Chapter 31: The Corner Tower

Luo Chen squatted on the eaves of the Ministry of Rites all night, and sure enough, he brought back the news that the lottery had been moved.

Luo Qingzhi nodded, "That's fine, then, let's not meddle in the rest of the matter, and when the first round of the battle is over, we'll figure it out." ”

"Yes."

After Luo Chen's report, he still couldn't help but say: "Master, I think it, if you want to make a mistake in the martial arts test, you should go and coax the second son." ”

"Coax?" Luo Qingzhi asked rhetorically, "What's wrong with him, why do you want to coax?" ”

Luo Chen said: "In the past few days, the second son has been sullen and doesn't care much about people, but what about ...... As soon as you show up, he will look at you, but when you look at him, he will turn his head......"

The puzzle that had been going on for days was finally solved by Luo Chen's words, no wonder, she always felt that Gao Zhen didn't look at her in the past few days, so she turned her head.

"This," Luo Qingzhi hesitated for a moment, and continued to ask: "Yes, how do you coax?" ”

Luo Chen said "ah", "I, I haven't coaxed anyone." ”

"But," Luo Chen said, "I think so, as long as you go to his side, the second son will be fine, he likes you so much." ”

Luo Qingzhi said: "You also think he likes me very much? ”

Luo Chen rarely felt that his master was not very smart, thought about the wording, and said: "The second son likes you, and everyone who is not blind should be able to see it." ”

Luo Qingzhi sighed, at this moment, she suddenly wanted to be Zhixin, "By the way, is there any news from the Medicine King Valley?" ”

"Not yet."

Luo Qingzhi was a little worried about Zhixin, but after thinking about it, if there was something, she would definitely say it, so she would let it go first. Thinking of Gao Zhen again, he sighed again.

Luo Chen looked at his master and sighed repeatedly, "Master, you, it's okay." ”

"It's okay," Luo Qingzhi said, "I haven't slept all night, you go and rest." ”

In the martial arts field, Gao Zhen braved the rare winter sun to practice exercises, and compared with the last time I saw him practice martial arts, he has grown a lot.

Luo Qingzhi stood in the shade of the tree, hesitating for a long time, always feeling that there was nothing wrong with Gao Zhen, and it seemed that there was no need to coax, but she thought that the follow-up plan really needed to be discussed with him.

"It's grown a lot."

Gao Zhen heard the familiar sound, stopped the movements in his hand, looked at Luo Qingzhi, opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say, and after hesitation, Luo Qingzhi had already walked to him.

"I'm going to play tomorrow, will you be nervous?" Luo Qingzhi said.

Gao Zhen shook his head, "No." ”

Luo Qingzhi raised the corners of her mouth, "It's so powerful, it's not so nervous." ”

"Well, it won't." Gao Zhen said lightly.

In the past, it was Gao Zhen who kept talking, she spoke, and suddenly, Gao Zhen became silent, and Luo Qingzhi didn't know how to continue for a while.

"Hmm...... Then, you train well, I'll go back to the room first. ”

Luo Qingzhi thought that the time was not right today, so she still wanted to wait for the end of the competition.

Seeing Luo Qingzhi walking farther and farther, Gao Zhen finally couldn't help but ask: "Ah Luo, don't you have anything else to say?" ”

Luo Qingzhi turned around slowly, "Luo Chen said, you haven't been in a good mood lately, I should come to coax you." ”

Gao Zhen exhaled, "It turned out that Luo Chen said it, so you came to me......"

"What?" Luo Qingzhi didn't hear clearly, and asked, "What are you talking about?" ”

Gao Zhen pinched the corners of his clothes, looking at the woman he liked in front of him, and sometimes, he wondered if Luo Qingzhi was trying to get away with it, giving him a piece of candy every time he was disappointed, and when the taste of the sugar was about to disappear, he would make up for another one......

In the end, Gao Zhen compromised and said, "...... Arlo, I'm going to compete tomorrow, and I want to practice a little more...... When this is over, I have something to tell you. ”

Luo Qingzhi nodded, "...... Well, good. ”

On the second day, the martial arts test began

The location of the martial arts test was selected at the root of the city wall, and the Ministry of Engineering spent a month to build a martial arts platform, and the grandstand seats were placed on the city wall, so that you could intuitively watch the competition, at this moment, Luo Qingzhi was arranged on the seat of the city wall, although she was wearing a white hat, but it did not block the line of sight at all, and she could see everything on the field very clearly.

Gao Zhen and Qin Shu stood together, waiting for the lottery.

The order of the draw is still the children of the family first, the children of the poor family later, Jin Ziji and Jin Zijue draw lots successively, sure enough, the numbers are the same, and the two fight.

The other people on the field, a little surprised, but also a little happy, the competition is a wheel battle, the winner enters the next round, and the loser will play against each other in pairs to determine the ranking. The competition between the two sons of the Jin family will naturally weaken the strength of one of them and usher in opportunities for the others.

The draw continued, and it was Gao Zhen's turn, and Luo Qingzhi in the stands cast a concerned gaze.

"Yuzhou Luo Jinchao, battle, Jiangzhou Suyan."

When the eunuch's voice reached Luo Qingzhi's ears, she felt a little panicked, according to Luo Chen's intelligence, Su Yan's kung fu was good.

Su Yan looked up at the city wall and smiled slightly, with a kind of confidence that was bound to win.

At the beginning of the competition, according to the order of the draw, the first game was the second son of the Jin family, and the last game was Gao Zhen and Su Yan.

Looking at the looks of the two people in the Jin family, Jin Ziji did not panic at all, on the other hand, Jin Zijue frowned, and the two faced each other for a long time, and neither of them attacked first.

The people around began to whisper.

"What are the people of the Jin family doing?"

"It's not like you're waiting for the other party to admit defeat."

In the end, Jin Ziji took the lead in attacking, and Jin Zijue kept dodging.

Luo Chen quietly came behind Luo Qingzhi, lowered his voice and said, "Master, the results of the literary test are out." ”

"How's it going?" Luo Qingzhi asked.

"The second son of the Jin family, the second son of Su, and the second son are all in the top ten."

"What is the second son?" Luo Qingzhi asked.

"First." When Luo Chen said this, he still had a proud look.

Luo Qingzhi nodded, "Okay, it's the same as expected." ”

While the two were talking, Jin Zijue no longer blindly dodged and began to attack, but he was obviously defeated by Jin Ziji.

Luo Qingzhi called Luo Chen and said: "Jin Ziji will win, you go and tell the second son and Qin Shu, let the second son lose to Su Yan, Su Yan and Jin Ziji's kung fu are above the second son, and there is no chance of winning the battle, don't get injured in vain, and then, let Qin Shu win." ”

"Yes." Luo Chen hesitated for a moment and said, "But, the second son has practiced very hard, if he is allowed to lose directly, I am afraid that the second son will be unhappy......

“......”

Luo Qingzhi looked at Gao Zhen in the corner, thought for a while, and said, "Then you, well, tell him, be more careful, don't be reckless." ”

"Yes."

Luo Chen walked down the city tower, Jin Ziji had already beaten Jin Zijue out of the field, and in the first game, Jin Ziji won.

After several rounds of competition, Su Yan and Gao Zhen finally arrived.

After the two saluted respectfully, without the slightest temptation, they directly began to compare, Su Yan's exercises were light, and he paid attention to borrowing strength, Gao Zhen was a fledgling, and he practiced kendo with Qin Shu.

Luo Qingzhi in the stands was extremely nervous, she didn't know if Luo Chen had made it clear, for fear that Gao Zhen would ignore it and do her best.

The two fought for twenty moves, and neither of them had the upper hand. Qin Shu, who was outside the court, had already won Yang Zhao before, and he was paying attention to the competition at the moment, his hands clenched.

"It seems that the second son is still doing his best." Qin Shu said.

Luo Chen sighed and said: "The second son has won the first place in the literary test, no matter what, he can enter the third test, in fact, he doesn't have to fight, this is just Su Yan, if he encounters Jin Ziji later, wouldn't it be even worse." ”

"You know what." Qin Shu sighed, "In front of the person you like, how can you admit defeat." ”

Luo Chen clasped his hands, "It's like you know it very well." ”

Not to be outdone, Qin Shu said, "In short, it must be better than you." ”

Gao Zhen on the field did not dodge Su Yan's new round of attack, was hit in the left shoulder, and stumbled a few steps.

Gao Zhen happened to retreat in the direction of Qin Shu and the others, and Luo Chen whispered, "Second son, it's okay." ”

Gao Zhen did not answer, sorted out his clothes, and took the initiative to launch a more intensive attack.

Luo Chen couldn't help but sigh deeply, and Luo Qingzhi in the stands also sighed slightly.

Gao Zhen was finally defeated by Su Yan, was beaten out of the field, and left with his head down, no one saw his expression.

At the end of the first day of competition, it was getting dark.

Luo Qingzhi was the first to get up and leave the stands, and when she walked down the stairs, she even trotted up, and she didn't even notice it, at this moment she really wanted to see Gao Zhen quickly, to comfort Gao Zhen, and tell him, "It's okay, you will definitely be my son-in-law, in fact, I have arranged it." ”

Gao Zhen also seemed to want to see Luo Qingzhi for the first time, and when he ran to the corner tower of the city wall, Luo Qingzhi also happened to run down the last step.

The two looked at each other.

"It's fine."

"I'm sorry ......"

Both of them spoke at the same time, and at the same time breathed a sigh of relief.

Luo Qingzhi listened to the footsteps behind her, stepped forward quickly, took Gao Zhen's hand, and ran to the shadow in the corner.

"Huh? Is this county lord going so fast? The woman in her fine dress said.

Mrs. Laiyang Wang, who came down one step later, said coldly: "You don't care what she does." ”

The woman said, "I barely spoke to the county lord just now, isn't this trying to get acquainted?" ”

"Huh." Mrs. Laiyang Wang sneered: "In the future, I will be a member of the Jin family, Mrs. Yang, it's too late." ”

The gap in the shadows was very narrow, and the two stood facing each other, almost tightly embraced, Gao Zhen's breathing was slow, but the swallowing sound was frequent.

Luo Qingzhi didn't dare to move, for fear of accidentally rubbing into a place where she shouldn't have rubbed, but she was angry in her heart, "Why are there so many words from two women." ”

Mrs. Young said, "No, it's only the first day." ”

Mrs. Laiyang Wang said: "You haven't heard the news in the capital recently, this Jin Ziji has been in and out of the county lord's mansion every day." ”

After finishing speaking, Gao Zhen was immediately displeased, he knew that Luo Qingzhi had a sensitive neck, so he deliberately lowered his head, close to the back of her ear, and his voice was extremely soft, "Ah Luo, why do you want to meet Jin Ziji every day?" ”

Luo Qingzhi, who was suddenly breathing, trembled, especially from the back of her ears to her neck, and there was a feeling of itching.

Luo Qingzhi didn't answer, Gao Zhen lowered her head again, Rao deliberately touched her ear, and her voice was lower: "Could it be that Ah Luo likes Jin Ziji?" ”

"No, I don't like it." Luo Qingzhi said, wanting to reach out and grab the back of her neck.

But the two of them were too tight, and they didn't give this gap at all, Gao Zhen continued to bow her head, very gently against her ears and neck, Luo Qingzhi turned her head and began to avoid, and just gave Gao Zhen a chance to kiss the other side.

"Arlo, what does this mean to continue?"
