Holding Lu Yun's hand and leaving the wine shop in front of everyone, Xu Zhou couldn't forget the surprised expressions on everyone's faces for a long time, and the mouth was open, and he could stuff a whole fist.

After entering the courtyard, the rosiness on Lu Yun's face slowly subsided.

"After staying up for a day and a night, are you tired? Craving something? Lu Yun held the mirror given to her by Xu Zhou in her arms, and was reluctant to put it down, this was the first gift Xu Zhou gave her.

Xu Zhou stood in the yard yawning, his eyes were almost open, he stretched his waist and said: "It's okay, let's drink the twist sweet wine after cooking, put more twist flowers, and I'll go to sleep after drinking." ”

"Hmm." Lu Yun put the mirror into the back room first, and then came out to the kitchen to cook sweet wine, while Xu Zhou washed his face with a basin of water and relaxed.

The two of them chatted through the kitchen window.

"Xiaozhou, didn't you say that you were there to help Wei Yanzuo? How can you still work for someone else's class. ”

Xu Zhou wet the towel, wrung it out, wiped his neck, and said, "There is a person who has something at home and can't come temporarily, so ask me to replace him." ”

"Well, this person is also generous, and gave me a lot of money for one night, it's really stupid and has a lot of money."

After that, Xu Zhou took out a few pieces of broken silver from his bosom and put them on the windowsill, which meant the reward given by the man.

Lu Yun saw that it was a full five taels of silver, and paused for a while.

These five taels are enough for Xu Zhou for a month, and the man is also generous.

"What's the matter with clothes? Why is it so dirty? Lu Yun saw that Xu Zhou's clothes were extremely dirty, and there were blood stains on his trouser legs, which was strange for a while.

Xu Zhou rubbed his nose, pretended to bend down and patted the ashes on his body, and said unconcernedly: "In a place like a prison, it's normal to be dirty.... It's hard to help me wash it. ”

In fact, he was lying on the ground last night, and after finishing the matter, he carried the dead back to the county office, and accidentally got on his body.

After hearing this, Lu Yun nodded, absentmindedly breaking the twist flower in his hand, thoughtfully.

……

……

"After going around, I'm in a hurry to see it."

"Oh yes, sliding shovel—"

"Okay—"

The noisy voices of the crowd echoed in the huge square in front of the Imperial City Division.

The square is more than 100 steps wide and square, and even if the pedestrians on the street take a long detour, they do not want to approach the Imperial City Division, which looks like a black cage.

Although the children of various sects in the rivers and lakes are among the Imperial City Division, serving the imperial court eagle dogs and serving the emperor, all of them are men with strong blood, and everyone has unique skills and real kung fu in their hands.

After staying together for a long time, no one will accept anyone, and it is inevitable that the hands will itch.

Therefore, in order to avoid a three-day private fight, a high platform was built on the square outside the Imperial City, so that the men with itchy hands could come to the stage to compete. Winning a game, not only have a lottery to take, it is generally a silver tael or a lost martial arts cheats, but it can also indirectly increase the experience of martial arts, why not do it.

The biggest benefit is the Imperial City Division.

Martial arts are refined, and they often have an epiphany between learning from their opponents.

The Imperial City Division is put in the ring every day, and every few days, someone is inspired in the competition and upgrades to break through the realm. Over time, the manpower of the Imperial City Division has gone farther than the major sects in the martial arts, so what storms can the rivers and lakes set off?

It's the same today, early in the morning, there are people competing in the ring, and there are those who go on stage to compete and those who watch from the stage. The two of them on the stage used their housekeeping skills, paid full attention, never said a word of distraction, and the people in the audience pointed and pointed, eager to go on stage in person, gesture with both hands, and use the sliding stunt.

The breeze rises.

The hook-nosed old man dressed in brocade and blue satin and wearing a high hat hurried past the square and plunged headlong into the interior of the Imperial City Division.

Jia Sheng raised his eyes and glanced at the competition between the two martial artists in the ring, the two of them fought to the flesh, but they did not take each other's lives.

In his daily spare time, Jia Sheng will also come to watch the competition, but today's situation is special, he walked by quickly, and the speed was so fast that his subordinates did not have time to kneel down to salute.

Jia Sheng raised his legs and entered the Imperial City Division, and soon came to the place where the discussion is held on weekdays, the gossip platform.

The Bagua Terrace is built on a lake, which is a pavilion in the center of the lake with a wide field of vision, where it is impossible for outsiders to hear the content of the discussion, and the confidentiality effect is excellent.

In the pavilion in the middle of the lake, there were already three people waiting here.

The three were of different shapes and dresses, male and female.

However, the three of them have one thing in common, that is, they are both envoys of the Imperial City!

"I've seen the Commander!" Xuanwu and the two envoys of the White Tiger knelt on one knee and clasped their fists. One was a burly man with a scar on his face, and the other was dressed as a thin scholar.

"Hmm."

Jia Sheng raised his hand lightly and told the two to get up.

The next moment, Jia Sheng's gaze stayed on a female child sitting by the lake, with her back to everyone, her legs hanging in the air, and paddling barefoot.

The girl looks like she is only eight or nine years old from the outside, with a small mouth and a big nose, big eyes that are bright and bright, harmless to humans and animals, pink and cute.

She was wearing a small black tulle skirt, embroidered with auspicious cloud beasts with gold thread on the skirt, and two round, lotus-like legs were exposed under the skirt, and the legs hung on the surface of the lake, swinging back and forth, and the pink feet gently stirred the turquoise water, and the red koi fish swam under her feet.

No matter how you look at this picture, it's all a picture of quiet years.

But those in the know don't think so, especially the few people present.

"How did the Green Dragon Envoy get out?" Jia Sheng lifted the hem of his clothes and knelt in the center of the gossip platform.

In front of him, there was a small case of pear blossoms, the tea set on the case was complete, the tea on the tea stove was "popping", and the steam was rising.

The Qinglong envoy did not answer his question, and did not even turn his head back, but hummed a melodious tune in his mouth, and his little feet gently paddled the lake, leisurely.

No one would have thought that Qiu Ying, the envoy of the Imperial City Si Qinglong, was actually a little girl.

"You broke through the realm and entered the second grade?" Jia Sheng picked up the teacup on the case, blew the hot tea inside and put it down, blinking his eyes and guessing.

As soon as these words came out, the other two envoys glanced at each other, with an unpredictable look on their faces, and more envy.

Martial Arts Nine Grades, One Rank Grand Master, Nine Grades Entry.

From ancient times to the present, there are only a handful of great grandmasters, but there are only a few of them, and they require extremely high talent and opportunities, as well as a realm that can only be touched after experiencing the hardships of nine deaths and a lifetime.

The extremely harsh conditions that created the Great Grandmaster were just a dream for a martial artist, a dream that was out of reach.

As a result, the second grade, also known as the "half-step grandmaster", has become the lifelong pursuit of martial artists in the world!

Whether it is in the Lichao or Nanshu, or even the prosperous Chu State, it can be listed as a guest by the royal family and treated with princely courtesy.

Today, there are less than ten second-grade martial artists alive.

Each of them is Tianjiao, half of them are in the Chu State, and there are only two people from the dynasty.

One person was named the king of the north of the town, enjoyed a thousand gold and food, and the family prospered for a hundred years; The other person was the previous commander of the Imperial City Division, who was deeply trusted by His Majesty and often played chess with the emperor, but this person disappeared three years ago, and it is difficult for the world to find a trace.

Following the two of them, Lichao finally ushered in the realm of the third half-step grandmaster, Qiu Ying.

"Congratulations! Congratulations to the Blue Dragon for breaking through the realm! The other two envoys, Baihu and Xuanwu, hugged their fists and congratulated.

Qiu Ying's small body stood up awkwardly from the edge of the gossip platform, barefoot, and walked to Jia Sheng to sit down opposite the desk.

She stretched out her round little hand and poured a cup of tea: "Thanks to the blessing of the commander, I can break through the realm, thanks to the plan of the commander half a year ago, it can be called a foolproof plan." ”

Although he said it with a smile, there was a hint of anger hidden in his words.

Qiu Ying held the hot tea that was about to overflow with one hand, handed it to Jia Sheng, and said with a smile: "Commander Jia, please, drink it while it's hot." ”

Jia Sheng stretched out his hand to take the teacup, with his own strength of the seven grades, he had long been immune to cold and heat, but the moment his fingers touched the teacup, the corners of Jia Sheng's eyes trembled, and the pain from his fingertips made him almost take the teacup off.

He inhaled slightly in his nose, inhaled a cool breath in his chest, drank a cup of freshly boiled tea, and swallowed it with difficulty.

"Good, good tea!"

His voice trembled a little, and Jia Sheng put the cup upside down on the table, and withdrew his red and swollen hand to hide it in his sleeve, not wanting the other two envoys to see it.
