Qiandu is the heart of Daqian, solemn and prosperous. The city wall is made of green steel stone, strong and majestic, and from a distance, it looks like a blue-gray giant beast lying on the horizon, making people oppressive and breathless.

Qiandu is centered on the Forbidden Imperial City, and four main roads lead to the four gates of Qiandu, which are the four roads of Qinglong, Vermilion Bird, Xuanwu and White Tiger. Overlooking the entire Qiandu from above, large and small shops and houses are dotted along Sixiang Avenue. Draw a dormant array of shocking worlds.

Gu Fan walked on the bustling and noisy Suzaku Avenue, looking at the busy traffic and endless flow of people, and the bustling vendors on the street, bargaining scenes. It was as if yesterday's thorn was like a stone hitting the sea, and it couldn't help but sigh.

"The thousand-year-old emperor is still there, and the dreams of several generations of courtiers are empty. ”

Gu Fan shook his head, thinking that there is still time to hurt the present and nostalgia, and he is almost too poor to open the pot. The silver stored at the border over the years has turned into a coil in the Qiandu. What's more, now he still has an oil bottle, and he has an extra mouth, which really makes him shy.

grabbed a few pairs of medicines for Shangguan Jiantang and returned to the inn from the pharmacy. Gu Fan, who was on the way back, was dripping blood in his heart, and touched the few pennies left in his arms, and it was estimated that he couldn't even pay tomorrow's room fee.

When Gu Fan returned to the inn, he pushed open the door, and suddenly saw a sharp knife wind coming towards him.

Gu Fan hurriedly dodged sideways. The other party's sword technique is exquisite but lacks true qi to assist, and for Gu Fan, he can barely deal with it.

His dark luck true qi gathered in his palm, and he accurately shook his long knife away. Shangguan Jiantang couldn't hold the long knife for a while, and flew out of her hand, her face turned a little paler.

"Hey, I'm kind enough to save you, don't you want revenge!"

Shangguan Jiantang didn't answer, stared at Gu Fan coldly, and was silent.

Gu Fan instantly remembered the charming scene when he changed her clothes, and his momentum suddenly weakened a little.

"Uh~ It's an accident...... I... I didn't know you were a woman, and the situation was urgent, so I had no choice but to do it!" said weakly.

Shangguan Jiantang still didn't say a word, his face was cold, he picked up the long knife on the ground and rushed over again.

In order to stabilize her mood, Gu Fan escaped from the stack room with the medicine bag and went to decoct the medicine for her.

Shangguan Jiantang looked at Gu Fan, who had escaped in a hurry, and did not chase him out, his cold expression actually softened a little.

There is no doubt that she understands in her heart that the effect of the Tongtian Pill has passed, her meridians are all broken, her true qi is completely gone, and she is not even as good as an ordinary person, how can she be Gu Fan's opponent, he is undoubtedly taking care of his emotions.

By the time Gu Fan decocted the medicine and returned to the stack room, the bright moon was already hanging high.

Gu Fan pushed the door in.

I saw Shangguan Jiantang with his arms and knees, his face haggard, his lips pale, and his eyes staring out the window blankly, the dim night scene.

Gu Fan heard the doctor say that Shangguan Jiantang's internal condition was very bad, and the Qi Sea Dantian collapsed, which was tantamount to an ordinary person who could not cultivate, which was for a master like her, falling from the clouds to the bottom, and the mood was tantamount to a bolt from the sky, and it was inevitable that she could not change for a while.

Gu Fan brought the decocted medicine to the bedside. said softly to Shangguan Jiantang.

"The medicine is ready, let's drink some medicine. ”

Shangguan Jiantang didn't pay attention to Gu Fan, and his godless eyes didn't even have a trace of fluctuation, as if his eyes were blindfolded with death.

Gu Fan didn't care about her reaction, rotated the medicine spoon in the bowl, gently blew the cold medicine, and placed it on the table. With his back to Shangguan Jiantang, he continued.

"When I went to the street to get medicine, Qiandu had already posted a wanted warrant, and it is estimated that your wanted notice has already spread all over Daqian! But I guess they did not expect you to still be in Qiandu. ”

When Shangguan Jiantang heard this, a little life appeared in his eyes that were blinded by death.

"By the way, the wanted one says that you colluded with the demon clan and are the public enemy of the human race! There are also rumors that the Yijian Pavilion will expel you from the pavilion, and the Great Jin delegation is about to arrive in Qiandu to discuss the border friction between the two Koreas. ”

"I didn't collude with the demon clan! I never betrayed the human race! No!" Shangguan Jiantang's pale face flushed with excitement, and he shouted hoarsely.

Gu Fan's eyes couldn't help but flash with distress, and he said firmly to Shangguan Jiantang. "I'm sure you don't!"

Since Shangguan Jiantang ascended to the top, in the Yijian Pavilion, calling for wind and rain, the pride of the sky has no idea what setbacks are. Although he is not obsessed with being sought after by everyone, but now he has fallen to the field and fallen to the altar, and he is only taken care of by people he has never known all his life, and he can't help but feel sad about the hot and cold state of the world.

"Ahem, ahem!" Shangguan Jiantang covered his mouth with both hands, oozing traces of blood.

Gu Fan hurriedly went to the side of the bed, helped him up, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with a silk handkerchief, and then fed Shangguan Jiantang medicine one by one. Shangguan Jiantang no longer resisted, and drank in small sips, looking at the delicate face in front of him and his eyes full of worry.

The flush on Shangguan Jiantang's pale face did not fade, and in the face of Gu Fan's meticulous care, a trace of affection grew in the deepest part of his heart.

Nothing was said all night.

Early in the morning of the second day, there was a noise of scolding from the inn.

The round innkeeper scolded Gu Fan and mocked with a mean face.

"We don't have money to live in an inn! We're not a charity hall, we can't pay the money, get out of here!"

I saw the shopkeeper throw Gu Fan's bags out.

Then Gu Fan supported Shangguan Jiantang, whose injuries had not yet healed and his face was still pale, picked up his bags and walked out of the inn.

"What kind of inn, you can't be accommodating for a few days!" Gu Fan muttered, "Hey, you have silver on you, and all my savings are for you to buy medicine and rent for these two days." ”

Shangguan Jiantang never thought that the masters of the Seven Realms who came and went in the wind and rain would worry about silver, and she shook her head gently at Gu Fan.

Gu Fan glanced at Shangguan Jiantang and shook his head, secretly wondering if the peerless masters were all untainted by the ugliness of the worldly copper incense money. No, you have to look like a way to make money, there are still a few months before the academy entrance exam, don't go hungry before the exam.

Thinking about it, the two of them unconsciously walked to Suzaku Avenue.

At this time, the Suzaku Avenue, the crowd is surging, there is a ring in the center of the sea of people, the ring is arranged by the festive red, and the flag holds high the words "civil and military recruitment" Rongwangfu.

Shangguan Jiantang secretly poked Gu Fan, who was still worried about money, and pointed in the direction of the ring.

"What?" Gu Fan looked at the direction pointed by Shangguan Jiantang with a puzzled expression, and was very surprised when he looked at the crowd of people in the civil and military recruitment ring and the audience.

Pulling a group of onlookers casually, he asked. "Brother, why are there so many people in this palace's martial arts competition! How charming is this county lord? Is she one of the golden flowers in the imperial capital?"

This person looked at Gu Fan with disdain and said with disdain. "You don't even know this! Prince Rong's county lord is a well-known ugly woman in Qiandu! I heard that her legs are short, her waist is thick, and her cheekbones are high, and the prince can't get married, so she has a big competition to recruit relatives. ”

At this time, a noble son dressed as a scholar suddenly appeared beside Gu Fan, with an emerald green gold silk cloud pattern robe, shaking a folding fan in his hand, and asked unceremoniously.

"How did you know that the county lord was an ugly woman? Then why are so many people participating in the contest to recruit relatives!"

This person looked at the extraordinary clothes of the noble son, and his arrogant tone instantly softened, and said.

"That's because after the first round of recruiting relatives, there are fifty taels of silver, and the second round has fifty taels of gold! The magnates in the Qiandu don't look down on these, but they have a great attraction to frustrated scholars or talents. ”

"Really!" Gu Fan's eyes shone with a strange light.

"Of course!"

Shangguan Jiantang, who was beside him, looked at Gu Fan's excited appearance, the word "redundant" flashed in his mind, his brows furrowed secretly, and a trace of unhappiness rose in his heart.

The noble prince in a fancy costume looked at the excited Gu Fan, and did not come forward to make friends, shook his head, and shook his fan away.

He muttered.

"The frog at the bottom of the well is the same as the crowd!

Gu Fan didn't pay attention to it after hearing this, so he pulled Shangguan Jiantang like the center of the ring and squeezed it.

"Are you really going to participate in the recruitment?" Shangguan Jiantang's crisp voice sounded in Gu Fan's ears.

"If you and I hadn't gotten the money, we wouldn't have survived tonight. Gu Fan responded.

Shangguan Jiantang heard that Gu Fan was carefully calculating for the silver, and the unhappiness in his heart suddenly disappeared, and his frowning brows slowly relaxed. But he still kept hitting Gu Fan.

"No, I mean, you know how to write poetry, I don't think you can even write well with a brush!" Shangguan Jiantang questioned mercilessly.

"I... Understand a little bit .... Besides, isn't there still you" Gu Fan thought secretly, he was actually underestimated!

What made Gu Fan grit his teeth was that Shangguan Jiantang still said as if he were serious. "Then I'll make it difficult for me to help you get the bounty. ”

Finally squeezed to the front of the stage to sign up, sitting in front of the stage in a gray robe, the palace housekeeper dressed as a scholar, handed over the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and said indifferently.

"The palace recruits relatives, not everyone is qualified, if you want to participate, you have to face this alliance first, before you can enter the palace to participate in the first round of civil and military recruitment! If you don't, how can you match the county lord, the guards will throw you out!"

Gu Fan did not respond, calmly took the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and secretly said that the palace was really generous, these are all good products.

Gu Fan spread the rice paper in front of the stage, carefully polished the ink, and held the delicate wolf brush in his hand before looking at the scholar.

Shangguan Jiantang looked at Gu Fan with some surprise, feeling that he was holding the pen and his temperament had changed greatly, as if he had changed a person!

"Oh, have courage, listen, don't be thrown out later"

The gray-robed housekeeper lifted the pen and wrote, "Wangjianglou, Wangjiangliu, Wangjianglou Wangjiangliu, Jianglou is eternal, Jiangliu is eternal!"

The talented scholars who were watching around cheered one after another.

"Good link! Good words! Really amazing! The housekeeper of the palace is really capable!"

The butler smiled faintly. "This couplet is not from me, but from the hand of the county lord, the county lord has liked the style of writing since he was a child, and he has profound attainments, I don't know what this son thinks?"

Gu Fan was silent, ignoring the butler's ridicule, and Shangguan Jiantang beside him was also frowning, she knew that it was a little tricky just after reading this couplet, and even she couldn't think of a pair for a while.

Just when everyone was in deep thought, Gu Fan began to write at this time.

"Printing the moon well, printing the moon shadow, printing the moon shadow in the printing moon well, the moon well for ten thousand years, the moon shadow for ten thousand years!"

The font is majestic and atmospheric, and the pen walks the dragon and snake, and at a glance you know that you have a very high attainment in calligraphy.

Just when Gu Fan had just stopped writing, the sky suddenly darkened, and an astonishing image appeared in the air.

The moon shines on the river!

This is a kind of blessing of the Heavenly Dao, and this couplet implies the mystery of the Heavenly Dao's approval. The onlookers were fascinated by this image, and the image exuded moonlight, as if everyone's hearts were bathed.

Even Shangguan Jiantang was in the image, feeling that the broken meridians had a tendency to heal slowly.

I don't know how long it took, but the image faded away and disappeared.

"Good word! This coupling is really absolutely right!" At this time, the noble son from before came over with applause and admired.

"I'm ignorant, I had a slight misunderstanding of Childe, I hope forgive me!" said Guigongzi familiarly. "Under the surname Jia, the word is clear, I don't know the name of the son?"

A wicked smile appeared at the corner of Gu Fan's mouth, and he responded to the noble son teasingly. "Jia Gongzi! I have been looking up for a long time, I am under the surname Wen, and my name is copied from the public, I am fortunate to be lucky!"

Then Gu Fan turned to the housekeeper who was still stunned and said, "Excuse me, are you qualified to participate in the recruitment?"

The butler suddenly smiled and said. "Yes, yes!

The noble man in the costume shook his fan with a smile, looked at Gu Fan who was leaving, and muttered. "The Copyist... Interesting, interesting!"
