When Xi Tianling came to the main hall, he found that Tang Birou's father seemed to be entertaining someone, Xi Tianling was about to leave first, and when he came back after entertaining the guests, Tang Ting, who was chatting with the guest in the main hall, saw Xi Tianling who was about to leave, and hurriedly called out to stop Xi Tianling.

"Tianling, come here, I'll introduce you to a personal acquaintance." Tang Ting beckoned to Xi Tianling with a smile on his face.

Xi Tianling, who was about to leave, heard this, so he could only stop leaving, walked into the main hall instead, arched his hand at Tang Ting, and said, "Uncle Tang." “

"Tianling, you're back, you didn't come back last night and I was worried for a while!" Seeing Xi Tianling walking in, Tang Ting said with a smile.

"I'm fine, thank you Uncle Tang for worrying." Xi Tianling arched his hand again, this etiquette was only recently learned by Xi Tianling, after all, many people are using it, and it is easy to remember it once he sees it according to his intelligence.

"Oh, by the way, I'll introduce you to someone." At this time, Tang Ting remembered the most important thing to let Xi Tianling come over, and pointed to the middle-aged man who had been observing Xi Tianling since Xi Tianling came in.

"His name is Li Zong, don't look at him as a thief, he is a real official of the Ministry of Officials, and an official of the third grade! Lao Li, this is Xi Tianling, I believe I don't need to introduce it! After speaking, Tang Ting directly touched his beard and laughed.

"I've seen Master Li." If he didn't have the heart to be an official, even if the emperor stood in front of him, Xi Tianling didn't want to bird them, but since he decided to enter the officialdom, he must not offend these people, in case he gave himself a small shoe to wear, although he was not afraid, it was also very troublesome.

Moreover, seeing that Tang Ting had such a good relationship with this official of the third grade, Xi Tianling had a new understanding of Tang Ting's identity.

"Haha, I heard Tang Ting say early in the morning that he was rescued by a young man, and today I saw that it was really extraordinary." That Master Li Zongli didn't care about Tang Ting's jokes at all, but nodded at Xi Tianling and praised him.

"Master Li has won the prize." Xi Tianling was neither humble nor arrogant, and said lightly.

That Master Li was not only not annoyed when he saw Xi Tianling like this, but laughed out loud, "Hahahaha, okay, it's really a young hero." ”

"Uncle Tang, in fact, I came to you this time to inquire about something." Xi Tianling said a few words to Master Li again, then turned his target to Tang Ting and said loudly.

"Oh? What's up? Ask, I must know everything I know, and I must say everything. Hearing that Xi Tianling had something to ask, Tang Ting still valued his life-saving benefactor, and Xi Tianling's martial arts were so high that he was rare in his life, so he was very angry and said quickly.

"That's the case, I aspire to go to the court to seek an official position, I don't know if Uncle Tang has any way?" When Xi Tianling heard Tang Ting's words, he directly said his thoughts, and then waited for Tang Ting's answer.

However, what was waiting for Xi Tianling was not Tang Ting's answer, but the two people on the other side looked at each other, and then laughed, looking at Xi Tianling inexplicably.

Just in Xi Tianling's puzzled gaze, Tang Ting spoke: "Tianling, you asked this question correctly, but this question is not for me to answer you, but for Lao Li to answer you!" ”

"Oh?" Xi Tianling looked at Master Li Zongli.

"As a minister of the Ministry of Shangshu Zheng Sanpin, it is of course easy to arrange an official and a half-position for you, but I want to ask, is the virtuous nephew really as old Tang said to have a good martial arts?" Li Shangshu said with a gentle smile on his face.

Xi Tianling raised his eyebrows, but still replied, "That's right." “

Hearing Xi Tianling's personal admitation, Master Li's face was overjoyed, and he continued, "I don't know if I can give it a try?" ”

"Of course." Although Xi Tianling didn't know what Li Shangshu wanted to do, his official career was in the hands of the other party, and it was difficult to refuse his request, so he said.

Xi Tianling looked at the main hall, looked at the chair next to him, didn't get up, directly raised his right hand and pretended to slap the chair, and the chair was directly smashed into pieces.

This change also startled the two people who were half a hundred years old and in high positions, and the two who came back to their senses looked at Xi Tianling and his masterpiece with shocked and amazed expressions.

After a while, Li Shangshu stammered and asked, "Virtuous nephew, is this the legendary air injury?" ”

When Xi Tianling heard this, his brows furrowed, and it was not easy to explain to them, so he admitted directly, "That's right, this is palm power to hurt people in the air, although I can perfectly control my palm power, but because I haven't learned the real palm technique, I can only do this." ”

"Amazing, amazing, it's the first time I've seen such a powerful person in my life, you're really amazing." Tang Ting looked at Xi Tianling's masterpiece, and finally directly applauded and boasted loudly.

At this time, Li Shangshu answered: "Since the virtuous nephew's martial arts are so strong, I will have a way to make the virtuous nephew at least promoted to a fifth-grade official." ”

"Oh? Would you like to hear more? Hearing Li Shangshu's words, Xi Tianling became interested, originally according to his thoughts, it was already very good to be a seventh-grade, but he didn't expect Li Shangshu to say that he could be at least fifth-grade.

"That's right, in half a month, the capital will hold an examination for the champion, if the virtuous nephew can get this champion, I can guarantee that your position is at least five grades." Li Shangshu said his thoughts.

"Start, my literary brilliance." Xi Tianling frowned, although he could spend a lot of time learning those boring things, but he didn't know if half a month plus rushing was enough.

"No, no, virtuous nephew, this exam is not a test of literature, but a test of martial arts, as long as martial arts can beat the crowd, you can win this martial champion." After listening to Xi Tianling's words, Li Shangshu laughed and said.

"Oh? Wu Zhuangyuan? Xi Tianling raised his eyebrows, he didn't expect that this kind of exam, which only had a few records in history, would be encountered by himself, and his strong interest was suddenly swept over.

"That's right, it's Wu Zhuangyuan, I don't know, does the virtuous nephew have the confidence to take it?" Li Shangshu touched his beard and asked.

Xi Tianling looked at the two of them, and then said with a firm face: "This martial champion, I, Xi Tianling, have decided it!" “
