Chongming Palace, is the venue of the palace examination, more than 100 people in the palace buried their heads in the book, hard to write, the invigilator headed by the Eight Sages King kept patrolling back and forth.

Three hours later, Enke officially ended, and the Eight Sages King and others immediately devoted themselves to the intense correction of the examination papers, so as to present them to Wang Jun Yulan as soon as possible.

An hour later, Wang Jun got all the exam papers, and quickly flipped through them, only one of Lixin's scholars was quite extreme in the examination papers, thinking that they were all enemy races except for the human race, but they were very appetizing to Wang Jun, and they were appointed as Tanhua.

After crossing the horse and parading the streets, the deer feast, and accepting the worship of the new science and technology scholars, Wang Jun secretly summoned the Eight Sages King, Bao Zheng, Zhuge Liang, and Wang Chengxiang and said bluntly: "I am going to go out of the palace secretly." ”

In addition to Zhuge Liang, who knew it in his heart, the three of the Eight Sages King were in an uproar, Bao Zheng took a step forward and said: "Holy Lord, it is really unwise to serve the fish and dragon in vain, and my Da Zhao is even more inseparable from Your Majesty, and I hope Your Majesty will think twice." ”

The Eight Sages King also said: "Your Majesty, what Bao Gong said is true, your every move is related to my Da Zhao Sheji, although my Da Zhao is now thriving, but there are still a lot of external worries and internal troubles, especially the leader of the Moon Worship Sect of Nanzhao Kingdom is even more eyeing my Da Zhao at this moment, Your Majesty is leaving at this time, no one can preside over the overall situation for Your Majesty, and I hope that Your Majesty will be Mingjian." ”

Prime Minister Wang nodded and said, "The old minister agrees, if Your Majesty wants to see the great country of our dynasty, it is not impossible, but the current time is not right, and I hope that Your Majesty will postpone it for some time." ”

Wang Jun had already guessed that the three of them would not agree, so he hurriedly glanced at Zhuge Liang and motioned for him to take the initiative to help persuade him.

Zhuge Liang nodded slightly, looked at the three of the Eight Sage Kings, and said with a smile: "This is forgiven Kong Ming and don't dare to agree, the three adults don't know, the Holy One is the Holy Emperor of Heaven, Nuwa Niangniang sent an order to ask the Holy Lord to help her descendants, this matter is quite important, and the Holy Lord must personally come out." ”

The three of them did not look strange on the surface, but their eyes were full of excitement, although Nuwa Niangniang in this world had already passed away, but what she did for the human race was recorded and not inherited, so she had great respect for Nuwa Niangniang who sacrificed for the human race.

As soon as he heard that it was Nuwa Niangniang's request, the three of them were reluctant to go, Bao Zheng suppressed his excitement, and said loudly: "Shengshang, the minister agrees with you going out of the palace to save people, but please be careful of the Shushan faction." ”

The Eight Sages King was a little displeased when he heard this, in his opinion, the Shushan faction is all people of the immortal family, righteous people, often go down the mountain to kill demons and eliminate demons to protect the safety of the party, although this time Yin Ruo was clumsy and could not come to face the saint, but he also left a letter that as long as the Moon Worship Sect leader came in Dazhao, he would go down the mountain to expel it, and said: "Bao Zhengxiu wants to talk nonsense, Brother Yin can't enter the capital to face the saint if he has something to delay, there is no disrespect to the saint, and the old man believes that you have also heard of the Shushan faction's style of acting, why do you need to be careful." ”

Only then did Wang Jun notice that Prime Minister Wang Cheng's eyes were also revealed, I am afraid that only the Eight Sages King did not know about the problems of the Shushan faction, so he pretended to be dissatisfied and scolded: "Bao Qing must not talk nonsense, I believe in the disciples of Shushan, their Shushan sect elders have connections with the divine realm, and they are all the pioneers of the divine realm law of the divine realm to supervise the world and protect the safety of our human race." ”

Bao Zheng and the three of them were full of smiles, knowing that Wang Jun was purely perfunctory to the Eight Sages King, I am afraid that the Shushan faction had already let Wang Jun pay attention, and this time the head of Shushan should have entered the capital to face the saint in order to test him.

And the Eight Sages always felt that something was wrong when he heard this, but after thinking about it for a long time, he didn't come up with a reason, so he could only put it aside for the time being and go back and think about it carefully.

Bao Zheng bowed to the Eight Sages and said, "Bao Zheng pleaded guilty to the Eighth Prince, but Bao Zheng did not choose what to say, and I hope the Eighth Prince's forgiveness." ”

The Eight Sages King generously picked up Bao Zheng and said earnestly: "Bao Zheng said that he laughed, how can this king be a stingy person." However, this king also hopes that you will not say similar things in the future, although the Shushan faction is a person outside the party, they are also the people of Dazhao, and they have a palace for the court and the people, so remember not to slander them. ”

Bao Zheng nodded and said, "Bao Zheng understands." ”

Wang Jun glanced at the four of them and said, "Since you have all agreed, the matter of my exit from the palace has been decided, and you must remember not to go out to spread the word." ”

After a pause, he pointed to the four of them and advised: "If there is a trace of news leaked, I will look for you if I don't look for others." ”

When the four of them heard this, they were immediately unhappy, what secrets are there in this palace, I am afraid that Wang Jun will leave the palace today, and tomorrow the gossip will spread all over the capital.

Zhuge Liang was a little worried about Wang Jun's excuse to leave the palace, for fear that the news would inadvertently spread and implicate the four of them, and said, "Holy Lord, I don't know what excuse you used to leave the palace?" ”

"Don't worry, what I say to the outside world this time is that I am in retreat and cultivation, and you also know that since I ascended the throne, I have been practicing in retreat every year, as short as ten days and a half months, and as long as three or four months, I believe that no one will doubt this excuse." Wang Jun has been preparing for this secret exit from the palace several years in advance, so there will be no accidents.

"I have also said hello to Su Xian, and he will accompany the three of you in the palace to hide my traces."

The four of them were just about to nod, but then they were slightly stunned, and according to Wang Jun's wishes, one of them wanted to go on patrol with him, Zhuge Liang immediately asked: "Your Majesty, who among us will go on patrol with you?" ”

Wang Jun pointed at Bao Zheng and said as a matter of course: "Of course it's Bao Qing."

It has been four years since my Da Zhao last investigated the rule of officials, and the people's grievances have been dissatisfied, and now Bao Zheng should also move.

It just so happens that Bao Qing is attracting the attention of the world in the light, and I can take the opportunity to find someone in the dark. And when I need it, I can also send Bao Zheng to support me. ”

The four of them couldn't help but nodded, Wang Jun's method is really good, every time Wang Jun retreats, he will make some things, Bao Zheng is not abrupt at all when he goes out of Beijing this time, and said: "The ministers agree." ”

Wang Jun flipped his right hand, and a token appeared in his palm, which was carved with the four characters as if I had come in person, and threw it at Bao Zheng, saying: "This thing is temporarily handed over to you for use, and Bao Qing will inspect the south of the Yangtze River on my behalf." ”

Bao Zheng respectfully took the token and said, "The minister will never live up to His Majesty's trust." ”

Then Wang Jun looked at the Eight Sages King, Zhuge Liang, and Wang Chengxiang, and said with a smile: "During the period when I leave the palace, all matters in the court and the central government will be discussed and decided by the three of you. ”

"The ministers obey." The three of them said in unison.

"It's okay, stand down!" Wang Jun waved his hand and said.

"The ministers are leaving." After the four finished speaking, they withdrew from the Heart Cultivation Palace.

The next day, Wang Jun announced the news of the retreat, although the officials thought that the matter was too abrupt, but it was also acceptable, after all, every year Wang Jun would suddenly announce the retreat, but I felt that this year was a lot earlier.

........

The rain fell down the eaves, and from the window, on a gentle river, a black canopy boat was in the middle of the lake, and several scholars on the boat were reciting poems.

Nearby, several young ladies from the family held paper umbrellas, stood on the bridge and watched the scenery, pointing to the soldiers on the canopy boat and whispering, full of laughter.

Wang Jun sat in the restaurant and ordered a few exquisite dishes, drinking and eating while looking at the scenery outside the house, so uncomfortable.

"Kicking" a series of rapid steps, Dian Wei went upstairs, walked to Wang Jun's side and leaned over, and said: "Master, my subordinates have inquired clearly, fifty miles to the west is where Yuhang Town is located, and at our speed, we can arrive before nightfall." ”

Wang Jun took the wine glass and drank it all, looked out the window and said without looking back: "Since this is the case, Dian Wei will eat quickly, let's hurry as soon as possible." ”

"Yes, sir." Dian Wei agreed, sat down at the table next to him, picked up a roast chicken and ate it.

Full of wine and food, Dian Wei settled the bill, and a group of more than ten people rode horses and whips and galloped out of the city.

I had just traveled about ten miles to a forest, and the woods on both sides of the road were hovering over the forest, refusing to fall, and it was not clear that there were people in ambush here.

As soon as the reins were pulled by several people, they saw the front hooves of the good horse sitting down raised, and they shouted at the same time: "Phew..."

Wang Jun glanced at the forest, his eyes fell on a five-person locust tree on the left-hand side, and asked sharply, "Who is it, come out!" ”

"Bang bang" instantly jumped out of the woods on both sides of the woods, and more than a dozen people also walked out behind him.

Wang Jun looked at their clothes and dressed, and didn't know that they were all from Nanzhao Kingdom, and said coldly: "Who are you and what are you doing here?" ”

The leader took a simple knife, triangular eyes, nostrils facing the sky, and a brightly colored poisonous snake wrapped around his neck, walked out, and said proudly: "You don't care who we are, as long as you know that this road is not going to work for the time being, hurry up and go back to where you came from." ”

Wang Jun's face sank when he heard this, his eyes showed a trace of unkindness, his voice was gloomy, and he said, "Do you really think that you are still in Nanzhao Kingdom?" In my Da Zhao, I dare to be so presumptuous, I am simply looking for death, Dian Wei will kill me, and no one will be left. ”

Dian Wei was already ready to kill, just waiting for Wang Jun's order, as soon as he heard Wang Jun's order, he immediately took out a few flying halberds from his waist and threw them out, "whoosh" a few times, it was really a good case, and the eight flying halberds killed eight people.

Triangle eyes saw that Dian Wei was so powerful, where did he not know that this time they kicked the iron plate, but the order he received was to close the road, if this group of people broke through, and what was waiting for him when he returned to Nanzhao was the punishment of ten thousand snakes, when he thought of the torture of the Lunatic Cult, he shuddered, gritted his teeth and said: "If you don't want to die, use your hole cards." ”

When the rest of the Lunatic Cultists heard this, they took off the Gu worm bag around their waists and threw it out, and in an instant, the sky was full of snakes, insects, rats and ants, colorful spiders, palm-sized toads, baby fist-like wasps, winged centipedes, and so on.

Seeing this, Dian Wei hurriedly shouted: "You protect the master, leave it to me." ”

As soon as the two halberds approached, they fused together with the tiger blades, and shouted: "Shura Vatian." ”

I saw a sea of blood rising around me, the blood was pungent and unpleasant, and a blood-red sword light more than forty meters long was drawn out in the sea of blood, and the tiger blade fell, as if the sea of blood was reversed, and in an instant, all the Lunatic Cultists and Gu worms exploded and died, and their flesh and blood merged into the sea of blood.

Dian Wei put away his strength, and the vision of the sea of blood also disappeared, and with it, the flesh and blood of the Lunatic Cultists disappeared, if it weren't for the mess, a few broken clothes were still there, and there was no way to see that there was a big war here.

turned around and rushed to Wang Jun, clenching his fists: "Master, the enemy is dead." ”

"Well done." Wang Jun turned back to the guards and asked, "Are you all right?" ”

"Master, Xia Yu seems to have been bitten by Gu worms." Escort Ning suddenly shouted to the person who was holding his side.

Wang Jun followed the sound and saw that Xia Yu's face was like a black pot, his qi was weak, and there was a poisonous bee tail thorn nailed to his right arm, his eyes were wide, and he shouted: "Order the poisonous gas to dissipate, Xia Yu wake up." ”

Ordered to exit, the toxin on Xia Yu's face visibly subsided with the naked eye, and gradually returned to ruddy.

The poisonous gas squeezed the tail thorn out of the arm, and then the poisonous blood dripped down the wound of the tail thorn, and only a few "zizi" sounds were heard, and the weeds on the ground were instantly corroded.

The guards couldn't help but be shocked when they saw it, although they were all disciples from several famous and decent families, they had always looked down on barbarian places like Nanzhao Kingdom, where had they seen this kind of extremely poisonous Gu worm.

For a while, they were full of jealousy of forces like Nanzhaoguo, who knows what means they have to protect themselves, if they don't raise their vigilance, they won't be so easy to escape next time.

Wang Jun glanced at the expressions of the guards, knowing that they would no longer dare to underestimate anyone, these people were all talents that Wang Jun had discovered, otherwise he would not have taken them with him when he left the palace this time, and slowly adjusted.

"Although these Lunatic Cultists have been killed by Dian Wei, it is difficult to guarantee that they did not carry other poisons with them, you immediately piled up their clothes with branches and set them on fire, Master Ben does not want to hear that some people have strayed into the ground and died of poisoning."

"Yes, sir."

Immediately, four or five guards turned over and dismounted, found a pile of dry firewood, and picked up the relics of the Lunatic Cult with branches, and burned them with fire breaks.

Wang Jun nodded, waved his big hand, and said, "Let's go." ”

"Yes, sir."

As the sun set, the sunset reflected the red sky, and the sound of horses' hooves sounded, and Wang Jun and his party arrived in Yuhang Town before the scheduled time.

The ground paved with blue bricks, the neat and orderly shops on both sides, the large and small stalls selling along the street, and the pedestrians shuttling back and forth, Wang Jun nodded when he saw this, and said: "The county order here also seems to be a talented person, otherwise it will not be prosperous and stable here." ”

None of the people have a stubble, and as a large internal guard, I am afraid that it is not far from death if I dare to mix this kind of thing.

Dian Wei took a few steps forward to catch up with Wang Jun and asked, "Master, where are we staying tonight, do you want to go to Nameless?" ”

Wang Jun thought for a while and shook his head, and said, "I won't go to Nameless tonight, judging from the Lunatic Cultists we met on the road, there should be a lot of hidden near Yuhang Town, he has been busy these days, and now it is still a problem to be at home." ”

After a pause, he said: "I remember that the nameless closed disciple Li Xiaoyao didn't open a restaurant at home!" We'll go there tonight for the night, and it's not too late to come and see Master Ben tomorrow. ”

Turning his head to look at Dian Wei, he said, "Dian Wei went to inquire about Li Xiaoyao's inn, and we will go over now." ”

After a while, Dian Wei inquired about the location clearly, and the group rushed to the restaurant according to the guidance of passers-by.

This inn is exactly the same as in the TV series, there is not a single guest at all, and there is only Aunt Li in the inn at this time, and Li Xiaoyao should go out with Nameless to slaughter the Lunatic Cultists.

After chartering the entire inn, everyone was a little hungry, although Wang Jun was not too picky about food, he still didn't dare to eat what was here, so he sent a few guards to go out to buy food.
