Chapter 90 [Heroes in the Spring Breeze Building]
Early spring, Beijing.
At the feet of the Son of Heaven.
The snow on Mima Street hadn't completely melted yet, but there were already horse-drawn carts rushing over the still slippery stone pavement.
The destination of these carriages is the same, they all have to go to one place, Chunfeng Tower.
Chunfeng Lou is located at the end of the street of Yuma Street, originally it was the place where literati and ink writers gathered, the word spring breeze, taken from the third sentence of the poem of Meng Dongye Dengke after the champion of the previous dynasty, the spring breeze is proud, the elegance is very, and there is a festive meaning, so it is the most popular person for scientific examination, when the big test is taken every year, the most place in Beijing is the Chunfeng Building.
Later, Da Chen took the former dynasty and replaced it, the martial arts were prosperous, the importance of the martial arts test in the scientific examination completely overwhelmed the literary examination, the literati raised their children to read the seeds of the previous scenery, and gradually appeared less in the capital, but this spring breeze building was not abandoned, but from the gathering place of the literati, it became the gathering place of the martial arts.
In the past, the literati gathering, before each big test, would hold a poetry appreciation meeting in the Chunfeng Building, chanting poems while drinking, and by the way, tasting the characters during the banquet, according to the articles and poems of the past years, ranking the list of the most assembled and winning characters that year.
The warriors also inherited this habit and changed it, and the Chunfeng Lou assembly was no longer once every three years, but changed to twice a year, divided into spring and autumn seasons, called the spring and autumn list, according to the achievements and merits of the characters on the rivers and lakes within a certain period of time, and arranged the seats.
On this day, it is the time when this year's spring list is released, and because the martial arts test every three years is approaching, this time the spring list is much more important than in previous years, and it has attracted more attention, because this time the ranking will basically determine the candidate who can finally win the martial arts in this year's spring, so there are many more people than usual.
Not only the people in the capital, but also the land of Gyeonggi, Jiangnan, Mobei, Lingnan, Shuzhong, Guanzhong, Xiliang, and Bohai are all specially brought to grasp the latest news.
At three o'clock in the morning, the Chunfeng Building was almost full, and everyone got up early in the morning and didn't want to miss this grand event.
There are already small servants who bring hot breakfast to each table, and those who want to drink are also trying to be satisfied, these little servants are decent, their movements are fast and not disorderly, they are well-trained, and looking at their breathing pace, they are all in order, and they are actually people who have martial arts.
Just by looking at these little servants and peeking at the leopard, you can also know that the master of this place is not simple.
And to be able to host such a martial arts event, the owner of this place is naturally extraordinary, you must know that the original Spring Breeze Building Spring and Autumn two lists were put on the list, which was personally run by the royal family, and to take over this errand from the royal hands, not only requires huge manpower and material resources, but the most important thing is the ability to collect news.
And the one who can collect the world's news in one place, there is only one organization in this world, or in other words, only such a group of people can do it, and that is Bai Xiaosheng.
Bai Xiaosheng from the 16th year of Mingguang, that is, the 137th year of Da Chen began to take over Chunfeng Lou, at first it was also based on the old calendar, every three years, and then vigorously reformed, and from the original only on the basis of the seat, specific evaluation of characters, analysis of details, so that the participants benefited a lot, not only to know the opponent's intelligence, but also to find talents from the rookies in the rivers and lakes, fill the force, and later, more and more people came to participate in the Chunfeng Lou party, and finally let the Chunfeng Lou Spring and Autumn Gathering, become the largest annual event in the rivers and lakes.
At six o'clock, the guests in the building have basically finished eating, and the main drama is finally about to play.
The little servant withdrew the leftovers and put on the big red robe last winter, and a group of Jianghu guests sipped the thick tea soup and turned their eyes to the center of the Chunfeng Building.
In the center, on a newly built platform, a thin man with a monkey face and a short body is looking around, looking around and walking step by step from the platform to the center of the stage with an extremely obscene expression.
This person is already weird and funny, and at this time he is wearing a brocade dress that does not fit at all, which really responds to that word, and Mu Monkey is crowned.
Suddenly, there was a low laughter and whispering in the building.
"How can such a lewd character be up to the task? Isn't this Bai Xiaosheng playing us as monkeys?"
Hearing him complain, the companion beside him immediately said to him: "Eh, Brother Zihao doesn't know, this person is the lifelike Liu Rusheng's newly praised character, what is the name of Zeng He Heng, it is said that he has some ability." ”
"What else can this little ape do?" Hearing this person say this, the person sitting at the table next to him immediately spoke, sneered, and said with great disdain, "Isn't it a monkey for us?"
His last sentence immediately resonated, and the entire Chunfeng Building buzzed.
"This Bai Xiaosheng is really not as good as a year, what kind of goods are you looking for, ruined, ruined!"
"It's still the beauty of last autumn, alas, I'm still looking forward to it today, and it turned out to be such a juggler, hey!"
"Bad luck!"
......
Although the people in the audience lowered their voices and were talking, everyone was a high-roller in the rivers and lakes, and they had both ears, so how could they not hear clearly.
The little ape on the stage naturally heard it clearly, even though he was extremely thick-skinned and his chest was heaving, but he finally held back and coughed lowly: "Everyone!"
As a result, I don't know if he was too nervous or what the reason was, but this voice was broken, and his voice was already sharp, and now it was even more unbearable.
Finally, the originally low laughter turned into loud laughter, and the little ape's face really turned red into a monkey's buttocks.
"Everybody!!!" But after a pause, he let out a loud cry, and his whole face was about to bleed.
Finally, everyone here still gave Bai Xiaosheng face, so he didn't smile.
"Ladies and gentlemen, today's spring list will be announced for you below. The little ape's breath eased, and he shook in all directions, and said, "Zeng Jingheng in Xia Pengcheng, his first appearance on the stage, if there is any fallacy, please bear with me." ”
No one paid any attention to him.
Zeng Jingheng was silent for a moment, turned around and stretched out his hand to pull a rope behind him, and suddenly, a copper-colored scroll that had been prepared long ago and hung on the stage was instantly spread out, revealing the content written on the scroll in front of everyone.
The content on this copper scroll is the name of the person on the latest issue of the Jianghu Amazing Talent List.
Chunfeng Lou Spring and Autumn List, two seasons and one list, named one list, is actually three lists, respectively, three lists, respectively, amazing, Fengyun, Dragon and Tiger three lists.
The Amazing Talent List specifically includes young warriors aged 16 to 28, the Billboard is 28 to 40 years old, and the Dragon and Tiger List is selected for people over 40 years old.
Today's most concerned is the amazing talent list, in addition to the reason for the big competition, but also because of the two lists of Fengyun and Dragon and Tiger, the strength of the people on the list is not a few years of work, so even if the change has to be in a few years, it is basically unchanged in the short term.
"Well...... This first place is definitely not going to become, and I want to know it. "Those who have good eyesight have already seen it themselves, and they don't give Zeng Jingheng any face.
You must know that in previous years, out of respect for Bai Xiaosheng, even if you see it clearly, you will not say a word, and you have to wait for Bai Xiaosheng's people to announce the roll call, and then speak one by one, but this year, obviously everyone is very dissatisfied with this little ape, and even Bai Xiaosheng will not give face.
"Ahem. Zeng Jingheng couldn't help coughing again, then turned around and began to roll call, "This spring, the first place on the amazing talent list, the eighth prince, the young sword god Chen Xiaoju!"
The whispering in the building did not stop.
"The first place must be the Eighth Prince, it can't be someone else's, the sword of the Eighth Prince, tsk. ”
"Then the second place will definitely not change, although Yue Zili is one step behind the eighth prince, he can be regarded as a young genius, well, wait...... This ......"
On the stage, Zeng Jingheng continued to speak: "The second place, the name shocks Jiangdong, and Gu Xiao'an is stabbed with one sword!"
The "!!uproar" was like a wave, and the whole Chunfeng Building was boiling.
"What are you doing?!This little ape has collected the money, what is this second place?!"
"What is the name of Jiangdong, a knife to slash Gu Xiao'an, I haven't even heard of it, Gu, which sect with a name and surname on the rivers and lakes is surnamed Gu?"
"Bai Xiaosheng, this is really unreliable, it's okay to make such a character disgusting, now even the list has to be faked?"
"What is this, how can it be more powerful than Yue Zili?
However, although the crowd was excited, there were also a few strange quiets in the crowd, such as the people from the Chen Mansion in Gusu, Jiangnan, the people from the Tiejian Gate in Mobei, the people from the Qin family in Shuzhong, the people from the Dafeng Sect of Longhu Mountain, and the people from the Zhongyue Dachan Temple.
"Eh, Xiaobai, you are from Jiangnan, what is this name Zhenjiangdong, do you know each other?"
The person from Duke Chen's Mansion was Bai Wumei, he looked at the name on the bronze list, coughed a little embarrassed, hid a trace of jealousy in the depths of his eyes, and said, "I haven't heard of it, this ......"
He deliberately wanted to say and stopped.
So the crowd was completely outraged.
"Go down!! go down!!! go down!!! little ape! Get down!!
The little ape Zeng Jingheng's face was blue and red, and he didn't know if the beating was because of what happened to him, or because the person who gave him the opportunity to stand here was slandered and angry, he took a deep breath and shouted angrily: "Shut up!!"
Obviously, his skills are not deep, and his voice is not loud enough, but he really suppressed the wave of everyone's condemnation, and then he didn't wait for anyone to continue to speak, and immediately said: "Gu Xiao'an, now twenty-four years old......"
This was supposed to wait for the roll call before the speech session, but Zeng Jingheng couldn't care about it now.
"Unknown origin, debuted in Gusu, Jiangnan at the end of last summer, at the beginning of his debut, he was famous for challenging Tuoba Yanzhi, the young master of the Mobei Tiejian Gate, on the street, everyone in the city knows, Gu Xiao'an said that he would defeat Tuoba Yanzhi in the Gusu Chen family competition and win the position of the county horse!"
Zeng Jingheng said this, the faces of the people of the Gusu Chen family and the Mobei Tiejian Gate were extremely difficult to see, and some people wanted to speak up, but it was Bai Xiaosheng's people who finally came forward, they signaled that they couldn't, Bai Xiaosheng had a very deep background, no matter who dared to offend lightly, no one dared to stop it in the end, Zeng Jingheng's explanation continued.
"Later, Gu Xiao'an entered the Chen family alone, went through five battles, defeated Xie Yuliu of the Immortal Sword Sect, and Tuoba Yanzhi of the Mobei Iron Sword Sect, and in the final battle, he directly beheaded the first disciple of the Immortal Sword Sect with a sword, and the son of Chunshui Yue Zili!
Hearing this, the people of the Immortal Sword Sect were also pale, they had already encountered multiple variables in the sect recently, and now they heard someone preach their defeat in the sect in public, how could they still be happy.
However, Zeng Jingheng's words continued: " Unexpectedly, after the victory, the elder of the Immortal Sword Sect Zhenhuang out of personal grudges, secretly poisoned him, slapped it into the Gusu River, fortunately his life should not be extinguished, survived in the Gusu River, fled all the way to the left of Pengcheng, when the heroes besieged the Sword Demon West Gate, they shot righteously, shook back the heroes with a knife, and helped the Sword Demon West Gate escape, and then, the heroes chased and intercepted Gu Xiao'an, which relied on his not weak skills to kill out of the encirclement, and reunited with the Sword Demon West Gate on the river, the boat traveled in the river, the heroes came back, Gu Xiaoan drew his sword again, fought the immortal Sword Sect Ye Lack, defeated with a knife, and then fought the young master of the Mobei Iron Sword Gate Tuoba Yanzhi, cut off his right hand, killed his sword slave, and then fought nine people, all defeated, to the tenth person, broke through the innate pass in a desperate situation, had no choice but to exhaust his strength, and finally failed, was rescued by the sword demon Ximen, and broke into the river, it was night, there was a sword light from the river through the sky, and Gu Xiaoan went straight into the innate realm!"
Although it is only a few dozen sentences, everyone here can already imagine those pictures in their minds, the torrential rain on the river is like an arrow, the death fight in the river, the unyielding sword soul, and the immortal sword intent.
It wasn't until this moment that someone discovered that this little ape was actually not so unbearable, and his speech was fascinating, even if it was compared with Liu Rusheng, I was afraid that it was not much worse, and many people listened to it with a swaying heart.
"Gu Xiao'an came ashore and went straight to Chang'an, just because the sword demon Ximen saved his life and sent him to the congenital, he repaid the favor, entered Chang'an, and protected the Gu clan!
Some people can't help but shout, not only because of Zeng Jingheng's wonderful speech, but also because this Gu Xiao'an is really good, within half a year, he turned to the north and south, and even defeated countless strong enemies, which is completely worthy of the name of Zhenjiangdong and the name of stabbing with a knife.
But Zeng Jingheng hadn't stopped, he was still talking impassionedly, in fact, when he became more and more involved in the speech, not only did no one care about his appearance, but even his slightly sharp voice didn't respond too much.
"Finally, at the end of last autumn, Bafang surrounded Chang'an, Gu Xiao'an stood outside the Chang'an Listening Rain Tower, cut off the half-step Grandmaster Dachan Temple Monk Ming, Tiejianmen Tuoba Lengshan, and the Fenghuang Daoist of the Great Wind Sect, and at the most critical moment, attacked and killed Qin Shu of the Qin family in Shuzhong, turning the tide of the tide!"
Zeng Jingheng said that there was a pause here, and for a long time, everyone thought it was over, but they didn't expect him to exhale again and say, "Gu Xiao'an...... The exercises practiced are the trick of burning the body, the swordsmanship practiced is the burning of the piano, and the sword used is the burning of the city, every time they fight their way out of the encirclement in a desperate situation, every time they create possibilities in the midst of all impossibilities, they cut out with one sword, defeat all the heroes, chivalrous and courageous, make a promise to a thousand gold, turn the tide in the fall, and help the building to fall! These characters are not ranked second, who is ranked second? These characters are not called heroes, who are ...... Dare to be a hero?!"
The last sentence Zeng Jingheng didn't know if it was for Gu Yue's peace or for himself, he was so hoarse that he almost cried blood, and his whole face was completely deformed to a little hideous.
But people suddenly felt that he was very heroic at this moment.
There was silence.
Everyone has already acquiesced to Zeng Jingheng's ability, and also acquiesced to Gu Xiao's arrangement in second.
"Hey, what's the matter with the second place, what about the hero, this Gu Xiao'an ruined the big thing of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince the day before yesterday, yesterday afternoon, the Liu Chilong Grandmaster of the Red Dragon Martial Arts Hall in the west of the city has been ordered to kill him, I'm afraid he will not be alive soon, and he won't see his name spread to the world." Just when everyone was silent, a voice that was high and low, and I don't know where it came from, sounded in the entire Chunfeng Building.
"Who's—who's talking?" the crowd shouted as soon as the voice fell.
Originally, the audience was full of heroes, and when they heard someone talking like this, they must be reprimanded, but looking at the clothes on this group of people, they fell silent again.
Because this group of people who stood up suddenly were all wearing cyan embroidered dragon robes and a green dragon knife at their waists, they were obviously people from Dachen Qinglong Division.
Da Chen Qinglong Division, responsible for supervising the world, can check hundreds of officials, can be in charge of the people, is the emperor's pro-army, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, the power is great, the arrogance is fierce, even the arrogant Jianghu high-rollers have to avoid three points.
There have always been rumors in Beijing that Da Chen Qinglongsi and Bai Xiaosheng have an inexplicable relationship, but when I saw it today, it was really the case.
"Who said it just now, it's better to stand up yourself, otherwise let's find out, but it's not that simple. The leader of the Qinglong Division looked at the heroes full of heroes, and said slowly, "At the feet of the Son of Heaven, the royal family is criticized, but it is a big crime, who dares to cover it up, and the punishment will not be forgiven." ”
Still no one spoke.
The high-rollers in the rivers and lakes may be afraid of this group of ghosts in green clothes, but they are not necessarily afraid of them, Dachen has been open for two hundred years, the rivers and lakes are big, and the temples are not weak.
So just don't speak, if you really do it, this group of ghosts in Tsing Yi also has to think about it.
There was a stalemate for a while, and finally the people of the Qinglong Division sat back down.
The roll call continued, with Gu Xiaoan's paragraph, Zeng Jingheng said that it would be unimpeded.
It's just that many people here are absent-minded, and they are all thinking about Gu Xiao'an, such a young hero, but he offended His Royal Highness the Prince, I'm afraid it is...... It's a pity.
