Lumen Academy is located at the foot of Lumen Mountain in Longzhong. It is surrounded by beautiful mountains and rivers and beautiful scenery. Lumen Academy is built along the mountain and layered up, occupying almost half of the eastern foothills. Lumen Academy is the largest private residence in Jingzhou. It is second only to Xiangyang officials in Jingzhou. It has more than four disciples, born from all over the world, and is one of the young talents.

Lumen Academy was run by Pang De Gong, the head of the Pang family. It belonged to the private business of the Pang family. It was originally Pang's private business, but because Pang De Gong's reputation spread throughout the world and the northern aristocratic families who escaped from war gathered in Jingzhou, Lumen Academy crossed the threshold of the family in one fell swoop and became a world-famous private residence.

Young celebrities such as Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, Xu Shu, Cui Zhouping, Shi Guangyuan, and other officials, as well as Liu Qi, Kuai Qi, Huang She, Ma Liang, etc., also studied at Lumen Academy, making Lumen Academy full of talents and has become the base camp for the gathering of Jingzhou and northern gentry.

That morning, Liu Jing brought the young Deng Ai to Lumen Academy. Today is also the day when Huang Chengyan treats, and Liu Jing also received an invitation. However, Huang Chengyan treats him in the afternoon, and Liu Jing takes advantage of the morning to send Deng Ai to Lumen Academy.

Deng Ai's father died and was immersed in grief. Today, he was removed from his filial piety clothes because he wanted to become a disciple. However, he was still wearing a robe with fine white numbness and even his shoes were white on and on white. He sat in Tao Zhan's carriage, lowered his head, and never said a word.

Tao Zhan also wants to attend the Huang family banquet today, but as the representative of the Tao family, her grandfather was an official in Nanyang and had some friendship with Huang Chengyan. Huang Chengyan specially sent an invitation to Tao Li, but Tao Zhan asked him to come over. How could she not participate in such an interesting thing today?

In the carriage, Tao Zhan looked at the child who had lost his father lovingly. She also had a little brother, about the same age as Deng Ai. Deng Ai's grief reminded her of her young brother.

"You can study in Lumen Academy with peace of mind."

Tao Zhan comforted him softly, "I will arrange all the expenses required for reading, as well as your mother's living and accommodation for you. Don't worry about these things. Reading the book well means repaying your mother's kindness for raising her, and giving her father a sigh of relief, and he can rest in peace in the underworld."

Deng Ai was moved. He wiped away the tears in his eyes and whispered: "Thank you sister. Deng Ai will definitely study hard and will not disappoint his father."

At this time, the carriage stopped. Tao Zhan looked out the window and smiled: "We're here."

When the car door opened, Liu Jing reached out and carried Deng Ai off the carriage, and handed his arm to Tao Zhan. Tao Zhan smiled, held his arm, and slowly walked off the carriage.

"How is he?" Liu Jing asked in her ear.

"He is very eager to study, hey, this kid is really heartbreaking."

Liu Jing knew that Tao Zhan was only fifteen years old, so he said such words from his grandmother. He couldn't help laughing. Tao Zhan's face turned red and he gave him a blank look, "Why are you laughing at?"

"nothing"

Liu Jing quickly held back his smile, held Deng Ai's hand, walked towards the gate of the academy, and carefully reminded him, "Not only should you respect the master, but even the head of the same school should ask for advice humbly and not be discarded."

"Thank you uncle, Deng Ai remembers it."

Tao Zhan next to him couldn't help but correct him: "Xiao Ai, you call him uncle, but you call me sister. Is the seniority a little wrong?"

Deng Ai scratched his head, "This is what my father asked me to call."

"You can call my uncle too, too," Liu Jing said to Tao Zhan with a smile.

"Beautiful thinking"

Tao Zhan glared at him, thinking that Deng Ai called him aunt was not suitable, so he had to say helplessly: "Forget it, everyone will call him."

She remembered something again. She just heard Deng Ai say that Liu Jing participated in the Battle of Xinye not long ago and was injured. She didn't know at all. She glanced at the back of Liu Jing's head and saw a corner of white gauze under his hat. She couldn't help but wonder why he didn't tell herself about this. Is it because in his heart that she is still an outsider, so she doesn't want to let herself know.

Thinking of this, Tao Zhan felt a little disappointed. His mood, who was in good mood, was disturbed by this incident.

The man walked to Lumen Academy and informed him that the doorman had known in advance, so he immediately led them in. Tao Zhan was a woman and was inconvenient to enter, so he stood outside the gate and waited.

Lumen Academy is magnificent and has many buildings. It is layer by layer along the mountain. Liu Jing felt that Deng Ai was a little nervous and comforted him with a smile, "Don't worry, they are all scholars. I heard that Mr. Pang Degong is very kind and will definitely treat you well."

Deng Ai nodded, speeded up, walked to the backyard, and came out to the two of them, one tall and the other short. The tall one was eight feet tall, fair skin, and a heroic appearance. It was Zhuge Liang, but the short one had thick eyebrows and nose, black face and short beard, with a somewhat ugly appearance. He was about the early twenties.

However, Liu Jing did not expect to meet Zhuge Liang here, and quickly bowed and smiled, "Brother Kong Ming, don't be fine."

"It turned out to be Duke Jing."

Zhuge Liang quickly replied with a tribute and said, "How could he come to Lumen Academy today?"

"Today I am bringing a nephew to become a disciple."

Zhuge Liang then remembered that he had not introduced Liu Jing, and pulled the man to introduce him with a smile: "This is my close friend, my master's nephew Pang Shiyuan."

It turned out that this person was Feng Chu Pang Tong. Liu Jing was solemn and bowed and said, "Liu Jing in Xiangyang has heard of Feng Chu's name for a long time. I saw him today and I was lucky."

"You're welcome, I've heard of Gong Jing for a long time."

Pang Tong had no interest in an official brother like Liu Jing. He bowed and bowed and took Deng Ai's hand and said softly: "You are Deng Wuzhi, are Deng Ai?"

Seeing that although he was ugly, Deng Ai smiled but looked very friendly, he nodded, "I am."

"Come with me, Master is waiting for you."

He held Deng Ai's hand and said to Liu Jing: "Mr. Jing, then take him in first."

"Wait a minute"

Liu Jing called Pang Tong, and he walked to Deng Ai to squat down, tidied up his bun, took out the white dragon short sword from his waist, and handed it to him, "This sword is called the white dragon, it is something my father left to me, and I will give it to you now."

Deng Ai took the short sword and nodded silently. Liu Jing stroked his head and looked at his eyes and said, "Your father is a hero who stands tall and strong. I hope you can be proud of him. If anyone dares to insult your father, he will kill him with this sword."

Pang Tong's face changed slightly, and there was an expression of displeasure on his face. He held Deng Ai's hand and said, "Let's go."

Liu Jing stood up, patted Deng Ai on the shoulder, and smiled and said, "Go."

Pang Tong obviously didn't want Liu Jing to go in with him. He held Deng Ai's hand and walked quickly to the inner courtyard. Deng Ai kept looking back at Liu Jing. He suddenly shouted: "Father and uncle are both heroes who stand tall and upright, and they are all children's pride. I will not let you down."

Liu Jing waved goodbye to him, and watched his back gradually disappear, and couldn't help but sigh, hoping that Deng Ai could achieve something and become a talented man with both martial arts as in history.

"Donald Jing is going to attend Mr. Huang's family dinner today?" Zhuge Liang asked with a smile.

Liu Jing's heart was thunderous, and then he suddenly remembered that Zhuge Liang was the protagonist of the Huang Family Banquet today. However, after hearing his tone, he seemed to have no idea about that. Liu Jing turned his mind back and asked tentatively: "Brother Kong Ming is going to go today, too."

Zhuge Liang nodded, "Yuanzhi and Zhouping have lived at my house these two days, and we will go with them in the afternoon."

With these two people resisting each other, Liu Jing felt relieved and smiled slightly, "I'm going there too in the afternoon."

While talking, the two walked to the gate of the academy, and Zhuge Liang bowed and bowed, "I'll go back to change my clothes first, see you in the afternoon."

After saying that, he shook his sleeves and floated away. Tao Zhan walked up next to him slowly, looked at Zhuge Liang's back, and covered his mouth and smiled: "I'm looking forward to seeing his performance in the afternoon."

"Me too"

The two looked at each other and smiled in a sympathetic way. Liu Jing was in great interest and pointed to Longzhong Town in the distance, "Let's go have a glass of wine."

...........

It has been a few months since I came to Longzhong last time. There has been almost no change in Longzhong Town. The dilapidated shops and listless bartenders are almost noon. Several taverns are filled with taxis. From Xiangyang City to Huang Chengyan's mansion, Longzhong Town is a must.

"Master, let's go to that house"

Tao Zhan pointed to the tavern made of bamboo in front. Although it was a bit old, it had a bit more elegant taste than other taverns. Liu Jing remembered that this tavern was called Qingzhuzhai, which was just like wine and food, but other restaurants were not much better.

"Just this one"

Liu Jing turned over and got off the horse, stepped forward and opened the car door, but this time Tao Zhan refused to help him get out of the car. There were a large group of young men standing in the tavern, debating which tavern to go to.

Suddenly, the debate disappeared, and a group of people stared at Tao Zhan with wide eyes, all of whom were amazed at her beauty. Tao Zhan’s pretty face turned slightly red, and he secretly regretted that he should have brought the hood out.

In front of everyone, Tao Zhan was embarrassed to hold Liu Jing's arm, held the edge and got off the carriage, and smiled apologetically at Liu Jing.

At this time, a bartender greeted him, "Two distinguished guests, there are relatively quiet seats on the second floor, please come with me."

The first floor was filled with drinkers, with a spirit and spirit, and a swaying spirit, and drowning in the world. But when Tao Zhan walked in, the lobby suddenly became silent.

All eyes were staring at her. She was wearing a long dress, as white as clouds, with crystal clear skin as fat, thin eyebrows as dark as black, and her eyes were filled with autumn waves. She walked gracefully, like a fairy descending to earth.

But the young man beside her was tall and tall, wearing a military uniform, holding a sword in his hand, with a bit of murderous aura, which made many scholars sigh in their hearts, "You are a beautiful woman, why are you a thief?"

Tao Zhan felt uncomfortable by the eyes of many eyes, but with Liu Jing beside her, there was an invisible force protecting her, which made her feel a sense of dependence and a little relieved.

The second floor was full of guests. There were indeed two empty seats by the window, which happened to be two seats. At this time, Liu Jing's eyes turned to the corner. There were more than a dozen sword-bearing guards standing in the corner. He looked familiar. The people on the seat also saw him, stood up and shouted: "Brother Jing"
