"Can't you get out?" Qin Ke's heart moved, this Ding'an City is certainly very big, but if it is a bird cage, who is the bird in the bird cage?

"The house is strictly controlled. Cai Yan shrugged his shoulders, but Qin Ke still couldn't imagine what kind of family would make him a prisoner of this Ding'an City, "Obviously tonight is the Lantern Festival, I can't come out, if it weren't for ......" He didn't go on, just thought of the way he looked when he slipped out of the house, and couldn't help but chuckle.

I don't know if my "stand-in" can still hold up now?

Secretly put on the clothes of the eldest brother and pretended to be visiting friends at night, maybe the doorman Kimber was already jumping at this time, right?

It's just that the eldest brother's shirt is really bigger, and if he hadn't worn a few layers of thick shirts inside, he really wouldn't have been able to hold up.

He couldn't help but laugh and said vaguely: "Drink, drink." ”

While drinking, the two of them kept talking about something about the outside of Ding'an City.

Cai Yan's curiosity is great, and his mind is delicate, and he has to ask about everything clearly, it seems that for him, as long as it is outside Ding'an City, it is full of all kinds of freshness.

Qin Ke thought to himself that tonight was probably the first time he had spoken until his mouth was dry except for reciting the "Five Classics Annotations", but looking at Cai Yan's excited expression, he was embarrassed not to continue.

He walked outside three times in his life, once because of the famine of the Mo family in the war, and the second time, when he left Daoxiang Village, all the way south, until Jianye City. This time I came to Ding'an, which is the third time.

Therefore, compared to Cai Yan, who has never left Ding'an City, Qin Ke does have a lot of experience on the road. It's just that Cai Yan has too many questions and too detailed, probably because he has read a lot of travelogues and regional research, and he can't answer some questions at all.

Fortunately, Cai Yan didn't feel that there was anything wrong, but just changed individual questions and continued to ask, Cai Yan's indifferent attitude made Qin Ke blush a little, usually Gao Yishui was there, he could read him as an encyclopedia, but now without him, he seems too clumsy.

It was also thanks to Qin Ke, a "drinking friend" who talked to him, the scholars downstairs breathed a sigh of relief, Cai Yan's talent and learning were enough to overwhelm the audience, with him, the more they argued, they would only become a laughing stock.

Now that his clear voice was suddenly gone, the scholars knew that they finally had a chance to shine, and the competitive atmosphere was fierce again.

Cai Yan didn't care about this, he didn't come here for any battle of will, for him fun is real, now with Qin Ke, he is equivalent to one more interesting thing than a lantern riddle, so naturally he has no interest in this matter.

"The wine is gone. But it was about half an hour less, Cai Yan smiled, Qin Ke was about to call Xiao Er to drink, but he stretched out his hand to stop Qin Ke, with a somewhat playful smile on his face, slowly raised his head, he looked at the lanterns that were still hanging high, selected one, and said casually: "The mountains and rivers in the countryside are different, and it is the word 'green'." ”

As soon as his voice sounded, the noisy Jiuxianju fell silent again, and everyone thought that Cai Yan no longer planned to participate in the guessing puzzle, and they were all like roosters who had stopped their chests, and they had to show their talents tonight.

However, Cai Yan's voice sounded again broke their wishes, Chen Gongzi on the first floor didn't know the situation upstairs, his face was gloomy for a while, and said: "It's okay, the previous question, this Cai Yan must have happened to steal the question of Jiuxianju, so the answer was like a stream, and he didn't have an answer to the rest of the part, so naturally he couldn't answer it." Now he replied, but he had only come up with an answer after trying to break his head. ”

He raised his head, looked at it, and said proudly: "Look, this answer may not be right, Xiao Er hasn't reported his name yet, which proves that his answer is still biased." The mountains and rivers in the countryside are different, and it is not necessarily a green word. ”

The soldiers around him all nodded yes, and their fighting spirits were high again.

Upstairs, Cai Yan, who had drunk too much wine, had a ruddy face, blinked, looked at Xiao Er with a smile, and said, "Xiao Er." Little two. ”

"Ah, what?" Xiao Er, who was snoring in the corner, woke up suddenly, and then he remembered the special instructions of the shopkeeper just now to let him live here, who knew that he had fallen asleep because no one had guessed the riddle for too long.

"The mountains and rivers in the countryside are different, and it is the word 'green'. Isn't that right?"

The identity of the young man in front of him is not simple, if the shopkeeper knows that he is sneering...... Thinking of this, he secretly slapped himself in his heart, and quickly nodded like a chicken pecking rice, regardless of whether the answer was true or false, and said continuously: "I can't be wrong, I can't be wrong......"

"Don't get me wrong, or you'll make it look like I'm bullying you. Cai Yan grinned.

Xiao Er smiled flatteringly: "Where is it, the son is only eight buckets high, and the correct answer to the puzzle is just a matter of hand, and the little admiration." ”

After speaking, he shouted vigorously at the top of his voice: "Cai Gongzi answered seventeen questions correctly this round!"

The sharp voice resounded through the Jiuxianju, and the originally proud expression of Chen Gongzi on the first floor suddenly became as gray as coal ash, and even all the sitting scholars had a momentary pause in their movements, and at this time, they could say again and again in their hearts: "Coming...... Here we go again......"

And what happened next was indeed not beyond their expectations, this genius who came from nowhere began to solve the puzzle one after another, with Xiao Er's screams one after another, the lanterns were taken off one by one, at this time, even if they had a good temper, they began to can't help but scold their mother.

"What do you mean? Do you tease us? If you have the ability to answer the question, wouldn't you just answer it all at once? And deliberately leave time to tease us?"

"That's right, this Cai Yan doesn't seem to be a gentleman, just a villain who has no talent to learn, but has not learned the way of a saint......! Full of poetry and books without knowing humility, it's really ...... Insult Sven! Insult Sven!"

Even a few of them had already rubbed their shoulders, rolled up their sleeves, and planned to go upstairs to have a good fight with Cai Yan, but they were quickly persuaded to go back by their friends.

Today, there are people here, if they really go from guessing lantern riddles to fighting with fists and feet, I am afraid that not only will they lose their share in front of everyone and be punished by their fathers, but even their future careers will be affected by this.

And Qin Ke, who was also sitting on the railing, listened to the noise downstairs and said helplessly: "Are you deliberately provoking them?"

"Who messed with it?" Cai Yan chuckled, her voice was exceptionally crisp, like a silver bell, but it stopped abruptly, she coughed, took the wine jug handed over by Xiao Er, and simply threw the cup to the ground and smashed it.

Xiao Er's eyelids trembled, and after all, he didn't dare to say a word and stepped back.

Cai Yan grabbed him, and this force made his body shake twice, so frightened that Qin Ke hurriedly supported his crumbling body with both hands, otherwise there would be one more talented person here tonight who "can't pick up stars and fall off the building".

Cai Yan didn't care, and smiled at Xiao Er: "Eh, don't leave yet, what about the one who said that he would get the first prize and give a jar of thirty-year-old wine?"

Xiao Er was stunned and said, "But the son hasn't won the first place yet......"

Cai Yan looked up with a smile and counted at the lantern: "One, two, three......"

He didn't count until six before he continued, "Counting the previous ones, how many did I get right in total?"

"Forty-seven ......" small two words.

"Who has the most but me?"

"It's the son surnamed Yang, and he answered thirty-six questions correctly. ”

"Isn't that the end? Even if he answers all six questions correctly, he won't be more than me, what is it?" Cai Yan said with a smile, "It's just right, today's Lantern Festival, the six characters are going well, I don't understand." Hurry up and bring up that jar of wine, and it just so happens that I will also taste the taste of Jiuxianju's thirty-year-old wine......" When he finally finished speaking, he couldn't help but burp.

"Good ......" Xiao Er hurriedly agreed, and ran downstairs as soon as he slipped through the smoke, looking at him like that, he wished he had two more legs.

Cai Yan turned around and said with a smile: "It's not that I provoked them, it should be that they don't know how to write the word defeat." ”

Qin Ke could only nod, thinking that now those scholars knew how to write the word "defeat", and it was estimated that the people in the whole building were about to hate Cai Yan.

But looking at Cai Yan's relaxed and indifferent appearance, he really didn't seem to care much about it.

He looked at the street that was still lively, the sound of silk and bamboo and the noise of people were still mixed, but Qin Ke's eyes suddenly froze, and he sensed that something was wrong.

He secretly warned himself to be careful, slowly turning his gaze, and finally, he saw downstairs, a man wearing a black-faced rakshasa mask, looking up at him.

The eyes of the two met in the air.
