Chapter 10 The Examination of the Scholars of the Kingdom (I)
It was rainy, and the rain line filled the sky and the earth, and it was hazy in the eyes.
This rain brings the breath of winter and the chill of winter.
Panlong Palace, is one of the palaces of the royal family, usually rarely opened, now, there are many people standing in the hall, a trace of strong breath spreads out, or soft or strong or blazing, different breaths unconsciously collide, bursting out of more terrifying power, layer by layer fluctuations.
Each one looked very old, about twenty years old, no more than twenty-four, and was dressed in different ways, but the robes and decorations on their bodies were so exquisite.
"Brother Yan, are you sure?"
"I don't even know the content of the assessment, so I can only do my best to be sure. ”
"Speaking of assessments, I wonder what this year's assessment will look like?"
There was a lot of talk everywhere, and it was noisy.
Chen Zong stood in the crowd.
Half a month has passed since the second prince invited guests in Baifeng Tower, during which the news about Chen Zong has naturally been spread out, and it is known to other members of the Dragon Pavilion, and the eldest prince and the third prince have also contacted Chen Zong, and their purpose is naturally to win over Chen Zong for their use.
However, Chen Zong did not agree to them, using the procrastination trick, and he could delay it if he could.
It is worth mentioning that the wine and food in Baifenglou are indeed very delicious, which really makes Chen Zong feel like he will not want to return, but fortunately, Chen Zong is determined and can restrain himself.
In this half a month of cultivation, the cultivation is still in the middle of the ninth turn of the cultivation realm, but it is getting closer and closer to the later stage, perhaps because of the relationship between the many geniuses of the Dragon Pavilion, the pressure brought by it is invisibly promoted, and the sword technique has improved a few points, which is better than the usual penance for one or two months.
Today, it is also the day of the national soldier assessment, as Zhengyuan Hou said, there will be three places, two more than in previous years, but the content of the assessment, but it is not clear, causing countless speculations.
Guan Yunxiao also stood in the crowd, his face was not very good, because recently someone knew that he recommended Chen Zong, and it seemed that he also knew that his relationship with Chen Zong was not very good, and he was ridiculed by many people for a while, especially his opponent.
In life, who doesn't have a few people who don't like their eyes, and who doesn't have a few people who don't like themselves.
"Senior Brother Chen. "A somewhat cold voice, somewhat familiar.
"Senior sister. Chen Zong looked back and was surprised to see Shi Huanyue's delicate and heroic face.
On Shi Huanyue's delicate face, there was a hint of smile, and in an instant, it was like seeing the moon through the clouds, which made people lose their minds.
Shi Huanyue left Linshan Courtyard a month ago, and no one knew where she went, but she didn't expect to come to the royal capital and participate in the national soldier assessment.
However, seeing the teacher return to the moon made Chen Zong feel happy.
"My brother has been very famous recently. Shi Huanyue walked next to Chen Zong, and a fresh smell with a unique aroma wafted into Chen Zong's nose, which smelled very good, as if it could refresh his mind.
"Senior Sister is also a member of the Dragon Pavilion?" Chen Zong was slightly stunned and asked rhetorically.
"Human-level cabinet member. Shi Huanyue smiled slightly, and the moon-like temperament on his body became more and more obvious, giving Chen Zong a feeling that at this moment, Shi Huanyue's combat power has improved compared with before, but I don't know if it is the middle or late stage of the four-star stage.
Seeing that Chen Zong and Shi were talking and laughing, many people were jealous.
After all, Shi Huanyue is quite good in terms of appearance, talent and background, and there are naturally many people who love her.
"Huanyue, is this your friend?" An extraordinary young man, with a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth, strode over, his eyes swept over Shi Huanyue, with a hint of affection, and when he looked at Chen Zong, he swept a trace of coldness.
"My name is Shi Huanyue. Shi Huanyue's response was cold, and he did not respond to the other party's question.
"Hehe, it's still a month, don't be so cold, you know, we're childhood sweethearts. A trace of annoyance flashed in the eyes of the handsome young man, and he immediately smiled.
Shi Huanyue didn't respond, and directly ignored the other party, which made the other party very helpless.
"Senior brother, I'll go first. Shi Huanyue said to Chen Zong, in order not to cause trouble to Chen Zong as much as possible, he turned around and left.
"Your name is Chen Zong, a newly promoted prefecture-level cabinet member of the Dragon Pavilion, and you do have great potential, but I advise you to stay away from the moon. The handsome young man approached Chen Zong and warned in a low voice: "Otherwise, if you anger me, no one will be able to protect you." ”
With that, the young man turned and left.
"Chen Zong, you actually provoked the prince of Yuwen Ran, do you know that this will cause trouble for my uncle. Guan Yunxiao seemed to seize some opportunity, and walked over to scold Chen Zong.
Glancing at Guan Yunxiao, Chen Zong ignored it.
Shizi, these two words directly reveal the identity of the young man, the son of a certain prince.
In dynasties, the emperor's son is the prince, and the prince's son is called the prince.
The Yunlong King has five princes, three of whom are guarding the three states, such as the Chongshan King of Chongshan Prefecture, but the surname of the Chongshan King is Ye, which belongs to the foreign surname Wang, and the Yuwenran prince in Guan Yunxiao's mouth, his father is the inner surname Wang, and the current emperor is a brother.
In other words, Yu Wenran and the three princes may be cousins, and such an identity is indeed very scary.
And the name Yu Wenran, Chen Zong also knew that one of the prefecture-level cabinet members of the Dragon Pavilion had a five-star late-stage combat power, which was very strong, ranking twenty-sixth on the Dynasty Jiaolong list.
Whether it is in terms of identity or strength, it is not a wise choice to be an enemy of Yu Wenran, but who would have expected this, it can only be said that Chen Zong's luck is not very good, and it can only be said that Yu Wenran's heart is not very broad-minded.
Such a consequence was something that Chen Zong could not have expected.
Chen Zong was curious about the identity of the master and the moon.
There was a commotion in the crowd, and I saw a middle-aged man who looked about forty years old with a majestic face striding over, this middle-aged man was wearing a dragon crown and a gold and silver dragon robe, and the dragon on it was purple, majestic and majestic, with a hint of luxury.
"Young talents, it is your honor to participate in the national soldier assessment. The middle-aged man smiled slightly.
Chen Zong recognized the identity of the other party, the Purple Dragon King, one of the two kings of the royal capital.
The other king is the Black Dragon King.
The two kings of the royal capital are brothers with the current emperor.
"This dynasty will award three national scholars, and only by passing the assessment can they obtain the corresponding qualifications. The Purple Dragon King continued, his majestic gaze swept by, bringing an invisible pressure to everyone, and this pressure could not be described clearly in words.
If I am not mistaken, the five kings of the dynasty are all true transcendent realm powerhouses.
Chen Zong's eyes widened as much as he could, trying to see clearly what the difference between the powerhouse of the transcendent realm and the below the transcendent realm was, but he couldn't see it, and if he didn't reach that level, he couldn't appreciate the mystery of that level at all, he only felt that the mountains looked up to the sea and the sea was immeasurably deep and vast like an abyss, and standing in front of him, he felt infinitely small.
"As for the content of the assessment, it is a task. ”
After the Purple Dragon King's words fell, someone walked over with a jade bib, which was engraved with countless dragon patterns, and at the same time hung a carved dragon white jade plaque the size of a baby's palm.
The total number of carved dragon white jade plaques is one hundred.
There were as many as ninety-eight geniuses present to participate in the national soldier assessment, and each of them could be called geniuses, some of them had five-star combat power, some had four-star combat power, and some had only three-star combat power.
However, those three-star combat power people, because their cultivation has not yet reached the peak of the ninth transformation of the cultivation realm, if they are promoted to the extreme, there is a great possibility that their combat power will be increased to four-star, and the potential is amazing.
Fortunately, the title of national soldier is not obtained by looking at whose cultivation is high and whose combat power is strong, otherwise it can be directly canonized to those with the strongest combat power.
"Everyone chooses a jade plaque, and that will be your assessment task. The Purple Dragon King said.
Everyone stepped forward in order and selected the carved dragon white jade plate.
Each piece of carved dragon white jade plate looks the same from the outside, what assessment task will be chosen, it depends on the luck of the individual, maybe the selected task is easier to complete, or the selected task is more difficult to complete.
Chen Zong stepped forward and reached out to grab a carved dragon white jade plaque, which felt warm to the touch.
"Clear the Baishui Village, pick the head of the owner of the Baishui Village and hand it in. "Someone read out the content of their assessment task.
"I also asked for advice on the assessment task of Baishuizhai. ”
"What, the assessment task is the same. ”
Everyone was very smart, and their faces changed drastically when their brains turned.
Originally, they thought that the assessment tasks on each carved dragon white jade plate were different, but now it seems that they are not.
There are three national warrior titles this time, which means that among the ninety-eight people who participated in the assessment, ninety-five will be eliminated, which is already quite cruel, and in the case of the same task, the competition will be intensified, after all, there is only one person who completes a task.
Thinking about this clearly, everyone's hearts are even more awkward.
Chen Zong flipped over the carved dragon white jade plate to see the content of his assessment task.
"Hunt down the flower evil horse for thousands of miles and win the head. ”
"Flower Evil Ma Qianli......" Chen Zong frowned slightly, there was very little information, Flower Evil should be a nickname, and Ma Qianli was a name, there was no more description, invisibly, it aggravated the difficulty of the assessment task.
In the world, there are many people with the same name and surname, but fortunately, there is a flower evil nickname, which adds some convenience.
"Who is Chisato Hanama?" someone asked, but no one answered him.
Chen Zong immediately knew that this person's assessment task was the same as his own, but he didn't know how many people had gotten this task.
The more people, the greater the competition and the more difficult.
"Remember, no matter what the task is, the assessment time is one month, starting tomorrow, and if you return to the task within a month, you will pass the assessment and be eligible to compete for the title of national soldier. The Purple Dragon King said.
In other words, this assessment task is just a means of elimination.
"Alright, you can act. As soon as the Purple Dragon King's voice fell, everyone saluted one after another, and quickly turned around and left.
"Who the hell is the Flower Evil Horse Chisa?" The thought flashed, and Chen Zong was sure that he had indeed not heard of this nickname and this name.
"Perhaps, with the help of the power of the Dragon Pavilion. ”
It's just that Chen Zong doesn't know if the ten dragon teeth can make the cabinet members investigate the identity of the flower evil horse Qianli as soon as possible, so he can only give it a try.
