Seeing Zhuge Liang being pulled away by Lu, the surrounding Jinshi were in an uproar.
How could any servant dare to drag his master away like this?
Is it possible that we guessed wrong before? This is not a servant or servant, but his relatives and friends?
Others were surprised, but it was unacceptable to the short Jinshi.
"stop!"
He said angrily: "What do you mean? Why do you run away when you hear my brother's name?"
It was too late for everyone to fawn over Prime Minister Qin. How could anyone avoid him like a snake or a scorpion? The new scholars also felt that something was a little abnormal.
"Did you do something bad?"
The short Jinshi stepped forward to stop them.
Lu Bu glanced at him in surprise, but he didn't expect that this boy would guess the truth of the matter right away.
But guess what, he would never admit it.
"Get out of the way!"
Lu Bu looked down at him impatiently, wondering where this small figure dared to stand in front of him.
Unexpectedly, when the short Jinshi saw this, he felt that Lu Bu was guilty and refused to give in. He raised his head and shouted: "You can't take a step until my brother comes!"
"Ha~"
Lu Bu chuckled with unknown meaning and stretched out a big hand. Before the short Jinshi could react, his vision went dark and he grabbed his head and lifted him up.
Reading with rice balls
It's like an ordinary person grabbing a slightly larger apple.
"assistant!"
The two sturdy servants rushed up in anger. The master was being bullied in front of him. How could this be reasonable?
Although they rushed up quickly, Lu Bu's kicks made them fly back even faster.
He didn't bother the short Jinshi, and directly held his head and put him aside.
This man was almost scared to death. Even when Lu Bu put him down, he remained stunned and motionless.
But before Lu Bu and the others could leave, the new scholars around them became commotion again.
Just now everyone was shocked by Lu Bu's terrifying skills. He pinched people just like pinching chickens. Who wouldn't be scared after seeing this?
But it was also this terrifying skill that made the new scholars realize that something was wrong.
Someone with such skill cannot be an ordinary person, right? What does this person do? Why is he traveling with Zhuge Liang?
Combined with Zhuge Liang's hurried appearance just now, the new scholars had some inexplicable thoughts in their minds.
"Stop...stop! You...don't leave yet!"
A Jinshi raised his head tremblingly and took a timid step forward from the crowd.
But when he met Lu Bu's eyes, the courage he had finally accumulated dissipated, and he took this step back.
But this is a start after all, and other new scholars have gradually stepped forward. A large number of people does not necessarily mean that there is strength, but it will definitely make them bolder.
They did not target Lu Bu, but instead targeted Zhuge Liang in the rear.
"Mr. Wolong, are you being coerced?"
"That's right, you are Jinke Huiyuan. If you are threatened by this gangster... strong man, we will definitely help you!"
"If you are kidnapped, just blink..."
The sound was loud and courageous, and the new scholars held their necks high and howled.
But no matter how brave he was, he could only scream, but he didn't dare to get close to Lu Bu.
Faced with this situation, Lu Bu had a faint vein appearing on his brow, but he was not in a hurry to take action.
Although he is very nervous, he also knows that these new scholars are like powder keg and cannot be touched casually.
Otherwise, the little dwarf just now would never have been able to escape so easily.
Now that the new scholars are making a fuss, it is no longer suitable for Lu Bu to handle it.
Zhuge Liang cleared his throat and explained to the new scholars: "It's not coercion. I'm just walking with my friends. There are some things that need to be dealt with."
Zheng Guan and Yan Zhenqing on the side also came to their senses and explained to him: "Who dares to coerce the imperial court's new scholar?"
"Tomorrow we will go to the palace to be appointed officials. At this time, there is no way Huiyuan will be coerced."
The Xinke Jinshimen present thought that this was also the case.
If you continue to coerce people, will you still be able to coerce them tomorrow when the official appointment comes to the palace?
"Moreover, Brother Qingchen and I have also met with Huiyuan in the past few days. You are all worried."
With the assurance of these two people who often appeared in front of the scholars, everyone realized that they seemed to be overthinking it, and looked a little embarrassed.
"Thank you all anyway."
Zhuge Liang smiled at them and cupped his hands, expressing his appreciation: "I will drink with you all at the Enrong Banquet."
Only then did the new scholars beam with joy and responded one after another.
Even if they had some trivial unfamiliarity with Zhuge Liang before, it was insignificant now.
Although they have not officially entered the officialdom, the Jinshi have already become aware of the importance of connections.
Who is Zhuge Liang? Not only the Huiyuan of this department, but also the famous Mr. Wolong. Just look at the commotion that the elders in the court caused in the capital a while ago to find him.
No matter how naive a new scholar is, he will not regard himself and Zhuge Liang as people of the same world and level.
If we could really have a friendship with him, I'm afraid everyone would dream of it!
In the eyes of the Jinshi, Zhuge Liang, Zheng Guan and others left the Imperial Academy and left.
Qin Xi, who received the news soon, also rushed over and took away his younger brother.
The atmosphere on the carriage was a little tense. The short Jinshi seemed to be frightened by Lu Bu, and he still hadn't calmed down yet. He was sitting there alone and silent.
Qin Xi also sat in the carriage with his eyes straight, his face flashing from time to time.
Just after listening to the news reported by his subordinates, he heard that one of them was a strong man who was particularly good at fighting and easily defeated two strong servants. This gave Qin Xi a bad idea.
I always feel that the person I describe can vaguely match up with a person in my memory.
Until now, Qin Xi still feels pain in his face when he thinks of that person.
Phew~
He took a long breath, as if to let out the faint panic in his heart.
"Xiyong, where have Mr. Wolong and those people gone? Did you ask someone to follow them?"
Qin Xi turned to look at the clan brother beside him.
This person's name is Qin Hu and his courtesy name is Xiyong. His father and Qin Hui are cousins who came out of the fifth service.
The Qin family has a great business, so instead of rejecting such distant relatives, they are happy for these people to come closer to them.
After all, they are all employing people. Wouldn’t it be more reliable to use outsiders if you use your own relatives?
Qin Xi called out twice, and Qin Hu's eyes widened and he sat dumbly, as if he hadn't heard anything.
Seeing this, Qin Xi frowned slightly and stretched out his hand to push him. Qin Hu shook his body and then came back to his senses.
"Brother!"
He howled, hugged Qin Xi's arm, and shouted with tears in his nose: "I almost died, I almost didn't see you!"
"Relax and speak first!"
Qin Xi's face was full of disgust and he kept trying to pull it away, but in fact he was quietly relieved.
It turns out that I wasn’t the only one who was frightened, this guy was even worse than me... With such a bad look, I don’t know how he got into the Jinshi... Oh, no, I know, of course Qin Xi knew how he got into the Jinshi.
…
Qin Hu still held Qin Xi and was unwilling to let go. It seemed that he was really frightened.
Qin Xi spent a lot of effort to calm him down: "Tell me, who was the person who attacked you? How did he hit you?"
"Hit me……"
Qin Hu grumbled for a while after hearing this, and then said sheepishly: "He didn't hit me..."
"Didn't he hit you?"
Qin Xi was startled, and the contempt in his heart became even greater. You were so frightened that you would step on your horse even if I didn't hit you. If I really beat you, why don't you cry for father and mother, and pee and shit?
I think I was beaten before, but I haven't been like you yet!
Inexplicably, Qin Xi felt a sense of pride and superiority in her heart, and when she looked at Qin Hu, her eyes became even more contemptuous.
"He just put me... aside..."
Maybe Qin Hu himself felt a little embarrassed, so he stuttered when he spoke, but directly grabbing his head and lifting it aside like Lu Bu did, it really left a big psychological shadow on him.
Qin Xi didn't want to discuss this issue with him in detail, so he asked about the main point.
"Do you remember what that man looks like?"
"I……"
When Qin Hu thought of Lu Bu's fierce face, his calves were spinning. The question Qin Xi asked was really difficult for him.
"I...I can't come..."
Qin Xi covered his forehead and sighed. It seemed that he could only ask the two servants.
"When they left just now, did you ask anyone to follow them?"
"I……"
In the situation just now, Qin Hu wanted to send a few sticks of incense to invite Lu Bu away, so how could he dare to send people to follow him?
"I...I can't come..."
Qin Xi looked at the clueless clan brother in front of him and sighed softly. His eyes changed from hating iron to being kind to the weak now.
No matter how stupid he is, his loyalty is commendable. After all, the first time he met Zhuge Liang, he could think of inviting him back to the Prime Minister's Mansion and introducing him to his father. This is already pretty good...
While Qin Xi was thinking this, she patted Qin Hu on the shoulder to comfort him: "Don't worry, anyway, Zhuge Liang will go to the palace tomorrow to participate in the passing ceremony, and in a few days he will go to the Hanlin Academy to take office."
"As long as you ask him, you will know who that person is! I will help you take revenge when the time comes!"
"I……"
Qin Hu opened his mouth, intending to say don't help me take revenge, I don't want to see that person again, but looking at Qin Xi's face, he couldn't say anything.
"Thank you very much, brother..."
The carriage in which Qin Xi was sitting left the Imperial Academy and headed towards the Right Prime Minister's Mansion.
But the Imperial College was busy until late at night, and finally managed to send out all the Jinshi uniforms before the curfew came.
~~
The next morning.
Today is the day when the results of the palace examination will be released, and it is also the day when the grand ceremony of passing on the emperor will be held.
Regardless of their rank, all officials in Beijing must attend as long as they have no important errands to attend to.
First, the civil and military officials lined up their orders and entered the palace from the left and right gates of Chengtian Gate. Then, the new scholars, who had arranged their teams according to their rankings in the examination, also arrived in front of Chengtian Gate.
Different from the last time we were on TV, today they are all wearing the Jinshi uniforms they received yesterday.
The original round-neck black silk Juren uniform could be considered low-key and handsome, but compared with this Jinshi uniform, it looked like a boring black coal egg, and it couldn't stand out at all.
The Jinshi uniform is divided into three parts, the Jinshi scarf, the Jinshi dress and a locust wood wat board.
The Jinshi scarf is the black gauze hat. Only officials and Jinshi can use this kind of scarf and hat. However, the black gauze hat of the Jinshi is still different from the black gauze hat of the officials. There is a pair of green leaf velvet flowers on the hat, and there is a bronze medal between the two flowers. Inscribed with the words "Enrong Banquet", there is a pair of slender wings behind the black gauze shawl, and a two-foot-long soap gauze hanging belt is tied to each wing tip.
The Jinshi's attire is no longer a rustic black, but a dark blue round-collared robe with green edges, a round collar, big sleeves, and a black horn belt around the waist, which is very eye-catching.
At this moment, under the guidance of officials from the Ministry of Rites, the more than 800 new scholars have been arranged on the left and right according to the odd and even numbers of their examination rankings.
Just as the new scholars were lining up in Chengtianmen Square, hundreds of officials who had just entered the palace also came to the square in front of Qianyang Hall.
The Chuanlu Ceremony was only held once every three years, and the imperial court paid relatively high attention to it. At this moment, the Qianyang Palace Square was already crowded with officials, but only one avenue was left in the middle.
Civilian officials stand facing east and west, and military officers stand facing east and west. They are arranged in an orderly manner on the square according to the size of the official positions.
At this time, it was Li Qian's turn as the emperor to appear.
One by one, the Yulin Imperial Guards in golden armor lined up from Qianyang Palace, holding gold melons, treasure dings, and flags, standing on both sides. Then there were ten squads of human beings who came out, all on the third floor of Danbi. Two steps, from top to bottom.
Then Li Gancai rode a simple eight-carriage chariot, carrying a yellow umbrella cover with a nine-dragon crank, and slowly came to the front surrounded by maids holding fans and eunuchs holding ceremonial knives.

Then Li Gancai rode a simple eight-carrying chariot, carrying a yellow umbrella cover with a nine-dragon crank, and slowly came to the front surrounded by palace ladies holding fans and eunuchs holding ceremonial knives.
