Seeing that Shen Man was going to go with Wu Niannian, Lime couldn't help but grab her and whisper, "Xiaoman, why did you go to the eldest prince?" Do you know what this so-called 'fighting meeting' is going to compete and how it is being competed? ”

Shen Man said, "The gate supervisor once said that I was not allowed to have anything to do with Taige when I took the exam. I'm going to vote for the big prince so that there won't be suspicion. ”

"But......" Lime frowned and hesitated, and finally couldn't help but admonish, "You can't trust Wu Niannian in anything." ”

Shen Man said "um" and followed Wu Niannian away. She has always been suspicious of Wu Niannian, but at the same time, she feels that she has an inexplicable sense of deed.

The capital's defenses seemed to be strengthening, and patrols wearing red tasseled helmets and armor and riding horses passed by.

Hawkers in the market are orderly hawking, but some of the shops that are open are suspiciously closed.

Passing through Sanqu Lotus Lane, you will arrive at a wide mansion, on which several big characters of gold paint, dragon flying and phoenix dance, are the emperor's imperial pen inscription. The eldest prince Zhu Kui, although he has long been an adult, has not been divided for a long time, neither became the prince, nor even the position of the prince, which shows that today's son is indifferent to him.

Wu Niannian came to vote for him, which was actually a subordinate choice, but the front door of Princess Decheng's mansion was like a market, let alone self-recommendation, even if it was difficult to take root and get in; In front of the gate supervisor's pavilion, there were twenty teams of majestic halberd-wielding soldiers, and not even a fly could fly in; Even in front of Ning Xiangfu, the officers and soldiers of the patrol battalion were temporarily transferred, and three layers were set up inside and outside to prevent anyone from climbing over the wall without regard to a single thing.

Only the eldest prince is here, open the door and welcome all learned people to take refuge.

That said, not everyone can be confused.

Shen Man saw that in front of the mansion of the eldest prince, there was a middle-aged man with a wide coat and a gentle belt, and the breeze was like the moon. Anyone who wants to go in will pass in front of him and let him come and "take a look".

Wu Niannian saw Shen Man staring at the man, so he said, "This person is the fourth place in the Astronomy Gate of the Yin-Yang Dao Exam the year before last, Zhong Fei. This man was born blind, but he had a unique pair of "discerning eyes" that could discern people's hearts and predict the future. ”

Shen Man exclaimed, "How can there be such a capable person in the world?" If he can predict the future, then according to this person's ability, he should be able to live in the Yin and Yang Prison, and not stay in front of the Great Prince's Mansion, isn't this overkill? ”

"You're right, he was originally in the Yin Yang Prison, but I don't know why he was kicked out. It is rumored that it was because he had been drinking heavily for a long time, was unconscious, and offended the one who was Taige. Moreover, his 'prediction technique' seems to be getting less and less effective, since he looked at the people for the eldest prince last year, only three out of ten predictions have been correct, so everyone is more and more suspicious of his Yin Yang Dao attainments. This year's result of meeting people at the door is not unexpected. ”

Wu Niannian said again, "No matter what, we still have to pass through him to see the eldest prince, come with me." ”

Shen Man said worriedly, "What if he sees that I'm an unlucky ghost and won't let me in?" ”

Wu Niannian showed a look of disdain, "I'm also a natural unlucky ghost, won't he let me in?" Then he took out a piece of crystal clear white jade from his bosom and said, "When the time comes, just give him this, and I promise that he can let you in." ”

Shen Man heard what Wu Niannian said, a flash of lightning flashed in his mind, and he smiled, "It turns out that we are all unlucky ghosts, by the way, Niannian, how old are you this year?" ”

Wu Niannian seemed to regret the call he had just said, and paused and said, "I never knew my real birthday, but what is certain is that I am older than you, so call me sister." ”

Shen Man was reluctant, "How is that possible!" I'm definitely older than you, and if you want to call me sister! ”

Wu Niannian rolled his eyes, "Don't think!" ”

The two of them lined up at the door while arguing, and Zhong Fei stood in front of Shen Man, with a black cloth covering his eyes. He was a head taller and his face was thin. When Shen Man stood in front of him and looked at the black cloth on his face, the illusion he saw in the Tongue Cutting Temple flashed in front of him.

Countless terrible screams sounded in his ears, there were severed limbs and stumps everywhere, and the nose seemed to smell a strong smell of blood. provoked Shen Man to bend over and retched for a while.

Zhong Fei stayed quietly all the time, but his fingers hidden in the wide-sleeved robe were trembling slightly. 、

"Young man, you also want to participate in the 'fighting party'?" He spoke calmly, without waves.

"Hmm." Shen Man nodded solemnly.

"Why did you want to join the camp of the Great Prince?" He asked.

Shen Man pondered for a while and said, "Because the eldest prince will recruit talents." ”

"Oh, that's right." Zhong Fei was silent for a while, and pursed his lips. Finally, he said, "You can go in." ”

Shen Manleng paused, refusing to believe that it was so smooth. But Wu Niannian hurriedly grabbed her arm and took her inside. When Shen Man was leaving, he heard Zhong Fei behind him say in a low voice, "Finally waited for you to come......

"What?" Shen Man stopped and asked.

Zhong Fei looked back, his sleeves were blown by the phoenix, and his hair danced gently. He turned his face sideways at Shen Man, and then slowly burst into a smile full of meaning on Qingjun's face.

This smile made Shen Man feel terrified, as if he was a prey and had fallen into Zhong Fei's trap.

"Let's go," Wu Niannian urged, "they're all inside." ”

"Hmm." Shen Man could only clear the chaotic thoughts in his mind for the time being, thinking that when he went back in the evening, he would ask Lime about the origin of this person named Zhong Fei.

said that they were meeting the eldest prince, but Shen Man and Wu Niannian could only stand at the end of the line, and they couldn't even see the face of the eldest prince.

Wu Niannian happily cushioned his feet and leaned sideways, wanting to see the appearance of some of the eldest princes more clearly, and his eyes shone with a bright light.

"I can't imagine that the eldest prince is quite handsome, I heard that I have never been married, I don't know who can be the princess in the future, I must have a bright future, and I don't have to worry about food and clothing."

Shen Man smiled and nodded in agreement.

Wu Niannian thought for a while, and then changed his words, "But the eldest prince has not been titled yet, and it may not be good to marry him." She thought about it carefully, and suddenly came to hope, "If you say that you want to marry, it is best to marry the gate supervisor of the dynasty!" ”

Shen Man coughed heavily, his eyes widened, frightened. "Didn't you say that the gate warden might be an old man in his seventies and eighties, why did he suddenly want to marry her? Since the gate supervisor is so old, there must be a family, and you are willing to let a girl about your age call you grandmother? ”

Wu Niannian hesitated, "But the gate supervisor is in charge of the Yin and Yang family in the world, and he is the supreme person in the Yin and Yang Dao. So mysterious, so bold, even if it's as you say, as long as he can look at me, I can still consider being someone's grandmother, picking up a few ready-made granddaughters to tease in his arms. ”

Shen Man couldn't cry or laugh, "You have a really strong taste." ”

Wu Niannian pinched the fine flesh on Shen Man's arm with his fingers, pinched Shen Mandao, "I don't believe you don't want to marry him, he is simply more attractive than today." ”

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention.

Marry her?

Shen Man remembered the trace of warmth that stayed on his lips, and the snort when she approached him, and his face burned red and became hot unconsciously.

Wu Niannian looked at her face and said "Huh", and then was interrupted by a sudden loud voice in front of her.

"This 'fighting meeting' will be held at the 'Kongtong Temple' outside the city for three days. Wait for the next order to get your name back and get ready, someone will come to the house to pick you up early tomorrow morning. The chosen ones will have the opportunity to meet the current saint and the gate supervisor of the current court, please all of you use your skills to win glory for the great prince! ”

Shen Man turned his head in surprise and asked Wu Niannian, "Three days?" Kongtong Temple? ”

Wu Niannian shrugged his shoulders, "Don't stare at me, I didn't know it would be like this." But at least we have been to Kongtong Temple and know the secret of Master Jingjing, which is our advantage, and we should be glad to be right. ”

Shen Manyi thought of that lustful bald head and smiled, "I really want to visit the master again." ”

"Shhhh ”

Zhong Fei slowly read the candidates who could go to Kongtong Temple, and the eldest prince had prepared ten people here, and now he had read the eighth.

Wu Niannian clasped his hands and kept praying, but Shen Man had a hunch that one of the remaining two places would definitely be himself.

Zhong Fei seemed to sense something, and his face turned to Shen Man's side. Then he said, "The last two spots." ”

Wu Niannian swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and everyone present held their breath.

"Wu Niannian, the people of the capital ......"

Wu Niannian was stunned for a moment, and he didn't come back to his senses. Zhong Fei then said, "Shen Man, a person from the capital. ”
