Su Mingyu smiled lightly and looked at Zhao Nantang.

Zhao Nantang slowly put down the letter, his eyes were gloomy, as if he was trying his best to suppress his anger and murderous intent.

"Zhao got it."

"see a visitor out."

Send the guests directly! Su Mingyu's face changed slightly. What does Zhao Nantang mean?

"General Zhao, my young master said that this is the best choice for you, the Zhao family, and Miss Xuening. Although Miss Xuening can only be the thirteenth talented person when she arrives in Chunming Palace, it is also infinite wealth and honor..." Su Mingyu spoke, but before he finished speaking, Zhao Nantang interrupted him with anger: "Send him away!"

Lao Qi looked cold and stepped forward and said, "Prince Su, please!"

"Zhao Nantang...you!"

Su Mingyu's face changed drastically, but she had no choice but to shake her sleeves and turn around and leave indignantly.

Zhao Nantang grabbed the letter in his hand and with force, he almost crushed the letter paper into powder! "General..." Lao Qi also gritted his teeth and said, "Big Prince, insult us too much!"

"The lady is a daughter, and he actually wants to take her as a concubine..." If the eldest prince wanted to marry Zhao Xuening as his princess, it would be fine, maybe Zhao Nantang really has a trade-off.

But... the eldest prince now has a princess, and there are ten talented people in Chunming Palace.

What is talent?

To put it bluntly, he is his eldest prince’s concubine! How could Zhao Nantang not be angry?

He was a decent iron-blooded general who fought out of the sea of ​​blood, the backbone of the imperial ranks, the general of the country protection, and his only daughter, who was going to be taken into a concubine by someone else?

And...is the twelfth?

If Su Mingyu had taken a step later, perhaps the one who had been carried out from Zhao's mansion would be a corpse! "Insult?

In his opinion, this may even be his alms to me!"

Zhao Nantang spoke coldly and said, "It is normal for him to become more prosperous and domineering in the court."

"But unfortunately, he forgot that not everyone in this empire is a corrupt scholar, not everyone. As long as he throws out a little olive branch at will, he will be grateful and kneel down to accept it!"

Lao Qi also had anger on his face, and he also understood that the eldest prince's actions would be counterproductive. Not only would he not ease the relationship between him and the Zhao family, but he would only push Zhao Nantang to the opposite side! When he chose to treat an imperial general with such a arrogant attitude, the ending was already destined.

"Tell Li Fan that I want him to grow up as quickly as possible. He can mobilize all resources of the Zhao Mansion, except for borders, from today onwards!"

He slapped the table hard! Hearing this, Lao Qi's face changed instantly.

This means that his general... put all his bets on Li Fan?

But... According to Gao Wensong's secret letter, Li Fan this time, let alone Jie Yuan, is very likely not even a Juren! However, he could only bow his head, bow and said, "Yes!"

Lao Qi retreated! Zhao Nantang grabbed the letter in his hand tightly, and his joints were already a little white.

...Yangzhou.

After finishing the exam, Li Fan felt relieved.

This imperial examination is really similar to the college entrance examination in his previous life... Li Fan didn't care at all, and the world's views on himself.

After he returned to Lingyu Inn, he began to write books! Before the provincial examination list was released, he was preparing to finish all "Dream of Red Mansions".

After writing Dream of the Red Chamber, he continued to write "Water Margin" and "Journey to the West"... Li Fan seemed to see countless royalties waving to him.

And countless people in Yangzhou City were discussing it hotly.

It is hotly discussed who will be the first place this time! "I said, I think our Yangzhou City has fallen this time, and Jie Yuan must be among the top ten talents in Xijing!"

"It's almost the same, only Wang Tianteng can compete for the top three."

"Hehe, Brother Zhang, what did you say before?

So is Li Fan likely to win Jie Yuan?

Now, do you know that you are far from it!"

In a restaurant, a group of young people were discussing it. It was obvious that they all thought that Li Fan was abolished.

This is almost the same consensus in Yangzhou City.

Li Fan rose too fast, and he kept flashing like a comet, forcing people all over the world to look at each other.

This time, the failure was like a dark cloud, finally blocking his light and making the sky dark.

Can he still have a chance to reappear as a comet?

In most people's hearts, the answer is probably no.

...The Qin family.

At supper.

"Cousin, do you know that now the whole of Yangzhou is hoping that Brother Tianteng can fight for a breath, and he is already what everyone wants!"

While eating, Qin Congyun kept speaking to Zhao Xuening.

"Haha, Xue Ning, then Li Fan's true form has been revealed this time. You can see clearly, right?

The last one handed in the paper, he was useless.”

Qin Shangran also spoke leisurely. In his opinion, Zhao Xuening had no reason to refuse again this time.

Zhao Xuening was just silent. After only a little bit of it, she got up and returned to her room.

"Miss, it's spread throughout the city, which is very unfavorable to him."

Bai Qingwan also spoke and sighed.

Why, why did Li Fan insist on losing his links at this moment... You must know that this time, he was not only himself, but also carrying the fate of a lady... She was full of worries.

But Zhao Xuening said nothing. She just sat down and opened the "Stone Story" placed on the table.

She was very impressed, as if she had forgotten what Bai Qingwan said and forgot the sarcasm of the Qin elders to Li Fan at the dinner table.

"I don't know when he will finish writing this stone story."

She just murmured.

...and at this moment.

Under the starry night, the autumn mood remains unabated.

The moon is bright and the stars are sparse, and the magpies fly south.

A group of people ran from the darkness and headed towards Yangzhou City.

"Mr. Lin, we are already very close to Yangzhou, so we won't be able to catch up. Why are you so anxious?"

Next to the carriage, a general wearing yellow armor spoke. He was holding a spear in his hand and was majestic. Under the moonlit night, the yellow armor seemed even more dazzling.

"You can't do it without rushing. Yangzhou has become a place for competition among all parties, but the 'cabinet' is late, which is unreasonable... The emperor built a new cabinet, aiming to revolutionize the administration. This time, he ordered me to go out of Yangzhou to be the chief examiner, which is more meaningful. How dare I neglect it?"

An old voice came out of the carriage, looking energetic.

"However, I heard that this Southeast generation of martial arts world seems to be unstable recently. Even the guy Wen Baishan suffered a loss. I just hope that I am eager to go on a journey and not cause trouble to General Xie."

The sound in the carriage continued to sound, and when the old man mentioned "Wenbae Mountain", the words seemed to smile.

The general who was carrying a gun in Huangjia smiled and said, "Don't worry, Lord Lin, you will definitely be safe along the way!"

The convoy kept moving forward.

… “Mr. Zhou, during this provincial examination, I think the top ten talents will definitely rank in the top ten. Gao congratulates Mr. Zhou first.”

Gao Mansion, Gao Nanshi and Zhou Wenyuan were drinking tea, Gao Nanshi spoke with a smile.

Zhou Wenyuan smiled and said, "This is something that I think, it's not worth being happy. When Su Mingyu comes back, he brings good news from Donglin County, and it's not too late to be happy."

He was sure of it. I think Zhao Nantang would definitely agree, right?

After all, it is already considered a condescending reign for the eldest prince to propose marriage to a martial artist, Zhao Nantang! In the Great Xi Kingdom, except for the barbarians and Hu people at the bottom of the contempt chain, the status of the warrior may be just a little better than that of Hu Yi! - More than 20 years ago, when Wu Tiangu was in power, the military officers were powerful and the civil servants were weak. Wu Tiangu even spoke in the court, and the emperor was extremely favored.

That was a peak of military officers' power. Power was also based on Wu Tian's victory in succession, constantly regaining the mountains and people's hearts.

It was prosperous and declined. Since the battle twenty years ago, Wu Tian died alone and was defeated by countless generals in the army, the once prosperous military officer group has withered.

Only Zhao Nantang and other scattered generals who escaped from the sea of ​​corpses and blood were left to support the overall situation.

Daxi blamed Wu Tiangu for the mistakes in that battle. The military officer group he represented was naturally criticized.

At that time, the national strength was greatly damaged, and it was impossible to use force in a short period of time. He urgently needed rest and rest. Emperor Jianye could only take advantage of the situation and reuse the civil service group.

Although he gave Zhao Nantang and others status and glory, he moved them from the front line to a large rear like Yangzhou and became idle.

After twenty years, we have been deeply rooted in the bones of the people.

So, who would be willing to be a general who grew up in such an environment?

Who would respect a general who was invincible?

This is the deep reason why they are so arrogant towards Zhao Nantang.

"Young Master Zhou should have taken action with no choice.

However, Gao still has one question."

Gao Nanshi continued to speak and said, "I don't know what Mr. Zhou said about Li Fan's performance in the provincial examination?"
