The palace servants were leading the way, as if they were taking them somewhere. After a moment, they saw many teams like them, all rushing towards an open space ahead.
"There is..."
Ling Xuewei said, "It should be the school grounds in the palace."
Xi Mu was puzzled, "What did they take us there for?"
To be honest, Ling Xuewei didn't know, "Anyway, you'll know just by looking at it."
The school ground in front of them covers an extremely large area and can accommodate at least a thousand people. When Ling Xuewei and the others arrived, there were already many people standing in the open space. Looking around, they were all disciples and monks from major families and sects.
These people have all entered the palace in recent months to treat Ye Emperor.
Although Ling Xuewei had known about it for a long time, but now seeing so many people, she still couldn't help but click her tongue.
Almost half of Fanxu’s disciples are here, right?
Standing as required, Ling Xuewei secretly looked around, and then her mind settled.
"Mr. Ling, why do you think they summoned us?" Xi Mu was a little nervous. When he was nervous, he asked the question again.
Now Xi Mu was alone with Ling Xuewei, and the only person he asked was Ling Xuewei.
Ling Xuewei looked forward and saw a high platform there. After a while, the two people slowly walked out.
Ling Xuewei took a closer look and discovered that she was an acquaintance!
The leader is none other than Bai Le.
Next to Bai Le was Zong You, one of the four generals of the Ye Ming Army.
It seems that there is finally some movement in the palace after such a long time.
"Everyone is quiet."
After some simple words of comfort, Bai Le finally spoke.
Bai Le didn't talk nonsense at all. He went straight to the point and said that in response to Emperor Ye's will, five people would be selected within three days to treat Emperor Ye.
As soon as these words came out, the whole place was in an uproar.
Finally...it's here!
Immediately after, someone announced the rules of the competition. There were three competitions in total. The first two competitions were personally selected by the nine imperial doctors in the palace, from which ten people were selected. The final five were selected by Prime Minister Fuji.
And the competition starts tomorrow.
After everyone went back, Xi Mu still didn't react.
"Master Ling, we have hope! There is an open selection, maybe we can be selected too!"
Xi Mu became excited and started talking more.
"Master Ling, can you be my pharmacist and join us in the competition?"
The participating doctors could bring a pharmacist with them, so Xi Mu naturally chose Ling Xuewei without even thinking about it. After all, that was the reason why he found Ling Xuewei.
However, there are also doctors who are good at making medicines themselves, so there is no need for a pharmacist. After all, if there are two people, the credit will naturally belong to both of them.
The five people finally selected, regardless of whether they are doctors or alchemists, as long as they have the ability, they will have a chance to stand out.
Xi Mu was actually selfish in his heart. Although they had only known each other for a few days, he could tell that Ling Xuewei was quite capable, and Ling Xuewei's medical skills were definitely superior to his.
If Ling Xuewei ran for the election herself, she might have a higher chance of passing than him.
It's just...he finally entered the palace after all the hard work. If he was eliminated like this, how could he live up to his classmates and master who had high expectations for him?
Therefore, Xi Mu immediately proposed that Ling Xuewei be his pharmacist.
Xi Mu looked at Ling Xuewei nervously.
"Okay." Ling Xuewei agreed without thinking.
Rang Ximu didn't expect Ling Xuewei to agree so readily, and was stunned for a moment.
"Really, really?" Xi Mu stuttered.
Ling Xuewei nodded, no matter what, as long as she saw that man, it didn't matter in any way.
"That's great! Mr. Ling, thank you. I will definitely repay you!" Xi Mu was so excited that he didn't even know what to say.
Ling Xuewei smiled lightly and returned to her residence.
The competition lasted for three days. Five people had to be selected from thousands of people in such a short period of time. In such a hurry... Could something have happened to Ye Moyan?
Ling Xuewei was a little uneasy, but finally couldn't hold it back and turned on the monitoring screen.
Although she came back yesterday, she left the bee probes in Yeji Palace. Some of them were scattered throughout the palace, just in case.
Until Ye Moyan's figure appeared on the screen, her noble and cold face was filled with a hint of coldness, and she could feel it even through the screen.
Ye Moyan was discussing matters with several soldiers. His stern face showed irresistible majesty and momentum. His facial features were thin, making his outline become deeper and deeper, like a knife.
Ling Xuewei just held her chin up and watched Ye Moyan's thin lips on the screen open and close, saying something seriously. Her eyes fell from his perfect profile and straight nose to his pale lips.
After the soldiers went out, Ye Moyan finally showed a hint of fatigue on his seat, his eyes narrowed slightly and his lips became paler.
Ling Xuewei's heart tightened, and her heartache for him couldn't help but well up in her chest.
Why is this fool so incapable of taking care of himself?
Ling Xuewei just stared at the screen like this for an unknown amount of time, until the sky lit up, and the whole night passed like this.
On the first day of selection, Ling Xuewei and Xi Mu successfully advanced.
On the second day, Ximu's condition was a little unstable, but fortunately with the help of Ling Xuewei, he advanced without any danger.
Even Xi Mu was flattered, and he received the promotion sign in a daze and was taken out.
It could be said that the people present were all outstanding figures from major families. To be able to stand out from so many people and successfully advance to the third round of selection was something he had not expected at all.
Facing the envious and jealous looks of countless disciples from the aristocratic family, Xi Mu left calmly.
However, Xi Mu was not carried away by the joy. In fact, he knew that without Ling Xuewei, he would definitely not be able to enter the second competition.
Xi Mu's complex eyes fell on the figure in front of him.
At first, he thought that Ling Xuewei was just an unknown person who came to the imperial capital just to join in the fun, but Ling Xuewei had to choose him because of the situation.
After getting to know each other gradually, Xi Mu discovered that this person seemed unfathomable. Whenever he felt that he knew Ling Xuewei well enough, Ling Xuewei would always give him new surprises.
Ling Xuewei never allowed him to see his limits, and he didn't know how many abilities this Master Ling had yet to use.
Maybe he was just doubtful at first, but now that Ling Xuewei has helped him reach the third level, leaving countless disciples of the inherited medical sect behind, how could Xi Mu still not understand how this Young Master Ling could be a nobody?
?
"What's wrong?" Ling Xuewei looked at Xi Mu strangely.
"No, it's nothing, um..." Xi Mu said nonchalantly, "You are also tired today, so go to bed early. Tomorrow is the last show, so get ready."
"Um."
The two of them went back to their houses, and Ling Xuewei went into the space to have dinner with Bai Ze and the others.
In fact, Ling Xuewei could vaguely see Xi Mu's thoughts.
If he wants to get a ranking in the competition, he will definitely notice something, but Ling Xuewei doesn't care. The two of them just met by chance, each with their own purposes, and they reached an agreement. After that, they will definitely part ways.
And Ling Xuewei doesn't have that much energy to speculate on the thoughts of a person she meets by chance.
After dinner, Ling Xuewei habitually turned on the monitoring screen.
In the past few days, Ling Xuewei would look at the screen to see what Ye Moyan was doing.
Sometimes they discuss matters, sometimes they deal with government affairs, or they listen to reports on military affairs from their subordinates, and sometimes they discuss political affairs.
The more Ling Xuewei looked, the tighter her brows furrowed.
For such a long time, she only saw Ye Moyan busy, but never saw him take a rest. Moreover, he ate very well, and sometimes even stopped eating when he was busy. No matter how Yue Feng and the others persuaded him, Ye Moyan
The flames were unmoved.
He is like a machine, tireless.
But Ling Xuewei knew that Ye Moyan was not a machine, he was a living person.
If he doesn't care about his body so much, does he think he is an iron man?
Ling Xuewei felt a surge of anger in her chest. She stood up and was about to go out! But she suddenly stopped at the door.
After sighing deeply, Ling Xuewei returned.
It was clear that she insisted on leaving back then, so why does she have the right to be angry now?
"What are you doing?" Bai Ze suddenly said in the space.
"Oh, it's nothing. Is there something wrong?" Ling Xuewei asked.
"Well, Huangfuchen has sent a message." Bai Ze said.
Ling Xuewei immediately entered the space, found the communication crystal ball, waved her hand, and Huangfu Chen's face appeared in the crystal ball.
"I feel relieved to see that you are safe. How is everything?" Huangfuchen looked at Ling Xuewei with concern.
Ling Xuewei sat cross-legged on the ground, "Everything went well, don't worry, I'm already at Fanxu Emperor Palace now."
"Well, proceed with caution." Huangfuchen nodded.
The two talked again, and Huangfuchen told Ling Xuewei that he had asked Huifeng to take care of the matter.
The place Xiong Cang told Bai Pingyang and Pan Guang at that time was naturally false. The real location was in a mountain range south of Jingyong's boundary. Before Ling Xuewei left, he informed Huangfu Chen of the location.
Huangfu Chen asked Haifeng to take people there to mine and transport secretly. Knowing that the matter was going smoothly, Ling Xuewei felt relieved.
After all, it was a large vein of black gold, and she would not give it away to anyone else.
The independent army's daily needs for weapons are huge, and the ores and materials required for their manufacture are even larger, so Ling Xuewei will naturally not let go of this mineral vein.
During the call, Ling Xuewei also learned that Xiong Cang had returned to Independent Prefecture with the support of Song Shao.
None of his original team members followed him back. What's more worth mentioning is that the casual cultivators and mercenaries who attacked the Flowing Fire Mercenary Group with Dai Can and the others that day also volunteered to follow Xiong Cang. Many of them followed Xiong Cang.
The other mercenary captains with whom Cang was close friends also came to help this time when they saw Xiong Cang in trouble.
However, because of this incident, the situation of these people was also in danger, and Xiong Cang naturally would not ignore them. Originally, he wanted to put them in a safe place before leaving, but he did not want these people to insist on following him. Xiong Cang was helpless, but moved at the same time.
So he accepted them.
Ling Xuewei was not surprised by this. In fact, when these people first decided to stand on the same front with them, they might have already decided to leave their own mercenary team. Although she didn't know the specific reason, she thought that with the usually heroic and kind-hearted
There is an inseparable relationship between fate and being a human being.
Xiong Cang is indeed worthy of a great responsibility.
