The boy didn't know how much he had drunk, but when he woke up, the cups and plates were long gone, and only a beautiful figure slept next to him.

Yan Qingli sat up and rubbed his head, and cautiously walked out of the door, feeling the cold wind in the early morning. The cold wind blows away the sleepiness, leaving only melancholy.

Maybe in the future, the two good friends will have to fight for their respective ideals. But now, he still has to prepare for going to Heiting County in two days.

Yan Qingli first asked Ma Longxing to go to Heiting County to prepare first, and Ma Longxing naturally agreed to Yan Qingli's request without hesitation.

After that, he began to prepare to pack his family's luggage. In fact, he didn't have much at home, and all he could take with him was a few sets of clothes and the books of their father and son.

"I almost forgot, there is still the exam......" Yan Qingli sighed with his armrest, and sure enough, he couldn't escape the fate of the exam anywhere.

The imperial examination in Shenzhou is almost the same as the ancient imperial examination in the previous life, both of which are the courtyard examination, the township examination, the palace examination, and what Yan Qingli wants to participate in is the upcoming imperial examination.

And there is only one month left before the first exam that Yan Qingli is about to take, which makes Yan Qingli feel like a surprise review during the exam week.

However, according to Yan Qingli's previous life, although he was not proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, he remembered a lot of poetry and songs, because he met his teacher in high school, so he was very interested in poetry and even ancient literature.

Therefore, Yan Qingli believed that the imperial examination would definitely not stump him, and the northern land would definitely circulate his great works.

"Grandma drops, the sages all copy poems, and I can't copy a few too much!" Yan Qingli recalled that when the male protagonist of the various time-traveling novels he read in his previous life used Li Bai Dufu's poems, he even imagined that he was the male protagonist, and now the opportunity is just a month later!

But what is currently in place is Qin Nan's deflated calf thing.

It is said that Qin Nan's mansion has guests like clouds, all of them are equipped with unique skills, and he is also a sinister and cunning person, not to mention that there is also a good brother-in-law, Luo Yun, the city lord of Youzhou. As the saying goes, a strong dragon can't overpower the head snake, Yan Qingli must make all kinds of preparations to go to Heiting County.

The first thing is to prevent Qin Nan's ambush on the road, if he is lucky enough to reach Heiting County, Qin Nan's troubles will definitely come in a steady stream.

Yan Qingli didn't know if Qin Nan had been staring at the Yan family in the past few years, but the half-day needle in the back of his head must have been sent by Qin Nan, a despicable villain. What Yan Qingli didn't know was that at the time of the Deer Festival, Qin Nan's henchman Qin Mu and the three Jianghu guests had already been disposed of.

Therefore, the relationship between the Yan family and the Qin family has already reached the point where water and fire are incompatible.

……

The City Lord's Mansion of Youzhou City

"Brother, why don't you go directly to the mansion of the city lord of Youzhou, but go to Beirong Village first?" Cheng Yun sat in a palatial carriage, opened the curtain and said to Cheng Mu outside the window.

"Didn't you say it, my father's instructions are said to have been divined by the great priest's astrological observation." Cheng Mu, who was riding a pure white tall horse, replied.

It turns out that Cheng Yun and Cheng Mu are not ordinary people, but the most unusual people in Shenzhou, the prince and the princess. Cheng Mu is the fourth prince of the current Emperor Changning, Song Chengmu, and Cheng Yun is the emperor's youngest daughter, Princess Xining, Song Chengyun. Both of them are the children of Empress Murong Ying, and they are biological brothers and sisters.

And the purpose of their coming to the north is to investigate Youzhou. Because the secret agent has a letter, the city lord of Youzhou has a rebellious heart. Although the Changning Empire gradually declined, natural and man-made disasters continued, but there had never been a rebellion of officials at the level of city lords, and the emperor was afraid that everyone would listen to the wind and rain and arouse their rebellion.

Luo Yun is the concubine of the Luo family in the capital, and the Luo family is a scholar family that has existed since the founding of the Changning Empire, and its ancestors have made outstanding contributions to the construction of the Changning Empire. Subsequently, he made efforts to run the academy and cultivated countless talents.

Because of this, the successive emperors of the Changning Empire relied too heavily on the officials of the Luo family, which led to the emergence of the Luo Party in the officialdom, and when the emperor realized this problem, it was too late to stop it.

And the great priest in their mouth comes from the divination institution established when the Changning Empire was founded, called the Stargazing Tower, and the highest official is called the Great Commander, in addition to the left and right two Commanders, four young Commanders, and apprentices, collectively known as the Stars.

Among them, Da Si Ming is the person with the most powerful divination ability in the stargazing building, stargazing and divination damage life expectancy, so the entire stargazing building is lifeless, Song Chengmu grew up by the side of Da Si Ming since he was a child, so he has great respect for this old man.

"Brother Huang, why don't we say goodbye?" Princess Xining asked.

"Because I think that kid is kind of interesting to you, stinky boy." Song Chengmu replied with a calm face.

Princess Xining turned red and didn't know what to say.

"No, I can't, I've only known ...... for so long."

"Therefore, I choose to leave quickly, so that you don't have a chance to continue contact, you are the Xining princess of the Changning Empire, the most beloved daughter of my father. And that boy with a broken arm, although he is a little mysterious, he is not worthy of you. ”

Then there was endless silence, and it didn't take long to reach Youzhou City. Outside Youzhou City, a team of nearly 100 people was displayed in the open space in front of the city gate.

As the convoy got closer and closer, a polite man slowly walked out of the team in front of the city gate, wearing a three-python purple robe for the city lord. Soon, the convoy arrived at the city gate, and Luo Yun, the city lord wearing a purple robe of three pythons, leaned over.

"Chen Luoyun, meet the fourth prince, Princess Xining!"

Song Chengmu got off the white horse in a chic manner, walked to the carriage where Princess Xining was sitting, and then led Princess Xining down, and walked to Luo Yun who was still bowing down to give salutes, and then let go of Princess Xining's hand and hurriedly helped her.

"Hey, Uncle Luo, don't dare to be, don't dare to be! You are an elder, how can you give me a salute!? Song Chengmu said enthusiastically.

"The monarch and the ministers can't be messed up, come on, why don't you hurry up and give a salute to the four princes." Luo Yun turned around and pointed to the officials of Youzhou City behind him and his juniors.

"I've seen the four princes, Princess Xining!" So everyone behind Luo Yun bowed down and saluted together.

"Uncle Luo, don't be so polite, let everyone get up!" Song Chengmu said "anxiously".

So, in the midst of greetings, the two brothers and sisters of Song Chengmu entered Youzhou City.

……

Beirong Village

"We'll leave for Heiting County early tomorrow morning, but before that, we're going to meet someone." Yan Beizhi said.

This couldn't help but make Yan Qingli a little curious, who was his father going to see? After all, going to Heiting County this time is a fateful duel between the Yan family and the Qin family, either you die or I live, in this case, who can count on it.
