His Majesty Ke Shengjuli's generous speech was a good show Fang Jie had missed, and His Majesty did not notice the young frontier soldier who was quickly sent back by Zhuo Buyi after he fell into a coma. Seeing His Majesty chatting happily with those frontier soldiers, it seemed that even Hou Wenji had temporarily forgotten the person who made his eyes shine. But no one knew, he overthrew the plan he had made in his heart while watching His Majesty drinking with those frontier soldiers.
had to be overturned.
Because His Majesty came to Ke Shengju suddenly, he knew there were some things that he couldn't hide.
The carriage moved slowly on the flat street paved with bluestone slabs, stable and comfortable.
The boy lying in the carriage seemed to be asleep, but his frowning brows announced how much pain he was enduring. Zhuo Buyi looked down at Fang Jie, as if he couldn't understand the weirdness of this boy's body. When I first met Fang Jie in that forest, only two of the 128 air points in Fang Jie's body were opened, but when he felt his pulse just now, he suddenly discovered that the boy's body had opened seven air points. place.
Although opening seven acupoints is nothing to an ordinary person, to Fang Jie, this is simply unbelievable.
Zhuo Buyi frowned in thought, but couldn't figure it out.
He originally thought that Fang Jie might belong to the same type of person as Luo Yao, the left avant-garde general, and he didn't rely on the sea of qi to cultivate. But now he realized that he was wrong. Luo Yao was crushed by someone in the accident that year, but he survived the catastrophe, and reached the extreme level of the ninth rank purely through cultivation of physique. This has gone beyond everyone's understanding, even Dean Zhou of the Academy of Martial Arts and Master Xiao of Qingle Mountain can't reasonably explain why Luo Yao survived and became one of the strongest in the world.
And Fang Jie's physique seemed even weirder than Luo Yao's.
Dean Zhou once speculated that Luo Yao didn't really just train his body. Before he was shattered by the sea of qi, his cultivation base had surpassed the eighth rank, and his inner strength was vigorous. After the sea of qi was shattered, the internal energy did not disappear but scattered into the limbs and bones. Luo Yao may not know how to obtain a very special way of cultivation, and can continue to use the internal energy scattered in the body.
According to the principle, people practice to store inner strength in the sea of qi, and when they use it, the inner strength in the sea of qi melts into the limbs and bones. According to modern people's understanding, Qihai can be understood as an engine, and a car without an engine will definitely not be able to run. And Luo Yao's later cultivation method is very likely to be a method that no one has ever seen before. Dean Zhou speculated that it was very likely that after the qi sea was broken, he turned his whole body into a bigger qi sea, rather than the dantian of ordinary practitioners.
After the qi sea in his dantian was shattered, he cast his own body into a bigger qi sea. In this way, the internal strength scattered into the limbs can continue to run.
And precisely because he regards his body as a sea of energy, he is stronger than ordinary people.
Of course, this is just dean Zhou's conjecture. Even he laughed and said that this is nonsense. If there is really someone in this world who can transform into a sea of energy, then he will be invincible in the world.
The fundamental difference between Fang Jie and Luo Yao is that Fang Jie doesn't have a sea of energy at all.
Although seven of the 128 air pockets in his body have been opened, what's the point of opening these air pockets without the sea of qi as the foundation for storing internal energy? To understand it simply, the sea of qi can be regarded as a sea, and the 128 air pockets are many rivers connected to the sea of qi. When it is necessary to use the inner strength, the inner strength flows out from the sea of qi and pours into each air pocket. If a person does not have air pockets, then no matter how huge his sea of qi is, he will not be able to exert his cultivation power. And if a person doesn't have Qihai... then he can't be powerful.
I don't even have the energy to eat or drink.
So Fang Jie and Luo Yao are not the same.
Opening the cavitation seems to have no practical significance, so the more Zhuo Buyi thinks about it, the more confused he becomes. There is a huge contradiction in Fang Jie's body. Without a sea of qi, how can there be an air pocket? What's the use of having a sea of air pockets? But his body is as strong as a cheetah, and it is obvious that his strength has quietly increased a lot since he left Fan Gu for more than half a year.
When he was in Fan Gu, Fang Jie laughed at himself and said that he couldn't even beat Li Gandang, the leader of the team. Li Gandang was just a warrior of the second rank, but Fang Xie slaughtered a fourth rank Qingya Feiyupao on the way to the imperial capital. Although that is a lot of luck, if you don't have a certain strength, even if luck comes, you may not be able to grasp it.
Looking at Fang Jie, Zhuo Buyi couldn't help but shook his head slightly and sighed: "Could it be that Luo Yao is really practicing inner strength instead of body as Dean Zhou speculated. And you... are the one who purely tempers the body? "
Zhuo Buyi was not sure, but he knew that Fang Xie must not be familiar with his own body, let alone use any cultivation methods, otherwise he would not be so uncontrollable that he fell into a coma. In Keshengjuli, this kid broke the prison by force beyond his capacity. If Zhuo Buyi hadn't felt his resistance at the last moment and loosened the prison, it would be impossible to say that this guy would have been oppressed by the backlash of the prison. His tendons were broken.
But even so, this guy is still impressive.
If Fang Jie knew that it was Zhuo Buyi who released the water when he forcibly broke through the painting when he was a little confused, he would be extremely surprised. It is already extremely difficult to control the entire people in Keshengjuli, but like Zhuo Buyi, he can manage to control everyone individually, how much spiritual power is required
It can be seen that the talent is terrible.
Sometimes no matter how hard a person works the day after tomorrow, he can't compare with the word talent.
Just when Zhuo Buyi was in a daze, the old cripple looked at the passing carriage at a snack stall by the side of the road, and the corners of his mouth could not help but twitch.
Zhuo Buyi, others say that you have already escaped from the mundane world. In my opinion... there is no one in this world who has entered the world more deeply than you. Leaving aside His Majesty the Emperor, but escorting an insignificant person home... You are the only official in the world who can do this.
He sighed with emotion in his heart, then picked up a piece of cooked meat and put it into his mouth, and poured another mouthful of Northwest Roast.
…
…
When Fang Jie woke up, it was already dark, he opened his eyes and looked around, his eyes were a little blurry, but he could recognize all the people gathered around him.
Shen Qingshan, Mu Xiaoyao, Dagou, Qilin.
All four are there.
Besides the four of them, there was another person looking at him with concern. Fang Jie identified it carefully for a while before realizing that it was Cui Lueshang who hadn't seen him for a while.
"Wake up, wake up!"
Da Quan couldn't help laughing when he saw Fang Jie opened his eyes. This smile involved the injury on his body, and he grinned involuntarily due to the pain. It's just that the smile in his eyes is still so strong.
Mu Xiaoyao sat beside Fang Jie, helped him sit up straight, and fed him a few sips of water.
"Why are you unconscious again?"
she asked.
Fang Jie shook his head and smiled and said, "something happened in Keshengju, maybe I went too far because I was unwilling to force my strength. You must know that none of the masters in the room can move, only me who is extremely powerful Up to the second floor."
The pain in the body has been relieved a lot, but when Fang Jie moved, a layer of sweat still appeared on his forehead. The feeling of being twisted by something in the lower abdomen disappeared, but there was no pain anywhere in the body. Not only the internal organs are stretched, but the muscles all over the body are aching.
This feeling is like a person who has never exercised before running ten kilometers in one breath and then gritted his teeth and did dozens of push-ups.
"Fang Jie, are you alright?"
Cui Lueshang came over and asked with concern, and then said apologetically: "After arriving in the imperial capital, I just went to visit one by one according to the list my father gave me. I went to this house today and went to that house tomorrow, and then I wanted to find you later, but I couldn't find you. Knowing where you have been, I went to Hongxiu Zhao to ask, and then I found out that you rented this place."
"fine."
Fang Jie smiled and said: "You should visit those family friends. You don't need to care about these things in our friendship."
"There's an exam the day after tomorrow, you..."
Cui Lueshang looked at Fang Jie worriedly and asked, "Can I go?"
"Naturally!"
Fang Jie said: "After working so hard to get to the imperial capital, if you give up the exam because of these small injuries, wouldn't it be a waste of all previous work? Don't say that it is already cured now, even if it is not good, you have to climb to the exam room."
Cui Lueshang hummed, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Actually, that's why I came here this time."
He took out a thin stack of papers from his pocket and handed them to Fang Jie, saying: "When I visited a family friend two days ago, I heard that this year's Yanwu Academy's exam questions for liberal arts, arithmetic, and music were leaked. It was revealed from the hands of a big man who participated in drafting the exam questions, and it is not easy to get it without some means, even if I rely on the relationship, I still spent a full thousand taels of silver!"
Cui Lue said: "I bought a copy, copied another copy overnight and brought it to you in a hurry."
Fang Jie's heart warmed, but he still couldn't help shaking his head and said, "Brother Cui, I'm afraid you've been deceived... a big shot who can participate in drafting the examination questions of the Academy of Martial Arts, will commit the crime of beheading for a mere two thousand one silver? And , let me say something disrespectful, even you can buy it, how many people in Chang'an city can buy it? If it is said that the big man is greedy for the large sum of money accumulated by many people, then is he Aren't you afraid that this matter will leak out? The more people who know about it... the greater the danger."
"ah?"
Cui Lueshang was startled, subconsciously looked at the test question in his hand and muttered, "Could it be fake?"
Fang Jie shook his head slightly and said, "I don't know if it's true or not, but I advise you, just throw away the thousand taels of silver. You must not tell others about it. You don't want to use this test question anymore. If It’s fake, it’s useless whether you look at it or not. If the real question is leaked out... I’m worried that the emperor will make a big fuss.”
Cui Lueshang was a little stupid, he didn't know whether to believe Fang Xie's words or not.
"But, it's not bad to have a look, what if it's a real question?"
"It's still the same sentence, even if it's a real question, it's a disaster rather than a blessing."
…
…
Changchun Garden.
dome.
Emperor Yang Yi glanced coldly over Hou Wenji's face, but did not speak. Holding the porridge bowl in his hand, he sipped the long-prepared golden jujube and lotus seed porridge while flipping through the memorials on the table. The look at Hou Wenji seemed to be careless, but also very meaningful.
"Master..."
Hou Wenji fell to his knees with a thump, bowed his head deeply and said, "I am guilty."
The emperor put down the porridge bowl, wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, and said in a flat tone: "Manchurian and military, only you are called my master. I have always regarded you as the most trustworthy servant at home, not an outsider. You say you Guilty, that's good... tell me, what did you do to offend my master?"
"I met Luo Wen in private."
"It's not that I don't allow all officials to have friendship in private. It's okay to meet and have some wine."
"Chen... I have a statement in my hand."
Hou Wenji took out Luo Erlang's confession from his cuff, and raised his arms above the country's head. Su Buwei glanced at the emperor, then walked over quickly and took the confession.
The emperor held it in his hand but didn't look at it. He casually threw it aside and said, "You tell me."
"This confession was confessed by the criminal who tried to kill Fang Jie that day. I thought it was the man who bit me indiscriminately. Because Luo Yao, the general of the left front guard, was involved, I didn't dare to believe it lightly, so today in Keshengju I made an appointment with Na Luowen in Rio. I planned to test it out, and take advantage of the opportunity to congratulate him on winning the first place in the Academy of Martial Arts to find out what is hidden behind. , but it did not prevent the conflict between that ignorant junior from the Jiangnan Wang family and the frontier army."
"oh?"
Sitting on the kang, the emperor bent down, looked at Hou Wenji and said word by word: "First, it is not a crime. Second, his heart should be punished!"
This sentence deserves to be punished, and Hou Wenji's body trembled in fright.
"Don't think I don't understand what you're thinking!"
The emperor got down from the kang, and walked around Hou Wenji who was kneeling on the ground with his hands behind his back: "You wish that there would be some minor disturbances from time to time, so that the guards in the palace would not be idle, right? Especially in the imperial capital, if there is always nothing to do, the Ouchi Guard Office and Qingya will appear to be doing nothing, making people feel like they have no existence, right? You want Zhen to praise you from time to time, Hou Wenji, You've been doing pretty well lately, haven't you?"
"I... plead guilty!"
The emperor snorted coldly and said: "Do you know what I am most angry with? It's not that you held a confession that deceived the emperor and refused to report it, it wasn't that you condoned that boy from the Wang family to do evil, but the relationship between you and Luo Weiran They even started to distrust each other! I entrusted the Ouchi Guard Office and the Qing Ya to you two because I want to watch your intrigue!"
This question struck my ears like thunder.
Hou Wenji knelt on the ground, not daring to raise his head.
