"In that case, let's talk slowly. Don't rush back, you two. You can have two years to enjoy yourselves in Dasheng."
She can't count on the South, and as for the North, she won't be a Xiao if she doesn't drive them back.
If you're going to drag it out, why not just leave it all there and let it drag on?
Xiao Zhixing stood up and placed his palm on the table. "You two must stay in my Great Sheng for two years."
If someone dares to leave early, she dares to bury them halfway.
Such a good hostage, it would be such a waste not to keep him.
At least two years is a crucial period for her to make her plans.
With a series of cracking sounds, the long, imposing desk in front of them crumbled into dust, covering their faces with dirt.
Both sides turned ashen-faced and coughed violently, unable to suppress their fear.
Looking at the empty space in front of him, Da Sheng felt instantly refreshed.
Xiao Zhixing intimidated the enemy and left the Court of Colonial Affairs. Bai Mei returned with the news, saying, "I heard that Marquis Ping is ill, almost like a madman, unable to speak and with convulsions in his limbs."
Xiao Zhixing curled his lips, "No wonder I didn't see him today. I've heard that obese people are most susceptible to evil winds. He's so fat, it was only a matter of time."
In the afternoon, she planned to invite everyone to a farewell dinner at Fuyuan Restaurant. As classmates, even if they might become rivals in the future, they would still have some camaraderie at this time.
Unexpectedly, during lunch, Hongmei reported some interesting things that had happened outside.
"His Majesty has ordered that all of your exam answer sheets be printed into booklets and sold throughout the land. Each booklet is thick and costs only ten coins. They are selling like hotcakes in Shengjing City."
Xiao Zhixing: No, what do Zhao Yunqi and the Emperor System mean? Isn't this just giving me free publicity?
Is there really such a good thing?
She didn't believe it.
Not long after, she heard the Emperor System say dejectedly, "If I had known this method, I wouldn't have used it. It's just wasting Xiao Zhixing's reputation."
This was originally intended to boost the candidate's reputation and let the world see that the crown prince they chose was not an incompetent fool, so that there would be less commotion when they announced the plan later.
They just didn't expect Xiao Zhixing to interfere and take the lead, and now they've ended up doing all the work for her.
But they had to keep going, and their chosen target needed a good reputation.
However, there can be no exceptions. If it's to be sold, everyone's answers must be included and sold together, otherwise it would be too obvious.
The Emperor System has its own unspeakable suffering.
Zhao Yunqi seemed unwilling to speak to it and remained silent.
Xiao Zhixing quickly received a copy.
The "Collection of Examination Papers of the Gentleman's Academy" is bound together according to each examination. The same questions have different answers, which can intuitively show the differences between each person.
Xiao Zhixing almost burst out laughing; he was sitting at home when good news came out of nowhere.
She could already foresee that her literary talent would soon surpass her martial arts talent.
In this world, literature is still superior to martial arts, and she really wanted to thank the Emperor System.
Just as she expected, when she went to Fuyuan Restaurant in the afternoon, every scholar she met who recognized her would bow and greet her, calling her Prince Yuansheng.
She only rose to fame when she wrote the four lines by Zhang Zai, and now she has truly entered the ranks of renowned literary figures.
Xiao Zhixing was in an extremely good mood.
Seeing the old shopkeeper's face brighten up, he asked, "Has the rest arrived?"
"Your Highness, we've arrived! The gentlemen have been waiting for you." The shopkeeper's change of address was smooth.
Xiao Zhixing went upstairs and entered the top-tier private room. Everyone stood up and greeted him, "Your Highness."
Xiao Zhixing was kind and approachable. "No need for formalities, please sit down."
After she sat down, she smiled and raised her glass, saying, "We are fortunate to be classmates, and now we are about to part ways and embark on long journeys. May you all have a smooth journey ahead and return safely."
"May we all strive together, though separated by a thousand miles, as if riding the same wind. When we achieve our goals and return home, I, the king, will drink and laugh with you for thirty thousand rounds. Come, drink this cup to the last drop, and send my best wishes to the east wind!"
The girls couldn't help but tear up, the boys sighed, and everyone raised their glasses, "Thank you, Your Highness!"
[Yellow comment: The Kunpeng spreads its wings and soars high, leaping 30,000 li in a single bound. Congratulations to them!]
[Red barrage: The winds of war rage on the Yellow River, horses soar through the sky, a young man in a green robe dances—just like in those days.]
[Green comment: Uh, I can't write poetry, so I'll just say "Have a safe journey."]
Before leaving, everyone was busy saying goodbye to relatives and friends and preparing their luggage, so the banquet ended in a hurry and everyone went home.
Xiao Zhixing also had to keep an eye on people packing Xiao Yuanshan's luggage, "They would write to me every five days to inform me of the travel itinerary and location."
Xiao Yuanshan nodded obediently, "Okay, okay, Dad will remember."
"Here are all kinds of pills, for healing wounds, detoxifying, and treating colds. Keep them close to your body; they were all made by Granny Xue herself."
"Yes, I will definitely keep it with me at all times."
Xiao Zhixing turned his head and said, "Alright, I'm going back to rest now."
“Daughter…” Xiao Yuanshan called out from behind her, “Dad will be back soon and will go to Beizhou to be with you.”
Xiao Zhixing didn't turn around, but smiled and said, "No, I'm perfectly fine with nobody bothering me. Just have fun."
He lifted his foot and left.
Bai Feng silently stayed by her side.
Black Tiger diligently tracked down the mysterious man.
"Xiao Xing, I've found quite a few treasures."
"Really? What treasure?"
"A super jade mine brimming with spiritual energy, hehe, I'll move it all back to my space. This is the most spiritually potent thing in this plane."
"Alright, move them all in. I also want to improve my skills."
Level 2 of the Heavenly Rank is a bit low; only the peak of Level 3 provides a sense of security, and anything above the Heavenly Rank offers even greater security.
Back at Qingluan Courtyard, looking at the busy maids and nannies, she suddenly felt a bit idle.
I noticed Bai Su holding the clothes.
Xiao Zhixing nodded. Xuemei said that this girl didn't plan to go to Beizhou and wanted to stay in Shengjing and live a quiet life.
