Dragon Fate of Shan Hai Ji

In the end, Le Yue, who was still selected as a candidate, had no choice but to go.

Zhao Yuan went with him.

The bathing place in the hotel is a meritorious bathroom, and there are two small compartments for changing and storing clothes.In the middle of the bathhouse is a huge soup pool built with white stone strips, and several people are soaking in it like stewed dumplings.There is also a small pool for single bathing in the small room on the side, which depends on personal preference.

The bathroom is filled with steaming mist.It was the first time that Zhaoyuan was optimistic about this situation, holding Muhe in his pocket and standing there in a daze.

Le Yue urged it to change clothes quickly in the compartment.Zhao Yuan subconsciously grabbed the hem of his clothes with his hands: "Are you all going to take off your clothes?"

Le Yue said: "Nonsense, you take a bath and get dressed? Are you shy?"

Zhao Yuan's face turned hot and he lowered his head.

Le Yue patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "The man is frank and frank, and we should meet each other frankly." Le Yue wrapped the towel around him, picked up the wooden box and went to occupy the seat first.

Zhao Yuan stayed in the cubicle and continued to be in a daze, his clothes would disappear as soon as he changed, but he was afraid, what if the scales would uncontrollably float out of the water and reveal the tail and dragon horns?Someone in the next room was taking off and complaining: "When the emperor chooses his concubine, he wants those little ladies to be washed clean. When we choose a son-in-law, we also need to be washed clean like those beautiful girls. The world is really upside down." real!"

Another person said: "To be selected by the princess with so many people, isn't it the same as Xiu Nu, our name is Xiu Han."

In that room, Le Yue hugged the Mu box, and fell in love with a single room that looked the cleanest.A person strode over and stood in front of the small room at the same time as him: "Le Shaoxia, it's true that we meet everywhere in life."

Le Yue grinned and said, "That's right, brother Sun, so you're here too."

Zhao Yuan hesitated for a long time, and finally walked out of the changing room wrapped in a bath towel, looking around to find Le Yue, there was a small room in front of him blocked by a few people, noisy, as if they were arguing.A very familiar voice said unhurriedly: "Brother, my monkey and I soak in a small pool in a single room, and it's not a big pool. How can the people behind wash the water that the beast has soaked in?" Zhao Yuan leaned forward to look, and through the dense mist, he saw Sun Ben and Fei Xianfeng soaking in the pool in the small room, and there was another person in the pool, With a towel on his forehead, he closed his eyes and took a bath with a serene face, but it was Le Yue.

Sun Ben compared it to Le Yue: "This young man didn't say anything, what kind of business do you guys care about?" Immediately, someone asked back, "Your Excellency, do you think anyone would like to take a bath with a beast?" Zhao Yuan said cautiously. However, sneaking into the small room through the cracks of people, Le Yue half-raised his eyelids and waved at it. Zhao Yuan got out of the pool next to Le Yue and soaked in the water.Sun Ben crossed his hands, put them on the back of his head, and leaned against the edge of the pool: "Everyone, please look, this young master doesn't mind." Among the crowd standing in front of the door, a particularly burly man's voice was particularly loud: "You don't even know what to do. We belong to the same gang!" Le Yue lazily raised his right hand: "Correct me, this brother grandson and I are really not in the same gang." The strong man sneered: "We all know his surname is Sun, aren't we in the same gang?" Zhao Yuan poked at Le Yue, hinting whether he wanted to persuade the fight, but Le Yue shook his hand at it, indicating that it should not be bothered.A voice from outside the crowd said: "Qiao Erxia's words are wrong. I know my name and surname, and it may be just a chance meeting or a casual acquaintance." Several people in front of the door stepped aside, and a young gentleman walked slowly. He smiled and said: "Forgive me to interject, there is no need for you to argue with this brother grandson here. The water has already been soaked by the monkey, even if you drive it away now, it will still be soaked. Since it will not help, why bother to hurt it?" Be kind." Qiao Erxia said: "We didn't mean to trouble him, but we just couldn't see it. We know the water is dirty and we can't use it, but what about the people who come later?" The man smiled slightly: "In that case, let's Please save face for me, and I will be a mediator. After Brother Sun and his pet have finished taking a bath, I will go down and talk to the steward here to change the water in the pool." Qiao Erxia said: "Wen The young master speaks out to mediate, how dare I not show face, this matter should be handled according to the young master's wishes." Xiang Sun Ben clasped his fists together, "I really offended you just now." The rest of the people also agreed and dispersed.The corner of Sun Ben's mouth twitched, and he clasped his fists to Mr. Wen: "Thank you." Mr. Wen replied with a refined smile: "It's a small effort, Brother Sun, you are welcome."

He speaks modestly, even if he is only wearing a cloth scarf, he looks very personable. After Zhao Yuan watched him go away, he asked Le Yue, "Does that man have a lot of history?" Le Yue poked his ears: "His surname is Wen, Those people from the Jianghu gave him face again, could it be the son of the Wen family in Huainan? But doesn’t it mean that the young sons of the Wen family are all married?” The Wen family and the Nangong family are both well-known families in the Jianghu family. On par.However, the sons of the Wen family who are of the same generation as Princess Chuling are already married, so when they met Nangong Cen, the young master of Nangong in Shu County, Le Yue thought that this time, the young master of Nangong would stand out from the crowd.Sun Ben said: "He is the son of Master Wen's concubine, named Wen Ji, and he is one or two years older than you and Du Shizi, Brother Le. This time, he just revealed his identity to participate in the recruitment." Master Wen's wife is Tang Sect The young lady has a fierce personality and is proficient in all kinds of Tangmen's poisonous Gu secret arts. Master Wen is guarded to death, and he has never dared to marry Mrs. Ru in his life.Unexpectedly, this No. 20 Zhenfu Memorial Arch will also collapse one day.Sun Bendao, about 1 years ago, in a spring when the birds were singing and the flowers were fragrant, Mr. Wen went to Hangzhou for business. In order to socialize, he went boating on the West Lake with a few people. That night, Mr. Wen was very drunk, and had an unfortunate love affair with Die Xiaoyan.Die Xiaoyan's beaded fetus is dark.Die Xiaoyan is a smart and self-aware woman.She knew that Mrs. Wen was very powerful. If she dared to be Mr. Wen's concubine, she might be poisoned to death by Mrs. Wen before she even crossed the threshold.So she silently buried this matter in her heart, quickly found an infatuated and honest man to marry, and let that man be a cheap father for her and Master Wen's son for nearly 20 years.The man Die Xiaoyan married was also from the world, and later he became the leader of an unknown gang. More than a year ago, Die Xiaoyan's husband was killed by the usurper's subordinates. The people in the rivers and lakes asked for help to avenge their husbands, and brought their sons to meet Master Wen by the way.After blood test and other verifications, it was proved that he was indeed Master Wen's son. Master Wen and others avenged Die Xiaoyan's husband-in-law, secretly raised their mother and child for several months, and confessed to his wife and coaxed her A few months ago, Wen Ji had just entered the Wen family's family to recognize his ancestor and return to his family. Just in time for the princess to recruit relatives, the Wen family disclosed the identity of the son and sent him to run for election.

Le Yue and Zhao Yuan's eyes widened when they heard it, and Le Yue sincerely praised: "Brother Sun, you have inquired in detail." Sun Ben grinned and said: "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will be able to win a hundred battles. These news are written in the newspapers, Brother Le probably was busy on his way recently, so he forgot to read it." Le Yue asked suspiciously: "Report? What kind of report?" The old man He from Zhai is having fun with you, the matter was published three times in a row in Jianghu magazines, and the old man He wrote it himself, and the TOEFL few heroes who are already well-known in the Jianghu are less, and I am also happy The famous bandit leader, you two won't pretend not to know with me, will you?" Le Yue and Zhao Yuan's eyes became straight again.Zhao Yuan asked Le Yue in a low voice: "What are Wanjuanzhai and Jianghu Miscellaneous News?" Le Yue wiped the sweat from his forehead with a towel: "Brother Sun, I am not pretending to be with you, I am true, I don't know anything. "He only heard Mrs. Nangong call that old man He Lao while talking, but he never thought that he was actually a member of Wanjuanzhai.That's right, during the Martial Arts Conference, the master of Wanjuanzhai was one of the judges. His name was He Yao, which had the same surname as that old He.Le Yue scratched his head, "It turns out that Mr. He is a relative of the owner of Wanjuanzhai." Sun Ben said, "He is the biological father of the owner of Wanjuanzhai."

"Then, Le Yue, you are already famous!" After taking a bath, Le Yue returned to the room, and Le Yue told Lin Qing, Luo Lingzhi and Du Ruyuan what Sun Ben said one by one.Lin Qing was overjoyed, and Du Ruyuan said again and again: "Very good, very good." Only Zhao Yuan still didn't understand what Wanjuanzhai and Jianghu Zabao were.Du Ruyuan explained to it that Wanjuanzhai is the most well-informed place in the Jianghu. It started by selling information about the Jianghu.Nowadays, there are Wanjuanzhai bookstores in every decent town in the north and south of the river, and people from Wanjuanzhai are always invited to attend various grand events.Every year, the ranking of weapons and martial arts of Jianghu School is evaluated by Wan Juan Zhai.Wanjuanzhai's Jianghu Miscellaneous News has been the most popular tabloid in the Jianghu for decades, publishing the latest major events and various secrets in the Jianghu, even the court news involved is faster than the official residence newspaper.Wanjuanzhai's news is always the most informed, detailed, and secretive, and Wanjuanzhai's rankings are always the most fair and authoritative.The incidents published in the Jianghu miscellaneous newspapers have always been the most talked about topics.Le Yue said with emotion: "Oh, I don't like to make public. Who would have expected that he would not be able to stop being famous? Good deeds will be rewarded." Lin Qing snorted: "Not necessarily, that Sun Ben did all the bad things. Now he is also famous." Zhao Yuan interjected cautiously; "He has become a famous bandit, which is not a good thing." Lin Qing patted it on the top of the head: "You don't know much about the mortal world, many mortals do bad things , just to become a world-famous villain, and many people will appreciate this villain, and this time Sun Ben is satisfied." Zhao Yuan touched the place Lin Qing had photographed in perplexity, the mentality of ordinary people always has A lot of it doesn't understand.But what Lin Qing said was not wrong. After a while, Sun Ben came to visit with an expression of connection and friendship, and took out a large stack of Jianghu miscellaneous newspapers from his arms.Lin Qing didn't look good when she saw him. Sun Ben pretended not to see him, and pointed out to them a few miscellaneous newspapers about the bandit incident in Shu County. The portrait of the roaring flying pioneers standing together is simply outlined, but it is very vivid.Sun Ben was full of pride, and Fei Xianfeng squatted on the chair beside him, squeaking excitedly.

Lin Qing sarcastically said to him: "It can be regarded as an honorable thing, your face is thicker than the city wall. If I were Princess Chuling, I would immediately drive you out of the marriage recruitment meeting." Sun Ben said with a smile: "It's a pity that you are not a county Lord, in fact, in this world, compared to rigid little Taoist priests, so-called chivalrous men who have nothing but lip service, and princes who rely on their father's blessing, many women prefer me. He is handsome, uninhibited, and a bit evil, with high martial arts skills and great ambitions." Luo Lingzhi smiled lightly indifferently.Le Yue frowned, the so-called young man who has no other skills except playing tricks, could it be that he is a young man?There is no mistake!The merits of this young hero are so numerous that you can't let you obliterate them with a single word!Jealousy, this is Sun Ben's jealousy that this young hero is better than him!Hmph, this young hero is broad-minded and doesn't care about him.Zhao Yuan said angrily: "Le Yue has many advantages!" Although he is poor in martial arts, has no talent, no family background, and is not as good-looking as Luo Lingzhi, but he has a good heart!It's a pity that its voice was not loud enough, and it was suppressed by Lin Qing.Lin Qing faced Sun Ben with a disgusted expression on her face: "I was wrong. Compared with your face, the city wall is too far behind. What's wrong with the rigid little Taoist priests? Some people are defeated by others." Sun Ben Ben raised the corner of his mouth: "At that time, I was injured by a cold arrow." Lin Qing said: "Oh, I remember someone admitted that even if he was not injured, he couldn't dodge that trick. Now do you want to admit it?" Sun Benhuan He raised his arms: "Yes, I still admit that I can't dodge that trick, but I will prevent him from having a chance to use that trick."

Lin Qing curled her lips, too lazy to talk to him.Luo Lingzhi still smiled with a good temper.Du Ruyuan waved that golden folding fan and looked at a Jianghu miscellaneous newspaper: "Wanjuanzhai even listed the candidates who might be selected. I have never participated, but I am still ranked first." Le Yue leaned over to look, The entire newspaper was full of matters related to the princess's selection of husbands, and predicted the most likely to become county horses, and the first one was Du Ruyuan, the son of Prince Dingnan.Nangong Ling and Wen Ji were also among them. Unexpectedly, the illegitimate son Wen Ji ranked higher than Nangong Ling, the eldest son of the Nangong family.There is a note in the back saying that the princess recruited the county horse in order to recruit a man who could avenge his father. Neither the Wen family nor the Nangong family could help the West county in terms of military strength, and Wen Ji was an illegitimate son, so he was obviously more powerful than Nangong Ling. More suitable for upside-down doors.Of course, there were no names of Le Yue and Sun Ben in these lists. As a result, at the end of the predicted list, a simple portrait was drawn, labeled "mysterious boy of unknown origin".Le Yue said: "Jianghu miscellaneous newspapers are really cunning. This is the last item. In case the selected person is not on the list, it will be said to be this mysterious boy. No matter what happens." Du Ruyuan shook his fan and said : "No, no, if this is the case, wouldn't it be better to say that they are mysterious people, why bother to specifically say young people? Among the candidates, most of them can't be called young people." Said: The sky is vast, the land is vast, the phoenix is ​​hidden and the flood is hidden, and Hugh is young and young, it is immeasurable.Le Yue felt that this line of small characters was so mysterious that it looked like a signature in a temple, so he scratched his head: "Or maybe the sentence between the mysterious boy and the young boy Xiu just wanted to imply that the princess likes someone younger than herself?" Du Ruyuan shook his head again.

Lin Jing was holding another newspaper: "This tabloid is so well-informed. Look here——The young master of the Tang Sect is responsible for the county horse, and the infatuated girl reluctantly abandons her old love. It was something we saw when we were patrolling the night in Ziyang Town. We were the only ones who saw it at the time, so why would they know about it." Le Yue said: "It's not surprising, maybe they had another fight later." Lin Qing frowned: "No!" Handing the tabloid in front of Le Yue, "Look Here, "Beside the city wall, under the big tree, there is no one in the middle of the night, only the moon is hazy. Tears flow a thousand lines, and I can't call them back. The heartbroken man is obviously the ones we saw. Le Yue took a closer look: "Yes, it's strange. Yes, we didn't say it, could it be that the two told Wanjuanzhai's informant? "Lin Qing said with a blank face: "Such embarrassing things will definitely not be said by yourself. Le Yue also frowned, this is indeed strange, could it be——Lin Qing squinted at Sun Ben: "You were also hiding in the dark at that time, maybe you said it?" "Le Yue just wanted to persuade Lin Qing not to blame Sun Ben for any bad things, but Sun Ben smiled first: "Congratulations, miss, I have learned something more about you. "Lin Qing's expression froze instead: "No way, it's really you." Sun Ben nodded frankly: "People are in the rivers and lakes, and if you earn money, you earn it. The more the better.Wanjuanzhai's remuneration is very high. "

He then added, "Of course, such a sentence with artistic conception cannot be written below. The signature in the lower right corner at the end is provided by Passerby C. As for the author, Youyou Haitangsheng, I don't know him. It should be Wanjuanzhai." My own." Du Ruyuan closed the folding fan and said with a smile: "I never thought that Sun Xiashi and I are of the same kind." Sun Ben said modestly: "My son appreciates the award." The two looked at each other and smiled, showing sympathy for each other.Lin Qing was speechless.Le Yue regretted endlessly in his heart, there is such a way to make money, why didn't he think of it?In vain let Sun Ben earn the money.Sun Ben claimed that he still had important things to do, took Fei Xianfeng to leave, and generously left the stack of Jianghu miscellaneous newspapers for Le Yue and others for reference.After he left, Du Ruyuan picked up the tabloid that predicted the candidate for the county horse: "Sun Ben was here just now, I didn't mention it." He took the folded folding fan and drew a circle around the small portrait of the mysterious boy, " Look, who does this portrait look like?" Le Yue, Zhao Yuan, Lin Qing, and Luo Lingzhi all looked at it carefully, Zhao Yuan poked the portrait with his paw, but the face was not completely drawn, what do you think?The other three narrowed their eyes, and Lin Qing said: "The style of the tied hair, the shape of the face, and the approximate age..." Why, so like... Zhao Yuan found that their eyes were all on him from the tabloids , looking around with some doubts: "Who do you see it looks like?" Le Yue replied simply and clearly: "Like you." Lin Qing nodded, Zhao Yuan was stunned.Du Ruyuan said: "Of course, this matter has little impact on us, so don't pay attention to it for the time being." The folding fan pointed to another newspaper on the table beside him, "The one that has the most relationship with us should be here." Le Yue waited along Looking at where he pointed, he saw an article on the upper left of the tabloid, which was taboo because of its relationship with the imperial court, and there were only a few lines - the crown prince returned to Beijing, the canonization ceremony was about to be held, and a will has been made today.In the evening, the servants of the Prince's Mansion of the West County sent a sticker stating that tonight at You Hour, the princess will have a banquet in the mansion for everyone who just arrived today to participate in the election.Each candidate can bring two attendants.Anyone who has received an invitation to attend the banquet has already passed the first level, and those who have not received it will have to pack up and leave.It is clearly written in Jianghu magazines that from the city gate to the hotel, there are eyeliners of the West County Prince's Mansion everywhere. They look like servants or officials who know guests, but they are actually secretly considering the character and behavior of the candidates-this is actually is the first filter.Those with deformed bodies, those with bad teeth, those over forty years old, and those with rough behavior like market hustlers will be singled out and screened out one by one.Le Yue weighed the invitation card in his hands, no wonder every candidate had to take a bath after arriving, it is possible that the consideration was more thorough in the bathhouse.He had passed the first level, but he didn't know whether the princess gave this invitation to him or Du Ruyuan.I can only bring two more people to the banquet, who is better to bring?Le Yue has a headache.

Originally, one of them must be Du Ruyuan, but Du Ruyuan was unwilling to go anyway, saying that he had a sore back and back pain after traveling for days and needed to rest early.Le Yue persuaded him dryly: "Brother Du, this is the first time I've ever attended a banquet in my life. I don't know any rules. Without your guidance, I might make a fool of myself." Du Ruyuan waved his hand: "It's okay, the banquet tonight It is intended to consider character. The princess is looking for a husband who can help her avenge her. It doesn't matter whether the meal is elegant or not. It doesn't matter whether the behavior is gentle or not. Or, you can let brother Luo go with you." Seeing that persuasion was useless, Le Yue was about to invite Luo Lingzhi instead, but Lin Qing stepped forward and said, "Luo Lingzhi is not suitable either." Luo Lingzhi is more handsome and refined than Le Yue, It is more popular with ordinary girls.Lin Qing was worried that Le Yue would be overwhelmed by him.Le Yue was puzzled and asked: "Why?" Lin Qing stammered: "Because... because I want to go out with Luo Lingzhi at night to find out the background of other people." Luo Lingzhi agreed with Lin Qing, thinking to check other people situation is more important.Le Yue looked at Lin Qing in astonishment: "That is to say, even you can't go with me?" Lin Qing was also stunned for a moment.That's right, she was only focused on stopping Luo Lingzhi, but she didn't expect to take the opportunity of going to the banquet with Le Yue as well.But Le Yue's words indicated that he originally planned to invite her to go with him, which made Lin Qing very happy.She then said: "It's even more inappropriate for me to go. I'm a girl. If you take me to the wedding reception, it's a bit disrespectful to the princess." Le Yue said: "It doesn't matter." He didn't do it in front of Du Ruyuan Say the following sentence face-to-face—I never planned to marry the Princess anyway.Lin Qing understood what he meant, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.Zhao Yuan tugged on Le Yue's sleeve: "I'll go with you." Le Yue didn't give priority to taking it there, it thought it was normal because it couldn't help, but if there was no one else to accompany Le Yue, it would Go with Le Yue.Le Yue patted it on the shoulder: "This is a good brother." Ying Ze said slowly: "I will also go with you." This... Le Yue was silent for a while.Ying Ze said: "I've always done things to take care of the younger generation." He squinted at Le Yue, and a small black cloud formed above his head, "Or, you don't want to accept my love, and you think I'm not worthy of it." ?” Le Yue immediately laughed and said, “No, I am very lucky to have His Highness’s advice.”

There is a special long alley in the hotel where the candidates live, leading to the Xijun Wangfu, where the evening banquet is held.On the way to the Xijun Prince's Mansion on foot, there were quite a few candidates waiting for the election, and most of them greeted Le Yue politely. At the end of the day, these people would often ask, "Why didn't Prince Du come with Shaoxia Le?" Le Yue He and Zhao Yuan took turns to answer: "Your Majesty is too tired from the journey, and he is not feeling well. Rest in the room." Those people stopped asking more questions and walked away.The Palace of the West Commandery is not as gorgeous as the Palace of the Prince of Dingnan. The houses and pavilions all look a little old, simple and mellow. There are mourning curtains hanging everywhere in the mansion, without a trace of lively colors. The servants and maids are all dressed in dark blue or dark green clothes, white lanterns, and white candles. , Even the tassels under the lanterns are dark blue.It was almost summer at this time, but when stepping into the Xijun Prince's Mansion, Le Yue suddenly felt the chill of late autumn and winter.It was almost dark, and there were only lush green trees in the courtyard, not a single brightly colored flower.Le Yue Zhaoyuan and Ying Ze walked into a spacious hall with the flow of people.There were about 50 people who received the invitation, some came alone, and some brought one or two entourages.It adds up to about four and fifty people.There were five round tables in the living room, and everyone sat down modestly. Le Yue picked up the bottom table and sat down at the most inconspicuous place against the wall, so that he could have a full meal without attracting attention.

Sun Ben was sitting impressively at the top round table, and Fei Xianfeng was sitting beside him. When he saw Le Yue, he cupped his fists far away as a greeting.The valiant Jianghu guests rushed to sit at the upper round table like Sun Ben, while the well-dressed children in long gowns and entourages mostly chose the lower table to show humility.Le Yue found that in the end, the table he chose was filled with the most experienced young masters.A man in a jade-colored gown sat down beside Zhao Yuan and greeted them with a smile.Le Yue and Zhao Yuan looked at him blankly, and Le Yue said haha: "Well, it turned out to be Xiongtai, it's a pleasure to meet you." The man said: "Today in the bathroom, Wen forgot to ask Xiongtai's surname. He's famous." Le Yue and Zhao Yuan suddenly remembered that he was Wen Ji, the young master of the Wen family.Le Yue reported his name, and Wen Ji was surprised: "It turns out that Brother Le is the young knight who defended the city and defeated bandits and monsters. He has admired him for a long time, but he lost his respect for Le Yue before." The rest of the people in the seat immediately joined Le Yue I'm sorry to say it politely.Le Yue hurriedly said humbly: "Don't dare to be or not, it's because the Jianghu seniors who were present at the time were amazing, and I'm just getting the honor by the way." It seems that Jianghu's miscellaneous newspapers are indeed selling well.It is inconvenient for Princess Chu Ling to come forward, so the foreign affairs manager of the West County Prince's Mansion will accompany the guests on his behalf. After a few pleasantries, the banquet will start, and the food and wine will be served. During the banquet, he cheered up his spirits and prepared to have a big meal quietly. Ying Ze aimed at the nearest dish and put his chopsticks down, eating hard.Zhao Yuan only felt dazzled, poked Le Yue secretly, and asked in a low voice: "What are those dishes that look like small cups over there?" Le Yue whispered: "Shh, calm down. That should be bird's nest." They No matter how low the voice was, it was hard to escape the ears of the other people at the same table, but they were very self-cultivated and kept their faces calm, as if they hadn't heard it.Zhao Yuan looked around, thinking no one was paying attention, and asked Le Yue again: "What is a bird's nest?" Le Yue explained to it in a low voice: "It's a swallow's nest." He couldn't help but let out a smile.Zhao Yuan was puzzled, can swallows' nests be eaten?Mortals are strange.Wen Ji raised his hand to scoop up a bird's nest, put it into the small dish in front of him, tasted it, and showed admiration: "I have heard for a long time that the master chef of Xijun Palace is very skilled, and it is really good. This winter melon pigeon cup is delicious and unique. Everyone, you might as well try it too." After the banquet, when returning to the hotel, Le Yue deliberately walked up to Wen Ji and said thank you: "I just made a joke at the banquet, and I used the winter melon pigeon cup as a cup of tea. Thank you Brother Wen for taking the opportunity to remind us and not embarrassing us." Wen Ji said: "Brother Le, you are being polite. Mistakes are common. It was the first time I ate crabs and I didn't know how to pry the shell."

After returning to the hotel room, Luo Lingzhi, Lin Qing and Du Ruyuan were all waiting outside, Lin Qing jumped up and asked Le Yue about the banquet tonight, Le Yue said: "It's okay, the food is very good, eat all of them I'm quite full." Zhao Yuan and Ying Ze rubbed their stomachs and agreed with his words.Lin Qing said: "Did you come up with a problem specially to test you?" Le Yue shook his head: "No, it's just eating. After eating, I will come back." Lin Qing asked again: "Then the person who ate with you Don’t they all have a history?” Le Yue shook his head again: “I don’t know, except for Wen Ji and Sun Ben, I don’t know anyone else.” Zhao Yuan interjected: “We made a joke, it’s my fault, messing around. I asked Le Yue, but in the end I took the winter melon pigeon soup as a bird’s nest.” Le Yue sighed: “It’s my fault, the county palace hosts a banquet every day to entertain the candidates, if this winter melon soup is really a bird’s nest, it’s a one-dish dish If you use more than a dozen, the five tables will cost more than 60, which is too expensive, how is it possible." He raised his hand and slapped his forehead, "Yes, from the time I entered the city gate, I felt that this time The recruiting party seems a bit weird, but I can't say it out, and now I have figured it out." Lin Qing stared at him with wide eyes: "What's weird? I checked with Luo Lingzhi today and there is no weirdness. Du Shudai didn't either. See what it is, are you thinking too much?" Luo Lingzhi followed, and tonight, he and Lin Qing checked the other candidates living in the mansion, and they all looked like decent Jianghu people or kind-hearted families My son, there is nothing strange.Le Yue rubbed his chin: "Maybe I was thinking too much. Anyway, we'll talk about it tomorrow." When it was time to go to bed, the bedroom was assigned, Lin Qing slept in the small one, and the rest slept in the big one.Luo Lingzhi had already bought mats, pillows and thin quilts in the afternoon, and they were still distributed as they were when they stayed in the inn. Du Ruyuan and Wu Gui slept on the beds, while Le Yue, Luo Lingzhi, Zhao Yuan and Ying Ze all slept on the floor.Du Ruyuan was modest about this allocation, thinking that it should be Le Yue or Luo Lingzhi's turn to sleep in order, and he slept on the floor.Le Yue laid out the mat and said: "Brother Du, you should save yourself. You are a scholar, unlike me and Brother Luo, who have practiced martial arts and are physically strong. Sleeping on the floor is more comfortable." Du Ruyuan said solemnly: " Brother, don't look down on scholars. Those who read sages and sages are happy to be poor. You can eat in the breeze or sleep in mountains and rocks. " Le Yue and Luo Lingzhi didn't answer, and Lin Qing raised her voice in the small room: "Du Shudai, Before you brag about your poverty, first take off that golden peacock costume." Du Ruyuan shook his head sadly: "I am like this, is it just to support Brother Yue? I have no knowledge or knowledge." Lin Qing said: "I See, you want to show off yourself, don't use Le Yue as an excuse." They were not in the same room, and they could still fight again, Le Yue was quite impressed, when Lin Qing and Du Ruyuan were still fighting, he had already laid the floor and lay down. up.

Zhao Yuan changed back into a dragon shape and crawled into Le Yue's bed. Long after the lights were turned off, Le Yue's breathing still didn't get longer. Zhao Yuan leaned over to his ear and whispered, "Do you still think it's strange to invite relatives?"

Le Yueen gave a sigh, turned to face it and whispered: "I want to check something, you can go with me tomorrow."

Zhao Yuan happily agreed, retracted into the corner of the quilt, and fell asleep soundly.

There is still more than a month before the relative meeting on May [-]th. During this time, candidates in the hotel can freely move about in the city.

The Xijun Palace stipulated that the registration deadline for the election was April [-], and then, every ten days, a round of written examinations would be conducted for all candidates. The Princess herself chooses.

Some candidates complained that the selection of concubines by the emperor was nothing more than that.
