It’s too dangerous to seize the direct descendant, so I choose to be the leader of the Demon Cult

Chapter 115 Are you good at making fire?

Zhao Ci really convinced Zhao Huan, the sixth person.

You act like you are good to yourself, but in fact you are not willing to give any benefits at all.

The whole Linge knew that he was the only one who could have dinner with the emperor at any time.

I felt that the emperor pampered me very much.

But in fact, there are not even a single real benefit.

Even the reward of 20 taels was earned by myself.

The only benefit is the hanging spider silk.

He was also intercepted by the clan government.

If Kan Luotang hadn't been so powerful, he would have fallen into the hands of others.

If this were the case before, it could still be explained by negligence.

Then this time's "lucky gift" must be said to be intentional.

He is sure now.

Lao Deng's "goodness" to him was just a show.

Otherwise, why did Zhao Yong and Zhao Xie know about the "Yun Dynasty Gift", but he didn't know about it?
Lao Deng didn't know that he had united with his little aunt.

His image is still that of a son who admires him immensely.

The mother's family background is not bad either, the Xiang family is also one of the seven meritorious families.

But he was still isolated.

Zhao Ci would have been a little confused before.

But now, he feels that this matter is inseparable from Xiang Tiange's death.

Lao Deng's kindness to him was most likely a show off to those who doubted Xiang Tiange's death.

so.

It was a scam from start to finish.

That's it.

Still want to trick me into working for you and donating my kidneys to you?
It's not a dream!
But what exactly is this "lucky gift"?
Could it be that Lao Deng really has mastered the means to rebuild the destiny of the dynasty?

If this is the case, the pressure on myself seems to be even greater.

"Boss, what's wrong with you?"

Seeing that Zhao Ci's eyes were slightly gloomy, Zhu Li clenched her white fist and shook it in the air: "Did Zhao Yong bully you? If so, I'll burn him!"

Zhao Ci curled his lips, rubbed her ball head and said with a smile, "Don't worry! If you want to beat her, I'll beat her myself!"

Feng Kucha didn't take it seriously, rubbed his hands and said: "Ci Dad, after the government examination is over, the merit library will be opened. Don't forget my Wan Mugen!"

Zhao Ci grinned: "Call me daddy a few more times, or I'll designate the pigeon."

Feng Kucha: "Farewell, quit daddy, quit daddy, quit daddy!"

Zhao Ci: "..."

Zhu Li: "..."

Yang Mo: "..."

Zhao Ci waved his hand helplessly: "Don't worry! We don't have anything else. We have enough merit. When everyone goes in and picks one, don't be polite to me."

He checked with people from the Zongren Mansion in the middle of yesterday, and found out that the current merits of the Ten Princes' Mansion totaled [-] points.

Most of them come from military orders. This kind of task must be completed, so they are given in advance.

Based on Xingyu Danhui's production capacity, the military orders can account for at most half.

In other words, by selling elixirs to others, he can still get a hundred merit points.

Although you have to save up some space for the Soldier God Tower, you must not be stingy with this kind of early investment.

Waited for about a quarter of an hour.

Everyone is here, there are still the same number as yesterday, but the venue has changed, with a total of sixteen stages arranged below.

The protagonists of the opera have changed and become scholars participating in government examinations.

Although it is also Wubi.

But compared with yesterday, it was really like novices pecking each other.

In addition, many candidates have already been decided.

No wonder everyone is not in high spirits.

but……

Zhao Ci looked towards the high platform. Except for Zhao Yan, who was presiding over the government affairs, there were still the same three people on the high platform. Zhao Huan and Qin Wang Zhao Dezhu were sitting side by side. The Qin Wang's eldest son, Zhao Wen, was still standing behind them.

He was a little strange: "Why is Zhao Wen still on the stage? Didn't he accept the official yesterday?"

Yesterday, Kan Tianji urged him to take Kan Luotang to the Tenth Prince's Mansion for treatment, so he didn't look behind him.

"Whoa!"

Feng Kucha slapped his thigh: "All those little miscellaneous fish came to the door, but Zhao Wen didn't accept any of them."

Zhao Ci became more and more confused: "This..."

Honestly.

Although those who can get points are worse than the average level of serious government officials, they are definitely the leaders of the younger generation.

Including the recommendation list that Kan Luotang gave him before, many people took the initiative to challenge it.

If Zhao Wen doesn't want these people, where can he find young masters?

If there are no government officials under his command, how can he participate in government struggles?

Really puzzling!
He shook his head, feeling that everything about the appearance of Prince Qin and his son was strange.

And this time.

Zhao Yan also stood up: "This time, we will draw lots as in previous years. The one who wins three games first will pass the government examination, and the one who loses three games first will be eliminated. At the end of each round, the winners and losers will be drawn together. Everyone, open the government. The governor and the government officials should carefully observe and select the government officials who are most suitable to their liking."

Under the high platform, a group of martial arts scholars were gearing up.

Obviously ready for a fierce battle.

Zhao Ci was quite surprised by this schedule. It was probably similar to the Swiss round of previous e-sports competitions. It was very cruel and fair. Unless you are the kind of person who is extremely unlucky, as long as your strength is above the midline, you will usually win. pass.

This time, there were 310 six people in the government examination, and 150 eight passed.

Then forty were selected from the eight palaces, and the remaining ones stayed in Linge as minor officials.

inside the field.

Immediately, a large group of clerks in charge of drawing lots rushed in, and after an efficient draw.

Two people entered each of the sixteen arenas, and they started to fight against each other.

Say something.

Really nothing to see.

Zhao Ci only paid a little attention when his five men came on the field. He also carefully observed Zhang Dayong to see how Huangfu Song performed, but this man behaved normally.

After watching a few shows, he dozed off without interest.

Zhu Li went even further. Taking advantage of the fact that he was a hard-working and accomplished official, he actually fell asleep on his boss's back, causing Zhao Ci to fall asleep.

unconsciously.

This government event lasted from the rising sun to the setting sun.

Only then did the final 150 eight people be selected.

Then comes the selection process.

The Ninth Prince's Mansion, the Tenth Prince's Mansion, and Prince Ying's Prince's Mansion quickly selected their own people. It seemed that they were all pre-decided.

The other prefectures were fiercely contested, because only a few performed well, and these people also had the power to counter-election.

Their counter-election ideas are also very clear. They will give priority to Prince Lie's Prince's Mansion, and others will be chosen as they wish.

Just less than a quarter of an hour.

All seven houses are already full.

only...

Feng Kucha became more and more curious: "What do you think the prince of the Qin Dynasty does? He doesn't want to be an official of the wealthy family, but he doesn't want to be a civilian official? He can be a bare general and work all by himself?"

Zhao Ci also squinted his eyes, feeling more and more that there was something wrong with this person.

He turned his head and glanced twice. Zhao Yong and Zhao Xie were already a little anxious, but there were still subtitles about "The Gift of Fortune" hanging on their heads.

This……

He had some vague ideas in his mind.

The highlight of this government competition is probably not behind me!
"Have all the houses been selected?"

"Selected!"

Several people responded one after another. Zhao Wen did not respond, but he also expressed his acquiescence in silence.

Zhao Yan nodded slightly and looked at the martial arts scholars who had passed the government examination but were not selected, so they were beating their chests and feet.

He smiled lightly and said, "Don't be discouraged. There has always been a rule in government affairs. If a military scholar who fails to be selected thinks that all the government officials are ignorant and his pearl is dusted, he can choose a government. As long as he defeats all the officials, he can forcefully Squeeze in one person. Do you...do you want to challenge?"

This is also a guarantee mechanism for talent selection, because even if you pass the government examination, there is still a selection link.

It's not all about strength.

Therefore, there is still a chance for those people to fight back.

It's just that the government has held it for so long, and few people dare to exercise the right to resist killing.

Defeat all the officials...

You must know that these government officials are all geniuses from wealthy families.

Is it a dream?
No one would be so presumptuous.

So over time, this protection mechanism has become a decoration.

but……

"I!"

A thin young man raised his hands. He looked about fourteen or fifteen years old. Judging from his clothes and temperament, he was obviously a child from a poor family, but he was quite energetic.

Hey!
There was a roar on the field.

There are people who really feel good about themselves!
Zhao Ci also frowned slightly. He had some impressions of this young man. He had solid basic skills in swordsmanship, but his physical condition was a bit poor. He must have just broken through the body refining stage, and his appearance was probably that of a sixth-grade body. He was too ordinary.

In the martial arts competition just now, they barely advanced with three wins and two losses.

It was expected that no one picked him.

Where did he get the confidence to fight back?

Zhao Yan looked calm: "What's your name?"

"Ying Rui!"

The young man raised his head and said rather arrogantly.

Zhao Yan asked again: "Which government do you want to challenge? Which government official do you want to challenge first?"

Hear this.

Everyone present looked at him a little strangely.

Which government?
No matter which government he is in, this Ying Rui is destined to be beaten!

Ying Rui glanced around, fixed his gaze in the direction of Prince Lie's Mansion, and said loudly: "Prince Lie's Mansion, Tan Yu!"

Hey!
There was an uproar.

Not only did Ying Rui not pick on the weaklings, he actually went straight to the third master of Prince Lie Prince's Mansion.

It’s so bizarre!

Zhao Qian was amused and patted Tan Yu on the shoulder: "Old Tan! If someone looks down on you, go and beat him up, just to dispel the shadow of yesterday. Remember not to hit him too hard, or beat him to death! "

"Ok!"

Tan Yu was still in a state of autism, and his face did not change for the better. He just walked slowly to the stage.

With a move of his right hand, he summoned his dwarf assassin corpse puppet.

He only summoned one, but he didn't think highly of Ying Rui.

Judging from the type of corpse puppet, it seems that he wants to fight quickly.

Ying Rui was a little dissatisfied: "You have three corpse puppets, why don't you summon them all?"

"No need!"

Tan Yu felt that this person was a bit noisy.

"Fine!"

Ying Rui was also a little unhappy, but just nodded to Zhao Yan on the high platform.

"Boom!"

The moment the bronze bell rang, the dwarf zombie rushed out quickly.

The speed and the treacherous movements are beyond the reach of these martial artists.

however.

Ying Rui quickly retreated, and at the same time made a handprint and shouted loudly: "Great Yu Longyun, use my official body to drive away!"

The word "driven" was shouted out.

His handprint suddenly glowed with light, shining directly on the dwarf corpse puppet.

Then... the dwarf corpse puppet stopped all movements, was taken directly out of the martial arts stage by inertia, and fell heavily to the ground.

"what!?"

This weird technique confused everyone.

As the person involved, Tan Yu's eyes widened: "What, what's going on?"

Just for a moment, he felt that the earthy aura in the body of the dwarf corpse was suddenly sealed, completely out of his control.

This, what kind of magic is this?

Great luck?

Lend me your official status?

He hadn't had time to react yet.

The next move is coming.

"Great Yu Longyun borrowed my official body to make me sick!"

The next moment, Ying Rui turned into an afterimage and came towards him with his sword. The speed was so fast that everyone's scalp went numb.

Tan Yu gritted his teeth and immediately struck down the sword with both hands. The sword force of both hands was heavy and heavy. He knew that this man was weird, but his body was not strong. He should knock him down as soon as possible.

Unexpectedly, Ying Rui suddenly turned towards him.

He actually managed to avoid a hard-hitting move by relying on his speed.

And his long sword finally hit less than half an inch in front of Tan Yu's neck.

Tan Yu: "..."

Ying Rui smiled faintly: "You lost, you underestimated the enemy, it's so ugly!"

Tan Yu: "!!!" On the field.

The sound of surprise and doubt was overwhelming.

Everyone is numb.

"This, what speed is this?"

"This spell is so outrageous. I have practiced so many years of physical skills, but I can't even compare to him."

"What kind of spell? Why did one word destroy the corpse puppet?"

"Great Yu Longyun, lend me your official status?"

"Never heard of it!"

"Where did this person named Ying Rui come from?"

"If he is so strong, why didn't he show it just now?"

Zhao Ci frowned and turned to look at Zhao Yong and Zhao Xie. They were obviously extremely excited.

really.

This person named Ying Rui is the so-called "Yun Dynasty Gift".

The great fortune of the great Yu has come to lend me my official status.

It should be to use the national luck as a spell to bless oneself.

The effect is powerful, but it is rarely consumed.

Gan!
This thing is really powerful.

It directly promoted a scumbag who barely passed the undergraduate level to the level of Qingbei.

If this can be popularized, Dayu will definitely go to heaven!

But I don’t understand!

The previous dynasty was the Xianwu Yun Dynasty, and there must have been many people like this. How did such a powerful dynasty collapse?

On the martial arts stage.

Tan Yu was completely numb.

There was no movement on Zhao Yan's face, and he said calmly: "Tan Yu is defeated! Ying Rui, who will you challenge next?"

"Xiang Zenan!"

Ying Rui's expression became more and more arrogant.

Everyone: "..."

Did you get hard?
Xiang Zenan frowned, went up to the ring with a gun in hand, and patted Tan Yu on the shoulder to express comfort. However, Tan Yu became more autistic, jumped off the ring, and found a corner to draw circles.

Ying Rui looked at Xiang Zenan proudly: "You are not weak, but Xiang's marksmanship is still suitable for men."

"Shut your stinky mouth!"

A hint of ferocity flashed between Xiang Zenan's slender brows, and he clearly couldn't stand Ying Rui's arrogant personality.

Ying Rui shrugged, then raised his sword and waited, using short weapons against long weapons. He didn't seem to feel any pressure at all.

"Boom!"

Another burst of bells.

Ying Rui didn't make any ink marks at all, and took advantage of the effect of "Quiet Words Proverb" before it ended, and directly attacked and killed Xiang Zenan.

Xiang Zenan did not dare to underestimate the enemy at all. Although he was a little behind in speed, his marksmanship was extremely solid. With the advantage of long weapons, it was difficult for Ying Rui to get close.

Ying Rui was not in a hurry at all, he walked around quickly, waiting for the opportunity to make a move.

But I never thought that I would never find an opportunity.

On the contrary, for a moment, the speed suddenly slowed down.

"Chance!"

Xiang Zenan was immediately happy. It seemed that the effect of the weird spell had disappeared.

She suddenly twisted her body, putting all her strength on the gun barrel, and hit Ying Rui's shoulder hard.

As long as it hits, Ying Rui's right arm will be destroyed.

But Ying Rui didn't panic at all. Instead, he raised his sword and faced him.

Everyone present was shocked and used their swords to fight the hundred-jin spear. Are you crazy?

but……

"force!"

Ying Rui shouted sharply.

The next moment, the gun barrel and the long sword were clashing together.

The result was beyond everyone's expectations.

Xiang Zenan...actually flew out directly.

He hit the ground hard, and it took him three full breaths before he struggled to stand up, his arms hanging limply, and blood slowly flowing down his snow-white arms.

Just a backlash.

It actually shocked her into this state.

"hiss……"

"hiss……"

"hiss……"

There were gasps and gasps on the field.

Ying Rui smiled faintly: "I have said that Xiang's marksmanship still needs a man to use. If your strength can reach the level of the tenth prince, your end will definitely not be so miserable!"

Xiang Zenan: "!!!"

Zhao Ci: "..."

This little kid is really good at talking trash!

Ying Rui turned his head without even looking at Xiang Zenan: "Next, His Royal Highness Prince Lie, it's your turn!"

"This Bizaiji is even more aggressive!"

Zhao Qian was so angry that he cursed and rushed forward with his halberd.

But the result...

as predicted.

With the blessing of strength and speed, Ying Rui is like the God of War.

Although Zhao Qian persisted for a long time, he was eventually defeated.

This time.

Everyone present was buzzing.

What kind of monster spell is this...?

Zhao Yan asked calmly: "Ying Rui, there are still two people in Prince Lie Prince's Mansion. If you win two more games, you can replace one of them and become the official of Prince Lie Prince's Mansion. Who do you choose next?"

Ying Rui raised the corner of his mouth: "I think Crown Prince Lie's Prince's Mansion is just mediocre, and there's no point in going in. Next, I want to challenge Crown Prince Ying's Prince's Mansion Gong Shuqing!"

"what?"

"what?"

"what?"

There was an uproar on the field.

This girl is so sarcastic!
There is also Gong Shuqing, who ranks among the top five officials this year.

Crazy!
It's crazy!
"You motherfucker!"

Zhao Qian was originally defeated, but after being humiliated like this, he couldn't hold back any longer. He clenched his fists and was about to fight Ying Rui, but was forcibly stopped by officials from the Zongren Mansion.

Zhao Ci looked up and saw Lao Deng and Prince Qin, father and son, with smiles on their lips as if they were watching a show.

He completely understood that the final counterattack in the government examination was a good show arranged by these three people.

No wonder Ying Rui didn't need to use these spells at first.

It turns out that just to avoid being selected, they ruined the place one by one.

Doesn't this drive Zhao Yong and Zhao Xie crazy?
He turned around and took a look and found that the two people were so greedy that their eyes were red.

The effect of Lao Deng's operation is really good.

You can guess it with your toes. Lao Deng must have given these two people a huge cake.

The fortune will be established!

Lonely old!

Dayu’s future still needs you to be at the helm!

Who will be at the helm?
I don’t know!
Then you just fight!

By the way, the secret of Yun Dynasty is hidden in a Xiaobi Zaizhi named Ying Rui.

Let you see how amazing he is tomorrow?

You say, who can get such a rare person? Who is not the founding emperor of the New Yun Dynasty?

You two should fight quickly!
Zhao Ci even thought of Lao Deng's instructions yesterday. It was obvious that he wanted both parties to check each other's gray property. The Cao Gang, the Salt Gang, and the Five Poison Sect would all confiscate their homes and add to the treasury!

This wave of operations...

Old charlatan.

You are so good at igniting fire!
Zhao Ci raised his head and saw a line of subtitles on Lao Deng's head.

[Zhao Huan's current wish]: Let them see clearly that Gu actually wants to rebuild the Yun Dynasty.Reward for wish completion: Comprehension value +100, True Sight Talisman X1.

Zhao Ci: "..."

He felt that this wish was a bit strange, and it didn't seem to be in line with Lao Deng's mood.

But he really couldn't tell what was wrong.

The challenge continues.

As expected, Prince Ying's Prince's Mansion and Jiuwang's Mansion were inspected by Ying Rui.

Under various mottos that can help the country's destiny, no one can bear it.

so many people.

Only one man ever had a winning streak.

That is Yongzi.

Yongzi's bone forging was successful, and all the bones in his body were forged to the second level.

With a third-grade flesh and soul, and a second-grade muscle and bone, the combat power he unleashed was truly unbelievably powerful.

Although the speed and strength are still [-]% behind Ying Rui.

But his combat skills are extremely proficient, and he seems to have undergone transformation compared to the past few days, and he has actually touched the threshold of entering the palace.

With his combat skills, he was able to suppress Ying Rui for a time.

But did not expect.

Ying Rui's word "control" directly restricted Yongzi's actions, and then he won with one sword.

Arguably.

The masters from both houses were rotated.

No matter which one Ying Rui wanted to enter, he could easily enter, but this person left the weakest one for both houses. He did not achieve the achievement of clearing the level, so he did not enter either house.

then.

His eyes turned to the Ten Princes Palace.

He hooked his hand at Yang Mo: "The most incompetent among the ten princes, get out of here!"

As soon as this word comes out.

There was an uproar.

The one Ying Rui chose just now was still a master after all.

As a result, when they came to the Tenth Prince's Mansion, they chose the weakest Yang Mo.

And it was the first time he used the extremely insulting word "get out".

It's this provocative behavior.

Zhao Yan, who was the host, and even Zhao Huan, who came to the government examination, raised no objections.

Even if they react slowly, they should have thought that this Ying Rui... was arranged by Zhao Huan.

Zhao Ci: "???"

Zhu Li: "???"

Feng Kucha: "???"

The three of them looked at Yang Mo and saw that his face was so gloomy that it was about to drip.

The most horrifying thing is that deep in his eyes, in addition to anger, there is also unspeakable fear and helplessness.

This feels like.

A very ugly woman went out wearing a mask.

It's like the mask is about to be pulled off.

[Yang Mo’s current wish]: I hope that after this fight, I won’t be kicked out of the Ten Princes’ Mansion, and I won’t be defeated by my inner demons.Reward for completing the wish: Comprehension value +1000, Demon-solving Talisman X1.

Zhao Ci: "???"

broken!

Just helped Lao Mo build up some self-confidence.

Is this Bi Zaizhi named Ying here to come after me?
He held down Yang Mo's hand: "Old Mo, I'll deal with him!"

Yang Mo stood up anyway, his lips were trembling a little, but he still gritted his teeth and said: "He is challenging me, I have to face it!"

Say it.

Trembling, he walked onto the stage of martial arts.

Zhao Ci was confused: "..."

I am Nima!
I've obviously put the reckless man's talisman on it!

Why is he still shaking?
Gan!
How strong is this inner demon?

The talismans produced by the system don’t work?
at this time.

On the martial arts stage.

The two stood opposite each other.

Yang Mo's eyes were lowered, and his posture was a little rickety.

Ying Rui looked at him playfully: "In the martial arts competition a few days ago, His Royal Highness the Tenth Prince was undoubtedly the strongest in my eyes, but why did he accept a waste like you in his house?
You don’t have to be afraid. Of those spells just now, I will only use one to expel evil poison.

With just my sword skills, I will torture you just as well! "

Yang Mo: "!?!?!?"
