Chapter 266.

With more and more poems copied, Xu Qi’an gradually figured out the tricks of the readers of the “Sacred”, what others ask what you answer, this is the guapi only do things.

It must be appetizing and appetizing.

As it was, from Number Four to the drinkers, from the drinkers to the flower girl, from the flower girl to the handmaidens serving at the table, they were all watching him, waiting to see what would happen.

In full view of everyone, Xu Qi’an got up and paced the hall, and after seven steps, he paused and leisurely said, “Ten years to sharpen a sword.”

Chu Yuanjian was stunned, he had just said that he was recuperating his sword, Xu Qi’an immediately made this line, there was no escape, this poem was made for him.

The Fourth was instantly somewhat moved, he had never met this Xu Qi’an before, and after a few words over wine, he was willing to compose a poem for him, treating people with such friendliness and enthusiasm was really humbling.

Number Three is a chivalrous, scholarly man, with a few profit-seeking peccadilloes, but on the whole a man worth befriending. His cousin is even more curmudgeonly than he is, no less.

At the same time, Chu Yuanjian thought of the example of Ziyang Jushi, his heart was slightly on fire, he was also a scholar and loved poetry, when he encountered this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, there was no reason not to look forward to it.

Xu Qi’an looked around the crowd and recited the second line, “The frosty blade has not been tried.”

Ten years to sharpen a sword, the frosty edge has not been tested …….. The officials present chewed on the poem with smiles and glowing eyes.

This couplet is a neat couplet, and is not as good as several of Xu Qi’an’s previous poems in terms of either rhyme or mood, but there is more to poetry than rhyme and mood.

Ten years to sharpen a sword, the frosty edge has not been tested!

In a short sentence, the ambition leaps off the page. Ten years to sharpen a sword, this pretentious intention, only he such a youthful character can write.

Chu Yuanjian’s eyes were bright, unconsciously straightened his back, his body half-volted down on the case, the whole person made a forward leaning posture, looking forward to the next couplet.

It’s so apt. It’s so apt.

He had traveled extensively over the years, opening his eyes and cultivating his sword qi, and this superb magic weapon of the Human Sect had always been hidden in its scabbard and had never been displayed.

It would eventually have its day to be unsheathed, only that Chu Yuanjian himself had not thought about what kind of situation would be in the future that would make him pull out this sword.

It was not until recently that the head of the Human Sect Dao flew a sword and summoned him back to meet Li Miaozhen, a disciple of the Heavenly Sect, that Chu Yuanjian suddenly understood that he had waited for this time.

Just how much regret in his heart, this sword out of the sheath, must be shocking, used to chop Li Miaozhen, not what he wanted.

“What will be the next link? Ten years of sharpening a sword, under what circumstances will it be sheathed?”

Chu Yuanjian muttered in his heart, full of eagerness to “learn” from this.

At this point, Xu Qi’an shook his head and sighed, “I haven’t thought of the next couplet yet.”

“!!!”

“This, how can this be gone? It can’t be gone, how can a poem have only the top line.”

“Lord Xu, don’t be capricious, we’re still waiting.”

“What’s the next line, think again, think again …….”

Inside the hall, the crowd was wide-eyed, unable to accept this fact.

Xu Qi’an spread his hands, holding the wine cup back to the table, helplessly said, “Indeed I have not thought about it, let’s put it this way, I’ll do half a song first, and the other half will be made up for Brother Chu later, how about it?”

“…… It can only be this way.” Chu Yuanzhan said in disappointment.

The crowd grudgingly accepted the result.

The row of wine order continues, elegant order although elegant, but the atmosphere is slightly lukewarm, floating incense proposed row of boxing, get the crowd unanimously agreed.

The flower girls accompanied the drinkers and had a good time paddling.

“Why don’t we play pitcher.”

Chu Scholar, who was not accompanied by a beauty, proposed.

This banquet is exclusively for him to receive the dust, he is the main character of the banquet, and he has the final say.

There are rules for pitching pots, which are simple: a pot is set up in the hall, the drinkers each have three arrows, and those who miss are penalized with a drink, and those who hit can order any one in the field to drink.

After a few rounds, this group of not-so-low-status officials got slightly drunk and gradually turned from game participants to bystanders, and then from bystanders to the cheering and cheering crowd.

The only people on the field were Xu Qi’an and Chu Yuanjian throwing pots, and each one was sure to hit, as if they were gambling, neither one refusing to admit defeat.

The flower queens waved flags and shouted from the sidelines, and when either Xu Qi’an or Chu Yuanjian hit the ball, they applauded loudly, their faces flushed with excitement.

It’s very rare to see such a great pitching duel.

At first, the flower leaders were able to treat them fairly and not take sides, and slowly, the twelve flower leaders split into two camps, with one side supporting Chu Yuanjian and the other side being Xu Qi’an’s fans ……. All of them are women that Xu Qi An has slept with, Floating Fragrance, Ming Yan, Xiao Ya, etc.

“You can’t tell the winner from the loser playing like this, I propose to be blindfolded.” Xu Qi’an said.

Chu Yuanjian pondered for a moment and shook his head, “Even blindfolded, every shot is sure to hit, my suggestion is that each person has twenty arrows, and whoever finishes throwing first will be considered the winner.”

Will play!

The eyes of the drinkers and flower girls lit up with approval.

Floating Fragrance ordered the maidservant to fetch a silk scarf to cover the eyes of the two men, and Xu Qi’an realized that the silk scarf was hazy and translucent, and he could vaguely see the outline of the barnacles.

He silently turned his back to the field.

Chu Yuanzhan froze, smiled, shook his head, and turned his back as well.

The atmosphere in the arena became more active, not only masked, but also turned around, a play they had never seen before.

“How does this play.” Ming Yan chirped, “Who can throw it!”

The other flower girl giggled, “Whoever wins between the two lords, Ming Yan will serve whoever he wants tonight.”

Ming Yan let out a red-faced ‘bah’ and secretly looked at Xu Qi’an.

许七安习惯性口嗨，蒙着眼大笑道：“不成不成，头筹也太少了，我要你们全部。”

The flower lords were not at all intimidated and responded with a smile, “Lord Xu is afraid that tomorrow he will have to hold up the wall to go to the Yamen to answer the dawn call.”

Laughter “boomed” and warbled.

“The Third politely declined my offer, looking like a decent man who never goes to the Church Office, and he, the elder brother, is the opposite.”

Chu Yuanjian sighed in his heart, this Xu Qi’an is really a flirt, like a fish in water in the Department of Education, more than any reader can let go.

For the current scholars, the Church and the green house is more of a place for socializing, drinking and socializing with colleagues and fellow students, the restaurant is a place for commoners, and the first choice of those who really have the status is the Church and the House.

There is a flower girl with outstanding talent to act as an order officer, and a clean and well-behaved maidservant to pour the wine and wait for her, this is the row.

However, the scholars were concerned about their face and would not be too unrestrained, this Xu Qi’an was different.

“To die under the peony flower and be a ghost is also a good thing!” Xu Qi’an wrapped his arms around Floating Fragrance’s small waist.

The sudden golden lines made the people present secretly marvel at how this person’s talent was so terrible, good lines and good poems chapter mouth lei.

If this man reads, he will become a great scholar of his generation.

Xu Pingzhi is not a proper son.

“Dang!”

An arrow plunged accurately into a barnacle, interrupting the crowd’s scattered thoughts and returning their attention.

Xu Qi’an, who had finished casting one, laughed, “Brother Chu, it’s starting.”

“Good!” Chu Yuanzhan responded indifferently.

As he spoke, he casually threw an arrow backward, hitting with precision.

“Wow …….”

Ming Yan exclaimed, his eyes wide.

Knock Knock ……..

Xu Qi’an and Chu Yuanjian had one arrow each, and each throw was sure to hit, and every time they hit one, the flower girls exclaimed in shock, feeling wide-eyed.

Pitching pots is just a small game, but it’s played out by the two of them.

One after another, by the time Xu Qi’an finished his tenth throw, Chu Yuanjian had already thirteen throws, leaving only seven in his hand.

When Xu Qi’an had five left in his hand, Chu Yuanjian only had two left in his hand.

It seems that the winners and losers are already divided.

Floating Fragrance and Ming Yan, the few flower queens who had supported Xu Qi’an, looked gloomy, unable to hide their disappointment.

And the flower queens who supported Chu Yuanzhuan applauded in advance, offering applause to the scholar laureate of the twenty-seventh year of Yuanjing.

The officials on the sidelines around them seemed to have expected this result, and their smiles were instead the faintest.

Chu Yuan Zhen is a legendary figure, when he was a student, he has been in the same classmates, outstanding talent and appearance, and then abandoned the text of cultivation, who do not look at him, a close friend of the gas and he cut off the robe.

But who would have thought that, in just a few years, it has soared to the sky, challenging the golden gong Zhang Kaitai, although defeated, was Wei Yuan known as the first swordsman in the capital.

Such a supreme genius, in their opinion, was naturally much more colorful than a Xu Qi’an who could investigate cases.

At this time, Chu Yuanzhan had already thrown his penultimate arrow, which accurately entered the pot.

Floating Fragrance pursed her lips, retracted her gaze from the barnacle, glanced at Xu Qi An, and was shocked to find that the corners of this man’s mouth were gently raised …….. This expression was familiar to her, every time Xu Qi’an had a spring in his step, he would slightly pick up the corners of his mouth.

He’s sure?

The thought had just arisen when Fu Xiang saw a scene that could be described as absurd, Xu Qi’an threw the five arrows in his hand at the same time, and they traced a neat arc in the air, perfectly into the pot.

Five arrows with only one sound: thud!

The hall was instantly plunged into silence, and a pair of eyes stared round.

That’s okay?

“Ya ……” Ming Yan cheered, excitedly pouncing into Xu Qi An’s arms, “Lord Xu, slave loves you.”

Fuuka frowned repeatedly.

“Divine.” A royal historian exclaimed.

“So pot throwing can be played like this, an eye-opener.” Another official laughed in agreement.

The gazes of the flower queens looking at Xu Qi’an were suddenly filled with admiration.

Chu Yuanjian took off his silk scarf and smiled, “Awesome awesome.”

The tea party lasted until the beginning of Ohio (9:00 p.m.), when the flower girls yawned and got up to say goodbye, their skirts fluttering and their bodies light.

Despite being a little sleepy, the beauties couldn’t get enough of it, finding a banquet with Xu Qi’an, the capital’s number one swordsman, too interesting, but unfortunately, it was impossible to come across such a high-quality guest every day.

Ming Yan secretly writes on Xu Qi’an’s palm to seduce him to his own Green Pond Courtyard, but is nonchalantly jabbed by Fu Xiang and then driven away.

Chu Yuanjian didn’t stay at the Education Department at night and excused himself. Xu Qi’an personally escorted him out of the hospital.

Number 4 is so bland and spontaneous and has the bones of a bookworm …….. I can t find a chance to make him die socially at all …….. Xu Qi’an looked at the green-shirted swordsman’s back and felt regret in his heart.

But readers have readers’ weaknesses, like poetry.

The next couplet he hid for now, waiting for the right moment to bring it out.

Leaving the maidservant to clean up the mess, Floating Fragrance took Xu Qi’an’s arm and entered the bedroom, Xu Qi’an sat down at the table to drink tea, and with a flick of his ear, he heard Zhong Li’s voice transmission.

He craned his head to look at the screen, where her shapely shadow was reflected in the candlelight, cast on the screen, and was removing her dress, one by one, and replacing it with a light gauze garment.

While bathing, Xu Qi’an suddenly said:

“Ransom you in a few days.”

Floating Fragrance froze for a moment, her soulful eyes flashed with complexity, quickly settling down as she laughed softly, “Xu Lang has just become a Viscount, and having a concubine now would not be good for your reputation.”

“It’s also possible.” Xu Qi’an wrapped his arms around the slippery little waist and smiled.

After the shower, he and Fu Xiang rolled on the bed, entwined in the moment, suddenly heard a “click”, followed by a sense of weightlessness.

The bed collapsed.

Floating Fragrance exclaimed in shock as she wrapped herself around Xu Qi’an, her long white python-like legs hooked dead center around his waist.

……. Zhong Li, I’m going to ask Supervisor Zheng for a refund!

Xu Qi’an was furious.

………..

After leaving the Shadow Plum Pavilion, Chu Yuanjian waved his sword finger, and the longsword on his back was as if it had come to life, breaking away from its bonds like a swimming fish and stopping in front of him.

Chu Yuanzhuan stepped on the scabbard and said softly, “Go.”

The long sword gave a slight lurch and abruptly pierced through the night sky, rocking upwards.

The moment he flew into the night sky, Chu Yuanjian felt countless gazes in the capital lock onto him and then move away. One of the gazes that sent chills down his spine the most came from the towering Stargazer Tower.

He quickly left the inner city and flew towards the south of the outer city.

If he remembered correctly, No. 6 Hengyuan was in the Sanatorium, and he lowered his altitude and searched for a long time before finally finding the Sanatorium in the South City.

Chu Yuanjian was not a native of the capital, and had always lived in the inner city after studying at the State Scholarship Academy and earning his bachelor’s degree. He had never been to the outer city where the poor gathered.

Pressing down the head of his sword, he landed lightly in the courtyard of the Yangsheng Hall, and as he leapt off the scabbard, he heard the sound of chanting Buddha’s name coming from under the eaves of the house:

“Amitabha.”

Chu Yuanjian gripped the hilt of his sword and inserted the sword back into the sword bag behind him, looking at the sound, in the darkness under the eaves, there stood a monk wearing green plain natty clothes, with a stout figure, thick eyebrows, and a hard face.

“Master Hengyuan?” Chu Yuanzhan greeted with a smile.

“Precisely, poor monk, the monk is number four?” Hengyuan folded his hands and quietly scrutinized him.

The two who met for the first time did not act calmly, neither close nor rusty, Hengyuan led Chu Yuanjian into the house, lit the oil lamp, and carried out a jar of wine from under the bed, turned out two porcelain bowls, and simply wiped off the dust with his sleeve.

Chu Yuanjian never said no to wine and dried up when it arrived, but was just a little curious: “Buddhist disciples can drink wine?”

Hengyuan replied stoically, “Martial monks are meat and vegetables.”

There is also a subtext in this statement: martial monks need not keep the precepts.

“I saw number three today.”

Chu Yuanjian somewhat regretted not bringing peanuts, and with wine and no food, he always felt that something was missing.

Everest nodded.

“Number three pretended not to recognize me ……. With his intelligence, I’m sure he recognized me then and there, and I don’t know why he pretended not to.”

Chu Yuanjian shook his head helplessly and said, “Eighth Grade Body Cultivation Realm, the cultivation is a bit shallow.”

However, he knew the secret of the Third, the Third was related to the Sub-Sacred Temple’s Qing Qi Rush, and one could not simply look at the surface when dealing with the Third.

Master Hengyuan took a sip of wine and mused, “Compared to number three, poor monks are more in tune with Lord Xu, you may not know that he did not die in Yunzhou ……..”

When Number Six finished explaining about Xu Qi’an coming back from the dead, Chu Yuanjian nodded, ”Although the Deliverance Pill is good, it’s too restrictive, and he was able to survive by his own luck.

“I’ve just met Xu Qi’an in the Department of Education, and I have a good opinion of him, I think I’ve heard you guys discuss him too many times in the Earth Book Shards to have any rusty feelings about him.”

After a pause, Number Four laughed, “I haven’t gotten along with Number Three, but Xu Qi’an is indeed very much to my liking.”

After drinking the cloudy wine from the altar, Chu Yuanjian offered to go and see that child, and after doing so, he looked rather depressed.

“Although I don’t like the Buddhist sect, they have a saying that is correct, the world is like a sea of bitterness, and all beings struggle in the sea of bitterness.” Chu Yuanzhan said with emotion.

Master Everest gave him a look.

Chu Yuanjian hurriedly said, “No offense.”

Only then did Hengyuan withdraw his gaze.

“Three days later is the second session of the meeting examination, let’s pair up and go see Number Three.” Hengyuan said, “Number Three isn’t willing to disclose his identity with us, he said that if we meet, we can just meet and smile.”

“That’s so.” Chu Yuanzhuan came to a sudden realization.

………

Three days passed in a flash of time.

At dawn, Xu Erlang, accompanied by his family, arrived at the Tribute Academy.

“The Confucian Ninth Grade has the ability to forget everything, this test is about the scriptures, Erlang must be under no pressure.” Xu Qi’an patted his shoulder and encouraged.

Uncle Xu and Auntie revealed smiles.

According to Jiro himself, he played well in the first day’s catechism, which he was already good at, and had little problem with the second sutra.

In the eyes of his second uncle and aunt, Erlang’s success in becoming a scholar was already assured.

Xu New Year slightly raised his chin and said arrogantly, “There are many talented students in the world, so we must not be negligent and careless, and there may be those who are stronger than me.”

There may also …… be Xu Qi An Xin said that pretending to be a bully or you are more powerful.

Taking leave of his family, he walked towards the entrance of the Tribute Academy, intending to line up to enter, just then a loud voice came to his ears, “Amitabha Buddha.”

Xu New Year looked sideways and saw two people standing on the street, a stout monk and a green-shirted swordsman carrying a sword.

Upon seeing him look, both the monk and the swordsman gave taboo smiles.

……. Xu New Year’s face froze, his head lowered, and his pace hurriedly returned to his father and big brother, his heart suddenly feeling a bit safer.

“Father, big brother, I suspect that someone wants to plot against me.” Xu New Year said in a deep voice.

When Xu Pingzhi heard this, his eyebrows immediately raised and his gaze was like electricity, “Who?”

He was an Imperial Sword Guard patrolling the city, and knew that there had been a recent influx of large numbers of Jianghu warriors into the capital, which was extremely destabilizing for law and order.

The most obvious is that there are more people on the beam, those jianghu lower nine in the capital spent all the silver, and there is no money earning camp, the first choice is to steal and robbery.

“A monk and a swordsman.” Xu New Year turned around and pointed somewhere in the back.

Xu Qi’an looked for a moment and said, “Where is anyone?”

“???”

Xu New Year revealed a look of horror, “It was just there.”

“Alright, still saying you’re not stressed, I see you’re hallucinating.” Xu Qi’an patted his little old brother’s shoulder and said:

“O Erlang, those you don’t know and who act strangely, you must not take up with them.”

As he said that, his hand went to support Xu New Year’s back.

Erlang Xu looked behind himself, puzzled, “What does big brother mean by this.”

“It’s okay, help you carry the pot.”

……….

PS: At the end of today’s cleaning, soaked to the skin, a burst of dizziness, almost fainted, and rushed to turn on the air conditioning to save my life …….. My life is really the air conditioning to give. It’s so damn hot.
