Chapter 25: Scarlet Castle

This Taoqiu son, since he was a child, has been famous for his brilliant reputation, and he is famous throughout Scarlet Sun Castle. The people in the city of Scarlet Sun Castle have even made a list when they are idle and bored. He is talking about the best young men in the Scarlet Sun Castle, who call them 'Six Sons and Four Sisters'. Because of the status of His Royal Highness, Tao Qiu Mian ranked second. This son's strong reputation is unmatched in Scarlet Sun Castle. Playing a small and smart person, this temperament is also different from ordinary people, and arrogance and self-confidence are far beyond the reach of others. With the prestige and connections of the Kanzhu Society, he has never had the experience of failure. It's just that this time, it doesn't seem to be so easy to handle. "The Changyu family and the Xi family are unwilling to give up their share." A short old man with a beard at the corners of his mouth stepped forward and said.

"Have you made our terms clear?" Tao Qiumian's face was a little ugly. "I said it all, and I told them one by one." "But did you say it to their face when you saw their principal?" "The Changyu family sees that the old family is the head of the family, and the Changyu is in the middle." "Why don't you see the Changyu River?" Tao Qiumian's eyes are very special. When he squints his eyes, he will appear big and small. Although he is very careful about his image, when he gets angry. He would unconsciously squint.

"Changyu Zhongxing said that Changyu River is preparing to go up the mountain. I really can't take time out to meet people. "Humph! What if you go up? It's just a reckless man! "I can see that Tao Qiumian is very angry." What about the West Family? "The west family sees the big fox Qiuli. He said that the young master of the Xi family had entered the mountain. There is no one else in charge of the family. If you are in a hurry, you can talk to him. Or is it the housekeeper...... "bastard!" Tao Qiu Mian's inexplicable fire made people not know who he was scolding.

"What about the Gong Yu family?" Tao Qiu could barely hold back the anger in his heart. He continued to ask coldly. "Their son-in-law has been out for a few days. The subordinates didn't dare to ask to see the old man of the Gong Yu family. However, the news that I heard was that the young lady of their family had already prepared the people. Stationed in the Cloud Academy. "What's the fun she's coming along?" Tao Qiu muttered thoughtfully. "Your Highness, ...... there" "Needless to say." Tao Qiu reluctantly waved his hand in disappointment. "Yangliu, what do you think?" Tao Qiumian looked to the side, a handsome scholar with a graceful demeanor.

"The students thought it was a big event. The situation in the Scarlet Sun Castle is likely to change dramatically as a result. So everyone doesn't dare to take it lightly. This is not like in previous years, there are no more than thirty or fifty people. "Yes? The college has not accepted students for 30 years. Suddenly, a thousand people were to be collected at once. I'm afraid that our king will also be worried in my heart, right? "I heard that two days ago, His Royal Highness was ordered to besiege the princess's mansion. I don't know if it's true or not? The scholar's demeanor was elegant, and his tone was gentle. This is true. However, he was blocked by the intervention of the Second Highness. I didn't expect that after enduring it for so many years, the king is also in a panic today? "In this way, it is true that His Royal Highness can't go to the academy because of this?"

"It's not true. But that's not the reason. "Hehe, that's it. This Second Highness has also helped a lot of people? The scholar laughed heartily. The one who helped the most was the elder brother of the Second Highness. I just don't know if he's reluctant! "yes. Originally, the amount of a family of one hundred and fifty people. In this way, His Highness has a full hundred. That's not a small amount. "Yangliu, you've also been in the Cloud Academy for five years. What is this academy like? Do you know clearly? "This, the student knows about it, I'm afraid it's not much more than the childe. There are very few people who have been there. But each one of them is still tight-lipped as a bottle. Although Yun Academy claims to have two bookkeepers who have stayed in the academy. But they're too old. People are a little confused, and what they say is plausible. It is impossible to judge the authenticity. ”

"Oh, what did they say?" "They say it's a natural thing. The gates can open and close on their own. The Storytelling Pavilion contains countless secret books of the classics. It is also said that there is a treasure hall there, and the things in it are all rare treasures that have never appeared in the world. In short, some of the things they say are things that students cannot determine whether they are true or false. "It seems that there is really a great relationship between it and the world, right? Come and prepare quickly, let's go to Cloud Academy today! "Childe, are there two days left until the last days? There are no very good houses in the Cloud Academy. Yoru advised. It's okay. That young master of the Xi family must have gone to the Cloud Academy. Changyuhe is so shrewd, I'm afraid he also lived in it early. Let's not be so particular! ”

The citizens of Scarlet Sun Fort have been in a panic for the past few days. Every day, you can see several teams of brightly armored teams, full of swords, guns and arrows out of the city. News circulated among them that Scarlet Sun Castle was about to go to war with the city of Shuliu. It has even been mentioned in several rumors that the cavalry of Shuliu City has broken through the northern foothills of Mount Gaza. is about to swing under the city of Scarlet Sun Fort. The news sent the hearts of the people in the city to the ground. There are already wealthy merchants and nobles who have begun to prepare for a convoy of long journeys. The business of the Dixing Beast Car Dealer has been particularly hot in the past two days.

This made the royal family, who had no intention of announcing the truth of the matter, have to announce the room in the royal city early in the morning. Informed the fact that the academy was about to re-enroll students in Scarlet Sun Castle. This calmed the hearts of the flustered people. But the gate of Yun Academy was immediately surrounded by people. Many people want Yun Academy to unconditionally announce the enrollment of students in the academy. This momentum frightened many of the nobles of Scarlet Castle. There were more than 100,000 people inside and outside.

For three days, people and vehicles entered and exited the threshold of the Cloud Academy. On the fourth day, Yun Academy posted a notice of compromise and compromise outside the door. The whole notice has only one line of words: "Permission to go to the college, this time ten students will be recruited in the city." "It's just that this one percent share has already satisfied the crowd outside. They had read the announcement, and most of the work had already dispersed in half an hour. The remaining people who were ready to sign up for the selection had already formed rows of human walls in an instant. Tuan Tuan gathered around the door of the Cloud Academy, carefully looking at this belated notice.

And the selection qualification document was posted in front of the door of Yun Academy when night was about to fall.

In an instant, the neatly formed line suddenly became messy. People frantically walked towards the newly posted paperwork, and the place immediately formed an impermeable semicircle. A dark and small man couldn't squeeze in the outer layer of the circle. "Are the people inside illiterate? Why not read out what is written on it. Do you like being squeezed like this? "He was small, but his voice was big. His shouts drowned out the noise around him.

The people inside also remembered this. Someone began to take turns reading the text one after the other. It seems to be fair, at least the civil and military are taken separately. The little black man wrinkled his nose but was still a little dissatisfied.

The matter of ten places made him extremely angry. All the information he had found indicated that in previous years the number of civilian candidates had been distributed on a 10 per cent basis. Although only looking at the amount, this year can be regarded as a very high number. However, the proportion has been much lowered, and he worries that this will become the standard in the future. But he knew that there was nothing he could do to change it. I could only shake my head and sigh and walk outside. If it weren't for the fact that so many people had gathered outside in the past three days, he knew that there might not be this standard of ten people coming out this year.

The tooth finch stood on the verandah of a small building, looking at the bustling crowd outside. She didn't know what the academy was, and she didn't understand what the people crowded here were doing. She wondered if she was looking for an opportunity to say goodbye to Scarlet Sun. Although her mood has not been good these days. But the tooth finch can't stay here any longer. The blue card order makes it difficult to find something. Amdo was nowhere to be found. She wasn't in the mood to stay idle.

"What's on my sister's mind?" Scarlet Sun walked out of the room. "I still have something to do, I'm afraid I won't be able to stay here for long. Take care of yourself. "The tooth finch has always been very crisp. I thought of saying goodbye, and I immediately said it. "I shouldn't have stopped my sister. It's just that now it's best if my sister can stay. "Hmm......" Tooth Sparrow looked at Scarlet Sun seriously. Living together these days, Scarlet Day Xiaoli has also somewhat learned some of the temper of the tooth finch. She knew that the Tooth Sparrow was waiting for an explanation.

"I know my sister came to Scarlet Sun Fort to find something. It should be very rare and precious. If such a thing really exists in Scarlet Sun, it must be in that place. The tooth finch didn't interject, just looked at her earnestly. And there has been no news from Gongzi An who has been in the mountains for so long. Nine times out of ten, I guess I got lost in the mountains. These things need my sister to stay. ”

"The reasons are good. But I don't think there's any use in staying here. "Not my sister. We won't be here for long. Do you see those people? Scarlet Xiaoli pointed to the many people in the courtyard in front of him, turned his head and said to the tooth finch. Ten men were chosen from among them. We'll go to the academy. What my sister is looking for, if it is really in the realm of Scarlet Sun Castle. That's definitely going to be found there. At least you can find clues. ”

"Out of so many, choose ten?" The tooth finch didn't care much about the Scarlet Day gift guarantee. She was interested in this matter. "Yes, they only have ten spots." "Are there any standards?" "The book directors of the Cloud Academy will come up with questions. It should be a pretty quick choice. "Shall we take a look?" The tooth finch turned around and asked for the scarlet gift. She didn't know if it was dangerous for Scarlet Sun Xiaoli to go out at this time.

"Go, I'm curious too! I heard this kind of thing mentioned by my grandfather. I've never seen it before! "Wait." Suddenly, the tooth finch saw in the crowd, the man who had been holding the whip in the church yard that day. Scarlet Sun looked at the tooth sparrow in confusion. "The man is here too." The tooth finch pointed out the man in the crowd to Scarlet Sun. "Let's go! This is Yun Academy, he doesn't have the courage to make trouble. The scarlet day salute suddenly became more positive than the tooth sparrow.

"That's too big a gap, isn't it?" The tooth finch shook his head and watched the fight on the high platform. Three high platforms fifty paces square were lined up, and people were standing around them. "There's no way, there are too many people. I'm afraid that all the eligible people in Scarlet Sun Fort have come to sign up. Scarlet Sun explained to the tooth finch. What conditions? "At least fifteen years old, but not more than thirty years old. You can all sign up. However, there are only five places for martial artists. According to the order of registration, one out of twenty people. Advance to the next round. "What if a few powerful people come together?"

"There's no way around that. I can only consider myself unlucky. "What bullshit! What kind of book editor are you talking about? The tooth finch attacked disapprerovingly. Sister, don't talk nonsense! "Scarlet Sun Xiaoli hurriedly pulled the tooth sparrow." Talk nonsense? I'm not talking nonsense! The one who can come up with such a lazy idea is the one who is messy. "You can't speak ill of the bookmaker here. Otherwise, you'll get into trouble. Scarlet Sun whispered in the ear of the tooth finch. Let's go! It's not interesting to look at here. The tooth sparrow pulled the scarlet salute and slowly stepped back. I came to the test center next to the literary exam. It's a different story entirely. All the people who stay here. All pouting their butts and lying on the ground writing something.

"What did they write?" The tooth finch looked at what was written by the person next to him. But I couldn't understand it at all. "The Nanke Sutra! The book chief who came up with this question is really a bit ruthless. "How?" This scripture has more than 12,000 words and is required to be written in three hours. It's so embarrassing. Many people are afraid that they can memorize it but can't finish it. This blocked most of the people. "Isn't that what they mean?" The words of the scarlet day gift made the tooth finch understand. This book may not be for the purpose of picking talents. Their purpose was to ensure that there were only ten people left as soon as possible. That's it. Thinking of this, the tooth sparrow was no longer interested in staying.

"It's not fair!" Suddenly, two people stood up inside. Shouted loudly. "I'm a student of the art of weapons, why did I take this useless "Nanke Sutra"?" "Yes, Chief! I am a bibliographer, why do I have to memorize the Nanke Sutra? "Fork out!" No one listened to their inquiries. The two stood up, just saying a word. was set up by the guards who patrolled the field. Ignoring their pleas. It was forked out and thrown not far from the tooth finch.

"Aren't you two leaving?" Looking at these two, they were thrown out and sat on the ground and didn't move. The Tooth Sparrow walked over. "You have to take care of it!" A fair-skinned man with a blank face. I don't know if I've been too stunned and can't tell anyone. The question of the tooth sparrow was fiercely scolded. "This girl is rude." The red-faced man next to him was crossed out. Wen Yan stood up and saluted the tooth sparrow. "I'm afraid he's scared stupid, don't be like him." "You're just scared stupid! Black Benny, you're a little bit of a good guy, okay? If you don't find someone to take care of you, won't you survive? It's all stupid! It's all wooden fish heads! "A man with a blank and fair face. Slowly got up from the ground. Tidying up little by little, wrinkled clothes.

"Young Master Ben still doesn't believe that he can't find someone who knows the goods!" The way he spoke made the tooth finch laugh out loud. "Miss Scarlet Sun," she nodded slightly, leaning closer to Scarlet Sun's ear. "You can take two more people to the academy." "Sister wants to take these two?" The tooth finch nodded quietly. "It's okay for my sister to bring it naturally." Scarlet Sun agreed happily. "You're Black Benny?" The tooth finch looked at the red-faced man. "Yes. Mademoiselle should not be like him. He didn't have a good brain since he was a child. "You!" Black Benny lowered his voice. However, it seems that his companions still heard it. He was so angry that he pointed at Black Benny.
