A restaurant in Beijing.

The lights are brightly lit and various dishes are placed on the table.

"Come, my nephew can become a third-class guard at such an age. His future is limitless. My uncle is here to congratulate my nephew." A middle-aged man with a sparse beard and a smile on his rosy face.

Gu Lanshan, a senior official in the Qipin Etiquette Department in the capital and a young friend of Wang Bokun, once pulled Chen Ke into an arrangement with his daughter Gu Lanshan.

Chen Ke said: "Uncle Gu doesn't need to be so polite. It's just a coincidence."

"Brother Chen Ke, Lanshan is here to toast you, and wish you success!" Gu Lanshan raised her wine glass and toasted to Chen Ke with her eyebrows curved and a smile in her eyes.

"Thank you." When Chen Ke saw Gu Lanshan, he also felt that she was not bad looking. If he could marry her and go home to his aunt, he would definitely be very satisfied.

It's a pity that my aunt can no longer see this scene.

Gu Yuanjiang saw Chen Ke staring at Gu Lanshan for a few times, a smile flashed in his eyes, and he said: "Lanshan, chat with your brother Chen Ke more, you young people can communicate more together."

"Yes, father." Gu Lanshan lowered her head slightly, with a shy expression. When she came, her father had already told her that she wanted to recruit Chen Ke as her son-in-law, and she also knew what the result would be.

Gu Yuanjiang looked at Chen Ke again and said: "My dear nephew, you said you came to the capital and you didn't even know you were looking for me. If I had known that you were Chen Ke who made a big fuss a while ago, I would have come to see you long ago."

Chen Ke smiled lightly and said: "Uncle Gu, there is no need to say that. I don't want to cause you any trouble, so I didn't go looking for you."

"From now on, our two families should have a good communication. After I learned the news about those bastards who massacred Chenjia Village, my heart was very painful. Fortunately, you are still alive, but it is a pity that your uncle Wang Bokun and Wang... Oh, let's not mention it. Drink.

." Gu Yuanjiang looked sad.

Several people around him also toasted together and talked about Chen Ke's promising young man.

Gu Lanshan raised her head slightly and looked at Chen Ke. Just in time to see Chen Ke's gaze, she lowered her head shyly.

A banquet seemed to be a celebration for Chen Ke, but it was Gu Yuanjiang talking in front of several friends about his relationship with the Chen family, how close he was, and how well he treated Chen Ke.

Chen Ke didn't need to introduce himself to a few people. He was favored by the emperor and had been friends with Lord Tulong, who was the first rank of the dynasty for many years. For such a young man, it would not be a problem for him to rise to prominence in the court in the future.

Finally, after the banquet dispersed, Gu Yuanjiang looked at Chen Ke and said, "It's getting late, let Lanshan take you back."

Chen Ke said: "No need to bother, I live outside the city, I can just go back by myself. Brother Zhang is here too, there will be no danger."

Gu Yuanjiang looked at Zhang Guard and nodded: "Okay, let's go first and see you tomorrow."

Walking on the way out of the city.

Zhang Huwei smiled and said: "You see, this person is in a difficult situation and has nothing. He has lost his friends and it is hard to meet old friends. But once he takes advantage of the wind and reaches the sky, old friendships that he has not seen for many years will appear."

Chen Ke said: "It's nothing. Everyone seeks advantages and avoids disadvantages. I don't blame Uncle Gu. I was just an orphan who came to escape at that time. It's normal for him not to see me and not knowing about me. I'll leave first, you

Be careful on the road."

Chen Ke left the city.

Zhang Huowei shook his head and smiled: "I don't know? I remember that a while ago, the tragedy of Chen Ke in Chenjia Village, Shanyin County shocked the entire capital. Hehe, I thought Gu Yuanjiang really had some special relationship with Chen Ke!

"

Chen Ke was quite happy. Meeting an old friend in a foreign country was a great joy in life. Moreover, the way he looked at Gu Lanshan was also interesting. If he worked harder, he might be able to hug the beauty back.

"But can immortals get married?" Chen Ke looked confused.

On the way back, Chen Ke met the banshee again.

The banshee was wearing a willow-green gauze, standing next to the tree, with spring-like eyebrows, and said with a smile: "Little brother, I have a sprained foot, can you..."

"No!" Chen Ke refused, "You are a monster, how could you sprain your feet? Don't lie to me."

"You... really don't know how to show mercy to women!" The female demon was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily: "You don't even want it for free, you are doomed to be alone all your life."

Chen Ke thought for a while and asked: "Hey, can immortals get married?"

The banshee thought that Chen Ke had changed her mind, and she showed a charming smile again, saying: "Of course, you can become an immortal, you can marry as many as you want, and all kinds of fame, fortune, glory and wealth will come to you one by one.

.”

After hearing this, Chen Ke felt that it made sense. The people in Ansheng Palace dared to give orders in front of the real emperor, and they were indeed very powerful.

"However, you are not an immortal yet, but my sister can let you enjoy these in advance. Come with me." The banshee stretched out her white arms and waved slowly.

Chen Ke didn't even look at it, and ran directly to the ruined temple, bringing up a puff of smoke.

"Idiot, big idiot!" The female demon was so angry that she thought Chen Ke was interested in getting married, but it ended abruptly. How is this different from ruthlessly pulling out in the middle?

"Die alone!"

…

Chen Ke ran all the way back to the ruined temple, lit the oil lamp, sat cross-legged, and began to practice.

The teacher said that you should not stop practicing, and if you do, you have to start over from the first day. Chen Ke did not dare to relax and had to go back to the ruined temple to practice every night.

In the morning, Chen Ke carried Mrs. Qin's package and Xiaobao's favorite candied haws, and went to the small barren mountain in the north with the gray-haired mouse.

Today is a day off, and Chen Ke wants to pay homage to Sister-in-law Qin.

After burning all the things for Sister Qin, Chen Ke bowed three times.

"Sister-in-law Qin, I have executed Chen Ying in accordance with the laws of the country, but don't worry, there is another Princess Jinde, she will not escape the severe punishment of the law!"

Chen Ke said.

On the way back, the gray-haired mouse was silent for a long time, and then slowly said: "Brother, I want to travel far and wide, and I want to say goodbye to you."

Chen Ke was slightly startled and said, "You want to leave too?"

Sister-in-law Qin and the others were gone, and the gray-haired mouse was going to travel. At this moment, Chen Ke suddenly felt even more lonely.

The gray-haired mouse said: "I have almost recovered from my injuries. I have also been negligent in the matter of Sister Qin. If I could have the level of the banshee and the old fox, maybe she would not be captured by the bad guys. I want to see it."

The world of practitioners, go outside and have a look."

Chen Ke fell silent.

The gray-haired mouse continued: "You also said that everything is Tao. I want to see all things in the world and the Tao of heaven and earth. The outside world is very big, and Zhao is just a small country. When you go out, you will also

Understand how vast the monastic world is."

Chen Ke said: "I understand, but I still have things to do and need to stay here."

He also wanted Princess Jinde to be executed and would not leave with the gray-haired mouse.

I took the gray-haired mouse to have a good meal. The gray-haired mouse told Chen Ke a lot about the outside world, which he heard from the old fox and the banshee. Chen Ke also felt that the outside world was very exciting.

At the end of the song, everyone parted ways. Chen Ke said goodbye to the gray-haired mouse and gave him the donkey.

Before leaving, the gray-haired mouse said: "I heard from some relatives in the south that two fierce women have come to the capital. They are also practitioners. You should pay attention."

Chen Ke didn't pay too much attention. He packed up the ruined temple and went to the capital in the afternoon to pay compensation to the person who borrowed the donkey.

Walking on the streets, memories are everywhere, sad and unforgettable.

"Brother Chen Ke, you are here too!"

By coincidence, Chen Ke met Gu Lanshan, whom he had met yesterday. She was accompanied by several young men.

"Sister Lanshan, what a coincidence." Chen Ke smiled.

Next to Gu Lanshan, there was a person with a face similar to hers. He took a step forward and said, "This must be Brother Chen Ke. I am Gu Lanshui, Lanshan's brother. These are my friends."

Gu Lanshui introduced Chen Ke one by one. A young man with oily hair and a pink face rolled his eyes and said: "Brother Gu, this relative of yours looks a bit honest and doesn't look like a member of the military. Did he go through the back door and buy it?"

Got a third-class guard?"

"Hahaha!"

Several other young men laughed one after another.

Gu Lanshui looked slightly embarrassed, and he said to Chen Ke: "Brother Chen, I'm sorry, we have to leave first, they have drunk too much."

"I didn't drink." The young man with oily hair and pink face said, turning to stare at Chen Ke seriously: "Boy, I heard from Brother Gu this morning that he wanted to marry Lanshan to you. Do you dare to make a gesture? If you lose, you will give up Lanshan!"

Chen Ke felt strange in his heart. He and Gu Lanshan had only met once. Although they were relatives, they were still a joke when they were children.

"Friend, you really drank too much." Chen Ke didn't want to argue with this person, so he turned around and left.

"Don't go!"

The oily young man stood up and blocked Chen Ke's way. Chen Ke bumped into him. The oily young man was knocked away and sat on the ground. Chen Ke left without looking back, which made Gu Lanshan's eyes show pleasure.

.

"Chen Ke, right? Third-class guard, right? My father is the head of the Ministry of War, from the sixth rank, and has a higher official position than you!" The oily young man shouted angrily, but Chen Ke didn't turn around to talk to him.

Leave.

A smile flashed in Gu Lanshui's eyes, and he immediately helped the oily young man: "Brother Zhang, why is it like this? We are all friends. Besides, Lanshan's marriage is just a guess and has not been confirmed yet, so don't worry!"

The oily young man said: "Brother Gu, you know how I feel about Lanshan. Lanshan also has a crush on me. That boy is just a martial artist. How can he compare with my Zhang family! I will tell my father when I get home, come and you

Propose marriage at home.”

"Brother Zhang, you..." Gu Lanshan showed concern.

But the oily young man strode away...

Seeing this, several other young people also said goodbye and left. Gu Lanshui looked at Gu Lanshan and said, "Sister, this is why you took us shopping early in the morning."

"Brother, I am doing it for my father too. Choosing a good husband will also help my father's career." Gu Lanshan didn't have the Xiaojiabiyu just now, her eyes were full of pride at this moment.

"Be careful when playing with fire, Chen Ke is not easy." Gu Lanshui shook his head, he had heard about Chen Ke.

You just killed the consort in front of the princess, which most people would not dare to do!
