Chapter 404: Being Mistaken for a Spy

I didn't stay in the martial arts training ground for too long. I walked slowly to the exit of the training ground, close to the wall. I looked around, didn't see any human figures, and didn't hear any human breath, so I walked out.

The martial arts academy has a front courtyard, a middle courtyard, and a back courtyard. I am now in the back courtyard, where students practice their skills. There are martial arts training grounds, horse training grounds, archery training grounds, etc. Each field covers a large area. Now it is empty and looks particularly eerie. From time to time, night crows fly by, making a "quack quack" sound that is very harsh, which makes people feel scared and their scalps numb.

I left the training ground and headed straight for the courtyard.

The atrium of the Military Academy is the student dormitory and canteen. The houses are built in a very neat row.

Since the military academy does not admit female students, there are no male and female areas in the dormitories, only areas divided by grade and class.

Due to the large number of students, several canteens were built. The entire student campus is very large. It takes more than ten minutes to walk from one end to the other.

I really didn't expect that the scale of ancient colleges could be so large. It was almost as large as the medical school I attended in my previous life.

The place where I found the thief last time on the mountain was in the dormitory area, but now when I walked over there, it was quiet all around and I couldn't hear any sound at all.

I walked around the dormitory area, but didn't find anything, but I was exhausted.

The college was closed for the holidays, and no one cleaned up the snow on the ground. When I stepped on it, the snow almost covered my calves, making it very difficult to walk. I walked and rested, but after walking for so long, I didn't see a single person.

Did Zheng Xian withdraw his troops?

I was wondering, and just as I was about to step on the ground, I suddenly heard a tiny sound in my ears! The sound was not very clear, and I didn't know where it came from.

The lobby of the martial arts academy is the teachers' office area and teaching area. The teaching area is larger than the dormitory area. There are rows of lecture halls (classrooms) stretching as far as the eye can see. It takes a lot of effort to figure out where the sound is coming from.

I pricked up my ears and slowly and tiptoed towards the direction of the sound.

When they entered the vestibule, they found that Zheng Xian's men had not completely withdrawn. It was just dark, and most of the people who stayed behind stayed in the house. Only a few people on duty formed a group and patrolled various places in the vestibule.

Not long after I entered the vestibule, I met a team of patrolling officers with torches. Fortunately, the doors of the lecture halls were lightly closed and not locked, so I slipped into the classroom quickly and didn't dare come out until the officers had gone far away.

After coming out of the lecture hall, I continued to grope towards those tiny sounds.

I also know that this place is dangerous. In addition to Zheng Xian's men, there may be remnants of the bandits. If I get caught, I'm afraid I won't even have a chance to explain before I'm killed. I originally thought that I would withdraw if I couldn't find the source of those voices, but the more I listened to those voices, the more I felt something was wrong. vfb Among those fragmented voices, there was actually Xihe Mandarin mixed in!

Could it be that there are still people from Xihe hiding in the martial arts academy?

I didn't expect that this rebellion was actually caused by the people of Xihe. It's really outrageous. There are these ignorant dogs everywhere.

I was so angry that I couldn't help but quicken my pace.

The courtyard of the Wu Academy is built in a very distinctive way. In the middle of the stacked teaching buildings is a huge garden with green trees in an orderly manner. In the middle of the garden, an artificial lake is dug with corridors, pavilions and rockery on the lake. If the lake had not frozen in winter, the scenery would definitely be more beautiful than Peking University's Weiming Lake.

The faint sound came from the lake.

I stood by the lake and listened attentively for a long time, and finally determined that the sound came from the bottom of the lake.

I looked at the frozen lake and couldn't help but fall into self-doubt.

Heizhu blew himself up to save me, and I lost my ability to see ghosts. Logically speaking, it is impossible for a living person to appear at the bottom of the lake, let alone chat.

Strange, it's really strange!

I stood by the lake for a long time, biting my fingers, and thinking. I really couldn't believe that there was a living person at the bottom of the lake, so I decided to go and investigate.

I slowly stretched out one leg and stepped onto the ice. The lake surface was frozen solid, but a little slippery. I saw no danger, so I stepped onto the ice with both legs. But before I took a few steps, I stumbled and fell to the ground with a loud bang. My butt was almost broken into pieces. I cried out in pain and couldn't get up for a long time.

I made such a loud noise that the patrolling officers couldn't have failed to hear it. While I was still shouting, a patrol team of about ten people came running towards me.

The team was led by one of Zhao Zhenyuan's deputy generals, named Zhang Jing.

Zhang Jingnian is about 30 years old, an orphan. He joined the army at the age of 16 and has been following the Zhao family army ever since. He was brought up by Zhao Zhenyuan and also taught martial arts by Zhao Zhenyuan. This kid has a very high level of comprehension and is smart. Although he is not tall and not strong enough, he wields a silver spear with great power, which pleases Zhao Zhenyuan very much. He is Zhao Zhenyuan's most capable deputy general.

Zhang Jing led a team of officers to the lakeside and saw a man rolling on the lake. He couldn't stand up for a long time. I looked like a bear rolling around in black clothes. Zhang Jing wanted to laugh, but when he thought that he was here to arrest people, not to laugh at them, he had to suppress his laughter and shouted, "Who are you? Why are you invading the martial arts academy?"

I lay on the ice, almost crying, "Brother, can you give me a hand? The ice is too slippery, I can't get out."

Zhang Jing glared at him and shouted, "Where did you come from, spy? How dare you talk nonsense? If you don't tell the truth, I will make you suffer!"

I fell so many times that I had no idea where the axe had gone. I glanced around and finally found that the axe had flown under the pavilion standing by the pond.

The pavilion had two legs standing on the edge of the pond, and the small axe was between the two legs of the pavilion.

I saw that Zhang Jing had no intention of saving me, so I lay on the ice and slid towards the pavilion little by little. It doesn't matter if you fall, but you can't lose your weapons, they can save your life.

Zhang Jing saw that I looked like I wanted to escape, so he pushed his feet hard and flew up into the air. He flew over me like an eagle, stretched out his hands and pulled me up, and with a whoosh I flew to the shore.

As soon as Zhang Jing's legs touched the ground, he threw me onto the snow, making me fall flat on my face.

I struggled to get up from the snow, spitting out the snow in my mouth, patting the snow off my body, and then said to Zhang Jing: "Brother, if you don't want to save me, it's fine, but you still abandon me like this. I won't bother with your rudeness. My axe is under the pavilion, can you help me pick it up?"

Zhang Jing looked at me like I was an idiot and said, "You spy, I'm going to take you back to the emperor to punish you, but you actually asked me to help you pick up the axe. Are you really stupid or just pretending to be stupid?"
