What is good, these masters are the vigilant generations, protects oneself well, has not suffered the tragedy. After looking at the master, he delivered many paper money respectively, then goes to Zheng Family. 他看了城内后,又一一去之前习武过的师傅家中拜访。还好的是,这些师傅都是机警之辈,自我保护得不错,没有遭受惨剧。看完师傅后,他各自送了不少银票,便又去郑家。 . 啪。 Zheng Xiangui numerous clapping. 郑显贵重重的一拍手。 „Brother Sheng, I also with you together!

That fire so will not be flagrant. “好！”郑显贵点头。两人其实心头都明白,这趟九连城之事后,两家人其实心里都有了搬迁的打算,若是换成一个大城,那些江湖人也不敢这么猖獗。那场大火也不会这么明目张胆。 Comes out from Zheng Family, Lu Sheng then starts Xiao Qiao/dainty to pack the thing, this he goes out to study, Eastern Mountain Institute is in Border Mountain City and even nearby many cities the extremely famous graduate school, the institute gauge is strict, all scholars do not permit the belt/bring maidservant maidservant, therefore Xiao Qiao/dainty can only keep Nine Connections City temporarily. 从郑家出来,路胜便开始着小巧收拾东西,这趟他出去求学,东山学院是沿山城乃至附近很多城里都极其有名的大学院,院规较严,所有学子是不允许带丫鬟侍女的,所以小巧只能暂时留在九连城。 After preparing one hurriedly, the Lu Quan'an stopper 12,000 gold banknotes hold to Lu Sheng, then let him and officers team that prepared to embark has gone out of town together. 匆忙准备了一番后,路全安塞了一万两金票给路胜揣着,便让他和已经准备出发的官兵队伍一起出城了。 Lu Sheng just before leaving, but also heard indistinctly, Nine Connections City Prefecture Governor Song Duanchi, as if in the days before sudden foul disease, fell ill, now soon died. 只是路胜临走时,还隐隐约约听说,九连城知府宋端尺,似乎在前几日突发恶疾,一病不起,现在快要断气了。 He associated to former Pear Mansion has large explosion, guessed correctly at heart, might be is brought disaster to the mackerel shad by this matter. This Song Prefecture Governor, actually was also a poor man ..... 他联想到之前珍珠府发生大爆炸一事,心里也猜到,极有可能是受这件事殃及池鱼。这宋知府,其实也是个可怜人..... When embarking is very early in the morning, the sky is slightly bright. 出发时是一大早,天微微亮。 Lu Sheng stands in the team, looks pale, the body is binding the thick white fox wool coat, as if an entire white fox fur coat wraps up his whole person is the same, very warm noble air. Light fox wool coat, then must consume over a thousand two Yinzi/silver. 路胜站在队伍中,面色苍白,身上裹着厚厚的白色狐毛大衣,仿佛一整条白色狐裘将他整个人都包住一样,很是暖和贵气。光这一条狐毛大衣,便要耗费上千两银子。 He calmly is looking at behind Nine Connections City, after this place perhaps, he will not come back, father Lu Quan'an already before leaving, explicit said to him, wants entire family to move to the big city. 他静静望着身后的九连城,这地方或许以后他不会回来了,老爹路全安已经在临走前,明确的给他说了,要全家搬迁到大城。 „Brother Sheng? What's wrong?” Zheng Xiangui brings cheeks ruddy Zheng Yu'er, stands in the one side. “胜哥？怎么了？”郑显贵带着脸颊红扑扑的郑宇儿,站在一旁。 „No, is only some feelings .... keke...” Lu Sheng started to cough, his practiced Black Fiend Art, injuring the body lung was positive, in addition the nourishing yin cool medicinal herb ate a lot, then somewhat. “没什么,只是有些感触....咳咳...”路胜又开始咳嗽了,他这趟是强练黑煞功,伤到了身子肺阳,加上滋阴凉性的药材吃得多了,便有些受不住。 „First returns to the carriage, we prepared to start off, Young Master Sheng.” This leading officers team Elder ox Guolai said the sentence. “还是先回马车吧,我们准备上路了,胜公子。”这趟带队的官兵队长老牛过来道了句。 Lu Sheng nods, finally looked at Nine Connections City, he has turned around, takes the lead a carriage. 路胜点点头,最后再看了眼九连城,他转过身,率先上了一辆马车。 „Walks walks!

The innumerable red slightly spent tied, tied fresh, covered entirely red the ground tree on. 春意盎然,沿山城外大片的迎春树渐渐变成了火烧云一样的红色。无数的红色小花掉了又结,结了又生,将地上树上都布满了红。 And a city south small riverbank, in a white octagonal pavilion, is sitting several wear clean dignified school students. 其中城南的一处小河边,一白色八角亭中,正坐着几个穿着干净体面的学院书生。 These student clothing grayish white long dresses, the long hair uses the black turban to be, folding fan that in the hand takes the similar standard appearance. 这些书生一个个穿戴灰白长衣,长发都用黑巾系着,手里一个个拿着同样制式模样的折扇。 „Brother Lu? Brother Lu??” “路兄？路兄？？” A slightly friendly sound, from being distracted pulls back Lu Sheng. 一个略微热情的声音,把路胜从走神中拉了回来。 He has turned head, takes back looks to all over the line of sight of jasminum nudiflorum, looked at several people of in the pavilion. 他回过头,收回看向漫山遍野迎春花的视线,看了看身边凉亭里的几人。 Called his person to call Song Zhenguo, same came to study from the Northern Land city with him, in this others rich and populous, since childhood made merry every kind is skilled , the look was also simultaneously long quite good-looking, often the organization has a common goal the person, the coming out picnic. 叫他的那人叫宋振国,和他一样是从北地城池前来求学的,这人家中富庶,从小吃喝玩乐样样精通,同时相貌也长得颇为俊俏,经常组织志同道合之人,出来郊游。 Song Zhenguo is Zheng Xiangui introduced that Lu Sheng understanding, the person present also mostly is a fellow villager, many school student who comes out from the north city, this journey plays, naturally also gathers together sticks together. 宋振国是郑显贵介绍路胜认识的,在座的人也大多都是同乡,多是从北方城池出来的学院学生,此次出行游玩,自然也聚在一起抱团。 „Brother Song, excuses me, excuses me, for a while is distracted.” Lu Sheng smiles. “宋兄,见谅,见谅,一时走神。”路胜笑了笑。 Since previous time sends off the Yan Kai three people, has by the present six months. 自从上次送走颜开三人,到现在已经有半年时间了。 In six months, he arrives at Border Mountain City from Nine Connections City, catches up, lived here for several months, has not experienced any unusual matter again. 半年里,他从九连城来到沿山城,一路赶来,又在这里生活了好几月,都没有再遇到过任何不同寻常之事。 The Border Mountain City public security is excellent, has the Feilian Army all-weather changing shifts patrol, the surrounding area ten several li (0.5 km), sufficiently law and order prevail. Contrasts with Nine Connections City, simply is one heaven one earth. 沿山城的治安极好,有飞廉军全天候换班巡逻,方圆十数里,足以夜不闭户。和九连城对比起来,简直就是一个天一个地。 Here does not have the disaster, without monster ghost, even the deceased person case are not many, the civilian attire that in the city outside the city walks is also complete, rather than looks like Nine Connections City in rags there. 这里没有祸事,没有妖鬼,甚至连死人案件也不多,城中城外行走的平民也都衣着齐全,而不是像九连城那里衣不蔽体。 He came to here shortly, then to find Eastern Mountain Institute with the Zheng Xiangui brother and sister, handled the admission procedure, then enters a school again now, has three months. 他来这里没多久,便和郑显贵兄妹找到了东山学院,办了入学手续,再然后入学到现在,已经有三个月了。 In these three months, before Lu Sheng with great difficulty reluctantly , to promote the wound that Black Fiend Art receives to make up, the body recovers gradually. 这三个月里,路胜好不容易才勉强将之前提升黑煞功受的伤弥补回来,身体渐渐痊愈。 Recovers, Lu Sheng looked at several people in alcove. 回过神来,路胜看了看亭子里的几人。 These school students are playing a game of similar wine-cup floating. 这些学院学生正在玩一种类似曲水流觞的游戏。 Installs to fill a wine cup the wine glass, making the servant put from alcove end mountain stream, then the students are waiting in the pavilion, looked that the wine glass washed out to flutter slightly by the mountain stream, stops before whom, who then must drink this glass of liquor, and replied personal issue that everyone decides. 把酒杯装满酒,让仆役从亭子一端的溪水放下去,然后众学生在凉亭内等着,看酒杯被溪水微微冲刷飘过来,停在谁面前,谁便必须喝下这杯酒,并且回答一个大家决定的私人问题。 in the pavilion, except Song Zhenguo outside, 56 students, is the businessman juniors. Another two females, wear the white skirt blue skirt, sits looks at the people to play in the one side, hears interesting, often also covers the mouth chuckle. 凉亭里,除开宋振国外,还有五六个学生,都是商贾子弟。另外有两名女子,穿着白裙蓝裙,坐在一旁看着众人玩,听到有趣的,不时也掩嘴轻笑。 In two females has one person is also their fellow villagers, the appearance is beautiful. 两名女子中有一人也是他们同乡,模样秀丽。 Another appearance family treasure, the young girl of cherry small mouth, called Chen Yunxi, was actually the Border Mountain City native. 另一位模样小家碧玉,樱桃小嘴的少女,叫陈芸熙,却是沿山城本地人。 The Chen Yunxi appearance can be straight, although she does not have in the school many female student attractive cheeks, but the skin is fair, the stature ranks among the best, the long leg slender waist is especially striking. 陈芸熙长相算得上端正,她虽然没有学院中不少女生漂亮的脸蛋,但皮肤白皙,身材数一数二,长腿细腰尤其醒目。 But such condition, can only be ordinary to the person of this way of the world. But from the Lu Sheng perspective, Chen Yunxi can be the standard great beauty. Especially a pair of slender jade leg, symmetrical compact, the outline is exceptionally perfect. 但这样的条件,对这个世道的人来说只能算一般。而从路胜的角度来看,陈芸熙算得上标准的大美人。特别是一双修长玉腿,匀称紧致,轮廓异常完美。 What a pity .... Here person unhappy long leg, but likes the stature delicate and exquisite type, especially the leg cannot be too long. 可惜....这里的人都不喜长腿,而更喜欢身材娇小玲珑的类型,尤其腿不能太长。 Therefore Chen Yunxi this kind of big beautiful woman in Lu Sheng eye, then became here person unable to have a liking for under posture. 于是陈芸熙这类在路胜眼中的大美女,便成了这里的人不怎么看得上的中下之姿。 Thinks of here, Lu Sheng notices line of sight unconscious falling of Chen Yunxi on oneself. His heart cannot help but smiles bitterly. 想到这里,路胜注意到陈芸熙的视线又不知不觉的落在自己身上。他心头不由得苦笑一声。 He was only and opposite party chatted slightly several times, because had recommending of Song Zhenguo. Without thinking such a chatted, but also accidental/surprised and this female hit it off well with one another, two people topic was unceasing, then became the opposite sex good friend quickly. What a pity does not last forever, how does not know, Chen Yunxi looked that his line of sight was gradually different, had some not right flavor. 他只是和对方稍微闲聊了几次,还是因为有宋振国的引荐。没想到这么一聊,还意外的和这女子投缘,两人话题不断,很快便成了异性好友。可惜好景不长,不知怎么的,陈芸熙看他的视线渐渐不同了,其中带了一些不对劲的味道。 Vision unceasing falling of Chen Yunxi on Lu Sheng, the brilliance in eye, no matter what who can see. 陈芸熙的目光不断的落在路胜身上,眼里的光彩,任谁都看得出。 „Brother Lu, the eye of Yunxi may always hang on you.” A student at the same time teased. “路兄,芸熙的眼睛可总是挂在你身上啊。”一边的一个学生打趣道。 „Beautiful woman looks upon with favor, everyone said that should should punish one cup!” Another person creates a disturbance. “佳人垂青,大家说是不是应该该罚一杯！”另一人起哄。 „Miss Yunxi person Maxim is friendly, family property great wealth, father, but the multimillionaires in Border Mountain City and even nearby ten number cities, Brother Lu , if not hurry to seize the opportunity, feared that must miss the good opportunity!” Song Zhenguo near the ear on the road said low voice. “芸熙姑娘人美心善,家财万贯,父亲可是沿山城乃至附近十数城的巨富,路兄若不赶紧抓住机会,怕是要失良机啊！”宋振国小声在路上耳边道。 Lu Sheng shakes the head, under creating a disturbance of people, takes up one glass of liquor from the mountain stream, tosses down. 路胜摇摇头,在众人的起哄下,从溪水中拿起一杯酒,一饮而尽。 Drinks up him to shine cup of bottoms toward the people. 喝完他朝众人亮了亮杯底。 He acts natural, the look is not bad, in addition is different from other students, the stature is vigorous and healthy, because martial skill excels, internal and external cultivation, in the eye is divine light is deeper, sees then can be impressive. 他动作潇洒,相貌不差,加上和其他学员不同,身材健壮匀称,因为武艺高强,内外兼修,眼中更是神光湛然,一见便能让人印象深刻。 Therefore although he is the Nine Connections City border region small town comes out like that family background compared with many Northern Land city present in big rich, the makings appearance is actually most conspicuous one. 所以他虽然是九连城那般边陲小城出来,家世比不过在座的不少北地城池里的大富,气质神采却是最显眼的一个。 Under the people one create a disturbance, in adding fuel to the flames of Song Zhenguo, Lu Sheng was then arranged and Chen Yunxi quickly sits together. 众人一番起哄之下,在宋振国的推波助澜里,路胜很快便被安排和陈芸熙坐在一起。 The females of this way of the world are open, so long as is not such as Duanmu Wan that type extremely exposes, everyone has no unusual vision. 这个世道的女子多是开放,只要不是如端木婉那种太过暴露的,大家都没什么异样目光。 Chen Yunxi said with the good friend female low voice several, sit a while, quick was then being instigated by the people, had/left the pavilion with Lu Sheng by ‚catching up’ together. 陈芸熙小声和好友女子说了几句,才坐一会儿,很快便被众人怂恿着,和路胜一起被‘赶’出了凉亭。 Two people are taking a walk on nearby lawn slowly, had some living alone spaces. 两人慢慢在附近的草地上散着步,有了一些独处空间。 In the morning, fine spring day, jasminum nudiflorum all over dyed magnificent Red Cloud the entire mountain ridge. 清晨时分,鸟语花香,漫山遍野的迎春花将整个山岭都染成了瑰丽的红云。 „They .... Always likes deliberately creating trouble.” A Chen Yunxi big eye does not conceal looks at Lu Sheng. They ‚were caught up’ like this for the first time are not. “他们....总是这么爱胡闹。”陈芸熙一双大眼睛毫不掩饰的看着路胜。他们这样被‘赶出来’已经不是第一次了。 Two people stroll on the verdant light green lawn, crosses a small hill, then often looked at the people the line of sight of blocks from. 两人漫步在青翠嫩绿的草地上,越过一个小丘陵,便将众人不时看过来的视线遮住。 Lu Sheng looks at Chen Yunxi, she wore pure white even/including Shenqun, the skirt suspended only blocks from the thigh, revealed the knee, the calf that but also with long boots, will reveal covered up. The waist is lithe, the chest front is bulging, the both legs are slender, the long hair and waist, see then can make him associate to have what harvest moon and michelia alba clearly, and so on words and expressions. 路胜看着身边的陈芸熙,她穿了一件纯白色的连身裙,裙摆只遮住大腿,露出膝盖,还用一双长长的靴子,将露出来的小腿遮掩住。腰身轻盈,胸前鼓囊,双腿修长,长发及腰,一见便能让他联想起什么秋月、白兰、清纯之类的词语。 „They are also a good intention.” Lu Sheng smiles. He is not the hypocrite, does not maintain one's composure, has the beautiful girl actively to pursue, oneself do not have the marriage. He has not conflicted the thoughts, is holding the thought of allowing nature to take its course. “他们也是一片好意。”路胜笑了笑。他不是什么伪君子,也不是坐怀不乱,有漂亮女孩主动追求,自己本身也没有婚嫁。他也没抵触心思,便抱着顺其自然的念头。 Especially at present this girl obviously best place is a long leg, in the person eyes here actually became the worst place. Thinks that here he then somewhat regretted. 特别是眼前这女孩明明最好的地方是长腿,在这里的人眼里却成了最差的地方。想到这里他便有些惋惜。
