After the night passed, everyone's spirits were restored. Whether it was the old escort, the little escort, the ordinary disciples of the Dragon Gate Escort Office, Nie Laihong, or Cardinal, everyone was brimming with energy.

He went to the Residence of Duke Xin today and got his reward. It was truly a piece of cake. This dart had really come to an end!

When they arrived at the Residence of Letters, the butler went out and greeted them. He said, "The items have been sorted out and are not lacking either. Our prince is very satisfied with your cooperation this time. The Longmen Escort Office lives up to its reputation."

The butler paid the bill and ordered a box to be brought in, but he did not open it in public. He continued, "The king rewarded this to the Longmen Escort Office."

Nie Laihong and the others accepted the compensation, took the silver notes, and took the box as reward.

Back at the restaurant.

Nie Laihong said, "Alright, the item has been delivered. Our Dragon Gate Escort Office has completed our mission!"

After that, everyone received their share of the reward money. Nie Laihong even made his own decision and gave each of them an extra thirty percent.

Nie Laihong was also going to give it to the Cardinal, but he refused. He said that Cardinal wouldn't accept it, as he wanted to help him with his journey. How could he accept such a large sum of money?

Nie Laihong also knew that Cardinal would be stubborn at times, so he stopped trying to persuade him. He just bought Cardinal a brush. He knew that Cardinal Cardinal was a learned man, so he spent several dozen taels of gold to buy the most famous pen in Luoyang City.

Cardinal could not refuse, so he could only accept the brush.

Seeing that Cardinal Cheng had put away the brush, Nie Laihong was beaming with joy. He suggested, "Brother Zhen, it's time to show us some literary talent. Big guy said, right?"

Initially, Cardinal felt that all of his knowledge had been learned from his master, so how could he have any true talent? He only had a little bit of calligraphy, and only had a little bit of understanding.

Just as Cardinal was about to refute his words, the crowd had already started cheering loudly, "Come one, come one, come one …"

Helpless, Cardinal could only wave his brush.

Write:

The horse's hooves are covered with dust,

There was a bit of pride in the world.

Trying to protect the righteous letter,

The value of the Dragon Gate was equivalent to ten thousand gold coins.

After he finished writing, Nie Laihong also didn't quite understand. He just cheered, "Brother Cheng, as expected, you're worthy of this wolf's pen, don't you think so?"

Lin Zhi smiled and replied, "Yes, little brother Zhu Cheng, you can be considered to have mastered both martial arts and literature. If this calligraphy brush is suitable for you, it will definitely not be a loss!"

Cardinal Cheng was also influenced by the atmosphere, "Thank you for your love, brothers. In the future, I will only use this brush to write poems!"

Everyone laughed out loud.

Hearing Cardinal Zhu Cheng's words, Nie Laihong was overjoyed. As long as you like it, the more expensive ones can be bought for you.

Nie Laihong said, "It's June now and Luoyang City is famous for its flowers. A few days later, it will be the Flowers Day. We can wait until after the Flowers Day!"

"Flower Festival?" he asked.

Nie Laihong said, "The Flower Festival is the most special festival in Luoyang City. On this day, everyone will go out to have a fun gathering. The scholars will write poems for everyone. The martial arts people will compete and the women will enjoy the flowers. The holiday season is very grand, so we can still make it, but in the next few days, it will be Flower Day. How about we stay in Luoyang City until after that? "

Nie Laihong turned around and asked the escort team, "So, brothers, what do you think?"

Everyone agreed.

On the sixth day of the sixth month, the Flower Festival had arrived.

Nie Laihong had changed into a set of white clothes within the room and had even intentionally brought a treasured sword as a sword.

Seeing Cardinal walk out, he said, "Brother Cardinal, it's not good for you to go out like this. It's still a holiday, so you have to dress up properly."

Cardinal Cheng said, "Why do you need to dress up for the holidays?"

Nie Laihong looked at him as if he was looking at a fool.

Then he said, "Could it be that you really think that the Flower Festival is a competition of poetry and martial arts? "Let me tell you, actually, this Flower Festival is to see the girls. Appreciating them is much more interesting than admiring them."

Cardinal Cheng laughed involuntarily and said, "Forget it, I just want to join in the fun. I'm too lazy to waste my time talking. I'll just forget about dressing up."

Nie Laihong sighed and said, "An idiot can go dress up for the Flowery Court Festival. Who knows, some beautiful lady might fall in love with you. That would truly be lucky to have a girl like you."

Pausing for a moment, he continued, "Don't tell me that during this Flowery Court, do you know why there are so many literary people swaggering around and sparring with each other? Heh heh, in fact, they went on a trip with those girls just for an excuse. "Why don't you see which man likes to admire flowers."

Cardinal Cheng pondered for a moment. Mm, there was indeed a bit of logic behind it.

Nie Laihong said, "Are you sure you don't want to trade?" "If you don't dress up like a jade tree in the wind, you can just go through the motions for nothing. Don't blame me for not reminding you."

"What's there to regret about? I don't regret anything."

With that, he and Nie Laihong left the house to participate in this grand gathering, the Flower Festival.

Flowers bloom in June. Flower Festival was held at a place called Hundred Flowers Slope in Luoyang City.

The Hundred Flowers Slope is not called the Hundred Flowers Slope because of its beauty.

but because of the Hundred Flowers Valley at the foot of the Hundred Flowers Slope,

Hundred Flowers Lane.

The Hundred Flowers Gallery passes by the Lovers' Courtyard,

Wishing Creek after the lover's court.

By the time Cardinal and Nie Laihong arrived at the Hundred Flowers Slope, they could already feel the splendor of the festival.

Shoulder to shoulder, shoulder to shoulder.

These two words are the best description of the scene.

There were groups of three or five people. The men and women on the hill, regardless of whether they were martial artists, scholarly men, civilians, or street vendors, all had the same goal today — not only to enjoy the flowers, but also to pray.

Legend has it that the Hundred Flowers Valley is the Blossom Valley's happiness of staying here after the Hundred Flowers Fairy fell in love with someone.

Nie Laihong pulled on Cardinal Cheng's sleeve. "Look, look. That little girl is so pretty." Look, that... that slender body, that lovely little face, "he said," Wait, you, Brother Shu! "Ha ha-ha ha, your name is really a good name, old boy.

Cardinal, "..."

Nie Laihong seemed to have found something incredible. "Chest, Brother Shu. Haha, you can, you can."

Cardinal could not be bothered to deal with him.

Instead, he turned his gaze elsewhere.

When he saw what they were arguing about, he listened attentively.

"Flowers with flowers, does anyone have a poem?"

That person deliberately asked loudly, his eyes secretly looking at the woman beside him.

He pretended not to care, but even someone like Cardinal Zhu could tell that he didn't know anything about relationships.

The purpose of reciting poems to antagonize others was only to make them laugh.

The person beside him said, "I have one here, so I'll go ahead and make a fool of myself."

"Up to a hundred flowers on Hundred Flowers Slope."

"Hundred Flowers in the Hundred Flowers Valley."

"A lover stops a lover in a courthouse."

"Wishing River Wishing West."

While reciting the poem, she looked at Xinyi, as if this poem was specially written for her.

What do you want in Wishing Creek? In this life and in the next.

When the Cardinal heard this person recite a poem, he clapped his hands and praised, "Good poem, good poem. This friend here is truly talented, I truly admire you. "

At this time, the several people simultaneously turned their heads to look suspiciously at Cardinal.

Cardinal was at a loss on what to do. Did he say something wrong?
