44. The Three Heavenly Kings (Please Read On)

"Okay..."

Xu Xing did not refuse and smiled as he accepted Wu Huaiyuan's offer.

Money can make the gods go crazy.

Who would believe that Zhou Ying could save such a huge fortune without secretly connecting with high-ranking officials?

Having money but no power is just a fat pig waiting to be slaughtered.

The Wu family is rich and well-connected, and it is not easy for Xu Xing to offend them now.

In addition, according to the inn's customs, if he won the first place in the prefectural examination, it would be a common thing to exempt him from food and lodging expenses.

It's no big deal.

The inns have been doing this for many years.

It's just that Wu Huaiyuan is more generous now, and he directly exempted him from the expenses of entertaining guests.

"I heard that Xu Anshou was born in Jingyang County..."

"Coincidentally, my Wu family is also from Jingyang, and we are all from the same hometown."

Wu Huaiyuan took a seat and took the initiative to establish a relationship with Xu Xing.

Being from Jingyang County, the two of them were naturally more involved. This is why Wu Huaiyuan took the initiative to establish a relationship with Xu Xing. It is common to see a governor, but there are fewer governors from Jingyang County.

"Xu Anshou has something to talk about with his friends..."

"I am sorry to interrupt you..."

After briefly associating with him, Wu Huaiyuan stood up and said goodbye to Xu Xing.

After he left the private room, he whispered to the old shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper Lu, add a few more dishes to Xu Anshou and change the room to Tianzi Room."

He noticed that Wu Huaiyuan had gone far away.

Chen Jianan shook his head and said: "This young master Wu, I wanted to talk to him for a few more words, but he kept his eyes on you, Brother Xu, and only said a few perfunctory words to me.

Dragons do not live with snakes, and tigers do not walk with dogs.

He said this not to complain that Wu Huaiyuan did not give him face. He was complaining about himself. If he was the governor today, how could he be easily looked down upon.

"Governor?"

"It is also difficult to have a relationship with the Wu family. "

Seeing this, Xu Xing comforted Chen Jianan.

Not to mention the first place in the prefecture exam, even the first place in the academy exam, the first-class stipend student, is not enough in front of the Wu family. Not to mention the future of the Wu family, the current Wu family alone is not something that ordinary people can reach.

...

Not only the classmates in the academy are concerned about Xu Xing's prefecture exam results.

The same is true for Xiaoyi Hall.

"First place in the prefecture exam?"

"Did he...really make it?"

After Master Ma learned about Xu Xing's results from his subordinates, his expression was a little complicated.

He sighed, "In just one year, from a commoner...to a scholar? And his internal skills are not bad, how did he do it?"

Of course, he knew that Xu Xing was a seed of reading who "never forgets what he sees".

But he witnessed Xu Xing's journey from a servant who led the horse stirrups for the Xiaoyi Hall brothers to where he is today. He thought about it and still couldn't let it go.

"Brother Hai, you usually have the most contact with Xu Xing."

"What kind of person is he? "

Master Ma sent someone to call Haige and asked.

Before joining Xiaoyi Hall and becoming Pao brothers, Xu Xing and Haige were the closest. The two were close in age, not much different, and were playmates.

"He does things in a literary way..."

"I applied medicine to him, and he bowed to me and thanked me."

Haige was innocent, and without thinking much, he told Master Ma everything about Xu Xing's time with him last year.

As for the more distant "Xu Xing", he couldn't remember it clearly.

"Literary?"

Master Ma frowned, "It seems that when he was a servant, he secretly read books and learned to write. No wonder... after entering Weijing Academy, he grew up so fast."

He automatically imagined Xu Xing's experience.

After being rescued by Xiaoyi Hall in the 15th year of Guangxu, he has been studying hard...

"You go down first. "

Master Ma waved his hand and asked Brother Hai to leave.

As a father and son, Brother Hai could not lie to him. When Xu Xing was in Xiaoyi Hall, he had "knowing etiquette". After running to Weijing Academy to enroll, although he rose too fast, I think he also had the foundation laid in his early years...

"Promised him and gave him a chance..."

"It's time to find Taoist Liu."

He thought to himself.

The first place in the government is the predetermined title of scholar.

He also understands this.

...

...

Real world.

The 21st year of Chongming.

Fengxi Country.

West Jiangnan Road.

A side room in Siming Mountain.

"Lord Xu..."

"No matter how busy the Daotian King is, he can't leave us alone for three days and three nights. "

Chang Ji rushed into the door, found a chair, and complained to himself: "Let's talk about our status. You are the eighth-rank stable official, and I am the fifth-rank Dingyuan General. I have come all the way to Siming Mountain... I heard that King Daotian has a great reputation, but who knows that he is also a narrow-minded person. "

"I am afraid that our powerful dragon will suppress him, a local snake!"

He slapped the coffee table with a face full of resentment.

After going south from Caohe, after two and a half days, he, Xu Xing, and King Kuntian and his party finally arrived at Siming Mountain in the west road of Jiangnan.

But after arriving at Siming Mountain, he and Xu Xing did not get an audience or attention from King Daotian, and they did not even meet King Daotian Yao Dang. They were driven to the side room by King Weitian with a light word.

There was no gesture of thirst for talent.

"King Daotian is not... a short-sighted person. "

"If Siming Mountain wants to grow stronger, it can rely on a group of heroes in the early stage, but in the long run, if we rebel officials are not accepted..., it's hard to say..."

Xu Xing withdrew his gaze from the ancient bronze mirror in his mind, poured a pot of tea, poured a cup for him and Chang Ji respectively, and said slowly.

[Mirror owner: Xu Xing]

[Path Fruit: Righteous Thief (Red), Martial Arts Wizard (Bright Yellow), Wenchang (Red), Weixin (Red), and Knowledgeable Knowledge (White). 】

【……】

[Fate: None. 】

After consciousness returns to the real world.

He first used [Dao Fruit] to solidify the red destiny [Reform] and [Wenchang].

After solidifying the destiny of [Reform], he was not idle. He first paid attention to the bad governance of Siming Mountain, and then after careful consideration, he wrote several letters to reform the bad policies of Siming Mountain, and asked King Kun to hand them over to the mourners. King Yao Dang….

If nothing else, Mourning King Yao Dang has already read these letters.

The reason why he and Changji haven't come to see him yet... According to his guess, it must be that it is difficult to arrange positions for him and Changji, so he has been keeping them in the dark.

Chang Ji came to see him at this time and complained loudly. This was an alternative way of forcing the king of mourning to marry him.

…

In Juyi Hall.

There are three chairs placed side by side on the main seat.

The three heavenly kings took their seats respectively.

Among them, the person who takes the top spot is Yao Dang, the king of mourning.

He was in his forties, dressed in luxurious purple clothes, and looked no different from an ordinary member of the staff. But what is worth noting is his face, which is square and upright.

"Did he really say that?"

After hearing the report from his subordinates, Yao Dang frowned slightly, "What he said is indeed true. If Siming Mountain wants to develop, it will be difficult to achieve it with just some green forest heroes. Since ancient times, people from the Jianghu have never been seen to overthrow the imperial court... ,only……"

He felt troubled.

If King Kun Tian had not befriended Xu Xing, it would be extremely suitable for him to arrange for Xu Xing to be the military advisor of Siming Mountain. He also read Xu Xing's letters, every word of which was full of insight and insight.

But it happened that King Kun and Xu Xing paid homage.

By letting Xu Xinglai sit in the fourth position, he was afraid that he would be ignored by Xu Xing.

"Brother, why are you hesitating?"

King Kuntian on the left immediately shouted, "I personally saved the fourth brother. I know his talent. With the fourth brother here, Simingshan will be able to overthrow the imperial court sooner or later and avenge the blood of my elder brother!"
