Zhendongcheng!
The imperial examinations were held in the Eastern Fiefdom, and all the candidates from the thirty-six cities took part one after another. A large number of talents participated in the literary and martial arts examinations.
The martial arts test is simple. Practitioners of different age groups compete to select those with strong strength and those with outstanding talents.
The literary test is a little complicated, but strangely fair. It is divided into four stages, town examination, city examination, general examination and palace examination. The first two stages have ended in major cities. Those who passed the city examination are all Juren. Juren rushed to Zhendong City one after another to prepare to participate in the General Examination and the Palace Examination.
Before the examination was held, the candidates from the Thirty-six Cities were constantly moving around and communicating with each other, because all the candidates knew that by participating in the examination, they basically entered the official circles of the Eastern fiefdom. If you are elected in the same year, you may be your superior or subordinate in the future, so naturally you need to establish a good relationship early.
For a time, the literary spirit of Zhendong City was at its peak, and people reciting poems and writing poems could be seen everywhere.
And in Zhendong City, in a small courtyard. An elegant man in black clothes played a guqin. The sound of the piano sounded, and all the five scribes in front of them were intoxicated. After the music played, the five scribes could not get out of the music for a long time.
The elegant man in black smiled slightly, and an attendant next to him handed a hot towel to the man in black to wipe his hands. After sitting down and taking a sip of tea, he leisurely took out a feather fan and fanned himself slightly.
At this moment, the five scribes suddenly woke up.
"Mr. Zhang! The sound of your piano music has been lingering in my ears for three days. We are all fascinated!" A scribe suddenly laughed.
"I am so lucky to be able to hear the music of Mr. Zhang's piano!" Another scribe sighed.
"Thank you, Mr. Zhang, for playing this song for us. I feel like my imprisoned cultivation level is about to be mastered!"
… … … …
… … …
…
The five scribes looked at Mr. Zhang with reverence.
Mr. Zhang smiled slightly: "The five of you are the same as me, you can solve the problem of one city, so there is no need to be so polite!"
"No politeness. Mr. Zhang is knowledgeable. We all know that Mr. Zhang used to travel to the Eastern Fiefdom. I remember the old Dongfang King. Wang Hong went to Mr. Zhang's courtyard three times. Corporal Li Xian asked Mr. Zhang to serve in the Eastern Fiefdom. Mr. Zhang declined. Yes!" A scribe laughed.
"Old Dongfang King? Hehe, there were so many talented people under Old Dongfang King back then. There was only one person more than me, and no one less than me. So I won't join in the fun!" Mr. Zhang said with a smile.
"The five of us also heard that Mr. Zhang was going to take part in the imperial examination, so we came with him to participate. However, the five of us knew our abilities and were like fireflies compared to the bright moon in front of Mr. Zhang, so we did not dare to compete with him. The gentleman competed in the same city and then went to five other cities. Unexpectedly, he could also come first in the competition and become Jieyuan!" A scribe said with a smile.
"When the old Dongfang King died, some of the talents in the Eastern Fiefdom left on their own, some were forced to leave, some were robbed, and some couldn't stand the temptation and left. A piece of fertile land turned into ruins in the blink of an eye." Mr. Zhang shook his head and sighed.
"Then why did the gentleman come back?" A scribe asked puzzledly.
"I see vitality, a burst of vitality. The new King of Dongfang is not simple. No matter what the reason is for this imperial examination, it is not simple that he can be so fair and just and let his officials obey voluntarily! Even if there are monsters and demons surrounding him, it is not easy. , can also rectify the world, this is the image of a wise king!" Mr. Zhang said solemnly, shaking his feather fan.
"Mr. Zhang, have you ever been in contact with Wang Xiong?" a scribe asked curiously.
"No! I also heard about his deeds, so I came to the Eastern Fiefdom to see him. I didn't want to happen to meet him in the imperial examination! Not bad!" Mr. Zhang exclaimed.
"Wang Xiong's deeds? Although Wang Xiong's deeds are fantastic, they don't make Mr. Zhang travel thousands of miles to come, right?" A scribe asked in surprise.
"If you can make my brother a big mess, isn't it worth coming here?" Mr. Zhang said with a smile.
"Brother?" Another scribe asked curiously.
"Brother, Zhang Zhengdao!" Mr. Zhang smiled.
"Zhang Zhengdao? Great Qin Renguo, Censor?" The man said in surprise.
"A good bird chooses a tree to roost in, and a good minister chooses a king to help him! If Wang Xiong really has the spirit of a king, I will leave the cabinet. If there is nothing I want, I will come here to study this time!" Mr. Zhang said with a smile.
"Sir, has he left the cabinet?" The eyes of all the scribes lit up.
Mr. Zhang smiled slightly.
"Mr. Zhang Jiafang's leaving the cabinet means that he has learned everything. Sir, if all the major forces in the world knew that he was leaving the cabinet, they would definitely flock to ask him to come out!" A scribe said enviously.
"It's just a false reputation!" Mr. Zhang shook his head.
"It is rumored that we will fill the position of an official of Taiwei Pang's faction. Will Taiwei Pang let him go then?" Another scribe asked curiously.
"Take the exam well. When the time comes, you may get more than you think! As for Taiwei Pang, hey, as soon as King Dongfang's three decrees came out, Taiwei Pang was already suffering from scabies. It's nothing to worry about!" Zhang The gentleman shook his feather fan and said calmly.
"Scabies disease? No way! Taiwei Pang has been operating in the Eastern Fiefdom for many years!"
"There are five things in military affairs. Dao is the first. King Dongfang will be invincible if he occupies morality. No matter how long Taiwei Pang manages, it will be useless. The more fierce Taiwei Pang fights back, the more he will lose! King Dongfang leaves the town. Before going to Dongcheng, there was still a piece of fat left, waiting for Captain Pang to take the bait. Maybe...!" Mr. Zhang narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Leave a piece of fat?"
"It's General Ember's Tianlang Camp. Waiting for Captain Pang to take action!"
"Isn't the Wolf Camp going to be in danger?"
"No, on the contrary, I think that Captain Pang was fooled again. King Dongfang deliberately left a loophole. How could he not be prepared? Just wait, the good news should come soon!" Mr. Zhang said confidently, shaking his feather fan.
"Really?" The five scribes were surprised.
"Sir, I noticed that the people who came here to take the exam this time have been visiting the Wang family's children. I have also received several invitations. Do you want to...!" A scribe asked curiously.
"Don't go! The Eastern Fiefdom is undergoing a revolution. If you want to go high in the future, don't go if invited by anyone! Only the King of Dongfang will reuse you if you are clean!" Mr. Zhang said calmly.
"Oh?" The five people nodded with concentrated expressions.
Although the five of them had received the invitation, they instantly lost their interest in getting to know the children of the Wang family. After all, the five of them believed in the knowledge of Mr. Zhang in front of them.
"Furthermore, if I predict correctly, there will be a big change in the Dongfang Palace in the next few days. How far away are you?" Mr. Zhang said solemnly.
"An accident?" Everyone was doubtful.
--------
At night, in Wang Zhongquan's room in Dongfang Prince's Mansion. The candlelight flickered and the room was dark!
Wang Zhongquan was neatly dressed and sitting on a grand master's chair, his eyes gloomy, as if he was waiting for something.
The three men dressed as domestic servants in front of him were extremely respectful.
"General Manager, I've found out clearly. They should take action tonight!" A servant said respectfully.
Wang Zhongquan narrowed his eyes slightly and said with a hint of femininity in his voice: "They are really a bunch of wolf-hearted people. Without the prince, how could they be where they are today? They have received great benefits and are still not satisfied? Hey!"
"They heard that the general manager had transferred all the zombies out, so they dared to act unscrupulously!"
"It doesn't matter, just come! The old prince is soft-hearted, so let them go. I won't let them. When the prince goes out, I have to fulfill my duty as a loyal slave. This time, I deliberately sent the zombies out. , I’m just afraid they won’t come!” Wang Zhong said with a hint of coldness on his face.
The three subordinates nodded respectfully, but there was still worry in their eyes.
Just as the four of them were talking.
"Bang!"
Not far away, four windows instantly broke open, and four figures rushed towards Wang Zhongquan like sharp arrows.
"Seeking death!" The three servants glared and faced him.
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"
Suddenly, three servants stopped three black figures.
"Wuzong realm?" The expressions of the three servants changed.
"Be careful, Chief Manager. The one who is rushing towards you is a high-ranking member of the Wuzong. Be careful!" A servant shouted in horror.
Three servants stopped three Wuzong realms. But there is another black shadow, which is faster and more powerful than the previous three black shadows. It is at least the seventh level of Wuzong Realm and above. Wang Zhongquan seems to have stopped practicing after entering Wuzong Realm for the first time. This, what should I do
The high-level Wuzong stabbed Wang Zhongquan in the throat with a sword. The sword was as fast as light, as if Wang Zhongquan would be killed immediately.
Wang Zhongquan had a cold light in his eyes.
"Ding!"
There was only a sound of metal and stone hitting each other. The next moment, the senior martial artist's eyes widened and he could not even speak.
Because, Wang Zhongquan blocked the sword with one hand, and with the other hand, he actually pinched the neck of the high-ranking martial artist.
How can this be
"Crack!"
Wang Zhongquan broke the man's neck.
Wang Zhongquan's strength instantly stunned the remaining three people.
"No, it's impossible!" A black figure exclaimed.
"call!"
Wang Zhongquan was left in a flash, bringing out a breeze, and all the candles on the table were extinguished in an instant, and Wang Zhongquan quickly arrived in front of the three black figures, between the cold eyes of the three servants. At a speed that is difficult for ordinary people to catch, three bloody holes were instantly opened between the eyebrows of the three shadows.
The three black figures fell straight to the ground in an instant.
"General Manager, you...!" the three servants said in shock.
Wang Zhongquan took a deep breath, and a sigh flashed in his eyes: "Sunflower Taiyin Kung Fu? This technique given by the prince is indeed overbearing!"
"General Manager, are you already a Martial Saint?" a servant asked in surprise.
Wang Zhongquan ignored it and looked outside under the moonlight.
Outside, a large number of Wang family disciples were already surrounding them.
Four pioneers broke in, and the candlelight inside was instantly extinguished. Then there was a burst of noise and then there was no sound
"Elder Zong, something is wrong!"
"Mr. Zong, when the four of them went in, why was there no sound?"
… … … …
… … …
…
All the Wang family disciples looked confused.
"The arrow is on the string and must be fired. Don't worry so much. Let's go together. Today, we must kill Wang Zhongquan, get the Dongfang King's Seal, and wait for Wang Tiance to come back and inherit the throne!" A clan elder said solemnly.
"yes!"
Suddenly, a large number of strong men broke into the hut.
"Boom!"
With a series of loud noises, more than ten people who broke into the hut were beaten out in an instant. The moment they were beaten out, all of them had broken bones and were in great pain.
"What?" The people outside asked in surprise.
At this moment, Wang Zhongquan stepped out of the hut and looked coldly at the hundreds of people outside.
"Oh, are you all here?" Wang Zhongquan showed a sneer.
"Did you know we were coming?" A sect elder asked in surprise.
"You, the children of the Liumai Wang family, want to support Wang Tiance as the king? This is deceiving the king and ignoring the emperor. The prince said before leaving home that among the old slave masters, for those who deceive the king and ignore the emperor, the old slave has to kill first and then report them. Quan!" Wang Zhongquan's eyes turned cold.
"Hahaha, by you? Wang Zhongquan!" Another sect elder said disdainfully.
"Pah!" Wang Zhongquan clapped his hands gently.
"Kakakaka!"
However, they saw that the sound of arrows being strung on the bowstrings suddenly came from the surrounding mountains and attics. Everyone turned around and saw that there were a large number of soldiers, holding crossbows and shooting at the group of intruders Wang Zhongquan. Hundreds of people in the small courtyard.
"What? Eight Oxen Crossbow!? Why did you appear in the palace?"
"Wang Zhongquan, what do you want to do?"
"There is an ambush, why is there an ambush?"
… … … … …
… … …
… …
A group of Wang family disciples screamed.
"Children of the Six-line Royal Family? Are you trying to assassinate me today to seize the Eastern King's Seal? The elders of the Three-line Sect are actually here. Haha, don't you know that you are leading your descendants to destruction?" Wang Zhong said coldly, revealing his face.
"Wang Zhongquan, don't mess around. We are descendants of the Wang family! You can't mess around!" A clan elder was suddenly startled and sweating profusely.
"Trouble? Ha, committing treason is a capital crime! Fire arrows!" Wang Zhongquan gave the order.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, a large number of arrows rained down, and at the same time, there was a scream.
"Wang Zhongquan, you must die a happy death!" a clan elder shouted in shock.
Five Wuzong-level warriors rushed towards Wang Zhongquan instantly, hoping to capture the thief first and capture the king first.
"Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom!"
Wang Zhongquan slapped him five times, and the five people flew out instantly, and then were shot into hedgehogs by random arrows in mid-air.
"Don't you want to die well? You don't want to die well! If you want to rebel, you have to pay the price. Don't worry, the other three lineage elders are not here, but if they participate in the rebellion, they will die. I will send them to see you soon. Yes!" Wang Zhongquan said coldly.
Several people fled towards the outside world.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
In the blink of an eye, he was beaten back by the powerful servant outside the small courtyard. Not one of the more than a hundred people escaped, and they were set as targets for random arrows.
A sect elder showed a look of reluctance and hatred.
"Wang Zhongquan, how cruel! Haha, I died today, but my children and grandchildren will avenge me! They are all the Wang family! They will not let you go!" said a clan elder with a ferocious face.
Wang Zhongquan smiled coldly: "The old prince tolerates you again and again because he cares about the Wang family's bloodline, but I won't, I won't care about your bloodline. Since you are plotting rebellion, you will kill the clan. Your family, Don’t worry, I won’t stay regardless of whether you’re a man or a woman. I’ll root out the roots! I still understand!”
"What? You, you dare! There is no way the prince will allow you to do this!" That old man showed panic before he died.
"So, I will kill everyone in your lineage before the prince comes back! I will not embarrass the prince! You can go with peace of mind. I will reunite your family on the road to hell!" Wang Zhongquan said Lu Hanguang said.
"You, you, you...!" The old man said with a horrified expression.
In the blink of an eye, everyone in the small courtyard was killed.
"As the notice goes on, everyone is starting to take action! Remember, all the people on the list do not need to be kept alive. Anyone who wants to protect them will have to sacrifice his own life and that of the whole family!" Wang Zhongquan said to a servant with a cold look in his eyes. ordered.
"Yes!" The servant suddenly burst into flames. Notify all the prepared killers in the city to take action.
Such a big commotion in Wang Zhongquan's courtyard soon attracted other members of the Wang family. They looked shocked when they saw the corpses all over the courtyard.
"Wang Zhongquan, you, you killed the third uncle? Oh, and the sixth uncle?" A member of the Wang family exclaimed.
"They don't care about the king's kindness. They want to seize the king's seal and establish themselves as kings. They are treasonous and should be killed! All the adults who were not involved, please leave it alone!" Wang Zhongquan said coldly.
"You, you, you should arrest them and hand them over to the prince. After all, they are also children of my Wang family. How dare you!" The Wang family member glared.
"Not only them, but all six of their lineages, the old slave will kill them all. As for the consequences, the old slave will ask the prince for forgiveness. As for you? Your lineage did not participate in the rebellion, but if you want to drag your lineage into the rebellion, Come to the faction, and I can help you!" Wang Zhongquan's eyes turned cold.
"How dare you!" The Wang family member trembled and exclaimed.
Wang Zhong's face turned cold: "Go back and bring a message to your clan elders, so that they can remember clearly that the Eastern fiefdom belongs to the prince, and whoever dares to think wrong will be the fate of these people, hum!"
With a flick of his sleeve, Wang Zhongquan ignored the other Wang family disciples who came over and turned away.
At this moment, all the disciples of the Wang family were horrified to discover that the chief manager, who was originally harmless to humans and animals, turned out to be a murderous demon
