"Where is Hou Gongzi going?"

Zhou Xuan seemed to have expected Hou Shigui to leave, and stood up in time to stop him.

Seeing Hou Shigui looking at him with a fierce face, Zhou Xuan was not only not afraid, but also sneered:

"Where young talents from all over the world gather, under the watchful eyes of the prince and the Western Regions mission, Hou Gongzi said that he would leave, is it a bit rude?"

Zhou Xuan deliberately raised his voice to speak, so now even the people in the distance noticed that Hou Shigui was here, and they all pointed here:

"That's Hou Shigui? Didn't you say you were going to do big things? ”

"yes, why are you leaving? Isn't it the prince in person, this is cowardly? ”

"I think it must be, this guy is just a good fortune on weekdays, and when he meets the prince, isn't it that a mouse sees a cat and has to lie on his stomach obediently?"

Hou Shigui was stopped by Zhou Xuan, looked around, and saw full of hostility and disdain.

None of the people present looked at him with the slightest kindness in their eyes.

He didn't care, he just nodded:

"Okay, since you have worked hard to help me pass the assessment, I can't live up to your enthusiasm, right?"

With that, he turned around and walked towards the boat on the riverbank.

At the same time, Zhou Xuan sneered, and hurriedly followed him and said:

"That's right, Hou Gongzi, this son also knows that Meng Lang in the past, there are many places that collide with Gongzi.

It was because he knew that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would participate in the Xingchun Party in the future, so he took great pains to arrange for the prince......"

One set on his lips, but another set in his heart.

The Xiling barbarians, although galloping on horses.

But you Xiling people are all landlubbers, and this ship has already been tampered with, even if you can't drown, it will make you seriously ill!

Zhou Xuan was proud in his heart, but he didn't want to walk to the side of the boat with Hou Shigui, but Hou Shigui raised his hand and pressed his arm:

"Since you are so painstakingly trying to settle old grudges with me, then please get on the boat first."

After speaking, no matter how Zhou Xuan responded, he grabbed him directly and threw it on the boat.

As soon as Zhou Xuan was thrown into the boat, the boat immediately began to crack in the middle, splitting in half.

Fortunately, Zhou Xuan knew how to water, and with the help of his companions, he was able to climb ashore.

Raising his hand to wipe the water droplets on his face, he yelled at Hou Shigui:

"Hou Shigui! I'm kind enough to help you, what are you doing?! ”

Hou Shigui made a helpless expression:

"I don't know that this boat is so unsolid, it's not my fault, you should blame the craftsman who built this boat."

With that, he took a detour to the side of the promenade, and walked from the promenade to the opposite bank.

At the same time, behind the screen on the other side, a young man who was about the same age as Hou Shigui sat upright behind the screen, listening to the report of the inner supervisor of the East Palace:

"Your Highness, that Hou Shigui threw the prince into the water."

This young man was born beautifully, and his face was extremely good, which can be described as a jade tree in the wind.

And the body is straight, like a statue.

Hearing this, the young man's face did not change, but he said:

"I know, how is the son, but there are still people injured?"

The inner supervisor shook his head and said:

"The prince is fine, he can still scold Hou Shigui after he goes ashore, except for the prince, no one else is injured."

At the same time, a middle-aged Confucian who was accompanying the prince said:

"Your Highness, the sage said: pro-gentleman and far from villain, that Hou Shigui is a complete villain, let him land, I am afraid that it will pollute His Highness's gentlemanly spirit, but I want to order him to leave?"

The prince thought for a moment, then shook his head and said:

"Since he has passed the examination, he deserves to kick the shore, but I don't want to see him, and I can't drive him away, this is not a gentleman's doing.

Big deal, I don't meet him, I don't talk to him. ”

"Your Highness is benevolent."

All the people around them bowed down together.

Then, I saw a blurry figure outside the screen slowly approaching:

"Minister, Hou Shigui, meet His Royal Highness the Prince."

This is the routine of those who pass the examiner, and almost every examiner who goes ashore will go to the screen to pay a visit.

Because Hou Shigui had been delayed before, he was the last to go ashore, so at this time, he was the only one outside the screen to meet the prince.

It stands to reason that after he bowed down, the prince should say a few words to get him up.

But behind the screen, there was silence.

Not only the prince, but even those people around the prince were not happy to deal with Hou Shigui.

Seeing that Hou Shigui remained motionless in that position, the people on the other side of the river all laughed.

That Zhou Xuan smiled and said to the people around him:

"The prince has read the books of sages since he was a child, and he is also a gentleman, as the saying goes, the gentleman is far from a villain, and the prince does not want to talk to the villain Hou Shigui.

Let's see how this Hou Shigui stepped down? ”

Even the few talented people who passed the assessment on the shore looked at Hou Shigui with a sneer, and said in their ears:

"This Xiling barbarian is not able to measure his strength, he dares to be on the same stage as me, his body is not an inch long, and he can't even cope with the current scene in this stage, isn't he smiling and generous?"

"Brother Zhang's words are reasonable, the surname Hou has no talent and no virtue, I'm afraid that he can't even write a limerick, but his face is so thick, he dares to make a fool of himself on stage? Hehe, this man, don't be ashamed, how is it different from a brute? ”

There were two people who spoke, one was called Zhang Hum and the other was Yang Kou.

They are all friends of Zhou Xuan, especially this Yang Kou, counting from the ancestors, and also has some relatives with the Great Chu royal family.

It's just that when it comes to his vein, he can only make a flat-headed little cloth clothes.

The two of them had already been instructed by Zhou Xuan, if Hou Shigui could finally stand on the stage, the two would be ruthless.

Therefore, the two of them spoke so loudly that almost everyone on the shore could hear them clearly.

There is also a screen on the case, and behind the screen, a group of exotic Hu people are also looking curiously at Hou Shigui and the prince next to them.

"Sir, isn't that person from Chu? Why do other Chu people still call him a barbarian? ”

In the center of the Hu people, a bearded woman wearing a veil asked curiously.

Beside her, there was a scholar from the Central Plains dressed as a Chinese scholar who explained to her:

"The princess doesn't know that in the hearts of Chu people, only people from the Central Plains can be called authentic.

And that person, named Hou Shigui, was born in Xiling.

Xiling has lived with the grassland people on the grassland since ancient times, half ploughing and half farming, and many people have the blood of barbarians, so some Chu people will call Xiling people barbarians......

This is not only the case in Xiling, but also Lingnan in the south and ...... in the north."

"Prairie people?"

The princess of the Western Regions had a surprise in her eyes, and her gaze couldn't help but dim when she looked at Hou Shigui:

"These grassland people are rude and rude, and they will be troubled by the prince of Chu, and they will end up in a difficult situation......"

As she spoke, she began to think.

If you call yourself, how do you deal with it?

Pretend to laugh out loud and laugh uninhibitedly, and then nothing happens to the bento?

Or just hunched over and waiting for the prince to speak?

Under the watchful eye, no matter what kind of decision you make, you will lose your face.
