However, in the same year that the Qi State put down the feudal rebellion, the cronies of the Qi State Emperor Guangwu Jun issued an order ordering the number of Xuancheng to increase to a full twelve. In other words, Licheng, Quecheng, Yicheng, Ruocheng, Jincheng and Huicheng have all been reduced to only three people before they can be selected into the Qi Kingdom Royal Academy. Such a rule also affected Gao Hanyue, Feng Shanshan, Feng Yuchong, Shi Lanbo and Luo Yinying, who had already begun to pack their bags and prepare to set foot on the two Qi cities of Ruocheng and Jincheng.

For this year's new order and consideration to be able to enter the Qi Kingdom Royal Academy together. Gao Hanyue, Feng Shanshan, Feng Yuchong, Shi Lanbo and Luo Yinying discussed this for a long time before deciding that Gao Hanyue and Feng Yuchong would go to Huicheng to participate in the selection. And Feng Shanshan and Luo Yinying went to Jincheng, which was the farthest away from them, to participate in the selection. Shi Rambo is helped by the identity of Shi Bao's grandson and his innate talent. Therefore, it is necessary to have the qualifications that can basically be promoted. In this way, in order to ensure that others can also advance, Shi Lanbo had to go to Ruocheng, which is the closest to their bamboo forest and is the most powerful in Jiangnan, to participate in the competition.

Through the bustling crowds, lined up on both sides of the street, the twilight sunset faintly sprinkled on the red bricks and green tiles or the brightly colored pavilion cornices, adding a bit of hazy and poetic to the evening scene of this prosperous Jincheng in front of you.

At this moment, a young girl in a white neon dress walked ahead, walking towards the center of the city with a somewhat wandering footsteps, this girl's eyes were ethereal and moving, and her beautiful eyes were left on the several prosperous teahouses displayed on the roadside. This girl has a graceful posture and a beautiful face, although this girl looks like a girl who is not yet fully developed, but this girl is born with outstanding appearance and a moving temperament. Even if you just walk on the road like this, you have already attracted the admiring eyes of many passers-by.

Behind the girl was a young man in a blue coat, who looked younger, but with a resolute expression on his face that made the people passing by around him stay away. The young man waved a silver-rimmed folding fan in his hand, and his eyes remained fixed on the girl not far from him.

The two people walked one after the other, in front of them and behind them were the faces of passers-by who were either long, elegant, fresh, or sophisticated, surrounded by cars and horses, surrounded by people like weaving, not far away faintly heard the penetrating shouts of the vendors, and occasionally a long neighing of horses, feeling as if in a colorful and rich picture. The girl walking in front couldn't help but stop, looking at the blood-red and rich remnant sun that was gradually slanting westward not far away, her lips opened lightly, and she sighed softly.

The girl stopped, and the young man in the blue coat behind her also walked to the side of the girl in the white dress. The boy turned his head sideways and stood side by side with the girl, only to hear him ask softly.

"Sister Yue, what are you thinking?" the young man obviously seemed to be a little unable to comprehend the artistic conception of this girl in a white neon dress at this moment. He pondered for a long time whether to ask this question or not, but he looked at the girl in front of him with a somewhat confused gaze, and he still asked this question after struggling for a while.

The girl in the white dress standing beside him sighed softly again, and Fang Xing spit out a few words like an orchid: "I'm really worried about whether this Royal Academy of Qi can give us a future."

The girl in white suddenly sighed like this, so that the young man in the light blue horse coat next to him didn't know what to say for a while. He thought about it, looking at the worried eyes of the girl next to him, and the young man's heart couldn't help but feel a secret pain. He could only pretend to be calm, and said softly: "It's okay, Sister Yue, we have always been facing difficulties together, no matter what, we are partners."

"Hmm" The girl nodded deeply, she turned her head to the young man with a slightly grateful smile, "Thank you Chong'er, we are comrades-in-arms" After speaking, the girl stretched out her right hand to the little boy in front of her like a comrade-in-arms, the young man smiled lightly, and also stretched out his right hand, and the two of them slapped deeply in the air.

Looking at the white neon girl lightly dressed, and the delicate appearance of the white-clothed Shengxue, a strong impulse suddenly rose in the young man's heart. He really wanted to ask the girl in front of him, "Sister Yue, do you really only treat me as your own brother or do you treat me as your true confidant?"

However, the young man did not dare to ask this question, and he could only silently suppress the strong emotional surge that rushed in his chest. He took a deep breath and asked softly, "Sister Yue, let's go to the inn to rest first."

The girl in white nodded quietly and replied in a low voice: "It's Chong'er, let's go."

The two boys and girls, who had already attracted enough attention from the people, walked towards the inn in the northernmost part of Jincheng, not paying the slightest attention to the pair of leisurely eyes staring closely behind them

"Okay, are you two going to stay in the hotel, okay, I'll help you register. By the way, can you please tell me your name?" It was almost close to the one on the road leading to Jiangbei, wrapped with Jincui glazed tiles. The red vermilion characters have four big characters written on it, "Yuelai Inn". This pair of teenagers and girls stepped forward and said to the shopkeeper that they wanted to stay in the store. The shopkeeper looked at the pair of girls and teenagers very respectfully, and then agreed to help them arrange it.

The pair of teenagers and girls looked at the shopkeeper with the dishes in his hand to help them arrange a stay in the store, and the girl whispered a little strangely: "This shopkeeper is so calm that he didn't ask us about the specific things and helped us go" The young man standing next to the girl was also a little confused. After all, it was the first time they had grown up to go out independently, and they felt a little new about everything in the outside world. However, they also did not forget their master's admonition not to trust others too much, otherwise they would only gain more than they lost.

But now, this pair of teenagers and girls has no other special way to do it except wait here. So the two of them stood silently at the door of the inn, their faces intricately lit, staring at the sunset that was gradually shining in the distance.

Neither of them spoke, just stood silently in the afterglow of the setting sun, silently looking at the endless clear night sky.

After a while, the shopkeeper who had rushed upstairs in a hurry rushed back again, and said to them urgently: "I'm sorry, our inn is full, there is only one empty room left, I don't know if you need it" The shopkeeper's expression was a little solemn, but he still couldn't hide the silent excitement on the shopkeeper's face.

"Ah, it's so late now, let's just take a moment," the girl in front of her in white had a worried look on her face, and she glanced at the sunset that was already gradually falling in the mountains in the distance. I could only nod silently.

The shopkeeper took a string of copper coins from the girl's hand and helped them arrange the room. The shopkeeper also instructed the others to inform the kitchen to help them make dinner.

The girl sighed lightly, and sat down at a relatively remote table in the lobby of the inn, and the young man, who was slightly younger than her, immediately put the folding fan in his hand on the table, and sat down opposite the girl.

The young man looked at the girl with a sad face on the other side, a look of pity rose in his heart, and he asked softly, "Sister Yue, how can we live in one house for the two of us?"

The girl Shi Shiran smiled, and suddenly said with a hint of playfulness: "Don't worry, I will share a quilt for you, and it won't make you cold, besides, it's not autumn now, and it doesn't matter much if you sleep on the ground."

The boy was holding up a cup of tea in his hand and preparing to drink it, when he heard the girl squeamish with a little playfulness. The boy almost squirted a mouthful of tea out of his mouth. He put down the cup, coughed lightly twice, and said helplessly: "Sister Yue, you really can't bear to treat me like this, I'll sleep."

The girl gently stroked the soft hair of the young man in front of her, and comforted with a smile: "It's a pity, if we go to the Qi Kingdom Royal Academy in the future, I won't have a chance to take care of you, Chong'er, you have to take good care of yourself, otherwise I'm really worried."

The young man's eyes were blazing, and he nodded deeply. Secretly made a determination in his heart, "I have to become stronger to protect the people I want to protect"
