At night, the Feifeng Tower is brightly lit.

There are eloquent storytellers in the lobby, and the seats are full and the voices are buzzing.The second floor is an elegant seat with spacious seats, separated by splash-ink landscape screens on both sides.Cheng Qianren and Gu Xuejiang ordered food, Xu Ran leaned on the railing, condescendingly watching the excitement in the hall, and applauded along with it.

They were going to the Xishi tavern, but Cheng Qianren suddenly said "go to the south of the city for a drink, I'll treat you" when they were halfway there, and the group diverted to the south of the city and went to the Feifeng Tower with carved beams and painted buildings.

Cheng Qianren offered a tip as soon as he entered the door, and was led to the private seat on the second floor by the waiter.

Sit down and order wine first: "Three jars of green bamboo leaves. You can order the others."

Gu Xuejiang turned sideways and whispered: "What price do you want?"

"the best."

Gu Xuejiang coughed softly: "There are only three of us, we can't eat much, so don't be too extravagant..." Turning to the respectful guy, "How about this, three bowls of white jade rice, cold green red silk, and green snail shrimp , sesame tenderloin, fermented steamed duck, three cups of fish head tofu soup, gold silk jade jujube cake with sweet osmanthus clear dew for dim sum. There is also the bamboo leaf green that I ordered just now, and it should be served with a rough pottery plum branch bowl."

As the buddy remembered, he secretly said in his heart, "It's amazing, I met a connoisseur". This table is not only rich in meat and vegetable flavors, but also better for both refined and popular tastes. After serving the table, the color is also beautiful.

Just when Xu Ran came back: "What did you order? Do you have braised pork!"

Gu Xuejiang: "...for me, replace the steamed duck with fermented rice with braised pork."

The food is served quickly, the plate is exquisitely arranged, and the table is full of gold and jade delicacies.

The current Gu Xuejiang knows how to be particular about what she eats and is able to make do with everything she eats.

Cheng Qianren ate a few mouthfuls, but the food was tasteless, so he just focused on drinking.

The last time he came here was the day he was admitted to Nanyuan College, and he brought Zhu Liu to celebrate.Sitting in the lobby, drinking until the restaurant closes, getting very drunk.

Time has passed, and I don't know if it's because I became a practitioner for no reason, so I can't get drunk this time.

Of the three, only Xu Ran buried his head in the food and ate wildly: "Oh, this meat is so good!"

The portion is small, and Zhuliu makes a big pot every time, which is enough for me to add two bowls of rice.He reacted in time again, and didn't say the second half.Cheng San didn't want to mention Zhuliu again.

Can't help but think, if the matter falls on me, there is a sister who depends on each other.Even if it is finally decided to send it away, it will be delayed for ten days and a half months.Otherwise, where would I be willing?Then the more it dragged on, the more sad it became, and troubles arose.

Unexpectedly, Cheng San's determination in doing things is more ruthless than her sword skills.

Gu Xuejiang raised a wine bowl to invite Cheng Qianren: "What are your plans for the future?"

He was very afraid of hearing the other party say, Zhuliu is gone, and I can live my life casually.

Cheng Qianren drank it all in one gulp: "Don't rush to earn money, my boss gave me enough to spend. I started to practice, trying to figure out what happened to me. Now that the seal of my martial veins has been unlocked, I can't avoid coming to my door if I have any troubles." In the past. Always take precautions early."

Gu Er laughed: "Is it okay to learn to control coercion first? Otherwise, one day you will be unhappy, Xu Ran is fine, I will vomit blood first."

Xu Ran: "Don't be afraid, I'll block you... No, Cheng San is now in a higher realm than me, so you should just ask for more blessings."

Cheng Qianren said helplessly, "I will study hard."

It was the first time he faced the coercion of practitioners at the painting and calligraphy booth on a rainy night one month ago, and he was still an ordinary person.Last night, I met Song Juefei, who had completed Mahayana, and he only had the realm of Qi Refining.

Always feel the threat of terror beyond the ability to bear.

***

Zhong Tianyu sat in the main seat like stars holding the moon, with students from Chunbotai on his left and right hands, accompanied by five or six classmates of Cheng Qianren, led by Zhang Shengyi.

After drinking for three rounds, the atmosphere is just right.Zhong Tianyu said leisurely: "Everyone invited me to Feifeng Tower tonight, why?"

Someone said: "The autumn double court fight has already started to sign up. This year, I, Nanyuan, will be the host, so I can't be as bad as last year."

Others thought he was not straightforward enough: "We would like to ask, how is the situation at Beilan this year?"

Zhong Tianyu was a freshman, so he was not eligible to apply, but he was from the imperial capital and was well-informed, so someone asked him to inquire.The idea was initially opposed by local students in South Central.For example, Zhang Shengyi and others: "Bow your head and ask, it seems that we southerners are not as good as northerners."

His friends on the same team persuaded him: "Know yourself and know your enemy, you will win every battle, and if you know the details of your opponent early, you will have a greater chance of winning than other teams."

Nanyang and Huangdu, one south and one north, gathered the most talented and ambitious teenagers in the world.

In recent years, Nanyuan has lost repeatedly in the battle of the two courts, and it is shameful to say that, everyone is holding a sigh of relief.The students who signed up this time not only want to make their mark in Nanyuan, but also want to beat Beilan and get rid of the shame.

Just when there was a burst of applause in the hall, it turned out that the storyteller said something wonderful: "Fu Keji, who was born in Jiange, traveled away from the mountains, and joined Beilan College last year. He was only twenty-one, and he reached the state of concentration. Next, Let's talk about his battle for fame, the 'Night Battle at Huaijin Lake' four years ago!"

The young servant is holding a blue and white red bowl, begging for money for listening to books at the table.

Zhong Tianyu said disdainfully: "Tch, I dare to show off even if I hear it."

The people around him immediately made an attitude of listening attentively, which greatly benefited him: "It's not just concentration? When I left home, Fu Keji had already reached the sixth level of concentration. There is still half a year left, who knows how far he can break through. This year's Double Academy Fighting skills, he must be the strongest martial artist sent by Beilan."

The banquet was full of students from Chunbo Terrace and Nanshan Backyard. No one had surpassed Fu Keji and cared more about the essay test: "Such a person must team up with the strongest in the essay test. I don't know who it is..."

Zhong Tianyu: "I guess he will invite Qiu Bei together. Plus Yuan Shangqiu's younger brother, Yuan Xiasuo. It happens to be two essay testers."

Someone poured him tea: "Please elaborate."

"Although Qiu Bei is a practitioner, his mind is all about making one. He worshiped two masters successively, Master Xuan Yi, a craftsman in Cangshan Mountain, and Mr. Mei, a master foundry in the imperial palace. He is knowledgeable, knowledgeable in astronomy and geography Yuan Xiasuo is also a practitioner, especially proficient in arithmetic and deduction. He likes to play chess. Last year he won the "Kaleidoscopic Ghost Hand Zhang". Chess, I don't know whether to win or lose..."

Zhong Tianyu spoke happily and eloquently, and the people from all walks of life in Beilan are familiar with each other.

Everyone weighed in their hearts, what kind of training is needed to make it into the top [-], and to what extent, they found that the opponent was very strong and the time was tight.The same idea came up again: If you don't want to stop at [-] and want to compete for the top three, I am afraid that the only way to win is to have the team of 'Nanshan No. [-]' Lin Duzhi.

Only two private rooms away from them, there are three people who are full of wine and food.

Cheng Qianren barely touched the food, and after drinking two jars of Zhuyeqing by himself, his eyes were still clear.

Gu Xuejiang listened to the storyteller's nonsense, and said with a smile: "Let's go when we're full."

Xu Ran pointed at the hall: "We're talking about the most important part, the battle at Huaijin Lake at night, let me finish listening..." Suddenly, he reacted: "Huaijin Lake? Your lake! Lake Lord, do you know about this? Tell us about it."

Gu Xuejiang rubbed her nose: "There's nothing to talk about."

Xu Ran looked at him expectantly.Even Cheng Qianren showed curiosity.

Gu Xuejiang thought to herself, Cheng San was in a depressed mood tonight, and the reason why he said to let him control the coercion just now was to tease him.Talking about old things by himself might make him happier.

"Four years ago, Fu Keji just came to the imperial capital, and he was sick here." Gu Er pointed to his head, "Yuan Shangqiu is also sick. Both of them use swords, and they don't like each other. Midsummer and June night, they insist on imitating the sages. , come to Huaijin Lake to compete. Please let me stand aside and be a witness."

"Fu Keji destroyed half of the lotus flowers in the lake, and Yuan Shangqiu disturbed the girls on the boat. I scolded Yuan Shangqiu, but when he became crazy, he beat me too. I was young and vigorous at that time, and I thought you had the guts to dare to be here Huaijin Lake hit me, you were the first."

Xu Ran asked: "And then?"

"Then I teamed up with Fu Keji, pushed him into the lake, let him drink some water, and wake up his mind."

Xu Ran: "You two fight one?!"

The storyteller: "Two young men in white clothes flew by with lotuses, sword lights intertwined and danced, and the fragrance of lotus filled their sleeves."

Gu Xuejiang: "Yuan Shangqiu broke free from the two of us, got up desperately, spit out a mouthful of mud, and spit it directly on Fu Keji."

Mr. Storyteller: "I saw mist, flowers and rain on the lake, falling one after another, reflecting the lantern cruise boats, as if in a dream."

Gu Xuejiang: "Yuan Shangqiu didn't finish vomiting the mud, and then vomited at me again. I was on guard, and turned sideways... Then we didn't know why, and we started throwing mud at each other."

Xu Ran: "..." I don't know why.

Gu Xuejiang: "It's what you want to hear."

The hall cheered enthusiastically and applauded.The private room on the second floor was gloomy.

Cheng Qianren also felt sorry for Xu Da, wouldn't it be good to live in a dream?
