Chapter 333

Hiss.

A sound of cold air sucking rang on the drill ground.

Is this the strength of the proctor?

Those Martial Examination candidates from outer provinces were all surprised; they thought that the officials in the capital were all at this level, which really opened their eyes; if they were all as powerful as the proctor in front of them, the capital is truly crouching tiger, hidden dragon.

The strength of that Nine-Yin Dragon is obvious to all.

Even Xu Yan almost died; that is a person who is highly expected to impact the Martial Top Graduate, but he was easily suppressed by an old man who looked unremarkable, and from the means displayed by the old man, he is still Sea-Observing.

There is such a powerful Sea-Observing in the world!

The visual impact of the comparison is even more terrifying.

Those Martial Examination candidates who were originally from the capital understood.

Li Rui is the alien.

If the martial officials in the capital were all at this standard.

The gold content of the Martial Top Graduate will be raised to another level.

Unlike civil officials who must report to the imperial family, martial artists have more choices, such as joining the army or joining a sect; there is no need to take the path of the imperial examination.

So although the Martial Top Graduate is a strong person among the Fifth Rank, he is not the most top-notch one.

And the old man in front of him is undoubtedly one of the top ones.

Too strong!

Li Rui suppressed the Nine-Yin Dragon with one palm.

Just as the Nine-Yin Dragon was hit into the ground, a group of proctors on the drill ground rushed over together.

A golden rope appeared in each person's hand.

Not three breaths.

The Nine-Yin Dragon was bound by the golden rope and re-imprisoned in the cage.

The storm subsided.

The Nine-Yin Dragon was suppressed again, and Xu Yan was only injured.

Everyone is happy.

At this time.

Vice Minister Wang's voice rang on the drill ground: "The competition continues!"

I saw Vice Minister Wang on the high platform cast an appreciative look at Li Rui and said to Nie Siming on the side:

"Brother Nie, this subordinate of yours is a true warrior."

Nie Siming nodded casually, not caring at all.

Invincible in the same rank, difficult?

Vice Minister Wang was extremely happy; the imperial court opened the examination to select scholars, which is certainly to select excellent talents, but it also has the purpose of promoting the martial virtue of the Yu Kingdom.

These people are martial arts masters from all over the place; after the Martial Examination ends, today's events will also be spread after these Martial Examination candidates return to their hometowns.

Li Rui's move can be said to have greatly increased the face of the Ministry of War, and the prestige of the Ministry of War will definitely increase greatly.

It is all political achievements, how can he not be happy.

Li Rui made such a feat, but stood back to his original position like nothing happened, without any pride, as if he had done a very ordinary thing.

If it weren't for Xu Yan and that Nine-Yin Dragon running in front of him, he wouldn't necessarily have taken action.

The Nine-Yin Dragon is indeed powerful.

Even he had to use eighty percent of his strength... who told him to be the nemesis of the demonic beasts in the world.

Lin Hai, Ma Xuan, and others took the opportunity to gather around.

All were excited.

"Li Laoge, it turns out you are so powerful."

"Yunzhou actually has such a figure as Li Laoge; it is truly my ignorance."

Even Lin Hai, who knows Yunzhou best, was shocked by Li Rui's move just now.

How did Yunzhou produce such a powerful figure?

He asked himself that he had already looked at Li Rui highly, but now it seems that he still underestimated Li Rui's ability by far.

Lin Hai's mouth was almost grinning to his ears.

He never expected that the biggest gain of his proctoring the Martial Examination this time was to get to know Li Rui, and it was the other party who delivered it to his door.

Blessing from heaven.

"Could it be that the Blessing Heavenly Lord I went to Nanshan Temple to worship a few days ago really manifested?"

"Good fellow villager, good fellow villager!"

His eyes shot out essence.

As far as he knows, Li Rui is not an outer provincial official who came to Yunzhou to be an official, but a genuine Qinghe person.

With this fellow villager friendship, it is destined that the relationship with Li Rui will be closer.

Li Rui looked light and breezy:

"It's just some small means."

Lin Hai and Ma Xuan's four people's mouths twitched together.

One palm slapped away a dragon that almost killed the future Martial Top Graduate; can this still be called a small means??

What is called a true person not showing his face.

If it weren't for Li Rui's palm that appeared today, they couldn't see at all that the little old man who was pushing cups and changing lamps with them last night contained such terrifying power in his body.

Xu Yan, who was saved, came to Li Rui:

"Thank you, Proctor, for saving my life."

He understands.

If Li Rui hadn't taken action just now, he might have died.

Not to mention any Top Graduate position.

This is a great favor.

Li Rui waved his hand casually: "It's my duty, Little Brother Xu, don't worry about it; the next is the military subject, no need to use martial arts, go and prepare well."

Xu Yan nodded and retreated to the examinees.

With Li Rui's performance just now, he actually made these Martial Examination candidates, the future Martial Metropolitan Graduates, look eclipsed.

Although there were eye-catching performances later.

But no one could walk in front of that Nine-Yin Dragon again.

Until dusk.

The Martial Examination Town Subject finally came to an end.

After that, it was the military subject; the venue will be converted to the Hanlin Academy, and the competition is military strategy, so there is no need for Li Rui and other martial officials to proctor.

The proctoring matter is considered to have come to an end.

Li Rui was just about to leave the drill ground.

Lin Hai and the four of them gathered around early.

Besides them, many officials who proctored this time came forward to get to know Li Rui, and there was even a Fourth-Rank martial official.

The face is full! It is a world of difference from the scene when Li Rui came to the drill ground on the first day.

"Li Laoge, don't say anything, I have already set up a banquet at Dongbao Residence tonight; you must give this face to your old brother."

Lin Hai said, holding Li Rui's hand.

Regarding calling Li Rui tonight, he was even more desperate than competing for the flower leader of the Jiaofang Division.

So many colleagues are watching.

If Li Rui attends his banquet first, his prestige will undoubtedly increase greatly.

Prestige is not ethereal.

It is a necessary item for promotion.

Otherwise, why did those ministers break their heads for a good reputation.

Of course, it is very beneficial to be an official.

Not a single line, not a single word, not a single content, look at it one by one!

Li Rui smiled and cupped his hands to the officials who gathered around: "Everyone, meeting old friends in a foreign land is a happy event in life; I have a fellow villager friendship with Lord Lin, so I can't attend the appointment tonight; I have saved some good tea, everyone can come to the Guest Reception Office to taste tea together another day."

At this time, so many people invited, if not handled properly.

It will make others dissatisfied.

So a reason that can convince everyone is needed, and it cannot make people feel partial.

Li Rui decisively sent out the killer move of fellow villager friendship.

Officials in the capital, especially those from outer provinces, value fellow villager friendship very much.

This matter concerns benevolence and righteousness.

With Lin Hai, a fellow villager, it is just right to convince the public, and no one can pick out any problems.

Then tell everyone his residence, which is convenient for contact later, and also gave a reason for tasting tea, so it won't be awkward when they come.

It can be considered all-encompassing.

As for the few people who are still dissatisfied, Li Rui will choose to ignore them.

Doing things, it is impossible to satisfy everyone.

Choosing Lin Hai not only solved the trouble in front of him but also repaid the favor of these days.

Although he took the initiative to get to know Lin Hai, the other party didn't treat him coldly; on the contrary, he took the initiative to pull him to the banquet; this is a favor and must be repaid.

Kill two birds with one stone.

Lin Hai was even more proud when he heard Li Rui's words, and said with a laugh:

"Lords, don't fight with me, Lin Hai, today."

In addition, Lin Hai enlivened the atmosphere, and the proctors scolded a few words, said goodbye to Li Rui, and dispersed.

Knowing that Li Rui had no carriage.

Lin Hai simply invited Li Rui to ride in the same carriage.

Before long, they arrived at a magnificent wooden building in the capital.

It is Dongbao Residence, famous for its rare treasures in the Yu Kingdom.

Besides Li Rui, Lin Hai also called several good friends who were officials in the same dynasty.

Hmm.

It is a small circle.

This also means that Lin Hai wants to pull Li Rui into a real "insider."

As everyone knows, the more people at a gathering, the more useless it is.

Like the current gathering of three or five people, it is the best; otherwise, not to mention that there are many people and many mouths, ten or twenty people, just finishing a round of talk is an hour; when they meet again, people may not even remember the name, what is the use.

Lin Hai's friends are naturally all officials in the court, all from the Six Ministries, Five Temples, Five Armies, and Five City Military Horse Divisions.

Although the Fifth Rank is not prominent, they are all in important positions, and a word may provide Li Rui with a lot of convenience.

"This is my Li Laoge."

"These are my good friends in the capital..."

At first, there was still guard, but when Lin Hai said that Li Rui was the instructor of the Annan Marquis Mansion, their faces began to relax.

When talking about the dragon in the Martial Examination today, it turned into a big laugh.

They are all shrewd people.

Such a big thing, they must have heard of it long ago.

Other officials can't ask for it, but Lin Hai brought them to the front, how can they not be happy?

Identity and strength are both available, and the next scene is hard not to be lively.

"Li Laoge, you actually live in the Guest Reception Office of my Court of Diplomatic Reception; isn't this a family? Tomorrow, no, I will order it later to change Li Laoge to a house with a separate courtyard, so that he can live more comfortably."

A Vice Minister of the Court of Diplomatic Reception said.

Li Rui nodded with a smile and agreed.

Look.

Isn't the benefit coming?

Just as Li Rui was talking vividly with several people about that Marquis Yuan and the eight foster sons.

Several figures appeared in front of Dongbao Residence, the leader was white and beardless, quite micro-ceremonial.

Lin Hai put down the chopsticks in his hand, surprised:

"Yo, isn't this Eunuch Zheng? Hurry, add a few tables and chopsticks!"

He greeted the waiter of Dongbao Residence.

Eunuch Zheng waved his hand: "The old slave is just a life of hard work, not as happy as you lords; coming tonight is to bring the Emperor's oral edict."

Hearing the two words oral edict.

Everyone's expression was solemn.

Who doesn't know that this Eunuch Zheng is the big eunuch who follows the Emperor.

Just when several people were curious about what kind of oral edict Eunuch Zheng brought.

Eunuch Zheng's voice rang:

"Li Rui, your performance today is brave and strong; the Emperor wants to meet you."

Several people in Dongbao Residence were shocked.

Meet the Emperor?

Enter the palace!

Li Rui stood up quickly, and heard Eunuch Zheng say with a kind face: "Lord Li, no need to worry, continue to drink wine, and meet the Emperor after you finish drinking."

"This"

Everyone was even more shocked.

Eunuch Zheng explained understandingly:

"The sentence above was also said by the Emperor."
