Sealing Knife

Since the reform of the imperial examination system, all the disciples in the world have named the top events of life with the gold list. With the autumn test period approaching, the scholars show that even if there are no doors and no way out, it is also a waste of sleep and forgetting food.

Therefore, when a passerby saw a young man dressed as a scholar wandering outside the Qinglou door, regardless of the trafficker's pawn, the look in his eyes could be regarded as a hatred of iron and steel, and he felt that this person's appearance was good, but it was unbearable. Great white face.

Lu Mingyuan only realized that his back was going to be pierced into the sieve by passers-by's eyes. He was about to lift his head to wipe off the thin sweat on his forehead. Unexpectedly, a gust of fragrant wind struck her. Tao: "This autumn tiger can be very poisonous. Why didn't Lu Gongzi come in and sit?"

"Miss Yu, Mo has to make fun underneath." Lu Mingyuan took a step back, first paid a salute, and then said, "I want to see Lan Chang, I wonder if Miss Yu can do something convenient?"

This is Huadeng Town, a hidden city outside Dongming Valley. Yu Sanniang stays here for years as a peripheral manager. Lu Mingyuan is a guest. If you want to visit it, please ask her to report it, which is both reasonable and courteous. However, although Yu San-niang looked delicate, she refused but she turned it over. She said: "Miss is not in the valley, and Lu Gongzi is running empty."

Lu Mingyuan couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Since playing Qin Lanshang and Shao three years ago, Bai Guimen has guarded itself like a weasel against chickens. Earlier, during the Chinese New Year holidays, it could still come to the door with the name of the school. Now it has to find every reason to accept the guests or welcome them. When he went in, he always pulled him away. From playing chess and tea with Master Shen Laomen, to studying Wenwu with Master Chu Men, he often couldn't see Qin Lanshang after a day or two.

If it was n’t for the mistress, she had to find a journey every month. The two could still meet each other. I ’m afraid he did n’t even know Qin Lanshang ’s height and length.

A group of teachers in Samadhi College looked at this matter side by side, and the same students feared that the world would not be messed up. Brother Lu Wei made a clear suggestion that he should find another girl show. Although master Qu Zhiqiu did not put his beak, Lu Mingyuan also knew that he was not optimistic. .

There was no other reason. The emperor Zhao sue the world two years ago, reexamining the old case, pardoning innocence, grievances, and curbing corruption. The Qin Gong case, once shocked, also surfaced again.

There were countless parties in the court, and there were rumors in the rivers and lakes that it was difficult to adjust. Until the emperor took the current prince Qu Zhiqiu to the suburbs to worship the wild spirits, he personally worshiped the emperor's death penalty and then rebuilt the burial site, and reopened the old case. The whole thing is final.

Last winter, Anle was divided due to civil strife, and the rebel army drove back into the water to invade Yanming City, and the border army was fighting against the blood. The hunting army asked the Xishan Mountain of Chanshan to seek chaos, and came to support the Wuxiang Temple monks and many others. The martial arts people once again engaged in war.

Among them, the seventeen-year-old Miss Bai Guimen led the ghost of the ghost to attack the ghost and cry, and blew up the Tianceng to cut off the back path, avoiding the worries of the future. Stunning rivers and lakes.

The Dragon Lance, which has been silent for more than thirty years, has seen the sun again since then.

It is said that people are afraid of being famous, and pigs are afraid of being strong. Qin Lansang used to dream of being a famous woman, but now she really made a name, but found that this is not a good thing.

Once she was still under the shadow of her elders, she did everything she could to do things, and she was lawless. They were all self-indulgent freedoms, with no burdens and burdens; now she walked from behind to the front, facing the dogs, horses, successes and failures, and her words and deeds were still. It is necessary to connect with the ancestors of the family. If you are not careful, you will not only be ignited and burned, so even if she doesn't like it, she still has to think twice.

Qin Lanshang suddenly understood what Ye Fusheng said to her then-the most pitiful thing in the world is that you are no longer a child.

However, she missed the years when she was attracting cats and dogs, but she did not regret picking up the dragon-locking gun and stood where the Bai Guimen needed.

Because of this, Qin Lanshang likes to be with Lu Mingyuan more. The scholar is about eight years older than her, but her temperament is gentle, her knowledge is wide and transparent, and her mind is gentle and dexterous, even if he does n’t say a word, only Sitting next to Qin Lansang to read a book, it was also the most gentle consolation.

She thought she could have lived with the book for a lifetime, but she forgot that he was not only Lu Mingyuan, but also the second son of the Lu family, the younger brother of today's prime minister, Qu Zhiqiu, and the next teacher of Sanmei Academy.

Lu Mingyuan said that when the teacher asked him to prepare for the autumn test, Qin Lanshang threw the stationery into the stove, carrying a lock gun and poked the seventy-two wooden men on the martial arts field into a cool heart.

She knew in her heart that Lu Mingyuan's talents, not to mention participating in the autumn exams, even the gold list won't fail, but this means that he has stepped into the temple since then and never returned to her rivers and lakes.

Qin Lanshang didn't want to block Lu Mingyuan's future, but she was unhappy in the end, she took a dozen secret lists in one breath. In addition to doing tasks in this day, she could find someone to fight and learn, Xue Xian who was far away in Mingchuan Yidu started with her, and finally let Lu Mingyuan get the news.

He was still worried about his own affairs. After he got the letter, he had n’t said anything, and he heard the spies coming to report-Baiguimen sent out invitations, and invited young people of all ages to go to Huadeng Town to participate in the competition. It's Miss Qin's husband.

Lu Mingyuan pinched the pen student in his hand.

This kind of bad idea was naturally proposed by Shen Wuduan. I do n’t know if the old naughty boy could n’t be used to Lu Mingyuan, or he simply felt that his granddaughter had reached the age of marriage, and Chu Xiwei persuaded him not to let go of it twice, and finally Ye Fusheng went away. Talked to him, and after leaving Xiaoxu Xiaozhu, he sent someone to call Qin Lanshang back, and sent a letter to Lu Mingyuan.

Tomorrow is about to open. The Huadeng Town has gathered many invited martial arts martial arts heroes. There are people who really want to fight in the ring. There are people who want to pick up the fish in the muddy water and pick up cheap ones. The three pigeons urged him to whip quickly, but he did not know that Lu Shusheng had returned from Tianjing and had ran to three horses along the way.

Lu Mingyuan was so dusty that he didn't even have time to drink, so he first came to the Baiguimen station, but it was a pity that Yu Sanniang had been ordered by Chu Xiwei and told him to eat a soft and hard nail.

Unlike Ruan Feiyu, who is aggressive and clever, Lu Mingyuan has never been embarrassed. He knows that he can't achieve his purpose here at Yu San Niang, and he bows his head to the inn and thinks about how to be good.

Leng Buding, a peanut was hit in the sky and was blocked by a white paper fan. Before Lu Mingyuan looked up, he heard a familiar laugh from the side: "This scholar, are you looking down all the way, are you looking for gold or Yan Ruyu?"

Lu Mingyuan turned around and saw two people sitting on the roadside food stand. The black man twitched his eyebrows and ate green vegetables and meatball soup. The Tsing Yi people peeled peanuts and sipped wine. A pair of peach blossoms smiled.

"Lord Chumen, Ye Xia." Lu Mingyuan greeted him and asked the boss to get a pot of tea and two plates of snacks and sit at the same table with them.

Ye Fusheng glanced at the blue of his eyes and joked: "Now the autumn test is coming, it seems that Lu Gongzi read the hard work by Bingzhuye, but why does it appear here?"

Lu Mingyuan: "I heard Lan Chang was going to recruit relatives by force, so I came over."

"What are you doing here?" Chu Xi finished the last pill like a bitter bitter bite, twisting her brows like a pimple, and looked uncomfortable from beginning to end.

Lu Mingyuan clarified his mind, and in the face of the two of them was inexplicably short, but this time it was rare to face the difficulties, saying: "Naturally came to raise relatives with Bai Guimen."

Ye Fusheng put down the wine pot, meaning "Oh" unclearly, Chu Xiwei said in a polite way: "Luke Gongzi came to raise his relatives, but he found the wrong place. My hundred ghost gates are Jianghu school, and Lan Shang is also used to Xiaoye. If you ca n’t be a wife of the official family, please ask Lu Gongzi to find another girl after the title of the gold list. "

Lu Mingyuan looked at him fixedly: "I will not go to the top of the list, nor will I find anyone."

"Lu Gongzi," Ye Fusheng said, "You are the son of the Lu family, and a student of the Southern Confucianism. The reason of entering the official is not that you can pick it up and put it down on your own impulse. After all, the children's personal affection may be delirious, and then it will be rough. It will take a lifetime to go. "

"Thank you Ye Xia for reminding me, but I was not impulsive, but I made a decision." Lu Mingyuan smiled. "When my Master was alive, let me and Brother Qu discuss the matter according to the matter, and deduced our thoughts on the chessboard map. Eventually I lost to nothing. "

Ye Fusheng said: "How do you know if you don't try it at this moment? Do you say that one failure will make you afraid?"

"Finally, I lost to my brother at the beginning, because of poor experience and even poor service concepts." Lu Mingyuan lowered his eyelids. "Everything is ups and downs. Once you get into the game, you will be intriguing. Even if you don't want to, you must learn to sacrifice, whether it is sacrificing others or Myself. "

Chu Xi's eyes narrowed.

"In the face of trade-offs, the brothers will choose to be small, and they will give up their children and change their pawns. If necessary, it will lead to misfortunes, and it is unforgiving to set up a law, but ... I can't do it." Lu Mingyuan said, "That day, Brother gave up a corner but For the dragon to die and resurrect, I take care of the sporadic but lose all. "

Ye Fusheng shook his head: "You are smart enough, but not cruel enough."

"Therefore, I can't enter the official career." Lu Mingyuan raised his eyes, "Some things are inevitable, and some people die without regret, but I don't want to become even without knowing myself, I ... I can't do it without care."

Chu Xiwei understood: "Then you can leave Tianjing this time, you should also mean Qu Zhiqiu."

Lu Mingyuan rubbed his teacup: "My brother and I have deep feelings, but our political views are different. If I use it as a help in the rivers and lakes, I will definitely increase my suspicion. In the end, I will become enemies and stand in opposition."

Ye Fusheng's fingers tapped on the table a few times: "However, do your family think the same way?"

Lu Mingyuan smiled bitterly: "The three generations of the Lu family are officials, and the elder brother guards the frontier. In the early years, I was sent to the master's door, which also made me learn to become an official. In the future, why do brothers help each other and help each other?

Chu Xi chuckled slightly: "Ambitious."

"This time I entered Beijing, I was forced by my family, and I didn't care about the official career, but these matters should be decided early, and there should be no delay." Lu Mingyuan took a sip of bitter tea. My elder brother is also a general, and now it ’s eye-catching enough. If I enter the DPRK, except for the icing on the cake, it ’s just a matter of suspicion.

Ye Fusheng smiled: "Since you can appear here now, it seems that you have achieved your goal."

Lu Mingyuan but didn't laugh.

Chu Xiwei snorted: "Why didn't you make it clear to Lan Chang earlier?"

"Because, I didn't have much confidence." Lu Mingyuan smiled bitterly, "I know Lan Chang will definitely help me, but this matter has to be resolved by myself to prevent future troubles, and it should not be implicated to her, otherwise I wouldn't even be involved now If you do n’t do well, how dare you tell her the future? "

"At least, you should tell her." Ye Fusheng held Chu Xiwei's shoulder, "You are good for her, but trust between young people is also very important. It may be goodwill to conceal at one time, but if you want to talk to She should not be delayed by these for a lifetime. "

After a pause, Ye Fusheng said: "I know Lan Shang was sad when you went to Tianjing."

Lu Mingyuan was startled, and the knuckles holding the cup were slightly white.

"Compete in recruiting relatives is the meaning of the old master. Tomorrow is about to start, and now there is no room for turning." Ye Fusheng pulled Chu Xiwei up, threw him a battle card, and went away.

The glimpse of the past was still fleeting. Lu Mingyuan just caught the battle card, and saw that the two had disappeared at the end of the long street, and no shadow could be found.

At the next day, the Huadeng Town was unprecedentedly grand, and all the martial arts people who arrived were rushing to the suburbs of Shilipo. The hundred ghost gates were rich and rich. , Melon and fruit tea, looked from above, densely packed with human heads, really beat more than a hundred, watching the lively but nearly a thousand people.

The subordinates of Baiguimen maintained order, and Chu Xiwei and other directors sat on the small wooden building built last night to watch the battle.

The battle card in Lu Mingyuan ’s hand is the No. 1 character, which is naturally the first one to beat. I do n’t know whether Ye Fusheng is partial or he wants to adjust him. These three days, he must hold the ring and win undefeated. Otherwise, once After being beaten, there is no chance to challenge again.

Upon seeing this, Chu Xi said softly, "You deliberately?"

"Want to be good with the girl, without suffering first, can you pass the level of your two grandfathers?" Ye Fusheng leaned on the Taishi chair holding the purple sand pot and looked like a master.

Chu Xiwei said: "Do you think I made him difficult?"

Ye Fusheng said in a good way: "No, I am used to you."

Chu Xiwei: "..."

A gong sounded and the contest began.

Lu Mingyuan is a descendant of Southern Confucianism. Although his martial arts strength is not comparable to those of weak scholars who ca n’t pick up his shoulders, he is also a good example of "gentlemen do n’t talk." Now he is standing on the ring, looking at a group of wielding people who are under the water, and suddenly feels that his future is not bright, it is almost crazy.

But he did not retreat, nor was he afraid.

The white paper fans opened and closed, and the plain-text scholars in plain clothes opened their palms and took a deep breath: "In the lower Lu Mingyuan, please marry Miss Qin, if you have any enlightenment, please wait here, come!"

One day later, he hung up eight colors, and a small white face was colorful, and he couldn't bear to look down.

Luo Ziting bruised him with the pre-prepared gold sore medicine, Xue Chanyi arms around and said: "Is there two days left, can I hold it?"

Lu Mingyuan put hot eggs on his eyes and held his cheeks to deflate, but when he heard the words, he cut the railroad: "Can!"

As soon as the voice fell, he heard a soft sound outside the window. Xue Chanyi frowned and stepped forward to see that there was no one outside.

The next day, Lu Mingyuan waited in the ring for one morning, and did not see his opponent from Tianjianmen. While they were looking at each other, the other party hurriedly came with the disciple, and said loudly: "confess! My brother's old injury relapse , Confess today! "

When this remark came out, everyone was in an uproar. Lu Mingyuan was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously went to see his friends, and found that it was a daze for one game, and it was obviously not that they secretly played.

Next, more than a dozen fighters confessed their defeat and left the field. From the faction to the breakthrough of their internal skills, they were in urgent need of retreat. Even unreasonable reasons for returning to their hometown to be married were found out. All of them were straightforward and impressive. After today, there is a feeling of dreaming.

After leaving, Chu Xi went to the City Inn with a dark face and kicked the door without hesitation. The girl in the green dress stepped on the window frame with one foot and didn't have time to escape.

"It hurts! Uncle, you're pulling my hair!" Qin Lanshang is nearly eighteen years old now, with bright eyes and beautiful flowers, but unfortunately he is stunned and his image is gone.

When Ye Fusheng came over, he closed the door to avoid "family ugliness", and said: "A Yao, you can get a lesson in two lessons. The girl is also a big girl. It is not easy to break the phase."

"Auntie—" Qin Lanshang cried and hugged his calf, "Uncle wants to beat me! You have to be the master!"

Ye Fusheng heard two long-lost words, and touched her frizzy head lovingly, then raised her head and said to Chu Xiwei, "You continue, fight the disabled, we keep."

Qin Lanshang instinctively found himself dead, shrinking his neck and letting go of his hands, he didn't dare to say anything.

Chu Xiwei sat on the golden horse and snorted coldly: "Dare you go to the black hand last night, but now you know you are afraid?"

Qin Lansang knew that he could not be deceived, so he simply said: "Everyone said they would marry relatives, and even if I couldn't beat them, what did they do?"

"You still have reason?" Chu Xiwei raised her eyebrows, "Do you know, you will make other people think of us by doing this? How do you think of Lu Mingyuan? Say the hundred ghost gates walk everyone to play, say Lu Mingyuan wins Not martial! "

Qin Lanshang said: "Is it fair to let him fight for three days alone?"

Chu Xiwei sneered: "He can go!"

Qin Lanshang raised his head: "Then let him go, it's a big deal, I will go with him!"

"You ..." Chu Xi was pressed down by Ye Fusheng before he finished speaking. The Tsing Yi man is now standing by the end of the year. He does n’t look old. He just calms down a lot. He pours a cup of tea to Chu Xiwei and pokes Qin Lanshang ’s head, shaking his head: "A little little branch, why Still angry like a cockfight? A Yao, you're an uncle, you have something to say, how can you be as fierce as you want to eat people? "

After finishing one, he looked at Qin Lanshang again and said, "Do you think Lu Mingyuan will lose today?"

Qin Lanshang thought about it for a while: "Maybe not today, but tomorrow will definitely not be easy, I don't want him to lose, or want him to have a good or bad."

"The contests are all on the spot, and anyone who loses a certain amount of time will watch me with your uncle. The scholar is hurt but it's okay. If you care, it's chaotic." Ye Fusheng shook his head and touched her hair. "We know that you are not happy about marrying relatives in martial arts, but you have been out in the past few years, your reputation has grown, and people have grown up. Always consider in-laws, and the matter of the two of you must have a result."

Qin Lanshang had a sour nose and said, "I know, it's ..."

"I gave him that card, but before that, Xue Xue had left a card for the scholar, which means he did n’t have to be the first to go up, but he still made the first place, and he persisted until now. Do you know why?"

Qin Lanshang raised his head and saw Ye Fusheng turned back to look at a figure outside the door. The corner of his mouth was slightly selected: "Gentlemen, no matter how they do things or talk reasoning, they have to have a beginning and an end, right?"

Chu Xiwei knew that Lu Mingyuan was coming. At this time, Ye Fusheng's voice had just dropped, and he opened the door with one sleeve. After the scholar entered, he closed it with his palm.

"Thank you Master Chu and Ye Xia." Lu Mingyuan bowed his fists and saluted. Then he crouched in front of Qin Lanshang and slapped her hair behind his ears. The smile was gentle like a spring breeze. right?"

Qin Lanshang looked up at him and nodded gently.

"You came to visit, and I did my best for this. I am very happy." Lu Mingyuan raised her right hand, and there was a medicine cloth on the tiger's mouth. It was a wound that broke last night.

The scholar who always dared not to overstep the rule put her hand on her face and kissed it gently across the medicine cloth. She said, "I will be the first person who wants to marry you, and I will marry you last. , Believe me, okay? "

Qin Lanshang has always been a quirky whisper of elves. At this time, he seemed to be insane, and suddenly he could not speak a word.

Lu Mingyuan re-bandaged the medicine cloth on her hand, then stood up with Chu Xi's knife-like eyes, and pleaded out with politeness.

On the third day of the martial arts competition, the breeze and drizzle, Miss Bai Guimen finally appeared on the small wooden building.

Qin Lanshang wore a fiery red skirt, complementing the long spear red tassel standing beside her, beautiful and fierce, and her eyes always fell on the scholar holding a white paper fan.

The rain in the sky was as fine as a feather. The scholar in a moon-white gown was bare-handed today. Instead of taking the white paper fan he used, he raised his head and smiled at Qin Lanshang, then reached out to catch some sporadic rain.

The two generations of Southern Confucianism are known for their Ben Lei palms and chaotic rain chess. Lu Mingyuan has followed Ruan Feiyu's hard work since his childhood. His accomplishments in Ben Lei's palms are not low. Only the chaotic rain chess is tricky and changeable. Perseverance is very stubborn about certain things, so it is impossible to deal with these changes.

Now that five years have passed, he has turned into a half-old river and lake from a young boy with a spirit of enthusiasm. He will soon become the next teacher of Samadhi College and lead his fellow disciples to teach the arts, even if the appearance is still a gentle and pedantic scholar, under the chest. A heart did not know how long it took a few eyes.

It was drizzling this day, and the people who watched the battle did not feel pain, just the soft and cool clothes wet with clothes.

It's a pity that Lu Mingyuan's opponent didn't think so.

The finger is like a bow, the force is like a string, and the raindrops coming out of the electric beam are like arrows from the string, and in a flash of rain forming a net, if ten thousand arrows are coming, the person will pull the robe in his hand and rotate like a shield, raindrops It didn't work when I hit the thick coat, but after hearing a few strange noises, the shirt seemed to be pierced by the storm steel needle!

This man was terrified, but after the raindrops penetrated his coat, he did not know if he had no stamina or Lu Mingyuan's men were merciless, and he didn't hurt at all. He was shocked, and the wind in front of him burst out, but Lu Mingyuan was approaching.

Too late to hesitate, he grabbed the ring-headed sword and traversed the top of his head, just to meet Lu Mingyuan's palm. The meat palm is connected to the surface of the knife, and there is no sound at all when the mud cow enters the sea, but there is a thunder-like internal force that explodes on the knife, and the tiger's mouth cracks, and half of the body is instantly paralyzed!

He was so shocked that he was about to escape, but unexpectedly there was a sudden pain like a needle piercing the place where he was hit by the rain, as if thousands of ice needles penetrated into the bone, regardless of blood or internal force Suddenly stagnate between the meridians!

On the wooden floor, Chu Xiwei's eyes shone brightly, and Ye Fusheng nodded and said with a smile: "The warplane is good."

Qin Lanshang was sitting beside them, and the victory and defeat on the stage was divided. A face was even more glorious. The hand holding the gun was loose and tight, and his eyes closely followed the landing Mingyuan.

"Concession."

When the palm is about to break the top of the brain, Lu Mingyuan gestured, his knees bent up against the man ’s waist, and he made a good effort to knock down the opponent who was no longer in the ring, and then took a breath and went down the stage. The other knights opened their palms.

There were a total of eight hours on that day. By the end of the wind and rain, and nightfall, Lu Mingyuan had no strength, and his body was wet and rained like a fish from the river. There was rain and sweat.

His breath was already in disorder, his fingers grabbed the ring railings to support his body, his eyes were blurred by sweat, and there were ghosts when he saw things, and after a few short and heavy gasps, he barely stood up again, his voice hoarse and smiled : "Also, which enlighten me?"

There was no answer from the audience, and Gao Xiang, who was upstairs in Xiaomu, burned out the ashes.

Chu Xiwei stood up, his voice was not loud, but it was steadily passed into the ears of all the people present: "This is the end of the hundred ghost gate competition, the winner is San Ming Academy Lu Mingyuan."

As soon as his words fell, Ye Fusheng already laughed loudly, and grabbed the gold skeined red hydrangea on the table as the winner's colorful head. His wrists were flipped and dropped, and the hydrangea fell on Lu Mingyuan's hands as if he had long eyes.

At the same time, Qin Lanshang flew into his arms.

Lu Mingyuan's brain was buzzing at that time, there was a loud noise in his ear, and fireworks rose in front of his eyes, but when he recovered, he had already gone on horseback, and Qin Lanshang was behind with a gun. A ride to the dust.

"Lan Chang, the ring ..."

"You have won, what do your mother-in-law do?" Qin Lanshang squeezed his horse's abdomen, looking at the scholar's embarrassment, ecstatic and distressed, his eyes were red for a while, "Student, I am afraid of you Being beaten to death on the ring! "

"Every warrior has a sense of balance, no." Although Lu Mingyuan was exhausted, he still had a joke about her. "However, if I really lost, what would you do?"

Qin Lanshang gritted his teeth and said: "Dare you! If you lose, I will beat the one who won, and then kill you!"

"Don't dare to dare, dare not." Lu Mingyuan pretended to be merciless, just felt the wind whistle in his ear, and his heart seemed to fly out as cheerfully, and asked with a smile, "Where are we going?"

"Go to Dongming Valley and see my grandfather!" Qin Lanshang proudly said, "Now you win, see what else does he say?"

But Lu Mingyuan was in front of him, exclaimed: "Stop, stop! Stop now!"

"What did you do?"

Lu Mingyuan murmured with a face on his face: "Others see relatives and friends, and there are still instruments for sweeping the door and sweeping the wind within ten miles; gentlemen want to see and do things, they must first post, to be clear, dress, and letter. I am now The misdescription and the lack of red gifts are extremely rude. How can I see you this way ... "

Qin Lanshang listened to his mother-in-law's mouth that had been unchanged for five years, and rolled his eyes skillfully into the sky, and then suddenly loosened the souvenir Ma Youzhen, turned to hug Lu Mingyuan's neck, leaned to the side and took a bite on his mouth, using his lips Language.

Lu Mingyuan's "Zhuzheye" and "Gentleman Lixin", which were full of brains, were frightened out of Jiuxiaoyun with the soul at this moment.
