(The first volume is over, and the moment Li Mengzhou stepped into the capital of Jiang Guo, this magnificent story can be regarded as the real prelude.)

In the first volume, I had to say that there were many important foreshadowings or details, and I was hesitant to have this first volume at first, but in the end, I also obeyed my heart and saw my opinions, because I wanted to write, so I wanted to write.

Many of the characters in the first volume will appear in the follow-up, and some may only appear with a name, but they will also play a very key role, I don't know if everyone will like this first volume, but I can guarantee that from the second volume onwards, it will be wonderful everywhere.

Let's follow in the footsteps of Li Mengzhou, set foot on the capital together, overcome obstacles all the way, and march towards the road of sword immortals!)

In the winter of the twenty-fourth year of Jiang Guochangping, the first snow fell in the capital.

The snow covered the peaks, and the sky and the earth were vast.

People and tourists in the capital have different feelings about this beautiful scenery, and the restaurant and teahouse are full of people, around the stove, drinking wine and eating food, and talking about some life experiences.

Langya is the name of the capital of Jiang Kingdom.

As the name suggests, the two characters are next to the word king, representing the emperor, but most of them point to something related to jade, and after the two words are separated, except for the word king, it is a good and an evil.

Good can represent good, and evil can represent evil.

Good and evil have the appearance of the word king, and they will become good talents and beautiful jades, and they are capable people.

Good people and evil people are mixed together, it is this world, and there will be stories and good dramas in this world.

The city of Langya is shrouded in fine snow.

Outside the city gates, the people waiting to enter the city have already put on thicker robes and hats.

Li Mengzhou was dressed in black, also bloated, and he was no longer conspicuous when he stood in the crowd.

It is not so simple for a small citizen like Li Mengzhou to enter the capital, if there is no way, the soldiers guarding the city will not let you in, and will even arrest you for questioning.

Li Mengzhou didn't know much about this, so when he was in Fengjiang, Ye Jinyu knew that he was going to the capital, so he helped him buy a road guide.

The soldiers guarding the city took the guide from him and asked in a regular way, "Where did you come from, what are you doing in Langya City?"

Li Mengzhou said: "Visit relatives. ”

Of course, he didn't have any relatives to visit, but this was a good reason, and the soldiers guarding the city would not keep asking, so Li Mengzhou quickly entered the capital and stood on the land of Langya.

The snow was fine, and it was silvery white everywhere.

Li Mengzhou put on a hat, carried a sword wrapped in black cloth and a simple knife behind him, and walked down the street with his head bowed.

It was a little dark.

Due to the occasional icy road, pedestrians are not in a hurry and are quite cautious, after all, slipping on the street is always a shameful thing.

In the west of Langya City, the streets near Yueming Lake are extremely prosperous, with many shops, and the famous restaurants and green buildings have hung up lanterns in advance, reflecting the silver snow is very beautiful.

Even with the fine snow, the streets are still lively, full of pedestrians, and all kinds of boots crunch when they step on the snow.

This is the capital of Jiang Kingdom, no matter at any time or in any weather, it is still prosperous, and there are crowds of people everywhere.

But Li Mengzhou estimates that the vicinity of Yueming Lake should be an exception.

Because there are too many restaurants and tea shops here, there are all kinds of shops, especially the existence of green buildings, which will inevitably attract the arrival of talented children.

There is a pavilion on the shore of Yueming Lake.

Resplendent.

There are red lanterns hanging on the eaves, and there are girls upstairs chatting funny.

Li Mengzhou frowned slightly, although he had never been to the Qinglou, he probably understood what the Qinglou was like.

There is a plaque in the pavilion, and the plaque is engraved with a tulip pattern, and the three big characters are very eye-catching - gentle township.

Li Mengzhou's expression was quite unnatural, he hesitated for a moment, but still stepped in.

In his impression, the Qinglou should be a very erosive place, but this is not the case where it comes into view.

It's quiet in the gentle township.

Although there were many male guests who held the girl in their arms and let the girl sit on their lap, eating small dishes and drinking small wine, they did not make a loud noise, nor did they move their hands and feet, as if it was a natural movement.

It gives people the illusion that they came to the Qinglou for no other purpose, just to eat, drink and chat.

There weren't too many guests sitting in the lobby, and the only guests who were there were all dressed in luxury, and they must all be people of status, and occasionally one or two scholars could be seen.

They were a little shy, and by the urge of wine, they could not compose a poem, and then win the applause of the girls, and their faces were flushed again.

As far as Li Mengzhou could see, he saw a scholar standing in front of the bookcase, concentrating on the pen and writing and drawing on the paper, and several girls were surrounding him, holding their breath.

After the scholar shook his pen and hooked his tail, he exclaimed in a low voice, praising the good handwriting written by the scholar, which made the scholar quite complacent.

Li Mengzhou's expression was even more weird.

He thought that the green building in the capital was like this, and it was indeed the capital, and it was full of atmosphere.

When Li Mengzhou was still thinking, a girl passed by, she glanced at Li Mengzhou curiously, and said with a smile: "Child, this is not the place you should come." ”

Li Mengzhou frowned slightly, looking at the girl who was talking to him, this girl was very good-looking, without heavy makeup, if it weren't for the Qinglou, he would definitely think that this was the daughter of a family.

In terms of appearance, she may be far worse than Ye Sangyu, but her figure is very graceful, and it is not at all comparable to the little girl who has not grown.

Li Mengzhou lost his mind for a moment, which was a knee-jerk reaction.

The girl didn't seem to care about Li Mengzhou's gaze, she stepped forward and said, "Child, just take a look, you should study hard at your age, don't think about what you have or don't have." ”

Li Mengzhou was a little surprised, and was also a little dissatisfied with the girl's title, and said, "I'm not a child. ”

The girl deserved to be a person in the Qinglou, raised her hand and flicked Li Mengzhou's head, and said with a smile: "People are small and big, even if you treat yourself as an adult, you shouldn't come here, you don't have much money to look at, you want to have fun in the gentle township, not only if you have money, but also have an identity." Seeing that you are young and ignorant, I advise you to leave, or if you get into trouble, you will be unlucky. ”

Li Mengzhou said coldly: "I'm not afraid of trouble, and I won't leave." ”

The girl was a little surprised, she had never seen such a stubborn teenager, maybe it was inevitable that she would have some thoughts when she reached adolescence, and she also paid more attention to face, and it was obviously not easy to leave so gloomy.

She didn't continue to persuade Li Mengzhou, but said, "Then you go around, and leave when you've seen enough." ”

Li Mengzhou ignored her, and the girl also felt bored, so she walked away first, and then whispered to another girl, looking at Li Mengzhou from time to time.

It is inevitable to be a little embarrassed to be looked at unscrupulously by several girls.

Li Mengzhou simply found a place to sit down, and there was no girl to greet him, as if he didn't exist.

There were several richly dressed young men at a nearby table, one of them shaking a folding fan, because there was a fire burning in the hall, it was not cold, but the fan in winter always looked a little high.

"Brother Wang, I heard that the enrollment of Ewha Academy every three years will start soon, I wonder if you are interested this year?"

The young man who was shaking the folding fan pouted slightly, and said: "The academy has to take the six arts, although this son thinks he is talented, but he has no attainments in the art of riding and archery, not to mention that the academy is so easy to enter, the previous time there were only thirteen people who entered the academy, this son should not be embarrassed, lest he be scolded by his father." ”

The so-called six arts, that is, etiquette, music, archery, royalty, calligraphy, mathematics, are also the main subjects of the Ewha Academy, only one subject a day, and the results of each subject must be reasonable to be able to enter the academy, but where there is a subject that fails, unless there is a letter of recommendation from a big person, it will inevitably be eliminated.

A letter of recommendation is not a cheating thing, and the person recommended must also have great talents, and there will never be a person who is indiscriminate, but there is a specialization in art, and a person who is not an all-rounder, if he can reach the peak in a certain aspect and have a great reputation, and the exception is recommended by the local government, the college will also give priority to admission as appropriate.

There are basically talented people in every county, county, and even county, and only the first person has the opportunity to be recommended by the local government, and the talent of the first name will inevitably be recognized by many people. For example, the number one talent in a county, the population of the county is as high as 10 million, or even more, and the person who can be called the first person naturally has great ability, and it is reasonable that the college will give priority to admission because of the recommendation letter to offset the results of a certain subject.

The talents recruited by the academy are not only scholars, but also young cultivators, or more importantly, people with cultivation qualifications, not that those who have cultivation qualifications will definitely be able to enter the academy, if they fail the Six Arts exam, they will also be eliminated.

Rao is like this, there are still countless people who come to Langya City and want to enter Lihua Academy.

After all, compared to entering the cultivation mountain gate, the assessment of Ewha Academy is simpler, as long as you are familiar with the six arts, you can basically enter the hospital, and then have the opportunity to come into contact with the magical power of cultivation.

Listening to the conversation of the young sons, Li Mengzhou was not interested.

Although he is literate, he really has no talent, and he doesn't even know what the six arts are, and it is impossible for him to be admitted to Ewha Academy.

Although Ewha Academy is the state education academy of Jiang Kingdom, its status is better than that of the cultivation mountain gate.

But people must be self-aware, and if they don't have that ability, they don't want to do that porcelain work.

The girls in Gentle Township are all dressed in fine brocade, and the guests are all elegant scholars, even individual scholars who are not very rich are neatly dressed, and the Confucianism of Pear Flower Academy is the state religion of Jiang State, and the status of scholars is of course superior, so no one will feel inappropriate for them to appear in Gentle Township.

But Li Mengzhou's dusty appearance and dark face are really different from the atmosphere of the scene.

Although he was still wearing the black robe worth eight taels, he had already become shabby in the battle with Yuan Ghost in the Tianhe Forest, and the clothes of eight taels were indeed extravagant in the eyes of ordinary people, but in the gentle township, they were still the best dress.

Naturally, he is very easy to attract the attention of some people.

However, due to the rules of Gentle Township, since the family did not drive away, the guests naturally did not say much, but most of them deliberately stayed away and did not want to sit too close to him.
