The early morning light passed through a courtyard behind Taixue, and Su Wushang brought in breakfast from outside. Wuyi was wearing a thin shirt and washed his hands in front of the window. His hair was loose, his eyes were picturesque, and his slender His brows and eyes looked extraordinarily soft in the morning light, Chu Wushang put down his breakfast, and walked in so naturally to make the bed.

"From the day the young master of the censor entered the Imperial Academy, I saw that he had no great ability. I didn't expect that he would be of some use to us." Wuyi washed his hands and sat down at the table. It’s already crazy to act as an official in an aboveboard manner.”

"What did the people sent by Prime Minister You find out?" Chu Wushang made the bed and went to wash his hands, then poured water outside.

"The lady of the censor is crying and shouting. I heard that the censor has sent someone to contact the killer. After today's selection, whoever blocks his son's way, he will definitely get rid of him."

Chu Wushang sneered, "Looking for death."

"I heard that Fengxiu Fuying is also on the list. I think if Fuying is interested in this Zhonglang general, Fengxiu will definitely let him win. You go and arrange it. If Fuying really wins, don't let him win." Following the way of the censor."

"His ability should be fine." Shu Wushang shrugged, and stretched out his hand to fill Wuyi with a bowl of porridge, "But if he wins, I will send someone to follow, just in case something happens."

Wuyi nodded, "The school is on vacation today, I have nothing to do, so I'll just go and watch their farce with you. The poor emperor's decree is to promote talents. These aristocratic families rely on some meritorious deeds to bully others. I’m afraid it will also be chilling.”

Chu Wushang glanced at Wuyi, "Prime Minister You wants to make the people of the world feel cold towards the court?" He said this with a hint of sarcasm.

The unclothed and eating porridge paused, and just about to speak, a small head with a white hat poked in from outside, "Sa'er? The school is on holiday today, what are you doing here?"

Mu Wushang looked up, this kid was called Sashou Merci, his father seemed to be a Beijing official, and he didn't have any important position, he saw this brat a few times and felt that this brat was very clingy and very annoying.

"Shi Yin..." Sashou Mercy was a little surprised to see Chu Wushang appearing here. He remembered that Chu Wushang came here last night after class was over, and he didn't see anyone go out after closing the door. Isn't that... That means... Chu Wushang spent the night here?Wait, why can he spend the night here!And why would Shi Yin keep him overnight?Thinking of this, he was a little unhappy, but he still rolled his eyes and took out the book in his hand, "There is something that Sa'er can't understand, please ask Teacher Yin."

Chu Wushang put down his breakfast and stood up with a clatter, "You can ask in class tomorrow, your teacher Yin has something to do today." He stretched out his hand to tidy up the bowls and chopsticks, and raised his hand to take off the shirtless coat from the hanger. robe.

"Shi Yin hasn't spoken yet, why are you talking about me!" Sashou Merci raised his head and stared at Chu Wushang unhappily.

"Sa'er, gentlemen keep the etiquette." Wuyi let Chu Wushang put on the outer robe for him, tied the belt and said lightly, "I do have something to do today, so you can go."

"Oh... obey." Sashou Mercy fell silent for an instant.

Wu Wushang and Wu Yi came out together, their faces still darkened, Wu Yi glanced at him and chuckled, "What do you care about with such a young child?"

"Let's go." Chu Wushang said.

……

The final selection of General Zhonglang relies on a round-the-wheel battle. Two people draw lots to face off first, and the final winner will fight the next person, and so on, the final winner can get the position.

"If you are the first to play, don't you have to win ten games in a row to be successful?" In order to show the determination of the imperial court to recruit talents, the arena of this competition was set up on the largest long street in the capital, and the common people can watch it at will, so In a blink of an eye, there was a huge crowd of people around, and there was no need for Wushang and Wuyi to squeeze in here. The two reserved a private room in a nearby teahouse, and the location was just right enough to see the situation on the ring.

Fuying looked at the lottery in her hand, and then at the one in Fengxiu's hand, "You are the fourth and I am the sixth, tsk, maybe you may not be able to last until I take the stage before being defeated by others gone."

"Don't worry, it's just a two-game losing streak." Feng Xiu smiled, "The fight will be over in a while, let's go to the South Lake Painting Boat to listen to the song. I heard that there is a new girl there, and she sings very well."

"Okay, why don't you fight, let's go directly." Fuying shrugged.

"It's already here, let's go through the motions anyway, if you don't want this position, you can practice swords with me." Fengxiu smiled, "When you win me, you will deliberately lose to the next one."

Fuying avoided Fengxiu's gaze, he pretended to be indifferent and relaxed, but he secretly felt that this position must be won today, at least he could stand side by side with Fengxiu in the future.Fengxiu is completely ignorant of the thoughts of the people around her, and only thinks that Fu Ying is really here to play.

The first person to come on stage was a big man, Fu Ying looked up from below, "Is this man nine feet tall?"

"This kind of person probably has a lot of strength." Fengxiu nodded beside him, "If you are not enough for this kind of competition, if you are not flexible enough, you will still lose." With the advantage of height and strength, the first person on stage was thrown down, and the spectators slammed out of the way to see that person fell to the ground in a mess.

"It's so fast, this is number three." Fu Ying smacked her lips, "Fengxiu, can you please let someone throw you down like this for a while, you are a dignified Lord Tai Le Cheng, it would be embarrassing."

"It's okay, they know me mostly because I'm Tai Changqing's son, embarrassment is also embarrassment to my father." Fengxiu smiled and said nonchalantly.

The second match also ended quickly, and the winner was still the big guy. Fengxiu got up and got on the stage, "Hey, that big guy, come on!" To cheer him up, Fengxiu glared at him from a distance, and Fuying lay beside her smilingly watching Fengxiu clasped her fists, and the long sword from her waist came out along the way.

This man's sword moves are not flashy, and his moves have a literati charm, but the sharp and merciless appearance of his sword is indeed good-looking.Some women below looked at Fengxiu on the stage, and some people started to scream.Fu Ying rolled her eyes when she heard the voice, she didn't need to look at it that way if she was pretty.

Wuyi took a sip of tea in the restaurant, and asked Chu Wushang with a smile, "Can you tell who can win?"

"That man is not Fengxiu's opponent." Chu Wushang didn't even bother to look, "If he is serious, Fengxiu can win in one move."

"Although I don't understand it, it should not be a single move for such a long time." He watched Feng Xiu's long sword swing calmly, and it was really not very difficult to dodge and move to attack the enemy skillfully.

"It's almost thirty tricks, he's playing with style." Chu Wushang looked contemptuous, and the lady below screamed again and again, and her voice was harsh.

After about fifty moves, Fengxiu finally decided to make a move. The opponent was already so angry that he wished he could just come up and dismantle Fengxiu and throw him off the ring. Xiu easily flashed away.Spotting an opening, Fengxiu dodged the opponent's punch with a short body, and the long sword hit back directly on the opponent's arm. The big man saw that his sword was very special, hard but soft, and the blade was curled when it hit the arm In his hands, he was taken aback for a moment, but Fengxiu turned behind him and kicked his ass.

"Boom!" There was a loud noise, and smoke and dust rose from under the ring, and the man fell down.

"Hey—is it okay to face on the ground?" Fu Ying looked at her head and shook her head. After the scene was chaotic, No. [-] came to the stage. This time, she was a normal person after all, holding a knife and fighting Feng Xiu. It's a pity that they are not opponents either.

"Number six." The chief of the army shouted holding a sign.

Fuying smiled and stood in front of Fengxiu with her long knife in her hand, "Young Master, be merciful."

Feng Xiu also laughed, and after the two hugged their fists in accordance with the etiquette, the smile on Fuying's face disappeared.The knife in his hand straightened, and he raised his hand to strike straight. The weight of the Mo knife is very difficult to control, but compared with the long sword in Fengxiu's hand, it can be regarded as a heavy weapon. Fengxiu didn't dare to catch it directly with the sword. Taking Fu Ying's chest, Fu Ying leaned back, took advantage of the momentum and turned around with the saber and kicked, Feng Xiu stretched out her hand to block, and jumped back herself.

"It's finally worth seeing." Chu Wushang put down his teacup and nodded, "How did those few get into the final selection just now?"

"Fengxiu has been taught by a famous teacher since he was a child, and he has long been incomparable with his peers. It's not the fault of others." Wuyi smiled, "It's a pity that I don't know martial arts."

Chu Wushang frowned and watched Fuying Fengxiu's battle for a while, then suddenly frowned, "It's not right."

On the arena over there, Fengxiu and Fuying had exchanged hundreds of moves and still couldn't tell the winner, Fuying was a little anxious, and her hands were faster, she put the saber behind her back, and raised her hand to punch Attacking Fengxiu's face, Fengxiu turned her head to dodge, raised her hand to catch Fuying's wrist, suddenly a smile appeared in her eyes, she pulled Fuying's hand to the front of her body, and touched his hand.

Fuying was taken aback, thinking that Fengxiu was careless, she withdrew her hand and turned around with a saber, Fengxiu's long sword was wrapped around the saber, and with a wrong step, she passed by Fuying, when Fengxiu approached Fuying's ear, Fengxiu teased softly, "You look really good-looking this way."

"You..." Fu Ying frowned, she really didn't like Feng Xiu's teasing.He retreated, turned around, kicked Fengxiu's chest, Fengxiu blocked his leg, and touched up with his hand, Fuying was so startled that she turned back and opened the distance between the two of them, feeling a little angry in her heart .

He took the knife and fell, then heard Feng Xiu laugh, "Why don't we just stop here and fight again at night?"

"Don't... bully people too much!" Hearing this, Fu Ying felt angry from her heart, and the memory of the night before flashed in her mind. Those kisses and physical pleasure were nothing compared to the humiliation at the last moment. How could the appearance of crying and begging for mercy make him deeply terrified, and now he is making fun of the words of Fengxiu's eldest brother's male pet, is it going to be like this in this life?Fengxiu, you keep vowing to promise me a lifetime, do you know that I am worried, what do you want?

He lost his sense of control when he thought about it like this, he stepped up his upper body and slashed down fiercely with the saber, the sudden increase in speed caught Fengxiu off guard, he heard that Fu Ying's tone was wrong, but he didn't understand why he was angry, when the long saber slashed, he Instinctively raised the sword horizontally, Fuying didn't know how much effort she used, Fengxiu suddenly felt a pain in the tiger's mouth, he raised his head in astonishment, and met Fuying's red eyes.The sword in his hand fell to the ground with a clang, and the blade wrapped in strong wind barely stopped in front of Fengxiu.

At that moment, Fengxiu clearly felt that Fuying's move just now was already a killer move. If he hadn't stopped it in time, he might have been split in two, "You want to kill me?" Fengxiu was stunned Looking at Fuying, Fuying was also stunned, Fengxiu was half a head taller than him, he looked up at Fengxiu's unbelievable expression, suddenly felt absurd.

The position of General Zhonglang is not important, nor is the court, he just wants to prove himself.But what is he doing for these things now?Fuying looked at Fengxiu, her eyes were red, she suddenly turned around and got off the ring, pushed away the crowd and strode out.

"Fuying!" Fengxiu never thought that the two who were joking just now would go to such a point, and he didn't care about the competition, so he hurriedly chased after him, but he couldn't find anyone in the crowd.

"What's the matter?" Wuyi stood up from the teahouse, he could see Fu Ying running away from top to bottom, and he couldn't see clearly from far away.

Chu Wushang didn't say a word at the side.Someone rushed up to the teahouse, and Chu Wushang glanced back. It was a dead man sent by Prime Minister You to Wuyi, "Master Wushang." A few words.

Wu Wushang's face changed instantly, "Wuyi, Taichangqing and his eldest son provoked Tianwei, and was beheaded by the emperor in Zuling, and ordered that all property in Taichangqing's house be confiscated, the male relatives were exiled, and the female was demoted common people!"

"Scraping the house?" Wuyi turned around in astonishment, among the crowds of people on the long street, Fengxiu had already given up the selection and hurriedly chased Fu Ying away, unaware of the unexpected disaster.
