"Phew..."

The bell rings, resounding through the heavens and the earth.

This is the sixth bell ringing since the start of the national examination two months ago.

The earliest two bells rang when Xia Xun killed 3,000 soldiers of the royal family in the Yumu Village pit, and the god of attachment wanted to cover up and rang continuously. The five bells rang on the second day after Xia Xun became the lord of Qu Long, and since then, a golden bell has sounded on time every six to eight days.

The bell rings far away, conveying 20,000 miles.

The sound echoed, and the wilderness roared.

The ringing of each bell seems to urge the remaining candidates in the examination room to hurry up and fight a duel, so as not to delay the future by playing in the mountains and rivers. It also seems to remind everyone who can hear the bell that the most severe time of the national examination is gradually approaching. When the bell of Armageddon rings, it will be a friend or foe, and a friend may also need to see the truth with a knife and a gun. And this sixth bell rings, which means that the examination room of the national examination is only less than 8,000 miles away. Many forces have to be forced to move out of their nests.

It's just that the bell of such a terrible scenery is quite unpopular in the territory of Qulong Mountain...

Because, the rape flowers planted here are about to bloom.

Rape flowers are extremely easy to grow, and they are extremely tenacious and have a short flowering time. It is precisely because of the above three factors that Xia Xun will choose to use it to sow seeds in the Qulong Mountains. Now it has been 20 days since the first batch of seeds were sown and landed, and within a radius of four or five miles near the foot of Qulong Mountain, there are already green vegetables all over the field. And looking at it from afar, a radius of 100 miles has already undergone earth-shaking changes.

The original desolation is no more, the bustle has replaced the loneliness, the withered yellow weeds are covered by verdant vegetable seedlings, and the greenery is full of hundreds of miles. The cauliflower near the foot of the mountain is growing well, and the cauliflower at the farthest point is just beginning to sprout, but thousands of people have already divided the radius into dozens of areas.

Almost all of these people are not people from Qu Longshan...

They came from different forces in the Fangcunxi examination room, and even further away. Moreover, as early as the eighth day of Xia Xun sowing cauliflower, they came here one after another. It's just that there weren't many of them at that time. The reason on the surface is just to see the spectacular scene of this sea of flowers blooming, so I helped to grow vegetables and built a few permanent grass houses by the way.

And in fact, how can they have such leisure?

The drunkard doesn't mean to drink, it's true to find an excuse to settle down next to Qu Long.

And the reason for this is quite simple.

Xia Xun had already spoken, and he didn't want to move his troops before the bell rang on the ground nine. And Qu Longshan, as the most powerful force in the current national examination room, even the royal family did not dare to be an enemy at this time, and only dared to escape to the east examination room to silently accumulate energy in preparation for the decisive battle. Being able to cling to the wings of such a behemoth is undoubtedly the best natural danger barrier. Set up camp in the Qulong wasteland, and then push the boat down the river to sell Xia to find a so-called vegetable planting favor, and you will be able to live a stable life along the road. In the past, if the enemy dared to come here to seek revenge, it didn't matter if he killed people and saw blood, if he ruined the flowers here... Hehe, that would have to face Qu Longshan's rage.

With Xia Xun's wisdom, how could he not know the careful thoughts of these people?

It's just that he's happy to do so.

After all, the hundred-mile wasteland under Qulong Mountain is too big, and it would be great if someone could help. What's more, whether others fight or not has nothing to do with him at all. He just wanted to grow a vast sea of flowers, and when the sea of flowers was in full bloom, he could engrave the magnificent beauty on countless papers and give it to the peony girl in the south, and that's it. Because, this is the only thing he can do for Peony at the moment...

Therefore, when the rumors came out not long ago, saying that this sea of flowers was Xia Xun for Tang Xiaotang, Xia Xun stood up very decisively to refute the rumors. In front of Bai Xiu, Xiahou and others, he rarely told all the candidates who came to plant vegetables that the sea of flowers here was planted by him for peony, not for others. Because of this, Xia Xunke made Tang Xiaotang so angry that his eyes smoked for several days, and he didn't even want to go down.

It's just that there are losses and gains.

When Xia Xun's words were transmitted to the ears of the peony girl tens of millions of miles away through various means, either indirectly or directly, many things gradually began to become poetic.

Peony is an empathetic but jealous little girl. And Xia Xun is the worst at lying in front of Peony. Therefore, Xia Xun once explained a lot of what Peony said, which ones were true and which ones were false, and Peony actually knew it in his heart.

She had never hated Xia Xun.

She knows how good her Lang Jun is, and there will definitely not be a few women who like him. Moreover, she also absolutely believes in Xia Xun's loyalty. would never do such a foolish thing as Tang Xiaotang said behind her back. Therefore, the person that Peony has always hated is Tang Xiaotang. Tang Xiaotang knew that Xia Xun had a marriage contract, but he was still so despicable and shameless, and tried his best to destroy his innocence, and he also forcibly broke into the emotional world between her and Xia Xun and snatched love. In the end, Xia Xun had to bear a responsibility. This made Peony very annoyed, very annoyed.

It's just that from a certain point of view, Peony also saw Tang Xiaotang's unhesitation and despair towards Xia Xun. A girl's family can show such courage for the person she identifies, and she must have moved the most sincere feelings.

It's a pity that feelings are always selfish...

Therefore, after listening to the flower language, Peony took the initiative to write a letter to Xia Xun.

The letter said: And cherish, ask smallpox to be treated, and leave it for your return.

Xia Xun was overjoyed when he saw the letter, and hurriedly wrote a letter while the iron was hot and sent it south.

The letter said: It is still the same as before, the bright moon sees the heart, and the secretary is in love.

When Tang Xiaotang saw the letter, he was angry and cried on the spot.

And the next thing that happened, that is, the arrival of the so-called seventh letter, made her even more angry...

The next day, someone from Huishan came.

There were many pure yang disciples, as well as Tong Lie and other Huishan candidates.

There is nothing surprising about this, Chunyang is entrenched in Huishan and is thousands of miles away from Qulong, since the matter of Mo Xian and Mo Yan was unintentionally punctured by the little monk, the relationship between Chunyang and Xia Xun has become very delicate. Therefore, in the past, Mo Yan and Dao Sheng, Dao Jing and a few other people would bring people to run horses to join in the excitement from time to time, and recently the rape flower fields have just grown up, and their exchanges have become more frequent, but it is rare to come so many people at one time.

For their intentions today, Xia Xun probably can also have a little.

A few days ago, Daosheng came here and begged for a few baskets of double-skin milk and some delicious pastries for their little uncle. Xia Xun saw that the rape flowers were growing luxuriantly, so he made a few stir-fried cauliflower dishes for him to bring back. And today, Daosheng is here again, which can only show that the rape flower is very suitable for the taste of their little uncle. So, today I brought these dozens of people to rob vegetables...

"Eh, don't overdo it. ”

"Don't pick the tender scissors, I have to wait for them to bloom and sow seeds. The old ones haven't been blooming for long, so it's okay if you cut more. What about you, can't you hear it?

"Tsk, Xia Xun, don't be so stingy, don't you? There is a sea of flowers here, and you can eat you to death. Why are you stingy with these vegetable seedlings? ”

"I planted these rape flowers, not for you to eat!"

"That's your tyrannical thing, who is to blame?"

“......”

At the foot of Qulong Mountain, by the stream.

Miles of cauliflower fields are lush like bushes.

Perhaps because of the fertile soil, in just a few days, the cauliflower sown in the ground grew half a person tall. Dozens of Pure Yang disciples escaped into it to pick wantonly, and even the figure could not be seen when they bent down slightly. Now the flowers have not bloomed, only the faint green small buds are dotted on the vegetable poles, but it does not prevent others from imagining, when the flowers bloom in the future, the beautiful picture will be unprecedented.

"It's called mood, do you understand mood?"

"I think in the exam room, you are the only one who talks about the mood. ”

"Forget it, you don't understand. In a few days, when the thyme blossoms, you will see it. ”

“......”

Whoa...

The water is soft, and the load is healthy.

Xia Xun rolled up his trouser legs and sat by the stream, his feet soaked in the cool water, and from time to time he shouted at the people who trampled on the flowers he had carefully cultivated. Tang Xiaotang sat behind Xia Xun like a sugar cake, holding a bowl of half-eaten bean curd, pouting sullenly, and still angry with Xia Xun's sweet letter. Although it is displeased, the playful appearance of the puff is also quite cute. In the distance, Mo Xian and Mo Yan stood like wood in the vegetable bushes, and it was embarrassing to see their cross-eyed and cold-eyed appearances, and they really didn't know what to say. The two senior sisters and brothers of Daosheng and Daojing in the vicinity laughed from time to time, carefully sorting out the rape flowers picked by the disciples of Pure Yang.

Xia Xun guessed well, the cauliflower he made yesterday was indeed very suitable for Yu Youran's taste, and she ate all three plates of cold vegetables. In order not to let his little uncle starve, Daosheng and these people are also hard enough, prepared horses and sacks overnight, and set off at dawn to go straight to Qulong, and when they arrived, it was like a bandit entering the village, shouting to pack a few wagons of cauliflower back to Huishan. As everyone knows, Xia Xun told them that the rape flowers must be cooked within three hours after they are picked, otherwise they will taste rough. In desperation, Daosheng and the others had no choice but to order someone to give priority to picking the tender flowers and leaves in the vegetable field first, which was why Xia Xun was so unhappy before.

"Oh, yes. ”

After talking and laughing for a long time, Dao Sheng seemed to suddenly remember something: "Xun Shao, I have not very good news to tell you." ”

A spoon of stream water was applied to his knees, feeling the cold refreshment, Xia Xun asked playfully, "Do you want to tell me that you have to come to rob tomorrow?"

"Hehe..."

Dao Sheng and Dao Jing both smiled awkwardly.

Dao Sheng then replied: "I guess I won't have to come back tomorrow, hehe." But that's not the case. ”

"What's going on?"

"Uncle Xiao's business. ”

"Oh, is it that she's aware of our plans?"

"It's not, it's just a bit of a variable. Uncle Xiao said that when Qulong's flowers bloomed, he wanted to come to Qulong to play chess with you. ”

“......”

Xia Xun's expression froze when he heard this, and he felt that Xia Xun was moving, and Tang Xiaotang was also stunned.

Although Dao Sheng's words are plain, they are secretly murderous. The so-called Three Treasures Hall is not the kind of person who is idle and panicked. She asked Dao Sheng to speak at this time, and she must have her intentions.

And the intention is in the word chess.

Xia Xun and Yu Youran have known each other for more than half a year, and the relationship between the two has gradually evolved from hostility at the beginning to a friend but not an enemy. During this time, they played an unknown number of games. Summed up, it can be roughly divided into three rounds. One game is Yueyang Pure Yang Temple, the other is the small building of Hanlin Academy, and the other game is the salamander service not long ago. There is a hidden blade in every game, and Xia Xun is either injured or injured, and there has never been peace. Therefore, the chess that Yu Youran is talking about here can only be played by swords.

"What does she mean?" Xia Xun asked unhappily.

"That's what it means. ”

"What does that mean?"

Dao Sheng turned around quite idlely, looked at Xia Xun with an embarrassed smile, and said timidly: "Uncle Xiao said... Say that you have too many people in Qulong, so many that you can pose enough threats to her again, so... So..."

"So she wants to beat me up?"

"Well, that's probably what it means. ”

"Damn!" Xia Xun was very annoyed: "This mother-in-law really has a problem with her brain, and I still want to treat her!"

Daosheng was very embarrassed, and his embarrassed smile was more ugly than crying.

"I know it's unreasonable, but we can't stop Uncle Shi from doing something. In addition, playing chess is playing chess, and curing diseases is curing diseases, you must not mix them up. ”

"It's too much of a deception..."

Tang Xiaotang also sat up straight, put down the wooden bowl in his hand, and took over the words with wide eyes: "Your little uncle is really ungrateful enough." My father-in-law looked at Mo Xian's face, gave her food and drink, and let you pick flowers, and turned her head to bite back in the blink of an eye? Does she think I, Tang Xiaotang, are you still bullying? Or are you used to bullying our father-in-law?"

"Eh, Xianggong, have you gotten married?"

Hearing the title, Dao Sheng, Dao Jing, and the Pure Yang disciples who were busy nearby were all stunned...
