February 25th, Zhendongcheng! Today's imperial examination!
Early on, 3,000 candidates showed off to the first 300 candidates.
The first 300 people in the examination, headed by Zhang Ru, tidied up their clothes and walked neatly towards the Palace of the Eastern Prince!
The palace examination was held at the Dongfang Palace.
Because Dongfang Palace is still an early construction, some specifications have not yet been finalized, and it has not yet reached the level of Dongfang Palace. However, everyone has regarded it as a prototype of the royal palace.
Under the guidance of the attendants, the three hundred people quickly arrived at the largest palace in the Dongfang Palace and were waiting.
The name of the palace is Evergreen Palace! The Oriental Palace Chao Hui Hall!
In the Evergreen Hall, there are three hundred desks placed. On the desks are the Four Treasures of the Study, dozens of pieces of rice paper, and everyone's name tags.
Under the guidance of the attendants, all three hundred candidates found their seats. Officials on both sides were already in position. Si Xin, Wang Zhongquan, and even Yan Yan were also standing in the court hall at this moment. Waiting quietly.
"The king has arrived!" a loud shout came.
Wang Xiong slowly stepped into the hall from the side and stepped onto the golden dragon chair.
"Greetings to your Majesty! Your Majesty is a thousand years old!" A group of officials bowed respectfully.
A group of candidates followed closely behind and bowed down.
Wang Xiong was wearing a red dragon robe with a white background and a green flat crown on his head today, and he slowly sat on the dragon chair.
"Get back on your feet!" Wang Xiong said in a deep voice.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Everyone responded and stood upright.
"Your Majesty, the palace examination has begun. Please come up with the questions!" an official said.
Wang Xiong looked at the three hundred candidates, especially Zhang Ru at the front. A trace of satisfaction flashed in Wang Xiong's eyes.
"Today the martial arts test and the literary test are gathered in the same hall, and the question is 'The East is prosperous!'. The writer writes down the strategy of governing the East, and the warrior writes down the strategy of governing the army in the East! Let's start!" Wang Xiong said, looking at the three hundred candidates.
"Yes!" Three hundred candidates responded.
Suddenly, the three hundred candidates began to think. After thinking for a while, they began to write.
Eastern prosperity! The Eastern Fiefdom is about to be highly unified. What Wang Xiong has to do is how to consolidate and strengthen the Eastern Fiefdom. Today's mention comes from the heart and is used immediately. And all the candidates can also feel the king's eagerness, and they can't wait to write down their own governance strategies for the eastern fiefdom.
The palace examination begins!
-------------
Over Zhendong City, between the clouds, a figure was standing quietly at this moment.
The figure is none other than the immortal Li Shenxian released by Wang Xiong from the Tomb Mountain!
Li Shenxian has been following Wang Xiong for some time and has witnessed Wang Xiong's behavior during this period. At this moment, he was standing in the clouds, staring at the Evergreen Palace below.
"I left with weak energy in the past, but today I have recovered my cultivation. Wang Xiong, I have been with you for a few days, but I have the same imperial aura as your father! Your father was arrogant and ignorant back then, and eventually died of hatred. However, this time, there is The same goes for you. I said I would accept you as my disciple! I will definitely honor it!" A glint flashed in Li Shenxian's eyes.
In the past, at the Tomb of the Gods, Li Shenxian was planning to accept Wang Xiong as his disciple, but Wang Xiong refused and used the help of the Tiger Clan Immortal to force him away. However, Li Shenxian himself was extremely stubborn, and he would naturally do what he said. After recovering his cultivation, the first thing he did was to find Wang Xiong and follow him for a few days. Wang Xiong's performance made Li Shenxian more and more satisfied.
At this moment, Li Shenxian stood in the air, determined to accept Wang Xiong as his disciple again.
Just when Li Shenxian was about to step off the clouds, Li Shenxian suddenly narrowed his eyes and looked towards the direction of the Dongfang Palace, a place shrouded in fog.
"Oh? A group of rats came in?" Li Shenxian narrowed his eyes.
But it was the Second Prince Mang of the Great Mang Kingdom, who, with a group of subordinates, somehow managed to sneak into the Dongfang Palace. At this moment, he used a burst of poisonous mist to make a group of Heavenly Prison guards in the palace pass out, and the Second Prince Mang swaggered. He stepped into the prison.
------
In East Heart City, Captain Pang was sitting in his room, drinking tea, seemingly preoccupied and waiting.
"Captain, can Second Prince Mang and his entourage enter the Dongfang Palace?" a staff member frowned and asked worriedly.
"Besides Wang Tiance, there are several other members of the Wang family who have been bribed by us early on. They have been hiding deep. Seeing Wang Xiong's rise, they want to leave us alone? How can it be so easy! One day they will become my masterpiece. , all their lives! They are worried that I will expose them! It’s good to hide it all the time! Let them keep it until now!" Pang Taiwei took a sip of tea.
"Is this the last detail of Dongfang Palace? If they are exposed this time, we will never know the news in Dongfang Palace again." The staff frowned.
"As long as things are done, the exposure will be exposed! Second Prince Mang? Don't let me down!" A look of expectation flashed in Taiwei Pang's eyes.
--------
Dongfang Wangfu, in the heavenly prison.
With the internal and external coordination, in a blink of an eye, the Tianlao was controlled by the second prince Mang, and all six martial saints and one hundred martial sects were rescued.
"You are!" the six great martial saints said after taking the elixir and recovering some of their injuries.
"This is Captain Pang's token. You should also recognize it. From now on, you will obey my order and kill Wang Xiong later!" Prince Mang said with cold eyes.
The six great martial saints were silent for a moment. They were still a little moved by the ember to surrender in the past few days, but now that they were suddenly rescued, the six great martial saints instantly gave up that ray of excitement and nodded one after another.
"Huo Qilin, Zuo Baifeng?" Second Prince Mang looked at the two of them.
The two stared at Prince Mang.
"Do you two know that because of you, Holy Lord Chilian has suffered huge losses this time? Wuji has issued an order to take Wang Xiong's head! You two, how about you come with me to kill Wang Xiong? Then, Wang Xiong's head will be killed. I'll bring the head back to you. Not only will you have no fault, but you will have merit, how about it?" Prince Mang advised.
Zuo Baifeng and Huo Qilin narrowed their eyes.
The two of them have never been successfully persuaded to surrender by Si Xin. The biggest reason is that their own life and death are actually in Si Wuji's hands. He was possessed by Si Wuji, and as long as Si Wuji activated it, the two of them would be killed immediately.
At this moment, Prince Mang's persuasion, the two looked at each other and agreed.
"Hahaha, okay, with the help of two of you, we will be able to make it happen today!" Prince Mang laughed.
Everyone very carefully pulled out the golden needles from Zuo Baifeng and Huo Qilin's bodies. As soon as their true energy stirred up, a powerful air flow emitted from the prison.
"Phew, good! So comfortable!" Huo Qilin laughed.
"Second Prince Mang, it's not easy for you to deal with Wang Xiong. Wang Xiong's vines are extremely ferocious! Even Huo Qilin and I were killed. Now in Zhendong City, his home court, the vines will only get stronger! Zuo Baifeng said solemnly.
"It doesn't matter, the holy weapon barrier I brought! It can restrain his vines!" Prince Mang said with a hint of ferocity on his face.
"oh?"
"Everyone, I saved you, and the Eye of Heaven will be mine!" Prince Mang said solemnly while looking at everyone.
"Don't worry! As long as I can let go of this bad breath, I can go back and explain to the Holy Lord! It's useless for me to ask for the Sky Eye!" Zuo Baifeng said with a smile.
"That's good! Today, Wang Xiong is conducting the palace examination in the Evergreen Palace. Let's go now and get what we need!" Prince Mang laughed.
"Let's go!" Everyone shouted excitedly.
----------
Outside Zhendong City, on the Baizi Desert, a crane carried Immortal Chiyunzi, descended from the clouds, and arrived at the Old Dongfang Prince's Mansion.
Chi Yunzi landed in the palace and shouted: "Wang Xiong, come out!"
With a loud shout, the buildings around the old Dongfang Prince's Mansion shook violently, and the servants guarding the house suddenly trembled in their hearts. Because, everyone felt a huge pressure coming, which was so overwhelming that no one could breathe.
"Where is Wang Xiong?" Chi Yunzi grabbed a servant and said coldly.
"King, your Majesty is not here!" The servant was horrified.
"Where?" Chi Yunzi stared.
"In Zhendong City, the new Dongfang Prince's Palace is not here. We are the only ones here!" The servant said in horror.
"In Zhendong City?" Chi Yunzi stared at the man.
"Yes, yes, today's palace examination, the king is in the palace examination!" The servant did not dare to refute under Chi Yunzi's aura.
"Bang!" Chi Yunzi threw the servant away.
"It's fine in Zhendong City, hum!" Chi Yunzi snorted coldly.
Stepping forward, Chi Yunzi mounted the crane and rushed towards Zhendong City again.
----------
Zhendong City, in the Changqing Palace.
Wang Xiong sat on the dragon chair and waited quietly for the end of the palace examination. At this moment, everyone started writing, one by one, writing today's paper quickly, because everyone knew the importance of today. In today's palace examination, the top three scholars will be selected, as well as the number one scholar! Second place! Exploring flowers!
Everyone was writing carefully, but all the courtiers were waiting quietly. Yu Yan and Si Xin looked at the candidates' answer sheets curiously. They did not expect Wang Xiong to attach so much importance to this palace examination. Only Wang Zhongquan understands. This attention is also for the whole world to see. If the king pays attention to it, the literary style of the Eastern Fiefdom will become more prosperous and attract more and more foreign talents.
So what if Wang Xiong sits on the dragon chair for a day if he spends thousands of gold to buy horse bones
Wang Xiong sat on the dragon chair, tapping the armrest of the dragon chair with his fingers, and was waiting patiently. Suddenly, Wang Xiong paused with his fingers and his pupils shrank.
"There are actually rats in the palace? Humph!" Wang Xiong snorted coldly.
At this moment, a loud shout was heard outside the hall.
"The energy of Geng metal solidifies the earth and opens!"
"boom!"
I saw that the Evergreen Hall was instantly enveloped by a golden barrier. Within the golden barrier, a surge of golden aura rushed straight down to the earth. Within the barrier, the earth instantly turned golden, and the long The ground of Qingdian also turned golden visibly to the naked eye.
The entire earth turned into metal in an instant.
"This is...!" Wang Zhongquan's expression changed.
"Presumptuous, who are you!"
"Bold enough to break into Evergreen Palace!"
… … … …
… … …
… …
There was a commotion outside the hall, and a series of loud noises, as if a group of guards had been blown away.
"Who is it!" Yi Yan shouted and jumped out.
"Hahahaha, Dongfang Prince's Palace is not that good either!" came a loud laugh.
"Second Prince Mang, is this the Geng Gold Barrier? When the barrier comes out, the earth solidifies into metal?" Zuo Baifeng's surprise came.
"The earth has solidified into metal, so Wang Xiong's vines are useless. How can vines grow on metal? The vines can't break through the ground. His vines are useless, hahahaha!" Another loud laugh spread. Come.
While they were laughing, a group of people stepped into the Evergreen Hall!
The faces of all the civil and military officials in the court suddenly changed. Yu Yan, Si Xin, and Wang Zhong all rushed to the front. Even the three hundred candidates were instantly panicked.
Only Wang Xiong was sitting on the dragon chair with a cold expression. He did not get up. Even the bead curtain of Pingtian Crown did not move at all. He looked coldly at the group of people who broke in at the entrance of the hall!
