Hongji had already stepped down from the flower building, and this alluring dance kicked off the curtain of the morning flower festival. Around the flower building, performances began one after another. Fighting in the arena...

Behind the crowd, the young man slid the gleaming sword back into its scabbard and turned around to leave, when several people appeared in front of him.

An old man walked out from among them, "Young Master, the Chaohua Fair is not over yet, please wait a little longer." He paused, "Don't meddle in such nosy things from now on."

"This is nothing to me!" Shao Huaiyu was slightly angry, "Uncle Yuan, do you suspect that I am not capable enough?"

The old man was Uncle Yuan in the youth's mouth. Jiang Yuan bowed his head slightly and respectfully said: "I believe in the young master's ability, but this is the owner's intention. We are also following orders, and I hope the young master will not embarrass the younger ones."

Shao Huaiyu looked at them. The old man lowered his head and remained motionless. After a few breaths, he turned and walked back. The old man beckoned for the people behind to follow. He knew that Shao Huaiyu had compromised.

Zhou Min was dragged to a restaurant by Nangong Jinqiao and the others. Seeing Nangong Jinqiao, the waiter greeted them warmly immediately, and led them to a window with a wide view, which happened to be able to see the front of Hualou.After a while, the food and wine were served on the table.

At this time, two tables were brought out in front of the flower building, and there were stacks of notes and pens and ink on the tables. Many people gathered around the table and wrote quickly, and handed the small notes to the person behind the table after writing.

Nangong Jinqiao followed Zhou Min's gaze and looked out the window, "Try?" she asked.

Zhou Min turned to look at her, not understanding what she was talking about.

Jinqiao pointed to the downstairs.

Mi'er leaned over to look, and said with a smile, "Let's each write one." Without giving anyone a chance to refuse, she called Xiao Er to get a pen and paper.

Xiao Er took the pen and paper and said, "Call me to collect it when it's finished."

After thanking Xiao Er, several people each took a note. Zhou Min lowered his eyes slightly and did not move. After a while, he took a note, thought for a while and wrote with a pen, "Xinxiang is full of sleeves, and the road is far away. Of".

After collecting the paper slips, while waiting for the collection, pots of delicate and beautiful flowers were carried one after another on the flower building. The flower stand is next to the edge, and the people downstairs can see clearly. This is the highlight of tonight. start.

Nangong Yu'er stepped forward and announced: Invite young talents from the three aristocratic families of Jinhe, Lu family, Lifeng Yun family, and Yancheng Shao family to announce the top three.

There was a lot of noise below, and there were many young girls who were extremely shy for a while.

"This morning flower festival..." Yu Siyi said lightly, resting her chin, "It's really a good show for each other."

Three weak-aged youths walked up to the flower building, and Nangong Yu'er made some introductions: Lu Tong, the youngest son of the head of the Lu family, ranked second, Yun Musheng, the nephew of the head of the Yun family, and Shao Huaiyu. ——The head of the Shao family is the eldest son.

As soon as the three of them appeared in the surrounding crowd, there were big and small discussions. The three of them were not without a bit of fame, at least they were all famous figures in the sphere of influence of their respective families, both civil and military, and excellent character.The appearance at the Chaohua Festival this time can be regarded as a new generation of talents recognized by the family.

Zhou Min was momentarily stunned when he saw Shao Huaiyu.

Seeing him staring at the flower building in a daze, Nangong Jinqiao asked him, "Do you know them?"

Zhou Min smiled very politely, "I've never seen it before, they just saw that how could a child from an aristocratic family have anything to do with someone like me."

Nangong Jinqiao didn't take it seriously, "You are too self-deprecating. Why are you from a small family? You might not be as good as you if you leave the family. People still have to look at their hearts." He said and smiled at Zhou Min, "It's like you don't care when you see a child in danger. Standing up is stronger than too many people."

Hearing this, Zhou Min looked towards Nangong Jinqiao, seeing the seriousness in her eyes that could not be expressed for a moment, he opened his mouth and closed it again.

Mi'er and Bao'er heard teasing them from the side, "Jin'er said so, Mr. Zhou must be a good person."

Zhou Min lowered his head, Nangong Jinqiao was amused to see him like this, "Stop talking nonsense, you two."

The two made faces at her, and the three of them laughed again.

Zhou Min silently poured himself a glass of wine and drank it all down. As a result, a spicy smell hit his head. He rarely drank alcohol, but he didn't expect this wine to be so strong. He covered his mouth with his hand and coughed continuously. The three sisters looked at him and laughed. With a loud noise, he almost wanted to find a crack in the ground to get in.

The winner was announced above the flower building, and Lu Tong announced No.3: "Nongyu is light, Feiqiong is light and muddy, sock dust steps down the lost building, - the mystery of Zhuoyangtang Qionghua."

No.2 announced by Yun Mucheng: "Nongyu is light, Feiqiong is light and muddy, and the socks are dusty when walking down the labyrinth,—Xi Wei (wei) sent Ciling Peony."

Shao Huaiyu announced the leader: "The fragrance is full of sleeves, and the road is far away. It's the long calyx of the Danshan sect."

Zhou Min looked up and was very surprised. He didn't expect to use this line written by him. After all, this line of poem didn't refer to any kind of flower in particular, but it was about nostalgia.

Regardless of whether everyone's thoughts are on it or not, the oiran evaluation will soon be over.Then came the happiest moment for everyone, and the suspended performance continued.

Lu Tong, Yun Musheng, and Shao Huaiyu were surrounded by a group of girls as soon as they got off the Hualou, and the three of them looked at each other with blank faces.

Standing in the shadow of a high-rise building in the distance, there is a figure standing under the shadow of a tall building. The whole body is wrapped in a black robe, only revealing a pair of eagle eyes. His eyes are sharp and energetic. Looking at the three people surrounded by him below, his eyes are full of sarcasm, "Hypocritical!"

The three of them refused to drop the handkerchiefs, sachets, tassels and other gifts that were brought up, shouting "excuse me" and squeezed out of the crowd. As soon as they squeezed out of a circle, another group surrounded them, it was endless.

Lu Tong, the youngest of the three, gritted his teeth and said, "You guys think of a way?"

While blocking those hands that wanted to touch him, Yun Mucheng said, "If I have a way, I'm still waiting here?"

Shao Huaiyu stood between the two of them with his sword in his arms. He was the least miserable of the three. He was tall and had a waist like a monkey's arm, and the momentum of the punch could scare away many people.

With his arms folded, he flicked his fingers back from the hand that wanted to attack his waist, and said slowly, "I have a way."

Lu Tong and Yun Mucheng hurriedly said, "Then why don't you talk about it quickly."

Shao Huaiyu shook his sword and compared it to the ring next to him.

The two of them immediately understood what he meant, and immediately said loudly to the surrounding crowd: "I want to go to the arena to compete in martial arts, but the girls can make it easier for me, how about letting go?"

The girls burst into screams, "Yes, yes!"

"The martial arts skills of the three young masters are superb, it must be exciting to compete!"

"Go quickly, we will cheer for you!"

……

All of a sudden, there was an empty path in front of the three of them in the direction of the ring.

Three people: "..."

The three of them drove the ducks to the shelves and walked towards the ring, discussing in low voices as they walked, Lu Tong said: "Are we really fighting?"

Now that it's all like this, Yun Mucheng doesn't care anymore, "Just fight, let's treat it as a competition." He touched his chin as he spoke, "Speaking of which, the three of us haven't really competed yet, so it's rare to have this opportunity."

Shao Huaiyu glanced out of the crowd, Uncle Yuan smiled at him, he slowly looked away, and tightened his sword hand.

Originally, there were two people in the arena who were competing. When they saw that the three said they were going to compete in martial arts, they looked at each other, and one of them slapped him. The other fell out of the ring without touching the corner of his clothes, and the competition ended.

The three people below: "..." Can you be a little more fake?

The man on the ring jumped down after bowing to the three of them, standing aside and watching them with great interest.

Lu Tong moved his neck, "Then come on, which one of us will go first?"

Shao Huaiyu raised his chin towards them, "Go ahead."

Yun Mucheng smiled and said, "Then...Brother Lu, please!" He raised his hand as a gesture of invitation.

Lu Tong stepped onto the ring lightly, without any exaggerated posture, standing in the center and looking at Yun Mucheng.Yun Mucheng jumped up directly, stood opposite him, the two bowed, and each took three steps back to start.

The Jin and Lu families are a large family in the north. Their martial arts are characterized by "shadows". They are good at assassination, and their close combat ability is as strong as a shadow. Every move is not fancy and simple, but they are all fierce killing moves. The main weapon is daggers. , after being close, the defeat is basically set.

The Lifengyun family in the middle is famous for its wealth, and its martial arts are considered the weakest among the three major families, and all the children of the family have practiced ordinary sword skills.

At the end of the competition, Lu Tong won without any suspense. He put the dagger on Yun Mucheng's waist from an invisible angle and ended it.Loud cheers erupted from the audience, and some people from the Lu family were even more delighted, looking at their second young master and You Rongyan.

The two looked at each other and smiled, Yun Mucheng was convinced that he lost, he would have been defeated in a few moves, but Lu Tong insisted on fighting him with dozens of moves, and he didn't let him lose too badly, he knew that the other party intended to defend him face.

Yun Mucheng always thought that no matter how good his martial arts were, he could rank among the top three masters in the martial arts world, and he could be regarded as the best among the juniors today. Today, he had a competition with Lu Tong, and it was obvious that their martial arts were not at the same level at all.Lu Tong's martial arts has at least reached the ranks of first-class masters, and the opponent is two years younger than him. This kind of martial arts talent will become a great weapon in the future, and it is not impossible to reach the god level.

Yun Mucheng didn't feel sorry for himself either, after all, most of his family liked money, martial arts were enough to protect themselves, and they didn't have the heart to pursue the Dao.He jumped off the ring and replaced Shao Huaiyu.

Shao Huaiyu was already eager to try, but he didn't expect that this unintentional contest would let him meet such a master, and his heart was full of fighting spirit.

A dense circle of people surrounded the arena. There has been no conclusion in the arena as to who is better in martial arts between the Lu family and the Shao family. It is a rare opportunity to see the competition between the two heirs.

Shao's family has a sword, and the sword is the king of soldiers and the gentleman of weapons.Among the many sects and families who use swords, the Shao family can be regarded as the one who uses the sword as a gentleman most appropriately. Only those who are fighting can understand the murderous aura in it.

Yu Siyi was leaning against the window, enjoying watching a play, but after seeing the two of them fighting, he became more subtle. He always felt that Shao Huaiyu's martial arts were familiar.

The martial arts of the two can be said to be on par, and the crowd below cheered from time to time. It is rare to see two first-class masters in a martial arts competition. Whether they understand it or not, they just follow along.

In the arena, the two had gone through hundreds of tricks and they still hadn't decided the winner. Leng Lianyue suddenly said: "I will lose."

"Huh?" Yu Siyi didn't know why, "Who?"

Leng Lianyue said: "Didn't you just look at that member of the Lu family?"

Yu Siyi paused for a moment. He wanted to say that he didn't look at Lu Tong, but he said, "Why did you see that? I watched. It's hard to say whether they will win or lose."

Leng Lianyue: "Just keep watching, if you don't take three breaths, Lu Tong will definitely lose."

Sure enough, as soon as Leng Lianyue finished speaking, Shao Huaiyu and Lu Tong left as soon as they touched each other. Before Lu Tong turned around, Shao Huaiyu's sword was already on his back.

Yu Siyi could tell that the footwork that Shao Huaiyu used just now was one of the qinggong footwork taught by Leng Lianyue, and his swordsmanship was also similar to that of "Zongheng", no wonder he didn't look right just now.

"How does he know your martial arts?" Yu Siyi frowned and asked Leng Lianyue.

Leng Lianyue shook her head, "No, it's just like that."

Yu Siyi asked herself that her aptitude for learning martial arts was average, and since Leng Lianyue said no, it must not be so, so why is the Shao family's martial arts so similar to Yuehua Palace?

Leng Lianyue just glanced at it and then looked away.

The martial arts competition in the arena is over. Although Lu Tong lost, he did not feel unwilling. There are so many martial arts masters in the world. It is only beneficial for him to fight Shao Huaiyu at his age. So far, his mood in the battle has been different. And language.

Lu Tong clasped his fists towards Shao Huaiyu and said, "Brother Shao's martial arts, I am really ashamed of myself."

Shao Huaiyu bowed back, "I don't dare to take it. You are more than four years younger than me. Speaking of which, I am bullying the younger."

Yun Mucheng came over and punched them one by one, "Okay, you guys, don't be polite here, walk around... This fight was really fun, go drink!"

Lu Tong and Shao Huaiyu looked at each other and laughed, Lu Tong said: "My father said that I was never allowed to drink alcohol when I was too young, and I have wanted to try it for a long time. It is rare to meet Brother Shao and Brother Yun today, and I will definitely not go home without getting drunk."

Shao Huaiyu responded in unison: "Okay!"

After the three of them left, there were people competing on stage one after another. After watching the competition between Lu Tong and Shao Huaiyu, it was hard to avoid feeling a bit dull when looking at the others.

It was getting late, and the crowd gradually dispersed. When they left, some people were still discussing the martial arts attainments of Shao Huaiyu and Lu Tong. They all said that heroes were born in youth, so that some who had passed away could not even touch the edge of the list of masters. People can't help themselves, so it is said that in the way of martial arts, talent and opportunity are indispensable.

The figure under Fei Que looked far away and didn't know where it fell, and disappeared into the night without making a sound after a while...

On the way back to the village, Yu Siyi ran into Xiang Wenliu, and saw a very familiar person beside Xiang Wenliu.

Xiao Xu greeted Yu Siyi with a smile, "Young Master Yu, please stay safe."

Yu Siyi replied: "After Yan Luomen left, I didn't see Brother Xiao for a long time. I thought I was buried in the sea of ​​fire. I felt sorry for Brother Xiao for a long time."

"..." Xiao Xu twitched the corners of her mouth, and put her hands behind her back, "Xiao is a businessman who can only run around to make a living. It's not surprising that Brother Yu can't see him. It's not like Brother Yu can do anything without doing anything." It’s such a comfortable life, I’m really envious.”

Yu Siyi smiled but didn't smile, "I'm just idle and can't compare to Brother Xiao's 'professionalism'!"

Xiao Xu: "Brother Yu, why belittle yourself."

Yu Siyi: "Then what kind of 'business' is Brother Xiao coming to Linghuai this time?"

Xiao Xu said: "Brother Yu guessed wrong this time. Xiao has heard about the Chaohua Festival for a long time. It is not a rare opportunity to come and see it, and gain a lot of experience."

Yu Siyi said: "The participants here are all young talents and boudoir girls. I don't know what kind of brother Xiao is?"

Xiang Wenliu opened the folding fan "shua", and said before Xiao Xu could speak: "He? He can be considered an old toad, right?"

Xiao Xu: "..."

When everyone returned to the villa, they went back to their rooms to wash and sleep, and Ling Huai, who had been bustling for a while, also calmed down.

The sky was dark and the moon was covered by dark clouds, and darkness shrouded the world below.

Xiao Xu stood with his back to one person, "Are you sure they are in the restaurant?"

The half-kneeling woman lowered her head and replied: "Yes! The three of them seem to be very happy and drunk." If someone appeared at this time, they would definitely see Hongji, who was admired by so many stars, unexpectedly So small and insignificant.

Xiao Xu turned around and sat down, "Let's do it."

Hong Ji took the order to withdraw.

The three of Shao Huaiyu were so drunk that they were helped by the servants of their respective families to go to the villa.Hong Ji followed behind Yun Mucheng's group, seeing the three of them separated, she gradually got closer. The Yun family's immediate descendants may not be very skilled in martial arts, but they hired a lot of expert guards. She was careful to hide Own whereabouts so as not to alarm the snake.

Yun Mucheng almost died of drunkenness, the servants washed him casually and put him on the bed, the servants withdrew and went back to rest.

The night was dark and the wind was high, and the lights in the courtyards of the houses were extinguished one by one. Hongji waited hidden in the dark. She watched the two people who were walking around on guard at the door, and when they turned their backs to each other, she jumped into the room lightly. In the courtyard, it landed silently.

She came under Yun Mucheng's window, squeezed a stone in her hand and flicked it on Yun Mucheng's bed, the stone fell on the bed, Yun Mucheng opened his eyes, "Who?" Even if he drank a lot, The alertness of the martial arts practitioner was still there, and when he saw a black shadow passing by the window, he shook his head to wake up a little, and chased him out without even thinking.

Hongji ran from the back of the house to the back mountain, Yun Mucheng chased the black shadow to the back mountain woods, he chased for a while and suddenly lost the suspicious figure.He was mostly sober from the wine, and when he came to his head, he thought about it, and felt that he was too impulsive, why did he chase him out by himself.

Yun Mucheng didn't continue to follow rashly, he turned around to check his surroundings, being careful.With a groan, he fell down.

Hongji put down her hand, with contempt in her eyes, "It's so vulnerable, why call it Lifeng Yun's family!"

Jumping down from the tree, Hong Ji stopped after taking two steps. A black figure came out behind her. Just as she was about to turn around, the black figure said in a deep voice, "I advise you not to move."

Hongji didn't move any more, she smiled brightly, her eyes looked bright and bright, "I don't know which hero it is, may Hongji have the honor to meet you?" There seemed to be honey in her voice, sweet and greasy, I'm afraid The bones of men in the world will be three points crisp when they hear this.

The black shadow was completely unmoved, "Put away your charm technique, don't use it to embarrass yourself until you've mastered it."

"You..." Hongji's beautiful face darkened three points in an instant, and she smiled again, "I don't know what the hero can do? I think it's really the slave's gang who got the ax."

Hei Ying pointed to Yun Mucheng who was unconscious on the ground, and Hong Ji's eyes turned Hei Yao, "Then I will give it to the hero." After speaking, he jumped into the tree, and after a few ups and downs, he was far away.

After several ups and downs, the black shadow stopped in front of a thatched hut. He didn't open the door to go in, but faced the door and said, "I don't know what's important for you?"

A chuckle came, and Xie Yang knew that he couldn't hide this man, so he simply walked out from the dark, "Your martial arts are better than mine, and you have more money than me. I'm doing things with my life at risk. .So, can I do a little favor for this?"

The black shadow pushed open the wooden door and walked into the small courtyard, and went straight to the house, lighting up the dim yellow light of the candles to illuminate the simple thatched hut, "We've already paid for everything, please go back!"

Xie Yang looked at the thatched house, "Tsk! You said you could give me so much money, why do you live in this kind of place?"
