......

When the voice of the leader of the palace examination was heard throughout Yanjing City, several figures in black clothes flashed quickly at the door of the Dianmo Building.

The figure flashed by, as if entering a no-man's land, and went straight to the top floor of the Dianmo Building.

In a classically decorated room on the top floor of the Dian Mo Building, a woman in a black emerald cigarette shirt sits behind a bookcase, holding a book in her hand.

Compared to last night, there was nothing on the bookcase now, and it was empty.

"Lord!" A voice came from the door of the room, and then a maid in a black dress pushed the door open.

"What's wrong?" asked the woman in the black emerald cigarette shirt faintly.

"Your Majesty, Fang Gongzi and Nangong Hao are side by side to test the leader!" the maid in the black dress immediately bowed down and replied.

"Tie for the top spot?" the woman in the black emerald cigarette shirt was obviously slightly surprised.

"Yes, the emperor's list has been issued, and now it has spread all over Yanjing City, and the news has reached the four gates. The maid in the black dress affirmed.

The woman in the black emerald cigarette shirt nodded, looked out the window, and a trace of brilliance flashed in her eyes: "I really didn't expect that this shameless guy could be tied for the top spot with Nangong Hao...... For his sake, have even the unchanging rules of the palace examination been changed?"

"Lord, what now?"

"Go ahead with the plan. ”

"But...... Lord, Dianmo Building is the old master's ten years of hard work, and it is also the gathering center of intelligence in the entire Yanjing City, do you really want to ......" The goddess in the black dress changed slightly, and she wanted to stop talking.

"Are you questioning my decision?" the woman in the black emerald cigarette shirt looked at the maid in the black dress, her eyebrows furrowed slightly.

"The subordinates don't dare!" When the maid in the black dress heard this, she immediately knelt on the ground and didn't dare to say anything more.

"Within a quarter of an hour. All personnel must leave Beijing. ”

"Yes!"

......

Yanjing City, in front of the Zhaoxuan Palace, the autumn wind blows, and there is silence.

Saint Lin Mubai's gaze swept over the talents below again, a trace of anger obviously rose on his face, and the momentum on his body rose again.

"Where is Fang Zhengzhi?!"

"Your Majesty. The minister got the news that Lord Fang lingered in the land of fireworks last night, and a top brand in the Dianmo Building had a one-night spring supper, and now I am afraid it will be ......" At this time, a minister finally stood up.

"How is it?" Saint Lin Mubai's eyes were slightly dark.

"I'm afraid I haven't gotten up yet. ”

"Nonsense!"

"I don't think Fang Zhengzhi hasn't gotten up yet, and besides, I think it's very likely that Fang Zhengzhi is no longer in the Dian Mo Building now!"

Immediately afterwards, a figure also walked out of the talents.

Dressed in an ink dress, he gently holds a fan in his hand.

"Yan Xiu?!"

The talents soon discovered that the figure that stood up was Yan Xiu.

The time of wrath. The entrance of the entire Zhaoxuan Hall was filled with an aura of oppression, and no one would touch the holy wrath at such a time, but Yan Xiu still stood up.

Because, he is Yan Xiu.

"Young Master Yan, you and Fang Zhengzhi are friends, we all know this, but. This doesn't mean that you can speak vain in front of the Holy Lord and cover it up!" the minister saw Yan Xiu stand up. There was a slight surprise on his face, but there was not much surprise.

The other ministers also looked at Yan Xiu at this moment, and they all shook their heads slightly.

"I believe that Fang Zhengcheng is not a person who will be late. Yan Xiu was not shaken by the expressions of the ministers, and there was only a look of affirmation in his expression.

"Huh...... Yan Gongzi, you have to say something else. We may not be able to refute it, but if you want to say that Fang Zhengcheng will not be late, do you think we will believe it?"

"That's it, Yan Gongzi, we all know that you have a good heart. But Fang Zheng's late arrival is not once or twice, right?"

"Young Master Yan shouldn't forget the day when Fang Zheng went to the palace with his sword in his hand, right?"

When the ministers heard Yan Xiu's words, they all laughed, Fang Zhengzhi would not be late, and after coming out of the Holy Heaven World, he received the holy edict, but he said that he was eating steamed buns outside, which made the civil and military officials wait for half an hour.

Until now, no minister has dared to forget this.

"Yan Gongzi and Fang Zhengzhi are friends, since Yan Gongzi said that Fang Zhengzhi is not in Dianmo Building now, what evidence is there?"

What happened on the day of the horse race hunt, Fang Zhengzhi offended him well.

Of course, this was not the main reason why he took the risk to stand up today, the main reason was that he knew a holy decree in Fang Zhengzhi's hand.

It was a holy order for Fang Zhengzhi to enter the Ministry of Rites.

He didn't know why the Holy Lord had arranged for Fang Zhengzhi to enter the Ministry of Rites.

However, he knew that if Fang Zhengzhi really entered the Ministry of Rites, then only God knows what would happen in this Ministry of Rites.

"No credentials!" Yan Xiu shook his head.

"Since there is no evidence and no certificate, although Yan Gongzi is a prince, he has not entered the court as an official now, so he does not wait for the will to stand up in vain, is it a little inappropriate in terms of etiquette?"

Yan Xiu was silent, of course he knew that his actions just now were inappropriate, and even if he talked about it, it could be regarded as disturbing the Holy Hearing.

But can he not stand up?

No.

Therefore, he stood up and stood up regardless of the consequences.

"It's okay!" Saint Lin Mubai looked at Yan Xiu, who had fallen silent, and waved his hand gently: "Yan Shi's nephew and Fang Zhengzhi have always had a deep relationship, I have already heard of it, and today Yan Shi's nephew stood up, I am not surprised." ”

"The emperor's holy virtue, the grace of the world!" The Ministry of Rites Shangshu immediately complimented, and then looked at Yan Xiu again: "Young Master Yan, Your Majesty is benevolent, I have forgiven your sin of disrespect, please step back first." ”

Yan Xiu looked at the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, and then at the Holy Lord Lin Mubai on the dragon chair, the mountain and river Qiankun fan in his hand tightened, and a resolute light flashed in his eyes.

"The minister asked him to look for Fang Zhengzhi now, he must have had an accident, so he won't come!"

As soon as the words came out, the civil and military officials were also slightly stunned. They didn't expect Yan Xiu to dare to be so ignorant for the sake of Fang Zheng?

"Young Master Yan, although you are a Shijue, but this is the Zhaoxuan Palace, you have to remember your current identity, you are a candidate who came to listen to the list!"

"Fang Zheng's things have their own holy cultivation, Yan Gongzi should do his own thing. ”

"Please also ask Yan Gongzi to go back!"

The civil and military officials were stunned for a moment. They are all strongly persuasive, they don't want to look at a young man with a great future and ruin it like this.

Today, Long Yan is already angry, and the Shengshang understands Yan's face in his heart, and has already opened the golden mouth to forgive, and if he asks for it, he is afraid that he will have to suffer for himself.

"The grass people also feel that Fang Zhengzhi will not come for no reason!" At this time, a voice also sounded again, and. It is even closer to the civil and military officials.

The eyes of the civil and military officials were all fixed.

In an instant, they all focused on a figure at the gate of the Zhaoxuan Palace.

Dressed in white, with a calm face.

He is Nangong Hao, the leader of the literary examination this time, Nangong Hao, has no official and no lord, but when he stood at the door of the Zhaoxuan Hall and said this, the civil and military officials were silent.

As for the reasons for the silence.

It is because the civil and military officials do not understand the purpose of Nangong Hao's words.

If Yan Xiu spoke uprightly, it was naturally a understandable thing. But Nangong Hao, why? Aren't they competing against each other?

"Imperial Forest Guard!" Saint Lin Mubai's brows furrowed. looked at Yan Xiu, and then at Nangong Hao, who was not far away from him, with a calm face.

"In!"

"Go to the ink building and put the square upright...... Bring it back!"

"Yes!"

With a reply order, several golden rays of light also flew out from outside the Zhaoxuan Palace, which were five guards wearing golden armor, and the speed was extremely fast. Head straight to the main entrance of the palace.

Yan Xiu looked at the Imperial Forest Guard who was speeding away.

I wanted to say something more, but I didn't speak again, but just bowed to the saint, and prepared to retreat to my original position.

"Nephew Yan Xian doesn't have to stand back, come to the front. Saint Lin Mubai's face seemed to ease a little at this moment. He beckoned gently to Yan Xiu.

"Come to the front?"

"What does the emperor mean by this?"

"Isn't it announcing now......?

The civil and military officials were all a little puzzled when they heard the words of the Holy Lord Lin Mubai, and then, a possibility quickly flashed in their minds.

Next.

The expressions of the civil and military officials who looked at the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites were somewhat strange.

Because, they all guessed who the third class of the palace examination was, if Yan Xiu only had one hereditary title, it would naturally be nothing.

But if Yan Xiu won the third place in the palace exam.

Then the identity and status are completely different.

When the other talents heard the words of the saint Lin Mubai, they were all also surprised, the emperor asked Yan Xiu to come forward, did he mean that Yan Xiu got the third place in the palace exam?

How is this possible!

Yan Xiu doesn't seem to have received the Holy Edict either!

"The third class in this palace examination, Yan Xiu!" Saint Lin Mubai looked at Yan Xiu in the distance, and a kind smile appeared on his face.

"It's really Yan Xiu?!"

"Yan Xiu is the third in the literary examination of the palace examination!"

"It's incredible, isn't it? Three people who didn't receive the holy edict won the top three in the temple exam?"

All the talented people were shocked, if the biggest surprise in everyone's hearts before the announcement was Nangong Hao, Fang Zhengzhi and Yan Xiu did not receive the holy edict.

Then, after the announcement of the list, the three of them won the top three in the palace examination, which is definitely an accident in an accident.

This is simply another village!

Wu Feng's face was completely white at this moment, Yan Xiu won the third rank?!

If there was any blow to Wu Feng that was the biggest, it was definitely not Nangong Hao and Fang Zhengzhi who grabbed him first, but Yan Xiu won the third place.

Once upon a time, when he was reading aloud with a scroll, Yan Xiu was just a baby in front of him who could only cry.

Once upon a time, when he easily knocked down a small tree with one palm, Yan Xiu was still sitting on the stone bench with a small bowl, looking at himself with envy.

Once upon a time, he used to be proud to be able to worship under the Four Holy Gates, and his favorite thing to do was to ask during the gathering of the two families: "Young Master Yan, what do you feel about reading?"

"Young Master Yan, how is the entry? Is there a breakthrough? Do you want to give you some guidance for my brother?"

"Young Master Yan, you can't make progress in cultivation, you have to work steadily step by step!"

More than a decade has passed.

The former baby, the former child, the boy who was once reprimanded by himself so silently that he trampled himself hard in this palace test, and trampled on his feet mercilessly.

Why is this happening!

Didn't he receive the edict?!

Defy!

Wu Feng was not convinced.

However, the reality was that Yan Xiu walked to his side at this time, and then bowed lightly: "Chen Yan Xiu, thank you for your grace!"

"The third class in the palace examination, Yan Xiu!"

"The third class in the palace examination, Yan Xiu!"

"The third class ...... the palace examination and literary examination"

With Yan Xiu's gratitude, one voice after another also echoed in the palace, and it was transmitted to the main gate of the palace in an instant, and then by the golden armor guards to the four gates of Yanjing City.

The entire Yanjing City was boiling again.

"Yan Xiu is the third class?"

"Yan Xiu is only sixteen years old this year!"

"That's amazing!"

Just when the Yanjing City was talking about this palace test, the most lively street in the Yanjing City, the place of fireworks in Bali, really emitted a wisp of fireworks!

The sky-high flames rose violently, reflecting the red sun in the early morning, dyeing the entire Yanjing City with a layer of bright red.

......

At the entrance of the Zhaoxuan Palace, the Holy Lord Lin Mubai looked at Yan Xiu standing in front of him with satisfaction, although Yan Xiu was a little impulsive just now.

However, this did not affect his love for Yan Xiu.

However, at this time, a golden light came from a distance quickly, and in a moment it arrived at the door of the Zhaoxuan Palace, and quickly knelt on the ground.

"Your Majesty, the fire in the Dianmo Building has been reduced to ashes!"

“......”

"What?!There's a fire in the Ink Building!"

"How could there be a sudden fire!"

"What's going on, Dianmo Building has been open in Yanjing City for so many years, and it has never caught fire!"

When the ministers heard the words of the golden guard, it was impossible to say that there was no trace of surprise on their faces, and the most important thing was that this matter was too coincidental, right?

Saint Lin Mubai's expression also changed slightly, he reprimanded Yu Fang Zheng for being bold and daring not to listen to the list, but he did not have the idea of putting Fang Zheng to death in his heart.

Otherwise, his holy decree would not have used the word "belt", but directly ordered to be arrested!

"The Ink Building caught fire and turned into ashes!" Saint Lin Mubai's brows furrowed tightly, it was definitely not so simple for such a thing to happen at such a time.

The other talents were also extremely shocked, after all, many of them had been soaked in the ink building for the past few days, and there was a fire in such a graceful place.

It's a pity.

Unlike the shock of the others, Yan Xiu's face was obviously a little pale, and the fingers holding the Shanhe Qiankun fan in his hand were pinched so much that there was a clicking sound.

"Ahh (To be continued.) )
