"The dog has been restless since he was a child, and after following Xu Tianshi, he still makes trouble all day long, and he hasn't come back since he left home, and he doesn't know if he goes home to see when he comes back, I really don't know if you still have a little filial piety." Although the father of the Qinghua Daoist said in a very stern tone, the concern between the lines could still be felt.

"Haven't I come back? Besides, I'm going to be back in the next few days, so why bother. The Qinghua Taoist muttered quietly.

"Huh?"

Seeing his father's slightly angry expression, Qinghua Daoist quickly changed the topic, "Brother Xiao, my father must have known you, this is my father." ”

The father of Qinghua Taoist is named Biaoren, the word Zhaoxuan, and is the third son of Taichangqing Gao Gong.

Xiao Yu hurriedly saluted.

"Okay Zhaoxuan, don't say it anymore, isn't Huai'er already back, come and eat vegetables." Taichang Qing Gao Gong's words, Gao Biaoren didn't dare not listen, and hurriedly said yes.

"Father, come and try this." The Qinghua Taoist diligently sandwiched a large piece of meat for the grandfather, and it seemed that the relationship between the grandfather and grandson was really good.

With the active presence of Qinghua Daoren, the laughter and laughter at the banquet are absolutely indispensable. Gao Gong doesn't look at a lot of age, but his spirit is better than that of ordinary young people, and he is still energetic after listening to the Qinghua Taoist talk about the interesting things in various places for more than half an hour, while Gao Biaoren has to say a few words to Xiao Yu from time to time.

Overall, Xiao Yu didn't feel a little bit of officialdom, and his evaluation of the three grandparents was even higher.

"By the way, Father, I heard that the winner of this merit will be selected after the Holy Lord comes back in person?" The Qinghua Taoist turned the topic to the virtuous talents.

Tai Changqing put down his chopsticks, looked at Xiao Yu, who was also interested, and smiled, "You guys are very well-informed." That's right, it's going to wait for the saint to come back, it should be soon, just these ten days. ”

"Huai'er, I'm going to see the virtuous. Your friend's Taoism is good, but unfortunately, he still didn't win in the end. Gao Gong shook his head regretfully.

Xiao Yu had already guessed the intention of the imperial court in his heart, although he lost, he did not feel remorseful, what he really cared about was how the imperial court would place the winners of the two parts with a total of twenty.

"Alas, don't mention it, it's all that widow, and they will play tricks." The people of Qinghua Dao are still angry about yesterday's events.

"May I ask Lord Gao, how will the imperial court arrange these twenty winners." Xiao Yu couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, Father, you must know, tell us quickly." Qinghua Taoist people also came to be interested.

Gao Gong smiled slightly and took a sip of tea, "Of course it's reused, such a good foundation just keeps them in the army, and they will all be the pillars of my Great Sui in the future." ”

"What about the cultivators of the foreign lands?" Gao Gong's answer obviously did not completely satisfy Xiao Yu.

"This old man really doesn't know, because it should be treated equally, it is the servant Shaoqing who deals with this matter specifically, and it is not the old man's responsibility to arrange the specific arrangement."

Xiao Yu was shocked when he heard this.

The servant Shaoqing is in charge of the chariot and the shepherd, although it seems that the official position is not high, but he has been with the emperor for a long time, and he can be said to be a close minister of the emperor. Moreover, today's servant Shaoqing is Yu Wenhua, the father of Yuwen Gongzi, who was beaten by Xiao Yu and is known as one of the three evil young men in Daxing City!

"So, then, what will be done?"

Well? Xiao Yu's eagerness made Gao Gong feel strange.

Xiao Yu was taken aback, knowing that he had lost his words, and hurriedly said, "The junior is just a little curious, curious." ”

"Brother Xiao, do you want to be an official, just say it earlier, I'll let the grandfather arrange it."

Gao Gong laughed when he heard this, and Xiao Yu glared at Qinghua Daoist fiercely.

Before coming, Xiao Yu had already eaten half full, and he didn't eat much at the banquet. Taichang Qing Gao Gong's main purpose is to catch the Qinghua Taoist back, and he didn't have too much praise for Xiao Yu's Taoism between his words, it may be that he is in a high position, and a cultivator like Xiao Yu may see not ten thousand but eight thousand, Xiao Yu doesn't care, although he still can't figure out the final whereabouts of those foreign cultivators in his heart, but he still resists his curiosity and chats with the three of his ancestors and grandchildren during the banquet.

......

After the banquet, Qinghua Daoist was forcibly left at home, leaving Xiao Yu alone to return to the inn.

The remaining three people in the inn had already finished eating, and were sitting around the table waiting for Xiao Yu to come back.

Han Liyan was still relentlessly asking Jin Ju about some things about the women's country. When Dou Jiande saw Xiao Yu come back, he grinned.

"May I ask who is Xiao Yu, the senior disciple of the Daxingcheng Sect?"

Xiao Yu was just about to raise his legs and enter the inn, when a person behind him followed.

"Brother Xiao, what's wrong, why did you suddenly become so famous?" Han Liyan looked at Xiao Yu, who was just about to come in and was taken away, and complained dissatisfiedly.

"There's no way, they're the big disciples of the Daxingcheng faction." Jin Poly sour slipped out a sentence.

Han Liyan's eyes widened, "Female doll, let me hear you say bad things about Brother Xiao again, and I will tear your mouth apart." ”

"I'm from a woman's country, but I'm not a girl doll, okay." Jin Ju didn't dare to look at Han Liyan, lowered his head and looked at the foot of the table and protested in a low voice.

"Please"

"Please"

As soon as Xiao Yu came out of one big mansion, he was pulled into another big mansion.

There were seven or eight cultivators gathered at the gate of the big mansion, most of whom Xiao Yu knew, and all of them had passed the re-election of the virtuous people, and they were now greeting each other at the gate.

The entrance of the mansion is much bigger than the door of Taichang Qing Gao Gong just now, and the plaque directly above the door has several big characters written on it "Chu State Mansion".

Chu Guogong Yang Su!

How did you get here?

If Taichangqing Gao Gong is a high authority, then Yang Su, the Duke of Chu, is powerful.

Before Xiao Yu could figure it out, he was led into the mansion by a group of subordinates.

"Brother Xiao."

"Ah, it turned out to be Brother Xiao."

Although Xiao Yu did not pass the re-election, his performance in the re-election had already conquered most of the cultivators. The cultivators who were invited to come all greeted Xiao Yu sincerely, and even the outstanding Master Mo Rong smiled at Xiao Yu.

After a period of greetings, Xiao Yu followed everyone to the backyard garden. A large open space was vacated in the middle of the garden, and eight or nine small bearded tables were placed in an orderly manner, and the monks sat down in separate positions under the guidance of the descendants.

"Brother Xiao, do you know what the purpose of this Duke of Chu invited us to come?" A yellow-faced, small-eyed cultivator sitting next to Xiao Yu asked.

This person Xiao Yu knew, his name was Chu Jiaci, he was a cultivator on the bank of Yunmengze, and he won the third competition in the second round.

"I'm ashamed, I don't know it."

"It's really strange that almost all the cultivators who passed the double election came, but they didn't know why." Chu Jiaci shook his head.

Xiao Yu looked around, there were eight cultivators present in addition to himself, all of them were cultivators who passed the double selection, to be precise, except for two foreign cultivators who won the competition, such as the samurai Su I Ezo who won in Xiao Yu's competition, all of them came.

"Wait, we'll find out right away." Xiao Yu looked around at the scenery of the garden.

"It's really hard to make all the Dao masters wait for a long time." It didn't take long for a tall figure to slowly walk into the garden surrounded by a group of subordinates.

This is the eldest son of Yang Su, the Duke of Chu, and Yang Xuangan, who is known as the Duke of Little Chu. Xiao Yu looked at this aristocratic kid with a rough face.

Yang Xuangan returned the salute to the cultivators who stood up and saluted him one by one, and after greetings, everyone sat down again.

"Lord Yang originally wanted to invite all the great powers to come to the house at noon to gather, but they were riddled with mundane things, so they had to aggrieved everyone to come to the garden to enjoy the plum blossoms, but unfortunately the plum blossoms that were fine in the morning were blown away by the wind all of a sudden, I'm afraid I am ashamed to see your powers." A man with clear eyebrows standing beside Yang Xuangan spoke.

"Hahaha, Lord Yang is very loving." All the monks felt a light on their faces.

Well? Compared with Yang Xuangan, Xiao Yu was more interested in this man. The man was dressed in a long robe, and although he exuded a bookish air, he was definitely not pedantic.

Looking at the face, this person is not simple, he is Yang Xuangan's subordinate? Doesn't it look like it? Xiao Yu thought to himself.

"Come, come, let's try the good tea that is treasured in my house, which I have been grinding and brewing at my father's place for a long time." Yang Xuangan also took the opportunity to enliven the atmosphere.

"Please"

"Lord Yang, please."

After a few words, everyone lost the restraint at the beginning, and began to talk one after another, even the relatively high-ranking Mo Rong Shichen was talking to Yang Xuangan happily.

Xiao Yu felt that the man next to Yang Xuan was always looking at him intentionally or unintentionally, and there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, which made Xiao Yu feel that this person was not simple.

"Brother Xiao, hahaha, you are out of the limelight in terms of talents. Brother Xiao is hiding deep enough, that day, Brother Xiao went to the temple with Li Gongcao to pray for rain, and the old man really looked away. Monk Pu Jing walked over with a smile.

Monks are often referred to as brothers. Therefore, the monk Pujing did not call Xiao Yu as the benefactor, but affectionately called Xiao Yu the Xiao brother.

Xiao Yu hurriedly got up, "The monk praised it falsely, Daxingshan Temple is really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger, isn't the hidden place of the monk deeper than below?" ”

"Hahaha, brother said with a smile. You may be seated, please be seated, and there is no need to be polite. Master Pu Jing laughed heartily.

Xiao Yu originally wanted to ask how Changning was doing, but after thinking about it for a long time, he still didn't speak, thinking that he might be a little embarrassed to meet with the Tianzhu monk Nalian Tiyeshe in the future, no matter what, he had seriously injured other people's apprentices.

"Brother Xiao's performance in talent is really wonderful." After Monk Pu Jing left, more and more people began to come over to greet Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu also knew how to exchange courtesies, and he also got up and went to greet the cultivators, everyone was originally a cultivator, and there was no competition at this time, and after a while, the relationship between everyone became much closer, and Yang Xuangan walked down from the main seat at this time to greet the cultivators one by one.

"The great disciple of the Daxingcheng faction." Yang Xuangan walked up to Xiao Yu with a smile.

"Don't dare, this is a joke from my friend. In the next Jiebu Yi, he has his own teacher, and he is not a big disciple of the Daxingcheng faction. Xiao Yu hurriedly waved his hand to explain, causing everyone to laugh.

"Haha, it's okay, it's okay, the name, it's just a title, it doesn't matter." Yang Xuangan's big hand on Xiao Yu's shoulder was slightly forced, "Now is the time for the imperial court to employ people, although Brother Xiao did not pass the re-election, but I will beg my father to recommend Brother Xiao to the imperial court, and there are many great powers, and great powers omission the wilderness, which is against the will of heaven." ”

Yang Xuangan turned his head and said loudly to everyone.

The crowd applauded.

Xiao Yu felt the strength of Yang Xuangan's hand, and was surprised in his heart, he didn't know what this little Chu Guogong meant, and the man who followed Yang Xuangan left and right glanced at Xiao Yu meaningfully.

After Yang Xuangan personally walked down to greet the cultivators, he clapped his hands, and a group of dancers in colorful costumes stepped forward and began the singing and dancing performance.

Xiao Yu, who doesn't like singing and dancing very much, drank tea boringly in the following time, while looking forward to ending it soon. In Xiao Yu's opinion, although the tea and dim sum are rich, they are not as happy as being with Han Liyan and Qinghua Daoren.

At night, in a secret room in the Mansion of the State of Chu.

"Xiao Yu?" Yang Xuangan's expression was serious, "What do you think of this person?" ”

"In my opinion, among these cultivators today, only Xiao Yu can be regarded as a person," the man who had been standing beside Yang Xuangan replied in the afternoon, "This person will definitely not be in the pool one day." ”

"Huh? You're so optimistic about him? ”

"Believe me, although this person is not famous now, but maybe we will have to ask him in the future?"

"Xiao Yu, Xiao Yu." Yang Xuangan sat in his chair and muttered to himself.
