After leaving the palace of Dongtengguo, the scholar knelt down in front of Zhou Xiao, "The grass people meet the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor!"

The scholar's wife immediately bowed down.

Zhou Xiao raised his hand, "Let's be flat." ”

"Your Majesty, Emperor. "The book is born.

"Ding! I sensed the Great Confucian bones. The moment the scholar got up, Zhou Xiao heard a prompt sound from the system in his head.

"What is the Great Confucian Bone?" Zhou Xiao was a little surprised.

He glanced at the scholar and the woman, and he didn't expect that these two people were extraordinary.

The system said: "The Great Confucian literary bones are similar to the bloodline of martial arts, although the great Confucian literary bones do not practice martial arts, but they have amazing talents in thought and Confucianism, and they can enter the Tao and become Confucian saints." ”

Zhou Xiao was even more surprised.

He had heard of Wendao.

In the long history of the emergence of many ideological giants, the emergence of these literary and Taoist saints, so that a hundred schools of thought contended, a hundred flowers bloomed. It has accelerated the construction of social order and ethics, and promoted the process of civilization.

Martial arts are important in a country.

But ideological literati cannot be lacking.

"What's your name?" Zhou Xiao asked.

"The grass people travel by land. The scholar said, "Beloved wife Shangguan Qinghe." ”

After Zhou Xiao questioned the two in detail, he learned that Lu Youzhi was a person from Suhe County, a poor scholar, and had a poor life, but he had amazing talents.

He is known as one of the four talents of Suhe County.

Shangguan Qinghe is the young lady of the Shangguan family of the literati family of Suhe County, and she is also a talented girl.

The two fell in love at first sight.

"Since you are from Suhe County, how did you two get to Dongteng Kingdom?" Zhou Xiao asked, "Recently, the scientific expedition is approaching, with your talent, why don't you participate in the scientific expedition?"

Zhou Xiao has recently reviewed and reviewed, and the scientific expedition is actively being prepared.

It stands to reason that the literati of the Great Zhou Dynasty should go to the imperial capital for reference, or actively prepare.

Lu Youzhi's appearance here is a bit unreasonable.

He's not so self-motivated, is he?

Lu Youzhi's face was bitter, and he sighed for a long time, but he was speechless.

He seemed hesitating about something.

However, Shangguan Qinghe said: "Don't hide it from the emperor, You Zhi does plan to participate in the scientific examination, but ......"

She bowed her head.

Bite one's tongue.

Zhou Xiao saw that the two of them had something unspeakable, and said, "But it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

"Caomin and You Zhi are in love, You Zhi plans to marry me after gaining fame, and the family agrees. ”

Shangguan Qinghe stopped.

Lu Youzhi continued: "But just as he was preparing to enter the imperial capital to participate in the scientific expedition, the Ning family of Suhe County came to propose marriage, forcing Qinghe to marry Ning Qingyun, the eldest son of the Ning family......"

Qinghe refused, so they started to kill. ”

"Kill Qinghe's father first...... In order to protect his family, Qinghe chose to compromise and seek perfection...... However, Ning Qingyun didn't stop there, and wanted to kill me, completely breaking Qinghe's thoughts. ”

"Qinghe overheard the conversation between Ning Qingyun and his subordinates, and was worried about my safety, so he managed to escape and tell me the news. ”

"After that, the two of us fled overnight, Ning Qingyun found out and sent people to chase us, we hid all the way, and finally got rid of the people of the Ning family when we arrived in Dongteng Kingdom. ”

After listening to the story, Zhou Xiao frowned slightly, "There is such a thing?"

"The Ning family kills people, and the county guards don't care?" Zhou Xiao asked.

"The Ning family is the county family, covering the sky with one hand. "The way of land travel.

"What a big boldness!" Zhou Xiao was angry, "As a county guard, bully the people!

This cancer must be wiped out.

"I will give you justice for the two of you, you two will go back to the imperial capital with me to participate in the scientific expedition first, and you missed this year, but you have to wait another year. Zhou smiled.

"Thank you, Emperor!" Lu Youzhi was grateful.

After that, Zhou Xiao and Wei Zhong set off to return to Da Zhou.

When passing through the border of the Great Zhou, Zhou Xiao ordered Zhao Zilong to go to the Eastern Tengguo Kingdom to take over the two recovered Great Zhou cities.

And demanded that the two "interest" be taken over in three days.

After the arrangements are made, go back to the palace.

It was already ten o'clock in the evening when I entered the imperial capital.

Zhou Xiao didn't plan to bring Lu Youzhi back to the palace, although he had a great Confucian literary backbone, Zhou Xiao still wanted to test him in the way of scientific research.

If it's really amazing,

It is not too late to confer official positions.

In addition, Zhou Xiao also needs more time to examine his character and morality.

However, when they parted, a group of people suddenly rushed up.

"Lu Youzhi, you really came to the imperial capital. More than a dozen people directly surrounded Zhou Xiao and them, "We are looking for you so hard, you can hide these days." ”

Seeing these people, Lu Youzhi suddenly became nervous.

From their words, Zhou Xiao had already judged their identities.

Suhe County Ning family.

"You guys, don't go too far. "Lu Youzhi, "This is ...... in the imperial capital"

"What's wrong with the imperial capital?" The leader said: "The Dog Emperor still manages me Ning Qingyun to marry his daughter-in-law?"

"Shangguan Qinghe, don't be ignorant, marry me, that's your blessing. What can he give you with this poor scholar?" Ning Qingyun looked like Lao Tzu was the best in the world.

Zhou Xiao's face turned cold when he heard this.

Dog Emperor?

It's not a small boldness.

"The son of the county guard, who gave you the courage to go wild in the imperial capital?" Zhou Xiao stared at Ning Qingyun.

"Who the hell are you?" Ning Qingyun said, "It's your turn to speak?"

Syllable!!

His voice fell,

Zhou Xiao slapped it directly away.

Ning Qingyun fell to the ground, his cheeks swollen high, "You dare to hit me?"

Ning Qingyun was furious to the extreme.

Zhou Xiao did not speak.

At this time, the movement here attracted the patrolling imperial capital army, and due to the approach of the scientific expedition, the imperial capital strengthened security patrols.

Many of the soldiers were drawn from the palace.

Therefore, they recognized Zhou Xiao at a glance, "The last general will see the emperor!"

"Long live the emperor, long live, long live!"

"Your Majesty?" Hearing this title, Ning Qingyun's face changed again and again, and cold sweat broke out on his back.

"You...... You are ......" Ning Qingyun's throat was dry.

Zhou smiled: "I am the dog emperor in your mouth." ”

Rumble!!

Ning Qingyun was struck by lightning.

Offended the Emperor!

Capital crimes are all light, and even the entire Ning family will suffer.

Ning Qingyun knelt down and bowed, "The emperor spares his life...... The grass people didn't mean to offend, the emperor spared his life, the emperor spared his life!"

Kowtow.

The crotch is soaking wet.

"Wasn't it arrogant just now?" Zhou Xiao asked lightly.

"The grass people have eyes but no beads, and they don't know the sky and the earth are thick......"

He trembled.

At this time, the patrol guard asked, "Your Majesty, what should you do with these people?"

"Guilty of disturbing order," Zhou said with a smile, "As for him, pull him down and behead him!"

Ning Qingyun had a life on his hands.

The chop.

"Yes!!" The next moment everyone was arrested.

Ning Qingyun was directly paralyzed.

Chopped?

He's going to be beheaded?

How so?

"The emperor spares his life, the emperor ......," Ning Qingyun shouted.

However, Zhou Xiao ignored it, and only said to Lu Youzhi: "I have already sought justice for you, and I am preparing for the exam seriously." ”

"Your Majesty, Emperor. "Lu Youzhi bowed.

Zhou smiled: "Wei Zhong, give him some silver taels." ”

Hearing this, Wei Zhong took out a bag of silver and handed it to Lu Youzhi, "These silver taels will last until the end of the scientific expedition." ”

Goodbye to Lu Youzhi.

Zhou Xiao didn't say much and turned back to the palace.

No one talked about it until Zhou Xiao left,

"What is the origin of that scholar?

"The emperor also gave him two pieces of silver. ”

"This imperial examination is getting more and more interesting, do you think the final champion will be him? After all, the emperor attaches so much importance to it. ”

"Who knows ...... this"
