Entering the mountain gate, you will see two lush green grasslands.
The elegant and fragrant fragrance of Yaocao permeates every place, penetrates the nose and throat, and feels relaxed and happy.
Looking up slightly, the two green lakes are like two green pictures, reflecting the beautiful scenery on the shore.
Further ahead, the bluestone path ushered in a huge square. In the center of the square, there was a lifelike white jade statue that was six feet high.
There are twelve tall buildings scattered around the square.
There are small pavilions, rockery stone bridges, and Champs Elysees towers, like stars, dotted around the tall buildings.
As far as the eye can see, a green mountain shrouded in clouds and mist can be seen.
The group of people walked forward along the bluestone path and arrived at the square.
The candidates who passed the preliminary examination are all here, lining up to receive something.
The arrival of Chu Xiu and his party instantly attracted the attention of all the candidates.
They are so famous these days.
Among the candidates, many of them had been beaten by six people including Chu Xiu and Meng Xiaochuan.
"Congratulations, Brother Meng, for ranking eleventh on the Fuyao List." A young candidate shouted with a smile.
Meng Xiaochuan's face turned dark and he silently remembered the examinee who had just spoken.
"I'm eleven, are you on the list?" Under the white jade statue, an old man with a white beard hummed.
The young candidate lowered his head and blushed.
Meng Xiaochuan's expression softened a lot, and he lined up at the back of the queue on the far right with Chu Xiu and others.
"Do we really want to enter the academy and become disciples?" the landlady asked in a low voice, and she lined up behind Chu Xiu.
Zhu Yourong whispered: "The matter has come to this, I can only become an academy disciple first."
The one who felt similar to these two people was Zuo Chong.
Ever since he got engaged to Pei Yuxian, he never thought about becoming a disciple of Suzaku Academy.
Right now, there is a queue here.
"Do you really want to stay here?"
Zuo Chong was in a daze.
The voice and smile of the little fairy Pei Yuxian appeared in my mind for a while, and the lonely figure of Li Xianyuan appeared in my mind.
The queue formed quickly.
"Name, place of birth." In front of a desk, a middle-aged man in white clothes, holding a brush, raised his eyes and asked.
"Jingyun, Jingzhou." Jingyun said softly.
"Jingyun." The middle-aged man in white showed a smile on his face. After recording Jingyun's name and place of origin in the long book, he handed Jingyun an identity token.
"Have a day off tomorrow and climb the mountain early the day after tomorrow."
"good."
Jing Yun walked away from the team.
Meng Xiaochuan, Huitong, Chu Xiu, the proprietress and others received their identity tokens one after another.
"Is this an identity token prepared in advance?"
Chu Xiufeng muttered, the identity token had the word 'Suzaku' engraved on the front and his name on the back.
The middle-aged man responsible for issuing identity tokens seemed to have known them in advance.
Including the identity tokens of the frequent inn proprietress and the 'cold-faced man', the names were also engraved in advance.
"Is everything okay after receiving the identity token?" the landlady asked in a low voice. She looked around and found that the candidates had left the academy gate.
"The mountain climbing the day after tomorrow is the Inner Court Assessment." Zuo Chong introduced, "There are many talented people who want to become Inner Court or even Back Mountain disciples. If they fail to pass the Inner Court Assessment, they may not stay in Suzaku. Academy.
Therefore, the academy usually waits until the inner court assessment is completed before arranging disciples from the outer court. "
"That's it." The landlady understood.
"This identity token is similar to Mr. Chu's Vermillion Bird Token. In recent days, no one dares to mess with the candidates who have passed the academy's preliminary examination." Zuo Chong said with a smile.
Then he added, "The premise is that you don't take the initiative to cause trouble."
"If you don't cause trouble, I'm afraid something will trouble you." Meng Xiaochuan sneered and stared ahead.
A group of people came over.
The leader is dressed in green clothes.
He has a tall and slender figure and a cold and handsome appearance.
At his waist, there was a long sword hanging with seven gems of different colors on the scabbard.
"Wang Quan smiled." Zuo Chong whispered.
"It's him..." Chu Xiu raised his eyebrows slightly.
Wang Quan smiled and the group stopped two feet in front of Chu Xiu and others.
"Chu Xiu?" Wang Quan looked at Chu Xiu with a smile, his eyes not containing any warmth.
Chu Xiu nodded, "It's me."
"Have you ever been defeated?" Wang Quan asked with a smile.
Chu Xiu's head tilted slightly, "If you become a disciple of the Back Mountain School, will you call Mr. Er uncle, or will you call him Mr. Second Brother?"
Wang Quan smiled, frowned, and said calmly: "In the academy, I call you Second Senior Brother; when you leave the academy, you call me Uncle."
"This is too troublesome." Chu Xiu smiled.
Wang Quan smiled and said, "You haven't answered my question yet."
"Why do you ask this?" Chu Xiu said.
Wang Quan smiled and said proudly: "If you have been defeated, you are not worthy of fighting me."
Chu Xiu smiled and said, "I think you should go to Old Man Tianji and ask him why he ranked me in front of you."
Wang Quan smiled and his expression faded.
"If you want to fight, you'll have a chance in the final trial." Chu Xiu continued, "You take the initiative to come to me, it's a shame."
"You will be defeated, defeated by my sword." Wang Quan smiled and said lightly, "When the time comes, I will say your words, 'The enemy is defeated in my hands'..."
"I'm looking forward to it." Chu Xiu smiled, "When I become your uncle's junior brother, I will teach you swordsmanship."
Wang Quan smiled and stared at Chu Xiu for a while, then walked away.
"Arrogance is a bit arrogant, but it's not too annoying." Wen Yi commented.
Zuo Chong nodded and said: "Wang Quan Yixiao's reputation is pretty good. When competing with others, I usually end up hitting the number one point."
"Why do I think he is so annoying?" Meng Xiaochuan snorted. Wang Quan just smiled and just stared at Chu Xiu, completely ignoring him.
"Let's go have a drink." Gu Chensha suggested with a smile.
"good."
…
Zhuque Academy.
Back mountain.
On a high pavilion.
Mr. Wang Quan, the second gentleman, stood outside the door, reporting on how he played chess with Emperor Qian.
"Disciple feels that he wants to cause trouble." Mr. Second muttered.
in the room.
Chen Changsheng sat on the rocking chair and said quietly: "In fact, I have long lost the interest in dealing with these things."
"Disciple understands." A look of respect appeared on the second gentleman's face.
"The emperors of Daqian all think about either power or sex." Chen Changsheng said with emotion, "This little guy can't bear any grievance.
Fifteen years ago, if you snatched food from a tiger's mouth, he would remember you forever. "
The second gentleman didn’t take it seriously, “So what?”
"This has caused great harm to the boy named Zuo." Chen Changsheng said, "The little guy can't do anything to you, so he has transferred all his hatred to the boy named Zuo."
"Zuo Chong..." Mr. Second frowned.
Chen Changsheng said: "In some time, I may travel far away, and the academy will be left to you."
The second gentleman's face changed slightly.
"Are you looking for Senior Brother?" Mr. Second hesitated.
Chen Changsheng smiled and said, "Why are you looking for him? That kid has no way of finding his way. He keeps spinning in circles like a fool."
"What do you want?" The second gentleman frowned slightly.
Chen Changsheng smiled and said: "I want to enjoy the scenery once more in Chang'an City before I consider leaving. This period of time can be regarded as a test for you."
Mr. Er said respectfully: "This disciple only wants to be with Master and has no interest in running the academy."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, it's a pity that you are too old." Chen Changsheng said sarcastically.
The second gentleman's face turned a little dark, and he thought to himself: No matter how old I am, can I still be as old as you?
Of course, I would definitely not dare to say this.
"Go back, just treat me as if I have left." Chen Changsheng closed his eyes and the rocking chair rocked.
"yes."
…
Imperial Palace, Qingming Hall.
"Father, mother, you must avenge your son." Prince Ji Li Yuanhua was lying on the bed, his face as red and swollen as a pig's head, full of resentment.
Queen An Rong sat beside the bed, her delicate brows furrowed.
"Just bear with it." Emperor Qian said, "Don't think about dealing with him before the exam is over."
"But Erchen is not willing to accept it." Li Yuanhua gritted his teeth and said, "His slap on Erchen's face with the sole of his shoe is any different from beating his father and mother."
"You are too ostentatious." Queen An Rong said.
Li Yuanhua said in a low voice: "This time, my father arranged for his son to block the bridge."
Queen Anrong glanced at Emperor Qian.
Emperor Qian's face was expressionless, "Chu Xiu has Dean Feng's Suzaku Order in his hand, and he can't deal with it for the time being."
"What about Zuo Chong?" Li Yuanhua said quickly, "That bastard Zuo Chong was also there, and he pointed a gun at my son."
"Zuo Chong..." Emperor Qian's eyes darkened.
Queen An Rong reminded: "Although the academy has not stated it clearly, they have been protecting Zuo Chong."
Emperor Qian smiled.
"How dare I touch the people protected by the academy?"
Emperor Qian sneered, turned and left.
Li Yuanhua was delighted and a smile appeared on his face.
He knew that this time, his father would not be as kind to Zuo Chong as in the past!
"Are you happy?" Queen An Rong glanced at Li Yuanhua.
Li Yuanhua immediately shook his head, "My son is in pain, how can he be happy?"
"Why do you always want to be hostile to the Academy? Isn't it good to live in peace?" Queen An Rong said softly.
"Our Daqian royal family should be supreme, but Suzaku Academy has always stood over our Daqian royal family." Li Yuanhua said in a dull voice, "How can we live in peace in this situation?"
"Then why don't you think about why they can stand on the head of the royal family?" Queen An Rong shook her head, stood up and left.
Li Yuanhua stared at Queen An Rong's back and secretly clenched his fists.
This queen mother has never looked at him!
