Chapter 587

"Seems not..."

Huo Hongyuan remained silent and picked up chopsticks to pick up vegetables.

Zhu Zongwang held the cup mouth with three fingers, his wrist turned, and the amber wine swayed gently.

Everyone heard what Liang Qu said and didn't feel different.

An awl in a bag, its tip will stand out.

The martial arts examination is originally an upward channel to prove one's talent, and the fame brought along the way can often be cashed out for benefits.

For example, marriage, recognizing the way, etc.

But for those who are already on a smooth road and have extraordinary backgrounds, the attraction must be limited.

"Brother Liang has a Grandmaster master above, and a grandson apprentice below. It is invincible to become a dragon in fate, why borrow the martial arts examination to become famous?"

"Envy others, envy others!"

"Come, come, come, fill it up, fill it up! Celebrate!"

The Xu family disciples heckled.

Drink another round, the banquet returned to noise.

Liang Qu didn't let go of the topic: "Why did Brother Zhu think of asking me about the martial arts examination?"

"Such a hero as Brother Liang should not just be famous in Pingyang, Huangzhou, but should move the world." Zhu Zongwang's face didn't turn red and his heart didn't beat, raised his wine glass and drank it down.

Liang Qu felt something was wrong.

Huo Hongyuan and Zhu Zongwang returned from Lushan and always stayed behind closed doors.

Until the first day of the Great Hunt, they still held back and hunted separately.

The performance was completely inconsistent with the rumors.

Especially Huo Hongyuan.

Either the evaluation of the Sea Hai Yecha's "competitive" in the outside world is wrong, in fact, he is a low-key, humble, and introverted good guy, slandered by jealous people.

Or there is some unknown key in the middle, indirectly affecting the decision of the two.

Combined with Zhu Zongwang's intentional or unintentional questions.

"Fate..."

Liang Qu thought, put the answer into the logical behavior before and after, and gradually figured out the confusion, which was a bit incredible.

Is fate so easy to change?

Huo Hongyuan's Sea Hai Yecha, belongs to the small water god, still understandable.

His own partial seal is the Long Dragon Crossing the River, and the positive seal is the Fierce Ape. No matter which one, he must ride above it.

What about Zhu Zongwang?

Tail Wei Huo Hu should belong to fire.

Could it be water overcoming fire?

Pondering.

Zhu Zongwang suddenly asked.

"Brother Liang is the Hengshui Envoy in the River Patrol Office in Pingyang Prefecture?"

"Exactly."

"Use lies in opportunity, display lies in potential." Zhu Zongwang picked up the teapot and poured a cup of clear tea for Liang Qu, "Pingyang Prefecture needs to deal with the threat of the Ghost Mother Sect, just like the river source facing the Northern Court, Ningzhou facing the Southern Frontier, facing the three places of north, south, and middle, all are places to build merit."

Tea leaves drifted.

Liang Qu didn't know what this meant.

"Brother Zhu, don't you want to come to Pingyang Prefecture? It's not an easy thing to transfer after taking office for two years, right?"

"I don't have an official body."

"No official body?"

Liang Qu raised his eyebrows, quite surprised.

The Tail Wei Huo Hu, sixth in the East Constellation, has no official body?

It is very normal for a provincial graduate to want to be an official, queuing for a long time, one radish and one pit.

But the wolf smoke twenty-eight constellations in the martial arts examination are equal to the metropolitan graduate, two levels higher than the provincial graduate, there is no problem of queuing for vacancies at all.

"I don't know if Brother Liang has heard of the Guan Zheng Metropolitan Graduate?"

"Heard of it."

Guan Zheng Metropolitan Graduate, that is, after being recorded as a metropolitan graduate, because they are not familiar with government affairs, they need to "observe government in various departments, make them familiar with the political system, and then promote them."

The direct meaning is internship.

After passing the exam, the official position will be given to you, but you have to enter the Hanlin Academy, Six Ministries, Censorate, Dali Temple, Tongzheng Division and other departments to work, and then select and appoint after a fixed period of time.

"The imperial examination is like this, and the martial arts examination is the same. The metropolitan graduates of the early dynasty, according to the old customs, after the list is released, they are allocated to various departments to observe government for three months, and then 'selection'."

"This is only three months."

"The current dynasty's Holy Emperor ascended the throne, and the martial arts examination and imperial examination were all changed to three years. Only when the next session begins to select, the previous session can be appointed to various places. During this period, they go to various states and counties to learn, otherwise how can they get free time to come to Huangzhou?"

Liang Qu suddenly realized.

Quite complicated.

When he became a River Earl, he didn't say he had to go to "internship".

Although the official position is small, it is determined by the Holy Emperor, which is a shortcut, but the choice after the martial arts examination should be relatively large.

Learning for three years, the positions that can be rotated are definitely not all martial positions...

Zhu Zongwang continued: "Those with excellent results in the imperial examination have priority and can be selected directly in the Imperial Court, known as the 【Tiger Class】 by the world. The wolf smoke twenty-eight constellations also have the right to choose. Next March, you and I might be colleagues."

Liang Qu's face was as usual.

"It's a good thing Brother Zhu can come."

Banquet ended.

Leave the scene in twos and threes.

Outside Qixia Building.

"Do you really want to go to Pingyang Prefecture?" Huo Hongyuan asked.

"Times create heroes, but the world is peaceful today." Zhu Zongwang held up four fingers, "Southern Frontier tribes, Northern Court barbarians, overseas countries, remnants of the previous dynasty, apart from these fragmented struggles, only these four places are easy to get war merit, and they will be protracted, not ten or twenty years, not solvable in decades.

Next March, the selection will be nothing more than these few places. The Northern Court is bitter and poor, the Southern Frontier is poisonous, the sea is unpredictable...

Only the Jianghuai Great Marsh can be considered a good life. You are a patrolling sea yaksha, living by the river for a long time, close to the water, and have great benefits. Haven't you thought about it before?"

Looking at Zhu Zongwang's four fingers bending one by one, only one little finger remained upright, Huo Hongyuan fell into deep thought.

Approaching the selection, how could he not think about where to go?

Pingyang Prefecture is indeed a relatively good place.

It's just that Liang Qu's appearance, I don't know if there is resistance or what...

Zhu Zongwang saw through it in these few days, he patted Huo Hongyuan on the shoulder.

"The road ahead is long, today is only October, there is still half a year, no need to rush to decide."

……

Night wind blew gently.

Liang Qu left Qixia Building, didn't go home, and went straight to the bank of Ba Water, looking for a quiet and deserted place.

Withered autumn leaves floated on the river.

*Whoosh. *

Water flow collapsed.

The giant tail swayed the withered leaves.

Fatty Catfish and Round Head emerged one after another.

After three days of digestion, the two hundred or so treasure fish from the Great Hunt were all eaten by the two beasts!

Communicate with the Inside Ze Ding.

【Ding Master: Liang Qu】

【Refining Water Spirit: Water King Ape (Purple) (Fusion Degree: 1.1%)】

【Water Essence: 79,103 points】

Round Head.

【Can consume 8,637 points of water essence...】

Fatty Catfish.

【Can consume 2,637 points of water essence...】

The Fatty Catfish only had a gap of over 10,000 before, obviously Round Head ate more treasure fish.

Ten thousand essence is not much for Liang Qu now.

The Ding's essence light appeared.

Browse through it.

Choose special skills if you have them.

*Bang. *

Golden light shattered.

Giant beasts swam, and the might was born!

Water waves flowed.

The Fatty Catfish's fins became increasingly elegant.

Round Head became even more slender, swimming and exposing its back, like a floating island.

It is not even in its complete state now, and it will grow after the evolution is completed for a period of time.

If local fishermen saw it, they would probably be too scared to go into the water to fish for half a month.

So far.

Cannot Move, Fatty Catfish, Round Head.

Liang Qu has three peak spirit monster water beasts under his command!

Seeing the leader becoming increasingly majestic, a group of river dolphins cheered and played in the water.

Round Head has the 【Leader Rhythm】 divine skill, which can lead the group to grow and transform during daily activities, playing a mysterious role of bringing the whole group along. Many river dolphins have grown half a circle since they were first caught... joined.

"Go to Peng Ze and look for other river dolphin groups."
