"Youran, don't worry, this time I will make Xie Qingyu pay the price for Youruo's death!" When Lu Zhuyue saw that Xie Youran hated Xie Qingyu so much, she hated Xie Qingyu even more in her heart.

You Ruo must have been designed by Xie Qingyu and lost his life!

She grew up with Youran since she was a child, and if she followed the two of them all day long, she had long regarded Youruo as her own sister, and now that Youran said this, how could she not help.

Yongning Annex.

——

"Chengyu Shizi, Yanjing has been a little unpeaceful recently, how come the secret guards around you in the past haven't seen it today." Yun Jinyu said with great concern to Nangong Chengyu, who was writing.

"What is the situation in the capital, you don't know, now that the emperor is old, the princes are ambitious, although you are a prince of Wu'an, although you are the object they want to woo, but this time it is different, my father asked me to return to Beijing for this matter."

After a long time, Nangong Chengyu didn't have the slightest sign of paying attention to Yun Jinyu, he just lowered his head and wrote the words in his hand, but what he wrote were all the poems that Xie Qingyu had copied before.

"You also know that none of these princes are fuel-efficient lamps, and I don't want to say anything, you should be more careful yourself, if those secret guards don't have anything important, they will be sent back." Yun Jinyu seemed to have become accustomed to Nangong Chengyu's quiet personality, so he said it to himself.

During this period of time, he was not in Jiangnan because of the turbulent situation in the court, and his father temporarily transferred him back to preside over the overall situation.

Seeing that Nangong Chengyu still looked so indifferent, he shook his head and turned around and left.

Nangong Chengyu has always had his own ideas, and now he has reminded him in place, this time the princes are bound to win, the prince of Wu'an Hou is not only the prince of Wu'an Hou, but also holds the military power, if you can't get it, it will naturally be destroyed, which will make people feel at ease.

Examination Institute.

——

Xie Qingyu and Qin Zixuan went back to the examination hall to rest after eating.

After a few days of practice, Xie Qingyu was already physically and mentally exhausted, and she was able to accompany Qin Zixuan to the casino today, but she had exhausted all her strength, and as soon as she touched the bed, she fell asleep after a while.

By the time she woke up, it was already early the next morning, and she was ready to go out to eat after a casual wash.

As soon as I got out of the room, I saw a familiar figure, sitting in a corner of the examination room.

The man was wearing a dark gold brocade power suit, with a beautiful blue treasure pattern belt tied around his waist, and his long flowing hair was all tied behind him by the jade crown, and a pair of unfathomable eyes were staring meaningfully at the scene when Xie Qingyu had just gotten up.

This person is Nangong Chengyu, who has not been seen for a few days.

Xie Qingyu also didn't expect Nangong Chengyu to appear in the examination institute, and it looked as if he was waiting for him.

Thinking of this, Xie Qingyu took the opportunity to sit opposite Nangong Chengyu, poured himself a cup of tea, and said.

"I don't know why Pei Gongzi is here?"

Now, although there are not as many people in the examination hall as before, the only candidates who live in this examination hall are now her and Qin Zixuan.

However, it is still inconvenient to reveal the identity of His Royal Highness the Prince, because after all, although there are candidates in the examination institute, it will also entertain other guests for dinner.

"Come with me somewhere today."

After finishing speaking, Nangong Chengyu raised his feet and left, and Xie Qingyu's sip of tea had not yet had time to drink into his mouth.

hurriedly got up and went out with Nangong Chengyu.

Xie Qingyu didn't know why Nangong Chengyu would come to find him today, but since His Royal Highness Lao Shizi could come out in person, things must be unusual.

Nangong Chengyu was originally a very fast pace, but after leaving the gate of the examination institute, he slowed down, and the two of them walked around Gusu City as if they were sightseeing.

Xie Qingyu's fatigue for a few days had already fallen asleep after last night's sleep.

And the first few times she hid something in her heart, she often didn't play well, but now she and Qin Zixuan have already made full preparations for the last round of ritual exams, and she is not afraid of anything now.

I just want to finish the exam early and be by my mother's side.

Thinking that he was about to return to Jiangning, Xie Qingyu's mood also became much more relaxed, and he saw many fresh things in the market along the way, and his peach blossom eyes were also full of curiosity.

"Boss, how do you sell this?"

When Xie Qingyu walked with Nangong Chengyu, he was suddenly attracted by a glimmering wooden hairpin.

Although this hairpin is carved from wood, it is hollowed out inside, and the pattern is very good-looking.

"The girl has good eyesight, this is the old man found agarwood in the mountains and carved it for five days to carve it, and this wood smells like nothing, you see."

The seller of pearl hairpins is an old man, and there is no shortage of combs and other supplies for his daughter's family on the stall.

As he spoke, the old man handed the hairpin to Xie Qingyu, and motioned for her to put it on the tip of her nose to smell if it really had the aroma of wood.

Xie Qingyu just wanted to take it, but Nangong Chengyu took the lead for a while.

Nangong Chengyu walked to Xie Qingyu's side for some time, only to see him reach out and take the hairpin, put it in his hand and take a look at it.

Then he seemed to inadvertently approach Xie Qingyu's cloud temples with both hands, and directly inserted the hairpin in his hand, but a pair of narrow eyes flashed a dangerous light at the corner not far behind him.

"Ten taels of silver don't need to be found."

Then he gave five taels of silver directly from his waist, and pulled Xie Qingyu and quickly left the market.

Xie Qingyu was still a little shy because Nangong Chengyu suddenly inserted a pearl hairpin into herself, but before she could react, she was pushed by Nangong Chengyu and walked far away.

The two soon came to a restaurant that looked like a bustling neighborhood.

Xie Qingyu didn't know what the reason was, but he also followed Nangong Chengyu and walked in.

This restaurant is called Xunyang Building, and it is also a very famous restaurant in Gusu, but Xie Qingyu has never had the opportunity to come here, and the goals are very clear before, like what kind of restaurants sell poetry, most of them will enter her eyes.

And the scenery of Qingfeng Tower is piled up by her with a poem, so Xunyang Tower is a real scenic spot with cultural heritage.

Xunyanglou is highly respected by literati and scholars, and its status in the south of the Yangtze River is also quite high.

Its exterior is a three-storey attic, because it is not far from the bazaar, closer to the Taihu Lake, so there are not a few pedestrians passing by.

The blue bricks and green tiles on the top of Xunyang Building, the stone base cornices, antique, the four corners are slightly warped, like the wings of the big peng, and there is an omen of volley.

There is a wooden plaque hanging in the middle of the upper floor, and there are three big characters of dragon flying and phoenix dancing in the book Xunyang Building.

The vermilion pavilion pillars and blue-gray walls all tell the different customs of the south of the Yangtze River, unlike other buildings that focus on the brilliance of gold, but have a little more of the soft feeling of the water town.

The two entered directly, and the inside was very prosperous, and the guests in the hall on the first floor were drinking and chanting poetry at the moment, and they were very happy.

The interior is a bit different from the outside, with whitewashed walls and stairs leading to the upper floors on either side of the hall.

The vermilion lacquer doors of each room upstairs are hidden, because the Xunyang Building is very large, and each private room upstairs occupies a very large area, and the last room is at the front of the stairs in a wrapping way.

"Two guest officers, what do you want to eat today?"

The little two in the store saw that the two of them were dressed extraordinarily and looked even better, so they hurriedly greeted them attentively.

Although there were a lot of young talents in their building before, it was the first time he had seen the two of them so right.

"Let someone sit down first." Xie Qingyu looked at the very attentive shopkeeper at the moment and said.

Nangong Chengyu hasn't talked to him about her since he bought the hairpin, he just dragged himself to this place, and he didn't know what was going on, everything was too weird today.

Nangong Chengyu took the initiative to come to her, and just bought a hairpin for her, obviously the hairpin was not worth ten taels of silver, and when she wanted to go back with her uncle, Nangong Chengyu took her hand directly and walked forward.

Ten taels of silver! Nangong Chengyu is really a loser, how can a wooden hairpin be worth so much money.

Then the two followed the shopkeeper upstairs, Xie Qingyu pushed the door and saw that the private rooms in Xunyang Building were larger than the rooms he lived in the examination hall, and they were even more luxurious.

The house is fully furnished, except for the lack of beds, it can be said to be a very complete small courtyard alone.

The dining table dedicated to eating is also thoughtfully equipped with pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and various books are placed on it, so that people can have something to do while waiting for the food.

If the scenery seen by Qingfeng Tower is the afterglow of the sunset, then the Sunrise is seen by Xunyang Tower.

After Xie Qingyu ordered a few dishes casually, he wanted to ask Nangong Chengyu what was the matter with her today.

Just as the two were talking, several exaggeratedly dressed men suddenly broke into the downstairs, led by men with a scar near their eyes, each holding a sword, with a bad face.

"Where did the man and woman enter?" A dog-legged man next to the scar man received the boss's instructions, and directly grabbed the collar of the shopkeeper and threatened.

"Xiao Wu, how do I tell you on weekdays, be kind to others." Scarface listened to the dog's words at this moment, his face flashed with a hint of displeasure, and he took the dog's hand down, turned to the shopkeeper and said.

"This little brother, that person is our little sister who was a little disobedient and ran away, and now we are looking for her to go home."

The shopkeeper was already extremely scared at the moment, and pointed slightly to the place where Fang had just taken Xie Qingyu and Nangong Chengyu up.

"That being the case, thank you for today." The scar man patted the shopkeeper's shoulder slightly and said.

Then several people walked directly to the second floor, and just wanted to raise their feet and push the door to go straight in.

Squeak!

I could only hear the door of the private room next door creaking.

Everyone's eyes were cast over, only to see a few people in white robes who came out, and their faces were also full of murderous intent looking at the position of the scar man.

"Brother Tiger, could it be that these people have the same purpose as us?" The man in the robe, who was standing next to Scarface, said to Scar Man slightly sideways.

At this moment, Zhao Hu also had some doubts in his heart, the killers would not recognize the wrong person, as long as they met, they could recognize it.

This time, when the boss assigned the task, he didn't say that there was a second team, so why did the opponent suddenly appear just before he was ready to rush in.

Could it be that he is competing with himself to grab the bounty? When Zhao Hu thought like this, the awe-inspiring killing intent in his eyes became more and more obvious.

"A few of you go straight in, I'll deal with them!"
