Ninth Grade Jailer: He actually went on a blind date with the leader of the Demon Cult at the beginn

The cold autumn is raging unbridled across the vast northern land, and even snowflakes occasionally fall. Unknowingly, it is the end of October...

This day.

Even if it's cold, it still can't stop the enthusiasm and bustle in Luoyang city.

Especially the restaurants and tea shops along the street near Donghua Gate are already overcrowded. And all the scholars gathered together, high-spirited, inspiring words, and pointing out the country.

They talked loudly while waiting for good news.

Today is the day when Qiu Wei releases the results.

Han Chuang has been studying hard for more than ten years. Whether he can reach high school and enter the gentry class in one fell swoop, the answer will be revealed today!

Qingfeng Tower.

Cui Liyan and other Lushan students gathered in a private room, and Lu Zhishan from the Imperial College also sneaked in at some unknown time.

Li Nuo didn't raise any objection when he saw this.

This great talent from the south of the Yangtze River was regarded as a prodigal who had turned his back on his evil ways, so he allowed Fatty Lu to join their small group.

Li Nuo smiled and said, Are you confident that you can win the first prize in one fell swoop?

Of course he was asking Cui Liyan.

Because Lu Zhishan is already the leader of Jiangnan Jieyuan. He is currently studying in the Imperial College and is waiting for Enke in the coming spring. If Cui Liyan can also win Jieyuan, then they can take the next Enke exam at the same time, and then truly compete in this much-anticipated Jinshi field!

Cui Liyan had a bitter look on his face: Brother Li, it's not that easy. As long as I can pass the examination, thank God! I don't expect to win the first prize in one fell swoop.

Senior Brother Li and Junior Brother Cui's strategies are eye-opening to us. If we can't win the prize this time, we will definitely write a letter to the court so that Di Shangshu can't bear the consequences!

Brother Cui, don't be humble. There is only one stone in the world, and Senior Brother Li has eight buckets. You have one bucket, and I will divide the remaining one bucket equally. If you don't understand Yuan, who has the qualifications?

All the students joked.

Although Li Nuo is the crown prince and grand master, in the eyes of these junior brothers in Lushan, he is still their most respected senior brother.

Lu Zhishan also smiled and said: Brother Cui, you are too humble. We are all our own people here, so there is no need to hide it. Just tell the truth, how good is the Gyeonggi Province Jieyuan? grasp?

Cui Liyan was still very cautious.

Otherwise, if you talk wildly but don’t realize it, your face will hurt...

He said seriously: There are many talented people in the world, so we can't underestimate them. It's useless to talk about it now. The rankings will be announced soon.

You are too old, you don't look like a young person at all. You are boring, very boring...

Lu Zhishan curled his lips and was very unhappy.

A few moments...

The gongs and drums were beating loudly, followed by a burst of crackling firecrackers.

Several young men who announced the good news rushed into the Qingfeng Tower, smiling brightly and singing loudly: In the 106th year of Yongnian, the 55th Young Master Lin Ziyu in the Gyeonggi Province Provincial Examination...

Sing three times in a row.

Crowded.

I got it! I got it! Hahaha, God finally opened his eyes!

A young man with a patch on his Confucian shirt rushed out of the door wildly, singing loudly and crying with joy.

Enlightened at the age of seven, he studied hard for twenty years, and now he is a high school candidate. Lin Ziyu is so crazy, and everyone responds with kind smiles.

Everyone can understand it.

Why are you still standing there? Give me money quickly.

A companion reminded him with a smile.

Yes, yes, thank you guys for reporting the good news. Just a small amount of money is not disrespectful. I'll treat you to a few jugs of warm wine!

Lin Ziyu hurriedly took out the reward money from his arms. My hands were shaking, and I touched it several times before I took it out and handed it to the boy.

Thank you so much for the gift of money from the Juren Master. We can also share in the joy.

The boys took it with smiles.

Haha, congratulations, Brother Lin!

Brother Lin finally passed the exam. Congratulations. Brother Lin, I'd like to give you a drink!

Lin Ziyu held his head high and accepted the congratulations from everyone.

Gyeonggi Province only admitted 60 candidates.

And there are more than 10,000 candidates!

He ranked fifty-fifth in the exam, and he was indeed able to cross the single-plank bridge with thousands of troops and enter high school!

Li Nuo looked at the actions downstairs and said with emotion: Everything is of inferior quality, only reading is good. The ancients would not bully me.

Lu Zhishan immediately flattered him: Brother is always full of witty words. These words really express the true meaning of being a scholar!

Li Nuo didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

As the time goes.

From time to time there are firecrackers.

Ten people in their private room have also been hit.

This is incredible!

From Lushan College, ten people passed the exam. In addition to the Imperial College on the other side, almost the same number of people were successful.

It can be said that Lushan and Imperial College together account for half of the scientific research in the north!

The ranking quickly reached the top ten...

Cui Liyan seemed calm and calm, but Li Nuo could tell from the way he drank tea from time to time that he was still very nervous.

Too.

Already in the top ten.

If Cui Liyan's name is not there, it means he failed the list.

Although Cui Liyan is only twenty years old, compared with those students who passed the exam in their thirties, he is still very young and has plenty of time, but if he really fails, the blow will still be big.

After all, he is also Wang Yangming's favorite disciple, and he is even known as a young talent in Lushan.

If you fail in all of these, you will be embarrassed and thrown into your grandma’s house.

Of course, Cui Liyan's real goal is to be in the top three.

After all, he is Cui Wugui's grandson!

Moreover, as long as he gets into the top three, he will have more capital to get engaged to the Wang family.

Talented scholar, child prodigy...these names can only be recognized by scientific examinations and are recognized as real money. Otherwise, it's all just bragging.

From time to time, a servant would rush over to announce the good news.

In the private room, the atmosphere was slightly depressing.

Now, only the top five rankings remain to be announced.

Li Nuo believed that Cui Liyan would definitely win this Jieyuan. He has also read Cui Liyan's writing on weekdays, and his writing style is full of vitality.

Cui Liyan's talent was recognized by him.

As for the eighty-three-year-old examiner Di Zhengming, Li Nuo also believed that this old guy would never do anything wrong at this moment when everyone in the world was watching.

They are all veteran foxes who have been on the battlefield for a long time. They should not be stupid enough to cheat, otherwise they will be in danger of losing their security at the end of the season.

And Di Zhengming didn't have the need. If Cui Liyan can be singled out as Jieyuan, that would be a good story!

After all, this is the direct son and grandson of the Cui family!

A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Who doesn't want to be friends with the Cui family? Why do you have to offend the Cui family?

Do you want to test whether your brain is tough?

Fourth place...Zhang Chengda from Imperial College!

Third place...Xu Yuncheng, the Imperial Academy!

In the Zhuangyuan Building across the street, firecrackers were flying, gongs and drums were beating, and it was so lively that the whole of Luoyang knew about it.

Li Nuo frowned.

Zhang Chengda, this man comes from a poor family. He has been studying hard in the Imperial College and has never participated in any cultural banquets. It is not surprising that he ranked fourth.

And Xu Yuncheng, who won third place... Of course Li Nuo was still impressed.

This is the third child of the Xu family.

At the birthday party of Mr. Qin, he had a conflict with this person at the gate of Qin Mansion.

And Xu Yunchuan, the second eldest son of the Xu family, was beheaded by him in the street. Naturally, the hatred between him and the Xu family was irreconcilable.

But Xu Jia can't help it, he is now the crown prince and grand master!

Admittedly, Li Nuo had no intention of wiping out the Xu family. Because the Xu family is very low-key now.

That kind of method of directly killing someone on unfounded charges is not his character, and he doesn't even bother to do it.

Killing was not what he wanted.

He is, um...he is a very kind and upright person!

Lu Zhishan was also a little impatient at this time: The third place was taken away by Xu Yuncheng, and there are still two places left. Brother Cui, don't worry, you will definitely be among these two places!

...Second place, Nangong Zishuo!

The boy who reported the news ran excitedly into the Zhuangyuan Building across the street.

Nangong Zishuo, how could he come in second?

Impossible! There's something wrong with him!

Everyone was confused and in disbelief.

It's him?

Li Nuo was slightly surprised.

His winery business is now fully cooperating with the Nangong family and has been sold to the Western Regions.

However, he is very familiar with Nangong Ziyu, a descendant of the Nangong family. Nangong Ziyu, who followed the Mo path, was Qin Xiaolou's follower.

Qin Xiaolou's three-color flying sky-escaping and sea-diving sacred cow also has Nangong's strength.

Moreover, cooperating with the Nangong family in the winery business was also for Nangong Ziyu's sake.

As for this direct descendant Nangong Zishuo...

Li Nuo was a little confused.

Because Nangong Zishuo had provoked him when he was bidding farewell to his mentor in Baqiao. Then he composed a shocking farewell poem, which slapped him in the face on the spot. Nangong Zishuo was still kneeling and reciting the poem at that time. He didn't know whether his literary heart was broken or not, but it was bound to be covered in dust.

I didn’t expect that I could still get second place after ending up like this?

But when I think about the financial resources of the Nangong family... maybe they also purchased a panacea like [Wenxin] for this direct descendant?

A trace of cold sweat broke out on Cui Liyan's forehead.

Xu Yuncheng was talented, and he recognized it.

But Nangong Zishuo, who had never been regarded as his opponent, occupied the second place...

As a result, only Jieyuan remains to be revealed.

And he suddenly discovered that there was another person who was not inferior to him in talent who had not been named!

The son of Princess Taiping - Zheng Xiaoze!

This guy missed several autumns due to various reasons, but his talent is definitely not inferior, and he is already twenty-seven years old, so I don’t know how much talent he has accumulated!

This is his biggest enemy!

Therefore, one of them must be defeated...

And this person is very likely to be him!

Cui Liyan was sitting upright and very nervous, especially when he saw from the window sill that Zheng Xiaoze and others were sitting in the private room in the Zhuangyuan Building opposite.

Maybe it's a tacit understanding.

Zheng Xiaoze also turned his head and met Cui Liyan's eyes.

Next to Zheng Xiaoze, there were several Imperial College students, and they also cast provocative looks.

Xu Yuncheng, Zhang Chengda and others are also there.

This is really...

The needle is pointed at the wheat awn!

Because of his position, Li Nuo happened to be blocked by the window sill, so he was not seen by them.

Xu Yuncheng immediately burst into laughter: Cui Liyan, you are still young. If you work harder and fight again next year, you still have a chance to win!

Jie Yuan is none other than Mr. Zheng. Cui Liyan, let's go back and practice again.

Lu Zhishan, you traitor, you are a student of the Imperial Academy, why are you getting involved with Lushan?

The pedestrians laughed.

The reason why I dare to be so sure. It was because they learned from Zheng Xiaoze that Princess Taiping and Prince Consort Zheng Qinwen visited Master Di late at night the day before yesterday...

In addition, Zheng Xiaoze is really talented in literature, and he always dominates the literary banquets. If this is not Jieyuan, who else can he be?

Cui Liyan, who was originally a little nervous, now relaxed.

Li Nuo is still calm and calm.

The layout is different, and the things you see are naturally different.

Cui Liyan must be Jieyuan without a doubt!

No one can do it but him.

At least in the year that Emperor Jingtai succeeds to the throne, the Cui family must not fall.

Even the eighty-three-year-old Di Zhengming must give Cui Wuhui face!

Of course, the premise is that Cui Liyan's test paper cannot be too bad.

Will it be bad?

Of course not.

But what makes Li Nuo a little curious is why Zheng Xiaoze can't even enter the top 30? I'm afraid that I will lose my reputation. Could it be that the policy paper is off-topic?

Won't.

He also recognized Zheng Xiaoze's talent.

So……

Someone must have done something!

However, although Princess Taiping has lost some power, the title of princess is still there. Who dares to offend a direct princess?

Could it be...

Li Nuo had a calculation in his mind.

Prince Consort Zheng!

He has been a cuckold for twenty-seven years! Even though Princess Taiping is now willing to live a good life with him, how can this resentment be eliminated so easily?

Raise other people's seeds and still watch for success?

Any man would feel aggrieved, right?

Li Nuo even wondered maliciously whether Zheng Prince Consort had used some tricks in the tribute examinations in previous years. Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that Zheng Xiaoze always missed the examinations perfectly?

…

When a boy came running from Donghua Gate to announce the good news, the students on the two floors were all looking forward to it.

The answer will be revealed soon!

The boy ran to the street between the two floors and gasped...

Everyone was nervous.

The boy felt something. He looked up and saw hundreds of pairs of eyes staring straight at him. It was so scary.

He was so frightened that he didn't even dare to knock the gong.

He gritted his teeth and finally turned to Qingfeng Tower.

This made the faces of the people upstairs at the No. 1 Scholar turn pale.

Could this guy be in a panic, right?

The students in Qingfeng Tower immediately started making noises.

You know, the second and third places are both in the Number One Scholar Building opposite!

Everyone is holding their breath and want to compete!

Now Xinke Jieyuanhua falls in Qingfeng Tower, and she is very proud and proud!

Lu Zhishan was overjoyed: Brother Cui, you are the only one who can solve the problem!

Sure enough, the boy entered the hall and immediately chanted: Jie Yuan, Jieyuan... This is Mr. Cui Liyan of the Cui family. I also invite Mr. Cui to come out and answer.

Go quickly!

Lu Zhishan hurriedly pushed Cui Liyan out of the room.

Li Nuo curled his lips.

The younger brother was born in Lushan, and he also has a bright face when he is in Jieyuan.

But at this moment, he suddenly felt uneasy.

Through the window sill, he cast his eyes into the distance.

A group of red-clothed lamas walked slowly, passing by the street two floors down and heading towards Donghua Gate. During this period, there was a barefoot monk holding a staff in one hand and a begging bowl in the other.

Li Nuo took a deep breath.

The tantric monk...has he finally lost his patience?

Sure enough, the leader, the monk Zhiche, burst out laughing: Haha, are these the Zhuangyuan Tower and Qingfeng Tower? I heard that all the people who took the new imperial examination in Gyeonggi Province are here. The poor monk Zhiche comes from the Western Regions and wants to be at Donghua Gate. Let’s get off the stage and compete with the Dayin scholars. I wonder if you dare to fight! Hahaha!”

Zhiche laughed and led the monks in red towards Donghua Gate.

All the scholars are angry!

Today is the grand day for the release of the results, and there will be a thank-you banquet in the evening. These lamas really know how to pick the almanac and chose today to cause trouble!

This is clearly a deliberate attempt to find trouble.

unlucky!

What is intolerable is unbearable.

A lesson must be given!

So, everyone shouted in unison: Zhi Che? Could it be the senior brother of Lama Zhi Qing who escaped from Chang'an like a lost dog last time? Haha, you really don't have a long memory, and you come to the Central Plains to provoke again.

You bald donkeys, let me shave your heads with my sharp words to prevent your hair from growing out again!

Everyone, let's go and see what these bald donkeys are up to!

So the scholars went downstairs one after another, followed in groups to Donghua Gate.

Just right.

After a while, we will pass through Donghua Gate and enter the Imperial City.

The teacher-appreciation banquet is in the imperial city, and all the successful candidates will attend.

Brother, shall we join in the fun?

Lu Zhishan was very excited, These bald donkeys really won't shed tears until they see the coffin. I'm so hungry for words and words!

Seeing everyone's high morale, Li Nuo certainly wouldn't disturb their interest.

So a group of them also walked together.

In front of Donghua Gate.

At this time, the gongs and drums were playing extremely noisily.

Especially those ladies who had never left home before, but today they also painted their eyebrows and lips, put on heavy makeup and light makeup, and dressed themselves up beautifully as they walked down the street.

Hey.

Maybe I can catch my son-in-law!

Zhiche and his party stood under the Donghua Gate and kept arguing with the challenging scholars.

This Zhi Che was also extraordinary, with extraordinary attainments in literature and art. After a while, those scholars who challenged him were dejected and retreated in shame.

Amitabha, I have met Donor Li.

The barefoot monk walked up to Li Nuo and bowed.

At this time, the hair on Li Nuo's body stood on end.

He couldn't feel the monk's aura fluctuations!

This is enough to show that this old monk's cultivation is far above him.

He is a third-grade martial artist!

If a monk is more powerful than him, isn't that a second-grade monk?

Manjushri?

It must be!

Who else could it be but him?

Li Nuo took a deep breath, cupped his fists and returned the greeting: I don't know if Manjushri Bodhisattva is in front of him, I am disrespectful and disrespectful.

The old monk smiled and said: Donor Li is really smart and wise, he recognized the poor monk so quickly.

Li Nuo said warily: I wonder what matters Manjushri Bodhisattva has come to see me this time?

Manjushri Bodhisattva had something to say: The poor monk has lost something. He has come all the way from the Western Regions to the Central Plains to find this thing. I wonder if the donor has seen it?

I've seen it, it's in my hand!

Li Nuo admitted generously.

People have come to the door in person, so they must be confident.

Besides, he didn't bother to make excuses with the other party.

He is taking the Overlord route, practicing the Overlord way, and with the bonus of [Literary Boldness], he naturally disdains those little tricks.

Monk Manjusri was also slightly stunned.

He didn't expect that the other party would admit it generously.

He said: Amitabha, Donor Li, the [Buddha Kingdom in the Palm] is the most precious treasure of Tantric Buddhism. Please return it to the poor monk.

Manjushri Bodhisattva's words are wrong. This thing is destined to me, and I have also transferred it to my Li family.

Li Nuo smiled and shook his head.

Hehe, whoever said this is so relieved!

Manjusri opened his mouth, but could not speak.

These words... why do they sound so familiar?
