This martial artist just wants to be an official

Chapter 456 Luo Yujing

When Hai Wuyang and I arrived at the door, we saw a luxurious carriage parked at the door.

However, there was no one in the carriage. Lu Yuanzhi glanced at Hai Wuyang and asked:

"Where are they?"

"He should have left first." Hai Wuyang replied:
"I told them that if they couldn't wait, they should go first. It seems that they have gone there first."

"alright."

…………

The autumn breeze is refreshing, and Qinghe Mountain outside Kyoto is already crowded with people.

A huge carriage slowly drove here from the official road in the capital.

The carriage was decorated extremely luxuriously and was pulled by four horses. Even the coachman sitting in front of the carriage was dressed in brocade clothes.

The official road was extremely smooth, with only occasional rocky patches, but horse-drawn carriages could move along it as if on flat ground.

"Da da da~"

As the sound of four fine horses riding on the ground spread into the noisy crowd, almost all eyes were focused on the carriage.

"Such a luxurious carriage, I think only the gods from the Kewu Division can sit in it."

"Yes, with such a grand occasion, the Kewu Division will certainly send someone."

"Have you heard that Hai Wuyang will also be the chief examiner for Qinghe Academy's recruitment this time?"

"Hiss~ Could he be the cousin of the world-famous Duke of the Northern Kingdom, Lu Yuanzhi?"

"it's him!"

"It is said that he is the number one genius in Qinghe Academy."

"It seems that the Hai family is going to become the most powerful family in Dayong."

"Yes, first Duke Hai stood tall in the imperial court, then Hai Wuyang passed the imperial examination and became the top scholar, and now Lu Yuanzhi has become the number one general of Dayong and was named Duke of Beiguo... This overwhelming wealth and status of the noble family really makes people yearn for it."

"After several decades, who among us will be able to cross these many classes and become a vassal of the Hai family?"

"Tsk, that's difficult."

"..."

The envious eyes remained on the carriage from the moment it appeared.

Then everyone saw a student wearing Qinghe Academy uniform walking towards the carriage, shouting as he walked:

"Brother, wait for Fengnian!"

……

"Who is that person?"

Seeing the young man with the crabapple flower in his hair, some people looked puzzled:

"You have the guts to stop a carriage like this."

"You don't even know him? He's a classmate of Zhuangyuan Gonghai Wuan, and it's said that the two of them have a very good relationship."

"Oh? But is it Liu Fengnian who is known as the one who attracts pear blossoms with a crabapple tree?"

"it's him!"

"I'm jealous……"

"..."

Lu Yuanzhi's gaze made Hai Wuyang's indifferent face a little stiff.

"parking."

Lu Yuanzhi said to the carriage outside with a smile.

Then the carriage slowly stopped on the road.

Liu Fengnian was not embarrassed at all and extended his hand to the coachman. The coachman's mouth twitched and he looked into the carriage through the curtain.

"Tell him to come up."

Hai Wuyang gritted his teeth and said:

"Let him come up."

"Yes."

The coachman then grabbed Liu Fengnian's arm and pulled him onto the carriage.

As soon as the curtain of the carriage was lifted, Liu Fengnian saw Lu Yuanzhi and Hai Wuyang:
"Deli greets big brother, Quchen, how are you?"

Liu Fengnian's face was filled with a bright smile, and he found a place to squeeze in.

"It's been so long since we last met, why are you still so reckless?"

As soon as Liu Fengnian sat down, he heard Hai Wuyang's faint voice.

Liu Fengnian smiled innocently. He touched the crabapple flower on his head and said:
"Go, haven't you heard that the academy is recruiting new noble ladies? If I don't stand out, how can I attract attention?"

"Tsk."

Lu Yuanzhi looked Liu Fengnian up and down, raised his eyebrows and said:

"You are a Jinshi of Yong after all. It's been so long since the imperial examination, but you still haven't found the girl you like?"

It would have been better if he hadn't said this. Once he said it, Liu Fengnian's face was filled with bitterness, and all the bitterness in his heart poured out:
"Brother, you don't know that the class discrimination in the capital is as big as the mountains and rivers. I am a Jinshi from a merchant family. Even though I have some knowledge, no one can look up to me."

Having said this, Liu Fengnian looked out the carriage window in silence:

"Even if one is as wealthy as a country, one cannot change the prejudice against family background in the capital."

"Tsk."

Lu Yuanzhi sighed inwardly.

In the past life, people laughed at the poor but not at prostitutes. As long as you had money, you were the boss wherever you went.

In fact, it all comes down to the fact that Liu Fengnian's mind is a little wild.

There were many daughters of wealthy families who came from merchant families, and he naturally looked down on them, but if he wanted to marry the daughter of a powerful family...his background was indeed not qualified.

"Let's not talk about this. This time when the academy is recruiting new students, I will naturally look for some girls, and it would be best if I could match up with the daughter of a duke."

Liu Fengnian never concealed his thoughts in front of Lu Yuanzhi and Hai Wuyang.

"Good luck to you."

Lu Yuanzhi chuckled.

"Take it easy. If you can't succeed in ten years, then try twenty. If you can stand in the court and become a minister, why would you be abandoned by the prejudice of factions?"

Hai Wuyang's voice was still as calm as water.

"hehe."

When Liu Fengnian heard Hai Wuyang's words, he didn't know what to say and could only smile bitterly.

If it were so easy to become a court official, he wouldn't have complained so much in the car.

"I am Li Zhen, the Prime Minister of Yong. I have been in the imperial court for decades, but I cannot escape the fate of having my property confiscated by my elder brother. What virtue and ability do I have to be able to stand in the imperial court?"

When Liu Fengnian said this, he glanced at Lu Yuanzhi cautiously.

The Lu Yuanzhi at this time was no longer the Lu Yuanzhi of the past.

In just a few years, his rise in Beijing was as fast as a meteor in the sky.

In the past, he dared to call him "Big Brother" at will, but now whether he can call him "Big Brother" depends on Lu Yuanzhi's expression.

Of course, Lu Yuanzhi would not embarrass Liu Fengnian with this title.

When he first came to the capital, he was thrown into prison by the son of the Minister of Rites and the Jingzhao Prefecture. This kid dared to run to Pei Yinlang and ask Zhang Shenxing to save him.

Just for this reason, Lu Yuanzhi would not make things difficult for him in anything.

"Harmful."

Lu Yuanzhi just waved his hand and smiled:

"It was Li Zhen who went too far. He made things difficult for my uncle in the court and sent someone to assassinate my wife. If I don't kill his entire family, I won't be able to get over it."

"Cough cough."

Lu Yuanzhi's words made Hai Wuyang feel a little uncomfortable.

Since he started school, he has marked Li Zhen as his lifelong pursuit.

Li Zhen served as the prime minister of Dayong for forty-three years, and his disciples were spread throughout Dayong.

He is the idol that countless scholars swear to pursue.

He almost turned the court into his own place of authority.

If it weren't for the rise of his father and Prince Qing's support for the current emperor, Li Zhen would probably have the final say in the entire court.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, if there was no elder brother, the court now would probably be Li Zhen's alone.

Prince Qing was killed by Li Zhen, and his father was imprisoned by Li Zhen... If it weren't for my eldest brother's timely return...

It’s really hard to say.

"Let's not talk about those nonsense. Today is a great day. When we get to the academy, what should we do?"

Liu Fengnian glanced out of the car window curiously.

"Of course, I want to appreciate the talents from all over Dayong."

Lu Yuanzhi also looked out the window with a curious look on his face:

"I heard that the talented people in the academies all over the country are trying to suppress the students of Qinghe Academy."

"hehe."

Hai Wuyang just smiled faintly and didn't say anything else.

"Xu~"

With a long sigh from the coachman, the carriage stopped steadily at the gate of Qinghe Academy.

Nowadays, the entrance of Qinghe Academy is almost full of people.

There were also wealthy businessmen from all over the place, students from wealthy families from all over the place, women of power and influence in the capital, and heroes from the martial arts world.

Anyway, Qinghe Academy is very busy these days.

"Get out of the car first."

After arriving at Qinghe Academy, Hai Wuyang and Liu Fengnian began to play the role of hosts and arranged everything clearly for everyone.

"When does the conference start?"

After getting off the carriage, Lu Yuanzhi felt the hot autumn sun and strolled leisurely in the academy, asking about Hai Wuyang.

At this time, Hai Wuyang responded indifferently to the respectful gazes from everyone in the academy.

After hearing Lu Yuanzhi's words, he pondered:
"It should be in the afternoon. Anyway, let's go see the teacher first."

"Indeed, it's hard to believe that you haven't even taken a look after returning to Beijing for so long."

Lu Yuanzhi nodded and glanced at Liu Fengnian beside him. At this moment, Liu Fengnian responded to the curious eyes around him with a gentle smile. The brand new crabapple flower on his head made him look even more unique under the sunlight.

"I have to go see the teacher too, so I'll go with Qu Chen."

"In that case, you guys go ahead and I'll just take a look around."

Lu Yuanzhi took a look at the surrounding scenery, then separated from the two and wandered around the academy alone.

In fact, Lu Yuanzhi didn't like the atmosphere in the academy.

So he simply left the academy and came to Qinghe Mountain alone.

The Qinghe Mountain today is no different from the Taoist temple back then.

It can be described as a sea of ​​people.

Lu Yuanzhi is young and has his own demeanor. When he walks in the crowd, he can attract everyone's attention.

Everyone who saw him secretly speculated about his identity.

Even a rich and noble young man would be fine.

Even if he is a rich and powerful young master, no one would guess that he is the most famous Duke in the world today.

after all……

It doesn't look like it.

It's really too small.

There has never been such a young Duke, not only in Dayong, but also in the entire history.

He just wants to live a quiet and comfortable life.

Before he knew it, Lu Yuanzhi had also wandered deep into the mountains.

This was the first time he had wandered around so comfortably since he entered the third rank.

As far as I can remember, after reaching the third level, I almost always flew when traveling, or accelerated at full speed, and it was rare for me to take a leisurely walk in the mountains and forests.

while walking.

Lu Yuanzhi saw an acquaintance.

That's a young man.

A flash of memory flashed in Lu Yuanzhi's eyes.

At the beginning, Bai Qingying and Xian Ling'er went to the martial arts world to recruit subordinates for themselves. When they arrived at Duanya Mountain, Bai Qingying was detained by its ancestor.

The clever boy I met on the mountain when I went to Duanya Mountain to rescue Bai Qingying.

Lu Yuanzhi remembered that he was smart, so he gave him a token and said that if he wanted to come to Pei Yinlang, he could come.

When seeing this boy, Lu Yuanzhi inexplicably thought of Li Jin who died to protect Bai Qingying.

Although Li Jin's cultivation was not high, he was one of the first Pei Yin Langs to follow him...

Is Wanwan similar to you?
Lu Yuanzhi watched his boy's figure in the dark with great interest.

He was looking around with a vigilant look on his face, his hand wrapped in something that looked like a sharp blade, and his breathing was hurried.

But Lu Yuanzhi just raised his eyebrows.

According to his perception, there were at least six or seven figures lurking behind this boy.

Having not seen each other for some time, Lu Yuanzhi's eyes wandered over this boy, and he discovered that this boy had broken through to the fifth level of martial arts.

Although he has just entered the fifth level, this kid looks no more than twenty-three or twenty-four years old.

If he were in Beijing, he would definitely be a genius.

Before destroying the sect of Duan Ya Mountain, Lu Yuanzhi clearly remembered that this guy was only an eighth-grade cultivator...

In less than two years, this kid actually went from the eighth rank to the fifth rank...

It seems that after Duanya Mountain was destroyed by himself, this kid has had many adventures in the world.

"Everyone, is it worth it for you to come all the way from Jianzhou to the capital just for a bronze mirror?"

The boy's voice was solemn.

Hearing this voice, Lu Yuanzhi's mouth curled up slightly. It could be heard that this boy seemed to be injured.

The end of the strong crossbow.

As the boy's voice fell, the forest was silent, without any sound.

Except for the chirping of birds.

"Come out, I can sense you."

The boy suddenly pulled out a silver sword from the package, frowned, and stabbed in one direction.

The speed is as fast as a ghost.

"what?"

When Lu Yuanzhi saw this scene, a look of surprise appeared on his face.

He was only at the beginning of the fifth rank, but his speed was faster than that of the peak fifth rank, and even comparable to that of the fourth rank? ?
This kid has some tricks!

Sure enough, a figure hiding in the dark was caught off guard and was killed instantly. He didn't even have time to scream before he died under his sword.

Seeing this scene, the remaining figures suddenly rose into the sky and jumped out from the dead leaves.

"Good boy, in just half a month, you have broken through from the sixth level of the Breath-Containing Realm to the fifth level. It seems that the bronze mirror on you is indeed the legendary Luo Yu Mirror!!!"

The next moment, six figures suddenly jumped out from the darkness and surrounded the small words.

Lu Yuanzhi could tell with just a glance that the middle-aged man in the lead was at the fifth level, and the other five were all at the sixth level.

But judging from the speed shown by this kid, he almost killed these people on the spot.

But there is a problem.

It seemed that this little character had an injury inside his body. Although he was trying his best to hide it, Lu Yuanzhi's eyes were like a ruler and he could see it at a glance.

"Luoyu Realm? I really don't know what you are talking about. I really admire you for following me all the way from Jianzhou to here."

"Stop talking nonsense, hand over the Luo Yujing, and I'll let you go."

The man said this, but his steps did not slow down at all. Six figures had already blocked the boy's way.

He cannot fly without wings.

"Okay, okay, I can see that you really need this."

The boy seemed to have compromised and put his hand between his chest...

Seeing this scene, Lu Yuanzhi raised his eyebrows slightly.

He was also very curious about what the Luoyu Mirror was...
