Night covers the Dentian Mountains.

Lin Xi and Gao Yanan climbed to a high post, wearing black cloaks, and watched Emperor Yun Qin's motorcade leave amid the falling ice crystals.

Most of Emperor Yunqin's entourage stayed at the foot of the mountains bordering the Four Seasons Plain and the Dengtian Mountains, so there were not many people in this convoy.

The dim yellow wind lamp on the carriage illuminated the dragon pattern on the carriage and wheels, but in the light wind and snow, it still showed its supreme majesty.

Gao Yanan did not greet Lin Xi in particular, but seeing Gao Yanan walking alone toward the uninhabited hill, Lin Xi followed him wisely.

Because after this life-and-death contest, he, Mu Qing, and Bian Linghan had already spoken to each other alone, Vice President Xia had also spoken to him, the eldest princess had also spoken to him, and even Wen Xuanyu had spoken to him alone.

However, Gao Yanan and he were the only ones who had not spoken alone.

"Senior Brother Su is not a bad person."

Looking at the young general in silver armor walking beside the carriage in the team, Lin Xi turned to look at Gao Yanan and said softly.

Gao Yanan habitually brushed away the black hair that was blown by the wind in front of his eyes, tucked it behind his ears, and said softly: "How can you see it?"

Lin Xi curled his lips secretly, thinking that this was nothing like falling in love, but thinking that it was still Gao Yanan who took the initiative this time, the corners of his mouth still turned up slightly, and he said: "If you are not really worried about me being in love with the emperor,

The eldest princess has left a bad impression in her heart, which will affect my future prospects. How could he be so anxious that he was sweating profusely just because I said a few more words."

Gao Yanan looked at him quietly and said, "You looked carefully."

Lin Xi looked at her beautiful face and red lips, and couldn't help but feel a little warm on her face: "No matter what happens in this competition, I still have a lot of insights, thinking that the method of sensing risks in subtle ways is still greater than that of Hua Jiyue."

On the contrary, now I am more patient and careful when looking at people and things."

"Since you can see why Senior Brother Su is worried about you, I don't understand." Gao Yanan suddenly frowned, glared at Lin Xi, and said, "You are obviously not keen on the official rank in the court on weekdays, why are you still today?

To ask so enthusiastically."

Lin Xi looked at Gao Yanan, at the ice crystals floating on her body, at the dark distant mountains in front of her, at the fleet of dimly lit wind lanterns, rolling over the shallow blood. To him, all of this meant

It was very artistic, like a perfect picture. The heat on his face gradually disappeared. He couldn't help but laugh when he thought of a calligraphy and painting hanging in his father's study in Lulin Town: "There are all kinds of idiots in life."

He stood up, looked at Gao Yanan's beautiful features seriously, and said softly: "I'm really not keen on these things... Just like now, I think you and the scenery in this mountain are much more beautiful than the so-called glory and wealth.

It is also much more practical. Vice President Xia once said to me that gold will always shine, and I agree with it. As long as our cultivation and strength are sufficient, the so-called glory and wealth is not a problem at all. I don’t care about this official rank

, so you don’t have to care about other people’s opinions.”

Gao Yanan glared at Lin Xi again and turned his head, but there was no angry expression on his face.

Lin Xi stood level with her, and then said with a smile: "It is precisely because I felt that during the competition, I was not as careful as Hua Jiyue in terms of observation, I am more careful now, and this time I discovered that these Zhongzhou guards, especially a few generals

, the attitudes towards us and you seem to be slightly different."

Gao Yanan's brows furrowed again: "Is there any?"

"Yes." Lin Xi nodded affirmatively and said, "I think even Senior Brother Su looks at you with a different kind of respect. In addition, you have been unwilling to tell your origin before, so I will

It occurred to me that you should come from a famous family in the Imperial City of Zhongzhou, and you should be of a very, very big background."

"But the rest of Jinshao don't know your origin, but the generals of the Zhongzhou Guard seem to know. In this case, there should be a very high official in the Zhongzhou Guard in your family."

Gao Yanan's body stiffened slightly and he did not turn around to look at him. After a moment, he lowered his head and said, "What does this have to do with you asking so many questions today?"

"Why doesn't it matter?" Lin Xi looked at Gao Yanan quietly and said confidently, "Even though I am a country bumpkin who is looked down upon by many students in the college, my parents in Lulin Town also let me study.

I have read a lot of books and learned a lot of truths in this world... This Yunqin is the one who pays the most attention to being well-matched. And the more famous families in the court, the more emphasis is placed on marriage and the like. If I can't reach a certain official rank, I'm afraid...

There’s nothing interesting about it. So of course I’ll ask about the official rank and things like that.”

"What are you talking about!"

Gao Yanan usually behaves indifferently in the academy, saying that everything has nothing to do with her and doesn't care about anything. But after all, she is also a girl who has just begun to have a love interest, and this Yunqin itself is different from the world before Lin Xi.

No matter how conservative he is, he doesn't know how pure he is. When he heard Lin Xi's bold words, Gao Yanan suddenly let out a cry of shame and anger, and his white face turned into red cloth.

Lin Xi had already accumulated the ability to return to ten stops at a time, so she was not worried. She just looked at her and said seriously: "What I said is absolutely true."

Gao Yanan stared at Lin Xi dumbfounded, wondering how someone in the world could be so shameless. After a moment of silence, she felt a little confused with embarrassment and said, "Who is the right match for you?"

"I didn't say it must be with you." Lin Xi chuckled.

"You... then you should go find Qin Xiyue, or Leng Qiu..." Gao Yanan turned pale with anger and pointed at Lin Xi. But when she said this, she suddenly felt something was wrong, and her face turned a little red again, and she froze.

After a moment, he stamped his feet: "Lin Xi, I knew you were thick-skinned, but I never thought you could be so thick-skinned."

"There are three major elements for chasing girls in our place: boldness, carefulness, and thick skin. One of them is indispensable." Lin Xi smiled and held Gao Yanan's hand, which was as gentle as jade.

"ah!"

In the next breath, Lin Xi let out a depressed scream and was knocked out.

"go back!"

Lin Xi, who tried out that this world was much more conservative and pure than the one she was familiar with, was afraid that it would affect her perception of Gao Yanan, so she could only go back to the time before the ten-stop period and start all over again.

Even holding hands doesn't work...it's a waste of energy that could be used for practice.

Lin Xi felt slightly depressed, but the warm and jade-like feeling lingered on her fingertips, which was very comfortable.

…

"Lin Xi, I knew you were thick-skinned, but I never thought you could be so thick-skinned."

"Okay, I'm thick-skinned, so let's not talk about this." Because she had tested Gao Yanan's bottom line, Lin Xi changed the subject again and said: "Yanan, you came here alone with me, you should have something else to say.

Let’s talk.”

Gao Yanan glared at Lin Xi again, took a deep breath, calmed down slightly, and said, "I just wanted to ask you why the eldest princess came to see you in person."

Lin Xi said slightly: "Did you know that the eldest princess came to see me?"

Gao Yanan nodded: "I happened to see it."

"Actually, it's nothing." Lin Xi looked at Gao Yanan and smiled bitterly, and said, "Because she was the one who recommended me to participate in the Qingluan Academy exam."

"What?" Gao Yanan was surprised and looked at Lin Xi in disbelief, "Were you recommended by her?"

Lin Xi nodded honestly and said softly: "I think she wants to say that I can be regarded as hers."

…

…

After passing through the Four Seasons Plain, the climate becomes warmer as you go south.

It was early summer, and the scenery around the emperor's motorcade returning from the northern tour seemed particularly vivid and rich.

Because they were tired when they came, and the return trip was not in a hurry, and they had just left the Four Seasons Plain, it was definitely still within the control of Qingluan Academy, so all the entourage, including the Zhongzhou guards who protected the emperor and several

The imperial city worship practitioners who were hidden in the carriages were very at ease and relaxed.

Most of the officials in the carriage who were only responsible for daily life and other ordinary matters were resting with their eyes closed.

However, at this moment, a shrill arrow pierced the sky.

The five of them were about five miles away from the emperor's motorcade. The vanguard Zhongzhou Guards who were accustomed to scouting in front heard the sound of arrows fired by the spies in front. They only felt a chill in their hearts. Just after "clang...cang" they each pulled out their weapons.

At the same time, several horses were already galloping ahead.

All the guards and practitioners in the emperor's motorcade formed a formation in an instant, surrounding the motorcade in the middle.

Several horses still did not stop, running wildly at an astonishing speed.

There is only one rider on several horses. From his current position, the banner representing the emperor's power can already be seen, but his approach is even more urgent.

Here, someone dared to collide with the emperor's motorcade and offend the emperor's majesty!

Even in a carriage that had never opened its curtain, there was a slight movement. A hand belonging to a cultivator in the Imperial City stretched out.

"end!"

Dozens of archers wearing silver armor all let out a loud shout. The strong bows in their hands were drawn to full circle in an instant, and the arrows were aimed at the rider. The next moment, a shower of arrows was about to fall.

"Report!"

However, at this moment, the rider shouted loudly, and a red dragon-embroidered flag appeared in his hand.

Originally, from the time the arrow sounded to this moment, Emperor Yunqin was still closing his eyes and recuperating, while the eldest princess and eldest grandson Mu Yue was still reading quietly. Both of them were absolutely confident that unless those powerful men from Qingluan Academy wanted to destroy the emperor,

Otherwise, nothing would happen to them. However, after hearing this announcement, Emperor Yunqin and the eldest princess both changed their faces slightly.

Emperor Yun Qin opened his eyes and stepped out of the stopped large carriage.

The crimson embroidered dragon banner and the purple lacquer-sealed document held high in the rider's hand, with the tail end intentionally burned, instantly filled his face with a thick layer of haze.

"boom!"

The two black horses suddenly foamed at the mouth and fell heavily to the ground at the same time.

He jumped on another horse and galloped over again.

Su Longshu and several higher-ranking Zhongzhou Guard generals could not help but tremble slightly, and their hearts were extremely shocked... What earth-shattering event had happened, which required the use of the level of Red Dragon Jiaowei!
