There is an unknown mountain stream in Xiaoqiu Mountain, which is different from the crescent moon lake next to the study. This lake is hidden in the mountains, and the water volume is very small. It can only be seen when there is a lot of rain in summer.

Li Sheng and Yang Nian lay on the edge of the mountain stream, put their bare feet by the water, and let the sound of water wash between their toes.

"You're not afraid that your clothes will get dirty." Li Sheng looked at the sky over the valley, and there was a cloud that lingered on.

Yang Nian closed his eyes, and said casually, "What am I afraid of, I'm afraid it's the little girls who are in charge of the laundry at home."

"How do you know about this place"

"I have experienced many battles." Yang Nian's mouth curled into a beautiful arc, "Once the meeting is not interesting, I will climb out of the wall and come here. It is so clean that even bugs are melodious."

"But I think the study is very good, and some people in it are really knowledgeable."

"Well, that's true, there are often some debates and so on, but these days, everyone has more relatives and nobles." Yang Nian turned his face to the side and looked at Li Sheng, "Guess why."

"Imperial examination."

Yang Nian turned around and smiled, "You're not that stupid."

"Why do you want to take the imperial examination? If you want to be an official, you are afraid that you will have no way?"

"Do you want to think about this? I am the son of the head of the Yang family, and I can only take an official career. My father is not the one who would let me go through the back door, except for the imperial examination." Yang Nian hesitated, "Otherwise you Help me see, how many times can I die on the battlefield?"

Li Sheng couldn't help laughing, "But you can still delay it for a few years."

"But after another three years of exams, I won't be a child prodigy." Yang Nian closed his eyes again, "A child prodigy."

Li Sheng was also silent. He sat up and looked at Yang Nian. Yang Nian and Yang Feng'er looked very similar, with an oval face and exquisitely polished facial features in proportion. Cheeks are bulging.Li Sheng was suddenly curious, so he stretched out his finger and poked it. Seeing that Yang Nian didn't respond, he picked up a lump of flesh with his two fingers and shook it.

Yang Nian opened his eyes suddenly, startling Li Sheng, Yang Nian turned around and held Li Sheng down with his whole body, "This is taught by the master! The tiger descends the mountain!"

Li Sheng didn't expect this move from him, but he reacted very quickly. He reached out his right hand to Yang Nian's armpit and scratched it. Yang Nian immediately burst into laughter and begged for mercy.

The two of them had played enough and returned to the state of lying still. At this moment, Yang Nian suddenly remembered his magic weapon, and quickly asked Li Sheng, "Li Sheng, are you bored?"

"Well, it's okay." Li Sheng spread his hands and relaxed.

Yang Nian took out a small wooden gadget from his pocket, unfolded it turned out to be a chess board, and unfastened his pockets on both sides, it turned out to be a chess piece.

"..." Li Sheng was dumbfounded, "Isn't it burdensome for you to take them all the time?"

"This chess board was made by the young master of the Lu family. It is very exquisite. It is only the size of a palm when closed. It is made of wood and very light." Yang Nian was proud. Nobody thinks about playing chess."

Li Sheng thought that he often led the guards on patrol and had seen a lot of thefts, but he was standing behind Yang Nian and didn't notice it at all - he could even do a good job as a thief.

Li Sheng hadn't played chess for many years, and after losing a few games in a row, he finally got familiar with the rules. Of course he knew that he was no match for Yang Nian, but he could still last a little longer in this game.

Yang Nian twirled the chess piece with two fingers, carefully watching Li Sheng's move.No matter how stupid you are at this time, you shouldn't throw yourself into a trap, it must be a trap.

Looking at Yang Nian's puzzled expression, Li Sheng finally felt a little bit of comfort to his self-esteem. His uncle taught him to put them to death and survive. The chess game is like a battlefield, and it is always useful to memorize so many tactics.

Yang Nian narrowed his eyes, and finally told him to find the flaw. He raised his eyes to look at Li Sheng, with a smile on his lips, "Your Majesty's move is really clever."

Li Sheng was stared at so suddenly, the top of his head went numb, and the little self-confidence in his heart disappeared.

Sure enough, Yang Nian saw it, dropped his hand, and relieved himself of his troubles.

Li Sheng was disheartened, and thought about whether he should play a rogue like he did when he was a child, overturn the chess table and leave, but he suddenly discovered that Yang Nian had revealed another flaw in his understanding of this trap!

Of course Yang Nian wasn't blind, he must be too complacent to make such a low-level mistake, he looked at Li Sheng nervously, feeling entangled in his heart.

Li Sheng raised his eyes and met Yang Nian's eyes. The two of them held each other for a while, and Li Sheng finally put down the pawn, "Ah, my only hope."

Li Sheng found another way to commit suicide.

Yang Nian breathed a sigh of relief, and comforted, "Your level is already very good."

"Stop playing," Li Sheng pointed to the sky, "It's getting dark, let's go back."

Yang Nian stood up, brushed the dirt off his front, "Look at the back," and turned around after speaking.

"Did you just roll?" Li Sheng looked at the mess on Yang Nian's back and hair, resigned himself to his fate and leaned over to help him clean it up, brushing away the floating mud and weeds along his hair.

"Li Sheng, look quickly," Yang Nian waved his hands back excitedly, calling out to Li Sheng.

The sky is not yet completely dark, and the edges are still a little red. A few paper lamps are floating in the air, not flying high, and you can clearly see the inscriptions on the thin paper covered with flames. It is probably a gathering of literati. activities in .

Only then did Li Sheng realize that Yang Nian was not considered short, but because Yang Nian was too thin, he even had to lower his chin to see Yang Nian's shining eyes.

"More and more." Yang Nian murmured.

"Floating down the mountain." Li Sheng pulled Yang Nian's sleeve and led him forward, "Look while going down the mountain."

Yang Nian didn't break free, and let Li Sheng lead him, willing to be a blind man who could only see the sky.

"Did you make a wish?" Yang Nian asked Li Sheng.

Li Sheng replied, "No, it may not be realized if it is promised."

"Let me make a wish for you. Li Sheng hopes that Yang Nian will be the number one in high school this year!" Yang Nian giggled, as if he had taken advantage of it.

Li Sheng had no choice but to shake Yang Nian hard, and pulled him back before Yang Nian collapsed, "Nonsense."

"Then make a promise for me!" Yang Nian wanted to push Li Sheng, but after trying a few times, he found that he couldn't push at all.

"Yang Nian hopes that Yang Nian will have a safe life and live to be a hundred years old!"

Hearing Li Sheng's shout, Yang Nian's face became hot, and he ran towards the city, alleviating his uneasiness, "The ones who run into the city later to buy candy cakes!"

Li Sheng woke up to the sound of the loud horns in the Forbidden Barracks, rubbed his temples, and saw a bruise on his wrist. He thought it might have been when he helped Yang Nian climb over the wall to enter the courtyard last night when he sent Yang Nian back.

The two of them wasted some time in the night market. When they arrived at Yang Nian's house, the main entrance of the mansion was closed, so they had to turn in from the backyard. Fall over.

Yang Nian was holding onto the wall with both hands, his body was hanging in the air, his face was flushed red, "Brother Cheng, I will never forget your great kindness!"

Before he finished speaking, Yang Nian disappeared, followed by a yell, but it didn't come from Yang Nian, but from the old housekeeper of Zhengyuan.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Li Sheng fled immediately.

……

I don't know if Yang Nian was punished or not, Li Sheng thought.

"My lord!" Song Xi rushed in, "Zhang Zhi and the others have been tied up, and they will be punished on the school grounds!"

"what?"
