"You... Are you sure he doesn't have any martial arts?"

"I can't see the external strength, but I'm sure he doesn't have any internal strength. ”

"External power... External work. Xu Ruyi thought about it, and couldn't remember any external skills that purely increased strength: "What a monster." ”

After the "performance", it was almost time to eat. A sumptuous banquet has already been prepared in the side hall of the East Factory. It is said that the big table of the Eight Immortals is full of wine and food. And when they gathered around the table, they pushed their cups and changed them.

"I said drunkard, you've been running for almost three years. Just find five people, you're too useless. ”

"I'm here!" Wang Yongzhen snorted, stretched out his hand and pointed at Cao Jie and said: "What you want is the number one person in the world, you should be so easy to find?

"Hey, hey. Cao Jie grabbed a fat chicken in his hand and said with a smile: "I'm a street performer, and I really bothered Brother Wang by running around." ”

"It's okay, it's okay. Wang Yongzhen said with a smile: "You have such great ability, and it is worth the effort." ”

"Brother Wang, you don't like to hear what the slave family says. Han Bing provoked: "Brother Cao's ability is great, but our ability is small?"

"Hey, it's not Brother Wang's, I'll punish myself with three cups, and I will punish myself with three cups. As he spoke, Wang Yongzhen drank three cups in a row, and he drank them all.

The crowd applauded in unison.

After three rounds of drinking, Wang Yongzhen said to Yamazaki Ryuya: "Devil, I inquired for you on the rivers and lakes." The public loss class is indeed a dragon that sees the head but does not see the end, no one knows its whereabouts, and now it is between life and death. However, I had heard the news by chance that there seemed to be a person with superb medical skills near the 100,000 Mountains in southern Xinjiang, and maybe he was the descendant of the Shen family of the Golden Needle. How about I send them here this time, and I'll accompany you on another trip to the 100,000 mountains?"

"One hundred thousand mountains?" Yamazaki Ryu also wrote down the name, then shook his head and said, "No need, there is a name, I'll just go by myself." ”

Hua Pengfei heard the two of them mention the Golden Needle Shen family, and couldn't help but wonder: "The Golden Needle Shen family, what are you asking them for?"

Xu Ruyi's heart moved: "Yes, Hua Pengfei knows where the Shen family is, and he was negligent for a while, and he actually forgot about this stubble." ”

"Brother Peng doesn't know. Wang Yongzhen pouted at Yamazaki Ryuya: "The junior brother heard that the Golden Needle Shen family has excellent medical skills and has the ability to live the dead, so... ”

Wang Yongzhen didn't see that the Pengfei in front of him until now was Wang Jin from the teahouse outside Chengdu. But there are also excusable circumstances, firstly, it has been a long time, and secondly, Wang Jin has made a simple disguise.

"That's right. Hua Pengfei nodded clearly, he didn't think about this aspect for a while, but now that Wang Yongzhen woke up, Hua Pengfei thought about it seriously, and felt that the Shen family might really have the ability to break limbs and continue.

"Does Brother Peng know the news of this Shen family?" Wang Yongzhen asked again.

"Uh, oh. I don't know, but I've just vaguely heard it, so I just have this question. Hua Pengfei said casually, and after revealing the words, Wang Yongzhen and others didn't think much about it.

Xu Ruyi looked left and right, and said: "Let's talk about some serious things, about the preparation of the first village in the world, I have already greeted His Royal Highness the Emperor Eldest Sun, and His Royal Highness the Eldest Sun agreed, but I haven't mentioned it on the emperor's side, and I am not going to say it for the time being, because it is inconvenient for our family to say too much."

But don't worry, our family will pay for it, you will first buy a big house in Beijing and settle down, and when the time is ripe, our family will have its own opinions. ”

Night

In Xu Ruyi's study in Dongchang, Xu Ruyi, Wang Yongzhen, Yamazaki Ryuya, and Hua Pengfei sat opposite each other. Without outsiders, some things can be said in a clear place.

Clearing his throat, Xu Ruyi took the lead and said, "I already know the hermitage of the Golden Needle Shen family. He looked at Ryuzaki Yamazaki apologetically: "I was negligent for a while and delayed this matter, so I'll accompany you." ”

Yamazaki Ryu also shook his head and said: "It's okay, he (referring to Wang Yongzhen) didn't come back before, even if you let me go, I can't rest assured that Ouyang will not be relieved." ”

"Either way, always apologize. Xu Ruyi nodded, then stretched out his hand and pointed at Pengfei, and said to Wang Yongzhen: "Re-introduction, this is the famous Yunlong Jiu Xianhua Pengfei on the rivers and lakes." Be... ”

"You are Hua Pengfei?!" Wang Yongzhen's eyes widened and interrupted Xu Ruyi's words: "That is the world's number one thief?

Brother Wang laughed. Hua Pengfei arched his hand and smiled: "What kind of dragon sees the head but not the tail, isn't this right in front of you, two shoulders against one head, I am also an ordinary person." There were many people in the daytime, and they didn't tell their names truthfully, and asked Brother Wang to forgive them. ”

"It's okay, it's okay, I understand. Wang Yongzhen didn't care.

Xu Ruyi said in a deep voice: "I called the three of you over today, mainly to arrange the next things." His eyes looked at Yamazaki Ryuya and Hua Pengfei: "Since the drunkard is back, Ouyang has him and Dong Chao to take care of, there shouldn't be a big incident, you two will go to southern Xinjiang." Missing an arm is always inconvenient, and if you can, it's the right way to get it up early. ”

"I'm afraid of them ... Hua Pengfei hesitated. After all, the few things promised to Shen Hongxian have been completed now, and now they are looking for the door again, I am afraid that they will have to be closed.

"It doesn't matter. Xu Ruyi waved his hand and said: "There is always a price code for doing things, and the conditions are open to him, and I will accept it." And... The previous few things were not trivial, I could cook for him, but the bowl always had to be served by himself. You think of a way to put the head of the Shen family, Shen... ”

"Shen Hongxian. Hua Pengfei reminded.

"Yes, Shen Hongxian, let her come to the capital to meet our family. Not to mention anything else, the Shen family's reappearance in the rivers and lakes is not a trivial matter, and there are too many things to say in person. ”

Hua Pengfei thought for a while, nodded and agreed: "Okay, I'll lead Long Ye to the 100,000 Mountains when I turn around." Reaching out and patting Yamazaki Ryuya's shoulder: "Master Long, the 100,000 mountains are dangerous, I'm afraid you will suffer a little sin." ”

"It's okay to die. Yamazaki Ryu also shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently.

Xu Ruyi nodded, and looked at Wang Yongzhen again: "Dongchang's reputation is not good now, and I am afraid it will be even worse in the future." I told you before that the first village in the world was hung in the name of His Royal Highness the eldest grandson, in order to distinguish it from the East Factory on the bright side. With a good reputation, it will be much easier to recruit strange people in the future. Today, you brought the five of them to the East Factory, but it was a little inconsiderate.

But it doesn't matter, you go back and tell them, they are all people who have never seen the market, it shouldn't be a big deal, but don't contact me more in the future. ”

"That's really what I think is bad. But... Wang Yongzhen hesitated: "If it is not related to your Dongchang, I am just an outcast of Qingcheng, and I can't recruit real capable people by relying only on money." ”

"When the time comes, it will naturally give you a decent official position, and you don't need to be anxious about this. Xu Ruyi said meaningfully: "Our good days... Not far off. ”

。。。。。。

At the end of the examination, the doors of the Gongyuan were finally opened again after three days of being closed.

More than 5,000 people rushed out, each running to his own residence.

The champion building and the first pavilion are all large row feasts. These two banquets were hosted by the bosses of the Zhuangyuan Building and the Pavilion, which was regarded as a thank you to their parents for food and clothing, and at the same time, in order to leave a good impression in front of the future dignitaries and nobles who did not know which of them.

It stands to reason that the examination has just ended, and the mood of the candidates should be relaxed and happy, although the palace examination is not far away, but no matter how you say it, it is not bad for this night.

The southern lifters of the first cabinet obviously did well in the exam, and everyone was smiling and complacent. Of course, they also know that they may not necessarily be on the list, but they instinctively feel that they have a lot of hope. After all, I still know the volume I made by myself.

In comparison, the atmosphere of the champion building is a little sluggish, although there is a smile on his face, but there is always a hint of far-fetched in the smile.

"Brother Liu. ”

"Brother Shichang"

"You can be sure of this test. ”

The two lifters at the same table exchanged each other's "experiences" in a low voice.

The scholar surnamed Liu looked left and right, and then said with a sad face: "It's not good, it's not good." The question from Mr. Liu in today's department, the foolish brother is really a little confused. ”

"Oh, that's good, that's good. Zhao Shichang exhaled, with a look of "You didn't do well in the exam, then I'll be relieved".

"Brother Shichang, are you too?"

"Alas. Zhao Shichang sighed, shook his head with a wry smile: "Jews are also scholars." This topic is incomprehensible, and I can't even see the source, let alone break the question. ”

"yes, I always feel like I've heard of it, but I haven't remembered it until now, so I'll have to look through it when I look back. ”

"What else are you flipping, I guess we'll all have to roll up and go home this time, and we'll talk about it in three years. A man at the adjacent table heard the conversation between the two and came over in frustration: "I just remembered that these two sentences are from the Analects. We are not even familiar with the Analects, and we still want to be named after the gold list?"

"The Analects, is it impossible?" Zhao Shichang and his brother Liu frowned.

"Still don't believe me? I'll recite it to you. The man recited in a low voice: "Zi said: Wen, Mowu Jews also." The son said: The scholars of the past are themselves, and the scholars of today are people. ”

After a moment of silence, Zhao Shichang sighed: "Liu Gong is worthy of being a great Confucian in the world, and he actually thought of extracting a piece of words from the Analects, merging them into one, and creating a new idea, admiration, admiration." ”

The surname Liu also echoed: "In the past exams, there has never been such a question, but it is still the words of the sage in the Analects, which... This... It's hard to say. ”

"In my opinion, let's not mention that group of Southern Barbarians for the time being, in this champion building, it is probably only Brother Han and Brother Wang who can solve the problem. ”

Zhao Shichang and Liu Juzi glanced at each other, nodded and said, "With the two of them here, I should not lose face in the north." ”

"Don't forget Huang Shangbin. ”

"Oh, yes, Brother Shang Bin is also a great talent, and he will definitely be able to be named on the gold list. ”

At the same time, in a private room on the second floor of the Zhuangyuan Building, Wang Shu and Huang Guan gathered around a small table, drinking two plates of small fried wine and drinking a pot of weak wine.

"Brother Wang, look at you like this, but... ”

"How so?"

"Usually, you and Brother Han like to socialize the most, but now Brother Han is out and mingling, but you come to me to drink this tasteless wine, do you need to say anything else?"

"Alas. Wang Shu sighed and said abruptly: "Three years and three years, ten years of cold windows, I thought that this time I would be able to leap into the dragon gate, but I didn't expect to meet Tan Tanweng." Two sentences and one question, life, life. ”

Huang Guan said softly with relief: "The questions in this exam are too difficult, don't look at the large number of people taking the exam, I'm afraid that few people may not be able to answer, and Brother Wang doesn't have to be too pessimistic." ”

"Brother Shang Bin, has he successfully solved the problem?"

Huang Guan smiled faintly and was silent.

Wang Shu shook his head and said: "You, I, plus Han Kezhong downstairs, have the hope of being a son in Jiangbei, if you are the only one on the list, I'm afraid my northerners don't look good." ”

Huang Guan was silent for a moment and said: "The meeting has passed, and it will not help to say anything else, and Brother Wang doesn't have to worry too much." ”

"Alas... ”

。。。。。。

5,000 people participated in the examination, and Liu Sanwu also had 5,000 test papers to be read. Of course, he can't finish it alone, but fortunately, there are a number of deputy examiners such as Bai Xinju to help.

After bowing three times and bowing nine times before the ranking of Confucius, the "Most Holy Teacher of Dacheng", and making a heavy oath, the high school examiner began an intense review process. The day-to-day review is boring, but there is no way, and this is their duty as examiners.

"Lord Bai," a red-faced examiner leaned in front of Bai Xinju, and his voice was like a mosquito: "It's the word "Yanxing", right?" ”

"Yes, but don't overdo it. Bai Xinlu nodded, and then looked coldly at the examiner beside him: "The stakes are very high, tell them that if they miss the prince's errand, be careful of their heads!"

"Yes, yes, the lower officials know, the lower officials know. ”

Looking at the obscure volume on the transfer case again, Bai Xinzhu read it carefully, and saw the sentence "Soaring, like Yanxing in the air." With a bitter smile, such a bullshit sentence was written by him. But there is no way, this is already the most "outstanding" of the "Yanxing" articles he has read. A circle was drawn with a red pen, and the scroll was set aside.

In fact, Bai Xinyu knew in his heart that this might not be useful, because the final screened papers would have to be reviewed by Liu Sanwu alone, and with his temper, I am afraid that none of these papers would be selected. But there is no way, who told him that Liu Sanwu will not enter the oil and salt? Now, I can only pray in my heart that there will be a few people in the north who can compete for energy.

Liu Sanwu only didn't know about Bai Xin's resentment, and there was also a thick stack of rolls in front of him, where could he take care of anything else?

"The article is well done, the beginning and the end are combined, and the skills are not shallow. Reading the article in his hand with relish, Liu Sanwu showed a smile on his face, it was rare to encounter a good article, which made him very happy. was about to raise the pen to draw a circle, but suddenly frowned, muttering to himself: "The article is a good article, but it's a pity that the word 'Zhang' forgot to lack a pen, alas, it's a pity." With a slanted hook, the roll was thrown aside.
