There was a lot of discussion around him, "This palace is really grand."
"Yes, the young prince's method of selecting talents is also so clever."
"But there have been two to three hundred applicants, and it seems that there are less than ten people who have entered the guest table so far."
Following the heated discussion, Yi Jing and others looked toward where they were sitting in the palace hall.
Sure enough, only one of the eight tables was full, with exactly eight people.
In other words, there are only 64 places for Xiao Pengwang to recruit this time. However, there were more than 300 applicants, and the success rate of their applications was less than one-fifth. The fierce competition is evident.
Yi Jing put down a piece of fruit he was holding and said with a smile, "I'm becoming more and more interested now. This little Peng Wang is indeed a character."
"Well, this is a family matter. Since we are not sincere, let's not make trouble."
Ba Fengnan also said, "You've come here, but why don't you go and see Little King Peng? Let's see if he is as divine as the legend says."
Yi Jing encouraged, "That's what I mean too."
Tolstoy said helplessly, "Well, since you all mean that, then I have no choice but to agree."
The three people lined up and came to the test stone. The steward of the palace immediately said, "The next tester please come on."
Yi Jing was first in line. He patted his chest and said to the steward, "Is it true that if you don't pass the test, you won't be able to meet Prince Peng?"
The old butler smiled and said, "Your distinguished guest is right. This is the rule of the palace. Please forgive me."
"It doesn't matter, then I can take the test now."
The old housekeeper asked someone to correct the test stone, and immediately said to Yi Jing, "You can start now. Please use the power of martial arts to hit this stone made of thousand-year-old cold iron. It will sense the martial spirit in your body. The strength of your power. And your realm is shown by color. It is divided into seven levels. Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, red and orange are unqualified. Three colors above orange represent qualified. As for Blue and purple. Haha, since I took charge of the test seven years ago, I have never met anyone who can use the power of martial arts to make the test stone emit blue and purple light."
hehe! Yi Jing laughed and said, "Old housekeeper, you have to watch out."
"Hey, another braggart." "Isn't it? It's just a cow dung egg with a bright appearance." "I don't think he can even detect the color red. Maybe he doesn't know martial arts combat skills at all."
The crowd began to talk about Yi Jing, but Yi Jing was not affected at all. He slowly raised his hand to the top of the test stone, and lowered his fingers as if covering a child's head.
Chi! The test stone made a buzzing sound, and then finally emitted a burst of weak energy. Then, everyone looked dumbfounded, and someone shouted, "No, the test stone has moved."
"Why can't you see the color?" "Is it possible that he is simply a liar?" "Impossible. How could the test stone not measure the power of his martial spirit? The test stone weighing a thousand kilograms obviously moved, and it also There was an unusual noise.”
Even the old housekeeper, who was the examiner, let out a confused sigh.
Chi! The light was like a hand tearing open the gap in the test stone, instantly spreading out from the middle of the stone.
"It's purple. Oh my god, it's purple right from the start. It's really amazing."
"What, after so many years, there has never been a master of the Little Heavenly Level to apply for the job. Little Prince, Little Prince."
The old housekeeper happily rushed to the house and reported the matter to the young prince Peng Yong.
Several other guards came over immediately to isolate Yi Jing from the rest of the crowd, both for protection and surveillance.
A young man drove up to Yi Jing with a dozen soldiers and scribes in a hurry.
When he saw Yi Jing's appearance, his brows were happy, but when he saw Yi Jing's clothes, he frowned at first, then stepped forward and said to Yi Jing with his hands on his back, "Did you measure the rank of Xiaotian?"
Yi Jing clapped his hands, cupped them and said, "Hello, young prince, yes, I am the one here."
"Brother, can you try it again? How about opening Xiao Wang's eyes."
Yi Jing smiled and said, "You're welcome, young prince. Please." Yi Jing stretched out his hand to the test stone again, the purple light disappeared briefly, and Xiao Peng Wang said in shock, "Brother, what a powerful martial spirit power. Xiao The king admires me, please come in and talk about it."
Yi Jing pointed to the two people behind him and said, "Little prince, let me introduce you. This one is called Xiaotuo and this one is called Xiaofeng. They are both my good brothers. Their abilities are not inferior to mine!" "
"Oh, then I have to invite a few of you to come in for a chat. Butler, take care of all the distinguished guests, three of you. Please come in."
Just because Prince Xiao Peng listened to Yi Jing's words and made an exception to allow Tolstoy and Ba Fengnan to enter the inner palace, we can see that he is a decisive British master.
The three of them immediately followed the young prince and drove towards the inner palace.
Peng Yong first took them to see the scenery in the inner palace, and then took them to the main hall. After the guests and hosts sat down, he immediately said to another steward next to him, "Go and invite Mr. Wen out immediately. Tell him that a distinguished guest is visiting."
"Yes, Your Majesty." The servants served tea. After Peng Yong and the three of them sat down separately, he said, "You three, please have tea."
"Your Majesty, you're welcome. Your Majesty, I heard that your mansion is recruiting talents today, so I wanted to come and take a look. After arriving at Peng Mansion, the mansion is indeed in a prosperous atmosphere. Probably all the heroes in Nanjun City have gathered at the Prince's Mansion. Come on. Your Majesty is a man of merit and employs people without any doubts. Even the commoners like us are treated as honored guests by His Majesty. Your Majesty’s mind is really broad.”
Peng Yong was probably sixteen or seventeen years old, but his face had both an immature and a sophisticated look. He listened to Yi Jing's words. He immediately stopped and said, "Hey, my family's misfortune has passed down to my generation. The ancestral inheritance and glory of the Zhennan Palace have become meager. Nine years ago, the evil prime minister Dong Zhuo was killed by the famous Lord of Yida City and several others. After the top-notch martial arts masters were annihilated, the Wuhun Continent was in constant war, continuing the turmoil in the future.
At that time, I was only eight or nine years old, but Xiao Wang already wanted to recruit people to join the army in righteousness. Do something for the people and people of Wuhun Continent.
But firstly, there is something wrong with the palace, and secondly, he is still young and has a family to take care of. Therefore, he failed to raise a righteous teacher with the chaos in the world, accept the king's order, and do something for the Wuhun Dynasty. "
The three of them listened and secretly admired him. At the age of eight or nine, Xiao Peng Wang actually already has great ambitions.
"Well, Xiao Wang also has such an ambition, and he will definitely be able to realize it in the future. But the young prince did not do anything seven or eight years ago, which is not a bad thing."
"Oh, what's the reason?"
Yi Jing analyzed to him, "Based on the general trend of the world today, if the young prince took action seven or eight years ago, let me ask you, seven or eight years ago in Wuhun Continent, which orthodox legion was the most powerful?"
"Do you still need to ask? Of course it is the Xingcheng Army of Xingcheng King Yi Chongtian."
Yi Jing nodded and said, "It's right here after all. If the young prince had done anything at that time, he would have already become the subordinate of King Xingcheng Yi Chongtian. And King Xingcheng was defeated in Luocheng. He has been in ruins ever since, and he Offended the Xuanmen Zhengzong. It has become a royal family that the martial arts cultivators in the world have given up on. Let me ask, how can a prince who has already reached his twilight be able to raise the banner of revitalizing the Wuhun Dynasty? A rising tide lifts all boats. In the same way, Xiao The prince failed to join the Xingcheng Army. The water receded and the ship ran aground. It can be considered a great blessing among misfortunes."
Peng Yong's eyes immediately shot out a ray of light, and his heart was already filled with turbulent emotions like huge waves.
He had never heard of it, and he had never considered a problem from such a strange direction and angle.
Now I heard that Yi Jing had arrived, and every word he said seemed to hit the core and hit the nail on the head. The words are powerful and the words are true. They can be said to be eloquent and admirable. "Sir, what you said is enough to make Xiao Wang ashamed. As you said, if I take action early, I will definitely be attacked by Xingcheng King Yi Chongtian." He joined his army. Now he will probably suffer the humiliation of a defeated general. It's really dangerous to think about it.
However, when a man is alive, as long as it is beneficial to the dynasty. Even if you throw your head and blood, so what. There are some things that, as a martial soul cultivator, you have to do even though you know you can't do them. For some things, even though we know that there is a risk of death, we still have to move forward without hesitation. This is what the martial arts practitioners of our generation should do. "
The three of them looked at each other and smiled approvingly.
Yi Jing said to Tolstoy and Ba Fengnan, "Brothers, see how the young prince is doing."
"Enlightened, wise, and courageous." "Well, your courage is commendable."
Yi Jing smiled and said, "To be judged like this by two brothers, it seems that the young prince is indeed a dragon among men."
Peng Yong had never heard anyone comment on him like this to his face. He felt funny and admired at the same time. He said to the three of them, "Big brothers are laughing at me. This is just Xiao Wang's heartfelt remarks. By the way, a few of you." Big brother hasn’t told us your surnames yet.”
The three of them knew that the names with small letters in front of them that had been reported falsely had been found to be false by the other party.
Yi Jing's voice turned low and he said to Xiao Peng Wang, "My name is Yi Jing, this is Tolstoy, and this is Ba Fengnan."
Prince Peng was holding a jade cup in his hand and was sipping tea. Suddenly he heard the names of the three of them, and his hand trembled. The tea in the jade cup almost didn't spill out. He said in shock, "It turns out it's you!"
The three people nodded one after another and immediately stood up politely. Xiao Wang said with an emotional expression, "I have already guessed that your identities are somewhat mysterious. I really didn't expect that these people would come to Nanwang County. I don't know if Xiao Wang should be happy this time." Well, I’m still worried. These are all the overlords in the Wuhun Continent. I’m not here to persuade Xiao Wang to stop recruiting talents and strengthen the palace.”
