Cultivating Immortality, Starts with Green Plum

Chapter 54 Because You Are the Favorite of the Current Emperor

"Good news, good news! Three hundred thousand dragon and leopard cavalrymen from the Demon Suppression City have broken through the border town of the Wanxiang Demon Kingdom!"

"Three hundred thousand dragon and leopard cavalrymen killed two hundred thousand enemies! More than half of the people in the Yacheng of the Vientiane Kingdom were massacred!"

"I am Xu Xuenuo from Wu country. I have sharpened my natal flying sword Qingming and entered Guanhai. I am ranked eighth on the Qingyun list!"

"Zhou Shu! Zhou Shu! The imperial examination system has been revised! Any child! Can participate in the imperial examination!"

"No matter what kind of people you are, no matter whether you are legitimate or illegitimate, everyone can take part in the imperial examination! Only the talented will be selected!"

On the streets of Wudu, "newsboys" selling Zhou's books were running around, with proud smiles on their faces.

Whether it was a teahouse, a hotel, or even a brothel, everyone was clapping their hands and cheering!
The Wanxiang Demon Country actually dared to commit murder and assassination in Wudu, so Wudu will naturally retaliate with thundering means!

There is no overnight hatred in Wu State!
Otherwise, do you think that men from my Wu State are not brave enough?

In addition to the good news about the Demon-Suppressing City, Xu Xuenuo also made the people of the Wu Kingdom feel proud.

Qin Qingwan ranks ninth on the Rising Stars list, and Xu Xuenuo ranks eighth on the Rising Stars list!
The world's most powerful list includes both humans and demons!
In such a big world, my Wu Kingdom occupies two places in the top ten. How can we not be happy?!
Apart from the great victory in Zhenyao City and Xu Xuenuo's eighth place on the Qingyun List, these things make people want to drink a pot of wine.

What was more discussed and most closely related to himself was the reform of the imperial examination system.

The reform of the imperial examination system is definitely the greatest joy for those who have great ambitions but are not qualified to take the exam.

But for those who were already qualified to take the exam, they felt a little disappointed.

They can already foresee how many people will take part in the children's exam next year.

How great the competitive pressure is!

In the future, it will be even more difficult to pass the imperial examinations.
The reformist officials in the Wu State court were happy to drink non-stop.

Who cares about fierce competition!
Just because you can't beat others, you still think you're right, right?

In the future, the culture of Wu State will surely flourish!
Besides, it's your business, why should you bother us? We have already landed.
"Those guys from the reform faction are gathering in the brothel, but you, the leader of the reform faction, are drinking alone here?"

On the top floor of Zuihualou, a man named Su Zihong walked over carrying a pot of wine.

By the railing, Xiao Mochen, wearing an ordinary Confucian blue shirt, holding a pot of wine in his hand, leaned on the railing, watching the hustle and bustle of Wudu.

"I'm not used to going to brothels." Xiao Mochen shook his head.

Su Zihong leaned against the railing with his arms spread out, and turned his head to look at Xiao Mochi: "What do you mean you are not used to going to a brothel? You have never been to a brothel in your life!"

Xiao Mochen just smiled and didn't refute.

"You." Su Zihong sighed, "I heard she's engaged."

"." Xiao Mochen's hand holding the wine jug paused slightly and his breathing stopped for a moment.

Finally, Xiao Mochi just smiled, raised the wine pot and took a sip: "Very good."

"What a bullshit!" Su Zihong snatched Xiao Mochi's wine pot, "When you were in Bailu Academy, wasn't she proactive enough towards you? She even invited you to Qi State, what about you?!"

"Zihong." Xiao Mochi raised his head and said with a smile, "This is my country."

"Okay, okay, okay! This is your country!" Su Zihong said angrily, "Then she wants to come to Wu Kingdom with you? Why did you refuse?"

"She shouldn't have given up everything for me." Xiao Mochi stroked the wine-red dragon carving on the railing, "Besides, it's too difficult for me to have a good ending for what I did."

Xiao Mochi turned his head and raised his lips: "And Zihong, do you know why those old stubborn people in the court are so afraid of me?" Su Zihong rolled his eyes at Xiao Mochi: "Because you are a gentleman of Bailu Academy, and because you are the favorite of the current emperor."

"Not entirely." Xiao Mochen shook his head.

Xiao Mochi continued, "My sister is the current queen, my father has conquered the Northern Wilderness, and my mother has long passed away.

I live my own business, I have no wife, no children, I don't have any weaknesses, so they are afraid of me!

Because they know!

I can have no worries.

I can chew them to pieces!"

"You." Su Zihong pointed at Xiao Mochen, and his trembling index finger finally dropped, not knowing what to say.

"Forget it! I won't talk about you anymore! Ever since you were little, you have been incredibly stubborn! Damn it!"

Su Zihong cursed and spat towards the people downstairs.

The spit fell on the head of a passerby who happened to be passing by. The passerby touched his head and looked up angrily, but saw the jade belt around Su Zihong's waist and could only walk away angrily.

"Then don't say anything." Xiao Mochi smiled and took back his wine jug, and clinked it with Su Zihong's wine jug. "Today is a happy day, all good things come true."

Su Zihong turned around and leaned on the railing like Xiao Mochi did: "There is some clue about the assassination of Zhu Cici by that dead dog a few days ago."

Xiao Mochi nodded: "What do you mean?"

Su Zihong: "The four demon nations, Wanxiang Demon Nation, White Fox Demon Nation, Tianqin Demon Nation, and Wanshe Demon Nation, seem to want to summon something. This thing requires five kinds of holy bodies, and Zhu Cici's natural literary courage is one of them."

Xiao Mochi frowned and said, "What kind of thing could make the Wanxiang Demon Country risk being retaliated by the Wu and Qi countries?"

Su Zihong shook his head: "I don't know, I'm still checking."

Xiao Mochi thought for a moment and said, "You mentioned five kinds of holy bodies, what are the other four?"

Su Zihong: "The sword bone of the Xiantian Sword Bone, the heart of the Xiantian Saint Body, the eyes of the Ten Thousand Double Pupils, and the spiritual roots of the Eternal Spiritual Roots. The Ten Thousand Double Pupils are in the Northern Wilderness, and we in Wu Country have both the Xiantian Sword Bone and the Xiantian Saint Body."

Xiao Mochi looked downstairs calmly, his eyes fixed: "Write a letter to Wanjian Sect and Tianxuan Sect."

Su Zihong was speechless: "Xu Xuenuo is Jiang Luoyu's direct disciple, Qin Qingwan is Wang Xuan's direct disciple, who dares to touch them?"

Xiao Mochi exhaled: "Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of one. Where is the Eternal Spiritual Root?"

Su Zihong spread his hands and said, "The Eternal Spiritual Root has not appeared for ten thousand years. But for something like summoning, since it is the other party's sacrifice, it must have existed. It is impossible for it to come out of nothing. It's just that the Eternal Spiritual Root has not been discovered yet."

"Yeah." Xiao Mochen nodded.

"There is one more thing." Su Zihong said.

"Can't you just say it all in one breath?" Xiao Mochen said speechlessly.

"This matter is over now."

Su Zihong moved closer to Xiao Mochen, and they looked at the streets of Wudu together, his voice lowered.

"There is news from Tianji City. One hundred and fifty years ago, two of the descendants of the fifth prince, King Shan, were still alive in Wu State."
