Looking at Zhou Bai's handsome back, Ji Hongzhe's face was full of memories. Then he seemed to remember something and complained: "This boy's poems are so good, but why do he always only read half of them."
"But I am also a witness. I am here to remember the situation here and send this half of the poem to the Zhou family bookstore. How can I do this without publishing the second volume of the Suihan Collection?"
Immediately, there was a follower beside him who smiled and promised that the relationship between his county magistrate and Xie Yuan was all due to his discerning eye and his ability to hand over the knot at a young age.
Soon, a group of county officials and officials left to discuss the time for inscriptions on the Jie Yuan Gold List in the past dynasties, and the Shili Pavilion became deserted again.
…
Zhou Bai rode his horse all the way south. This time he was not in a leisurely mood to enjoy the scenery along the way because he was too pressed for time.
Even though the imperial court had postponed the Spring Festival from February to mid-to-late March due to the change in the red moon, there was not enough time for the scholars who were going to take the exam in the border areas.
If Zhou Bai had followed his normal schedule, he might have just arrived in Shenjing before the exam started. Any accidents along the way might have caused him to miss the exam.
So in order to be sure, he had to find ways to increase his speed.
Logically speaking, Zhou Bai shouldn't waste time by staying in Bei'an County, but there are things here that can save time.
A dragon horse can truly travel thousands of miles a day, only if the knight can persist, there is no time when the dragon horse's endurance is not enough.
In the entire Bei'an County, except for the cavalry group of the Silver Dragon Army, which can steadily obtain dragon horses, it is difficult for other forces to have channels, because this is a strategic material.
However, as the commander of the county, the Qi family would naturally not be without him. Zhou Bai had contacted Qi Hua early and was able to temporarily provide him with a dragon horse.
At this time, there were few wealthy men in Bei'an County who had not yet set off, because they all rode in carriages and could not ride alone like Zhou Bai.
This will avoid the trouble caused by the red moon change, and there will be no risk of being late.
There is no direct male member of the Qi Mansion at home now, so the housekeeper personally receives Zhou Bai.
If the relationship with Qi Hua was still a high-profile one in the past, now even with Jieyuan's status, the Qi Mansion cannot neglect him.
It is only a matter of time before a state can pass the Jinshi or above in the Jieyuan examination. Even if the luck is not enough, write more famous articles at home and hope that sooner or later you can accumulate enough luck.
The Qi family's stable is very large and houses hundreds of fine horses, but Zhou Bai can still identify which horses are horses at a glance.
It's so conspicuous, with one horse and one stall, and that tall and proud look, it just makes it clear that it's not easy to raise me.
The steward of the Qi Mansion was very straightforward and led Zhou Bai to the dragon horse and said: "This horse's name is Wei Jing, which means chasing the shadow of the sun. It is very fast and has good endurance. It just eats a little more. "
Zhou Bai's face twitched, is this called eating a little better?
A meal consists of bundles of fine licorice shipped from the south, more than thirty eggs, more than ten kilograms of soybeans and wheat, and from time to time, rich animal meat.
The army may only feed pig meat, while the Qi government directly feeds expensive snow deer or antelope meat.
However, the appearance of this horse was so good that Zhou Bai fell in love with it at first sight. He would eat as much as he wanted. He had the third level of heavenly power, but he couldn't afford to raise a horse?
Wei Jing is one foot long from head to tail and eight feet high from hoof to neck.
The whole body is like brocade and charcoal, with a white moonlight on the forehead and a strand of brown hair covering it. There are bony protrusions under the ears, spiral brown hairs everywhere on the ventral side, and the undersides of the four hooves are curved like hooks.
This means that there are horns on the head, scales on the belly, and claws on the hooves.
It's like a tiger on the hills, and it's like a dragon in the sea.
Zhou Bai walked around to observe the scenery. The more he looked at it, the more he liked it, so he asked: "What did Qi Hua say about this horse? Give it as a gift or borrow it."
"This is the young master's birthday gift when he turns fifteen, but you are his rare friend, so of course it is for Mr. Jie Yuangong."
"But please note that Wei Jing doesn't like strangers and is a bit irritable. You may have to stay at the house for two days..."
Before the steward of the Qi Mansion finished speaking, Zhou Bai had already reached out to stroke the horse's head. He seemed to have magic power on him. Jing Jing did not attack, but was very docile and allowed him to stroke it.
"This, you are really destined to be with Wei Jing." The butler was dumbfounded and could only say this.
He still remembered that a nobleman came to the house and wanted to buy the horse, but he was forced to leave by the irritable Jing Jing.
Zhou Bai smiled. If the housekeeper knew that he was holding an invisible mallet on his horse's head, he might not have said they were destined.
Then he lay down next to the horse's ear and whispered softly: "He who knows his master is a hero, follow me, and I might even get you a dragon as your wife in the future."
The "gentle" soul power gently caressed Jing Jing, making him not dare to move at all, and the raised hooves quietly retracted.
Jingjing's big eyes kept turning, and he was obviously thinking seriously. Since he couldn't beat him, he might as well admit his master early to avoid suffering more.
Within a moment, Zhou Bai led Wei Jing out of the gate of Qi Mansion. Many of the servants who had suffered from Wei Jing looked at him with shocked expressions, looking at the dragon horse as if it were licking a dog.
While walking, he would lean up to the horse's head and lick Zhou Bai's hands or face. This is not licking a dog.
Little did they know that the thousand taels of silver notes that Zhou Bai forcefully shoved into the Qi Mansion had completely conquered it. Where could the owner with both strength and financial resources find it?
It was so exciting to ride across the road on a creeping dragon horse. Soon many forces in the county learned the news. It turned out that Dingzhou Jieyuan Zhou Bai had just left for the exam at this time.
The Sun family worshiper Bu Yuanzi stood on the street corner and watched Zhou Bai walk straight out of the city, his hands behind his back and counting.
"It's been so long since I last saw him, and the image of a mean and short-lived person has turned into an image of a noble person with plumpness in heaven and earth."
"No, no."
"The Sun family's anger is blocked. It seems that this boy is responsible for it?"
"It seems to be related to Master Sun." Bu Yuanzi said something wrong, and there were more and more changes in the calculations with his hands.
In a few flashes, he appeared in the Sun family's old house, watching the Sun family's fate and calculating the secrets.
"When Zhou Bai entered the city, the Qianlong Qi changed. Although I broke through the second realm, the Qianlong Tianji is too difficult to find, so I can't tell whether he is a Qianlong."
"In short, it may be an obstacle to the Sun family's Qianlong's rise in Bei'an County. Please inform Sun Yucheng first and suppress him if there is an opportunity."
A trace of blood flowed from the corner of Bu Yuanzi's mouth. He had gained nothing just now. The fate of Zhou Bai and Sun Yucheng had turned tit-for-tat at some point.
Is this caused by the evolution of Tianji? …
Zhou Baike didn't care how many people were spying on him. He had never experienced such speed while riding on the shadow of the sun. It was no joke to chase the shadow of the sun.
In just three days, he left Bei'an County and went straight to Shuiyang Ferry in Ruinan County, where he boarded a boat and headed south as usual.
He wanted to take a boat from Ningjiang to Tianjiang, and then go directly south to Shenjing.
We didn't take the dragon boat this time because Xuanyiwei had already contacted a lower passenger boat in advance, so it was so much faster as the Ningjiang dragon didn't dare to cause trouble.
Of course, in order not to attract attention, in addition to the Xuanyi guards who arrived in advance, there were many normal passengers on the passenger ship.
After Jing Jing settled down on the boat, Zhou Bai told the boatman not to deliver meals for the next two days, so he entered the luxurious room and locked the door. At the same time, Xuan Yiwei would secretly guard outside.
