As Jiang Ling said, he really only came to "visit" for a while, and then left after watching.

After Gu Jiu realized that someone had entered the master's bedroom, she rushed over like a gust of wind.

"Master, are you okay! This subordinate just went to boil some medicine." Gu Jiu stood at the head of the bed in a state of bewilderment, holding a medicine bowl.

Gu Fang glared at him: "Do you know who came just now?"

Gu Jiu shook his head honestly.

"Jiangling." Gu Fang gritted his teeth and spit out two words.

"What is he doing here?" Gu Jiu was so nervous that his eyes widened, and now he was afraid.

Jiang Ling's reputation is not very good. There are not too many rumors about eating children and eating human brains.

"What is he doing here? He came to see your general's joke." Gu Fang said bitterly.

Gu Jiu breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, watching your jokes is better than hurting you, and besides, everyone has read your jokes."

Gu Fang clicked his tongue and stretched out his hand to hit someone: "I found that you have become more talkative since you came back."

Gu Jiu scratched his head and smirked.

"What are you laughing at? Don't hurry to practice." Gu Fang snatched the medicine bowl from his hand, and gulped it down.

Facts have proved that he is not some peerless young man with a strange family.

Until the day before the selection meeting, his injury still didn't improve much, except that it was not as swollen as before, but he still didn't dare to exert force on his right foot.

"Your Majesty, General Gu is here." Eunuch Xi leaned over and whispered.

Jun Ruohan was anxious about the matter of the Zhang Jiansi, and now he heard that he was here, and he was even more annoyed.

If you are injured, you can't take good care of it, so you have to toss around.

"How did you come here?" With such an injury, it is impossible to walk here.

"I heard that it was brought in, but now it is stopped at the gate of Weiyang Palace." Eunuch Xi said.

It's just a guard, if you dare to sit in a sedan chair here, it's disrespectful to the emperor, and it's reasonable to be stopped.

Jun Ruohan squeezed the center of his eyebrows, and said in silence for a long time: "Bring it in!"

"Yes."

Gu Fang was finally carried to the imperial study.

When I got off the sedan chair, I saw Lu Sheng waiting at the door. Seeing him coming out, I consciously stepped forward and took his arm.

Gu Fang thought it was fun, so he put all his body weight on the thin boy regardless.

The tips of the young man's ears turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye, and Gu Fang glanced at it, and his heart was even more turbulent.Such a lovely person, how rare it is to recruit his junior brother!

Lu Sheng helped Gu Fang in, but the man still refused to let go of his arm. Even his little father-in-law didn't dare to do anything wrong, so he could only stand there with his neck stuck.

Jun Ruohan saw that he stared straight at Lu Sheng, and couldn't help coughing lightly: "Your body is disabled, General Gu."

Gu Fang just woke up like a dream, and let go of Lu Sheng.

"Give a seat to General Gu." Jun Ruohan said mercifully when he saw his independent posture like a golden rooster.

Little Eunuch Lu left the imperial study as quickly as if he had received an amnesty order, moved a seat for Gu Fang, and then left in a hurry.

Gu Fang touched his face, and saw that he frightened the child.

"What's the matter for coming so late?" Jun Ruohan was holding the roster for tomorrow's selection meeting.No eyes were on him.

"The minister came to watch the night for the emperor." Gu Fang said, scanning every corner of the study with his peripheral vision.

"Nonsense." Jun Ruohan closed the roster, and then sized him up from head to toe, "You're going to keep my vigil like this? You have to go out in the middle of the night, do you have to let me help you?"

"That's so embarrassing." Gu Fang said smoothly, then quickly covered his mouth, "I don't mean that, I'm afraid that the emperor will have another dream in the middle of the night!"

Jun Ruohan instinctively felt that this person came tonight for other purposes, but he already looked like this, so he couldn't be thrown back.

Left and right are by his side, Jun Ruohan thought about it and acquiesced.

Before going to bed, Jun Ruohan thought that he would beg himself to let him participate in tomorrow's trials, but this man was unusually well-behaved, he lay down straight on the floor, straightened the hair on the back of his head, and wrapped it up again After getting off the quilt and making sure that there is no wind on all sides, he closed his eyes and fell asleep straight away.

Jun Ruohan guarded against him and didn't dare to really fall asleep, until it was almost dawn before falling asleep in a daze.

"It's no good, the imperial study room has been stolen!"

There was a lot of noise outside the sleeping hall, Jun Ruohan was in a light sleep, but suddenly woke up, before dawn, his good senior brother disappeared.

Finally, Eunuch Xi came to report that nothing was lost in the imperial study, but someone saw a man in black rushing out of the imperial study.

"The man in black?" Jun Ruohan pushed open the door of the study.

"Yes." Eunuch Xi followed behind Jun Ruohan, "The patrolling guard said that the man looked lame from the back."

Ben, who was about to walk towards the imperial case, paused, walked directly to the bookshelf, and opened a mahogany box on it.

really……

"come..."

Gu Fang came to the Zhangjian Division without daring to stay for a moment with his name in his hands.

As soon as the door of the Zhang Jian Division opened, the registrant was startled by the person rushing up before he could sit down on his buttocks.

"Hurry up, register for me." Gu Fang slammed the certificate on the table with a "snap".

"I've never seen you hurry up like this." The man clicked his tongue, glanced at the name on it, and then looked at Gu Fang in surprise.

"What are you looking at, register!" Gu Fang glanced behind anxiously, then turned back to urge him, "Hurry up, hurry up, it's too late."

The man unhurriedly flipped through the roster, dipped a pen in cinnabar, and circled Gu Fang's name.

When Han Jing arrived, he saw that there was already a line in twos and threes at the gate of Zhang Jiansi, and the person who was stopped by him above was sitting under a tree next to him holding warm steamed buns and chewing vigorously.

Seeing Han Jing, he greeted him happily.

Han Jing gave him a complicated look, then shook his head and left.

Gu Fang smiled with a guilty conscience. He didn't know what Han Jing was here for. When he thought of offending his younger brother again, the steamed bun in his mouth suddenly felt dull, even though it had no taste at all.

Jiang Ling came to Zhangjian Division with a face that was not popular, and was about to step through the door with his long legs, when he turned his footsteps from the corner of the eye, even the expression on his face changed.

"General Gu?"

When Gu Fang heard the voice, he couldn't eat the steamed buns anymore, so he licked the crumbs of steamed buns on his mouth and looked at him: "Good morning, Vice President Jiang!"

"It's not as early as the general." Jiang Ling said lightly.

Gu Fang snorted and laughed: "Then you are very slack in your work, the Zhang Jiansi!"

Jiang Ling didn't bother to argue with him, went to the registration office and opened the roster, Gu Fang's name seemed to have been registered in the roster.

He was a little surprised, he thought he had taught this man a lesson in Cangchun Tower, and he should be made to be honest for a while, so it seemed that he had underestimated him.

The threshold for the Department of Appreciation has always been terribly high, and there is someone like Jiang Ling who has sat in the position of Deputy Director at a young age, so the pressure on the candidates can be imagined.

Therefore, although Zhangjian Division is the place that all martial arts practitioners yearn for, there are not many people who really come to challenge one or two.

It was not until Sishi that all registrations were completed.

All the candidates were gathered in the Martial Arts Field of Zhangjian Division, and the rules of the competition were announced.

Gu Fang took a rough look, and there were only about 60 people, so his chances were greater.

Of course, he also saw Liu Xiuwen and Wang Shiming.

Jiangling wanted to protect Liu Xiuwen, and this Wang Shiming was probably used as a cover for him. No, among the 60 people, besides Wang Shiming, there were probably other people who came to clear the way for Liu Xiuwen.

Gu's heart sank, but the matter had come to an end, he could only go all out.Jun Ruohan has already been angered, if he doesn't do things well, it will make him feel very wrong.

The selection rules are very simple, it is divided into five rounds, one round per day, ending in five days.

The first round draws lots to determine the opponent, one-on-one, and half is eliminated; the second round is the same as above; the third round, the remaining people are divided into three groups, and the No. ;The last round is also the most exciting, that is, the person who wins the first place will have the opportunity to compete with the deputy director. If he really stepped on dog shit and won the last round, it is equivalent to the deputy director. Failed, the position of deputy director general was directly handed over.

Although the top three winners in the fourth round are all eligible to serve in the Appreciation Division, only No.1 has the opportunity to jump directly into the upper circle.

This temptation can be said to be quite strong, but so far only one person has been able to sit in the position of deputy director general.

That is Jiangling.

There is a general director and two deputy director generals at the upper level of the palm appraisal department.

Six years ago, the 20-year-old Jiang Ling defeated the 38-year-old deputy director Zhuang Xing, and became famous for a while, but this person acted decisively and his methods were hot, and it didn't take long for him to be crowned the title of "Black Face Yama". , It is frightening.

In the selection three years ago, the ring guard was supposed to be Tang Long, the deputy director general, but at that time Tang Long was sent out of Shangdu, and Jiangling took the top spot, so this year Tang Long was the guard.

Gu Fang was a little thankful, fortunately, it wasn't Jiang Ling who met him, otherwise the grandson would have a hundred ways to defeat him.

His goal is very clear, not only to get No.1, but also to defeat Tang Long and take the position of deputy director general.Otherwise, even if they got the top three, it would be meaningless.

After noon, the first round of selection began.

By convention, the first round of knockout rounds is not open to the public.

Gu Fang's opponent in the lottery is a big man who is strong in the outside world, but he is just a big man.

The big man obviously didn't know Gu Fang, seeing that his walking was a bit inconvenient, he couldn't help but taunted him: "Tsk tsk, I can't do anything with you like this."

Gu Fang nodded and seemed to accept it, and then said: "Okay, then I will hit you, you are not allowed to fight back!"

After speaking, he punched the human face door.

Not surprisingly, the big man was beaten by Gu Fang, crying for his father and mother, and finally surrendered.

Gu Fang blew his fists, but he didn't even move his footsteps: "See, brother, even if I have both legs lame, you are not my brother's opponent."

In addition to Gu Fang, Liu Xiuwen and Wang Shiming also successfully entered the second round.

Today's task was over, Gu Fang had just walked out of the gate of the Zhangjian Division when he saw the most handsome young man waiting there in the crowd.

"My good senior brother, why are you here?" He clearly ordered Gu Jiu to pick him up, but it was Su Yanqing who came.
