"Da Da Da!"

"Salsa Sha..."

Dongzhen, dozens of miles away, Yuguan Road.

The sky is like ink, the dark color is deceitful, the wind is quite urgent, and the tall old willows on both sides of the road are blown high by the wind and raise their branches, rustling. The crows flew in shock, the iron hooves gradually grassed, and dozens of yellow-labeled horses galloped across the road. The first two, although they looked hurried, did not see much panic, the leather whip was clamped under the saddle, and the legs kicked the horse's belly lightly, like a swift wind.

The small and delicate abacus is placed in the palm of one of them, and the slender five fingers seem to have a soul, and the swift dial operator is like a pearl falling on a jade plate, and it sounds softly in the howling wind.

"Got it?"

"It's coming. ”

"Is that yes or no?"

The other holds the reins with a paper fan and holds the horse's belly tightly between his legs. The long hair scarf fluttered into waves, and there was a hint of arrogance in the chic.

"Eight or nine is not far from ten, and it is basically not wrong. ”

The calculating fingers did not stop, the calculator raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at the lights of the distant town reflecting the night sky, and said to the wind: "So far, there are only three answers that can be obtained. The great strategist in the north was treacherous, but he still had to show a flaw in this hand, but this flaw was not like a real flaw. No matter how much I tried to do it, the end result was not satisfactory. I always think it's just the so-called truth that he deliberately wants the world to see, it's too weird. ”

"Da Da Da!"

The horse galloped, and the words passed by the wind.

The words are very deep, and although there are some contradictions, they have many similarities with the inferences of some resourceful and extraordinary people. After all, the matter of the Temple of Heaven is too weird, the appearance of covering the sky is in vain, and the Tang Dynasty government is silent, this is something that should not happen. The world's plotters, the ghost plot is supreme, and the ghost plot must hide the edge. Now that the action has been made, it is reasonable for the kings in the Jinluan Palace to sit still. Therefore, the resourceful transcendents who can't see the truth clearly can only point the finger at the core of the conspiracy pattern and layout of the great strategist in the north. It's just that the schemer will never be negligent, let alone let others see his methods clearly, otherwise he wouldn't be called a ghost plot.

Therefore, at the moment, the calculator is actually not sure of his answer at all.

Looking at the night sky in the distance, Fang Gongzi asked, "Which three?"

Du Shao thought for a while, and hesitated back: "Xia Yuan has a mystery in Yingshui Dao, if that great strategist wields the Southern Expedition, he will definitely have the name of a master." The king of the world, the emphasis is on the word king. The one who can make all the saints join hands to seal the flesh and blood and borrow the corpse to return the soul, the first is the former prince Li Changkang, after all, Xia Xun has the true dragon blood in his body, and the dragon can be ranked as the ninth without a tripod, and this possibility accounts for sixty percent. The second is the descendants of the royal family, Li Changkang may really be dead back then, otherwise the saint of Babel Tower back then would never give up, and today he would not sit in Jinluan for 20 years. If Li Changkang is dead, then the human soul sealed in Xia Xun's body is very likely to be Li Changkang's descendant. Only in this way can the name of Beimang be satisfied, so this possibility accounts for three out of nine. ”

At this point, Dushao suddenly didn't go on.

Seeing that Dushao only said two answers, Fang Gongzi couldn't help asking, "What about another answer?"

Du Shao shook his head: "The rest of the answer is just my conjecture." There is no foundation, no basis for deduction, the possibility is less than one in 10 million of the first two, and it is also ridiculous and generous to say it, so don't say it. ”

"Drive..."

With that said, Fang Gongzi was not reluctant.

The calf slightly increases the force of the kick.

The horses' hooves are gradually muddy and grassy, and the wind is blowing, and the scenery of Dongzhen can be vaguely seen miles away from a distance. Due to the day test, a small town is particularly lively tonight. The lights were bright, and miles of the town were gilded with orange and red brilliance. The smoke is slow, the voices of people are boiling, and the dim mountains and fields cannot hide the hustle and bustle.

After Fang Gongzi was silent for a long time, he changed his tone and said, "I really can't understand your intentions. Xia Xun has the blood of the royal family, and the situation is already extremely sensitive, not to mention that he is still chanting a tragic song in front of the Tianxi, wanting to kill the innocent dragon, and the power of covering the sky is enough to make the king jealous. With these handles, the criminal department can ask him to be beheaded if he is imprisoned. The Son of Heaven in the Jinluan Palace saw him in his eyes but let him go free, and the meaning of inviting the king into the urn was already obvious. Have you not considered that if we were to be with them, we would suffer from the fish in their ponds?"

"Bang Bang..."

Seeing that he was about to run into the town, Dushao stopped what he was thinking and put the delicate abacus into the dark compartment of his sleeve. At the same time, it also slowed down the speed of many horses.

"Of course, what you said is right, but if we are not with him due to the situation, where can we go?"

After a pause, Du Shao sorted out his thoughts a little, and continued: "The emperor chose every inch to conduct the heavenly test, and its intention was to show the will of heaven and man. Heaven and man began in square inches, and today's saints are all from Penglai. If there is no accident, this year's national examination will inevitably formulate the rules of the natural examination based on the one 80 years ago, and reproduce the grand occasion of the competition of the heroes in that year. Today, there are 130,000 candidates who go to the heavenly test, and only one scoop is taken into the top three in the big waves, and there are only less than 2,000 of them. Even if we and dozens of others have unique skills, how can we be able to defeat thousands of troops? The Kyoto imperial family is a powerful family, and the rising stars of the imperial court such as Hanlin, Huben, Tiance, Cangyun, and Yulin are in the palm of their hands. The crisis in the Southern Regions is imminent, and they will definitely overthrow the power of the candidates in the Southern Regions with the power of thunder to prove the power of the heavens. There are no eggs under the nest, I originally wanted to gather all the forces in the Southern Regions to keep warm, but I didn't expect that this session of the Southern Regions to take the exam is all mice-eyed, disdainful of being with us, and the pure yang branch that can form a joint force with a little foresight was taken into the palm of the hand by the woman of Xianxing. There is no place for us to go through the heavenly trials. With only the dozens of us, taking refuge in any of the forces will only become a stepping stone, and who else can we find if we don't be with them?"

After a long period of analysis, I rarely said it slowly and in no hurry.

During the period, dozens of galloping horses had already driven into the town, and they slowed down their pace one after another. Tightening the reins, the horse walked through the streets of the town. Most of the people who come and go are candidates going to the exam, so they don't attract much side attention.

Fang Gongzi lowered his voice and asked, "You are too full of this. He is full of more than 300 people, even with the help of masters like Mo Xian, Lei Meng, and Muto, it is difficult to hold up a piece of the world. Besides, how can you be sure that he won't use us as stepping stones?"

Du Shao looked at Fang Gongzi with a sideways face, and said with a faint smile: "What you said is right. But don't forget, his 300 men are all warriors from the North. is not afraid of life and death, and is extremely good and evil, even if it cannot attack from afar, it is more than enough to stick to the square circle. Moreover, when Bai Xiu meets him for the first time, he can lead people to ask the sky. Seven stars were ambushed, and he dared to fight with Mo Xian alone in a pure yang bloody battle of three thousand. Xiahou was calculated, and he sacrificed his life to enter the tiger's den and finally reversed the defeat. How have you ever seen him sell his own people?"

"But I really don't want to be in his company, I hate his face. Fang Gongzi said in a deep voice.

"When you become friends with him, maybe you don't hate him. ”

"Royal..."

"Da-da-da-da. ”

Pull the reins, and the horseshoe stops.

Saying that, Du Shao led dozens of men and horses to stop in the middle of the main road of the town, in front of a slightly imposing inn.

The red lacquer painted pillars, the finely carved hibiscus pattern, the moonlight silver light is lightly spread between the red bricks and green tiles, and the shops on both sides are lined up with endless guests, but here it is quite quiet. The tables and chairs in the lobby of the inn are unoccupied. The sign hanging in front of the door is even more abrupt, with the word "full" written on it.

"Uhh

Dozens of young men and women dismounted one after another, and Fang Gongzi led the horse and walked two steps to Dushao's side.

Seeing the few guys in the inn lobby who were looking at us vigilantly, Fang Gongzi asked softly, "Are you so sure that he will treat us as his own?"

Du Shao smiled meaningfully: "In his thinking, he is either an enemy or a friend. ”

After that, Dushao didn't wait for Fang Gongzi to say anything more, handed the reins in his hand to the man behind him and walked into the inn first.

“......”

When the guys in the lobby of the inn saw the visitors, they all looked very cautious and cautious.

They first took a closer look at the little scholar in front of them, and then one of them shouted with a black face: "Hey, don't you see the sign outside? ”

Dushao crossed the threshold, and looked at the speaker with a smile, clenched his fists and cushioned it, and said humbly: "Xiaosheng Yueyang City Gentleman's Gate is alone, leading thirty-two people of his generation to visit at night, and there are many disturbances, and I also ask the little brother to report on my behalf." ”

The guy squinted his eyes for three minutes: "Who are you looking for?"

Du Shao said slowly: "Huang Qi, the son of the Huang family, Xia Xun, the son of the Xia family, Mo Xian and Xiahou of the Seven Star Courtyard. ”

“......”

Several guys in the lobby exchanged glances with each other, and two of them exchanged words for a moment, and finally they both nodded silently and glanced at the guy who spoke first. The guy immediately understood, slowed down a little and said, "Then you guys wait first." ”

With that, the man turned around and walked quickly into the inner hall.

This inn is not big, but it is not small.

There was a length of hundreds of zhang in front and back, and the departing guy crossed the corridor of the inner hall and walked a long distance before reaching the backyard.

Backyard, noise...

"Don't talk about looking for less!"

"If you want to kill or cut a knife, call him the king of heaven!"

"I don't believe that there is anyone else in my generation who can beat us!"

"Haha..."

At this time, the courtyard, which was not yet spacious, was crowded with hundreds of fierce northerners. The ground is so big that some people really can't find a place to stand, so they have to climb to the roof and find a random place to listen to the chatter of the green shirts. But even if it was so inconvenient, the hundreds of northerners here listened attentively. As the green shirt said deeply, from time to time he was grinning and coaxing for a while, and at first glance it really looked like a bandit village was preparing to go down the mountain to rob the house.

"Young Master..."

The guy who came to report finally found Huang Qi's slender figure through the gap in a dignified body. He hurried over, and whispered quickly in Huang Qi's ear. Huang Qi nodded when he heard this, didn't think much about it, squeezed through the surrounding human walls, and walked to Xia Xun's side at the front.

said in a low voice: "The grandson of Dushu led dozens of people to visit, and now he is waiting in the front hall, please or not?"

"Oh. ”

Xia Xun didn't seem to be surprised at all that at this juncture, dozens of disciples from Yueyang in the Southern Regions would come to the door.

He responded, and without thinking about it, he smiled and said, "The person who comes is a guest, how can you not be invited? ”

Huang Qi was quite cautious and reminded: "The elders of these people all have some festivals with Uncle Yuan, you can be careful of deception." ”

Xia Xun shook his head quite confidently: "Don't worry, there's no fraud." ”

“......”

Huang Qi looked deeply at Xia Xun, but when he saw his confident appearance, he didn't ask any more questions. Blink an eye to the guy who made the announcement. The guy understood, turned around and squeezed out of the crowd, and hurried back the way he came...

Taking advantage of this time gap, Xia Xun put down the ruler, took the tea placed on the stone pier and drank it carefully.

Then he turned sideways and explained to Huang Qi: "I have heard about Uncle Yuan and Fang Xin's festival for a long time. Those are all things that they are young and frivolous, and they are too light compared to life and death now. Moreover, Uncle Yuan has now become a marquis in Yueyang, and the juniors such as Duxing and Fang Qingqiu dare not go against the grain, so we don't need to worry too much. ”

"Well, it's good if you have measure. ”

"Yes. ”

Huang Qi nodded casually and walked slowly back into the crowd.

Xia Xun brushed the long sleeves of his green shirt and put his hands behind his waist and waited.

The breeze was blowing, the dog's tail was trembling, and Xiahou looked quite proud, looking like a villain.

It didn't take long for the departing work to lead Dushao and dozens of people back from the inner hall. When they stepped into the courtyard and saw that they were full of fierce northerners, Du Shao, Fang Gongzi and others were all stunned. When he looked at the sheepskin map and Xia Xun hanging on the wall, Dushao knew in a blink of an eye what these northerners were doing here. In my heart, I couldn't help but look at Xia Xun's foresight for a rainy day.

Dozens of people walked along the path away of the northern crowd to the front of the courtyard and came to Xia Xun...

"In the lower Yueyang Junzi Sect disciples, alone. ”

"Iron fan Fang Qingqiu. ”

"Jiugong Zhai..."

Those who came all hugged their fists and bowed slightly, and reported their names respectively. Only Fang Qingqiu only signed up for the number, and there was no ceremony.

Xia Xun didn't mind, he also hugged his fists and put his hands on everyone, and returned the salute: "I have admired the names of all young heroes for a long time, and I am honored to see you today." ”

Du Shao smiled embarrassedly: "Looking for less than the award, compared to the heroic deeds of looking for less, it is really difficult for us to be a young hero." ”

"You're humble. ”

Xia Xun waved his hand noncommittally, and did not continue to be polite, and said directly: "The person who came is a guest, and I should have entertained him with courtesy." It's just that the trip to the heavenly test is imminent, and the important thing is more urgent at the moment, so if you flatter, let's leave it later. The place here is narrow, so you can only find a place to sit casually. Xia still has some things that need to be arranged in detail, you may wish to listen to the generals, and if there are any mistakes later, I will ask you for more advice. ”

"Uh..."

Without politeness, the words are a little stiff.

Maybe Xia Xun was too direct. didn't ask the reason, didn't ask the intention, and directly omitted many questions, and the few people were stunned. Just looking at Xia Xun's appearance, it seemed that he really didn't mean anything else, so Dushao had to ask himself: "Isn't Xun Shao going to ask me why I came uninvited?"

"Hehe..."

Xia Xunrao smiled meaningfully: "We are both fallen people at the end of the world, why do we need to know each other before? In that case, why do you and I need to say more?"

"This..."
