"You want revenge?"

Gou'er nodded seriously and held Ji Changying's hand with a pleading look.

He had already troubled his sister enough and really didn't want to cause her any more trouble.

What's more, he wants to avenge his mother!

For him, the martial arts school might be a good way out.

Ji Changying was silent for a while, then turned to look at the clerk: "Where is the martial arts school? Can we go and take a look first?"

The clerk nodded and said, "Let's make it clear first. Once you enter the martial arts school, you will be a soldier in this life, and a ghost in this life. Even if the sky falls, you cannot quit. Otherwise, you will be treated as a deserter. You will not be able to decide your own life or death."

Ji Changying turned her head and looked at the dog again, but unexpectedly he nodded firmly.

The clerk smiled with satisfaction at this: "Great! This kid has ambition! You'll see the martial arts school right after you exit the South City Gate. I'll issue you a certificate. Once you've made up your mind, just drop him off there and save you another trip."

Since the other party is determined, the clerk doesn't mind giving them some convenience.

After getting the certificate and stamping it, Ji Changying took the certificate and took the dog to the south of the city, analyzing the pros and cons to the dog along the way.

The dog was very determined to go.

"I hope you can calm down and think carefully. This is basically like signing a lifetime contract to sell yourself. You will never be free again."

The dog tugged at her hand to show that it was okay.

Ji Changying sighed and didn't try to persuade him anymore.

Less than two miles after leaving the south city gate, I saw in the distance a large empty courtyard surrounded by a wall, with guards at the gate.

Ji Changying walked closer and saw the big sign on the door: Martial Arts School.

The font is bold and murderous, and it looks familiar.

This seems to be Xie Siheng's handwriting?

As soon as she and her dog reached the door, they were stopped: "No outsiders are allowed to enter!"

Ji Changying took out the certificate issued by the county government and said, "This child may live here in the future. I brought him here to see the place."

The guards did not recognize the contents, but they recognized the county government seal.

After confirming that the seal was authentic, they let him go.

As soon as you enter the door, you will see an empty training ground filled with half-grown children, divided into several groups.

Some were learning horse riding, some were shooting arrows, and some were practicing with spears taller than a man.

"Lower your waist! Keep your feet steady! Exhale!"

Yingda looked at the group of little kids in front of him with a serious face.

Some children couldn't squat for so long and couldn't help wanting to relax. Yingda seemed to have eyes on the back of his head and shot the small stones in his hand.

"Ouch!"

The person who was hit fell to the ground.

"Get up and tie it up again! Next time, run ten laps around the training ground and come back to continue!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the children around could not help but tremble. The one on the ground quickly got up, gritted his teeth and stabbed again.

My legs were shaking like a sieve but I didn't dare to relax.

"Are you a teacher here now?" Ji Changying asked Yingyi in surprise.

He turned around and saw that it was Ji Changying. A smile appeared on his face and he bowed, "Miss Ji."

He turned around and said to the group of children with a stern face: "Take a quarter of an hour's rest!"

As soon as the words fell, all the children collapsed to the ground.

Ying frowned when he saw it, but didn't say anything else.

He took a few steps closer to Ji Changying. "We came here with the prince, and we have lessons every three days. This was originally an abandoned military training ground, but the prince later turned it into a place to take in these children. What brought you here?"

Ji Changying pointed at the dog on the side and said: "His situation is the same as these children. I rescued him from the grassland. He wanted to come here, so I brought him here to see it."

Yingyi glanced at Gou'er and a look of understanding flashed in his eyes: "The prince knows this place very well. If you have any questions, you can ask him."

"Where is he?"

“Follow me!”

Yingyi took Ji Changying to the temporary school opposite the training ground.

"The prince taught them the simple Thousand Character Classic and some numbers. If they are trained separately according to their talents, they may all be promising talents in the future..."

Before Yingyi could finish her words, she and Ji Changying saw Xie Siheng supporting his head with one hand in a church that could hold thirty people. His flawless face was full of boredom, and he looked lazily at five or six children fighting below.

"We've been fighting for so long and there's still no winner? You guys are truly the worst group of students I've ever taught!"

After hearing what the teacher said, the children below fought even more vigorously, all wanting to get rid of each other as quickly as possible.

Ji Changying curled the corner of his mouth: "Is there any talent that can be made?"

Ying Yi smiled awkwardly and walked forward to knock on the door frame: "Prince, Miss Ji is here."

Xie Siheng straightened up, looked at the children below, and coughed, "Stand still!"

I don’t know how he usually teaches, but when they heard his words, the group of children who were fighting fiercely immediately separated.

"We've been fighting for a long time with no clear winner. You're neither good at literature nor martial arts. Each of you will have ten large characters a day. Give them to me next time I come to class."

After Xie Siheng finished speaking, he stood up, dusted off the dust on his body, straightened his clothes, and then walked out leisurely.

After meeting, he took a look at Ji Changying before asking, "Why did you think of this place?"

Ji Changying said helplessly: "Send him over here to take a look. I want to ask about the situation here."

"Come with me."

Xie Siheng took her around the entire martial arts school.

On the way, Xie Siheng introduced the facilities here to her while chatting with her.

"I heard that you and Captain Kou went to the grassland again?"

"We did go, but our luck was a bit bad. They noticed us the last time, so they were prepared the last time we went. We were chased for several days before we finally escaped across the frozen river."

"I heard about it." Xie Siheng said helplessly.

In fact, he had heard a lot about Ji Changying during this period.

"I know something about this child's situation. Sending him here is a good choice."

Ji Changying nodded: "It depends on his wishes!"

"Every day here, we teach riding, archery, swords, spears, and sticks. Arithmetic and literacy are not required, as long as they know the basics. There are special people in the barracks to teach every day. When they find which one they are better at, they can choose to specialize in it."

"Free food and lodging, one day off per month, and eight hours of training every day."

Putting aside other things, along the way, Ji Changying saw that all the children were very strong, which showed that life here was pretty good.

The dog also became more determined to stay.

Xie Siheng frowned: "I will leave once the situation here stabilizes."

Ji Changying looked at him curiously: "Where are you going? Back to Liangzhou?"

"Maybe! Let's not talk about this anymore, let's go to the study! Last time I said I would draw that merchant, but I never had the time. Now that I'm here today, I might as well draw him!"
