On the last day of September, it was drizzling and hazy.

Ten miles outside the Shendu City, you can see the towering mountain attic of the academy in the distance, where a huge bronze bell is placed.

At the beginning of tomorrow, the emperor rings the bell, and the triennial osmanthus banquet begins.

On the official road, several carriages with the sign of "Princess Changning of Xishu" were slowly moving, and Gu Ping'an leaned back against the carriage and closed his eyes to recuperate.

Opposite him sat a woman in a red dress with a peerless elegance, her qi was like an abyss and the sea, she was the best friend of Queen Li, the master of Her Royal Highness, and the rivers and lakes were honored as Jiuzhangji.

Perennial cultivation in the North Sea, terrifying cultivation above the Five Realms.

"It's hard for me to protect you, the Jiangnan Gate Valve I met at the canal ferry last night, there are three old monsters in it whose cultivation is not weaker than me, not to mention Xuanyuan, Sima, Zhongli and other holy land clans, and the Tantai family is not a friend or foe."

Jiuzhang Ji is famous for her piano method, and her voice is clear and melodious.

"It doesn't matter." Gu Ping'an smiled, looked at the familiar rain and fog outside the window, and said slowly:

"The forces of the world are present, these well-dressed high-ranking figures, will not bow their heads to deal with a mayfly, unless the mayfly pokes their sore spot, they will brazenly tear the mask of hypocrisy and benevolence, at that time the mayfly will definitely be earth-shattering, and there will naturally be a giant whale and dragon to help."

"What I want to do is to climb over Guanshan in a dignified manner, let the giant whales hear my voice, and let them recognize that I have the ability to walk on the chess floor and play chess with me."

The crow's feet in the corners of Jiuzhangji's eyes deepened, she stared at the other party for a long time, and sighed:

"I don't know what you're planning, gambling your life with your body, and betting on the future of the princess's mansion, living like a gambler."

"Shendu City has already spoken, the major holy land Tianjiao wants to see the posture of the sword leader, they are all waiting for you, each of them is extremely talented."

"How difficult is it for you to step through it step by step? Fighting alone, with a little exhaustion, he will die without a place to be buried. ”

Gu Ping'an was silent.

In this world, only the mother believes in herself, and maybe Her Royal Highness.

"I've done it before." His voice was soft and calm, as if he were talking to himself:

"I can walk from the small mountain village to the Jinluan Palace, and the city gate is only five miles from the academy, why should I retreat?"

Nine machines moved their lips, but they couldn't speak.

After half a stick of incense, the carriage stopped at the official road.

Jin Kui, deputy director of the Imperial Court Rites Department and Jing'an Division, and other officials went out of the city to greet them, after all, they were the princesses of the Xishu lineage, and they couldn't be talked about in terms of etiquette.

"I've seen Princess Changning."

The noble and elegant beautiful woman stepped out of the carriage, and the Ministry of Rites bowed and bowed, and then made a gesture of invitation.

Jin Kui hesitated for a moment, thought of the cabinet's advice, and still said loudly:

"Your Highness, according to the law of the Great Qian, Gu Ping'an is charged with fraud and cannot accompany him."

Jiang Jinshuang looked indifferent:

"Okay."

After speaking, she walked to the second carriage and stood in front of the window looking at Gu Ping'an.

"The air rises and falls, circulating for five miles, hearty."

"That millennium academy, I will hear your voice."

"This palace is waiting for you at the banquet."

Gu Ping'an smiled and bowed his head.

Jiang Jinshuang stretched out his hand.

Gu Ping'an gently held the snow-white and delicate palm, interlocked his fingers for a long time, and slowly let go.

"Let's go."

Jiang Jinshuang led the people of the princess's mansion to the academy.

Only the master was left with nine machines.

……

Twenty zhang outside the city gate, a person stands with an umbrella and a knife hanging from his waist.

The rain and fog were hazy, and a big red umbrella was held high, and under the umbrella was a man with a cloak and a man, his eyes were scarlet, and his originally handsome face was covered with scars.

"My name is Cui Che, and I won the imperial examination through the theory of righteousness, and I am the champion appointed by His Majesty."

The man repeated the chanting, and his mind went crazy.

A despicable fraudster tried in vain to take away his glory.

"I'm going to kill the fraudsters, I'm going to regain the Holy ......Grace," Cui Che's face was twisted, and he was extremely hideous.

Many spectators stopped under the city gate, and the scenery of the cross-horse parade in the past seemed to be in front of them, but now they are crazy, and they can't help but sigh.

Two routs, shrouded in demons, directly ruined a young man full of economy.

In terms of strategy, he is indeed far inferior to Gu Ping'an.

Let's hope that we can cut through the nightmare with a knife.

If Gu Ping'an wants to enter the city, he must first pass the pass of Cui Che.

If you don't have the guts to fight a life-and-death duel, then where you come from and where you go back.

"What are the odds?"

The clansmen of the Qinghe Cui clan were surrounded by an old man who was in good spirits.

It was Cui Huaizhen, who was raising hope in the wild, dressed in a Confucian robe, and her white hair was meticulously combed.

The palace test was supposed to strangle a common people's champion and avoid the bad situation of the common people stepping on the top of the heads of the gate valves.

I thought that the descendants of Zhishi would go to tea and cool, and their reputation would be even greater, and they were quite respected in the temple.

Cui Huai said calmly:

"Cui Che is in the fivefold realm after the evil fall, but the foundation is vain, fortunately, Gu Ping'an is also helping to pull out the seedlings, and it is difficult to say whether he will win or lose."

The clansmen nodded.

Since he was a child, he was determined to win the imperial examination, but he naturally abandoned the martial arts, and after being expelled from the Hanlin Academy, he relied on perverse methods to forcibly promote his cultivation.

But so do fraudsters.

"When the saint trusted her, you disappointed her, and now that no one cares about you in the government and the opposition, can you wash away the shame in a fight?"

Cui Huaizhen thought secretly in her heart.

Gai Shi Tianjiao, who really wanted to humiliate Gu Ping'an, was on the Wuli Road, and Cui Che made his own decision and wanted to take the lead in chopping off Gu Ping'an's head.

It would be better if we all died together.

Cui Che has no hope for a career in his life, and his mind is crazy, he has long been reduced to the shame of the Cui family's gate lord, as long as he exchanges his life for Gu Ping'an, he can also leave a good reputation after his death.

……

More than an hour passed, during which Princess Changning of Xishu entered the city, the spectators waited quietly, and two figures, one red and one white, appeared at the end of the sight.

Everyone even ignored the protector of the Five Realms, staring at the thin man in the snow-white robe.

He came, not taking a step back.

In fact, it is expected that they all have the extraordinary courage to go to the osmanthus feast, how can they retreat at the gate of the divine capital?

Cui Che held an umbrella in one hand and slowly pulled out a scimitar in the other, his eyes were as cruel as if they were full of venom.

Why did he hold an umbrella?

Because he wants to evoke the memory of the fraudster.

In the torrential rain that day, the fraudsters wore prison clothes, like a wild dog in an embarrassed nest, and stumbled out of the Shendu City step by step.

It's the same this time, the solemn and magnificent Jingshi can't tolerate you, a lost dog!

Heaven and earth are dead.

Gu Ping'an calmly walked to the place of three zhang, only a few steps away.

Cui Che's hand holding the handle of the umbrella was trembling, it was caused by excitement and hatred, and he said almost hysterically:

"Despicable fraudster, you or I die!"

There was no woman in the red dress in his eyes at all, he clenched the handle of the knife, the green tendons all over his body bloomed one by one, and his muscles swelled and swept the ground at the same time, swinging a knife heavily.

Gu Ping'an suddenly smiled.
