Li Qingxuan looked Zhou Tong up and down.
Everyone in the venue subconsciously held their breath.
Because I know that the next step will be the moment when Wu Zhuangyuan is born.
Zhou Tong was also a little nervous and did not dare to look directly into Li Qingxuan's eyes.
"Zhou Tong, I ask you, why do you practice martial arts?"
Zhou Tong said without hesitation: "Be loyal to the king and serve the country."
"Okay, I hope you can remember what you said today. If you betray your original intention one day, I will kill you with my own hands."
After saying that, Li Qingxuan stood up, looked at everyone present, and said loudly: "I announce that the number one scholar in the martial arts today is Zhou Tong, the number two Wang Xiong, and Tan Hua Qiu Gu."
"There are also thirty other people including Fan Zeng, Li Yuanbin, and Wang An who are Wu Jinshi."
After Li Qingxuan finished speaking, the martial arts examination was finally settled.
The results in the martial arts examinations were entirely achieved by their fists, without any moisture.
Li Qingxuan was absolutely fair and just.
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Everyone saluted Li Qingxuan.
Even Zhou Tong was a little excited.
Unexpectedly, Li Qingxuan selected him as the number one scholar in martial arts, and did not suppress him because his father was Zhou Yi.
You must know that because he is slightly inferior in bow and arrow, it would be reasonable even if Li Qingxuan selected others as the number one scholar in martial arts.
If you put yourself in someone else's shoes and replace the examiner with someone from a well-established family, then students from poor families would definitely be suppressed.
"Zhou Tong, don't let me down."
Li Qingxuan patted Zhou Tong on the shoulder and glanced at Zhou Yi next to him.
Zhou Yi lowered his head in a hurry, feeling very complicated in his heart.
"Tomorrow, I will host a banquet in the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests, and all the current Kewu Jinshi will attend."
After Li Qingxuan finished speaking, he stood up and left.
Since a banquet was held for the scholars in liberal arts, of course they should treat them equally in martial arts.
The imperial examination ended, and Li Qingxuan was finally free again.
Through practicing the Huangting Sutra these days, Li Qingxuan feels that his realm has improved again, and he is afraid that he will break through to the late stage of the tenth level.
In the yard, Huazhi returned excitedly.
Nowadays, those Jinshi who came out of the imperial examination have entered the court and become officials.
Huazhi put them in the Sixth Department to learn about things and get familiar with things. He believed that it wouldn't take long before they could replace the forces of Yang and Dong's family.
What puzzled Huazhi was that the Dong and Yang families watched helplessly as their power in the court was weakened little by little, and remained indifferent.
"The little emperor's uncle's injury has completely healed. Today he is hosting a banquet with the ministers in the palace. We just happened to go and see him."
Huazhi said to Li Qingxuan.
"Uncle Xiao Huang is one of the top players in the world. When you two meet, you will definitely have many topics in common."
Huazhi also had few relatives, and her only mother, the Queen Mother Ji, was not very close to her.
However, this little emperor's uncle was his only relative, so Huazhi especially hoped that the relationship between Li Qingxuan and the little emperor's uncle would be better.
"OK."
Li Qingxuan naturally had no objection.
When you meet this little emperor, you need to leave a good impression on him.
As soon as they left, the two of them made preparations and went directly to Prince Chen's Mansion.
When Huazhi and the others set off, someone immediately came to inform King Chen that the emperor was coming.
So everyone began to wait patiently, and at the same time, there was a lot of discussion.
King Chen, on the other hand, touched his chin, looking very serious, not knowing what he was thinking.
"I heard that King You came to see King Chen. These are two of our great masters in Great Xia. They must be very high-level to meet."
When Li Qingxuan and Huazhi went to Prince Chen's Mansion, many people heard the news and sighed.
One is King Chen and the other is King You. They are the two most important relatives of the current emperor.
The key is that both of them have very high martial arts skills.
"Presumably Prince Chen, as the emperor's uncle, will carefully inspect Li Qingxuan."
"Prince You must be feeling anxious in his heart."
Everyone speculated like this.
When Li Qingxuan and Huazhi stepped out of the carriage, King Chen and all the guests were already waiting at the door to greet them.
In an instant, countless eyes were focused on Li Qingxuan and King Chen.
I want to see what will happen when Li Qingxuan and King Chen, the two most noble princes in Daxia, meet.
King Chen took a deep breath, forced a smile on his face, and then walked up.
"Your Majesty, you are here."
Then he looked at Li Qingxuan.
"Is this King You?"
Li Qingxuan frowned and asked in confusion: "Why does it look familiar?"
"impossible."
King Chen immediately interrupted Li Qingxuan loudly.
"It's impossible for us to be familiar. This is definitely the first time we've met."
After saying that, he kept winking at Li Qingxuan.
Li Qingxuan said: "Your Highness Prince Chen, are there sand in your eyes? Why do you keep blinking?"
King Chen: "..."
"Your Majesty, King You, please."
King Chen saw that Li Qingxuan didn't seem to recognize him and let out a sigh of relief.
Entering the mansion, Huazhi, as the emperor, naturally had to take a seat.
Li Qingxuan and King Chen sat opposite each other.
"Uncle Emperor, I have been back in the capital for so many days, and I am here to visit you. I hope Uncle Emperor will not be offended."
Although the other party is only eight or nine years older than Li Qingxuan, he is an elder after all.
Li Qingxuan was still very polite to him.
"I heard that the little emperor's uncle was injured by a demon before, and then was hurt a second time. I don't know who is so bold. The little emperor's uncle told me that I will capture him to vent his anger on the little emperor's uncle."
"Well... let's forget it."
Ying Shuo was speechless.
Don't you have any clues in your mind? I was kicked out by you at that time.
"It's nothing. I accidentally fell while climbing the wall."
Ying Shuo said.
"Well, little uncle, you have to be careful and don't be so naughty."
"By the way, when I returned to the city, I encountered a demon and was injured. The demon probably has tenth-level strength. If we contact the news about a missing person in the Black Demon Mountain, it is very likely that the seal has been loosened and the demon has been found. The way to enter this world."
"That tenth-level demon is probably rushing to the Black Demon Mountain, hoping to return to the sealed land."
"When I was a child, I heard from my father that the demon sealed in the imperial mausoleum is the royal family among demons."
"When she returns to the land of demons, she will definitely fight for the throne. The demons should not invade for a while."
"But once the battle for the throne is settled, I'm afraid demons will invade in large numbers. We need to prepare in advance."
"By the way, how strong is the strongest among demons?" Li Qingxuan asked.
"According to records, the strongest among demons should be the tenth grade." Ying Shuo said.
"That's okay. The demons are coming. I will fight them back at worst."
"It's only the tenth grade. I have a lot of them here."
"..."
When King Chen Yingshuo heard this, he immediately felt a little depressed.
I have tried all kinds of efforts and traveled everywhere, but I have not been able to break through the tenth level. When it comes to you, the tenth level is just like cabbage on the roadside.
Are you trying to hit me on purpose?
After the banquet was over, Li Qingxuan and Huazhi were about to leave.
Unexpectedly, Ying Shuo asked to talk to Li Qingxuan alone.
Even Huazhi is excluded from this alone.
"Uncle Emperor, what on earth is so mysterious about?"
Even Li Qingxuan was confused.
"What state are you in now?"
Ying Shuo asked as soon as he came up.
"Middle tenth grade."
Li Qingxuan answered truthfully.
"Be careful of people from the shrine." Ying Shuo said again.
"What kind of existence is the shrine?"
Li Qingxuan became more and more confused.
"Every tenth grade person has the potential to break through the existence of heavenly beings, and after the divine palace appeared a thousand years ago, no more heavenly beings were allowed to appear in the world."
"This rule is set by the shrine."
"But what will happen if you forcefully step into heaven?" Li Qingxuan asked.
"Since the divine palace does not allow the emergence of the realm of gods and humans, there will always be people who reach that realm in a thousand years. Where have those people gone?"
"I don't know what will happen. As far as I know, those people have disappeared. I'm afraid only the people in the shrine know the specific reasons."
Li Qingxuan frowned: "Are you an ordinary person without heaven?"
