"Manager Wang, what are you looking for me?" Li Ran looked at Wang Zhong.

"Li Shilang, congratulations, your performance last night made Your Majesty even more pleased with you. ”

Wang Zhong smiled meaningfully.

"Your Majesty...... Why is that?" Li Ran pretended to be flattered and naïve.

Wang Zhong got closer and laughed in a low voice: "Didn't I say it just now, what I said and what I did, there must be a corresponding report, that Zhou Gongzi, got his corresponding report, and you, Li Shilang, have won the trust of His Majesty and the grace of the future." ”

"What does the king mean by this, ...... I still don't understand it below. Li Ran felt that it was still necessary to pretend to be a wave, and in a place like the palace, it was still necessary to hide clumsiness.

"Hey, Li Shilang, our family doesn't treat you as an outsider, let's tell you the truth! His Majesty sent four teams of people last night to the mansions of the four princesses to find out the truth of this year's Jun Shilang, and on this night, ten people were directly eliminated, and Zhou Changling was one of them just now. Wang Zhong said softly.

"Ah, I see...... Your Majesty Shengming!" Li Ran thought for a long time, and still sighed very officially.

"Yes, in the eyes of the old slave, Your Majesty's move is not only to screen out the most loyal and upright talents as candidates for the future emperor of our dynasty, but also to make wise considerations as a mother for the happiness of her daughter's marriage. Wang Zhong said with emotion.

Hearing this, Li Ran nodded thoughtfully, and he even felt that the empress's original intention for the second consideration might be even more.

After all, as a woman, she knows very well how unfortunate it must be for a woman to live with a man who hates her in her bones.

And, most importantly, Li Ran can finally be 100% sure of one thing!

That is, among the seven people who drank together last night, one of them was an "inner ghost" planted by the empress!

This person is the son of the head catcher of the six doors - Wu Kun!

Yes, last night it was this guy who was crazy and rhythmic, deliberately provoked the topic, and his mouth was the most unrestrained, but I didn't expect him to have no shit, this is too fucking fake!

Not only that, if you guessed correctly, there was such a ghost or several ghosts in the eldest princess's mansion, the second princess's mansion, and the third princess's mansion last night!

And the inner ghost of the Eldest Princess's Mansion is 100% the dead lady who cannons the dish..... oh no, Xie Huan!

Of course, as a high-end werewolf killing player, Li Ran made these assertions, which are definitely well-founded!

As early as the day of the worship of the gods, he and Ma Wenjie found that many gentlemen were transferred, and these teenagers who were replaced may not have a good literary and background, but they are all martial arts geniuses!

And this group of people is undoubtedly all temporarily used by the imperial court, ready to win glory for the court at the next martial arts elite conference, and stand up for shame!

Similarly, it is also the "inner ghost" that the empress planted in the middle of this group of gentlemen. ”

It's all through, it's all through.

Suddenly enlightened!

At this moment, Li Ran was really glad that he was not a stupid and sweet dead house in his previous life, otherwise, he would have crossed into such a place where people were unpredictable and was killed, and he didn't know who was the black hand.

Seeing that he didn't say a word, Wang Zhong smiled and said: "Li Shilang, forgive the old slave for being blunt, Your Majesty didn't believe in your feelings for the four princesses at first, but after an unannounced visit last night, now I am convinced of you, and I believe that after a month, the prince of the four princesses will be you." ”

"How dare you, I have already promised the fourth princess with a lot of infatuation, as for the result...... Ahem, let it be. Li Ran hurriedly shook his head and said.

He didn't say this to be forced, after all, from this point of view, Wu Kun's stupid big man is also very appreciated by the empress, if this guy makes contributions in the next martial arts conference, wouldn't he be dangerous?

"Anyway...... Xiao Wan'er, this girl, shouldn't like this kind of muscular man who trains blocks, right?"

"According to the rhythm of my previous life, my little white face is the love of an ignorant girl like her. 」

Li Ran comforted himself, and unconsciously, he didn't seem to be so repulsed and disgusted by words like little white face and sissy.

"Li Shilang?"

Seeing that Li Ran was distracted from time to time, Wang Zhong was surprised and said, "You...... But you haven't rested well?"

"No, no. ”

Li Ran hurriedly smiled dryly: "So, Mr. Wang...... You've come here to tell me about it?"

"Of course, it's more than that. Wang Zhong smiled mysteriously: "Does Li Shilang know about the martial arts elite conference in three days?"

"Well, of course I do. ”

Seeing that the other party finally got to the point, Li Ran said: "The annual "Martial Arts Elite Conference" has always been a formal platform for martial arts exchanges between our Central Plains Celestial Empire and foreign vassal countries, and each country selects its own martial arts talents under the age of 30 to compete in the ring, but unfortunately, in the past two years, our dynasty has had bad luck, and it seems that the ranking is not good....... ”

Speaking of this, Li Ran pretended to be distressed.

"Yes, this year may be even more difficult......" Wang Zhong shook his head.

"What do you say?" Li Ran became interested.

Wang Zhong glanced around and said, "Do you know what our strong enemies are this year?"

"I want to hear about it. Li Ran said.

"Ji Xinghan, the disciple of the Mobei Sword Emperor, the disciple of Kitagawa Ichiro, the disciple of Dongying Shennin Kitagawa Ichiro, Mukai Yixin, the son of Goryeo Wuzun, Ha Chi Xiu, and the newly rising young elite hundreds, as reserves, on the other party's lineup...... Last night, I had an in-depth analysis with Mr. Liu, and we both agreed that this time, our chances of winning are very small, and it is very likely that we will ...... More ...... than ever before"

"Tough. Wang Zhong spat out these two words from between his teeth.

Hearing this, Li Ran was also quite emotional.

In recent years, the strength of these foreign martial arts has advanced by leaps and bounds, and all kinds of peerless geniuses have emerged in endlessly, on the other hand, in the Central Plains, in the past few decades, under the institutionalized management of the "Holy Martial Academy" as the core, the rivers and lakes are no longer wild and vigorous, and the young talents of the major families and sects are not in good and yellow, good and bad.

In fact, to say that the Great Xuan Empire, with 13 states, 40 provinces, and a vast territory of more than 20 million square kilometers, is not without a young and strong man who can be named.

It's just that in recent years, due to problems in interests, the relationship between the imperial court and these big families has been too stiff, and it is not easy to move at all.

"So, Mr. Wang came to me this time...... Is there anything I can do to help?" Li Ran immediately pulled back to the topic.

"Li Shilang, our family just said that our family does not treat you as an outsider, and I can also tell you that Mr. Liu also appreciates you very much. ”

Wang Zhong suddenly came up with such a sentence.

, I did it for a long time, this Wang Zhong was sent by Liu Liang, an old boy, to pull Lao Tzu into the gang!

Li Ran's chrysanthemum tightened, and the sharp mouth and cheek face of the great eunuch Liu Liang couldn't help but appear in his mind.

Thanks to the love of the two managers, Li Ran was terrified. He hurriedly said with official modesty.

"Don't talk about the scene, the people and horses of the four battles in the imperial court have all been decided, can Li Shilang guess?" asked Wang Zhong with a smile.

"If you are dull, please ask the king to teach you. Li Ran said modestly.

"It's okay, everyone is their own people, you boldly guess, one of them, yesterday in Shenwumen Square, also met with you!"

Wang Zhong said with a smile.

"Since Mr. Wang said so, he dared to speculate wildly. ”

Li Ran smiled and said unhurriedly: "Wujue Xie Wushuang's son, Xie Huan, Wu Kun, the son of Wu Meng, the head of the six gates, and the other two are not very sure, but not surprisingly, it should be Zhou Yuan, the second princess's servant, and the third princess's Xiangbei Knife Maniac, Chen Feng." ”

"It's a pity, Zhou Yuan died in the monster rebellion yesterday, and who will take his place in this position is unknown. Li Ran sighed and said.

He was very sure of this inference, because these four people were all temporarily placed in the list of Jun Shilang, and except for Wu Meng, the other three were all sent by the Holy Martial Academy, and their intentions could not be more obvious.

And looking at this situation, his stupid and cute brother may only be a spare tire substitute.

"Li Shilang, you ....... you ......"

Wang Zhong looked shocked and looked at Li Ran incredulously.

Li Ran frowned slightly: "What? Could it be that your guess is too outrageous? Hey, it made Manager Wang smile." ”

"No, no, Your Excellency is indeed a genius from heaven, you ...... You guessed it all right!"

Wang Zhong's face was full of amazement and shock.

"Mr. Wang has won the award, it's just a fluke, dare to ask Zhou Yuan about this shortage, who does the court plan to use to fill it?" Li Ran asked tentatively.

"Your Excellency's brother, Li Huan. Wang Zhong said categorically.

After speaking, he took out a scroll of brocade from his sleeve and stuffed it into Li Ran's hand: "Manager Liu and I have worked hard this time to grab this quota from the hands of Zhang Xiang, Governor Wei and others, Li Shilang, you should understand what I mean, right?"

Without waiting for Li Ran to reply, he said quite excitedly: "In this martial arts conference, even if the imperial court loses three times in four battles, the only glorious victory must be Li Huan!"

"So, this bag, I hope that Li Shilang will open it when he sees your brother in Fengtianmen. Wang Zhong said.

Li Ran took the bag, pondered for a moment, and said with a smile: "I understand." ”

......

......

However, it was said that Li Ran came to Fengtianmen with a heavy heart, and there were already hundreds of courtiers waiting here on the square of the outer hall of Nuoda.

The square is divided into many areas, each of which is written with a text code plate, and officials from specific departments and positions stand up, and there is no room for sloppiness.

The three princes are equal, the column is at the top, it is needless to say, from the east, there are six departments, Hanlin Academy, Yan Shenggong Five Classics Doctor, Dali, Taichang, Taifu, Guanglu, Honglu and other five temples and temples, and the west is the cabinet bachelor, the Governor's Mansion, the Metropolitan Inspectorate, the Ying Tianfu, the General Administration Division, the Shangbao Division, the Five Military Judgments and so on.

In fact, this feeling is the same as the position of the class at the flag-raising ceremony in the primary school in the previous life, which is a bit funny, Li Ran swept around, and soon found his position - the royal clan, the rank of the monarch and the servant.

At this time, there were still about twenty minutes before the start of the court meeting, Li Ran looked around, but he didn't see Ma Wenjie, he wanted to find this fat man to amuse.

Boredom, he looked east again, and saw ten meters away, his father Li Daoguang, wearing Dali Temple court clothes, talking to a group of officials, the tall old man in the middle, graceful bearing, at a glance is the boss, should be his father's top boss, today's Dali Temple Qing Yu Guangzheng.

Speaking of which, this is the first time Li Ran has seen his father go to work, and he also has mixed feelings in his heart.

It can be seen that compared with his colleagues, Li Daoguang looks very humble and restrained, with an embarrassed smile on his face, and he can't say a word.

He groaned and walked over.

The officials of Dali Temple were talking and laughing in a whisper, and they caught a glimpse of a pair of fire phoenix boots on the ground, and immediately saluted and greeted: "Li Shilang." ”

Seeing his son appear in front of him in a luxurious royal crown, Li Daoguang was stunned for a long time before he reacted, and hurriedly lowered his head and said, "Li Shilang." ”

"Hello adults, don't be polite. ”

Li Ran returned the salute elegantly and casually, and then looked directly at Li Daoguang: "By the way, Dad, I have something to tell you, Li Huan's matter." ”
