Yanyu Jiangnan, Jinghua Jiangnan. Bathe in the breeze of Gangnam and enjoy the drizzle of Gangnam. The rain is like fog, the rain is like smoke, dripping, ethereal, and lingering. The drizzle of smoke and mist dots the south of the Yangtze River, like a fairyland, and the clouds and mist surround the beautiful water towns of the south of the Yangtze River. Rose petals, bluestone floors, oil-paper umbrellas - not an illusion in the ethereal, everything is in front of you, so clear, so clear. The water of Jiangnan gave birth to the water-like Jiangnan. Gangnam, the beauty lies in the water of Jiangnan, the scenery of Jiangnan, and the people of Jiangnan. This beauty is a combination of rigidity and softness. Jiangnan, is like a song that can never be sung, making people savor her picturesque and watery years..........

The rain fell on the eaves, on the tiles, on the umbrellas...... The rain on the scattered stone slabs converged into a trickle, and the pen was green on the bluestone slabs.

After the rain, the sky is clear, the wind is light and the clouds are light, the sky is printed with colorful red glow, and the warm sun of autumn shines on the hearts of everyone on the earth. In the distance, there is an endless stream of golden wheat waves, dancing in the wind in the field like tumbling buntings. Showing a different kind of vitality, in the fields, there are a few farmers wearing hats and coarse linen clothes working hard but happily in the fields. One of the farmers, raised his hand to wipe the sweat beads from his face, looked at the clear sky and the fields filled with the smell of harvest, and muttered to himself: "This year, it is another prosperous harvest season!"

At this time, although it is a rainy period in Jiangnan, it is also a stable and harmonious period in Jiangnan. That is, in this era of stability and harmony, heroes from all over the south of the Yangtze River have risen together, and they have fought for their lifelong goals with noble pursuits. It is this group of heroes in Jiangnan who constitute the martial arts in the entire Jiangnan. For a time, there were many celebrities in various parts of Jiangnan, some of whom experienced a lot of wars and baptism of time, and finally became the best in Jiangnan martial arts.

The Jiangnan region on the mainland is under the administration of a country, and now it is the heyday of this country, the four seas are peaceful, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the evil forces that once appeared have been eliminated. Except for the evil legend who used to be, but he is only a legendary figure, in fact, no one has seen the true face of this evil legend, so people think that it is now a prosperous time of peace. In fact, the current king is indeed a virtuous monarch, who appoints meritocracy, promotes frugality, and even does the work that ordinary farmers do.........

The virtuous monarch sent envoys from Jiangnan many times to recruit heroes and heroes from all walks of life in Jiangnan, so as to broaden their views and listen to the views and perceptions of people from all walks of life and all classes. However, the heroes of Jiangnan are all righteous and alone, and they are unwilling to be restrained by secular etiquette and systems. However, although there are many people who are accustomed to the free and easy life, they are unwilling to be officials. But everyone's pursuits are different. Therefore, there are still many people who are willing to go to the court to show their talents and display their skills. The first envoy sent by the monarch set a rule, every year on the tenth day of October, in the tallest building in the south of the Yangtze River - Yunsheng Juxian Tower, on the spot to test the martial arts of every Jiangnan hero who is willing to enter the imperial court as an official, to be precise, in Yunsheng Juxian Tower to conduct an unprecedented grand competition.

This is not only an opportunity to enter the imperial court as an official and show your talents, but also a great opportunity to learn your martial arts, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting with masters from all walks of life in Jiangnan. Whenever this happens, the envoy sent by the monarch will watch the martial arts, piano skills, calligraphy and painting of the heroes of the rivers and lakes in the south of the Yangtze River on the highest pavilion of Yunsheng Juxian Tower. This is also the biggest event of the year in Gangnam. Jiangnan's martial arts competition is as short as January and as long as March, after all, many masters can even take three days and three nights without rest, so this time Jiangnan's grand event will not end smoothly until midwinter. The top three in each competition can get the emperor's reward and the opportunity to be an official, and the specific strength needs to be further investigated. But the name of the top three also gives these three people a bigger chance.

Therefore, around the tenth day of October every year, heroes from all walks of life in the south of the Yangtze River began to gather in Yunsheng Juxian Tower. Maybe a long time in advance, there are heroes from all walks of life coming to Yunsheng Juxian Building, although sometimes there is still a long time before the tenth day of October, but there are already a lot of Jiangnan heroes have come here, after all, this is not only the largest building in Jiangnan, but also the largest inn in Jiangnan. The food in Yunsheng Juxian Mansion is up to heaven, especially the various delicious signature dishes, which are particularly attractive to people's stomachs. And the living conditions here are also the best in the whole Jiangnan, and everyone who comes to Yunsheng Juxian Building to stay is full of praise for Yunsheng Juxian Building after leaving. So the monarch who ruled the country decided that every time the heroes and heroes from all walks of life came to Yunsheng Juxian Tower to conduct the Jiangnan Martial Arts Competition, they would have a rich reward every time, that is, they would eat and live in Yunsheng Juxian Tower for free for a week.

Don't look at this is only a short week, but the fame of Yunsheng Juxian Lou is well-known, after all, it is the largest restaurant and inn in Jiangnan, and many overseas Jianghu people in Jiangnan have to come to Yunsheng Juxian Lou to participate in the Jiangnan martial arts competition. After all, it is also a very tempting thing to live in Yunsheng Juxian Tower for a week.

Looking at the Yunsheng Juxian Building from a distance from the outside, you will find that the entire building is made of marble, white marble and mud. The tables and chairs inside are all inlaid and carved from the most precious mahogany, especially under the illumination of the unique crystal lamp of Yunsheng Juxian Building. This is also a means of attracting customers from Yunsheng Juxian Building, after all, Yunsheng Juxian Building is very magnificent, luxurious, and it is also the largest restaurant in Jiangnan.

Now it is September, after the hot summer, the weather is no longer so hot, the heroes of Jiangnan have come to Yunsheng Juxian Lou one after another, although there is still a month before the start of the Jiangnan martial arts competition, but no one is willing to lose the qualification for the competition because of being late.

However, the current heroes gather to Yunsheng Juxian Tower so early with different intentions, many heroes and heroes are to adapt to the venue in advance, or to find their teammates in advance, after all, the selection competition at the beginning of the Jiangnan Martial Arts Conference is a contest between teams and teams. So even though it's only September, the heroes and heroes of Jiangnan have basically arrived. But there are some people who will always use some crooked brains, which is not a habit that heroes should have, but the reward of victory is too attractive.

Becoming an official of the imperial court and serving the country is something that many heroes yearn for, after all, although many people are in the rivers and lakes, they can't help it, they all want to leave such a life of fighting and killing, wandering and helpless. However, many people think that they should fight for it on their own, but some people decide to take an unusual path.

By the middle of September, the envoy sent by the wise emperor had already stayed in the Yunsheng Juxian Tower, and since the envoy had been trusted by the emperor this year, the envoy decided to pick out the best heroes in Jiangnan and recommend them to the emperor to win the emperor's trust. Although this messenger was very loyal, this messenger actually had a great problem, that is, he was very greedy for money, and even some loved money like his life. So many people with bad intentions took advantage of this loophole, after all, this envoy is now a celebrity in front of the emperor, and many people have obtained high positions through this envoy.

Now in late September, the weather has begun to gradually get cooler. The heroes and heroes of Jiangnan who gathered in Yunsheng Juxian Tower from all walks of life are gearing up to welcome the biggest event in Jiangnan this year.

Yunsheng Juxian Building, the whole building rises in a spiky shape, that is to say, each floor of Yunsheng Juxian Building is smaller and smaller the higher it goes. Below the fifteenth floor is a place where ordinary guests can live, and above the fifteenth floor, only the martial arts people who participate in the Yunsheng Juxian Lou event every year can participate, and there are five floors for Jiangnan Haojie to live. And on the small attic on the highest floor of the Yunsheng Juxian Building, there lived the envoys sent by His Majesty the Emperor every year. At this moment, the little attic was now sealed off by the messenger's men, and no one was allowed to enter or leave, so that many ill-intentioned people had no way of knowing the messenger's minor problems. However, there is still a person who has heard of the weakness of the messenger and wants to try his luck, this person is very careful all the way, and vigilantly avoids the eyes of many Jiangnan heroes. In a short time he came to the door of the little attic. The man had a triumphant smile on his face, and it looked really weird from a distance.

This person with a two-handful mustache and a hint of frost-white hair on his head, who looks like he has experienced the baptism of wind and frost, is nicknamed: Wind and Dust Ranger. The big name is: Zhang Xu, Zhang Xu is holding two double halberds in his hands, from a distance, Zhang Kexi has outstanding strength, and his body is still quite strong. Zhang Xu is not only very strong in his fists and feet, he also has his own set of martial arts, a full set of twelve moves in "Wind and Dust Dance", and the moves penetrate Zhang Kexi's double halberd, once it is completely used, it has unstoppable power. And Zhang Xu's fame in the entire Jiangnan is also quite large. Therefore, there are many people in the entire Jiangnan who come here and come to worship the dust ranger Zhang Xu as a teacher. Zhang Xu also participated in the Jiangnan martial arts competition for several years, and every time he won a very high ranking.

According to common sense, Zhang Xu, such a famous dust ranger, should not need to bribe the examiner, and although Zhang Kexi's face is like a moral appearance, Zhang Xu knows that as long as those people are alive, it is absolutely impossible for him to get the top three, and those people don't seem to want to go to the officialdom to be officials, they just want to come to Jiangnan to learn martial arts. But Zhang Xu couldn't tell these people about his suffering, so he felt a little embarrassed. Therefore, Zhang Xu, who was helpless, decided to find this year's chief examiner first, that is, the messenger sent by His Majesty the Emperor this year, to try his luck.

Coming from his hometown, Zhang Xu took his apprentices all the way to Yunsheng Juxian Tower, anxiously waiting for his fateful opponent to appear, but Zhang Xu was very pleased to find that it seemed that those people had not appeared until now. Although those people have not yet appeared, Zhang Xu still feels that everything needs to be done steadily, and it is good to be more safe. That's why Zhang Xu was extremely happy, so he came to the top of the Yunsheng Juxian Tower with a smile on his face to look for the messenger. Otherwise, Zhang Xu must have come here with a gloomy face to look for the messenger.

It's a pity that Zhang Xu tried his best to leave all his apprentices in his room, and successfully avoided the attention of all the Jiangnan heroes. He came to the top of the Yunsheng Gathering Immortal Tower alone, but he was still discovered by several internal guards around the messenger.

The task of recruiting Jiangnan heroes is not heavy, it is not light, and the current envoy is also a person that His Majesty the Emperor believes in now, so His Majesty the Emperor naturally sent some of his guards to this envoy.

As soon as Zhang Xu saw several guards patrolling, he secretly screamed in his heart. However, now Zhang Xu told himself that he could not escape. All he could do now was to walk up with a smiling face, and said softly: "These guards brothers, I want to meet the chief examiner this time, Lord Liu Xun, I don't know if I can report it? ”

The Ouchi guards were very surprised and asked, "Didn't you say it now, before the Jiangnan martial arts competition begins, can't any contestants see Lord Liu Xun? Why are you still here? Hurry up and go." The inner guards didn't say anything to Zhang Xu, so they took Zhang Kexi away directly.

If it is purely based on Zhang Xu's strength, as far as there are only a few guards, even if it is His Majesty's internal guards, Zhang Kexi is sure that he can defeat them, but this kind of internal guards is something that Zhang Xu has offended? If they repay the emperor, even a general, Zhang Kexi will be hunted down, which Zhang Xu is not willing to do. So Zhang Xu hurriedly made some pitiful expressions, and then deliberately said helplessly: "These guards brothers, I also came here to visit Lord Liu Xun, you are also the inner guards, and you are also the people I want to visit." So it's all the same, you're also people I respect!"

Zhang Xu's words were particularly listening, although those Ouchi guards were comfortable hearing such words of approval, they were still unmoved, but the faces of these Ouchi guards showed a faint look of expectation. It seemed that these Ouchi guards were asking for something, and their hands were still slightly tilted forward.

Zhang Xu frowned at first, then immediately understood, quickly took out a few letters of silver from his personal pocket, and then handed them respectfully, and then said in a low voice and very respectfully: "These guards brothers, even if I invite you to tea with this money, don't be polite to me!"

Seeing Zhang Xu's courtesy, those inner guards naturally accepted it with a smile and a smile. One of them, who seemed to be the leader of these Ouchi guards, walked up and patted Zhang Xu on the shoulder, and said softly: "Brother, we accepted your heart, so we didn't see you." But whether we can pass the level of Lord Liu Xun is not something we can say. Therefore, if you want to go to see Lord Liu Xun, you must see your own creation. Brothers, let's go drink!" The other Ouchi guards heard their leader say this, and they naturally left happily, since they have money, and someone wants to see Lord Liu Xun, Lord Liu Xun will not be able to get away for a while. Then why don't you hurry up and go to the Yunsheng Juxian Mansion to drink!
