Chapter Eighty-Three: On the day the inner door opens, don't sit crookedly
Waiting for the official to go out of the imperial study, Huo Xiao, the commander of the guards, also bowed down and wanted to withdraw, but was stopped by Zhao Yu.
"How did you know about the situation of those students just mentioned, you must know that the things in Helan Courtyard are very mysterious!"
Huo Xiao listened to it, and hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty doesn't know, among the students of Helan Academy, there is one of our secret guards......
So, Huo Xiao explained the origin of Zhang Xiaoxian to Zhao Yu one by one.
In the end, he said: "Not only that, Zhang Xiaoxian also has a brother who is also a fellow practitioner in Helan Courtyard, and I heard that both of them can participate in this inner entrance examination!"
Zhao Yu was very happy when he heard it, especially when he heard that Zhang Xiaoxian was once the boy who helped Xiao Yungu kill all sides on Seventeenth Street, he had a little love for this young man in his heart.
Thinking that after Xiao Yungu was killed, there was a lack of a reliable ear and eye in the shadow rivers and lakes where the imperial court was located, and now I heard that there was such a young man, who not only entered Helan Courtyard but also became his own secret guard, and suddenly felt that there might be someone in the rivers and lakes of Lin'an City.
So I had the idea of looking for a chance to meet this young man in person.
"Then this student named Zhang Xiaoxian is also among the number of people recruited by the inner gate? I hope he can defeat the princes of the two countries this time and enter the inner gate to practice, if so, I can also feel at ease!"
Huo Xiao nodded solemnly when he heard this, how could he not think like this now.
It's just that Zhang Xiaoxian can really defeat the two princes? Isn't it a little too difficult for him?
......
The spring sun is shining, the warbler is flying and the grass is growing, and the day of the inner door recruitment in Helan Courtyard has finally arrived......
Early in the morning, all the teachers in the four courtyards of Helan Courtyard gathered in front of the wide lawn of Helan Academy, and behind them were the twelve students who stood out from more than 600 students and were qualified to participate in the inner entrance examination.
It's just that the twelve students at this time have become thirteen, no, it should be fourteen.
Because except for Ruan Yang, the great prince of the Yue Turkic Kingdom, he had already come among them, causing everyone to exclaim.
Another stout young man with short hair, dressed in a coarse cloth robe, carrying a knife at his waist, and carrying a bag on his back, also stood among the dozen or so people.
As soon as this person appeared, it immediately aroused heated discussions among the students, and after inquiring about them, they learned that this short-haired young man was actually recommended by the Heavenly Holy Gate of Han Qiguo, and I heard that there were some extraordinary methods, and his cultivation was no worse than Gongyehua.
Seeing that there were people from Tianshengmen and Jianji Mountain who came to this Helan Courtyard with the intention of entering the inner gate, everyone couldn't help but sigh even more.
Mo said An Chongshan and them, and now even Gongye Hua, who is the most outstanding among the students, has to feel tremendous pressure.
At the back of the lawn, there were students who were not yet qualified to be selected, and they did not hide their envy and jealousy in their eyes, looking at the dozen or so people standing at the front.
I have mixed feelings, but I have to admire them as the best talents.
"Who do you think will be the one who will win in the end?" someone whispered to his companion.
Hearing this, the companion looked around at the dozen or so people, and said without hesitation: "This still needs to be asked, of course, it is His Royal Highness the Great Prince of the Yue Turkic Kingdom who was killed halfway, but he has entered the realm of the third layer of confusion, who is not convinced?"
"I can't say that, according to my opinion, the prince of Gongye is also quite an outstanding talent, although he is still not confused by the second-layer realm, but according to his intelligence and excellent potential, maybe he can defeat that great prince of Yueji!"
Hearing the two of them say such words, Zhu Longlong, who was standing on the side, listened a little unpleasantly: "You still don't think that you are from the Song Kingdom, there are so many Song students among these dozen people, you want to cheer for the two foreign sons, don't you feel that your butt is a little crooked?"
Hearing the words of this crowd, the two students were immediately unhappy.
"Don't we want our own people to win, but you see, this gap is obvious, which of these people can compare his cultivation to the two foreign sons? If so, of course we support him!"
Zhu Longlong listened, and his small eyes widened: "Who said no, my friend Zhang Xiaoxian and his brother Zhang Linzi are now in the second layer of confusion, can't this compete with that son?"
"Roar, do you mean the one in a wheelchair, my God, forget it, although he is not bad in cultivation, but if he fights with others, I am afraid that he has no chance of winning, and then the ...... named Zhang Xiaoxian"
When the student said this, he paused for a moment and said: "Although he always doesn't play cards according to the routine, and has some impressive skills, his cultivation qualifications are there, Gongye Hua, the son of Han Qiguo, is a genius who has opened the eleventh vein, but Zhang Xiaoxian, not to mention that he only opened the five veins sadly when he first entered Helan Courtyard, and then experienced some magical things, and gradually opened the seven veins, but compared with the seven veins and the eleventh veins, the eldest brother, the difference is not a star and a half, so I am resolutely not optimistic about him!"
When Zhu Longlong heard this, he was not happy, and he just wanted to refute it again, but at this time, he saw Mr. Jiaoxi, who was sitting in the front row, stood up with a brush, and bent down to salute in the direction of the person in front of him.
The person who came was none other than the master of Helan Academy, Zun Qianyue, who led the other seven masters to the scene.
The students in the outer courtyard, where have they seen so many masters appear, they are all staring at them with great interest, and some are secretly discussing what magical powers these masters have, but none of them have ever entered the inner door, where do they know this, they just feel that they are only afraid and worship of the masters.
As soon as Qian Yue and the others stood still, there was a hearty laughter of men not far from them, and the one walking in front was actually a middle-aged man wearing a unicorn brocade robe and a jade crown.
When everyone saw it, they hurriedly saluted again, it turned out to be King Xun Shiluankai, who came here on behalf of the imperial court to watch the recruitment of the inner door of Helan Courtyard.
The recruitment of the inner door in an academy actually attracted the arrival of a king with a different surname and a large number of officials, which has to be called extremely grand.
After everyone came here to greet and sit down in turn, the teacher in charge of the examination called the students who were going to participate in the recruitment examination in front of Shizun and King Xun and others.
Xun Wang Shiluan opened, and then came in front of everyone with an amiable smile, looking at them one by one, these are all infinite outstanding talents in the future, if they can all be used for themselves, why worry about big things.
Especially when he saw Ruan Yang, the great prince of the Yue Turkic Kingdom, the brilliance in his eyes flickered.
This clever fellow had visited him in the palace yesterday, and said something that pleased him very much, and conveyed the sincere greetings of the king of Yueji to him.
In short, he was very concerned about the current situation in the Song Kingdom, especially for him, and he was deferential.
This made him very happy, of course, when the great prince revealed between his words that he wanted to help and must enter the inner gate of Helan Courtyard, he did not refuse at all, and agreed to it.
Subsequently, Kong Sheng, as the second master of Helan Academy, already knew that there was such a quasi-inner student.
The students who participated in the recruitment examination skimmed one by one in the eyes of His Royal Highness King Xun, and soon, a slightly familiar face of a young man met his eyelids.
The smile that King Xun had been hanging on his face actually paused for a moment.
How could this young man also be among the students who were recruited, shouldn't he be dead?
The confusion in his heart naturally can't be revealed, King Xun still has a smile on his face, and he may feel that the other party is still a little strange, but the other party misses him with a smile.
He smiled and nodded: "If I'm not mistaken, you and the little prince of the Yue Kingdom are friends, and we have met before!"
At this time, even if Zhang Xiaoxian had the heart to cut this person with a thousand knives, he forcibly suppressed his emotions and replied calmly: "His Royal Highness King Xun has a good memory, it is me!"
"Well, that's good!"
King Xun nodded at Zhang Xiaoxian very politely, and then turned to the next student.
Ruan Yang, the prince of the Yue Turkic Kingdom, who was standing in the front position, heard that among the students who participated in the inner entrance examination, there was actually his brother who was his enemy, Ruan Che's friend, not only sneered in his heart.
Surely I will overcome you, and make you like my brother, my defeated men.
The people who came to watch this grand event in Helan Courtyard today finally waited for that crucial moment in anticipation as time went by.
The second master, Kong Sheng, tidied up the gray and white robes on his body, and came majestically in front of the fourteen students.
Then he pointed to a small door behind him, and a large area of hazy and emerald green field that stretched to the hill, and said: "This year's inner door recruitment examination is not difficult, that is, from this small door in front of you, across the entire forest garden, until the end, if anyone first penetrates through the other door, then he will pass this exam and be recruited into the inner door!"
Everyone was a little surprised when they heard this, looking at the bland little door, they felt that they had heard it wrong, and they could enter the inner door in this way, isn't it a little too simple.
But on second thought, things may not be as they imagined, and there must be something mysterious hidden in this seemingly simple distance.
"Colleagues, I'm ...... first" Just when everyone was still figuring out what the mystery was, Gong Yehua, the prince of Han Qiguo, was the first to walk out.
He bowed slightly to all the students, and walked into the small door in a chic manner.
Immediately, the short-haired young man from the Tiansheng Gate, as well as An Chongshan and others, also walked in.
In the end, among the fourteen people, only Zhang Xiaoxian was alone and still standing still outside the door.
The reason why Zhang Xiaoxian is not in a hurry to enter now is not that he is hesitant as others think, but because he is meditating.
This is Zhang Xiaoxian's habit, every time before encountering a major event, he always urges himself to be able to calm down completely, and then live all the possibilities and impossibilities in his mind.
The advantage of this is that you can focus on your goals without distractions, and you can focus and be cautious all the way to your goal.
Only in this way will he not be stopped by the troubles that will arise to stop him from going on.
