Chapter 526 The Imperial City
Lin Ruofan checked the information here all night, but most of it was the historical documents of the town, and the rest of the information about "this world" was very limited, and it was basically the same as what he learned from Village Chief Li, and there were no new discoveries.

The second wave of assessment was three days later, but due to the long distance, Lin Ruofan had to set off early, that is to say, he had to set off after dawn, and this time the mayor personally accompanied him.

Before leaving, people from all over the world came to see Lin Ruofan off, and everyone paid for a good meal, hoping that Lin Ruofan could bring glory to the town.

Because in the historical records around this town, only someone from decades ago passed the second wave of assessments, but it was a pity that they stopped at the third wave.

Because Lin Ruofan's strength is so strong that everyone has never seen before, many people also "courageously" told Lin Ruofan that they hoped that he would become the first person in the history of this neighborhood to officially join the Warriors, and they would be able to brag about it in the future Yeah, at least it can blow for decades.

Lin Ruofan smiled and said that he would do his best and win!

It took about a day's journey after they set off, but unfortunately the most developed means of transportation is only horse-drawn carriages. They arrived in the imperial city the day before the second wave of exams.

As expected, this imperial city is still an imperial city. As the only place in the world that can be regarded as a "city", its prosperity and liveliness are naturally not comparable to those of towns.

After seeing Lin Ruofan's strength, the mayor also became more confident, saying that he would spend all his savings, and the government would reimburse him for food, drink, housing and transportation here. As for other entertainment activities, the mayor paid for them and lent them to Lin Ruofan. 5000 yuan.

As for the 5000 yuan, in a place with high prices like the Imperial City, it can be spent for about seven or eight days at a medium standard.

However, Lin Ruofan didn't intend to spend money, and he didn't want to go out to drink and have fun. After all, the government arranged food and drink, and the food was not bad. It's better to save this money for Village Chief Li and the others. They really need money.

After admiring Lin Ruofan, the mayor also said, "Brother Ruofan, I can understand your thoughts, but those who come to the imperial city, especially those who take the second wave of exams, usually go to one place, It's become a routine."

Lin Ruofan asked curiously, "Could it be a brothel?" As he spoke, Lin Ruofan pointed to a brothel in front of him.

"Really! But it's not this one, but the most famous Huaxiang Building in the Imperial City."

"Huaxianglou? The name sounds ordinary, and it doesn't give people a refreshing feeling."

The mayor shook his head and gave a "hmm", and then said, "Don't look at it with an ordinary name, it is not for ordinary people to enter. Except for dignitaries, only those who come to take the exam are eligible to enter, and the price will vary. Reduction and exemption, this is also a rule specially arranged by the royal family for the candidates."

"Oh? So, the Huaxiang Building was run by the royal family?"

"Yes!"

In fact, the people who took the exam didn't have a lot of thoughts to find flowers and ask questions, because more candidates gathered here, and they all wanted to take this opportunity to get to know their competitors.

Although every assessment is a big wave, there are cases where a large number of people pass the second wave of assessments. This has happened before, and more than 200 people passed in one go.

But to take the third wave of final exams, there are only 20 places, so naturally there is a temporary admission system, so there will still be competition among them.

Many candidates also made judgments after understanding the situation. After all, many people came only for money. If the overall strength of the people who came to participate together was not high, some people would try to continue.

On the contrary, if there are too many masters, then many people will consider retreating directly, taking the money and leaving.

Lin Ruofan nodded and said with a smile, "Okay! Let's go shopping!"

But before that, the mayor had to take Lin Ruofan to verify his identity. The institution was located next to Huaxiang Building, where he lived.

Speaking of it, it may be that the royal family members want to provide candidates with a relaxed environment, so that everyone can have a better state to participate in the assessment.

As for whether they will really be in a "good state" by then, it's hard to say, it depends on what they are doing in Huaxianglou.

After arriving there, the mayor personally came forward to guarantee that this qualification verification must be no problem. I also met many other mayors here, and they all knew each other.

After all, at least a few or even more people in each town can take the second wave of exams every year.

For example, last year, only four or five people came from our own town, although they all lost the election in the end.Strictly speaking, the strength of this town on our own side is mediocre, and it basically cannot "threat" others, so everyone's attitude towards the mayor is quite good, unlike those towns with stronger strength, who first fight openly and secretly with each other.

However, after hearing about Lin Ruofan's situation, many people became curious.First of all, he is the only one from our side to participate in the second wave of assessment, and he is still a black household!Hold up three big cauldrons easily in one breath!
Even in the imperial city, this matter is relatively rare news.Many people thought the mayor was bragging, and some people laughed at them, thinking that the mayor was here to collect the money this time, deliberately making a gimmick, or just wanting to apply for more.

By the way, the assessment of this second wave is the same as that of the first wave. People from black households also have their own special assessment criteria. If they pass, the third wave will be treated equally.

Therefore, even though Lin Ruofan was considered a dark horse, everyone was not too worried because there were very few people who could pass the second wave of special exams, but this topic was quite hot.

Lin Ruofan also said to himself, laughing at himself, "Okay! I'm still popular wherever I go."

After they came to the Huaxiang Building, the atmosphere was really wonderful. There was singing and dancing, and everyone was eating, drinking, and having fun.

And those guys with serious expressions must be candidates. No one would go to such a place alone to put on a posture of thinking about life.

Lin Ruofan turned on the clairvoyance and scanned it. The general cultivation level of this group of candidates is between the 5th and 8th grades of the earth level, and occasionally some people with the cultivation level of the mysterious level will be seen.

I don't know if there are any more powerful ones this time, anyway, if this is the average level, then Lin Ruofan can pass with his eyes closed.

The mayor chose a table with a better view, on the second floor, because there will be a performance later, it is said that today is the day when Huaxianglou's oiran is "on duty", and many people come for her.

Even if the main purpose of the candidates is to get to know the opponent, everyone is looking forward to seeing her in style.

Even a relatively stable person like the mayor seemed a little excited, Lin Ruofan was really curious, what kind of person is this oiran?Could it be a fairy?

When she appeared on the stage, it was really amazing!Even a well-informed person like Lin Ruofan couldn't help but be moved when he saw her face and temperament.

She seems to have a unique charm. In a place like Huaxianglou, she is the only one with short hair among all the girls. She wears very cool but opaque clothes. This dress is also quite distinctive, which is really refreshing.

"How's it going, brother Lin? Did you open your eyes this time?"

Lin Ruofan didn't respond to the mayor, he turned on the perspective curiously to see that he was still a practitioner, his cultivation was not high at the first rank of Xuan rank, and that was enough to beat half of the candidates present.

What concerned Lin Ruofan the most was that there were a lot of toxins left in her body and the types were different. Could it be that someone poisoned her many times?

Seeing Lin Ruofan staring at him, the mayor thought he was being bewitched by ghosts, so he laughed heartily.

According to the mayor's introduction, this oiran's name is Liu Xiang, which is a common and common name in brothels, but it has a different feeling when it comes to her.

Sometimes such things as charisma are really unclear.

Today her performance is naturally singing and dancing, singing and dancing while holding a pipa, her figure is perfect!Especially the pipa is very good!

The pipa is an extremely difficult instrument, and most people don't practice it intensively for more than ten years, and they can't even get started, let alone reach the level of fragrance retention.Even among the modern performers in the human world, Liu Xiang is considered top-notch, which shows how much hard work she has put in in private.

Curiously, Lin Ruofan asked the mayor about the origin of Huaxianglou.

In fact, the structure of the Huaxiang Building is similar to the official prostitute system in the Ming Dynasty. Some high-ranking officials committed serious crimes, and their children would fill this place, either smashing it or leaving incense.

It is said to be an oiran, but this Liuxiang rarely receives customers, and never crosses the threshold.It is basically impossible for many people to covet her and dream about her. Strictly speaking, she can only be regarded as a dancer.

Lin Ruofan asked curiously, "Mayor, then Liu Xiang's family members are also felons?"

The mayor looked at Lin Ruofan in surprise, and then said, "That's right, you don't know the situation. But there are not many people who don't know about it."

According to the mayor's introduction, Liuxiang's former family members were relatives of the emperor, and they were convicted of a failed conspiracy.At that time, she was just born, and after being sent to Huaxianglou, she must have been taken care of by others. After all, she was a relative of the emperor in the past.

This reminded Lin Ruofan of the ancient TV dramas he had watched in the past, and he couldn't help but sigh, his own status and identity are already beyond the wildest dreams of others, and he still wants to plot rebellion?Why!man!Desire!Can't say.
