The white horse passed through the gap, and the three days were fleeting.

Today is the day when King Rong's Mansion releases the top ten lists. In front of King Rong's mansion, many talented literati gathered to watch the list, and deduced a show of all beings, depressed, regretful, jealous, and excited.

Everyone was chattering at the gate of the palace while waiting for the gate of the palace to open.

"Who is the first person in this essay test?"

"His name is Gu Fan, but I don't know who he is, he has never heard of it in Qiandu or even Daqian before!"

"yes, where did it come from?

"Why did you choose the first place in the literary exam, I really want to appreciate his poems!"

"Could it be cheating?"

"I don't know! When the door opens, go in and take a look. ”

......

Nothing was said all night.

The bright morning sun shone on Gu Fan's face through the carved wooden window. Shangguan Jiantang shook Gu Fan gently, waking up Gu Fan, who was still meeting with Zhou, and a crisp and gentle voice sounded.

"It's time to start! Today is the day of the Wangfuwen trial list, you and I will go to see the promotion list together!"

Hearing Shangguan Jiantang's call, Gu Fan's eyelashes moved slightly, sat up in a half-awake state, stretched his waist, and yawned.

"Morning!" When Gu Fan saw Shangguan Jiantang for the first time, he was amazed and rubbed his eyes vigorously.

"You... You're wearing makeup today, why are you looking like this!"

Shangguan Jiantang was wearing a plain white long brocade skirt today, with black and shiny hair pulled high, and a jade-colored hosta inserted in the bun. The face is like pink, the pink is like a fat, and the complexion is like the morning glow reflecting the snow without powder. The eyes of autumn water, the bright teeth are like shells, and the willow eyebrows and cherry mouths are like fairy queens who walked out of the Moon Palace.

"What is makeup?" Shangguan Jiantang's apricot eyes, which were not too big or too small, looked at Gu Fan Dao with a little doubt.

"Well, just use some rouge gouache. ”

"In front of the mirror, the color of the meeting is very poor, and if you use a little, will you feel a lot more ugly?"

This is a proposition! Gu Fan said without hesitation. "It's beautiful! It's a hundred times better than the Oiran in the Qiandu!"

"Hmm, have you seen the Oiran of Qiandu, how do you know who looks good with her?"

Gu Fan's face froze, and his heart skipped a slight beat, it's over! Phew! How can you compare the oiran with your mouth, isn't this a whole job for yourself!

Shangguan Jiantang saw Gu Fan's embarrassment and laughed. I saw her apricot eyes, which seemed to be holding a pool of autumn water, with a smile on her pretty face, and said to Gu Fan.

"Kidding you!"

Gu Fan immediately paid attention to changing the topic and asked Shangguan Jiantang. "What did you say just now?"

"Just now I said, if you don't get up again, the palace martial arts test is about to start!" Shangguan Jiantang said with a serious face.

"I didn't plan to participate in this martial arts test! ”

Gu Fan slowly put on his plain robe, came to the table and picked up the teacup, and said unhurriedly.

"Why? Is it because of the martial arts competition, and you have no confidence in your own cultivation?" Shangguan Jiantang didn't understand Gu Fan's intentions.

Gu Fan poured the tea into his mouth, rinsed it, and said slowly after spitting it out.

"This is barely counted, my cultivation is only one of the realms, and it is not so brilliant!"

"But I just think that one thing, this competition is meaningless to us, how can we win and lose? The top of the limelight is easier to attract people's attention, and our original intention is to make a bounty, and making a fortune in silence is the king!"

Facing Gu Fan's explanation, Shangguan Jiantang's little head nodded slightly and agreed. "And what about the second one?"

"Second, if you think about it, this is the county lord recruiting his son-in-law! And it's not an ordinary county lord, the emperor is the first daughter, and the only daughter of the king of Rong! Is it so hasty to recruit relatives, I'm sure this is a game! It's just a chess game played by some superiors!"

Gu Fan's eyes revealed a bright light of wisdom, and patiently explained to Shangguan Jiantang. Gu Fan, who can eat people at the border without spitting out bones, and intrigue in the military camp, grows up stumbling like this, and is naturally not a stupid person!

Shangguan Jiantang was still very puzzled: "What's the situation?"

"Miss, I'm not Bai Xiaosheng!How do I know!But I'm sure that this martial arts test is not going so smoothly!" Gu Fan said helplessly in the face of her curiosity.

Gu Fan went downstairs as he did in the past and wrote some poems. Suddenly, Gu Fan's eyes flashed, and he said to Shangguan Jiantang beside him: "There you have it! I have thought of what to name this study!"

After that, Gu Fan hurriedly ran to the door, took off the plaque and placed it horizontally on the table, grinding the pen, and doing it in one go. The three words "Tibetan Sword Zhai" appear on the plaque, and they are divided into three points.

"What does this Tibetan Sword Zhai mean? Why did you name the sword character in the study, is this killing breath a little heavier?" Shangguan Jiantang on the side was puzzled.

Gu Fan turned his delicate face to Shangguan Jiantang and looked at her meaningfully.

"I hide the future female sword saint in this study, this is a great honor for this book, isn't it!

At this time, Gu Fan felt a pain in his waist, Shangguan Jiantang didn't know when he came to his side, pinching the tender flesh on Gu Fan's waist, and her face flashed with a hint of ruddy. "Less is not serious!"

"Okay! I just hope that although you and I are distressed by the Qi Sea Dantian, I hope you can regain the courage to look at the world in the past! The phoenix only waits for the day of Nirvana, and the light of the sword is cold on the fourteen continents!" Gu Fan said loudly.

Shangguan Jiantang looked at Gu Fan beside him, feeling that he was like a weed, still tough despite the wind and rain. No one can stop the pace of upward growth!

......

The inner hall of King Rong's mansion.

The stage is still arranged like the previous literary test, but everyone in the audience is missing Gu Fan and Shangguan Jiantang!

Although there are two less, it is harmless. This does not affect the expectations of the talented scholars for the next martial arts test.

But there was one exception, who was dressed in brocade clothes and looked like a noble son, sitting alone in a corner of the main hall, with two empty seats beside him. She is Ke Yixue, who is alias Jia Ming!

Ke Yixue's expression was a little depressed, and she kept looking left and right, as if she was looking for something and expecting something.

But in the end, she was disappointed that the martial arts test was about to start, and there was still no trace of Gu Fan, and she felt very lost and a little angry in her heart, and she was actually released by Gu Fan!

Since reading the poems written by Gu Fan, Ke Yixue has an indescribable feeling for Gu Fan, looking forward to seeing him again, but it is a bamboo basket to draw water, and there is no joy.

At this time, a family of servants hurriedly ran into the palace, and hurriedly told King Rong Ke Mo on the stage that the five princes had driven to King Rong's mansion!

After a while, a burly young man dressed in a dark samurai robe, with clear facial features and sword eyebrows, walked into the inner hall, followed by a middle-aged man in a scholar's green robe who looked gentle and elegant.

At this time, King Rong Kemo, who had been sitting firmly on the stage, walked up to the burly young man and bowed slightly, bowed his hand and said, "Welcome, Fifth Highness!"

The burly young man is Ji Yu, the fifth son of the current Emperor Qian, and he is also one of the two people who are in the limelight for the throne today. He waved his hand politely and said, "King Rong doesn't need to be polite, let's get straight to the point, I came here today to propose to King Rong!"

King Rong Kemo frowned tightly and said: "Your Highness! This is not in accordance with the rules, I have already promised Xue'er, and this civil and military recruitment has been carried out more than halfway!"

"It's okay! I also like fair competition, but if there is no competition, then I am the winner, isn't it? Jin Yue! I will 'invite' all the talented people out of the Rong Palace!" the fifth prince Ji Yu replied domineeringly.

The middle-aged man beside "Nuo" arched his hand, wanting to disperse everyone in the hall.

"Fifth Highness, this is not polite!" Driving people out of his palace was tantamount to slapping him in the face, and King Rong Ke Mo said with a little embarrassment.

Ke Yixue, who was very depressed in the audience and drank tea alone, saw the domineering behavior of the five princes, and her face changed slightly. She was in a bad mood because she was released by Gu Fan, and she was very unhappy when she saw the five princes.

Just as everyone in the hall was about to be invited out by the middle-aged man next to the fifth prince, the previous domestic servant came to Rongwang Kemo again and said.

"Lord Wang! The third prince has arrived!"

When the fifth prince Ji Yu heard this, his pupils shrunk, his brows frowned, and his face flashed a little unnatural and unpleasant. He muttered, "Wherever I am, he will follow!"

Immediately, into the inner hall of the palace, a weak man in an apricot-yellow silk robe walked in, and between his eyebrows was waiting for a scholarly manner, this person was none other than Ji Yin, the third prince! He entered the inner hall alone, and the guards in heavy armor beside him were left outside the palace.

The corners of the third prince's mouth rose slightly, and he looked at Ji Yu and laughed: "Yo! Such a coincidence! This is not my dear fifth brother! Why do you come to King Rong's Mansion in person!"

The fifth prince, Ji Yu, bowed slightly, and said without showing weakness: "I've seen the third brother! I just proposed to King Rong, and you came! Are you here to say hello to me?"

The third prince Ji Yin's face was as usual, as if he didn't hear Ji Yu's sarcasm, and said to him: "Fifth brother, how can it be so coincidental, I also want to marry Xue'er, and I came to propose marriage to King Rong!"

King Rong watched the atmosphere in the hall gradually become tense, and the two people who were facing Mai Mang with needles and arrows were really big for a while. The royal affair is so grinding. It's best that he has to come forward and say with a calm face.

"Well, since both highnesses want to marry Xue'er, why don't you listen to her request?"

The two princes probably wanted to win over the emperor because of King Rong's deep belief in the emperor, but he had already given him the steps, and he didn't dare to be too presumptuous.

"It's fine!

Rongwang Ke Mo walked towards the stage, came to Ke Yixue, who was sitting in the audience, and said with a slightly wry smile: "Xue'er, what do you think should be done?"

Although Ke Yixue was disgusted, she did not lose her mind. Her eyes moved, her mind turned a thousand times, she showed a sly smile, and said after saluting the two princes unhurriedly.

Since thanks to the love of the two Highnesses, if you can win the first work of the previous literary test, then Xue'er will marry this person. ”

Ke Yixue said that, he asked King Rong and the two princes to resign, and withdrew from the inner hall of the palace on the grounds that it was not appropriate to recruit the protagonist and not show his face.

"Oh, can you compare and win the first poem in the previous literary examination? I don't know King Rong, can you take a look at the first masterpiece of the literary examination?"

The fifth prince Ji Yu also has this question, it can be seen from the past that Ji Yu is domineering, and in order to successfully marry today, he has arranged a lot of secret hands! For example, spreading scandals about the appearance of the county lord, interfering with the participation of some powerful children, etc.

The quality of the talented scholars who can participate in recruiting relatives can be imagined, and there are very few young talents in Qiandu who participate, and most of them are frustrated talents. Therefore, how could the county lord make such a strange request, so that he would not be satisfied?

Ji Yu really didn't expect Gu Fan's variable!

Rong Wang Kemo touched his beard, instructed his subordinates to pick up Gu Fan's poems, and showed a meaningful smile. made the third prince and the fifth prince suddenly a little confused.
