The Jin Palace, full of friends.

Li Shiyu, the second county lord of the King of Jin, has been in China for ten years, and has both talents and appearances, this competition to recruit relatives, one is to find a good son-in-law, and the other is to recruit talents from all over the world for the use of the Jin Kingdom, after all, Li Shiyu can only marry one person, but take this opportunity to entertain the young chivalrous warriors of the rivers and lakes and envelop the forces of the rivers and lakes.

Suzaku Street, a high-rise building from the ground, is called Qingyu Pavilion. The high platform is about ten zhang, extremely wide, and it is obviously a martial arts arena.

Thousands of empty alleys in Jinyang City all gathered in the Qingyu Pavilion, wanting to see the county lord's face, and wanting to see the young chivalrous warriors of the rivers and lakes competing on the same stage.

There are no rules for this competition, as long as you are under the age of 30, regardless of your background or sect, you can sign up if you want to participate.

The seats in the restaurants around the Qingyu Pavilion were booked out early, and the seats were full.

It's bustling and lively.

A swordsman dressed luxuriously, but the boots he wore had been washed a little white, obviously he had spent all the money in his pocket to buy a suit, and carefully listened to the gossip of the people around him.

Although an old man is dressed as an ordinary rich man, but his bearing is extraordinary, he is obviously an official of the temple of the Jin Kingdom, the old man stroked his white beard, and said in a loud voice: "The two county lords compete to recruit talents from all over the world to gather, Qingzhumen Huangshan, Xiao Yuhe of the Carefree Sect, and Tie Jinsong of the Iron Head Gang." There are also Qilian Iron Gun Gate Lu Shujing, Huajian Sect Yang Xiaoice, Langya Wang Clan's Wang Erzhu, Wang Erzhu is the seventh master of the Qingyun List, which can be described as the talent of the juniors of the rivers and lakes. Chen Jingtang, the eldest disciple of Jinyang Kurong Sect, is the first master of the younger generation of my Jin Kingdom, and the burden of defending the face of Jinyang Wufu is on him. ”

The swordsman who had spent all his savings just to get together was crying, and it seemed that he had no chance at all. He didn't expect that he would be able to win the last and return with a beauty, but the Jin Palace's palace had already posted a notice that anyone who could enter the top sixteen could become a monk of the Jin Kingdom, and he could also use this to get rid of a difficult life.

Xu Tianran patted him lightly on the shoulder and smiled: "Dare to ask Brother Taizun's surname?"

The swordsman cried with a sad face, and said worriedly: "Under Liu Xinsheng." ”

Xu Tianran smiled: "It turned out to be Brother Liu, in Xu Tong, I am fortunate to be lucky." When I first came to Jinyang, it happened that the lord of the second county was recruiting relatives, so I didn't want to join in the fun, I didn't know where to sign up, and I hoped that Brother Liu would tell me one or two. ”

Liu Xinsheng sighed and said: "There are many masters, where do we have a chance to get ahead in a casual cultivation, I just want to fight for luck to enter the top sixteen, so I can eat in the Jin Kingdom, it seems that God will not give me a chance at all." ”

Xu Tianran laughed and said, "Why should Brother Liu see himself so clearly, I see that Brother Liu has strong spiritual power, and he has already entered the second-grade realm, and he is also a genius among the younger generation of the rivers and lakes, so he must not be presumptuous." ”

Liu Xinsheng's nose was sour, and he was a little moved: "Thank you, Brother Xu, you are the first person to encourage me so much after traveling in the rivers and lakes for more than ten years, but I enter the Tao with painting, if I say that I use the animation brush, I ask myself that there are few opponents in the younger generation, but it is not my forte to catch and fight, alas, it is difficult." ”

Xu Tianran said with a smile: "Everything has its strengths, all have its shortcomings, even if the swordsman is chic, but he is not invincible, although the brush can only paint, but it can also fight the enemy, if Brother Liu can live and learn, it is not a fool's dream to enter the top sixteen." ”

Liu Xinsheng was in a slightly better mood, and hugged his fists and thanked him: "Thank you Brother Xu for your encouragement, and you should do your best when you make up your mind." ”

Xu Tianran hugged his fists in return, got Liu Xinsheng's guidance, and went to sign up.

The competition is divided into A, B, C, D, pentohexylheptan, Xu Tianran is in Group A, and Zhu Ziqi is in Group D.

Zhu Ziqi caught a glimpse of the sachet hidden in Xu Tianran's arms, and asked sourly: "This is the gift you gave to the second county lord, and you also sewed it by yourself, I can't see that you are quite caring." ”

Xu Tianran suddenly remembered that he hadn't explained it clearly to Zhu Ziqi, and the two of them walked into the inaccessible alleys, Xu Tianran said calmly: "Li Shiyu is my second sister, when I was a child, my mother and I were not treated well in the palace, and even the people in the high palace did not look at our mother. I have many brothers and sisters, but only the second sister treats me kindly, and she doesn't think that my younger brother, who has no cultivation roots, is a lowly person, and still treats me as my own brother. The second sister is the blood of the queen's concubine, and she will even play with me, and there have been a few palace people who secretly beat me, and the second sister taught me a lesson for the unruly palace people. In the huge Jin Palace, my relatives are just my mother and second sister. ”

Zhu Ziqi was relieved, in fact, she vaguely guessed some clues, but Xu Tianran personally sued her, she would be happier.

Zhu Ziqi smiled, I used to play with Sister Shiyu when I was a child, why have I never seen you.

Xu Tianran's face was gloomy, "My mother and I usually live in Zhuyuan, and we are not allowed to go out, and only on the Shangyuan Festival every year do we have the opportunity to go to the street to see the lanterns, which is a rare way to go out." ”

Zhu Ziqi felt distressed for Xu Tianran, he was of a similar age but had a different childhood, he was a collection of thousands of loves, but he was lonely. Master said that the wounds hidden in his heart when he was young could not be healed in his life, and when he was a child, he had too much pain in his heart, and he was afraid that there were too many wounds in his heart.

Zhu Ziqi stopped and couldn't help staring at Xu Tianran's side face, still wearing a green shirt, his nose became more and more straight, and his narrow Danfeng eyes were as deep as a lake.

Xu Tianran didn't know why, and also stopped.

Suddenly, Zhu Ziqi hugged Xu Tianran tightly from behind, and there was only one thought in his heart, and his pain would be melted by me.

Xu Tianran smelled a burst of fragrance, his face immediately flushed, and his heart beat extremely fast, but on the surface, he looked indifferent and enjoyed the rare warmth.

After a while, Zhu Ziqi let go of his hand, his eyes were lowered, and he smiled shyly.

Xu Tianran took her hand and walked in the direction of Qingyu Pavilion, it will be their turn to compete on stage soon, Xu Tianran feels that this road is too short, how much I want this road to be longer and farther, and it will be a lifetime.

Xu Tianran suddenly thought of something, and asked with a wicked smile: "Ziqi, you have always dressed as a man, will you tie your chest too tightly and not grow up in the future?"

Zhu Ziqi rolled his eyes, shaved Xu Tianran hard, and said angrily: "If you think I'm small, then you don't want me." ”

Xu Tianran smiled and said: "That's not what I mean, I think you can dress up in women's clothes in the future, don't wear men's clothes anymore, you don't see how weird the people who come from us look at us." Besides, it's uncomfortable for girls to always tie their breasts, what do you say?"

Zhu Ziqi pursed his lips, "Men in the world like women who are full of anger with big breasts and big buttocks, they are really as colorful as men in the world and as black as crows in the world." I'm dressed like this, and if you don't want to take my hand and let go, I don't force it. ”

Xu Tianran stuck out his tongue, "Where can I let go, since I love each other, don't care about the eyes of the world, I, Xu Tianran, am a man who stands up to the sky, they can't break my backbone after a few glances." ”

Zhu Ziqi smiled, "It's still as flamboyant as when I was a child." ”

Xu Tianran smiled like a spring breeze and said: "At that time, my heart was too bitter, so I used slippery words to hide the pain in my heart." Later, I was very fortunate to meet a lot of gentle people, there were Mr. Lao Baihe in Qingshan Town, you, Senior Sister, Big Hammer, Lu Xiaobu, Jiang Yan, Jiang Li, Sister Lin, Sister Lin, Yuan Hao, and the unknown wheat field. Your appearance has changed me, I was full of hatred for the world, and now that hatred is slowly dissolving, and I understand a truth in my heart, to be kind to others is to be kind to yourself. ”

Zhu Ziqi said sourly: "Yes, someone has a fairy-like life in Qingshan Town, and he wants to marry his senior sister, and someone makes a wish to change his name with his life." Also, a girl who silently writes your name a thousand times. That's a pity, if you stay in Qingshan Town, wouldn't it be a group of wives and concubines, maybe now the children can make soy sauce. ”

Xu Tianran's face was full of black lines, and it was difficult to refute, but the more he drew it, the darker it became.

Zhu Ziqi smiled "poof", "Teasing you, my Zhu Gongzi is still very confident, from now on your heart will be full of me, and I thank them for making you a better version of yourself." I will never be a vassal of men, I want to be free, I want all women in the world to be free. ”

Xu Tianran also has something he wants to do in his heart, and so does Zhu Ziqi, compared to the morning and twilight, they choose to look up at the starry sky and chase their dreams in their hearts.

Although the rivers and lakes are big, there are few dreamers.

The flow of people gradually increased, and everyone saw that the boy in a green shirt and the boy in white were clasped with their fingers, pointing and talking one after another. It is really the world that is declining, and the public is shameless, and for a while, all kinds of accusations are flying in the sky like snowflakes.

Zhu Ziqi leaned over to Xu Tianran and asked quietly, "Do you want to let go?"

Even though beads of sweat were oozing from Xu Tianran's forehead, his eyes were firm, he held Zhu Ziqi's hand tightly, and said with emotion: "For you, what about being the enemy of the world?"

Zhu Ziqi glanced at him, "Light can talk big, don't sweat if you have the ability." ”

Xu Tianran said helplessly: "When I first entered the rivers and lakes, my face was thinner, and it will be better in a few years." ”

"Are you still thin-skinned?" Zhu Ziqi smiled brightly, his eyes like a crescent moon.

Xu Tianran laughed and said: "Compared with the thousand-year-old Wang Ba in the rivers and lakes, it must be thin." ”

Zhu Ziqi also thought so.

There are three days left until the Mid-Autumn Festival Night on August 15, and these three days are the qualifiers, which will determine the 16 masters who will decide the winner on the Mid-Autumn Festival.

First of all, the first group competition, the competition system is extremely simple, the champion can choose the opponent, and the winner will continue to fight against the next challenger until defeat, and the winner is the champion. If the champion can win 20 games in a row, he can directly advance to the top 16.

Xu Tianran saw a familiar figure and waved his hand: "Brother Liu is also in Group A, it seems that we are very fateful." ”

Liu Xinsheng held a purple cone, his face full of sorrow.

Xu Tianran leaned on the root of his ear and whispered: "If Brother Liu can help me draw a portrait, I will help Brother Liu enter the top 16." ”

Liu Xinsheng was ecstatic, "Really?"

"Really. ”
