Hearing this, the guard looked at Lu Chen with wide eyes, and it took a long time to come back to his senses. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 Info said with a little surprise: "You... You are Lu Chen, Lu Gongzi! ”

When he saw Lu Chen nodding, the guard hurriedly saluted, and said with a hint of awe in his eyes, "Since you are the son of Lu Chen, I can take you to find the son of Lu Yan."

Hearing the guard's words, Lu Chen couldn't help but say with some doubts, "Aren't you afraid that I'm a fake?" "After all, this guard didn't know him at all, but he just listened to his words and believed it, which is too easy to deceive.

Hearing this, he saw that this servant smiled at Lu Chen and explained, "Lu Gongzi, I'm afraid I don't know how influential you are, at least now in Chang'an City, no one dares to pretend to be you." Otherwise, once you are recognized, you will definitely be beaten, and in this Wendou competition venue, even impersonating you has no benefit. ”

Hearing this person's methodical explanation, Lu Chen glanced at him with a little surprise, and sighed in his heart, the place where the literati lived was really different from those of them who practiced martial arts, and even a guard could think about it so thoroughly.

In fact, Lu Chen didn't know that the guard beside him could be regarded as a literati who loved poetry. However, with their talents, it is simply not enough to pass the level of Daming Palace. Therefore, they can only use their positions to apply to come to this cultural fighting venue as guards to maintain order.

Led by ten, Lu Chen came to a house on the edge. Immediately after that, the guard stopped, turned to Lu Chen, and said, "Lu Yan Gongzi is here, you can go in by yourself, the little one will retreat first" After speaking, the guard turned around and walked back.

Lu Chen glanced at the house in front of him, raised his feet and walked in. As soon as he walked in the door, he saw two more guards standing there. Without waiting for the two of them to speak, Lu Chen immediately arched his hand and said, "May I ask where Lu Yan's room is?" ”

Because it wasn't until Lu Chen walked in, he found that it was divided into small rooms, and in this big house, there were probably more than a dozen small rooms, and Lu Chen couldn't knock on the door one by one to ask.

Hearing Lu Chen's inquiry, one of the guards asked with some uncertainty, "May I ask if you are Lu Chen's son?" ”

Lu Chen nodded again, seeing this, the guard immediately said respectfully, "Please come with me" After speaking, he walked straight towards a house, and Lu Chen followed closely behind him. But when the guard walked to one of the small rooms, he first knocked lightly on the door and said softly, "Is Young Master Lu Yan here?" Mr. Lu Chen came to visit"

As soon as the guard finished speaking, he heard a slightly tired voice from inside, "Come in"

Hearing this, the guard made a gesture to Lu Chen to invite him in, and returned to the door to continue to stand guard.

Lu Chen pushed open the door and walked in, but what greeted him was a mess. The small room was simple, a bed, a table, and two chairs, basically all of that. In addition to these, there were only a few waste papers left in the paper baskets, and the books on the table, and Lu Yan was sitting at the table at the moment looking at the books intently, and his hair looked extremely fluffy.

After seeing Lu Chen come in, Lu Yan gently closed the book, looked at Lu Chen with a tired face, and said, "Second brother is here, this place is a little messy, you just find a place to sit down"

Looking at Lu Yan's haggard appearance, Lu Chen said with some worry, "Big brother, don't be so desperate. If you break your body, it's not worth it."

Hearing Lu Chen's advice, he saw that Lu Yan said helplessly, "You don't know how fierce the competition is this year!" Not long ago, it was estimated that the number of people participating in this year's cultural fight may be more than double that of last year. Moreover, it is said that some geniuses who have already become famous have also come to Chang'an City, obviously to participate in this competition. ”

After hearing his eldest brother's words, Lu Chen briefly asked a few words and then offered his farewell. After knowing that the competition was so fierce this time, Lu Chen didn't want to bother his eldest brother anymore.

It wasn't until Lu Chen was about to walk out of the door that Lu Yan suddenly thought of something, and asked with some shock, "You came in after passing the test in the front hall?" ”

Lu Chen nodded and said, "Yes, I just wrote a random poem there, and then came in, is there anything wrong?" ”

Looking at Lu Chen, who took it for granted, Lu Yan was stunned for a long time, and then said slowly, "You kid is really a waste of talent if you don't follow the literature, do you know, it was that level that stopped nearly two-thirds of the literati!" ”

Hearing Lu Yan's explanation, Lu Chen had an intuitive understanding of the difficulty of that test. After all, he just plagiarized other people's poems, so he didn't feel the difficulty of what Lu Yan said at all.

When leaving, Lu Chen asked Li Xinran where she was in the house, but when she saw it, Lu Yan thought about it for a while, and finally shook his head helplessly. Since he came here, he has been staying in the small room and constantly reciting books such as "Jinshi" and "Ming Jing". Naturally, I don't know where other people's rooms are.

After Lu Chen came out of the room, he found the two guards at the door and asked them about Li Xinran's room, but they also didn't get an answer. Obviously, Li Xinran did not have the previous fame among the literati. It's understandable to think about it, after all, with Li Xinran's literary skills, whether she can pass the previous test is two words.

Of course, as the young daughter of the hussar general, even if she didn't pass that test, she could have come in through the back door. Therefore, Lu Chen had no doubt that Li Xinran was blocked out.

Although the two guards didn't want to know, they asked Lu Chen to go to the registered place to take a look. Following the guidance of the two guards just now, Lu Chen walked towards a palace on the other side. Because, if you want to occupy a hut here, you have to go to that palace to register. Therefore, as long as Li Xinran lives here, Lu Chen will definitely be able to find it from there.

When I came to the palace on the very edge, I saw a long queue inside, obviously a literati who had just come to this Daming Palace, applying for a room.

Lu Chen stepped forward and said that he wanted to find someone. Seeing that it was Lu Chen, the few people in charge of registration naturally did not dare to slack off. However, they didn't show the registered paper to Lu Chen, but just asked for the name to help him find it, after all, this paper recorded all the literati who lived here, and this thing must not be exposed.

When Lu Chen reported Li Xinran's name, he quickly found it. The main reason is that there are few girls who came to participate in the Wendou, because the concept of male superiority and inferiority of women in the Tang Dynasty had a great impact, even after Wu Zetian came to power, there was a slight impact on this concept, but it did not have much effect.

There has always been a belief among the people that 'a woman is virtuous if she is not talented', and Li Xinran is able to learn martial arts because of her special status. What's more, the women of those big families are basically studying female celebrities seriously at home, and few of them are outside.

After learning about Li Xinran's residence, Lu Chen stopped staying and turned around towards Li Xinran's residence.
