The finals are set on the Qinhuai River near Qinhuai Garden, and are made up of several huge colorful ships, and the venue is extremely open.

Tonight, the streets of Jinling City can be said to be empty, and the Qinhuai River is surrounded by crowds. The colorful lights are shining brightly on the colorful boats, as bright as daytime.

A huge couplet was picked up on both sides of the colorful ship. The first couplet was: It looks like the beautiful scenery in the south of the Yangtze River, and it is a beautiful woman forever; the second couplet is: The most romantic jade belt in the silk shirt is, who can pick it; horizontal banner: Choose one out of thousands.

It is not difficult to see from the couplet that Liu Ruru has a very strong tone and has a very high opinion of herself. After all, she is a princess.

However, perhaps only she knows whether Liu Ruru chose a son-in-law through this activity or whether she was short of money for the Ming Dynasty's treasury.

Those who can board the colorful boat to watch the finals are either dignitaries or local gentry, or tycoons in the martial arts world. Therefore, there are only VIP seats on the colorful boat, and there are no seats on the floor or ordinary audience seats that can be used to sit on the ground or carry a small bench. The seats are comfortable rattan chairs, and there are several exquisite fruit snacks on the table table in front of them. A pot of fog mountain Biluochun is also a pretty maid standing behind them to serve them. At this time, the seats on the vip seats are basically full.

The twelve winners who advanced to the finals were arranged on the rostrum, that is, on both sides of the referee's seat, and two of them had a table. At this time, six tables and the rostrum were empty. It was obvious that they had to wait for the audience to arrive before making a brilliant debut.

Lai Changrong missed the registration and regretted it. Isn’t he the legendary civil and military ties? But there is nothing he can do, he can only blame himself for not having this fate.

If you cannot participate in the competition, it is necessary to visit the site in person. Lai Changrong easily got three VIP tickets that could board the lottery ship, just because he was Laodou and Jiangnan Admiral Lai Hanqiang were one of the three judges of the martial arts examination that night.

He was very enthusiastic, but Ximending was indifferent.

Although Lai Changrong was strange about Ximending's performance in the past, he also expressed his understanding. After all, when a family is in trouble, there is no desire to enjoy it.

However, he advised Ximending not to always be immersed in pain and to cheer up. This time, he came to watch the finals to adjust your mood.

Of course, Ximending was not caused by grief. People changed their individuals. In order to play scenes in his previous life, he often went to and from the romantic scenes. He had no objection to going to Qinhuaiyuan for fun, but he was very disgusted with such talent shows. Isn’t it just hype? I didn’t expect that he could meet them even in the Ming Dynasty, and he was initiated by a brothel.

To be honest, Ximending looks down on these so-called courtesans in brothels. To put it nicely, it is called courtesans, but to put it badly, it is called pretending 13. What about courtesans? No matter how courtesans are, you are still a prostitute.

It’s not that Ximending looks down on prostitutes. After all, doing such a lowly profession is forced by life, and it is forced to do it. But since you have done it, don’t pretend to be noble and pretend to be 13.

Where is a brothel? Isn’t it just a place where women sell meat? When you don’t sell meat, you just play the piano and sing a song and want to fool them. That’s why you treat men as fools. When you arrive at a brothel, you should sell meat, otherwise would it be a brothel?

Of course, a large part of the reason why the 13-year-old boys, such as the courtesan, who are not selling their bodies, is that the so-called young men and young heroes are spoiled. In front of the courtesan, they pretend to be gentlemen, five or six people, saying that they appreciate their talents, but who are in the brothel, don’t anyone have a good heart?

Ximending has seen Liu Ruru several times in this life, but he is so popular. He wishes he could cross her circles day and night, but he also pretended to be a literati and elegant man. He seemed to admire her playing the piano and singing, and was not interested in anything else.

In the end, Ximending couldn't resist Lai Changrong's persuasion, so he would come to watch the finals on site, just watch the entertainment program.

However, he also became a little curious about Liu Ruru: the idea of ​​this brothel woman is quite avant-garde.

Ximending was still wearing a gray robe; Yingting Ai was still wearing a purple screen, revealing only a pair of deep blue eyes; Lai Changrong was a little bit sexy and went back to change his clothes. The reddish-brown robe set off his healthy skin color, making him look more youthful and energetic.

As expected, as he boarded the ship, he immediately caused a lot of commotion, and most of the people on the ship recognized him.

The first one is to arrange the guests who greeted the VIPs on board, the madam of the Pinxianglou and the "god sister" of Ximending.

"Xi...Ximen...Host...Host...Host...Host...Host???" The madam seemed to see Ximending as if she saw a ghost, with her eyes wide open and her mouth wide open, and she almost fainted from shock.

Ximending smiled faintly, his eyes quickly swept around the audience and saw several acquaintances.

The first thing he saw was Han Lihu, who was taller than the people around him, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist. He also saw Ximending. His eyes lit up, but he did not get up to greet him. Instead, he turned his head and whispered to the people around him. The person next to him was Yu Wenlong's second son, Yu Wen Yang. Seeing that he was smiling, it was obvious that his brother Yu Wen Fei was not dead.

The other few are the son of Tan Xiaowang, the governor of Liangjiang, Tan Jialuo; the son of Chen Youde, the governor of Jiangning, Chen Rishang; the other is the disciple of Wudang Sect, Hao Chu, who had met in Taohuaju in Hangzhou. When Ximen Xiaotian was there, he had been to Xuanwuzhuang with his master Taoist Lingxu, and had met Ximending several times, but he was just a general friendship.

But Tan Jialuo and Chen Rishang were Lai Changrong's enemies. Ximending was close to Lai Changrong, so naturally he caught a cold in Ximending.

Lai Hanqiang was the admiral of Jiangnan, in charge of the military affairs of a province, and directly belonged to the Ministry of War, which means that the so-called military power belongs to the central government. Although Tan Xiaowang is the highest administrative officer in the local area, and his superiors are stronger than Lai Han and his superiors, he cannot transfer the army. Since the two belong to different factions, Lai Hanqiang basically did not accept the control, and the relationship between the two has always been not very harmonious, which has also led to the fact that no one is borne by the two princes, and no one looks down on each other.

Chen Youde is a direct subordinate of Tan Xiaowang, so his son Chen Rishang naturally formed an alliance with Tan Jialuo.

Both groups of people are one of the most powerful people in Jiangsu. In the past, they all gathered a group of officials, walking birds and fighting dogs, drinking and having fun, and they inevitably met each other frequently. Bumps and bumps are inevitable. After a while, both sides regarded them as enemies.

At this time, they also saw Ximending, and their eyes were shocked, but then they showed disdain and turned their heads aside.

Hao Chu was not too surprised when he saw Ximending. He seemed to have learned that Ximending was alive, but he just nodded to Ximending and stopped looking at him.

Perhaps Hao Chu's thoughts represent the thoughts of most people in the world. When Xuanwuzhuang was destroyed, everyone was full of righteous indignation, regretting Xuanwuzhuang and Ximen Xiaotian. But for Ximending, whether he died or lived, it was my business. If you die, there are few playboys and prodigal sons in the world, so be glad; if you are alive, show mercy on your experience, but I am ashamed to be with you.

Ximending certainly didn't care about the performance of these people. He turned his head to the madam who was still not shocked, saying, "Sister, don't you know me anymore?" Since he is Ximending, he should try to treat people he knows as well as before.

"Ah--you... are you...you...you...you are still alive?" The madam slowly came to her senses, but she still didn't believe it.

"I was almost killed in the Zhengxianglou that day, but I was rescued later..."

"Mom Wang, okay, let's talk about it later if you have the chance. Don't let us stand and take us to sit down first." Lai Changrong couldn't help but push the madam next to him and said with a smile.

"Oh--Yes, yes, I'm happy to see Mr. Ximen still alive?" The madam looked at Lai Changrong, and her charming eyes almost made Yingting love to vomit.

But as she said, she twisted her weight and took several people to the seat enthusiastically.

Ximending sat in the middle, Yingtingai and Lai Changrong sat on both sides of him. As soon as the three of them sat down, the maid standing behind them rushed up to make tea for them.

After drinking half a cup of tea, a young woman walked out from behind the rostrum. She was Liu Ruru's personal maid, Xiao Lan, one of the hosts of this event. She was the maid who was the master, and she was also very popular.
