After traveling thousands of miles to the Holy Capital, the most important task was to meet Prime Minister Zheng Hang, whom the master mentioned. And now, this person finally appeared in front of him, but Lu Beichen couldn't raise a trace of excitement.

He was even a little nervous.

Whenever people mention this prime minister, their faces will be filled with a sense of admiration, and those folk legends even add fuel to the story of Prime Minister Zheng Hang to the extreme, so Lu Beichen never imagined that the prime minister who enjoys such a reputation would be like this.

According to his previous imagination, Lu Beichen always felt that a big man like the prime minister should wear a gorgeous robe, and there must be something extraordinary in his conversation, but this prime minister was wearing a plain robe and sitting on the study couch, not so much as an important minister in the court, but more like an elder in the family.

"Sit down. The prime minister's voice was very gentle, and his demeanor was leisurely.

Lu Beichen hadn't woken up from the shock of this sudden meeting, and stood in place in a daze, realizing that he should sit down at this time after a long time.

"You have a very strong ability to keep secrets, and it seems that if you tell you a secret, you will never divulge half a sentence, and you are a person with creed. But just by keeping your mouth shut, you can't participate in the national examination. ”

"Prime Minister, I'm ......" Lu Beichen originally wanted to say, don't talk to me in a tone of picking talents, but then I thought about it, it's not right.

He had been thinking about sending letters in his heart, and taking the national examination was just a way for the master to mention. To be precise, his goal has always been to deliver letters, not to participate in the national exam. But that night, his rhetoric to General Lan Hai was to ask the prime minister to introduce him to participate in the national examination, so he wanted to bring back what he said before.

"Then how can I participate?" Lu Beichen said. He naturally knew that this was a knowingly question, but he really couldn't think of anything to say for a while.

"You, you don't practice. The Prime Minister's voice was calm.

There was a dead silence in the air.

Although this is a fact, I have to say that this cold water was a little unexpected, so that Lu Beichen's expression was a little confused at this time.

He sat blankly in his chair for a long time before he said one word, "Yes." ”

Later, he blurted out, "But who can guarantee the future." ”

This sentence sounded very confident, but Lu Beichen just said it casually, and even he was surprised how this sentence could come out of his mouth.

There was an air of embarrassment in the small palace.

Suddenly it was pouring rain outside the palace.

The prime minister didn't seem to notice the rain, or maybe he could ignore the embarrassment, and continued, "But you accidentally broke into the library of the Ocean Palace, and injured the red-haired lion that I had cultivated for many years. How does a person who doesn't practice do it?"

I thought that sentence was a ridicule, but I didn't expect it to be just a doubt, wondering why a young man who had no cultivation could defeat the red lion? Or did it mean something else?

There was silence in the hall, and Lu Beichen didn't answer immediately. At this time, he sat on the stool, and his posture became more and more strange, because he was sitting very uncomfortable.

I don't know when, the Prime Minister's eyes emitted a deep light, as if he could see through the world with just one glance.

Lu Beichen was sitting on pins and needles, and his expression was very unnatural. This feeling of being seen through from the heart to the skin is really uncomfortable, and it is more uncomfortable than group ridicule.

It took him a long time to adjust his state, and then he held back a sentence, "It's fate, it's just lucky." ”

This is certainly not true. If you say that some luck is naturally reasonable, but if it rises to the term "lucky", he has been inseparable from the word luck since he was born. That's just a euphemism.

"Well, I'm lucky. The prime minister said unexpectedly

Lu Beichen was stunned, and he was a little at a loss.

The prime minister looked at him and said calmly, "The demon clan is the most cunning existence in the world. Although I don't want to kill innocents indiscriminately, I also tolerate anyone who is not bad and well-intentioned. ”

This sentence has no connection to the previous one. If there is a third person listening to the scene, it will definitely think that these two people's thinking is extremely jumpy, so that they can understand each other's meaning in this kind of communication.

It seems to be unrelated, but it is actually intentional.

The night before, the general also mentioned the word demon, but Lu Beichen hadn't understood it at that time.

Now, when he heard these two words again, he suddenly understood a lot - on the first night he entered the Holy Capital that day, he had witnessed the battle between the human race and the demon race for a hundred years, and even participated in it himself. From what some people have heard, this is definitely a rare thing to see, but it is definitely not a good thing.

After all, that incident explained a lot, it showed that the strength of the demons was not what it used to be, and it showed that they had enough ability to demagogue. Therefore, it is estimated that those demon spies lurking in the Holy Capital of the Terran Race are the most important reasons that plague the characters of the Holy Capital the most.

There are always some people who are not good enough in terms of wisdom and strength, but the ruthless, shameless and despicable are far beyond people's imagination, once these people are used by the demons, mediocrity will also become a great threat to the human race.

What the master said that day, the demon race is eyeing the tiger, the demon race is extremely cunning, and even the human race has elements with ill intentions, which is probably the same reason.

Lu Beichen is still young, and his experience and experience are not enough to understand these things, but for some reason, he thinks about these things very clearly. Because he thought clearly, he didn't want to follow the sentence in a hesitant way, so he asked, "What are you suspecting?"

When he said this, his voice was obviously brighter, and he seemed to be a little dissatisfied, so that when he said this, he was a little dry, and people who didn't know thought he was nervous.

"What do you think I should be suspicious of?" said the Prime Minister.

"If you are in doubt, you should investigate until you have a result. Lu Beichen said.

Lu Beichen was still a little stunned by this conversation, but in this stunnedness, he vaguely understood what the prime minister meant—is this a Hongmen banquet? It turns out that this is a summer rain and a wind.

A smile crossed the prime minister's face, and his eyes were bright.

A cool wind blew through the window.

"Rightly, suspicion should be investigated until the matter is positive. He paused for a moment and continued, "A few days ago, the Demon Clan raided the Holy Capital, and we found several batches of spies, do you know?"

"Yes. Lu Beichen didn't understand why the prime minister mentioned this, and he didn't know if he knew that he was on the scene that day, so he could only tell the truth.

"There are cultivators and many other geniuses gathered in the Holy Capital, and this is the core of the human race. If it's gone, the Terrans will revert to the days when they were enslaved, but there's no way I'm going to let that happen. The Prime Minister's tone is very firm, and he really deserves to be called a hero in people's hearts.

It's just that Lu Beichen was a little unimpressed, thinking to himself what does this have to do with me?

The prime minister continued, "The demons have always been cunning, and the more ordinary people are, the more suspicious they are. This time, we won't be fooled easily. ”

Lu Beichen finally understood a little, or finally didn't want to pretend to be stupid, and said seriously, "I haven't practiced yet, just like those people said, I can't fight the chicken." So even if I'm lucky, it's not so good that the demons come to me as a spy. ”

It's just a young man with no cultivation experience, in front of a powerful race like the Demon Race, it's not a good idea at all, why would the Demon Race find this kind of person to be a spy?

"Whatever you say, I'm not. Every word spoken today is true. If you don't believe it, you can send the letter to the Holy Emperor. Everything will be revealed. ”

"Faith, rush that letter into the hands of the saint?"

Prime Minister Zheng Hang smiled slightly and continued, "If you do something to it, how can we afford this responsibility?"
