After the palace exam, the top three rankings came out soon.

As for the ranking, although the three of them knew it in their hearts, they each had their own considerations about what happened in the palace just now.

After walking out of the main hall, Hua Yuerong smiled and arched his hand at Lu Ran and Xiong Lie: "Congratulations to Brother Lu for winning the championship, the champion of high school, congratulations to Brother Xiong for exploring flowers in high school." ”

Xiong Lie smiled slightly, and arched his hand: "Congratulations to Brother Hua on the high school list." ”

Lu Ran's eyes flashed, and he also arched his hand towards Hua Yuerong and said, "Tongxi, congratulations to Brother Hua on the high school list." ”

Hua Yuerong smiled and waved his hand: "It's just thanks to the shadow of the ancestors, good luck, I just read for a few more years, compared to Brother Lu's ambitions, it's not worth mentioning." However, today is considered to be a lost gamble, and later the three of us brothers will go to Xiangmanlou to have a good meal and drink some wine to celebrate. ”

It stands to reason that after the scientific examination, the emperor will hold a banquet in the palace to encourage the top three, commonly known as buying people's hearts.

But today, the emperor is busy with important matters, so he will set up the banquet until tomorrow.

It just so happened that the three of them could go to Xiangmanlou to have a good celebration first.

As soon as Lu Ran wanted to give up his hand, Ji Po trotted over, arched his hand towards the three of them with a smile, and then looked at Lu Ran with his eyes, smiled and said, "Zhuangyuanlang, the emperor is invited, please come with our family!" ”

Hua Yuerong and Xiong Lie's expressions instantly became very subtle.

Lu Ran pursed his lips, turned around and arched his hand towards Ji Bao, then turned his head to Hua Yuerong and said, "Brother Hua, I'm sorry, the emperor summoned me, I have to go to see the emperor first." ”

"It's okay, Brother Lu go quickly, don't make the emperor wait for a long time."

Hua Yuerong smiled slightly, waved his hand and said, "Let's not be in a hurry, let's wait for Brother Lu to leave the palace with Brother Xiong." ”

"Thank you, Brother Hua."

Lu Ran arched his hand, then looked at Ji Po, and naturally made a gesture of please, and whispered, "Please lead the way." ”

"Champion Lang, please."

Ji Po smiled and turned around and took Lu Ran to the imperial study.

Xiao Yuhuan and Mo Rufeng were already waiting here.

As soon as Lu Ran stepped into the imperial study, and was about to uncover his robe and kneel to salute, Xiao Yuhuan smiled and waved his hand: "Zhuangyuanlang doesn't need to be polite, come forward and sit!" I summoned you today because the Master has something to say to you. ”

Lu Ran arched his hand, and after saluting slightly, he didn't really step forward and sit down, but respectfully turned to Mo Rufeng and said, "Junior, please ask Master Taifu to teach." ”

Mo Rufeng waved his hand, and asked in a low voice with a complicated expression: "Your name is Lu Ran, and the old man asks you, Lu Yongchu is your father?" ”

Lu Ran's body stiffened when I asked, and after a while, he nodded lightly and responded: "That's right, Master Taifu knows my father?" ”

Mo Rufeng's expression became more and more complicated, he nodded, and said with a solemn face: "The old man does know your father, and I just saw that you are very similar to your father, so I guessed it, so I called you to ask, but I don't know if your father is okay now?" ”

Lu Ran was silent for a long time, frowned slightly, and said respectfully and softly: "Mrs. Yu, my father died of illness ten years ago. ”

"Sick?"

Mo Rufeng's face changed suddenly, his eyes widened, and after taking a deep breath, he blinked, suppressed the shock and sadness in his heart, and asked in a slightly hoarse voice: "What kind of illness did your father have, and how did he die?" He has been in good health since he was a child, and his martial arts are not weak......"

The sudden death of a healthy person is unacceptable.
