Chapter 379: Your Majesty, I don’t want to stay here. I have my own place to stay. Let’s go!
Entering the city gate, Qin Moju and Huo Xiu were both in a trance.
Emperor Qin Wu has been here for nearly two months, and Huo Xiu has been here for nearly a month.
This place is closest to Xu Baoer.
When it comes to hardship, I didn’t realize it before.
After passing the city gate, the sighs arose and turned into a sentence-Everyday is good at home, but everything is difficult when going out.
"Your Majesty, we have finally entered the city!"
"Yes, it is normal to have difficulty in doing big things."
"Fortunately, I found Your Majesty, otherwise I would have I don’t know how long I have to hesitate to enter the city.”
“You can’t say that. This time we enter the city, we, the king and our ministers work together...”
...
After cheering each other up for a while, the two of them became more energetic. Looking around, their laughter was flowing out.
Lao Gou wiped his mouth subconsciously.
"I pride myself on being well-informed, but I have never seen such a person!"
Thinking this, he spoke in confusion.
"You two, where are you from?"
Huo Xiu smiled and said: "Six thousand miles away, people from He County."
"It's really far away," Lao Gou looked at the cow Hearing this, Huo Xiu gave Lao Gou a look that said he should not despise his old age and poverty.
Yes, I took the liberty.
Lao Gou touched his nose and said: "Since you are new to the city, you should learn the rules first. Don't make mistakes and not know anything else. There are many rules in the city..."
After saying a few words casually, he went again. At the back of the team, everyone nodded.
Watching Lao Gou leave, the two of them formed a line.
“Does he think we want to commit petty theft?”
“Your Majesty, why should we be familiar with him? He is just running errands for others, leaving Qin Wu alone. He is just a gangster in Yaxing. Into the flow.”
"I feel that he doesn't think favorably of us."
"That's because he looks down on others. Now that His Majesty has emerged, the world will be determined!"
I don't need to refute this fact.
Qin Moju sighed, feeling quite lonely at a high place and feeling like a country bumpkin being condemned by heaven.
"The punishment from heaven in the future must be like this."
Hearing this, Huo Xiu became more confident and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, our Heavenly Punishment will only be better than Beizhou County."
"How can you see that?"
"Just take it. Those spirit boats in the sky seem to have their own way and are well managed, but in fact..." Huo Xiu thought for a while, "Everywhere is full of the stench of privilege."
Qin Moju has already discovered this and said thoughtfully: "But it is also in line with the law of the weak and the strong."
"Your Majesty is looking after the veteran?" Huo Xiu laughed, "That is the law of the weak and the strong." Externally, Qin Wu is based on the law internally. At least for now, it is not difficult to achieve this.”
Qin Moju nodded, and before he could say anything, he thought of the ten big characters on the red wall of the Forbidden Martial Arts Department, and then thought of Shen Qingyun, and then...
"Although Beizhou is good, it doesn't have soup dumplings."
I can hardly keep up with His Majesty’s unpredictable thoughts.
Huo Xiu was stunned for a while.
It doesn’t matter if you can’t keep up.
"The most important thing is not to pick up the conversation..."
Touching the two pieces of silver at the corner of his clothes, Huo Xiu remained silent.
"So Huo Xiu..."
"Your Majesty, I am here."
"The key now is to earn some silver or spiritual stones."< br>
Breaking down the big goal of assassinating Xu Baoer, the primary goal becomes clear.
After a group of people entered a large manor in the southwest corner of the city, Huo Xiu found Lao Gou.
"Old man, are we paid daily?"
Lao Gou was silent for a while and took out a dozen spiritual stones.
Huo Xiu's heartbeat quickened. He took the spirit stone and asked, "For one person?"
"It's not because of your age, I..." Lao Gou raised his hand halfway, then put it down immediately, and sighed, "I'm the one who helps you two personally. It's not difficult to earn spiritual stones. Let's take a rest and we will assess each other soon. Skills, after passing the assessment, will naturally... What are you doing?"
Looking at the thin man appearing next to him, Huo Xiu took three steps to express that it had nothing to do with him.
The thin man smiled flatteringly at Lao Gou and said, "Senior, even mortals are willing to help..."
"Get lost!"
The thin man turned around and left.
Huo Xiu thought for a moment, raised his hand to Lao Gou, and returned the gesture.
"Help?" Qin Moju glanced at Lao Gou, who was busy again, "I thought he was a fool."
Huo Xiu also nodded.
"The monk did not help, but instead helped us two mortals. Judging from their appearance, they are not good. Your Majesty, this..."
As he said this, the thin man approached in a roundabout way and gave the two of them a hand. An expression that looks like a smile but not a smile.
Qin Moju looked up and down: "If you want to serve me, you have to purify yourself first."
Everyone on the side laughed.
The thin man blushed and cursed: "Is there something wrong with your fucking brain? Are you bragging so hard that you can't help yourself?"
Qin Moju said lightly: "Reality and I can still tell the difference between acting."
While the whole room was laughing, Lao Gou came in carefully holding the photo stone.
"What are you laughing at?" Lao Gou glanced at the thin man lightly, "Let's start with you."
The thin man glanced at the shadow stone, feeling dark in his heart, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Senior, please give me your instructions."
“ Don't be nervous," Lao Gou followed Professor Shen Qingyun's method and pointed the photo stone at the thin man, "Start your performance."
The thin man is a small Qi refining person and has not yet reached the early stage of Qi refining, so he can do it to a certain extent. Become mortal.
Before he started practicing Buddhism, he was a member of the secular theater troupe and was good at one of the four martial arts - martial arts.
After Lao Gou finished speaking, the flattery on the thin man's face disappeared.
The corners of his eyes seemed to have been lifted up by someone, and he was very energetic.
Singing to himself the beat of gongs and drums, he raised his hands and began to spin in circles.
After two turns, the movements became faster and faster, but not in a hurry. It seemed dazzled, but in fact the movements were clear and the expression was focused.
With a heavy gong in his mouth, his eyes narrowed, his movements were certain, and he looked like a... heroine.
"Not bad," Qin Moju nodded slightly, "Reward."
Huo Xiu felt a pain in his heart and silently threw out a spiritual stone.
The thin man took it instinctively, his face immediately darkened, and he complained: "Senior, this person..."
Lao Gou put down the image stone, looked at the thin man, and at Qin Moju.
“Yes, both of you passed the audition.”
Is this okay?
In the hall, everyone wanted to revolt, but then they thought about it and sat down again.
"The thin man is an opera singer."
"That man is bragging and showing off!"
"Damn, he really pretended to be..."< br>
"His mouth... it's not easy to live till now."
"I haven't seen him look pale, he must be beaten often."
"His father's face is even paler!"
......
Before Huo Xiu could react, His Majesty was selected.
But this does not affect his heartfelt admiration.
"Your Majesty is so clever, I can't even imagine it..."
"Haha, you're just a knacker," Qin Moju chuckled, "It's best to take advantage of the situation for this kind of thing. , No one is cooperating, so I should take the next step.”
“What your Majesty said is true.”
Huo Xiu thought about it for a while and found that it was true.
But how can the veteran praise him like this?
"Praise Your Majesty for being able to pretend?"
Huo Xiu looked up and felt thunder rolling from the sky. Before he could find his way to the six realms, a catastrophe was already about to begin.
The round of audition was over, which took less than half an hour, and Lao Gou left with the photo stone.
The thin man saw the opportunity and came again with a dark face.
"You two mortals are humiliating me?"
Huo Xiu felt distressed again when he heard this: "If you don't want the spirit stone, you can give it back to me."
Ouch!
This old man is also a master of trouble!
Seeing this, everyone in the hall simply ignored what happened next and watched the show with gusto.
The thin man's eyes flashed with murderous intent, he sneered twice, turned around and walked away.
Disappointed.
A quarter of an hour later, Lao Gou returned.
"Those whose names are called will go out."
Everyone in the hall braced themselves and waited anxiously for their fate.
There were more than eighty people in total, and those named were only in their early thirties.
Shouzi and Qin Moju are both there.
As for Huo Xiu who was mixed in, Lao Gou didn't say anything and waved: "Come out and the rest will leave."
One step closer to Xu Baoer!
The king and his ministers looked at each other.
What Qin Moju saw was admiration and adoration.
What Huo Xiu saw was calmness.
Since setting out without telling Shen Qingyun, Huo Xiu's heart dropped slightly at this moment.
Following Lao Gou, dozens of people came to another square in the manor.
The square is well prepared and has everything needed for a variety of skill demonstrations.
The thin man glanced around and couldn't move his eyes away.
Huo Xiu took a look and found that it was the costume of a theater troupe, and couldn't help but curl his lips.
"My subordinate Mai, a rope is enough."
This is a born actor...
Sighing secretly, he continued to scan, his brows gradually Frowned.
"With professional tools, they perform better, but His Majesty relies on just one mouth..."
Thinking like this, Lao Gou spoke.
“The rules are a little different in the second round of assessment.”
After hearing the words, everyone calmed down and listened quietly.
Lao Gou continued: "Those who successfully pass the assessment will be employed. In addition to rewards, they will also receive wages. Those who fail do not need to leave. They have one more chance, but this opportunity is not limited to the directors. …”
Everyone understood.
The failed person has a chance to be resurrected by practicing various skills provided by Lao Gou. If he can pass the assessment, he will be successfully hired.
"Your Majesty, in this round of assessment, others have external help, I'm afraid..."
Before Huo Xiu finished his worried words, Lao Gou raised the shadow stone.
"King Qin, you come first."
When Huo Xiu heard this, his heart jumped even more.
"Is this specifically aimed at His Majesty?"
Everyone also understood what Lao Gou meant and couldn't help but rejoice in his misfortune.
“In the last round, this guy managed to trick him with the help of the thin man!”
“This round, I’ll catch him directly from the source!”
"Hehe, let's see how he plays..."
...
Qin Moju chuckled and said: "You ask me to come, and I will come? Is a fan worthy of talking to me?" Please check what my talent is, what are you talking about with me?”
Everyone was struck by lightning.
Lao Gou also opened his mouth wide, and after a long time he came to his senses. His consciousness swept over Qin Moju, and he said speechlessly: "I checked, five spiritual roots, no cultivation, just a mortal."
Hearing this, everyone covered their faces and wiped away tears. The thin man was so happy that he turned over dozens of times without stopping.
“This is over!”
Huo Xiu felt like the world was spinning.
It’s okay if you fail the assessment, the key point is...
“Your Majesty is going to be eliminated like this. As a witness who witnessed it with my own eyes, how will I live the rest of my life?”
In panic, Qin Moju's voice sounded.
"Hee hee, I didn't scare you, okay, I'll be the first one." Hee hee?
Everyone’s eyes dropped.
The first time Huo Xiu burst out laughing, he suffered internal injuries and retrograde qi and blood!
"Your Majesty is really a spring body and a leech's waist, and he is the best in bending and stretching!"
Lao Gou came to his senses after a while.
"You're playing like this, right..."
He felt complicated.
If you want to say that the other person is swearing, it seems like you are swearing.
But when the opponent's skills are taken into account, the opponent seems to be taking an assessment.
"In short, during the assessment, he scolded me..."
After thinking for a while, he said calmly: "To be decided, the next one."
Surprisingly Not eliminated?
Huo Xiu felt joy falling from the sky. Seeing that Qin Moju wanted to try harder, he hurriedly pulled him back.
"Your Majesty, I really have you!"
Qin Moju was still not satisfied: "I have not done all my work. I will add one more sentence later..."
"Okay, okay, Your Majesty. At this height, he must be given a certain amount of reaction time. If the time is short, he will not be able to understand the essence..."
After convincing Qin Moju, the two of them began to watch again.
“Damn, you’re right, with these objects, the level of their skill display has improved a lot...”
Huo Xiu narrowed his eyes, looked at it, and... cursed everyone present.
When the thin man came on the field, he even considered becoming a referee in the underworld.
"Your Majesty can fail, but a thin man can never succeed!"
That is to say, Your Majesty wants to win an open and fair victory, hey...
This time the assessment has fewer people, but it is more time-consuming. many.
An hour later, the results came out.
Twenty-two people were successfully hired, and Slender Man was among them.
Eleven losers.
To be determined, one.
Watching Lao Gou leave, Huo Xiu's heart became anxious again.
Seeing this, Qin Moju comforted him: "It doesn't matter, I'm sure of it."
"Old minister, I naturally believe in your majesty, and even if you fail, you still have another chance..."
"I don't need it."
The thin man came over again, with murderous intent in his eyes, and charged playfully.
"Are you able to take a gamble?" The thin man said with a faint smile, "I'll bet on your two spiritual stones."
Huo Xiu said with a smile: "Your Excellency has nothing to offer, except..."
The skinny man tightened his thighs at Huo Xiu's gaze, and sneered: "You still want to get ahead by relying on your words? From now on? From now on, I will be a member of the Xu family. I will kneel down and admit my mistake wisely, otherwise..."
Just as he said that, Lao Gou returned, with six more second-level monks beside him.
Before anyone approached, he announced: "King Qin, failed."
The thin man snorted, straightened his back, shook his head and walked away in disdain.
Huo Xiu's heart thumped and he didn't dare to look up.
"Your Majesty, it's because they don't know the goods..."
Qin Moju said nothing, his heart was filled with mixed emotions.
"Staying here in the county seems to be considered a success?"
"But if I fail the assessment, how can I get close to the Xu family even if I enter the city?"
"With Huo Xiu alone, I'm afraid even the Xu Mansion won't be able to break in..."
"Good things take a long time..."
...
All kinds of thoughts finally gathered together For one.
Driven by this thought, he and eleven other people stood in front of Lao Gou.
Huo Xiu looked at His Majesty's back and felt uncomfortable.
"If I had learned more acrobatics on weekdays, I wouldn't have let Your Majesty..."
The bitterness can be suppressed, but the pressure has also increased a lot.
"It is so difficult to enter a city, let alone assassinate..."
Forget about assassinating Xu Baoer!
How to enter Xu Mansion?
How to approach Xu Baoer?
"That is to say, His Majesty and I are very advanced in cultivation. If we change to other body refiners, we might be discovered as soon as we enter the city..."
While the thought passed by, I also The word Shen Qingyun was brought out.
Huo Xiu's heart moved, and he shook his head bitterly.
"Even if Xiao Shen accidentally became a monk, it would be too hard to work in Beijun..."
Hearing Lao Gou's voice, he quickly drove away his distracting thoughts and squinted his eyes.
"You only have one chance, so cherish it."
Lao Gou waved his hand, and the six monks came forward and sat cross-legged.
As the spiritual power in the body circulates, and in conjunction with the kneading techniques, six small shadow formations burst out with spiritual light.
The spiritual light gathered and evolved into a transparent light curtain.
The light curtain is four feet in diameter.
"Later, various skills will be presented in the light curtain. After watching, choose one or more, practice for three days, and then take the assessment..."
Introduction, old man Gou glanced at Qin Moju, who was silent.
"My personal suggestion is, just choose one. Skills are more expensive than finesse. Okay, let's get started."
After connecting to the image stone, the six light curtains changed.
Twelve people, two per person, do not affect each other.
Qin Moju took a deep breath, his eyes burning.
When the light screen cleared, Huo Xiu also came closer. Before he could speak, his mouth opened wide.
“My day!”
In the light curtain, a person appeared, his face covered.
Even if you cover your face, you can't hide it from the two big guys who are proficient in body training!
“This is... a man?”
“Your Majesty, old minister, I have never seen such a charming man!”
“I don’t even care about thin people. Killing Heart, I didn’t expect...Eh? I want to learn his skills?”
"Your Majesty, there is no place for me to stay here. I have my own place to stay. Let's go!"
...
Before the two of them had time to run, the man in the light curtain started to jump. .
The first one to bear the brunt is naturally Mei.
The two of them were tolerant, and they didn’t vomit after reading half of it.
In front of the five light screens next door, people vomited all over the floor.
As soon as Lao Gou took a look at this state, he knew that it was not the material for flirting. As soon as the scene changed, it changed to the next song.
Huo Xiu took a look and asked doubtfully: "Why don't we change it?"
"You haven't vomited yet," Lao Gou said lightly, "Maybe it's a piece of material."
Huo Xiu was so angry that the people around him were so angry that their buttocks were sticking out, and a trace of righteous blood rushed over...
"Spit up!" Huo Xiu pointed at someone and shouted.
Lao Gou thought for a while and brought this person to the fifth light screen.
The king and his ministers looked at each other, gritting their teeth and continuing to look at their own charms.
"Your Majesty, it is all the incompetence of the old ministers that has caused Your Majesty..."
"No problem, it is never a shame to endure humiliation and bear the burden!"
"Your Majesty has a lot of people, but I really... hate this thief, it's so unethical!"
"Speaking of this, after asking around, it's rare for me to be tempted to do justice for heaven."
>"Leave it to me..."
...
Finally finished watching Mei...
Next is subject three.
Huo Xiu wished he could pluck out his eyeballs and wash them.
Qin Moju saw this: "You don't have to look, just stay out of the way."
"Old minister, please retire."
A whole hour passed...
The other eleven people all chose their talents to practice individually, but Qin Moju remained motionless.
"So addicted?"
Lao Gou stepped forward in confusion, but saw that the focus of King Qin's sight was not on the light screen at all, and Hun'er didn't know where he went.
"Ahem, how's the selection going?"
Huo Xiu stepped forward and said angrily: "You still have to choose? It's simply insulting..."
"Well," Qin Moju interrupted, "I have my own opinion on this matter."
"But...hey."
Huo Xiu sighed and stepped back.
He didn’t want to review the song and dance he just watched.
But Qin Moju was clearly determined to give up...
"I don't know which one your Majesty will choose..."
Fuck grandma!
"Although I haven't finished reading it, I can't choose any one!"
Huo Xiu gritted his teeth and felt anxious. After a while, Qin Moju returned.
The emperor and his ministers looked at each other. Huo Xiu's eyes were red and he did not dare to say anything.
"If you break His Majesty's heart, I will definitely bear the blame... But why do I want to know so much?"
My damn curiosity!
Huo Xiu doesn’t ask.
Qin Moju didn’t say anything.
The situation between the two is like a wife going out to have sex and being caught by her husband when she comes home, but you don’t say anything and I don’t say anything, and don’t even mention it.
Embarrassing as it is, we still have to live together as partners.
"Next, Huo Xiu..."
"The old minister is here."
"You will collect news in the city."
"The old minister obeys Order, veteran... go now.”
Watching Huo Xiu disappear without a trace, Qin Moju's expression gradually became complicated.
"Fortunately, only Huo Xiu came. What if..."
He had a narrow escape from the fate of Chu and Han, and he had no regrets.
After watching Teacher Lu’s dozens of songs and dances, he regretted it.
“But what does that say?” Qin Moju’s eyes suddenly became firm, “Those who cannot defeat me will eventually make me stronger! Teacher Lu... Congratulations on becoming my true Rival! ”
While I was thinking about it, Lao Gou came to the door.
"Ready, let's go."
The two chatted while walking.
"King Qin, I am very optimistic about you."
"Yes."
"This singing and dancing is Teacher Lu's unique skill, and it can only be taught to you."
Huh?
Qin Moju couldn't move his feet: "Just... I am the only candidate?"
Lao Gou smiled and said: "Looking at the bright side, wouldn't it be bad if there were no competitors?"
>
Qin Moju suppressed the loud retreat in his heart and stepped forward with difficulty.
One day passed.
Huo Xiu, who went out to inquire about the news, quietly returned.
When he learned that Qin Moju was in the small yard behind the manor, he subconsciously went there and stopped again when he was halfway there.
"Will your Majesty die or me?"
Sighing heavily, Huo Xiu looked up and was startled again.
"What's the point of erecting such a high pole in a small courtyard?"
