Song Xing: I am cultivating immortals in Qingcheng Mountain

Chapter 555: An Incident in the Imperial Examination Hall, the Wrath of the Wandering God

The gate of the Imperial Examination Hall slowly closed in the morning light. The vermilion lacquered door made a dull banging sound, engulfing the figures of hundreds of examinees deep into the solemn examination room.

Xiao Se and the other two stood outside the door, looking around with different expressions.

In a blink of an eye, two hours had passed. The joke that happened when entering the venue seemed not to have faded away yet, and the shadow of the sundial had quietly passed half a circle of bluestone scales.

"Second brother, I heard that the palace examination is more interesting than the imperial examination. I just don't know if I will have the chance to experience it again!"

Xiao Yu stretched lazily out of boredom, his tone sounding a little casual.

Xiao Chong was standing aside, resting with his eyes closed. When he heard Xiao Yu's words, he slowly opened his eyes.

"You should ask Father about this, not me!"

This imperial examination was a special one, decided by Emperor Mingde. As for whether the final palace examination would be held or not, his opinion as a prince had no say.

"Sixth brother, don't you have any objections? You haven't said a word since just now. Did you just return to the capital and no one came to ask you for help?!"

Xiao Se clasped his hands together in front of his chest, looking very calm.

Xiao Chong narrowed his eyes, a cold light flashing in his eyes.

Xia Shu sighed. What Xiao Se said was very right. The imperial court needed to give an explanation to heaven, and the Xiao family needed to give an explanation to heaven. Then it was time for the family to do it again.

The exam has not yet been completed. Once that door is opened, all of us will be responsible for whether there are any problems or not.

Gongyuan realized that it was right and asked in a warm voice.

"Your Highness, something happened."

As Xiao Se took a step forward, his voice was also very hot.

The loud shout, accompanied by the explosion of internal force, hurt the eardrums of people far away. Gongyuan frowned and was about to speak, but was interrupted by Xiao Se.

Gongyuan and Xiao Chong were both stunned, and their faces turned ugly.

Perhaps I had expected that my luck would be so bad that I was assigned to such a cell. All the theories on governing the country in my mind were now like a drop in the ocean. My mind was filled with confusion and I could hardly write a word.

After hearing the advice from the official from the Ministry of Rites, I felt less determined.

The Gongyuan was moving, but it meant that everyone else was moving too. Xiao Chong clasped his hands behind his back and said in a hot voice, "Get out of the way!!"

"In the Red King's Palace, that... is in accordance with the rules..."

"Myna, let him lead the way..."

Xiao Chong standing aside also had a very grim expression on his face, this matter was of great importance and directly involved the future of the court. It was false that I wanted this position, but what I wanted was a kingdom that was on the decline.

Before the exam was over, I used my spiritual sense to monitor every move in the exam room. For example, I saw this cheater clearly, but I didn't pay attention to what the students wrote.

"Yes."

Xiao Chong took a step back, his aura suddenly bursting out. I grabbed the shoulder of the official of the Ministry of Rites with my seven fingers and dragged him behind the steps. The official's black hat was tilted and half hung down, revealing his pale face underneath.

Just imagine if this matter gets out, I, Xiao Chong, will break the rules of the imperial examination and make the scholars in heaven happy, but Xiao Se, who leads the way, will also put himself under the fire.

"It's okay..."

Suddenly, Xiao Se's expression changed drastically.

Even the lives of students are protected, who would be willing to doubt the court? ?

"rule??"

There are those who write very fast, like Cao Mingyuan, the son of the Minister of Works. His wolf-hair brush moves lightly on the rice paper and he has turned several pages before the ink is dry.

Rules are order. Everything in the world has its own rules. The country has no rules, the world has no rules, and the imperial examinations naturally have no rules. I am vague about other things, but the rules of the imperial examinations have never been broken since the founding of the Beili Kingdom.

"who is it??"

Gongyuan had no intention of stopping him, but Xiao Se waved his hand. "There is only one person who died outside of Xiao Yu."

When the official on the side heard what you said, he looked at you, and you looked at him, but neither of you took any action.

Gongyuan narrowed his eyes and then looked at Xiao Se. It seemed that his younger brother also wanted to let Xiao Se go.

The leader walked slowly behind Xiao Se and the other eight people, with a hint of chill in his tone. No one dared to cause trouble under our noses! !

Xiao Chong curled the corner of his mouth and waved his hand. The scabbard of the accompanying guard was pressed against the throat of the patrol officer who came rushing over after hearing the noise.

A mountain-like momentum rose from the ground, and then a wave of pressure directly covered the entire Xiao Yu.

Now that the situation has eased, the Imperial Examination Hall has become less important.

The visitor was about to speak when my eye suddenly twitched.

"What's wrong??"

"Eighth brother, let Mr. Yu..."

In the examination room, Xiao Se's brows suddenly frowned. I entered a trance, and spiritual consciousness was born in my body. After Jun Yu and Sikong Changfeng's instruction, I was still not able to use it even slightly.

In the examination room, several people in the Mysterious Realm who were hiding in the dark and monitoring the exam appeared at the same time, and their expressions were very sinister.

Gongyuan narrowed his eyes.

A hint of sarcasm flashed across Xiao Chong's lips. He didn't regard this matter as a joke at all.

……
"The King asked him to open the door..."

Gongyuan's eyes flickered, and he wondered in his heart what had happened in Xiao Yu that made the Shenyou so angry.

"Seventh Brother, rules are dead, but people are alive. If Xia Shu gets into trouble while away, and if we still care about the rules and let fewer students die, how will the court explain to the scholars in heaven?"

"Little man."

That is the world of people in the examination room.

The bleak voice was not very deep, just like my current state of mind, which is bad, very bad.

"presumptuous!!!"

"Seventh brother, before many things come to an end, I advise you not to be too happy too early."

I thought it was a big deal like plagiarism or cheating, and we could just kill one to warn the rest. But a death, a student died at the hands of Xiao Yu, that is a big deal. If this matter gets out, who would dare to take part in the imperial examination these days? It would become a joke to be selected for the country.

"Your Highness, the exam has not yet begun. Is it in accordance with the rules to open the door now?"

Gongyuan's face was ashen, and his tone was as bad as the wind blowing in the cold winter, cold and biting.

In the Imperial Examination Hall, in each dormitory, many students showed very different expressions.

Some were scratching their heads and ears. In a corner near the stinky house, a scholar in a blue shirt covered his nose with one hand and grasped a pen with the other, his knuckles turning white.

"Open the door!!"

There was no cell, and a thin and strong woman took the opportunity of adjusting her clothes to take out a copy of the cheat sheet, which was hidden so cleverly that it escaped the examiner's search at the entrance.

During the scientific expedition, Xiao Yu's small door was closed. In particular, Xiao Yu's small door would only be opened before the scientific expedition began.

"This year, I am presiding over the exams, and my words are not the rules!!"

Because during that time, my consciousness locked onto everyone in Xia Shu, but I didn't find anything unusual. What does that mean? We have no clues about that unnatural death.

The woman's lips curved, the other party had no tricks, I had no ladder, but just as I was about to raise my pen, I suddenly felt a chill on the front of my neck. I looked up and met the cold gaze of the invigilator, and I immediately collapsed like mud.
