“Respected teacher.”

“It has been more than a month since the disciple left the bamboo forest, and he misses his teacher very much. He wishes his teacher well.”

　　”The day before yesterday, the younger brother fell into a cognitive barrier so I was not able to reply to the teacher in time. The disciple has sinned.”

　　”Teacher, don’t be anxious! The junior brother has sobered up from the cognitive barrier, and his spirit is worry-free. When I see the atmosphere of the younger brother, it seems to be different from that before he got the cognitive barrier. If it was said that he was like a boat on the river in this world before, now it is like he is wandering in the middle of the river. The disciple thinks it must have something to do with the cognitive barrier of the junior brother.”

　　”The day before yesterday, Liu Jingzhuang, a great scholar in the brothel, made a relationship with our junior brother and invited him to visit the brothel. The disciples accompanied him in secret, but the junior brother did not do anything out of the ordinary. He didn’t look sideways, he didn’t stick to the call of his body, and retained the style of a gentleman.”

　　”During the period, there were mediocre talents from the Fu Ci Club, who talked about the distinction between lyrics and music, and praised and derogated music. In Zhongjing, there was a singer named Luo Hongnu, who was being put in a bad spot. The junior brother stood up in anger, saying that there are elegant Qu. Of which he penned–“

　　”The first song “Autumn Scenery”, the second song “Farewell”, and the third song “Yearning” were all made on the spot, and our youngest made this disciple amazed.”

　　”These three Qu are enclosed with the letter.”

　　”Yesterday, the junior brother came to the door and asked if he could sell the entire copy of “Laughing in the Wind” at a low price. The disciple has discussed the pros and cons with the junior brother. However, the disciple was worried about disturbing the junior brother’s Taoism, so he did not mention the fourth road to heaven or the battle for the preservation of heaven. Does the teacher I did the right thing?”

　　”In addition, the younger brother came up with the method of ‘supplement’, which the disciple thinks is excellent. According to the idea of ​​the junior brother, after the book is finished, ordinary people do not need to spend money to buy the whole book, they only need to collect the supplement and the newspaper! Regarding the details of the supplements, it is enclosed here!”

　　”While talking, the younger brother seems to be quite confident in the follow-up articles. It seems that after “Laughing in the Wind”, the younger brother still has good articles!”

　　”Tomorrow’s supplementary issue will be released for the first time, and the younger brother will release the content of “Laughing in the Wind” five chapters at once. The disciple has obtained the manuscript and is now sending it to the teacher.”

　　”For these five chapters, there is a school of Hengshan, composed of women, which seem to have signs of following Buddhism, but they are not Buddhist priestesses, they are called nuns instead. Moreover, they don’t use Buddhist techniques, but use martial arts. Disciples can’t think about it. I ask the teacher to clarify my doubts.”

　　”The rest are fine.”

　　”The disciple retreats and pauses.”

　　…

　　Royal Palace.

　　”Your Majesty, Your Majesty!” Hou An trotted all the way and rushed into the imperial study.

　　Ye Heng’s eyes lit up and asked, “Have you got it?”

　　Hou An took out a thick stack of manuscripts from his arms: “Your Majesty, I got it. This is the original copy that the Lord of Wan An copied for the academy. There are five chapters in total, and there are not many words!”

　　”Hahaha, hurry up and bring it. I’ve been holding back for two days. I must watch it today! By the way, are you sure that the kid has only five chapters, and he hasn’t saved any more manuscripts?”

　　”Reporting back to your majesty, according to the information from the Zhenxuan Department, these five chapters were written on the spot, and it really doesn’t look like there are manuscripts on file. Should I summon the Lord of Wan An to the palace?”

　　Ye Heng was a little moved, but then he waved his hand: “Forget it, don’t scare the child. Just look at what you have, otherwise, the literary and political ministers will talk about me again. Quickly, arrange for the imperial kitchen to get some fine wines and delicacies, this story, it must be paired with some good drink.”

　　”Yes!”

　　…

　　Xu Laoqi is a watchman of Daxuan. He has been conscientious for 20 years and has never made a mistake. Now he is at the silver gong level. He no longer needs to walk around the streets in person. He only needs to periodically check if those in charge of the bronze gong roaming the street are punctual or lazy.

　　Getting up from Miss Fuxiang’s boudoir, Xu Laoqi put on his clothes, walked out of the small courtyard, and rode on the old mare that couldn’t turn into a demon to start patrolling the city.

　　Step, step, step…

　　At this time, the day has just broken, and the streets should be deserted. Most of them are businessmen who set up stalls. It will take another half an hour before the streets become lively…

　　Xu Laoqi liked this time the most.

　　At this time, Zhongjing is quiet, deserted, pedestrians… gathered?

　　What the hell! What’s the situation?

　　Xu Laoqi was stunned and rubbed his eyes. Making sure he was not dazzled.

　　Why are there so many people in a circle on the street?

　　Each of these people has dark eyes, haggard spirit, and looks like they haven’t slept all night.

　　They want to group up around a brothel?

　　Xu Laoqi was about to step forward to ask what was going on, when suddenly the crowd looked at him, and then someone shouted, “They’re here!”

　　Everyone jumped up and rushed towards Xu Laoqi. Xu Laoqi was shocked, as if he was facing thousands of horses, he quickly grabbed the old mare and turned the horse’s head to escape. Unexpectedly, the crowd ran past him! A series of Confucian and Confucian war poems rang in his ears.

　　”A little arrogance, a thousand miles of joy!”

　　”The silver saddle shines on the white horse, like a shooting star!” Read the most updated version of this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at – “ ”

　　”The monkeys on both sides of the strait can’t stop crying, the light boat has passed ten thousand mountains!”

　　”The spring breeze is proud of the horse’s hoof, and I can see all the Chang’an flowers in one day!”

　　Xu Laoqi restrained his horse’s reins at this time, and it was like a standing reef in the rushing crowd. He looked in the direction of the crowd rushing and saw a team of carriages slowly approaching.

　　On the wall of the carriage was a large character “Chen”, and a flag was hung on the front of the carriage with the word “Wan An” embroidered on it.

　　Xu Laoqi recognized the team.

　　That’s The Lord of Wan An Chen Luo’s convoy specially to pick up the newsboys!

　　…

　　The other sales points all over the central capital were also surging at this time.

　　The other academies have prepared for a long time, they had not only placed the same two students at the sales point before, but also sent another six students to be responsible for the protection of each sales point.

　　Some key points are even led by Fuzi realm masters!

　　But even so, the enthusiasm of Zhongjing could not be suppressed.

　　No one knows how many copies there are of the supplement, or whether each copy really contains five chapters.

　　And this is the first release!

　　When you buy then you’re earning!

　　Three cents of silver, whoever doesn’t buy it already lost!

　　The scene is becoming more and more uncontrollable!

　　…

　　Almost at the same time, people who do wake up early also found that the teahouses that hold the wake up early in Zhongjing have changed their entries one after another.

　　Some will talk about the first chapter, some will talk about the second chapter, and others will talk about the third…

　　Only the North Wind Tower has a special archway, and a banner hangs down, and the dragon flying and phoenix dance on it reads——

　　”Laughing in the Wind”, episodes 1 to 7.

　　Today’s special!

　　The hot-selling scene did not last long.

　　It was an automatic sold-out!

　　The 100,000 copies of the first issue of the supplement were snapped up in a cup of tea’s time.

　　The people who grabbed it were satisfied, they ordered some breakfast food at will and spread it out to read it.

　　And those who didn’t grab it, or those who didn’t know Yawen, all ran towards Beifeng Building!

　　It is said that the entrance fee for Beifeng Building has been boosted to a hundred taels!

　　…

　　The morning light is coming, so sit back and enjoy the article!

　　It wasn’t until the story unfolded slowly that everyone finally understood that the real protagonist of “Laughing in the Wind” was not the rich boy Lin Pingzhi, whom they sympathized with, but in the second episode, it’s the senior brother who the little junior sister was thinking about.

　　In the second episode, according to the identity of the second senior brother Lao Denuo, Lin Pingzhi imagined the senior brother as an old and widowed alcoholic.

　　But in the third chapter, the name of the big brother was shouted out loudly by a very tall old nun, Ding Yi. It turned out that this senior brother’s real name was Linghu Chong.

　　As the story unfolded, Liu Zhengfeng, Qu Yang, Yue Buqun, Mu Gaofeng, and Tian Boguang appeared one after another. But only Linghu Chong was without a trace. Immediately, the little nun Yilin appeared and described the ins and outs of the incident, she expounds on Linghu Chong’s “Five Sacred Sword Sect, Same Spirit and Connecting Branches” of the meaning of saving people and borrowing Lao Denuo’s wisdom.

　　With a long sword hanging from his waist, his face is pale, he is in his twenties, and is called young and handsome by the courtesan, Tian Boguang!

　　So far, Linghu Chong’s image has been completed, but at the end of compiling all these information, Yilin brought the news of Linghu Chong’s death.

　　He is already dead!

　　The people of Daxuan have never seen such a scene that goes back and forth. They even forgot to eat breakfast to watch it all at once.

　　…

　　As the story develops later, Qu Yang and Liu Zhengfeng’s identities of good and evil confidants are revealed, the moonlit night is barren, and the two of them play the zither and flute ensemble, and finally touched the point of the title “Laughing in the Wind”.

　　Everyone couldn’t help laughing when they saw “The buttocks are backwards, the geese falling in the flat sand”.

　　Seeing Linghu Chong molesting the little nun Yilin, they smiled knowingly again.

　　Seeing Linghu Chong and Yue Lingshan’s “Chongling Swordsmanship”, it was simply romantic to the extreme, and everyone felt warm in their hearts.

　　As for Lin Pingzhi being recruited by Yue Buqun…

　　It’s not the protagonist anyway, it’s just good to know.

　　Time passed little by little.

　　Morning, noon, afternoon!

　　Everywhere in the capital city, there are people standing or sitting, holding a thick stack of newspapers, motionless.

　　Finally, the story comes to the end of the seventh chapter.

　　Yue Buqun punished Linghu Chong by asking him to meditate on a cliff!

　　…

　　”F*ck! It’s done?”

　　”Meditate on the cliff, and then what?”

　　”It’s obviously five chapters, how can it be read so fast?”

　　”What happened to him and Yilin? How will he deal with Yue Lingshan?”

　　”Why only five chapters! It’s short and powerless!”

　　”Hmph, the shame of the literati!”

　　”Agreed, shame on the literati!”
