Chapter 2: Clouds on the Mountain (Part II)

Tianhuo and the others got out of the carriage, and soon there were soldiers who led their carriage to other places, and there were many people watching at the foot of Qixia Mountain today, and many people set up camps, and it immediately seemed that every inch of land was precious here, even the cars of the prince's important ministers and Xiuzhen giants could not occupy the grass on both sides of the road.

Dongluhou's subordinates took up a place on the lawn on the east side of Xie's living room in advance, and used bamboo poles and ropes to pull a small area, which was only enough to set up two tents with a single curtain.

The steward of Dongluhou Mansion saw Duanjun Wang and Dongluhou and others get out of the car, and hurriedly greeted them.

"Lord Wang, Lord Hou, you are finally here, the villain has been waiting here for a long time, go to the shed to take shelter from the wind, it is cold at midnight in early spring, I have arranged for someone to warm the rice wine. ”

Dongluhou waved his hand and said, "Don't be busy, King Duanjun and I still have some relatives and friends to visit, you can lead Young Master Tian and them in to rest first." ”

There are a lot of princes and magnates who come to Qixia Mountain to observe the entrance test of Taiyi Academy, these nobles have their own duties on weekdays, and they rarely have time, even if they have time, they don't want to be defined as being too close, so there are not many opportunities to meet, and today's grand event is a good opportunity for weak tea to visit each other and contact feelings.

The tent of Dongluhou is very simple, surrounded by bamboo poles and canvas, and there is a chi-sized air window on each of the four tent walls, and the top of the tent is also a single layer of canvas, which can block the wind at most, which is much shabby compared to the tents of other powerful people.

However, it is rare to have a sheltered place in the suburbs at midnight, and Tianhuo and the others are all cultivators, so they naturally don't care about these difficulties.

Inside the tent was a large thin blanket, and in the middle of the thin blanket was a low table, on which were placed a dozen nights, and in the bowl was a light white rice wine, and it was still steaming, and it seemed that it had just been served.

Tianhuo beckoned everyone to take a seat, walked to the table and sat down on the ground, picked up a bowl of rice wine and drank it, although the others didn't think how cold the weather was, but after sitting in the carriage for almost two hours, it was also a pleasure to take a break and drink some hot soup.

"Brother Tianhuo, do you know when Taiyi Academy will open the mountain gate?" Li Hongfu deliberately put on light makeup today, wore a dazzling red dress and red dress, and had a lot of jewelry on his head, which looked particularly moving and delicate, Ah Li quietly followed Tianhuo's side, and Li Hongfo had to sit opposite Tianhuo.

Tianhuo took a closer look at Li Hongfo and said: "I don't know, the time when Taiyi Academy will open the mountain gate has always been uncertain, and it will only be notified a quarter of an hour before it opens, so we can only wait patiently." ”

Yan Bingshi said in a strange manner: "Li Hongfu, what do you want to do when you dress up like this? Today is an entry test, do you want to get a good ranking based on your appearance?"

Li Hongfu said with a smile: "Brother Yan said that he was joking, how can Hongfu be qualified to compete for the rankings at this little end, I think that if I can't pass the entrance test, I will dress up pitifully, maybe the teacher who will take the exam will be accommodating." ”

Yan Bingshi was stunned for a moment, and felt that Li Hongfu had some truth in what he said, Taiyi Academy would eliminate a few people in the entrance test in the past, and no one could guarantee that he would definitely pass the test.

Monk Miaozhi said: "Red Whisk, the entrance test still has to be based on strength, not appearance, or Sister Ah Li should not have to participate in the test and enter the mountain gate directly." You say yes, Brother Tianhuo. ”

Miaozhi's flattering words were too explicit, Tianhuo and Ah Li both felt embarrassed, Ah Li didn't like to talk to outsiders, Tianhuo coughed and said: "Song Guotaiyi Academy is the first of all the universities, there must be a strict mechanism for selecting materials, it's useless to guess now, it's better to seize the time to breathe and keep the best state to meet the test." ”

Everyone dispersed, each looking for a place to cross their knees and breathe, but Tianhuo, Ah Li, and Gu Qingliu did not move.

Tianhuo said curiously: "Brother Qingliu, don't you breathe?"

Gu Qingliu picked up the bowl and took a shallow sip of the rice wine with residual warmth and said, "No need, I've been preparing for a long time." ”

Tianhuo looked at Gu Qingliu seriously: "Brother Qingliu's cultivation has improved a lot, has he rebuilt his previous realm?"

Gu Qingliu smiled: "Thanks to Tianhuo, I know that there are so many changes in the way of cultivation, and the foundation of blindly seeking speed in the past is not solid, but this year I rebuilt all the previous realms, and only then did I truly understand the truth of 'accumulation and development, and the last to come'." ”

Tianhuo said, "Brother Qingliu's strength should be above Yan Bingshi now, right?"

Gu Qingliu also said: "The Heavenly Dao Sect is a heaven-level sect, naturally it has their background, I don't dare to say that I will definitely be able to defeat Yan Bingshi now, but there should be no problem with a draw." ”

"Then congratulations to Brother Qingliu, I hope that in a while, Brother Qingliu can get good results, I don't know how Nana and their progress are?"

"You don't have to worry about them, they also have their own improvements, and their strength is not weaker than Li Hongfu and Miaozhi now, at least they will not be at the bottom of the test, I don't know how Xingmin is in the Daluo Sect?"

"Xingmin has already arrived at the Daluo faction three days ago, it was Uncle Nu Tao who personally sent it to the Daluo faction, and it has been handed over to his master, Xingmin's talent is very valued by the Daluo faction, and we don't need to worry about him. ”

Ah Li gently leaned on Tianhuo's shoulder, she could also hear the conversation between Tianhuo and Gu Qingliu, neither of them avoided her, but Ah Li didn't want to talk to outsiders.

Gu Qingliu got up and said, "I'll go out and have a look." ”

Waiting for Gu Qingliu to leave the table, Ah Li said: "Tianhuo, I heard from the judge of the academy that when I arrived at the Taiyi Academy, I couldn't study with you, and the dean had other arrangements for me, and I was worried that I wouldn't see you for a long time." ”

Tianhuo stretched out his hand and grabbed Ah Li's hand hanging by his side and said, "Ah Li, don't worry too much, we lost our memories before and can meet again from the two domains, this time in the same academy, what are you worried about? We have a communication jade card, as long as you settle down in the academy, I will look for you as soon as possible." ”

"Well, talk about it, you can't wait for me to look for you again this time. ”

Ah Li held Tianhuo's warm palm hard, and Tianhuo also held Ah Li's slender jade hand back.

Outside the shed is very lively, like Dongluhou has a lot of princes and magnates who have occupied the position in advance, everyone has chosen a good location according to their identity and strength and set up camp, most of them are like Dongluhou here is the simplest arrangement, everyone tacitly let go of the mountain road location.

The king of Duanjun wanted to visit the camp of the royal brothers, and the Marquis of Donglu took Li Mao and Wanfeng to visit the camp of those princes and magnates, and the head of Qingping stayed to take care of Tianhuo them, and his task could not end until Tianhuo and they entered the mountain gate of Taiyi Academy.

The strength of the princes of the Song Kingdom is extraordinary, and a quarter of the freshmen of the Taiyi Academy this time are selected or supported by them, so the ten princes who have grown up including the nineteen princes gathered here, one is to show their strength through the new students, and the other is to take the opportunity to observe the strength of other new students in order to win over them in the future.

The nineteenth prince's mother was from a lower background, and he was the youngest among the adult princes, so he did not participate in the battle between the princes and maintained a good relationship with all his brothers.

Among the princes under Qixia Mountain, he was the only one who went to visit the other nine brothers, and the other princes stopped walking after leaving at most one or two princes who knew each other well.

Most of the princes were the least wary of the weakest imperial brother, and they all warmly received him, and the king of Duanjun sat in the tent of each brother for a while, showing the feelings of "brother, friend, brother, and brother" between the princes and then left.

Even so, it took Duanjun Wang nearly an hour to walk around, and when he came out after his visit, the moon had passed the middle of the sky, looking at the sparse stars in the sky, Duanjun King suddenly had a kind of "trouble as a royal prince".

Dongluhou, Li Mao and Wanfeng are much happier and more comfortable than Duanjun Wang, and most of the princes of the Great Song Kingdom came to see the excitement, so they were the most prepared, and the wine and meat maids were ready, if it wasn't for the music and dancing tonight, they would have been happy a long time ago.

Even though they are already very restrained, but this observation is more like a spring outing, all kinds of food are piled up in the camp tent, Dongluhou visited all the way, ate and drank all the way, and only half of the camp tent of the prince and magnate has already eaten a round belly, and he does not dare to go any further.

The three of Dongluhou and Duanjun Wang met in front of their camp, and the two sides looked at each other a few times and laughed.

Duanjun Wang originally frowned and looked sad, but when he saw the three of Dongluhou walking with their waists and stomachs, the grease on their mouths had not been wiped off, and the placket on their chests was full of wine stains, they knew that the three of them had gone to eat and drink, and they couldn't help but be envious and angry.

The three of Dongluhou looked at the Duanjun King with a happy look, and they knew that he had nothing to gain after turning around, and they couldn't help laughing when they thought that the prince's life was not as comfortable as his own.

The laughter woke up the people in the shed, and everyone was just about to go out, when Duanjun Wang and Dongluhou had already come in.

Tianhuo arched his hand and asked, "Why are the princes and the marquis so happy?

Dongluhou would not rob Duanjun Wang at this time, Duanjun Wang finally suppressed his smile and said: "No, there is no news yet, this king is thinking of a coke thing and smiling casually, are you in a hurry?"

Tianhuo smiled: "I'm not in a hurry, I've been waiting for a year, I don't care about these hours, I just don't know what the content of this test is, I'm a little curious, and I want to start early." ”

"It's useless for me to ask this, this king was not born when the Taiyi Academy opened the mountain gate last time, Dongluhou has participated in two introductory conferences, and he should be able to guide you. ”

Donglu Hou twisted his beard and said: "I was still young when I first observed the opening of the mountain gate of Taiyi Academy, and many things that the students couldn't understand during the test, but the second time I really understood it.

The content of the entrance test of Taiyi Academy is different every time, no one knows what the next subject will be, but the test is not carried out in the way of student confrontation, and the test content generally revolves around the four aspects of combat power, potential, wisdom and mentality, and the students who have generally obtained the freshman qualification will not be eliminated at this level as long as they are not too careless. ”

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, the test was not difficult, and everyone worked hard to never go wrong before getting started, otherwise the previous efforts would be in vain.

"However, the ranking of the entry test is directly related to the number of training resources that students will receive after entering the school, and you still need to work on it. ”

The students were in an uproar, and they were splashed with a basin of cold water on their heads as soon as they breathed a sigh of relief, and it seems that no one can relax today, so they can only do their best to strive for a good ranking.

Everyone was about to ask Donglu Hou for more information on the content of the introductory test, when suddenly there was a commotion outside the account, and then there was a series of singing voices from far and near.

"The emperor and the queen came to Qixia Mountain in person, and the subjects of the Song State came out of the tent to kneel to welcome!"
