After the iron door was closed, it could only be pushed open inside, Zhuo Zangfeng didn't have time to look at the carved patterns on the door, and under the urging of Liu Haiquan, he finally decided to go out.

Two duelists, whoever steps out of the iron gate first will win.

Zhuo Zangfeng gave him enough face, and the roots of the incense were already about to burn.

Just as Zhuo Zangfeng's palm hit the iron door, his back was completely exposed.

Liu Haiquan suddenly bounced up like a cheetah lying on the ground, and the long sword that had already drawn out its scabbard stabbed out with the surging sword qi.

This sword was perfect, and the strong sword intent on the sword had already sealed all the directions that Zhuo Zangfeng could retreat.

However, Zhuo Zangfeng seemed to have taken precautions, and just when Liu Haiquan's sword was three inches away from his back, he stabbed back.

Whether it is speed or strength, this sword is not comparable to Liu Haiquan.

There are no cumbersome moves, just a simple backstab.

Liu Haiquan's frightened eyes were open, and Zhuo Zangfeng's cold sword tip had already been inserted into his throat.

A stream of blood spurted out, and Liu Haiquan's eyes were full of doubts in addition to horror.

Zhuo Zangfeng put his sword back into its sheath, saw Liu Haiquan's dead body falling to the ground, and said coldly: "A person who can give up everything for the Dragon Gate test, can he easily admit defeat?"

Liu Haiquan had difficulty breathing, his throat rattled, and blood kept pouring out of his neck.

"The more you talk, the more exposed you become. After saying that, he pushed open the iron door, stepped into the winter sun, and took a deep breath.

Li Longji looked at the scene that appeared on the Reflection Mirror, and expressed his dissatisfaction to Bai Yunsheng on the side.

"Why didn't you stop it, sir?"

Bai Yunsheng's expression remained unchanged, and he said calmly: "Your Majesty doesn't know, that Liu Haiquan obviously used tricks to confuse the opponent, so that the other party mistakenly thought that he gave up the competition, so as not to take precautions, and then took advantage of the moment he went out to kill the killer." ”

Our Lady of Ten Thousand Flowers said angrily: "This kind of student is also worthy of cultivation?"

Tui Ji stood beside the master, feeling very safe, listening to them talk about Zhuo Zangfeng, and listening attentively.

Yueyue was even more responsible, and immediately walked to Li Longji's side, and said, "Your Majesty is generous and merciful, but I have always hated this kind of treacherous and ferocious person, and I don't know what to do with this student's body?"

She said it very cleverly, not begging the emperor to let go of Zhuo Zangfeng's murderous fault, but praised the emperor all the time, and naturally attributed the fault to Liu Haiquan's own fault, and especially explained that His Majesty the emperor hated the villain's behavior the most.

Li Longji really didn't ask about this matter anymore, waved his hand and said, "Drag Liu Haiquan's body to the Ten Thousand Beasts Garden as punishment!"

The Garden of Ten Thousand Beasts is the place where fierce beasts are placed in the palace, and needless to say, Liu Haiquan can't even save his body after his death.

Zhuo Zangfeng stood in the sun, he looked at Yueyue, knowing that this princess was distinguishing for herself, but there was an indescribable sourness in his heart.

There is no joy after victory, and the sinister human heart, if it is not for early precautions, it may not be able to get out of the secret realm alive today.

The waiter of the Ministry of Rites counted the number of people, and except for Liu Haiquan, who was killed, there were only a few injured students.

The red boy had a deep sword mark on his shoulder, and his hair was scattered, obviously after a hard fight.

The most surprising thing is that Zhang Jinxuan actually defeated Bu Shixian, a disciple of the Bu family, thus becoming the ninth student to come out of the secret realm.

Bu Shixian had a look of disappointment on his face, his eyes were dim, and his clothes were torn by the blade of the sword in many places.

The old man of the Bu family saw his son covered with sword marks on the high platform, and his brows jumped in distress.

So the students involved in the duel stood in one place, waiting for the Ministry of Rites officials to announce their rankings.

The top 10 students can stay, and the last 20 students receive the bounty and retire according to the requirements, and it is entirely up to them to decide whether they will continue to practice or return to their hometowns in the future.

In a sense, the top 30 students can be regarded as passing the Longmen test.

It's just that His Majesty the Emperor values the top three most, and these top three have to decide the winner among these ten people.

This is the key to leaping the dragon.

Cui Shuji, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, read out the ranking:

The first place is Tuiji, the second is Far Frontier, the third is Wei Moran, the fourth is Guo Zaihua, the fifth is Mu An, the sixth is Chen Quandao, the seventh is Huo Bijin, the eighth is Liu Chu, the ninth is Zhang Jinxuan, and the tenth is Zhuo Zangfeng.

Among them, Tuiji, Bian Yuanjiang, Wei Moran, Zhang Jinxuan, and Zhuo Zangfeng are all from Tai Academy.

Mu An and Liu Chu are from the National Normal Academy, Huo Bijin, and Chen Quandao are from the Heavenly Teachers Academy.

Zhuo Zangfeng looked at Huo Bijin standing beside him, and found that he looked familiar, and thought for a long time, this is the guy who wanted to spend a thousand taels of silver to buy his own horse when he signed up for the Heavenly Master Academy.

Huo Bijin even knew him, smiled slightly, and said hello.

Before the competition, they were all serious, and after the competition, they were relieved, although they will continue tomorrow, but it does not hinder this temporary enthusiasm.

Zhuo Zangfeng swept the stage back and forth several times, but did not find the figure of Princess Yuqing, nor did he see Bu Shishu.

One, two, three, four, Wu Delu's face was full of joy, and he counted for a long time, smiling at the students from Tai Academy.

The student's results were good, his face was radiant, and the sun shone on his gray beard, although it was sparse, the black sacrificial wine was still sloppy.

Li Longji was proud, and got up to look at the students standing at the bottom of the steps.

"You are all the pride of the younger generation in the cultivation world, the pride of the heavens, and the pride of me. ”

"Gather to your heart's content tonight, I have ordered the division to open the market, and it will not be closed all night.

"You are the hope of the Tang Dynasty, and you should ride horses and watch flowers like the champions, and be admired by the people of Chang'an. I also take an auspicious event that the whole world enjoys. ”

"But tomorrow there will be a competition, and the top three will be separated, so the feast will stop in moderation......"

Under the leadership of the officials of the Ministry of Rites, ten students walked out of the palace, and then according to the previous arrangement, they were on a tall horse, each with a big red flower on their chests, gongs and drums in front of them, and the guards of the Imperial Forest Army in the back, marching in Chang'an City in a majestic manner.

Tui Ji walked in the front with his bald head, Zhuo Zangfeng walked in silence at the end, this time the alley was empty, and everywhere he went, he could cause bursts of cheers and gain countless envious eyes.

Mo Ya saw Zhuo Zangfeng in the crowd and waved to him happily, but there were too many people, and the cheers came and went, where could she squeeze in front of her.

Xian'er looked at the passengers on the ten tall horses, and saw that the last one was Zhuo Zangfeng, a smile bloomed on her jade-like cheeks, and she thought to herself: "It's incredible! He actually entered the top ten!"

Then he sighed, "What if you make it to the top ten? Maybe tomorrow you won't be able to finish at the top of the list." ”

Niu Fandie was pushing away a few idlers, completely ignoring their surprised eyes, looking at Zhuo Zangfeng for a long time, thinking, don't be complacent, this matter is not over, I have to kill you!

............

After late at night, Zhuo Zangfeng returned to Yaoshan with Tuiji, they refused many banquets, and did not go to the bustling and lively places to drink and have fun, because tomorrow's exam was extremely critical, and the two of them didn't want to lose a big deal because of a small one.

The top 10 in the Longmen test have unlimited scenery and unlimited natural future.

At the end of the list on this day, many celebrities and gentry, and even high-ranking officials and eunuchs will invite students, which will become a good thing, which can not only have a relationship with these children, but also propose to them by the way, to put it bluntly, it is to fancy that these students will soar in the future.

Zhuo Zangfeng was a little puzzled, since he took this first, his expression was always a little wrong, and he could avoid himself.

Some words were naturally uncomfortable in my heart, and I finally mustered up the courage to stand in front of him, like a child who had done something wrong.

"Son-in-law of the General's Mansion, I have something to hide from you. ”

Zhuo Zangfeng didn't look at him, and said casually: "You say." ”

Tuiji looked around, as if he was very frightened, and said, "When I came out of the palace and rode on horseback, I felt a pair of eyes staring at me. ”

Zhuo Zangfeng laughed and said: "It's not a pair of eyes, it's tens of millions of pairs, countless pairs of eyes." ”

Tui Ji waved his hand, "You don't know, I said you are not allowed to scold me." ”

"Don't scold. Zhuo Zangfeng took a glass of wine and said lightly.

Tui Ji cleared his throat and said with some hesitation: "I sold you." (To be continued.) )
