The news that the Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Machine Pavilion abolished the Second Emperor of the Demon Realm was written in Yunzhou Mu's recital.

Although it has not been spread among the people, the empress is of course the first to know.

However, she was not in a hurry to thank you at that time.

First, because he was in Hongchen, he couldn't leave, and it seemed very insincere to send his subordinates!

Second, Tianji Pavilion has always attached importance to cause and effect, and she wanted to ask the pavilion master in person why he helped Dajing.

After all!

If it weren't for the arrival of that pavilion master, the Jade Gate Pass and the unguarded Dajing behind it would have completely become the mouth of the demon beast!

The consequences are unimaginable!

Since there is this good fate, even if Tianji Pavilion has no intention of befriending Yasukuni in the future, it is appropriate to thank the Taoist chief.

......

The autumn breeze is rising.

The long streets and alleys gradually became lively.

Especially the City God Temple and Wenqu Pavilion outside the city, where the gods are enshrined, many talents who are going to be examined this year go to pray for blessings.

this day.

It is very close to the autumn event.

Gu Lan finished breakfast, took the old Yang Tou with the luggage on his back, and walked out of the door of the Gu Mansion.

Mu Yuyan and Liu Yexi followed behind and said goodbye.

"Childe, did you bring the imperial examination number?"

Liu Yexi was a little uneasy, and deliberately shook his wit and mentioned it.

"Xiaoxi, Childe, am I such a careless person?"

Gu Lan pursed his lips, smiled, and glanced at Old Yang.

Lao Yang took out the shiny No. 295 from his arms and shook it in front of the little girl and the empress: "It's all ready, madam, Xiaoxi girl, don't worry, I will take care of it!" ”

The autumn examination was held in Langzhou for seven or eight consecutive days.

So they have to go over there and rent an inn to live in.

"Gu Lang, come back early, the concubine is waiting for you at home."

Mu Yuyan stepped forward, straightened his clothes for him, and muttered reluctantly.

They haven't been separated for so long since they got married.

Although there are secret guards secretly protecting Gu Lan, there will be no changes when she is idle, but she is always at ease when she wants to go to Tianji to worship the mountain.

"Don't worry, lady, I won't cause trouble this time."

Gu Lan knew her worries, raised his hand and touched her delicate pretty face, and said with a smile: "I heard that after the autumn festival, there will be fireworks temple fairs in the whole city..."

"Lady, remember, we met at this time last year."

"When I finish the exam this year, I will visit this Langzhou City with you again, okay?"

"How could you forget..."

Mu Yuyan pursed her lips, revealing a beautiful thrilling smile, and tapped her head: "Okay, I'll wait for Xianggong." ”

"Gone."

Gu Lan said goodbye to the lady, beckoned Lao Yang, brought two old horses, and the two walked towards the city gate one after the other.

The horse's hooves stepped on the fallen leaves all over the ground, and the backs of the two gradually drifted apart.

"Childe, let's go out of the city, there are still about thirty miles away from the political envoy, shall we go directly?"

"Don't worry, let's go to the nearby Wenqu Pavilion first, worship the gods, and by the way, take a look at the scholars of our generation of Dajing."

"That's... Let's go buy two jugs of wine? ”

"Hahaha, I know that you old Yang is greedy, gotcha! Out of the city, my son invites you to drink the best rice wine there! ”

"Still Childe understands me!"

“......”

The sound is getting quieter.

Long.

In front of the Gu Mansion, Mu Yuyan came back to his senses, turned his face to Liu Yexi and whispered, "Are you ready, let's go too." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

......

Meanwhile!

Seongnam Mountain.

The autumn wind blew across the cliff, and the figures of the two horses stopped here, looking at the Langzhou City in the distance below the mountain.

"Is this the state city of Dajing, a good life is majestic!"

The young man in a white shirt couldn't help but admire.

He was born handsome, and he was dressed as a scholar.

Although he is wearing cloth clothes at the moment, there is an innate nobility between his eyebrows.

"Your Highness, this will be yours in the future, don't envy them."

The black-robed old man next to him said, his voice hoarse: "The national teacher has predicted that Dajing's luck has reached the end of its rope, and now the demon world is attacking again..."

Before he could finish.

The young scholar shook his head and stopped him: "Old Long, don't underestimate the enemy!" ”

"The so-called hundred-legged insects are dead but not stiff, and the vitality of Dajing, a huge country, has not been completely extinguished."

"You don't see the great victory at Yumen Pass, 30,000 Dajing soldiers killed nearly 100,000 demon troops, and forced back a hundred miles, such a record... How horrible it is! ”

"That's what Your Highness said."

The black-robed old man who was replaced by Long Lao was obviously very convinced of him, did not refute, and nodded as if taught.

"But... You're right. ”

The young scholar looked at Langzhou City under his feet again, his eyes flashed with a rebellious color, and the corners of his mouth slowly hooked.

"What if there is still a trace of Yasukuni's luck?"

"Sooner or later, this is my Dayu's territory!"

"Not only here, but the twelve states of Yasukuni, I want them all... Including their high-flying Empress Her Majesty! ”

"Hahaha, Your Highness is so ambitious, the old slave is happy when he listens to it!"

The black-robed old man praised.

"Let's go, Elder Long!"

The young scholar whipped his horse at random, turned around and headed down the mountain.

"To conquer Dajing, let's start with this autumn season."

"Let me see if this Dajing scholar can have some real talent and learning, and whether he is worthy of being used by me in the future!"

......

"Lao Yang, did you give money?"

"Didn't Childe say please cough cough... Guest? ”

Lao Yang Tou seemed to like the rice wine bought at the city gate, and he didn't forget to drink it when he said a word, so he couldn't help choking a few sips.

“......”

The shopkeeper looked at both of them and his eyes were gradually getting worse!

The main reason was that Gu Lan didn't pay attention, so Lao Yang hugged several jars and began to work hard, as if a drunk ghost was reincarnated.

It's not expensive.

But it stands to reason that after drinking the best immortal wine, it should be difficult to swallow this bad wine... Gu Lan was like this, and he picked up the wine bowl and only accompanied the old Yang Tou to take a sip slightly.

"Childe, actually... In the early years, when my Lao Yang fled in Huangzhou, he was most hungry for this kind of wine. ”

Lao Yang hugged the wine jar and smiled embarrassedly.

At that time, if he could have such a bowl of wine to drink, I am afraid that he would not have come to Langzhou.

Gu Lan was stunned after hearing this, and then gently patted him on the shoulder: "It's okay, I'll just ask if you have given people money first, you just drink, I can take care of it!" ”

Gu Lan also pushed his altar to the opposite side.

"Thank you, Childe!"

Lao Yang looked around while drinking, came over drunk, and laughed in a low voice: "Childe, you are stable this time... Look at these scholars who came out of our Langzhou City, my old Yang hasn't seen a better temperament than the son! ”

"It's not as good as a child!"

He added, pouting at the past scholars.

"Drink your bar!" Gu Lan's eyelids jumped fiercely: "Son, I regard fame and fortune as dung, how can I be keen on being in the middle of the move?" ”

Don't talk about it!

In this kind of world's imperial examinations, sometimes you really look at appearances.

He was so afraid of Lao Yang's crow's mouth.

Let yourself be lifted because of this peerless handsome face!

After all, it is the empress who is in the dynasty today, and I heard that she has not married yet... What if I think about myself in the future?

After Lao Yang finished patting the fart, he smiled and stopped squeaking.

Then.

There was a beggar walking outside the restaurant, his face was sallow, his eyes were slightly sunken, and he looked like he hadn't eaten enough for a long time.

The beggar's clothes were not clean, but it could be vaguely seen that it was the Confucian clothes of a scholar.

He stopped and wandered outside the restaurant, but he hesitated not to come in.

"Where did you call Hanako, get up quickly, don't delay our business!"

The second shopkeeper's bombardment made the eyes of a few customers sweep over.

Most of them pass by at a glance, with a strange indifference.

However.

When Gu Lan saw the beggar's face, he was slightly stunned.

Lin Lu?
