    Everyone walked through the mountain gate archway and saw the academy gate open. Two servant-looking boys were sweeping the door. They saw a group of men in red turbans coming forward with their hands on the hilts of their knives. They were so frightened that they screamed and lost their clothes.  The broom rolled and crawled and fled into the academy, shouting as he ran: "The long-haired thief is coming, the long-haired thief is coming."

    Zuo Zongtang didn't stop even after calling several times. He turned around to look at the murderous Taiping Army. He couldn't help but frown and said to Xiao Yungui: "King of the West, this is a scholarly land. You are afraid of entering with weapons of killing."  If something is wrong, it will frighten the students in the academy, so please ask the King of the West to let his subordinates wait outside." Then he looked at Hong Xuanjiao, and Zuo Zongtang hesitated.

    Hong Xuanjiao smiled and said: "Mr. Zuo, you still want to say that it is not convenient for us women to enter?"

    Zuo Zongtang coughed and said: "The Princess of the West is very knowledgeable, so there is no harm in going in, but the other subordinates of the Princess of the West" As he said that, he looked at the few female soldiers who followed Hong Xuanjiao, and said:  It means that female soldiers are best not to enter.

    Hong Xuanjiao frowned and said: "Mr. Zuo, what you said is wrong. Confucius himself also said that there is no distinction between teachings. Saints originally want to educate the world, but you reject people thousands of miles away, which is against the saints.  That¡¯s what I said.¡±

    Zuo Zongtang shook his head and said: "This is an elegant place for learned people. Your subordinates are illiterate and very rude. How can you understand the words of the saints? If there are any disrespectful words inside, wouldn't it be wrong?"  Did you collide with the sage?"

    As soon as these words came out, all the Taiping soldiers looked at each other angrily. Lin Fengxiang was furious, but he took a step forward and said angrily: "King Xi, Queen Xi Wang, there is no need to be polite to these corrupt Confucians. Originally, this is the land of Confucianism.  I don¡¯t want to go in yet, but today I have to look at the terrain, so I have to go in. What kind of shabby place is this? Do you think I¡¯m going in? Since Mr. Zuo said I¡¯m rude, I¡¯ll be rude for once today. Everyone has to go in. Who can  Don't let me in. If I'm pressed, I'll wait until the place is set on fire."

    Zuo Zongtang said angrily: "After all, you are just a group of robbers who don't know etiquette! Do you dare to step forward and try?"

    Xiao Yungui stood aside but did not speak. He just smiled lightly and was a spectator. Li Kaifang couldn't help but stepped forward and said loudly: "Mr. Zuo, after we enter the city, we will not do any harm to the people or indiscriminately kill them."  How can we be called robbers if we are one person, let alone plundering? How do we compare to those Qing demons who oppress the people? If the Qing demons want to go in, will you let them in? "

    Zuo Zongtang was speechless, and Li Kaifang then said loudly: "Is your academy in the south of the city inlaid with gold and silver? You are not even allowed to enter? If His Highness the King of the West hadn't taken more care of the city this time, otherwise an academy like yours would  We have always seen one place and destroyed another!"

    Zuo Zongtang really looked down on these long-haired thieves in his heart. He made a mistake and angered Lin, Li and others. He actually felt a little rude in his heart, but he was arrogant and unwilling to admit his mistakes. He looked at them with hatred at the moment.  Xiao Yungui, who was fine, said angrily: "I shouldn't have brought you here! King Xi, what do you say?"

    Xiao Yungui touched his nose and smiled slightly: "Mr. Zuo, I have never helped you with marriage. I have always treated you with courtesy, but your words just now were too hurtful. Just because I was rude, I even  Isn't this how you treat guests if you don't let them in? Besides, is this academy opened by Mr. Zuo?"

    Zuo Zongtang was speechless for a moment. He did not open this academy, but he thought that letting these vulgar and long-haired thieves break into the academy would inevitably damage the objects inside and frighten the students inside, so he stopped him.

    Xiao Yungui then smiled and said: "Mr. Zuo, since this academy does not belong to you, and the academy has an express agreement, we cannot let the Taiping Saint Soldiers and me in. We cannot let women in? Mr. Zuo, why do you stop me?"

    Zuo Zongtang was even more angry. The gates of Chengnan Academy were strict, but there was indeed no explicit rule saying that no hairy thieves were allowed to enter. This was just because when Chengnan Academy was rebuilt, there was no hairy riot yet. Zuo Zongtang said angrily:  "Even if there are no explicit rules, the Academy Chief here will not allow you to enter, otherwise I will ask the Chief to come out and tell you!"

    Xiao Yungui chuckled and said: "Mr. Zuo, please don't be too busy. Even if the academy chief comes in person, I still have something to say. Didn't your sage Kong say that it's a great pleasure to have friends come from far away. If this academy doesn't  Those who treat us as friends are our enemies, and we will never show mercy to our enemies."

    Zuo Zongtang pointed at Xiao Yungui and said blankly: "You, you" He was confused by Xiao Yungui's crooked reasoning, and for a moment he was at a loss for words.

    Xiao Yungui laughed and stepped forward, pulling Zuo Zongtang into the academy. As he walked, he said: "Let's go, Mr. Zuo, haven't you ever heard of a scholar meeting a soldier? Can you explain why? People in this academy only want to  If you don't look down on us brothers, nothing will happen."

    Hong Xuanjiao covered her mouth and laughed. It seems that someone like Xi Wang still wants to talk about these fallacies.Ma, just now I saw that he read the couplet wrongly, and said that this person has no knowledge at all. At this moment, it sounds like this person does not seem to have any knowledge. If he were to argue with Zuo Zongtang by citing scriptures, he would definitely not be able to argue with him. Xiao  Yungui's sword took a wrong turn, and Zuo Zongtang had no choice but to follow Xiao Yungui into the academy.  Hong Xuanjiao smiled and turned back to Lin Fengxiang, Li Kaifang and others: "The King of the West has taught this teacher a lesson for you. Don't be upset, everyone, it's more important to do business."

    Hearing what Hong Xuanjiao said, everyone turned from anger to joy. They shouted and followed Xiao Yungui and Hong Xuanjiao into the academy.

    The academy in the south of the city occupies a wide area, separated by walls and fences with three entrances and three exits. There are more than 20 buildings, residences and courtyards, and there are six rooms including a prison courtyard, a lecture hall, and a study room.  The front yard is wide and dotted with many famous flowers and trees. In the middle is a square paved with masonite slabs. On both sides are authentic handwritten stone tablets by famous figures from past dynasties. At the end of the square is the main hall of the academy, Lize Hall, with Zhengyi and Shengjing on the left and right.  , Jinde, Cuncheng, Juye, Mingdao Liuzhai, and then there are more than 80 endless bookstores.  Ten sceneries such as Nahu Lake, Yue Pavilion, Juanyun Pavilion, Suoyu Fang, Cai Ling Zhou, Yang Meng Xuan, and Forbidden Frog Pond are among them, and indeed there is a strong smell of books.

    I didn't see a single student or teacher here. I thought the two boys had shouted and everyone had run away. Xiao Yungui frowned. To be honest, he was really afraid of the smell of books. He thought of the books when he was studying in the past.  The thick textbook made him feel a little dizzy.  He steeled himself, turned around and said to Lin and Li: "Go and do your own thing. Remember to follow the fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth of the camp rules to restrain your subordinates. Don't let the intellectuals look down on you."  We mud-legged people.¡±

    Zuo Zongtang also heard what Xiao Yungui said. Xiao Yungui deliberately said it louder, as if he wanted him to hear it.  After hearing this, Zuo Zongtang's face froze slightly, he stepped forward and coughed lightly and asked: "May I ask the King of the West, what are the fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth of your army's camp rules?"

    Xiao Yungui snorted and said: "There are always ten rules in our camp. The fifth rule prohibits soldiers, men and women, from entering the countryside to make food, destroy civilian houses, plunder property, and raid medicinal material shops and prefecture and county offices. Sixth rule  Article 7: It is forbidden to seize and sell tea, porridge and rice as porters, and to steal the luggage of brothers in the army without concealing the truth. Article 7: It is forbidden to sleep in a shop on the way, which will delay the journey. You must contact each other before and after, and you must not  Get rid of the disciples. Article 8: The order is not to burn people's houses and to go out on the road and people's houses. Don't worry, once I give the order, my subordinates will obey it. They will not take the drinking water of the academy, nor will they destroy the houses here, let alone  They will not rob the finances, nor will they arrest the students of the academy to do work for us, nor will they stay or sleep in the academy, nor will they defecate anywhere in your academy!"

    Zuo Zongtang lowered his head slightly when he heard the words, and was speechless for a long time. The long-haired military regulations are really detailed. They are much better than those of the Qing army. If nothing else, they are not allowed to defecate in the open. Those Qiuba soldiers of the Qing army  They must not be able to do it. What I said just now was indeed inappropriate, and I felt a little regretful.  His face turned red and blue. After a while, he bowed and said deeply to Xiao Yungui: "King Xi, Zuo made a mistake just now. Please forgive me."

    Xiao Yungui shrugged his shoulders and said: "I don't care. I am originally from a mud-legged background. I am not engaged in production but only steal other people's food to eat. I am indeed a robber and a bandit. I don't care what others say about me. It's just that you should be right with what you said."  My subordinates will tell you."

    Zuo Zongtang's face became hot again. He was a scholar, but he did not produce anything and lived exclusively on the rice grown by farmers. Xiao Yungui meant that everyone was actually a bandit. He immediately said hum.  : "When the generals come back later, Zuo must apologize."

    Xiao Yungui was secretly happy in his heart. It was really not easy to make Zuo Zongtang submissive. He turned around and saw a plaque hanging under the eaves of the main hall of Lize Hall, with the four characters "Lize Fengchang" written in flying phoenixes on it.

    Zuo Zongtang stepped forward, looked at Hong Xuanjiao who was also looking up at the plaque, twirled his beard and said with a smile: "The Queen of the West is knowledgeable, I wonder if she can tell the origin of this plaque?"

    Hong Xuanjiao curled her lips and said, "This is the handwriting of Emperor Daoguang. It was given to the academy when the academy reopened in the second year of Daoguang's reign."

    Xiao Yungui frowned and said, "How do you know so much?

    Hong Xuanjiao smiled softly and said: "When I was a child, I followed a theater troupe to travel around the world. In fact, those who have been to Chengnan Academy know a lot about things here."

    Xiao Yungui and Zuo Zongtang both shook their heads. Neither of them believed Hong Xuanjiao's words. Not to mention how old Hong Xuanjiao was at that time, who told her so many allusions?  Even if someone explains it, she can never forget it. How can she still remember it so clearly after so many years?

    Xiao Yungui frowned and looked at Hong Xuanjiao, but when he saw her looking at him with a smile, he remembered how this little girl suddenly knew how to do civil affairs, and also rushed to catch up with him. There must be something wrong, so he thought about it.  Pull her forwardAsk around.

    As soon as I took a step, I heard several shouts from the corridor next to Lize Hall. Four or five Taiping Army officials ran away with their heads in arms. Behind them, four or five scholar-looking people were holding knives and shouting loudly.  He chased all the way out while shouting.

    Zuo Zongtang was stunned. Xiao Yungui snorted, slowly pulled out the long knife from his waist, and said coldly: "Mr. Zuo, this is the scholarly family and Lize Fengchang you mentioned. Are they scholars or students?"  Stooges and robbers? They were the ones who struck first, so don¡¯t blame me for being ruthless!"
