Martial Cultivator

Chapter 140 Storm

The literary test on the second day was so unexpected that it naturally drew attention to the literary test to a very high level. From that day on, more monks paid attention to the literary test. Naturally, in the next few days, , there has never been a tie situation in the literary test.

The young Taoist named Gu Ming was not assigned to the same group as Xie Nandu in the next few days, but he also took the top spot many times. From this point of view, if he had not met Xie Nandu, he might have always been at the top.

Zhu Xia, the saint of Wantian Palace, also always ranked first in the literary examinations she participated in later. No one could beat her.

As for Xie Nandu, the same was true. After fighting for so long on the second day, she finally won. After she didn't meet Gu Ming, no one was her opponent.

Nowadays, these three people have become the most promising candidates for winning the championship in major gambling houses in Shendu. Among the three, Xie Nandu is naturally the most favored one.

However, after experiencing the risk of almost losing his entire family, Chen Chao never appeared in the gambling house again. Apart from accompanying Xie Nandu to take the literary test every day, he also went to help Song Lian continue to solve his life-long affairs.

However, as the commander of the left guard, Song Lian is really busy these days and has little time to go over there and see the woman.

Chen Chao also saved a lot of things.

He handed the baked goods to Xie Nandu, and then took the time to look at what Weng Quan had sent, and then exclaimed, "The literary test will be the finals in three days. If you don't have any problems in these days, then you can go to the finals again." If you win the final, you will be the first person in history to top every game until you win.”

Although Xie Nandu had already set a record in the literary test on the second day and had eight battles with Gu Ming to determine the winner, in fact, even so, it was not as shocking as her winning the first prize with a complete victory.

Xie Nandu stretched out his hand to peel off the skin and said calmly, "If you have a chance, it may not be that difficult."

Chen Chao said, "If you win the championship, you will not only create history, but it will also be the first time for the Liang Dynasty."

Xie Nandu didn't speak, but lowered her head and took a bite. Feeling the hotness in her mouth, she felt a little calm.

"But the greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment."

Chen Chao said with emotion, "Especially those guys who have made big bets."

After Xie Nandu finished eating, the carriage outside the courtyard also arrived.

Chen Chao looked at this scene and asked with some confusion, "Where are you going?"

Xie Nandu said, "Enter the palace."

In fact, the second day of the literary test had already alarmed the palace. The queen was said to be extremely happy and wanted to meet Xie Nandu that night. However, due to some considerations, she temporarily gave up the idea. Now she is only one step away from the finals. There are three days left, and the palace plans to meet Xie Nandu before the final competition.

Chen Chao said oh without expressing any opinion.

Xie Nandu said, "Let's go."

Chen Chao was a little distracted and asked, "What did you say?"

"The Queen wants to see you and me tonight."

Xie Nandu glanced at him and walked out of the courtyard.

Chen Chao didn't quite understand why he still had his own affairs.

Some things don't need to be understood, only implemented.

Just like in the Liang Dynasty, if the Queen wanted to meet someone, she would naturally do it.

The carriage walked along the long street and soon entered the palace.

Waiting at the palace gate was Li Heng as usual. Now that Chen Chao knew that this young-looking eunuch was actually an extremely important role in the palace, he naturally did not dare to look down upon him.

The two of them followed Li Heng all the way, and soon arrived at the palace where the queen lived, but they were ushered into the side hall. Here, a table of meals had already been prepared, which was just the same as what Chen Chao had eaten at Xie's. Compared with that meal, the food here seems much simpler.

They are all ordinary dishes, without any delicacies.

Li Heng reminded before exiting, "

The dishes tonight are all made by the Queen herself. "

After saying this, he left.

After hearing this, Chen Chao couldn't help but feel a little nervous when he looked at the dishes on that table.

How many people in the Liang Dynasty could eat the dishes cooked by the Queen?

That doesn't depend on how high your status is. If you want to have this honor, you must be someone very close to the Queen.

Xie Nandu looked at the table of steaming dishes and thought that even if he had achieved some success in the literary test, he should not be treated like this. The dishes on the table were probably made for Chen Chao. After all, the royal banquet was that night. He had also been called into the palace by the queen before.

Chen Chao remained silent, not knowing what he was thinking.

Soon, the queen came in with the support of two palace maids.

Chen Chao glanced at it and frowned. The Queen's face looked much worse tonight than before.

People have been saying that the Empress is in poor health, but now it seems that it will be much more serious.

After a brief moment of confusion, the two of them were about to salute, but the Queen smiled and shook her head and said, "Let's not talk about this tonight, just sit down and eat."

She sat at the head of the table, looked at the dishes on the table, and said softly, "I haven't done it in many years. I'm afraid my skills are rusty."

The two people who had just sat down naturally couldn't say anything, they could only express their gratitude.

The Empress looked at Xie Nandu with a smile and said, "You girl, I have heard of your name before. To be able to become the reclusive disciple of the dean, you are definitely not an ordinary person, but I never expected that you could do so well in the literary examination." Awesome, it really gives me a long face."

"It's just a fluke, your Majesty." Xie Nandu smiled slightly, and she became much quieter at this moment.

The empress served her a bowl of soup and glanced at Chen Chao, "If you do it yourself, I won't serve it for you."

Chen Chao didn't dare to say anything, he just nodded.

"

I heard that you told the Taoist priest that it was meaningless, and I will not comment. But since you have come this far, I still hope that you will go further and win the first prize for me, Daliang Dynasty, so that Fang Wai Those people can no longer laugh at us. "

The empress looked at Xie Nandu, her eyes full of love, which could not be faked.

Xie Nandu said softly, "I'll do my best. I hope I can satisfy you."

The Empress looked at Chen Chao and also said, "You must work hard in the subsequent martial arts test, so as not to be inferior to a woman."

Chen Chao twitched his lips. Since Xie Nandu is going to win the championship, doesn't he also want to win the first place if he works hard in the future?

Thinking so, Chen Chao still replied seriously, "I obey the decree."

The Empress glanced at Chen Chao and ignored him. Instead, she pulled Xie Nandu and talked a lot. The feeling between the two now was that of a mother-in-law and a daughter-in-law with a very good relationship. As for Chen Chao, he was the neglected son. .

He picked up a piece of bacon with his chopsticks and found that it tasted great.

Only then did I realize that I was a little hungry, so I started to eat the dishes.

Soon, a whole table of food went into his stomach.

When Chen Chao reacted, he felt a little embarrassed.

Fortunately, Xie Nandu had already eaten before arriving and was not hungry yet, but the Queen had already lost her appetite, otherwise the situation would have been even more embarrassing.

The Empress glanced at Chen Chao with a smile, waved her hands to clear away the dishes, and then she pulled Xie Nandu to his feet. The two of them walked out of the side hall and walked slowly in the palace. The moonlight was good tonight, so Quan was treated as a reward. moon.

Chen Chao followed the two of them, not too far or too close.

Arriving in front of a long corridor, the Queen stopped tiredly, and then said with a smile, "I have three sons, and the third is not yet married. Can you come and be my daughter-in-law?"

Chen Chao, who was still confused at first, suddenly became energetic after hearing these words.

I dare you, the queen, to summon Xie Nandu to the palace tonight for this purpose?
