"How do you know I'm here?" Luo Yue returned to the bed and lay down, immediately looked at Xu Changfeng and asked.

Xu Changfeng replied in a low voice: "Zhou Qixuan, the master of the Zhaoyue Gate, I just happened to know him. ”

"I see...... Luo Yue's elegant face smiled a little, and said in surprise, "I didn't expect that you have changed so much after ten years, if you hadn't called me sister, I really wouldn't have recognized it." ”

Ten years is a long transformation for Xu Changfeng. Compared with ten years ago, their appearance is like two people. This is also why he went in and out of the prison, but the Xuan Dao Machine failed to recognize him.

Of course, this is not only the reason, but also because his father is not surnamed Xu. He has followed his mother's surname since he was a child, but externally he has the same surname as his father. This is why no one still doubts that the name Xu Changfeng will have something to do with the Sky Sword Village.

Xu Changfeng smiled slightly: "I haven't seen you for ten years, Sister Luoyue, you are also a lot more beautiful." ”

"Still poor. Luoyue smiled, her eyes were a little sad, "I don't know what happened to the girl, ten years have passed, she should be coming to Chang'an, right?"

"Hmm. Xu Changfeng nodded, with a little more complicated color in his eyes.

They have been laying out the game of chess in Chang'an for ten years, and now they are finally starting to fall. No one can predict how the situation will change in the future, what kind of future they will sail towards, and what kind of fate they will follow.

Xu Changfeng looked at the seriously injured Luoyue and couldn't help but think of a lot of things......

He and Luo Yue had known each other ten years ago, and in addition to Wei Qijian's company in his childhood, Luo Yue and the girl in her mouth were left. There were very few people who knew that they had this kind of relationship, even many core members of the Lingkong Sword Village were unaware.

The two were silent for a while, and Xu Changfeng suddenly spoke: "Sister Luoyue, did you do the assassination of Mr. Han?"

Luoyue nodded, and said with a solemn face: "It was your seventh uncle who found me and asked me to use the iron sword built by Liu Jingkang to stab Han Feichi." ”

"Uncle Seven...... Sure enough, it was him. Xu Changfeng sighed helplessly, he didn't want Wei Qijian to worry about his own affairs anymore, but unfortunately the reality always backfired.

"You don't have to blame yourself. Luo Yue looked at Xu Changfeng's lost appearance and comforted softly, "After all, you are the marrow washing realm, and many things are not something that your current ability can control." ”

Xu Changfeng took a deep breath, although Mr. Qin had taught him a lot of ways to contemplate the mind in the past ten years, so that he was not afraid of danger in times of crisis. But on paper, he finally felt shallow, and he still had too little knowledge. Ten years of hard study have only laid a solid foundation for him. If he wants to grow, he still needs to go through a lot of ups and downs.

"How do you know that the iron sword was made by Liu Jingkang?" Xu Changfeng then asked.

Liu Jingkang is his own person, so he will naturally insist that the sword is the so-called falling moon, so that everyone will divert their attention from Xu Changfeng. Just like in Daoxiang Village that day, Wei Qijian's sword saved Xu Changfeng's life.

"It was an informant in the palace who said it. Luoyue said in a low voice, "She learned the clue of the iron sword from the Heavenly Supervisor, who thought that it happened to be created by Liu Jingkang." Fortunately, you have this luck, otherwise, your seventh uncle will really have to take you out of Chang'an City. ”

Xu Changfeng nodded and said no more. The reason why Zhao Xinji was able to escape from prison so easily was naturally because someone was secretly helping him. She is the person who was inserted into the court ten years ago by Lingkong Jianzhuang, and as for who it is, Xu Changfeng doesn't know.

"What about Liu Jingkang?" Xu Changfeng then asked. Although this matter can be hidden from the imperial court, it can't hide the real murderer, and he is a little worried about Liu Jingkang's safety.

Luoyue said softly: "Your seventh uncle will find a way to solve this matter, you can rest assured." ”

"Have you found the murderer?" Xu Changfeng asked in surprise.

Luoyue shook her head and said, "It's just that there are some eyebrows, and it's still a little difficult to find out." According to Liu Jingkang, the person who bought the sword that day was a man, not a Chang'an accent, and judging from his speech and demeanor, he should have just come to Chang'an. ”

Xu Changfeng thought about it, frowned and said, "The imperial court should find out here soon, it's not safe for you to stay here......"

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Luo Yue, "Do you really think that I am a weak woman as a sister? Even if the imperial court sends someone here, as long as it is not a strong person like Shen Binglin, my sister and I still have the power to protect ourselves." You don't have to worry about it, the head of the two days will come and pick me up. ”

"Uncle Gongsun, he's also coming to Chang'an......" Xu Changfeng said with some surprise.

Gongsun Longya, the head of Yeyuya, he alone has the final say in the entire Yeyuya organization. Even if the big people in the palace wanted to break through the sky, it was impossible to guess that his father and Gongsun Longya had a life-and-death relationship.

In other words, Ye Yuya and Ling Kong Sword Village are actually indistinguishable from each other.

The appearance of Ye Yuya is just a corner of this curtain. If the Sky Sword Village was really so easy to be cut down and eradicated, it would not have been possible to stand on the top of this river and lake ten years ago, and see all the mountains and small mountains.

Xu Changfeng walked out of the house and returned to Chang'an City in a carriage with Zhou Qixuan.

Along the way, Zhou Qixuan didn't ask much about the woman, everyone has their own secrets, and these secrets are the capital that allows them to gain a foothold in the rivers and lakes. Therefore, no one wants their secrets to be prying eyes on others......

The days passed calmly for a few days, and finally in the morning five days later, Chang'an City ushered in a solemn and serious event, the imperial examination!

Ten years in the cold pool, once turned into a real dragon, swayed to the nine skies, hiking on the top of the clouds.

It was gray and gray in the morning, and the crowd was already crowded outside the ceremonial hall. They were all candidates from all over the dynasty, and there were hundreds of them. Every candidate present went through several assessments and screenings, and finally got the quota for the scientific examination.

Xu Changfeng is naturally no exception, he has been preparing for the imperial examination for a long time, but every time he is assessed, he deliberately makes his grades mediocre and ranks last, which does not attract everyone's attention.

The hour had arrived, and a gong sounded from the Ministry of Rites, and the red gate slowly opened.

I saw a five-grade official in a scarlet court uniform walking out with the soldiers of Chang'an Mansion, holding a roster in his hand, standing in the middle of the gate of the Ministry of Rites, staring at the candidates and shouting: "All candidates who participate in the imperial examination, please hold the household registration documents in your hands, and the person whose name I read will bring your household registration documents and baggage for the entrance examination, if there is any attempt to cheat, they will be blasted out and banned from the examination for life." ”

After the official finished speaking, he began to read the names one by one: "Tang Wentao, Lin Qingtian ......"

The imperial examination is held for two consecutive days, and during the examination time, each candidate can only stay in his own compartment, and if he is out of the compartment, he or she will be deemed to have submitted the paper in advance and cannot retake the examination again.

Candidates checked their baggage one by one to check their identities, and before they knew it, it was time for them to wait outside the ceremonial department.

"Baishu Mountain, Xu Changfeng ......"

When Xu Changfeng heard his name, he immediately walked into the gate of the Ministry of Rites, and there was a scholar in a white robe who entered with him. Xu Changfeng couldn't help but look at the scholar with a puzzled look, and the scholar also looked at him in great surprise.

"The identity is correct, and there is no problem in the baggage, you can go in. The official in charge of the inspection returned the household registration documents to him and whispered.

Xu Changfeng put away the household registration papers, and at this time, Bai Shushan had just finished checking, and the two walked into the examination room together.

Walking on the road, Bai Shushan suddenly turned his head with a smile and asked, "You should be Xu Changfeng, right?"

"You are Bai Shushan, the author of the prison book?" asked Xu Changfeng suspiciously.

"Exactly. Bai Shushan nodded.

Xu Changfeng stopped and bowed his hand to him: "Your kindness, I, Xu Changfeng, have written it down, and if I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely repay him." ”

"You don't have to thank me. Bai Shushan shook his head a little embarrassedly, "The prison book was indeed written by me, but there was someone else who asked me to write the prison book." If you want to thank him, you should thank him, I'm just using my pen and ink to do something on the surface. If he hadn't told me these things, I wouldn't have had the ink in my belly to write this prison book. ”

"Who is the other person?" Xu Changfeng said in surprise.

At that time, he was very puzzled, why this Baishushan would offend the court for himself, it turned out that there was someone else. And that person definitely can't be Wei Qijian, otherwise Luoyue won't hide it. Besides, if Wei Qijian wants to save people, how can he use this kind of crepe method?

However, Bai Shushan shook his head and said, "That person once told me that I can't tell you who he is, and I ask Brother Xu to forgive me......"
