The concubine is poisonous

Chapter 206 The Lost Glory

Now that she has figured out where Ye Junyan might appear, Gu Xinning is even more reluctant to rest.She sent the servant girl away, wanting her to go back first, but the servant girl was unwilling to leave. After all, it was her duty to serve the empress. What's more, if she let the empress do nothing because of her negligence, then she would die Ten times is not enough to repay her fault, so the maid endured her sleepiness and exhaustion, and was unwilling to leave alone.

At this time, several generals who stayed in the camp also noticed that Gu Xinning was going out alone, so they also came over with concern.

Gu Xinning had no choice but to tell everyone what she was thinking.Most of the people looked at the status symbols of Nanjiang passed around in their hands, and most of them couldn't believe it.Their dealings with Southern Xinjiang are fights on the battlefield, so how could they notice these little things.It's like Zhang Fei piercing the eye of a needle, a rough man.

But Gu Xinning lived in southern Xinjiang, so she naturally believed in her own judgment, so she ignored everyone and insisted on going in the direction she assumed to find out. In desperation, several generals had no choice but to hold up the torches and call The soldiers, who were sleepy, began to advance along the path Gu Xinning had thought. The light of the torches pierced through the darkness of dawn, and danced in the night like a fire dragon.

At the end of the fire dragon is Gu Xinning and the maidservant following closely behind.They have been walking forward according to the pace they walked.Suddenly the few in front stopped, and passed the message back, saying that they really found a hut built there, but the hut had no light and was dead silent.Probably no one.However, those who saw it found that there was not only one hut but a row.It's just that it's just before dawn that it appears indistinctly in front of my eyes, which causes embarrassment.

The maid asked: "Your Majesty, do you want to go and see if anyone is there?"

Gu Xinning hesitated for a while, "Wait for dawn! Even if someone is falling asleep right now, since you've arrived here, don't be afraid to wait any longer. Everyone is tired all day, so let's rest here!"

The maid conveyed Gu Xinning's meaning, and the accompanying soldiers collapsed on the ground again. This time they didn't set up a tent again, but fell directly on the ground and fell asleep.

Speaking of which, climbing mountains and wading down this day was really difficult for them. Gu Xinning rode horses when they were on flat ground, but they walked from start to finish.What's more, Gu Xinning still has superb martial arts, but they are just ordinary soldiers, so naturally they cannot be compared with Gu Xinning.

Soon the next day came, the sky was bright, and Gu Xinning almost stayed up all night, waiting for the dawn. After dawn, Gu Xinning sent someone to knock on the doors of this row of houses, hoping to find out about Ye Junyan's whereabouts. However, there are only two or three households living in this row of houses, and most of the others are empty rooms. According to the people who live here, this room has been empty for a long time, and it was built by former hunters. However, some Many hunters have already left, and now there are only two or three of them in the vicinity, and the hunters are still there.

When Gu Xinning asked if they had ever seen a man and a woman wandering in the deep mountains, several families, after thinking about it, said that they had never seen a man and a woman walking in the mountains.

Gu Xinning was already full of hope, but at this moment she suddenly fell from the top of hope to the abyss of disappointment again. She couldn't help but feel a little sad. Seeing this, the generals around her hurried forward to comfort her: "Your Majesty, I believe that in order to avoid being chased and killed, Gu Xinning We must escape to a deeper place, we are looking inside, I believe we can always find it."

Gu Xinning sighed quietly and said, "That's the only way to go, go into the mountains and continue looking!"

So everyone continued to open the way to the depths of the mountain, and continued to search for Ye Junyan's whereabouts.

At this time, Ran Hai has also arrived in Liuli Kingdom.

At this time, when Zhiliu Liguo's big exam was taking place, candidates from all over the country flocked here, looking forward to the possibility of becoming famous all over the world in one fell swoop without being asked by anyone in the ten-year cold window.

Compared with Zhaoxuan State's imperial examination system, Liuli State's examination has many similarities. Its system evolved from Zhaoxuan State's imperial examination system. There is a provincial examination every year and a large examination every three years.The subjects of the exam are basically from some classic works, the students ask questions, let the students make a dialectical argument, and finally the examinee's answer sheet is used as the final evaluation basis.

The chief examiner in charge of the imperial examination selection of the Liuli Kingdom this year is the prime minister of the Liuli Kingdom, Feng Xiangru, Master Feng. The Liuli Kingdom attaches more importance to his selection than the Zhaoxuan Kingdom. Important ministers, in addition to this, also need a very high reputation, and only people with excellent reputation can take responsibility.

Feng Xiangru was able to be the chief examiner for this selection, not only because he was the elder of the two dynasties of the Liuli Kingdom, and had a high position and authority, but also because he was a good official who worked for the people in the eyes of the people of the Liuli Kingdom. People's policies, and many other court policies, were implemented under the supervision of Feng Xiangru, and they were passed down from top to bottom without going astray. Unlike other countries, some good policies were issued by the top, but they were pocketed by some people below. Selfishness betrayed the interests of the country and the people, and messed up the originally good policies, resulting in complaints.

It can be said that Feng Xiangru is responsible for at least half of Liuli Kingdom's ability to achieve today's glory and stability in the past few decades.

Therefore, regardless of status and reputation, Feng Xiangru is the best candidate to be the chief examiner.

At this time, Feng Xiangru's mansion was surrounded by students taking the exam. Almost all the candidates from all over the country hoped to see the chief examiner.

Feng Xiangru returned to the mansion in the next court, and as soon as he walked to the door, he saw Dabo's students standing at the door, enclosing his mansion tightly, and couldn't help frowning, although Feng Xiangru knew that many students were just out of admiration for him , I just wanted to take the opportunity to meet myself, but as the chief examiner, I feel unfair. Whether it is before or after the exam, before the results are released, it is inconvenient for me to meet these people.
Thinking of this, Feng Xiangru whispered a few words to the subordinates around him. The subordinates nodded after listening, and took a few people to persuade these people to leave. A path was found, allowing Feng Xiangru to enter the mansion smoothly.

After the candidates receded with the crowd, there was a man in a long gray coat at the restaurant at the end of the wide and narrow alley. While taking a sip from the wine glass on the table, he looked at Feng Xiangru's mansion and showed a meaningful smile.

The scene just now, to him, seemed to have a sense of familiarity. When he was proud of his spring and his power was at the height of his power, he had been so beautiful. There was a long queue like a dragon in front of the door, just to see himself. , send yourself a well-chosen gift.It's just that thinking about it at this moment, the past is unbearable. If it wasn't for someone destroying his well-planned plan, why would he end up like this.

Thinking of this, the man couldn't help sneering bitterly, picked up the wine glass on the table again, drank it down, and when he finished drinking the wine in the glass, the man couldn't help but let out another long sigh.

"Guest officer, do you still want to see tea?" Xiao Er came over with a teapot and asked him.

He waved his old, almost skinny hand to signal that he didn't need it, then took out a silver coin from his pocket and put it on the table, saying, "No need to look for it!" Then he stood up and went down the restaurant, After going out, he walked straight towards Feng Xiangru's mansion.

The servant guarding the gate of the mansion saw someone coming and wanted to enter the mansion, stepped forward to block his whereabouts and asked: "Who are you? This is the mansion of the Prime Minister, idlers, etc., don't come near! Go!" As he said that, he was about to drive him away!

"Little brother, I'm just here to find your prime minister. I need to discuss something urgent. Please let me know!" The aura of speaking and speaking seemed to reveal a sense of oppression that was not angry and self-imposing from the bottom of his bones, emanating from the whole body of this person.

Under this pressure, the janitor could not help swallowing his saliva, but when he looked at the other party again, he was wearing a coarse gray gown, and he didn't look like a person with background. I'm afraid he was putting on a pose to scare himself, so he still The one who didn't buy it said: "That's how you are. Still want to talk to our Xiangye? Is there an urgent matter to discuss? Don't care about your own identity, hurry up, or I'll find someone to beat you away!" The servant said impatiently .

However, the other party did not flinch, instead he took out something from his hand, held it up to the gatekeeper and said, "Brother, please show this to your Xiangye, and he will naturally invite me in. If he has seen it, If you still don’t see me, the old man will leave immediately and won’t bother my brother!”

The guard at the door, seeing the other party's aura, was a little uncertain. He thought that although the other party was dressed in shivering clothes, it was hard to guarantee that he was not some royal family and nobles who were visiting in private. The master blocked the trouble, I'm afraid I can't afford to walk around, anyway, he said, I just need to show this thing to the master, if the master says he can't see him, he will leave immediately, so even if it is wrong, it is wrong It's on my head!
Thinking of this, the servant took the object in the opponent's hand and said, "You wait here." Then he turned and walked into the courtyard.

Coincidentally, as soon as I entered the compound, the servant saw the chief steward walking in the garden, so he thought, this move really belongs to the royal family and nobles, I believe the chief steward must recognize it, so I will let the chief steward look at it first.So the family ran to the housekeeper, explained the reason, and handed over the items to the housekeeper.

What kind of person is the butler, after turning over the object in his hands, he immediately felt that the matter was unusual, and immediately went into the room to report to Feng Xiangru.

Feng Xiangru was sitting in the lobby drinking tea at the time, and seeing the chief butler's anxious look, he said, "Butler Zhang, why are you so flustered? You are a housekeeper now, don't be like a little servant."

After hearing the master's instruction, the butler quickly bowed his head and said: "The master reprimanded me, but someone sent an item at the door just now, and I found it unusual after looking at it, so I specially brought it for the master to have a look at." The thing in his hand was handed to Feng Xiangru.
