Outside the city.

Near the location of the previous fight, a halo of light appeared out of thin air.

The pillar of light flashed and passed.

Li Xuanju finally teleported back.

"Little junior sister! Little junior sister? ”

Li Xuanju looked around, scratched his head and said, "That's right, this is here, what about people?" ”

The third senior brother of Si Tianjian shouted for a long time and no one answered, so he searched around like a fly.

After looking for a long time, I was so tired that I was covered in stinky sweat, and I didn't see a single figure.

"Shouldn't the little junior sister be killed...... Li Xuanju yelled angrily: "Dead Dao Aunt! It's kind of coming at me! What kind of ability is it to bully my little sister! ”

When Li Xuanju was anxious and annoyed to find someone, his little junior sister was pulling Yun Que to walk happily in the imperial city.

Tianqi Imperial City, a veritable city that never sleeps.

At night, the Imperial City is brightly lit, with all the shops on the street open and countless snacks on the roadside.

On the long street, there is an endless stream of pedestrians.

After eating a few snacks along the way, Mu Qingyao pulled Yun Que to the center of the street, and pointed to a towering building in the distance:

"That's Si Tianjian! At the top of the roof is the stargazing platform, where you can overlook the entire imperial city, and the scenery is beautiful! Shizun often sits on the stargazing platform to deduce the heavenly machine, and I like to admire the moon at the stargazing platform the most, the bright moon seems to be within reach! ”

Mu Qingyao introduced Si Tianjian's tall building with great interest, Yun Que raised his head and smiled, but his eyebrows were always slightly frowned.

Soon, Mu Qingyao noticed that Yun Que's expression was a little depressed.

"I'm sorry, I forgot, Si Tianjian is your home." Mu Qingyao said softly.

The demon hunter from the previous dynasty was born here, and after a demon war, the country was ruined and the family was ruined, and he was exiled to the border.

Yun Que's feelings for Si Tianjian are complicated.

Both familiar and unfamiliar.

Just like this magnificent Tianqi City.

"It's been a long time since then, my home is in Qinghu Mountain."

Yun Que smiled and said, "What else is delicious in the imperial city, street food can't fill your stomach." ”

"I'll take you to eat steamed buns!"

Mu Qingyao pulled Yun Que to a bun shop.

Yun Que thought it was a small stall shop on the street, but it turned out to be a three-story restaurant, luxurious and magnificent.

The two went to the third floor and chose a window seat.

The menu was on the table, and Yun Que looked at it and was shocked.

It is indeed a steamed bun shop.

The main ones sold are steamed buns, but there are hundreds of kinds of steamed bun fillings!

There is no shortage of ordinary vegetables and meat, as well as fish filling, lotus seed filling, peach blossom filling, deer antler filling, sea cucumber filling, and so on.

The price is not cheaper.

The most expensive is the Tang monk stuffing, which is sold individually, regardless of the drawer, a bun is a tael of silver!

Yun Que looked funny, pointed to the menu and said:

"Tang Seng didn't go to the West Heaven originally, he only walked to Tianqi City, otherwise how could he be made into stuffing."

Mu Qingyao giggled when she heard this, and explained:

"The store is just a means to attract attention, Tang monk's stuffed buns are actually used in nine kinds of precious materials, all of which have the effect of prolonging life, so they are so named, the taste is good, you try it."

Anyway, the county lord is the east, Yun Que is naturally not polite, and first asks for a cage of Tang monks.

Then he said to Xiao Er: "Two more cages of second senior brother." ”

Xiao Er scratched his head when he heard this, and said suspiciously: "Guest officer, we don't sell the second senior brother, there is no wow." ”

Yun Que said: "You even sell Tang monk stuffing, don't you have pork buns." ”

Xiao Er suddenly realized, patted his head and said, "Yes!" Of course there is, wait a minute! Table C on the third floor, Tang Seng has a cage, and the second senior brother has two drawers! ”

Xiao Er's funny shouting drew laughter from the diners around him.

Yun is short of food, this bit of buns is naturally not a problem, and he eats a ditch full of trenches.

Mu Qingyao only needed two peach blossom-filled buns, and ate them in small bites, subtle and dignified.

"Eat so much, you're not hungry." Yun Que hiccuped.

"That's all I usually eat." Mu Qingyao said softly.

It's not that I'm not hungry, it's that I can't eat as gracelessly as before.

Because this is the Tianqi Imperial City, she is the lord of Lingyun, and her every move involves the face of the royal family.

If outsiders recognize the county lord in the bun shop and gobble it up, it is the royal family who is embarrassed.

Back in the Imperial City, the identity of the county lord can no longer be put aside.

"When you were in Zangshi Town, you didn't eat like that." Yun Que said with a smile.

Mu Qingyao rolled her eyes angrily and pinched the back of Yun Que's hand.

It's a pity that the strength of the little county lord, even if he uses his hands and feet together, he can't hurt an eight-rank martial artist.

"It turns out that the county lord is quite tired, he doesn't dare to eat enough, he doesn't dare to run fast, and there are royal etiquette restrictions everywhere." Yun Que shook his head and said, "It's boring. ”

"Everyone has their own destiny, and since I was born in the royal family, I can't choose." Mu Qingyao looked out the window at the lively long street.

Some girls on the street walked in groups, talking, laughing, playing and having fun.

Mu Qingyao is very envious of those ordinary girls who can play with their companions unscrupulously.

But she couldn't.

She is the lord of the county and can only follow the rules of the royal family.

"Then the husband you choose in the future must also be decided by the emperor, and you must be the right person." Yun Que said flatly.

Mu Qingyao immediately retracted her gaze and looked directly at Yun Que with a solemn expression.

It wasn't until he saw the sourness on Yun Que's face that he had deliberately hidden but hadn't hidden much that Mu Qingyao burst out laughing.

"In everything else, I will abide by the royal rules, but I can only choose my own husband."

Mu Qingyao looked at Yun Que solemnly and said, "If there is no good person, this girl will not marry in her life!" ”

Yun Que smiled and said, "I don't know if the county lord has found a lover." ”

Mu Qingyao glared at Yun Que angrily and said, "I didn't find it!" ”

"The county lord is still young, look for it slowly, and you will definitely find it in the future." Yun Que said jokingly.

The autonomy of the Lingyun County Lord, Yun Que has never doubted that Mu Qingyao is definitely an assertive girl and will not obey orders.

But Mu Qingyao's identity has brought a lot of pressure to Yun Que.

She is the daughter of the king of Funan, the lord of Lingyun County, who was personally sealed by the emperor, and her status is no less than that of a princess.

What about yourself?

There is a grass people, hunting demons for a living, and his biggest ambition is to eat and wait for death.

Not to mention a commoner, even if the young master of a wealthy family wants to marry the lord of Lingyun, it is a fool's dream.

Those who marry the county lord must at least have to be princes and nobles, and even princes.

You must know that King Funan is a king with a different surname and has no blood connection with the royal family, and many people in the imperial city speculate that the county lord of Lingyun is the best candidate for the crown princess.

His appearance is overwhelming, his mind is extraordinary, his experience is extraordinary, his knowledge is profound, and he is a student of Tianqi Academy, and he is also a disciple of Si Tianjian Zheng, such a Lingyun county lord, how many people in the world can be worthy of it.

Yun Que also felt that he didn't seem to be worthy, so he was a little distressed.

However, Yun Que has a benefit, as long as he is full, all the troubles are not a problem.

No need to unravel,

Thinking about the identity of the demon hunter, I don't know how long I can live, and what are I worried about.

At this time, there was warmth from the back of his hand, and a small white hand held Yun Que's big hand.

Mu Qingyao quietly looked at the black-clothed young man opposite, and said in a soft and dignified tone:

"Stay until the red leaves of Xiangshan are exhausted, and you would rather live up to your responsibilities."

Yun Que was greatly moved, and said, "Who is Rulai, do you owe him a lot of silver?" ”

Mu Qingyao blinked her big watery eyes, gritted her teeth and began to pinch Yun Que's hand again.

After eating the steamed buns, Mu Qingyao took Yun Que to a garden-like area.

"This place is the Tianqi Palace, three days later for the day of admission, the Palace does not ask about the background, only look at the ability, many poor children can become a hero after walking out of the palace, high-ranking officials in the court from the palace abound, my father used to study in the palace."

After speaking, he handed a small brand to Yun Que.

The sign is a proof of the student's identity, and it needs to be presented before entering and leaving the palace.

Yun Que saw that the name of Mu Qingyao was on the sign, and he was puzzled:

"If I use your identity token, will I be able to enter the Academy?"

Mu Qingyao shook her head and said:

"This is the recommendation quota, I am your recommender, with my brand, you can be exempted from the initial examination, and you can directly enter the final assessment, and after passing, you will be a real disciple of the Academy."

Mu Qingyao explained to Yun Que in detail the rules for recruiting students in the school palace.

The first step is the preliminary examination, which has a huge scope, and all young people in the world can sign up to participate, in addition to the Great Jin, there are also many people from other countries.

The initial examination is more complicated, and it varies from year to year.

It is possible to take the Confucian knowledge test last year, the Taoist Zhili test this year, and the sword martial arts test next year.

The questions of the preliminary examination every year are written by Mr. Gakamiya.

A gentleman, out of a year's worth of exam questions.

Because the school palace is divided into twelve halls, the classification is complicated, so that the questions of the first exam are different every year, and even some are strange, and it is called one of the most difficult exams in the world.

Only after passing the preliminary examination can you be eligible to arrive in the imperial city and participate in the final re-examination of the school palace.

The re-examination is more difficult than the initial attempt, but the classification is much clearer.

The twelve halls of the palace each set up an examination room, the Taoist only tested the Taoist knowledge, the Confucian only tested the sage knowledge, and the martial arts only tested the sword kung fu, which was simple and clear.

The number of places in the school palace mentioned by Mu Qingyao actually refers to a qualification that skips the preliminary examination and directly participates in the final assessment.

This kind of recommendation qualification is only available to the best among the students, and at least the top ten in each of the twelve halls.

For ordinary students, there is no recommended place.

Of course, Mr. Xuegong also has a place, but it is a place to directly become a student, after all, Mr.'s recommendation is too heavy and very rare.

Mu Qingyao reminded:

"Three days later, the twelve halls of the school palace will each set up an examination room, you can go directly to the Yanwu Hall to register, remember not to make a mistake."

"Don't worry, play the martial arts, I can read." Yun Que put away the token road.

The knowledge of the Twelve Palaces is the most useful for Yun Que is the martial arts, and the Martial Arts Hall is a place dedicated to teaching martial arts.

After instructing the school palace, the two continued to wander on the long street, enjoying a rare quiet time.

Until the end of the long street, Mu Qingyao stopped.

In front of you, there is a tall gatehouse, resplendent with gold, and a flying dragon is carved on it, which is vivid.

Standing under the archway, Mu Qingyao said with a little pride:

"This archway, is the base of the demon array, there are a total of four in the imperial city, built in the southeast and northwest four directions, the full name of the big array is the Quartet Golden Dragon Demon Array, if there is a demon infested, the power of the sealed array in the archway will turn into a golden dragon, kill the monster!"

Yun Que raised his head and looked at the magnificent archway.

At this moment, the vision protruded.

A layer of light suddenly rose below the archway, instantly enveloping the archway, and the golden dragon carved on it seemed to come to life, and it condensed a hideous dragon head!

Above the dragon's head, he opened a pair of giant eyes and stared at Yun Que below.

The Quartet Golden Dragon Demon Formation was inexplicably triggered, and the aura of the formation swept through the city in an instant!

At the same time as the Great Array opened, three pairs of eyes opened one after another in the three different areas of the Heavenly Prayer Palace, the depths of the Imperial Palace, and the Si Tianjian.
