Chapter 231 Chapter 232
Ye Fan, Ling Qingshan and Hao Ziming, three Wuhous, left the Imperial College and came to the bustling main street of the royal city together.
In the most prosperous area in the middle of the street, I found the most famous luxury restaurant in the royal city and ordered a private room on the second floor.
Hao Ziming is an old Wuhou in the Imperial College for more than 20 years. He has a wide range of friendship and knows many Wuhous who have had the previous palace examinations. He met many other kings, officials and ministers in the restaurant in the royal city and kept saying hello.
Ling Qingshan is also quite famous in the royal city and is a rising star in the royal family. Many people greet him along the way.
In contrast, Ye Fan is unknown in the royal city and has no familiar face. Only a few students from the Imperial College have met him, but they are not deeply impressed.
When they arrived at the private room next to the window on the second floor, the three of them sat down.
"Please use it slowly, three sirs"
Several maids served various fresh fruits and melons, poured good tea, and then left.
The three of them chatted in the private room, all about cultivation.
"The next time the Star Tower opens, there is still one month left. This month, how do you plan to practice in seclusion in the Imperial College or go out to practice."
Hao Ziming asked.
"I major in the Golden System, but there are few places suitable for the Golden System. I guess I will only be in seclusion in the Imperial College for a month."
Ling Qingshan shook his head and said.
"I haven't thought about Brother Hao yet."
Ye Fandao.
“在离王城附近有一些地方颇适合修炼,迷雾森林,寒冰湖,毒雾沼泽等地.我估计去迷雾森林,修炼一个月回来.武侯的话,赶路去附近的修炼之地,只需一两天的时间,倒也方便.还有更远的其它郡,则需要乘骑飞行兽才方便赶路.叶老弟要是外出历练,可以在城里驭兽阁租借一头飞行骑兽,方便在下个月的星辰塔开放的时候赶回来.”
Hao Ziming reminded.
"Well, thank you Brother Hao for your reminder. I will think carefully about where to practice."
Ye Fan nodded and said.
The places around the royal city that are suitable for Wuhou’s cultivation have been occupied by many Wuhou. He doesn’t want to compete with them for a place to practice, so he wants to find a place to practice, of course, to go far away from some places with few people.
If he could have a suitable place for cultivation, he might not have to rush back to the Star Tower for trial.
This Star Tower is good, but the practice time is too short. Moreover, the most precious time stone in the Star Tower will only appear once every three years. It will not appear again in recent years. The significance of the Star Tower is much smaller for him.
Ye Fan thought in his mind that he would find a suitable place to practice for a year and a half, so that he would save time on the road and waste time.
"Boom"
Just as the three of them were talking.
A rumbling sound was heard from afar, and the sound of horse hooves was unscrupulous.
As soon as he heard the rapid sound of horse hooves, all the pedestrians on Wangcheng Street immediately reacted in a conditioned manner, and hurriedly hurriedly avoided both sides of the street, not daring to stop them.
Flying cavalry is prohibited in Canglan King City. Whether it is a king, a powerful man, a court minister, or a marquis, a marquis Wu, he is not allowed to sprint on the bustling streets of the city. He was found to be severely punished by the royal guards.
But everything is exceptional.
There was one who dared to rush into the royal city, and no one could control it.
Although this sound has not sounded in the royal city for a long time, when this sound appears again, everyone in the royal city will be alert and retreat to both sides of the street.
"Princess Jiaojiao is back"
Hao Ziming's face changed slightly, and he blurted out almost instinctively.
All three looked out the window on the street.
In the distance, a small group of female cavalry in a fiery red light armored cloak. The leader was the princess Ling Jiaojiao wearing beautiful red armor and holding a red whip. A group of six cavalrymen galloped on the bustling streets of the royal city, came in through the city gate, crossed the street, and headed towards the palace.
Even the general guarding the city gate dared not stop him, let alone others.
"I'm surprised that Princess Ling Jiaojiao committed the incident last time. Wasn't she sent to Donglai County by the monarch? Why did she return to the city? I heard that before the monarch ordered her to return to the royal city, she had not been allowed to return to the royal city, and she had not reached the monarch of Wu."
Hao Ziming couldn't help but be very surprised.
"Brother Hao doesn't know that there is another month for the king's birthday. The princess is coming back now, so she must be back in advance to celebrate the king's birthday. The royal family members will go to celebrate the birthday."
Ling Qingshan drank wine and said in a quiet voice.
Everyone in Canglan King City knows that Ling Jiaojiao is the pearl in the hands of the king. She is the most favored and made a huge mistake and is just a small punishment. The last time she was demoted to Donglai County by the king, it was because she wanted to go to the Imperial College Library Library, but was stopped by the people in the Imperial College. In anger, people sent people to burn the Imperial College Library Library, and almost burned many ancient books that had been thousands of years old.
It caused anger from the ministers of the court, which caused a lot of controversy, and wrote a letter to the king to punish her severely.
In order to calm the anger of the people, the king was sent to Donglai County and was punished that she did not become a Marquis of Wu and was not allowed to return to the royal city. But this was just a small punishment, to avoid disaster.
Fortunately, the Canglan royal family is only one who dares to cause trouble. Other princes are not favored, and no one dares to cause trouble like this.
After Princess Jiaojiao was driven out of the royal city, the court ministers did not pursue the matter anymore.
Naturally, she could not miss this king's birthday. Before she became a Marquis of Wu, she made an exception and returned to the city.
Ling Qingshan, who was also a son of the Canglan royal family, was named "Qingshan Marquis", dared not compare with Ling Jiaojiao. Besides, he is a subordinate of the royal family and has an awkward position. Although he is already a Marquis of Wu, he is not as good as an ordinary royal prince.
Six cavalrymen in red armor were running on the street, crossing the street towards the palace.
Suddenly, Ling Jiaojiao saw Ye Fan, Ling Qingshan, Hao Ziming and others in the window of the second floor private room.
"Huh"
Ling Jiaojiao showed surprise.
She didn't expect to see Ye Fan when she returned to the royal city.
Last time in Xiayang County, after the 30,000 army of troops conquered the desert ghost tribe and fought the victory, Ye Fan left without saying goodbye, leaving a letter and left the army of the three counties. Since then, she never heard of Ye Fan again, and she didn't know which county government to practice.
However, she was not in a hurry.
She knew that Ye Fan was practicing very quickly and had a martial soul awakening pill. It was a foregone conclusion that he became a Wuhou. Once he became a Wuhou, Ye Fan would definitely go to the royal city to enter the Imperial College, and participate in the Canglan Palace Examination, and become one of the important figures in the Canglan Country.
So sooner or later she will see Ye Fan in the royal city.
But unexpectedly, after only a few months, she actually met Ye Fan in the royal city, which was much faster than she expected.
Ling Jiaojiao immediately pulled her horse, stopped, held her horse down the restaurant, and looked upstairs in surprise.
The five female knights in red wearing red masks behind her also stopped instantly and protected them like cold sculptures.
"Princess, you're back to the royal city"
Ling Qingshan was stunned. He didn't know why Ling Jiaojiao stopped below, and looked at them with a smile. He was puzzled and quickly stood up and bowed to him. Could it be that he had something to do with him, but he didn't have much friendship with the princess.
"Well, Qingshan Hou is fine."
Ling Jiaojiao nodded lightly, but didn't talk to him much. Instead, she smiled at Ye Fan and said, "Ye Fan, when did you come to the royal city?"
"Princess, I broke through the realm of Wuhou last month, so I came to the Imperial College in the royal city to report that I have been practicing in the Imperial College for the past month."
Ye Fan stood up, bowed to Princess Jiaojiao, and said.
"I broke through Marquis Wu last month, no wonder you sat with Marquis Qingshan. Congratulations to Marquis Ye Wu."
Ling Jiaojiao was surprised, laughed, and then said, "I had known that you would have come to the royal city last month, and I would have returned to the city last month to make my father's birthday next month. I will come back this time to prepare for the birthday celebration. By the way, you should also attend my father's birthday banquet. Many people will attend. I will introduce you to your father and recognize him. It is more convenient to be in the royal city."
"I have to attend the birthday party of the king. I have to prepare for the birthday party and enter the palace to celebrate my birthday. The whole process may take a long time, and it will take at least ten days or half a month. I just came out of the Star Tower of the Imperial College and was preparing to go out for practice these days. I am afraid it will take a long time to come back, at least half a year, and as long as a year."
Ye Fan thought for a moment and shook his head.
"Oh, that's it"
Princess Jiaojiao looked a little disappointed, but soon Zhan Yan smiled and said, "It's okay, cultivation is the most important thing. There are only more than a year left before this palace examination. Time must be very tight. I guess you must be participating in this palace examination and have a lot of things to be busy with. With your strength, you may really have hope of being the first to be the first. Since this is the case, you don't have to waste time. I will just say to my father at the birthday party and bring you a greeting."
"Thank you princess"
Ye Fan was a little moved and said thank you.
Princess Jiaojiao helps with a greeting and makes you familiar with the king. This is not an ordinary gift.
Princess Jiaojiao and Ye Fan said goodbye, and six red horses rode toward the palace.
Ling Qingshan and Hao Ziming both looked shocked.
The three Wuhou continued to chat in the room for a long time and talked about a lot of cultivation, but did not mention how Ye Fan met Princess Jiaojiao.
Half an hour, Ye Fan said goodbye and was about to go out to practice.
Only Ling Qingshan and Hao Ziming were left, and they sat in the private room for a long time, and remained silent for a long time.
"It seems that Brother Ye's connections are so deep that he is not inferior to you and me."
Hao Ziming took a sip of tea and sighed.
I originally thought that at least he was far better than Ye Fan in the royal city, and he knew many Wuhou Jianshe and court ministers. But I never expected that Ye Fan had a friendship with Princess Jiaojiao, and it seemed that this friendship was not ordinary.
What a character, Princess Jiaojiao is? She is enough to surpass countless other princes and nobles. Knowing this person is more effective than knowing a lot of people in the royal city.
She said something, it would be much better than saying a hundred words from other princes.
"I had a chance to compete with Ye Fan before and left some strength. I thought that Ye Fan's solid foundation had a chance to reach the top ten in the palace examination. But now it seems that in the Canglan Palace Examination a year and a half later, Ye Fan's possibility of being on the list is already ten thousand, and he has also made up for the weakest connections. If Princess Jiaojiao is willing to speak up for him, the king will definitely look at him differently, and then the top three in the palace examination is not bad either.
In this palace examination, I am determined to win the top ten. There are many places in the top ten, so there is no conflict with Ye Fan. But I am going to go to the top three and I will definitely meet Ye Fan. Ye Fan is born in a flash, and the top three has added another strong competitor. It is difficult."
Hao Ziming said with great worries.
You should know that in addition to those of them who entered the Star Tower, there are also some who have not returned from training abroad and are quite strong and can compete for the top three.
"Yan Xiuzheng, the leader of the last palace examination, was just a time when he met the king. He accidentally made indirect guesses and guessed the king's thoughts by luck, so he dominated the leader with a essay on the water. But this method cannot be repeated, and it is easy to make mistakes and guesses the king's thoughts.
But Princess Jiaojiao didn't need to guess the king's thoughts, she just asked directly. Then she passed the words to Ye Fan, and Ye Fan would naturally be prepared. If she didn't enter the top three, that would be a strange thing. I see Princess Jiaojiao's expression today. She would most likely have to speak well for Ye Fan in front of the king, and even help him in other aspects."
Ling Qingshan shook his head and said.
Both of them were drinking tea, both worried.
