Dao fruit.

"Oh? There seems to be something interesting going on in the building."

As soon as a few people walked in and looked at the scene in the hall, someone spoke out. The person who spoke was Xi Muyuan who had a relationship with Qiu Yan once.

In this group of people, apart from Zhen Zhizuo and Xi Muyuan, they also included Zheng Yi from Chunqiu Academy who had met Qiu Yan, and An Jin from Jiuyuan Academy.

The rest of the people are also unique in their own way. A look or an expression can touch others' hearts and minds. Each of them has an aura of nourishing and deep energy. As soon as they enter the building, a burst of aura immediately spreads out, making the surrounding scholars subconsciously avoid it. step aside.

Those who recognized the identities of several people were even more silent and greeted repeatedly.

These people are the mainstays of the several major academies in the Eastern Capital, the true core figures, and each of them can be called a banner. In terms of status, they are not far behind Gao Song of Chongli Academy, or even worse.

The time chosen by several people to enter the building is also extraordinary. Although there are no hard and fast rules and no clear procedures for Wenxuan Appraisal, on the surface, it is just a gathering among literati, but similar things have happened before, so we can roughly estimate the time. Many people understand that in a short while, several great Confucians and gentlemen will show up after finishing their comments and rankings. At that time, the evaluation will be regarded as the beginning.

Calculating the time, in fact, it is imminent. Those who come at this juncture can be regarded as the finale, that is, the latecomers in the common saying, who have grasped the speed and can reflect a different status from others.

This is also the situation that Xi Muyuan specially created. On the way, he first met Gao Song, argued with him, and gained the upper hand.Then I ran into friends from other academies. After the conversation, I met Zhen Zhizuo and Zheng Yi, and greeted them. Finally, there was another unexpected visitor, and I greeted everyone one by one.

Back and forth, time wasted.It was all in Xi Muyuan's calculations, and when they arrived at Wenxuan Building, this last situation came into being.

However, according to Xi Muyuan's thinking, when they walked into the building, they must have faced a pair of eyes full of surprise and awe, but right now.Although the eyes that greeted them were full of awe, the number was too small.

Turning his gaze, Xi Muyuan noticed that most of the people were gathered around a corner of the hall, not knowing what they were looking at, and the Confucian scholars outside stood on tiptoe.Stretching his neck, he desperately looked inside. There was someone standing directly on the stairs next to him, looking down from a high position, nodding from time to time.

"Gentlemen should have not ranked the article and circulated it to everyone, why are they all gathered in one place?" Xi Muyuan suppressed his unhappiness, followed the trend, and said pretending not to care.

As soon as these words were said, a rough voice came from outside the door——

"Since Mr. Xi is curious, let's go over and have a look, we will know for sure."

The voice fell, and a strong man walked in, with a thick back and a heavy waist, wearing dark clothes, but his body was stretched taut by bulging muscles, giving people a strong and powerful feeling.

After the man came in, he stroked his hair.His hair was bound by a turban, crooked and disheveled, and it could be seen that it was tied up improvised, probably in a hurry.Not careful Dali, messy, can be described as neither fish nor fowl.

His skin is slightly dark, and his appearance and demeanor are quite different from those of the Central Plains people, giving him a fierce feeling. When he speaks, although the tone is accurate, there is still a little tail sound, which is a bit weird.

However, such a fierce person, with a kind smile on his face at this time, expressed respect and admiration to Xi Muyuan, Zhen Zhizuo and others, his words were courteous and thoughtful, and he was more enthusiastic than ordinary people from the Central Plains.

"Brother Duolu is right, so I went over to take a look." Xi Muyuan smiled slightly, and was very friendly to the strong man, and called out his name.

This person was none other than Duolu who had traveled with King Yan.

It can be seen that the scholarly atmosphere in the Duoluyin building is suppressing his temper. While Xi Muyuan was speaking, he looked around a few times, showing admiration unabashedly: "As expected of the middle-earth Tianchao, even the layout of the building is very particular, I am a rough person, I can't see the subtlety, but I can feel the extraordinary profound meaning from the subtleties, as if it can calm the mind and calm the mind."

Zhen Zhizuo said: "The owner of Wenxuan is a great person. The reason why he agreed to list this building as a place of evaluation this time is because of the sake of several gentlemen."

"So that's it." Duolu hurriedly thanked Zhen Zhizuo, his posture was very low, but when he bowed his head to salute, there was a burst of brilliance in his eyes, revealing a greedy desire, a kind of desire to take everything around him, The urge to grab it was just waiting for him to look up, and the abnormality in his eyes disappeared, replaced by a look of respect.

Because of the angle of sight, people around did not notice anything unusual.

While talking, several people stepped up the stairs, Confucian scholars along the way recognized the identities of several people, bowed and retreated.

Duolu said again: "Everyone in the Tianchao really knows how to be polite and orderly. If our grassland can do the same, that would be great. I hope some of you will show me some face when I go back this time, so that I can wait for the people of the grassland to take a bath. Celestial Evans."

Xi Muyuan smiled and said, "Brother Duolu, you really know how to see each other."

Duolu shook his head and said: "Isn't there a saying in the Central Plains that 'sincerity leads to gold and stone', a certain family believes that as long as you persevere, you will be able to impress you gentlemen." When he was speaking, his eyes were on Zhen Zhizuo and the others. Sweeping, looking sincere, but did not get a response.

Although he received a cold reception, Doru didn't mean to be discouraged at all, and still smiled.

"Okay, don't mention this matter for now, if you want to..." Xi Muyuan was talking, but his words stopped abruptly, the smile froze on his face, his pupils shrank suddenly, and a figure was reflected——

It was Qiu Yan who was playing chess.

The few of them walked to the top of the stairs at this time, condescending, looked over the crowd, fell inside, and saw the scene of Qiu Yan playing chess with others clearly.

"En? Isn't this Qiu Yan? He's here too." Zhen Zhizuo couldn't help but speak when he saw it.

"Not only that, from my point of view, Mr. Qiu's intentions here are not small." Zheng Yi from Chunqiu Academy also commented, with a smile on his face all the time.

"Huh?" Duolu followed the gazes of several people, his eyes swept over the two chess players, and finally stopped on Qiu Yan, "Isn't this the old friend of King Yan?"

He recognized Qiu Yan immediately, and his heart moved.

A few days ago, when he was in contact with King Yan, he happened to meet Qiu Yan. After listening to Yang Ying's words, Duolu realized Qiu Yan's extraordinaryness and wanted to make friends with him, but was stopped by King Yan, and finally nothing happened. .

Looking back afterwards, he couldn't help sighing secretly, but he didn't expect to meet again here.

"This time, I can't let it go easily..."

While Duolu was thinking, the chess game was decided, and he saw the man opposite Qiu Yan sigh, and then surrendered. After getting up, he bowed to Qiu Yan again, with a respectful attitude and polite words.

Not only this person, but around the table, there were three or four people standing aside. From the subtle expressions of these people, we can see the respectful meaning. When Qiu Yan got up, they all took two steps back, showing a faint behavior The taste of discipleship.

The man surnamed Hu was also among them.

In fact, since Takamatsu conceded and the man surnamed Hu came forward, five games have passed. In these five games, only one player actually finished a game, and the others all surrendered in the middle of the game.

"Even Jiang Han conceded defeat before reaching the middle game."

"Is this Qiu Yan really so powerful?"

"I don't know if it's my illusion, but the aura of these chess players seems to have changed a little..."

"It shouldn't be, hand-to-hand chess, competition of mind and will, there is no set position, this Qiu Yan's chess strength is not superb, there is no reason to force so many people to admit defeat in the middle game, and many of them still have the advantage."

"In any case, this Qiu Yan is going to become famous."

"This person already has a reputation. After this incident, he will inevitably become famous."

The sound of discussion made Xi Muyuan's complexion even more ugly, but Na Duolu's eyes were shining. At the same time, listening to Zhen Zhizuo and others' conversation, he gradually understood Qiu Yan's background.

When Duolu heard about defeating Mr. Congratulations and attracting Mr. Chen, his eyes shot out with strong emotional fluctuations. He wished he could go down and make friends with Qiu Yan immediately. Fortunately, he knew the severity and knew that leaving at this time would be tantamount to offending everyone present , Then he held back again.

"Be patient for a while. I don't have any advantage if I go down now. Since Qiu Yan has an old relationship with King Yan, I have helped King Yan a lot. It should be no problem to exchange this favor for King Yan's recommendation. If you can invite this person back grassland……"

Thoughts in his heart fluctuated and he made up his mind.

"This Qiu Yan, these days is considered to be quite famous, and it's not unexpected to appear here. It's just that he is playing chess there before the judging has started. It's not dignified enough." Xi Muyuan shook his head, he noticed Duolu's expression After the change, he noticed the attitude of the people around Qiu Yan towards Qiu Yan, and his heart flashed unhappiness, and he wanted to suppress Qiu Yan's arrogance.

"Gao Song is also there to join in the fun..." Taking another look, Xi Muyuan turned his head and said to the people around him, "Forget it, let's not care about that, I told the teacher the day before yesterday that I wanted to listen to you gentlemen, and the teacher allowed me to enter the room and be silent Watching from the sidelines, he also said that the opportunity is rare, if you are interested, you may as well go together."

As he spoke, he smiled apologetically at Dolu: "Brother Dolu, please forgive me, this..."

"Mr. Xi, you don't need to say more, a certain family understands." Duolu waved his hand, "I came from the grassland. I don't want to visit you gentlemen at this time. I just went up to meet the prince." Even so, he could not help showing regret His face became pale, and even his thoughts on Qiu Yan faded a lot.

"Unfortunately, those people in that room are some of the top literary talents in the Eastern Capital. Looking at the world, I'm afraid they can also occupy a few talents. If they can visit and leave an impression, maybe..."

Seeing his regret from Duolu's face, Xi Muyuan felt complacent, and felt that it was a game back, so he turned his head to look at Qiu Yan again, said nothing more, and then led a few people upstairs.

"Even if you are here to stir up trouble and become famous in the Eastern Capital's literary world, you are still just a scholar studying, but I can share the room with you gentlemen and listen to the witty words closely. In this way, the judgment will be judged."
