Shen Lingjun leaned on the table and said, "What do you say?" ”

Zhao Qi raised his eyebrows: "Just in a group of ten, how do you fight?" ”

Shen Lingjun didn't want to think about it: "Hit it directly." ”

Zhao Qi felt that he couldn't talk to her, and turned his gaze to Su Musha.

Su Musha groaned: "If the kung fu is obviously higher than the others, it is not impossible to fight ten with one, but if the kung fu of ten people is evenly matched, it is just a waste of physical strength to fight in turns." If it were me, I would first find the person with the highest kung fu to deal with the others, and then have a final battle with him, first, to save physical strength, and secondly, not to be afraid of recruiting people behind my back. ”

Zhao Qi snapped his fingers: "That's right, the martial arts test is not just a fight, it depends on how this person arranges his troops to make himself the most advantageous." ”

Shen Lingjun clapped his hands: "Brother Zhao, the emperor has found the right person to find you as the chief examiner." ”

Ye Qingzhi thought of something, a smile appeared in her eyes, and said: "Most of the martial arts exams are reckless, but they still have to ask candidates according to the "Election Chronicle". ”

Tang Tang sulked and finished eating a plate of powdered sugar crystal balls, and then leaned over: "What is "Election Chronicle"? ”

Others also have something unclear, Ye Qingzhi explained: "There are four kinds of "Election Chronicles", one is called a body, and it needs to be physically magnificent; Second, it refers to the dialectic of words; The three books should be beautiful; The fourth judgment is the excellence of arts and sciences. There have been candidates who have been repeatedly disappointed in the scientific examination because of their ugly appearance. ”

Shen Lingjun twitched: "You have to look at your appearance to take a test." ”

Tang Tang laughed and said, "Haha, that's not good, you can change your face, you can look like something." ”

Everyone laughed, and they all felt that the last few things in the "Election Journal" were in the past, and this first item was simply unknown, and it was too unfair for those who were born with a lack of appearance.

A meal was eaten in small talk for a long time, and by the time the game ended, the night sky was as dark as ink.

Due to time constraints, we had to leave for Luoyang early the next morning, so everyone rested and did not mention it.

The crescent moon is dark, and the autumn night is slightly cool.

Su Mu closed the door, walked to the table and was about to put down the Yuqing Sword in his hand, when suddenly there was a strange wind in his ears, his eyes shot a cold light, and his body moved slightly, and the person had jumped out of the window.

In the dark night, I saw the shadows of the trees swaying in the wind, like a devil with teeth and claws.

Su Musha stared in the southeast direction for a moment, then turned around and jumped off the eaves, preparing to return to the room.

Next door, Shen Lingjun heard the movement and opened the door and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Su Musha shook his head: "It's okay, night owl." ”

Shen Lingjun yawned: "Then go to bed early." ”

"Hmm." Su Musha nodded, glanced at the distance again, there was no movement, and closed the door and locked it.

On a big tree in the southeast, a chubby white-haired old man squatted on the tree and patted his chest, saying to himself: "Fortunately, he hasn't been discovered, this kid is too thief." ”

After finishing speaking, his feet glared at the treetops, and suddenly, the person had disappeared into the shadows.

Luoyang, the capital of the gods, is as prosperous as ever, the shop flags are flying high, the cars and horses are sparkling, the tourists are weaving, with a quiet smile, very leisurely.

But the difference is that there have been many students in Luoyang City recently, coming and going, and during the shuttle, it has become another landscape.

In the teahouse, the most popular topic is who will win the championship this year.

Some people pressed Zhang Sheng of Hongwenguan, and some people said that Wang Sheng, who studied Guozixue, was better at writing, and his uncle was still a big official in the court......

For a while, there were different opinions, each with its own rhetoric.

Especially this year, there is more martial arts examination, which is different from the liberal arts, and the martial arts examination room can be watched by onlookers, so everyone can not feast their eyes at that time, and there are a lot of things to talk about after tea and dinner, adding some fun to ordinary life.

Therefore, the people of Luoyang City are looking forward to the arrival of the imperial examination.

Shen Lingjun and the others stepped into the south gate of the city around three moments, and as soon as they returned to Luoyang, a familiar smell suddenly came to their nostrils.

Shen Lingjun sniffed his nose, on the left was the smell of roast duck in Juxian Building, on the right was the sweet and sour fish with Sanpinxiang, and in front of him there was the champion red ...... of Hongyun Building

Su Mu Shaguang looked at her expression, and knew what she was thinking, and shook his head funny.

Tang Tang came to Luoyang for the first time, and his curiosity was about the same as Mu Qing's, and he woke up last night.

In the carriage, Qinghe put his arm around Mu Qing and introduced him to the buildings in Luoyang City and some things he had never seen.

Mu Qing opened his mouth wide, stared at a pair of round eyes, and was reluctant to blink. I sighed in my heart, this Luoyang City is so big, the houses are so high, it is much more powerful than Danfeng Mansion.

Sitting in front of the carriage, he threw a bun to Mu Qing: "I know a lot of interesting places, I'll take you there when I go back." ”

Mu Qing held the bun in his hand and nodded: "Mm-hmm." ”

Tang Tang raised his hand in front: "I'm going too!" ”

wrinkled his nose during the play: "You're not a child, what are you going to do?" ”

Tang Tang stuck out his tongue with him: "Stingy." ”

Shen Changfeng felt that these three were basically about the same age in their hearts, and in some ways, Tang Tang and the play were not as well-behaved and obedient as Mu Qing.

Zhao Qi kicked the dark horse, a little boring, it was much more comfortable to go back to Luoyang than the northwest.

Ye Qingzhi propped her head and looked at the scenery outside the window, remembering that she was ordered by her master to go down the mountain to Luoyang that day, and half a year had passed in a blink of an eye.

At this moment, a group of Imperial City troops hurriedly ran from the front, and the people of Luoyang, who were accustomed to the world, retreated to the side in an orderly manner, allowing the Imperial City Army to pass through quickly.

When the Imperial City Army left, people who didn't know each other gathered around and began to inquire into each other, wondering what was going on?

Shen Lingjun and the others naturally saw it, and wondered, "What's the matter?" ”

Luo Cheng, who was driving the car, said: "I'll ask." After that, he handed over the chariot rope in his hand to the play and jumped off the carriage.

When everyone arrived at Dali Temple and just sat down to rest, Luocheng also came back.

It's just that there is something wrong with Luo Cheng's expression, and Zhao Qi asks what's wrong.

Luo Cheng said: "When Lu Xiuyuan, a scholar of the dynasty, was reported for accepting bribes from candidates, the Imperial City Army just now went to his house. ”

Not mentioning what others didn't understand, Shen Lingjun and Zhao Qi were surprised: "Lu Xiuyuan? ”

"Exactly, the emperor ordered a thorough investigation of this matter, first put Lu Xiuyuan under house arrest at home, and then deal with it separately when the matter is clarified."

Zhao Qi frowned: "No, I still know Lu Xiuyuan well, he usually doesn't talk about the rules, he is a dead brain who is bent on learning, and he can't even deal with human feelings, how can he accept bribes." ”

Shen Lingjun also nodded and said, "I heard that someone once gave a gift on his birthday, but he just closed the door and blew people out." ”

Ye Qingzhi said with tea: "It has the temperament of a scholar." ”

Luo Cheng said: "No, he also said at the time that the filth in the world is nothing more than gold and silver, but books are holy and elegant things, and they cannot be desecrated." ”

Tang Tang pouted: "That's not a bribe, it's probably for others to see." ”

Zhao Qi shook his head: "Lu Xiuyuan usually lives a tight life, and he once made his wife complain, but he said that he is not honest and honest, so what is the use of being an official." Even his official uniform is patched, and he is a Qing official who is praised by everyone. ”

"Yes!" Luo Cheng said: "I heard that because of this, the emperor thinks that anyone can accept bribes, and Lu Xiu is far from it, so he specially appointed him as the chief examiner of liberal arts this year." ”

But it is such a person, and now that he is said to accept bribes, Zhao Qi feels incredible.

Su Musha said: "But there is evidence? ”

Luo Cheng nodded: "Yes, three days ago, Du Ziteng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, personally wrote a letter, saying that someone reported that Lu Xiuyuan had been bribed by a candidate named Chang Hao, and there were also human and physical evidence. ”

Zhao Qi moved and changed his sitting posture: "What are the human and physical evidence?" ”

Luo Cheng shook his head, .: "This is not clear, but it is said that the evidence is conclusive, but the emperor has always trusted Lu Xiuyuan's character, and he feels that this matter is quite strange, so he saved Lu Xiuyuan and has to investigate it thoroughly." ”

Zhao Qi thought for a while, and said to Shen Lingjun: "I think the emperor will transfer this case to Dali Temple." ”

As he was talking, two figures flashed and appeared in the courtyard of Dali Temple.

Everyone looked up, it was Kagura and Liangyue, who they hadn't seen for a long time, and the two of them clasped their fists together and said respectfully, "General." ”

Previously, Luo Guangling suspected that a group of unknown people mixed in Luoyang City were foreign spies, and Zhao Qi sent Kagura and Liangyue to secretly investigate the details.

Kagura said: "According to my investigation with Liangyue, that group of people ostensibly came to Luoyang to do fur business, but I never saw them come out to set up shops and stalls, but they just walked the streets of Luoyang every day, but they didn't do anything special in private, so they were idle all day long. It's a big deal, either to go to the gambling house to gamble a lot, or to go to the brothel to throw money, but the strange thing is that some time ago suddenly left again. ”

Zhao Qi raised his eyebrows: "I didn't do anything, I came to Luoyang for a walk and left?" ”

Liang Yue nodded: "Yes, I didn't even take those furs with me, and I still stayed in the inn." ”

Zhao Qi twitched, what kind of road is this?

Outside the door, horses' hooves roared, and then a figure flashed in front of everyone.

Mei saw that in addition to the same cold expression, there was a little more anxiety in her eyebrows at the moment, and when she saw that Zhao Qi and Shen Ling were there, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "General Zhao and Lord Shen, please follow me into the palace, the emperor is waiting for you." ”

Shen Lingjun and Zhao Qi went around the palace, and after going around for a long time, Shen Lingjun sighed in his heart, whose creativity is not to build the palace like a labyrinth, isn't this a difficult road?

Finally came to the emperor's imperial study, Mei Jian asked the two of them to wait for a while, knocked lightly on the door and entered, and then quickly came out, and said, "General Zhao, Lord Shen, please come in." ”

When Shen Lingjun and Zhao Qi entered, Mei Jian closed the door and stood outside to guard.

As soon as Shen Lingjun walked in, he saw Emperor Wu Cao leaning on the chair and closing his eyes to recuperate, and the sandalwood in the study was wafering, smelling a kind of condensing effect.

Zhao Qi and Shen Ling were just about to salute, but Wu Cao opened his eyes and gestured: "Excuse me." ”

There was no need to salute, Shen Lingjun was at ease, and asked curiously: "How does the emperor know that we are coming back today?" ”
