in the world of murder

When Chen Song learned that Xi Zhen was looking for him, he couldn't hide his joy.He returned to the room, changed into a sapphire blue robe, and stood in front of the bronze mirror to straighten his clothes.The person who slept with him asked him, "Are you going to show courteousness to the younger brother again?"

"Go!" Chen Song scolded, cleaned up and went out.

When he was still some distance away from Xizhen's courtyard, Chen Song saw Xizhen.He was dressed in a red robe, standing outside the courtyard, stepping on the snow in boredom.

When Chen Song saw him, he laughed and shouted from a distance: "Little brother!"

Xi Zhen raised his head and looked at Chen Song. Chen Song straightened his clothes and walked over, "Little brother, what do you want from me?"

Xi Zhen gave Chen Song a purse, and Chen Song opened it, and inside was a pair of Hepu pearls the size of longan, bright and round, very precious.

Chen Song looked at Xi Zhen, and Xi Zhen said: "In the past, I have troubled my brother to take care of me, and I ask my brother not to refuse a small gift."

Chen Song's heart sank slowly, "Junior brother means..."

"I won't bother senior brother from now on," Xi Zhen said, "If senior brother wants to find me, just call at the gate of the courtyard."

Chen Song held the pair of bright pearls, as if a basin of cold water had been poured on them in the winter, and his fingers were numb.

"I see." Chen Song forced a smile, "I understand what Junior Brother means."

Xi Zhen nodded, turned around and went back to the yard.

There are several vines growing in the corner of the wall, and they also have green leaves in winter.Xie Li scooped up water and sprinkled it on the leaves with a relaxed posture.

Xi Zhen walked up the steps and was about to open the door to go in when he suddenly remembered something, stopped and looked at Xie Li.

"Are you satisfied now?"

Xie Li didn't speak, but still carefully watered the vines.

Xi Zhen snorted, opened the door and went into the house.

It's the flower competition day in January again, this is the last flower competition day of this year, Xi Zhen attaches great importance to it.Thinking back to the beginning of the year, he set up an ambition to defeat Xie Li and become the best disciple of Jiuyi Mountain.However, after a year, he only occasionally beat Xie Li in some subjects.Twelve flower competition days a year, Xie Li got twelve chiefs.

The first match of the competition day was swordsmanship, and Xi Zhen defeated Xie Li.Off the court, Fu Gui was amazed, followed Xi Zhen back, and said: "You can beat the senior brother!"

"He let me." Xi Zhen took off the wristband on his hand, took a sip from his teacup, and said: "During the lantern festival, he promised me to let me go."

Fu Gui suddenly realized, "So that's how it is."

"However, this time I have to win the first place no matter what." Xi Zhen's eyes were bright, and he pulled Fu Gui to give him advice, "I am not as good as him in riding and archery, and he is not as good as me in Go. There are two subjects of Confucian classics and history, I am not sure."

Fu Gui pondered for a moment, and said: "I heard that Mr. Xu from the history class is somewhat dissatisfied with the elder brother, do you know about this?"

Xi Zhen nodded, "Master Xu once reprimanded Xie Li in class."

"That's it," Fu Gui said, "You and Xie Li's grades in the history class have always been about the same. Master Xu is dissatisfied with Xie Li, so he will naturally lean towards you. As for Confucian classics, senior brother is the master of Confucian classics. In this door, you have no chance of winning."

Xi Zhen frowned tightly, at this time, the bell rang outside, and the next door began.

After eating at noon, I was in a hurry to start the afternoon exam again.After the history test, Xi Zhen hurriedly came to Fu Gui and said, "As I thought, I won swordsmanship and go, but he won riding and archery and mathematics. Just now Master Xu said that my historical theory is very important. I have grown up and given me the first place in the history class. Now there is only one Confucianism left, as long as I am still the first in Confucianism, the number one in the competition for flowers will be mine!"

Fu Gui said happily: "Okay! It's only one step away!"

Xi Zhen said anxiously: "Help me find a way!"

Fu Gui was also anxious, "Here, what can I do, even if I go to steal questions for you now, it's too late."

Xi Zhen showed anxiety, "I only have one chance to win Xie Li!"

Fu Guiwu thought for a while, then suddenly slapped his head, and said: "It's better to ask the senior brother to steal the question, you go to him, and let him give you this door."

Xi Zhen frowned, "Is this okay?"

"If you can't do it, you have to do it!" Fu Gui said with a serious expression, "Do you still want to be number one?"

Fu Gui pushes Xi Zhen out the door, while still chatting to him.Xie Li happened to pass by the front, wearing a white robe with narrow sleeves, and a jade hairpin tied his hair.

"Thank you!" Xi Zhen called him loudly.

Looking over together, there are many senior brothers.Fugui pushed Xizhen vigorously, "Disaster for the country, demon girl, disaster for the country, demon girl!"

"I got it, don't push me!" Xi Zhen gritted his teeth secretly, straightened his clothes, and raised his voice: "Brother, I have something to ask you."

He walked to Xie Li's side, and the footsteps of the brothers around him slowed down, and they secretly looked here from the corner of the eye.Chen Song also looked over, but turned his head after only looking at Xi Zhen.

In front of the crowd, Xi Zhen felt like he was on his back.He pulled Xie Li and hid in the snow cave behind the rockery.The entrance of the cave is entangled with climbing vines, but the inside is clean, without any insects and ants.The walls are painted with a mixture of pepper and spices, exuding a slight aroma.

Xie Li looked at Xi Zhenzhen's restless appearance, but his face remained calm, and asked, "What's the matter?"

"It's nothing, I want to talk to you." Xi Zhen said: "Master Xu of History has selected me as the number one. It is thanks to my brother who accompanied me to review the book some time ago."

Xie Li nodded, and Xi Zhen asked again: "Brother, are you sure about the last classic study?"

Xie Li didn't speak, and looked at him quietly with a pair of eyes.

Xi Zhen gritted his teeth, approached Xie Li, and said: "Senior Brother, I have already won three courses, and I only need this last one. Please do me a favor and give this one to me."

Xie Li raised his eyebrows, but still did not speak.Xi Zhen persuaded him, "You only won two courses, even if you are the first in the last one, we are very likely to draw, why don't you be a favor and give it to me?"

Xie Li said slowly, "If I say, no."

Xi Zhen immediately changed his face, "Okay, Xie Li, you are not satisfied with such a small request. Sure enough, what you said earlier was to coax me, you just want to tease me!"

Xie Li raised his eyebrows, stretched out his hand to rub Xizhen's cheek, and said, "That's right, I've learned how to beat him upside down."

Xi Zhen was so annoyed that he bit Xie Li's wrist hard, "Who told you to touch me! You are not allowed to touch me! You just want to touch me if you don't agree to anything!"

Xie Li laughed, his way of seducing people is really not very clever, so anxiously marked the price, cute and funny.

Xie Li asked him, "If I promise you, I can touch you?"

Xi Zhen's eyes widened all of a sudden, looking very angry, but after a while, his eyeballs rolled again, and said, "Where do you want to touch?"

Xie Li asked back, "Where do you want me to touch?"

Xi Zhen thought about it cautiously, stretched out his hands, and said, "A pair of hands?"

Seeing Xie Li's unkind expression, he hurriedly said, "Just add another pair of feet."

Xie Li looked at him, nodded slowly, "Okay, just a pair of hands and feet."

When the bell for the last door rang, Xie Li finally let go of Xi Zhen.Xi Zhen cried, his face was red, his cheeks were red, his eyes were red, and he straightened his clothes sobbingly.

Xie Li took out a handkerchief and wiped Xi Zhen's hands and feet.Xi Zhen didn't dare to move, and kept crying.He had never encountered such a thing, and he didn't know that just his hands and feet could play like this.

Xie Li had a look of love and pity, and reached out to touch Xi Zhen's face.Xi Zhen avoided him and cried, "You are not allowed to touch me."

Xie Li withdrew his hand, put on his belt with a calm expression, and watched Xi Zhen stand up.

He ran out of the snow cave, stopped suddenly, stood outside and scolded Xie Li, "Xie Li, you are a beast in clothes! Despicable! Shameless!"

Xie Li Shi Shiran pushed aside the vines and went out, but saw Xi Zhen running away.

Xi Zhen ran out, found a place to wash his face, and tidied up before going to take the last exam.Xie Li came late, and the Confucian master pretended to reprimand him a few words, and then asked him to sit down and answer the question.

The time for answering the questions flew by, Xizhen handed in the answer sheet, and stretched his sore shoulders.

He was just about to get up to leave when he suddenly heard a furious cry from the Confucian master.

"What are you writing here? It's deviant, I don't know!" The master took an answer sheet and threw it on Xie Li.

Xie Li stood there, neither humble nor overbearing said: "Master, forgive me, I don't know where the student is wrong?"

The Master asked sharply, "Confucianism is the great way of the country, but you say that 'respecting the ancients' is pedantic, and you say 'do not follow the ancients and do not follow the present'! You know that Legalism is no more than a low-level study, how can it be called the same as Confucianism!"

Xie Li didn't refute, but just said lightly, "Students don't think so."

The master got even more angry and said, "Your answer sheet is invalid!"

Xie Li took the answer sheet, packed his things, turned and left.

When he walked to Xizhen, Xizhen immediately avoided him, glanced at him, then looked at him again, turned and ran away.
