his heart, but because of the Following the Lord's instructions, I had to work hard to show them a good face.

He also knew that scholars were generally fragile. Of course, except for the evil lord of his family, most of the other acquaintances were as unintimidated as weak chickens.

If I were to be a little more fierce and frighten them, and if I couldn't complete the task, the master would punish me and I would be screwed.

"Everyone, my ninth master sees that you are all scholars. It is not easy to go out. Seeing that everyone is in trouble in the cold weather, my ninth master can't stand it, so I have specially set aside two carriages. I ordered you to get in. Together."

"Get in the car and go together? You, you, no, no, you are not here to kill us?" a scholar murmured in disbelief.

"Are you here to invite us to get in the car and take shelter from the rain?" Another scholar followed up, with surprise and joy in his eyes.

"So, you are good people? Not robbers?" This person was still under suspicion and could not be sure.

"Oh my god, I was so scared to death just now..." This is the poor guy who was so scared that he almost sat down in the muddy water just now.

After all the scholars heard Bingqiu's explanation of his purpose, one by one they could not help but sigh and rejoice. The young and careless ones, and the few who were deeply regretful just now, even dragged each other. Cried with joy.

Until they saw the visitor nodding affirmatively over and over again, and watched the motorcade coming towards them slowly in the distance. Finally, these dozen scholars, who had experienced the wind and rain and been frightened for a long time, finally sat on the warm carriage. Only then did I really breathe a sigh of relief.

As for doubting Bingqi’s intention to come and questioning whether the invitation he said was true or false?

Sorry, that doesn’t exist!

Why? Because they are also scholars after all, and they have also been through the journey from being a child to a scholar!

When they were born in junior high school, it was nothing, but when they became a scholar, their status became completely different!

Not only does the family have fifty acres of farmland that is tax-free, but they no longer have to perform labor, forced labor, or military service. Other taxes, such as Ding tax, household registration tax, and other exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes are also completely exempted.

They also expressed their gratitude and admiration from the bottom of their hearts to Mr. Youxiang Ji, who resolutely implemented this measure of imperial favor and benefited scholars like them, and actively supported its implementation.

Of course, the benefits of becoming a scholar go far beyond these.

As scholars and young scholars, there is no doubt that they are worthy of investment.

From the time when he was a scholar in Zhongzhong, various people from around him and even from the county came to show their kindness.

Among them were landowners, merchants, and even foreign ministers. They all extended goodwill olive branches to them and tried to win them over by various means.

It is common to give money, land, and support them in continuing to study for the imperial examination;

It is common to give gifts to houses and maids, and to add fragrance to their red sleeves;

There are also things to send to teachers, letters of recommendation for studying, and to pave the way for them to take the imperial examination;

In short, it's even more drizzle to see that the person who came today said that he helped them when they were in trouble so that they could remember their favor.

They all even thought that this man was a shrewd master. After all, their dozen or so talents were a great force!

Of course, as scholars and scholars who have achieved fame, they still need to be reserved and etiquette, although they also urgently need each other's favor.

The middle-aged old scholar thought he was older. Although he was definitely going to accept the olive branch offered by Ji Yun, he still wanted to accept it in a graceful manner.

He stepped forward to take the lead, straightened out his wilted and wet clothes, clasped his hands, bent down and bowed to Bingqiu, and after the scholar's salute, he spoke.

"I, Zhang Liang, of Xianjushan Mountain, have met this bodyguard and asked you to recommend him. I would like to thank you in advance for your help."

My lord is kind-hearted, but he is not something that dull scholars like them can just see.

In this world, there are so many officials who want to see my lord, not to mention the small scholars, that is, the imperial examinations and the Jinshi. There is no excellence, no wisdom and talent, no place to shine, how can I get into my lord's job?

Eye?

Bingqiu shook his head decisively and refused.

"We are destined to meet each other. Don't worry about it. My master is so eager to do good things and just doesn't want to help others when they are in trouble. He doesn't care about these false courtesy. What's more, you are also scholars that my father admires. So you just get on the carriage with peace of mind.

Just take a rest and don’t postpone your humility." As for taking them there for introduction?

My lord didn't give any orders just now, so I might as well skip it.

Bingqi thought that the conversation would end here, but how could he have expected that this old scholar is still an upright person, oh no! Is he a scheming person?

After sending them to the two carriages at the front of the motorcade, when Bingqiu was about to come back to resume his life, the damn scholar actually saw himself parked beside the carriage to resume his lord's life. He jumped out of the car and braved the rain.

Bian Dian ran over.
