With a tap of her toes, the woman's body landed on the deck of the boat, as light as cotton wool, without making the slightest sound, just like a puff of smoke blowing across the deck.
However…
The moment the woman's toes landed on the deck, seven girls in green skirts also quickly gathered around. Each of them stood in a very special position.
The woman, on the other hand, was surrounded right in the center.
"Haha... I have long heard that Yun Qingwu is the most amazing woman in the world. Didn't you expect that this is how you welcome guests?" A chuckle came from the woman's mouth.
"Since you are a guest, please follow the guest's custom and state your name!" A girl in a green skirt asked instead of answering the woman's words.
"That's right, my name is Wu Yu'er." Wu Yu'er nodded.
"Wu Yu'er?!" The face of the girl in the green skirt changed slightly, and when she looked at Wu Yu'er, her body trembled slightly.
"It seems... you seem to know me?" Wu Yu'er laughed, her face seemed to be blown by a spring breeze, revealing a charming brilliance.
"I don't know." The girl in the green dress immediately shook her head.
"Oh, really?" Wu Yu'er ignored the girl in the green skirt and closed her eyes slightly, as if listening to the music coming from the boat: "It seems that Miss Yun has made an appointment with someone else today."
"How do you know?" The girl in the green dress was obviously surprised.
"It doesn't seem too difficult to know the meaning of the music by listening to the music, right?" Wu Yu'er moved her steps and began to admire the decoration on the boat.
The seven girls in green skirts looked nervous.
However, no one moved lightly, just letting Wu Yu'er walk back and forth on the deck.
"Can we go in?" Wu Yu'er continued to ask after two steps and came back.
"Since Miss Wu knows that my girl has an appointment today, why do you still want to go in?" At this moment, a girl in a green dress walked out of the painting cabin again.
Different from other girls in green skirts, this girl in green skirts has a golden hairpin on her head. It can't be found at all.
"Does this matter?" Wu Yu'er asked.
"It seems that Miss Wu is here well prepared today?" The girl in the green skirt continued to ask.
"It's not that I'm prepared, but I won't leave until I see someone." Wu Yuer took out a banknote from her arms as she spoke: "I heard that Miss Yun wants to accept gifts when she sees someone. ? I came today, but I can’t break the rules.”
With a flick of his fingers, the banknote turned into a stream of light and shot toward the girl in the green dress.
The expression of the girl in the green skirt changed slightly. As soon as she took her hands, she took a few steps back. A flash of flush flashed across her face. But he was quickly suppressed again.
"Thank you, but we girls don't want to accept this banknote." After the girl in the green dress finished speaking, she tore the banknote in her hand into pieces.
Broken paper scraps danced on the lakeside, entangled with the fallen red maple leaves, like a piece of falling snow dyed in bright red.
"The banknote has been given. Whether you accept it or not is up to you, Miss Yun." After Wu Yu'er finished speaking, he walked towards the girl in the green dress step by step.
When the other seven girls in green skirts saw it, their expressions changed.
"Uh-huh!"
Almost at the same time. Seven long swords were taken out, and seven cold lights flashed, adding a sense of coldness and chill to the autumn atmosphere.
Wu Yu'er stopped.
but. But he didn't look at the seven girls in green skirts, but turned his head slightly towards the center of the lake.
A faint mist floated over the center of the lake, and in the mist, a vague figure swayed in it. Not long after, a small boat slowly appeared.
No oars.
There was only one young man standing alone on the boat, dressed in white. He couldn't see his appearance clearly, but he could only vaguely see that his body seemed to be covered with flying maple leaves.
"Is it him?!" Wu Yu'er's expression finally changed at this moment. She looked at the painting cabin and did not move forward, but stood quietly on the spot.
At this moment, the sound of the piano in the painting cabin finally fell.
The door of the painting cabin opens from the inside.
Yun Qingwu, who was wearing a long white dress, slowly walked out of the boat. The gauze covering her face and her black hair were gently dancing in the lake breeze.
"It seems that someone is one step ahead of me." Wu Yu'er said to herself, which sounded a bit weird, because, if you look at it normally, she is naturally earlier than the person in the Lakeside Center.
"Yes, he was earlier than you." Yun Qingwu nodded slightly when she heard Wu Yu'er's words. Apparently she had no objection to Wu Yu'er's judgment...
…
The wind in Yanjing City felt a little cool on my face, which was a sign that autumn was getting stronger.
The date of the palace examination has been officially announced, and it is set in five days. It is the critical point between late autumn and cold winter. As soon as the news was released, the entire Yanjing city became lively.
This palace examination can be said to be the most spectacular in the past, because the strong men on the Shenglong List rushed to Yanjing City one by one to follow up.
Among them, Wu Feng, who ranks fourth on the Shenglong List, has attracted the most attention.
the reason is simple…
He is a closed disciple of one of the Four Saints.
But this is not the main reason. The main reason is that Wu Feng did something. After the announcement of the imperial examination was completed, a piece of news blew out like an autumn wind.
Qin Yan, who ranked third on the Shenglong List, was defeated.
The person who defeated him was Wu Feng.
The most shocking part of this news was not that Wu Feng defeated Qin Yan, because there was only one person between Wu Feng and Qin Yan on the rising dragon list.
This kind of alternation is not uncommon in the rankings of the Shenglong Ranking.
What shocked people was the timing chosen by Wu Feng.
There are only five days left before the palace examination.
"Isn't he afraid of getting hurt?"
This was everyone's first reaction after hearing the news, and the facts told everyone that Wu Feng was not injured, and he only used three moves.
Defeat Qin Yan in three moves.
Wu Feng became third on the rising dragon list.
It has also become the only position that can be achieved on the Shenglong Ranking, and the well-deserved first person under Chi Guyan and Nangong Hao.
Of course, this palace examination is also the weirdest one.
After Qin Yan was injured, he immediately announced his withdrawal from the palace examination.
The people who announced their withdrawal together with Qin Yan were Xiang Tianying, who was ranked seventh on the Shenglong List, and Tang Zhongming, who was eighth on the Shenglong List. When the news of the palace examination was announced, the two of them also expressed their withdrawal in a tacit understanding. Palace examination.
The withdrawal of these two people was naturally related to the horse racing hunt at the eastern suburbs hunting ground a few days ago.
only…
Everyone is surprised. Why did Xiang Tianying and Tang Zhongming choose to quit directly instead of looking for opportunities to regain their face during the palace examination
After all, unlike Qin Yan, their opponent was Fang Zhengyi.
Undercurrents are surging in Yanjing City.
It seems that some dust is being washed away in advance for this palace test, but the weight of this dust is really too heavy.
Autumn is full of beauty, but people's hearts are panicked.
However, there was one person who was not panicked at all, and that person was naturally Fang Zhengzheng.
these days. Fang Zhengzheng found a new pleasure, which was to take Pingyang to play a game of catching people in Yanjing City, and took Yan Xiu along with him.
As the overlord in Yanjing City.
Ping Yang's role in this game is absolutely crucial.
At least, when some people were hiding in the house and unwilling to come out, all she needed was a clear voice from her, and no matter where they were hiding in, they would be shocked to appear immediately.
some of…
This includes Wen Dabao, the son of the Minister of Justice of the Ministry of Justice.
"Mr. Wen, where are you going to eat today?" Fang Zhengzheng looked at Wen Dabao, who looked depressed in front of him. A smile as gentle as spring breeze appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Master Fang...can what I said count?" Wen Dabao grimaced.
"First of all, you have to say it, because only if you say it can I know whether what you say is true or not." Fang Zhengzheng encouraged.
"..." Wen Dabao had tears in his eyes: "Then Mr. Fang still has the final say, right?"
"Okay, then I'll have to do it. Where do you want to go?" Fang Zhengzheng looked at Pingyang, who was wearing a red cloak next to him.
"First go to Tingxiang Pavilion for a cup of tea, and then go to Cuiyu Pavilion for a walk." Pingyang blinked his clear eyes, as if he had already thought about it.
"It's a good idea, I think it works. What do you think?" Fang Zhengzheng nodded in approval, and then turned his attention to Yan Xiu, who had been silent beside him.
"Yeah." Yan Xiu nodded lightly, noncommittal.
"Your Highness the Princess, Mr. Yan, Mr. Fang, this, this is really not allowed, I... I..." Wen Dabao was almost crying.
In two days, the small treasury he had won through horse racing and hunting was almost completely empty. By the way, he had almost spent all his previous private treasure.
"It's okay, it's okay, I'm treating you this time." Fang Zhengzheng said with a generous look.
"..." Wen Dabao's tears finally fell. He had been fooled by this kind of treat.
Two days ago, Fang Zhengzheng and Yan Xiu took the initiative to visit.
At that time, Wen Dabao immediately became excited and immediately expressed his feelings, saying that he must treat Fang Zhengyi and Yan Xiu to a good meal.
However, Fang Zhengzheng shook his head at that time.
"My treat!"
In one sentence, Wen Dabao almost knelt down. Good man, this is the real good man. It is worth it to be able to follow Mr. Fang in this life.
However, Wen Dabao soon understood what Fang Zhengzheng's treat meant.
Too much to say…
Those are all tears.
It turns out that the so-called treat means that Fang Zhengzheng and Yan Xiu order food, and Wen Dabao pays the bill.
Next, Wen Dabao learned his lesson and immediately secluded himself in the mansion and thanked guests behind closed doors. However, this could not stop Pingyang, who was known as the hegemon in Yanjing City.
Therefore, the tragic Wen Dabao found that after he hid once, there seemed to be one more person coming to eat than the two before.
"Dabao!" At this moment, a middle-aged man walked out of the house.
"Dad? Why are you out here?" Wen Dabao was slightly startled when he saw the person coming.
"Nothing's wrong. I just found out that my memory is not very good recently. I lost some money in the courtyard a few days ago and I can't find it no matter how hard I look for it. Alas... so I went outside to have a look." The middle-aged man sighed slightly.
"There was money dropped in the courtyard?!" Wen Dabao's eyes lit up and he muttered to himself, there was money dropped in the courtyard, why did he go outside the house to look for it? Isn't this stupid
However, he obviously would not say this.
because…
That would just result in a fat beating.
"Well, I'll go look for it on the street again, and I'll leave first." After saying that, the middle-aged man went out directly.
Wen Dabao looked at the middle-aged man's leaving figure, his eyes brightening even more. Is there any money in the yard? Hahaha...there is money!
…
Three days passed quickly.
There are only two days left before the palace examination, and all the talented people have begun to close their homes to thank guests and concentrate on making final preparations for the palace examination.
And at this time.
But a piece of news spread directly to Yanjing City.
The news is very simple. In summary, there is only one sentence, which is "Nangong Hao announced his participation in this palace examination!"
"Nangong Hao is going to take part in the palace examination?!"
"Is this news true?"
"Of course it's true. This is the news that Yushuyuan personally admitted."
"If Nangong Hao participates in this palace examination, will Fang Zhengyi still have a chance to get the top spot?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? Don't mention Nangong Hao's participation. Even if Nangong Hao doesn't participate, it won't be Fang Zhengzheng's turn, right? And Wu Feng, he defeated Qin Yan with only three moves! Compared to Fang Zhengzheng in During the horse racing hunt, the battle with Tianying and Tang Zhongming using a sun-shooting bow to sneak attack was completely different."
"That's right, I'm really looking forward to the imperial examination in two days!"
Voices kept talking in Yanjing City.
At the same time, several fast horses quickly passed through the gate of Yanjing City and ran towards the palace, as fast as thunder.
"It's the Dragon Guard!"
"I wonder what the big news is?"
"For the Dragon Guard to rush back to Yanjing City in such a hurry, I'm afraid this matter is absolutely extraordinary."
On the streets of Yanjing City, pedestrians were speculating as they watched the dragon guards rushing past.
Fang Zhengyi, who was coming out of the restaurant with Yan Xiu and Ping Yang, happened to see this group of dragon guards, but he was not surprised at all.
because…
He didn't know him at all.
However, Pingyang's eyes lit up in an instant.
"Hey, look, it's the dragon guard. I wonder what happened in such a hurry?" Pingyang shouted excitedly, seeming to have strong expectations.
"Dragon Guards?" Yan Xiu also paid attention to the several Dragon Guards who were speeding past, and there seemed to be a slight change in their expressions.
However, this change was only fleeting.
immediately…
Yan Xiu also raised his head slightly, looking at the blue sky and Bai Qu floating in the sky, seeming to be thinking about something.
"Hey, where are we going next?" At this moment, Wen Dabao also ran out of the restaurant and seemed to have paid the bill.
However, compared with before, Wen Dabao did not feel any distress this time. Instead, he had a look of joy on his face, as if he was happy to pay the bill.
"Fang Zhengzheng, do you want to go to the palace to have fun?" Pingyang glanced at Wen Dabao with disdain, and then turned his eyes to Fang Zhengzheng, with a faint smile on his lips. (To be continued.)uw
