At this time, even the emperor was a little surprised, and he asked, "Although this year's core disciple Dabi has been delayed a little, it has also started for nearly four months, and you have only recruited one country?"

Zhang Xiaobai bowed slightly and replied truthfully: "Don't hide it from Your Majesty, I have been in the Gen Domain before, and I did not return to the Earthquake Domain until the end of July, and I officially recruited the first country on August 21. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

The Emperor nodded slightly.

If calculated in this way, Zhang Xiaobai is indeed nearly three months less than others, but whether from an objective or subjective point of view, the country that chooses to support Zhang Xiaobai is indeed a little less.

And Pingtian Palace will not delay Dabi for him for a few months because he has something to do, so the gap between Zhang Xiaobai and others is largely impossible to catch up.

After a while, the emperor frowned and asked the national teacher next to him: "August 21st, why is this day so familiar, but it was last month, did something big happen?"

The national teacher thought for a moment, and said in the emperor's ear: "There is nothing happening in the country, but at that time, a country suddenly announced that a new king would ascend the throne, and he was still a woman. ”

Recalling some details, the national teacher added:

"You also mentioned this matter to me that day, that country launched a series of wars after the emperor ascended the throne, and it was invincible, and you also let the people below pay attention to the country's movements. ”

"Oh, there's such a thing, it's called the Kingdom of Baodo, right? The Emperor nodded, finally digging through the depths of his memory.

However, because so many disciples came to visit, he forgot about it, and now that he talks about it, he remembers it again.

He had made a conclusion at the beginning: after the queen took office, there were only two ways for the kingdom of Hota to collapse, and the other was to rise completely and become a southern power comparable to the kingdom of Kato.

Soon after, he heard that three countries had begun to attack the kingdom of Baodo, and almost overwhelmed the kingdom of Baodo, who had won a hundred battles, and he estimated that this kingdom would soon disappear from history.

So he didn't pay much attention to it.

Now that the Baoduo Kingdom was suddenly mentioned, the king looked at Zhang Xiaobai with some curiosity and asked, "It's convenient to tell everyone, which country is the only country you have recruited?"

"It doesn't matter. Zhang Xiaobai grinned and said, "Baoduo Kingdom." ”

Sure enough, the emperor and the national teacher have been rising in their hearts for such a year, and the current situation of the Baoduo Kingdom is not optimistic, in their hearts, the only vote in Zhang Xiaobai's hand may be invalid.

Well, there are zero countries.

The emperor shook his head with some regret, even though Zhang Xiaobai said earlier, how many advantages there were and how many benefits were promised.

But Zhang Xiaobai couldn't even pass the first stage of the core disciple Dabi, and it was categorically impossible for the Kato Kingdom to support him anymore, and at this moment, the emperor had already put Zhang Xiaobai in a position that was not considered for the time being.

After all, even if the Kato Kingdom can bring several surrounding countries and support the Kato Kingdom at the same time, there are only six countries, which is not much for the current top thirty-two, and it is even facing a great risk of elimination.

Zhang Xiaobai's heart tightened, he saw the emperor's attitude towards him, and it was obvious that he would not have an advantage in the next selection.

He hurriedly spoke: "Your Majesty, I have a reluctant request here, and I ask Your Majesty to agree." ”

Zhang Xiaobai still has the identity of a Xuan Master after all, although he has decided not to choose Zhang Xiaobai anymore, but he still can't snub Zhang Xiaobai, he smiled and said: "It's okay, let's say it." ”

Then, Zhang Xiaobai squinted his eyes and said: "Your Majesty, you said that the core disciple Dabi still has to see everyone's skills in the end, if I can beat the other five people present, please Your Majesty can give me a chance." ”

"Don't decide which country to support so quickly, but make a decision half a month later. ”

"Why, can I know why?"

The Emperor asked with some curiosity.

"Back to Your Majesty, fifteen days later, you will see. Zhang Xiaobai deliberately bought a pass, according to his analysis, the Baoduo Kingdom can at least survive fifteen days under the attack of three countries, at least it will not be destroyed.

Therefore, he put the time limit at the position of fifteen days, so that if he is inferior to others in some places, he may still have time to make amends.

The emperor immediately smiled heartily and said, "Okay, I promise you, but only if you can win, the other five Xuan Masters present can." ”

Zhang Xiaobai was a little surprised at first, why the emperor agreed to his request so quickly, but after thinking about it, Zhang Xiaobai figured out all the ways.

In fact, the emperor himself didn't want to go to the book so early, and he didn't want to speak for the Xuanshi he wanted to support so early.

Because the longer the time drags on, the clearer he will be able to investigate, and he may be able to wait for talents other than the six, and the longer the time, the later he can support the Xuan Master, and the more manpower and material resources will be left.

Therefore, Zhang Xiaobai just helped the emperor say what he wanted to say in advance.

In fact, the emperor himself did not want to announce the people he supported so early.

I saw the emperor platoon and smiled: "Since Zhang Xiaobai Shangxian has already mentioned it, the most important criterion for the candidates for the school examination in our country is their own strength. ”

"If your own strength is not strong, then even if you finally enter the second round of strength confrontation, it will be useless, after all, there is no way to really enter the eighth place, then everything is empty.

Therefore, the emperor is very willing to set aside some more time to take the exam and hand them over to Zhang Xiaobai.

Several other Xuan Masters all frowned, in their opinion, even if Zhang Xiaobai delayed for fifteen days like this, it would be useless.

For them, the current Zhang Xiaobai is not even a qualified opponent, he now has only one country in his hands, even if he can recruit one country in three days in fifteen days, he is not as good as a few others.

What's more, it is impossible to recruit two countries in just half a month, how can it be possible to recruit one in three days.

Even if he went around these countries, he would not be able to do it in fifteen days.

So what kind of wishful thinking is Zhang Xiaobai, even the emperor is a little curious, the reason why Zhang Xiaobai made this request is obviously that he is confident that he can impress himself within half a month.

How do you impress yourself?

The Emperor thought curiously.
