Raising the Demon

Chapter 199
The carriage was walking on the stone road paved with bluestone, and the horseshoes hit the ground, making a crisp clacking sound.

The carriage pulled by four strong horses stood out on the wharf where people came and went, and those people would avoid it automatically if no one was required to clear the way.

In the carriage, Luo Qianshan finally let go of the Fujun's hand that he was holding tightly, but still looked around the Fujun foolishly.

After a few months, Fu Jun is paler and fatter than before. It seems that the life here is more leisurely than that in the remote and desolate Mengcheng.

Fujun didn't wear official uniform, he looked like an ordinary scribe, a gentleman, gentle as jade.

The edge in Mengcheng was carefully restrained by the Fujun, hiding under a gentle smile.

A young man who was as vigorous as a little leopard was sitting on the driver's seat and driving the carriage, and the middle-aged man who accompanied Luo Qianshan on the road sat on the other side. Both of them looked around vigilantly, without saying a word, as if At any time, someone may be unfavorable to the Fujun.

This made Luo Qianshan a little ashamed. When he was the guard of the Fujun, he was not so serious.

"Xijing is no better than Mengcheng. Although I am a child of the Wang clan, the Wang clan can't cover the sky with one hand in Xijing. It's an eventful time now, so it's better to be careful." Looking at Luo Qianshan thoughtfully, the Fujun explained with a smile.

"My lord..."

"Call me adoptive father." Fujun said, not to mention that he is no longer Fujun, but the status between him and Luo Qianshan has already been settled, even if this silly boy doesn't want to be himself He is the descendant, but he is his adopted son, and the Wang family will pay enough attention to him.

"Your stepmother has already prepared food and drinks at home. The day before yesterday, I received a letter from Fei Ge, saying that if you can arrive today, your stepmother is looking forward to the stars and the moon, and now you are looking forward to it. My nephews, Several of your righteous brothers are also with me now, saying that they want to meet the heroes from the southeast, they are all very good young men, how close you are to them."

Holding Luo Qianshan's hand, the lord urged him earnestly, as if his father was telling his son.

For Zi Baifeng and Luo Qianshan, the Lord of Fu really regards them as his nephews. For their first appearance in Xijing, the Lord of Fu felt obliged to arrange for them, even if it was just a simple welcome. Yes, he must also be perfect.

"What are your plans? What do you want to do? Do you have any ideas?" Fujun asked again.

"I don't have any ideas for the time being, I think...wait for a while." Luo Qianshan came to Xijing, met the Fujun, but thought of Zi Baifeng again, he always felt that he came to Xijing alone, I am sorry for Zi Bai wind.

As the saying goes, knowing a son is like a father, Fu Jun really knows Luo Qianshan too well, Fu Jun nodded and said: "Alright, I guess it will be difficult to leave Xijing in the future, if you two brothers want to go out and make a living, why don't you go out together?" It's better to be a companion, this Xijing, although prosperous, is too boring, boring, boring."

Backed by the big tree of the Wang Family, the Fujun felt that being in Xijing was not as satisfying as being in Mengcheng.

However, he was able to let himself go outside when he was young, and now when the family needs it, he must take responsibility.

Seeing that Luo Qianshan was a little nervous, Fujun smiled, stretched out his hand, and stroked Luo Qianshan's short, steel needle-like hair.Coming to a strange place, even a capable soldier like Luo Qianshan would feel a little confused.

Being treated like this by Fujun, Luo Qianshan was a little embarrassed, but fortunately Fujun let go of him very quickly, but the love and care were fully revealed.

The carriage went all the way, but the speed did not pick up. Luo Qianshan looked out the window, widened his eyes, and said, "Why are there so many people?"

The Fujun has been busy for the past few days, and he hardly went out of the house. Even when he went out, he was sleeping in the carriage, and he was puzzled: "What's going on?"

"Report to my lord." The young man who was like a little leopard as a royal replied: "Today is the day when the results of the Xijing Township Examination are released. Not far ahead is the Gong Yuan. These scholars are waiting here to read the results."

"The township examination..." Fujun was a little emotional.

"It's good that Bai Feng is here, he likes exams the most." Luo Qianshan said with a smile.

Fujun smiled, but did not speak.Although he is in Xijing, his news is much better than that of Luo Qianshan who is on the road. The current Zi Baifeng has been away for a long time and has disappeared. Where.He was worried that Zi Baifeng would be a dead end, but he didn't dare to tell Luo Qianshan, otherwise this guy might run back to Mengcheng and make a big fuss.

Walking forward, there were more and more people. A few followers who had been hiding in the crowd came out and opened the way ahead, but the speed of the carriage was getting slower and slower.

There were more and more people in front of him, and the steward complained, "Your subordinate should make a detour."

"It's okay, it's almost noon now, and the rankings will be published soon." Fujun said.

After the list is released, these people will disperse.

He turned his head and explained to Luo Qianshan: "There are many adults in Xijing, and many officials are needed, and the officials are of high grade. However, if there is no backer in Xijing, it is difficult to get promoted. Children from non-big families have been officials in Xijing for a few years. , Most of them will seek to go out to work. Therefore, if you pass the provincial examination here in Xijing, it is easy to find a vacant position. It has always been known as a small test, and this can be regarded as a shortcut to rise."

Luo Qianshan was not too curious about this, he only knew a few words in Dou Da, and it was too far away to think about it, and besides, with the Fujun here, he didn't have to worry about his future future.

After driving for a while, I heard a sound in front of me.

"I'm afraid the list will be released." The Fu Jun smiled and said, "I think that when I took the Xijing Township Examination, I was also ranked seventh in the provincial examination."

"Seventh..." Luo Qianshan was attracted by the big list hanging in front of him. He looked at the window, and the crowds outside the window made him unable to see clearly. Here, I don’t know what ranking I will get, will I get No.1?”

The Fujun who was quite complacent at first, but still immersed in the memory, suddenly couldn't laugh or cry, this silly boy, he didn't even know how to compliment him, well, what I like is this kind of personality that is called straightforward when it sounds good, and stupid when it is ugly ?
"First, it's too difficult. There are more than [-] candidates in each Xijing Township Examination. In addition, there are many cheaters among them. There are countless people who have cheated or missed questions. Every year, several heads will be chopped off. Can't stop this trend... To be the first in the exam, besides strength, you also need power..." This is not Mengcheng, the number one in Mengcheng, but it is nothing if you get it here.

"I can't see it, I'll go up and have a look!" Luo Qianshan turned over and went straight out of the window, and got on the roof of the carriage.

Both the imperial master and the middle-aged man turned their heads and looked at Luo Qianshan with strange eyes. Is this guy a monkey from the mountain?
The Fujun couldn't help but smile, this Qianshan is still so vigorous and resolute.It's just that this kind of rough style made Fujun feel an unspeakable kindness. In Xijing, where everything is well-behaved and full of depression, suddenly there is a touch of bright color.

The carriage had come to a complete stop at this time, the crowds were crowded around, even a few followers could not stop the turbulent flow of people, the steward and the middle-aged man were busy calming down the horses, Luo Qianshan set up an awning and stood on tiptoe , the list is finally clearly visible.

Suddenly felt that someone grabbed his ankle, Luo Qianshan looked down, a scholar saw Luo Qianshan climbed into the carriage, and wanted to climb up too.

"Go down!" Luo Qianshan kicked him down.

"Brother, don't be so heartless, let me go up and have a look, I'll give you ten taels of silver." The scholar shouted.

"You can climb this carriage?" Luo Qianshan dismissed it.

"Twenty taels of silver!" The scholar waved the white silver in his hand.

"It's just your narrow eyes, you're nearsighted, can you see it? Well then, give me the silver, and I'll help you see it!" Luo Qianshan stretched out his hand, "What's your name?"

The scholar was also unambiguous, he seemed to be a master who was not short of money, he threw up the silver in his hand, Luo Qianshan reached out to catch it, shook it, wiped it on the lapel of his clothes, put it in his mouth and took a bite , real gold and silver, this taste, this taste, nothing to say, he quickly put the silver into his arms happily, he is a poor man.

Those subordinates stared dumbfounded at Luo Qianshan's hopeless appearance. They would never have imagined that the VIP Mr. Wang needed to pick up in person was such a money fan.

The Fujun laughed up and down in the carriage, he hadn't been this happy for a long time, he waved his hand to signal the subordinates to ignore it, Luo Qianshan can just play if he likes.

"Brother, my name is An Zijing, An Zijing, I respect myself and respect myself." The scholar called from below.

"An Zijing... Let me take a look... Let me take a look..." Luo Qianshan watched intently. No matter what he said, he could be regarded as a person who had stepped into the threshold of cultivation, and he was a martial artist, so there was nothing to use his eyes. As the saying goes, if you use your eyes for a thousand days, you can see clearly at this time. Scanning all the way, you can see it at the seventh bottom place.

"It's not that good..." Luo Qianshan said, when he said this, the man's face immediately collapsed, who would have thought that Luo Qianshan said again: "I just passed the bottom seven in the exam, and the bottom seven among so many people is too weak Alright, or I'll pay you back half of the silver?"

Luo Qianshan is an honest person, and he feels that he has the responsibility and obligation to comfort others.

Who would have thought that the scholar below was so excited that he jumped up: "Brother, did you read that right? Is it really the seventh from last?"

"Of course I'm not mistaken, An Zijing, I still know these three characters, even if they have the same name." Luo Qianshan patted his chest to assure that he was also the target of Zi Baifeng's focus on literacy at the beginning. Fei Jian, he also learned a lot, at least he can recognize thousands of characters, although he may not understand what it means to put them together.

"No, no, I won! I won!" An Zijing yelled, and ran away like a madman.
