The people who ate at the imperial banquet were exhausted, and it was Xu Xian's deep internal strength as the foundation, and finally he left the palace in a daze.

If you want to say that the most comfortable thing is only Wei Hong, the emperor, others dare not drink and eat, he has no scruples, at most he pays attention to his own image, that is, he can eat whatever he wants to eat those exquisite dishes in front of him. Although I didn't eat much because I was busy talking to this group of new jinshi, it was already a lot stronger than the others who only moved one or two chopsticks.

Everyone dispersed, Wei Hong came to the imperial study alone, while drinking tea, while reviewing the government affairs of today, and at the same time asked the little eunuch who was waiting on the side: "Xiaochunzi, who is asking to see me today?"

The little eunuch hurriedly said: "The commander of the imperial guards asked the emperor to see the emperor, and at that time, the emperor was feasting all the new scholars, so he went down to wait first!"

Wei Hong put down the piece of music he was reading in his hand and said curiously: "Oh, he must have something important to do when he came to look for me, where is he now?"

The little eunuch said: "The emperor's commander is waiting in the side hall, does the emperor want to see him?"

"Call him in!"

As soon as Wei Hong said this, the eunuch called Xiao Chunzi immediately ran out of the study, and brought the emperor Fu Zhe in after a while.

"What is the matter with the Qing family?"

This imperial guard is composed of those masters who defected to the royal family, of course, there are also military selections or some children of the family, but there is one requirement, that is, the skills must be passed, so there are no weak people in the imperial guards. And this group of people is the core circle to ensure Wei Hong's safety - the so-called Ouchi masters, some of whom are imperial guards, but when they go out on errands, they will walk as Ouchi masters.

As for those who have been hanging the signboard of the Ouchi master for a long time, that is the person who has been dealing with some things outside for many years, and that is a full-time Ouchi master.

But whether it is a master of Ouchi or the imperial guard, they are all at the disposal of one person, and this person is the commander of the imperial guard, that is, the emperor who is now standing in front of Wei Hong.

"Your Majesty, the news about the martial arts conference has come back! During this period, some of them need to be seen by the emperor!" Huang Fuzhe finished speaking, took out a piece of music from his sleeve, and then the little spring ran over and handed it to Emperor Wei Hong.

Wei Hong took it casually, and then opened it to take a look, but it made him feel good at first glance.

"Shushan faction?"

He still remembered that he was talking to that Xu Xian today, and this new champion he had appointed was a disciple of the Shushan faction. He also said at first that this Shushan sect was just a little-known sect, or a sect that cultivated in seclusion and did not ask about foreign affairs, but now it seems that he guessed wrong.

"Yes! The most important thing is that there are three masters in this Shushan faction, and one of them is Xu Xian, the champion appointed by the emperor!"

"Huh?"

Wei Hong was originally curious about what would make Huangfu Zhe report the martial arts incident, but now he was very interested when he heard it, turned the page and found that the book in it was not exhaustive, so he simply put it aside and asked: "Are you sure it's Xu Xian, the champion of the new department?"

Huangfu Zhe said: "According to the report of the spies sent by his subordinates, it is indeed Xu Xian, the champion of the new department, when it is said that at the conference, the champion Lang killed Lei Zhenshan, the master of the Thunder Sword Gate, very easily, resulting in the final destruction of the Thunder Sword Gate, and the martial arts cultivation he showed is definitely not an ordinary person who practices martial arts!"

Wei Hong nodded: "So, his martial arts are very high?"

"Very high!" Although Huang Fuzhe had not seen Xu Xian make a move with his own eyes, that spy was his most trusted subordinate, judging from the information he got from his mouth, this Xu Xian's kung fu was indeed very high.

"How about it?" Wei Hong was even more interested, he didn't expect this Xu Xian's kung fu to be so high, and he was still in the limelight at the martial arts conference. This time it has confirmed the name of the all-round talent in civil and military affairs.

"This ......" Huang Fuzhe didn't expect the emperor to ask like this, and he didn't know how to answer all of a sudden. To tell the truth, what should the emperor do if he gets angry? Tell a lie, in case the emperor wants to learn from Xu Xian on a whim...... Wei Hong didn't need to ask any more, just looking at Huang Fuzhe's expression, he guessed the answer: "What about how it compares to my guards?"

Huang Fuzhe was not afraid to answer this time, and after a while, he replied: "Ordinary guards are afraid that they will not be able to take a few tricks from Zhuangyuanlang, if you ask those worshippers to make a move, they may be able to take it!"

"Huh?" As soon as these words came out, Wei Hong was taken aback. Even if he is powerful, even if he is powerful, he is also limited, and he didn't think that Huang Fuzhe would ask for an offering as soon as he exited.

What is the surname of this Huangfu Zhe, Wei Hong knows best, and he never discounts his words, and it is precisely because of this that he appointed this person as the commander of the imperial guards.

Worship, but the imperial guards and the elite of the elite of the Ouchi masters, this group of people usually don't see people, and they don't do anything, just like a group of masters, they just need to enjoy it. But everyone knows that this group of people is the killer weapon of the royal family, and those who can get the position of worship are the masters of the masters, most of them are from Zen Buddhism and Tiandao Sect, and a small number are from other sects. As for the family, it did not become an enshrinement after that.

At the same time, Wei Hong also knew that in this hall, there were two worshippers who hid to protect their safety, these people came and went without a trace, Wei Hong regarded them as immortal-like figures, but he didn't expect that Xu Xian to be such a master?

"It's so powerful!"

Wei Hong flipped through the chapter again, and when he reached the end, his eyes suddenly narrowed: "The Demon Sect has appeared?"

"Yes!" Actually, this matter is the reason why Huangfu Zhe came to see Wei Hong, and Xu Xian's matter has to be put in the back row! Although Xu Xian's martial arts are amazing, he is always the emperor's courtier, and coming to participate in the palace examination can be regarded as a recognition of the majesty of imperial power.

In addition, the Shushan faction made it clear at the martial arts conference that the chariots and horses and the demon sect could not get by, so Xu Xian didn't have to worry too much, just let the emperor know that this person was also with peerless martial arts.

But this demon sect has to make the court care about something. Because the leaders of this demon sect have taken the overthrow of the Shang Dynasty as their own responsibility, every time they appear, they have to cause a storm. Although on the surface, they are all righteous martial arts and demon sects, but when is there no need for the imperial court to help wipe their butts in the back?

Not to mention the sidelines, hundreds of thousands of people gathered together with swords and slashed and beat each other like a river of blood, and the government did not come forward? The court did not come forward? What did the common people think?

Therefore, every time the Demon Cult appears, it is enough to keep the people in power busy for a while!

"This demon sect is the great enemy of this dynasty, but it has always been difficult to eradicate, which really annoys me!" casually threw the piece aside, Wei Hong pinched his eyebrows: "This matter will be handed over to the Heavenly Dao Sect and the Zen Sect to deal with, the Qing family sent some masters to check the situation, and by the way, secretly ultimaginary to the state capitals, carefully explore the location of the demon sect's lair, so that the people of the Heavenly Dao Sect and the Zen Sect know where the other party's hometown is, so that they can be uprooted." ”

Huangfu Zhe should be, but in his heart, he didn't think that this group of state capitals could help much. In fact, the imperial court has been searching for the whereabouts of the Demon Sect for a long time, but it has never had a clue, and now if it weren't for the fact that Lin Hai, the leader of the Le Gang, suddenly repented at the conference, I am afraid that there would still be nowhere to know the news of the Demon Sect.

And the whereabouts of the Demon Sect at the conference were not so much leaked, but deliberately released.

"Alas!

Leaving from the imperial study, Huang Fuzhe pinched his brows, this matter is really not easy to do!

And when he left, Wei Hong reviewed a few more pieces, and then suddenly said: "I didn't expect that Xu Qing's family is still the top master in the martial arts, even so, it still takes several years for that disease to recover, and I don't know how I contracted that cold ......."

"However, this Xu Xian's literary brilliance is extraordinary, and his martial arts are also extraordinary, he is really a rare figure in the world, and it is extremely difficult for such a handsome man to really use it for me, and he must have a little more benefits!"

After that, he said to the little eunuch beside him: "Xiao Chunzi, what official position do you think I should give to that Xu Xian?" Originally, according to the ordinary rules, after the palace test, many jinshi would be awarded an official and a half position, but most of them were idle positions in various departments, to put it bluntly, they entered various departments as an apprentice, learned how to handle the work of various departments, and learned how to be an official.

If it is slow, it may be that after two or three years, he will get a full-time job - but it is uncertain whether this full-time job will stay in the court or be released, depending on how well he mixed up during the years he was an apprentice.

A small number of people are also directly given the main position, but too few, once such a figure appears, there are fools who also know that this is favored by the current emperor, and the saint is long, and ordinary people will not get along with this person, because they are not sure what realm they will go to in the future, and the marquis is also said to be waiting. Right now, Wei Hong is thinking about giving Xu Xian an official.

But Xiao Chunzi said: "What kind of official is the emperor, you can be the master, Wei Chen doesn't dare to say anything! But Wei Chen thinks that if the emperor really values the champion Lang, why not form some relationships?" The little eunuch calls himself a slave, and the foreman eunuch calls himself Wei Chen if he has an official position.

"Do you have some relationships?" Wei Hong touched his chin, which already had some beard on it: "Do you want to recruit him as a colt?"

Wei Hong thinks this method is good, but he is still young, and now he only has a daughter who is just over two years old. But it's not impossible to recruit Xu Xian as a concubine, his own sister hasn't married yet!

"You mean, my sister?"

Xiao Chunzi bowed her head and said: "Her Royal Highness the eldest princess has always regarded herself very highly, and ordinary men have always been unable to enter her eyes, but now this Xu Xian is all-round in civil and military affairs, and his appearance is extraordinary, so His Royal Highness the eldest princess will not have any opinions!"

Wei Hong nodded, but when he thought of his sister's arrogance that no one looked down on, he also had a headache, so he said casually: "I'm thinking about it, but your suggestion is good, let's go get some reward money and make pocket money later......"

He was thinking about how to win over Xu Xian, but Xu Xian returned to the inn in a daze, and as soon as he entered the door, he said to Xiao'er: "Whatever you have to eat, hurry up and serve me something!"

Unexpectedly, the little second smiled bitterly and said: "Guest officer, you see that it has been such an hour, the cooks have gone back to rest, and the fire on the stove has been extinguished, so I really can't get you food!"

"It's okay to have cold rice and cold dishes!" Xu Xian was really hungry this time, and he couldn't care about that much at this time.

"There are no cold meals and cold dishes...... Xiao Er also couldn't cry or laugh, and the son in front of him didn't know what to do, so he stared at himself viciously with his eyes, as if he was going to eat him - but because of the dim light, this Xiao Er didn't see that this was the new champion.

was depressed, and suddenly saw Huang Rongrong turn from behind, and when she saw him, she said: "I still have food there, you can pad your stomach first, I'll go outside to see which restaurant is closed, and help you buy some back!"

After she finished speaking, she was about to leave, not wanting to be pulled by Xu Xian: "Are you waiting here for me to come back?" He himself didn't know when he would come back, and Huang Rongrong couldn't even know. If he didn't believe that he had just caught up, how could it be possible to catch up with everyone who had fallen asleep at such an hour? The only explanation was that Huang Rongrong had been waiting for him to come back.

Huang Rongrong was a little embarrassed, and wanted to cover up the past, but after thinking about it for a long time, she couldn't think of an excuse, and finally had to say: "I'll buy you food!"

I didn't want Xu Xian to let go at all, but pulled Huang Rongrong back. Huang Rongrong's body was already petite, and her strength was far less than his, but this time she was dragged into Xu Xian's arms, and her nose hit Xu Xian's chest directly. After realizing that he was actually being held in Xu Xian's arms, he was happy and blushing at the same time, and he didn't know what to do.

After a while, I realized that this was not good, and hurriedly said: "Let go!"

"You're my unmarried wife, what are you afraid of?"

"That ...... Seen"

Xu Xian looked up, only to see Xiao Er, who was cleaning up the tables and chairs, turning his head and ignoring it: "Oh, finally there is no one, but I can rest!"

“......”

Xu Xian pulled Huang Rongrong and walked into the backyard with him on his side, and when he came to Huang Rongrong's room, he saw that the bunch of dishes on the table had not been touched, and he knew that he was not bad, Huang Rongrong was indeed waiting for him to come back.

"Isn't there a lot of food here? What else are you going to buy?"

Huang Rongrong was hugged by him for a while, and her face was so hot that she could fry eggs, and at this time, Xu Xian asked about the food, and then she eased up a little: "That...... The food is cold, I'd like to go buy you some hot!"

Xu Xian saw that the soup was really cold, but he didn't care, just said: "It's so late, where can I buy hot food? It doesn't matter if it's cold!"

Huang Rongrong casually picked up the bowl of soup: "I'll go and heat this up!"

It doesn't matter if the food is cold, the soup is really undrinkable when it is cold! However, Xu Xian snatched the bowl of soup back and said, "What's so troublesome? Look at me!"

Putting the soup bowl down, Xu Xian said: "It's a pity that my Pure Yang Supreme Skill is not scorching, if I call that Pei Gonglie to come, it is estimated that this soup will be able to boil in a moment!"

Thanks to Pei Gonglie, he had already died, otherwise he would have heard Xu Xian's words, and he didn't know if he would die again in anger.

As for the other dishes, Xu Xian didn't care if he ate them cold, as if he had expected that he wouldn't be able to eat them hot, so he secretly wondered, so he couldn't help but ask: "Who chose these dishes for you?"

Huang Rongrong saw that Xu Xian had revealed his superb internal skills, and she was stunned, wondering when she would be able to achieve such cultivation. Although the Eight Desolations [***] Solipsism she cultivated was the internal strength of the yin, it could run retrograde and exert the masculine internal strength, just like what Xu Xian had just done, and she could do it theoretically, but it was not as easy as Xu Xian, but she didn't expect it.

was remorseful, and suddenly heard Xu Xian's question, and said without thinking: "It was chosen by the master!" Ye Wen asked her not to be so angry, since she was already counted as half of the Shushan people, it was okay to call the head or the head of the senior brother, so she changed her mouth.

When Xu Xian heard this, he didn't expect that Ye Wen helped pick it out, and looked at the two cold dishes on the table, one torn roast chicken and one stir-fried vegetables, but even the fried greens were not unpalatable when they were cold - it seemed that Ye Wen was very experienced in dealing with this officialdom, and he knew that he would come back very late, and he couldn't eat anything at the imperial banquet, and finally came back hungry.

"Senior brother knows a lot. ”

But...... Xu Xian suddenly leaned to the window, and then shouted loudly: "Senior brother, go to bed quickly!" and then walked back to the table and ate in Huang Rongrong's surprised gaze: "Rongrong will eat too!"

"Oh......"

Picking up the chopsticks, Huang Rongrong tilted her head: "Are you talking to the master?"

Xu Xian took a big bite of the chicken leg and nodded: "I suspect that Senior Brother Bacheng is eavesdropping somewhere!"

"Huh?" Huang Rongrong didn't believe it, but then remembered that Ye Wen didn't seem to be a serious person, and it was not impossible to do this kind of thing, so she didn't ask anymore, just quietly watched Xu Xian eat.

At the same time, on the roof, a guy who was eavesdropping was rubbing his ears, and then Ning Ruxue on the side pouted and mocked: "Ask for your own hardship, so you have to eavesdrop!"

Ye Wen said secretly: "This kid has not overheard the two of us before! It's not that I'm afraid that you won't tell you because of your tender face?" It's just that Xu Xian's voice really made his ears a little uncomfortable, and it was still buzzing at this time.

Patting his ears, Ye Wen got up and jumped off the roof, and then looked back at Ning Ruxue: "Isn't the senior sister coming down?"

Ning Ruxue snorted, and then jumped down: "Do you say that I am you?" and then said as if remembering something: "By the way, isn't Senior Brother worried about what Lin Pingzhi said during the day today, and his Lin family is also looking for a husband for his sister, so I came to see what the relationship between Senior Brother and Rong Rong is?"

Regarding the matter between Huang Rongrong and Xu Xian, Ye Wen did not hide it from Ning Ruxue, so she also knew it clearly. Regarding the relationship between these two people, Ning Ruxue raised her hands in agreement. After all, she and Huang Rongrong have been together for a long time, and the relationship is quite good, so she naturally wants to be more towards this little sister.

Ye Wen waved his hand: "We will know about this matter in the next few days! It is estimated that from tomorrow, the person who came to arrest his son-in-law would have to step on the threshold!"

What he said was not wrong at all, as soon as it dawned the next day, someone came running with gifts and said that they wanted to visit Xu Xian, one after another, one after another, and even many matchmakers came to the door, which made Xu Xian's ears devastated.

Fortunately, he couldn't bother Ye Wen, so he only watched the excitement from the sidelines, but at noon, Lin Pingzhi ran over with a sad face, and as soon as he saw Ye Wen, he said: "Brother Ye, the little brother is not voluntary, and I still hope that Brother Ye Haihan!" With a wave of his hand, a group of handymen behind him put a bunch of gifts on the table.
