Chapter 418 The storm is coming
Three days later, the imperial examination ended.

Yan Chixia and Xiaoqian were waiting at the gate of the Imperial Examination Hall early, and like most of the relatives and friends of the examinees, they were waiting expectantly.

Dang Dang Dang...

In the afternoon, with the sound of gongs, the gate of the Imperial Examination Hall opened and a group of candidates came out one after another.

After only three days, these people had almost completely changed. Their faces were sallow, they walked unsteadily, they were dressed in tattered clothes, and they exuded a pungent stench. Only the children of wealthy families were better off. They still walked steadily and had full energy. The sachets on their bodies suppressed the sour stench, but they still couldn't hide the fatigue on their faces.

Although the scholars received a lot of invisible care in the Imperial Examination Hall, they were just ordinary people after all. They were also confined in the small examination room for three days. Coupled with the extreme tension, they were also very listless, and their steps were as unsteady as if they were walking on cotton!

How are you? Are you okay? "

Yan Chixia went over and held him, asking as they walked.

"It's OK, I just can't sleep well, I'm very sleepy!"

The scholar forced a smile, followed by a huge yawn.

Yan Chixia pushed him onto the carriage. Xiaoqian walked out of the carriage and helped him in with a distressed look on her face.

The beauty's appearance did not cause much commotion.

The ferocious reputation of the fluttering flag is enough to scare those noblemen who are usually dissolute. As for those children from poor families, they are not stupid either, and they dare not lose the big picture for the small at this critical juncture!
Yan Chixia greeted Cui Erzhu who came to meet him, and agreed to have a drink together in the evening, and then left in a carriage.

After returning to the palace, the scholar exchanged some pleasantries and then went back to his room with his tired body. He did not even bother to wash up and fell asleep. Xiaoqian did not go anywhere and just stayed by the bed!

……

As night falls, Xiayang City becomes brightly lit and even more lively.

Red Mansion,

This is one of the largest restaurants in the capital, with three floors high and five floors facing each other, each with a flying bridge and railings, connecting the light and the dark; pearl curtains and embroidered eaves, and bright lights and candles.

Here, you can enjoy fine wines and delicacies from all over the world, and watch the most graceful dancers. Being able to have a meal here is a symbol of status. It is one of the most popular places for celebrities, military heroes and dignitaries to spend their leisure time!

Private room on the third floor,

Yan Chixia and Cui Erzhu sat opposite each other, with some exquisite side dishes on the table. They toasted each other, chatted casually, and had a great time.

Before they knew it, time had flown by and there were several empty wine jars under their feet!

boom!
The big bowls clinked, the wine swayed, the water sparkled, Yan Chixia raised his head and drank it all in one gulp, then put the bowl down heavily, shook his heavy head, exhaled the smell of alcohol, laughed with a red face and said, "Have fun today, it's getting late, let's meet again another day!"

"it is good!"

Cui Erzhu put down the empty wine bowl he had drunk, and his hearty laughter shook the room.

The two men left together, both reeking of alcohol and with red faces, but their steps were steady and their eyes were clear, and they were out of the restaurant in a short while.

It was almost curfew time, the dazzling and colorful gate tower had been extinguished, and the lanterns dangling under the eaves of the restaurant were being blown out one by one by the servants climbing up the ladder...

The music in the restaurant was still going on, and the people were still singing and dancing! The street was dark, with only the moonlight shining on people, and they were all walking in a hurry.

"Brother Cui, let's say goodbye now. See you next time!"

Yan Chixia bowed and said goodbye.

“Looking forward to seeing you next time!”

Cui Erzhu clasped his fists and bid farewell reluctantly.

The two just said goodbye and went their separate ways.

Yan Chixia shuttled through the dark streets and met patrolling soldiers from time to time. He did not encounter any difficulties, but was only urged to go home quickly.

The back door of Shangguan Mansion.

Yan Chixia was about to climb over the wall, but suddenly frowned. A sound of breaking air suddenly came from behind him. He turned around quickly, and brilliant golden light burst out from his body. He grabbed in mid-air, and a black invitation appeared in his hand. He immediately looked for it, his eyes flashing with golden runes, but he only saw a black shadow flashing by, making him unable to chase. His face became extremely solemn, and he was very familiar with that black shadow!

Then I opened the invitation and saw the following words:

Please come to Pingkangfang at noon tomorrow to see Liyuanchun!
七夜
Why is he here?

Why do you want to see me?

Yan Chixia was full of doubts and his face became increasingly gloomy!

The storm is coming!
After a long while, he sighed and looked at the backyard of the palace shrouded in darkness. After a moment's hesitation, he turned into a stream of light and headed towards the palace...

Yan Chixia returned to the palace and went straight to Fenglin Courtyard where the scholar lived.

He stood in the yard and sensed that the scholar was still sleeping soundly. Xiaoqian was still guarding the room. She sat in front of the tea table, her chin supported by her hand, her head nodding, and dozing off!

Yan Chixia felt relieved and then turned back to his room.

……

……

The next day, the weather was good, with clear skies and warm sunshine.

Yan Chixia got up early and sat in the yard, staying there until noon, but he still didn't see the scholar and Xiaoqian come out.

He hesitated for a moment, did not disturb her, and stood up and left silently.

……

Pingkangfang, Liyuanchun.

This is a theater, and it is quite famous in the capital!

The boss here is the head of the rice, flour, grain and oil businesses in the thirteen nearby markets. His family is rich, and he loves watching operas the most. He is a senior opera fan, and he opened this place for the sake of proximity and fun. In addition to his own opera troupe, he also often recruits famous actors from other places to perform in the capital. As long as they catch his eye, he almost never takes any commission. Over time, the troupe became famous, and became the first choice for many opera troupes from other places to come to the capital.

It was almost noon when Yan Chixia came in, and a play was playing inside.

He had never been interested in these humming and humming songs. He just took a quick look at them and couldn't tell what they were about. He just felt that the singing was sad, as if it was accusing the injustice of fate!

A servant stood on tiptoe, looking around beside the stage. Suddenly, his eyes lit up. He then bent over, ran to Yan Chixia, and asked respectfully, "Is this the hero Yan Chixia?"

"Yes."

Yan Chixia nodded.

"Please come with me."

The servant led the way and led Yan Chixia to a private room at the end of the second floor. He then bowed and took his leave quickly.

Yan Chixia stood at the door, feeling the familiar atmosphere inside that was not deliberately hidden. After hesitating for a moment, he pushed the door open and walked in.

There was only Jin Guang sitting in the room, holding a big sword and a golden horse, with a dignified look and a very arrogant look!

Yan Chixia looked at him, somewhat surprised. Sima Sanniang once said in the message that Jin Guang seemed to have lost all his cultivation after the mysterious secret technique of reversal was abolished. But at this moment, from what he saw, the other party's momentum was even greater than before!
Is it to destroy and then rebuild?
He thought to himself, his brows furrowed.

"Humph!"

Jin Guang snorted coldly, his face gloomy, clearly expressing his disgust!

He wished that the entire Yan family would be crushed to ashes!
Yan Chixia was fed up with him, so she didn't tolerate him and said directly: "If your throat hurts, go see a doctor. If it doesn't work, drink more water. Humming is useless!"

"you……"

The golden light hit the table heavily, breaking it into pieces. The golden light on his body was dense and shining, like a little sun!
"Want to take action?"

Yan Chixia's face turned cold, not at all weak. Golden light burst out from his body. He clenched his hands and drew out the Xuanyuan sword full of righteousness from the void. His whole body was sharp, like a divine sword that could open the sky!
