Chapter Thirty-Eight: What Is This Thing About?
In the pavilion.
The crossbow man visited Gou Thorn Shi, "Lord Thorn Shi, I don't know what you called Xiao Dao to call for something." ”
Gou Buxuan got up, his eyes stared, and he looked at the trail. Then, he said with a smile: "Xiao Zhenren's 'Hundred Birds and Phoenix' can be described as the best on the spot." Gou couldn't imagine that the son of the general who protected the country still had such ability, he was really ashamed, ashamed..."Gou Tingshi's tone carried a hint of intriguing.
A few people next to him also heard what Gou Tingshi said, and they were naturally quite shocked, just by the deeds of Crossbow Qing back then, Yan Li didn't know anyone. It's just that after such a long time, many people have forgotten about it. Now that it has been mentioned, the reason why Lord Thorn Shi insisted on letting this trail advance is clear.
The crossbow man suddenly understood that Master Thorn Shi was guessing his identity, but he was not sure, so he called him to come and see him. He replied with a smile, "I'm afraid that Lord Thorn Shi is mistaken, Xiaodao is just a nobody who leaves the rivers and lakes, what is the son of the general who protects the country..."
Gou Buxun was dumbfounded, thinking that he was afraid that he had guessed wrong. Hurriedly asked: "Then why is the name of the little real person almost the same as the son of the general, only the word 'er' is missing."
When the crossbow man heard this, his feelings were caused by his name, and he replied: "How can the adult ask like this, the surname Yan Li's crossbow is originally a big surname, and there are even more people with the same name, there must be many people with the same name as the general, not to mention the son of a great general." ”
When the crossbow man said this, his heart was actually very empty, but he still tried his best to pretend to be natural.
Gou didn't want to find it, but he didn't want to ask more, thinking that if he really made a mistake for himself, most of the black gauze hat on his head would not be able to keep it. smiled a little helplessly: "What Xiao Zhenren said is good, the surname of the crossbow is indeed the surname of Yan Li." It's because the adults didn't think about it well, and after seeing your name, it was inevitable that they would connect you with the son of the general, so they wanted to ask. Now that it has been made clear, Xiao Zhenren will go down first to prepare for the assessment of the little girl. ”
The crossbowman retired, and there was a false alarm.
In fact, since he left the city twice, he planned to hide his true identity. Even Brother Xiao only knows that he is called a crossbowman, not a crossbowman. But even if he really said it, presumably with Brother Xiao's personality and temperament, he would only treat him as empty words, so there is no difference between saying it and not saying it, and there is no question of being honest or not.
But he could see the kind of loss and regret of Gou Thorn Shi. Leave it to others to guess why. As a person in the rivers and lakes, who doesn't want others to know the secrets in their hearts.
When the crossbowman found Brother Xiao and Old Man Murong, a group of knights were surrounding the two of them, listening intently to the old man "blowing his beard and glaring".
He didn't want to interrupt, so he quietly leaned over. It didn't matter what he heard, it almost made him spit out old blood. I didn't expect this old man to be the merry and merry master, and he really smelled the same...
There was a sound on the stage, and among the people surrounding the two, someone said: "Look, everyone, the summoner is on stage." ”
When several people heard this, they saw that the call official on the stage had already taken the stage with a piece of rice paper. He coughed deliberately a few times and said, "Everyone, everyone... The second round of assessment has officially begun. Since no one can pass the chess game, the ranking here is based on the sum of the results of the other three items. The heroes who asked me to read the names took the stage, and the third lady will be there later. ”
As he spoke, the summons officer opened the rice paper and raised his voice:
"Luke, the first and third Qingcheng on the list, reached the top with the piano and the book, and the painting post also ranked third on the painting list."
A white-clothed swordsman swept up the high platform from a certain crowd, attracting countless cheers and cheers from the crowd. There are both men and women, and it should be well deserved.
"Zheng Qichang, the youngest son of the Zheng family of the National Pavilion, ranked second on their respective lists with piano, calligraphy, and painting, and temporarily ranked second on the red list."
Zheng Qichang walked onto the stage with a displeased expression, probably thinking that he shouldn't just be the second on the list.
Bao Thorn Shi in the pavilion in the south heard that the person he arranged was only the second on the list, and he had already looked at the person who was looking comfortable on the other side.
"Yang Li, the third in the South Cloud City, is ranked third on the list with books and paintings."
The crowd suddenly moved out of the way, and it was a heroic man. He walked slowly onto the stage, but there seemed to be a whirlwind under his feet, forcing the people around him not to approach. Although the crowd does not know the specific origin of this person, a person from Nanyun Capital, like him, is not a prince and general, or a prince and a relative.
After the man took the stage, he didn't have any intention of greeting the two people next to him, he was very cold, but he still smiled slightly at Gou Tingshi, who was sitting in the pavilion.
Gou Tingshi nodded, moving slowly, no one noticed, so as not to suspect others.
"Bang 4 Hanzhou Hutong..."
"Bang 5 Beishan County Zhang drunk..."
"List 6 Fuzhou He Huan..."
"List Seven Yu Prefecture Shi Ren..."
"The eighth northern tyrant on the list is known to be strong..."
"Bangjiu Luonan County Bao Yu..."
After saying this, the summoner's voice has not changed. When it came to the last person, he was a little embarrassed, looked at the audience, and finally fixed his gaze on the green-robed path, took a breath, and said:
"The top ten Yan is one of the mountain trails - a crossbowman."
This short and shabby introduction also caused a sigh from the crowd, and most people thought that they had seen the so-called "everyone's painting".
There are also a few voices that are uneven:
"Lao Tzu is not convinced, how can this little real person be a mountain trail."
"Damn, Xiao Zhenren's paintings are at the top of the list, but the red list is the last place, so I am troublesome to say."
……
Of course, most of the people who said these words were the people who surrounded Brother Xiao and Old Man Murong just now.
The crossbowman was pushed onto the stage by Brother Xiao, who had already noticed his return, and the old man Murong next to him also quipped: "Crossbow boy, old man, I am optimistic about you, I have to be angry with those guys who don't have long eyes..."
The crossbowman appeared on the stage in embarrassment, standing at the end of several people on the stage, his face full of sorrow.
After seeing that the ten people were gathered, he continued: "The third lady said before that she wanted to choose one of the other participants she liked, but she didn't find it, so this round of competition was selected by ten people on the stage. "I invite the third lady to come to the stage."
The crowd in the audience was jubilant, and finally waited for the next good show.
Gou Su slowly stepped onto the stage, Lan lightly held the embroidered silk between his fingers, and several maids behind him carried the assessment items for him.
She stood in front of the ten people, bowed her knees, and said, "The little girl has already said the rules of this round of assessment, you can come and try it in no particular order." ”
Some of the ten people began to hesitate to be the first, and some were very bold and stepped out with one step.
"In Xiabeiba, I am a hero, the third lady, please ask the question."
It was the big man on the eighth list who spoke.
Gou Su smiled slightly, and said, "Brother Jiu Wenxiong's prestige in my Beiba, it seems that today it is not weaker than the heroes of other realms. The little woman asked the eldest brother, what is a hero? ”
Dahan scratched his head and grinned, "Third Miss, this is the exam question that has been calculated." Seeing Gou Su nodding, he continued: "The heroes of the rivers and lakes are nothing more than being in the rivers and lakes, acting chivalrous and righteous, eating meat and drinking wine. Regard your brother as your own and your wife and children as your most important. If you regard your home as a person in the rivers and lakes, then as a person in the rivers and lakes, everyone can be called a hero. ”
Dahan's answer won the applause of the audience. Gou Su smiled after hearing this, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "Congratulations to Brother Xiong for advancing to the next round, please come to my official ship to rest for a while." ”
After saying that, a maid boarded the ship with the big man.
"In Shiren, Xiayu Prefecture, please ask the third lady to ask the question." Then, the second person walked out.
Hearing this, Gou Su said calmly: "Please Brother Shi draw the appearance of a little woman in ten breaths." Immediately, the maid behind her put pen and ink on the paper, and a guard brought the desk.
Shi Ren frowned, glanced at Gou Su, thought for a moment, and made a picture on the paper as quickly as possible.
The maid lifted the finished painting to Gou Su's eyes, and after only a few seconds, she shook her head and said, "The charm of the person painted by Brother Shi is still there, and it is very good to come to the painting." But the problem lies in Shen Yun, because the little woman will not have this kind of Shen Yun, it seems that you and I have no fate, I hope Brother Shi will not lose the woman with this Shen Yun. ”
Shi Ren's face turned red, and he hugged his fist at Gou Su and said: "The third miss shows her demeanor, Shi is convinced, I hope that the third miss will choose Ruyi Langjun, and she will definitely go to congratulate her when the time comes." After speaking, he left the stage, his back was a little lonely, but his eyes were extremely firm.
Next, they were on the list of fourth, fifth, and sixth, among them, Hutong was defeated with no emotion; Zhang Zui regretted leaving the scene with no clear goal in the poem; He Huan couldn't answer directly, and left in embarrassment.
I didn't see the top three people on the list come forward to answer, and someone in the crowd began to heckle.
"The brothers of the first three are not cowardly."
"The old man seems to have no ink in his stomach."
"What Brother Murong said, you have to look at my brother more."
……
The crossbowman heard calluses in his ears, he didn't care, just watching a play on stage is better than watching a play offstage.
"Before Sanqing Luke, please teach Miss San."
Seeing that no one stepped forward, the first swordsman spoke. There was a woman's scream from the audience, which nymphomaniac was sick again.
Gou Su's eyes moved, he thought for a moment, and said: "Master Lu, Sanqing City is the capital of swordsmen, and it does not belong to the territory of Yanli. It is very famous among the easternmost East Lake countries, why did Gongzi come to Yanli, and why did he board this stage. ”
Gou Su can be described as knowledgeable. is not the kind of shallow woman who sits alone in the boudoir and doesn't listen to foreign affairs.
When the swordsman heard this, he immediately looked up to this woman. replied: "The third lady asked Lu why he came to Yanli, it was because Yanli was located in the center of the southeast, northwest and northwest countries. Although it has just risen for a hundred years, it has outstanding people and simple folk customs. It is a treasure coveted by people in the rivers and lakes of all countries. Luke sighed, "The third lady asked Lu why he was on stage again, it was because since some things have been encountered, they should not be missed, such as love." ”
Gou Su was a little moved, and wanted to ask another question, but found that what he asked had already deviated from what he wanted to ask. After making a gesture of please, the swordsman boarded the ship and departed.
Someone in the audience screamed, because which had already been fascinated by the swordsman.
Zheng Qichang saw that two people had boarded the ship, and suddenly asked for advice.
As expected, Zheng Qichang passed smoothly.
And Yang Li, who was third on the list, went to the bow of the boat after answering the questions smoothly.
The crossbowman had already seen enough of the excitement, and was about to step forward, when a voice sounded, "Bao Yu, please teach the third lady." ”
Gou Su already had a snack ape, probably because the time had dragged on for a long time, and replied casually: "Bao Xiashi, the little woman has a question about some piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, I wonder if you can answer it?" ”
Bao Yu nodded and signaled that she could just ask.
"Little girl, please ask Bao Xiashi, if..." Gou Su didn't finish asking, and an angry curse resounded on the banks of the Huishui River.
"Bao thief, you die for the old lady..."
A muscular woman in a hat leaped over the crowd.
How dare Bao Xia Shi stay, plunged into the Huishui River, and disappeared. The woman scolded two more sentences and landed on the high platform. Surrounded by guards, the woman uncovered the corner of her hat in front of Gou Su.
When Gou Su looked at the woman's face, a smile appeared on his face, and he waved his hand to signal the guards to retreat. Pulling the woman to the pavilion behind the screen...
The people in the audience originally thought that this son-in-law was really getting more and more lively, and there were actually people who cut off their beards. Everyone is like a chicken blood, waiting for the next development of the situation with wide eyes, who thinks that the plot is not as they think, so they can't wait to be that Bao chivalrous warrior, standing on the stage and scolding the stage.
I almost forgot our Bao Stab Shi family, and at this time, Bao Mou had 10,000 sentences in his heart, "I laughed to death" and wanted to say to the person opposite.
Gou Tingshi sat in the pavilion without saying a word, drinking stuffy tea, and the ladies next to him did not dare to speak.
There was also a stunned trail on the stage, which was probably forgotten by everyone. After standing on the spot and touching his buttocks, he sat down with his buttocks, and his face twitched ugly.
He was helpless in his heart, what is this called, why is it always me who is hurt!!
