There was silence in the North Terracotta Hutong, and the two begonia trees in the courtyard had already fallen their flowers, but they had received some snow in the past two days, so it seemed that the sea of flowers had reappeared.

Zhou Tong stood under the begonia tree, looked at his subordinates kneeling in front of him, and said with some disgust: "This kind of trivial matter also needs to be talked about specifically?"

The subordinates were very puzzled, thinking that the battle between Xu Yourong and Chen Changsheng was undoubtedly the last major event of the year, why were the adults so indifferent?

"Since there is no distinction between life and death, then it is a trivial matter. ”

Zhou Tong and Tang Thirty-six had exactly the same opinion, and after saying this, he turned around and entered the room, ignoring this matter again.

Zhou Tong doesn't pay attention to this battle, and there are many people who are very concerned.

On the shore of a quiet snow lake somewhere in the north of the city, Tianhai Chengwu watched the snow on the railing, and for some reason suddenly remembered the lake outside the Chenghu Tower, and his mood became a little bad.

When he spoke to Xu Shiji these days, he was more polite than before, because Xu Yourong became a saint earlier than everyone imagined.

But because he was in a bad mood at this time, or he was also a little nervous, his attitude towards Xu Shiji returned to the past, and he was even tougher and direct.

"If you want to get on the palace, it depends on whether the other party is willing to let you rely on it, the Pope forcibly dissolved the marriage contract, and the Divine General's Mansion was ridiculed by the world again, what good will it do you?"

Tianhai Chengwu said: "Since this battle is going to be fought after all, why do you have to do those useless things in advance?" The next chapter has been updated

Xu Shiji was silent, his face was expressionless, and he was actually extremely annoyed.

Tianhai Chengwu smiled slightly and said, "Today, let's see how Yourong is angry for your father." ”

......

......

The number of people in the National Education College is not too large, and all of them together are more than 100 people.

But when so many people are walking together on the street, the momentum is a little amazing, especially when there are thousands of Kyoto people walking with them in the back, the momentum is even more huge, and it is a little shocking to watch.

After returning to Longguan not far away, you will arrive at Luoshui, or also called Luoqu, and you can already see the famous bridge not far ahead.

But not everyone could pass, except for Chen Changsheng, Tang Thirty-six and the accompanying students were all stopped at the entrance of Baliu Street.

From Baliu Street to Sifang Street, about a few miles around the bridge, it has been separated.

There was no way to enter, so the people watching the battle could only stand on both sides of the Luoshui River, and at this time there were already many people, and the black pressure along the tree embankments on both sides was extremely far away, and it seemed that there was no end in sight.

People are talking about the upcoming matchup, analyzing who is stronger and who will win.

It is completely different from this time last year, the current Chen Changsheng is no longer the original, the Qingteng banquet and Gou Han Shiyu Sword battle, the Great Dynasty tried to get the first place in the first place incredibly, and attracted the starlight to fall in Kyoto in the Tianshu Mausoleum, which was compared with the king of the year by many people, not to mention the things in Zhou Yuan later, as well as those battles that happened on the way back to the south, only to say that from early summer to the present, the National Education Academy has ushered in countless challenges, Chen Changsheng has not lost a single defeat, and what is even more shocking is that he has defeated six cultivators in the early realm of gathering stars in a row, and only then did people finally find out that the seemingly incredible victory over the border was not an accident for him, but something to take for granted.

From the initial jaw-dropping to the current natural, even a little numb, Chen Changsheng has given the world too much shock.

Not to mention the other side of this battle, Xu Yourong is originally special, with the true phoenix bloodline, she is the same as Akiyama-kun, from the beginning of her cultivation, she has been beyond the scope that ordinary people can imagine, and in fact it is beyond the scope of her peers, she does not need to participate in the Great Dynasty Examination, she is eligible to enter the Heavenly Book Tomb at any time, in fact, since she was ten years old, she has already begun to study the Heavenly Book. To this day, no one knew if she had fought against a cultivator in the Gathering Stars Primal Realm, but many people, including Chen Changsheng, did not hesitate to believe that she would definitely be able to easily do this thing that was extremely difficult to do in the traditional concept.

If Chen Changsheng has shocked the world too much in this year, then Xu Yourong was originally the most surprising discovery in the world.

"They're coming!"

Some people on the shore of Luoshui noticed the arrival of Chen Changsheng and the people of the National Education Academy, and shouted one after another, and the scene became noisy and lively.

Some people saluted him very respectfully, and some people asked loudly about something, but no one cheered him on, and there was not a single sentence in the countless words You must win......

"The news from the four squares, except for the National Education Academy and the Religious Office, basically no one buys you to win...... Even many priests in the palace bought Xu Yourong. ”

Tang Thirty-six looked at him comfortingly and said, "But you can understand that this is the desire of the people of Kyoto, not everyone's judgment of your strength." ”

Chen Changsheng thought to himself, if this is the case, it will not be any comfort.

He asked Tang Thirty-six, "What about you?"

Tang Thirty-six said: "I have confidence in you. ”

This kind of confidence is not blind, and it has nothing to do with friendship and intimacy, but is based on sober cognition.

Tang Thirty-six knew very well how serious and hard Chen Changsheng had prepared in the previous seven days, looking at the picture of Chen Changsheng calculating and deducing in the room every day, he even felt that there was no one more serious than Chen Changsheng in this world, the so-called heaven rewards hard work, as long as the starry sky is still bright, then there is no reason for a serious person like him to fail.

"I build yì you still buy me lose. ”

Chen Changsheng patted him on the shoulder, and then led the priest and walked towards Baliu Street.

Looking at his back, Tang Thirty-six wanted to say something, but in the end there was nothing, and he vaguely felt that his last sentence seemed to mean something.

Xuanyuan Po looked at him with a somewhat solemn expression, and asked puzzledly: "Just now you said that it doesn't matter if you don't distinguish between life and death, why are you starting to worry now?"

"I'm not worried about whether he will lose or not, I'm worried about my money. Tang Thirty-six turned around and walked out of the crowd.

Xuanyuan Po was even more puzzled and shouted, "What are you going to do?"

Tang Thirty-six didn't look back and said, "I'll go to the four squares to cancel the bet." ”

......

......

It was quiet in Baliu Street, and there was no one to be seen except the priest who led the way.

And when he arrived at the side alley leading to Luoshui on Baliu Street, the priest also stopped and stretched out his hand to invite Chen Changsheng.

Chen Changsheng nodded, walked towards the side alley, and after a short time, he came to the bank of Luoshui, climbed the stairs, and came to the bottom of the Nai He Bridge.

However, the bridge is the largest bridge on the Luoshui River, the bridge deck is very wide, more than ten carriages can be paralleled, the bridge body is very high, but it is not steep, compared with other bridges, it is relatively very flat, standing under the bridge and looking at the past, you will feel that the bridge deck is more like a square.

Chen Changsheng walked towards the bridge, and after a short time, he came to the center of the bridge deck.

However, there was no one on the bridge, no one on the other side of the bridge, and even where the line of sight could be seen, there was no one, it was very empty and quiet.

He stood on the bridge, looked at the flowing water under the bridge, and remembered something.

However, the piers of the bridge had been hit by a cargo ship two years ago, and the imperial court spent a lot of money to re-strengthen it with the formation.

That formation was right under the bridge.

Similarly, several important water gates in Luoshui are also attached to formations, so as to ensure that in the harsh winter, the water surface will not freeze, and those grain ships and merchant ships from the south can still pass freely. It's just that many places in Kyoto have been under martial law today, especially around the Nahe Bridge, where boats are constantly flowing on weekdays, and the spectacular Luoshui is very deserted today.

It's like this bridge.

Not a single person, not a single ship.

As he was thinking about these things, he saw a large ship slowly approaching downstream.

That ship was really big, it should be the warship of the Great Zhou Naval Division, and the top row of decks was almost parallel to the bridge deck of the Nai He Bridge.

There were a lot of people standing on the big ship, and the number of people standing on the top row of decks was relatively small, many of them were people he knew.

The sound of the water swayed softly, and the big ship slowly stopped, dropped anchor, and was about a mile away from the Nai He Bridge.

Chen Changsheng could see very clearly that on the top deck of the big ship, there were several god generals covered in armor, and the ones he knew were Xue Xingchuan and Fei Dian...... Xue He actually came back, so naturally Xu Shiji would not be missing. There are also the principals of the Qingteng Academy, and the middle is Zhuang Zhilian, the current president of the Heavenly Dao Academy. Further ahead, there were some big figures in the imperial court and the state religion, he saw Mao Qiuyu, saw the king of Linghai and Siyuan Daoren, saw the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, and also saw Mo Yu and Chen Liuwang.

But these big names are still not the ones who stand at the front.

Standing in front of the big ship were three painters from Tianji Pavilion, one of whom had watched the battle between Chen Changsheng and Zhou Ziheng at the beginning, and the other two painters had just rushed over from Tianji Pavilion, and they were all cultivators of the Gathering Star Realm. When I was in Xunyang City, when I saw Liu Qing, the assassin of the Gathering Stars Upper Realm, people thought it was incredible, so the three painters of the Gathering Stars Realm ......

Chen Changsheng looked at the people on the boat.

The people on the boat looked at him on the bridge.

Si Yuan Daoren said: "Although I have always thought this is nonsense, after all, he is the dean of the National Education Academy, and I just hope that when he loses later, it will not be too ugly." ”

Mao Qiuyu said calmly on the side: "Before it starts, it's too early to talk about victory or defeat." ”

The King of Linghai said expressionlessly beside him: "The victory and defeat have been decided. ”

In the eyes of these powerhouses who were at the peak of the Gathering Stars and were only one step away from the Divine Realm, any detail before or during the battle was enough to affect the final victory.

The King of Linghai thought that since Chen Changsheng had arrived first, he would definitely lose—it was still early before the time to make an appointment, and his arrival so long earlier may mean that his mind was not calm enough. And he was standing alone on the Nai He Bridge at this time, even if he wanted to meditate, he was afraid that it would be difficult to do it.

Because he is waiting, waiting means passivity, these moments on the bridge need to be filled with thinking, but before the war, thinking too much is never a good thing.

"It's not necessarily good, it's not necessarily bad. ”

Mao Qiuyu looked at the direction of the Nai He Bridge and said calmly: "Either the heart is impetuous, or the mind is calm and calm, first adapt to the environment, after all, it depends on the person's heart." ”

This statement makes a lot of sense.

In fact, each has its own reasoning, but because of different positions and tendencies, the reasoning and words held naturally contradict each other. In the same way, we can also see from the reasoning and words that we hold and what we say about the position of the people present at this time.

"I don't know how to practice, but judging from Dean Chen's past, there is no need to question calmness and patience. ”

The person who spoke was the Shoshu of the Ministry of Rites.

Many people cast slightly startled glances, and even Chen Liuwang also glanced sideways at this high-ranking official. It was only at this time that people knew that this secretary of the Ministry of Rites had his heart set on the old royal family!

......

......

In the Anglican Academy, I folded my sleeves and looked at the gray sky outside the window, and was silent for a long time, but finally stood up, picked up the crutches on the wall, and walked out.

Just as he walked out of the small building, he suddenly felt a slight coldness on his face, and when he reached out to touch it, he found that it was a piece of snow that was about to melt.

He looked up at the sky and realized that it was snowing again.

......

......

"It's snowing. Someone on the boat said.

The snowflakes that fell one after another made the people on the big ship move slightly, and then fell silent again.

People looked at Chen Changsheng on the bridge, thinking that if the snow fell harder, it would interfere with his state of mind at this time.

Looking at the falling snow, will Xu Yourong come earlier, or will he deliberately come later?

Snowflakes gradually turn into snowflakes.

It didn't take long for Chen Changsheng's body to be dyed a little white.

The people on both sides of the Luoshui River have held up umbrellas, and tens of thousands of umbrellas have been opened at the same time, and the picture looks a little spectacular.

Chen Changsheng couldn't see this scene, he could only see the snow falling in front of him.

He had been standing quietly on the bridge for a long time, but as the King of the Sea had judged, his heart still couldn't be completely calm.

Because he was nervous at this time.

To be precise, he was nervous all the time.

From the moment he saw the white crane landing on the shore of the lake of the Anglican Academy, he became nervous, and he has been nervous for so many days, and he still does so.

He is not used to this kind of nervous emotion, and he knows that this kind of emotion is not good for his health, and it will affect his performance in battle.

So, he gradually became a little anxious.

The source of tension and anxiety is naturally because of this battle, but more importantly, because the opponent of this battle is her.

From Xining Town to Kyoto, too many things have happened, and the source of a qiē is her, and now, he is finally going to meet her.

In the past few days, in addition to deduction and calculation, he will inevitably think about what he should say after really meeting her.

He didn't come up with it.

If you can't think of it, you don't want to.

At this moment, he finally made a decision.

He no longer looked at the big ship and the people on it, because it was the world, it was too complicated.

He no longer looked at the snow that fell from the sky, because it was unpredictable and unpredictable.

He looked at the water under the bridge.

In the depths of winter, the water is calm, but there is a constant flow below the surface.

Movement and stillness are unified in this canal, which is the unity of movement and stillness.

He looked under the bridge, and put all his thoughts into the water, and gradually calmed down, until everything was forgotten, and it was about to be empty.

At this moment, Xu Yourong came.

She came from the side of the long street, as if walking with the wind and snow, and came quietly, without any movement.

The wind and snow are very natural, and her arrival is also a natural thing, and she didn't alarm anyone, so she came under the Nai He Bridge.

At this moment, Chen Changsheng was looking at the scenery of flowing water on the bridge.

She looked at the man on the bridge looking at the view.

White cranes flew from afar, dancing with snow particles and landing on the black eaves of a house behind the bridge.

It's a beautiful scene.
