There was a lot of joy in front of the Hunting Platform Square, but the temple where the Tu family and Gu family lived was full of life.

Despite this, it did not affect those people having fun in their spare time.

Eunuch Zheng accompanied Emperor Chu Yu and stood behind a slope, looking at the emperor standing with his hands behind his back, as if he was feeling lost.

The noise around came from a distance with a few footsteps. After a while, the younger generations such as Liu Shukuang, Jiang Wanfeng and Lu Wenqing all came over, bowed their hands and stood quietly behind the emperor.

Chu Yu looked back at the young heroes, and the trace of regret just now disappeared.

"Jiang Wanfeng."

"I'm here."

"After hunting, it is time for the imperial examination to start. The Hanlin Academy is extremely responsible. Can all the matters go smoothly?" A casual question caused the people behind him to bow their heads and dare not look up.

Jiang Wanfeng is responsible for this imperial examination. In the past few days, many young heroes have wanted to curry favor with the examiner. However, they have never been able to do so. Now, when the emperor suddenly mentioned that those who had previously wanted to take a path of retreat couldn't help but feel guilty.

Jiang Wanfeng bowed and said, "Thank you for your care. I am ready, so I will wait for the trial!"

"Very good!" Chu Yu's deep eyes swept behind him, and then said to Mu Nanfeng: "I remember that Nanfeng participated in the martial arts selection when he was a teenager and won the third place."

"Yes, I had tried my best at that time, but I didn't want to lose to Lord Xiao Jiang." Mu Nanfeng said modestly.

Chu Yu nodded slightly, and his smile glanced at Hua Xixie behind him again, and said in a solemn voice: "The Hua family is now under heavy responsibility. When Hua Xieying is in Kyoto City, he has done everything himself and done the supervisory position very well. I am very pleased! He is not here, and you, the younger brother, should also take on the responsibility of the Hua family!"

Hua Xixie has always been low-key. Suddenly, he heard that the emperor pointed out his name, and he was slightly shocked and stepped forward and said respectfully: "Yes, I will definitely not disappoint the emperor!"

"Liu Aiqing."

Chu Yu turned around, Ming Xiu held his hand behind him, and the emperor's majesty was fully revealed!

Liu Shukang, who stood in the wind, took a step forward.

He turned his face and his eyes slowly slid across the faces of everyone present. After a few quiet breaths, he slowly spoke: "The hunting palace is related to the old formation of the Duanmu clan. It is necessary to clear it up. I let you come here, and I will also get to know the pillars of the country in the future of the Northern Tang Dynasty."

"Yes! I will do my best to eliminate hidden dangers."

Liu Shukuang crossed his hands and bowed.

Some waves broke out in his heart, and the emperor suddenly summoned them, but he didn't know what it meant to win over?

Perhaps this is possible! However, a few of these people were really not suitable, which made Liu Shukuang a little confused and figured out the emperor's thoughts.

"Lu Wenqing should have gained something, go."

With Chu Yu's hand, Liu Shukuang took his servant away to help Lu Wenqing clear the remaining old formation.

Chu Yu did not ask them to arrest the person behind the scenes, but agreed with Taiwei Gu, and attributed this to the hidden danger left by Duanmu Zunyue.

The emperor did not ask too much about the conflict between the Tu family and the Gu family. He let them deal with it themselves, which left great hidden dangers.

After Chu Yu said a few words to the others, only Jiang Wanfeng was left behind. Eunuch Zheng stood far and slowly as he watched the two people in front of him walk forward.

Jiang Wanfeng stood behind him and accompanied the emperor to see the winter scenery around him.

"I still remember when you were the companion to the prince, I was just an unknown prince."

Jiang Wanfeng was suddenly shocked!

The emperor suddenly mentioned the old story, but what is the point?

Jiang Wanfeng pondered for a while and said, "I was just..."

Chu Yu raised his hand and waved his fingers, indicating that he didn't need to explain much. As an emperor, he could see clearly that Jiang Wanfeng was a person. Otherwise, he would not have used Jiang Wanfeng.

After this imperial examination, Chu Yu will also promote him, but the premise is that this person must be biased towards the royal family.

Jiang Wanfeng lowered his eyes and followed the emperor, walking slowly, and his heart also heaviered little by little with the pace.

From any aspect, now the emperor has no intention of touching their Jiang family, and the premise is whether their Jiang family father and son are so loyal.

The emperor is testing!

Once you make the emperor feel that he cannot use it for himself, the Jiang family will become the next Duanmu family, the Hua family...

Jiang Wanfeng's eyebrows gathered up a bump.

"I have had many loyal companions around me, but later things have changed. They all have their own reasons to surrender to other princes. I have never liked betrayers, and that year I also massacred many unrighteous people. I hope Jiang Aiqing can select excellent talents for the Northern Tang like Jiang Zhongshu, and strengthen the great mountains and rivers of the Northern Tang again. I will hand over this important task to Jiang Aiqing, and I hope you will not let me down."

Jiang Wanfeng's eyes sank and his heart was tight. He knew that the Jiang family could not escape, and chose the most loyal talent for the king, and eliminated those who might have rebellious hearts.

In short, the selected top scholar must be loyal to him Chu Yu!

"Yes, I will do my best to select talents for the Northern Tang Dynasty!"

When Chu Yu heard Jiang Wanfeng's answer, he was satisfied.

...

The sky was clear during the day, and it started to thunder and rain after night. The entire hunting palace was covered by rain and fog. From a distance, it was hazy, like a fairy mirror hidden in the mist in the mountains.

Lu Wenqing led a group of inner palace guards to wander around the mountains, and Liu Shu in front was sweeping her body regardless of wind or rain.

As if no thorns ahead could stop him, the people who were following behind him could not help but admire him secretly when they looked at his erratic figure.

Priest Liu's body skills are indeed extremely good. He can move forward without any obstacles under such a bad situation. Without solid skills, he will not be able to move forward at all.

I know Liu Shukuang better.

Lu Wenqing held the horse with a cold face and a deep dark eyes looking at the front. The rain was getting heavier and heavier. Even the higher the master, he could not go far.

You must stop immediately and return to the hunting palace.

"Prince Liu," Lu Wenqing called out to the person in front of him.

Liu Shukuang stood in the rain and looked back at Lu Wenqing: "What did Lord Lu find out?"

"It's so bad that we'll go back to the hunting palace first."

Liu Shukuang in the rain suddenly asked: "Does Lord Lu know the position set up in the hunting palace during Duanmu Zunyue's lifetime?"

Lu Wenqing pursed his sharp lips and looked at Liu Shukuang coldly from a high place, without saying a word.

His silence made Liu Shukang guess more, "A year before her death, she entered the hunting palace to set up a formation, and Lord Lu is also in charge of one area this year."

"No."

Lu Wen answered his words coldly and ruthlessly.

The eyes were so cold that there was no trace of emotion that made Liu Shukuang confirm the guess in his heart. Lu Wenqing must have known something.

The Hunting Palace occupies a large area. If you look closely, you will not be able to view the complete picture within one or two days.

They walked out for another one or two miles and circled around the Hunting Palace, which was too laborious and time-consuming.

It’s a cold rainy day like this now, and it’s dark again. If you encounter a mistaken formation, it’s extremely dangerous.

Lu Wenqing suggested returning to the Hunting Palace, and there was nothing wrong with that.

"Just go back to the hunting palace from here."

Liu Shukuang pointed forward and flew in as soon as he finished speaking.

Lu Wenqing frowned and suddenly looked in a dark direction.

Duanmu Zunyue had to set up a formation, so naturally someone needed to do these rough work for her. Lu Wenqing was one of them back then.

As for the others, most of them were closer to the Duanmu clan. After the Duanmu clan fled from Kyoto City, these people were executed one by one.

...

A flash of thunder fell, and Mu Jinghong looked up from the desk and looked at the light reflected by the window.

Chu Ji didn't come back at this time, where did he go?

It rained heavily, and everyone from the Hunting Platform Square returned to the hall to shelter from the rain, but he disappeared. Could it be that something happened?

"Princess, are you going to rest? You have to keep your eyes carefully when you study under the lamp!" Madam Liu walked in quietly and reminded her.

Mu Jinghong put down the book, came to the window, pushed open the crack, and the cold wind outside immediately poured in, and the wind blew her through the hall made her shiver.

There was also some rain on his face, and he closed the window and frowned.

Seeing this, Mama Liu knew that Mu Jinghong was worried about the prince. She was happy for the prince and stepped forward to comfort her, "The princess doesn't have to worry about the prince. This situation often happened in the fiefdom before. The prince liked to run around, and everyone in the mansion knew about it."

Mu Jinghong's face turned red by these words. Who cares about Chu Ji?

I was just worried that he would make trouble, so who would stabilize the country in the future?

When Mama Liu saw Mu Jinghong's face was thin, she didn't say much, just a reminder.

Mu Jinghong said, "Madam Liu, let's go out and rest."

Seeing that she was about to get on the bed, Madam Liu turned around and left the hall.

I slept until midnight and suddenly heard a sound. Just behind the screen beside the bed, the sound of water came faintly into my ears.

Mu Jinghong opened his eyes and went downstairs.

Touching the dark, he walked into the screen and saw a person sitting in the bathtub, with long hair draped behind the bucket, and his two strong arms placed on the edge of the bucket, against the light, unable to see the other person's face, but she recognized that it was Chu Qi.

She looked at Chu Ji, and Chu Ji was also looking at her, and the hall was surprisingly quiet for a moment.

"Is the princess trying to get the advantage?"
