The title of this book gave him the feeling that it was really familiar for a long time.

It makes him feel both nostalgic and unbearable to look at directly, both curious and a little ashamed!

In the end, he could only take the book quietly, put his fist to his lips, coughed lightly, and said: "Hengzhi, Brother Zhou is right, we scholars should read more books of sages, this book will be placed here for me first, and it will be returned to you after the exam." ”

"I'm ......" Chen Ce wanted to snatch it back, but he could only watch Xiao Musheng take the book into his arms.

Xiao Musheng said that it was reasonable and justified, and he was embarrassed to refute it, and in the end he could only reluctantly look at the book that he had taken away, and said unwillingly: "Ziqing, then you remember to return me after the test." ”

"Don't worry."

As he spoke, Xiao Musheng stretched out his right hand to him again.

"No, the book has already been given to you." Chen Ce clasped his hands in his arms and looked at Xiao Musheng vigilantly.

Xiao Musheng sighed and said, "I asked you to hand over to me the 'Zhishi Lu' that Fang just promised to borrow me. ”

"Oh." Chen Ce suddenly realized, and hurriedly handed the book to Xiao Musheng.

Lu He, who had been watching for a long time, couldn't help laughing and said, "I see that Brother Heng's background is not low, why do you look so afraid of Brother Ziqing?" ”

"It's not that I'm afraid." Chen Ce touched his nose and said: "Although Ziqing looks easy to get along with, when it comes to the truth, he is not inferior to his father in the slightest, not to mention, his words are reasonable, if I refute it, it will really be mine." ”

As he spoke, Chen Ce put the pen he won from guessing the word puzzle in front of Lu He and said, "In today's competition, Brother Wen Yuan also made a contribution, so I will leave this pen to you." ”

He watched Lu He's pen for too long, and it was already bald, and this new brush was just right to use.

Lu He hurriedly refused, waved his hand and said: "I just sang a riddle, but I don't dare to take credit, if I want to say that I want to contribute, it is also Brother Xiao who has contributed the most." ”

Seeing that Lu He drew his attention to himself, Xiao Musheng raised his feet and walked out of the room, saying as he walked: "It has nothing to do with me, you can discuss it yourself, it is enough for me to have this book!" ”

Listening to the sound of the two behind him, and then smelling the familiar fragrance of plum blossoms in his memory, the corners of Xiao Musheng's mouth couldn't help but rise, although the guests in Qingyun Building were like clouds at the moment, extremely noisy, it did not affect his mood at all.

Now that I am living again, everything is still there, nothing has happened yet, fortunately!

……

When night falls, darkness becomes the umbrella of those who have a heart, and some intrigues are staged one after another.

The Red Sleeve Workshop is the largest place to find pleasure in Shengjing, and at night it will sing and dance, and the laughter and laughter will not stop.

Outside a room on the third floor of the Red Sleeve Workshop, a middle-aged man pushed the door in, he looked back behind him, and made sure that no one was following, so he locked the door and walked to the room.

He walked to the wooden cabinet in the room, which was as tall as a person, and there was a blue and white porcelain vase on it......

After about three turns, the inconspicuous wall next to the wooden cabinet also flipped over, until the middle-aged man stopped, and then a secret door appeared that only allowed one person to pass through.

The middle-aged man took out a candle from the wooden cabinet, lit it with a fire breaker, and then walked in cautiously and step by step.

Entering the secret door, a long ladder winds down, and when you go down the long ladder, you will see a dark and deep passage.

There was no light in the passage, and it was completely shrouded in darkness, like a black dragon that wanted to tear him down and eat him.

But the middle-aged man seemed to have long been accustomed to it, holding a candle in one hand and blocking the oncoming wind in the other, and walked forward cautiously.

The sparks flickered, and the shadows swayed.

At the end of it was a hollowed-out door......

The middle-aged man raised his hand and knocked on the door three times, and on the other side of the door, a deep and hoarse voice sounded, which sounded like he hadn't spoken for a long time.

"What?"

"Please report to the master, the students have arrived in Shengjing, do you need to send someone to recruit them now?"

The middle-aged man bent over and spoke cautiously, not daring to be disrespectful.

The person on the other side of the door seemed to be prepared, and replied directly: "The master said, first hold the soldiers, and wait until the test is over, and then see the situation." ”

"The little one understands." The middle-aged man hurriedly responded to show that he knew, and then asked, "Is there any other instructions from the master's side?" ”

"The master once asked, the person who understood Yuan in the examination and whose name is Xiao Musheng has arrived in Shengjing?" The man's tone was flat, as if it was just an ordinary question.

"Yes." The middle-aged man pondered his words and said, "He stayed in Qingyun Building at dusk today, but unfortunately, there are no people in Qingyun Building, so no matter how much news there is, I can't hear it." ”

"In that case, send someone to keep an eye on him first!"

"This ...... But the master's side ......"

The middle-aged man hesitated slightly, although he had always passed on the news he had found to this person, but listening to his tone, sending someone to stare at Xiao Musheng was obviously not the master's order.

Does he want to listen or not?

"I'll go and say to the master, no matter what, send someone to keep an eye on him first, and if the master has other instructions, I will tell you immediately."

The middle-aged man hurriedly said, "The little one understands, and he will send someone to keep an eye on him." ”

At this moment, a small quadrangular hole suddenly appeared in that door, and in the next second, a rough hand stretched out from the hole, holding several gold nuggets in his hand.

"These are the rewards of the master."

When the middle-aged man heard this, his eyebrows were overjoyed, and his eyes instantly lit up a lot, and he hurriedly stretched out his hands to take it.

"I'm sorry you thanked my master for me."

The man behind the door said in a flat tone, "The master said that you deserve it." ”

It was as if every word the middle-aged man said had been anticipated by the "master".

At this time, only one-third of the candle was burned, and when the middle-aged man saw this, he hurriedly said, "If there is nothing else, the little one will go back first." ”

The passage was too long, and there were many branches in it, and if the fire was not enough, he was afraid that he would not be able to get out smoothly.

"Hmm."

As the person behind the door answered, the surroundings fell silent again......

The middle-aged man returned the way he came, and after restoring the things in the room to their original state, he tidied up his clothes, opened the door of the room, and walked out as usual.

Walking to the second floor, a girl from the Red Sleeves Workshop walked up to him step by step, only to see her say with a coquettish face: "Master Chang, how long have you been here, why don't you play for a while?" ”

The middle-aged man smiled a lot, stretched out his hand to hug her, sniffed the fragrance of the woman in his arms, and felt her graceful posture, inevitably feeling a little impetuous.

But he had other things to do at the moment, so he took out a piece of broken silver, put it in her hand, and said with some displeasure: "Good, this time I have to be busy with other things, and I will come back next time." ”
