Chapter Thirty-Six: The Name Falls to Sun Mountain
Just when Emperor Han was pondering how to deal with Liu Xu, His Royal Highness and everyone were silent, waiting for what kind of results the Holy Lord would announce.
Emperor Han sighed helplessly, "As for Liu Xu, the king of Wei, he will be fined for three years, and he will reflect on the mansion for these three years, and he is not allowed to go anywhere." ”
When Liu Xu heard the result of such a treatment, he was even more glad, knowing that his father was already extraordinarily gracious, so he quickly kowtowed like pounding garlic and apologized again and again.
The result of this scientific expedition can be said to be a few happy and a few worried. Liu Xu, the king of Wei, who had just gained power, never thought that in two months, everything would be overturned in an instant, and the struggle between the crown prince and the king of Ning would start again.
On February 26, it was the day when the gold list was posted in the capital, and when the gold list was posted in the capital, all the candidates saw their results, and some of the candidates who fell to Sun Shan were depressed, some were disheartened, some were crying, and some fainted on the spot. And the candidates on the list, some are complacent, some are looking up to the sky and roaring, and some are uncontrollable. There are only two expressions on everyone's face, one is loss and the other is excitement.
Lu Zuo and the others walked through the crowd and came to the front of the emperor list, the first thing they paid attention to was the top three of the first class, when Lu Renxiang saw that he was the first champion of the first class, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and he was so excited that he almost cried, and Gao Han, who ranked second, and Gao Yun, who ranked first in Wuke, were even more excited. Only Lu Zuo glanced at the top three on the emperor list, and saw that he didn't have his own name, so he didn't look any further.
Yin Ji was most curious about whether his master was on the list, but from the beginning to the end, he couldn't find the master's name, "Strange? Why didn't Master find your name? ”
Yin Ji said, Lu Renxiang and the Gao family brothers also seemed to notice the abnormality, how could Lu Zuo's talent be behind him? So a few people opened their eyes wide and began to look for it again from beginning to end.
Lu Zuo said indifferently: "Don't look for it!" My name can't have come up! ”
Gao Yun was a little anxious, as if he hadn't been admitted, and exclaimed: "Impossible!" ”
Gao Yun and the four of them searched for Lu Zuo's name three or four times, but they couldn't find it. Everyone looked at Lu Zuo with mixed feelings in their hearts, but from Lu Zuo's face, no one could see his true thoughts at the moment, as if those deep eyes had already filtered all the thoughts in his heart.
Lu Renxiang also felt incredible, "Brother, how is this possible!" With your talent, don't say that you can get the first place in Jinshike, even if it is the first place in Wuke, it is easy. Something must have gone wrong. ”
"yes, something must have gone wrong!" Everyone spoke curiously, and looked at Lu Zuo with comforting eyes, looking at the thin scholar in front of them.
Everyone can't seem to find any words to describe Lu Zuo's expression, indifferent? Helpless? Indifferent? Lose? It doesn't seem to be any of these, but it seems to have all of them, or maybe he wants to hide his inner turmoil and loss at this time! However, a person who often has high expectations for himself should be miserable when he fails to achieve the results that he and others expect. Lu Zuo, how could he still be as expressionless as usual. Is he cold-blooded at the bottom of his heart? Or is it already undersized?
Just when everyone looked at Lu Zuo uneasily, the corners of his mouth seemed to tremble? Then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he congratulated a few of them: "Now everyone can be on the list, I am very relieved." Then he smiled and said to Lu Renxiang, "Renxiang, you see that what my brother told you before is right!" ”
Lu Renxiang then remembered that his brother had indeed said this kind of thing before, and this scientific expedition had to rely on himself! I didn't know what his intentions were at the time, could it be that he had already anticipated the current situation? thought so in his heart, but he still complained for his brother, "Brother, it's time for you, you still have time to laugh." ”
Lu Zuo said: "Let's go back to the inn first!" It's not easy to talk here. ”
Several people walked back to the inn in silence. When everyone just entered the inn, the shopkeeper came up to serve, and saw that the five people were all bowing their heads and displeased, thinking that several of them were estimated to be famous in Sun Shan, so they didn't ask them how they did in the exam, but just held a tea set in front of them in a low-key manner to lead the way.
A few people arrived at the guest room, sat around the table in the middle of the room, and after the innkeeper poured the tea, he reluctantly smiled and said: "Everyone, if you have any orders, just say it, the small ones still have something, retreat first!" ”
The shopkeeper cautiously walked out of the door, for fear that these uncles would be angry with him, this kind of thing has also happened a lot, when he tiptoed the door, the dull atmosphere in the room, as if you can hear the "squeak" sound when the door is closed.
Seeing that everyone bowed their heads and was silent, Lu Zuo picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip slowly, and then said calmly: "You don't have to think too much about it, in fact, I have expected this result a long time ago!" ”
After hearing this, everyone raised their eyes instantly, and then stared at Lu Zuo, a look of surprise was written on their faces, and they asked in unison: "You already knew?" ”
"I don't know exactly what the situation is, it's just a faint feeling." Lu Zuo said and drank the tea again.
Lu Renxiang was also half-understood, looked at his brother suspiciously, and asked: "Brother, it stands to reason that you are the popular person in this subject, and your talent is also well known, and the main examiner of this subject is King Wei, and he has something to do with us, how can this situation occur now?" ”
The Gao Han brothers were in a fog when they heard it, and they were stunned and didn't dare to ask.
As soon as Yin Ji heard the name of King Wei, he also interjected and asked, "Master, why don't we go to King Wei's Mansion and ask?" ”
Lu Zuo didn't answer, he lowered his head and pondered, he always felt that something was wrong, could it be that his previous premonition had been fulfilled? But it happened too fast! Lu Zuo frowned and said, "I'm afraid that something may have happened to King Wei now?" ”
At this moment, someone knocked on the door, and a familiar and urgent voice came, "Mr. Lu!" Is Mr. Lu here? ”
Yin Ji stood up sharply and opened the door, it turned out to be An Shiqing, the eldest son of Pingyuan Bo'an Yuanshan. An Shiqing was in a hurry, sweat beads were pouring from his forehead, and as soon as he entered the door, he saluted everyone who stood up, "Everyone, please sit down!" ”
Lu Zuo asked An Shiqing to sit in Yin Ji's position, and Yin Ji had to stand behind Lu Zuo. After Lu Zuo hastily introduced An Shiqing, he curiously asked if something was wrong.
An Shiqing poured a pot of tea, drank it dry, looked at the brothers Gao Han and Gao Yun sitting on both sides, and then looked at Lu Zuo, signaling whether the two people around him were reliable. Lu Zuo nodded understandingly, "Please say it directly!" ”
"Mr. Lu, as you expected, King Wei really has an accident!" When An Shiqing came, he held back this sentence for a long time, and finally spit it out.
The people sitting in the room looked at each other with a look of incredulity.
Lu Zuo asked curiously, "What?" What's going on? Tell me about it! ”
