Rising: Ten Thousand Years Chapter 30: : polar opposite

Having finished bathing and burning incense, Li Zhen strode out of the government office, followed by a group of officials of the Hangzhou county government office.

All the people in the city rushed over, then knelt on the ground, looking at Li Zhen with envy. In the history of Hangcheng County, the only person who received the imperial decree!

Wearing a golden tioping crown on his head, the edict-delivering official stood at the gate of the government office with his head held high, overlooking the entire Hangzhou County, and said loudly: "Li Zhen accepts the order."

Li Zhen had already heard about the rules, so he quickly patted his right arm three times with his left hand and his left arm three times with his right hand, meaning 'clean dust'.

Then he clasped his hands in the direction of Zhongzhou. Then bow and kowtow four times to the imperial decree. It is the "Four Prayers of Jishou".

"Min, lead the decree."

After Li Zhen kowtowed, he stood up again. He didn't need to kneel to receive the order. Just stand there with your head down.

The senior official looked at Li Zhen and said loudly:

"In the vastness of Kyushu, Emperor Xun ordered: The birth of a comet in the southeast state is a sign of great prosperity in Kyushu. The revival of five academic innovations made me cry. Hello, for a hundred years, the number one scholar in Kyushu in heaven and earth. Announcing you Come to Beijing quickly, there are too many things I want to ask you.

Ling, every time you pass by the road along the way, the local governor and princess personally greet, see off, and accompany you. Let the number one scholar travel across Kyushu, and verify whether I am the only person who has personally approved the number one scholar since I ascended the throne. complete. "

Li Zhen took a deep breath, took three steps forward, and knelt down on one knee: "Min, lead the decree."

The senior official smiled, and placed the imperial decree in Li Zhen's hands with great care.

Li Zhen took it, turned around and handed it to Lengzi Qi.

Qi Lengzi, who was dressed like a **** of war, immediately took it for him, put it in the ebony box prepared in advance, and put his hands on his chest.

Everyone got up and looked at Li Zhen silently.

Li Zhen knows that this trip is far away. The moment he stepped out of Hangcheng County, it will be difficult to return to Hangcheng County, the place where he was born and raised.

With his heart surging, Li Zhen knelt on the ground in front of many people in Hangcheng County and kowtowed: "Li Zhen is grateful to my relatives and friends in my hometown for treating me well and caring for me over the past sixteen years."

The people were silent, surprised.

Li Zhener kowtowed: "Li Zhen is grateful to the teachers, mentors, and elders who have taught me, educated me, and guided me along the way.

As soon as this remark came out, there was a loud sob in the crowd.

The public high school crowd covered their mouths, their shoulders shrugging constantly. Want to burst into tears, but dare not make the slightest sound.

The headmaster kept wiping away his tears, and there was a look of relief in his vicissitudes of life eyes. After twenty years of negativity, a flying dragon finally vacated from here.

Someone kept weeping and looked at Li Zhen silently.

Li Zhen kowtowed to Hangcheng County three times, and Lang shouted: "Li Zhen is grateful for the land that gave birth to me, raised me, and carried me for sixteen years. Thank you Hangcheng County for the kindness of nurturing!"

With red eyes, he lowered his head, closed his eyes and kissed the familiar land that countless people have stepped on countless times.

When the lips touched the land of Hangcheng County, they felt the unique roughness of the sand, as if they tasted the sweetness of breast milk when they were young.

Stretch out your hand to grab a handful of the sand and soil in your hometown, put it solemnly in the pocket of your robe, and store it next to your body. Li Zhen stood up, and Lang shouted: "Hangcheng County, farewell!"

In the silence, everyone shouted:

"Let's go to Dragon World!"

The senior officials quickly shouted: "Take the champion and get in the car!"

'哗啦啦'

The murderous armor immediately lined up, with more than a thousand cavalry lined up.

With the shaking of the armor, all the soldiers lined up and lay on the ground, extending from Li Zhen's feet to the outside of Hangcheng County.

The people under their feet were all crawling, and behind them, the soldier armor was crawling. Later, bowed body and crawled, and then knelt down on all fours. Extending all the way to the outside of the city, the edge of a luxurious carriage.

Li Zhen was surprised: "What is this?"

The official smiled: "Please step on their backs and walk up to the carriage. It means step by step."

"No way!"

"Make, make."

The officer couldn't help but hold Li Zhen's hand, and pulled him onto the back of the first soldier. In Li Zhen's trembling step by step, on the road composed of people, he got higher and higher, and stepped onto the carriage.

It's not just about moving up the ladder.

It also means... One will succeed and ten thousand will die.

This is the case every year for the champion, who has to step on the back of the soldier to get into the carriage. The deeper implication is: You can sacrifice countless blood and dry bones in exchange for a great scholar who may lead the revival of the empire!

Therefore, one will succeed and ten thousand will die.

In previous years, the rule was that only 180 soldiers were used to pave the way for the champion.

However, there are 1,280 soldiers paving the way for Li Chen this year.

The soldiers who pave the way are also willing, they are willing to...

After getting into the carriage, Qi Lengzi also jumped up from the side, no matter how stunned he was, he would not dare to enjoy the same treatment as Li Zhen. He didn't dare to step on the backs of those soldiers.

"Let's go."

"Drive!"

The leading soldier reined in the reins and escorted the carriage into the yellow sand.

The people of Hangcheng County and the officials rushed out in a hurry, stood in front of the city gate and bid farewell to each other with tears. It wasn't until the horse team disappeared for a long time that the crowd dispersed quietly...

After driving for about 20 minutes, Li Zhen asked with a smile: "What is the name of the official?"

"It's easy to say, my name is Mingkang. The champion said that I can just declare my brother."

Li Zhenxin said that this official is a talkative master, and it seems that he is more able to deal with things.

"Brother Ming, I have something to ask, I wonder if it's okay?"

"Just ask me for the champion."

Li Zhen asked with a smile: "Where are we going to Zhongzhou from?"

"Naturally, go to Wuhu County, pass through Luyang County, all the way to the northwest, and go straight to Chang'an."

"Can you... accompany me to Jiahe County on the way?"

As he spoke, a monstrous cold light flashed in Li Zhen's eyes, which actually made Mingkang's heart thump.

"Going to Jiahe County? That's not the way, it's the opposite."

"There is one thing that Xiaosheng didn't do well, and this matter has always been a thorn in his heart. If it is not done well, it may be a regret for his life."

Mingkang was not someone who would let him go, and immediately began to weigh the pros and cons in his heart. After thinking about it again and again, Mingkang was still uncertain, so he could only ask with a wry smile: "I don't know... Is there anything that Zhuangyuanlang hasn't done? If possible, I'll send someone to help you."

"I need to go and see it in person, so that I can feel at ease."

"Can you let me know? What are you going to do?"

"Hehe, kill someone."

Mingkang's eyelids twitched, seeing Li Zhen say these two words with a smile, he felt chills in his heart, this champion is different from previous years. so different.

A sixteen-year-old boy is actually an unenlightened mind. As for him, Mingkang was a little surprised by his monstrous killing intent.

Mingkang is an old fritter, and his heart suddenly felt a little bit. He is sure that this number one scholar is not such a refined scholar... He has definitely killed people, and his hands have definitely been stained with blood. He's sure. Because people who have killed people are different from ordinary people. Can't tell what's different.

"Kill who?"

"A group of people who once killed my classmates and teachers and almost left me there forever. Lord Ming, if you don't allow me ~IndoMTL.com~ to go to the palace today, I will report this matter to the emperor, I guess ...The Son of Heaven may not let those people go, and will send people to kill them at that time. You, weigh one or two."

Mingkang hesitated for a moment, poked his head out and shouted: "Turn around, Jiahe County!"

When Li Zhen heard this, he laughed and said, "I don't want to thank you for your kindness. If you can use me in the future, Brother Ming just ask."

"There is no need to thank me for small things. If Zhuangyuan Lang can use me in the future, just ask me."

The two looked at each other and smiled, feeling inexplicable in their hearts.

Qi Lengzi, who was riding in the same carriage, stared at all this dumbfounded. He watched Li Zhen take revenge, and even dragged the imperial guards to accompany him.

Lengzi Qi poked Li Zhen excitedly, and said in a low voice, "You are a **** talent!"

Li Zhen ignored him. He went on to say:

"You actually did what Princess Zhang didn't dare to do. Take the imperial palace guards to help you destroy Yanziji, thank you for thinking it out."

“…”

Li Zhen sat leisurely in the carriage, looking at the scenery outside the window, with a satisfied smile on the corner of his mouth. I can't help but think of my own vow that day——

"If one day I become an official, I will wipe out the entire Yanziji!"

"If one day I turn my power to the government and wipe out all the horse thieves in this world."

"If there is such a day, I will definitely carry your dream."

"If that day does not come, I will come to Yanziji to accompany you to Jiuquan!"

“…”

As the scenery passed, Li Zhen closed his eyes and said softly: "Liu Quan, I am here to help you avenge you. Teachers... I said I would destroy Yanziji, and here it is. You watch in the sky Let's go."
