Chapter 123 Chapter 123 Happy Chinese New Year
Yanyulou

The cold moon shines into the three-story attic, where collections are gathered and brightly lit.

There was a faint fragrance of ink in the attic hall, and various classic books were displayed on the bookshelves.

On the mahogany floor in the center of the hall, a large piece of Persian carpet is laid. On both sides of the Persian carpet are placed eight peach wood low tables. On each of the low tables are placed pens, inks, papers and inkstones, and a sapphire wine glass.

Sitting at the low table were eight scribes who were talking loudly, and there was a maid standing behind the scribes.

The waiter held a jug of wine in his hand, and the eight scribes recited and composed poems according to the order of their seats. Those who could not compose poems immediately would be fined three cups of wine.

Su Ping'an and Li Qingzhao sat in the two positions at the left end.

The literati in the attic hall had already heard about the heroic deeds of Su Ping'an's rescue of Li Qingzhao, and everyone applauded Su Ping'an.

The owner of the Yanyu Building is a young man in brocade clothes, with a weak appearance, with a hint of strangeness in his eyes, he said to Su Ping'an: "Brother Su's willingness to help Miss Li is really admirable to Zhang! I don't know if Brother Su can sing Poetry and fu?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes turned to Su Ping'an.

"I just came with Miss Li. I'm not good at reciting poems and writing lyrics." Su Ping'an glanced at everyone, and finally fell on the clear eyes of Li Qingzhao beside him.

Li Qingzhao smiled, "It's okay, Mr. Su, you can do whatever you want."

A scribe in a blue robe squinted at Su Ping'an and said, "Hey, that's not acceptable. We are all invited by Mr. Zhang. Brother Su, how can we do it if we don't know how to write poems and lyrics?"

A scribe in a purple robe sitting opposite Su Ping'an echoed, "Exactly, if brother Su can't compose poems and lyrics, please wait downstairs for Ms. Li."

The scribes here actually all have admiration for Li Qingzhao, but Li Qingzhao seems to have an indescribable affection for Su Pingan in his eyes, which makes the scribes in the hall feel very uncomfortable, and unconsciously regard Su Pingan as a thorn in their side , could not help feeling hostile to Su Ping'an.

There was a sour smell in the air.

Su Pingan didn't bother to participate in this kind of gathering of reciting poems and composing poems. He was about to go back to the inn to sleep. He smiled sassyly, stood up, and cupped his hands to everyone: "So, then I will take a step first and say goodbye."

With that said, he walked towards the stairs on the third floor.

"Master Su, wait a minute!" Li Qingzhao's heart sank, he stood up involuntarily, and quickly reached out to hold Su Pingan's hand.

At this time, she felt something was wrong, her cheeks flushed slightly, her heart was beating wildly, and she quickly let go of Su Ping'an's hand.

The literati in the hall were stunned, and suddenly felt that Su Ping'an must have an unusual relationship with Li Qingzhao. They felt jealous and resentful. Li Qingzhao was like a goddess in the eyes of these literati.

Li Qingzhao glanced at the scribes in the hall with a serious face, and said seriously: "Everyone, Mr. Su is the benefactor of the little girl. Besides, Mr. Su said that he is not good at reciting poems and lyrics. , if he wants to leave, the little girl will not stay here, so leave."

Seeing that Li Qingzhao was also going with Su Ping'an, the owner of Yanyu Building jumped in his heart. His main purpose of holding this party was to invite Li Qingzhao, a talented woman. If Li Qingzhao left, then they would not have to hold a poetry meeting.

He hurriedly stepped forward to apologize and said: "Yes, Miss Li is right, it is Zhang who did not entertain well, Brother Su, please don't mind, everyone here is just a slip of the tongue, please sit down!"

The blue-robed scribe already regarded Su Ping'an as a thorn in his side. He stood up and said, "That's not possible! Mr. Zhang, why does he have to recite a poem? If it weren't for Yanyu Tower, anyone could come. ?"

Master Zhang glanced at Su Pingan with some embarrassment, "Brother Su, look..."

"Forget it, I'll chant the last poem." Su Pingan glanced indifferently at the scribes present, lowered his head and thought for a while, and then recited a poem of Li Bai's Le Xian Poetry aloud.

Le Xian Poetry
The mist of the floating world,
Clear air and water sky.

All things are joyful,
Ruthless is immortal.

……

When Su Pingan recited this Le Xian Poetry School, the hall suddenly became silent, and the scribes all looked at Su Pingan. There was surprise, admiration, and even disbelief in their eyes.

"Ah...this poem is so well written..."

"I really didn't expect Brother Su to hide his talent on purpose, I'm really ashamed..."

The scribes discussed in low voices.

After listening to the poem recited by Su Ping'an, Li Qingzhao felt as if he was floating in the air. His eyes were full of admiration, and he looked up at Su Ping'an and said, "...Mr. Su, this song of yours The Immortal Poetry School is free and unrestrained, and also has a sense of immortality, it should be a rare masterpiece of poetry!"

Su Ping'an said indifferently: "Miss Li, it's too much!"

Just now the blue-robed scribe walked out of his seat and came to Su Ping'an, with a hint of apology in his heart, he cupped his hands and said, "Brother Su, I made a mistake in my words just now, if I offend you, I hope Brother Su will forgive me, I don't know Brother Su Can you tell me your name?"

Su Ping'an is not a narrow-minded person, and he cupped his hands at the blue-robed scribe, and said calmly: "Don't dare, I'm going to Su Ping'an!"

When everyone in the hall, including Li Qingzhao, heard Su Ping'an's name, they were even more surprised than before, with a hint of admiration in their eyes.

Master Zhang of the Yanyu Tower never expected that a rare distinguished guest would come to his Yanyu Tower tonight, and his jaw almost dropped from shock, "Ah! Could it be...you...you are the one who wrote the song "Youth Song" General Su?!"

"...Ah! Young people!... General Su?!" Everyone present looked at Su Ping'an with a hint of awe and admiration, and gasped for breath one after another.

"It's the general." Su Pingan said indifferently.

"Greetings to General Su!" Suddenly there was an uproar in the hall, and one after another came to Su Ping'an's body to respectfully pay respects, all of them had expressions of admiration on their faces.

Except for Li Qingzhao, these literati and talented scholars are either Juren or Jinshi, all of whom are famous talents, but when they first heard Su Ping'an's "Youth Walk", they regarded Su Ping'an as a poet.

Li Qingzhao, who was standing beside Su Ping'an, seemed to be in a dream. She still couldn't believe that her benefactor was General Su, whom she had admired for a long time. She had heard about Su Ping'an's youth tour a year ago.

When she heard Su Ping'an's "Youth Walk", she regarded Su Ping'an as an idol in her heart. Like a modern star chaser, she wanted to meet Su Ping'an very much, but as a daughter, she couldn't go to Jinling at will, and Su Ping'an It's not something that anyone can see immediately, and what she never expected is that Su Ping'an is now in front of her, and she looks up at Su Ping'an obsessively like a dream.

After the poetry meeting in Yanyu Tower ended, Su Ping'an and Li Qingzhao walked out of Yanyu Tower together. It was already late at night, and there were gradually fewer pedestrians on the street.

A gust of cool wind blew across the cheeks of the two of them. Su Pingan looked up at the night sky and said to Li Qingzhao beside him: "Miss Li, will your family blame you if you go back so late?"

"General Su, it's okay, the little girl will often sneak out, giggling..." Li Qingzhao stuck out his tongue and smiled mischievously.

"...Heh, let's go then." Su Ping'an was noncommittal, with a wry smile on the corner of his mouth.

Li Qingzhao nodded, and walked with Su Ping'an, his eyes turned slightly: "General Su, my little girl has been wanting to meet General Su since I was lucky enough to hear your song "Youth Walk" last year, I can't think of it... ..."

"Can't think of anything?" Su Pingan shook his head slightly and smiled.

Li Qingzhao said happily: "Unexpectedly, the dream of the little girl will finally come true tonight. If the little girl knows that there will be General Su to rescue Deng Tuzi, the little girl will..."

Having said that, her cheeks flushed slightly, and she looked up at Su Ping'an.

"...Hehe, Miss Li was joking, this general is not a celebrity." Su Pingan smiled and looked up at the stars in the night sky.

Li Qingzhao couldn't help but also looked up at the stars in the night sky. A trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, and he said slowly, "A star? General Su, what kind of star is it?"

Su Pingan lowered his head and thought for a while, then shrugged his shoulders and said, "... Well, a star is the most shining star in the sky, which means that everyone pays attention to it, but this general is not a star, but Miss Li is a bit like a groupie. "

"Star chasers? What kind of clan?" Li Qingzhao's eyes were full of curiosity. She had read a lot of books, but she had never heard of the novel words that Su Pingan said. She thought that Su Pingan must be well-informed and knowledgeable. Only then can he understand so many novel words, and he can't help admiring Su Ping'an even more.

Su Pingan saw that the most talented woman in the ages was stunned by him, and felt funny in his heart, so he wanted to tease Li Qingzhao, a talented woman, "The star chasers are the most mysterious group in the world."

Li Qingzhao seemed to understand, "Really? That little girl shouldn't be a groupie. The little girl admires General Su for your talent. My father has also admired General Su for a long time. If dad knows that it is General Su who sent me home Yes, you will be surprised."

Su Ping'an shook his head slightly and smiled, "...Ha, Miss Li is joking. I already have a family, but I don't dare to let Miss Li admire me. I'm just sending you home tonight because I'm afraid that you will meet Miss Li." To the bad guys.”

Li Qingzhao nodded, not taking it seriously, pursed his lips, and said softly: "The little girl knows that General Su has a family, and the little girl also knows that the two wives of General Su are both surnamed Li."

Su Pingan was slightly taken aback. He was very surprised. How could Li Qingzhao know so much about him, even knowing the surnames of his two wives. A wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth and said: "...Miss Li, it seems that you still You really know a lot about this general, it would be a pity for you not to be a detective."

Li Qingzhao looked at the lights and pedestrians in the market, with curiosity in his eyes, "Detective? General Su, what is a detective?"

Su Ping turned his head and glanced at Li Qingzhao, "A detective is his eyes and ears."

"Oh, that's right." Li Qingzhao nodded. She felt that what Su Pingan knew was something she had never heard of before, and she became more and more admiring and curious about Su Pingan.

The two of them unknowingly arrived at Nancheng Zhuque Street in Bianjing City. There were only a few pedestrians on this street and it was dim.

Su Pingan faintly felt that someone was following them all the time, so he couldn't help but glanced back.

Sure enough, a man in a black suit followed behind them, holding a steel knife in his hand, and the figure of the man in the suit stretched very long under the moonlight.

Name:? ? ?
Attributes: Constitution 53, Strength 68, Dexterity 67
Condition: Excellent
Su Ping'an whispered to Li Qingzhao who was beside him, "Miss Li, someone is following us and it may be bad for us. You should hide aside."

Li Qingzhao's heart skipped a beat. She knew she didn't know martial arts and couldn't help Su Ping'an, so she could only obediently obey and hide aside, "...Oh, General Su, be more careful."

With a thought in Su Ping'an's mind, the Qingfeng sword appeared in his right hand.

Li Qingzhao saw a sword with a cold light appear out of thin air in Su Ping'an's hand, and was taken aback for a moment, thinking that Su Ping'an would do tricks.

The man in black was also stunned for a moment, and then ran towards Su Pingan like a storm. He clenched the steel knife in his hand and slashed diagonally towards Su Pingan with a hint of strong wind.

In the silent night, a flash of lightning suddenly flashed, accompanied by a thunderclap, resounding for ten miles around the city of Bianjing.

Su Pingan quickly held his sword to block it, and with a "bang", the swords intersected, and a dazzling light flashed, and the two of them took a step back.

"Damn...!" Seeing that the steel knife in the man's hand was not broken, Su Pingan thought that the steel knife in the man's hand might be a treasured knife.

Although Su Pingan took the knife, the man in black was quite strong. Under the forceful strike, Su Pingan's right hand holding the hilt of the sword was faintly numb, and the muscles on his face twitched slightly.

"Good boy, you have two tricks, but you dare to offend my master, you will die."

The man in black's attack was blocked by Su Ping'an, and instead of being angry, he laughed. While speaking, the steel knife gleaming in the dark night retracted, and the steel knife slashed at Su Ping'an straight up and down.

Su Ping'an sideways, dodged a burst of chopping.

Suddenly, the blade passed across his body, a thrilling blow.

Fortunately, the man in black is stronger in front of him, but his physique is a little less than Su Pingan's, and his agility is not as fast as Su Pingan's. As long as he withstands the attacks from the man in black in front, Su Ping'an in the back will Then you can counterattack.

In the dark night, a gust of cool wind blew by with an unspeakable coldness. Li Qingzhao, who was standing aside, gasped involuntarily, and broke into a cold sweat for Su Ping'an involuntarily.

The man in black wielded his sword and attacked Su Pingan in a series of fierce attacks, but was unable to hurt Su Pingan.

At this time, Su Pingan saw the dazzling light of the sword in Su Ping'an's hand, like a silver light, stabbing the man in black's chest like lightning with a backhand sword.

The man in black was not as fast as Su Ping'an, and he had consumed most of his physical strength just now. He couldn't dodge in time, and the Qingfeng sword had already pierced his chest.

"Ah...!" A heart-piercing scream pierced through the clouds in the dark night.

Attracting the attention of passers-by in the distance, there were several exclamations.

Su Pingan slowly pulled out the sword, the sword glowed with blood in the night lights.
