Since the end of the battle between good and evil on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the capital has returned to its original track of life. As a large number of people from all walks of life left the capital of Chu, the most virtuous city in the world, another group of people arrived.
Come in.
After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the annual imperial examination in Dachu gradually approached. Most of those poor scholars who had studied hard for ten years were counting on this opportunity to make a comeback.
Originally, studying has always been something only children from wealthy families can enjoy. This does not mean that children from poor families have no ambition, but the books, pens, inks, paper, inkstones, etc. required for studying are really difficult for an ordinary family.
A heavy burden.
Besides, although Da Chu has implemented the imperial examination system, it is still difficult for ordinary scholars to get ahead. Most officials in Beijing want to find a ranking for their nephews and then arrange a position.
Therefore, although the annual imperial examination appears to be fair and just, in fact, 80% of the rankings have been arranged before the examination begins.
And among the remaining 20%, there is still 10% to be sold to those wealthy businessmen who have tens of millions of taels of gold but no fame in themselves. Only this last 10% is for the world's scholars to grab.
.
Really:
A scholar in a prosperous age is worse than a dog!
…
In the capital, at the Xingyue Sect's station, Mo Ruyue, Lin Cangsheng and their group, who should have left long ago, have stayed here because of Wang Xuanlang.
"Are you leaving the capital too?"
Mo Ruyue spoke softly and asked the gray-haired old man in front of her.
The old man who Mo Ruyue showed concern for was naturally Wang Xuanlang, and Jiang Ergou, who had been hanging out with Su Ruyu, Chu Wushuang and the others for many days, also appeared next to the old man again.
"It's time to leave. I have stayed in this capital for long enough. If I don't leave, many planned things will not be completed."
Hearing this, Mo Ruyue's eyes tightened at Wang Xuanlang. It was planned! But part of the old man's plan was to find that person!
"I will come find you when I return to the sect and arrange the affairs within the sect!"
Wang Xuanlang looked at Mo Ruyue with a dodge in his eyes, but he didn't want to escape this time. Since he had been running away for thirty years before, he should face it seriously now!
"good!"
Wang Xuanlang stretched out his hand and pulled the green hair behind Mo Ruyue's ear.
Lin Cangsheng stood aside, with no anger or envy in his eyes, only regret. He had also had feelings for Mo Ruyue when he was young, but he knew that only Wang Xuanlang was the most suitable for Mo Ruyue. Who else would
None of them worked, including himself. Unfortunately, these two people still couldn't get together in the end.
"When the time comes, I will also look for you!"
Lin Cangsheng didn't say much. He and Wang Xuanlang had been friends for so many years, and they didn't know each other well.
But such a tender scene was ruined by Jiang Ergou, the apprentice behind the old man Wang Xuanlang, and Lin Xuanqing, Mo Ruyue's apprentice.
Ever since the last time she was in Wangyou City, Lin Xuanqing was bumped into by Su Ruyu and Jiang Ergou while taking a bath, she has been grieving over it. She never thought of letting these two people go, but she never found the opportunity.
"Sooner or later I will teach you a lesson!"
Lin Xuanqing looked at Jiang Ergou, who was standing opposite her, with a cannibalistic look. She didn't make a sound, but opened her lips slightly, but she knew that the lecherous bastard would definitely understand.
"I am waiting for you!"
Jiang Ergou is not a master who is afraid of trouble. Of course he knows that it is impossible for her to take action at this time, so there is no need to give her face. As for the future, when he leaves the capital, the world is huge, maybe he will not
I met this crazy woman again.
…
Autumn has been here for quite some time now, so the early morning sun is no longer so dazzling, and it just feels a little warm when it shines on me.
At the gate of the capital, coming and going
There is an endless stream of pedestrians, but most of them are scholars carrying book boxes into the city.
After experiencing so many things in the capital, the old man Wang Xuanlang finally decided to leave with his apprentice Jiang Ergou to complete their unfinished journey in the world!
There were quite a few people who came to see the master and disciple off, not only Mo Ruyue, Lin Cangsheng, Su Ruyu and Chu Wushuang, but even Chu Fusheng, who had only met for a meal, also came.
After having a meal at Chu Fusheng's house a few days ago, Jiang Ergou, led by Chu Wushuang and the others, ran to Chu Fusheng's house!
After Chu Fusheng knew that Ergou was a disciple of the Sword Immortal, he started clamoring to learn swordsmanship from him, until Ergou placed the Kunwu Sword in front of him and told him seriously: I haven't started practicing swordsmanship yet.
He just gave up.
The old man Wang Xuanlang and Mo Ruyue didn't talk much to each other. What needed to be said had been said before this morning, and they had long looked down on the matter of separation over the past few decades.
It's just that Ergou and Su Ruyu are more or less inseparable. The young man's mood is much more pretentious than that of Wang Xuanlang and other old men and women.
"Ergou, you must practice your sword well! When you really become a first-class master, I will be happy even if you beat me into a pig's head!"
Jiang Ergou smiled and slapped Su Ruyu on the back of the head.
"Who wants to beat you into a pig's head? When I become the best master in the world, if anyone dares to bully you, I will beat him into a pig's head."
Su Ruyu smiled and touched the place where Ergou slapped her. It didn't hurt, it was just a touch.
"Let's not talk about whether you are an expert or not. You have to take good care of yourself. If you feel that the money in your pocket is not enough, then bring more. Didn't you always complain that you didn't have a lot of money in the past? Here is the opportunity.
Now, please don’t be polite to me."
Ergou reached out and hugged Su Ruyu.
"Hey hey hey, why should I be polite to you? We already have enough money in our pockets, not to mention the two hundred and two big red envelopes that the mother of that little girl Iron Fist gave us when we were in the boxing club. Even if it is
I’ll drink the best wine and eat the best meals along the way, and it won’t be all spent!”
Speaking of this, Su Ruyu probably thought of Wang Xuanlang who always liked to call him a bastard.
"Old man, you have to take care of yourself. If you want to drink well on the way, ask Ergou to buy you a bottle. If he really doesn't want to, ask him to keep the account. I'll help you later.
Give it back to him."
"good!"
Ever since Wang Xuanlang met Mo Ruyue, his temperament had changed a lot for some reason. If he had been like this in the past, he would have burst out laughing, but this time he just looked at Su Ruyu warmly and nodded, saying okay
Character.
"Ergou, when you become a first-level sword immortal, don't forget to come back and tell me. I will also be able to brag to others and say that I have a sword immortal friend."
Chu Wushuang stretched out his fist and hit Ergou on the chest.
"That's a coincidence. I also have this idea. In the future, whether I am fighting with others or bragging to others, I will tell them that I have a prince friend. Look at them, who dares to fight me!"
The last one to speak was Chu Fusheng, who had only known Ergou for a few days. He didn't say much, just one sentence.
"Whenever you master the sword, come back and teach me how to use the sword! You have eaten my food, so you have to agree to my request."
Ergou nodded and said okay, and then couldn't help but say.
"Fusheng, with your skills, you can open a restaurant by yourself! With your background and the taste of the food, aren't you the one that beats Manxiang Restaurant instantly? I know you are not short of money."
At this point, Ergou suddenly came close to Chu Fusheng's ear, as if he was about to whisper a word!
"But you are a fool if you don't make money when you have money! You must listen to my advice this time."
A smile appeared on Chu Fusheng's clean and handsome face, and he looked at Jiang Ergou sincerely.
"good!"
Having said goodbye, it's almost time to leave. Last time in Luochuan City, it was Qin Yi and Qin Xuejian, the brother and sister, but this time it was finally Ergou's turn.
"Let's go now. It's not like we won't see each other again. The three of you will wait in the capital for my return!"
Ergou turned his back and did not look at Su Ruyu and Chu Wushuang, but his eye circles were indeed a little red.
After hesitating for a moment, Jiang Ergou stepped out and walked out without looking back. He just waved to the back. He knew that the group of people behind him were watching him leave, and he wanted to leave his most handsome back to them.
!
The old man watched Ergou striding forward without stopping, nor did he deliberately expose Ergou's shameless behavior. He happily followed Ergou with the rattan-shaped sword on his back.
Su Ruyu looked at the figures of Ergou who were gradually receding on the official road, and covered the sun with her hands.
There are always some people, no matter men or women, when they leave, you will feel a lot of reluctance.
But Su Ruyu's expression of reluctance could not last long.
"Are you Su Ruyu?"
Suddenly a cool female voice came from behind him. He straightened his clothes after hearing it. Su Ruyu definitely thought that the woman who could make such a pleasant voice must be a graceful woman who looked at the flowers like tears.
It's not a big deal when my brother leaves, but it's a big deal if he loses face in front of such a woman.
When he was ready to turn around with a gentleman's expression, he was suddenly frightened and turned pale.
It's not that the woman is not good-looking, on the contrary, that woman can be said to be a fairy-like figure, but Su Ruyu never wants to see this stunning face in her life.
"Girl... girl, Ergou forced me to go there when we were in Wangyou City. It's none of my business! That kid hasn't gone far yet. How about I go help the girl to catch him?
!”
The person who spoke was naturally Lin Xuanqing of the Xingyue Sect. He wanted to teach Jiang Ergou a lesson, but he never had the chance, but this time he finally met one of his accomplices.
"snort!"
Lin Xuanqing didn't have time to listen to Su Ruyu's sophistry, so he raised his head and kicked Su Ruyu in the stomach.
Mo Ruyue said nothing while watching this scene. Since Ergou is Wang Xuanlang's disciple, then forget it, but his own disciple can't be wronged, right? It's okay to find someone to vent his anger on, as long as the attack is not too harsh.
It doesn't matter.
"Ah...girl, don't slap me in the face!"
Su Ruyu, who was kicked out, could only say this sentence in time. It would be better if he didn't say it. After saying it, Lin Xuanqing just greeted him in the face.
One punch hit his eye, and the eye immediately turned into a panda eye. It seemed that it was asymmetrical and affected the appearance. Lin Xuanqing punched Su Ruyu again and made Su Ruyu's other eye into a panda eye.
became a couple.
At the moment when he took action, Chu Wushuang, who was standing next to Su Ruyu, pulled his younger brother out. As for Su Ruyu, who knows if he ruined the girl's innocence and she came to her door. Even if he was the prince,
But I don't have the courage to take care of this matter.
"Brother, who is that woman?"
Chu Fusheng allowed his elder brother to lead him back.
"How did I know? Why, you think that woman is beautiful and you are attracted to her?"
Chu Fusheng immediately looked horrified.
"How is it possible? Anyone who marries such a woman as his wife will be unlucky for eight lifetimes."
"Isn't this the end?"
After Lin Xuanqing beat Su Ruyu into a panda, he finally stopped and looked up at the place where Jiang Ergou disappeared.
Behind her, Wu Feng from Wenjian Sect looked at her back without blinking.
Lin Cangsheng saw his disciple's performance in his eyes, but did not warn him aloud.
No matter whether Lin Xuanqing is his disciple's love disaster or not, he still has to walk this road by himself!
