Tianqi School Palace, the cliff behind the mountain.

Yun Quan, who eats raw sweet potatoes every day, doesn't know that he has been promoted and made rich.

Not to mention promotion, Yun Que wants to change his appetite now, even if he eats a bite of potatoes.

I have eaten enough sweet potatoes every day.

Now that Yun Que saw Tu Su and Man Shen, he felt that he had seen two sweet potato essences.

Ten days facing the wall, Yun Que was not idle.

I learned from the two of them every day, and thus became familiar with the power of the Seven Rank Refining God Realm.

From the very beginning, Tu Su and Man Shen were beaten every day, and when Yun Que proposed to fight on the tenth day, the two directly fell on the ground and admitted defeat.

"No more fighting! You're too heavy! My face is still not good! ”

"It's all seven grades, why can't the two of us beat you together, I admit defeat! I'm going to die if I hit me again! ”

The two of them couldn't get up.

Yun Que glanced at these two reckless men from the grassland, and then gave up the idea of fighting.

It's that you can't fight anymore.

Before the retreat, these two were beaten into pig's heads by the martial artists in the martial arts hall, and it has been ten days, and they are still two pig heads, and the injuries are not light at all.

"Am I doing it too hard?"

Yun Que sat at the bottom of the cliff and began to reflect on himself.

Tu Su was helpless when he heard this, looking at his bruised body, and the grassland people who had been fighting all year round could still bear it, and if they were replaced by other martial artists, they would have to be beaten to death after ten days of fighting.

When the ten days came, Yun Que finally regained his freedom.

As soon as he walked out of the back mountain, Yun Que saw the county lord Lingyun wearing a student uniform, like a blooming pear blossom, smiling in front of him.

"Your Royal Highness the county lord hasn't seen you for a long time, are you also here to face the wall?" Yun Que quipped.

"I heard that the students behind the wall of Wuxin Cliff want to eat everything when they see it, and they are very embarrassed, so I will come to see the fate of the people facing the wall." Mu Qingyao was not to be outdone.

Then the little county lord really saw the bleak end of the people facing the wall, and Tu Su and Man Shen came out from behind Yun Que with two pig heads on their heads.

"Finally free! Never again! ”

"I'd rather sleep with a group of seventh-order demon beasts than face the wall with Yun Que!"

With tears in their eyes, the two ran back to the Hundred Flowers Hall to find something to eat.

Mu Qingyao was taken aback by Tu Su and Man Shen, looked at Yun Que suspiciously, and said:

"You can't be the one who hit it, right?"

"Of course not, how can I be so honest and beat people, they hurt themselves, you see I didn't get hurt, I honestly faced the wall for ten days." Cloud lacks a way.

Mu Qingyao obviously didn't believe it, and said: "As soon as you entered the school palace, you gambled with the masters of the Yanwu Palace, and after winning one move, you fought with hundreds of people, and the name of your cloud shortage is almost known to everyone in the school palace." ”

"Are you that famous, I'll keep a low profile in the future." Cloud lacks a way.

After meeting with Mu Qingyao, Yun Que learned that the other party was imprisoned and grounded, and also learned of the emperor's reward.

Now that Yun Que has finally become free himself, he can go to the street if he has nothing to do, and he doesn't have to worry about being hunted down.

"The official position of the five grades of the Criminal Department, the emperor is very generous."

After Yun Que sighed, he immediately asked the most concerned question: "Wupin official, how much money is there in a month?" ”

"I don't know exactly how much, but it should be more than two hundred taels of silver." Mu Qing Yao said.

"So much!" Yun Que was taken aback.

When he was working as a servant in Zangshi Town, it was only a hundred copper coins to examine a corpse, and he might not be able to make up enough silver for one or two in a month.

Sure enough, it's good to be an official.

Yun Que is not without emotion.

"Not only that, the emperor named you the prince's companion." Mu Qingyao said with a smile.

Knowing that he had become the prince's companion and walked in the East Palace, Yun Que was puzzled.

"I'm a martial artist, I don't have much knowledge, what does it mean for me to read with me?"

"Your Majesty's intentions, I can't figure it out, in short, it's not a bad thing, at least you have two copies to take." Mu Qingyao said with a smile.

Yun Xiao nodded, and pretended to arch his hand: "Weichen, thank you for the county lord's help." ”

"No courtesy."

Mu Qingyao couldn't help but laugh, stuffed Pingshan Jun's demon order and a silver ticket worth three thousand taels to Yun Que, and said, "Fulfill the promise, the money is given to you." ”

"The county lord really kept his word, I don't know when the remaining benefits will be realized." Yun Que smiled evilly.

Mu Qingyao's face flushed, and she pinched the back of Yun Que's hand fiercely and said, "I'll talk about that later!" I'm not going to pay for it! ”

After laughing, Mu Qingyao looked straight and said:

"I've seen Shizun, and Shizun said that everyone has their own ambitions, and he won't force you to come to Si Tianjian."

Yun Que didn't speak, and nodded slightly.

Mu Qingyao then informed Yun Que of Wujiazhai's ancient method of building war witches.

"Sure enough, it's not a normal war witch." Yun Que frowned slightly.

When he killed the hundred Wu family war witches, Yun Que felt strange.

Normal war witch, although the body is stronger than normal people, but it is also limited in strength, more than similar to the nine pins of martial arts, after being hit hard, it will definitely not be able to stand it, but the Wu family war witch is obviously similar to a monster, and he doesn't know the pain when his hands and feet are broken, and he can still rush to kill.

"Where did the means of creating war witches come from, Si Tianjian is still investigating, I guess it was done by the masters in the Red Lotus Sect." Mu Qing Yao said.

"Red Lotus Sect, how is the investigation?" Yun Que asked.

"Your Majesty has issued an order to clear the remnants of the Red Lotus Sect, I have inquired, in recent days, many believers of the Red Lotus Sect have been dug up, and thousands of heads have been cut off, but there is no news about the trace of the sect leader." Mu Qing Yao said.

"What about the crossbow?" Cloud lacks a way.

"I don't know, the criminal department is responsible for the crossbow incident, and it just so happens that you are in charge of the criminal department, so you can inquire about it yourself." Mu Qing Yao said.

The two talked as they walked, and soon arrived outside the Hundred Flowers Palace.

"I will study in the Hongru Hall in the next few months to prepare for the impact on the realm at the end of the year, and I may often have to study in retreat."

Mu Qingyao advised: "You have to enter the palace as soon as possible to face the saint and receive the reward, Your Majesty said that I really want to meet you, a young man, and you also need to be familiar with it when you arrive at the Criminal Department, the officialdom is not as good as the Xue Palace, and you are sleek enough not to suffer." ”

Yun Que stopped and expressed the doubts in his heart: "My case, the file is marked with the word pending trial, I heard that it was determined by the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, I don't know where I offended the Shangshu Master." ”

"It's not Lord Shangshu's decision, it's Your Majesty."

Mu Qingyao told the story of the saint that night, explaining that the emperor's purpose in dragging the case was not to like Yun Que to get too close to him.

"I see, it seems that the prince has a deep affection for the county lord, and with the help of the emperor, you will be the crown princess in the future." Yun Que sour road.

Mu Qingyao put her little hands behind her back, leaned forward, stared at Yun Que for a while, and burst out laughing.

"Are you jealous?"

Mu Qingyao smiled crookedly and said: "The prince and I have indeed grown up together since childhood, and it is true that we are friends, but there is no love between men and women, I will not marry him, so rest assured." ”

Seeing that Yun Que pretended to be indifferent, Mu Qingyao pinched the back of Yun Que's hand again and admonished:

"The prince has a very strange temper, when we played together as a child, I took him as a sister, he was particularly interested in women's jewelry and dresses, but he was not interested in women, when you go to the East Palace, pay attention to your speech and behavior, the prince is not easy to get along with."

After Mu Qingyao finished speaking, she took a deep look at Yun Que, and the two parted.

Back in the Hundred Flowers Palace, the first thing Yun Que did was to rush to the dining hall.

As a result, when I saw breakfast, I suddenly lost my appetite.

Boiled sweet potatoes, sweet potato porridge, salted duck eggs.

How sweet potatoes again!

Yun Que had no appetite, Tu Su and Man Shen Ke had an appetite, but the two of them had nothing on them, staring at the salted duck eggs and grinning as if they were going to swallow them raw.

After getting the three thousand taels of silver tickets, Yun Que was kind and invited the two of them to breakfast.

Salted duck eggs alone, these two killed a hundred!

While eating, Yun Que glanced at the corner.

Qiongwu sat alone at the table, drinking sweet potato porridge in small sips, and the gentle and elegant demeanor of the dancing fairy attracted countless peeking eyes.

At this time, Qiongwu also raised his head and looked at Yun Que.

Yun Que thought that the other party would stare as usual, but instead of glaring, Qiongwu slightly hooked the corners of his mouth, showing a strange smile, which looked a little weird.

Yun Que glared back inexplicably, and said in his heart that sure enough, a woman's heart is a needle, is it tired of staring every day?

Laughed at instead?

After eating, Yun Que found Fang Shi and returned the money for the elixir of 1,800 taels.

Then I saw Wu Ying.

"Senior Brother Wu, come to me?" Cloud lacks a way.

"Of course, hey, the things I sent you are all your objects in the prison, count them yourself, and say what you are missing, and don't make up for it later." Wu Ying smiled and handed a large package to Yun Que.

Inside are all the things that Yun Que carried before.

There are scabbards, silver tickets, clothing, and two half-cut iron hook sickles, which were obtained after Zangshi Town killed the eight-rank martial artist, and they have not been sold.

After Yun Que thanked him, he stuffed the three thousand taels of silver tickets he had just gotten to Wu Ying.

"Thank you Senior Brother Wu for the Shenzang Pill, it is useless, this is the money for the pill." Cloud lacks a way.

"It's a little bit of money."

Wu Ying saw that Yun Que insisted on returning it, so he took it and said with a smile: "It's okay, happy people don't like to owe favors, I'll accept the money, but don't forget, you still owe me a punch." ”

"I won't forget, if I have a chance in the future, I will definitely give you a punch." Yun Que said with a smile.

"It just so happens that I want to go back to the Criminal Department, you just came out of the back mountain, you must not have gone to face the saint, we are all the way, wait for you to come out of the palace and go directly to the Criminal Department, in the future, we will not only be classmates in the Academy, but also colleagues in the Criminal Department, haha!" Wu Ying laughed.

Yun Que was also ready to enter the palace to meet the emperor, and by the way, he received a position and a reward, 10,000 taels of silver, and he was only able to put it in his pocket.

Besides, he became an official one day earlier, and received his salary one day earlier, so Yun Que and Wu Ying left the school palace together.

On the way, Yun Que learned a message.

A trial about the Academy.

Seeing that it is approaching the end of the year, the Tianqi Imperial City is becoming more and more lively, with large and small temple fairs continuously, and there are the most lively prayer festivals.

At the end of each year, it is not only the imperial city that is lively, but also the school palace.

In addition to the most famous annual Twelve Palaces Competition, there is also a trial of the school palace, and the trial location is in the demon mountain outside the city.

All Academy students can participate, and the ranking is determined by the number of monsters hunted, and the rewards for the top three are extremely generous.

Yun Que was very curious when he heard it.

It's just a demon hunt, I've been hunting for more than ten years, and I talk more about selling some demon skins and demon bones for a little money, and it's the first time I meet a demon hunter and a good thing with rich rewards.

"I'm waiting to compete with you to see who has killed more monsters, don't let my brother down." Wu Ying smiled and asked, "By the way, what about your knife, why is there only a scabbard left?" ”

"Hidden." Yun Que smiled slyly.

"Knowing that if you are caught, you will be put in a prison, hide your weapons in advance, you are smart enough! When the demon mountain is tested, senior brother can see your treasure sword. Wu Ying said with a smile.

Sending Yun Que outside the palace gate, Wu Ying returned to the Criminal Department.

The clouds lack a face saint.

The place where the clouds are summoned is in the imperial study.

The emperor sipped tea alone and looked at the energetic young man in front of him.

"Yes, you are full of masculinity, you can destroy Wujiazhai by yourself, your combat power is really amazing, how is your cultivation now." Yin Zi asked softly.

"Back to Your Majesty, Wei Chen has just broken through the Seven Rank Refining God Realm." Yun Que replied truthfully.

"At a young age, you are already in the seventh-grade realm, and the future life is terrifying, if the prince has half of your attainments, I can also have less trouble."

Yin Zishou sighed and said, "The Criminal Department is not in a hurry, you have received the identity jade plate, go to the East Palace first, and meet the prince." ”

"Your Majesty, Weichen is just a martial artist, and he is reading for the prince, I'm afraid it will be difficult to be competent." Cloud lacks a way.

Since he can't see through the emperor's purpose, Yun Que can only say the ugly things in front first, and when the time comes, I am not suitable, don't condemn you, the emperor, and change people as soon as possible.

Yin Zishou sighed helplessly:

"What I'm looking for is Wufu, the prince has a feminine temper and lacks some masculinity, you don't need to worry about it, the prince is also a student of the Hundred Flowers Palace, but he doesn't often go to the school palace, you are classmates, and you take care of him for me in the school palace.

If possible, it is best to teach him martial arts, I would rather him become a rough martial artist than let him be locked up in the East Palace all day long to depict the phoenix. ”

Yun Que wondered.

Why does the prince still have such a habit of embroidery, isn't that something that only women do?

Yin Zi's words at this moment actually came from the bottom of his heart, he is the king of a country, above ten thousand people, but he can't teach a disobedient son.

Yin Zishou's mood became a little depressed.

In addition to the prince's failure, there is also the whereabouts of the jade seal, which makes him feel even more helpless, this young man with transcendent combat power in front of him, Yin Zishou is already optimistic, and plans to slowly win Yun Que into a confidant, and go to the school palace to find the jade seal for him.

However, what Yin Zishou never dreamed of was that the jade seal that kept him awake at night was in Yun Que's arms at the moment, only a few steps away from him, the emperor.

Yun Que didn't mention the matter of the jade seal.

Now hand over the jade seal, it is easy to be implicated in the palace homicide.

Leaving the imperial study, Yun Que received his own identity jade plate and a reward of 10,000 taels of silver, and came directly to the East Palace.

The East Palace is located next to the Royal Palace and is not far away.

Showing the jade plate that the prince reads, Yun Que naturally walked unhindered in the East Palace.

The East Palace was too big, and I didn't see where the prince was after looking for a long time, and then I caught a palace maid and asked, and learned that the prince was reading in a study and no one was allowed to disturb him.

Just reading a book, Yun Que didn't care at all, and pushed the door in the study.

The emperor said that he hoped that the crown prince would be like a rough martial artist, so not knocking on the door and breaking in was the first step to becoming a martial artist.

As soon as he entered the door, Yun Que was directly stunned.

In the room sat a young woman, dressed in a long aqua blue dress, with delicate facial features, and was drawing her eyebrows in the mirror.

The woman was also stunned, and the two stared at each other for a while, and no one could speak.

Yun Que felt that the prince's life was good, the golden house was beautiful, and there were still beauties in the East Palace.

"Who are you? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Yun Que was the first to break the silence.

The woman's hands clenched suddenly, her whole body trembled obviously, her eyes were full of anger and resentment, and she said angrily:

"You're so daring!"

As soon as he heard the other party speak, Yun Que was stunned again.

Although the voice is feminine, it is clearly a man's tone.
