"Huh?" Sun Changming looked at Wan Qianlai with interest: "Between you and her..."

"Cough cough." Wan Qianlai coughed twice, without blushing: "Xiaosheng has been romantic since childhood, there is nothing between me and Shui Linghua Saintess, but Xiaosheng really wants something, this is also possible. ?"

Anything is possible.

Sun Changming rubbed his fingers and said, "Young Dong's family wants to make a beautiful woman smile, but you can't just say it in vernacular. A good man chases a girl, and he has to take practical actions."

Wan Qianlai patted his chest: "Don't worry, my lord, I understand."

He pushed another storage kit: "This is the private money that Xiaosheng saved, a total of 1.5 million spiritual jade."

Sun Changming scolded the second generation of Goufu jealously in his heart, but he simply took the money: "Don't worry, if you meet Shui Linghua in the third test, I will tell him everything you did for her today. ."

Wan Qian said: "The adults can go to Ma Qizhi's trouble, anyway, he is stupid."

Sun Changming nodded again and again, deeply agreeing.

A meal is considered to be enjoyed by the guests and the host. When checking out, Wan Qianlai was a little surprised that the cost was not low. When he was talking to Sun Changming, Han Mei opened up to eat...

...

Sun Changming led his younger sister to the direction of the carriage, but halfway along the way, the second brother of Hululaowuli turned upside down, looking very excited, and communicated with his elder brother: I want to go out!

Get me out now!

Sun Changming is very strange. After entering the capital, the second brother is a little dazed. What happened?

"What are you going to do?"

The second brother hit the gourd with his head and pointed in the direction of the moat: delicious, delicious! You've been hungry for a long time. I have to eat something full by myself this time.

Sun Changming was very cautious: "Don't be ridiculous, this is the capital, hiding dragons and crouching tigers! If you go out without authorization, you will be caught as a monster..."

The second brother hurriedly said: No, I'm sure they can't see me.

"Can't see you?" Sun Changming was puzzled.

The second brother is even more anxious: invisible means invisible! Let me out quickly, that thing is about to run away, and it will be inconvenient for me to find it later.

Sun Changming was helpless, and dubiously obeyed the second brother's intention. He told his sister and others, pretended to go to the river to wash his hands, and took the opportunity to let the second brother out.

The little loach became the size of a tadpole and silently dived into the river.

Sun Changming shouted in his heart, "Hey, how long will it take for you, should we wait for you?" Little Loach ignored him and disappeared with a flick of his tail.

The elder brother was very helpless, and wanted to possess the soul to go over and take a look, but he couldn't stand by the moat for too long under the watchful eyes of the public. , Sun Changming had to leave first.

...

But it is said that the one on duty in the moat today is the one named "Ruibin" among the twelve double-headed eels. Since the establishment of the Great Wu Dynasty, the double-headed eels in the moat have also alternated many generations, and the name is just a code name.

The common people in the capital think that these twelve double-headed eels have tens of thousands of years of Taoism, at least more than 5,000 years. But in fact, among the twelve rivers today, the oldest is only 1,200 years old, and the youngest is only 200 years old.

As for the whereabouts of those ancient double-headed eels, it is not a matter for outsiders.

...it's worth the money anyway.

Even today's river cruise is a pretense. Ruibin has only a few dozen monsters under his command, and none of them are good enough. The most experienced one is a 600-year-old "porpoise carp", which gave birth to these two long fish whiskers. , In the past six hundred years, he has only cultivated to the fifth level. Ruibin was not in charge on weekdays, so the drudgery of patrolling the river was handed over to the porpoise carp.

This "old-timer" among the monsters also takes good care of the younger generation. Every time a new monster arrives, it will inform the other party when it patrols the river: which things should not be ignored, which things need to be reported, Which things are to be taken directly.

Long ago, cruising the river was not a chore. After cruising the river, there would be gifts of Lingyu and Lingdan. This was the rule of the imperial court. But the twelve double-headed eels have not been eaten for a long time.

Early this morning, when the city gate was wide open, a cage hidden under the water surface of the moat was also opened, and the dolphin carp went out with a few monsters. Originally, they should have been swimming around the moat, but the senior dolphin carp controlled the time and speed very accurately, ensuring that there was not much or not. When the city gate was closed, they circled the moat and returned to the cage.

But in the middle of the smooth moat health tour, the old dolphin carp trembled all over, and turned out to speed up and jump forward desperately, and the few monsters following it were all stunned: In the cage, they always say that they have old arms and old legs...

It's just that they don't understand, why is the porpoise like this?

At this time, a small black shadow rushed past them, chasing the porpoise. The few monsters looked at each other in dismay, thinking they had read it wrong: A little tadpole?

Do porpoise seniors need to be afraid of a tadpole?

And are there tadpoles this season?

Several monsters quickly showed fierce expressions and chased the tadpole. They must help the senior porpoise to solve the problem!

As a result, they chased farther and farther, and after a while, the senior porpoise and the little tadpole disappeared!

There was a big fear in the carp's heart. The moment the thing fell into the water, it knew that it was coming for me! In six hundred years, this is the first time someone has seen through it!

The dolphin rushed to the cage with all his might, but he was not at ease: can Lord Ruibin save me?

whoosh-

whoosh-

Two figures rushed over in the river one after another, and there were also many ordinary fish and frogs in the moat, which immediately scattered in shock. He was even more frightened by the breath of the two figures, so that he did not dare to move at the bottom of the water. Those guys who were fishing on the stone piers sat for a long time without catching anything. They were still wondering: Why didn't they bite the hook today?

The dolphin carp plunged into the beast cage - this underwater beast cage has a huge hole, there are three layers of thick iron gates for the magic weapon inside and outside, and between the three layers of iron gates are two hidden sealing spirit formations. , to ensure that no monsters can enter or leave without authorization.

But the cage is very spacious, and the monsters live in it without being crowded.

Among the twelve double-headed eels, Mr. Ruibin is known for his generous temperament. It was sleeping in the nest, but suddenly something rushed past, it raised its head in a daze, looked around with mucus from the corner of its eyes, and saw the porpoise burrowed into a small hole in the back.

Rui Bin was still pondering: Why did you come back so early today? And why is it only one?

A group of bright electric **** condensed slightly on the tail, and a thin electric cable was about to be released, and the porpoise was pulled out to ask what happened. But it was a coincidence that before the cable was sent out, a small figure, only the size of a tadpole, came in with a whoosh from the hole.

Lord Ruibin suddenly stiffened and stared blankly at the other party, but the other party stared at the ball of electric light on the tip of his tail, his eyes were not good: What do you mean? Um?

Lord Ruibin hurriedly lowered his body to the bottom of the water, only raised his tail high, held the ball of electricity, and expressed his intentions very humblely and ingratiatingly: the little one will hold the lamp for Your Excellency.

The little loach looked at it repeatedly, and didn't seem so trusting. Lord Ruibin hurriedly gave directions: Are you chasing the porpoise? It's hiding there, do you want to go and catch it?

The little loach finally let Ruibin go, and with a flick of its tail, it rushed towards the hiding place of the dolphin carp.

Dolphin and carp cursed in their hearts, you are a dignified double-headed eel, a sixth-order monster, you are so spineless, you are really unlucky to follow you. The "boss" was unreliable, and the dolphin carp could only save itself. It suddenly swelled its cheeks, and there was a thick and heavy cooing sound in the entire beast cage. Out of shape! It looks like it is now, only I can see that it is extraordinary. If it shows its original shape, there are still a few strong players in this capital, and they will definitely be aware of it and come over to fight with me.

So the little loach pounced on it with all his strength and opened his mouth with all his might.

Lord Ruibin's two heads were stunned together: First, the porpoise, when it swelled its cheeks, Ruibin had already realized that this guy was not a fifth-order! Not even this guy is a porpoise!

This guy hides his strength and is even stronger than my lord. What is the origin of it?

If the "porpoise carp" continues to expand, I am afraid it will directly turn into a huge mountain. This cage can't hold it.

But then, it saw that Your Excellency suddenly opened an infinitely huge mouth - this "infinitely huge" is an illusion in perception, and it felt that this mouth could swallow anything.

Originally, I felt that the "pig carp" would become as huge as a mountain, but when "Your Excellency" opened his mouth, the "pig carp" became very small. Compared with the two, the porpoise carp appeared to be very incomprehensible.

Then Mr. Ruibin saw that your Excellency swallowed, and the porpoise fell into the big mouth. As Your Excellency closed his mouth, the porpoise disappeared completely, and your body was still only the size of a tadpole!

Your Excellency flicked his tail, looking very satisfied, and then he looked a little sleepy.

Lord Ruibin continued to hold the lamp for Your Excellency, and opened the door of his cave very intimately: Your Excellency, do you want to rest?

The little loach unceremoniously swam in, then dropped the door and instructed Ruibin: Don't disturb me! Otherwise you know the consequences!

The eyes of the little loach at this time, if it is in the eyes of the big brother, it must be very cute, the milk is fierce and the milk is fierce! But Mr. Ruibin's body is cold, and his two heads are doing the chicken pecking exercise at the same frequency: Your Excellency, I will guard the door for you, and no one will disturb your dreams.

The little loach stumbled to doze off. Lord Ruibin faithfully guarded the door, and thoughtfully dimmed the light on the tail.

The monsters that the dolphins brought out today finally caught up and rushed into the cages and ran around: The enemy is really daring to chase after the dolphins...

Lord Ruibin let out a low roar, all the monsters fell down obediently, and Lord Ruibin scolded: Get out!

The monsters walked away in disbelief. But Mr. Ruibin was thinking: What is this guy "pig carp"? It is said that it came to the moat 600 years ago, and it has been conscientious and conscientious for the past 600 years, and there has never been any problem.

...

After all, Sun Changming was worried about his second brother. After getting on the carriage, he told Hanmei, "I'll take a nap." Then he attached his soul to him.

He was a little relieved when he saw his second brother lying in a large and luxurious underwater cave, looking very safe.

He wanted to communicate with the second brother, but the second brother was very sleepy after eating and was very slow to respond. Sun Changming shook his head secretly and withdrew his soul.

When the carriage returned to the residence, Zhang Chun sent it and reported to the adults: "Those nuns are all settled. After the second round of assessment, most of the nuns who were eliminated have returned to their hometowns, and the inn is empty, so it didn't cost much. money."

Sun Changming nodded: "You did a good job. Where is Jisu for sale in the third round of assessment questions?"

Ji Su behaved well this time, not as much fanfare as the previous two times. The Lingyu who sold the title for the first time was robbed, and the second time the real big business went wrong. Ji Su faintly felt that someone was targeting him.

You can find out what happened in Xuanyou Cave as long as you go to Xiuzi, and then analyze it, you will know that it was Sun Changming who stole his business. Ji Su now hates Master Sun to the core, but he can't do anything to Sun Changming for a while. He is waiting for the third test, and he will dismiss Sun Changming no matter what!

Zhang Chunfa replied: "The exam questions for the third level are still sold at Oude College, but there are a lot fewer people who buy them, so they don't appear to be as flamboyant as the previous two times.

But this time he sold 150,000 Lingyu! "

Sun Changming scorned, Ji Su was trying to make the sheep bald. There are only a thousand people left in the third round of the assessment, and this has to exclude the nearly 100 poor monks under Sun Changming. These people will definitely not be able to afford it. It's not even from a poor family, and 150,000 Lingyu can't be taken out casually.

As soon as Zhang Chunfa left, Ruan Sansheng arrived. He closed the door and said mysteriously to the adults, "I guessed the question of the third test."

"What will it be?"

Ruan Sansheng said: "Ji Su, this old man is so deep! The [Xuanyuan Cave] in the back mountain of Guozijian has reopened, but he has been hiding the news and has not announced it to the public. The third stage of the assessment should be to compare swords in Xuanyuan Cave!"

"Xuanyuan Cave?" Sun Changming was puzzled, and Ruan Sansheng explained: "The Imperial College was established in Luoying Mountain outside the capital city. It was set here because there was a special place in the mountain, and it was named Xuanyuan Cave.

According to the research of the major repairers, this place is likely to be the gate of the ancient Xuanyuan Sword Sect. The sword energy in Xuanyuan Cave is like the wind, and there are many sleeping and hidden swords. It can not only be used as a training and assessment place for the supervisors, but also a place of opportunity. The supervisors who enter it have a very low possibility of getting it. Recognition of an ancient sword.

About 1,200 years ago, Xuanyuan Cave was suddenly closed automatically for some reason. The court thought of many ways, but there was no way to open the seal of Xuanyuan Cave. It was also from that time that Guozijian began to decline slowly.

But recently, the seal of Xuanyuan Cave was suddenly opened automatically. Ji Su, the old man, has been covering up this secret, and even we have concealed it from Chaotian Si, and we have just received the news.

It may also be for this reason that His Majesty finally chose Ji Su as the chief examiner of the Dragon and Snake Ranking, just to use Xuanyuan Cave to decide the final candidate for the Dragon and Snake Ranking. "

Sun Changming nodded slowly, this was bad news for him.

The power of his own five-toothed flying sword has not been able to keep up, and Feijian Yingwu has not yet started to "hide tools". Once he enters Xuanyuan Cave, I am afraid that Ma Qizhi and other villains will be successful.

Sun Changming was very sure that Song Gongquan and Ma Qizhi should have known about the exam questions of the third test very early, and they had a long time to prepare. And if Ma Qizhi was in Xuanyuan Cave, he could overwhelm himself... He would definitely not miss this opportunity to humiliate himself.

Sun Changming didn't blame Ma Qizhi in his heart, but for this matter... he also blamed himself for being a bit absolute in the Xuanyou Cave.

But when he thought of being stepped on by Ma Qizhi, Master Sun was still unhappy for a while, and he secretly said, "Never let this happen!"

"I just don't know if there is enough time for me to prepare calmly."

After Sun Chang thanked Ruan Sansheng, he went out immediately, went to find his semicolon in the capital, and asked them to contact the Essence Collection, wanting to buy a high-end flying sword.

"I'm afraid I'm going to bleed a lot."

There was no response from the Essence Collection for a while, but Sun Changming couldn't wait, and he was thinking in his heart what else he could think of. One is to follow the path of Liang Yuzhi. Whether it is Beiyuzhen Fusi or Liang Yuzhi himself, there must be a collection of high-level flying swords. It's just that Mr. Liang's business has always been the crackling of abacus beads, and the price must be very bad.

Another way is to ask the Fifth Prince. However, the idea he gave him has not worked yet, and it remains to be seen whether the fifth prince is willing to help. And even if the fifth prince is willing to help, there are hidden dangers in this way out. Sun Changming is not willing to entangle with a prince too deeply, and will be involved in the whirlpool of succession in the future.

When Sun Changming was having a hard time deciding, one of Wu Yuanji's disciples came in and reported, "Sir, someone is asking for a meeting with the famous post of Lord Lu Guangxiao."

Master Sun in the room subconsciously shrank his neck, it was over, he couldn't escape now.

After dinner, Sun Changming met with Lord Lu Guangxiao. After waiting in a side hall for half an hour, I finally saw this good minister who worked hard for the Great Wu Dynasty.

Lu Guangxiao has an extraordinary bearing, but his spirit and energy are a little weak. Sun Changming was somewhat restrained because of his guilty conscience, but Lu Guangxiao didn't talk to him at all. After he came in, he sat down and waved: "Sir Sun, sit down, where did you have the courage to contradict the old man in the contact amulet?"

Sun Changming sat down with a dry laugh: "I beg the boss to be generous."

Lu Guangxiao took a sip of tea and glared at him: "The old man knows what you think, but you have been in the capital for so long, but you do not take the initiative to go to the old man's door, and the old man will send someone to invite you, hum!"

"Hehe." Sun Changming continued to laugh. Anyway, if you want to say it, just say it. If you want me to go to the southern border to clean up the mess, I will not do it.

Lu Guangxiao shook his head helplessly and said, "I asked you to come here because I have something to tell you..." Seeing Sun Changming's obvious vigilance, he suddenly became angry, patted the tea bowl and said, "I'm not going to give you hard labor. That's it! Well, the old man will ask you first, how confident are you this time on the Dragon and Snake List? Is there anything that needs the help of the old man?"

Sun Changming's heart moved, if Lu Guangxiao was willing to help, he could solve his dilemma, even better than Liang Yuzhi and the fifth prince, at least he could give him some pointers on how to break the game.

But Sun Changming still held back: "Thank you for your concern, sir, there is none for now. If there is any difficulty, my subordinates will definitely not be polite to the boss."

Lu Guangxiao waved his hand: "Forget it. The old man asked you to come to tell you that the embassy of Sang Dao is going to Beijing. This time the embassy is of high standard and there are many people. Don't make trouble when the time comes."

Sun Changming subconsciously said: "The visitor is not good..."

Lu Guangxiao had a worried look on his face: "It's true that the visitors are not good. The old man and other colleagues have discussed it, and they all feel that this time Sangdao sent people, I am afraid that they are not willing to dormant.

You've always been wary of these foreigners, and there's nothing wrong with that, even from the heart. The old man has the same attitude as you. But now I am worried about internal and external troubles, and if I can't bear it, I will make a big plan. That's why I remind you in advance not to ruin the overall situation of the court. "

"Yes~lightnovelpub.net~ my subordinates understand that they must bear in mind the teachings of adults." Sun Changming agreed casually, but did not take it to heart.

Lu Guangxiao waved his hand: "Okay, you can go back." Sun Changming withdrew and walked outside the Lu residence, only to see Ruan Sansheng waiting for him: "Brother Ruan?"

Ruan Sansheng smiled and dragged him away: "Come with me, Master Lu has arranged for you." Sun Changming was puzzled, and followed Ruan Sansheng to a fortified yamen, but there was no plaque hanging on the spacious main entrance. Ruan Sansheng handed him a golden token: "This is the Chief Secretary Yamen."

Ruan Sansheng took him in, and there was someone inside to answer him. Sun Changming showed his token and was led to a tall tower in the backyard. Ruan Sansheng said: "I can only send it here. This tower is the merit-rewarding tower of the Chief Secretary's Yamen. It stores all the classics collected by the Chaotian Division since its establishment, and the swordsmanship is on the third floor."

Sun Changming was stunned. Ruan Sansheng continued: "You can browse freely after entering. This matter is difficult to do even if Master Liu Zhi speaks. It is the grace given to you by Master Lu."

However, Sun Changming showed a wry smile, looked up at the huge tower, and felt a little moved in his heart. When we met just now, Lu Guangxiao never mentioned the matter, so he showed an attitude: Mr. Lu would not use this kindness to force himself to do anything.
