Chapter 34: He Shangshu

Out of respect for Tang Tongtong's elders, Xiao Yun also stood up.

But he didn't speak, and watched quietly like an outsider.

At this time, He Shangshu immediately saw Xiao Yunhe and Lei Ziming, who was flushed with alcohol, his eyes swept over the faces of the two of them, and asked Tang Tongtong: "This is"

Unexpectedly, before Tang Tongtong could speak, Lei Ziming squinted at He Shangshu and scolded: "Where did the old thing come from? Get out of the way! Don't disturb Lao Tzu's good things!"

Before he finished speaking, the tiger-backed guard behind He Shangshu turned dark, stepped forward, grabbed Lei Ziming by the collar, and a killing momentum filled the entire floor.

At this time, the entire second floor fell silent, and all the tea guests looked this way.

Suddenly felt a huge force coming, his toes rose off the ground uncontrollably, Lei Ziming's original drunkenness was like an autumn wind sweeping away the leaves, and he suddenly sobered up, and he immediately clearly felt the alcohol power emanating from the body of the tiger-backed guard in front of him.

Unfathomable! At least in the realm of winemakers!

"Who are you?" After coming to his senses, Lei Ziming's face turned pale, and he understood that he had probably offended people who could not be provoked, and asked Nene.

The guard's face was cold, he didn't pay attention, turned his head to He Shangshu and asked, "My lord, what should I do?"

He Shangshu's face was gloomy, and he said, "Let him go first." ”

"Yes. ”

The guard's hand on the back of the tiger immediately loosened, and Lei Ziming landed on his feet.

Thinking of the scene just now when the alcohol in his body was completely suppressed and he could only be slaughtered motionless, Lei Ziming's face became even paler, and the wine he drank turned into cold sweat oozing from his forehead, he raised his hand to wipe his forehead, and said with a smile: "Reckless, please"

He Shangshu ignored it, glanced at Lei Ziming, and asked coldly, "Are you a candidate who came to participate in the enrollment of Tianluo Academy?"

"Yes, yes. Lei Ziming faintly felt that he had caused a big disaster this time, and said respectfully.

"What's your name?" He Shangshu continued.

Hearing He Shangshu ask, Lei Ziming felt even worse, but under the cold gaze of the guard, he didn't dare not answer, and stammered: "Lei Ziming is from Wuzhou." ”

"Lei Ziming. He Shangshu repeated, and then said, "Tianluo Academy cultivates talents for the country, focusing on nature first, and wine second. No matter what kind of cultivation you are, but you are rude and deceitful, arrogant and domineering, Tianluo Academy does not need students like you. You don't have to go to the admissions the day after tomorrow, and from now on, you will be deprived of your qualifications. ”

Lei Ziming's face turned pale, he looked at He Shangshu in a daze, and hissed unwillingly: "Who are you? Why do you deprive me of my assessment qualifications?!"

The guard on the side shouted: "This is the chief examiner of Tianluo Academy's enrollment this time, Lord He!"

Like five thunderbolts, Lei Ziming was shocked all over, his eyes first glanced at the guard, and then looked at He Shangshu with a cold face in a daze, and then suddenly collapsed to the ground like a puddle of mud.

He never expected that this unsurprising old man would be the chief examiner of this admission!

I never dreamed that I would insult him to his face!

Lei Ziming's eyes were dull, he didn't know what he was muttering, and his remorse was so great that he couldn't describe his current mood.

Seeing that Lei Ziming couldn't stand up like a pile of mud, He Shangshu frowned and said, "Get him out." ”

"Yes. The guard didn't say a word, pinched Lei Ziming's neck, lifted him up again, and with a wave of his hand, Lei Ziming's more than 100 catties flew out of the window like a kite.

There was an exclamation downstairs, followed by the sound of a "plop" of a heavy object falling to the ground.

The three house slaves on the tea table diagonally opposite were stunned for a long time, and only then did they react and hurriedly ran downstairs.

At this time, there was a dead silence on the entire second floor, and everyone's eyes looked at He Shangshu in awe, being able to see the chief examiner of Tianluo Academy with their own eyes was not an ordinary thing to encounter, for these tea guests, today's insight was simply the best thing to talk about.

As for Lei Ziming's experience, no one sympathized with him, he died by himself, no wonder others.

He Shangshu turned to look at everyone and said with a smile: "Please forgive me for disturbing everyone, please continue." ”

Seeing this, everyone didn't know that He Shangshu had something to say to the two teenagers at the tea table, so they all turned their heads busily, although the immediately buzzing discussion sounded immediately, but compared to just now, there was no doubt that the voice was much quieter.

"This is" He Shangshu turned around and looked at Xiao Yun.

Tang Tongtong didn't expect to meet He Shangshu so coincidentally here, secretly thinking in his heart, and said with a smile: "His name is Xiao Yun, and he is my life-saving benefactor." ”

"Oh?" He Shangshu glanced at Xiao Yun in surprise, and asked Tang Tongtong again, "Isn't it the time a few days ago when you and Tang Hao were in distress in the Junzhu Mountain Range?"

"Exactly. Tang Tongtong glanced at Xiao Yun and replied.

He Shangshu glanced at Xiao Yun seriously, with a hint of surprise in his expression, as if he didn't believe that Xiao Yun could save Tang Tongtong, but he didn't say anything and nodded.

The three of them immediately sat down, but the tiger-backed guard did not sit down, standing behind He Shangshu without leaving an inch.

At this time, Xiao Yun was also a little strange in his heart, from seeing He Shangshu to now, he had never sensed any trace of alcohol power from He Shangshu, which made Xiao Yun suspicious in his heart: "Could it be that this He Shangshu is just an ordinary person, not a drinker?"

In this world where wine is respected, even if it is a civilian minister in the court, the wine is extremely high, not to mention that He Shangshu used to be in charge of the military department, which is really a very strange thing.

However, Xiao Yun thought again: "Isn't it that he has cultivated some special exercises to hide the power of alcohol that he exudes?"

Thinking like this, Xiao Yun couldn't help but suddenly become enlightened, and the trace of doubt in his expression dissipated.

Tang Tongtong diligently poured a cup of tea for He Shangshu, and said at the same time: "Uncle He, there is something I want to ask you, do you agree?"

Hearing this, Xiao Yun's brows immediately furrowed.

Of course, he immediately knew that Tang Tongtong couldn't wait to open his mouth to intercede for himself, but it was not easy to stop him in person, so he was silent.

He Shangshu laughed and said: "I haven't said anything yet, just let me agree, so how can it be done? What do you say first?"

As he spoke, he picked up his teacup, blew on the hot air, and took a sip.

Tang Tongtong glanced at Xiao Yun and smiled at He Shangshu: "Uncle He has become the chief examiner of Tianluo Academy's admissions this time, let me go through the back door?"

"Go through the back door, do you want to enter Tianluo Academy?" He Shangshu said with a smile, "I'm afraid your father won't agree, right? Cultivating in Tianluo Academy, where can it compare to cultivating in your family? The cultivation resources of the entire family are up to you." ”

As he spoke, He Shangshu raised his eyes and glanced at Xiao Yun intentionally or unintentionally.

Xiao Yun was still silent, but his heart was like a mirror.

This He Shangshu obviously noticed Tang Tongtong's eyes when he looked at him, and he also understood that Tang Tongtong mostly wanted to go through the back door for himself, but he pretended not to know.

This is an old fox!

"Not for me to go through the back door. Sure enough, Tang Tongtong immediately corrected, pointed at Xiao Yun, and said, "It's for him." ”

"Oh?" He Shangshu really glanced at Xiao Yun at this time, but he didn't speak to Xiao Yun, but asked Tang Tongtong, "He also wants to participate in the admissions assessment?"

The bystander is clear, Xiao Yun has seen it at this time, looking at this He Shangshu's cold attitude, I don't know if he is out of the view of the portal, or if he minds Xiao Yun's cultivation, obviously he doesn't want to go through this back door for Xiao Yun at all.

However, Xiao Yun didn't have any discoloration on his face, and he didn't want to go through this back door, so he tasted tea leisurely at the moment without saying a word.

Tang Tongtong didn't see it, she hurriedly said: "Yes." Uncle He, don't look at his Gang Jiu Liquor Qi Nine Rank, but his talent is very good, because he is not a child of a family, and he does not have enough supply of war wine when he cultivates, and he has only come to this point by talent. If he was a child of a family, I am afraid that he would have reached the drunkard realm for more than five stages. ”

Xiao Yun couldn't laugh when he heard it, Tang Tongtong was talking nonsense, when did he say that he didn't have enough war wine.

Hearing that Xiao Yun was not even an ordinary child of a family, He Shangshu's face moved slightly, but then he returned to his original state.

Tang Tongtong continued to blow round: "When he was fighting with the drunken corpse in Junzhushan, he was hit by the drunken corpse, with the strength of the drunken corpse, even if I was hit, I would be killed immediately, but he was unharmed, and incredibly, the drunken corpse was also shocked by him and flew into the air." Think about it, if it weren't for his extreme resistance to drunkenness, how could he have done this?"

Listening to what Tang Tongtong said was getting more and more outrageous, Xiao Yun said secretly: "Don't say it again, who can believe these words?"

Sure enough, although He Shangshu did not interrupt Tang Tongtong's words, he seemed to have a smile on his face, obviously not believing a word of Tang Tongtong's words.

Finally, after Tang Tongtong finally stopped, He Shangshu said lightly: "Since he has such great potential, he might as well participate in the admissions assessment, I believe that with his potential, it will not be a problem to pass the second type of assessment." ”

Tang Tongtong was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "Isn't that too troublesome, Uncle He, why don't you let him enter Tianluo Academy directly, okay?"

He Shangshu put down the teacup, looked at Tang Tongtong with pity, and said, "Tongtong, this time I was entrusted by several old friends to serve as the chief examiner of this admission. Now that the assessment has not even started, I will open the back door for people to pass, what will they think of me? Besides, it is also unfair to other candidates. ”

This is a clear refusal.

Tang Tongtong was speechless, and her pretty face turned red.

He Shangshu looked at Xiao Yun and said lightly, "You are not even seventeen years old this year?"

Xiao Yun spoke for the first time and nodded, "Yes." ”

"With your cultivation, I'm afraid it will be difficult to pass the assessment. He Shangshu said lightly, "However, the rules of Tianluo Academy's admissions, I think you should know, as long as you are less than twenty years old, you can participate in the assessment if you cultivate to reach the alcoholic realm." You're not yet seventeen, and even if you can't pass it this year, you'll have the next chance in three years. ”

He Shangshu looked at Xiao Yun and didn't continue, but his meaning was already very clear.

No matter what your relationship with Tang Tongtong is, but it is impossible to go through the back door, if you can't do it this year, then come back in three years.

"I understand it below. Xiao Yun said lightly, there was no difference on his face.

As he spoke, Xiao Yun turned his head to look at Tang Tongtong, who looked helpless, his eyes were very gentle.

Although Tang Tongtong pleaded with He Shangshu to let him go through the back door, this was not his original intention, and he was unsuccessful, but Xiao Yun was still very grateful for this kindness.

Then Xiao Yun stood up and bowed his hand to He Shangshu: "There is still something to do, so I will leave." ”

He Shangshu didn't seem to expect Xiao Yun to be so tough, he was slightly stunned, nodded slightly, and showed a hint of appreciation in his eyes for the first time.

Xiao Yun looked at Tang Tongtong again, said goodbye to her with his eyes, and then turned around and walked out to the staircase.

"Alas, the heart is good, but the cultivation is too low. Listening to Xiao Yun's footsteps disappearing on the stairs, He Shangshu suddenly sighed, "It's a pity." ”
