Miss Qianqian smiled generously and said, "Today is such a good day. Even the slave family hasn't received the top prize for a long time." A few years have passed, and the originally young girl has grown into a big girl.
"Miss Qianqian, stop selling the lawsuit and tell us who the lucky winner is!" someone in the audience shouted urgently.
"It seems that everyone is looking forward to the talented person who will be ranked No. 1 today. Let me see who will win the No. 1 prize!" Qian Qian looked at the golden post.
"This name doesn't look like a familiar customer, but it seems like I've seen it before somewhere." Qianqian said with some confusion.
"It's over. I almost came to the No. 1 Scholar Building, but there's no way it could be me."
"Is it me? This is my second visit today!"
"Qianqian, who is it? I'm so worried!"
There was another discussion in the audience, and the regular guests of Zhuangyuan Building all looked frustrated.
"Okay, okay, if the slave family doesn't announce it, the uncles will take it out on Qianqian. The talent I will announce next is...Zhou Shan!" Qianqian read out Erzhuang's name in a long voice.
Er Zhuang had already made some guesses, and was not surprised that his name appeared on the post. He stood up gracefully and walked upstairs.
"Who is Zhou Shan? Is there such a person in Ningguan City?"
"Miss Qianqian is right, I do seem to have heard it somewhere."
"This name sounds like a mountain villager, and it doesn't sound like the name of a talented person."
The patrons at each table were talking a lot, and they were all curious about Er Zhuang's identity.
Suddenly a young man with a sword exclaimed: "Zhou Shan! Is he the man who is currently in the Ningguan Army?"
"I remembered, isn't Zhou Shan one of the two adopted sons adopted by General Xue Ding before his death? Now he has already joined the army in Ningguan." A middle-aged man also said with a look of surprise, Ningguan The city is a pass, and the people are more concerned about military matters than other places.
"I heard that Zhou Shan is tall and burly, and he fits this person very well. I didn't expect that this big shot in the army is actually an all-rounder in both civil and military affairs. This passing test is not something that ordinary soldiers can pass..."
People who have been in brothels for a long time are from wealthy families even if they are not high-ranking officials. After knowing the identity of Er Zhuang, the doubts turned into one-sided compliments. In troubled times, military generals have a much higher status than talented men.
At this time, in Tao Suya's boudoir on the second floor, Cheng Le'er was sitting at the table, holding Er Zhuang's post in her hand, her eyes flashing with approval and saying: "What a hero, singing and slashing with swords! It seems that Mr. Zhou has lofty aspirations. The literary talent and charm of this couplet are much better than that of the Second Young Master."
Tao Suya stood aside and said with a smile: "Why, sister Le'er is attracted to her?"
"It looks good, but I don't know if it's a silver spear with a pewter tip." Cheng Leer did not deny it.
"Sister Le'er, don't just look at men and forget about the young master's mission." Tao Suya said seriously.
Cheng Leer patted her chest and said, "Don't worry, your sister and I have never missed anything."
"He's coming. Sister, please go in first. I'll test him first." Tao Suya said anxiously.
Cheng Leer remained indifferent. She said very seriously: "You go in, and I will meet Mr. Zhou."
Tao Suya wanted to give some advice, but seeing Cheng Leer's determined look, she had no choice but to give up trying to enter the secret room first.
After Lu Feidi got married, Cheng Leer naturally became the steward of Ningguan City's Zhuangyuan Building. Tao Suya, a latecomer, of course had to listen to her.
Er Zhuang was taken outside the boudoir, and Si left. Er Zhuang gently knocked on the door.
"It's Mr. Zhou who's here. The door is unlocked. Come in quickly!" A woman's clear voice came from inside the door.
Er Zhuang pushed the door open without any courtesy, and immediately bolted the door after entering.
"Young Master Zhou locked the door of someone's room for the first time. What do you mean? The slave family is going to call someone!" Cheng Leer said, pretending to be panicked.
"You must be this girl, right? How can you not be cautious about what you and I want to talk about!" Erzhuang lowered his voice and said seriously.
"It seems that Mr. Zhou knows something." Cheng Leer smiled.
"Mr. Zhou doesn't understand very well, please let me know for sure!" Er Zhuang said calmly with his hands clasped in fists.
Cheng Leer suddenly stood up and walked towards Er Zhuang with a smile. Her figure was graceful and her every move and smile was full of charm.
Er Zhuang, a kid who grew up in a mountain village, had never seen such a posture before. He turned his head away and looked at the window.
"Mr. Zhou, why don't you look at me? I won't eat you." Cheng Leer said coquettishly. As the top martial arts scholar in the Zhuangyuan Building, Cheng Leer is very good at seducing men.
"Miss Tao, since Zhou is already here, you and I should discuss business matters!" Er Zhuang said in a panic.
Cheng Leer had already walked in front of Er Zhuang. Er Zhuang noticed it and stepped back and said: "Miss Tao, you don't need to stand so close when talking about things..."
Er Zhuang's embarrassment made Cheng Leer even more amused, and she rushed towards Er Zhuang.
Erzhuang could not avoid Cheng Leer's sneak attack. He wanted to stop him but was afraid of Cheng Leer, so he could only stand still.
Cheng Leer hugged Er Zhuang's waist and put his head on Er Zhuang's chest.
"Miss Tao, if you don't worry about the relationship between men and women, don't blame me for being rude!" Er Zhuang's voice trembled a little.
"Mr. Zhou, you are so strong. Why are you so shy when you and I are like this? I want to see how rude you are!" Cheng Leer said with a wink at Er Zhuang.
Er Zhuang didn't dare to look at Cheng Le'er at all. He would rather face hundreds of Qing soldiers than be alone with this girl.
"Girl, I'm sorry!" Erzhuang finally couldn't bear it any more, and a powerful internal force erupted from his body, knocking Cheng Leer away.
Even though Erzhuang had tried his best to soften his inner strength, the inner strength was still not something that a woman like Cheng Leer, who had no strength, could contend with. Although Cheng Leer was not injured, she flew backwards at an extremely fast speed.
Upon seeing this, Er Zhuang hurriedly stepped forward and stopped Cheng Leer.
Strong arms blocked Cheng Leer's back, and Cheng Leer fell directly into Er Zhuang's arms.
"Mr. Zhou, you can hug me if you want. Why go around in such a roundabout way?" Cheng Leer said generously.
Erzhuang helplessly helped Cheng Leer up and quickly retreated.
"Oops, I'm a little dizzy..." Cheng Leer seemed to be about to fall if her feet weakened, so Erzhuang had no choice but to step forward to hold her up.
"I knew Mr. Zhou would not let the slave family receive support..." Cheng Leer looked at Er Zhuangdao with affection.
"Girl, please respect yourself!" Erzhuang blushed, helped Cheng Leer up again, and soon distanced himself from Cheng Leer.
This time Cheng Leer became serious and said: "Master Zhou is indeed a gentleman, and women admire him!"
"Miss Tao, since you are the one who led me here, you naturally know the details of me, so there is no need to do unnecessary testing." Erzhuang frowned, obviously Cheng Leer's series of actions made him very embarrassed.
"First of all, the woman's surname is not Tao. My name is Cheng Le'er. I hope Master Zhou can remember it. Second, the woman didn't test the Master just now, but really wanted to get close to him." Cheng Le'er said with a charming expression again.
Er Zhuang had a dark look on his face. He really had no choice about this weird woman.
Suddenly the bed in the room changed, and there was a sound of turning mechanisms.
Er Zhuang was nervous and put his hand on the handle of the knife at his waist, as if he would take action at any time.
"Sister Le'er, stop teasing Mr. Zhou and get down to business." Tao Suya walked out of the secret room.
Erzhuang naturally saw at a glance that this girl still had no martial arts skills. He immediately breathed a sigh of relief and slowly released his hand from the handle of the knife.
"This is the real Tao Suya." Cheng Leer smiled.
"Suya has met Mr. Zhou!" Tao Suya bowed and saluted.
Erzhuang immediately clasped his fists and said, "I met Miss Tao in Zhouzhou Mountain."
"You two, don't be polite, come in and get down to business!" Cheng Leer said seriously as he walked towards the bed.
Tao Suya said helplessly: "My aunt, isn't it time for you to tease Mr. Zhou? I just said a word. Why are you so anxious...Wait for me!" But she hurried inside.
Er Zhuang was speechless. He hesitated for a moment and then quickly followed.
After walking down the steps, the mechanism was closed, and the three of them walked through the long corridor to the secret room where everyone drank.
"Mr. Zhou, this was the place where the two princes of Jin'an drank together!" Cheng Leer said seriously.
Although Erzhuang was extremely shocked, he pretended as if nothing had happened. He said with disdain: "Jin'an? The dynasty that was destroyed that year, what's the point of bragging about two subjugated princes drinking here?"
"It seems that Mr. Zhou is not the person we are looking for, and you don't know Sun Zheping or Gu Xifeng..." Cheng Leer said with regret.
Erzhuang finally couldn't hold it back and said, "Who are you?"
"As Mr. Zhou saw, Suya and I are just the oirans of the Number One Scholar's Building, but this Number One Scholar's Building belongs to the same person, and his name is Chu Boping!" At this point, both Leer and Tao Suya's faces showed pride. .
"Jin'an Crown Prince Chu Boping, you are indeed from Jin'an!" Erzhuang said excitedly. He paused to calm down and continued: "I wonder if Jin'an now knows the whereabouts of Sun Zheping and Gu Xifeng!"
Cheng Leer's expression became serious when he heard this and said: "Sun Zheping killed the Qinghe general Yae Kira and many Qinghe cavalry and then rushed to the aid of Beidou City. In the battle of Beidou City, he was seriously injured and defeated the two masters. In the end, the old injury broke out and he died from exhaustion. He died, and now he has been buried in Jin Requiem Cemetery in Ping'an Valley."
Er Zhuang's face was filled with shock when he heard the news. He was speechless for a long time. Cheng Leer and Tao Suya were also waiting quietly, and the secret room was extremely quiet.
"It turns out that the teacher did not die in the woods. He actually killed that damn General Qinghe. He was able to defeat two grandmasters with such a body. He is worthy of being a teacher." There were tears in Er Zhuang's eyes, but his face But with a smile on his face.
Er Zhuang took a deep breath and said, "What about Gu Xifeng?"
"The second son disappeared for several days after the battle in Beidou City. Now he has returned to Ping An Valley to recuperate."
"Xifeng, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay..." Er Zhuang seemed to be relieved, but tears still flowed down his cheeks.
Cheng Leer handed over a clever handkerchief, and Erzhuang took it after hesitating for a moment, gently wiping away the tears on his face.
"I'm sorry..." Er Zhuang said with a smile.
"I have gone through your experience before. It will feel better if you cry." Cheng Leer said gently.
"Now that I'm here, I won't hide it anymore. I have promised the teacher to join the Jin'an camp. Now even though I am in Ningguan City, my heart belongs to Jin'an!" Erzhuang said very seriously.
The two girls looked at each other with joy on their faces.
"That's very good. The two of us originally prepared a lot of words to persuade Mr. Zhou, but now it saves trouble." Cheng Leer said with a smile, looking at Er Zhuang with a hint of intimacy in his eyes.
Tao Suya also smiled and said: "Master Zhou, from now on you and I will be a family!"
"Who is your family?" Cheng Leer glared at Tao Suya and said angrily. Tao Suya looked aggrieved and said nothing.
Er Zhuang cupped his fists and said, "You two girls, just call me Shan or Er Zhuang from now on."
"Er Zhuang, he really lives up to his name." Cheng Leer covered his mouth and smiled.
"Miss Le'er, does His Highness the Crown Prince have any instructions for me?"
Cheng Leer shook his head and said: "The prince just asked me and you to contact you. He asked us to send a message, which is 'Be yourselves!'"
"Be yourself?" Erzhuang was confused. He frowned and thought for a moment, seemingly thinking of something, and then said again: "I understand."
