Cry Ha ha!The tyrant turned black after being attacked by me

After the palace examination, the top three rankings came out soon.

As for the ranking, although the three of them knew each other well, they each had their own considerations about what happened in the hall just now.

After walking out of the main hall, Hua Yuerong smiled and cupped his hands towards Lu Ran and Xiong Lie: "Congratulations to brother Lu for winning the top spot, high school champion, and congratulations to brother Xiong on the top spot in high school."

Xiong Lie smiled slightly, cupped his hands and said, "Congratulations to Brother Hua for being second in high school."

Lu Ran's eyes flickered, and he cupped his hands at Hua Yuerong, "Congratulations, congratulations Brother Hua for being second in high school."

Hua Yuerong smiled and waved his hands: "I am just lucky enough to be sheltered by my ancestors. I have studied for a few more years. Compared with Brother Lu's ambition, it is not worth mentioning. However, I lost the bet today. The three of us brothers went to Xiangmanlou to have a good meal and drink some wine to celebrate."

It stands to reason that after the scientific examination, the emperor will host a banquet in the palace to encourage the top three, commonly known as buying people's hearts.

But today the emperor is busy with important matters, so he set up the banquet until tomorrow.

It just so happened that the three of them could go to Xiangmanlou to have a good meal and celebrate first.

Just as Lu Ran was about to hand in his hands and agree, Ji Bao trotted over, and bowed his hands to the three of them with a smile, then looked at Lu Ran with his eyes, and said with a smile: "Zhuangyuan Lang, the emperor is pleased, and please come with our house for a while." Let's go!"

The expressions of Hua Yuerong and Xiong Lie became very subtle in an instant.

Lu Ran pursed his lips, turned around and bowed to Ji Bao, then turned to Hua Yuerong and said, "Brother Hua, I'm sorry, the emperor summoned me, I have to go to see the emperor first."

"It's okay, brother Lu, go quickly, don't keep the emperor waiting for a long time."

Hua Yuerong smiled slightly, waved his hands and said: "Let's not be in a hurry, I will wait for Brother Lu to leave the palace with Brother Xiong."

"Thank you Brother Hua."

Lu Ran cupped his hands, then looked at Kebao, made a gesture of invitation with a natural expression, and said in a low voice, "Please lead the way."

"Young scholar, this way please."

Ji Bao smiled and turned around and took Lu Ran to the imperial study.

Xiao Yuhuan and Mo Rufeng had already been waiting here.

As soon as Lu Ran stepped into the imperial study room and was about to uncover his robe and kneel down to salute, Xiao Yuhuan smiled and waved his hands and said, "You don't need to be too polite, please come forward and sit down! I summoned you today because the Taifu has something to say. to tell you."

Lu Ran cupped his hands, and after saluting briefly, he didn't actually sit down, but turned his body respectfully to Mo Rufeng and cupped his hands: "Your Excellency, please give me your advice."

Mo Rufeng waved his hand, and asked in a low voice with a rather complicated expression: "Your name is Lu Ran, I ask you, is Lu Yongchu your father?"

Lu Ran was stiffened by my question, and after a long while, he nodded lightly and said, "That's right, Master Taifu knows my father?"

Mo Rufeng's expression became more and more complicated, he nodded, and said solemnly: "The old man really knows your father, I just saw that you are very similar to your father, so I guessed, so I called you to ask, but I don't know you How is father now?"

Lu Ran was silent for a while, frowned slightly, and said respectfully, "My father passed away ten years ago."

"Passed away?"

Mo Rufeng's face changed suddenly, his eyes widened, and after taking a deep breath, he blinked, suppressing the shock and sadness in his heart, and asked in a hoarse voice: "What's wrong with your father? How did he die of illness? He has been in good health since he was a child, and his martial arts are not weak..."

The sudden death of a healthy person is really unacceptable.
