The sky is dark, many shops have hung up lanterns in the streets and alleys of Fucheng, and the lanterns are lit one after another. There are more pedestrians than during the day.

Yu Lü and Su Ziji came out of the wine shop and saw the lanterns gradually lighting up. They sighed, "After all, this is a prefectural city. Even at night, it is much more lively than the county town during the day."

Just as he was talking, he saw several people passing by on horseback slowly on the street. The great Zheng Jiewei system, in order to increase the number of cattle, ordered all the people in the world to ride in ox-carts. Only the army, inns, nobles, etc. could use horses.

Therefore, wherever he goes, everyone avoids him.

Su Ziji's eyes fell on one of the young men. This man was now wearing riding clothes and his eyes were calm. He immediately remembered the morning and what happened just now.

"I don't know what the omen was just now. Focus on the observation and what does the word prince mean?" Su Ziji felt uneasy in his heart, always feeling that he was involved in big trouble.

Yu Lü was also very curious about these people, and asked Su Ziji: "These people seem to be looking for someone, and one of them looks kind-hearted to me."

"Do you still remember the day when the county seat released the results?" Su Ziji reminded, "At that time, Boss Zhang and others forced me to pay back the money immediately. Someone once borrowed some silver and scared them away..."

"Oh! It turned out to be him!" Yu Lü remembered it immediately.

Although it had been some time since then, this young man stepped forward and had outstanding temperament, which naturally impressed Yu Lü very deeply.

In the morning at Dragon Gate, Yu Lü didn't dare to look at it more, but after being reminded, I thought about it.

"No wonder he has power, it turns out to be official power." Yu Lü said with emotion.

Su Ziji thought more and thought to himself, "These people I'm looking for should be about the same age as me, otherwise I wouldn't be staring at people of similar age to me at that time."

"Fortunately, I have a clean family background and traces of my ancestors can be traced. I should not be the person they are looking for."

Although he didn't know the purpose of these people's search, he felt that it was a big trouble for him. He sighed and asked, "Brother Yu, if you are better informed, do you know how many princes there are in this dynasty?"

"Prince?" Yu Lü's voice was slightly lower. "Why are you interested?"

"But this is not something too taboo. The Taizu of this dynasty is the prince. There was a prince in Jinshang. It is said that he once offended the emperor and was ordered to study behind closed doors. He later died of illness."

"Now there is no prince, only Prince Qi and Prince Shu."

Yu Lü didn't want to say more about these words, so he changed the topic. "This time I came to Fucheng. Although I live in the city, I have been busy reviewing my homework. How can I have time to play?"

"Now that the exam is over, let's find a place to play. What do you think?"

"There is no prince, only Prince Qi, Prince Shu?" Su Ziji thought thoughtfully, and was about to agree when he heard an anxious voice not far away, "In front of you, is it Su Ziji?"

"Brother Zhao? Why are you here in Fucheng?" Su Ziji heard the voice sound familiar and turned around to find a young man wearing a brown shorts standing not far away. It was Doctor Zhao's second son Zhao Erlang.

"Su Ziji, I finally found you!" Zhao Erlang followed his father's order and ran to Fucheng to look for Su Ziji and Ye Buhui. Since he didn't know where they lived, he stayed at the door of Examination Compound, waiting for the student to take the exam, but he didn't see the person he was looking for just now, so he was so anxious.

Now when I bumped into Su Ziji, I immediately breathed a sigh of relief and immediately said to Su Ziji urgently, "Boss Ye is almost dead, please take Miss Ye back quickly!"

"Uncle Ye What happened to him? Wasn't he still fine when we left? But he vomited blood again?" Su Ziji felt his heart skip a beat and asked quickly.

Zhao Erlang was worried that Su Ziji would misunderstand that he was not trying his best, so he hurriedly explained, "Boss Ye's body has been weak for a long time. I was holding on to comfort you before. As soon as you left, you vomited blood that night, and we were not allowed to go to you. We were in a coma the day before yesterday and struggled to wake up at dawn."

"My father said that if there were no accidents, it would be the last few days. He was afraid that Miss Ye would miss the last time, so he urged me to come back to you in a hurry."

Su Ziji felt uncomfortable when he heard it, but he was very grateful to Zhao Erlang for specially bringing the message.

"I know this. I'll go find Bu Hui immediately. Did you come by boat?"

Zhao Erlang shook his head. "I came here with a familiar merchant ship. My father asked me to buy some things on the way back. After all, it is not easy to come to Fucheng."

This means we won't go back together.

Su Ziji thanked him again, watched Zhao Erlang leave, and said to Yu Lü, "Brother Yu, I can't accompany you tomorrow. You wait here in Fucheng for the results to be released. Bu Hui and I will go back."

"This is what should be done." Yu Lü was very considerate and said, "If you can't book a boat back, just take the boat I rented back."

"In that case, I'll bother you then." Su Ziji nodded, and the two of them broke up and immediately rushed back to the hotel.

"What, Bu Hui and the two winners went to participate in the chess club activities, and then went to Coiling Dragon Lake's painting boat?" Even though he was impatient, Su Ziji was still a little surprised.

Coiling Dragon Lake's boat painting incident just happened, why are you still organizing it without fear of taboos?

The clerk was also a little confused and said, "Yes, I don't know the specific reason."

Su Ziji went back to the house to pack up, but he didn't have many things. He rented an ox cart and hurried to Coiling Dragon Lake's bank.

The driver shouted and the ox cart started to move. Su Ziji closed his eyes slightly and felt a lot of emotions in his heart. It would be hypocritical to say that he has too deep feelings for Ye Weihan.

Not to mention the original memory, even after waking up, Ye Weihan's care and attention every time is engraved in my heart one by one.

I wanted to repay him later, but now he is dying. This man is really fragile.

With a sigh, he had time to look at half of the Rosewood Pendant virtual shadow, which was floating in the field of vision with a faint green light at this time. "I noticed that the Prefectural Examination examination room is in various forms. The host has won the first place. Can I seize this scene?"

"Yes."

"Prefectural Examination has obtained all the various aspects of the examination room and turned them into seeds. Will Coiling Dragon Heart Method absorb them (this move is irreversible)?"

"Yes!"

"Coiling Dragon Heart Method absorbs Seed of Humanity and obtains magical power--Literary Heart Carving Dragon!"

"Coiling Dragon Heart Method 2 level,586/2000"

Sure enough, a breakthrough was made. Su Ziji looked carefully, and saw that there was a faint dragon shape at the beginning of Coiling Dragon Heart Method, but it was blurry. Now it turned into a white carp, which was clearly visible. Not only that, Literary Heart Carving Dragon also had annotations. Focusing on it, there was a faint sentence.

"The human heart is only in danger, the Daoist heart is weak, the essence is only one, and the will and attachment are in the middle - so this magical power can interfere with people's hearts, but currently it can only make people get close to themselves?"

It's not a so-called magical power to kill, but Su Ziji took a breath of cold air.

At this time, the ox cart stopped for a moment, and the sedan driver shouted that it had arrived. Su Ziji got off the car and paid the driver. He saw a drizzle again. The light on the lake was dim and the color of the water was deep. Because of an accident, the painting boat was parked on the shore and hung with more than a dozen lanterns. It was so bright that it could be seen from the shore.
