Chapter 10 The Heart Is Sinister
"Brother Wang, I don't know what Li asked me to do, how did Brother Wang do it?"
Deep in the palace, a man in an elegant dress, holding a folding fan in his hand, looked at the young master in the palace with a smile.
"Please rest assured Brother Li, I have found a slave. As long as he solves his secret, this matter will be unknown to all, and Brother Li will be able to enter the National Academy safely."
"Haha, then I will thank Brother Wang. I'll respect you for a cup!"
At this time, Li Xiao was resting in the royal palace.
Why does the young master of this royal family want to enter the National Academy? Is it really just that he wants multiple slaves?
Li Xiao was a little puzzled, and he was extremely strange when he was drawing the deed just now. He didn't need to lay his hands on the cover and just sign a name at will. This was the first time Li Xiao saw this.
The name he signed was Li San, of course he wrote it casually. Obviously, the person who saw Li Xiao painted the contract didn't care. After signing, he brought Li Xiao to the house and left without saying anything.
All of this seems extremely strange, as if there is some conspiracy against oneself. With his family background, there is really no place worth targeting. The only possibility is above the quota of the National Academy.
Early the next morning, someone brought Li Xiao a bowl of rice and ordered him to finish it quickly and then go to see the young master.
Li Xiao looked at the food in the bowl. Although they were all vegetarian, compared to the foods he ate at Lao Yuan’s house over the past year, they were really delicious. He quickly ate the rice bowl and was quickly eaten up.
He wiped his mouth with unsatisfactory intentions. Mr. Yang had already appeared at the door, looking at Li Xiao with a vicious look, and even a cruel sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Seeing this, Li Xiao was secretly alert in his heart, knowing that there would definitely be no good things when he went to the National Academy this time.
"I can't get up yet! The young master has arrived at the front door. I have to report to the National Academy today. What are you doing here for a long time?"
Mr. Yang raised his voice, and Li Xiao looked at him coldly without any dispute.
Following Master Yang Wu to the front yard, he found that Master Wang and many servants were waiting there, and several of them even had the same outfit as Master Yang Wu, and obviously their status was not inferior to him.
"Young Master."
Mr. Yang respectfully bowed, but when he saw Li Xiao, he didn't react, and immediately wanted to whip it down!
"Okay, I don't know you won't blame me, but this is the only time. Li San, you must remember the rules in the future, let's go."
The young master of the Wang family waved his hand and the carriage began to move. Li Xiao and Yang Wu each assigned a red horse to follow the carriage. When the horse was about to graduate from high school, Li Xiao rode once in a grassland in Hebei.
Although he was not very skilled in riding a horse, Li Xiao could still control the horse to move forward slowly and not run wildly.
Mr. Yang did not expect that Li Xiao could control the horse, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes. However, the next moment, he was covered by the cold and cold light.
There are not many people following the Wang family. In addition to Mr. Yang, there are two martial artists who are driving carriages, plus one Li Xiao. This time, he entered the National Academy and had five places.
The National Academy is in Donglan City, very far from Luoyang City. Li Xiao and others traveled for three days before reaching the gate of Donglan City.
"Young Master, Donglan City has arrived. But Young Master, the clothes Li San is wearing are torn and dirty, which is insulting my Wang family's moral integrity. Why not give him a piece of clothes worn by the slaves? How can you see?"
Mr. Yang smiled coldly and said respectfully to the young master in the carriage.
"Okay, then give it to him."
After receiving the order from the young master, Mr. Yang narrowed his eyes slightly. Then he took out a set of clothes from the bag he brought and threw them to Li Xiao.
"Put this on me and change your beggar's outfit to avoid insulting my royal family's prestige!"
Mr. Yang looked at Li Xiao coldly. The clothes were not patched and were intact, much better than Li Xiao's linen clothes. However, after Li Xiao opened his clothes, he immediately became angry!
I saw that there was a dog embroidered in the center of the clothes!
Think about how people would be ridiculed if they put this outfit on their body?
"What do you think! You are a slave of the Wang family, so you are naturally a dog of the Wang family! All slaves have to wear such clothes as soon as they enter the Wang family. If you don't wear them, hum..."
Mr. Yang saw Li Xiao’s performance during this period and was patient and did not express his feelings, so he had to insult Li Xiao well.
"Sher-"
But what Mr. Yang did not expect was that Li Xiao was so straightforward and tore his clothes into two pieces!
"Bold, you're so brave! You dare to break the clothes of the King of the Rings Palace. You're really looking for death!"
Seeing Li Xiao tearing the dog clothes he had taken, Master Yang was furious, and shook the whip in his hand and threw it towards Li Xiao!
"Ba"
Li Xiao grabbed the whip, and the two looked at each other, exerting force at the same time, and all the horses fell down. They turned over and stood firmly on the ground.
"Boy, you dare to be arrogant and seek death if you have this skill!"
Mr. Yang Wu grabbed Li Xiao and Li Xiao had a deep understanding of Mr. Yang Wu's move. He even tore off a piece of flesh from the back of his hand, and he was extremely vicious!
"Stop!"
The young master's lazy voice came from the carriage. Master Yang was shocked when he heard this and stopped quickly:
"Young Master."
"Give Li San a set of clothes for the slaves of the royal palace."
The words of the young master of the Wang family contained irresistible majesty. Mr. Yang shuddered and quickly responded.
With a cold snorting, Master Yang Wu took out another set of clothes from the bag and threw them to Li Xiao casually. The style of this set of clothes is the same as the set of clothes, except that the word "dog" is written in that set of clothes, but the word "slave" is written in the middle of the set of clothes.
Li Xiao knew that this was already a concession from the young master of the royal family. Now he didn't have the right to care so much, so he put this set of clothes on his body. From the temptation just now, Li Xiao confirmed his thoughts. These guys really need him if they have something to do, otherwise they would never accommodate themselves as servants.
Following the carriage from the royal palace, Li Xiao and others entered Donglan City.
The few people found a top-notch tavern, picked a few rooms, and went back to their rooms to rest.
Li Xiao was also assigned to a high-quality guest room, but he had no intention of sleeping. Now the young master of the royal palace is using himself. Since the royal palace is qualified to send someone to the National Academy for examination, why do you still have to find yourself without any background?
It seems that some people want to join the National Academy, but they cannot enter directly. They have a clean life experience and no power. Even if they are thrown away or even killed, I believe no one will care.
In this way, the answer seems to be coming out.
Li Xiao thought about what he noticed just now. He clearly had only five people on his side, so why did he call him six guest rooms?
A sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, and Li Xiao, who had an answer in his heart, kept silent and quietly waited for the night to pass.
The next day, after Li Xiao had a meal, he was taken to the road by Master Yang and gathered in the inn with the young master of the royal palace and two martial artists.
This time Li Xiao did not see the sixth person. Li Xiao and the three martial artists carried the sedan chairs, and the young master of the royal family sat in the middle and walked towards the center of Donglan City.
At this moment, many people gathered in Donglan City, including many luxurious young men and beautiful ladies, sitting in sedan chairs or carriages, waiting for inspection.
Li Xiao and his men were ranked last with the Wang family. As Lao Yuan said, the Wang family was indeed in Luoyang City, but there was not much power in other places. They were honestly ranked behind, waiting for routine inspections from the National Academy.
After waiting for about half an hour, it was finally the turn of the Wang family and his group.
After inspecting Li Xiao and his men, the man guarding the gate was merciless and asked the young master of the Wang family to get out of the sedan chair and undergo the inspection.
"Li San, why don't you serve the young master to get out of the sedan chair?"
Mr. Yang kicked Li Xiao, causing the unprepared Li Xiao to almost hit the sedan chair and couldn't help but glar.
"Enough, this is the National Academy, no noise! Li San, you lie down and let me get out of the sedan chair."
The voice of the young master of the Wang family came from the sedan chair, and Li Xiao's eyes were cold. He could kneel on his parents and elders, why should he bend his knees to an outsider?
"Young Master, I am sorry to be unable to obey my orders. I worship the heaven and earth on my knees and my parents. Apart from that, I will never kneel down to others."
Li Xiao's performance finally made the Wang family master in the sedan angry:
"Okay, you don't worship others! A little slave, still want to make a fuss?! Come on, break his legs!"
The three martial artists received the order and forced them toward Li Xiao.
"Slowly, this is the National Academy, not the place for you to fight. If you want to take the exam, get out of the sedan chair and get inspected immediately, otherwise you can leave!"
The man guarding the gate showed no mercy to the young master of the Wang family. After a few breaths, the young master of the Wang family, who had a slightly blue face, had to walk out of the sedan chair, glanced at Li Xiao coldly, and began to undergo examination.
"Okay, you guys can go in, next one!"
The man guarding the gate just finished speaking, and the young master of the Wang family seemed to suddenly wake up:
"Oh by the way, look at my memory. Brother, my treatment medicine was left in the inn. I hope I can send my men to get it back."
The young master of the Wang family smiled, but the man guarding the door looked cold:
"No! Since you have been inspected, you must enter the front hall of the National Academy for assessment and no one can leave!"
Hearing this sentence, the young master of the Wang family was a little surprised at first, and then laughed.
"Brother Tai, I am Wang Qi from the Wang family in Luoyang City. These are some items in my house. They are just a small thing. I don't respect me if I give it to my brother Tai."
Wang Qi, the prince of the Wang family, walked up and stuffed a crystal clear jade pendant into the hands of the man guarding the gate, which immediately made the other party feel much more relieved.
"I'm not hiding my health. If I don't have medicine, it will affect my performance today. I'll regret it for my whole life. I'd like to ask my brother to do it for a convenience."
The man guarding the gate seemed to have thought for a moment before saying:
"It's understandable that Brother Wang is discomfortable. Let's do this. I'll give your men a stick of incense to quickly retrieve the medicine and then take the assessment. Once it's outdated, you can only do it for business and get rid of the qualification immediately!"
"Thank you, brother Tai, for your great kindness, Wang can't repay you!"
As he said that, Wang Qi turned his head and looked straight at Li Xiao and Yang Wushu:
"You two, hurry up to the inn and bring my medicine back. You must be in an incense stick of time. Do you remember?"
"Yes, Master!"
