Inside the main gate of the hall and in front of the main hall, there is a large open space, and the earth is being excavated. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Xia Yan pinched a stack of drawings in his hand and compared them carefully, lest he be half a point different from the mechanism formation he had drawn earlier.

The shadow of the bamboo branch swept his eyebrows and clothes with the breeze. The eyes are still those quiet eyes, but the shirt has changed to a dark blue shirt. The new outfit and name didn't seem to make him uncomfortable, and his words and expressions were the same as before.

There was an extra piece of hanging jade on his waist - his texture and texture could not be seen clearly in the light and shadow, and he could only see a soft blue fall, which was many times softer than the blue of the shirt. The red rope used to tie the jade looked a little too fresh, and on closer inspection it was a concentric knot of delicate weaving—the same color as a sword spike he had worn before.

The comparison is the most eye-consuming. If you want to blame it, before Shen Fengming left, he forcibly asked him to leave Ouyang Xin, who was originally supervising here, too, saying that he probably needed to borrow this person to do some Gu stealing things. After weighing the two phases, Xia Yan had no choice but to let go of the people - he couldn't afford to lose the battle of Dongting, and he could only work more on his own in the matter of the new chief rudder.

Between the whole of the soil, sometimes bury the hard buckle live line, half of the time is not completed, can not stand. The crowd came up with a way to erect seven pillars between the round-trips, called "Seven Star Stakes", for passage. For a while, a number of black-clothed people jumped up and down on the pile, and if outsiders saw it, how could they know that they were building a building, and thought they were practicing light skills.

The light exercise method of the Black Bamboo Society is indeed born from the seven-star walking method, so if it is said that such a toss is beneficial to the growth of light skills, it is not completely wrong, walking for ten days and a half months, no matter how bad the kung fu is, it is as light as a swallow. But if you want to talk about the most shocking and shallow of them, you have to count Ah Yin. This young man has always been good at flying cornices and walls, and when he sees the seven star piles, he shouts that it is interesting and funny, but whenever he comes here, he must leap and move, happy but not tired, or even in the midst of busyness, he goes straight to the top of the head of others, and the left and right up and down suddenly, and he can't wait to play seven thousand tricks with the seven stakes. If he is there, he will shout and chase after him in the Houtu Hall, and he will have the strength of a competition.

Everyone knew that his surname was Wu, so he was called "Wu Yin", and after saying the two words for a long time, it was passed on as "no shadow".

Not everyone is lucky enough to get the "code name" in the Black Bamboo Club, and even those who are among the silver medalists often have to wait for a chance to get on the road. The name of "No Shadow" spread, and those who had never seen it soon knew that there was such an elusive teenager in the club. To be honest, after "Lingli", it has been a long time since there has been a character who got a code name at such a young age.

"No Shadow" can only be found on the side of Xia Yan and the single thorn. Especially if Xia Yan is not there, then he probably won't leave for a moment, whether she goes to Xiajiazhuang or Wangji Teahouse, he will follow.

"In my absence, you protect the thorns. This was the only task given to him by Xia Yan.

-------

Xia Yan is indeed often absent. He sometimes wished that one person could become three to deal with so many things, but some people turned a blind eye to his busyness, such as Suzaku.

Before going out in the morning, Suzaku threw him a post with great peace of mind—an invitation to a party in the inner city the next day. Of course, the post invited Suzaku, but Suzaku was tired of such entertainment, so he gave it to him.

"Go for me. He said it lightly.

Xia Yan wrote all her reluctance on her face. "This ...... Can Master find Master Zhang or Master Shao to do it for you?"

"No, you can't. Suzaku's answer was also very crisp.

Xia Yan had no choice but to tuck the post into his arms. "I'll have time to take a look. I have something to do today, so I'll leave first. ”

"Such an attitude—what did you say last time?—you haven't left me yet?" said Suzaku, teasing, "clearly—every day when you are outside, you should not stay in the inner city for one day? ”

"No, Master, I didn't say no. Xia Yan could only respond ambiguously.

That being said, he did forget about it all day. He had already planned to stay in Hoututang at night, and when he lay down on the couch, he touched this post from the placket of his clothes, and he was stunned.

With the glimmer of the light a little far away, he unfolded the post and took a closer look. Unexpectedly, the person who initiated the party was not a nobleman, and he hadn't even heard of the name, but he had only paid for it as the secretary of the country, saying that he had set up a banquet and invited a few learned people from Taixue, and everyone took advantage of the autumn high to taste crabs, appreciate chrysanthemums, and talk.

Xia Yan felt a little incredible—Suzaku was in this forbidden city to guard the martial arts, when had he ever been on the same road with that group of scholars? With his identity, of course, he would not disdain to talk to those powerless Huangkou students, so he just ignored it, wouldn't it be redundant to send himself there?

I can also figure out why Suzaku refused to give the post to Zhang Ting or Shao Xuanye - those two are the head of the palace and the other is the head of the guards, both of whom are full military attachés, and only he is still a Taoist priest who knows a little bit of idle talk. But my heart is still short of breath - although in the past 20 years, I have spent a large part of my time studying with Feng Yun, but I also read with the heart of an idler, what I pay attention to in my eyes and what I think in my heart is very different from these Chinese scholars.

He was troubled, and hesitantly turned the core to the last page. There are a few sentences on the last page, which specifically state that three of the "Shaoxing Six Scholars" were also invited to this Qing talk. "Shaoxing Six Scholars" -- Xia Yan had never heard of this name, and guessed that there were always a few scholars who were somewhat famous in the literati circle, so he read down the names of the three people who went to the meeting.

The first name surprised him: Fan Zhineng, a monk in the mountains.

Fan Zhineng's fame is not big or small, Xia Yan heard Feng Yun mention this person a few years ago, and when he was in Huizhou, he also heard people read a few of his poems, such as "The spring breeze blows into Jiangnan Mo, and the twin peaks are like old acquaintances", and they can still blurt out. Not long after entering the forbidden city, he learned that Fan Zhineng was promoted to a member of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and he also thought about taking a picture, but then Xia Zheng's incident happened. When he returned from Meizhou, he no longer heard of this person - but it turned out that he was a figure in the "Six Scholars of Shaoxing".

Is it worth going tomorrow?" he thought about it, but smiled again. I don't plan to be an official, and I don't write poetry. Such an outstanding celebrity, even if he admires it in his heart, it seems that he has not reached the point where he has to meet him. The remaining two are still ranked after Fan Zhineng, and they will not be more worthy of seeing him than him.

The second name is really unknown: see the donor - Meng Weiliang.

"See the donor" -- there always seems to be a kind of forgotten self-abandonment in these four words, and there is a kind of indescribable arrogance, probably a person who writes well, has a good reputation, but has a bad career.

The court has always been in charge of the power ministers, and it is not surprising that Huaicai does not meet this. Xia Yan thought to himself, and then went to see the last name.

Suddenly, he sat up. A few people in the far side of the room had just laid down, which startled him, and they all sat up. Seeing him reading a fold of paper, he quickly got up and brought the oil lamp on the table closer, and said, "Big brother, is there something wrong?"

Xia Yan did not answer. All he saw was the name in the last column illuminated more and more clearly by the approaching lamp.

The leader of the three tests - Song Ran.

Song Ran?

If I remember correctly, Heizhu recorded Song Xiao's eldest son, who was also Song Ke's eldest brother, and was called Song Ran. But--the leader of the three tests?Then it should be a champion and the first, and he should have become famous a long time ago, why does it seem to be lonely, and even Meng Weiliang, who saw the donation in the autumn, was in the front of him?

He shook his head. Even if he is really the leader of the three tests, no one will claim to be so obvious, if this Song Ran is really Song Ran, he should be low-key, how can he be so grandstanding.

However, Shen Fengming's words lingered back and forth in his heart - "Zhilu can only connect with you alone, and he will not let others know his identity." As for how to get close to you without being seen by others, I can't guess, I can only wait for him to appear. ”

He got up. "I'll go back to the city, and I won't be here tomorrow. The figure had gone for a moment, and only the lamp flickered a few times, illuminating the room in amazement.

Record the family. He said secretly in his heart. If it's you, you're really amazing.

It was the middle of the night when I rushed back to the inner city in the dark, and it happened that I was walking alone with Suzaku at the turn.

Xia Yan knew that Suzaku often patrolled the Forbidden Palace at night, so he didn't think it was strange. Suzaku was a little surprised when he saw him, and couldn't help but snort coldly: "It's rare, you're back." ”

"I promised Master to go to that Qingtan meeting tomorrow morning......" Xia Yan knew that the darkness of the night was not enough to hide his empty expression, so he quickly opened the topic, "Master, did you just come out or do you want to go back?"

"Go back early today. Suzaku said.

Xia Yan walked slowly with him. After a while, Suzaku Fang said, "You must be curious why I pay attention to such a boring invitation." ”

"Master must have done it for a reason. ”

"Do you know why a national superintendent would dare to summon such a gathering?"

Xia Yan was puzzled, "With the official rank of the secretary, wouldn't it be more than enough to summon a few Tai students and have a literati gathering, why don't you dare?"

"Literati gathering?" Suzaku shook his head, "Guozijian is not a Taixue institution, and what he usually studies is not learning, and coming to the church must also be related to court affairs and political affairs, more for the discussion of knowledge. Otherwise, if Taixue is playing by itself, it will be enough, and how can he invite me to come up. ”

"Then Master means ......"

"In this forbidden city, he will never invite my Suzaku family alone - I am the farthest person to be related to the Tai students, and even I have posted it, thinking that this post should be widely published. Of course, not everyone will go in person - after all, the person who posted is just a business, but you can't help it, because no one knows which way the wind will blow. ”

"There are a lot of such gatherings in the palace, and I don't necessarily know what kind of wind direction there is, right?" Xia Yan was still a little puzzled.

"There is no best. If not, you should just show your face, so that you don't have to make a fuss outside, and everyone in this forbidden city will forget that there is such a person as you. But according to my guess, behind this party, there is always something to do with the prince. ”

"Prince?" Xia Yan thought for a moment, "The prince of the country is under the control of the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Rites listens to the prince. ”

"That's just one of them. The second is that they invited the people of the 'Shaoxing Six Scholars' this time. ”

"I was just about to ask Master, what is the origin of the 'Shaoxing Six Scholars' and what is so special about it? I saw that the name of Fan Zhineng Fan was written in the post, and it seems that the Six Scholars should not be a person who sells his fame and reputation. ”
