The Town of Clear Water was located in the northwest corner of Chu. Although it had the name of Clear Water, it was actually a well-known backwater of the Chu Country. It was a very special environment. North of Yanmen, West of Longguan, the streets were patrolled by border guards. To the common people here, the soldiers did not have any sense of distance. It was normal for them to not see each other all day.

Washing Jade Cave was the only school in the town. In fact, there weren't many students in the entire town. From this, it could be seen how sparse Clear Water Town's population was. The number of ordinary citizens in Clear Water Town was not even two-thirds of the total number of soldiers. The weather was a little gloomy today, and a heavy rain was coming. This was a good thing for Clear Water Town. The rain was heavy and muddy.

As they got closer to the Washing Jade Cave Academy, the low wooden house and the delicate and pretty courtyard, they unconsciously gave off a scholarly vibe. From far away, one could hear the gloomy chanting of the old man.

"Learn the West River Eight Diagram Array, mandarin ducks hold a military seal in their sleeves. "Why should a general be a husband when a woman is willing to accept it?" After the old teacher finished reciting the poem with his hands behind his back and his head shaking, he stopped and turned back to look at the students in the academy with a smile. He was really at Chunhua's age, he felt as comfortable as a spring breeze on the faces of the students who were listening to his lecture with their heads held high. Suddenly, a chubby boy in the corner stood up, his pitch-black face easily distinguishable.

"Xu Zhen, what are you doing?"

The old man frowned coldly. Xu Zhen shivered as he looked at the ruler in the old man's hand. He subconsciously tightened his grip. What do we do, it's all because of this wind, some little bastard opened my window, it's raining, he woke me up alive, he was dreaming of leading the troops to war, a cool breeze scared me so much that I thought the Northern Tarantula was coming.

"That... "Sir, I am truly moved by your teachings. What you have said is too good. My admiration for you is like an unending torrent of water, yet also like the overturning of a great river …" "Flipping …"

He had clearly remembered the opening lines of Xu Qing's teachings that he had used to flatter his family, but why was it that when he woke up, he could not remember what was behind him? Xu Qingzhi, oh Xu Qinzhi, can't you give me some simple answers?

"Teng …" "Yes."

When Xu Zhen heard the thin voice reach his ears, he couldn't help but turn his head to look at the youth sitting in the front row next to the window. The youth was currently looking out the window at the drizzle. His eyes were deep and seemed to be troubled and tangled, as if he was pondering over the philosophy of life. Only Xu Shiji clearly saw the youth's lightly parted lips. Good for you, Xu Qinzhi.

"Like the raging waves of a great river, it grows endlessly. "Therefore, sir, please forgive me for being unable to suppress my feelings. I am deeply moved by what you have said." Xu Zhen finally said it out loud.

"Oh? Well, then, tell me what general I have just mentioned, and tell me more about the general. It can be said that I will not leave you with an attendant today for your homework, if you cannot, then I will let you have a taste of the ruler, okay?

When Xu Qingzhi, who was sitting in the front row, heard this, he withdrew his gaze from the drizzling rain and lightly smiled. If it was a side issue, this cheap brother of his could be said to be completely clueless. But if it was any general he was talking about, which battle or food were sufficient, he could go from Spring and Autumn all the way up to the present day.

Xu Shi's eyes lit up. At this moment, he felt that the two strands of beard of the old teacher were somewhat cute. His bright eyes gave the old man a fright. Could it be that this child was possessed?

"The person in the poem isn't hard to find. There is only one female general in our Chu, and she is General Qin Liangyu, the one who rode a thousand horses out of the North Pass, and fought for three hundred miles in one night. How could General Qin rely on a single woman to rise to the fourth rank? Furthermore, after the battle at Yanmen Mountain, he only came out with a thousand and three hundred riders. The border guards had suffered numerous casualties. The Wu Kingdom had fallen, and the internal rebel army had rebelled. Everyone felt that Chu was on the verge of being annihilated. At this moment, General Qin went to the Missing Moon Pavilion, which was originally a gathering place for the martial arts cultivators of Chu. There was very little contact with the temple grounds, just like the Martial Kingdom's Mountain Sea Pavilion. "No one thinks highly of General Qin. How many years has there been between the martial arts world and the temple? Helping him is extremely difficult."

As Xu Shiji spoke to here, he paused for a moment. He turned his head to look at Xu Qinghzhi in front of him. The youth's back was to Xu Shi, and his face could not be seen. Xu Zhen sighed and looked at the old man.

"Yeah, keep going."

"General Qin has succeeded. No one knows what happened that day at the Missing moon tower. However, the Missing moon tower lord personally sent General Qin out and assigned a thousand and three hundred experts to do so." It was these thirteen hundred people, following General Qin's strange and unpredictable path of advancement, that caused the North Desert Police to feel a headache. After that, they would discuss General Qin's route and come to a horrifying conclusion. She seemed to know in advance the direction in which all the troops of the Desert North Army were deployed and surrounded. From then on, General Qin will be ranked fourth on the ranking list. The comments are: mysterious, unpredictable, good at scheming, and evil. "

The old man nodded slowly.

"Mm, not bad, not bad. You don't need to hand in your lessons today. I was going to let you all talk about General Qin. "Good, good, good." Good, good, good.

"Thank you for your praise, sir."

The old man patted Xu Zhen's shoulder, indicating for him to sit down. The rain outside the window was getting heavier, and the old man knew that the noise of the rain must have drowned out his own voice. So the old man walked back to the podium and did it properly, slowly scanning the students in the hall. He put down the ruler, pointed out the window, and ringed his ear with his index finger — listen to the rain.

Xu Shiji looked at Xu Qingzhi and discovered that this fellow was still as impassive as if he had been struck by lightning. He did not understand what the old teacher was doing. He felt that the entire academy had fallen into a strange silence, as if everyone was lost in thought. In the past, he was the only person in the classroom who did not feel so lonely. But now, he felt that he seemed a bit stupid, and Xu Zhen was unwilling to admit it. Thus, he rubbed his shiny black forehead and thought about how Xu Qingzhi was looking out of the window. He seriously went off to meditate.

Xu Qinghui turned his head to look at Xu Shiji. Naturally, Xu Shiji also saw him. His two eyes turned as he gazed into the distance with even more seriousness than before. Xu Qingzhi helplessly laughed. Towards this cheap brother of his, he was also helpless. The youngster carefully listened to the sound of the torrential rain outside. It sounded like the clashing of horses, but was also like the clashing of a zither with silk bamboo. No one would know that the storm that would appear in the general evaluation many years later had stirred up the tide. They had once done nothing in the same academy, and there was no Janjaweed, no schemes, and only the sound of the rain outside the window and the dream hidden in the youth's heart.
