Chapter 98 Princess Ningyue

Mr. Hu and the coachman had not walked far yet, so they could naturally hear the loud noise behind them.

The two turned around, their eyes filled with disbelief at first, and then anger.

The driver stepped forward and shouted:

"Stop, stop now! Who gave you the guts to touch the Hu Mansion's carriage? "

A girl of about fifteen or sixteen years old, wearing a red dress and a black brocade belt around her waist, came out. She was tall and had black hair that was not tied into a bun but tied high behind her head.

Her skin was a little dark, but her facial features were delicate, especially her pair of handsome sword-like eyebrows, which were unforgettable.

She put the whip back to her waist, lowered her head to adjust her wrist guard, and said nonchalantly:

"Reward for speaking rudely."

The three men stepped forward, two of them forced the driver to kneel on the ground, and the other raised his hand and hit him.

After just two pulls, the man's teeth and blood flew out of his mouth.

The driver cried and shouted incoherently, "Sir, save me."

Mr. Hu rushed up in a rage, his relatively fair face distorted with anger.

"You, who are you!? Do you know who I am?" He roared with his teeth bared.

In the entire Jiangzhou city, even the government office had to give him some face. How dare this little girl who came out of nowhere hit his people?

Is this a servant? This is his face, the face of the entire Hu family, and the face of the Minister of War!

The woman in red was not afraid at all. She walked up to Mr. Hu and smiled like a female devil.

"You are just a nephew of a minor official, yet you dare to bark in front of this princess? It seems you want to ask for a reward too."

"Princess?" Mr. Hu was stunned for a long time, his face changed, and he said in a trembling voice, "You are...Princess Ningyue...Murong Jing?"

Oh my god! How did I run into this plague god?

"Are you worthy of calling me by my name?"

Murong Jing raised her foot and kicked Master Hu in the stomach. He flew backwards and fell to the ground.

"Thank you, Princess, for the beating. Thank you, Princess, for the beating!"

Master Hu fell to the ground and didn't dare to get up. He knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Murong Jing, begging for mercy.

"roll."

Mr. Hu ran outside, tumbling and crawling, without even caring about the driver who was beaten half to death.

It was not until I ran back home that I was thankful for having escaped death.

Princess Ningyue was the second daughter of Murong Zhongyi, the King of Zhenbei. She grew up in the army and only wore men's clothes. It was said that she had a bad temper and killed people without hesitation. She would cut off people's tongues and eyes if they disagreed with her. She had a lot of military merits at a young age, and even the emperor praised her highly.

Moreover, when she beat people, she never called it beating, she called it "rewarding beating", and the person being beaten had to thank her while being beaten. According to people familiar with the matter, the louder the person shouted "thank you", the greater the chance of escape, and today it seems that what she said is true.

Not to mention this lady herself, even if her uncle, Minister Hu, came, she wouldn't be able to afford to offend him!

But shouldn't she be following King Zhenbei to guard the border? Why did she come to Jiangzhou City?

Young Master Hu touched his nose and eyes, and fortunately all his organs were still there, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

It’s so good to be alive!

…

Murong Jing smashed Mr. Hu's carriage, and the students who came to see the list were finally able to pass through the carriage wall and enter the Imperial Examination Hall.

At the same time, Zhu Lan also learned the identity of Princess Ningyue from Zhu Yuanou.

She was recalling in her mind whether there was any information related to Princess Ning Yue in the original plot, when she heard Qiao Youyou calling her name. It turned out that everyone had arrived.

A few gong sounds were heard, and two clerks walked out of the Imperial Examination Hall. One of them opened the list in his hand and read out the top ten candidates for this examination.

"The first place in this examination is Zhu Lan from Longchang Academy in Zhaoping County, Jiangzhou City!"

Zhu Lan stood in the crowd and listened. She wanted to keep a low profile, but unexpectedly Qiao Youyou screamed, hugged her and cheered:

"Ahhh! I knew Lanlan was the best!"

Qiao Youyou's voice immediately attracted the attention of the people around her.

All kinds of eyes stayed on Zhu Lan, some were envious, some were jealous, and some were shocked.

"What!? The top candidate in this year's college entrance examination is actually a girl who looks like she just came of age?"

"Zhu Lan? Why does this name sound familiar?

Hey, wasn't the top scorer in the county exam a few years ago also called this name?"

"Alas, what kind of world is this? I take the imperial examination every year, but I fail every year.

Now a little girl can be the first in the case, but I am still... I, I will not live any longer!"

Zhu Qingyan, who was in the crowd, couldn't help feeling sad. He didn't expect that Zhu Lan would take the first place again.

If it were in the past, she might have attributed it to the difference in their status, always feeling that Zhu Lan had more resources than herself.

But it was not until she was scolded by Zhu Lan last time that she finally had to face herself.

For those obscure ancient texts, ordinary students may have to recite them a hundred or eighty times before they can remember them. Even if I am considered to be gifted, I still need to read them through ten times.

But she had seen it with her own eyes last time, the teacher took out an article written by a predecessor, and Zhu Lan only read it once and was able to recite it word for word!

Zhu Qingyan also admitted that some of the insights she mentioned in the article were far beyond his reach.

So what kind of monster is this guy?!

Just as Zhu Qingyan's thoughts were churning, she heard her own name.

"Sixth place, Zhu Qingyan."

Zhu Qingyan frowned slightly at first, and after a moment he smiled with relief.

Never mind. Now it seems that Zhu Lan isn’t that annoying after all.

Just because I can't beat her now doesn't mean I won't be able to beat her in the future.

There is ample time!

The clerk only read out the names of the top ten, and the rest had to look for their names on the list themselves.

Zhu Lan came to the list and met Liang Zhou and others, and everyone congratulated her.

In fact, they were not surprised that Zhu Lan won the first place in the case, and even felt that it was reasonable.

After all, Zhu Lan's talent in studying was like a cheat. They had seen it many years ago and were deeply aware of one thing -

Don't compare your grades with Zhu Lan's, or you will become unlucky.

"Yeah! I saw my name!" Xu Shiming clenched his fists, his face full of joy.

"Liang Zhou, I saw you. Hey, I passed the exam too!" Zhao Sicheng also shouted.

After a while, everyone found their names on the list.

"It looks like everyone did very well in the exam this time. How about we go out for a meal to celebrate?" Liang Zhou suggested, and everyone immediately agreed.

"Chaoyang, what's wrong with you?" Xu Shiming saw Gu Chaoyang still looking at the list, patted his shoulder and asked.

"I, I seem to have failed the exam."

Everyone hurriedly looked for Gu Chaoyang's name, but after so many eyes searched for a long time, they really couldn't find it.

"Oh, I knew it." Gu Chaoyang sighed.

The day before the college entrance examination, he went to play a game of Cuju. As a result, the excessive amount of exercise caused him to suffer from insomnia at night. He almost fell asleep during the exam, and couldn't even remember the questions after the exam.

The air fell into silence for a moment, and everyone didn't know how to comfort him.

Gu Chaoyang suddenly looked up and burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, do you think this little difficulty can defeat me?

I am the man who will lead the battles in the future!

No one can make me lose unless I don’t want to win!”

Gu Chaoyang clenched his fists, his eyes burning with fighting spirit.

It’s just failing once. At worst, you can try again next year!

"You are all here!"

Ding Xiaoqiu saw them in the crowd, squeezed through the crowd and walked over, asking them if they could help find his name.

Everyone looked around the list again and shook their heads solemnly.

Ding Xiaoqiu is not on the list.

"Huh, that shouldn't be the case!" Ding Xiaoqiu touched the back of his head, looking confused.

"I had prepared for the topic of 'Loyal Advice' this time, and even asked the teacher to help me look it over. How could I fail the exam..."

Unexpectedly, when the others heard this, the expressions on their faces suddenly became strange.

Qiao Youyou took a deep breath, patted Ding Xiaoqiu on the shoulder, and said in a very heavy tone:

“…Xiao Ding, I know this is a bit cruel to you.

But is there a possibility that the topic this time is not "faithful advice" but "faithful faith"? "

Ding Xiaoqiu was frozen in place. He only glanced at the question and thought he had guessed it right. He was overjoyed and started writing without thinking.

As a result, he he he read the word wrong! ???
