I have been painting skin in the cemetery for fifteen years

At this time, Master Yuan Hu said: "Wu Que, go home quickly, the sooner the better."

Jiu Mo Gang nodded and said: "Yes, go back quickly."

Yingzhou is the territory of Mi and Fu Jianzhi. Wu Que had just killed Fu Tieyi and slapped Mi and Fu hard in the face.

If he stayed in Yingzhou any longer, he would be in trouble.

Some people might try every means to kill Wu Que.

It is safe only if he returns to the territory of the Shen family.

Wu Que immediately bowed to Grandmaster Yuan Hu and said: "Grandmaster, take care."

Then, he bowed to many students and candidates present and said: "Take care, everyone."

All students and candidates bowed to Wu Que: "Take care, senior brother."

Then, Jiu Mo Gang and others protected Shen Wu Que in the middle and returned to the Shen family's courtyard first.

At this time, Shen Ying had packed and prepared with hundreds of knights.

Chu Chu had also climbed onto the horse, wearing a riding suit, with a slim and curvy figure.

She looked at Wuque with a slightly complicated look, but soon she put on a charming smile.

She was extremely smart, and her previous prediction was almost completely correct. But in a sense, it was not quite the same as she predicted. Because the conservatives of Sky Book City did prepare two copies of the city's decree as she said, but did not take them out.

The content was the same, but the form of expression was different, so Wuque said she was only half right.

This cat-like girl was extremely smart, but her pattern was slightly lacking.

Eight years ago, Chuchu was Shen Wuque's maid. But in their relationship, Chuchu actually dominated, because she was smart, beautiful, and strong, and now it seemed that Wuque always suppressed her.

After working in Zhaixing Pavilion for a few years, and then studying at Master Jingqiao for a few years, Chuchu also underwent a transformation.

From a daughter of a house slave, she became the master's closed disciple.

She also hoped that everyone would remember that her identity was only the master's disciple.

Complex thoughts changed in a thousand ways, and Chuchu looked at Shen Wuque's face, which was the face she loved after all.

"Congratulations, sir."

"Sir, you are more powerful than I thought. You are a completely different person than you were eight years ago."

Wu Que glanced at her breasts and said, "I feel the same way."

At this moment, three people came running.

It was Yingzhou professor Gao Qi, poetry idol Lin Caichen, and Ning Liren, the third place in the Xuecheng exam.

After seeing Wu Que, the three people bowed and said, "Sir Wu Que, we want to follow you and be loyal to you."

Wu Que was stunned. He was not surprised that Gao Qi came to join him.

But Lin Caichen, a romantic and unrestrained person, also came to join him.

And Ning Liren, the third place in the Xuecheng exam, who had a bright future, also came to join him, which was surprising.

Wuque said: "Brother Liren, you are the second in the three southern provinces this time. Once you participate in the joint examination and the palace examination, you will basically be able to pass the imperial examination and become an official of the empire, above the seventh rank, with a bright future. You may not have such a future if you follow me."

In fact, Wuque has been wondering until now why Ning Liren would risk his life to stand up for him.

No one has ever looked for him, and they are not familiar with him at all.

Ning Liren came to Master Jiumogang and bowed, saying, "Student, I am here to meet you, my benefactor."

Jiumogang was surprised and asked, "When have I ever been kind to you?"

Ning Liren said, "More than ten years ago, my father was framed and killed. The master saw injustice and drew his sword to help. He rescued me from the bully's sticks and killed more than a dozen bullies to avenge me. Afterwards, he left me money so that I could study."

Jiumogang was surprised and said, "The child in Crouching Tiger Village, is it you?"

Ning Liren said, "It was my student."

Jiumogang said, "I was in a hurry to do something, and it was quite dangerous, so I couldn't take you and your son away. Afterwards, I went to your house to find you, wanting to take you back to Tianshui Academy, but you and your son were no longer in your hometown."

Ning Liren said: "Because the bully is powerful and has a deep network of connections, we are afraid of revenge from the villains, so we moved away overnight."

After that, Ning Liren knelt down and kowtowed, saying: "Thank you for saving me, thank you for avenging my father."

Jiu Mogang stepped forward to help him up and said: "Good boy, it is a great fate that we meet again in this way."

Wu Que said: "Brother Liren, even if you want to repay me, you don't need to follow me."

Ning Liren said: "I follow you, not for repayment, but for belief."

Wu Que said: "What is your belief?"

Ning Liren said: "Let the children of the poor not be bullied. Let the children of the poor have books to read."

As soon as these words came out, everyone stood in awe.

Then, Ning Liren said, "I am a foolish and stupid person. I probably can't be an official of the empire, so please take me in, Master Wuque."

Wuque got off his horse and bowed to Ning Liren again, saying, "Thank you, Brother Liren, for following me."

Ning Liren bowed and said, "Meet the master."

Then, Wuque came to Gao Qi.

"Master Gao, you are a seventh-rank official, but you are not stable in Yingzhou. If you are willing, I will introduce you to my father and work in Zhenhai City."

Gao Qi said, "Although I am a seventh-rank official in Yingzhou, I have no position or power. I was in a daze until this incident, and it was like waking up from a dream. My heart is burning, but my eyes are full of confusion. I see the master, so I come to seek refuge. Please accept me."

Wuque stepped forward, held Gao Qi's arm and said, "Thank you, Brother Gao."

Gao Qi bowed and said, "Gao Qi, meet the master."

Finally, Wuque came to Lin Caichen, raised his hands in surrender and said, "Brother Lin, please don't ask me to compose a poem again. I really have nothing left."

Lin Caichen said: "Young Master Wuque is indeed a member of my comrades, hahaha. But my poems are like my treasures, only released to women."

Then, Lin Caichen bowed solemnly and said: "Lin Caichen, I have come to seek refuge with Mr. Wuque. I hope to accept him."

Wu Que supported Lin Caichen's arm and said, "Welcome Brother Lin."

"Lin Caichen, pay homage to the Lord."

In one incident, we achieved a complete victory and gained three talents. I was really not happy about it.

Just when he was about to mount his horse and set off, a man rushed over, knelt down in front of Wuque, and kept kowtowing: "Master, save Li Er. Let me make you a cow, a horse, a pig, or a dog." Bar."

This person is none other than Li Er.

Of course he knew that staying in Yingzhou would lead to death, so he tried his best to curry favor with Wu Que in order to have a way out.

Moreover, he actually brought his six-year-old son, oh no, his nephew.

Seeing Wu Que's gaze, Li Er smiled sheepishly.

He had always thought that this child was his own flesh and blood, so he had doted on him since childhood. Unexpectedly, Li Er was extremely angry at the time because he was the child of an adulterous relationship between his wife and his younger brother.

But both his brother Li San and his wife Luo Shi were dead, so any hatred or resentment disappeared.

So from now on, just love him as your own son.

Wuque glanced at him and ordered: "Give him a horse."

Li Er immediately kowtowed with all his strength and said: "Thank you, Master, thank you Master."

If it weren't for the fact that he had children, I wouldn't want to give him horses.

However, in order to travel quickly, one still needs to ride a horse. This time, the hundreds of knights brought by the Shen family were all one person and two horses.

"Let the homing pigeons fly." Following an order.

A dozen homing pigeons fluttered their wings and flew towards Zhenhai City.

Yingzhou is hundreds of miles away from Zhenhai City, and it will take at least ten hours to ride a horse.

Therefore, the carrier pigeon was sent to convey the great news to Shen Gong Ao first.

Last night, three waves of knights were ruled out from going south to Zhenhai City to report.

However, it should not be several hundred miles away yet, and the riding speed is not that fast.

As for the riding eagle?

This kind of carving is extremely rare. There are only dozens of them in Daxia Empire and Sky Book City combined.

Moreover, no one is allowed to ride an eagle unless it is an urgent matter, otherwise it will be regarded as a blasphemy against Sky Book City and the imperial family.

"Let's go home!" Wuque ordered.

More than a hundred people and more than two hundred horses galloped down and returned to Zhenhai City.

go home!

To seize the Shen Gong family's inheritance and restore the glory of our ancestors.

While galloping, Chu Chu drove the horse closer to Wu Que, showing off her graceful and moving figure.

Concave and charming, indeed charming.

"Sir, am I in better shape or is Zhi Fan better?"

Wu Que immediately recalled Ji Fan's devilish figure, especially the way she straightened her waist at all times, stood tall against the mountains, and her jade neck stood upright like a swan, that kind of arrogance and aloofness.

Immediately, Wuque expressed respect.

Then Chu Chu said: "When I left Zhenhai City and went north, Zhi Fan was about to make peace with you. But she probably never expected that you could win the first place in the city's big exam. She thought you would definitely lose and it would be miserable. I returned to Zhenhai City in disgrace."

"Sir, guess what, if you return to Zhenhai City with the prestige of being number one in the college entrance examination, will Zhifan still reconcile with you?"

Wu Que smiled and said nothing.

Just for that ass, can I make you reconcile?

joke!

At this time, more than a hundred cavalry closely protected Wu Que in the middle.

With lightning speed.

Shen Ying shouted: "Go at full speed, don't skimp on horsepower, change horses halfway, and return to Zhenhai City as quickly as possible."

………………………………

Zhenhaicheng Pier.

The knights sent from Yingzhou City last night were still galloping halfway, still more than a hundred miles away from Zhenhai City.

The waves of homing pigeons released last night were all eaten by falcons.

The carrier pigeons released this morning are getting closer and closer to Zhenhai City, but they are still dozens or hundreds of miles away.

So many things happened in Yingzhou, they all happened last night, that is, only a few hours passed.

There are hundreds of miles between the two places, so Zhenhai City still knows nothing about what happened in Yingzhou.

At this time, despite all his reluctance, Shen Gongao left the Marquis Mansion and headed for the dock.

Once the news of the release of the list comes from the carrier pigeon, these thirty warships will be officially delivered.

Lord Mi Gou, the Grand Administrator of Nanhai County Li Shiyun, and the Imperial Southern Navy Admiral were already waiting at the dock.

Seeing Shen Gong Ao arriving, the three of them smiled happily.

Li Shiyun and the navy admiral stood up to greet him, but Lord Mi Gou sat upright and only raised his eyes.

In the eyes of everyone in the Mi family, the Shen Gong family is just a retainer.

Zhenhai City is rented from the Mi family.

However, Shen Gongao himself was already a giant, but the Mi family still had this attitude, which made him very unhappy.

"This place is five to six hundred miles away from Yingzhou. In about half an hour, the carrier pigeon will fly there, and we will know whether we have won or lost."

That's what he said, but in everyone's mind, Shen Wuque was bound to lose, and there were no surprises at all.

Therefore, Shen Gong Ao's thirty warships have been delivered.

Shen Gongao sat down in his seat and waited quietly for the carrier pigeon.

Mi Gou suddenly said: "Shen Gong Ao, how is the construction of Magic Stone City going?"

Hearing this, Shen Gongao frowned.

According to the agreement, after the Shen Gong family completes the construction of Magic Stone City, the whole family will move to Magic Stone City. Then it is time to return Zhenhai City to the Mi family.

But how prosperous is Zhenhai City now? Although there is a mixture of fish and dragons, he is still the core of the Shen Gong family. How could he be willing to hand it over.

However, it was indeed borrowed from Mi fifteen years ago.

The contract is clear.

It's just that in these years, the empire asked Shen Gong Ao to conquer the north and south, and did not urge him to return Zhenhai City.

Nowadays, at least half of the wealth of the Shen Gong family is in Zhenhai City.

Shen Gong Ao has a brilliant foundation now, with a total of three core cities.

Zhenhai City, Magic Stone City, Black Gold City.

Zhenhai City is the center of trade and the money bag.

Magic Stone City is the future family base and has an extremely strong city.

And Black Gold City is also extremely important to the Shen Gong family.

Because there are coal mines, iron mines, and various other mineral deposits.

And this black gold city was built by Shen Gong Ao.

With Black Gold City, the Shen Gong family's tens of thousands of private soldiers can have armor and weapons without having to buy other people's at high prices.

Moreover, weapons and armor are strategic resources, and others are not very willing to sell them.

Moreover, the Shen Gong family can sell various metal mines every year to increase their income.

Therefore, the three core cities are indispensable.

The three major money bags of the Shen Gong family, maritime trade, Zhaixing Pavilion, and Black Gold City, are also indispensable.

There are several large mines in Black Gold City, and there is a dangerous and strong castle. The Shen Gong family used thousands of people to build it for more than ten years, and it is almost completed.

Because this black gold city has a special location, it is at the junction of several forces.

In the past ten years, the empire relied on Shen Gong Ao to conquer the north and south, so Black Gold City was relatively peaceful and no one came to rob it.

It will be difficult to deal with it in the future, so we can build a castle early and station troops there to feel at ease.

But not long ago, Shen Gongao made a crazy move.

He mortgaged the Black Gold Castle, its mines, and the smelting workshop, borrowed one million taels of silver from the Tianxiahui, and gave it to Shen Wuyu to conquer the Moro tribe.

The benefits of conquering the Moro tribe are too great, which is equivalent to adding hundreds of thousands of people and 8,000 square kilometers of territory at once.

Therefore, Shen Gong Ao took this dangerous move.

This opportunity is too good to miss, and too much has been paid for the Moro people before.

Now that the crucial decisive battle has arrived, it is impossible to waste all previous efforts, no matter how high the price, we must pay.

At this time, Shen Wuyu was still missing from the Moro tribe, which was really worrying.

three directions.

Yingzhou, Moro tribe, Red Earth City.

All related to the huge interests of the Shen Gong family.

On the Yingzhou side, Shen Gong Ao was ready to lose. Shen Gong Ao really knew what his perfect knowledge and martial arts were like, and he didn't dare to have much hope. God had already opened his eyes if he could enter the second stage of the exam.

It's impossible to even get on the list, let alone beat Fu Tieyi.

That is something I never dare to think about.

Not even 1 in 10,000 possible.

Yingzhou will definitely lose, but Moro City and Hongtu City must not lose, otherwise the Shen Gong family will really be in disaster.

All this is because the Shen Gong family has expanded too fast in these years.

Money and food are not enough every year. A population of hundreds of thousands supports an army of 50,000 or 60,000. This is too exaggerated.

This time we will take the opportunity to recuperate for a period of time, first survive the crisis of Zhenhai City's return, and then expand again in a few years.

Suddenly, Mi Gou said again: "Shen Gong Ao, you need to hurry up about establishing a son. My brother Wang has asked several times, and His Majesty the Emperor will soon issue an order to urge you."

Shen Gong Ao said: "I know."

At this moment, more than a dozen homing pigeons suddenly flew in from the northern sky.

At the same time, the warriors from the Marquis Palace of Zhenhai also flew towards the dock.

"Here comes the homing pigeon, here comes the homing pigeon."

"Yingzhou has released the results."

Mi Gou said: "Shen Gong Ao, prepare to deliver the warship. I will go back quickly. I have been spending several days here."

The Imperial Southern Navy Admiral looked greedily at the thirty large warships on the water and said with a smile: "Thank you, Marquis Shen Gong Ao."

Mi Gou said coldly: "When Shen Wuque comes back this time, remember to teach him well, so as not to bring trouble to the family again! Not only the people of Duke Shen's family will be shamed, but also the people of my Mi family. After all, they are also the retainers of our Mi family."

Shen Gongao was furious in his heart. He really got an advantage and acted like a good boy.

If it weren't for your loyalty and innocence, how could you have taken such a big advantage from me.

Thirty large warships represent the maritime trade routes.

It’s so heartbreaking!

Even though I was mentally prepared, when it happened, I was still heartbroken and uncomfortable.

Over there, Mi Gou and the Imperial Southern Navy Admiral have already received the carrier pigeon.

Li Shiyun handed over a pen and a contract and said: "Your Majesty, just sign here."

At this time, Mi Gou took off the secret message from the pigeon's leg.

It unfolded casually, because there was no suspense about it, and it was just a formality.

but……

When he opened it, he was stunned.

The secret letter clearly stated: The exam is over and Shen Wuque won first place. In the final duel and additional examinations, Fu Tieyi died at the hands of Shen Wuque, Mi Daoyuan resigned as the head of Tianshui Academy, and Wen Daozi's reformist faction resurrected.

At the same time, Shen Gongao's staff member Gongsun Ye came galloping on horseback, shouting: "My Lord Marquis, great joy, great joy. Master Wuque won in Yingzhou and won the first place in the Xuecheng exam."

Gongsun Ye's warhorse galloped in front of Shen Gongao, jumped off the horse, and dropped the secret letter on the ground.

Shen Gongao opened it and saw that it said: Xuecheng exam, Wuque first. Martial arts duel, killing Fu Tieyi, Mi Daoyuan stepped down, a great victory.

For a moment, Shen Gongao really couldn't believe his eyes, as if everything on the paper was like a dream.

For a long while, he suddenly laughed out loud.

"Hahahaha!"

"Hahahaha!"
