Qiu Fengshu set off leisurely with two letters.

Yuan Congqian had dinner, lit the source stone lamp, and sat alone in front of the desk.

On the table was a floor plan of Dahuang City, and Master Ping had marked out the neighborhoods and fields for Yuan Congqian to designate an industrial platform.

The disadvantages of towns compared to mobile cities are obvious. When natural disasters come, you can't run away, and you can only rely on the heavenly master to block them. The good news is that Dahuang City is close to the northern border, the probability of natural disasters is small, and the villagers' land is still stable.

The sound of the doorbell brought Yuan Congqian back from his thoughts.

"Could it be that Master Lu has made some progress in his research?"

Yuan Congqian put down his pen and walked to the door.

I don't know how many villagers wanted to send him fruits, vegetables, grains and wine, but he refused them all. However, there was still a basket of feather beast eggs left at his door. Someone even hung a pickled meat beast ham on his door. The best quality ham would ferment and emit a rich milky aroma, which could not stop pouring into the room.

When he opened the door, he didn't see anyone, but only saw a pair of unicorn horns rushing towards Yuan Congqian.

"I knew that the hard-to-deal-with Miss Qiu beside you had left."

Lin Ruolong had a successful smile on her face. She took off her slightly worn hood and raised her head: "Master Yuan, I'm here to ask you for something! This time I'm going through the front door!"

Yuan Congqian suddenly felt overwhelmed. What was this? A pretty boy was taken advantage of?

Lin Ruolong held his hand and walked straight inside: "Hero, the autumn wind is cold, why don't you come in and have a chat?"

...................

Chapter 133: Miss Qiu is gone, the bed is empty

Yuan Congqian was led into the house.

Looking at Lin Ruolong's confident steps, if you don't know, you would think this is her house.

What does "I knew that the hard-to-deal-with Miss Qiu beside you left" mean? This sounds too much like a yellow-haired person taking advantage of the situation. She saw Yuan Congqian running away in a hurry before. Was it because of Miss Qiu beside Yuan Congqian?

After all, Lin Ruolong was not as strong as Yuan Congqian, so he stopped halfway through his walk.

"Your door is half open, isn't that inviting me in? Why are you being so evasive, hero? Why are you acting like a woman?" Lin Ruolong said frankly, as if he had become a different person, blinking his eyes.

The bigger her eyes are, the harder it is to hide the guilt in them.

"What on earth is going on?"

Yuan Congqian directly exposed her disguise.

Lin Ruolong hesitated for a long time, then took out a letter with sealing wax, which had already been opened.

The envelope was anonymous, with printed text on it, saying "Northeastern Martial Arts Conference". It was made of very low-quality paper, which could be compared to the paper used to distribute flyers at the cram school next to the school in the previous life.

When he unfolded it, he saw that it was an invitation letter, which allowed anyone holding it to enter the martial arts conference.

"The Northeastern Martial Arts Conference is hosted by the righteous hero Hunjianglong. The heroes from the three cities of Yumen, Danyan, and Langyi gathered in Hunjianglong's mountain stronghold to discuss the Dao. Hunjianglong prepared some wine for them to compete in fists, kicks, and swords. The winner can take charge of the Northeastern Martial Arts World and challenge Shang Shu..."

"Your father sent you to Dahuang City for training. You are here to learn thunder magic from Master Ping Tianshi."

"I'm already in the Great Wasteland City, how can he control me? I went to meet the heroes to compete, does that mean it doesn't count? Who said that the Great Wasteland City only has fields and ice fields? It seems that there are still people who know that there are heroes in the Great Wasteland!"

Lin Ruolong's face was filled with longing in her heart. "If I miss this opportunity, I won't know when I can see the heroes of Jianghu gather together again when I return to the capital. Shangshu is too far away, and I can't find a reason to go there."

Her dream of becoming a martial artist seemed to be just around the corner.

Yuan Congqian put the letter down and stroked his chin:

"It seems that this letter was not sent to Dahuang City. How did you get it?"

"Someone shot an arrow into the outer wall of the crop germplasm bank."

Lin Ruolong said, taking out a crossbow arrow. "The letter was entangled on the arrow by the silk thread, and it flew onto the wall. It's a pity that your house is made of stone, otherwise I would have used this trick to steal my father's letter."

Yuan Congqian took the crossbow and pointed the arrow at the source stone lamp.

The arrowhead is a standard official metal arrowhead, and the words that have been deliberately scratched and erased should be the four words "Shaofu Gongshi".

"You want to go to Hunjianglong Village?"

"How can a gathering of Jianghu heroes be without Yuan Xia?"

"So you wanted me to take you there."

Yuan Congqian immediately understood.

It seems that there are quite a lot of things hidden in this Hunjianglong’s village.

Bring little Qilin to see the dangers of the world, let Qixing Longyuan protect her, nothing should happen. Lin Ruolong was born into a noble family, and knew that she came to find Yuan Congqian to take her, and she ran into the deep mountains and old forests without anyone.

"I didn't expect that I would really have to help Master Lin Tian take care of his daughter... Never mind, it's a good opportunity to go meet that Hunjianglong."

Yuan Congqian thought to himself: "I have some free time these days, so it's okay to go. When will the martial arts conference be held?"

"Did you really agree?"

Lin Ruolong's joy jumped out of her face: "Okay, then, let's set off early tomorrow morning. I'll go prepare the ceremony. I've studied the route. If we walk east for less than an hour, we'll find an inn at the foot of the mountain to pick us up..."

After saying that, she ran out, but was easily pulled back by Yuan Congqian.

"Where are you running to? Lady Lin doesn't plan to stay overnight at my humble abode?"

Lin Ruolong shuddered all over, and her slender hands were held by Yuan Congqian. The boldness she pretended to have at the beginning suddenly leaked out: "What do you want to do! I, I, I warn you, I am already eighteen years old, you can't beat me, my father is a third-rank minister..."

Talking nonsense made him seem even more powerless.

He is still a third-rank minister, but old man Lin Guangmei has already been promoted.

"Your head is not even as high as my chest. How old are you?"

"Seventeen years old..." Lin Ruolong muttered.

It is consistent with Yuan Congqian’s imagination of this age.

"It's a cold autumn night, and I used to have Miss Qiu light the lamp and keep me company, which would have allowed me to fall asleep a little in this strange place. But now she has gone to the capital with the letter, and my bed is empty, making it hard for me to sleep all night."

"You can't sleep, what does it have to do with me? Just add the reward for taking me to the martial arts conference and that's it..."

"Why add it all together? Why not clarify it now?"

Yuan Congqian's doubtful words stimulated the little Qilin to jump up.

"No, the lights have to be turned off! I'm shy...wait, are you really turning them off?"

"Don't worry about it. I'm just really sleepy."

The source stone lamp was powered on, and the house was suddenly plunged into darkness, with only a few street lamps in the core urban area remaining. Yuan Congqian stepped over the little Qilin who was standing there in a daze, closed the door, and it suddenly became even darker.

Lin Ruolong suddenly became confused and uttered a few unclear syllables.

"Dahuang City doesn't consume much electricity, and there aren't many power generation facilities, so we should save some electricity for the city. It's late at night, and I'm going to bed. If you want to go back, do it as soon as possible." Yuan Congqian yawned and walked upstairs, as if he was deliberately ignoring her.

Lin Ruolong gritted his teeth, kicked off, and followed.

As he walked, Yuan Congqian took off the governor's silver belt and sash and put down the square gold seal.

He entered the bedroom from the second-floor corridor, turned off the lights, and lay down directly on the soft bed.

"Hunjianglong has gathered so many active people from the three cities, claiming that he wants to compete with Shangshu Wulin... Could it be that he has received news that a village chief has taken office in Dahuang City, and thinks that Dahuang City will also be rebuilt, and wants to include Dahuang City in the scope of the "Wulin" of these three cities?"

Yuan Congqian leaned against the back of the bed, thinking silently.

The so-called heroes of the Jianghu have become so urbanized that they are like mobile cities. The northeast of Da Yan is already barren, and only Langyi has a relatively good commodity economy. There is no room for Jianghu. The martial arts competition is fake, but showing off one's strength is real.

As for whether this was their idea or the Langyi people pushed behind the scenes, it was not important. Anyway, the Langyi prefect was already a dead man in Yuan Congqian's eyes. If he could tolerate the bandits' rampage, Yuan Congqian would be unworthy of being a relative if he didn't kill him.

The sound of footsteps came from outside the door.

With a creak, the door was gently pushed open, and then quickly closed by someone like a thief.

In the faint moonlight, you can see the light flowing on the smooth golden hair.

She glared at Yuan Congqian in the dark, her kunzite eyes particularly eye-catching on her round face.

"Don't look!"

Chapter 134: Sleeping in the Same Bed

"It's dark, let's see how much meat you have."

Yuan Congqian was speechless. Lin Ruolong could even compete with the old Taoist priest to see whose hands were smaller. What could he see with his night vision?

The uniform of the prospective Heavenly Master was thrown on Yuan Congqian's desk, the quilt was lifted, and the little Qilin quietly crawled in.

After she got on the bed, she nervously held a corner of the quilt with both hands, fearing that the temperature of human skin would be transmitted to her waist or somewhere else. She would shrink in fear when the quilt fell naturally on her waist.

But after waiting for a long time, Yuan Congqian became silent.

"Are you really asleep?" she tested cautiously.

"I was thinking about your martial arts conference."

Yuan Congqian said, "How can there be so many chivalrous men? If they are really capable, why don't they participate in the military examination? The civil officials of the court have never dared to obstruct the military examination. The civil and military have long been separated. If he reports a cheating in the military examination, I don't know how many people will lose their heads."

This is a very simple truth.

The military examination is related to the selection of low-level non-commissioned officers in Da Yan. Even the most foolish real dragon will not allow civil officials to mess around in the military examination. Those who are capable of cheating in the military examination do not need to rely on the military examination to turn their lives around. After passing the military examination, they have to go to the Imperial Academy in the capital to study martial arts for a few years, and then seek to be recruited by the Taiwei Mansion and be sent out to suppress bandits and make meritorious contributions. Isn't it tiring?

As for the reasons like not wanting to be a lackey of the imperial court and preferring to be free in the martial arts world, they can just deceive the ignorant aristocratic little unicorn like Lin Ruolong. You can ask among a hundred so-called martial arts people whether there are two who really do not want to be officials.

"...It's okay to just go and take a look. I just want to see what the martial arts world and the Jianghu are like."

Lin Ruolong lowered her voice, and put on an embarrassed look again, "Last time it was the collar and the photo, this time it's for your little sister Qiu to sleep with, what do you want next time? If I tell anyone, I won't be able to get married, and you still have the nerve to say that I shouldn't go to the martial arts conference?"

"After you go to the martial arts conference, you are no longer the daughter of Master Lin Tian, ​​and I am no longer the mayor of Dahuang City. We are all assumed to be a poor ruffian with nothing. Even if someone comes to attack, it may be useless for you to show your identity."

"Can they defeat Hero Yuan? I don't believe it."

"It's easy to dodge a spear, but hard to guard against an arrow. If someone shoots you with a crossbow, what will you do?"

It is of course easy for Yuan Congqian to protect himself.

But bringing along Lin Ruolong, whose actual combat capability is unknown, would inevitably restrict one's actions.

"I... I have thunder magic..." Lin Ruolong hesitated and couldn't give any other answer for a long time.

Putting aside the price she has to pay now, she was indeed being considerate by letting Yuan Congqian take her to watch the martial arts competition.

If the other party really wanted to harm her, Yuan Congqian would protect her well, and she might get injured. Even though she brought a lot of money and medicine from home, Xiao Qilin still felt uncomfortable because she was injured.

Lin Ruolong had his back to Yuan Congqian, with all kinds of thoughts constantly surging in his mind. He was unable to think about the questions Yuan Congqian asked, so he was really stumped by the question.

As for what she is thinking about now...

Would Yuan Congqian suddenly get up at night and ask her to take a few more photos and imitate the cat's cry for him? She usually only hugged the cat to sleep, would Yuan Congqian hug her like the cat? Would he touch her belly secretly like she usually touched the cat's belly before he could fall asleep?

The more he thought about it, the higher the little Qilin's body temperature became.

Lin Ruolong's mind seemed to be playing dozens of exciting martial arts dramas at the same time, and she had no intention of falling asleep. She reached behind her and touched Yuan Congqian, and found that he had already fallen asleep.

Lin Ruolong turned around carefully and looked at Yuan Congqian's profile in the moonlight.

A gorgeous long sword in her dream was quietly placed on the bedside, but Lin Ruolong had no intention of looking at it. The golden hair with a fresh fragrance flowed down Lin Ruolong's cheek to Yuan Congqian's nose, causing him to move restlessly, but he still fell into a deep sleep.

She was now lying on Yuan Congqian's chest like Li Nu, looking at the man who was against her brother and father.

"My brother and father must be very angry if I do this..."

The little Qilin thought blankly.

Not only did she fail to help the family through the difficult times, she also constantly gave the family's political enemy Yuan Congqian handles. Now it is too late to say it. I can only hope that my brother and father will discover Yuan Congqian's abnormality later.

Looking at the cheek so close, the little Qilin reached out his hand viciously and grabbed his face.

"Damn it, he actually teased me like this! Besides, won't those embarrassing photos of mine stay in his hands forever? I have to do whatever he wants me to do. Sometimes he's a hero, sometimes..."

She gritted her teeth and wanted to tickle him like a raccoon, but then she put her hand down silently. "Bad guy."

......

The next morning, the melodious calls of the feathered beasts merged into music.

When Yuan Congqian woke up, Lin Ruolong was already sitting in front of the mirror, combing her messy golden hair and tying it into a braid. Her clothes were so difficult to put on that she could still see the gold-threaded bellyband on her back.

"Oh no, the shrimp-headed man is peeking at the daughter of Si Sui Tai Qing."

Yuan Congqian thought silently in his heart and looked at it a few more times.

Lin Ruolong lifted her hair, the golden ends of her hair were all stuck to her forehead by sweat, she looked so embarrassed. She suddenly turned back to look at Yuan Congqian, the temperature on her face quickly rose, she grabbed her clothes, "What are you looking at?"

"Look at the cat." Yuan Congqian said.

"You're still bringing that up! Last time when I sent you a letter, didn't I say..."
