I have read a lot of articles, but this one is really top of my list now. The characters are perfectly created. I cried over and over after reading the memorial poem written after killing Prince Ning. He did not treat the ancients as fools. The writing is clear and clear for all walks of life. Everyone has their own little thoughts. After reading this article, I feel that my classical Chinese writing is not in vain. It has the potential to be popular. Even short dramas are not worthy of him. The only shortcoming is that there are too few. One hundred chapters a day is not a bad idea.

Li Chaozong caught the recruit's wrist at the right time and said, "Don't panic, do you remember what I told you? The more panic you have, the faster you will die." "Brothers, work harder, the enemy can't hold it anymore." Li Chaozong kicked away an enemy who was rushing towards him, and shouted: "Keep the formation, don't fight alone. Speed up and drive the enemy down." Yang Yanzhao has turned into a bloody man at this moment. Not even a complete corpse can be found within a radius of five meters of him. This kid is holding a Chongmo knife, and there is no way to do it. He just has two moves, horizontal sweep and vertical slash. If someone else could only do this, they would have been killed by a group of people long ago, but he was Yang Yanzhao! A master whose strength can put everyone to shame. With one strike of his sword, he will cut them all off in the middle. At this time, Yang Yanzhao didn't know how many people he had killed. He didn't stop until there were no enemy troops around him. Yang Yanzhao looked around and saw that the enemy troops had been driven off the city wall, so he threw the Chongmo knife aside and took off his visor to reveal his relatively clean face. Seeing that his soldiers were driven down, Qian Yiqian shouted: "Gather your troops and attack with me."

They are all highly recommended books.

The first book, there is no golden finger in ancient times, the person who is being infiltrated has ulterior motives, the male protagonist has no identity and is caught, so he can only pretend to be a nobleman, has a high IQ, and has a strong literary foundation. It is difficult to keep up without any basic knowledge. I can't understand it. It's a pity that I read this book too late, otherwise I would have to go to the author's offline meeting. I am highly recommended by bookworms with more than ten years. Chinese people do not lie to Chinese people. It's not good to scold me⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The second book, the male protagonist's soul has no golden finger. He wanted to trick his father and lie down on his own, but he found out that he was the wrong fake young master [laughing and crying] and was forced to pass the imperial examination for a certain way out. The male protagonist has a high IQ. He does not have a great scholar as his teacher like other novels. After climbing up, he motivates the master every day. He is only over 50, which is a good age for struggle. The detailed description is also good. I highly recommend [like][like][like][like][like] The third book is about a woman disguising herself as a man but with a system. The heroine is super beautiful, but there is a system so there is no low-level version of a woman disguising herself as a man. She has a high IQ and a high degree of intrigue in the imperial examination. It has been completed and it's worth it. [Like][Like][Like][Like][Like]

Subsequently, he encountered a powerful enemy in the Misty Canyon. The two masters faced off at the peak, and the scene of gold and iron clashing came to mind.
