After announcing the final procedures of the Gentleman's Academy assessment, Zhao Yunqi began to talk about the competition among the four kingdoms.
"Yuansheng, you are in charge of this competition among the four kingdoms. You must make sure to show the might of our Great Sheng."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Then came the usual handling of miscellaneous tasks in the six departments.
Zhao Yunqi called out the gentlemen from the Gentlemen's Courtyard to respond to the question. He saw that they all answered fluently and had considerable knowledge. Even the young ladies performed brilliantly. He nodded in satisfaction repeatedly.
The court was unusually harmonious, after all, there were their own children among them, and their performance in participating in political discussions for the first time was acceptable.
They had to pretend to be reserved while secretly feeling smug, which was really hard for them.
After the court session ended, Xiao Zhixing invited everyone to Fuyuan Restaurant for a welcome dinner.
The restaurant is still the same restaurant, and the people are still the same people, only the owner has changed and the dishes have been updated quite a bit, including seafood from Dongzhou.
After several rounds of drinks, Xiao Zhixing asked, "Now that we're inspecting the thirteen prefectures together, where would you all like to begin?"
Li Jun said, "If we set off after the New Year, when it is freezing cold, we can go south first. The south is warm. We can go from Zhongzhou to Suzhou, then from Suzhou west through Haizhou, Huzhou, Yangzhou to Yunzhou, then north to Qingzhou, and then go to Xizhou or Xiazhou."
Others said they had no objections; going south in winter and spring would allow them to escape the cold.
If nothing unexpected happens on the road, they can travel to several northern states in the summer or autumn, which is the best time to see the scenery of the north and witness its charm.
Li Wenxiu was incredibly impatient, as if needles had grown in her buttocks. "You're not leaving until after the New Year? Can't you go earlier?"
She couldn't wait to set off; she was really looking forward to such a lively and exciting event.
Lin Rushu patted her little head, "You forgot, the prince is in charge of the competition among the four kingdoms, and he may also be an examiner for the spring imperial examination next year. He can only set off when he has free time."
Li Wenxiu gave an "oh" and shrugged her head.
Xiao Zhixing smiled and said, "Hey, how can I be the only one to handle this? The affairs of the Four Kingdoms Competition are complicated, and you all must come and help me."
She bluntly called out, "Li Wenxiu, you lead a few people to receive the guests from the three countries. I will have the officials from the Court of Colonial Affairs assist you."
"Huo Baijun, Xiong Abao, and Wanwan, you are responsible for maintaining order and security during the competition. This time, we don't need to trouble the brothers of the Imperial Guard. You can go to Xiao Family Army to find people and prepare the participants and teams for the martial arts competition."
"Liu Zizai, you take a few people and be responsible for planning the process and arranging the order of appearance."
"The remaining ladies will follow me; you will all serve as my assistants and leaders."
"Also, Wenbi might need your help. I look forward to your rampage."
Zhao Xianyin pouted and said coquettishly, "Is Your Highness really good at shirking your responsibilities and just going to be a hands-off manager?"
"No, no, I am simply giving you the opportunity to make good use of your talents and to provide you with practical experience in contacting the Six Ministries. Come, each of you, punish yourselves with a cup of wine as a sign of respect to me."
Everyone couldn't help but laugh and toast her respectfully.
After the festivities were over, Xiao Zhixing led his faction back to the Zhenguo King's Mansion.
Having just had some alcohol, everyone switched to drinking tea.
Xiao Zhixing had the weapons he was going to give to Huo Baijun and the other two brought to them.
Mu Wan held the famous sword in her hand, unable to put it down.
Huo Baijun had already taken his precious sword and gone to fight Xiong Chumo.
Xiao Zhixing said to Lin Rushu and the others, "This competition is actually a contest between six countries because of the division of the Northern Barbarians into three. You all need to keep a close eye on things for me."
If possible, sow discord and divide the enemy; prioritize sowing discord over winning them over.
She also wanted to train their ability to analyze the national situation.
Several people nodded, eager to try.
With a prince standing behind them, they felt they could challenge the Six Ministries and overpower the Three Kingdoms!
[Yellow comment: The prince really spares no effort in training his subordinates. Tsk, when will my boss learn even a fraction of that?!]
Okay, here comes the complaining about the company and the boss again.
Xiao Zhixing discovered that ever since the three planes learned that this plane had changed, they had fallen into a state of depression and had not yet recovered.
The evidence is the significant reduction in the number of yellow third-dimension bullet comments.
It's strange that while the number of viewers remained the same and the number of bullet comments decreased, her faith in the idol increased.
We discussed the details with them, and before we knew it, it was evening.
Just as she finished practicing and turned off the live stream, wanting to rest.
The 170-point system suddenly started screaming frantically, "Help! Main system, help me!!"
Xiao Zhixing suddenly opened his eyes. Dao Zhan quickly connected with 170, but he only had time to take 170 away and didn't see what happened.
170 was on the verge of death, "Love... wants to destroy me..."
After speaking, the system went into hibernation.
Xiao Zhixing frowned. It seemed that Luo Wei had recovered? He hadn't expected him to be so ruthless, not even afraid that the system would backfire and damage his consciousness.
Keep 170 safe.
Xiao Zhixing didn't forward this information to the main system. This thing was already wary of Anqing Temple's techniques, so she didn't want to frighten it and make it feel cold inside, lest it refuse to bind to her in the future.
She pretended to be 170cm tall to appease him.
Xiao Zhixing contacted Bai Feng, "Go check on Luo Wei. Wasn't he dying? How could he still manage to kill the system?"
I was too busy and forgot to send someone to kill him.
Bai Feng immediately slipped out of the temporary palace of the Aite tribe and flew towards the northwest of the Northern Barbarians.
An hour later, Bai Feng said, "He did escape, but he couldn't escape my pursuit. Xiao Chi's men are also looking for him."
"Find the person, kill them immediately."
"Okay, I'll get on it right away!"
After giving Bai Feng her instructions, she simply meditated all night. An hour later, Bai Feng connected with her from the same perspective and said, "Look, the head has already been cut off."
Xiao Zhixing examined the head she was carrying closely, frowning. "No, it's not Luo Wei!"
Bai Feng froze, then rolled the head haphazardly into the snow water beside her a few times before pulling it up again. It was clearly the head of a young man.
Bai Feng was fooled because she was disguised and it was nighttime.
"It's Luo Xiuchuan!" Xiao Zhixing recognized him at a glance. He didn't expect him to be so loyal to Luo Wei, even willing to risk his life to cover for Luo Wei.
Bai Feng was furious. "How dare you lie to me!"
She flew back in a flash, determined to catch the person no matter what.
"Alright, you need to go back quickly."
Given Lowe's personality, he'll cause trouble sooner or later.
Bai Feng desperately tried to gather his strength, but had no choice but to fly back to the Aite Department while cursing.
Nothing was said that night, and the next day she led everyone to work on the matter of the four kingdoms vying for supremacy.
The temporary requisition of Junzi Academy as office space felt quite welcoming to everyone.
"Wenbi is to be placed in the Gentleman's Courtyard. Immediately contact the countries to inquire how many people they will send, so as to avoid being caught off guard and making last-minute arrangements."
"The martial arts competition will be held at the old camp of the Southern Jiangsu Army." That place is now her territory, and she can use it as she pleases.
She only gave them a general direction, leaving the specific details to them. There were precedents, so they could just follow the old methods for the arrangements and competitions. She believed they could do a great job.
That evening, a message came from the Ghost Guard in the Western Barbarians: "After escaping, Luo Wei was taken away by a man in black. That man is suspected to be at the peak of the third level of the Heavenly Rank, because he fought to a draw with Xiao Chi, who is at the peak of the Heavenly Rank."
