Chapter 94: I have never seen such a bloody plot
After ten years of hard study, one day you will be admitted to a prestigious university.
No one recognized my hard work, but I became famous overnight and known all over the world.
This is the scene that all scholars experience when taking the county examination.
That day, Jiuzuixian accompanied his second brother to see the list. In his opinion, it was a foregone conclusion that his second brother would be on the list, it was just a matter of ranking.
But compared to what place his second brother would get on the list, he was more curious about what surprise his third brother had prepared for him?
However, what he didn't expect was that his second brother's name was not on the huge list.
My second brother failed the exam.
In desperation, he could only lead his distraught second brother back to the yard bought by his third brother.
The gate opened.
A pretty woman with delicate features stood there, looking at the two of them with her pretty face.
"Big brother, second brother..."
The voice is as sweet as a yellow oriole.
Only then did Jiuzuixian realize that his third brother was actually a girl.
Just like in opera, a woman dressed as a man.
The third brother became the third sister.
The Drunken Immortal couldn't tell what he felt, he just felt very happy.
However, when the third sister learned that the scholar had failed the exam, she was shocked and thought there must be something wrong, so she left in a hurry.
A few days later, the third sister appeared again, her pretty face showing fatigue and disappointment.
She brought back a message.
The scholar's essay was very well written and was ranked first in the A grade, which meant the number one scholar in this exam. However, the son of the treacherous prime minister who controlled the government happened to also take part in this imperial examination. He impersonated the scholar's essay and snatched the number one spot.
She has already filed a complaint with the emperor. In a few days, the emperor will clear the scholar's name and appoint him as the new top scholar.
At the same time, the third sister also revealed her true identity.
The Thirteenth Princess, the most beloved by the current emperor.
Because she was too bored in the palace, she sneaked out of the palace, which led to their later meeting on the boat.
However, the scholar refused.
The imperial examination is a grand ceremony for selecting talents for the country, but there can be such fraud. Even if I become an official in such a court, I can only collude with these corrupt officials. I would rather return to the countryside and be a farmer and scholar.
The princess is a golden branch and jade leaves, which is beyond the reach of a country boy like me. So there is no need to call you the second brother anymore.
The scholar left angrily, and the third sister shed tears.
Jiuzuixian changed his usual silence and went forward to comfort the third sister. The third sister confided her true feelings to him while crying.
It turned out that during this period of travel, the third sister had already fallen in love with the second brother, but she knew that her father would not easily agree to this marriage proposal. The day after arriving in Beijing, she returned to the palace and made an agreement with her father.
She wants to marry the top scorer in this year's imperial examination.
In her imagination, with her second brother's talent, it would not be a problem for him to become the top scholar in the imperial examination. At that time, she would change into a girl's body and reveal her identity to give her second brother a surprise. And when her second brother entered the palace the next day and her father talked about marriage, she would be able to marry her second brother openly.
But what she didn't expect was that it was precisely this agreement of hers that made the treacherous prime minister arrange for his son to take the imperial examination in order to get the top spot and marry the Thirteenth Princess, who was the most beloved by the current emperor, and ensure the prosperity of the family for generations.
The scholar left angrily, and the third sister returned to the palace in tears.
The Drunken Immortal, who heard the third sister's thoughts, went to a restaurant in the capital to get drunk alone. He didn't know why he wanted to drink, he just felt like drinking especially today.
However, the third sister never came back since she left that day.
He drank every day in the capital, and this drinking lasted for half a month.
Half a month later, he heard a piece of news from other drinkers.
This year's runner-up will marry the Thirteenth Princess soon.
This news instantly sobered him up from the drunkenness he had been experiencing for days. That day, he put down the wine jar, picked up his sword, and walked towards the palace.
…
He met his third sister as he wished.
Only then did he know that the third sister had confessed everything to the current emperor, and the current emperor asked the guards to bring the second brother.
In the Golden Palace , facing the expectant eyes of the third sister, the second brother refused again.
Scholars have their own pride.
He was unwilling to serve this court.
The second brother walked out of the palace with his head held high, while he walked out of the palace in despair.
From beginning to end, the third sister never mentioned him.
He is just a good brother.
The snow in Beijing is too cold, Nanjiang is better.
From then on, there was no more Drunken Sword Immortal in the world, but there was a Drunken Immortal.
…
…
Lin Ye looked at the Drunken Immortal who was also a little drunk, and fell silent after listening to these words.
The one who suffers the most in this relationship is indeed the old man.
It was unrequited love from the beginning to the end. The princess only had eyes for the scholar, but the scholar was too arrogant. In desperation, the princess chose to marry the runner-up. The emperor had already spoken in front of the ministers and would choose one of the talented men in this year's exam to be his son-in-law.
The ministers originally thought that he would be the top scorer, but unexpectedly he was the second.
Qiao Bangyan, the son of the Grand Tutor and Grand Preceptor, also holds great power in the court, so the officials would naturally not object.
"The man from the Qiao family has good character and is worthy of my third sister. After marriage, he entered the court as an official and made great efforts to rectify the government. However, the court is full of treacherous ministers and the empire is about to collapse. How can he alone save it?"
Lin Ye curled his lips. This guy is really a licker. The person he likes married someone else, and he still said they are a good match.
"Those treacherous officials and villains secretly assassinated the Prince Consort's mansion. When I arrived, my third sister's family was killed by the assassins, and the child born to my third sister and the Qiao family disappeared without a trace."
" So, the eldest brother is the son of Princess Thirteen?"
"No doubt about it. The child was five years old at the time. The Tiger Roaring Power was created by my third sister when she wanted to learn martial arts. I couldn't teach her martial arts from my master, so I created the Tiger Roaring Power myself. Looking around the world, there are only four people who can use the Tiger Roaring Power."
"Four, which four?" Lin Ye asked curiously.
“Old man, Third Sister, there are Qiao Yuannian and the Ice and Snow Sword Fairy you saw a few days ago.” The Drunk Immortal glanced at Lin Ye and said, “The Ice and Snow Sword Fairy is the daughter of Third Sister’s brother, and she is also a princess of the previous dynasty.”
This relationship...
Lin Ye was speechless. It was really complicated.
"The Ice and Snow Sword Fairy girl and Qiao Yuannian disappeared at the same time. I designed a plan to let the girl come to you, hoping that the girl would find Qiao Yuannian through you to comfort the spirit of my third sister in heaven."
"Why don't you go and find it yourself?"
"What am I looking for? He is the son of that guy from the Qiao family. What does he have to do with me? The Qiao family failed to protect the third sister. I am lucky that I didn't go and wipe out the entire Qiao family."
The old man glared at him, and Lin Ye understood. It was still out of jealousy.
He was jealous that the eldest senior brother's father got his third sister, and felt a little uncomfortable, but the eldest senior brother was the only bloodline in the world that he cared about the most, so he brought the Ice and Snow Sword Immortal here.
"Since you already knew about this, why are you so shocked when you heard about our senior brother?"
Lin Ye was very tactful and didn’t say the word "crazy".
The old man was silent for a while before he said quietly, "When the rebels started the rebellion, someone approached Shen Yun Sect and said that the people of the world had been suffering from corrupt officials for a long time, and hoped that Shen Yun Sect could join them. I thought that no matter what, the current royal family is the relatives of my third sister, so the Sect Master refused."
boom!
Lin Ye was struck by lightning.
It's so fucking bloody.
Because of his beloved, he refused to revolt, but ended up with his beloved's son among the rebels.
No wonder the old man went crazy, he would do the same if he were in his place.
"So, Senior, why did you bring me here?"
"I want to meet my third sister and ask her if she hates me."
The old man looked towards the grave, his eyes revealing anticipation and a hint of fear.
Lin Ye understood that this person was brought here to summon the soul.
