Chapter 369

Imperial City Palace Examination
The emperor frowned slightly. Although it was just dawn, there were still stars in the sky not long ago, and it could be seen that it was sunny. At this moment, there was a sudden thunder, which was really sudden.

Thunder in the clear sky, or at this time, is really not a good sign.

Now let Mr. Zhao go out to check the situation.

Seeing the gloomy face on the emperor's face, Eunuch Zhao was taken aback, hurriedly ran out, stood at the gate of the hall, and looked up at the sky.

I saw that the sky was originally clear, but at this moment, dark clouds have arrived. With the thunder, the raindrops are crackling, and there is a sudden rain.

Eunuch Zhao turned back to report, and found that the emperor who had listened to the report did not respond immediately, but looked down deeply.

Already standing in the hall, they all lowered their heads slightly, not daring to look up at the three tribute students, all waiting for the emperor to speak and announce the start of the palace examination.

Although the sound of thunder and rain outside was disturbing, it had to be said that the sudden movement made some Gong Sheng, who were a little nervous, heaved a sigh of relief.

If it was extremely quiet outside and inside, it would make them even more uneasy. There was thunder and rain, but there was no thunderous heartbeat or heavy breathing.

The emperor's gaze was only cursory on others, but he took a deep look at the young man standing in front.

The young man probably did not sleep well last night for the imperial examination, his face was a little pale, and the circles around his eyes were a little dark, but he seemed to be in good spirits, that's all, but when he caught his eyes, it seemed to match the shadow of a person.

"Fu'er!" The sound was almost out of his mouth, and he was shocked.

It's not just his appearance, but his calm and unhurried appearance, which is very similar.

At that time, I also had a deep look at the prince in this way, seeing that he is famous, calm, and has the youth that I have gradually lost.

But now, I am older than ten years ago, and the young man in front of me is only 17 years old. It is the time when he is young and has infinite possibilities.

So high-spirited, like ah, really like!

"The palace examination begins—" Eunuch Zhao waited carefully, seeing the emperor suddenly showing a tired look, glanced at himself, immediately understood, and announced.

Then it was discovered that the emperor did not stay here, but turned and left.

In fact, although the emperor only needs to go through the stage during the palace examination and does not need to wait for the end of the palace examination, some emperors often go down when they need talents to see how the tributes are answering the questions on the spot.

But obviously, the emperor was old and had already passed the time of urgently seeking talents, so he only went through a cutscene and then left.

The scene was presided over by the Grand Scholars and the officials of the Ministry of Rituals. They entered the tables and chairs one by one, and prepared pens, ink, paper and inkstones. The Grand Scholars waited for everyone to sit down, and said loudly: "Everyone, this palace examination is limited to one day, and there will be someone at noon." Meals are brought, but no noise or whispering is allowed."

"This palace test, start!"

"The topic of the palace examination is that governing a big country is like cooking a small fish?" Su Ziji memorized the topic, but then he couldn't help punching his mouth, coughed, and felt his throat sweet.

"The thunder just now came so strangely, could it be that someone plotted against me!" Su Ziji thought to himself, but right now, he must first successfully complete the imperial examination.

Forcibly swallowing the fishy sweetness that came up, Su Ziji forced himself to gather his mind and think about the problem.

Capital · Zhou Mansion
Zhou Yao is in the boudoir, this room is not big, but very elegant, there is a small bookcase not far away, there is still a jade flute hanging, and there is a qin in the south, she herself sits in front of the qin, picks the sound carefully, and thinks from time to time .

At this time, there was a muffled thunder, and the color of the piano changed immediately, and the sound of the piano immediately became chaotic.

Seeing this, the maid at the side thought that his lady was frightened, so she hurriedly said: "Miss, you have already played a few songs, and seeing the wind and rain, if you continue to play, the sound of the piano will only be disturbed by the thunder, why not take advantage of this time , go to the inner room to take a nap?"

Zhou Yao originally wanted to refuse, but a voice sounded in her heart, she changed her mind, and went to lie down on the couch in the inner room, the curtain was gently lowered, Zhou Yao lay there, recalling the shock of the mysterious voice in her heart just now: "Hey, this What is it? The secret is changing?"

The same question was asked, and there were two groups of people, Yu Qianzhi and Liu Zhan, who were sitting in the city, raised their heads in shock when the thunder sounded together.

Naturally, their cultivation could feel the change immediately.

In the eyes of ordinary people, it was just a sudden spring rain and spring thunder, but what they saw here was the turbulence of the dragon and the chaos of the sky.

It's not for them to intervene in how the chance changes. The only thing they can do is to wait for the result.

Outside the city, on a hill, with a Taoist boy, stood on a high place against the wind, Master Xie, standing with his arms folded, looking up at the sky, although his expression was not shocked, but his complexion was already deep, and his eyes were full of dignity.

"The secret...is it going to change?"

Such a mysterious change came so suddenly that he, who wanted to see Lin Yuqing's results, didn't bother to move any more, just stood here and looked at the sky quietly.

"Could this be Lin Yuqing's counterattack method? No, it's probably just a coincidence."

city ​​gate

The city gate just opened ushered in the first wave of outbound teams, except for the sound of hooves and wheels crushing the ground, there was no other movement.

There seemed to be no one in the bullock carts, but in fact, everyone was full of thoughts and no one talked to each other.

A follower handed the money to the guards of the city gate, and let them go without checking.

After all, the checks are always strict when entering the city, and loose when going out.

Unless there is a criminal to be arrested temporarily on some day, then he will pay attention to the inspection, so as not to let people mix into the crowd and escape out of the city. Usually, they are not so strict.

Lin Yuqing's motorcade left in a low-key way.

When he was far away from the city gate, Lin Yuqing ordered the team to be suspended, and got out of the car and went to the back of an ox cart.

Inside this ox cart, there was a man dressed like an ordinary person, thin and dry. After he got up, he opened his eyelids, glanced at him, and cupped his hands very carefully: "Young master."

Lin Yuqing was not annoyed, and just smiled: "Master Yan, are you ready? Now that you have left the capital, please ask Master Yan to practice before boarding the boat. With that hair, Master Yan, you should not miss it, right?"

The man called Master Yan smiled and said, "Young master, don't worry, I, Yan Qingqing, is also a wizard of the Yan family. How can I be ashamed of my inheritance for hundreds of years?"

"Hmph, as long as you have this hair, let alone a tribute, officials below the third rank, it's not a problem for him to die!" Yan Lianqing boasted.

Although at this time Su Ziji might be taking part in the imperial examination in the imperial palace, there would be a great hindrance to casting spells, after all, this is the imperial city, and it has always been blessed by dragon energy.

But even if there is backlash, it will be backlash on the owner of this hair, and the wizard is not afraid.

Besides, I just need to be perfunctory, do I really think I want to work hard?Yan Lianqing sneered: "As long as you don't forget your promise."

Lin Yuqing saw that the Provocateur Act came into effect, and smiled: "I made a promise, and when I return to China, I have to rely more on Master Yan. How dare I break my promise?"
