Chapter 57
When the three of them left Jiangzhou, the tragic death of Cai Wenlong, the son of Cai Jiu, the prefect of Jiangzhou, broke out. Cai Jiu was furious, blocked Jiangzhou City, and arrested the whole city. It was probably too late, and nothing was found.

At this time, Chao Tian, ​​Li Yuanfang and Niu Gao had already left the border of Jiangzhou, heading north towards Bianliang, Tokyo.

He stopped and stopped on the road, but he didn't waste time. In half a month, he came to Bianliang, the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, Tokyo.

Tokyo Bianliang City!
The capital of the Northern Song Dynasty was the largest capital city in the world at that time, with a population of one million and a high city and deep pools.

In the city, there are rich merchants, high-ranking officials and nobles, and there are so many traffickers and pawns. It is precisely because of this that the bustling and lively scene of Bianliang City in Tokyo has long been established.

Chao Tian, ​​Li Yuanfang, and Niu Gao led their horses into Bianliang City, Tokyo. It was already noon, and the three of them were hungry. First, they found a big restaurant and ordered a large table of food and drinks. Satisfied.

By the time they found an inn to stay in and cleaned up, the moon and stars were sparse and the sky was getting dark.

However, in an international metropolis like Bianliang City in Tokyo, there are also many interesting places to go at night. With bright lights on the streets, the whole Bianliang in Tokyo seems to be daytime.

The three of Chao Tian made an appointment and were going to visit the night view of Bianliang in Tokyo.

After leaving the inn, even though it was getting late, the street was still bustling with people. On both sides of the street, there were row upon row of shops, teahouses and restaurants, and small stalls of peddlers could be seen everywhere.

Those who sell sugar, those who sell rouge powder, those who sell herbal tea and fruit tea...everything.

The richness and variety of folk snacks in the Song Dynasty is not as good even in modern society. There are hundreds of kinds of cold drinks in historical records.

Although Chao Tian came from a modern society, he could not help being dumbfounded and surprised when he lingered in the bustling streets of Bianliang, Tokyo. He had to say that it was not without reason that the Song Dynasty was able to lead the entire world economically.

Chao Tian was like this, and Li Yuanfang and Niu Gao next to him were like grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden. Everything they saw was novel.

Especially Niu Gao, this idiot, yelled and yelled, which attracted the attention of the people around him. Seeing Niu Gao's appearance, they were all surprised. Chao Tian felt ashamed, and unconsciously distanced himself from him.

Chao Tian lingered on along the streets, bustling with people. Such a prosperous and lively Tokyo Bianliang would be destroyed in two years.

The Jin soldiers invaded and burned Tokyo's Bianliang, thinking of this, Chao Tian couldn't help feeling a little heartbroken.

How many treasures of the Chinese nation were all destroyed in the hands of foreigners.

As is the case with Bianliang in Tokyo, so is the Summer Palace!
At this moment, Chao Tian suddenly found that the crowd in front suddenly increased, making it difficult for the people behind to move. There were bursts of exclamations in front, which made Chao Tian even more curious.

Relying on Chao Tian, ​​the three of them are all martial arts practitioners, and their arms are extremely strong, so they squeezed in abruptly.

After entering the crowd, Chao Tian could see clearly that on the left side of the street, there was a three-story building with carved beams and painted buildings, which was beautiful and exquisite.

The building is called Fanlou, known as the head of the 72nd floor of Bianliang in Tokyo.

It's just because there lives a fairy-like fairy in it, who is proficient in poetry, song, calligraphy, calligraphy and painting.

This person is Li Shishi, a famous prostitute in Tokyo, and it is said that she is still the confinement of the current emperor, the Holy Lord, so Li Shishi's reputation will spread even more.

The reason why so many people gathered outside the Fan Tower today is because they heard that Miss Li Shishi made friends with her poems and songs. Three levels were set up under the Fan Tower. Those who passed the three levels could meet Miss Shishi. Talking by candlelight at night.

When the news spread, I don't know how many Wensheng sons, dignitaries and dignitaries can't sleep at night.

When Chao Tian heard that it was Li Shishi, his heart was moved immediately. She was a strange woman in the Northern Song Dynasty, a talented woman, a famous prostitute in the capital, and she was unparalleled in beauty and proficiency in poetry and poetry.

If you can catch a glimpse of Fangze, it is not in vain to come to Bianliang, Tokyo.

"Young masters, be quiet, be quiet!"

At this moment, a maid came out from the arena at the gate of Fanlou. She looked handsome, and she didn't show any timidity in the face of so many people.

"Young masters, tonight, my young lady, teacher and teacher, will meet friends through literature, and set up three checks. Those who pass the three checks can have a night chat with my young lady by candlelight."

"Since you are here, you must be well-educated and highly talented. I will not waste time, so I will talk about the first level."

"The first level is the couplets. There are three hundred couplets here. Any young master who can get ten of them right will pass the preliminary round of the first level."

"That means you will have the chance to participate in the first round if you answer ten questions?" Immediately, someone from the audience asked.

The servant girl smiled slightly, nodded, and said: "Young master is right, that's exactly what he said, so there are only 30 people who are eligible to participate in the third test, and no one will wait after the expiration date."

"I come!"

"I'm coming too!"

"Get out of the way, let me go!"

As soon as the maid finished speaking, all the young masters and dignitaries under the arena rushed to the arena, vying for the place among the 30 people.

"My lord, don't you want to give it a try?" Seeing that Chao Tian was eager to try, Li Yuanfang asked softly.

"Of course, how could such a fun thing be missing from me!"

After Chao Tian finished speaking, he rushed to the ring and won a spot by virtue of his force.

Those ten couplets were very simple, and Chao Tian had seen most of them in later generations, so he easily won the place to participate in the first level.

In just a moment, 30 people stood out. Those who didn't get the chance could only shake their heads and sigh. A rich man wanted to spend money to buy a place, but there were a few who were short of money who could come to participate.

"My lord, these [-] lords, please follow my slaves to the hall of Fan Lou."

"The rest of you young masters, I can only apologize."

After the servant girl finished speaking, she led 30 people into the fan building, and Li Yuanfang and Niu Gao could also enter the fan building because they were Chao Tian's retainers, but they couldn't participate in the third pass.

Chao Tian came to the fan building, looked around, and found that there was something unique and magnificent inside, with jade masonry and carvings, resplendent and resplendent, just like Qionglou Yuyu.

There is a faint fragrance in the air, refreshing and lingering.

When they came to the hall, everyone sat down one after another, each with a table, and there were fragrant tea, delicate snacks and fruits on the table.

Chao Tian also found a corner and sat down. Li Yuanfang and Niu Gao stood behind Chao Tian, ​​with their hands down.

"Not much nonsense, let's start the first level. Here are ten upper couplets written by my young lady. Please send out the second couplets. The time limit is [-] minutes."

"The person who can answer five couplets within a quarter of an hour and answer neatly will win and can enter the second round."

After the maid finished the introduction, she opened the scroll and hung it on the screen so that everyone could see it.
