One river runs thousands of miles across the sea, and two people call the building six hundred years old.

More than twenty miles north of Lian'an County, on the bank of Qishui River, on the top of Luoxia Mountain.

The mountain is less than 100 feet, and there is only a road more than 10 feet wide that goes straight to the top of the mountain. The famous Yuejiang Tower is located on the top of the mountain. This tower was first built more than 600 years ago. It has been repaired several times. Today, the architectural pattern is almost

Occupying the entire mountain top.

Climbing up the stairs and looking far into the distance, you can see the vast water rolling eastward, and you can see everything at a glance, as if you can see all the mist and rain of six hundred years.

Many poems and articles written by the former Wei Dynasty and Daliang Dynasties have been here before, leaving countless well-known masterpieces on the top floor. Among them, the most praised by literati is "Yuejiang Tower" written by Song Duan, a master of the former Wei Dynasty. The other one is "Daliang Tower" written by Song Duan.

During the reign of Emperor Taizong, the late poet Liu Song wrote "Qishui Ode", so it has the reputation of "two records of six hundred years of Hulou".

The structure of Yuejiang Tower is quite complicated. It can be roughly divided into two wings. The main wing faces north and the secondary wing faces west. Both wings can enjoy the scenery of Qishui. The main building is at the corner of the two wings, with four outside and three inside, with a total of seven floors. The top floor

The scenery is particularly good.

At the end of the day, one person and one horse arrived at the foot of Luoxia Mountain.

Gu Fan raised his head and looked at this famous building with a long history, with a faint doubt in his heart.

Now that the identity of the enemy has been determined, the Fang family in Pingjiang is indeed famous, but this is Daliang. They actually chose Yuejiang Tower as the real location. Are they too confident?

On the surface, this place looks easy to defend but difficult to attack. After all, there is only one trail leading up to it. It is surrounded by cliffs on all sides. Even he or Ye Qi cannot climb from a height of 100 feet.

He could jump down safely, let alone climb up. In other words, as long as a group of masters block the way up, even if Pei Yue can mobilize a large number of elites in the shortest time, he may not be able to rush up to rescue Gu.

Fan.

However, this is not a border, but a place in the heart of Daliang. Even if Nan Zhou's careful guard can guard the way up, can he still guard it for the rest of his life?

Although Gu Fan has never been to a battlefield, he knows that this is a place of death in terms of the art of war.

After a short period of contemplation, he tied his mount to a small tree beside the road, then stepped up with the sword hanging from his waist.

The scenery along the road is extremely magnificent. Yuejiang Tower itself is majestic and towering, but you can see green tiles and red couplets, flying eaves and cliffs, red curtains and flying phoenixes, and colorful gates. Everywhere you look is beautiful.

In such beautiful scenery, Gu Fan could not help but feel nervous.

In the eyes of many people, a dandy disciple like him has played with so many women since he was a child, so how could he become obsessed with a courtesan? In fact, he is not amorous. When he was young, he hung out with those rough and tumble men in the world, cuddling with them all day long.

Hong Yicui seems to be a romantic and uninhibited person, but in fact, he is just acting on occasion.

In the ruined temple on the outskirts of Pingyuan Town, Gu Liang's soldiers joked that he was still a baby. Although no one really believed this, Gu Fan had never broken the precepts.

Even now, the relationship between him and Nan Qin is still full of affection but not polite.

Perhaps this seems unbelievable to many people, but Gu Fan just feels that since he has made up his mind to marry Nan Qin, it is the right thing for a man to give her the necessary respect before getting married.

The mountain road was not long, and Gu Fan quickly completed half of it, and he gradually felt that his steps were getting heavier.

He would be able to see Nan Qin soon. Although Gu Fan knew that he could not lose his mind at this time, he still could not restrain himself, and many possible scenes flashed through his eyes.

Is Nan Qin a craftsman sent by the Fang family? In what state will she appear in front of him?

Is it sadness? Decision? Pain? Contempt?

Gu Fan suddenly stopped and then slowly let out a breath.

In any case, since he told Pei Yue that he must face the truth of the matter with his own eyes, and even caused the guy to think hard about it and make two gray hairs, he couldn't give up halfway.

After a while, Gu Fan finally walked into Yuejiang Tower.

To his slight surprise, there seemed to be not many guests in the building today. There were only a dozen or so people scattered in the lobby on the first floor, most of whom were sitting in the seats by the window to enjoy the scenery.

The waiter hurriedly came forward to bow and said with a smile: "Greetings, Sir."

Gu Fan nodded slightly and said bluntly: "My name is Gu Fan."

The waiter was obviously stunned for a moment, then put on a more respectful smile and said: "It turns out to be Mr. Gu. A distinguished guest has booked the elegant apartment on the top floor for you. Please come with me."

Due to time and space constraints, Yuejiang Tower does not have a human-powered elevator like the Qiujiang Chaofeng Tower that Pei Yue visited in Lingzhou, so he can only climb to the seventh floor on foot.

Gu Fan walked calmly and breathed steadily. He looked at the waiter in front of him who was bowing slightly, and suddenly said, "Have you ever studied martial arts?"

The waiter turned his head and said respectfully: "Young man, I don't have that talent. But why, my lord, is it because I don't get out of breath at all when I go up the stairs? To be honest with you, I have to go up the stairs dozens of times every day. After a long time, I will naturally get used to it."

"

Gu Fan nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

When he reached the top floor, he discovered that there was only one room in the so-called elegant house.

The indoor space is very spacious, and the row of bay windows on the north side are all opened, allowing the spring breeze to blow by, and a panoramic view of the roaring river, which is enough to open one's mind.

The waiter invited him to take a seat, served the tea with quick hands and feet, and said with a smile: "Sir, this elegant apartment on the top floor is different from the others. The maids and servants are never allowed to come in to serve. They are all servants brought by the distinguished guests. Then

The distinguished guest has said that he will arrive in the near future, and the time is approaching. If the young master wants to see the scenery alone, I will go down now."

"good."

Gu Fan responded, took off the long sword from his waist and placed it on the table.

The waiter respectfully exited the apartment and gently closed the door.

Gu Fan sat by the window, looking at the magnificent scenery, and gradually calmed down.

About a quarter of an hour later, there was a sound of footsteps outside, and then the door was pushed open.

Gu Fan turned his head and looked around, and saw a handsome young man, luxuriously dressed and without any weapons.

It was also the first time for Fang Yunhu to see Gu Fan, but he was sure of this person's identity after the first glance, because Gu Fan's face was too famous in Kyoto, and coupled with his outfit and temperament, he would definitely not

Admit your mistake.

He said calmly: "You guys stay outside and don't let anyone come in and disturb you."

Then he walked slowly in and sat down opposite Gu Fan.

Gu Fan said calmly: "The two men you sent to Pingyuan Town are dead."

Fang Yunhu poured a cup of fragrant tea to himself and said nonchalantly: "People often say that a hundred years of life, more than 30,000 days and nights, is just a blink of an eye. In fact, for most people, life is not that long.

, some people die in bed at seventy, and some die on the battlefield at twenty, so what does it mean to live for a few more decades? As long as his death is valuable, then his life will not be wasted. "

Gu Fan raised his eyebrows and said slowly: "So you are in a hurry to die?"

Fang Yunhu laughed loudly, stared at Gu Fan and said, "How about making a bet?"

"What to bet on?"

"I will definitely die behind you."

Gu Fan looked at him quietly. In fact, after this person came in alone, he had already determined one thing, that is, no matter how he gave in, or even took the risk to come here, the other party would not let Nan Qin appear easily, because

That is the only trump card in the opponent's hand.

Without this trump card, who could suppress the anger in Gu Fan's heart?

only--

Gu Fan doesn't like to be led by others.

I saw him slap the table with his right hand, and the sword suddenly rose up.

Unsheath.
