Chapter 16 On the occasion of the imperial examination
Hearing Zhao Qi's words, Jiang Huai smiled disdainfully: "He is still running for his life in front of the senior brother of the seventh layer of condensation, and he is not afraid to flash his big teeth when he says big things." ”
It's a pity that Zhao Qi was in a hurry to leave, and he disappeared as soon as he slipped away.
Jiang Huai shook his head, he looked at the ten pills of Bigu Dan in the bracelet, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Two pills of this Bigu Pill can withstand the hunger of January, with these ten pills, it is no problem not to eat or drink for five months." ”
"If you get to the foundation, you can get rid of food and absorb the aura between heaven and earth. "Jiang Huai doesn't care about Zhao Qi, since he can escape by opening his mouth to condense the seventh layer, he must have his own means of self-preservation.
Back at Qianli Drunken House, Jiang Huai walked in front of Cao Wenjun, and Cao Wenjun, who was busy, saw Jiang Huai, snorted coldly and bypassed Jiang Huai. She didn't have a good impression of Jiang Huai.
Jiang Huai was not angry, he laughed and threw out the last gold ingots on his body, "I'll stay here for a month, you can bring me the wine and food." ”
Cao Wenjun agreed angrily, she glanced at Jiang Huai, and said mockingly: "I went to the bank of the Xijiang River for a while, and I lost my sword." Hehe, aren't you warriors all weapons like your wives?"
Jiang Huai was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that he had forgotten the gorgeous sword used for decoration on the bank of the Xijiang River.
"A wife is not as good as a concubine, a concubine is not as good as stealing, and stealing is better than stealing. Jiang Huai laughed, and he walked up the stairs back to his residence.
"Shameless. Cao Wenjun gritted her teeth, but soon she couldn't help worrying: "Is this sentence true?"
Jiang Huai entered the room and sat cross-legged on the bed, holding a spirit stone in his hand, meditating and cultivating.
"I don't know if it's an illusion, I just feel like my cultivation speed is much faster than before. Jiang Huai has felt this way since he stepped out of the reed. In the past, his cultivation speed was like a turtle crawling, but now it was about one-third faster than before.
Jiang Huai shook his head, then abandoned this thought, he held the spirit stone, and slowly breathed the essence blood that he had lost by exerting blood escape.
This is more than a month.
At this moment, it has come to late spring, the weather is slowly starting to get hotter, and Gongjiang City is becoming more and more beautiful.
The trees in the city are slowly becoming green, and the willows on the banks of the Xijiang River are also more lush, and the rows of willow trees are charming under the rippling water of the lake.
In this month, in addition to meditating to restore the essence and blood, Jiang Huai also breathed Cao Wenjun and occasionally went to the Xijiang River to walk around. As for Zhao Qi, he hadn't seen Zhao Qi for a month.
Cao Wenjun's opinion of Jiang Huai is much better at the moment, but she still can't accept Jiang Huai as a little kid running to the bank of the Xijiang River to play.
In the past few days, the number of people in Gongjiang City has increased a lot, and most of them are scholars carrying a bamboo basket with scrolls in it.
"The imperial examination is coming, and according to Zhao Qi, I am afraid that the ghost is about to appear. Jiang Huai walked down the stairs, and when he saw Cao Wenjun, he immediately said loudly: "Wenjun, come and serve me some wine and food." ”
"Hey, here we are. Cao Wenjun agreed, she quickly brought some wine and food to Jiang Huai, and said with a smile: "Jiang Huai, you don't have much money." ”
Jiang Huai was surprised, "It's not much, I have pressed three gold ingots." It's too dark for you guys here, isn't it? ”
Cao Wenjun rolled his eyes, "You live here outside in a first-class room, and the food is also delicious, although you press a lot of gold, but it is not enough for you to use it so much." ”
Jiang Huai grabbed a piece of beef and put it in his mouth, and said vaguely: "It's okay, I can't stay for a few days, and when I can't wait enough, I'll leave." ”
"You want to leave?" Cao Wenjun said in a lost voice, she heard that the young man was leaving, and there was a faint sense of loss in her heart.
"yes. I've been living there for more than a month, and when the imperial examination is over, I'm going to continue traveling. Jiang Huai didn't pay attention to his expression, he was ready to disguise himself as a scholar and carefully probe the ghost.
He also asked Cao Wenjun, but Cao Wenjun said that it was normal for the painting boat to kill a few dusty women, and there was no need to make a fuss.
"Oh. Cao Wenjun was a little lost, she and Jiang Huai got along for more than a month, from the disdain at the beginning, to being attracted by Jiang Huai's witty, humorous, and knowledgeable, although she was still a little resentful about where Jiang Huai went, but she knew that men were like this.
Jiang Huai glanced at her and said with a smile: "Come, eat together, and accompany me to the Xijiang River after eating." ”
"Phew, I still have a job, I'm going to go yourself. When Cao Wenjun heard Jiang Huai's words, the loss in his heart all dissipated, and he knew that he would go to that place every day to fool around at such a young age, and he would be able to pay it back when he grew up.
Jiang Huai didn't mind, he had been teasing her like this from time to time for more than a month.
Jiang Huai has changed a lot from him when he just came to this world. Although his appearance has not changed, he is much more cheerful.
After eating and drinking the wine and food, Jiang Huai grabbed his sword, carried it on his body, and prepared to leave for the Xijiang River.
His sword is still an ornament, and although it is gorgeous, I am afraid that it cannot even be cut down from wood.
Jiang Huai walked to the bank of the Xijiang River familiarly, he walked to the center of Gongjiang City, and suddenly found a procession.
The team was a team of darts, and the wagons were loaded with things, and they were walking down the streets, surrounded by people watching.
Jiang Huai's spiritual sense swept away, and suddenly he found a familiar figure.
The man was relatively young, with a big knife on his shoulder, and he was gorgeously dressed.
Thinking of Gou Xun, Jiang Huai thought of Cheng Ke who was already dead, his expression darkened, if it weren't for him, Cheng Cao might not have died.
Jiang Huai silently walked through the center of the city, he didn't recognize Gou Xun, their friendship was just a meeting in Pingshui.
When he came to the bank of the Xijiang River, Jiang Huai put the sword into the bracelet, and he stood on the arched bridge, enjoying the pleasant scenery on the bank of the Xijiang River.
The banks of the Xijiang River are more lively than before, and perhaps when the scholars are rushing to take the exam, there is always an indescribable artistic conception here.
At the moment, the sky is still bright, and the red lanterns on the boats have not yet been lit, but even so, there are still many people walking deeper into the arched bridge.
On the banks of the West River, there are dozens of pleasure boats, and each cruise ship will glide deep into the West River when it is full of guests. After a while, it will come back.
Jiang Huai was about to walk to the depths of the arch bridge when he suddenly saw a man.
The man must have come from a poor background, and he was dressed in a coarse linen garment with many patches on it. He carried a worn-out bamboo basket with two books in it.
This poor scholar looked at the cruise ship in the depths of the Xijiang River with a gloomy expression.
Jiang Huai pondered for a moment, and he walked towards the man.
For some reason, Jiang Huai felt that the man might have something to do with the powerful ghost on the bank of the West River.
Jiang Huai was not far from the man, and wherever he walked behind the man, the man did not find Jiang Huai.
