Inside Shanyin Pass, the Prince of Huai'an, who had been there for several days, was ready to return to the capital.
As they walked out, Chu Tianxing said, "The elite troops I brought for you this time, leaving you with 600 men, are already the bare minimum I've set aside. You absolutely mustn't send them away carelessly."
Li Ruochen nodded silently. He knew that Chu Tianxing didn't care about the six hundred people, but rather that he was afraid that once he had more people, he would go out and vent the resentment he had been holding in.
But Li Ruochen also knew that no matter how much resentment he harbored, he couldn't so easily impose it on others, and they couldn't afford to start another war.
But deep down, he also felt a warmth in his heart. After all, his uncle Chu Tianxing had done everything he could, and these six hundred people were indeed extraordinary, just as he had said.
It should be noted that the thousands of men Chu Tianxing brought with him on this trip were all the most renowned elite troops of the Da Gan Dynasty, the Tiger and Leopard Legion.
Each and every one of them is a master capable of taking on ten men, and they are the last line of defense for the Great Gan Dynasty. They have always been dedicated to guarding the capital, and everything they use is of the highest quality, ensuring that there will be no mistakes whatsoever.
Of course, if the emperor hadn't said at the time of the trip that these thousands of people would be given directly to Chu Tianxing, Chu Tianxing would never have dared to keep this person.
Whether from the perspective of brothers or ruler and subject, since such an order has already been given, Chu Tianxing naturally understands the meaning behind it.
Chu Tianxing boarded his carriage, but Hua Ruocheng was not in a hurry. "Miss Li, it's not wrong for you to have your own ideas, but sometimes being too willful is probably not a good thing."
Li Ruochen's eyes flickered slightly. "Is there something Your Highness hasn't told me?"
“If Your Highness hadn’t said anything, I wouldn’t have presumptuously taken the liberty of doing so. But it’s time for Miss Li to start thinking about the future.”
After saying that, Hua Ruocheng also got into the carriage. Finally, Old Man Mu said, "You should have thoroughly understood what I taught you before. Continue to carefully study it in the days to come. There may be something else that you haven't figured out yet."
"Grandpa Mu, when you were teaching me, you didn't hold back anything, did you? Was there anything you didn't teach me?"
Old Man Mu stroked his beard and smiled, "Ah, you are good in every way, except that you are too smart. However, when I taught you, I did my best and held nothing back. But martial arts are ultimately more suitable for men."
The conversation between the two ended there. After seeing Chu Tianxing off, Li Ruochen turned back to his work on reforming the border.
The autumn wind is bleak, the tender green leaves have turned yellow and withered, and even the air is much colder, with gusts of cold wind blowing.
In such a remote place, the cold feels like it seeps into your bones; the northwest and southeast regions are probably the coldest places in the entire dynasty.
Qingyuan County happens to be located in the northwest, and although it is only the beginning of autumn, the chill in the air is already quite strong.
Ning Ye didn't go anywhere else today; instead, he appeared at the school.
Since other matters had come to an end, Ning Ye didn't have anything he absolutely had to do, so he simply became a teacher at the school.
What they teach is proper Chinese characters that have been simplified in various ways. Compared with the current characters, they are certainly very different. If they can be recognized by their own people but not by others, that would be a good thing.
Moreover, once you have a basic understanding, it is easier to teach. However, if no one can guide you through the basics, it will definitely be a time-consuming and laborious process to figure it out on your own.
Of course, in addition to these, Ningye will also teach some other things.
"Everyone should carefully observe why the lid of this kettle is lifted up after boiling. This is your homework for the next week. Only those who figure it out will receive a reward from me."
The children were very excited, after all, Ningye's reward was a whole bag of candy, which would be a great reward whether they took it home to share with their families or sold it to supplement their household income.
Moreover, compared to the rigid content in books, hands-on activities are more interesting for children.
Among the group of children, Zhang Zifeng was the smartest. "Brother Ning, we haven't even learned what you taught us before, and now you're teaching us new things. Isn't that a bit too fast?"
Ning Ye laughed and said, "Others haven't even learned it yet, but you've already figured it out in your little brain, and you're just not going to tell me!"
Zhang Zifeng said with a grin, "Brother Ning, I don't want the reward from last time. Can I exchange it for something else?"
The other children also looked at Ning Ye with longing expressions. It was clear that once this was opened, who knew what other demands they might make in the future.
However, Ning Ye was still willing to make a small exception for Zhang Zifeng.
"Alright, that's all for today's class. Everyone can go home now. It's getting late, so head home early and don't worry your families."
After leaving the school, Ning Ye went home with Zhang Zifeng.
Zhang Zifeng also has her own room, but it looks really messy, filled with all sorts of things, and looks more like a carpenter's room.
Ning Ye picked up the item on the table. It was the Rubik's Cube he had taken out earlier, but now Zhang Zifeng had recreated it exactly as it was, and it was made of pure wood.
When Ning Ye tried to rotate it, he found that apart from a little bit of stiffness, everything else was definitely fine, and the inside should have been perfectly restored.
Zhang Zifeng said happily, "Brother Ning, I did pretty well, right?"
Ning Ye exclaimed in amazement, "If I remember correctly, I didn't show you the internal structure, so how did you recreate it?"
Zhang Zifeng said proudly, "Although the Rubik's Cube I took out earlier wasn't completely disassembled, I managed to pry it open a little bit, see part of its structure, and then I figured it out myself."
Ning Ye's eyes were filled with surprise. After all, Zhang Zifeng was only ten years old this year. That's right, although Zhang Zifeng looked very young, she was already ten years old.
Even so, such hands-on ability, coupled with a clever little mind, far surpasses that of ordinary people.
