Chapter 271 Heading to the Border
"That's all my experience inside the Black Tiger Demon Saint's belly."
In the hall, Ye Ru sat with many people. He spoke cautiously, afraid that they would see through his disguise.
"So it turns out that your literary talent helped you a lot. That was a close call."
Upon hearing Ye Ru's words, Grand Secretary Su, along with Prime Minister Wen and the others, wiped their sweat and spoke with solemn expressions.
They naturally had unwavering faith in the God of Literature, after all, it was connected to the common lifeline of all scholars, and the powerful energy it contained was something that even ten generations would probably not be able to fully explore.
The degree to which the star of literature shines determines how many scholars a country can produce.
"Lord Chen, how are you doing on the frontier? Have the demons done anything wrong?"
While everyone remained silent, Ye Ru turned his head and spoke to Chen Tianjian.
He was still somewhat worried about whether what the Ghost Scholar had said that day was true. If it was true, then Beiman Mountain would probably really fall. The power of the demon race was not something to be exaggerated. Back then, it took the combined strength of ten kingdoms to drive the demon race back then. If the demon race were to advance directly downwards, the Yanhuang Kingdom would definitely not be able to withstand it.
"No, it's just that demons often come to disturb my borders, but otherwise nothing much has happened. The only demon lord and the six demon emperors in those three camps haven't made a move, so I'm still holding back."
Chen Tianjian pondered for a moment, then said.
"Lord Chen, when the Ghost Scholar came to my Yingtian Academy that day, he said that the demon race had crossed the Jin Kingdom and wanted to besiege Beiman Mountain. Beiman Mountain is an excellent place for our Yanhuang Kingdom to guard the Jin Kingdom. Once Beiman Mountain is lost, no matter what, it will be a great loss to our Yanhuang Kingdom. You must pay more attention."
After thinking for a moment, Grand Scholar Su spoke cautiously.
"Is that so? It seems the demon race has established some kind of connection with the Jin Kingdom..."
Li Baiyuan was stunned for a moment, then took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.
"Yes, I will pay more attention to that area. Ye Anshou, how about it? Are you interested in taking a trip to my frontier? It would probably be very beneficial for your writing of frontier poems."
Chen Tianjian said with a smile, "If Ye Ru went to the frontier, with his intelligence and talent, he would probably wipe out three camps of the demon race in one fell swoop, severely damaging their strength."
"I?"
Ye Ru pointed to himself and said in astonishment.
"Your talent is comparable to that of an ordinary strategist. I'm planning to take down those three camps of the demon race. Would you be interested in lending me a hand?"
Chen Tianjian then explained.
“I think it’s a good idea. Generally speaking, military strategists go to the frontier for training. You have studied military strategy, so going to the frontier will not only help you consolidate your knowledge of military strategy, but also improve your understanding of frontier poetry.”
Li Baiyuan, the Minister of Literature, pondered for a moment, and then agreed.
"What should we do with the nursery rhymes?"
Ye Ru asked, his biggest worry right now was Su Tongyao. If the Ghost Scholar came, the first ones he would probably see were Tongyao and Xiaobai.
"Don't worry, your girlfriend is here, I'll teach her how to be se."
Yu Mengyang stood up and said, "A drop of kindness should be repaid with a spring of gratitude, let alone the fact that Ye Ru saved his life."
Upon hearing this, Ye Ru pondered for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said:
"Then it is as you gentlemen say."
"Well then, if you participate in the provincial examination, I will register you in a nearby city government office. In the end, you just need to take the exam there. After the exam, I will take you and Tong Yao to the capital to meet the Emperor!"
Chen Tianjian nodded and said.
"Then when do we set off?"
Ye Ru asked.
"Leave tomorrow. You've escaped from the jaws of death, so you should naturally tell your man. But once you enter the military camp, you must abide by its rules, or even I can't protect you."
Chen Tianjian gave his instructions.
"I know that military orders are absolute."
Ye Ru nodded:
"Then the student will take his leave."
"Well, you go first. Let's discuss how to cleanse those wicked scholars hiding in our Yanhuang Kingdom. These demons are far too aggressive, and we have no choice but to take action."
Chen Changfeng's eyes flashed, carrying a hint of murderous intent. It was clear that the demons' actions had thoroughly enraged the high-ranking officials of the Yanhuang Kingdom.
Leaving the hall, Ye Ru let out a breath, then walked through the narrow paths toward the schoolhouse.
Nursery rhymes.
Ye Ru pushed open the door. Su Tongyao and Xiaobai were playing, but they stopped when they saw Ye Ru.
"Young Master Ye Ru, you're back."
Su Tongyao hugged Ye Ru, who hesitated for a moment before saying:
"Well, I have to go to the frontier tomorrow, and I don't know when I'll be able to come back. I'm sorry, I can't be with you again."
"Ugh, I have to go out again..."
Upon hearing this, Su Tongyao's lips immediately pursed, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.
"I know I haven't been able to spend much time with you lately and that I've made you worry. However, humanity needs us to protect it together. When the nest is overturned, no egg remains unbroken."
With a long sigh of relief, Ye Ru patiently explained that he knew Su Tongyao had suffered a lot of grievances, and he wanted to stay by her side, but the greater good of humanity required them to do everything in their power to protect her.
"Although I am just a woman, I understand the advantages and disadvantages. I have only one request: to return safely."
Su Tongyao thought for a moment, and seemed a little sad, and said softly.
"Don't worry, I will definitely return safely. Once I become a scholar, I will marry you openly and honestly. When humanity is at peace, I will travel the world with you."
Ye Ru whispered his instructions.
"Ah."
Time flew by, and before we knew it, it was the next day.
At this moment, a large crowd gathered at the entrance of Yingtian Academy, with almost all the students present.
"Lord Chen, I've arrived."
While everyone was waiting for Ye Ru, the latter finally made his way through the crowd, took Su Tongyao's hand, and came before them.
"Chief Ye, are you ready?"
Chen Tianjian said with a smile.
"Ready, let's go."
Ye Rudao.
"Alright, the frontier will be tough, but the mountains and rivers there are exceptionally beautiful, which will allow you to experience the beauty of the frontier."
Chen Tianjian laughed heartily, then looked in a certain direction:
"Then let's go."
As soon as he finished speaking, he waved his sleeve, and a flying boat suddenly shot out from his sleeve, finally swelling up in the wind.
"Young Master Ye Ru, wait a minute. These clothes are sewn by me. You can wear them if it gets cold."
Su Tongyao took out a bundle and handed it to Ye Ru, which warmed his heart. He then hugged her tightly.
"Don't worry, I'll be back after the provincial examination."
"Ah."
"With a wife like this, what more could a husband ask for..."
Wen Xiang and the others watched this scene, stroked their beards, and said softly.
After a while, Ye Ru and the others boarded the flying boat, which slowly took off and sailed into the distance under everyone's watchful eyes.
Looking at the flying boat that had turned into a black dot, Su Tongyao couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness.
"Young Master Ye Ru... please come back safely..."
