Li Chengxun and Li Yesi were in the group. When they transported grain to the north, they walked on the Ziwu Valley Plank Road!

When Liu Bang retreated to Hanzhong, he burned the plank road to paralyze Xiang Yu, and it was the Ziwu Road that burned! Later, Wang Mang ordered the Chisel Wu Road to be rebuilt and the Ziwu Pass was set up!

Speaking of these plank roads, natural dangers are very interesting. The ancient saying says that the plank roads reach thousands of miles, and they lead to Shu Han!

This plank road is the only way for military strategists to lead to Shu Han, so whenever there is a war, the plank road will inevitably be fought for!

The loser will burn the plank road to protect himself; if the attack seeks victory, the plank road will be rebuilt to connect Bashu during the Taiping period!

Just talk about the Ziwu Road, Liu Bang lived in Hanzhong and burned it! Later, Wang Mang ordered the restoration!

During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, Le Chi of the Western Wei rebelled and burned it to resist the suppression of the court! It was not until the Sui Dynasty that it was restored!

It is precisely because of the repeated burning and reconstruction of these wars that these plank roads have been diverted more than once!

This time, Li Chengxun and Li Yesi divided the work and cooperated. The two of them had a grain transport team of 15,000 yuan, one was in the front and the other was in the back!

Because the experience of thirty people had been lost when transporting grain on Jinhe Road, several young people cherished these lives very much. Even if Shu Road is a natural danger, it cannot be filled with human lives!

Maybe in the past, they would calculate the gains and losses when they encountered such a situation, because it would undoubtedly be worth it if they could lose hundreds of people with the grain transport team to save tens of thousands of people in the north!

But now they won’t. After spending several months with these people, they feel more and more simplicity and kindness. Any one of them sacrificed here will make people feel distressed!

Moreover, I have been in the academy for a year. Master Bai Fan once taught that human life cannot be measured by the number, and the life of one person is as precious as the life of ten thousand people!

Therefore, the young people did not urge to accelerate the transportation of grain on the plank road this time because they did not want to use their lives to fill the natural danger. Even though Shu Road officials and court officials were urging them, the few people did not change their original intention!

Li Yesi was older and nineteen years old, so he asked to walk in front of the team to make a way. Li Chengxun looked at his senior brother who was taking care of him, but knew that he couldn't resist, so he had to agree to leave behind!

On that day, everyone happened to walk to the famous dangerous place on Ziwu Road, Yaoling Pass, which is about 200 kilometers away from Chang'an!

Here is a dangerous road near the mountain that is several miles long, and below is the bottomless valley. The road is made of wide stone strips, but it is in the mountain stream, and the grain transport teams all carry trucks of goods. Although the magical artifact, wooden ox and horse, can be pushed on such roads with one person, the road is dangerous and slippery, and it is extremely difficult to ensure the safety of both people and goods!

Li Chengxun is fifteen years old this year. He has been practicing in Sichuan for two months. From a white scholar to accompaniment with the mountains and forests all day long, he has been burned into a dark and solid young man!

In order to reduce the burden on the grain transport team, 15-year-old Li Chengxun voluntarily carried thirty kilograms of grain all the way, without any tools, which not only exercises the body but also saves some food!

Beside him was a twenty-year-old man from Shu. He was not tall, strong and honest, but very talkative. He had never left the house since childhood and was full of curiosity about everything outside!

Along the way, his favorite thing was to listen to Li Chengxun introducing big cities, Chang'an, and Zhongnan Academy!

His name is Ma Jiulang, and he has many brothers and sisters in his family. He ranks ninth. It is said that his ancestors were Ma Chao, the general of the Three Kingdoms and Five Tigers!

"Brother Li San, I have never seen an official like you. My father said that officials are directing others to work, but you carry the food yourself. I can carry the dozens of kilograms of grain, but it is not easy to carry such a long mountain road every day! Are you really an official?" asked Ma Jiulang, who was pushing a wooden ox and a flowing horse.

Li Chengxun was stunned, yes! If I were the one I used to, I would definitely not have come here to endure hardships. After experiencing a year at Zhongnan Academy, I like to work with others very much!

"Haha, how could I be an official? I just lost my ancestors' embrace. I don't have an official position. I'm here to help me transport grain this time! As for the matter of carrying food, it's all taught by our master. I can do my best to be self-reliant!"

Ma Jiulang said enviously, "Haha, scholars are good. I can't understand what you say, but I think it sounds very nice!

I'm not stupid. Although you are not an official, judging from the way the official treats you, you are even better than the official!

Is your master? Is the dean of Zhongnan Academy you mentioned? Is he really as powerful as you said?"

Hearing this, Li Chengxun secretly praised Ma Jiulang for being so rough and meticulous. He told him a lot about the academy and his master Bai Fan's various deeds. Hearing this, little stars appeared in Ma Jiulang's eyes, and in the end he couldn't believe it!

But Li Chengxun knew clearly how eager this Shu man who had seen the outside world for the first time was to study and go to school like himself, because he often found out at night that Ma Jiulang always called the names of Zhongnan Academy and Bai Fan in his dreams!

Li Chengxun smiled and said, "Haha, that's right, it's the dean of Zhongnan Academy I told you. In the eyes of our students, Master is omnipotent. Any problem seems to have become simple for him, just like this severe drought in the north!

The master proposed to buy food from Shu. In order to solve the transportation problem, the master also took out the wooden ox and flowing horse designed by Zhuge Wuhou back then!

You see, our master was a scholar at first, but he also knew calligraphy, martial arts, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and craftsmanship skills. Even singing was a masterpiece of Chang'an. He even sang a great song for his wife, and was respected by the people of Chang'an as the saint of love!"

"Wow, so awesome?" Ma Jiulang said enviously, thinking to himself, it would be great if he had such a master!

"Hehe, Brother Jiu, do you also want to go to school in our academy? I would like to introduce you to me as a disciple?" Li Chengxun asked temptingly.

Ma Jiulang swallowed, his throat felt a little dry, and he asked in a low voice, "Really, really? I can do it too? No, you are all nobles to enter the academy to study. My Lao Jiu is a rough man in the mountains. It is definitely not possible, it is useless to waste your knowledge!"

After hearing this, Li Chengxun felt very uncomfortable. What a simple mountain citizen. "What did Brother Jiu say? Are you all born the same? There is no such thing as a waste of reading and learning. Master once said that sages passed on knowledge to let future generations learn!
