The man suddenly raised his eyes and looked, "Ah, hurt the adult!" After saying that, he was about to salute, but the injured man hurriedly grabbed him, "Hey, what are you doing?" β
"Hurt adults. The man only shyly called out the madness, but said nothing more, he did not know what to say to express his excitement - the madness was probably the first person in the palace who had come to speak to him.
"Go ahead, they're still waiting. The madness smiled and pointed to the fiftieth group where Jiuqing was.
Jiuqing tilted his head and looked at the man, his delicate shyness was really a little moving, his red little face seemed to be drunk, Jiuqing glanced at the madness, and when he saw him nodding to himself, he immediately stepped forward with a smile and grabbed the man's hand, and said, "Brother, let's go, don't shirk." β
"Uh......" The man lowered his eyebrows shyly, and glanced back at the madness, and then the palace attendant couldn't wait to urge again: "The fiftieth group!"
"Let's go. The madman backed him from behind, and stood at the end.
The man couldn't help but be a little frightened when he saw hundreds of pairs of eyes staring at him, but when he saw the disdainful and contemptuous gaze in the crowd, he suddenly puffed up his chest, took a few deep breaths, and Ren Jiuqing pulled him into the Hall of Speech.
According to the guidance of the palace attendants, the six people entered six small rooms, Jiuqing ranked fifth, and the shy concubine ranked sixth. All the small rooms faced the position of the emperor and the examiner in the center, but there was a curtain in front of them, and they could only see the vague figure of the emperor.
"Sir, Lord Sishi. Jiuqing lowered his head slightly and saluted. Si Shi didn't move, and the old Mr. Mian Ti stood up, smiled at him, and pressed down with his withered right hand, motioning for him to sit down.
"Yes. Jiuqing smiled and sat down. He didn't expect Mr. Mian Ti to be so amiable.
"Come, taste it, this is the food of the Western Barbarians, and they must offer it every year. Mr. Mian Ti gently opened the silver bell jar on the table in front of Jiuqing, and the scarlet horse meat on the silver plate immediately pounced with a pungent fishy smell.
Jiuqing was stunned for a moment, and he almost raised his hand to cover his mouth and nose, but he immediately thought of what his father had taught him - no matter how much you mind what you encounter at the moment, you must respect what you encounter, because this is a necessary quality for a person, and he will not be surprised.
He resisted his impulse, hesitated, stretched out his tender little hand, tore a small piece from the horse's flesh, and put it in his mouth. It was raw meat, and for him, it was too irritating and disgusting.
But his tutor wouldn't allow him to say all this, and he knew that that was the topic of the day. After chewing it all, he smiled, "The food of the Xiban is like the Xiban people, which makes people surprising and close to the blood surging. It is worthy of being a bold and brave nation!"
Mr. Mitti smiled without saying a word, and knocked on the bell jar.
At this time, Si Shi, who had not spoken, stood up and said in a deep voice: "Name." β
"Nangong Jiuqing. Jiuqing said with a smile.
"You're ready to go out. Si Shi said expressionlessly.
Jiuqing was stunned and nodded obediently, "Oh, okay." With that, he turned and walked out.
The concubine in the next room also walked out at this time, and Jiuqing immediately went up and said, "Brother, you also came out, hey, my name is Nangong Jiuqing, what is your name?"
"Me?" he was a little surprised, and lowered his head shyly, "My name is Lin Xue." It turned out that this person was the second son of Pingzhou Zhizhou, Lin Xue, who stayed at the Phoenix Dragon Restaurant.
"Oh, Brother Xue, how did you do in the exam?" asked Jiuqing excitedly. You can see that he already feels that he has passed.
Lin Xue nodded slightly, "It's okay, En...... Do you know the wounded man well? He seems to be a nice person. β
"yes. Hurt my brother is very gentle. I only met him today. Jiuqing grinned.
Seeing that he didn't see anything outside, Lin Xue couldn't help but relax her vigilance and showed an obscure smile.
As he spoke, they had already left the door of the Hall of Speech, and with them there was a staggered sound of the palace attendant's protruding voiceβ"The last man!
Lin Xue's body trembled slightly, and when she saw the injured maniac on the Wujian Ping calmly walking down the steps and smiling at him, she couldn't help but be moved, and when she passed by the madman, she said respectfully and softly: "Thank you, Lord Hurt!"
The madness smiled at him, greeted Jiuqing, and stepped into the Hall of Speech. At this time, the curtain has been removed, to be precise, the people from the Qing Palace Department are already cleaning the room, after all, this trial is about to end, and it is time to restore the original state.
"Hurt adults. β
As soon as the madman came in, everyone saluted him, he was a little surprised, and waved his hands in a panic, "I'm just a concubine who is running, don't ...... like this"
Senxia smiled, "They should, you don't have to excuse yourself." β
The emperor also nodded silently.
The madman sighed helplessly, bowed and saluted, "Ladies and gentlemen, please get up." β
"Thank you, sir. Everyone got up and returned to everyone, which made Qianshui laugh, got up and said, "It seems that you can only take this exam...... The prince has helped you come forward to test. β
Qianshui sighed secretly, almost revealing his identity as an examiner. Fortunately, the madness didn't care, and looked around at the twelve Mr. Mianti and Miyasho Sishi, and saw that they did not object, but nodded slightly in acquiescence, and did not say much, and bowed respectfully to Qianshui.
At this time, Tong Ying poked him behind Qianshui, and Qianshui turned around and saw Tong Yingcai holding a bamboo basket and handing it to him. He was stunned for a moment, and then frowned, "Isn't it okay?"
"It's his turn. Tong Ying said without a smile.
Qianshui glanced at the emperor, who was about to say something, but said calmly: "I hope I can compete fairly like everyone else." β
Qianshui swallowed his saliva, and his crazy words were clearly telling himself that he didn't want to be special. However, this question ......
"Second Prince, can you start?" asked the madman, neither humble nor arrogant.
"Lord Wang. Tong Yingcai also urged in a low voice.
Qianshui glared at him helplessly, and saw that the emperor also reluctantly acquiesced to everything, then took the bamboo basket and turned it around with a smile, put it in front of the feet of the madman, and said to the madman: "Sister, this is one of the pets offered by the Quyin tribe, and they usually dance this thing during the court, so ......"
Qianshui didn't continue, took a step back, and looked at him stunned, just at this time, a musician with a wooden flute came over, and before the madman could speak, the sound of the flute echoed strangely in the hall.
While he was still scratching his head, the bamboo basket at his feet suddenly moved, but because the basket was covered by a lid, he couldn't tell what was inside. But it was only for a second, and the melody continued to rise as if it had reached its highest point, and the lid of the bamboo basket was bounced open, and a snake with an oval head stood tall, and it danced and snorted, making a terrifying "hissing" sound.
He was stunned, he was a little scared, but he knew that this thing should be no threat under the control of the snake dancer, so he simply plucked up the courage and smiled: "Well, I have long heard that the bat snake of the Quyin tribe dances, and when I see it today, it is really extraordinary." β
"The snake dancer can control this bat snake (another name for cobra), which is really a rare and rare skill in the world. The madman nodded slightly, as if he was really amazed by this snake dance.
The snake dancer seemed to be a little fluttering when he heard the madman's comments about himself, and the melody rose more and more, and the bat snake danced more and more excitedly, and it stood up straight, higher than the maniac's knees, and continued to rise.
The melody of the snake dancer circled, the bat snake detoured out of the bamboo basket on its upper body, and approached the leg of the madness a few points, and the three emperors were just about to stop it, but suddenly, the bat snake didn't know what to sense, and turned around and counterattacked, biting the leg of the thousand people who had just stepped forward.
"Third brother!"
Before everyone could react, Qianshui and the emperor exclaimed at the same time. In the next second, I saw the bat snake turn into dust and fall to the ground.
And Qianxia is body trembled, and his red pupils suddenly became more and more scarlet, and even his lips were so red that they seemed to drip blood.
At this time, everyone reacted, hurriedly took a few steps back, and said in horror: "Third Prince......
The frenzy was frightened, he knew that this snake was highly poisonous and there was no cure. He really didn't expect this to happen. The snake dancer on the side was obviously stunned, he had been dancing snakes for so many years, and there had never been a snake bite, but he didn't expect that the first accident was to bite the most terrifying person in the north - the evil king!
"Emperor, let them goβ" Qianxia roared with a little pain on his face, but solemnly.
Qianshui wanted to ask something more, but the emperor immediately shouted coldly: "Quick! all go out! You, go crazy with your injuries." β
Everyone hurriedly ran out, and the people on the sword dance were still a little unclear. It wasn't until Qianshui saw the madness who was still standing there stupidly, and had no choice but to fly out with him, that the Speech Hall collapsed.
"Emperor!"
Everyone exclaimed. The audience was filled with gasps.
Only then did the madness come back to his senses, glanced at Qianshui beside him, and hurriedly stared at the collapsed Speech Hall, and asked in disbelief: "...... they?"
"It's fine. Qianshui frowned and said lightly. If it was just such a collapse, he wouldn't be too worried about the emperor and Qianxia, but if Qianxia's ability exploded - it was only a matter of time before the emperor was wiped out.
"What's going on!" someone asked hurriedly.
"Is the Emperor still inside?" someone asked again.
Bi Yuan was a little stupid, he just subconsciously ran out just now, and simply threw his responsibility as the emperor's personal palace attendant out of the clouds, otherwise how could he leave the emperor......
"Quick, save the emperor!" shouted Yuan in some panic.
At this time, Wu Chuan's heart in the crowd was tight, and he was almost about to release his internal force to rush to save the emperor, but at this critical moment, a red light burst out from the ruins, and a figure rose into the air, and everyone hurriedly covered the dazzling light with their arms.
"Evil Lord!"
As soon as the light dimmed, someone shouted.
The frenzy hurriedly raised his eyes to look, only to see a thousand red dresses flying, green silk dancing, and the originally bright red lips had turned blue, making him look like he was in a demon.
At this moment, a cold voice suddenly sounded - "Freezing Ice!"
