The Philosopher's Dandy Dream

The days of waiting for the news are undoubtedly difficult.

It's very frustrating.

Liu Duxing suppressed the boredom in his heart, and flipped through the book in his hand, who knows how many times.

"Master! Master! Master!" When the boy's figure suddenly appeared in Liu Duxing's field of vision, Liu Duxing was startled into a cold sweat, and then became a little angry. "What are you shouting for? If you fail, don't sue me."

"I got it! I got it!" The boy was so happy that Liu Duxing was in a daze, and the book he was holding fell to the ground.

"Ah?" asked confirmingly, and got a positive reply from the servant.

Liu Duxing was stunned immediately.

It came so suddenly!suddenly!

It's like a snowstorm in June, so suddenly that I can't believe it's real!

"Master! Don't be dumbfounded! The people outside who announce the good news are already waiting!"

"That……"

"go quickly!"

In a daze, he followed the servant out of the Luo Mansion, and Liu Duxing regained his composure.

Great surprise followed by great joy.

After ten years of sharpening the sword, I have never tried the frost blade. I thought it was a peerless sword, but it turned out to be a basin of cold water!How do people who fail to pass the examination as scholars pass the examination?

Liu Duxing didn't want to think about it, and he didn't dare to think about it.luck?ability and insight?Or a blind cat ran into a dead mouse, or even Master Luo used money again...

But these are not important anymore!

I finally crawled out from the crowd!climb out!

Liu Duxing's mind was muddled.

Seeing the lights and festoons starting to hang on the gate of the mansion, Liu Duxing seemed to be stung by something.

What exactly are you doing?

Didn't I just want to assist the king?Isn't it one step closer to what you want now?Why do I feel a void?

Knowing that he is going to Beijing, isn't this a wonderful thing?

The last time I went to Beijing for the exam, I was in a hurry, and I didn't think about these things.

What about after he was elected?

Is it slowly climbing up as a petty official?

Liu Duxing thought of Mr. Luo inexplicably.

Will I become that kind of person in the future?

Isn't that deceiving yourself?

Will I eventually become the kind of person I hate?

Sophisticated?

Follow the trend?

Hungry for power?

Liu Duxing secretly felt his heart attack, and the expression on his face stiffened a little.

But no one around will pay attention to these.The butler of Luo Mansion happily gave money to those who announced the good news, and Master Luo also stood at the door with a happy face to welcome the guests.

Liu Duxing felt that he was out of tune with the world around him.

I seem to have put in a lot of hard work for the imperial examination, but when the result came, even when I was seeking benevolence, I was not as happy as I thought.

Liu Duxing panicked for a moment, as if it was not so important to assist the king in a moment.

How ordinary are you?I was far from being as shocking as I imagined.

In terms of talent and learning, he seems to be better than the corrupt official standing beside him?

It seems that the candidates who refer to themselves will not be too far away from themselves.

Thinking about it, Liu Duxing even thought that maybe Zhuo Ran in his youth was a phantom constructed for him by his father and Jingzhong himself, and he lived in it for many years.

You think you are right.

I think I am the most loyal.

Think you are the strongest.

Perhaps a monarch does not need his own assistance?

Liu Duxing watched Lord Luo's mouth open and close standing in front of him, inexplicably feeling a little funny.

It seems that at this time last year, I was still racking my brains to find a way to get Mr. Luo to allow me to take the imperial examination?

He lowered his head and bit the name card handed over by others.

Liu Duxing pushed it away, and walked towards the moat without looking back.

……

Standing beside the moat, a big river winds around Yanzhou City.

Bricks one by one, weathered the baptism of wind and frost, are still firmly laid on the loess.

Looking up at the soldiers standing on the top of the city wall, the sharp blades in their hands are faintly frightening.

Liu Duxing lowered his head and looked at his own face reflected in the lake.

Very upright.

The frivolousness of the earlier years is less.

A little more restrained.

It seems to be a bit like Shenyan?

Caution?

When I was in Beijing, I always felt that this elder brother was submissive, unable to stand up to things, could not distinguish between good and evil, and reversed black and white, but he loved to pester him.Yes, pester him.It's the kind of day-to-day absence that makes you think like crazy.

Maybe it's just that weird.

I like to hang around a person who I can't get used to no matter from that angle.

Liu Duxing flew out a stone slab and immediately drew patterns one after another on the water.

Maybe I don't hate it?

Want to protect someone who has always protected themselves?

Liu Duxing was startled and broke out in a cold sweat.

Do you...

Thinking of those in the barracks...

Liu Duxing became short of breath.

Could it be that the past is not the brothers and sisters I imagined?Or, brothers and sisters are just a reason to deceive themselves to enjoy the care of one person...

Thinking of Liu Shenyan forcing himself to review the book, his face was joking, but his warmth was hard to hide...

Liu Duxing's breathing became more rapid, and he even couldn't help but think that Liu Shenyan didn't care about life and death when he ran behind his back in the alley...

Before Liu Duxing came back to his senses, Liu Duxing saw groups of soldiers stepping into Yanzhou City from the bridge over the moat.

The neat steps, the hard armor, and the sharp edges on the weapons.

Looking at the leading general on a tall horse, Liu Duxing couldn't help but look forward to it.

It was as if the blood was ignited in an instant!

In an instant, Liu Duxing felt that he was about to come back to life!

The heart is beating fiercely!

He's going back to Kyoto!

Back to the haunted capital of Liu Shenyan!

He wants to help the monarch, get rid of traitors inside, and punish the enemy outside!

Liu Duxing clenched his hands tightly!

The eyes seemed to be reinjected with ambition, glowing with an indescribable look.

Let's go back to Luofu!

Liu Duxing said to himself in his heart, everything will start again from that starting point!

……

start over?

The world laughed at Liu Duxing's innocence.

The moment Liu Du walked to the gate of Luo Mansion, a group of military officers immediately tied him up and threw him into prison.

"Hey! Boy, what crime have you committed?" Upon entering the prison, a big man in the prison gave Liu Duxing a slap in the face, as if the unexpected visitor in the prison came at an inopportune time.

"Not guilty!" Liu Duxing was listless. On the way here, he knew that Master Luo had made the mistake.

The big man couldn't believe it, and there was a bit of contempt in his eyes, "Then why did you get thrown into this big prison?"

"It's not nice to meet people." Liu Duxing found a place against the wall, and leaned against it.

"Hehehehe, he looks like a rich man, but don't come out to give money to others." The big man took a sip of the wine on the table.

"..." Liu Duxing put his arms around his belly and closed his eyes.

Seeing that Liu Duxing didn't speak, the big man was a little unhappy, "Hey! Don't ignore me! I'm going to die, so you can talk to me!"

"Ok?"

"It seems that you don't know that this is a death row, do you? Look, there are only two people in each room, and the one in this room was only dragged down yesterday."

"……why?"

"It is said that a high-ranking official from the capital is here, so he can see clearly."

"Ok?"

"This Yu Dynasty's criminal law is very severe!"

"Ok?"

"Murder is the same crime as theft!"

"You boy, it looks like you have never been poor. Any theft, whether it is a needle and thread or ten thousand taels of silver, is the death penalty!"

"Is there any difference between stealing a needle and thread and stealing silver ten thousand taels? Aren't they both stealing?"

"Hehehe! Don't even think about it. What's the use of stealing one? At most, you can take it back and ask your mother-in-law to mend the quilt. Stealing ten thousand taels of silver is not the same. Maybe donating to an official will honor your ancestors!"

"...What does this have to do with murder?"

"Murder is the same crime as theft, so why not kill and steal?"

"..."

"Think about it! Anyway, it's just death. Killing people is not a one-time transaction, and you can prevent being traced by the government! You can also collect more money."

"How is this?"

"Oh! It's all because of my bad luck! If I run faster and take some silver to Kuxian County, the government will not be able to do anything to me!"

"...But, weren't you caught?"

"Yeah! But my brother could have redeemed me! It's all the fault of that damned official!"

"Then, if you are locked up here, God has eyes!"

"How do you talk, kid!"

"A person who has committed a heinous crime, what is his guilt in death?"

"Oh! Then according to your method, the one who was dragged down yesterday, didn't he die unjustly?"

"Ok?"

"That kid is a doctor, he thinks of hanging the pot to help the world every day, and his family is rich... As a result, guess what?"

"How come?"

"Oh, I couldn't stand the begging of a little beggar on the street, so I went to see a doctor for his mother in a ruined temple, but the doctor didn't get better, so the little beggar's mother went..."

"Then?"

"This kid was thrown into prison..."

"..."

"This case is also judged..."

"Hehehe! But the people applauded!"

"Why is this?"

"unseen"

"Hey, what are you doing? Didn't you say it's tomorrow?"

"The boss says it's time!"

"This……"

"Hey, hey..."

Seeing the big man being dragged out, Liu Duxing thought that such a day might not be far away.

dying?

dying?

Is this the first time I'm going to die?

Maybe I am really going to die this time...

The anger gathered in the past few days seems to have not dissipated yet.

I really don't want to die now!

Don't want to die!

But it seems that it is useless to think about it.

The qualification prison is very heavily guarded, and I reckon that it is difficult to escape even if I have wings.

Liu Duxing looked at the dim candlelight, the thatched grass on the ground, and the remaining porcelain bowl for drinking by the big man on the table, and then touched the earthen wall.

Liu Duxing laughed three times, threw the porcelain bowl to the ground, picked up a large broken corner of the porcelain shard, and raised his hand to carve his name on the wall.

Liu Duxing.Liu Duxing.Liu Duxing.Liu Duxing.Liu Duxing.Liu Duxing.Liu Duxing.Liu Duxing...

Over and over again, the outline of the characters gradually began to blur in Liu Duxing's eyes.

Do it... do it...

Liu Duxing seems to have seen Liu Xiao's fatherly heart when he named himself this name, and he also seems to have seen Liu Shenyan's lips opening and closing, calling him to do it, Xiaoxing...

Tired of writing, Liu Duxing slowed down for a while, and began to carve Luo Ji on the wall again, and after engraving, he changed back to Liu Duxing, and then there was no more Liu, nor Luo.

Don't do it.

Don't do it.

Be jealous.

The order of several words was arranged in a chaotic manner until dawn.

dawn?

The oil also burned out.

Liu Duxing let the guards pull him out of the prison and sent him to the prison van, leaving only a wall of words.

Standing on the prison van, Liu Duxing felt as if his life was floating like a dream.

The onlookers threw some rotten fruits and vegetables, shouting that the son of a corrupt official should be punished by fate.

You obviously haven't done anything, have you?

Didn't I ever think about helping the monarch govern these people?

Now, are these people going to watch themselves be executed?

How can you be so ignorant and ignorant?

Don't they know that he is the young master of Luofu who just passed the exam?

People in the world are really cold by nature...
