The ship went for another three days and finally berthed at Yongle Port.Lu Ziyuan left halfway, he and He Xichen hit it off right away, if he didn't want to visit his uncle, he would have continued to walk with them.

The sons and daughters of the rivers and lakes are so neat and tidy. If they don't agree with each other, they call them brothers and sisters.

The prosperous place in the south of the Yangtze River, looking around, the streets are full of special things from all over the world.Grapes and peppers from the Western Regions, jiegu and painted pottery from Kucha, lychees and white wine from the south, pickles and silk from Yangzhou, sandalwood fans and lotus roots from Suzhou, autumn dew in big restaurants, and the scent of rouge from girls who come out day and night by the flowing water, Not all.

Pushing the wheelchair, the mute woman poked her head to see the novelties all the way, even Shi Jianchen, who was immovable, was dazzled by the bustling scene.

Yichun Building and Qizhi Pavilion are located in the most central area of ​​Lin'an Prefecture, facing each other, making money every day.As the [-]th day of the eighth month approaches, Lin'an Mansion is filled with people from all walks of life, such as the old man in sackcloth wearing a bamboo hat on the East Street, whose figure is fluttering, walking among the crowd without getting a speck of dust.

Shi Jianchen couldn't help touching the long sword on his waist vigilantly.Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon in Lin'an Mansion made the little young hero who had just come out of the rivers and lakes feel a little uneasy.

"Sometimes, when you see it, you have to pretend you didn't see it, and you don't show your emotions or emotions, so as not to startle the snake and cause unnecessary trouble." He Xichen who was on the wheelchair said suddenly, and before Shi Jianchen could react, he picked out jewelry from the side of the stall. The dumb girl said, "If you like it, buy it. We are not short of money."

The mute girl hesitated, thought and thought again, and finally put Zhu Chai down.

"You girl." He Xichen looked left and right, and directed Shi Jianchen to push him to a jewelry shop called "Yizhiqiao". Regardless of the dumb girl's persuasion, he just bought a handle with Hetian jade. Sophisticated hairpin.

The dumb girl slapped He Xichen several times angrily, and either wore or not with the hairpin.Dear mother, such a small thing actually needs a piece of gold leaf!This prodigal son!

"I was wrong, I was wrong, my aunt! I bought it now, but I can't refund it, so please do me a favor, and please forgive me!" He Xichen cried out heartily.

The mute girl looked at the hosta that was shining warmly in the sun, and finally pinned it on her bun. She asked the two men for their opinions with a little nervous eyes.

"Very nice, our girl is getting more and more beautiful."

Even the perplexed Shi Jianchen said under the expectant eyes of the dumb girl, "It's very suitable for you."

The mute girl lowered her head, blushing.

The three found a relatively cheap inn to live in.As the Mid-Autumn Festival approached, many people flocked to the city. Naturally, businessmen would not miss this opportunity, and the prices increased a lot.For the three poor ghosts, if you can save, you can save. He Xichen and Shi Jianchen live in the same room, and the dumb girl lives in the same room. Spending money is very heartbreaking.

After arranging accommodation, the three of them went shopping in the street again—two shopping, one inquiring about news.

Hungry, He Xichen rubbed his stomach: "Why don't you go eat first?" He took out his purse, turned it upside down, and there was only one copper coin left.Shi Jianchen searched all over his body, but only three coins were left.

There were still three gold leaves in the insole of the dumb woman's shoe. She reluctantly took out the gold leaves and put them in He Xichen's hands. .”

"Don't count me in." Shi Jianchen said, "I'll go and see what I can make money by myself."

"The Lin'an Mansion doesn't have any reward orders. Do you want to go to the pier to help people unload the goods?" He Xichen asked back.

"That's what I mean." Shi Jianchen nodded solemnly.

This stubborn donkey!

He Xichen has his own thoughts. There are no rules to follow in the competitions in the Qizhi Pavilion. The last time was "tea", the last time was "poetry", and the last time was "martial arts". Scholars have opportunities, and swordsmen also have opportunities. It depends on your luck and strength.At best, he can be regarded as a second-rate expert, while Ku Ge Shaoxia has not been tempered, so he can't be considered a top-notch player. Two second-rate players combined are better than a first-rate player who suddenly came out.

"Listen, this is cooperation. The girl and I also want to participate in the competition in the Qizhi Pavilion. Then the three of us will join forces and win [-]% of the gold."

Shi Jianchen was silent for a while.

"You have also seen that there are many talented people in this competition, and the title of the Qizhi Pavilion is still unknown. When the time comes, I will have me in the text and you in the martial arts. It will not be a loss." He Xichen broke up the matter and told Shi Jianchen. Working with a single-minded person is a hassle.

Shi Jianchen was a bit out of touch with the world, but not stupid, and nodded after weighing the pros and cons.

"Then let's go buy buns first." He Xichen finally breathed a sigh of relief, and handed four copper coins to him.

A bag of lean meat with mushrooms and two bags of cabbage.

The dumb girl was holding the meat bun and devouring it hungrily.

During the dormant period, many things also happened in the rivers and lakes.Xian Fangping didn't die, he returned to Linyuan Peak, the demon sect that intimidated the martial arts was destroyed by his own people.The news that Xian Fangping disappeared again made everyone feel insecure, for fear that this lunatic would find him the next moment.

But all of this has nothing to do with the bustling Lin'an mansion at this time. The dumb girl who can't stay idle works in the medical center opposite the inn, and can earn [-] Wen a day. She likes to count the copper coins one by one, showing her big white teeth when she smiles. .He Xichen taught Shi Jianchen's sword skills twice when he had nothing to do, but he was entangled even more tightly.

On the twelfth day of the eighth month, the full moon climbed to the middle of the sky, and the breeze blew over the Yichun Tower, dyed with the fragrance of rouge, and floated to the opposite Qizhi Pavilion, which is carved with jue and carved with jade.A long scroll was unrolled from the top floor, and the three majestic characters clearly declared this year's test question - Beauty's Heart.

In three days, she won the heart of Miss Dongting, the most beautiful woman in the world.

Every river and lake must have a leader of the Demon Cult, otherwise it will lose a little bit of blood, and by the same token, every river and lake must also have a martial arts leader, otherwise it will lose a little bit of righteousness.With the leader of the demon sect and the leader of the martial arts alliance, naturally the most beautiful woman in the world and the best wine in the world are indispensable, so blood, righteousness, and jewels are all there.

Yichun Building occupies the second place.

Shi Jianchen's hand holding the sword tightened, feeling hopeless at once, but He Xichen patted his palm and praised: "The pen flies like a snake, and the power penetrates the back of the paper, good writing!"

What a big heart.He said silently.

"Let's go, girl is waiting for us to eat." He Xichen greeted Shi Jianchen, not paying attention to the foolish looks from the people around him.

The sky is big and the earth is big, eating is the biggest, even the most beautiful woman in the world can't stop a heart that wants to eat.

"Okay, don't make a sour face, it's not impossible." He Xichen persuaded freely, Shi Jianchen couldn't help touching his face, did he have an ugly expression?

"Extremely ugly!" He Xichen emphasized.

"Our chances of winning are still very high. You look pretty good. At that time, sacrifice your physical sex/lure, and maybe it will work."

"No! This is not an act of a gentleman!" Shi Jianchen refused righteously, but He Xichen, who was always teasing him, said: "You're right, then forget it."

So simple?He thought that He Xichen would not give up easily, and it would take a lot of effort to dispel his idea.

Shi Jianchen was a little guilty: "I'm sorry." After all, the cooperation between them was for the gold hundred taels, he denied this method but couldn't think of a clue.

"Why do you say I'm sorry? You're fine." He Xichen took out two pieces of Poria cocos cake from the secret box, ate one by himself, stretched out the other, and handed it to Shi Jianchen, looking really happy.Shi Jianchen was not used to it at the beginning, but now he can take it with his mouth naturally.

"You are stubborn and stubborn, and you don't know how to adapt, but this is very good. Good is good, evil is evil, right and wrong are black and white, and it should be clearly distinguished."

Of course, He Xichen knew that Shi Jianchen would not agree to the beauty trick. Just looking at his swordsmanship, which was clean and neat, without muddy water, and without any distracting thoughts, he knew that he was a sincere and trustworthy person.He Xichen was very happy to meet such a person, and also very happy that he was such a person.

As for the heart of the most beautiful woman in the world, take your time.

Shi Jianchen's heart moved slightly, and suddenly he said in a sour voice: "You are fine too."

"That's not true." He Xichen glanced at him, "Besides, she is the most beautiful woman in the world, and it will be fun if you don't win her and pay yourself for it!"

"You!" Shi Jianchen said angrily, "I won't!"

"You are still young, so you don't know the lethality of beauty. Look at King Zhou, King Zhou You, and Lu Bu!" He Xichen advised with an experienced tone.

There were people coming and going on the street, and the young man was already used to the occasional nagging of the little cripple, pushing the wheelchair with swift steps.

However, the three days really did not allow them to take their time.

The Yichun Tower didn't stop for a moment. Some people presented poems, some played the zither, some showed force, and some made promises of half of the gold, just to win the favor of the Dongting girl, but they didn't even get to see it with their own eyes.Everyone didn't dare to make trouble, they couldn't afford to offend Qizhi Pavilion and Yichun Tower at the same time.

On August [-]th, it was the third watch of the night at this time, and the bright moon in the middle of the sky was shining on Shi Jianchen who was climbing outside the Yichun Building. It is the residence of Dongting.

"Take your time." He Xichen squinted his eyes and smiled slyly. Shi Jianchen pursed his lips and remained silent. He turned the man up a bit, avoiding the watchman and the guards in the dark, and began to jump up the stairs neatly.

The boudoir in Dongting is quiet and silent, shrouded in the darkness of Lengxiang.As if the window was gently pushed open by the wind, Shi Jianchen sneaked in without a sound, placed He Xichen on the chair, and helped him straighten his clothes.

"What's next?" he asked softly.

Is it to lure or intimidate?In fact, this is not the work of a gentleman. How could he be coaxed here by this guy in a moment of obsession?Shi Jianchen was annoyed.

"East……"

"Hush!" Shi Jianchen suddenly covered He Xichen's mouth, "Hush!"

But seeing He Xichen's eyes smile into a crescent shape, he took off his hand covering his mouth.

"Miss Dongting." He called.

Shi Jianchen froze, turned around and looked, the pretty lady in the pink thin shirt didn't see the thief's panic at all, she calmly smiled, and immediately filled the room with brilliance.

He Xichen let out an "ohhh" in his heart, thinking that this little girl is really interesting.Shi Jianchen was not so calm, his nose was sweating, and he was caught in the first night attack. The young man who was rigidly adhering to the chivalrous way was more panicked than the people who were attacked by night.

The room was silent for a while, and the three of them stared at each other, as if they were trying to compete whose concentration was better.

The window moved again, and the wind blew by - the martial arts leader in Shi Qing's strong outfit stepped on the window with one foot hanging outside, and the astonished gazes of the three people in the room fell directly on him.

Lu Ziyuan looked complicated, raised his hand and waved awkwardly: "What a coincidence."

Rao even He Xichen was taken aback by his visit. Before he could find out why, he heard the voice of the owner of the room as sweet as a ring, and said softly, "Young Villa Master wants to see Dongting. Ting will definitely dress up and wait for the king to come, why bother to do such an act of breaking into the house and stealing fragrance?"

He Xichen suddenly felt that this little girl was more interesting.

"Oh, I did send you a letter. The letter said that I would come tonight." As expected of Lu Ziyuan, after landing, he justly complained that she didn't leave a door.

Dongting put up a round fan to cover the corners of his mouth: "Your letter clearly stated that you came only on August [-]th."

The tone of the two is familiar, it is obvious that they have known each other for a long time.

"The time has passed, it happens to be fourteen." Lu Ziyuan looked at the bright moon outside the window and argued, and suddenly covered his heart, "Actually, I was hunted down and injured, so I broke in." His tone remained unchanged, It seemed to say that the moon tonight was really round, and he couldn't hear the slightest pain, but cold sweat dripped from his forehead, and the moonlight made his face paler.

Dongting exclaimed, and Lu Ziyuan waved his hand: "Small injury, just let me take care of it overnight." Then he cursed Xian Fangping in a low voice, and then looked at the two silent statues beside him, "Xichen, Shi Shaoxia, you guys Why are you here too?"

"Uh..." He Xichen scratched his cheek, and said with a smile, "Cheating."

Shi Jianchen:! ! !I beg you!Stop talking, okay!
