The rain fell until midnight and finally stopped slowly. During that night, Du Ruo learned from Lu Yang a lot of things that he had previously been unclear about in this world.

At noon, after the rain, the city of Gusu once again woke up from silence.

In the fleeting light, a breeze stirred up circles of ripples, and the one-page canopy boat slowly left the city, passing through various boats in the river. Occasionally, a distant song sounded, stirring up a strong feeling.

, or arouse the hidden melancholy in the hearts of passers-by.

Above the river, the canopy sailed away in the wind. The sound of the wind could be heard. At the stern of the boat was Lu Yang, who was carrying a broken halberd and holding an iron rod in his hand. He stood facing the wind. There were traces of blood on the iron rod. In the canopy, Meng Qing was lying flat in the middle.

, Gu’s mother and daughter were sitting next to them.

Hei Tou is also responsible for rocking the oar at the stern of the boat. There may be a few people from the Juyi Gang who are not good at water, but there are really very few who don't know how to ferry, and Hei Tou is the leader among them.

Just as Du Ruo expected, he hired some people, dressed up in disguise, and went out of the city in all directions, instantly scattering the pursuers. There were really only a few people who actually chased them, and they were all left behind.

Anyone who wanted to report the news was dealt with by Lu Yang.

Lu Yang's Fang Tian painted halberd was chopped off, but it seemed to complement each other somewhat. The two sections happened to be as tall as a human being, which was not as exaggerated as before.

Du Ruo held the book and leaned against the window, reading it very seriously.

Before, he was quite confident that he would be able to win the imperial examination, but when he learned about the existence of the academy from Lu Yang last night, he realized that he was already looking at the sky from a well. There is a saying in the art of war: Only by knowing oneself and the enemy can one be victorious in every battle. However, he had always ignored his opponent before.

They were all placed on scholars who came from the same wild background as him, and the real opponents were completely unknown.

In fact, he also knew about the existence of the academy before, but due to the limitations of his thinking and what he had seen, he did not realize what kind of existence the academy was. Only last night did he know that scholars in the world are like crucian carp crossing the river, how can they achieve anything?

Ninety percent of the people left the academy.

In his current capacity,

On martial arts, he became a monk halfway and had no background, so he was just a wild man. But, he never expected that the thesis was also a wild man.

However, while reading the book, he felt a little uneasy.

Not to mention that Meng Qingping was seriously injured now, even if Meng Qingping was not injured, now he alone would not be able to safely escort the Gu mother and daughter into the capital. If he didn't help, Meng Qingping would be in trouble.

But if he escorted Meng Qingping, he would not be able to come back in time to take the provincial examination.

Looking at the boats coming and going on the river, Du Ruo sighed deeply and quietly put away the book. After all, there is still a chance in the provincial examination, but it is just one more year to wait. However, if the brother disappears, there will really be no chance.

.

The tented boat went farther and farther along the river, and when it reached a branch, Blackhead suddenly walked into the cabin.

Without waiting for Black Tou, Du Ruo said directly: "Go to Yujiang."

Yujiang leads to the capital and passes through Sancai County.

When going to the capital, he naturally escorts Meng Qingping and others. When he passes by Sancai County, he naturally takes Lu Yang to Sancai County. After all, on the day he met Lu Yang, Du Ruo promised to send Lu Yang to Sancai County. If Meng Qingping hadn't happened,

, Lu Yang may have almost set off for Sancai County.

Heitou scratched the back of his head and turned around to go out, but was stopped by Meng Qingping, who said, "Why are you going to Yujiang? Boss Du, you are going to Jinling to take the provincial examination."

"Bang"

There was a slight noise outside the cabin, and Lu Yang walked in and said, "Shan Jiang, leave it to me to escort Brother Meng and the others to the capital. You can take the provincial examination well without being distracted."

"This..." Du Ruo said, "But, brother, are you going to Sancai County..."

Lu Yang waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter, I went to Sancai County to challenge. It's the same everywhere. I haven't been to the capital yet, so I just want to go to the capital to see it. The capital has the most masters in the world."

Du Ruo frowned and said, "Brother..."

"No need to say more," Lu Yang said directly: "Brother Heitou, go to Jinling, and then we will switch to the land route."

Blackhead looked at Du Ruo and asked.

Du Ruo hesitated for a moment, nodded and said: "Just listen to big brother!"

"That's right," Lu Yang said with a smile: "The best of both worlds, Brother Meng, what do you think?"

Meng Qingping leaned on the cabin, held his head in his hands, pursed his lips, and said: "It's okay. Boss Du is my brother, and Brother Lu is Boss Du's eldest brother. The three of us are brothers. I don't think there is any need to distinguish each other.

It doesn’t matter whoever’s thigh I hug, hehe!”

Both Lu Yang and Du Ruo couldn't help laughing.

"Well, speaking of which, I haven't been to the capital for many years. Brother Lu, this time I go to the capital. I will take you to experience the scenery of the most majestic city in the world..."

…………

In a quiet alley in Gusu City, Su Ruyu was sitting in front of the window writing. The maid Luli opened the door and came in and reported: "Miss, it failed. I just got the news that Meng Qingping and others have left Gusu City.

Now, I’m afraid it’s gone too far.”

The tip of the pen trembled slightly, and a smear suddenly appeared on the rice paper. Su Ruyu looked at the destroyed copybook, sighed softly, and said: "We have tried our best, and in the end, we can only look at Mr. Chen Guangyi and Chen.

"

Lu Li pouted and said with some displeasure: "Miss, the Nangong family is too unethical. They had already agreed to help, but they changed their minds before the battle. If they didn't evacuate, how could Meng Qingping and the others escape..."

"That's enough," Su Ruyu frowned and said, "Fairy Fuyao doesn't owe me any favors. Being able to let the Nangong family take action for a day already gives me a lot of face. Besides, the other person is a grandmaster, do you understand?"

"I understand," Luli said, "I just feel that since Fairy Fuyao is a master, she should not go back on her word..."

At this moment, a strong wind suddenly broke out in the small courtyard.

Lvli opened his mouth, but only half of what he said, and he didn't dare to speak anymore. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead, he swallowed his saliva, and looked in horror at the people who suddenly appeared in the yard outside the window - Fairy Fuyao and Nangong Amber.

Su Ruyu hurriedly came out, held the ceremony, and said: "I have seen Fairy Fuyao, and this girl Luli is ignorant and talks arrogantly. I..."

Nangong Hubo's face had no expression, and his eyes seemed blurry. He directly interrupted Su Ruyu's words without a trace of emotion and said: "This matter is because I can't help you. There is a cause and effect between you and me. Today I

I came here just to cut off the cause and effect."

Su Ruyu was confused and didn't know why.

Nangong Hubo raised his hand slightly, and at that moment, it seemed as if everything in the surrounding area gradually disappeared, leaving only a sword.

There are special lines in the hazy world, which are like the laws of heaven and earth, pulling the heaven and earth.

Countless runes were connected together, as if golden catkins were entangled and interspersed, violently tumbling, from the sky to the ground, and then into the clouds. There were dark clouds in the sky, and the sword broke through the clouds and came with thousands of meters of cloud threads, piercing the ground.

.

The speed of the sword was so fast that the main body could not be seen clearly. Only a stream of light could be seen without any hidden momentum, so Su Ruyu could see clearly that it was a sword!

Deep in the thick fog, there was a sound of tearing. It was as if countless pieces of rice paper were torn, the vitality of the world was in chaos, and the space was shattered.

Nangong Hubo's figure disappeared in an instant. She slashed out with her sword, shooting out runes one after another, and sword energy reaching the sky. She wanted to cut off the cause and effect, but she cut through the space. With one step of thousands of miles, the runes were filled with light, extremely brilliant, as if ignited by divine fire.

Light up the sky.

Su Ruyu didn't understand what cause and effect was, but she definitely felt that there was a faint resonance, and her heart was shaken. It seemed that in the long river of time, she should have had some intersection with Nangong Amber, but in this sword, she was

Cut off.

This sword stirred up the stormy waves, sweeping the wind, clouds, and rain. There was a roar in the sky, and it was surging for dozens of miles in radius. Mysterious runes were flowing, and waterfalls of the sound of the avenue fell down. Killed with one sword, and

It didn't destroy any trees and headed straight towards the sky.

The world was blurry and silent.

In the end, everything comes to nothing.

It was as if nothing had ever happened.

Su Ruyu was still in the small courtyard. She stood quietly, facing Nangong Hubo. There was no sword in her hand, and there were no runes flying in the sky. There was only the weak sunlight in the afternoon and the water on the ground that was not dry.

A trace of blood spilled from the corner of Nangong Hubo's mouth, her face was pale, she looked at Su Ruyu and said slightly: "The cause and effect between you and me has been broken."

"I know."

Su Ruyu nodded. Although she didn't understand the cause and effect, she had a vague feeling. However, she didn't understand why Nangong Amber risked serious injury to cut off the so-called cause and effect. Is it so important?

Even if Nangong Hubo doesn't admit it, she can't do anything about it.

Nangong Hubo didn't explain anything. He just turned around slowly and disappeared in the next moment. When he appeared again, he was already on a ship, which was heading to Shuixie Tingchao Pavilion.

A mouthful of blood spurted out and sprinkled on the floor. Nangong Hubo gasped deeply. He didn't even dare to perform exercises to heal his injuries. He said softly and dejectedly: "After all, it's too much. The way of cause and effect is the ultimate road. The price is really high. No wonder

...No wonder...she should be killed directly!"

No wonder?

No wonder many people would rather spend decades in order to repay karma, would rather be slaves for life, would rather live on a thin line between life and death. The reincarnation of karma is too difficult to cut off. A small karma almost caused the death of a master.

The power of cause and effect, the law of the great road,
