Pushing open the door, Xue Qing did not walk down, but stood in the corridor and looked around with the railings.

Someone in the yard saw her waves and greeted her.

"Young Master Qingzi."

"Young Master Qingzi is up."

Xue Qing smiled and waved his hand, holding the railing, shaking his body back and forth, and leaning out half of his body as he looked forward, making Guo Zian frightened behind him.

"Don't move." He couldn't help but whisper.

Xue Qing turned around and smiled at him, nodded, and stood up.

Why didn’t he be so obedient before? Guo Zian thought that everything he did before was annoying.

Zhang Shuangtong yawned over there and walked out of the room. Seeing them raise their hands: "Sanchilang, are you getting up, are you going to have a meal?"

Xue Qing said: "If you don't go... I will continue to accumulate energy."

It was natural to say it, Zhang Shuangtong laughed and walked past her and raised her hand... Liu Chunyang stepped over from the back and broke away, passing through the two of them.

"Eat, so long-lasting," he said, heading forward and going downstairs.

Zhang Shuangtong said: "It doesn't matter whether you eat it or not, it's a waste anyway." He followed him without raising his hand.

On the other side, Pang Anlin's scholar Pei Yanzi and others also walked out, either dressed neatly or had a wide robe. When they saw Xue Qing, they greeted each other, either happy or unhappy.

"The young man is too weak."

"Because of being spoiled, we scholars cannot do this, but we cannot hold our shoulders or hold our hands."

Lin Xiucai and Chen Xun sighed, Xue Qing smiled and said, "It's okay, it's already done." Pei Yanzi looked at her, Xue Qing bowed to him and smiled, "It's okay, it's already done."

Pei Yanzi nodded and said, "I know my own affairs best, as long as I am fine." He walked over without saying anything.

The inn was noisy and vibrant in the early morning. Xue Qing stood outside for a moment and turned back to the room. She just showed her face so that she would not suddenly get up tomorrow and attract everyone's attention. Guo Zi'an took the medicine, Xue Qing raised her head and drank it all, lay down and fell asleep.

The Huangshadao City in the sunlight was like a jar, but there was no lid on the jar. The leader of the black armored guard standing in the distance and looked here withdrew his gaze.

"You are right, there is no airtight place in this world." He said to Duan Shan beside him, "These five worm soldiers are reluctant to leave, not necessarily for the underground palace, but also for people."

Duan Shan said: "It was previously said to the public that the candidates should be able to rest for three days. If the candidates start the exam tomorrow, they can open the city gate."

The leader of the Black Armored Guard nodded and looked back at the Queen's Mausoleum. From a distance, he could hear jinglings and noises when he was close to him. It was easy to destroy and repair slowly.

A day and night passed again. When the morning light enveloped the earth again, the gate of Huangshadao slowly opened. The crowd that had gathered early in the city was in a stir, but did not flock forward but avoided the roadside. The black armored guards, which were as dark as dark clouds, were moving forward. It was not until the black armored guards passed through the city gate that the people rushed forward.

"queue!"

“Don’t be crowded!”

"Take all the things out and check them!"

There was noisy in front of the city gate, and two lines lined up to check slowly. A man with a basket piled up like a mountain on his back attracted many collisions in the team, and the city gate guards also frowned and looked at him.

"...I haven't entered the city for several days, and I have saved a lot of goods." The man explained with a smile.

The guards began to check the basket of wild vegetables and livestock. One of the guards looked at the man and his eyes fell on the hat on the man's head. Although it was autumn, the sun was still very vicious. It was not surprising to wear the hat to protect the sun. He raised his hand and said, "Pick it off."

The man hurriedly took off his hat and held it in his hand, showing his face as honest and anxious.

The guard looked at him: "Where's the man?"

The man said, "Xiaojiatun." The accent is strong.

The guard nodded, the basket over there had been checked, and a hoe was thrown out.

"This is not allowed to be brought in," said the guard.

The man was a little uneasy: "If this is broken, you have to go and repair it..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted: "If you don't leave, go out." With the sound of speaking, the knife was unsheathed. The man was startled and packed up the basket and walked forward quickly. He heard a rumbling sound from behind.

"It's so strict."

"After all, there are so many candidates here, and there are so many adults..."

"It's said there are thieves or something."

The man put the basket on his back and turned the hat gently. In the sunlight, he could see the cold light shining in the hat. He lowered his head and put it on, lowered the brim of the hat and mixed into the crowd along the street.

The city of Huangshadao was also crowded with people. The candidates walked out of various inns to the streets and headed towards the government offices. For many days, the candidates became more familiar with each other, and the hello sounds were heard one after another on the street.

But when a group of candidates entered the street, the noise was quiet for a moment. These young men in white robe were already familiar with each other. Not only their outstanding appearance, but the Xiliang candidates all scored full marks in the two subjects that have been taken. Today, there are fewer candidates in mathematics than in the previous two subjects, but all candidates in Xiliang can still be seen as excellent.

Although the clothes are the same and the appearance is beautiful, the prince of Xiliang, Suo Shengxuan, is still the most conspicuous one.

The quietness and vision of the candidates around did not restrict the Xiliang candidates. They nodded to the surroundings with a smile and showed their graceful demeanor until some candidates came across the street. Seeing one of them, Suo Shengxuan's expression changed slightly.

"Oh! Your Highness, it's morning!" Zhang Shuangtong raised his hand and shouted loudly.

The first person to say hello so enthusiastically. What’s strange is that the person who greeted him is relaxed and casual, but the person who was greeted was a bit strange.

Suo Shengxuan's face regained a smile and raised his hand to return the greeting: "I dare not, I dare not, I am both candidates."

Zhang Shuangtong smiled and said, "What's there to dare to do this? This is born. Your Highness should not deceive yourself."

You're welcome to say this... None of the candidates around you are fools, and the smiles on the faces of the candidates in Xiliang also became faint.

"Have you had a holiday?" A candidate asked in a low voice, "Why do these two parties always feel strange?"

"No... the first time I saw you all over the world... If it is the same, most of the candidates in Chang'an Prefecture got full marks...especially that Xue Qing..."

"Yes, yes, that Xue Qing, made Prince Su vomit blood."

"...Is that jealousy?"

The discussion around became louder, and his eyes looked at a young man among the candidates in Chang'an Prefecture. The young man had a pretty face, wearing a green shirt that was neither new nor old, a bamboo hairpin, and a bamboo stick in his hand... Xue Qing.

Suo Shengxuan looked at the boy who was slowly walking, and his expression flashed with a hint of complexity. He stepped forward and raised his hand to salute: "Young Master Qingzi."

Xue Qing raised his hand to him and returned the favor: "Young Master Suo."

Look, how understanding he is. Only when he believes that he really does not refer to him as a prince will he be so sincere and casually called him...

"Pooh."

As soon as the thought arose, Qi Niang's voice seemed to sound in Suo Shengxuan's ears again.

"He understands your nonsense. He has to slap you in the face before he can understand your intentions. Otherwise, he will pay attention to you... There is no such thing as no reason in this world, and such a villain is in a dark mind."

Is your heart dark? Suo Shengxuan looked at the boy. Although his facial features looked plain, his eyes were flowing, like the cold stars and autumn water... He really looked beautiful... He sighed and said, "Young Master Qingzi, I sincerely ask for advice."

Xue Qing nodded and said, "I know." He smiled again, "Zhen Xin to Zhen Xin, today I will try again with Young Master Suo."

I know this sentence is really sincere and soothing. The depressed soldiers in the chess game that day were instantly smoothed out... Why is this young man so popular? Unconsciously...

"You listen to him and say something here and there. He is talking nonsense, don't take it seriously."

Qi Niang's voice sounded in her ears again, and Suo Shengxuan calmed down and said in a calm mind: "I believe that Young Master Qingzi is righteous."

Xue Qing smiled and said, "Yes, gentlemen take it well." While reaching out to ask, "Young Master Suo."

Suo Shengxuan returned the liquor and strode forward without saying anything. The candidates from Xiliang were crowded with them, while the candidates from Chang'an Prefecture were still standing there.

Zhang Shuangtong hugged her arms and twitched her twitch: "Looking at these people, they are not as stern as I am."

Pang Andao: "Young Master Shuangtong, are you attending today?"

Zhang Shuangtong said: "Of course I will participate."

Pang An was surprised and admired: "Young Master Shuangtong used to be able to do mathematics, but I don't know anything at all."

Zhang Shuangtong said, "I can't do it either... Isn't it just one, two, three, four, six, seven, eight, ninety, and nonsense writing can always be correct."

What, Pang An laughed and shook his head: "No wonder you are so scrupulous. It turns out that you are not as proud as you are not as good as you." Looking at the companions around him, only eight of the twenty candidates in Chang'an Prefecture came this time... "It's still Yan Zi and Young Master Qingzi are confident and truly scrupulous."

Pei Yanzi was looking at Xue Qing and said, "What did you say just now?"

The conversation between Suo Shengxuan and Xue Qing sounds very common, but in fact it has meanings they know. People with ulterior motives can detect the weirdness of the conversation.

Xue Qing approached him, and Pei Yanzi looked at him.

Xue Qing whispered: "This is, the secret."

Pei Yanzi looked calm and raised his foot and stepped forward. Xue Qing smiled himself, and the bamboo stick was about to follow him. Suddenly, a shout came from beside him.

"Xue Qing."

The voice was low but clearly reached everyone's ears. The candidates subconsciously looked at it and saw a team of black armored guards coming from the street at some point. There were not many people, but the black armored black face approached like a dark cloud, and the breath was suppressed and stagnant.

Xue Qing's eyes fell on Duan Shan, and he stepped forward with a cane, raised his hand and said, "Mr. Duan."

Duan Shan looked at him immediately and said, "What a coincidence."

Xue Qing responded and said, "Good to meet." He took his leave again, and he was simply and without restraint or intention of talking.

Duan Shan didn't say anything anymore. He watched the young man walk forward. The young man was as thin as before, but as he walked, the candidates who had stopped around him also moved again, just like a fish swinging their tails into the water, and the stagnant water was alive. This inconspicuous sick boy was like this in Chang'an Mansion, and it was like this when he got here... Duan Shan's eyes fell on the bamboo stick in the hands of the young man...

The bamboo stick was lit on the ground, and the green robe danced.

At that time, he also held a bamboo stick...

Duan Shandao: "Xue Qing."

Xue Qing, who was walking out, stopped and turned around again, and the candidates around him turned their heads. Duan Shan got off the horse and walked forward with his sword in a big way, step by step, two steps, three steps, bent down and drew his sword, and waved towards Xue Qing.

Everything was so fast that no one could react. When the screams started, the crackling sounded also... No one left or there was no flesh and blood flying. Xue Qing looked at Duan Shan in surprise, as if he had not come back to his senses. His hands were still holding the bamboo stick, but it was empty, and the green bamboo stick broke and scattered on the ground.
