Chapter 187: Golden Autumn Talent Banquet
"So he's going to kill me?"
Lin Xun felt a little inexplicable. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Nope. Someone came looking for you just now, right? That is the head of our Su family, originally wanted to call you to my house, let you apologize publicly, and then forget the matter. But you refused, of course, this matter is me and I will definitely refuse, but my father thinks that you don't sell his face, and he is completely angry, and wants the family worshippers to kill you tonight. ”
Sohore said apologetically, adding at the end.
"Big brother, it's my fault from beginning to end, you can take your sister-in-law and leave quickly."
When Lin Xun heard this, he lowered his head and fell into thought.
After a while, Lin Xun raised his head again and looked at Soholei.
"I can't leave the royal city just yet."
Soho Lei jumped to his feet.
"Boss, although I don't know where you come from, maybe you also have some skills, but seriously, you better leave the royal city quickly, those worshippers in my family have the lowest strength of Dou Zong! Don't tell me you don't even pay attention to Dou Zong! ”
Lin Xun shook his head lightly.
"It's not that I don't want to leave, but if I leave the royal city at this time, I'm afraid I'll die even worse."
When Soho Lei heard Lin Xun's words, he was stunned, and then paced back and forth in the room in a hurry, and he could see that he was really in a hurry.
Lin Xun asked curiously.
"Why are you helping me?"
Soho Lei stopped and glanced at Lin Xun in some surprise, and his mood calmed down a little.
"To be honest, I don't know. Maybe we made a bet yesterday that I lost, but you let me go, instead of letting me really climb out of Jinxianglou. If it were someone else, I would hate it. But I don't know why I can't hold the slightest hatred for you. ”
Lin Xun let out a sigh of relief, and his expression finally softened a little.
"Your name is Sohore, right? If you really want to help me, then tell me which places in the royal city are the places where your family worships and does not dare to make trouble? Wherever I go to hide, it's not over. ”
Lin Xun's voice fell, and Su Holei's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Hey! That's right! I didn't think of that just now! There really is such a place! ”
"Where?"
"Chengbei!"
When Lin Xun heard this, he immediately frowned: "I heard that the north of the city is not a place where the royal family lives, and ordinary people are not allowed to enter?" ”
Su Ho Lei smiled: "This is really better than choosing a day, I can only say that the eldest brother is lucky, this city north usually does not let the people in, but today is different." Today happens to be the day when the three princes hold the Golden Autumn Talent Banquet! Ordinary people can also come over to observe and even participate. ”
"Golden Autumn Talent Banquet? What is that? ”
"We'll have to start at the beginning. The Dragon Bone Continent was originally a place that admired the strength of force, but the third prince of the Western Xia Kingdom did not like those things that fought and killed, and it may be that he was not a material for martial arts training since he was a child, so he liked the poetry and songs of those literati and ink writers very much, and he was also highly respected in the royal city. Every month on this day, the Three Princes hold a Golden Autumn Talent Banquet at Mingjing Lake in the north of the city to encourage those who do not have the talent for cultivation to learn about literature. As long as I go there, my family will never dare to do it there. ”
When Lin Xun heard this, he immediately nodded.
"Without further ado, let's get over now." Lin Xun said.
"Good!" Soho replied excitedly.
“…… What I'm saying is, I'm going with her, didn't you say you sneaked out, you go home quickly, don't let your father find out that you came to report the news. ”
After Lin Xun said this, Soho Lei suddenly wilted like a frosted eggplant. He was so excited just now that he forgot about the incident that he had sneaked out.
"Big brother, then I'll go back quickly, if I haven't been found by the family, I can still go to the Golden Autumn Talent Banquet tonight to find you." Sohore's eyes glowed again.
"Okay, let's go."
After Soho Lei left, Lin Xun kissed Jiujiu lightly on his forehead and said.
"I've worked hard for you, or I'll carry you on my back, right? Chen Yuchen hasn't informed me yet, which means that the people from the Bright Sanctuary outside the city gate haven't been evacuated yet, so we can only stay in this royal city for another day. ”
Jiujiu wanted to say that she could come down and walk by herself, but that kind of pain was something she couldn't alleviate with her fighting spirit, and her beautiful eyes glared at Lin Xun.
"It's all your fault!"
Lin Xun smiled stupidly, packed up all his things, carried Jiujiu on his back, went out of Jinxianglou to find a carriage, and went straight to Mingjing Lake in the north of the city.
What Lin Xun didn't expect was that when they arrived at Mingjing Lake, it was still ten in the evening, but there were already many people gathered around.
Mingjing Lake is a large area, the water of the lake is clear and rippling, several lotus flowers are in bloom in the lake, and there is a large pleasure boat floating on the lake, which is extremely gorgeously decorated.
Lin Xun took the opportunity to ask a thin man next to him who looked like a "literati", and after some conversation, Lin Xun roughly understood the rules of this golden autumn talent banquet.
The owner of the cruise ship in the lake is the three princes, and the three princes have already boarded the cruise ship at this time, but it will not officially begin until nightfall.
The rule of the Golden Autumn Talent Banquet is that the three princes will issue different ten questions, either to compose poems, or to compose lyrics, or to compose songs, or to make couplets.
After the question came out, everyone on the lake could answer, and whoever answered it, the third prince would send a small boat to take him to the passenger boat and feast together.
Ten questions means that ten people can board the ship.
It is said that after these ten people get on the ship, they will have a competition, until finally a golden autumn talent is selected, and a rich reward will be awarded.
After Lin Xun understood the rules clearly, he sighed, with his literary literacy, he no longer had the luxury of being able to get on the cruise ship. They came here to survive the night.
As the minutes ticked by, the sky was getting darker, and the people gathered around the lake, but most of them were actually there to see the excitement.
Finally, the sky was completely dark, and the boat moored in the middle of the lake, which was originally very ornately decorated, turned on the lights of the whole boat at this time, and it became very beautiful.
At this time, the surface of Mingjing Lake was already overcrowded, and people rubbed shoulders with each other, Lin Xun even saw that some people standing in front of him were squeezed into the lake, and at a glance, the entire lake shore was full of people.
Finally, a figure walked up to the deck from the cabin of the pleasure boat, and everyone stood on tiptoe to look, only to find that it was not the third prince, but a eunuch with a gong.
"Dang!"
I only heard the sound of a gong that shook the sky.
"Tonight's Golden Autumn Talent Banquet has officially begun!" (To be continued.) )
