, the fastest update God Pet has opened and hung up the latest chapter for me!

"I got the academy, there should be an ambush in the palace, right?"

Liang Yuzhi still didn't answer directly: "As long as you can see clearly, I...don't say much more." She lost interest and wanted to leave. But Sun Changming asked again, with great perplexity: "This world belongs to him, what exactly does he think?!"

Liang Yuzhi smiled wryly, and said: "The matter in the court is not that simple." After thinking about it, Liang Yuzhi folded back, waved down the sealing spirit array, and made it clear to Sun Changming.

"The current queen mother is my aunt."

"Your Majesty likes extravagance, and the internal funds have long been in short supply. Those internal officials in the inner court, whoever can earn Lingyu, will be in power. Even internal officials at all levels have clearly marked prices."

"Recently, His Majesty is preparing to go on a trip. He wants to build a palace chariot, which costs a huge amount of money. The entire inner court is trying to find ways to help His Majesty raise funds."

Sun Changming couldn't help being dumbfounded: "The chariot of the palace? Are you going to build a palace on the chariot?"

"Exactly."

"It's really extravagant!"

"And it's not just one car, the accompanying concubines each have one, but the regulations are slightly smaller. If the Queen Mother is willing to go, naturally there will be an additional big one. But the Queen Mother sternly refused, but it is a pity that the Queen Mother can no longer control Your Majesty. , and you can’t manage too much, otherwise, the descendants will control the government.”

Liang Yuzhi believes that Sun Changming has understood: "Don't make it difficult for me."

Liang Yu pointed out that she is a member of the royal family, and all her power comes from the support of the Queen Mother.

When Sun Changming robbed Ji Su, he actually robbed the emperor. The first time Liang Yuzhi was invisible, if Sun Changming did it again, she would be really embarrassed.

Sun Changming nodded: "Lord Liang, don't worry, I won't be reckless again."

…

Now the second round of assessment has to screen out a thousand people at a time, and one out of about thirty people will be selected. The sense of crisis among all the cultivators has greatly increased, which directly leads to the extremely hot business of Ou De Academy.

Zhao Xiaoyao studied the different characters of 虺 all day long, and eagerly hoped that the Dragon Snake Ranking would end soon. It doesn't matter what the ranking of Master Sun is, he has to rush back to Wangyunya to preside over the breeding work of Zongzun.

Zong Zun also seemed impatient.

Wu Yuanji had been with Sun Changming for the past few days, and he could see what was on his mind, so he asked, "Does your lord want to buy questions?"

Sun Changming shook his head resolutely: "I won't buy it."

"It really depends on Mr. Liang's face. If you don't spoil Ji Su's good deeds, can you bear this grievance?"

Sun Changming was indeed very angry. Even though he knew very well that the Great Wu Dynasty was rotten from top to bottom, but he really knew that the dignified emperor was manipulating such things behind his back for his own enjoyment, so let him Out of anger. What is the difference between this and selling officials?

But can you bear this injustice?

Sun Changming hesitated for a while before saying, "Don't make it difficult for Mr. Liang."

Wu Yuanji nodded secretly, the lord is a man of affection, this is good news for his subordinates. What Wu Yuanji didn't know was that, in fact, when Sun Changming guessed that the real profiteer behind the scenes was the emperor, he had lost interest in this matter and didn't want to continue doing anything.

Liang Yu pointed out that it was only part of the reason.

Sun Changming knew very well that even if he acted willfully, he was actually "saving" the Great Wu Dynasty to some extent-and he didn't want to do anything more for it. After seeing the emperor's absurd face clearly, he became more determined in this idea.

If Liu Zhi and Lu Guangxiao wanted to save the Great Wu Dynasty, at least, at least a very drastic top-down change was needed. If you don't change the emperor, there is no play at all.

And now the external environment of the Great Wu Dynasty, can it withstand such a drastic change...

In fact, there is another way, Mr. Liu Zhi is promoted to the Ninth Realm.

This one seems more difficult to achieve, cross it out.

In short, Sun Changming didn't bother to bother about the messy things about Ou De Academy, and he didn't inquire about matters related to the second level. Dan, I want a new version of the Flying Sword!

It's not that Sun Changming is playing tricks with his second brother, it's entirely because Master Sun is greedy and dissatisfied: the five-toothed ship is also a bit behind, it's better to upgrade with Feijian.

But the second child was unwilling.

This sixth-order artifact was sent by Song Gongquan, named "Duantian Hook", which itself has a long history. Hundreds of years ago, there was a sixth-level weapon master who was diligently pursuing the way of making tools, but it was a pity that he was still a step behind the seventh-level weapon master. He felt that when his lifespan was about to expire, he had exhausted his life's accumulation and exchanged for a large number of high-level treasures. He wanted to make the last artifact in this life, and he hoped to forge a seventh-level magic weapon before he died.

It's a pity that the sky failed to fulfill people's wishes, and it fell short at the last moment. Originally, I wanted to refine a seventh-level flying sword, but in the end, I fell short of it and fell to the sixth level. The master of weapons vomited blood and died from the blow, and the flying sword failed to take shape in the end. When it was released, it was twisted and deformed, and it became a long hook.

This piece consumed a lot of high-level treasure materials, and it was supposed to be a sixth-level magic weapon of the seventh level. After all, it was a failure, so it is not outstanding among the sixth-level.

With such a sixth-order magic weapon and a sixth-order demon pill, Sun Changming felt that he was very sincere, but the second brother excused that he did not have other parts of the five-toothed ship, so at most he could only upgrade the flying sword, and the related five-toothed ship No way.

Sun Changming bargained with the second brother. Anyway, I am not in a hurry. There are still a few days left for the second level of assessment, but the second brother is already drooling.

Another sixth-order artifact given by Song Gongquan is an ancient bronze dish named "Chengtianlu". There is a special large formation to cooperate, and after the formation is arranged, this magic weapon is placed in the eyes of the formation, and every three days can condense a drop of "heavenly dew", which can be used to irrigate elixir and spiritual plants. Equivalent to ten years of effectiveness!

In other words, if all goes well, a hundred-year-old panacea can be cultivated within a month. Moreover, this "Tianlu" can also be taken directly as a panacea, which can replenish qi and blood, improve cultivation, repair damage, and so on.

The only problem is that the materials consumed by the large array are too expensive...

Sun Changming could use this thing, so he didn't plan to feed it to the second child for the time being.

The eldest brother and the second brother are still "gaming", but the third sister can't stay, pestering the eldest brother to take her out to play every day. Then go out to eat in the name of going out to play.

Street snacks and restaurant banquets along the way, if you see them, you won’t let them go.

After feeding Hanmei that day, Sun Changming remembered that his family still had a job in the capital, so he took Hanmei to have a look. When I came back, I happened to be passing by Xuechangyuan. The road ahead was a bit congested, and the car moved slowly. Sun Changming opened the window and saw a long queue on the street, waiting outside an academy.

There is a flag hanging in front of the academy gate, with four characters fluttering in the wind: Occasionally get the academy.

"Cultivators who buy questions."

But the team didn't move for a long time, Sun Changming's carriage had already passed, and a group of people came out of the academy. The leader was a middle-aged man, dressed in silk and satin, without any culture, but full of copper smell and arrogance. The guys behind him were carrying a big box.

The middle-aged man put his hips on his hips and shouted to the cultivators queuing up: "Don't squeeze, come one by one, 50,000 spirit jades each, and throw the spirit jades into the box by yourself."

This box should be a treasure similar to a storage kit, and the inside is very huge. He stood next to the box and shouted loudly: "Wu that little thief! If you have the ability to go to my brother-in-law's house to steal chickens and dogs, why don't you dare to come to my Ou De Academy?"

"I see it clearly. Your grandfather and I put all the income from selling questions in this box, and store it in my academy. Come and steal it. If you don't come, I will look down on you, you bastard!"

"Your grandfather and I are so arrogant, what can you do to me? I know you can't understand me and my brother-in-law, bah! What's the use, do you have such great skills? That filthy trick that is not on the table can't hurt my brother-in-law in the slightest!"

"Who do you think you are, my brother-in-law is the real big shot, don't let us catch you, crushing you is like crushing a bug!"

Sun Changming heard it, and looked through the car window again, his eyes were a little cold. He called to a waiter who was watching the excitement from the store next to him: "Does this master scold like this every day?"

Xiao Er smiled and replied: "Yes, it's been several days in a row, and every day I swear like this, and it has become a scene in our school."

Sun Changming closed the car window silently, and Wu Yuanji persuaded him, "My lord, don't be impulsive. This person just wants to annoy you with words. Occasionally, there must be an ambush in the academy..."

Sun Changming smiled lightly: "Don't worry, don't make things difficult for Mr. Liang."

Wu Yuanji breathed a sigh of relief just now, but he heard the adult say again: "Let's deal with them in another way."

…

That night, Sun Changming invited Ruan Sansheng over: "I have two things to ask Brother Ruan for help." Ruan Sansheng stared at him: "Your Excellency is so polite that you are offended!"

Sun Changming made a confession with a smile, and said directly: "The first thing, please ask Brother Ruan to investigate what the second test question of the Dragon Snake List might be-this is considered a public weapon for private use, so I was polite just now, if Brother Ruan thinks Inappropriate, you can also refuse."

Sun Changming can buy it directly with money, but he doesn't want to! As for how to investigate... Secretly collect clues, such as the recent increase in the price of those cultivation resources in the capital, which type of magic weapon is in short supply, etc., and so on. Summarizing and analyzing, we can definitely narrow down the second test questions to a very narrow one. within range.

In fact, in the first test, even if you don't buy the test questions, according to this method, you can find out that there are a large number of Xiuzi secretly asking for the safety route map of the Beijing-run school, and you can know what to test.

It's just that if you want to do this, you need to have a huge intelligence network in your hands. And those who have mastered this network... are not short of money, so just buy it?

Only Mr. Sun is upset and unwilling to spend this money!

Ruan Sansheng nodded: "This is easy to handle." He didn't care about the scruples of "private use of public equipment".

"The second thing is to help me find someone, who is also the Xiu Zi who participated in the Dragon Snake Ranking this time, named Zhang Chunfa."

Ruan Sansheng was very efficient in his work, so he brought a person to find Sun Changming the next morning, asked the person to wait outside the yard first, and went in to talk to Sun Changming by himself.

"Your Excellency must not have imagined what we found this time!" Ruan Sansheng was rarely able to hold back, with an expression of "what I'm going to say next is very exciting".

Sun Changming poured him tea: "Brother Ruan, come and listen."

"According to the movements in the city in the past two days, we found that the questions of the second level assessment may have something to do with spirit insects." Ruan Sanshengniu drank his tea, wiped his mouth and continued: "This is not the key, the key is that the fifth prince's family has been working for a while now. Qing Ke and Ji Su's family members come and go frequently! Does your lord know what this means?"

Before Sun Changming could answer, Ruan Sansheng waved his hand: "You are not from the capital, so I'm afraid you don't understand the key points. The fifth prince is the biggest beetle dealer in the entire capital!"

"Bug?"

Ruan Sansheng explained briefly and Sun Changming quickly understood that it was similar to fighting crickets in his previous life, except that all spirit insects were used here, and the fighting was divided into ranks, which was like the rules of fighting weight in the previous life.

But at the end of every year, there will be "Ultimate Bug Fighting", which is a carnival feast. At this time, all ranks will be discarded, and spirit insects will fight without distinction!

"Don't underestimate the income of this fighting insect. The fifth prince is not favored among the six princes and eleven princesses. He doesn't have any property in the estate under his name. But with this fighting insect competition, he is among the princes and princesses. Wealth ranks in the top three!"

After Ruan Sansheng said this, he turned his eyes to Sun Changming. Master Sun also found it inconceivable: "Ji Su not only sells exam questions, but also plans to send 30,000 cultivators to help the fifth prince catch spirit insects!"

"Cut both ends of a carrot, good deal!"

"I reckon, what the fifth prince's disciples are discussing with Ji Su's family these days is the price to pack and sell these spirit insects to the fifth prince!"

"What the **** is he a genius!" Sun Changming almost slipped his tongue, selling exam questions to honor his father, catching spirit insects to sell his son, Mr. Ji Su really seized the opportunity and his official career was bright!

Does the rhythm of the dragon change when the situation changes?

I always feel that in the past few years, you have been succumbed to the cold bench of the Imperial College.

Ruan Sansheng finally said: "In short, the assessment of the second level is about spirit insects. Thirty miles southeast of the capital city, there is a 'Xuanyou Cave', which produces all kinds of spirit insects and demon insects. Most of the examination rooms are in the where is it.

Adults prepare in advance. "

He called someone outside again: "I brought you Zhang Chunfa. I have business to leave first. Please let me know if you have anything to do."

Sun Changming thanked him, and personally sent him out, just in time to meet Zhang Chunfa who came in.

Zhang Chunfa, who had short brows, small eyes and a round face, was uneasy at first, but when he saw Sun Changming, he slapped his thigh immediately: "Oh, it turns out that brother is looking for me."

He rushed up and was about to enthusiastically hold Sun Changming's hand, but was stopped by Captain Chaotiansi with a scabbard next to him: "This is my Commander Jiang, Chaotiansimeng, see you in salutation!"

Zhang Chunfa seemed to have no bones, he was about to kneel down as soon as he curled up, Sun Changming supported him: "There is no need to give a big gift." Zhang Chunfa greeted him with a smile and cupped his fists: "I really regret it, I should have been with you in the first level, In the end, I wasn't strong enough myself, so I ran halfway, but in the end it was the adults who rescued me.

Your Excellency didn't notice me at the time, after all there were so many people together, you dragged me out with vines. "

He regretted again and again: "I clearly saw that you are extraordinary, but unfortunately I couldn't stick to my judgment. It's a pity, a pity."

Sun Changming thanked Ruan Sansheng for helping to find someone, and then said to Zhang Chunfa, "I want to ask you for help."

"My lord, don't be so polite. If you have any errands, just ask." He slapped his chest and looked righteous, but suddenly smiled: "My lord, with my status, will never let me work in vain."

Sun Changming laughed dumbfounded, and said, "Sure enough, I am not mistaken about you. Don't worry, I won't treat you badly."

"Hey, your words are enough, what do you want me to do?"

"Go and contact Xiuzi from a poor family, I want those with real talents and real learning."

…

The emperor temporarily designated a courtyard in the barracks of the Beijing camp, which was guarded by heavy soldiers and provided food every day, and sealed off Jisu, the chief examiner of the dragon and snake list.

However, after the first round of assessment, these blockades are useless.

Before the first round of assessment, because the Guozijian and the Jingying were isolated from each other, Ji Su couldn't get through the joints in a hurry, so the internal and external news was not transmitted smoothly. As a result, there was a problem in the first test, which led to Mr. Lin from the Ministry of War. You see, this is a blessing in disguise. With the middleman, the supervision of the Beijing camp has been greatly relaxed, and the second test questions have not only been passed on smoothly, but also kept in touch at all times. , Remotely control the family to negotiate with the Fifth Prince!

Even tonight, my brother-in-law spent money to bring in Meiji’s delicious wine and food, which added joy to Jisu’s boring life, and also injected life into her good sister’s out-of-shape good sister’s withered hair. of bright colors.

Generally speaking, even if the three-level assessment is set, the entire time span of the Dragon Snake Ranking should not exceed one month. But there was an accident in the first level, and the vitality of the cultivators was almost exhausted, so Ji Su generously let everyone rest for a full twenty days!

The main reason is that everyone's strength has not recovered, the second level of assessment cannot be performed well, and the number of spirit insects captured for the fifth prince is not enough and not strong enough.

Ji Su spent more than ten days drunk and dreaming in the Beijing camp, and good news came from his brother-in-law, all the 1,000 exam questions he had prepared were sold out!

"Hahaha, it really is rich and poor. These cultivators who came from afar are indeed rich! Go to Xuanyou Grotto tomorrow and start the second stage of the Dragon Snake Ranking Assessment!"

"Come on, beauty Ergen, have a cup of wine, and wish the generous cultivators a successful start and a fruitful return!"

…

Ma Qizhi spent the past 20 days sharpening his guns, thoroughly refining all the treasures his father had prepared for him.

Tomorrow is the day of the second level assessment. The family of three eat dinner together. The mother feels very warm, and the son is finally sensible, and he will no longer embarrass her.

After the meal, Song Gongquan put down the bowl and chopsticks, and said to Ma Qizhi, "Come with me to the study." Ma Qizhi knew that his father had something to say, so he hurriedly followed.

"Don't act too much tomorrow, just squeeze into the quota of the third level. Don't worry, even if the spirit insect you bring out is of a slightly lower rank, Ji Su will not dare to dethrone you."

Ma Qizhi was a little curious: "Father, what's the inside story?"

Song Gongquan of course knew what Ruan Sansheng had found, so he simply told his son, and then said: "Ji Su is so confused, he wants money but not his life. The fifth prince is not favored by His Majesty, and he is doomed to miss the throne. He flattered the fifth prince, When the new emperor ascends the throne in the future, the Ji family will be full!"

Ma Qizhi was terrified: "My child understands."

Coming out of his father's study, Ma Qizhi thought of Sun Changming again. He still felt very conflicted. Although he knew that Sun Changming saved him for the benefit of his father, and everyone had already settled the matter, he still felt that... the young master's life was more important!

"No, this time I go to Xuanyou Cave, I must find a chance to save him once!"

"Take back those treasures from him, especially the rhinoceros horn, which is very important for father to advance to the seventh realm."

"I still don't believe it. Young master, I have a higher realm than him, a stronger family background, better ability than him, and more handsome appearance than him. Why should he save me? I must have a chance to save him once!"

"snort!"

The second generation ancestor didn't know that at this moment, his group of cronies had already used Chaotiansi's authority to seize the handle of a senior "insect hunter". The man told all the secrets about Xuanyou Grotto, and helped design a sinister trap.

"Everyone can see it too: Young Master Ma has a heart disease because of what happened last time. Let's help him get rid of this heart disease and give him a chance to save Sun Changming once, and the disease will be cured gone."

"Let that Sun Changming be grateful to Young Master Ma, hahaha!"

…

Just like the first test, many cultivators were waiting behind the city gate before dawn. As soon as the city gate opened, they rushed towards Xuanyou Cave.

The Xuanyou Grotto is also an Extinction Domain, but it is rather special because it is located underground. The cave has three large openings on the ground, like a tiankeng, and there are more than 30 small openings. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com Even when it rains continuously sometimes, the original small hole collapses and is covered up, but new small holes are exposed elsewhere.

The holes below are connected, there are big and small, I don't know how vast it is. Moreover, how this peculiar extermination area was formed is still a matter of debate.

Historically, many masters in the capital went deep into it, but they have never been able to find out how deep the Xuanyou Cave is.

The aliens here are mainly spirit insects and spiritual plants, there are few beasts, and there are not many other monsters. The deeper you go, the higher the level of monsters, but they are all limited by Mieyu and are reluctant to come out.

In order to ensure the absolute safety of the capital, the Great Wu Dynasty sent overhauls many times in the history to try to completely annihilate this area of ​​destruction, but every time they advanced to the depths, they returned with heavy losses. Over time, the court changed its strategy, from complete annihilation to regular suppression.

In recent years, this kind of "regular clean-up" has continued, but only God knows whether anyone will go to clean up.

The Jingying stationed a team of troops near Xuanyou Grotto, with the Sixth Great Realm in charge. Once there was a group of monsters in Xuanyou Grotto, they could be dispatched quickly to ensure the safety of the capital.
