Those lantern riddles puzzled Ning Lang, but not Ning warm.

Ning Yanting often said that if she was a man, she would take part in the imperial examination, and maybe she would be able to get back a champion. Qingzhou is a remote place, and the whole people advocate martial arts. There are not many people studying in the lantern riddle. This time, a teacher from Chengtou Academy in Qingzhou was invited to come. The teacher was a whole person and knew the background of the people in Qingzhou. The festival was also for the fun, so he didn't make the topic too difficult.

Ning Nuan guessed all the way, and many people beside her bowed their heads and left dejectedly. Only she stood in front of the twelve faced lantern with several questions.

But there was another one standing in front of the lantern with her. Most of the people who come out to play in the evening wear masks. Ningnuan is, and so is the man. The masks sold on the stalls are also in the same style as Qingzhou, most of which are animal faces. The man wore a silver wolf mask, which covered most of his face and revealed only his beautiful chin.

Rather warm looked over there, feel a bit familiar, but soon recovered the line of sight. She gave the note to the man in charge of the lantern riddle, and so did the man.

The person in charge finished the note, but frowned in embarrassment.

"The two young masters answered the same number of questions correctly. According to the rules, only the one who answers the most can get the lantern. This..."

"As many?" Another humanitarian: "that lantern has only one?"

"Exactly."

"That's too bad. I'm sure I'll get this lantern. If you want, I can give you some money. " Said the man.

Ning Nuan heard that.

The voice clearly belonged to an Wang.

After a mask, she could not see the appearance of an Wang, but she had heard his voice many times in the ordinary days. Now she recognized him as soon as he opened his mouth.

It turns out that king an wants to rob himself of this lantern?

Rather warm heart read a turn, looked up at the lantern with twelve sides. The lantern was hanging high, and the candle light inside was shaking, reflecting the painting outside. She liked it when she saw it. She was really reluctant to give up.

Rather warm mouth, his voice pressed down, peace day there is no resemblance, "unfortunately, I really like this lantern, if you don't mind, I might as well give me money, please stop."

Chu Fei raised his eyebrows.

They looked at the person in charge together.

The person in charge thought about it and said, "Master Zhang is here tonight. It's better to invite him here and ask him to set questions for you. The lantern tonight depends on who answers more questions and who can answer the last question. This lantern is whose

There was nothing they refused.

Zhang Fu Zi was old. He had been sitting in the back to watch the fun. He heard that two people had guessed his riddle, so he came out with enthusiasm. When he came out to meet them, he saw that both of them were young boys, but one was taller and the other was shorter. He squinted with a smile. After listening to the leader's words, he did not refuse. When he sat down and thought about it for a while, he soon got the first question.

……

Seeing Yang Zhen willing to accept his lantern, Ning Lang was ecstatic, eager to jump up on the spot.

He pinched himself hard to make himself calm down, but he still couldn't help but smile.

He pointed to the stage on the top and said, "look, the play on the top is finished. Do you want to continue watching it?"

"How about going somewhere else?"

Ning Lang nodded, turned his head to look around, but saw the lantern there, I do not know when and gathered people. He couldn't help but wonder, "what happened then?"

Yang Zhen held the lantern in his hand, drooping his eyelids and staring at the candle fire inside. Listening to him, he said, "go and have a look."

They crowded into the crowd.

From the crowd out, to the front, only to know that two people have guessed all the lantern riddles, so we are asking the teacher to set a question on the spot, and let the two people compete. If anyone can answer the final question, he will get the general lamp with twelve faces.

Ning Lang was stunned.

My dear, don't mention the general lamp. He tried one, but the two made it difficult for him to come back. Now it's better, and there are still two people who have guessed right?

This person is more than others, which is really helpless.

Ning Lang sighed, but was poked by Yang Zhen. He turned his head and saw Yang Zhen lift the lantern in his hand and said solemnly, "don't look at them, you are also fierce."

Although this general lamp is not another general lamp, it is almost the same.

Ning Lang scratched his head, and some embarrassed to laugh out.

He looked into the field and saw that he did not know when two tables had been moved. The two men were standing behind one table with a little boy beside them. Master Zhang sat in front of him, pondered for a while, and said a topic. As soon as his voice dropped, the two men seemed to have no need to think about it. They immediately raised their pens and wrote down their answers. Almost at the same time, they put down their pens. Even the ink on the paper was not dried, so they were quickly picked up by the boy beside him and sent to Zhang Fu Zi for a look. Then the people around him read out their answers.Ning Lang listen to two eyes dizzy, only listen to the side of some scholars from time to time, just know that the two people are equal.

He turned his head, but saw Yang Zhen also see with interest.

"Do you understand?"

"What?"

Ning Lang pointed to the other side, some confused way: "do you understand?"

Yang Zhen nodded: "I have learned some before."

“……”

Yang Zhen explained to him: "now this topic is related to the art of war. I have read a lot of military books, but I understand this aspect. If you talk to me about the four books and five classics, I don't understand."

Ning Lang:

Sure enough, when Zhang Fu Zi came up with a new topic, Yang Zhen and he fell into stagnation.

"What do you do as a bandit leader Ning Lang face dew tangled: "difficult not, you still want to take the bottom brothers to fight?"

Yang Zhen said: "it will always be used."

"The world is peaceful now, and there is no war except for some uneasiness at the border." Ning Lang scratched his head: "even if you want to enter the barracks, I'm afraid it's difficult."

Nothing else, Yang is really a woman. If a woman disguises herself as a man and goes into the army, even if she knows that she is excellent and can fight against 100, Ning Lang will worry.

"When I was a kid, my family forced me to learn this." Yang Zhen said: "I can't use it now, but I can't forget it. If one day, if the people in the Shanzhai don't want to, then let them continue to be mountain bandits. What's the meaning of being a mountain bandit?"

"Drinking and eating meat is not interesting?"

Yang Zhen looked at him with a smile: "do you dare to kill?"

Ning Lang choked.

"Now all the people in the Shanzhai go hunting. The skin and meat are sold to the foot of the mountain. It's fast and a lot of money. Although it's hard, it's safe. The officers and soldiers in Qingzhou won't come to catch us."

"That's not good?"

Before Ning Lang came, he had heard about the mountain bandits in Qingzhou. He said that they were rapacious and plundering, and even the government could not cure them. When I arrived here, I found that although the mountain bandits were called mountain bandits, they were no different from the hunter's family.

"I think the brothers on the mountain also like it very much. How can anyone want to tie his head to his belt every day and live a stable life

"Do you think so?"

Ning Lang nodded and thought she didn't see it, so he answered.

Yang Zhen raised his head and looked at the twelve palace lanterns hanging in the distance. The painter has exquisite skills to draw the scene of Qingzhou people's concerted efforts to defend the city. This story was heard by Qingzhou people since childhood, and almost everyone can tell it from the beginning to the end.

But she heard more.

When she was a child, she heard this story. When she was a baby, she was told that there were powerful generals in her ancestors who guarded the people of Qingzhou from generation to generation. Those words were told by the descendants of the general. She also heard people saying that she had the blood of a general in her body. She would become a powerful general in the future, inherit the will of the general and protect the people of Qingzhou.

She should be standing on the battlefield, her martial arts should be used on the enemy's body, and she should not be the head of a wild animal. She can't live in a muddle in the countryside and mountains.

Yang Zhen said softly, "but I don't want to be like this."

Ning Lang was stunned.

After a long time, he regained consciousness and said with worry: "then I may become your hind leg."

Yang Zhen:

Yang Zhen did not respond for a moment: "what?"

Ning Lang took it from himself: "I can't do it. If I go to the battlefield with you, I'm afraid I can't even protect myself, and I'll implicate you later."

Yang Zhen:

"I knew that. When my father asked me to hire a master, I should have studied hard. If I had not thought of playing truant before, I might be able to fight tigers as well as you." Ning Lang sighed: "I said this countless times, but now regret it is a little late."

“…… Wait. " Yang Zhen interrupted him: "why do you want to follow me to the battlefield?"

Ning Lang reaction over, immediately embarrassed, he scratched his head, some shy, embarrassed and Yang Zhen line of sight.

Yang Zhen:

Ning Lang wanted to cover up and said: "are we not friends? If you go to war, I can't rest assured. Naturally, I will follow you. "

“……”

"Don't worry. From today on, I began to study hard and practice hard. Do you see, I'm getting better than when you first saw me? At the beginning, you can beat me with one move, but now I have been able to withstand three moves under you. " Ning Lang solemnly said, "I'll practice again. When you become a general, I'll follow you to be a military division." It seems that in the whole camp, the last person who can fight is the military division.

Yang Zhenxiao: "you don't even know the art of war. Do you want to be a military division?"

“……” Ning Lang said, "then I can be a gang soldier."Yang Zhen laughed again and said nothing.

They looked back into the field.

Ning Lang is focusing on it. After a long time, he suddenly hears Yang Zhen say softly: "the General Yang in the picture is my grandfather."

Ning Lang froze.

After a long time, he regained his consciousness and said anxiously, "you are the descendant of the general, so I am not worthy of you?"

“……”

"My father is an official in the imperial court, and he may be promoted in the future." Ning Lang thought for a while and said, "if we really want to say it, we are the right match."

“……”

Ning Lang quickly reacted to it and continued to cover it up and said: "to be a friend, you don't care about my family background. Don't you think I'm from a low family background?"

“……”

He couldn't help turning his head to look at Yang Zhen. As a result, he had just turned his head. Before he could see Yang Zhen's expression, Yang Zhen stretched out his hand, covered his face, and broke his head back to prevent him from looking at himself.

Ning Lang hesitated for a long time, and then whispered: "my ancestors also had a second grade official, not low."

“…… Shut up

Ning Lang "Oh" a, dare not speak again.

……

On the other hand, the contest, which was set by Zhang Fuzi, gradually led to victory.

Zhang Fu Zi's questions became more and more difficult. When he got to the back, even the scholars around him couldn't understand. Only the two of them were still writing hard.

"This last question is what I saw in a book recently." Zhang Fu Zi said: "even the old man has just figured out the answer to this question. If both of them are right, there is nothing I can do about it

Chufei said, "Sir, please."

Zhang Fu Zi thought for a while and said the topic in his memory.

This topic is really very rare. Not only did Zhang Fu Zi fail before, but also the scholars who were around the scene were puzzled. After hearing this, the scholars fell into deep thought. Even Ning warm and chufei are the same.

Ning Nuan also felt that this topic was familiar to her, as if she had heard of it, but now she thought carefully, but how could she not remember it.

The scene was quiet for a moment. Chu Fei stepped forward and arched toward Ning Nuan. He opened his mouth and said the answer. He was lucky. In his last life, he studied this topic carefully with ah Nuan. After several days of deliberation, he finally came up with the answer. He didn't realize that he had heard it here in his life.

He answered, and the game was settled.

Ning Nuan is not as good as others. She looks forward to seeing that the twelve faced lantern is sent to an Wang's hand. She looks at the lantern closely, but the more she looks at it, the more she looks at it, the more she likes it.

Chufei came over.

"I want to bring this lantern to my sweetheart. I can't give it to you."

Ning Nuan stares at him and says nothing.

Chu Fei took off his mask with one hand, and said, "today, I've got a lot from my competition with you. If you don't mind, you'd better be a friend with me. If you agree, you'd better take off your mask and let me see you."

Ning Nuan:

Chufei's eyebrows and eyes are smiling, which is reflected by the lanterns all around. It is actually a bit warm and moist.

Ning Nuan has never seen him like this. Just now she tried her best to compete with an Wang. After a contest, she felt very happy.

Ning Nuan thought about it and took off his mask.

When her face came out, Chu Fei, who was smiling just now, was stunned.

Chufei looked at her for a long time. Then he looked down at the lantern in his hand. Then he remembered that he had tried to win the lantern to give her. Instead, he snatched it from her hand Chufei's head is blank, and the whole person is confused.
