More than 400 candidates gathered at the banquet tonight, which is the most complete meeting, but there are too many people to see clearly, if there is no special thing, and the candidates in Chang'an Mansion happened to have a special thing, and after the end of the scene, they went against the current, arguing with the officials and officials, and everyone was watching...... Thinking of that scene, the teenagers sitting around the room burst into laughter again.

"It looks like a gentle and elegant person, how can you make such a small person. A teenager said.

The maidservant girl on the side was kneeling with a fruit plate, looking up at the young man standing, "His Royal Highness the Prince, look, as Qi Niang said, they didn't dare to say anything after playing them, so it can be seen that the villain doesn't dare to be open." ”

Thinking of the stunned look of the group of Chang'an candidates at that time, the teenagers stroked their palms and laughed.

"Although there is no point in doing so. A young man said, "But Qi Niang is right, our happiness in our hearts is the greatest meaning." ”

Suo Shengxuan didn't laugh, sighed lightly, and said, "I really want to make friends with everyone, that poetry prodigy Xue Qing is from Chang'an Mansion." With a bit of thought, "... I don't know which of them is him. "I looked a little regretful.

A servant girl leaned over and said: "Your Highness, Qi Niang said that there is no need to worry about this, as long as the gentleman tries to win the first place in His Highness, the people of the world will naturally compete with His Highness, and now the people of Chang'an Mansion are not sincere, and His Highness does not want such a friendship." ”

The other teenager nodded: "Qi Niang is right, when we saw them, they also saw us, and they must recognize it, but they pretended to be nothing, and they could see their hearts." ”

The other teenagers nodded their heads as well.

"Yes, those candidates in Kaiyang Mansion still dare to be angry at us. ”

Chang'an Mansion was silent. ”

"It can be seen that the ill-intentioned .... I have to guard against it. ”

"Your Highness, we should overpower them in the gentlemen's test, and impress them, and they will surely be in awe of us and want to make friends. ”

Xiliang people worship heroes very much, even if they are their enemies, Suo Shengxuan nodded and said, "Then let's defeat them in the gentleman's test." ”

The teenagers raised their hands and waved their fists to slap their palms and shout, and some maidservants danced with the high-fives, and the atmosphere became stronger for a while.

Suo Shengxuan also sat down, smiled and looked at the excitement, and then turned his head and asked the maidservant: "Where is Qi Niang? Can you go out? Now the city is lively." ”

The maidservant who sat beside him said: "Qi Niang never likes to be lively, and His Royal Highness doesn't know it." ”

Suo Shengxuan looked out the door and said, "I want to return to my hometown, and the lone wolf will also be gregarious." ”

The attic at the top of the inn was different from the others, there was no light in the room, and the lanterns hanging outside the house seemed to be blown out by the wind, and in the distance and in the light downstairs there was a dark shadow, and on the open windowsill sat a dark shadow, and the night wind blew through the clothes, waving black ripples.

......

......

Huangsha Road in July, the night has been slightly cool, the noisy city in the two gates are closed, the two doors are still open, although the examination date is just two days later, there are candidates on the way to gallop to come, but compared to the previous days have been a lot less, so the street has become silent, occasionally the chirping of night birds.

Xue Qing opened his eyes and sat up in his sleep, and after a while, the window made a slight noise, Xue Qing got up and walked over and stretched out his hand to open it, until this time Guo Zi'an on the bed on the side also opened his eyes and got up.

"What people. He exclaimed, his hand gripping a short wooden stick under the pillow.

The lights in the inn were cast indoors, shining on the figure of Xue Qing in obscene clothes, she raised her hand and booed, "Look for me, you continue to sleep." ”

Looking for her? Guo Zi'an looked at the window in a daze, the window had been opened, and the person by the window smiled at him, not a stranger, but a coachman... Guo Zi'an's eyes widened.

"Your Excellency is here. Qi Whoosh whispered, "Outside the city." ”

Xue Qing said: "Do you want me to go out of the city now?"

Qi swooped and said: "Your Excellency didn't ask for this, it was difficult to walk through the city gates on all sides, only to climb over the city wall, and there was a gap on the east gate There was a chance for the guards to take advantage of when they walked by..."He shook his head, "But I can't do it." ”

The gates are too high..

Xue Qing smiled, no matter how high it is, it can't be as high as Liudao Spring Mountain.... Where is Mr. Si Brown at ease now? Does he have a squeamish concubine at home? Does he really care whether she lives or dies? It's really unreliable.

The window was closed, the people inside and outside were gone, the room was quiet again, Guo Zi'an sat on the bed holding a wooden stick and was stunned, this world is so big, so big that he can't see clearly.

.....

Bright lanterns were also hung on the city gates, and a group of guards patrolled and walked by vigilantly, shaking away the night birds resting on the city wall, and the night birds entrenched on the city wall in the dark slowly floated down along the outside of the city wall, and quietly landed and quickly ran towards the night in the distance.

From the wilderness, Huangsha Dao City is as bright as the Moon Palace, and there are cars and horses driving on the road in the distance.

Xue Qing stopped, and a stone on the side of the road shook and got up, and let out a laugh.

"Young Master Qingzi is really powerful. Du said.

Xue Qing said: "Actually, it's not very powerful, it's just cooked... Previously, Mr. Qingxia refused to accept me as an apprentice, and I often climbed the mountain to go to the academy to eavesdrop on lectures. ”

This reason was impeccable, and he smiled without revealing that he knew that she had another master, and said, "Let's go and see the underground palace." ”

Is it going to happen so soon? how many people? is it just the two of them?how do you do it?... Du didn't speak again, Xue Qing didn't say hello again, Du turned around and walked quickly, and Xue Qing followed.

In addition to the candidates who are desperately on the road, there are also the never-ending guards patrolling the city, and the guards patrol the city not only in the bright lights of Huangsha Road City, but also in the dark and silent Huangsha Road Relic City.

As they walked, a group of Praetorian guards separated from it and walked in the other direction, they were wearing armor, but they did not hold weapons in their hands, and their faces shone in the starlight, both old and young, without the slightest murderous aura.

They walked in silence, and a dark shadow loomed in front of them.

"That's the Queen's Mausoleum. ”

Du said, stretching out his hand to point.

Xue Qing stared at it, adapting to the night, the queen's mausoleum gradually became clear, and in a wilderness, the mausoleum with a tall mausoleum was simple and majestic.

"These craftsmen of Qin Tangong will pretend to be guards in the mausoleum, and then go directly to the underground palace. Du said.

That's really arrogant, Xue Qing thought, but there was nothing arrogant, after all, it was the one who sent the emperor and empress to the mausoleum.

"Then we can't be so arrogant, right?" she said.

Du smiled and said, "What if you are so arrogant?"

Xue Qing said in a loud voice: "Are they going to do it now?" Do you want the praying mantis to catch cicadas and yellow finches behind?

Du said: "No, they will open the passage of the underground palace at the moment when the gentleman's examination begins, and the first scientific examination on the first day will be held in the queen's mausoleum." ”

On the first day, there were six rituals for the first scientific examination, and worship was one of them.

"There would be sacrificial drums, and the sound of the drums would disguise their movements. "However, they can't open the door of the underground palace when they enter the passage, so we can come back at night." ”

Xue Qing responded, seeing that the craftsman who was pretending to be a guard over there had already entered the cemetery, and a team of people and horses galloped out of the cemetery after a while..... These were the real Praetorian guards, and the two stalked away in the other direction in the night.

The sound of the guard's hooves faded away, but the next moment there was a popping crash ahead.

Du stopped, looked vigilantly in the dark night, and whispered, "How can there be people here at this time?"

Xue Qing's ears, the impact of people and the ground, and the chains.... Chain, she straightened up to look at the sound, and said, "It's someone here." ”

The people here were slightly puzzled, and Xue Qing motioned to him to hurry forward first.

In the night, the wind rose sharply, and the dust flew with the sound of the roar, and the figures among them also jumped high, and were dragged back like fish in a fishing line, and fell to the ground, their legs, feet, knees, and hands collided with the ground, making a heavy noise, like a stone falling to the ground.

The ground was filled with sand and calmed down.

"That's all. The figure looked back and said, "Come on." ”

Behind him there were four or five large and small figures, hearing this sentence, the figure hesitated, hesitated for a moment Two people stood up, gritted their teeth and stomped forward, just after their steps took a few steps, there was a sound from the ground in the dark night, and the next moment the two children who were running were thrown into the air, and the screams pierced the night sky.... I panicked and tried to grab something, but in vain, I was dragged to the ground again... There was a snap, and the two children were slapped on the ground like fish....

This time it was really like a fish, and the whole person fell to the ground..... A wail of pain tore through the eardrums.

In the night in the distance, Xue Qing stood up straight and said, "It turns out that this is what we should have seen at that time. ”[.]
