In Fanjing, Chen Guo, two siblings, Shu'er and Lin Ying, finished their day's work and sat on the old city tower to look at the moon. The old city tower in Fanjing is still a place where literati, poets, violinists and dancers gather, especially in a place like this

Flowers bloom on a full moon night.

At this time, Lin Ying has grown into a fourteen-year-old handsome boy, and Shu'er has also grown into an eighteen-year-old girl.

The two siblings laughed heartily as they recalled their adventure at the foot of Yaowang Mountain in Xiling nine years ago.

Lin Ying said: "Sister Shu'er, I think the daughter of the head of Yaowang Mountain is probably bragging. How could a boy less than ten years old defeat the leader of a group of bandits? Not to mention that the bandit leader must have experienced a lot of experience.

In a battle, even a punch with the force of an adult would be enough to hurt a ten-year-old child for several days. At that time, I thought that our elder brother from the Zhuge family in the Chu Kingdom was really powerful, and I was extremely envious of him. But I didn’t expect that in these years,

I haven’t heard about his martial arts skills.”

Shu'er said: "I told you back then not to believe that little girl's words, but you have been obsessed with that 'brother of the Zhuge family' for so many years. I really can't do anything to you. I learned boxing and kicking kung fu when I was a child, and I have also taught it over the years.

You have a lot, but you said it yourself, apart from strengthening the body, can these skills really be so amazing?"

Lin Ying sighed: "I have always been naive. How could the brother of the Zhuge family be a martial arts master?"

Shu'er was suddenly curious: "Have you ever seen your 'brother from the Zhuge family'? Why do you always call him so close?"

Lin Ying clapped her hands and said: "Of course I have seen it! Have I never told you?"

Shu'er rolled his eyes and said, "If so, why would I ask? And since you lost interest in martial arts, you haven't mentioned him for several years. Why did you suddenly mention him today?"

Lin Ying said: "I met him once when I was about three years old. He was about seven or eight years old at that time. At that time, I went with my father to the Chu Palace in Linjiang to congratulate my grandfather on his birthday. The seven kings gathered in the Chu Palace, and my grandfather also invited

Other princes and nobles, as well as the Zhuge family, the richest man in Chu State. When I was playing in the Chu Palace, I was bullied by several cousins. They were the same cousins ​​who beat us in the orange grove of Prince Sheng's Mansion. Later, they were members of the Zhuge family.

My brother appeared out of nowhere and beat them away. I was too young at that time and couldn’t remember clearly, and I couldn’t even remember his appearance. I didn’t know who he was at the time, or did my father tell me later?

My. As for why I suddenly mentioned him today, it’s because I heard someone talking about him in our restaurant.”

"What are you talking about?"

"I heard that the State of Zhao promulgated a Nine States Ranking, ranking figures from various countries regardless of national boundaries. It was written by Zhao Wang Duguqi himself, and it has been widely circulated in the world recently. There is a 'Kyushu Beauty List' on the Nine States List, regardless of national boundaries.

Men and women, as long as they are good-looking, can be on the list. Guess what, it turns out that among the five places on the Kyushu beauty list, the only man who appears is the brother of the Zhuge family! Logically speaking, there are five people on each list, respectively.

They come from Zhao, Song, Chen, Shu, and Chu. Although they are ranking people, they also rank the styles of each country. As a result, the beauty on the list from our Chu country turned out to be a man!"

Shu'er chuckled: "This is strange. I think that when you return to Chu State in the future, you should be given the place of Chu State Beauty on the Nine Provinces Beauty List."

Lin Ying was delighted after hearing this, and said excitedly: "Guess who is the beauty from Shu on the beauty list?"

Shu'er thought for a while and said, "Could it be the daughter of the head of Yaowang Mountain who made such nonsense? The one we met in Xiling? What is her name? I don't remember."

Lin Ying said: "Yes, that's her! Sister, you are so smart! Her name is Xue Yiren."

"What does it mean to be smart or not? We only met two people in Shu Kingdom, one is her father and the other is her. Could it be that it is her father who is on the beauty list of Kyushu?"

"That's right, we really don't know anyone else in Shu. Then guess who are the beauties from Chen, Zhao and Song?"

Shu'er shook his head and said: "I'm not as nosy as you. I spend all day in the restaurant asking for news from all sides. How do I know who those beauties are?"

Lin Ying said: "Sister, you have missed a lot of good stories. The beauty of the Song Dynasty was a beauty from the Song Dynasty. The King of Song heard that King Zhao was going to be ranked among the nine states, so he personally wrote to King Zhao to recommend a beauty from the Song Dynasty."

Shu'er let out a "chee" sound and thought to herself: "Brother must have fallen in love with a girl from a certain family. He was embarrassed to tell others, so he went to such great lengths to please that girl. We have been separated for nine years. Brother, how can you do it?"

Remember me? It’s not that I don’t want to go back, it’s just that the longer I’ve been out, the less I know when to go back... Maybe I shouldn’t have stayed in Chu for so long, and when Chu fell apart overnight, I had no choice but to go with the flow.

I took refuge in the State of Chen. When I arrived in the State of Chen, I asked several times how I could return to the State of Song. However, the war between Chen and Song eighteen years ago had turned the two countries into feuds. Now, the two countries’ diplomacy can only be done through the intervening countries.

Zhao State, I want to return directly from Chen State to Song State, how easy is it? The price of a piece of customs clearance document has been so high that I can buy hundreds of acres of fertile land. And Zhao State has strict jurisdiction, and it is impossible for Chen people to enter Song State from Zhao State.

, if you are caught, you will go to Zhao Guotian Prison. I also want to go back, but I am really powerless."

Seeing that Shu'er was distracted, Lin Ying thought that she was not interested in the beauty list, so she stopped talking with excitement and just said lightly: "The person recommended by the King of Song is his sister."

Shu'er was in a daze and said "Oh" perfunctorily. When she came back to her senses, she realized what Lin Ying had said. "You said King Song recommended his sister?"

Lin Ying said: "Yes, speaking of King Song's sister, like you, she has the word 'forgiveness' in her name."

Shu'er was stunned again. Lin Ying tugged on Shu'er's sleeve and said, "In my opinion, my sister must be a hundred times more beautiful than the Song King's sister! On the Kyushu Beauty List, Song King is obviously cheating for personal gain."

Shu'er breathed a sigh of relief and thought: "It turns out that my brother still remembers me, and it's interesting for him to commemorate me. Maybe I should really work hard to earn travel expenses back to Song Dynasty, lest he really think that I am dead."

." But he asked: "Jiuzhou beauty list, can the people on the list be dead people?"

Lin Ying said: "Of course you can! The beauty on the list of Chen State is Fanjing Dancer Liu Yao who has been dead for eighteen years. Of course, everyone also knows that she is Princess Yi of Qi State. But Qi State has died, and Zhao

The king can be regarded as taking care of the two countries with this."

Shu'er suddenly felt that this King Zhao was really magical. There were only five people in the Kyushu Beauty List. He inexplicably occupied a seat, and his biological mother also occupied a seat, and they were all dead. Although she was still alive in the world.

, but as far as the Song State is concerned, she has been dead for nine years. That’s all. After listening to this inexplicable list of beauties, she asked: “Who is the beauty of the Zhao State?”

"It's King Zhao's sister, Duguqing."

Shu'er clicked his tongue and said: "It seems that there is a lot of fraud in this list! I guess your 'brother of the Zhuge family' must have given a lot of money to King Zhao to buy this seat. Also.

That girl from Yaowang Mountain probably used her giant python formation to intimidate King Zhao."
