One day when the sun was shining, Chen Shi secretly slipped out alone while Qiyue was not paying attention. It has been more than half a month since I returned to the Academy of Chinese Studies, and sometimes on the night when I was particularly tired from training, I would dream of the person wearing silver scales and gold armor and fanning up huge white wings, and my inexplicable curiosity inadvertently rippled in Chen Shi's heart. From Michael Co., Ltd. learned that Liang has a famous tavern called Xiaoye Tavern, and the owner is Liang Guo's know-it-all, as long as he gives enough money within fifty years, he will definitely find clues.

The night tavern is located in the location of Liangdu is not prosperous, and borders the gate of Liangdu, if there are any disasters, or wars, the boss always takes the door with the guy to help, treatment, and in the tavern, there is a list of the top 100 Liang countries that Long Mukou once said, if you want to say the difference between this and the Youth Martial Arts Conference, that is, the Youth Martial Arts Conference is the official nature of the Liang State in order to select the outstanding young people of the Liang State, the purpose is to continuously provide excellent young people to the court and the Liang army, limited to the age of 20, and this so-called top 100 list is the challenge conference organized by the Liang people, which is sponsored by the military power and the gentry of the Liang Kingdom, and naturally every competition, It's all their gamble, and the corresponding winner's prize is also extremely rich, but there are no rules here, whether you are a wealthy nobleman or a brave soldier on the battlefield, you can sign up for the challenge, the only two restrictions are to refuse to participate alone, because it is a crowd of people with a five-in-one technique, compared to the manpower released by a single person, it cannot be ranked in the same volume as the divine power released by the five-in-one technique. Secondly, participants under the age of 20 must be the winners of the Youth Martial Arts Tournament, otherwise they are not qualified to fight with these battle-hardened people.

After entering the tavern, he briefly described his intentions with the shopkeeper, and met their boss in the inner hall, Chen Shi and the boss told him what happened since he was a child, the place of birth, and the passing, hoping that the boss could help him find clues, the boss listened to his description, his expression was also slightly dignified, and after thinking twice, he finally opened a huge amount of two gold coins, obviously the silver coins brought at this time were not enough to pay the bill, so he wanted to press the arrears with the boss in the name of the Academy of Chinese Culture, and so on to repay the debt later.

As soon as the boss heard that I was from the Academy of Chinese Studies, he just brought the tea in his mouth, squirted out, pulled me out of the inner hall, pointed at the woman in the corner of the hall, and said with a sneer at me, "You see that is also from your Academy of Chinese Studies, I have been drinking for a long time, and the wine money has not been paid." ”

When Chen Shi walked in the direction pointed by the boss, he found that the drunk person in the corner turned out to be Ke'er.

Ke'er was in rags at the moment, his hair was scattered, he was already like two people with her, his reddish face was red, obviously he was already drunk, Chen didn't say a word, he took the clothes and draped them on Ke'er's body, his heart was indeed extremely heavy, he had never seen Ke'er like this.

"Boss, I've changed my mind, I don't need you to help me find out what happened to me before, I want to know why this girl is in the tavern, what's going on, all the silver coins on me are for you, but I can buy this news." ”

The owner of the tavern touched his beard, looked extremely reluctant, and sighed: "Forget it, it's cheap for you kid, she came out of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and she was in the tavern after she came out, and your news is only enough to buy these." ”

"What. Prime Minister's Mansion, Prime Minister's Mansion, Prime Minister's Mansion, Prime Minister's Mansion. ”

Chen Shi picked up Ke'er and wanted to walk towards the Prime Minister's Mansion, he didn't want to take into account the righteous way, method, and timing that Master Zunlong said, he wanted to know what happened today, and he wanted to tell all the people of Liangdu about the evil of this Prime Minister.

Chen Shi's move was meaningless to block the car, and Ke'er, who was a little clear, saw it in her eyes, she bit Chen Shiyi heavily and jumped off him.

"I... It's okay.. It's okay.. Prime Minister's Mansion, you didn't do anything to me, you misunderstood... I don't want to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion now, and I don't want to go back to China to study at the Academy, so you take me to a place. Under the guidance of the can, Chen Shi pulled the rickety Ke'er to the northernmost part of Liangdu, Ke'er sat quietly on the grass full of flowers in the north, without saying a word, for some reason, Chen Shi saw loneliness from her back.

Chen Shi was a little hesitant and a little hesitant, but the first question he asked Ke'er was not about the prime minister.

"Cole, do you have parents, what do your parents look like? Your mother is not like you, so.. Kindness.. It's so beautiful."

"I....... Forgot. I forgot what they looked like, I forgot what kindness looked like, and I forgot what beauty was?"

"I'm sorry, did I ask you about your sadness?"

"No.... No... They're alive, it's good to be alive, my mother is the nicest person in the world, it's just ....."

Ke'er, who was slightly drunk and slightly red-faced, wanted to speak and stopped, but didn't continue, for some reason, on the grass under the sunset, Ke'er looked extraordinarily beautiful, Chen Shi looked at it in a daze, in Chen Shi's heart, he had slowly made an oath that he must win the championship of the Youth Martial Arts Conference, just as the dragon master said at that time, and finally crossed the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Although he didn't know what to do now.

"Chen Shi, I suddenly wanted to understand one thing, do you say that we are righteous?"

"Ah, why? You're a woman, and we're righteous?".

"There's no why, but I suddenly feel that if I don't have my parents by my side, it's good to have an extra brother. ”

"I... I think I'm younger than you. ”

"Well, promise me. Is that okay?"

Co'er's eyes didn't know when there was a trace of tears, and there was a shallow smile on the tear, her expression was an expression that Chen Shi had never seen before, and that shallow smile made Chen Shi feel that this was the most beautiful smile he had ever seen in his life.

Ke'er brushed his hand over the tip of the spear beside Chen Shi, and a trace of bright red blood flowed from her tiny palm. "With blood as a memory, I and Chen Shi are sworn brothers, if... If there is anything in the future, we will bear it together. “

Chen Shi smiled bitterly and said, what kind of oath are you, are you saying that I Chen Shi will encounter something in the future. Chen Shi's also scratched a bloody mark on his palm, and shook it with Ke'er, "Today, together with Ke'er, worship as brothers and sisters, share difficulties and blessings."

After a moment, for some reason, both of them laughed. A heartfelt laugh.

Ke'er hugged Chen Shi, as if he had too many things to say but didn't say.

It's just that at this moment, even Chen Shi didn't notice that the blood from the scar on his left hand turned from red to a transparent color after touching Ke'er's blood, dripping to the ground.

"Sister Cole"

"Brother Chen"

Ke'er, who is usually extremely cold, took Chen Shi's hand, and on the mountains and forests here, picking butterflies, stepping on the green, and playing in the water, like a little girl, it was a Ke'er who had never been seen before, a completely different Ke'er, until the sun went down, Chen Shi returned to the Academy of Chinese Studies with the tired Ke'er on his back. On the way, Chen Shi also smiled inexplicably. for he does not know whether what is happening today is a drunken word or a true word.

In the next few days, Ke'er really didn't mention this matter, and even the matter of righteousness was not mentioned, and Qiyue also strictly asked Chen Shi because of the approaching time, and clearly told Chen Shi that the rules of the Youth Martial Arts Conference were within one hour, so physical strength was extremely important. Generally, after less than half an hour of fighting, everyone is seriously out of strength. If you encounter equal strength, physical strength is the biggest problem, and put Chen Shi at the end, except for the previous game he did not participate in, and the later appearance will form a surprise, followed by Chen Shi's extremely strong endurance, a little training may make up for the lack of cooperation.

A month and a half later, the first competition of the Youth Martial Arts Conference began.
