General Lan Hai stretched out his hand and motioned for the two subordinates to stop, and then said, "Actually, it may not be a good thing to go to our underground prison for two or three years. ”

"Your Excellency. Lu Beichen said slowly, "If I say that I want to take the national exam, can adults help me?"

Lan Hai was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses for a moment and said, "Joke." You've come all the way here just to take the national exam?"

Lu Beichen thought for a moment and replied, "Yes." ”

"The national examination has always been an open examination, so why do you need to come here?"

"I'll tell you the truth, Master once told me that the national examination was going to come to find the prime minister's recommendation. So now, I have to come here to have the opportunity to take the national exam. Lu Beichen said seriously, then felt that something was wrong, and asked, "You said that this exam is open?"

"That's right. The national examination is divided into a literary test and a martial test, as long as the disciples have already stepped into the realm of initial enlightenment, they can participate, so why do you need to be introduced?" said General Lan Hai.

Lu Beichen was stunned in his heart, and there was an indescribable feeling.

It turned out that Master wanted to stop talking that day because of this. The words that were not said that day turned out to be that they wanted to say that they had not practiced, so they were not even qualified to take the exam.

General Lan Hai seemed to notice the change in the young man's expression, so he said, "But you haven't practiced. ”

Lu Beichen bowed his head and was silent, but his heart was as complicated as if he had knocked over a five-flavor bottle.

Yes, it is precisely because I have no practice that I need to come to the prime minister, I should have thought of it a long time ago. It's just that in this strange place, what qualifications do I have for the prime minister to introduce me?

"If you don't practice, why did the prime minister recommend you?" Lan Hai saw that he didn't speak, and continued to ask, "Why do you want to take the national exam? Do you want to take the exam, or do you have some other purpose?"

Lu Beichen raised his head and asked helplessly, "What purpose can I have?"

"For example, you are a spy sent by the demons. ”

"Why do you say that about me without evidence?"

After all, he is still a fifteen-year-old boy, and he will still have a temper after all, and this feeling of being wronged and despised inexplicably is not the first time.

"Do you want to look in the mirror and see the blood on your clothes? That's the best evidence. What normal person would come back with a body of blood?" Lan Hai stared at him, then winked at the two guards beside him.

The two guards didn't say a word, and snatched the burden that Lu Beichen had been holding tightly.

As one of the prime minister's most important generals, Lan Hai has always had extremely keen observation, and from the very beginning, Lan Hai has noticed that this young man has been clinging to his burden.

Bang bang bang......

Everything in the baggage was turned out, which made Lu Beichen start to get nervous.

"You tell me what these are, and I'll let you go. ”

"What if I don't say it?"

"Then I'll burn all of these things. Lan Hai pointed to the letter on the table from the pile of things, and said with a blank face, "Especially this, why is there a letter that casts a spell." ”

Lu Beichen clenched his fists, lowered his voice, and said in an unprecedentedly firm tone, "It's still the same sentence, as long as I can see the prime minister, I will explain the ins and outs of the matter." If you burn this letter, you will be risking the condemnation of the world. ”

"What did you say!"

"I'm telling the truth. If you don't believe me, you can try. Lu Beichen continued, "And you also said that this letter has cast a spell, even if you want to know, you can't read it." ”

Most of the generals in the Ocean Palace had participated in that cruel war with the Holy Emperor back then, and over the years, they had thought about the people everywhere, and their way of acting was based on "benevolence".

Benevolence is clear, but it does not mean stupidity. Over the years, the generals of the Ocean Palace have been calm in the face of things, and they have a lot of methods for people who quibble and treacherous, and there is always a way to interrogate the truth.

This trait is not just manifested in one person, but in a group of people.

Prime Minister Zheng Hang was able to be so valued by the Holy Emperor precisely because he did something seemingly simple but was actually extremely time-consuming and laborious - cultivating talents.

Today, there is a lot of talent. But talent is the most difficult thing in the world to master. If it can be put in the most appropriate position to be really used, it is naturally good, but if it is placed in the wrong place, or without guidance, it is likely to be like the youngest son of the Zhong family back then, not only did he become a blockbuster, but his life became a story that makes people sigh.

All the problems in the world, as long as they involve people, become complicated. However, Prime Minister Zheng Hang handled this matter very well. Over the years, almost all students who have been recommended by the prime minister to take the national examination or participate in other tasks have been labeled as excellent and excellent.

This is also why many people hope to be appreciated, recommended and guided by Prime Minister Zheng Hang in the exam.

Blue Ocean is also a soldier that Zheng Hang took a fancy to from the long sea of people back then. He has followed the Prime Minister for many years, and his style of doing things is somewhat constrained by the rule of "benevolence", but in every such interrogation situation, he always has a way to force out words.

Only this time, he found that he had never asked anything.

"Is it because the young man in front of you is more stubborn than himself?"

"Or did I miss something important? The prime minister asked me to test the purpose of the young man's coming to the Holy Capital, but until now I have not been able to extract any clues from the young man's mouth. ”

In the dreary air, there was suddenly a cool breeze.

The pouring rain was still pouring outside, but it had long since restrained the unnecessary arrogance and mischievousness.

Time was passing, and General Lan Hai was silent for a long time before he said, "Since you don't want to say anything, then you can go to the underground prison and lie down for a few days." When the prime minister returns, if I remember this incident, I will report it to him. ”

"It's too late. Lu Beichen's expression was calm, and he couldn't see a trace of fluctuating emotions. This calm seems to be more offensive than the edge of the Blue Sea General.

"You have always been calm, or rather arrogant, to be honest, I admire you, but it is useless to be stubborn. ”

"I'm still saying that. ”

"It seems that I can't ask anything today, so you better think clearly before answering me. ”

......

......

The wind and rain outside continued, and Lu Beichen was sent to the prison again.

He sat quietly in a clean corner, looking at this empty underground square, and a lot of emotions were born in his heart.

In this magnificent, lively and prosperous holy capital, he doesn't know how to treat people tactfully, and he doesn't know how to beat around the bush. The deception mentioned in the book, he was already a little tired before he had time to encounter it.

At this moment, I suddenly found myself more suitable for this prison built under the eight feet of the palace complex. There are no complicated interpersonal relationships, no messy things, everything is calm, and there are no waves, this kind of life is really good.

Sleepless tonight, slightly chilly at night.

Night, silent and dark. The sky was drizzling with a drizzle, and it was dark and dreary.

A cool breeze blew in through the small window and into my heart.

Some unique breaths also blew in with this wind. Wisps of breath wafted through the area, melting the coolness of the night.

The wind on a summer night is really pleasant.

......

......

"Prime Minister, I have already gone down according to your request. ”

"How?" Zheng Hang asked simply.

Lan Hai thought for a moment, and then said seriously, "Actually, I've always doubted his identity. ”

"Do you think he is also a pawn sent by the demons?" Zheng Hang said nonchalantly.

"Hmm. Lan Hai hesitated a little, but still continued, "But from the process of communicating with him just now, I think he is just a stubborn person. ”

"How?"

"He doesn't even have a lotus seed, he's a person who has no experience in cultivation. Being able to subdue the Red Lion is probably just a fluke. ”

"Interesting. The prime minister frowned slightly, and a smile appeared on his face.

Lan Hai was a little confused, and then said, "By the way, he kept saying that he wanted to see you, but he refused to say what it was. I noticed that he was very nervous about the contents of his baggage from the moment he came in, especially when I picked up the letter. ”

"He said he was going to take the national exam?"

"Yes. It's just that I think it's a little strange that he doesn't look like a person who came to take the national exam at all. Moreover, the prime minister's recommendation of students is all personally selected by you, how can there be a precedent for self-recommendation?"

"That kid doesn't have any experience in cultivation, and if he wants to take the national exam, he really needs a recommendation, and that's right. But what exactly is it about this letter that makes him so nervous?"

"I don't know, but this letter has been spelled. ”

"Cast a spell?" the Prime Minister tilted his head slightly, and there was a hint of fluctuation in his calm tone.

"It's kind of interesting. ”

(I've always wanted to ask the question, if you had a choice, would you like your life to be uneventful, or would you rather live your life with a passion for yourself?)
