Qian Jin looked at Shangguan Xiu with bright eyes, who was not discouraged but in high spirits, and couldn't help but said: "Brother Xiu, no matter when the time comes, I will work with you."
In Qian Jin's mind, Shangguan Xiu has brains and leadership abilities, which is evident from his ability to summon such powerful spiritual martial arts masters as Ding Leng and Luo Ren to his side.
If you want to get ahead, relying on Shangguan Xiu is the best choice, at least for now.
Shangguan Xiu thought he would be able to meet Gu Qingling again the next day, but when he went to the Gu Mansion the next evening, he was told by the servants of the Gu Mansion that Gu Qingling had been picked up at noon and was now returning to Yuzhen. on the way.
Shangguan Xiu didn't expect that their quick meeting last night would be the last time they saw each other before Gu Qingling left for Beijing.
Tomorrow is the Capture the Flag competition, and Shangguan Xiu really hopes that Gu Qingling can go to watch the game, but unfortunately, she is no longer in Beijing.
After leaving the Gu Mansion, Shangguan Xiu didn't want to go home.
He walked to the Imperial Academy and plunged into the library.
He took out a thick stack of Lingwu books and flipped through them quickly.
It would be useless to sharpen his weapon before the battle.
He is now making a last-ditch effort.
This capture-the-flag competition is a perfect opportunity for him to make his mark.
Firstly, he can prove his strength to Tang Yu.
Secondly, he also wants to leave a deep impression on the emperor.
Even if the emperor does not grant him a title, he must at least let the emperor remember him.
In this way, Tang Yu will be remembered in the future.
It will become much easier when it comes to securing titles and official positions for yourself.
It doesn't mean that everything will be fine if you find King Yu as your backer and you can sit back and relax.
Even if King Yu wants to promote himself, you have to create an opportunity for King Yu to promote himself.
This flag capture game can provide him with this opportunity.
He stayed in the library until it was almost time to leave.
As he was walking home, he saw someone stumble out of the tavern in front of him, a young man wearing the uniform of the Imperial Academy.
Shangguan Xiu actually knew this man.
He was the young man who invited him to attend the student gathering.
After the young man left the tavern, he couldn't stand and sat down on the ground.
When he was struggling to get up, three burly men walked out of the tavern.
The three big men stood in front of the young man, each with their hands on their waists, and said in an arrogant voice: "Boy, don't you dare not pay for the wine?
You are here to cause trouble, right?
Do you know who is covering this place, Brother Gui?"
After hearing what they said, Shangguan Xiu almost laughed out loud, but he didn't want to meddle in other people's business and planned to walk by.
But as soon as he passed by three big men, the big man with rolled up sleeves suddenly reached out and grabbed him by the back of his shirt.
"Hey, boy, you found a fucking accomplice."
The big man looked at Shangguan Xiu and then at the young man who was standing up unsteadily, and said with a smile.
The tree wanted to be quiet but the wind was not stopping.
Shangguan Xiu didn't want to cause trouble, but things happened to find his way.
He stood still and said without looking back: "Let go."
The big man was just looking for trouble.
After hearing Shangguan Xiu's words, he laughed strangely, tilted his head and asked: "If I don't let you go, what can you do?"
Shangguan Xiu didn't say any unnecessary nonsense.
Without any warning, he suddenly kicked out and hit the big man in the stomach.
His movement was so fast that the big man didn't even see it clearly, and was kicked by Shangguan Xiu.
He let out a strange cry and rolled onto his back.
The other two big men were furious when they saw this.
They both pulled out a dagger from their lower backs and said with bared teeth to Shangguan Xiu: "Fuck you, I will bleed you today."
As they spoke, the two men And rushed towards Shangguan Xiu, stabbing his chest with two bright daggers.

Shangguan Xiu frowned secretly, these gangsters were quite vicious in their attacks, and they were completely deadly.
He stepped aside to get out of the way of the two daggers, and before the opponent could retract his dagger and attack again, he struck out with a flat slash.
His hand knife hit a big man in the head.
The man groaned, leaned back, and fell heavily to the ground.
The other man was anxious and angry, turned his wrist, held the dagger upside down, and stabbed Shangguan Xiu viciously.
Tianling cover.
This time Shangguan Xiu didn't dodge anymore.
He raised one hand up to support the opponent's knife-holding wrist.
He clenched his fist with the other hand and struck hard from the bottom up. snap This heavy punch hit the big man's chin, breaking several of the opponent's teeth.
Shangguanxiu's hand holding the opponent's wrist pulled back, and took the dagger from the big man's hand, and then he He added another kick and kicked the opponent far away.
In the blink of an eye, all three big men were knocked to the ground by Shangguan Xiu.
Even if he doesn't use spiritual weapons, he can easily deal with these unscrupulous gangsters.
The three big men supported each other and slowly stood up.
They looked at Shangguan Xiu in shock and fear, and said in a trembling voice: "Boy, if you have the guts, please leave your name."
Shangguanxiu sneered, played with the dagger in his hand, and said, "If you don't want to die, get out of here right now."
The three big men trembled at the same time, not daring to stay for a moment longer, and limped away quickly.
Shangguanxiu walked up to the young man, and a pungent smell of alcohol hit his nostrils.
He frowned secretly, pulled the young man up from the ground, and asked: "Are you okay?"
Under his pull, the young man finally stood up unsteadily.
He looked at Shangguan Xiu with dull eyes and asked: "Who are you and why do you want to help me?"
Shangguan Xiuxiao asked: "You don't recognize me anymore" "Who are you" "You were the one who dragged me into the student assembly.
Once in the academy, I helped a fellow student fight off several nobles who bullied him.
After that, you approached me and gave me an invitation."
Shangguan Xiu. reminded.
"Oh" the young man suddenly realized, remembering that such a thing happened.
He smiled and said, "You are a nice person.
You helped the little fat guy last time, and you helped me again this time."
After a pause, he asked: "Is your name Shangguan Xiu?"
Yes, you actually remember my name.
He smiled and nodded.
The young man looked at him deeply and asked, "Your family is in Shangjing."
"No, it's in Zhenjun."
"There is no gathering tonight, why are you out so late?"
the young man asked curiously.
"I rented a house outside the academy, and I'm going home now."
Shangguan Xiu said truthfully.
"So that's it."
The young man thought about it for a while, and then he said, "You."
He said it before he said it, but he immediately took it back.
Shangguan Xiu saw that he couldn't even stand still and didn't know how much he drank, so he said, "I'll take you where I want to go."
"I'm going to the rally."
The young man stopped mid-sentence, shook his head and said, "No need to send me off, you can go home."
Shangguan Xiu gave him a strange look.
The young man spoke very strangely, hesitantly, and always seemed hesitant to speak.
He asked: "Is it okay for you to be alone?"

"I'm fine" "Okay" Shangguan Xiu nodded.
Since everyone said everything was fine, he didn't want to put his warm face on his cold butt.
He let go of the young man's arm and was about to leave when the young man called out again: "Shangguan Xiu" "Yeah."
He turned to look at him in confusion.
"You go home."
The young man looked at him blankly.
Shangguan Xiu was confused by what he said, and he said with a smile: "I want to go home."
"No, I'm not saying go back to your home in Shangjing, I mean, go back to your hometown in Zhenjun County," the young man said quietly.
Shangguan Xiu raised his eyebrows in confusion.
What did he mean by asking him to return to his hometown in Zhenjun?
Before he could ask, the young man had already staggered forward, muttering: "Something big will happen, something big will happen tomorrow." , many people will die, I will die, and you will die too.
If you leave Shangjing now, it may still be too late."
The young man muttered and staggered.
Monk Zhang Er was completely confused as to whether Shangguan Xiu understood what he said.
Many people will die tomorrow, including myself.
What does this mean?
He quickly caught up with the young man, took his arm, and asked: "Please tell me clearly, what is going on?"
The young man turned to look at him, his mouth cracked, he laughed, shook his head and said: "You can't say it.
If you say it, I will die.
By the way, if you don't say it, I will die, but my family can survive.
I Can’t say, I can’t say anything” He seemed to have gone crazy, speaking incoherently, and his face alternated between dark and clear as he spoke.
One moment he was crying, the other moment he was grinning stupidly.
After a while, he looked at Shangguan Xiu blankly and said: "You are a good person, you should not die, you should not be involved, go away, leave Shangjing as soon as possible, and go back to your hometown in Zhenjun County."
After saying that, he shook off Shangguan Xiu's hand holding his arm and walked into an alley.
Shangguanxiu still didn't understand what he was talking about, but he suddenly had an ominous feeling that something unexpected might happen tomorrow.
He followed the young man into the alley, and after walking some distance, he quickly stepped forward and took the young man's arm again, and asked in a deep voice: "Please tell me clearly what will happen tomorrow."
"You really want to know."
The young man looked at him with drunken eyes.
Shangguan Xiu nodded and followed his words: "Even if I die tomorrow, I will die clearly."
"You swear you won't tell anyone" "I swear."
"Okay, I tell you, in tomorrow's capture the flag game, we will."
His next words were so low that Shangguan Xiu couldn't hear them at all.
He involuntarily leaned forward and asked word by word: "What will happen to you tomorrow?"
"Assassin," the young man said slowly
