"Who are you?"
Mr. Wang is irritable and gets angry with everyone he sees.
He looked at Lin Qing and warned, "Is that man your friend? Let him go quickly! Don't make any mistakes when you just come back. You are not allowed to chat or go out while on duty. You will have to go to Zhaixing Tower to help me later. I’m asking for some information!”
Lin Qing ignored him, but slowly turned around and looked at the young figure at the door.
Under the sun, Xu Xingmu was holding a white horse and stood quietly with a smile.
After running all night and being dusty, his long sleeves and hem were already covered with mud, and the soles of his shoes were wet from the white horse crossing the river, making him look a little embarrassed.
But he was still in high spirits, and there was no sign of fatigue between his brows and eyes. Especially when he saw Lin Qing, his tense mood finally relaxed.
It was a joyful thing to arrive at the Hanlin Academy successfully and see Brother Lin after a long absence, but who is that fierce old man in the mansion? He looks very difficult to get along with.
"Brother Xu."
Lin Qing opened her hands and walked over, hugging Xu Xingmu under Mr. Wang's glare.
At this time, Lin Qing was very happy, even ecstatic.
However, since entering the sixth-level Confucianism and Taoism cultivation realm, his emotions have always been passive and stable. Even if there are great emotional ups and downs, he will quickly calm down under the rules of the cultivation realm.
"Lin Qing, do you still have any rules?"
Mr. Wang's face turned livid and he shouted angrily, "Did you hear what I said?"
"Who is this?"
Xu Xingmu was a little nervous. People said that scholars in the Hanlin Academy were pedantic, but they didn't say that they had bad tempers.
Why is this old man screaming here so early in the morning? It's so embarrassing.
"He is the Hanlin scholar Wang Zhihuan."
Lin Qing responded first to Xu Xingmu, and his tone was very calm, as if he didn't take Master Wang's words to heart at all.
This made Mr. Wang very angry. He took a deep breath and was about to start spraying. But before he could spit out the fragrance, Lin Qing's voice sounded again, "Sir, this is Xu Xingmu, the real author of that excellent poem." author."
As soon as these words were spoken, the Imperial Academy fell into a state of absolute tranquility.
Countless pairs of eyes fell here, with a trace of desire in their nakedness, which made Xu Xingmu feel a little uncomfortable.
Mr. Wang's expression changed countless times in an instant.
From the initial anger, to the shock, then to the ecstasy and excitement, it gradually evolved into a short-term madness, and finally, under the terrible self-control, it transformed into an unusual calm.
coming! He's finally here! Lin Qing, Lin Qing! You guys are really good! …A voice roared deep in Mr. Wang’s heart.
But he still looked quite calm on the surface and just nodded, "Xu Xingmu, very good, you are here...I heard from Lin Qing that you really want to join our Hanlin Academy?"
Didn't you beg me to come? …Xu Xingmu’s face was filled with questions. He looked at Lin Qing, “Do I want to, or don’t I?”
"No matter if you think about it or not, now that you're here, don't mess around. Just stay calm."
Mr. Wang hurriedly said, "You are a special recruit this time, so you can join the job first, and then go to the staff department to go through the formalities... Hmm, have you brought the imperial edict?"
"Bring it!"
Xu Xingmu quickly took out the imperial edict and handed it over, "Why do you want the imperial edict?"
Lin Qing explained, "Because it is a special recruitment, you do not have the paperwork and transfer certificate for taking office. No matter which department you go to take office, you must first produce the imperial edict to prove your identity."
"That means that if the imperial edict is lost, I will not be able to take office or be transferred?"
Xu Xingmu asked.
"That's the theory."
Lin Qing said, "But if you lose the imperial edict, don't mention taking office or transferring, just go to the execution ground."
At this moment, Mr. Wang suddenly put the imperial edict away and stuffed it into his long sleeves, "Lin Qing is right, you must not throw away this edict. You must keep it properly, otherwise you will lose your head. You have just arrived in the capital, and you will not know anything about it." If you don’t understand, please let me keep it for you.”
He didn't give Xu Xingmu a chance to refuse, and continued to order, "The house rewarded by His Majesty has not yet been approved, so you will live with Lin Qing for the time being. Do you have any money? If you don't have money to spend, ask Lin Qing for it. When the time comes, Please contact me for verification."
Lin Qing reminded, "Sir, you haven't cashed in the previous eight thousand taels."
"Definitely next time."
Mr. Wang confirmed the ticket, then waved his hand, "Go back first, Lin Qing, and I will give you a day off. Take him around the capital, buy some clothes, and eat some specialties of the capital. The journey is hard, but it is worth tens of millions of dollars." Be well entertained.”
"Sir, don't you need to arrange a task first?"
Xu Xingmu said, "I have to familiarize myself with the daily procedures of the Hanlin Academy first."
"Not urgent."
Mr. Wang said, "We are not doing anything these days, and we have stopped all the work at hand, and we are dedicated to appreciating the song "White Clothes Win the Snow, Respectfully Inviting the Sword Master to Drop the Sword of Tai'an City" with you... I believe it is written by you. With the author joining us, we will definitely gain new insights, and maybe it can point the way for future poetry.”
Xu Xingmu was stunned. Are you serious? Appreciate poetry?
Is the learning atmosphere in Hanlin Academy so strong?
Mr. Wang explained a few more words in detail, just asking Lin Qing to fulfill his duty as a landlord, and to make Xu Xingmu feel the enthusiasm and respect of the Hanlin Academy, so that he could stay here with all his heart.
After saying that, he left, as if he was going to the palace to show off.
Xu Xingmu, the world-famous first poet in Daxia poetry, joined the Hanlin Academy. This was undoubtedly explosive news.
Especially before he came to the Hanlin Academy, he had personally rejected dignitaries from the imperial court such as the Sixth Department of the Imperial City and the Marquis Mansion, and he did not even give him the face of the Heavenly Master and the Pope.
But now he has traveled thousands of miles to join the low-key Hanlin Academy voluntarily. This Lord Wang has a bright face!
If he didn't go to the palace and get a tug, how could he be worthy of the travel and fatigue he had spent these days?
"Master Wang, he is quite interesting."
Xu Xingmu laughed dryly.
"A bit stingy, plus people tend to lose their temper when they get older, so they save face."
Lin Qing concluded and quickly added, "It's great for us."
The two chatted for a few words and then walked out of the house.
The capital was bustling, and when Xu Xingmu first arrived, he could hardly tell which way was to go to the Hanlin Academy.
Fortunately, the white horse had a good understanding of human nature. I tried to say the words "Hanlin Academy" to it, and it actually led me to the exact place.
It is indeed a good horse!
Speaking of the white horse, Xu Xingmu couldn't help but think of Lin Wanqing in a white dress, and felt a little sluggish for some reason.
Walking on the bustling street outside the city, Lin Qing suddenly said, "I haven't seen you for a few days. I didn't expect you, Brother Xu, to have entered the world of cultivation. It seems that you are in the martial arts system. No, you have sword breath in your body. Brother Xu, you are good at swordsmanship!"
"You discovered this!"
Xu Xingmu asked curiously, "How can you tell?"
Li Qing pointed to his own eyes, "Confucianism has a keen eye and can see through the true heart. Of course, this is only limited to people whose grades are lower than his own."
Xu Xingmu said "Oh" and recounted last night's experience of the sword master passing on the swordsmanship and then rushing to the snowfield.
"I didn't expect that a strange poem could have such a great connection with Master Sword Master!"
Lin Qing sighed a few times, then frowned and fell into worry, "Dean Kong was trapped in the snowfield for several days, not knowing whether he was alive or dead. No one in the Great Xia Dynasty dared to save him. Unexpectedly, it was the Sword Master, an outsider, who chose to take action in the end, saying It seems a bit ironic."
"Do you think they can come back alive?"
Xu Xingmu suddenly asked.
Lin Qing hesitated for a long time, and finally said, "A strong first-level swordsman, especially one who practices swordsmanship, can fight much better than first-level swordsmen from other systems. The dean has already reached the upper level, and his strength is even more unfathomable. . If these two people join forces, even the powerful Demon Lord shouldn't be able to withstand it, right?"
Having said that, his tone was obviously less confident.
The two walked side by side, the atmosphere was no longer as joyful and comfortable as when they met, and a cloud of sadness gradually enveloped them.
Passing by a Rouge Restaurant, there was a tavern on the corner. Lin Qing was just about to take Xu Xingmu in for a few drinks, but a woman's frightened scream suddenly came from the Rouge Restaurant that she had just passed.
The two stepped into the tavern and quickly retracted their steps. When they looked up, they saw a beautiful girl rushing out of Rouge Tower crying.
A huge tear had been ripped open in the thin skirt of her upper body, half of her shoulders were exposed, her breasts were also looming, her face was covered with tears and a look of fear, and there was a shocking red slap mark on her right cheek. He just escaped from an attempted assault.
A young man followed closely behind him. He was dressed in rich clothes, with a handsome face, and a bookish air all over his body. He looked polite, but at this moment, his eyes were full of boundless anger and evil thoughts, making him a typical gentleman and scum.
I didn’t expect that under the emperor’s feet, there would be such a thing as violating civilian girls in the street!
Xu Xingmu was shocked. From this point of view, Taoyuan County really has simple folk customs!
Seeing that the young man had already caught up with the girl, he rushed over and gave her another slap, "You little slut! I'll let you run!"
"Let me go! Let me go! Help! Come and save me!"
The girl's face was full of shame and anger, she was worse than dead, her hands kept scratching, and the screams from her mouth were extremely miserable, but when it fell into the ears of the young master, it became the most effective aphrodisiac.
"I'll be on the bed later, and you'll be calling me!"
The young master's face was full of excitement, and he slapped her again. This time, the girl was slapped too hard, and she was knocked unconscious. However, he didn't care, grabbed her hair and walked towards Rouge Tower.
What will happen next is self-evident.
There were people looking around along the way, but he pointed at them and threatened them, "What are you looking at? Let's see you doing it together!"
The strange thing is that the soldiers patrolling the nearby long street turned a blind eye to this scene and stayed away.
I think this young man has quite a lot of background.
"Let that girl go!"
Xu Xingmu finally couldn't bear it anymore. He took a step forward and stopped at the door of Rouge Tower.
Lin Qing shook her head and followed.
He knew he was in trouble.
Because he recognized the young master... Liang Xiao, the only son of Wu Linghou of Daxia Dynasty.
