fake prince

Chapter 368
"Or what twists and turns will you encounter in this palace test?" His eyelids twitched a few times, making Su Ziji have to think about possible accidents in this palace test.

But the imperial examination is so strict, unless it is the emperor's attack, with Su Zi's talent and learning, he is really not afraid of any examination questions.

Su Ziji was vigilant, and under the leadership of officials from the Ministry of Rites, he followed 230 into the majestic and majestic hall.

Along the way, eunuchs and guards can be seen almost everywhere, and armored soldiers patrolling in groups, walking neatly and heavily guarded, but none of these are as awesome as the hall in front of which is about to face the saint.

Majestic, tall, just the steps, the highest step, standing on it, you can look down on everyone.

There are dozens of guards at the gate of the hall, all of them are officials, tall and straight, with awe-inspiring temperament, holding the handle of the knife, staring sharply at everyone who enters and exits, and being swept away by their eyes, it is Su Ziji. , also squinted his eyes slightly, before resisting the instinctive reaction of his body.

"As expected of the emperor's bodyguard, in terms of martial arts, I'm afraid I'll have to spend a lot of effort to kill each of them. If I don't use the Panlong Secret Technique, I guess it only takes a few to hold me back..."

At first, I thought that I had absorbed the martial arts of two dynasties, and I was satisfied in martial arts, but only these guards made Su Ziji realize that although he could fight alone, he could kill one or two guards. Being besieged, I am afraid that it will be difficult to escape.

When you are not proud and complacent, the road ahead is long and you still need to make progress.

Eunuch Zhao has been silent in front of the team, he went in at this time, and came out after a while to announce: "The tribute enters the palace, and sees the holy face!"

Su Ziji was Huiyuan, so he naturally walked in the front when he entered the hall. He suppressed his agitation due to various reasons, with a solemn expression, bowed and followed the officials of the Ministry of Rites who led the way, and entered the hall in a single file.

With a flash of his eyes, he saw rows of tables and chairs, and then he stood properly. He heard three quiet whips from the hall, and then the sound of drum music, and Eunuch Zhao screamed: "The emperor is here!"

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Everyone knelt down together, and there was a crowd of black crows. The whole hall was so quiet that there was no sound of coughing, and only one footstep came in. This was the emperor.

The emperor came in amidst the music, stopped for a while when he was going up the steps, glanced at the tributes, and went up to the throne in the palace, only the sound of sleeves and clothes rubbing against each other.

In the extremely quiet place, the emperor's subsequent voice was very clear: "You are scholars. You were born as scholars, you were born as scholars, you were promoted by scholars, and you were promoted by scholars. Now you are taking the Jinshi examination, relying on your articles and knowledge."

"The country selects scholars for a three-year comparison and gives you officials to assist in government affairs, comfort the local area, and manage civil affairs. Then why should you be an official?"

"It's based on public loyalty and private integrity."

All the people fell down, the hall was extremely quiet, the oppressive atmosphere made people's hearts sink to the bottom of the sea, they couldn't breathe, only the faint voice of the emperor.

"When I choose a scholar, what I take is my heart. If I can hold a loyal heart, even if I do something bad, I will give it a chance. If the heart is broken, no matter how talented I am, I will never forgive you."

"The imperial examination is not only the last test for your studies, but also the first test for your official career. You should do it yourself."

These words were normal, but in Su Ziji's eyes, there was a sudden "boom" like a thunderbolt, which made his eyes go dark. If Ben hadn't knelt down on the ground, he might lose his composure immediately.

Peach Blossom Lane·Su Residence

The little fox was sleeping soundly on a warm soft couch, still drooling a little. At this moment, Mrs. Sun appeared in the yard, sweeping the floor with her own maid.

"Ma'am, Mr. Su and Madam love this fox too much. Not only does it eat well, it's no different from the master's house, and it can also sleep on a soft couch." a lot.

"Don't talk nonsense." Sun hurriedly stopped: "You can also comment on the matter of the young master and madam. Go, take out all the rubbish."

Only then did the servant girl respond, when suddenly there was a muffled thunder, and I saw that the sky was clear at first, but with the thunder, a line of thick clouds in the far sky spread rapidly, and I hurriedly carried the bedding and clothes to dry, but the servant girl laughed again: "Look, There was only one sound of thunder, and the fox fainted from fright."

It turned out that there was a sudden thunder explosion just now, and the little fox didn't even have time to blow its fur, and its eyes went dark, and it passed out, and it was already lying on the edge of the soft couch, and this loss of strength directly fell to the ground with a "slap".

Qingqiu
A deep mountainous area stretching for thousands of miles, with countless deep forests and valleys, and very little fertile soil that can be reclaimed. The poor mountains and rivers that this kind of people despise, but it is cheaper for some races, saving a lot of dust and disturbance, and enjoying it alone Qingfu.

A valley looked even more beautiful and precipitous from a distance. It was late spring at this time, and there were hundreds of foxes, big and small, chirping and playing, running in and out non-stop, so happy.

Suddenly, there was a muffled "boom". This sound was heard by human beings as wheels running over the bridge. It wasn't very scary, but the hundreds of foxes below all froze, and only heard the sound of "papa", Half of the young foxes couldn't help themselves and passed out.

In an instant, only a few dozen foxes, big and small, were left. Seeing that the sky was covered with dark clouds, the wind was strong, and the golden snake was electrified, and it seemed that more violent thunder was about to fall. The fox's skin was desperately dragged to the ground.

Not only that, but more than ten foxes sprang out, their bodies became several times larger, their heads were raised, their tails were waving in the wind, and fierceness flashed in their red eyes, trying to resist desperately.

Panlong Lake·Shuifu

Since the last time the imperial envoy offered sacrifices, although the canonization by the imperial court is still in dispute and has not been released, the water temple near Panlong Lake has been repaired, and the officials sacrificed it, which led the people to also offer incense, and the incense gradually flourished.

Benefiting from this, coupled with the appearance of the sea eye, the sea breeze blows from time to time, and the water mist hangs down on the pale golden sky of the Dragon Palace, rippling like water waves.

I saw the lights on both sides of the avenue gradually lighting up, one every few steps. Looking from a distance, the lights are scattered high and low, shining like golden stars. It is obvious that the dilapidated palace is slowly recovering, and there are water monsters working in the corridor from time to time, and it is full of prosperity.

Although it cannot be compared with hundreds of years ago, it has become much more prosperous than when it was first opened, which makes the water demon feel relieved.

At this time, the young dragon, under Bei Nu's watchful eyes, turned into a prototype, swimming in the sky, there was a faint cloud around it, occasionally crackled, and there were traces of lightning flashing.

"The wind follows the tiger, and the cloud follows the dragon."

Bei Nu was very pleased, the emergence of this situation meant that the young dragon was trying again to control the authority of the Dragon Lord, and it was making rapid progress, which is really gratifying.

Just thinking about it, suddenly the young dragon stopped playing, raised his head and let out a cry.

Bei Nu immediately understood, and was startled, calling out, "Where are all the demons?"

Before the words were finished, a large group of thunderclouds suddenly appeared above the pale golden sky of Dragon Palace, and then, a bolt of lightning fell involuntarily.

"Boom" Although the young dragon was vigilant, he was still struck, only to see a flash of thunder and fire, and the cloud instantly shattered.

Seeing this, Bei Nu was frightened and furious, and didn't bother to investigate what was going on, she immediately shouted: "Quickly, activate the Dragon Palace formation, and the demon soldiers line up immediately."
