Chapter 114: Quotas
"That's troublesome!" Weng Fan, who returned to the attached courtyard, walked and walked: "How is it good to cancel the policy of the city lord's selection of children this time and change it to a competition system?"
"Why is the patriarch so worried, is this competition a randomly assigned competition, are you afraid that your own family will hurt your own family?" Jing Rui saw that Weng Fan's expression was not very soothing, so he stepped forward and asked.
"It's not!" Weng Fan eased his mood for a while before answering him: "But this time there are only five rankings, which is very unfavorable to us!"
"What's the disadvantage? With our strength, we just occupy these five places, and we won't leave one for the other families!" Hu Yun will always be the least humble one in the crowd.
"I'm not too worried if five places are won by the competition, but one spot is designated by the county magistrate. In other words, one of the five of you must not get a spot. Speaking of this, Weng Fan sighed.
"In that case, why don't you just go to the old man and ask for one?" After Hu Yun finished speaking, he really wanted to leave to find him at the inn where Liang Zihu lived.
Fortunately, Jingrui stopped him: "Huyun can't be rude!"
"I'm just joking, and I definitely don't call him that to my face. But let's hurry up and ask him for that spot, otherwise it won't be good if we go too late and be asked for by other families. Although Hu Yun was a little nonsense, he still made sense of what he said, and everyone agreed.
"Hey, it's not so simple to get this place, you must know that the Liu family has given a lot of benefits to the county magistrate over the years. Although they were all rejected by Liang Zihu one by one, Liang Zihu may not refuse that heart. And most of this quota is for his eldest son Liuhe, we have no hope!" Weng Fan's words undoubtedly poured cold water on everyone.
Hearing that it was Liu He, the meridians on Hu Yun's head were already boiling, and his teeth had been gritted so that his gums were bleeding a little, but he didn't know this. The only thing he knows now is that Liu He must die!
Willow River, what an atmospheric name. Because of his order, all the frost and snow sisters were killed by him, and the most important thing is that cold frost was also defiled, which Hu Yun would never be able to endure.
And now it's still Liu He, he wants to grab that place, and he sees him in Huyun as the one who should be cut by a thousand knives. But I don't have that strength, and I don't have that right.
"It's this Liuhe again, he shouldn't have been allowed to leave alive in the first place!" Jing Rui was also in the mood when he heard this name.
"But what's the use of saying this, you better think about who will give up the school!" the second elder, who was silent on the side, urged happily.
Because he knew that only Zhao Yulong in this group of people was an alchemist and had not used his strength, so in his opinion, Zhao Yulong should be the weakest reason in the crowd. And it just so happened that Zhao Yulong's previous words were specifically aimed at him, and he naturally hoped that Zhao Yulong would withdraw from the competition.
But Weng Fan didn't think like this: "I don't think it's better to be like this! The four of you are coming together, so I will give you all this place, and Xiangyu will stay in our Weng family, after all, a girl has to marry after all, and strength has no effect." It's you kids, but you guys are going to hold up a piece of heaven and earth in the future, how can you do it without absolute strength?"
Weng Fan is indeed a very fair person, and it is not easy to consider outsiders when the number of places is limited, of course, there is also the reason why Zhao Yulong helped him cure his youngest daughter's illness.
"Why bother? Zhao Yulong, who had been silent before, spoke: "It's just a quota, I'll be able to get it by the way when I collect medicine later." After all, I'm just an alchemist, and I'm not good at fighting, and I will lose the competition. ”
After speaking, Zhao Yulong walked straight out. In fact, he really didn't plan to participate in the competition, because his bloodline was always a problem, and whether it was spiritual power or soul power release, there would always be that strong sense of oppression. It would have been better if it had been placed in the past, but now it is even more troublesome to open up the meridians.
Originally, the dragon's bloodline was matched with the operation of the meridians, and if he was not careful, he would release his aura, so now Zhao Yulong is careful when he practices dragon dance swordsmanship, let alone fighting, in case an excitement is exposed.
And more importantly, Zhao Yulong knows that he can naturally get such a thing, Liang Zihu is a smart person and stands on his side, and the quota must be reserved for himself.
In the evening, according to Liang Zihu's schedule, he should have fallen asleep, but today he didn't. Yes, he was waiting for someone, and his instincts knew that he would definitely come.
Bang, bang! There were a few slow knocks on the door, and he hurried to open the door. His intuition was very good, and the person who came was the person he was waiting for - Zhao Yulong.
"If my guess is correct, Your Majesty should have come to ask for the direct promotion quota!" Liang Zihu motioned for him to sit down and spoke directly.
"I don't need to sit, I'm going up the hill right away. Zhao Yulong politely took a sip of the tea he handed over: "You know, my spiritual power must not be released, so I can't participate in this game." ”
Zhao Yulong said very directly, the purpose is to ask for a quota.
"The quota is naturally for Your Majesty, but it's just ......" Speaking of this, Liang Zihu's face showed a look of embarrassment: "It's just, after all, the people want it! In their opinion, I have no friendship between the two, and if I give you this quota, I'm afraid it will arouse suspicion!"
Hearing this, Zhao Yulong had already finished drinking the tea and was about to go out, leaving a sentence when he left: "Isn't that guqin a good reason?"
Zhao Yulong's words really woke up the dreamer, and finding a heavy treasure is naturally a reward, and this place is just a reward for Liang Zihu to get it for the outside world. If Liang Zihu handed over the quota to Zhao Yulong on the grounds of reward, it would indeed not arouse suspicion, at most they would only give Liang Zihu a quota that he could not give up his own things.
............ On the main peak of Qianjun Mountain, Huguo Peak.
"Where am I? Why is it so cold?" Weng Hong, who had just woken up, hugged himself tightly with his hand, the snow was falling on the mountain and his thin clothes were inevitably a little unbearable.
When he was fully conscious, he shook his head: "My head hurts, where is this?"
Soon he found himself in a cave, but it was not the same as the one he had been in, it was not very deep enough to see the light outside, and snow drifted in from time to time.
"What's going on? I remember I wasn't in Qinxian's tomb before? By the way, Weng Zhong, that traitor attacked me, who saved me? Wait for the patriarch to be in danger!" Weng Hong was about to get up.
But he still failed, the injuries on his body were too serious! Although he ate Zhao Yulong's pill, it was just his life saved, even if there was the best pill, it would not be better if he didn't have a few days of rest.
After several failed attempts, Weng Hong gave up: "I hope that alchemist can remind the patriarch, otherwise let that traitor succeed and our Weng family will be finished!"
Just as he was talking to himself, Kui walked in with a mountain deer, which frightened Weng Hong a lot: "Spirit, spirit, spirit beast!"
Of course, Kui also saw his frightened expression, and hurriedly comforted: "Don't be afraid! this is my cave, I won't hurt you!"
But it's a pity that Weng Hong doesn't understand dragon language, and he only thinks that it was Kui's howl before launching an attack, and he was so frightened that he fainted.
"I fainted! Am I that terrible?" Kui put down the mountain deer and looked at the pool formed by the blood left by the mountain deer: "Okay! It does look terrible! But it is ridiculous that such a big person has such a poor psychological quality, and he originally wanted to share some of his meat, but it seems that he can only enjoy it." ”
After saying that, a fire spat out of Kui's mouth, and the venison emitted a ripe aroma.
"Yo, you're here!" Kui looked at Zhao Yulong, who was patting the dust on his clothes.
"En!" Zhao Yulong nodded, and then walked into the cave: "How is his situation?" Zhao Yulong pointed to Weng Hong, who had passed out.
"I woke up just now, but I was so scared that I fainted again. Kui replied as he chewed on the venison.
"It's okay, since he woke up once, it means that the injury has basically improved, and I believe he will wake up again soon." "I'm not very worried about Weng Hong and Zhao Yulong.
Just as he was talking, Weng Hong really woke up: "Ah!" As soon as he woke up and saw Kui, he shouted again.
Zhao Yulong also felt helpless about this, such a big person was still so shocked. But there is no way, you can't let him keep yelling, so Zhao Yulong hurriedly said: "Don't be afraid! Great Elder, he is my friend, he will not eat people, and he saved you." ”
Hearing this, Weng Hong calmed down, and he pointed at Kui with a surprised gaze: "You mean he saved me?"
"Yes, he rescued you from the grave!"
Hearing this, Weng Hong calmed down: "Then where is the patriarch?
"It's okay for the time being, but the third elder has been killed by Weng Zhong. But I don't have any evidence against Weng Zhong yet, so I can't find him out until you're healed. ”
"Uh-huh!I understand!" Weng Zhong nodded: "Anyway, I'm hungry, can you ask your friend to give me some meat ......?"
