Before the residual heat of late summer dissipated, the cool breeze of early autumn rushed through the streets and alleys of the capital, seeming to compete with the summer heat, completely ignoring the suffering of the people.

In the middle of the day, the coolness of the autumn wind was even stronger. The farmers pushing carts and carrying firewood on the road, the street vendors and the aimless pedestrians shrank their necks in unison, struggling for their livelihood.

"Selling sugar cakes ~ selling sugar cakes ~ sugar cakes ~"

The candy owner's cries on Suzaku Street became weaker and weaker, his eyelids seemed to be fighting, his eyes were dull and lifeless, and he stubbornly refused to meet Zhou Gong.

Suddenly, a rush of horseshoes came from far and near, which instantly woke up the sugar cake boss. He woke up completely from the daze, and his eyes looked at the sound.

From afar, at the end of the long street, a horse with a red mane is flying, stirring up a layer of fine ash. The man on the horse is dressed in black, with black hair flying around. It is too far away to see his face clearly, but he can see the hand holding the rein, andAs the figure got closer, it could be seen that he was a young man with broad shoulders and thin waist, full of vigor.

"Woo~"

The hooves of the horses were hanging in the air, and the horsemen reined in at the street entrance. The sound of the horses' crowing overwhelmed the noise of the crowd, and also the sound of the horsemen's reining in the horses. Everyone looked sideways and were amazed.

I saw the man on horseback with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, bright eyes and bright teeth, the heroic spirit between his brows was like that of a vigorous young general, and his unrestrained and indifferent behavior was like that of a young and famous knight.

After calming the startled horse, the young man looked at the crowd with smiling eyes, as if expressing his apology for the disturbance, then got off the horse neatly, held the rein in his slender hand and entered Suzaku Street.

The young man is dressed in narrow sleeves and has a slender figure. His eyes are hotter than the scorching sun. The corners of his mouth are slightly raised.The son of a wealthy family.

Under the scorching gaze, Xiang Changyuan returned to the capital just like this, and walked half of Suzaku Street amidst people's discussions in the season when summer was not over and autumn was coming.

"Looking at the sword on his horseback, he should be a martial artist, right?"

"It should be, which family's little general does he look like?"

Xiang Changyuan has always had excellent hearing, so he paid more attention when he heard interesting words, and led the horse to stop in front of the candy cake stand, unexpectedly the candy cake boss was stunned.

Someone answered and said, "Whoever he belongs to, he is guaranteed not to have half the prestige of Xu Shizi."

The other person responded to his words with a brisk tone, "That's not true, Xu Shizi is an invincible opponent in the capital, the 'number one general' in the capital!"

The two of them laughed together, and the people beside them couldn't stop laughing wildly, they were all talking about how powerful Xu Shizi was, counting his great achievements, and when he listened carefully, even Wei Wei, who once used one enemy to a hundred to protect the safety of the people in a countyThe generals were all defeated by him, and the admiration in his heart was born spontaneously.

He took out a few copper coins from his belt, waved them in front of the sugar cake boss to bring him back to his senses, bought some sugar cakes, and changed his way to visit the "No. 1 general in Beijing" Xu Shizi.

He left home to travel at the age of eight, and he has been away from Beijing for dozens of years. The capital is prosperous, full of talents, and there are countless talents in literature and military affairs. He is very curious about this "No. 1 military general in Beijing", and he must pay a good visit.

He went to the Marquis of Xuanping's mansion with ease. He had just arrived and hadn't prepared to pay a visit. He thought that he would need to talk a lot before paying a visit, so he clutched a candy cake and thought about saying something.

I don't want the servants of Xuanpinghou's mansion to hear that he is paying a visit to Xu Shizi, and look at him meaningfully, with a very puzzled look in their eyes, looking at him like a madman, but they still invite him into the mansion.

Xu Shizi's courtyard is spacious and grand, with carved railings and jade buildings, Qionglouyuyu, small mountains and streams, verdant vegetation, pineapple trees towering to cover the sun, there is a stone table in the shade, and there is a rocking chair beside it. On the chair is a white puppy sleeping soundly., very comfortable.

Xiang Changyuan has been traveling all over the world for the past few years, and it is the first time he has seen such an exquisite courtyard, especially the courtyard of a military general who is the "No. 1 general in Beijing".

The servant took a few steps forward and reported towards the open room, "My lord, I have a guest."

There were two muffled sounds of "bang bang" in the house, and the servant signaled Xiang Changyuan to go in by himself, and then left.

With a dazed expression on his face, Xiang Changyuan entered the house with a candy cake.

Seeing the scenery in the courtyard, one knows that the interior of the house will not be tacky, and it is really unique. The windows in the house are open, and in addition to the faint scent of sandalwood, there seems to be a smell of medicine in the air.

The screen on the left is placed on the side, and the background comes into view. There is a dark and wide desk by the window, and a person is leaning lazily on the teacher's chair. The person covers his face with a book, so he can't see his face clearly.The slender and white fingers resting on the table showed that he was a very young man.

The bluegrass by the window swayed slightly, and Xiang Changyuan stood by the screen, looking up at the lazy and comfortable person.

Xu Shizi moved his hand on the table and asked aloud, "Who is it?"

The voice is clear and elegant, and the breath is empty.

Xiang Changyuan came back to his senses, clasped his fists and saluted, "Xiang Changyuan is in Xiazhenbei General's Mansion. I have heard about your son's name for a long time, and I am here to pay a visit."

"Huh?" The book covering his face moved, and Xu Shizi lazily raised his hand to take the book off his face. Seeing the glare of the light, Xu Shi slightly squinted his eyes and leaned over to look at him.

Xiang Changyuan looked at him quietly, the face in front of him was the most stunning face he had ever seen in his life, his brows were like distant mountains, his eyes were bright and gazing, his gaze was shining brightly, his lips were pale, especially the red mole under his eyes, which was provocative.People's hearts are so hard to move their eyes away.

The bright blue toga made his skin look like porcelain, and his lazy and noble temperament was beyond compare.

Sure enough, compared to the number one general, personally think that the number one beauty is more suitable.

Xu Yuanqing threw the book on the table, propped his elbows on the table, covered half of his face with his slender fingers, adjusted to the light, and looked at him with burning peach eyes.

Although the young man was dressed in plain black clothes, his whole body was full of dignity, a face he had never seen before. Just now, he heard Zuo Yue rambling a lot about him, but he didn't expect to see him so soon, so he couldn't help but look at it moreTwo eyes, whispering his name, "to the long run?"

His vermilion lips parted lightly, his voice sprung out like bamboo shoots, and Xiang Changyuan suddenly came back to his senses. Before he answered, he heard him say with a little regret, "The cannon fodder for the tragic death in the book is Xiang Changyuan?"

"!?"

Xiang Changyuan looked bewildered, he could understand all the words, but he only understood his own name when they were connected together, and he didn't understand the meaning of the whole sentence.

Xu Yuanqing saw that he was tall and straight, with broad shoulders and a slender waist, and his muscular lines were faintly visible under the black clothes. At first glance, he looked like a Lianjiazi, with bright eyes and white teeth. He had a very good appearance, which made people jealous!

He frowned, feeling unhappy, and asked in a cold voice, "What's the matter?" After finishing speaking, the cold wind entered his throat, his throat tickled, and he coughed several times.

Seeing his displeasure, Xiang Changyuan quickly explained why he came, "I heard that Xu Shizi is known as the 'No. 1 military general in Beijing', and I yearn for someone with high martial arts skills in my heart, so I am here to pay a visit."

"Heh~" Such mocking remarks made Xu Yuanqing's ears sound like calluses. He had long since taken it for granted. He picked up the hot tea on the table and took a sip.The seductive peach blossom eyes are full of coldness, and the tone is even colder, "Yes, 'the number one military general in Beijing', what advice do you have?"

Xiang Changyuan felt a cold murderous intent, and seeing Xu Shizi raised his eyebrows coldly, he said perfunctorily, "Don't dare."

Xu Yuanqing: "I'm here now, don't dare to do anything, you have to move your mouth or do it, forget it, I have a sore throat today, let's do it."

There are many ways to learn martial arts, verbal fighting moves and sharp spears and real swords are the most common. Xiang Changyuan didn't want Xu Shizi to be such a straightforward person, so he was overjoyed and hurriedly put the sugar cake in his hand on the desk.

"Thank you, son."

He thought for a moment, then immediately rolled up his sleeves, showing half of his wrist, with a bright smile and a sincere face, "I know that I am not good at learning, so I am definitely not the match of the prince, but I want to learn the martial arts of the prince, and you must learn the strength first, so I take the liberty to invite the princeTry an arm wrestling with me."

"you!"

Seeing his outstretched hand, Xu Yuanqing was speechless for a moment. He had traveled the capital for ten years and had never seen anyone who dared to provoke him so blatantly. All the cells in his body became active and his body, which had been sluggish for a long time, became comfortable.

Xiang Changyuan smiled, he was very curious about the demeanor of the first general.

Xu Yuanqing gritted his teeth, "Do you really want to compare?"

"nature."

"Very good!" Xu Yuanqing shook his wide sleeves, showing his white arms, he couldn't believe that he dared to do something to him, "Come on!"

Xiang Changyuan looked at his thin white wrist, and then his slender hand held his own, feeling cool for a while.

But in the early autumn, a fire was lit in the Shizi's room, and the heat was lingering. He was sweating a little after staying there for a while, but he didn't want Xu Shizi's hands to be so cold.

His pale lips were straightened, as if angry.

Xu Yuanqing was burning with anger. He had been in the capital for many years, scolding treacherous and powerful ministers, slandering dudes, and stray dogs on the side of the road would give him three points.

Unexpectedly, when I often walk by the river without getting my shoes wet, I was actually insulted by a cannon fodder in the book. He clenched his hard palm, "If you dare to beat me, I admire you as a man!"

Xiang Changyuan smiled meaningfully, "I will do my best."

"Oh~"

Xu Yuanqing laughed angrily at him, from the beginning to the end he had a pair of innocent eyes, but every word he spoke pierced his heart, what a skill!

He beat the sky and beat the air, and today he met his opponent.

Xiang Changyuan: "Please."

As soon as the words fell, Xu Yuanqing felt a force of gravity on his wrist, he hurriedly tried his best to hold it steady, and looked at Xiang Changyuan in disbelief, he really dared!

From a close look to a long-term perspective, the eyebrows and eyes are deep, with smooth outlines, especially those eyes are very beautiful, with wide and long eyelids, curved crescent moons, and always smile in the eyes, full of youthful spirit and suaveness, it will make people feel trance after a long timeIn the sea of stars and fireflies.

Xu Yuanqing only felt familiar.

"boom!"

Xu Yuanqing was stunned, and both hands were smashed on the table. After a while, he was dripping with cold sweat, and his whole body was cold. When the wind blew, it was as if a needle had been inserted into the seam of the bone.Being dragged in pain, his face was pale, and his eyes were red.

The illness that had finally suppressed yesterday recurred.

Xiang Changyuan withdrew his hand, but his expression was also gloomy. He didn't use all his strength, but he felt something was wrong when he held Shizi's hand just now, and he withdrew a lot of strength. He didn't expect Shizi to be so weak.

The golden sunlight poured from the window, falling on the bluegrass and the desk, dappled with light and shadow.

The house was eerily quiet, only the sound of bluegrass being stirred by the wind could be heard.

"My son?"

"roll!"

Listening to his words, Xiang Changyuan's breath was fluffy, his hands were slender and weak, and he really didn't look like a martial arts practitioner. He gently pushed the candy cake he brought, and walked out of the room with a guilty conscience.

Just in time to bump into the young servant who was in a hurry, he stepped aside, thinking while walking, full of doubts.

"My son! My son vomited blood!"

There was an exclamation from behind him, he turned his head suddenly, and many people rushed into the house from both sides, and then he saw Xu Yuanqing surrounded by people, holding a long sword in both hands, with bright red blood on the corner of his mouth.

Looking at each other, Xiang Changyuan looked at his stunning face, and the moment when he shook hands with him just now appeared in his mind.

"To the long run!"

Xu Yuanqing pushed away the people on the left and right, pointed his sword at him with trembling hands, and spit out a mouthful of blood when he opened his mouth. Regardless of the fear and fear of the people around him, he roared, "To Changyuan! I have a black belt! You can kill a cow with one punch! YouWait for me!"

After finishing speaking, in the thoughts of going around to Changyuan before returning, he suddenly fainted.

Xiang Changyuan: "...?!!"

What should do if the wrist is wrenched and the person vomits blood?
