Chapter 50: The Canal Cup Recruitment

After a lot of delay in the Jin Dynasty, after the experience and assessment of the Fire Wheel Clan, Shu Mingxuan took a short rest, then said goodbye to everyone, and then carried out the Sui Dynasty enchantment trial.

When he came to the Sui Dynasty, Shu Mingxuan looked around and saw that he was on the side of a big canal, with people coming and going, and it was very lively. Not far away, there is a dragon boat docked, presumably Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty traveled here.

Shu Mingxuan walked up to a dragon boat guard, and before he could speak, the dragon boat guard asked, "Your Excellency is here to participate in the Canal Cup Recruiting Talents?" Lord Dugu City is presiding over the Recruiting Talents Conference on the dragon boat, regardless of status, you can participate by paying an entrance fee of 5,000 taels. ”

"It's so expensive...... It's too dark. ”

"Our brothers are not waiting for you poor boys in vain......" the dragon boat guard glanced blankly, "cough, I'm a little thirsty, why don't you go and get me some old osmanthus to moisten my throat." ”

......

"Osmanthus brewing is here, clearing heat and reducing fire, detoxifying and laxative, the best drink in summer. Shu Mingxuan said with a smile.

After drinking it, the dragon ship guard frowned, "Why doesn't this taste right?" ”

"No, in order to better help you detoxify, I bought a lot of crotons with my blood. Shu Mingxuan said sinisterly.

"Ahh......h You, you, you...... You wait for me!" the dragon boat guard dropped his weapon and ran quickly to the latrine.

"Hahaha, I was deceived and saved 5,000 taels of admission fees~" Shu Mingxuan covered his mouth and smiled.

Just as he was swaggering about to get on the boat, there was a loud shout behind his back, which made his scalp tingle.

"Stop!"

"What a carelessness, how did I forget that there is more than one guard. Shu Mingxuan was very helpless.

"Don't you know that we will take over the shift at any time? Hmph, if you want to get on the dragon boat, go buy ten catties of osmanthus brew first!"

"This ...... Let's solve the problem with our fists!" Shu Mingxuan's eyes became fierce.

"You don't need me to make a move, it's more than enough for Yuhe to deal with you!" the dragon ship guard smiled slightly.

I saw the dragon boat guard wave his hand, and Shu Mingxuan came to the gladiatorial arena and saw the face of Yuhe, which turned out to be a cow.

Shu Mingxuan took out a plate of medium-rare steak and ate it with relish in front of Yuhe, who wailed and received 1,000 points of damage.

Yuhe breathed at Shu Mingxuan, who fainted from the smoke and received 1250 damage.

Shu Mingxuan took out a piece of red cloth and waved it in front of Yuhe, Yuhe's eyes turned red and hit the red cloth, but he hit the pillar, his head broke and he was bleeding, and he was injured by 3,000 points.

Yuhe took out a steak bill, Shu Mingxuan took a closer look, and then touched his wallet, so his eyes rolled and he fell to the ground, suffering 3570 injuries.

At the end of the game, Yuhe defeated Shu Mingxuan.

......

"Hahaha, admit defeat. The Dragon Ship Guard laughed.

"I didn't expect it...... I lost to a cow! I'd better be honest and buy wine and bribe you. Shu Mingxuan was very helpless.

So, Shu Mingxuan went to a nearby inn again and said, "Boss, let's have another ten catties of osmanthus brewing." ”

"Ouch, guest officer, it's really unfortunate that the osmanthus brew in the small shop has just been sold out. ”

"You haven't even sold any wine, what kind of store are you opening, I'm in a hurry to attend the recruitment conference. ”

"Those who are soldiers are taking advantage of the opportunity to scrape oil and water? How can they drink good wine, why don't I teach you a way. The innkeeper raised an eyebrow.

"It's not going to teach me to be a fake bar......"

"I still have some ordinary wine here, you go pick some osmanthus flowers, and then ......" the innkeeper smiled.

"Hehe, smile and think about it. ”

......

"Why are there still petals floating in this wine?" wondered the dragon ship guard.

"You smell it, the sweetness of the wine is woody, and the fragrance of osmanthus is woody. ”

After drinking it, the dragon ship guard said, "It tastes pretty good." But it doesn't look like an aged brew at all. ”

Shu Mingxuan couldn't help muttering in his heart: "Nonsense, it's obviously the petal I just threw in." But he still said with a smile: "Now it is popular to have the original flavor and freshly brewed, you must know it if you are so tasteful." ”

"Yes, of course I do. Okay, okay, I'll get this one for you. As he spoke, the dragon ship guard took out a piece of cloth and handed it to Shu Mingxuan.

Shu Mingxuan looked at it: "This ...... Abstraction?

The dragon ship guard glanced at him: "What do you know, look for it according to the direction of this map, and you can find the token to participate in the recruitment meeting." ”

"Is this a map?"

"yes, those tokens are too heavy, so I'll bury them and tell you to dig them yourself. Haha, be smart. ”

"Clever, it's just a Hugh brother alive. Shu Mingxuan complained.

"After taking the token, you can hand it over to Lord Dugu City and participate in the recruitment conference. ”

On the map given by the Dragon Ship Guard, a circle, a fork, and a fork are drawn around a circle......

Shu Mingxuan searched the shore according to his own understanding. When he found the token, he also picked up a strange fragment on the side, which was very sharp. Shu Mingxuan picked it up carefully, and when he saw the pattern on it, he was very surprised, because the pattern on it was actually the Dragon King Pu Lao.

I don't know what this fragment is guiding, but now is not the time to delve deeper, now that I have obtained the token, I will go to the recruitment conference first.

When I came to the dragon boat, the Naxian Conference had not yet begun, and after a while, I heard Dugucheng say: "This Canal Cup Naxian Conference is divided into two civil and military games, and the winner will receive a bounty of 50,000 yuan and give the position of the former commander of the emperor." ”

"High-ranking official Houlu, I'm here too!" Shu Mingxuan said excitedly.

Dugu City: "The first one, the literary test." There are 2 clues hidden on the dragon ship, which together point to an answer. The winner is the first to find 2 clues and deduce the answers. ”

Shu Mingxuan secretly excitedly said: "Puzzle games, I'm the best at them." ”

"Remember, all clues are limited to the dragon boat, and the contestants can now start looking. Dugu Cheng reminded again.

As Dugucheng's voice fell, several people in the crowd of onlookers took action. Shu Mingxuan found the first clue at the dragon boat head, and saw eight small characters engraved on it - standing is also a line, and sitting is also a line. The second clue is at the big banner of the Sui Dynasty, and there are eight small characters written on the flag - lying is also line, line is also line.

"Standing is also walking, sitting is also walking, lying is also walking, walking is also walking...... Haha, the answer is fish. Shu Mingxuan couldn't wait to find Dugu City and said the answer.

Dugucheng was surprised: "You are so fast, you are actually one step faster than the son of Li Gang, the secretary of the ministry." ”

"Hmph, in fact, I am a representative of the Chinese class in the second grade of primary school. And what about the martial arts test questions?"

"There's been a swarm of rats on the deck lately, so go get rid of them. Dugucheng said.

"Guinea pig, that's too easy. ”

Dugucheng reminded: "Those white rats seem to be stained with some evil spirit, their teeth are terrifying, and even the guards are not their opponents. ”

Since this is the case, Shu Mingxuan is going to receive the teaching. Accompanied by the examiner, Shu Mingxuan came to the deck.

"Squeak, squeak, squeak. Squeak!"

On the deck, when the white rats saw Shu Mingxuan coming, they were not only afraid, but also rushed towards him.

Shu Mingxuan wielded the Galaxy Knife, used his body, and launched an offensive against these white rats.

"Ice Spikes!" Ice spikes slammed into the group of rats, slowing them down. "Meteorite Storm!" Shu Mingxuan took advantage of the victory to pursue, and after a few rounds, he finally killed all the white rats.

Back on Dugu City's side, Shu Mingxuan found that no one had come back at this time, and he said proudly: "Haha, it's me the fastest again." ”

After everyone had completed the competition, Dugucheng gathered them together and said, "Now announce the winner of this recruitment conference - Li Bugang, the son of Shangshu Li Gang!"

As soon as the results came out, everyone was in an uproar.

"Hey, is there any mistake! I won both times, why is he the winner? Just because his father is Li Gang?" Shu Mingxuan was puzzled.

Dugucheng said lightly: "Those who are not selected should leave the venue quickly, wash and sleep." ”

"Cut, what a broken official, I'm not uncommon!"

Shu Mingxuan turned around to leave, but Dugu Cheng suddenly grabbed his sleeve.

"You, what are you going to do? people are innocent ......"

"Ahem, I just got the news. Li Bugang was overexcited, drunk heavily, and fell into the river......" Dugucheng said.

When Shu Mingxuan heard this, he suddenly didn't know what to say.

"As an alternate, you are now the Imperial Commander. This is your bounty, so go to the Quartermaster to get your Imperial Commander's clothes later. Dugucheng handed a storage bag to Shu Mingxuan, and then said: "It's not early, you are familiar with the identity of the imperial commander, and tomorrow go to see what the emperor has to say, because the annual hunting competition is about to start." ”
