The number one martial artist in the world.

Such a title will indeed cause many aristocratic families to compete with those with ulterior motives.

Fortunately, the auspicious time to see off relatives has come, Xiao Boxu and Xiao Yan left the imperial envoys to eat wine in Lanling, while Xiao Yuan and Gu Junci sent Xiao Shunhua's carriage out of Lanling with Gu Junci and went straight to Langya and go.

Lanling and Langya lived next to each other, the distance was not too far, and the team waiting to see off their relatives coincided with the auspicious time for Langya to welcome their relatives.

As soon as the night fell, I heard the sound of crackling firecrackers and Xi Niang's voice outside, and then the husband and wife worshiped in the hall. Everyone gathered in the main hall to watch the ceremony, but Xiao Yuan sat alone in the porch with a wry smile on his face.

Gu Junci searched around, looked at Xiao Yuan who was sitting on the porch, hurriedly walked over and sat beside him: "What's the matter, I don't want to marry your sister."

"En." Xiao Yuan responded without hesitation.

Gu Junci handed over a jug of wine: "It was specially brought for you at the banquet ahead, drink it."

Xiao Yuan stared at him, took the jug, and didn't intend to drink, but said seriously: "My mother has four children, and the eldest brother is older than us, so Ayu and Shunhua both love to cling to me."

Gu Junci thought for a while, and was a little puzzled: "Isn't there still a third son?"

Xiao Yuan nodded with a wry smile: "It was born to Aunt Wan. My mother had Shunhua at the beginning, and Aunt Wan was her dowry maid, but she took the opportunity to have a relationship with me, and later she had A Jue. The age difference is not big."

Gu Junci suddenly realized, and continued to listen to Xiao Yuan's words.

"Are you direct? Shunhua and Shunying are about the same age. At that time, my father was still an official in Chang'an, and the uncle of the Pei family also settled in Chang'an. The relationship between the two families is very good. My mother and aunt Pei's family were pregnant together. Said, said they gave birth to a boy and a girl, and they became related by marriage."

"Unexpectedly, at that time, Aunt Pei's family gave birth to a son, A Sheng. Later, when his mother was pregnant with Shunhua, Aunt Pei's family was pregnant with Shunying. The relationship between the two families is good, and even the names of the two daughters are very similar. picture."

"Shunhua grew up by her mother's side all the time. She is proficient in poetry, calligraphy and painting. She can't even lose to a man in horseback riding and archery. My younger sister is a very good girl."

"From today on, my younger sister is someone else's wife, and will have children in the future."

Xiao Yuan looked sideways at the main hall, listened to the cheers from the audience, and finally drank the wine in the jug with his head raised, and then poured it on Gu Junci's shoulder.

"But even so, she is still a younger sister, and no one can bully her."

Gu Junci closed his eyes and smiled lightly, listening to the cheers from the people watching the ceremony in the main hall together with Xiao Yuan, subconsciously grabbed Xiao Yuan's shoulder and patted: "Don't worry, whether she is married or not, she is your Lanling woman." Isn't Xiao Shi's daughter."

Xiao Yuan responded, and what he could hear in his ears were the people who watched the ceremony wishing them to have a son early and grow old forever.

He couldn't help but looked at Gu Junci, thoughtful, and finally had no choice but to smile.

After Langya attended the wedding banquet, Xiao Yuan and his party rode back to Lanling overnight. After all, the emperor decreed to set up a martial arts arena outside Jinling City on February [-] of the next year. There are only four months left. Be prepared as much as possible.

At the beginning of December, Gu Junci received a letter from the King of Linyang. The letter said that he took part of the troops under the command of Linyang King to Jinling, which may be related to the arena on the second day of February. Time can go to Jinling together.

The thick snow on the ridge of the roof reflected the bright color of the night, but Xiao Yuan's study was as warm as spring.

Gu Junci sat on the stove, looked at Xiao Yuan behind the desk and said, "Tell me, why do Linyang King and the others go to Jinling when they are competing for the number one martial arts scholar in the world?"

Xiao Yuan put down the letter paper and pondered for a while, before he said: "I think this contest for champion of martial arts is just a vain name, since it is for people who have already rebelled to appear on the martial arts competition stage with other families, then I am thinking, Your Majesty Could it be that they want to take this opportunity to catch everyone in one go."

Gu Junci lowered his eyes and thought seriously: "I think it is possible. If the adoptive father and the others also go, Jinling City will have several generals under the foster father's hand, and Xie Suiyun will join. Fight against all the anti-kings."

Xiao Yuan focused his eyes, frowned, and unconsciously tapped on the table with his fingertips: "Your Majesty's all-in-one move is really high."

Gu Jun said: "Then you said, should I go to Jinling?"

Xiao Yuan raised his eyes and stared at Gu Junci for a while, thinking a little: "Go, not only you are going, but we are also going."

Gu Junci was puzzled: "I clearly knew it was a trap, why did I go there?"

Xiao Yuan nodded and said with a slight smile: "You don't know, Fan Yang has already sent a letter to my father, planning to form an alliance with us and win this martial arts champion together."

Gu Junci was still puzzled: "Why do you have to win this martial arts champion?"

Xiao Yuan said: "The title of number one in the world is a big enough temptation for martial arts practitioners, many people will want to get this title, but this time in the martial arts competition arena, who can win the number one in the world, then it is right Other anti-kings and aristocratic families have a certain degree of deterrence."

Gu Junci: "What if it's really a trap?"

Xiao Yuan: "That's okay, all the families and anti-kings will use half of their fighting power to win the title of number one in the world. If the emperor has other intentions at that time, as long as he is united, he will definitely be able to break through the siege. After all, it is outside the city. If we set up a martial arts arena, we can still garrison troops."

Gu Junci lightly rubbed the center of his brows: "That's the reason. If that's the case, then the Lord has decided to go?"

Xiao Yuan nodded: "He has already decided to leave for Jinling as soon as the fifteenth day of the first lunar month is over. Why don't you come with us then."

Gu Junci thought for a while, then nodded in response.

On the 15th of the first month of the 24th year of Jianye, Jinling.

Jiangnan, which is in spring, still has the chill of winter. It is worthy of the ancients saying that the gods are located. No matter the customs and customs in Jinling City, or the hawking on the street, there is a strong Jiangnan grace.

Especially the boats under the small bridge swayed by, and when you opened the window in the inn, you could see a large lake, and the willows on the shore showed their figures in the mist.

After arranging the rooms for Xiao Yuan, Gu Junci, and Xiao Yu and Yang Junfang, Gu Junci pushed open the window of the inn room and looked at the lake not far away, feeling very comfortable.

Just as he put down his burden, he heard a knock on the door. Gu Jun resigned and turned his head, looking at Xiao Yu standing at the door with raised lips and a smile:

"Brother Junci, we are going to play in the street later, will you go too?"

Gu Junci thought for a while: "No, I still have something to do."

Xiao Yu pouted with some displeasure: "Second brother will go too."

Gu Junci smiled and said: "I really have something to do, you and your second brother have a good time."

Xiao Yu nodded, and walked back awkwardly: "Okay, then we'll buy you a gift later."

Gu Junci responded, and then closed the window. Besides the money, there were only a few changes of clothes left.

After he put away the burden, he went downstairs with his sword and left the inn.

At present, more and more people are traveling with weapons in Jinling City. It seems that they are all here for the arena competition on February [-]. Gu Junci just came out of the inn, and he received a lot of eyes, which made him feel a little uncomfortable. too comfortable.

"Brother Gu, where are you going?"

Gu Junci hadn't taken a few steps when he heard a familiar voice behind him. Gu Junci stopped in surprise and looked back at Lu Qingxuan who was standing beside Meng Chengye. He raised his lips and smiled brilliantly. They rushed over and hugged each other.

"Brother Gu, Brother Gu, I haven't seen you for more than a year, I miss you so much." Lu Qingxuan also didn't care about the gentleman's etiquette, and hugged Gu Junci tightly, never letting go.

Gu Junci smiled helplessly, and after seeing Meng Chengye who was still wearing black clothes and wiping his forehead, he reached out and rubbed his head after a symbolic salute:

"Why are you still acting like a child? Let me see, my brother Qingxuan has grown up."

Lu Qingxuan let go of him, and proudly raised his head and chest: "I'm almost 19 years old, can I not grow up, and I will be crowned next year."

Gu Junci nodded dotingly: "Yes, yes, Qingxuan is already an adult."

Lu Qingxuan smiled embarrassingly: "Brother Gu, don't you turn [-] this year, you must send me an invitation card then, and I will definitely come to watch the ceremony in person."

Gu Junci patted his forehead lightly: "Crown ceremony, I don't know how it will be held in Lanling right now, let's have a look."

Lu Qingxuan took advantage of the situation and hugged his arm: "I don't care, whether you hold it or not, I will come."

Gu Junci nodded solemnly, and suddenly remembered what he had to do, and hurriedly said: "By the way, Qingxuan, brother Meng, I have something else to do, I'm afraid I can't accompany you, I will stay in this inn, you guys Wait for me, I invite you to dinner."

Meng Chengye took two steps forward with his hands behind his back and said, "There are more than two of us."

Gu Junci thought for a while, and tentatively said: "Brother Twelve... No, Brother Yan is coming too?"

Lu Qingxuan: "Well, here we are, brother Xu, and a new friend. He is very friendly and silly, and I will introduce you to him when the time comes. He has wanted to know you for a long time."

Gu Junci was a little surprised: "Really, I am so popular."

Meng Chengye said: "You are going to see the King of Linyang, we will drop by with you, and we are going there too, let's go, together."

Gu Junci couldn't resist Lu Qingxuan, so he had no choice but to go with them to the residence of King Linyang.

Xiao Yu, who came out of the inn, followed Xiao Yuan, his gaze stayed on the back of Meng Chengye and the others who walked away, and then looked sideways at Xiao Yuan:

"Second Brother, who is that next to Brother Junci? He seems to be very kind to Brother Junci."

Xiao Yuan's eyes were cold, and his heart was inexplicably unhappy, and his complexion turned ugly: "Aren't you going out to play, let's go."

Seeing Xiao Yuan striding forward, Xiao Yu hurriedly chased after him: "Second brother, why are you suddenly angry? Didn't brother Junci just say that he has something to do?"

Xiao Yuan ignored him, Xiao Yu continued:

"Since brother Junci is friends with them, meeting friends is also important. Why are you angry?"

Xiao Yuan still didn't answer him.

Finally, Xiao Yu couldn't help sighing: "Oh, second brother, I always feel like you are sulking because my second sister-in-law ran away with someone."

Xiao Yuan finally stared sideways at him, his eyes were a little frightening, and Xiao Yu immediately covered his mouth:

"Second brother, I was wrong, and I will never say it again."
