Time flies, and half a month has passed in a blink of an eye.

On this day, Gao Guiyong and Zhou Quan arrived as scheduled, and were warmly welcomed by Scarlet Cloud Village, and at the price of seven hundred silver coins, they purchased more than 400 Crimson Fire Copper in the village.

At the same time, Gao Guiyong also brought a letter to Lin Xun, the letter was written by Xue Liang, and the content was very simple, just telling Lin Xun that there was only one month left before the "government test" in Donglincheng, and if he was willing to participate in it, he had to set off for Donglincheng as soon as possible.

Lin Xun knows that generally speaking, the provincial examination will be held in December every year, the state examination will be arranged in March of the following year, and the provincial examination will be three months after the state examination, that is, in June.

As for the national examination, it will be held in September.

It is said that in September every year, in the Forbidden City, the imperial capital of the Obsidian Empire, obsidian flowers will bloom as scheduled, dotted in every part of the city like a sea of flowers, which is a first-class wonder in the world, and is known as the "Obsidian Festival".

Cultivators who can successfully pass the national examination are often known as "the beauty of the Purple Moon, the pride of the country", and then they are arranged to go to the most famous royal street in the Forbidden City, walk in the sea of obsidian flowers, and receive the cheers and praise of the crowd.

This tradition is also known as the "Tianjiao Trip".

Lin Xun held the letter in his hand and read it for a long time, until twilight fell, and finally made a decision.

......

Three days later.

Before dawn, Lin Xun had already packed his bags, took Xia Zhi's little hand, pushed open the door and walked out of the courtyard.

"Are you really decided not to tell anyone else?" Xia Solstice asked in a rare way.

"No, it's not life and death, it's better not to disturb them. Lin Xun shook his head, he actually couldn't bear to see the scene of a group of villagers sending each other.

However, when they arrived at the entrance of the village, they were stunned.

It was not yet dawn, and the mountains in the distance were shrouded in darkness, but the vicinity of the village entrance was bright, and the area was illuminated by the light of raging fires.

Xiao Tianren and other villagers all held torches, and both the elderly and children stood there quietly.

Every face was full of reluctance, and even many people had tears in their eyes, and they couldn't help crying.

No one spoke, the atmosphere was silent, only the sound of the wind wafted.

Lin Xun was completely stunned, his heart was full of emotions, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.

"Let's go!"

Xiao Tianren took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Don't say anything more, everyone just wants to give you a ride." ”

Lin Xun nodded, hugged Xia Zhi and turned over and stepped onto the scale horse, the horse's hooves hit the ground, making a crisp sound, which was extremely loud in this silent atmosphere.

Many children couldn't help but rush forward, but they were stopped by the adults around them, and some women couldn't help but bow their heads and weep, and their hearts were indescribably sad.

Under the lights, Lin Xun silently looked at each of these faces, and suddenly remembered in his heart that he had been living in Scarlet Cloud Village for half a year......

Half a year!

Not only has Scarlet Cloud Village changed a lot, but even he has changed a lot, and now he is leaving, when will he be able to return to his hometown and see his old people again?

"Lin Xun!"

A loud shout rang in Lin Xun's ears, making him wake up from his chaotic thoughts, and turned his head to look, but saw the village chief Xiao Tianren say in a deep voice: "Remember, Scarlet Cloud Village will always be your home, if you are too tired outside, you must not hold on, our Scarlet Cloud Village will always wait for you to come back!"

"Waiting for you to come back!"

The villagers couldn't hold back their emotions anymore and shouted in unison, and the voices full of anticipation echoed endlessly in the night.

Lin Xun took a few deep breaths, laughed and waved his hand, and immediately drove the scaly horse to gallop away.

At that time, the dawn broke, and a ray of dawn tore through the darkness, sprinkling the first rays of light between the heavens and the earth, illuminating the mountains and rivers, and bathing the young man on horseback with a dazzling light.

The frozen picture at that moment is destined to make all the villagers of Scarlet Cloud Village unforgettable for a lifetime.

Until Lin Xun's figure disappeared into the vast sky, the villagers never dispersed, and they all remembered many past events in their minds.

When Lin Xun came to Scarlet Cloud Village for the first time, who could have imagined that it was this young man who helped them resolve one crisis after another?

Who would have thought that because of his arrival, Scarlet Cloud Village has undergone earth-shaking changes in just half a year?

The villagers are not stupid, and they naturally know that Lin Xun really regards Scarlet Cloud Village as their home, and they also regard Lin Xun as their own.

The only regret is that they all understand that people like Lin Xun are destined not to lie dormant in Scarlet Cloud Village for a lifetime, and the outside world is the stage that belongs to him!

......

"Lin Xun, will we come back in the future?"

"Yes. ”

"Those people were nice. ”

"Of course, from now on, it may be difficult for us to meet people who are as good to us as they are. ”

"Hmm. ”

"Summer solstice, the world outside is very big, and there are many unimaginable dangers, I will do my best not to let you be wronged. ”

"As long as you don't leave me, I won't be wronged. ”

"Haha, how could I leave you. ”

In the vast mountains, Lin Xun rode his horse and galloped wildly, and the cold wind in the early morning made his delicate and angular face look extremely firm.

Xia Zhi sat in Lin Xun's arms, with a shallow smile on her beautiful and quiet little face, her world was very small, and the small one could only fit Lin Xun alone.

......

Three days later.

Lin Xun came to the Qingyang tribe, met with Xue Liang, and took a map of Xue Liang's gift to Donglin City, left the Qingyang tribe in the afternoon of the same day, and headed north.

At the same time as Lin Xun left, Yan Zhen, the shopkeeper of Shi Dingzhai of the Qingyang tribe, sent out a letter and sent it to the Donglin City, which was thousands of miles away.

The letter was sent to Mu Wansu, the person in charge of Shi Dingzhai in Donglin City, and the content was very simple, only writing on it: "Lin Xun has gone to Donglin City, and it is expected to arrive in two days." ”

This letter was carried by a "green feather falcon", and in just three hours, it fell into the hands of the curtain Wansu.

At that time, Su was bathing, and when he saw this letter, he tore it up casually, and said leisurely: "Come on, come on, anyway, I have the final say in this East Lincheng Shi Dingzhai, and in the future, as long as you are in Donglin City for a day, don't think about having anything to do with me Shi Dingzhai!"

As she spoke, she got up from the tub, her graceful and proud white body covered with droplets, as if glowing with a seductive reverie.

Su put on a loose bathrobe, stood in front of a huge bronze mirror, and wiped her wet hair with a clean towel, with an indescribable beauty in her lazy demeanor.

Immediately, she seemed to remember something, and a pair of dai eyebrows were raised, as sharp as a blade.

"No, in the future, Shi Dingzhai can't even collect and sell items with this little rabbit cub, and he must cut off any contact with him, didn't the eldest prince say that this little rabbit cub will become a big thing in the future? I want to see if he can gain a foothold in this eastern city without the help of my Shi Dingzhai!"

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on the full corners of Su Hong's lips, and a touch of confusion appeared in her beautiful eyes, and she murmured, "Lin Xun, Lin Xun, don't blame my sister for being ruthless, you made my sister angry too much before, you must remember in the future, if you are remembered by a woman, the consequences are terrible......"

......

At the same time, the Wu family firm of the Qingyang tribe.

"Shopkeeper, I have already sent someone to Scarlet Cloud Village to investigate, Archdeacon Wu Hatshui and his subordinates, including Lian Rufeng and others, have all disappeared, and the consequences are just as you expected, they have all encountered accidents. ”

"In addition, just this evening, the spies came back with news that Lin Xun's kid had set off for Donglin City, and there was only a little girl with him. ”

A subordinate came down to report, Wu Deyong listened quietly, his face changed for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth violently, and said: "It's not good where to go, but I want to go to Donglin City, isn't this self-defeating? That is the base camp of my Wu family! Although Shi Dingzhai also has an industry in Donglin City, as long as he seizes the opportunity, he may be able to take advantage of the situation!"

It's been a whole month, and whenever Wu Deyong thinks of the disappeared Wu Hatshui, the mad dog Wu Jie and others who were killed, he feels like a needle in his heart, and he can't sleep well.

Especially since Shi Dingzhai stopped the matter that day, the reputation of their Wu family firm in the Qingyang tribe has suddenly dropped to the bottom, and it has become a shameful laughing stock.

This made the resentment in Wu Deyong's heart more and more vigorous, and now he heard that Lin Xun actually looked like he was going to Donglin City to break through, which made Wu Deyong smell the opportunity.

As he said, the Donglin City is the base camp of their Wu clan, and the power is intertwined, and although Shi Dingzhai is monstrous in power, it is a first-class behemoth in the empire, but after all, it can only be regarded as an outsider in the Donglin City.

The so-called strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, Wu Deyong knows very well that there are thousands of ways to kill people, and it is not necessary to deal with Lin Xun with a knife and a gun, as long as he arranges some means and is more careful, it is enough to eradicate Lin Xun silently!

At that time, even if Shi Dingzhai knew about this matter, their Wu clan would definitely not admit that they had done it, and the consequences would naturally not be too serious.

Thinking of this, Wu Deyong couldn't hold back any longer, and hurriedly left the Qingyang tribe with several guards that night, and galloped towards the east of the city.

"Shopkeeper, it's not good, Wu Deyong has already led people to Donglin City at night, I'm afraid that he has heard the news of Lin Xun and wants to be unfavorable to him!"

Shi Dingzhai, Xue Liang hurriedly found Yan Zhen and said worriedly.

"It's okay, I've already sent a message to Miss Wansu. ”

Yan Zhen said indifferently, "With Miss Wan Su here, no matter how rampant the Wu clan is, how dare you offend our Shi Dingzhai because of Lin Xun?"

When Xue Liang heard this, he felt at ease.

It's just that neither Yan Zhen nor Xue Liang knew that Mu Wansu had already made plans to draw all the boundaries with Lin Xun.

Similarly, Lin Xun was afraid and didn't expect it, because when he went to Donglin City, so many things had already happened in secret.
