Chapter 102 Dispersion
At this moment, they were at Yingtian Academy, still in the city. Qin Chaoyan and others boarded the carriage and set off together.
In preparation for this study tour, President Yuan specifically asked Emperor Qi for permission to have the Ministry of Works cast a batch of large carriages. Not only were the bodies of these carriages much stronger than ordinary carriages, they also had plenty of space inside and could accommodate dozens of people.
A small group sat in a carriage and it didn't seem crowded.
But this is not a precedent. Emperor Qi is the highest-ranking person in Qi, so it goes without saying. People like Prime Minister Pei and Prince Rong also travel in spacious carriages, which are of higher specifications than ordinary carriages and can even accommodate sleeping in them.
Teachers Qin Chaoyan and others walked in front, and the students followed one after another.
As soon as the people from the academy moved, Wei Chu and other people in charge of travel safety in the Dali Temple also followed.
The driver of each carriage had already been waiting in front of the carriage. There was a color mark on the window, and the color meant which team it belonged to.
The person in charge of driving the car for Qin Chaoyan's team was Jia San, whom Qin Chaoyan had met.
When Jia San saw Qin Chaoyan and the others coming over, he stood even straighter, his cheeks flushed with excitement, but his face was tanned, so the blush was hardly noticeable.
But the Dali Temple officials who stood in a row acting as coachmen, who were able to escort the carriages and be responsible for travel safety, were all top-notch experts in the Dali Temple. They worked in the Dali Temple and were as close as a family, so they knew each other well.
Except for Jia San who was so excited that he almost fainted when he saw the goddess really walking towards his carriage, everyone else was envious of Jia San's good luck. How could this guy be so lucky that he drew the red lot?
After Qin Chaoyan and others got on the carriage, the carriage moved forward under the gaze of everyone. Dean Yuan and others at the gate of the academy, as well as the elders who sent the students to the academy, all watched them leave with eager and worried eyes.
Today, the common people in the city generally knew that the students of Yingtian Academy were going out to study. When they saw the carriages coming from afar, they immediately began to avoid them.
The voices of passersby drifted into the carriage. "Yingtian Academy is indeed the best academy in Daqi. Even the study tour is so grand, with officials from the Dali Temple escorting them."
"That's right, but the most important thing is that this year, the goddess is serving in the academy, you know that?"
"Do you think the goddess is in the carriage?"
"She should be there. It would be nice if I could see the goddess. I only saw a little bit of her on the day she brought rain."
"How can a peasant like us peek into the face of a goddess?"
"The goddess won't look down on us. You know what she did in Longdong and what happened to the refugees outside the city. Don't say such things next time to tarnish the goddess's reputation!"
"That's it!"
Although there was a lot of noise outside, the inside of the car was unusually quiet. Qin Chaoyan looked at the three people from Mingli Academy who were standing a little distance away from her and pursed her lips slightly. However, this was still in the city, and it was normal to be a little reserved when they were not familiar with the school.
After leaving the city, the marching team stopped in a wilderness outside the city. This was also an unwritten rule of the Yingtian Academy's study tour.
The five teachers formed a small circle, with their respective students following not far behind them.
Old Master Qin Shen took the lead and said, "Brother Yuandao, Master Qin, Xiao Jiang, Master Jiang, what are your plans?"
Jiang Li said: "Mr. Tan, I plan to take the water route and lead them to experience the grandeur of the rivers and the beauty of the mountains and rivers."
Pei Ji and Qi Rui were in Jiang Li's team. After hearing that Master Jiang was going to take the water route, they looked at the other masters eagerly.
Qin Shen laughed loudly and said, "Not bad, not bad. Going far away on a boat will give you a different state of mind. I will go with you."
Jiang Li also smiled and said, "It is my honor to have Mr. Tan accompany me!"
In this way, eight children from the Qizhi School could travel together. Their eyes brightened a lot, and they looked at the remaining teachers together.
Jiang Yuandao stroked his beard and said, "I won't join you in the fun." He turned to look at his seven students and asked, "How about measuring the land of Daqi with my feet?"
Wei Wen and the others all bowed their hands, "We will follow the Master's arrangements."
Jiang Guangbai looked around. The two masters were going to travel by water, and he felt a little seasick. But he could still walk as long as Master Jiang Yuandao could.
In this academy, apart from Qin Chaoyan, the person Jiang Guangbai admired most was Master Jiang Yuandao.
He looked at Qin Chaoyan. Now they were the only two who had not made a decision. Among the masters, Jiang Yuandao was the oldest, followed by Master Qin Shen. Both of them were over 40 years old.
After that, it is Master Jiang Li, who is almost 35 this year. The youngest ones are Jiang Guangbai and Qin Chaoyan.
Now, Qin Shen and Master Jiang Li are traveling together. Jiang Guangbai is thinking whether he should travel with Master Jiang. At least he can help carry a package or something. If the students are tired, he can also help carry them.
However, he also wanted to team up with Qin Chaoyan, which made him so worried that his brows were almost knotted.
Qin Chaoyan asked, "I wonder which direction Mr. Jiang wants to go?"
"I thought I'd take them to the west first. There are many tribes there, which will surely give them a lot of knowledge."
"This is a bit regrettable," Qin Chaoyan said, "I plan to lead them to the north."
When Qi Cheng heard that they were going to the north, his eyes lit up and he clenched his fists excitedly.
Going to the north, then, would he be able to meet his father? Although he knew that it was unlikely to go to the northern border, and at most he could only go to a few small cities in the north, but as long as he could go to the north to take a look and understand the environment and conditions there, Qi Cheng would be satisfied.
In this way, Qin Chaoyan will go north, Qin Shen and Jiang Li will go south, and Jiang Yuandao will go west.
Jiang Guangbai gritted his teeth and said, "Mr. Jiang, can we go with you?"
Jiang Yuandao said cheerfully, "Of course."
The travel direction of the few people was decided. Before leaving, Qin Chaoyan gave each of them a jade pendant and told them to break it if they were in danger.
It was mainly for Mingli School and its teachers. She had already given it to the little people in Qizhi School.
People were not the kind of people who would be reluctant to leave or be sentimental. They said a few words to each other and then parted ways.
Master Qin Shen and Master Jiang Li's carriages went ahead and headed west to Guandukou.
Jiang Yuandao, Jiang Guangbai and their companions walked slowly westward, with the carriage following behind them, waiting for anyone of them who was tired to get in and rest.
There was a large group of people, but in a moment only a dozen of them were left.
"Let's go too," Qin Chaoyan said, "but we won't take the carriage, we'll take this."
Qin Chaoyan took out two flatbed carriages from the storage ring. Since he was going out to study, he naturally wanted to see the vast world. What a vast world he could see while sitting in a carriage.
