Chapter 105: Border Town Ning Que, Black Robe Scholar

"Master!"

"you are back!"

A slightly dark and thin girl was shouting happily and waving at the gate of Weicheng City. She even ran forward quickly and rushed over eagerly. It was obvious that this silly girl would wait for him here every day.

Ning Que took off his black hood, his hair was messed up by the wind, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he hugged Sangsang who was flying towards him.

He smiled and said, "I haven't seen you for a while. Let me see if you have gained weight again, Master?"

"Hahaha!"

"Master, stop it, it's itchy!"

"Others are watching!"

With a slightly blushing face, Sangsang blocked Ning Que's restless big hands, wrapped her arms around his neck, and buried her little face in that strong chest, feeling incomparable warmth.

Under the teasing gaze of the city gate guard, Sangsang held Ning Que's arm and slowly walked towards home.

Every year, Ning Que would be away from home for a few months, traveling around and measuring the world with his footsteps. Every time he passed by a place, he would be influenced by it and leave his mark.

This cannot be accomplished in a day.

To be on the safe side and avoid being noticed by Haotian, Ning Que only spent a few months a year to carry out the operation.

He was like a cautious mouse, slowly moving food from under Haotian's nose, and one day he would empty Haotian's big granary.

"Mr. Ning!"

"Hello, Mr. Ning!"

Facing the constant greetings from passers-by on the street, Ning Que nodded one by one. There were adults and children among them, but his eyes were all full of respect.

The reason is simple, it's just because Ning Que is the only teacher in this border town!

When Ning Que was in his teens, he founded an academy with the intention of educating others and also to pass the time.

Of course, it is not the kind of academy that Confucius taught. In a sense, it is just an enlightenment school to teach these young children.

Because his teaching is interesting and incisive, adults also like to listen to him and regard it as a way to broaden their horizons.

Everyone in Weicheng knows that Master Ning has read thousands of books and traveled thousands of miles. He often travels and has extraordinary knowledge. There is no telling how much knowledge and interesting stories are in his head. He is a first-rate capable person.

The few months that Ning Que was away were also considered a vacation for this student.

At the market.

The two of them walked through slowly.

"Hey, Mr. Ning, you're back. We just slaughtered a pig today. Would you like a piece of top-notch front shoulder? A pinch of fine salt and a light grill. The taste is simply amazing!"

Sangsang looked at Ning Que expectantly.

Ning Que smiled, scratched her nose with his fingers, and said with a smile: "Okay, then let's do the next one!"

"Master, there is also this, this..."

"Okay, buy them all, you little greedy cat!"

Ning Que tapped her forehead lightly, then paid the money readily.

He had never worried about gold and silver. Not to mention that his parents had some savings with them before coming to Weicheng, Ning Que would also bring back some money every year when he traveled outside.

As for where all this money came from, of course it was “borrowed”!
Lend money to the poor!
There is never a shortage of horse bandits or mountain thieves in border towns. They use the wealth of others to help themselves overcome their poverty. After all, they still have a little drunkard to feed at home!

Waiting until the door of home.

Sangsang looked at Ning Que in a slightly flattering manner, and looked into Ning Que's arms as if she was thirsty, and said expectantly: "Master, have you bought that?"

Ning Que laughed in silence, took out two bottles of the strongest Jiujiang Double Distilled Liquor from his arms, shook the bottles like he was teasing a cat, and said, "Old rules, I'll give it to you if you do as I say!"

Haw!

Sangsang looked shy and timid. He snatched two bottles of liquor and ran away as fast as he could, shouting, "Master, Madam, the young master is back!"

"Tsk tsk! This girl!" Ning Que shook his head and walked into the yard.

This courtyard is a house with five courtyards. Although it is not very rich, it is elegant and enough for living. Especially there is a small pond, which is rare in this desolate area of ​​​​the border town.

The family is simple. In addition to Ning Que's parents and Sangsang, there are two maids and two servants. Compared with Ning Que in the original novel, it is already very good.

Sangsang's position was also a bit awkward. She didn't act like a maid, nor like a lady. She was raised by the Ning family since she was a child. Fortunately, Ning Que's mother made the decision to let Sangsang become Ning Que's child bride.

I can only say, what a great assist from my mom!

Otherwise, if we rely on this stupid Taishang Daojun, who knows how many years it will take to conquer the Ever Night world!

After meeting my parents, I had a very enjoyable dinner.

After resting for two days, Ning Que went to the school to teach early on the third day as usual.

He was dressed in a black robe, with his hair tied up with a wooden hairpin. He held a book in one hand and walked slowly through the center of the school. On both sides of him were children listening to the lecture. His words seemed to have magical power, which could make these children quiet down and concentrate on listening.

“The people can be made to follow it, but they cannot be made to understand it.”

"If the people can do it, let them follow it; if they cannot do it, let them know it."

"If the people can be led, follow them; if they cannot be led, know them!"

"Sir, why does one sentence have three ways of reading?" a child asked.

"This is a good question. Let me explain it to you one by one..."

Just when Ning Que was concentrating on teaching, a woman walked in through the gate of the academy. She was dressed in a maid's attire, but her face was elegant and she had a unique demeanor.

As she listened to the lecture given by the black-robed scholar, a glimmer of wonderment appeared in her eyes.

"The guide that the Weicheng garrison commander found is quite good, but I didn't expect this person to be so talented!"

a moment ago.

Princess Li Yu disguised herself as a maid and asked to see Ma Shixiang, the defender of Weicheng.

Li Yu said: "The princess wants to cross the Min Mountains and return to the capital as soon as possible, but the roads in the vast Min Mountains are difficult and dangerous, so she needs an experienced guide."

Ma Shixiang frowned and said, "If the princess insists on returning to the capital from Minshan, I can send a large number of troops to escort you."

"No!"

"Princess, please travel light and with a small group of people. You must not reveal your whereabouts unless it is absolutely necessary. As for the guide, he must be loyal and reliable. I wonder if General Ma has a suitable candidate?"

When Ma Shixiang heard this, he started to complain about so many conditions. He was a rough soldier and couldn't stand all these rules and regulations.

He immediately called two people over and said impatiently, "The princess's maid said that the princess wants to return to the capital by crossing the Min Mountains. You two go down and make arrangements for her."

"Yes!"

When Li Yu just walked out of the room, Ma Shixiang's voice came from behind again: "Wait, take her to find Mr. Ning!"

"Just tell him to do me a favor and I'll treat him to a drink when he comes back!"

After a few people walked away.

Ma Shixiang cursed and said, "I'm worried enough every day. If something really happens to the princess, it will definitely be Weicheng who will be held responsible."

As for Ning Que, Ma Shixiang vaguely knew that he was not an ordinary person. He was probably a cultivator, otherwise he would not be able to travel freely in this border town full of bandits and robbers, and he would not be able to travel frequently.

Moreover, she often went to him for drinks, and the two of them had a good relationship. The Ning family had lived in Weicheng for many years, and they knew each other well, so they naturally met the princess's requirements for loyalty and reliability.

So there came the incident of Li Yu going to the school to find Ning Que.

Seeing this, Ning Que placed the book in his hand flat on the table, dismissed the students early and asked them to go home after school.

Children were seen filing out from beside Li Yu, their faces full of joy.

The plot is about to begin!
