Chapter 365: Wooed
The guards of the forbidden army have been supervising Qin Mo to complete the gambling contract, and then they dispersed, and without even saying a word, they left neatly, and Qin Mo stood alone with gongs and drums, his face full of hatred.
At this time, he was surrounded by a group of gossiping people, some of whom even followed Qin Mo all the way.
Since the opening of the imperial examination, many students have poured into the capital, and the ordinary people of the capital usually hate these literate students the most, they always look like they are above the top, look down on this, look down on that, always think that they can be big officials, obviously they are all from a small place outside the capital, and after entering the capital, they feel superior, which is really disgusting.
Now seeing them humiliated by this, they are naturally happy to see it, and some even watch the excitement while sipping melon seeds and pointing at it.
As for those students, it is estimated that they all stayed by Yunxing's side and rushed to slap him.
Liu Zhongqing had been paying attention to the movements of these students earlier, so when Qin Mo began to call along the street, he knew about it, but he didn't investigate it carefully, he just thought it was a bet between two ordinary students.
Now, the students he recruited in advance have all been defeated, and now he can only deliberately win over the names on the gold list, although Qin Mo's ranking is not high, but he is the group of people who are most likely to be co-opted, especially when he has hatred in his heart and desperately wants to climb up, it is also the most vulnerable.
When he came, the guards of the forbidden army had already left, and he called the Shangfu soldiers to disperse the onlookers and slowly walked in front of Qin Mo.
"Little brother is young and ambitious to bet with others, but after all, the point is so important, and betting with you that person is too unforgiving, and he has to force you to such a level of humiliation, hasn't he thought about it, if you are promoted one day, you can trample him under your feet, what will he do at this time."
Qin Mo didn't expect Liu Zhongqing to come over suddenly, and even more said what he was thinking.
"Lord Liu is right, thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, don't bully the young and poor, I will get all today's humiliation back."
Liu Zhongqing's eyes lit up, stepped forward, and patted him on the shoulder.
"Sure enough, it is an aspiring young man, why wait until his day, tonight Kui Xing Lou set up a Kui Xing Banquet, and bet with you that person will definitely pass, you go with me tonight, I can help you get justice today."
Qin Mo looked up at Liu Zhongqing in a daze, he had already left the hook, and there was also a bait on it, he knew that it was a trap, it just depended on whether he was willing to bite the hook.
Qin Mo gritted his teeth, in order to win the attention of the prince, he even did not hesitate to destroy the rules of the imperial examination on the question paper, and wrote down the content that he was willing to go to the soup for the prince, but judging from the results, the prince did not take himself to heart, but also named Yunxing as the first place, but he was afraid that the prince's road would not work at all.
Lord Liu showed favor one after another, and the conditions he proposed were indeed difficult for people to refuse, even if it was the first place, he still had to grovel in front of Lord Liu, if Lord Liu was really willing to help him, he could really find it in front of many students at the Kui Xing Banquet.
"Does Lord Liu know who the person who bet with me is?"
Liu Zhongqing smiled.
"No matter who it is, I don't look at it, now you are my favorite descendant, whoever dares to embarrass you, I will let him not eat and walk around."
Qin Mo's heart moved, and he couldn't help but nodded.
If you really wait for the prince to give him an official, I don't know what kind of petty official I want to give him, it is better to take some shortcuts.
If he becomes Lord Liu's person, with the escort of the Liu family and the queen, he will definitely be able to rise all the way, and then wait and see which one is better, the Liu family or the prince, and when he is promoted to a certain official position, even if he defects, he will have more right to speak.
Although he agreed to stand on Liu Zhongqing's side on the surface, he still disdained it in his heart, he only regarded the Liu family and the queen as a ladder for him to climb up, and whoever could become the real master of the Wu Dynasty in the future would be truly obedient to whom.
After getting Liu Zhongqing's promise, Qin Mo was finally a little relieved, when he returned to the inn, the students who went to Lian Mansion with him also came back, and they were still discussing Yunxing in their mouths, feeling that this person was unfathomable, and he was extremely self-contained, and he would definitely become a big man in the future, and they had to associate with him.
Hearing this, Qin Mo just couldn't help but snort coldly in his heart.
No matter how capable he is, as long as Lord Liu makes a move, he will definitely be able to block the road to Yunxing!
He wanted to quietly return to his guest room, but at this moment, a student noticed him and stood up and joked.
"Brother, I'm back so soon, I thought it would take a long time to walk around the street three times, why didn't Brother Qin speak? Didn't you shout too loudly and make your voice hoarse? ”
After saying this, a group of people burst out laughing, and some came up to ask what happened for unknown reasons, and several students began to paint their voices again, talking about Qin Mo's gambling loss, and then there was laughter again.
Qin Mo felt that the people in the entire inn had turned into ducks, and they had been laughing in their ears, the sound was very annoying, and he couldn't help but secretly think that if they waited for tonight, they saw Lord Liu behind them, as a backer, and they didn't know if they would still be able to laugh.
"People like you, you only know how to stammer, and then you insult and ridicule your classmates, I remember you, sooner or later you will regret what you did today."
Yang Wenxuan took the initiative to stand up and coaxed.
"We're so scared, look at what Brother Qin said, he has so much confidence, didn't he go out to beat gongs and drums, but opened the second line of Rendu, or did he tie up with a noble girl and have a backer?"
What he said was right, Qin Mo did have a backer now, and he smiled coldly.
"I heard that you are going to Kui Xing Tower tonight to participate in the Kui Xing Banquet, and Yun Xing is also going over, right?"
Several students looked at each other, not knowing why.
Qin Mo's face was grim, and he suddenly raised his chin slightly, and said loudly.
"That's great, I'm going to Kui Xing Tower tonight to attend the Kui Xing Banquet, I have to have a good meeting with Yunxing."
After speaking, he returned to his room, leaving the hall full of students puzzled.
It stands to reason that Qin Mo has been so humiliated today, and he will naturally want to be a man with his tail between his legs in the future, and he must avoid Yun Xing everywhere, but listening to the meaning of his words, he still wants to participate in tonight's Kui Xing Banquet, and Yun Xing will also go, isn't he afraid of losing face?
A few students who are not afraid of things began to coax secretly, it seems that there will be excitement to watch tonight, no matter whether Qin Mo is suddenly stimulated or whatever, he always feels that tonight seems to be very interesting.
