There was a knock at the door, and Jiang Renyun's voice said outside: "Shi Yuanji, are you awake?" Let's go out for a walk today, I heard that there are a lot of fun things in the East Market. ”

The deep self-blame made Shi Yuanji lose his spirits, his hair was disheveled, his eyes were bloodshot, he struggled to get up from the bed, walked to the door and opened the door.

"I'll go, what's wrong with you?" Jiang Renyun was startled when he saw Shi Yuanji's appearance. "You got into a fight with someone last night, and why did you become such a dejected virtue?"

Shi Yuanji lay back on the bed and said weakly: "I don't want to go out today, you can go play by yourself." ”

"Are you thinking about your hometown again?" Jiang Renyun opened the window to ventilate the room. "It's useless for you to be sad, I tell you, if you want to take it back, you have to be more arrogant than the person who took it from you. ”

"You said that Ding Yunzhi is, I guess he may have something to do with a big man in the imperial capital, and that big man is his root. You, as for you, have to find a root that is bigger than him. Entering Chengyun Hall is the first step, if you get a good score in the exam and are favored by that big man, then you will get twice the result with half the effort. ”

Shi Yuanji stared at Jiang Renyun with red eyes, looking at Jiang Renyun blankly, really not wanting to break his illusion. If Shi Yuanji told him now that the exam in Chengyun Pavilion had been manipulated by the big man in his mouth, would he still think that with good results, he would be able to rise to the top?

"Renyun, we people, no matter how good our grades are, we will only be admitted to the lower house at most. Shi Yuanji said weakly. "But you're right, I need bigger roots to get to my point. ”

"What's wrong with you, what's stimulating? Jiang Renyun was very puzzled, Shi Yuanji's performance was too abnormal.

"We are nothing more than pawns of the big men to achieve their goals, puppets at the mercy of their hands, and even murderous knives in their hands. Shi Yuanji got out of bed and walked to the window step by step, breathing in the fresh air.

"You're thinking too much. Jiang Renyun was fed up with Shi Yuanji's babbling statement and hurriedly stopped him. "After I came to the capital, I understood a truth: it would be good for people like us to be puppets for those big people. Some people want to be this puppet, but they don't have a chance yet. ”

He whispered: "A knife that kills people? What can you do if you kill people? How can there be innocent people in this world, and who dares to say that they don't deserve to die? Let me tell you, in this world, if you want to live more comfortably, you have to be thick-faced and black-hearted! Look at those eight-pillar countries, what kind of families, which ones are not this goods. ”

Shi Yuanji looked at Jiang Renyun with wide eyes.

Jiang Renyun smiled and said: "What's the use of thinking so much? Let's go down to the lower courtyard, it's finally a student of Chengyun Pavilion, right? The Ding Yunzhi who took your land is at most a backer like a second-grade or third-grade, won't you also find one?"

Shi Yuanji thought about it dejectedly, and said helplessly: "Just talk to me about this, don't say it outside." Otherwise, the face is thick, but the heart is black. ”

"Why?" Jiang Renyun said suspiciously.

"Can people see the black heart at a glance, can it still be called the black heart?" This is Shi Yuanji's evaluation of Hu Dan, and it is appropriate to say it to Jiang Renyun now.

"Listening to your words is better than reading a book for ten years. Jiang Renyun suddenly realized and nodded thoughtfully. "Seeing that you are so tired, I won't let you out. I'll go to the East Market and bring you something delicious. ”

Watching Jiang Renyun swagger out, Shi Yuanji's evaluation of him was even lower. Shi Yuanji knew that he was a sleek person who liked to cling, but he didn't expect him to preach anything with a thick face and a black heart.

"I shouldn't be like this, Jiang Renyun may just be talking about it. What kind of person he is depends on what he does rather than what he says. Shi Yuan Jixin said.

Thinking of this, he took out the red jade Sumeru seat from the human seed bag and sat cross-legged on it, overtaking the undead who died under the sword of the Guiyi Tiger.

"I don't ask for your forgiveness, but I promise that I will never become someone else's knife for killing innocents indiscriminately. ”

......

In the Taiji Palace, the Emperor of Heavenly Mandate held a brush and browsed the folds on the desk. Directly in front of him, Gui Yihu knelt without saying a word, waiting for the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny to speak.

Gui Yihu's expression was blank, and his hair and clothes were a little uneven. Of course, these are all for the Emperor of the Mandate of Heaven to see, but it's a pity that after kneeling for a long time, the Emperor of the Mandate of Heaven has been watching the twists and turns!

"Gui Yushi, I've read all the exam questions you submitted, and they're good. The Emperor of Destiny didn't raise his head, and he couldn't hear emotion in his tone.

"Your Majesty, the admission to Chengyun Pavilion is a major event of the country, and the ministers dare not slack off. Gui Yihu raised his head and glanced at the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny, and found that he was still sitting at his desk to watch the twists and turns, so he had to continue to lower his head.

"This year's children of the family all came with merit and fame, and I have read the merit book, and they are all good." The Emperor of Heavenly Mandate still said in a tone that was neither salty nor light.

Gui Yihu was a little unpredictable about the temper of this little emperor, what did he mean by saying that all these things were not nutritious? He had no choice but to deal with it: "Thanks to Your Majesty's Shengming, there are many talented people and prosperous cultures. ”

What the hell is he doing? Gui Yihu was puzzled.

"I thought about it, the goblin civil war has begun, and the battle line of the ghost side should have been deployed to the eastern coastline of Xiniu Hezhou. This year's entrance exam is probably the last before the war, so it is extremely important. The Emperor of Heavenly Destiny still didn't raise his head, and said calmly.

"I decided to go to the exam room in person on the day of the exam, and I would give the students questions temporarily, which made it difficult for them. Speaking of this, the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny chuckled. "Of course, it doesn't count as a result so that they don't play out of shape. ”

"So you're waiting for me here!" Gui Yihu suddenly realized. "Oh no, the top three this time are those from the Eight Pillars Kingdom, and their level is really not flattering. If the question is too difficult and they can't answer it, they will be exposed! That would be the crime of deceiving the king. ”

He thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty is aware of the situation and cares about the students, which is really the blessing of all the people in the world. However, His Majesty's other question will not embarrass the students, after all, they are still young and may not be able to answer. When the time comes, it may not be the name of His Majesty's benevolence......"

The Emperor of Heavenly Destiny finally raised his head, immediately interrupted his words, and said indifferently: "Gui Yushi, the ghost side has completely annihilated the royal family of the Goulong Kingdom, and only Princess Nayu is left to flee to Feng Hao, do you know about this?"

Gui Yihu was just about to answer, but the Emperor of Heavenly Mandate continued: "This means that the ghost side has occupied Jicheng, the imperial capital of the Goulong Kingdom, in as little as five years or as long as nine years, the ghost side will be able to integrate all the inheritance left by the Goulong Kingdom, including land, manpower, and so on. By that time, it was not impossible for them to push the front to the Branded Plains, and even strike across the sea to Hanoi. Do you know what that means?"

Gui Yihu was shocked, cold sweat flowed, he felt a strong sense of oppression from this underage little emperor for the first time, this is a feeling that only the first emperor could have when he was alive. He didn't dare to look up, so he could only lie on the ground and answer cautiously.

"Back to Your Majesty, Hanoi is an important grain producing area in our country. Once attacked......"

"Then you tell me that if the Ghost Fang starts a war within five years, and the war starts from Branded Plains and Hanoi, which will be the first batch of Tai students to graduate from Chengyun Pavilion? Do they want to go to the battlefield? After going to the battlefield, will the goblins of the Ghost Fang not embarrass them when they are young?" said the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny as he knocked on the table.

Gui Yihu exclaimed in his heart that it was not good, and he fell to the ground and never dared to get up again: "Your Majesty Shengming, the ministers and rats are blind, and they almost ruined the major affairs of the court, and they deserve death!"

The Emperor of Heavenly Destiny snorted coldly and continued to crouch on the desk: "I don't blame you, this group of Tai students is very important in this battle in the future, and they must be cautious, I will never allow the embroidered pillows that are defeated by the golden jade to be admitted in! ”

"Obey the order!" Gui Yihu originally wanted to rely on his untidy clothes to let the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny pity himself and beat Hu Dan. But he never expected that the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny would beat himself in turn through the entrance exam.

"Go down, go back and think about it!" said the Emperor of the Mandate of Heaven indifferently.
