Speaking of dreams, put yesterday, Xu Mingyuan definitely said without hesitation: "Walk the rivers and lakes with a sword, get drunk and lie on the knees of beauties, drink the most mellow wine, and sleep with the most beautiful heroine." ”

But today he was defeated again in the hands of Zeng Qingyi's little goblin, and he couldn't even beat a girl who had never seen anything in the world, Xu Mingyuan had deep doubts about whether he could sleep with the most beautiful woman, so much so that even the dream that had been brewing since he was eight years old began to waver.

Although there is still a sword Wentian that he learned from Li Taibai, even Xu Mingyuan himself does not believe that he can understand that sword before Zeng Qingyi, it seems that there is no way to get rid of the clutches of that little goblin in this life.

Although Xu Mingyuan still has a lot of obsession with the rivers and lakes, but after staying in the academy for a day today, Xu Mingyuan found that there are opportunities to make money everywhere in the academy.

There is a reward for the first debate, and there are still bets to be offered to Xiaopang and Xiaobai, and if Qiu Yu also wins the first place in two months, those high-ranking and wealthy businessmen will definitely not be less. Xu Mingyuan even thought about how much money he would have if he won the first place in the world on that day.

When it comes to money, Xu Mingyuan really likes it, half of it is because he hasn't learned his master's face and clever mouth when he was a child, and he has experienced the days of eating the last meal without the next meal; The other half is the resentment accumulated by his master and apprentice when they have money, and his master spends money indiscriminately, always thinking that he can secretly hide some private money, but his master always steals it to buy wine and drink.

So when Xu Mingyuan found out that the imperial examination could make a lot of money easily and quickly, he was frustrated before he entered the rivers and lakes, and suddenly felt that if he could enter the imperial examination, mix with a sesame petty official, be greedy for small profits, and marry a beautiful daughter-in-law, this kind of life seems to be good.

So Xu Mingyuan thought about it seriously before he spoke: "Don't talk about it, first take the first debate in three days, and then take the first place in the solution, and finally go to Chang'an to try, maybe His Majesty the Emperor who sits in the Taiming Palace will be rewarded with a champion." Of course, if I have the opportunity, I also want to go to the real rivers and lakes to see if it is really as happy as written in the book. ”

"Lianzhong Sanyuan Da Dengke, Brother Yuan is really ambitious, and even Bai Molou doesn't dare to say that he wants to be the champion of the world's scholars." Zhou Binjie gave a thumbs up and said with a smile: "Of course, if Brother Yuan can accept Zeng Qingyi's female devil and let her stop coming out to harm people, I promise that you will be given a big red envelope of 10,000 yuan when you two get married." ”

Bai Molou looked at Xu Mingyuan and drank all the wine in his cup in one gulp, but surprisingly did not say sarcasm.

"Ten thousand, ah......" Xu Mingyuan raised his head slightly, seriously considered the huge bait thrown by Zhou Binjie for a while, and finally shook his head and said: "If you have a life, you have to be blessed, if I can beat that little goblin one day, I can think about it." ”

"The Zeng family is not simple in the court, not to mention that the dean Zeng was the official to the door, that is, Zeng Qingyi's father is also the secretary of the current ministry. If you can really become the son-in-law of the Zeng family, let alone be a sesame petty official, it will not take a few years to go straight to the center of the court. Bai Molou said a little teasingly.

"Tsk, it turns out that the little goblin's family background is so powerful." Xu Mingyuan shook his head and sighed. He knew that Master Zeng was a double tan, but he really didn't know that their father and son had such influence in the court, no matter how he looked at Zeng Qingyi's little goblin, he didn't look like everyone's ladies.

Xu Mingyuan looked at Bai Molou, his eyes suddenly lit up, he squeezed his eyebrows at Bai Molou and said with a smile: "Xiaobai, you have not been bullied by Zeng Qingyi's little goblin, right?" If you want to talk about martial arts, with your little arms and thin legs, she can lift you to the ground without three points of strength. If you want to talk about family background, your Bai family is still three points weaker than the Zeng family. ”

Bai Molou was drinking, and when he heard Xu Mingyuan's words, his face turned red, he choked on the wine, and coughed violently.

Zhou Binjie saw Bai Molou's appearance, and he also smiled: "It's not, his father is my uncle and Zeng Shangshu are still close friends, I have seen a few times that Bai Molou didn't dare to come out in front of the female devil, and it was no better than me." ”

"Hmph." Bai Molou's cough calmed down a little, snorted coldly, and took a sip of the wine glass.

Xu Mingyuan laughed, very considerately and poured wine glasses for Bai Molou. In this way, the three people who were bullied by Zeng Qingyi's little goblin drank a few pots of wine again, and they were not ready to leave until the three of them were almost drunk.

Xu Mingyuan asked the little second to wrap a roast chicken and a plate of sauced beef that had not been touched on the table in oiled paper, and then poured all the leftover wine from the wine jug on the table into the wine gourd.

Looking at Zhou Binjie and Bai Molou's puzzled eyes, Xu Mingyuan raised the packaged food tied with a string in his hand, and sighed: "There is still a master on the mountain who is waiting to be fed, it is better to feed him if this wine and food is wasted." ”

Zhou Binjie was already a little drunk, hugged Xu Mingyuan's shoulder, and said drunkly: "Brother Yuan, your master must also be a wonderful person, when will you have time to meet your master." By the way, where do you live? My carriage is waiting downstairs, and I'll take you back." ”

"The west gate is out of the city, there is a rice cang mountain to the west, I live in the Taoist temple on the mountain, if you want to see my master, bring two pots of good wine up the mountain, he will definitely like you."

Xu Mingyuan smiled and waved his hand and continued: "You don't need to send it if you live in Beicheng, I'll take Xiaobai's carriage to Xicheng and walk back by myself." You two have never seen my light work of going down the mountain, and your legs and feet are numb. ”

"Okay, we'll see you tomorrow." When Zhou Binjie heard this, he didn't insist, he went downstairs and got into his own wide carriage, and the coachman slowly drove away as soon as he raised his horsewhip.

Xu Mingyuan helped the somewhat shaky Baimo Lou downstairs, and as soon as he went out, a middle-aged man in a black power suit stepped forward, stretched out his hand to support the Baimo Building, glanced at Xu Mingyuan, and called softly: "Young Master." ”

Bai Molou waved his hand, turned his head to look at Xu Mingyuan and said, "Get in the car." ”

Xu Mingyuan glanced at the coachman, there was a scar on his face, his eyes were sharp, his standing posture was straight, and his hands were calloused, he should be a good hand at using knives in the army.

This kind of good hand who has experienced the baptism of blood and water in the army, the real strength should not be underestimated, and when the grade is the same, it is definitely a master who is familiar with the killing art in the army.

Although Xu Mingyuan has not touched anyone over the years, his eyes are very sharp by his master. In his master's words, before he started, he had to know if he could beat it, and if he could beat it, then he didn't need to talk nonsense, he would fight first. If you can't beat it, you have to think about how to run, anyway, if you can drag it, you can drag it, and if you can't drag it, you can run.

Xu Mingyuan only glanced at it, and knew that this coachman was not something he could deal with, at least he was a master of the third grade, and he was quite angry, and his hands must have been stained with a lot of blood.

Xu Mingyuan quietly followed Bai Molou into the carriage, Bai Molou doesn't know martial arts, with the Bai family's family background, it is actually nothing to let such a good man in the army be a coachman for Bai Molou.

The black-clothed coachman waved his whip, and two tall horses pulled the carriage on the smooth road running smoothly, although there were many pedestrians on the road, but the speed of the carriage was not slow at all, which showed the high skill of the coachman.

Xu Mingyuan and Bai Molou talked intermittently, and Bai Molou also told Xu Mingyuan some things about the imperial examination, which were more detailed and easier to understand than those recorded in the book, which benefited Xu Mingyuan a lot.

And Xu Mingyuan also asked the coachman, Bai Molou said that it was arranged by his father, and he had been by his side since he was a child, which verified Xu Mingyuan's opinion.

When the carriage arrived at the West City Gate, Xu Mingyuan got out of the car, Bai Molou waved his hand, and the carriage left.

Xu Mingyuan entered the academy today, although there were some twists and turns, but he also made two friends, Zhou Binjie and Bai Molou. Zhou Binjie is enthusiastic and pure-hearted, and Baimo is cold and hot-hearted, and they are all people who can be friends.

Xu Mingyuan carried two packs of food, with a wine gourd hanging from his waist, and watched the carriage with a simple appearance and exquisite interior leave, and also turned around and walked towards the city gate.

Summer evenings always came later, and although the three of them had drunk a lot, it was just getting dark. Xu Mingyuan trotted to the city gate, smiled and said a few words to the soldier who was closing the city gate, and then walked out of the city sideways through the crack in the door.

When Xu Mingyuan arrived at the foot of Micang Mountain, the bright moonlight sprinkled on the bluestone path, accompanied by the sound of fine insects, made people feel calm. He took a light breath and began to climb the mountain.

He didn't know how many times he had climbed this Micang Mountain since he was a child, and ordinary people had to rest on the trail three or four times, and he could climb to the top in one breath.

A quarter of an hour later, Xu Mingyuan climbed to the top of the mountain, sat on the stone under the old pine that had been struck by lightning, put down the things in his hand, and shouted loudly at the Taoist temple: "Master, the wine and food are here, if you don't come again, I will finish eating." ”

The Taoist temple is nameless, the words on the plaque at the main entrance have long been erased by the wind and rain, and the master and apprentice have no idea of renaming each other.

In addition to a small main hall, there are two rooms and a kitchen at the back.

As soon as Xu Mingyuan's words fell, a black shadow rushed out of the Taoist temple, and with a probe of his hand, he snatched the wine gourd and food in Xu Mingyuan's hand, and then kicked him out and sat on the stone himself.

Xu Mingyuan patted his ass and stood up, looked at the master who was sitting under the tree and pouring wine with his head up, grinded his teeth, and said with some indignation: "Master, I brought you back all the good wine and food, and you still kicked me." ”

Lao Dao Qingxuan burped, looked up at Xu Mingyuan, and said with a smile: "This is just such a place to sit, if you don't kick you, where will I sit." But this wine is really good wine, Jiannan Burning Spring, which has been cellared for more than ten years, where did you get it? ”

Xu Mingyuan rolled his eyes, moved a bamboo chair to sit opposite Qingxuan, looked at the master who was gnawing on a chicken leg, and asked with some doubts: "Master, we met that old man Li in Beili, is it really Li Taibai, the poetry and sword immortal?" ”

Qingxuan picked up the gourd and took two more sips, looked at the whip marks that were still faintly visible on Xu Mingyuan's face, and said with a smile: "You were beaten by Zeng Yatou again." ”
