Chapter 133: Court Calculations
His gaze swept lightly over the queen's red seat, and Moss changed his elegant style, and there was a rare trace of resentment in his eyes, but when he looked at the seating area, a faint smile of implicit meaning quickly appeared on his jade carving-like handsome face.
The Zhongqing in the seating area only had a brief eye contact with Moss, glanced at it hurriedly, and quickly tilted his head seemingly carelessly, and raised his voice: "Shangguan Qingyun, you go, you must get a few important things done before dusk today." ”
"Yes." Shangguan Qingyun saluted and left immediately.
The Zhongqing once again shouted out Shangguan Qingyun's name, attracting the attention of all the colleagues in the audience.
Gu Lin Haobo suddenly stupefied on his seat, he slowly raised his head, and there seemed to be a cloud of doubt in his eyes.
At this moment, Hulan Xuechan's voice with the meaning of controlling the field sounded at the right time: "Do you think that after the Yuan Ding test, what will be Huoxu's rank?" ”
Gu Lin Haoshu's spirit perked up, and the whole person immediately became relaxed, and said with a smile: "After the last competition, Huo Xu completed a breakthrough in the on-site cultivation of the Nangong Youth Fighting Hall, and after more than ten days, there was probably a new breakthrough, so I thought that Huo Xu should have the strength of a sixth-stage Yuanshi right now." ”
Gu Lin Mangyu was interested, and his prediction was even bolder: "No, Your Excellency Deacon is too underestimating Huo Xu, for him, half a month is not a short time, and it is not difficult to complete two or three breakthroughs, so at the moment, Huo Xu is very likely to be an eight-stage Yuanshi!" ”
Facing the queen's flowing eyes, Gu Lin Haobo faintly tasted the taste of being named, and his mind jumped out of his contemplation, and was driven by his subconscious to reply: "Five-stage Yuanshi, it is impossible to be higher. ”
Shui Zhizhi opened his mouth, and suddenly realized that he was not among the Qing family, so he lowered his head and acted as an outsider.
Moss pondered for a moment, and said without being salty or light: "What is Huoxu's strength, Yuan Ding has the most right to speak." ”
Hulan Xuechan chuckled, intermittently chuckling, and the laughter drew the attention of the audience back to their original purpose here.
"Will that young man once again surprise the eyeballs of countless powerhouses today?" People were thinking about it, and they all fixed their eyes on Huo Xu, and their thoughts no longer wandered for a moment.
He had long been accustomed to the focus and scorching of countless fiery eyes, and Huo Xu approached Liu Rusi's ear as if no one was around, and whispered: "Dean Liu, can you issue a letter of recommendation recommending someone to study at the Imperial Academy of Administration?" ”
Liu Rusi stared sideways at Huo Xu and reprimanded: "Want to follow the text and take the scribe route? It's just a brain in water, nonsense! ”
"It's not to recommend me, but to recommend the young clerk who just left, Shangguan Qingyun." Huo Xu said calmly.
There was a trace of doubt in her eyes, Liu Rusi stared at her eyes and hesitated, although she was not familiar with Shangguan Qingyun, she was also pleasing to the eye when she saw this person, but why did Huo Xu fake his hands to others?
"You ask Her Royal Highness the Queen for a letter of recommendation, and it will be effortless." Liu Rusi said lightly.
"This matter is very urgent, Brother Shangguan had better be able to enroll in school today, but now it is inconvenient for me to walk around the queen, and you are different, and it is of great significance for you to do this!" Huo Xu touched his chin and said.
Significant? Liu Rusi looked at the serious face in front of her suspiciously, and said with a slight embarrassment: "Recommended by me, there is a date limit, and the recommended person can only enroll in the school on the statutory opening day, if you want to transfer to the class, you must be personally recommended by His Majesty the Emperor and His Royal Highness the Empress." ”
"So, I need to bother you to go to the red seat to blow the wind, and when I'm done, I'll take you to an interesting place and meet an interesting old man." Huo Xu said a little mysteriously.
Liu Rusi stared at Huo Xu in surprise for a long time, not believing this nonsense at all, but Xu realized that she couldn't refuse the invitation to recommend, she slowly walked to the queen's red seat, and before leaving, she issued a warning to the young man who was chattering without any deterrence:
"Don't play tricks!"
Gray rose appeared in the same place where Liu Rusi had just stayed.
"Hello, beautiful ······" Catching a glimpse of the familiar cold light in the star's eyes, Huo Xu hurriedly changed his words: "Your Excellency has returned from retreat, shouldn't you be a seven-star lord?" ”
Neither admitting nor denying it, Grey Rose brought up the topic of Huoxu: "I heard that you, together with Mu Lu and Tie Chuan, went to the Pomp Plateau, and had a close relationship with the powerhouses of the thirteen tribes in the East China Sea, and also had close contact with the mysterious powerhouse who could wield colorful strong lights, is this really true?" ”
Huo Xu didn't even think about it and said "um".
Gray Rose looked depressed and sighed, "Alas, the whole empire will be thrown into chaos because of this!" ”
Huo Xu smiled heartlessly, and then whispered: "Whether the empire is chaotic or not has its own obvious work, but it is the clerk Shangguan Qingyun who used to do things for Your Excellency, and his situation is quite disturbing, sending him to the Imperial Administration Academy as soon as possible, and disappearing from now on is the most important thing for Your Excellency to worry about." ”
Moving her eyes to look at the direction of Shangguan Qingyun's departure, Gray Rose couldn't help but be stunned, what the secretary of the Ministry of Industry did today was indeed suspicious, however, it was related to the internal affairs of the Prime Minister's Mansion, how could she be qualified to interfere?
"It's absolutely impossible to let him enter the Imperial Administration Academy now!" Grey Rose said in a deep voice.
"Hey, listening to this tone, Her Royal Highness the Queen plans to make an exception for Shangguan Qingyun, but Your Excellency disagrees?" Huo Xu smiled playfully.
"Queen's ······" Grey Rose was taken aback, and subconsciously raised her eyes to look at Hulan Xuechan.
Not far away, Liu Rusi was whispering to the queen, and between a light smile and groaning, the latter quietly handed a piece of paper to the former.
Quickly put away the piece of paper, Liu Rusi raised her hand to Hulan Xuechan to salute, and then retreated.
"What will you do when I go to another county?" Gray rose immediately thought back and asked.
"Don't worry, Dean Liu will take your place and protect my safety." Huo Xu replied.
After a moment's hesitation, Grey Rose asked, "How long can she protect you?" ”
Huo Xu smiled heartlessly again: "Maybe······ It can be as long as it takes. ”
Gray Rose squinted slightly, and the meaning that instantly rose in her eyes didn't know whether she was lonely or relieved, "Okay, don't bother me in the future, I can be out of sight and out of mind!" ”
On the red seat, Hulan Xuechan looked around at the four dignitaries, and said slowly: "Let the children of the Royal Martial Arts Mansion wait for a while, it's time for today's protagonist to appear, otherwise, I'm afraid you won't have the patience to sit here until noon." ”
Hearing this, Gu Lin Haoshu didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly gestured towards the test bench.
The male teacher who presided over the winter test process waved his hand to signal the five teams of Yuan Shao to stop moving forward, and after the five people who were tested in the previous batch fell off the stage, he said loudly: "The winter test is suspended, please take the stage of the Imperial Youth Huo Xu and complete the second make-up test." ”
Yuan Shao and the spectators in the audience turned around and turned their heads, and their eyes focused on Huo Xu's body under the eaves.
"Let's go, take care." Greeting Grey Rose, Huo Xu walked straight to the test bench, and when he staggered with Liu Rusi on the way, he stopped and whispered, "Please ask Dean Liu to give the letter of recommendation to Counselor Rose." ”
Staring at Huo Xu, who was full of energy, Gu Lin Haobo was quite unhappy in his heart, and couldn't help but repeat the old words: "Lord Deacon just said that after the last battle with the Beihai people, Huo Xu has completed a breakthrough in on-the-spot cultivation and has been promoted to a fifth-stage Yuanshi, in my opinion, this matter may not be true."
Young people, it is inevitable that they will be arrogant, and they will float away after being in the limelight a few times, and the cowhide will blow up to the sky, or others will add oil and vinegar, and blow out a five-section Yuanshi who has just turned sixteen years old, hum, it can't be true! ”
Squinting at Gu Lin Haobo, Gu Lin Haoshu said to himself: "Could it be that as Lord Zongzheng said, Huo Xu has become an eight-stage Yuanshi, right?" ”
Hulan Xuechan sat in her seat and smiled silently.
Many strong people in the seating area heard the different views of Lord Zhengqing and Lord Deacon, and they couldn't tell who was right and who was wrong for a while, but they each had a rod and scale in their hearts, if Huo Xu was still a fourth-stage Yuanshi, it would be normal, but everyone would feel a little disappointed.
If Huo Xu had been promoted to the eighth stage of the Yuanshi, I am afraid that this news would once again shock everyone's attention.
The eighteen-stage Yuanshi who had just turned sixteen years old was a cultivation miracle that all the powerhouses in the world couldn't even think of when they were the same age!
Interestingly, the deacons openly contradicted the first generation of Zhengqing, and once it was confirmed afterwards that the former's evaluation was overestimated, or the latter's rhetoric was obviously underestimated, someone would always be slapped in the face, and then an intriguing scene would be born.
And Her Royal Highness the Queen's attitude is even more mysterious!
As a result, the strong people in the audience held the mentality of not being too high to watch the play, and waited for a good show to get better.
The more than 1,000 yuan of the Royal Martial Arts Mansion were not as scheming as the adults, and they all put away the arrogance of the Miyagi boy, and with almost admiring eyes, they collectively watched Huo Xu take the stage.
Standing still in front of Yuan Ding, Huo Xu slowly raised his hand.
He didn't want to show anything, and he didn't have any expectations in his heart, just to fulfill the contract, in order to attract the attention of some people as he wished and the queen wanted, and passively performed here in public.
A little lazily waving his hand to hold down the jade plate, he cast his clear, deep gaze to the blue sky above his head.
The light spots on Ding's body flickered, and he rushed up quickly, attracting the attention of countless people, and also changing the exaggerated expressions on people's faces like a magician's magic weapon.
When the light point freezes, the audience is dead silent, so quiet that you can hear the dead leaves falling to the ground.
"Ah, two-star primordial master!" Shui Zhizhi was the first to recover from her stunnedness, and let out a soft cry of surprise, if it weren't for etiquette, she would fly away from her seat next to Empress Xihe's red seat.
Gu Lin Haobo stayed in his seat, and the annoyance and shame after being slapped in the face in public, mixed with a trace of horror that could not be dissipated, together painted an extremely ugly face.
The strong people in the seating area are like being frozen collectively, with stiff bodies, almost solidified human heads, and a pair of shiny and bulging eyeballs, forming a vivid group portrait, in which the characters seem to be silently listening to a thrilling magical story, and their thoughts are deeply immersed in the wonderful storyline and cannot extricate themselves for a long time.
"Wow!" The square resounded with applause like a shower of more than 1,000 yuan.
Gu Lin Haoshu was ecstatic, "Quick, bring the golden book, let Huoxu leave his name!" ”
When the spectators came back to their senses one after another and the scene began to commotion, Hulan Xuechan bowed her head towards the Zhizhi of the water, and then got up gracefully, with a touch of deep meaning in her eyes, and quietly left like the wind.
