Chapter XVIII

A few more days passed.

And Li Xuebin was also found by the people of the government, and he was intact when he reappeared.

However, when the government asked Li Xuebin about related questions, he did not get any useful information from Li Xuebin.

According to Li Xuebin, he was knocked unconscious at the beginning, and when he was conscious again, he was discovered by the authorities, and he didn't know what happened at all.

However, no matter how turbulent the capital has been in the past few days, the time has quickly come to the day of the palace test.

Most people's eyes also turned away from the previous case and turned to the triennial event of the temple examination.

……

Early in the morning, after Chen Yu had breakfast, he received a notice that he was going to the palace to participate in the palace examination.

After pacifying the little white fox and letting it stay at home, Chen Yu followed the two guards on the way to the palace.

During this period, the guards kept telling Chen Yu about everything after entering the palace and what the procedures of the palace examination were.

……

Outside the south gate of the Daliang Palace, Chen Yu looked at this somewhat magnificent palace, but he was not too surprised, after all, Chen Yu could be regarded as having seen the prosperity of the modern big city in the later generations.

Outside the south gate was a group of Praetorian Guards in full armor, and Chen Yu felt an inexplicable pressure when he saw them.

Chen Yu felt that with his current strength, if he didn't use weapons, it was very likely that he would not be able to defeat this team of twelve Praetorian Guards.

And this is just the guard guarding one of the gates of the palace on the surface, and the power hidden in the dark will only be ten times stronger and a hundred times stronger.

Even the masters who have reached the innate realm are not nothing.

At the very least, Chen Yu could vaguely feel a vague breath, and the creepy sense of crisis told Chen Yu that this was at least a master of the innate realm.

He firmly locked on everyone near the south gate of the palace, and as long as anyone made the slightest move, he would receive a thunderous blow, enough to kill anyone who did not reach the innate realm.

This made Chen Yu feel a little relaxed and a little nervous, although he could leave this world at any time, but it also needed time to react.

Chen Yu also didn't know if his system would do anything after he was fatally attacked.

Therefore, even though he knew that it was impossible for the other party to attack him, Chen Yu still didn't dare to be careless at all, and secretly improved his attention.

And the innate realm hidden in the dark was also stunned after noticing Chen Yu.

How come there is still strength in this batch of tributes to reach the acquired realm, and it is still in the middle of the day after tomorrow.

However, after glancing at Chen Yu, he no longer paid attention, his purpose was only to guard the safety of the palace.

As long as Chen Yu didn't show an overreaction, he wouldn't care too much.

Besides, although the strength is good, it is only in the acquired realm after all, and it is not worth paying too much attention.

……

After verifying his identity, Chen Yu and a tribute who came to the south gate of the palace at about the same time as him, led by another guard, walked into the palace.

All the way pavilions and buildings, rockeries and flowing water, carved beams and painted walls, resplendent gold, not luxurious.

Moreover, every design in the palace can be said to be the ingenuity of a master-level figure.

Even if Chen Yu looked at it, he felt pleasing to the eye.

The tribute who was with Chen Yu, after seeing the scene in the palace for the first time, couldn't hide the amazement in his eyes, and even Chen Yu suspected that if it wasn't for the wrong timing, this person might not be able to help but write a poem.

……

Imperial Palace, inside the Taihe Palace.

Unlike other palaces in the Imperial Palace, the Taihe Hall is specially used to hold palace examinations.

Inside, there are nearly two hundred scattered tables, each with a person's name on it.

When Chen Yu and the others came in, there were already more than 20 people, and those who also passed the examination to become tributes were waiting.

At a glance, Chen Yu even found an acquaintance.

It was Li Xuebin who caused an uproar during this time.

After seeing Chen Yu and the two, two eunuchs greeted them, and after asking their names, they took the two of them to sit down in their seats.

For a period of time, the atmosphere was quiet, no one spoke, and of course more people did not dare to speak.

Another quarter of an hour or so passed, and there were already more than a hundred of the arriving tributes, and only a few were still on the way.

……

The apse of the Taihe Palace.

Emperor Daliang didn't know when he had already walked in, sitting on a dragon chair, looking at the various tributes in the front hall through a one-way transparent screen, and it would also be the Jinshi in the near future.

Interested, the emperor said to the left and right, "You say, there are a few of them that can support my beams. ”

The two eunuchs on the left and right flattered, "These sons are naturally my Liang's talents." ”

The emperor shook his head a little boringly, looked at the prince next to him and said, "Companion, what do you say?" ”

"If you want the old slave to say, there are only three of these people here who can watch."

After finishing speaking, the prince pointed to three people on the screen.

The emperor smiled, "I know that Du Qingjun, the grandson of Prime Minister Du Cheng, and I have seen him a few times, and I have also heard of his name, and one of the other two should be the Chen Yu you said two days ago." ”

"Your Majesty." After finishing speaking, Wang Gonggong clicked on Chen Yu's position again, "That is Chen Gongzi." ”

The emperor looked over, "It's a talent, if you take the top spot by your appearance, you don't need to compare." ”

"Your Majesty laughed."

Wang Gonggong smiled and said, "In addition to his outstanding knowledge and third place in the examination, this Chen Gongzi's martial arts strength is also quite good. ”

"And the breath on this Chen Gongzi's body should be practiced innate skills, and the way he came from is also innocent, it is half a volume that the old slave put in the library of the capital on a whim."

"And this old slave of Chen Gongzi's family background has also been investigated, his family background is clean, and there are no big flaws in his personality."

"It's really good."

The emperor nodded, although he doesn't practice martial arts, and now the strength of the peak of the day after tomorrow is completely infused through the elixir of the palace, but this does not mean that he doesn't know what the strength of this age is about to reach the late stage of the day after tomorrow, this is the posture of a grandmaster, at least he can reach the innate realm.

The emperor looked at the prince and smiled, "Why, I heard you praise this Chen Yu so much, do you want to send people to Dongchang?" ”

"Your Majesty laughed again, even if I wanted to, Chen Gongzi would not be willing to not, the old slave just recommended Chen Gongzi to Your Majesty."

The emperor thought for a moment, "How do you think Chen Yu should be arranged?" ”

"In the opinion of the old slave, whether to develop in martial arts or in the direction of knowledge, let Chen Gongzi choose for himself?"

The Emperor nodded, thinking in his heart, but did not answer.

Seeing this, Wang Gonggong pointed to the last person with interest, "This person's name is Liu Aiting, although the test results are only average, and he is a little older, but after he was promoted, he was recommended to be the magistrate of a county, which can be described as hard work." ”

"Your Majesty can consider the palace examination, and then send him to the local area to experience a few years before recalling him back to the capital, which can be described as a good hand at doing practical things."
