It was late at night, and many of the gamblers in the casino were already losing money.
On a gambling table near the gate of the gambling house, there was a gambler wearing a black robe and a black veil. She kept throwing money on the gambling table, her eyes flickering.
A heart is pounding.
What just happened outside the gambling house was very exciting.
The content of the conversation between those two people was even more exciting.
It was so irritating that she was worried that she might be silenced.
She is Taoist Heavenly Sect Su Yuheng, and her identity in Chang'an City is 'Fairy Xuanji'.
"Emperor Qian is a lunatic. He actually dares to send people to kill the new disciples that Suzaku Academy values."
"Everyone in Suzaku Academy is more crazy than the other, and each one is more courageous than the other."
"It's too dangerous to stay here."
"I earned enough three hundred thousand..."
Just when he thought of this, Su Yuheng glanced at the chips in front of him, and his pretty face under the black gauze twitched slightly, "I'd better make enough 400,000."
In the afternoon, she quietly sold some jades given to her by Emperor Qian and exchanged them for one hundred thousand taels of silver notes.
In half a night, I almost lost everything.
"When can I be transferred?" Su Yuheng's pretty face fell a little.
…
Royal Palace, Xuanyi Hall.
Emperor Qian woke up from his nightmare, feeling a faint chill running down his back.
"Your Majesty." Li Xianyuan stood outside the palace and shouted quietly.
"What's the matter?" Emperor Qian sat up and asked in a deep voice.
Li Xianyuan said: "There is a knife that is broken."
Emperor Qian's expression suddenly changed, he immediately got dressed and walked out of the dormitory.
Royal study room.
"Say." Emperor Qian's face was ashen.
Li Xianyuan whispered: "Zhang Liang, the third gentleman of the academy, took action and killed Tu Wanfu with one blow."
"One sword?" Emperor Qian frowned and said coldly, "Isn't he known as the best swordsman in Jianzhou?"
Li Xianyuan remained silent.
How can the number one sword in Jianzhou compare to the sword from Suzaku Academy?
"Will this matter be suspected on my head?" Emperor Qian whispered, seeming to be asking Li Xianyuan, but also seemed to be asking himself.
Li Xianyuan hesitated: "Without direct evidence, even if the academy suspects it, nothing can be done."
"The relationship with the academy cannot be too tense for the time being." Emperor Qian said slowly.
"What does your Majesty mean?" Li Xianyuan asked.
Emperor Qian didn't say anything. He picked up the Langhao pen, dipped it in ink, and wrote half a word on the blank paper:
green.
Li Xianyuan understood instantly.
Qing, Zhang Qing's 'green'.
Get rid of his head!
"I'll do my humble job."
…
At the end of the night, dawn comes.
The early sun rises in the east, and the glow spreads thousands of miles.
Ping'an Square, Changlai Inn.
In the past two days, Xia Qingshan, Jiang Rou, and Xia Chuxue's family also stayed at the Changlai Inn.
Smoke has risen from the kitchen, and the aroma of meat buns fills the entire inn.
In the hotel lobby.
Chu Xiu, Ji Taoist, Jiang Rou, Xia Qingshan, Xia Chuxue and others sat around a dining table.
On the dining table, the breakfast is delicious, delicious and generous, fully catering for someone's appetite.
Chu Xiu knew that the reason why the breakfast was so rich was because he was about to take the technical exam.
This is a reward before the exam.
"Actually..." Chu Xiu grinned after eating a meat bun in one bite, "I don't plan to take the technical test."
"..."
There was a sudden silence at the dinner table.
The proprietresses Mo Shaoyun and Zhu Yourong, who were dining in the kitchen, also stopped moving their hands.
"You brat, what do you want to do?" The wine connoisseur looked sideways at Chu Xiu.
Chu Xiu smiled and said: "I have won two of the three final exams, so there is no need to take the technical exam again."
"Wouldn't it be better to win three times in three trials?" Jiang Rou looked at Chu Xiu. As far as she knew, the technical examination allowed the candidates to demonstrate their own skills and not to fight, so there was no safety concern. .
Chu Xiu shook his head, thought for a while, found a reason, and whispered: "I met the third Mr. Zhang Liang last night, and he told me that he has a very bad temper."
Everyone was startled and instantly understood who 'that' was referring to.
"Then?" the wine connoisseur asked.
"I have won two games in a row. If I win this last game again..." Chu Xiu sighed, "I'm afraid I'll be tricked in the future."
"..."
Everyone suddenly realized.
It turns out that this is what I was worried about.
Xia Qingshan understood instantly, and suggested in a deep voice: "You can pretend to lose to that one in the technical test."
"My uncle is joking," Chu Xiu said leisurely, "How can a most popular candidate with a talent like me lose to others so easily?"
Everyone was speechless.
After these days of getting along, they all understood Chu Xiu's temperament and knew that this man looked calm and humble, but in fact he had a strong desire to win.
After meal.
Chu Xiu went to Zhu Yourong and the proprietress, "Send me to Zhuque Academy first, and then take the technical exam."
As he spoke, he winked at the two women.
Zhu Yourong and the landlady were both moved.
"Okay." Zhu Yourong nodded.
"I always feel like this guy is going to cause trouble again." The wine master sitting in the lobby took a sip of wine.
Two carriages drove out of Ping'an Fang, one heading west to participate in the final technical test; the other heading east to Zhuque Academy.
In the carriage heading east.
"Capture the Apocalypse Sword today." Chu Xiu looked at the proprietress Mo Shaoyun and said slowly.
Mo Shaojun's eyes suddenly condensed.
Zhu Yourong, who was driving, couldn't calm down anymore.
"You stayed anonymously in Chang'an City. You should have found out the specific location of the Apocalypse Sword in the palace, right?" Chu Xiu asked.
The landlady suppressed her surprise and nodded slightly.
"The guards there are extremely tight." Zhu Yourong, who was driving the car, whispered, "There is also a powerful old eunuch guarding the palace."
"As long as you know the place." Chu Xiu looked confident and asked, "Besides the Apocalypse Sword, what else do you want?"
"What...what do you want to do?" the landlady couldn't help but ask.
"The weather is refreshing today, so it's time to step on the golden luan." Chu Xiu said leisurely.
"It's better to step on the golden luan?" The expressions of the landlady and Zhu Yourong changed after they understood the meaning of these four words.
"Change the route to Chengtian Gate." Chu Xiu ordered.
Zhu Yourong suppressed the surprise in his heart, silently turned the horse's head and drove towards the Chengtian Gate of the Imperial Palace.
Chengtianmen is the main entrance of the palace. It is only opened when hundreds of officials go to court every day.
The carriage made a half circle around Chang'an City, drove up Zhuque Street, and headed towards Chengtian Gate.
The closer to the palace, the more majestic and majestic the buildings on both sides of Zhuque Street become. The yamen of the three provinces and six departments were all built on both sides of Zhuque Street near the palace.
When it arrived at the outer palace gate, guards from the Forbidden Army came out and stopped the carriage.
Chu Xiu half-lifted the curtain, glanced at the Forbidden Army general outside the carriage, and then lowered the curtain, "Stop here first and give them some time to prepare."
When the Forbidden Army general saw Xio's appearance clearly, his expression suddenly changed.
Zhu Yourong, who was driving the car, and the proprietress in the carriage both felt a little uneasy.
In fact, until this moment, they were still a little confused. They didn't know what was going on with Chu Xiu and why he suddenly wanted to come to the palace.
On the gold and silver table.
Emperor Qian, Queen Anrong, Su Yuheng, Li Xianyuan and others had arrived at this high platform early in the morning, waiting for the start of the final technical test.
"Your Majesty, Chu Xiu is outside Anren's gate." Li Xianyuan whispered after receiving the news.
Emperor Qian's pupils narrowed and he sneered: "What does he want to do?"
Li Xianyuan remained silent.
Just then…
A domineering sword intent covered the entire gold and silver platform.
A tall figure, approaching from far away, seemed to have arrived at the foot of the gold and silver platform in the blink of an eye.
The third gentleman of the academy, Zhang Liang with a mad sword.
Zhang Liang didn't raise his head, walked indifferently through the gold and silver platform, and strode towards the palace.
Emperor Qian clenched his fists and his face became extremely gloomy.
At the same time, I felt a little nervous.
Guilty!
"With Dean Feng in the Suzaku Academy, even the supreme emperor has to lower his head." Su Yuheng held his breath and sighed.
The Emperor Qian next to him seemed to be arrogant, but in fact, when facing the Suzaku Academy, he looked fierce but was very angry.
"Your Majesty, do you want to go back to the palace?" Li Xianyuan asked hesitantly.
