Ten years of hard work.

From the county test to the government test to the court test, and finally to the palace test, step by step, some people have gone for one term, while some have come and gone for five or six sessions.

"Hurry up, hurry up, the time for the announcement is coming, hurry to the gate of the palace to grab a good position. ”

"I don't know what the results of this palace examination will be?"

"I heard that Wu Feng seems to have received the holy edict in advance, and no one has said anything about the other talents, so I think Wu Feng should be at least in the top three. ”

"I heard that Fang Zhengzhi didn't receive the holy edict, so it's estimated that he will fall off the list this time, right?"

"Even if you don't fall off the list, the top of the literary examination must be Nangong Hao. ”

"That's right!"

The talents were exchanging news and guessing the results of this palace examination as they walked, after all, this palace examination was too eye-catching.

Nangong Hao, ranked second on the Ascending Dragon List, was recognized as the first talented person of the Great Xia Dynasty four years ago, plus Wu Feng, who ranked third on the Ascending Dragon List, and a closed disciple of the Qing Shui Sage, one of the Four Sages.

There is also Yan Xiu, a rookie who showed extraordinary strength in the preliminaries of the palace examination, plus a square upright who has always won the top of the double list from the county examination to the court examination, and is in the focus.

The entire Yanjing City was boiling.

At the main entrance of the palace, there was a black oppressive head, and the businessmen who were doing business in Yanjing City, as well as the people and talents were crowded at the door.

Everyone wants to hear the announcement as soon as possible.

At the entrance of the Zhaoxuan Palace, two rows of guards wearing gold armor were lining up on the left and right, each holding bright spears, and waiting for them with a solemn face.

In the middle of the guards, the civil and military officials, headed by Zuo Xiangyu Yiping, were standing at the entrance of the Zhaoxuan Palace.

As for the talents who are waiting for the announcement. It was standing about 500 meters outside the entrance of the Zhaoxuan Palace, looking at it one by one.

Yan Xian, who was dressed in an ink suit, stood among the talents, his face was extremely indifferent, but his eyes were looking around.

Last night, Fang Zhengzhi did not return to the inn.

At this point, Yan Xiu is not too surprised, after all. If Fang Zhengzhi is a little tired from listening to music in the Dian Mo Building, it is normal to rest in the Dian Mo Building for one night.

It's just that......

The time has come to wait for the list, why hasn't Fang Zhengcheng appeared yet?

In Yan Xiu's heart, although Fang Zhengzhi sometimes is more casual and does whatever he wants, Yan Xiu never thinks that Fang Zhengzhi will make mistakes in principle.

Especially in such a big event as waiting for the announcement, it is impossible to be absent.

"Where the hell have you gone?" Yan Xiu's gaze looked in the direction of the entrance of the palace, and a trace of anxiety flashed in his eyes. It's just that now that he is in the palace, before the announcement is over, it is impossible for him to go out at all.

Can only wait.

Waiting for the arrival of Fang Zheng.

Wu Feng is in a good mood now, although there are some unpleasant episodes when he leaves the inn, but the episodes are just episodes after all, they can only be inserted, and they can't be compared with the real main theme.

Of course. A big part of the reason why he's in a good mood is ......

Fang Zhengzhi didn't even come to listen to the announcement?!

What good news this is.

All along, Wu Feng has heard rumors that Fang Zhengzhi is very bold. The big one can confront the hundred officials in the court, and the big one can insult the hundred officials in the hunting ground in the eastern suburbs.

However, it is still a bit exaggerated to not be able to announce the list of the palace examination.

A night of romance......

Just go for it!

"Fang Zhengzhi didn't come, and I don't know what he was doing. ”

"I heard that he went to Dianmo Building last night, and was invited into the boudoir by the fairy girl, it shouldn't be a sleepless night. Can't wake up, can you? Hahaha......"

"I don't think he's afraid to come to listen to the announcement, right?"

"It's still in Qin Gongzi's words, it's really smart, Fang Zhengzhi didn't get the holy edict, the literary examination of this palace exam is bound to fall off the list, and it is normal not to dare to listen to the announcement. Just ......"

"Just how?"

"It's a pity that Miss Xianyin, but the good name is on this guy's back. ”

"Yes, yes, what Wang Gongzi said is very true, I think Fang Zhengcheng is not in Dianmo Building at all now, I'm afraid he has already found a place to hide, right?"

"Hahaha......"

The talents who were waiting for the announcement naturally noticed that there was no square integrity among the people waiting for the list, so they also laughed and talked more unscrupulously.

A faint smile appeared at the corner of Wu Feng's mouth, Fang Zhengzhi didn't come to listen to the order, this was naturally hiding, to say that he was so tired that he couldn't get up all night, he didn't believe it.

When he thought like this, Wu Feng's mood became better and better, and his eyes swept through the crowd, slightly certain, because he noticed a figure.

Nangong Hao.

Today's Nangong Hao is still dressed in white, but the blood stains on the original white clothes have been gone, and I don't know if he washed it or changed it again.

There is some dust, but there is a hint of brightness in the dust.

That glimmer of brightness came from Nangong Hao's eyes, which looked like the sun in the sky, bright and dazzling, but a little high.

He's so bright that you can see it very clearly, but you can't touch it, so you can only look up, keep looking up.

Nangong Hao is such an existence in the hearts of the talented people of the Great Xia Dynasty.

It's too genius.

It was a kind of genius that far surpassed his peers, so much so that even if Nangong Hao did not deliberately keep his distance from others, it still made people feel a little arrogant.

Wu Feng actually wanted to know something.

That is, whether Nangong Hao has received the holy edict or not, this is a matter of course, because with Nangong Hao's current realm, it is impossible to fall off the list.

Still, he was thinking about it.

It's like a beggar standing on the street in the heavy rain, knowing that there won't be many people walking on the street, but he still has to hold an expectant heart and stretch out his hands.

It's an expectation, and it's not your own performance that is superordinate, but the opponent's mistakes.

Fang Zhengzhi submitted his papers in advance during the literary examination, so he fell off the list without any surprise, and Nangong Hao also submitted his papers in advance during the literary examination.

So, will it end the same?

Wu Feng is not betting on the strength of Fang Zhengzhi and Nangong Hao, but on the impact of the matter of handing in the papers in advance, how can the emperor who is high above allow others to be disrespectful?

The footsteps moved, and Wu Feng finally walked towards Nangong Hao.

"Nangong Gongzi!" A kind smile appeared on Wu Feng's face, and he saluted Nangong Hao, with some humility in his movements.

When the other talents saw this scene, they all stopped talking.

Wu Feng took the initiative to say hello to Nangong Hao before announcing the list?

What is the purpose?

Is it the mutual tilt between the two powerhouses, or is it the beginning of the ignition of the war?

"Wu Gongzi. Nangong Hao looked at the Wu Feng in front of him, and did not refuse to be thousands of miles away, and replied very humbly, and returned the salute very politely.

But even so, the talented people still feel that there is always a high wall between these two people that cannot be seen and cannot be climbed, which is very strange.

But it's real.

Wu Feng's lips moved, he expected that Nangong Hao should not ignore him, but when Nangong Hao treated him like this, he was slightly stunned.

It's a visceral emotion.

It seems to be a kind of high climbing, or rather inferiority.

This emotion flashed in a flash, but Wu Feng's heart was shocked, why did he feel that Nangong Hao's courtesy to him was a charity?

I'm now ranked third on the Ascending Dragon List.

There is only one place away from Nangong Hao in the rankings......

Why is this so?

Wu Feng felt that he should be on the same level as Nangong Hao, and the distance between them was already subtle, and he wanted to calm himself down, but in fact, that emotion was like a shadow, lingering.

Therefore, after opening your mouth a few times with great effort, you didn't open your mouth to ask whether you had received the holy edict.

He felt that when he asked this sentence, he could be very casual.

It's as casual as two friends asking each other if they've eaten, but when he really stood in front of Nangong Hao, he found that he couldn't ask at all.

"Wu Gongzi wants to ask me if I have received the holy edict, right?" Nangong Hao spoke again at this time, the expression on his face did not change at all, and his expression was extremely indifferent.

"Huh...... In fact, this question doesn't need to be asked at all, with the talent of Nangong Gongzi, it is naturally not a problem to rank first in the palace examination and literature examination. Wu Feng smiled lightly, trying to calm his mood as much as possible.

But the shock in his heart still made his voice tremble slightly, because, when Nangong Hao said this, he had a feeling of being seen through.

It's like being seen through without a trace of covering, and it's very uncomfortable.

"I didn't receive the edict. Nangong Hao shook his head slightly, and when he said this, his tone was very calm, as calm as a windless ice lake.

There is not a trace of wavering.

Even in the wind, the ice is still ice.

Nangong Hao's tone was very calm, but it didn't mean that the talents after hearing Nangong Hao's words would remain calm, because this news was too shocking.

"I heard you right, did I? Nangong Hao ...... He said he didn't receive the edict?!"

"How is this possible?"

The talents couldn't understand it at all, because, with Nangong Hao's strength, he could win the top spot in the palace exam four years ago.

Four years later......

Nangong Hao came out with the momentum and inserted it in the very center of Yanjing City like a sharp sword.

But he didn't even receive the edict?

It's like a thunderclap falling from the sky.

The Holy Edict represents the ranking of the top ten in the temple examination, and receiving the Holy Edict is equivalent to being on the list, and not receiving the Holy Edict is equivalent to dropping the list.

This is almost an indisputable fact.

Although it is said that even if there is no name on the list, if you can get the top 30 in the literary test under the list, you are still eligible to participate in the follow-up martial arts test, but no one thought that that such a thing would happen to Nangong Hao.

Nangong Hao, the default number one talent in the hearts of everyone in the Great Xia Dynasty......

Going to drop the list?!(To be continued.) )
