"Can Your Highness consider this candidate for the opposite stage?"

The fifth prince waved his hand: "This matter is simple, just pick one of the brothers and sisters of this king."

"It's not right." Sun Changming said: "It's better to be a foreign minister, not a member of the royal family, or someone of the generation of your Highness."

The fifth prince froze for a moment, put down the wine glass and smiled bitterly: "You are right."

The princes and princesses of the same generation sang a show against each other, and they were misunderstood as "seizing the heir".

"I have a personal recommendation. Your Highness can consider it."

"Who?"

"Chaotian Sibeiyuzhen Fusi, Liang Yu refers to the adults."

Sun Changming kept in mind that there was a sword hanging over his head. Liang Yu pointed out that if he knew that the business between himself and the fifth prince was worth tens of millions of spiritual jade, and that all of them had gone into his own pockets, it was not meant to be distributed to those The poor monk will definitely come to find out for himself.

If Liang Yuzhi was given to the candidate for the opposite stage, it would be her compensation.

Moreover, the affair between Liang Yuzhi and Liu Zhi really came to an end. He added a large amount of dowry to Mr. Liang. In the end, is it not Liu Zhi, the one who eats soft rice?

What do you mean by loyal subordinates? This is the loyal subordinate!

The fifth prince thought about it for a while, and said with a moving expression: "It's really appropriate. Mr. Liang clearly is a foreign minister, but in fact he is from the emperor's grandmother. This king can speak in front of the emperor's grandma." He giggled and laughed at himself: "Old ladies like fat grandsons."

Sun Changming raised his glass: "If Your Highness thinks it's appropriate, I'll go and talk to Master Liang Yuzhi."

"it is good."

The fifth prince had a perverse temperament. As soon as they met, he wanted to "pinch" Sun Changming, but he was tragically turned back, and he lost a lot of money. Sun Changming gave him another idea to solve the hidden dangers of the spirit worm competition. The two were in the pavilion and the water pavilion, drinking until dusk, the fifth prince was lifted back by the sixth realm with spiritual energy.

Sun Changming patted the storage bag full of spiritual jade, and went back contentedly.

The topic of the third round of assessment has not been decided yet - Sun Changming always suspected that it was because Ji Su lost a big business, was extremely depressed, and had no intention of doing business at all!

This guess made Master Sun's mood very good.

He even took a special car and took his sister to pass by the gate of Oude Academy again. Sure enough, there was no more academy owner who scolded the street, so he laughed and laughed.

Taking advantage of this time, Sun Changming told Liang Yuzhi about the Spirit Insect Competition, Liang Yuzhi listened to the plan and looked at Sun Changming vigilantly: "You brat has too many thoughts! I will cooperate with you in the future, and we must guard against it. Trick me with you!"

Why is Sun Changming a little guilty?

After procrastinating for another ten days, the topic of the third round of assessment was finally decided, but at the same time, a new news spread: the third round is not the final assessment of the Dragon and Snake Ranking, and the third round will select the most Fifty outstanding talents are handed over to His Majesty's Holy Inquisition.

As for how His Majesty was sanctioned, there is no explanation now, and no one dares to speculate randomly.

Sun Changming was disgusted when he heard the news. Others couldn't understand it, and they were still singing praises, thinking that Tianjiao of this year's Dragon and Snake List might become the "Protege of the Son of Heaven", but in fact Sun Changming knew that this was the emperor's ineffectiveness, and he had to end in person.

Presumably after the third pass, Ji Su will still come forward: Do you want to be on the top list? Do you want to go one step further? Depends on who of you pays more.

This news made Mr. Sun feel extremely bad. During the time he came to the capital, he saw more and more that the regime was terminally ill, carrying a kind of absurdity and corruption from top to bottom! He has inevitably integrated into this world, so it is inevitable that he feels a sense of depression in his chest.

"Brother!" Han Mei jumped in and almost stumbled on the threshold. That appearance made Sun Changming burst out laughing. Sun Changyan angrily kicked the threshold a little, then quickly smiled and dragged her eldest brother's Sleeve: "Let's go out and play!"

Sun Changming knew very well: "Why don't we go straight to the topic, tell eldest brother what you want to eat, and we can save time on the road."

Hanmei nodded again and again, and the eldest brother was right: "I heard that there is a famous 'Fourteen Flavor' on the riverside avenue outside the city. We used to eat it in the city. Let's go out and try it today."

Sun Changming also wanted to go out to relax, and took his sister's hand: "Let's go!"

Yanhe Avenue is a street outside the west city wall of the capital and beside the moat. It is surrounded by the moat outside the city, with a length of more than ten miles. One side is against the moat and the other side is a large area of ​​low-rise houses.

The capital brought together people from all walks of life in the Great Wu Dynasty. Most of the people who came to the capital to seek life were very poor. These people could not afford to buy a house in the capital city. Outside the city has formed a large prosperous area.

Compared with the city, the houses in these settlements are low and densely built, with narrow lanes and complicated terrain, and the people who live there are also mixed.

The famous "Fourteen Flavours" along the riverside avenue are actually fourteen kinds of particularly famous snacks. People from all over the world gather here, and the flavours from all over the world are blended, and such a batch of delicacies with both local and capital characteristics have gradually emerged.

In fact, Hanmei is more in love with such street food, but in the capital city, she has never taken the initiative to ask to eat those famous restaurants, even if her eldest brother is already in a high position, the consumption of these restaurants is completely affordable for the eldest brother. .

The tool they used to travel in the capital was Wu Yuanji's horse-drawn carriage. The wheels stretched out from the underside of the car, and it ran smoothly, quickly and flexibly. On the streets of the capital, there are many such machines and carriages, and most of them are more luxurious and luxurious than those of Wu Yuanji.

It's just that in the eyes of a master machine like Sun Changming, the machine carriages of those powerful people tend to be exaggerated on the surface, and their performance is much worse than that of Wu Yuanji.

Sun Changming even encountered a few times on the road marked with the Jiuyunzong's carriage, and each of them was very luxurious. Master Sun laughed secretly. This was taken by the Jiuyunzong.

The capital is very prosperous, and the pedestrians are rubbing shoulders, and the speed of the carriage is not fast. When they were about to leave the city, a figure suddenly appeared from the side and almost collided with their carriage. The figure was also startled and fell in front of the car, like a frightened deer. It turned out to be a man about the same age as Sun Changyan. little girl.

It's just that compared to Hanmei's apparent overnutrition, this girl is thin and small, with a pale face and a huge panic on her face.

A few strong men in the back chased after them shouting: "Catch the thief!"

"Don't let her run away, dare to steal your Peng Ye's things and break your little girl's dog legs!"

The girl hurriedly got up and was about to run away, but was surrounded by those people.

The girl was about to cry, and she shouted stubbornly, "You bullshit, I didn't steal anything!"

A few strong men grinned and forced them to come up: "It doesn't matter if you steal or not, arrest her to see the official!"

"I'm not going, you are not good people." The girl shrank back, but bumped into another strong man on his back. The strong man laughed, stretched out his big hand and grabbed the girl's collar like an eagle catching a chicken.

"Let go of me! You bad people!" The girl struggled, punching and kicking, like a thin female beast, but how could she break free?

The shopkeepers around saw it, and they all watched with cold eyes. Some of the good-hearted people didn't dare to cause trouble, but just shook their heads secretly.

The little girl suddenly bit the strong man's wrist, but those strong men do these things all the year round, they have long expected, the other hand lightly pinched the girl's chin, and then laughed.

On the carriage, Han Mei gently grabbed the corner of her eldest brother's clothes: "Brother, save her."

Sun Changming glanced at his sister and asked, "Why? She stole something from someone else. It's right for someone to arrest her to see an official."

Hanmei said, "She didn't steal, she's a good person. Those people are bad guys, they definitely didn't take her to see the officials."

Sun Changming smiled and asked, "How did you know?"

Sun Changyan opened her mouth but couldn't say why, but she shook her head stubbornly: "I just know."

Sun Changming's heart moved slightly, but he asked again: "This is the capital, and there are powerful and powerful people all over the place. Behind these evil slaves, there may be a high-ranking official of the yamen, or a prince of the royal family. necessary trouble."

Han Mei hesitated for a while, and finally lowered her head pitifully: "Then... then don't care, I don't want to cause trouble to my eldest brother."

Sun Changming smiled, rubbed Hanmei's head hard, messing up her ball head, and then got up and got out of the carriage.

A few strong men grabbed the girl and were about to leave, but suddenly felt a terrifying force attack, and they were shot and flew out with a puff, and they fell and rolled around on the ground.

The one who was holding the girl felt a sharp pain in his arm. He was horrified to see that his arm was bent at an abnormal angle, and the girl in his hand had already been picked up.

"Ah—" He screamed, followed by another blow on the face, half of his face was swollen, and his teeth were all broken.

Sun Changming could see at a glance that these evil thieves who specialize in human trafficking in the market were just teasing his sister just now.

It's just that Hanmei was able to find the girl innocent. These strong men were all villains, which made him feel very interesting.

"Who dares to take care of the affairs of our Tianxiao Gang, don't you want to live?" A group of strong men dared not step forward, but their faces were threatening.

Sun Changming first sent the little girl to his agency carriage, then turned around and showed his token: "This official is commanding Si Mengjiang, who is behind you, who has the ability to let him come to me!"

If a gang in such a street market commits human trafficking, it must be a heinous crime. Since Sun Changming is in charge, he will definitely not just save this girl. He deliberately reveals his identity directly, that is, he wants to get rid of this gang directly!

Several strong men supported each other and fled, with a sarcastic look on their faces: "A small official from other places, I really don't know how deep the water in the capital is, you wait, you are dead! Your whole family is dead!"

Sun Changming's face turned cold, he grabbed it in the air, and the sound of clicking continued, and the bones of several strong men's legs were crushed! They screamed like killing pigs, but they didn't dare to say more, they helped each other and hurriedly got into the side alley.

On the street, some shop owners who knew the background of the Tianxiao Gang shook their heads and sighed. There are not many good officials willing to take action for the common people these days, and there will be one less after today.

Sun Changming didn't care about the chatter of the people around him, and went back to the carriage, only to find that the little girl was helplessly explaining to Hanmei again and again: "You saved me, I won't **** your desserts, you really don't need to do this. protect..."

Hanmei was still very vigilant, and wrapped her hands around a plate of assorted preserved fruits and a box of frosted sugar puff pastry on the small table in the carriage.

Sun Changming shook his head speechlessly. You asked me to save the person. You said she was a good person, but when she came up, you guarded her like this.

Sun Changming shouted, "Girl, where do you live, we'll take you back."

The little girl blinked and was about to answer, when suddenly there was a shout from outside: "Little sister—" The voice was very distant at first, and it seemed to be on the other side of the long street, but it finally came to the outside of the carriage.

"You are lucky. Someone rescued your sister. Otherwise, you will be taken away by the Tianxiao Gang and fall into the hands of that kind of scum. What good results can there be?"

"Don't look at your cultivation, the Tianxiao Gang also has roots, they have a way to avoid the monks' search..." The person next to him pointed to the carriage and chatted with the people who came.

Sun Changming opened the car window and asked suspiciously, "Is this your sister?"

The door opened, and the girl threw herself into Menghebei's arms, hugged him tightly and cried, "Brother, I almost never see you again..."

Meng Hebei was also taken aback: "You saved my sister?"

"It's just a coincidence." Sun Changming waved his hand, knowing that Meng Hebei rejected Zhang Chunfa's solicitation, and he happened to save his sister, he was afraid that he would think more: "Take her back quickly, I still have one step ahead."

He dropped the car window and ordered "Let's go", Wu Yuanji's disciples urged the carriage to continue.

Meng Yaya raised her head in her elder brother's arms and looked at him suspiciously. The carriage went far, and the second shopkeeper couldn't hold back, and said contemptuously, "They offended the Tianxiao Gang in order to save your sister. It is very likely that the official position will not be guaranteed, and as a result, there is not even a thank you, the people of this world..."

The shopkeeper slapped him on the back of the head: "What are you talking about, go to work! Don't want your dog's life, they are also monks!"

Menghebei lowered his head and dragged his sister back. He was indeed a little suspicious. Could it be that Master Sun deliberately played the game, intending to be grateful to himself, and then recruit himself?

In the carriage, Sun Changming found that Han Mei seemed a little gloomy: "What's wrong?"

Sun Changyan shook her head and didn't speak. She had almost no playmates of the same age. She finally saw one today, but she just habitually protected her food and left without hesitation.

Sun Changyan felt that she might have missed the first "friend" in her life, and blamed it on herself.

Sun Changming didn't say much, because as long as he walked out of the city gate and smelled the aroma of "Fourteen Tastes", the little girl would immediately be happy. Sure enough, after the carriage drove into Yanhe Avenue, Sun Changyan sat up straight, and the eldest brother even had an illusion: the girl's ears also stood up.

"Hahaha!" Sun Changming laughed.

He pulled his sister's hand out of the carriage, Wu Yuanji's apprentices quickly parked the carriage on the side of the road, and then followed up, wanting to accompany the young lady.

"Miss, you can buy whatever you like, and I'll pay for it." One person took out his vast storage kit.

"Miss, give it to me when you buy it, and I'll carry it for you." One person showed off his strong biceps.

"Miss, when you're tired of shopping, say, I'll carry you." Another person walked steadily and patted his broad back with his backhand.

Sun Changming walked on foot, and there was a lot of people on the road along the river. People hawking, juggling, storytellers, singing operas, bargaining... All kinds of voices and breaths will gather together, reflecting the vivid world. Sun Changming seemed to have entered the world of "Across the River at Qingming Festival", and his heart was wide open for a while, and the previous depression gradually dissipated.

"Fourteen flavors" are just the fourteen kinds of snacks that are most famous along the river avenue. Besides these, there are many other kinds. Sun Changyan walks all the way and eats all the way, and her two big eyes are satisfied and bent into thin crescents.

There was the sound of the river rushing from the side of the avenue, and Sun Changming turned his head to look over, pretending that he didn't see the person walking towards him. But Wan Qianlai came up with a smiley face and took the initiative to explain to Master Sun: "The moat of the capital is ten feet wide and twenty feet deep, and there are sixteen water gates in four directions from east, west, north and south. Stop rolling.

There are various organs at the bottom of the river, once opened, there is no way to fall into them. There are also six water spirit formations set up relying on the power of the river water. If the capital is attacked, these six formations can be opened to attack and defend, which can almost avoid any flame attack on the capital.

There is a huge beast cage under the river, which houses many domesticated monsters. It is led by the twelve most powerful double-headed flood eels. It is usually restrained. In the event of war, these monsters are released and cooperated with the spirit formation. A moat is an insurmountable line of defense.

On weekdays, twelve double-headed flood eels are on duty each, leading thirty-six aquatic monsters to patrol the river, bound by double-headed flood eels, these beasts will not harass passers-by. "

Wan Qianlai found that Master Sun's eyes were a little different. He turned his head to look, but was embarrassed to find that on a row of stone piers by the river, each was a fisherman.

And judging from the smooth surface of the stone pier, these fishermen must have come often.

Sun Changming asked, "I think they are just ordinary people. Do you think they are fishing for double-headed eels, or are they fishing for ordinary monsters?"

Wan Qianlai sneered: "Hey, your lord should know better than me. There are some rules in the imperial court, and no one has carefully implemented them."

Sun Changming shook his head and stopped saying this, and asked, "What are you doing here with me?"

Xuanyou Cave pitted them, and Master Sun was somewhat guilty. He thought it was a chance encounter, and he pretended that he couldn't see it and went wrong.

"I went to meet the adults at the residence. I wanted to thank the third-order spirit worm of the adults. The servants said that the adults came to Yanhe Avenue, and I came here. Fortunately, I didn't miss it."

"Thank you?"

Wan Qian Lai said: "Of course I want to thank you. If it wasn't for the adults raising your hand, I wouldn't be able to enter the third pass."

He never mentioned the fact that Sun Changming robbed them of the spirit worms, which made Master Sun puzzled and didn't know what medicine he was selling in the gourd.

"I have prepared some gifts for the lord and the lady to express my feelings." Wan Qian came to look around and pointed to the front: "It's too noisy here, let's go to that restaurant to talk, and ask the adults to show their faces."

Hearing that he was going to give gifts, Sun Changming happily attended the banquet.

Ten thousand money came to order the restaurant's signature dishes, but the restaurants here are not high-grade, and it doesn't cost a few dollars in total. Wan Qianlai warmly persuaded him to drink, but Sun Changming refused to drink it. After eating a few mouthfuls of vegetables, Wan Qianlai took out a storage kit and handed it over with both hands: "The price of a third-order spirit worm in the capital is 12,000. Lingyu, but the adult gave me the one to ensure that I can enter the third stage of the assessment, so that I won't go back in despair, but the value cannot be measured by Lingyu.

There is a bottle of fifth-order elixir and four fifth-order treasures, which are given to adults.

In addition, there is 1,500 kilograms of high-level monster meat, which was frozen with ice and was given to the young lady. "

Sun Changming didn't answer, he put down his chopsticks and asked, "This official doesn't like to go around, so if you have anything to say, just say it directly."

Wan Qianlai raised his thumbs up: "The lord is straightforward~lightnovelpub.net~ Actually, it's nothing, firstly, it is a little thought, secondly... I also ask the adults to take care of one or two in the third level."

"Take care?" Sun Changming suddenly realized: "Are you asking me to show mercy?"

Do you still know? If you are still as domineering as in the Xuanyou Cave in the third level, how can I play, sir?

"Hehe." He just smiled, didn't deny it, and then added a price tag: "I heard that your lord is in charge of the Mengjiang defense line, and we, Wan Lisheng, are also willing to make a contribution to the Guotai and Min'an of the Great Wu Dynasty. I told my family to prepare. Donate one million Lingyu to Meng Jiangdusi.

And if the adults are willing, we Wanlisheng can fully cooperate with Meng Jiangdusi. "

What Sun Changming really moved was the comprehensive cooperation between the two sides. He reached out and found the storage kit: "I'm not targeting everyone, you should also understand that I'm dealing with Ji Su in the matter in Xuanyou Cave.

That's all, the third test, if you really encounter it, I'll let you go. "

"Thank you sir!" Wan Qianlai grinned and said, "That... In fact, Xiaosheng still has an unkind request, can you ask your lord to let Shui Linghua go by the way?"
