14. Another Fate (Please Read It Later)

The next day.

Chen Jianan invited his friends to hold a banquet in Anranju to celebrate the end of the academy's small exam.

There were a total of thirteen scholars.

Among them, seven were students.

Under Chen Jianan's introduction, although Xu Xing did not become the protagonist of the banquet and still stood like a minion, he was recognized by many students at this banquet, and they believed that he would be among them in the future.

And Xu Xing's luck also increased after making so many friends at once.

A new fate was born on his panel.

[Mirror Master: Xu Xing. ]

[Daoguo: An ordinary life (white). ]

[……]

[Fate: Broad knowledge and strong memory (gray↑). ]

Looking at the changing panel.

Xu Xing fell into deep thought.

"Brother Xu, what are you doing?"

"Miss Yingying is toasting you."

On the side, the drunken Qin Xiucai patted Xu Xing's shoulder and pointed to the girl in front of him who was toasting. The girl's face was like a new moon, she was in her twenties, and her figure was graceful and elegant.

Anranju not only provided wine for the scholars of the academy, but also provided prostitutes.

Although the rules of the academy were strict, most of the scholars were scholars. After living like an ascetic monk for a long time in the academy, they would indulge their nature when they came to the county town...

This group of people were talented and rich, and they were the favorites of the prostitutes.

It was the nature of scholars to love drifting.

There was a saying in the capital at the beginning of the Republic of China that the most favorite places to visit the Eight Great Hutongs were the "Two Courts and One Hall", and this hall was the Imperial University of Peking.

"Okay, okay."

Xu Xing regained his mind and drank the wine offered by Miss Yingying.

As for the "leather cup" that everyone shouted later, he smiled and declined.

He was not pretending to be noble, but "a little bit of red lips tasted by thousands of people", and he couldn't get over this hurdle in his heart.

Everyone didn't care about it, just thought that Xu Xing was a rookie and didn't know the good of women.

…

At five o'clock in the morning.

After drinking.

Xu Xing and others slipped into the dormitory from the back door of the academy.

"Is being well-informed and knowledgeable considered a destiny?"

"Besides, why was I born with a destiny of being well-informed and knowledgeable?"

As soon as he entered the door and had some free time, Xu Xing began to look at the changes in his destiny.

He frowned and thought for a while.

He soon guessed the reason.

In the dungeon world, he used his own advantages to successfully cheat and deceive Wang Jiaoshi and others.

But his cheating was impossible for people in the dungeon world to detect.

In other words, his cheating itself is a kind of talent.

It is essentially no different from the geniuses' photographic memory and recitation.

And... the ancient bronze mirror "reverses the cause and effect" and turns it into his own destiny.

However, the reason why the destiny was not born on the day of the exam, but after the banquet in Anranju, is probably inseparable from the recognition of many students.

This recognition, to put it in a broader sense, is [popularity].

Popularity is what people want.

The ancient emperors, if they were popular, their luck would increase greatly, if they were against people, their luck would decline greatly.

"It seems that the decision to cheat in the academy exam... was right..."

"Now I have to wait for the news from Master Ma and the brothers in Xiaoyi Hall."

He thought to himself.

Since the discovery of the ancient bronze mirror, six and a half days have passed in the real world, which is more than a month in the dungeon world.

Although he is now the brother of Qin Fengshan Xiaoyi Hall.

But because he has been in the academy for a long time, the contact between him and Xiaoyi Hall is inevitably a little weak. Master Ma did not inform him of the specific time of the mission to assassinate Governor Fang Yun at the First Normal School of Qin Province.

But according to the time calculation, it is about to end now.

However, just as he was about to go to bed, the ancient bronze mirror in his mind suddenly warned him, and he returned to the real world with a move of his mind.

In a blink of an eye.

Xu Xing returned to the Tianlao.

He once again felt his battered body.

This body is about to run out of energy.

"Master Xu, the commander is here, why are you still sleeping?"

"You will be in trouble if you offend the commander."

Seeing Xu Xing lying on the haystack, sleeping like a dead pig, Wu Shuban shouted a few threatening words.

If the prisoner died under his nose, he would also be punished.

"No need to shout."

"Look at his body, he is about to die."

Commander Liu was tall and strong, wearing a bullfighting suit and a goose feather knife on his waist. He walked to Xu Xing's side about three or four steps away, looked at Xu Xing a few times, and saw that he was thin and skinny. He shook his head and sighed: "I took too many drugs to enhance my sexual pleasure, and I have been working hard recently. Even if I have an iron body, I can't stand it."

Hearing this, Xu Xing closed his eyes again just as he was about to open them.

It is not yet the three days stipulated by Commander Liu.

The reason why Commander Liu came to Tianlao to inspect him was probably because he had recently copied not only the mathematical knowledge in "Tan Tian", but also the imperial examination model essays in "Da Ti San Wan Xuan".

These imperial examination model essays aroused Commander Liu's suspicion.

Therefore, Commander Liu chose to come to Tianlao to inspect in person, fearing that there was something wrong.

"Is this what he wrote recently?"

"Mathematics... well, it's written deeply, but these classics? He also wants to make a statement on the classics?"

In my ears, I heard the rustling sound of Commander Liu flipping papers, and the sound of conversations with Wu Shuban, Deng Xiaowei and others, but most of these conversations were jokes about Xu Xing.

It's okay to make a statement on mathematics.

Based on Xu Xing's reputation, he seems to have the ability.

But to make a statement on the meaning of the classics..., even the university scholars dare not say such a thing.

"Then..."

"According to your meaning?"

Captain Deng looked at Commander Liu in a flattering manner, and his posture was extremely humble.

The commanders of the Night Patrol have always been the emperor's confidants, and Commander Liu is even better. His mother was the wet nurse when Emperor Chongming was the crown prince, and the two of them were in the same boat.

"Since it is the order of Prime Minister Ouyang..."

"Just do it."

"But you must remember that not a single piece of paper can leave the Tianlao."

"As for the mathematics book written by Xu Dianju, I have taken it away and presented it to the emperor in person."

Commander Liu thought twice and gave the order.

Even Prime Minister Ouyang did not have such great ability to show favoritism in the Tianlao. After Su Xueshi asked Prime Minister Ouyang, Prime Minister Ouyang mentioned it to Emperor Chongming, so that Xu Xing could use paper and pen in the prison.

However... even if it was just a mention, and Emperor Chongming didn't take it seriously, they had to do it properly. There couldn't be any mistakes.

This is the prestige of the emperor!

Can't be ignored!

Then, a group of officials swaggered out of the prison gate.

"Lord Xu."

"Don't pretend to sleep, even if you are asleep, you have to wake up now."

"Now that Wu has left, go and send the commander off, I will recite a formula, you remember it... It's my way of repaying your recent hospitality."

As soon as the footsteps in the prison corridor stopped.

Xu Xing heard Chang Ji's urging voice from the right cell.

"What?"

"Teach me the formula?"

A great thing suddenly fell on Xu Xing's head, and Xu Xing couldn't do it all at once.
