On the other side, the prince was walking on the street in the costume of an ordinary son.

There were all kinds of stalls and vendors on the street, shouting one after another, and the prince smelled a fragrance and thought about the direction of the fragrance, but it was a dumpling restaurant.

When the prince smelled the fragrance, he couldn't help it, and said to the boss: "Boss, bring me a bowl of dumplings!" ”

"Hey, okay, Brother Childe, wait a minute, sit and wait for a while, and then I'll cook it for you!" The boss immediately responded.

The prince found an empty table and sat down, watching the people coming and going on the street, and there was an endless stream of people who came out to exchange money with various things from their own homes.

"Oh, isn't this Zhou Da's benefactor? Come in and sit! The boss immediately stepped forward and warmly shook the man's hand and said.

When the prince looked carefully, the person who came had a beard, a single dress in this early spring time looked a little thin, and his hair was only tied at random, and he didn't look like a rich man.

His skin is dull yellow, his face is not very clean, his clothes are a little shabby, and his eyes are indeed very bright.

This person may be a person who has never met talents, and he will definitely be able to achieve great things in the future.

It's just that the boss is called Zhou Da's benefactor, and it seems that he still has some friendship with the boss.

"Bring me a bowl of dumplings, no, I want two bowls, maybe, these two bowls of dumplings are also the last two bowls I will eat with you in my life!" The man said self-deprecatingly.

"Benefactor, don't be discouraged, isn't this emperor list just released tomorrow? I think with your talent, you will definitely be able to win the title of the gold list! The boss said with a smile.

"Hey, don't talk about that, I'm here to eat dumplings today, and I'll talk about other things later!"

"Okay, then the benefactor find a place to sit! I'll go to the back kitchen to help, and I'll be right away! ”

"Well, good! You just have to be busy, don't worry about me! The man looked around, and the other tables were full, and walked towards where the prince was sitting.

"Brother, can you share a table with him?" The man smiled and said to the prince.

"Naturally, brother, please sit down, I am worried about sitting alone, and I am very lonely here!"

"That's not right!" Sit down straight to the back of the house.

"Dare to ask Brother Tai, but is it a scholar who entered Beijing to take the exam?" The prince's tone was gentle.

"Yes, I originally came here to gain fame and serve the imperial court, but now it seems that it is really a dream!" The man shook his head unconsciously.

"Brother Tai don't be discouraged, this emperor list has not been issued, there is still hope, and it has never been a foregone conclusion!" The prince said with a smile and poured a cup of tea for the other party.

"I, Zhou Yangbing, claim to be through the past and the present, not to boast, but in this big capital, there is no place for me! Hey, it's really providence! ”

"Are you the talented Zhou Yangbing? I've heard of your name! ”

"I'm a great talent, I'm just a poor scholar full of complaints!" Zhou Yangbing waved his hand and said.

"That brother Tai said that today's two bowls of dumplings are the last two bowls, is it because he has no confidence in himself?"

"It's not that I don't have confidence, it's that I'm not as good as others in some aspects." UU Library

"Oh, brother, might as well talk about it?"

"First, naturally this knee is not as soft as others, and the second is that there is not as much silver as others!" Zhou Yangbing said, with a sense of freedom and ease.

"Is there a third?" The prince looked at Zhou Yangbing, and secretly thought to himself, this person here should be unusual.

"The third is that the skin is not as thick as others, it is true!"

"Hahaha," both of them laughed at the same time.

"You see, this hasn't been very peaceful recently, Brother Tai told me a few tips, I can protect my family and protect my life, I have a treat for this dumpling today, don't say two bowls, add two bowls!"

"It seems that Brother Tai is also a bold person, and it is fate to be able to meet here in Pingshui, I might as well tell you, the north of this Great Chu is the Lanyuan tribe, the southwest border is the growing strength of the Zhihai Kingdom, and the southeast is the Hanxing Country in a corner of peace, although there has been no movement, but the new monarch has been young and promising."

"So Brother Tai means that our Great Chu is in danger?"

"Although Da Chu was defeated in the Central Plains a hundred years ago, but in recent years, the country has no worries at home, there is no war outside, and most of the people in the court are wine bags and rice bags, if the three kingdoms join forces, Da Chu will be defeated, even the prince of Yulan will not be able to turn the tide."

"That Da Chu is also a big country, and the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, how can it be as fragile as you say?" The prince was very puzzled when he smelled it, in fact, Baili Yichen had also said this, and he couldn't help but look at Zhou Yangbing in front of him a little higher.

"It is true that Great Chu is a big country, but the royal family of Great Chu competes and is suspicious of each other, if the war cannot be unanimous with the outside world, then it will defeat itself if it does not fight!" Zhou Yangbing said without hesitation.

"So it's a dead end?"

"No, no, no, there is naturally a solution, first of all, Da Chu needs to work together, secondly, to appease the Cold Star Country, and to fight the ambitious Hariran and Zhihai! That is, long-range close attack! ”

"Sure enough, it's the talented Zhou Yangbing, I have comprehended the strength of the great talent of Brother Tai today!" The prince stroked his palms and sighed.

"After knowing the general trend, you are an ordinary boy, and the best way to survive is to choose a good path, I think you should understand this!"

"Thank you Gongzi Zhou for solving your doubts, I am really grateful, I think with Gongzi's talent, today's saint will not let the gold be dusted, and tomorrow will definitely be the title of the gold list!" The prince said excitedly.

"Haha, when you say that, my self-confidence seems to have returned!"

"The two of you seem to have a good conversation, let's eat a bowl of dumplings first!" The boss came over with two bowls of hot dumplings.

"Okay, I want another bowl too, how can I have a bowl of dumplings?" The prince is in a good mood, such a talent, it must be well protected.

"Okay!"

"This is a bag of silver, I will definitely be able to name the gold list by pressing your benefactor, if I guess correctly, then next time I will eat you a bowl of free dumplings, if I guess wrong, then you will give your benefactor two bowls of dumplings tomorrow!"

"I also pressed my benefactor to be able to go to high school!" The boss said, taking out two pieces of silver from his waist and putting them together.

"I just have this bit of silver, I won't press it, if it really wins, I will invite you to drink good osmanthus wine in the future!" Zhou Yangbing looked at the person he met for the first time and believed in him so much, and he was also full of emotion in his heart.

After the prince and Zhou Yangbing separated, he immediately went to the Ministry of Rites, reviewed the examination papers, and read Zhou Yangbing's article, this Zhou Yangbing is really bold, and now that Lan Yuan and Da Chu are in peace, they dare to write such an article.

The prince looked at it and put Zhou Yangbing's ranking second, although he is talented, he must also be restrained, and the original first place Zhang Qiling was crossed out, and the second place became the first place.
