In the carriage of the carriage that Qin Qimo took when the small reward chain Qin Qimo came, Chu Yan, Cao Fei, Zhang Mao Zonglan C one, a small strong reward, M language, especially Chu Da and Cao Fei, their expressions were even more solemn. [Full text reading]

"What's wrong?

Zhang Maozong looked at Cao Fei and Chu Da's expressions, and asked harshly.

After Chu Da was silent for a moment, he said slowly: "Ping, a coachman, I don't know who it is, he is really powerful, and he can suppress my momentum by relying on the murderous aura that he unintentionally exudes from his body...... I'm not as good as him.

On the other side, Cao Fei also nodded, and the temple monster said: (, Yes, a character like this, there will be no more than thirty people in the martial arts, why would he be someone else's driver?) What is the identity of that son?

Outside the carriage, Deng Shangquan, who was driving, heard the conversation of the three people in the carriage, and slowly explained: "That son, surnamed Zhang, named Yansheng, Yu Zijia, is the grandson of Zhang Qian, the prime minister of the dynasty, and the person with the same name as the young master. As for the coachman, Mingyu's name is Qin Jun.

Hearing Di Shangquan's explanation, Chu Da and Cao Fei were both shocked.

Although Qin Jun has never appeared in the rivers and lakes since he took refuge in the Prime Minister's Mansion, his prestige has not diminished in the hearts of the people in the rivers and lakes.

Then, Chu Da and Cao Fei were all happy.

Learning literary and martial arts and selling them to the emperor's family was one of the most basic ideas of the literati and warriors in ancient times.

However, the Chu Dynasty emphasized literature over military force, and the status of soldiers was low, and people like Chu Da Cao Fei disdained to start as a small soldier after enlisting in the army, so it became one of their best choices to take refuge in the powerful, become the guards cronies of the powerful, and enjoy a lifetime of wealth.

The reason why they took refuge in Xiao Mo before, in addition to Xiao Mo's kindness to them, was also because they took a fancy to Xiao Mo's immeasurable future.

And seeing the previous scene, the relationship between Xiao Mo and Zhang Yansheng, the grandson of Zhang Qian, looks extraordinary. Xiao Mo went to Beijing to catch the exam, and Zhang Yansheng greeted him in person!! With such connections, Xiao Mo's future is still broader than they imagined, how can they not like it?

Only Zhang Maozong was thoughtful.

The previous action of the secret camp to appear and reinstate, Zhang Maozong naturally saw it in his eyes.

Obviously, the relationship between Xiao Mo and Zhang Yansheng is not as good as Chu Da and Cao Fei imagined, at least the existence of the secret camp, Xiao Mo does not want Zhang Yansheng to know.

Compared with Chu Da's strength, Cao Fei's treachery, Zhang Maozong, who has been a master for various officials for decades, has rarely performed since he took refuge in Xiao Mo, but he is effective, has clear thinking, and is very old-sighted, and is highly valued by Xiao Mo. Fourth, the neutral network irrigator abuses a mother's scum for you in a miserable environment

In the previous relocation of the Xiao family, if there was no help from Zhang Maozong, Xiao Mo alone would have been in a hurry, and how could he be as orderly as before?

A person like this naturally understands very well that above the officialdom, talking and laughing openly does not represent their real position, Xiao Mo seems to have a good relationship with Zhang Yansheng, but what is the real relationship?

Zhang Maozong thought secretly.

Outside the carriage, Deng Shangquan was also thoughtful.

Although Chu Da, Cao Fei, and Zhang Maozong received the mansion, and even handed over the secret camp to Fan Xiang, neither Xiao Mo nor Deng Shangquan completely trusted these people, and the real core things, such as the relationship between Xiao Mo and Songshan Academy, were never known to them.

Fan Xiang is just a spy head, Chuda Cao Fei is just a guard, Zhang Maozong is just a staff master, and that's it.

According to Xiao Mo's words, the so-called loyalty cannot appear overnight, it takes a long time to get along, it needs to buy people's hearts from all sides, and it takes a long time to verify.

Originally, when Xiao Mo was still in Huanzhou, it was located in a remote area, and even if there were any powerful people, they would not dare to offend Xiao Mo easily.

But after coming to the capital, the situation will inevitably become extremely complicated, and Xiao Mo's new subordinates will inevitably receive temptation and bribery from all sides, which is the time to truly verify their ability and loyalty.

"I hope you don't let the young master down......

Deng Shangquan looked at the carriage not far in front of him, and thought secretly in his heart. The carriage that Zhang Yansheng rode in looked unpretentious on the outside, but it was quite comfortable inside, although four people were seated, it was not crowded at all, and there were many snacks and pastries next to it.

"Zirou just said that someone would pick me up in Beijing, I thought it would be Zhu Ruide's senior, but I didn't expect it to be Zhang Gongzi, it was really unexpected."

After entering the carriage, Xiao Mo and Zhang Yansheng hadn't said anything, Xiao Huan had already smiled at Zhang Yansheng first.

After hearing Xiao Huan's words, Zhang Yansheng's eyes fluctuated slightly, looked at Xiao Mo, and asked, "Oh? When I greeted Zirou, it was just a momentary idea, did Zirou already know beforehand? Or, besides me, is there someone else to greet Zirou?

Xiao Mo smiled slightly and said, "Coming to the capital all the way to the next time, the family relocation, it is vast, quite eye-catching. So I thought, Master Zhang Qian, the prime minister, manages the affairs of the world, and he will definitely know about it if he is so swaggering like me, and with the relationship between me and Brother Zijia, I will definitely be able to guess when I will enter Beijing, and he will inevitably come to pick me up at this time. ”

As he spoke, Xiao Mo and Zhang Yansheng glanced at each other, and they both smiled slightly.

"Yes, I heard that Brother Zirou is fine; , Seeing the palace test, Jiajia was quite happy in her heart! Before Wurou was in Beijing, Zhu Hou was paid by the Udian, M Huiyuan, although he was happy, but he also felt quite bored, and this time he was able to participate in the palace exam with Brother Zirou, and finally had an opponent, even if he could only get a list in the end, it was much more interesting than getting a champion without an opponent's guess. ”

If others say this, an arrogant evaluation must be indispensable, but from Zhang Yansheng's mouth, Xiao Huan Fan Guan on the side takes it for granted.

Because he is Zhang Yansheng.

Aside from the identity of Zhang Qian's grandson, he is still the only person who can stand shoulder to shoulder with Xiao Mo among countless young talents in the world today.

Everyone knows that this palace test is just a competition between Xiao Mo and Zhang Yansheng, no matter how hard others work, they can only compete for the third place Tanhua.

Because of this, many arrogant scholars did not plan to participate in this palace examination at all, because they did not want to be just a foil between Xiao Mo and Zhang Yansheng.

On the other side, hearing Zhang Yansheng's words, Xiao Mo shook his head solemnly and said, "Brother Zijia is too humble." When you and I were still in Yunzhou, it really benefited me a lot to communicate with each other. To tell the truth, Brother Zijia's knowledge is not only not weaker than Zirou, but also far better than Zirou, for this palace test, the first champion, although I have the heart to fight, but since Zijia participated, but there was not much confidence, in the end, who won and who lost, until the results came out, Zirou did not dare to assert the mouth"

Xiao Mo's words were true.

Originally, with Xiao Mo's reputation and Emperor Chu Ling's love for him, in the case of the palace test being hand-picked by the emperor, it was nine out of ten to win a champion.

But if his hand is Zhang Yansheng, this trick is not easy to use. After all, Zhang Yansheng's reputation is not much inferior to him, and he is Zhang Qian's other son, even if Emperor Chu Ling likes Xiao Mo no matter how much he likes it, he will not be biased.

Therefore, in this palace test, he and Zhang Yansheng can only compete with their true strength.

And between him and Zhang Yansheng, in terms of knowledge and understanding of Confucian scriptures, he is stronger than Zhang Yansheng, but Zhang Yansheng is far superior to him in terms of erudition and strong memory and literary talent, and it is impossible to infer who wins and who loses in the end, even if it is Xiao Mo.

Zhang Yansheng laughed and said: "Since this is the case, then you and I are both fighting hard in this palace test, and it has nothing to do with winning or losing, but after getting old, thinking back on this time, it must be a blessing in life."

Xiao Mo nodded and smiled: "That's the case."

While the two were talking, Xiao Huan and Fan Guan next to them shook their heads and smiled bitterly, these two people really regarded the world's scholars as nothing.

At this moment, the carriage that everyone was riding suddenly stopped, and Zhang Yansheng said with a smile: "Zhufeng Lou has arrived, everyone, please." ”

When Xiao Mo stepped out of the carriage accompanied by Zhang Yansheng, he looked up, but saw a three-story small building with simple decoration appear in front of everyone, and his expression couldn't help but be stunned.

Along the way, I have been listening to Zhang Yansheng say that among the hotels in the capital, Zhufeng Lou can be described as an absolute leader, but I didn't expect it to be so inconspicuous.

However, seeing the carriage and sedan chairs parked outside the Zhufeng Building, they are all luxurious, and the servants waiting outside the door have a temperament that is not comparable to ordinary people.

On the other side, seeing Zhang Yansheng's appearance, a small servant quickly ushered in, bowed down and said, "Greetings to Zhang Gongzi, your banquet has been prepared."

Looking at the tone of the little guy, it seemed that he already knew Zhang Yansheng's identity, but his expression was humble but there was no flattery, which made Xiao Mo can't help but glance at this bamboo style building.

"The banquet is in, Wangjing Pavilion, inside?

Zhang Yan Shengran said.

The little guy nodded with a smile and said, "Gongzi Zhang, you are here, then, Wangjing Pavilion, it is naturally prepared for you, how can it be given to others."

Zhang Yansheng nodded with a smile, took Xiao Mo's hand, and walked towards the Bamboo Wind Building.

And after Xiao Mo entered the Bamboo Wind Building, he couldn't help but nod secretly.

There are no tables and chairs on the first floor of the Zhufeng Building, but it is like an exhibition hall, and there are many famous paintings and inscriptions hanging on the four walls, or various antiques and elegant objects are placed in it, which adds the meaning of elegance.

The decoration inside, although it seems ordinary and simple, but when you taste it, there is a quaint and elegant taste, which makes people feel calm.

"I didn't expect such an inconspicuous restaurant to have so many famous people here, it's really not simple."

After Xiao Mo entered the Zhufeng Building, he was not busy climbing the building, but kept looking at the inscriptions on the four walls, and said to a few people beside him in surprise.

Zhang Yansheng smiled slightly, and just wanted to explain something, but outside the Zhufeng Building, a carriage appeared again.

Then, a young man of about twenty-three or four-year-old was introduced into the Zhufeng Building.

After the young man entered the Zhufeng Building, he was not in a hurry to go upstairs, but first smiled and nodded to Zhang Yansheng, and then turned his head to look at Xiao Mo.
