Seeing that Du Fang waved his hand and was about to beckon towards Xiao Jiu's body, Xiao Jiu was so frightened that he hurriedly dodged.

"Don't don't, don't bother the girl to do it, just go by yourself."

After finishing speaking, Xiao Jiu immediately decided to teleport and run away.

After returning to the room and lying down again, Xiao Jiu was still not sleepy. It didn't take long to hear the voice of the fifth senior brother coming back, Xiao Jiu had the heart to say something, but he was worried about waking up the other senior brothers, so he had to turn around and remain silent.

Early the next morning, when Xiao Jiu was still in a dream, the quilt on his body was suddenly pulled off vigorously.

"Senior Brother Xiaojiu! It's time to get up! ”

In a daze, he saw the fourth senior brother's fleshy bun face appear in front of him.

"Fourth Senior Brother...... What time is it? "Xiao Jiu stayed until midnight because of insomnia last night, and he couldn't fall asleep until the end of the hour, and this moment is when he is sleepy.

"It's three quarters in the hour! Get up! Otherwise, the buns won't be your share! ”

As soon as he heard that there were buns, Xiao Jiu hurriedly tried to sober up, and then turned around three hundred and sixty degrees, and a carp stood straight on the ground.

After putting on the clothes neatly, I didn't forget to make the bed simply.

"Come here, I left you five buns, all of them are beef filling~"

"Thank you, brother."

Xiao Jiu took the bun plate, and he didn't bother to wash his hands, so he directly picked up one at random and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Hmmm! Delicious! After swallowing a mouthful of buns, Xiao Jiu did not forget to praise.

"Hey, hey! Xiao Jiu! The housekeeper of Fang Cai Ying Lin Yuan said that after breakfast, you should go to Linghui Hall to accept the final test. ”

Xiao Jiu nodded sneeringly, and then ate two more steamed buns.

I touched my round belly and burped with satisfaction.

"Senior brother, then I won't waste time, I'll go first."

"Well, I'll go with you!"

"Okay!" The two of them then went together in the direction of Linghui Hall.

It wasn't until I arrived at the door of the main hall that I found that it was already full of people.

When the maid at the door saw Xiao Jiu coming, she hurriedly stepped forward, intending to take him inside, but stopped the fourth senior brother at the door.

"This son, please wait outside the door for the time being."

"That's fine. Xiao Jiu, as a senior brother, I can only accompany you here. ”

Xiao Jiu nodded, and confidently followed the maid in.

"Alliance leader, the Ninth Prince has arrived."

Cao Wenyue closed his eyes and nodded silently.

"Xiao Jiu has seen the alliance leader and the seniors."

Xiao Jiufang had already carefully checked it when he came in, and basically the faces of the people present had traces of time, and it seemed that they should all be old rivers and lakes.

"Excuse me!" On the main seat, Cao Wenyue, who was the leader of the alliance, said solemnly.

Although he was dissatisfied with Xiao Jiu's previous killing of his cousin in the ring, after all, in front of everyone, he still had to look like a martial arts alliance leader.

After a while, after Xiao Jiu got up and stood still, the martial arts alliance leader spoke again.

"Everyone here is familiar with it

Old friends. I will call everyone one by one today, and it is also to officially announce to you once again that the deity, the leader of the martial arts alliance, has decided to retire. ”

At this point, everyone present had a serious face and did not answer. I thought I knew it early in the morning.

After a pause, the alliance leader continued, "Fortunately, there are many talents in the rivers and lakes, this little ninth prince can be described as a rising star!" Although he did not officially participate in the cultural fight, he won the first place in the martial arts, and the deity was very pleased! ”

"The alliance leader praised it."

Xiao Jiu heard the other party's praise and hurriedly leaned over again to show his modesty.

"The Ninth Prince is polite. Although you have won the first place in the martial arts, after all, you have not participated in the cultural fight, so the deity sincerely asks the elders of the various sects in the martial arts to stay for the time being, which can be regarded as a testimony for everyone to testify to you. ”

Xiao Jiu couldn't help but roll his eyes in his heart. To put it bluntly, this martial arts alliance leader is stingy, and the test after thinking about it must be difficult for himself.

After all, he slapped Cao Meng's guy to death in the ring in public, and the leader of the martial arts alliance will not give up easily.

But although he thought so in his heart, on the surface, Xiao Jiu still said with a respectful look

"What the alliance leader said is extremely true, how the alliance leader tests, Xiao Jiu will fully cooperate."

"That's very good." Cao Wenyue narrowed his eyes and nodded.

He immediately waved his hand at the butler beside him, and soon several people from the Martial Arts League walked in from outside the hall carrying a huge screen.

After the screen was carefully lowered, Cao Wenyue spoke again

"Look, everybody."

Naturally, everyone here is an old man who has seen the world, and when you look at this screen, you will know that it is not extraordinary.

One by one, they couldn't help but turn their heads and point at the screen.

"This screen must be an old thing from the previous dynasty, right?"

Those who are knowledgeable here only glanced at it and said firmly.

"Master Ehua is really a good eye, this thing is indeed the old screen of the previous dynasty, called Luoxia Lonely Goose. It was once owned by the Zhenyuan Emperor of the former dynasty. Qiu An, the left hall master of the Martial Arts League, also immediately answered.

Xiao Jiu took a closer look at the screen and said that it was a treasure, but this material was so shoddy that people couldn't like it.

"I don't know how the alliance leader is going to test the juniors?" Xiao Jiu couldn't help but ask anxiously.

Alliance leader Cao Wenyue narrowed his eyes and sneered.

"This question is on top of this screen, you can look at it closely, and it will naturally understand."

After Xiao Jiu heard this, he strode towards the crumbling screen.

Once upon a time, when he was in Qingyu, Master once gave him a record of the history of the former government and the opposition, and in a few shadows, he seemed to have seen a description of this broken screen in the book.

In the wild history, it is said that when the Zhenyuan Emperor of the previous dynasty was alive, he liked to collect screens, and there were three or four screens of gold carvings and jade pendants in the dormitory alone.

It is said that like the broken screen in front of him, Emperor Zhenyuan should be disdainful, why did he carry it here as a treasure?

With a full of doubts, Xiao Jiu still walked forward slowly and looked at his face carefully

The subtlety of the front screen.

The screen is divided into four panels, two with characters and two with ancient paintings.

Could it be the preciousness of this screen, on this painting?

After looking up and down for a long time, Xiao Jiu finally saw the names of the two people under the two paintings.

One of the paintings depicting the sunset of mountains and rivers is engraved with the word "baby saucer", while the other painting depicts a wild goose with the words "Liu Siming" engraved underneath.

He had seen a record of these two men in the legendary history of the Hexagonal Pavilion.

The former is the most important minister of the emperor of the previous dynasty, in the spring of the fourteenth year of Zhenyuan, the infant disc entered the palace to test the scientific examination, and was appointed by the emperor on the spot as the champion of the new department, because of his intelligence, accustomed to observing words and feelings, so he won the emperor's love.

Within half a year, he was promoted to a first-class officer.

Some people in the DPRK and China were jealous of his talent and framed him several times.

However, on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, the palace banquet invited the ministers of the humerus to drink, and the baby disc died violently on the spot due to excessive drinking.

After the death of the baby, the whole country mourned in silence, and the emperor issued a decree posthumously crowned him as a virtuous and loyal marquis, and allowed him to be buried on the west side of the emperor's mausoleum.

As for the latter, Liu Siming is a literary minister, and it is said that he is quite familiar with poetry, books, etiquette and music, and is also deeply loved by Emperor Zhenyuan.

Unlike the tragic death of the baby, Liu Siming resigned and returned to his hometown before the age of 60.

It is said that before he left Beijing, he also left a poem for the emperor, which was once rumored to be a good story.

Xiao Jiu didn't remember all of the poems, but only vaguely remembered that one of them was written like this.

"May you be happy and not sorrowful, and may you live long live your ...... in vain"

When he saw this paragraph at that time, Xiao Jiu only felt that this guy was very contradictory, since he was so reluctant to be the emperor, why did he resign and return to his hometown, it was really incomprehensible.

But today, seeing the treasure screen of the previous dynasty, Xiao Jiu seems to understand something.

These two paintings are from the hands of Emperor Zhenyuan's beloved ministers, presumably when Emperor Zhenyuan ordered someone to build them, it was also to commemorate these two, and the accompanying words next to them should be Emperor Zhenyuan's own handwriting.

This martial arts alliance leader has made so much effort to bring this treasure in, it must not be as simple as just letting himself appreciate it, this old fox must want to test him, why did one of these two die violently and the other resigned.

After making up his mind, Xiao Jiu turned around confidently and arched his hand

"The alliance leader wants to ask Xiao Jiu, why did the baby disc die violently on Chinese New Year's Eve? And why did this Lord Liu Siming resign and return to his hometown for no reason? ”

Cao Wenyue didn't say yes or no, just pointed to the screen

"Tell me about it first."

Xiao Jiu pondered for a moment when he heard this, then rolled his eyes and said

"Everyone knows that the talent of the baby disc is feared by the emperor and excluded by the ministers, such a person can fight with him if he is not a traitor! Therefore, the younger generation believes that the baby disc should have died at the hands of Emperor Zhenyuan. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was dumbfounded.

Who doesn't know, the history books of the previous dynasty recorded that after the death of the baby saucer, he was posthumously awarded the title of virtuous and loyal marquis by the emperor, and Xiao Jiu dared to say that the baby disc died at the hands of the emperor, which really made people feel ridiculous.

Just whispering in the crowd

, the martial arts alliance leader who was seated suddenly looked at Xiao Jiu with appreciation.

"How so?"

Xiao Jiu tugged at the corners of his lips and smiled confidently

"First, with the intelligence of the baby disc, it will be on guard against the ministers who oppose it day by day, and it is recorded in the history books, 'Wei Shu and Wang Yu have repeatedly stabbed the baby and can't, and the baby is in danger of dying violently because of anger, and the wisdom of the baby is much higher than the court' It can be seen from this paragraph that the baby disc is a very smart person, and even the two ministers of Wei Shu and Wang Yu are not their opponents, and they can be described as a monopoly above the court. Just imagine, how can the emperor sit back and relax without worry? If you are instigated by some villains, you will naturally attack them. ”

"Ridiculous! It's ridiculous! After the baby's violent death, the emperor was grieved, and the water and rice did not enter for three days! Are these all fake? After Xiao Jiu's words, Qiu An, the master of the left hall, immediately jumped to his feet and retorted.

"That's it! If it's really as your little doll says, the baby dish is extremely smart, how can you comply? Isn't it as good as running away? Master Ehua, the sect leader of the Taisi Shadow Sect, was also full of disbelief at the moment.

In the face of everyone's doubts, Xiao Jiu seemed unusually calm.

"No matter how smart the baby disc is, he is also a loyal person. It is precisely because of this that those villains will instigate in front of the emperor, and if he refuses to go to the banquet, the emperor will think that he has a rebellious heart! If he goes, it will be a dead end! Maybe Emperor Zhenyuan is reluctant to let the baby die, right? Therefore, after his death, the water and rice did not enter, and he was grief-stricken. Do you know that you don't blame yourself too much? But the big mistake was made after all! Even if he delayed for half a year to dispose of Wang Yu and Wei Shu, the baby disc would not be able to come back! ”
