The Prime Minister's Wife

Chapter 696 The Snake King Appears (2)
Nowadays, when we get together to talk about the past and the present, it is inevitable that we have to discuss each other. Over the past few days, splendid articles, poems and Fu have emerged one after another, setting off several upsurges, and naturally many romantic figures have appeared.

It's just that no one knew that a pair of deep and charming eyes were watching them on the big phoenix ship, so they naturally didn't know that their words and deeds had been gradually recorded in the files.

On this day, all the talents on the big ship gathered together to discuss, nothing more than reciting poems and prose, fighting couplets, answering words, serving wine orders, guessing riddles, discussing Lao Zhuang's Taoism and Confucius' Confucianism.

One of them suddenly stood up and said, "Everyone, in Xiaxiazhi, it's really boring to watch you play these memorized content every day. Why don't you play something else, something new."

As soon as the words were finished, a handsome man in a blue Confucian uniform with a kind smile on his lips said, sitting under the window sill, "Others, new ones, I don't know what Mr. Xia is referring to? I can't help but say it." , let everyone try it too."

After all, all the people on board are scholars, and they have a sense of arrogance to read books. After hearing the news, other people also asked Mr. Xia to tell other new things in the name of asking for advice.

Xia Gongzi flicked his robes, sat down and said: "It is said that this year's exam questions are all given by the crown prince. Let's guess what kind of exam questions the crown prince will ask. After all, the gaze of a woman is the same as that of a man. There is a considerable difference.”

After finishing speaking, Mr. Xia looked at the people present provocatively.

Hearing this, the people present could not help but take a deep breath. Hearing his tone, there was no way he was trying to guess that the Empress Dowager would come up with a question.

What is the difference between a woman's gaze and a man's gaze? It is clear that she wants to discuss whether the empress dowager, the body of a daughter, the heart of a daughter, is capable of being emperor.

The man in cyan Confucian uniform said: "In Gu Qi of Xialan City, it is said that Princess Jinghua has been with His Majesty Jingdi since she was ten years old, and Fengxing must have been deeply shocked by His Majesty Jingdi's imperial style. Influenced by it, I feel that Her Royal Highness, the Empress Dowager, should have the same topic as at the Hundred Flowers Selection Gala in Dazhen Guancheng."

"It's a joke to use case investigation as an examination question." A young man surnamed Chen immediately sneered.

I just heard Mr. Chen explain with a smile that was not a smile: "The Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple don't need that many people, and most of the talents selected by the imperial examination this time will be sent to the area that was conquered not long ago. It should be a question about the customs and customs of various places."

The son surnamed Gao immediately echoed: "That's the reason. Your Majesty will rule the world and the country will expand greatly. Naturally, a large number of officials will be required to take up positions in the localities. At that time, the personnel from the south will be transferred to the north, and the talents from the north will be transferred to the south." , it’s not impossible. It’s just that in this way, many people will be defeated in the exam!”

Mr. Gao's words made all the people present silent. Don't let them guess the title of this year's imperial examination, otherwise it will really be a waste of more than ten years of hard study.

After a while, a son said angrily: "Princess Jinghua is also true. Since ancient times, the harem has not been allowed to participate in politics. It is shameful for her to come out to show her face without embroidering flowers and playing the piano in the harem."

Hearing the words, the people next to him immediately sneered and said with a sneer: "What's the matter with the woman? If you have the ability, you can use a cup of clear tea to subdue a general of soldiers and horses, and if you have the ability, let the emperor give up a piece of land. You are terribly afraid of even an imperial examination, and you still have the face to look down on Princess Jinghua."

The young man was refuted by others, his face flushed immediately, and he stammered: "How can we, a man of seven feet, submit to a woman."

When Mr. Xia heard this, he immediately laughed and said, "If that's the case, you don't have to take the imperial examinations. It is inevitable for Her Royal Highness the Empress Dowager to become emperor. Since you don't want to succumb to a woman, you might as well go home now. Don't waste any more time." The young man's face turned even redder.

Gu Qi also answered: "Her Royal Highness's shocking strategy is well known in the world, and you are not afraid of throwing all our men's stomachs by saying this."

A young man with a stubborn face and a silent face next to him said disapprovingly: "Women and men are not important to me at all, because I only submit to the strong.".

"There's nothing wrong with the emperor's daughter becoming the emperor, but now that the emperor's daughter is the empress of Dazhen, will China's country also fall into the hands of Emperor Jing in the future." The man standing next to him asked worriedly.

Mr. Gao said disapprovingly: "Regarding this point, I personally think that it is enough to be a minister and fulfill the responsibilities of a minister. As for who will own the country in the future, it is not in my position at all."

The two spoke one after the other, and others also spoke one after another. There were different opinions on Princess Jinghua's proclaiming the emperor. Naturally, some people spread the rumors to Phoenix Ship.

snort!Qing Meng snorted coldly and said, "Mother, these people dare to comment on Her Highness the Empress Dowager, it's too much. I'll ask Mo Xinghan to teach them a lesson secretly."

The owner of the phoenix ship is none other than the empress and empress of China, the responsible patriarch of the Bo clan——Bo Yan.

After Bo Yan heard Qing Meng's words, her bright red lips curled up slightly, but she said calmly: "Qing'er, if she can't even bear this comment, she is not worthy to be the head of the Bo family in the future, it's better It is to give up the position of the crown prince, so as not to make people laugh at me."

Qing Meng covered her lips, and said with a soft smile: "Your Majesty is always like this. She clearly knows that Her Highness the Princess is very good, so she insists on saying this." With a hard mouth and a soft heart, it is false to protect these people, and she clearly wants to come out early to welcome the Princess.

"It's just your poor mouth." Bo Yan was exposed to the lie, and he reprimanded it in a concealed manner, Qing Meng smiled and didn't take it seriously.

At this moment, the Phoenix ship suddenly shook violently, and there were bursts of screams, screams, and the sound of people falling into the water from the fellow ship.

After Bo Yan regained his senses, he immediately walked out of Luru, and saw a sudden wave of waves on the surface of the river. The highest wave was several feet high. As if coming out, his eyes could not help but lock the water tightly.

"Niang Niang, why did this happen suddenly." Qing Meng followed behind and asked worriedly.

"Go and tell General Luo to launch the first-level challenge plan, and everything is to protect these candidates." Bo Yan stared at the water and said calmly.

In the canal of the Dazhen Emperor Dynasty, there was a water beast. She also heard Fan Fengliu mention it. Seeing the situation in front of her, she immediately thought of the water beast-Ba Snake.

Qing Meng was stunned for a moment, and immediately ran to deliver a message.

Bo Yan also walked back into the boat at this time, and when he came out again, he had already changed into a light outfit, with a long sword in his hand, and a dignified expression.

On the other big ships, most of the people were in a mess, but a few people remained calm, and some even pulled out their swords and ran to the front deck of the big ship.

Just when everyone's eyes were focused on the river, two people quietly ran to the top of the big boat.

It was Mr. Xia and Mr. Gu just now. They looked at each other, and then looked at the highest point of the Phoenix ship, staring quietly at the terrace. That noble figure slowly drew out the sword hidden at his waist .

The wind and waves are getting higher and higher, and the sword in Bo Yan's hand is getting tighter and tighter. It seems that things in the water will attack any big ship at any time.

Originally thought that the members of the Qiu family would only use human power to assassinate these talents who participated in the imperial examinations, but they did not expect to set up an ambush in the waters of Qingcheng and use water animals to achieve their goals.

"Your Majesty, this is..."

After Qing Meng notified Luo Qifeng, when she came back, she saw Bao Yan dressed in light clothes, and she couldn't help being shocked.

He hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Madam, let General Luo and the others deal with these matters, why do you need to do it yourself?" In case something happens, how will she explain to His Majesty and His Highness.

"To shut up."

Bo Yan said coldly: "Back to the side."

Their eyes were fixed on the water, how could Luo Qifeng and the others be able to deal with such a huge beast as Ba Snake.

Qing Meng was yelled at by Bao Yan, she quickly covered her mouth and kept quiet, knowing her master's temper well, she obediently stood not far from Bao Yan, carefully and nervously paying attention to the master's situation.

boom……

Suddenly there was a loud noise, as a huge object rushed out of the water. After the water splashed, a huge snake head and a section of snake body emerged from the water.

Everyone saw a body as thick as a big ship in front of them, and they were all shocked, staring blankly at the snake head full of gloomy aura.

At this moment, they forgot to scream, forgot to escape, even forgot to breathe and heartbeat, just stared straight at the thing on the water, motionless.

Bo Yan was also startled when he saw the huge snake head. After recovering, he immediately noticed that horns had grown from the snake's head, which seemed to have reached the stage of legend.

Just between the two corners of the snake's head, there stood a figure belonging to a woman. Her face was masked so that people could not see her face, but her gaze was particularly serious.

At the same time, the other party seemed to have noticed Bo Yan, and his eyes instantly became extremely dark.

Ba Snake seemed to have noticed its master's emotions, and its giant green eyes were also fixed on Bo Yan, spitting out long snake letters from time to time, making a hissing sound, which seemed to be a reminder before the attack.

Bo Yan held a long sword in his hand with a sword flower, stared coldly at the person on the snake's head, and said coldly: "It turned out to be you, I didn't expect you to dare to come again, don't think that if there is an extra beast, I will kill you." afraid of you."

Suddenly, the long sword in his hand was raised towards the sky, and a beam of sword light soared into the sky, until it reached a height of tens of feet, Ba Snake immediately made a hissing sound, as if he was very disdainful.

The same is true for the people on the snake's head, who have been staring at Bo Yan coldly, and a cold smile suddenly flashed in their eyes, as if they already had the chance to win, and they didn't bother to deal with it.

snort!Bo Yan snorted coldly, and slashed forward with the long sword in his hand. The target was not the snake's head, nor the person on the snake's head, but the body of Shuiba snake.

The powerful sword gang directly cut a deep ditch on the water surface, pointing at the seven inches of Ba She's body that was already exposed in sight.

Ba She seemed to sense Bo Yan's intentions, and immediately swayed in the water. A large amount of water flowed in front of her body, blocking most of the sword gang, and the rest of the sword gang just left traces on the surface.

However, this sword is shocking enough.

Seeing this scene, the person on the snake's head immediately made a triumphant sound, and Bo Yan's face sank.

At this moment, a slightly hoarse and evil voice sounded: "So this is the Snake King of Ba Snake. It's really good. It's a pity to kill it. It's better to keep it for yourself."

Hearing the sound, the man on the snake's head stared at a gigantic ship in the distance, which was also prowed by a golden phoenix. His eyes were full of predation, and the cold inside made people feel chilly.

I saw her staring at a certain place quietly, with a sly smile in her eyes, she suddenly opened her arms and made a strange gesture, the Snake King immediately submerged in the water, and swam towards the distant Phoenix ship. meaning.

After seeing the strange behavior of the Snake King, Bo Yan was startled immediately. Knowing the other party's intentions, Ma shouted loudly: "Qing'er, the Snake King is going in your direction." He didn't notice that the two figures were coming from Approached quietly from behind.
