Liu Fengnian smiled and touched his stubble: "You'd better be more successful in the next palace examination. I also want to be like Lao Gao and enter the temple to study."
Xu Que raised his head and looked at Liu Fengnian: "Lao Gao went to the temple?"
"Not yet. The Holy Will of Unhappiness should come down soon, probably within the next few days."
Xu Chuanmao nodded, as long as he could meet again, it would be fine. After all, he still wanted to thank him for protecting the Xu family.
"Don't worry, if I get the Holy Jinshi, I will definitely let you in." Xu Que said with a smile.
"Okay, you said this, so I'll be waiting for your good news!"
Liu Fengnian was very happy with Xu Que's attitude. Let's not talk about whether Xu Que could pass the Jinshi examination, but he did receive this sentiment.
After Xu Que and Liu Fengnian chatted for a while, Xu Que respectfully said goodbye. After all, he came here to find out how the temple planned to deal with those radical Beimang students, and secondly, what was the dagger? .
When Xu Que returned to the guild hall and was about to enter, his peripheral vision was attracted by someone.
To be precise, Xu Que was attracted by the other party's outfit. This person was none other than Chen Jichong!
"Master Xu!" Chen Jichong bowed respectfully, without the arrogance of the past.
"Hey, how could Mr. Chen be so downcast?" Xu Que joked with a smile.
"Xu Que, I'm like this now, can you..."
Before Chen Jichong could finish his words, Xu Que waved his hand and interrupted: "No! You are from Beimang and I am from Dayan. Moreover, how did you scheme against me before and how did the Chen family deal with me? Could it be that you forgot?"
Hearing Xu Que's words, Chen Jichong knelt down without saying a word: "Master Xu, I know that I was not a human before. As long as you don't destroy my literary foundation, I can do anything you ask me to do!"
Xu Que smiled, and he smiled very happily, because this was what he was waiting for!
"You said this, I didn't force you!" Xu Que squatted down with a smile and looked at Chen Jichong carefully.
"Yes, this is what I said. As long as you let me go, I am willing to do anything for you." Chen Jichong quickly confirmed his answer again.
"Very good, but I don't like your outfit very much." Xu Que patted Chen Jichong on the shoulder: "I will give you some silver later, and you can change back to your old clothes. After all, you will also be Beimang in the future. official!"
Xu Que's words instantly made Chen Jichong understand something, but he looked at Xu Que with disbelief: "You are not going to let me..."
"Brother Chen, there are some things you can't say. Just understand it yourself." Xu Que said in Chen Jichong's ear: "I will give you money regularly every month. As for the price, you will know later. of!"
"Xu... No, Master, are you working for King Bai?" Chen Jichong asked carefully.
"Him?" Xu Que smiled, patted Chen Jichong and said, "You only do things for me, and who do I do it for? I guess there is no one in this world yet..."
Chen Jichong couldn't understand what Xu Que meant. In his mind, since Xu Que was not working for the emperor, he could only work for other vassal kings? But Xu Que said that he looked down on those feudal kings at all, which made him confused.
"Okay, you don't have to guess, you will understand in the future." Xu Que took out three banknotes: "These are your funds. When I don't assign tasks, you can play whatever you want, and I will do whatever you want to do with your life." I can’t control it anymore. But there is one thing, if I find out that you failed the mission, I will make your life worse than death!"
Xu Que's soft knife shocked Chen Jichong. He never expected that Xu Que was an unpredictable monster!
Chen Jichong took the banknote tremblingly: "How will I inform you if I get news?"
"Before you become a Jinshi, you don't need to contact me, and I won't contact you!"
After Xu Que finished speaking, he stood up and walked into the guild hall.
Chen Jichong closed his eyes and clutched the banknote in his hand. When he opened his eyes again, his whole aura returned to its previous state.
…
As night gradually fell, Xu Que and the others bid farewell to Chang Shi, and then returned to Zheyang County.
Xu Que was very curious about Murong Yao's Baiyun magic weapon, because this thing was really fast... completely crushing his flying speed of lifting people.
"Want one?"
Xu Que glanced at Murong Yao and quickly shook his head: "No, I think it's pretty good now."
Xu Que didn't dare to ask for this thing. Who knew what the price would be, so he simply gave up the thought.
"I really didn't realize that you still have something you don't want." Murong Yao smiled and looked at Xu Que, as if she had discovered something extraordinary.
Xu Que was speechless, is that that kind of person? Will he be the kind of person who would take a bite of the excrement of others who pass by him? …
Xu Fan looked at the passing military camp below and said, "It seems that the Beimang army may attack the city tomorrow."
"Well, almost." Xu Que nodded in agreement: "However, I think it should be. Someone may be able to come tonight."
"Who?" Murong Yao asked curiously.
Xu Que and Xu Fan looked at each other and said in unison: "Prince Beimang, Kang Xingye!"
Murong Yao was so shocked that she almost lost her balance and escaped the control of the magic weapon.
"Do you need to be so surprised?" Xu Que asked speechlessly.
"Why did he come to you? Could it be..."
"It's not what you think. When he arrives, you will understand."
After hearing Xu Que's answer, Murong Yao said nothing, but she was still very curious in her heart. She felt that Xu Que had too many secrets, and no one else had as many secrets as this guy...
When Xu Que and the others returned to the Xu Mansion, the place had already been decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and countless people poured into the Xu Mansion as if they were celebrating the New Year.
"First Master, Second Master, the two young masters are back!" Uncle Liu shouted happily.
Hearing that Xu Fan and Xu Que were back, the two brothers Xu Maofeng and Xu Maocai quickly put down their wine glasses and walked out of the main hall wine table. There were many people following them, including the county governor Mo Dongsheng.
"I have met my uncle and my father." Xu Que and Xu Fan bowed together.
"Haha, okay, you are really the Qilin of my Xu family!" Xu Maofeng came to Xu Que with a laugh and patted Xu Que heavily on the shoulder.
This hurt Xu Que so much that he gritted his teeth...
"Just come back, I'll just wait for you two." Xu Maocai smiled and patted Xu Fan, then looked at Xu Que with satisfaction and said, "I'll go to the ancestral hall later and burn incense to our ancestors."
"Yes!" Xu Que and Xu Fan saluted in unison.
"These two wise nephews are really the light of our Zheyang County." Mo Dongsheng smiled and looked at Xu Que and Xu Fan.
"Uncle Mo's wonderful praise, my nephew is not as good as one ten thousandth of that of Uncle Mo. There is still a long way to go in the future." Xu Fan said politely quickly.
"That's right, Uncle Mo is now a county guard. After guarding Zheyang County, you will definitely be promoted to governor!" Xu Que quickly agreed.
Mo Dongsheng laughed loudly: "Then I can borrow some good words from my two wise nephews."
As Xu Que and Xu Fan greeted each other one by one, and after the ceremony, the whole banquet began.
Xu Que and Xu Fan did not attend the dinner directly, but followed their uncle and father to the ancestral hall.
"Big cousin, little cousin, congratulations!" Xu Long stood at the door of the ancestral hall and smiled.
"Big cousin, little cousin, congratulations on winning the election, I wish you both a prosperous career!" Xu Hu smiled and greeted the two with junior courtesy.
"Cousin, you are embarrassing us. This is not an academy. There is no need to do this ceremony." Xu Fan quickly helped Xu Hu.
"It's necessary. After all, I didn't even get admitted as a scholar, so you are all the best." Xu Hu smiled naively.
"Don't worry, my little cousin will definitely go to high school next time!" Xu Que stepped forward and encouraged.
"Well, I'll try my best!"
As four Xu Que and three generations chatted, Uncle Liu in the ancestral temple suddenly shouted: "filial son and virtuous grandson..."
After hearing this, Xu Que and the others quickly adjusted their clothes, and then followed Xu Maofeng and Xu Maocai.
"Kneel down!" Uncle Liu shouted: "Bow down, thank our ancestors for protecting the Xu family's honorable family, and the two high school officials!"
Xu Que and the other two followed their fathers in kneeling and kowtow, and then Xu Que and Xu Fan stepped forward to receive the incense.
"Gaoyuan Huihuangmen Street Mansion, burn incense!"
Xu Que and Xu Fan lit three sticks of incense in their hands, bowed respectfully to the ancestral hall plaque, and then inserted the incense into the tea stove.
