Above the stars

"Let him come." Zhong Tianque pointed at Tang Bandit and said.

For Zhong Tianque, this choice is not difficult.

There were a total of five people in the yard. Apart from himself, there were only four others: Xuanyuan Mingjing, Si Yinchuan, Shen Xinglan and Tang Bandi.

The members of the palace guard were all on guard outside the courtyard, and they would not open the courtyard door to let people in, pour themselves a cup of tea and then go out.

Xuanyuan Mingjing is the dean of Bailu Academy and a famous Grand Master in Xinxing. Even his father Xinxing would not say such stupid things as asking him to pour himself a cup of tea.

Si Yinchuan is the vice-president of Bailu Academy. If Zhong Tianque wants to maintain his image of respecting his teachers, it is impossible for him to pour him tea.

If this matter spreads, it will damage his reputation.

At such a critical moment, he couldn't make such a mistake. It would be bad for people to grab his pigtails. In this regard, he is still cautious enough.

Shen Xinglan is a direct descendant of the Shen family and tops the blue list.

He has a great reputation and outstanding personal strength. He is the disciple that Xuanyuan Mingjing personally came to bring back.

It can be said that if Zhong Tianque wants to ascend the throne of the Ninth Five-Year Supreme, he must either uproot the Shen family or get the full support of the Shen family. Otherwise, it will be difficult for him to climb up or sit firmly.

Shen Wuxiang is the military minister of the empire. If you want to be the leader of the country, how can you not have the support of the military?

As for the Tang bandits?

A young refugee from the old land with no roots or foundation.

If he hadn't been lucky enough to save his sister, they wouldn't have had any intersection in this life.

No, it should be said to be the distance between the two planets.

Furthermore, Tang Bandit and Phoenix are closely related, and their scandal has become a household name and has been on the news several times.

Shen Xinglan and Fenghuang were childhood sweethearts. They grew up together. Phoenix fell in Xiqi Mountain. This sentence came from his father's mouth.

Strictly speaking, they are still love rivals.

On one side is Shen Xinglan, the core figure of the Shen family, the head of the nine major families, and on the other side is the Tang Bandit, a homeless man from the old country who desperately climbs up with Phoenix's thigh in his arms.

Which one is more important? Do you still need to think about it?

Therefore, Tang Bandit is the most suitable person to serve tea and pour water.

After hearing Zhong Tianque's arrangement, Shen Xinglan stopped arguing and stepped aside with a smile on his face.

He understood Zhong Tianque's intention and what he wanted.

However, this was ultimately something that was beneficial to him, and there was no need for him to stand up and refute Zhong Tianque's face.

Others' eyes fell on Tang Bandit's face, wanting to see the change in his expression.

There were all the most intelligent people in the world. Zhong Tianque took Shen Xinglan's hand and refused to let him pour the tea, but named Tang Bandit to do it.

It's somewhat humiliating.

Zhong Tianque came to inspect the work on behalf of Zhong Daolong, which was equivalent to the official conclusion that the Tang bandits were not as important as Shen Xinglan, although this was indeed the case.

While he respected Shen Xinglan, he also showed extreme disrespect for Tang Bandit.

Therefore, everyone is waiting for Tang Bandit's reaction.

Accept the humiliation?

Or refuse with all your heart?

accept? Is he willing?

reject? Does he have the qualifications to break up?

Tang Bandit squinted his eyes and laughed, as if he was not disturbed by this matter at all, or did not understand the hidden meaning at all. He said with enthusiasm: "I will come, I will come, I am the junior brother, this is originally That’s what I should do.”

While talking, he quickly ran over to pour tea for Zhong Tianque.

He picked up the teapot, shook it, and said, "Oh, there's no water in the teapot. I'll add some water."

After saying that, he took the teapot into the kitchen and added boiling water.

When Tang Bandit came out with the teapot, he found two clean cups, poured a cup of tea for Zhong Tianque, and said, "Your Highness, please have some tea."

"Yeah." Zhong Tianque responded indifferently.

Tang Bandit poured a cup of tea for Si Yinchuan and said, "President Si, please have some tea."

"Excuse me, Mr. Tang Bandit." Dean Si was very polite.

Tang Bandi was a young man he was very optimistic about. If there were no profit considerations, he felt that Tang Bandit was a person with great development prospects.

"This is what I should do." Tang Bandit said with a smile.

Zhong Tianque's eyes fell on Tang Bandit's face and asked: "Why is he here?"

He was looking at Tang Bandit and talking, but he was not talking to Tang Bandit.

Therefore, he uses "he" instead of "you".

Because Fenghuang was also involved, Zhong Tianchi knew that Tang Bandi was admitted to Bailu Academy.

Because of this matter, their father lost his temper and even took them back to have a family meeting.

However, Bailu Academy does not only recruit Tang Bandit.

Why is he the only one who can enter the dean's courtyard?

Xuanyuan Mingjing is an extremely proud person, but not everyone is willing to deal with him.

"Thanks to my mentor who never gave up, I was lucky enough to become his incompetent disciple." Tang Bandit said with a smile, his smile was bright and pure, and he looked harmless to humans and animals.

Even Zhong Tianque, who was extremely disliked by him in his heart, felt that this boy was pretty good at laughing.

Zhong Tianque was greatly surprised. Xuanyuan Mingjing was the great master of the empire and the dean of Bailu Academy. He only accepted Shen Xinglan as his disciple, and he even personally invited him to take him to Egret Academy.

Over the years, countless people have used various methods and exhausted their brains to send their children to Bailu Academy, or to send them to practice and enlightenment under Xuanyuan Mingjing, but unfortunately they were all rejected by him.

And those who refused were quite decisive: I wouldn’t accept it.

Why are you accepting Tang bandits as disciples now?

This bandit Tang's talent is so great, that he can make Xuanyuan Mingjing love talents?

Or was he saving the Milky Way in his previous life, and this was a fate deliberately arranged for him by the heavens?

If Bandit Tang was just Bandit Tang, Zhong Tianque had every reason not to take him seriously.

However, if he becomes Xuanyuan Mingjing's direct disciple, the weight will naturally increase.

In Zhong Tianque's heart, every value has value or price.

However, Tang Bandit's value pales in comparison to Shen Xinglan who is sitting next to him.

There's no comparison.

There's no comparison at all.

Zhong Tianque looked at Xuanyuan Mingjing, and asked aloud: "The dean accepted the bandit Tang as his disciple?"

"Yes." Xuanyuan Mingjing nodded.

He didn't explain to Zhong Tianque the reason for accepting Tang Bandit as his apprentice, and he didn't need to explain anything to others.

Real men never explain.

"Congratulations to the dean for being a beloved disciple." Zhong Tianque said with a smile.

Looking at Bandit Tang again, he said, "You are also a very lucky person. If this matter is known to the outside world, I don't know how many people will envy you."

"Yes, my godfather said that men who love to laugh will have good luck. Not to mention others, even I envy myself. I wonder how I, Tang Bandit, am so virtuous and capable that I can become my mentor. Where's next?"

"." Zhong Tianque.

This guy is a tough guy and even licks men.

"Let's all sit down and talk." Xuanyuan Mingjing invited.

Si Yinchuan and Xuanyuan Mingjing had a good relationship, so they pulled up a chair and sat beside Xuanyuan Mingjing.

Zhong Tianque held Shen Xinglan's hand and said, "Xinglan, sit down and talk. You have been practicing at Bailu Academy. I haven't seen you for a while. Have you been back to Luojia Mountain recently?"

After they both sat down, there was no room around the tea table.

Tang Bandit then walked up and stood behind Xuanyuan Mingjing, like a servant. When he saw someone's tea cup was empty, he took the initiative to help refill the cup.

"I've been back. My second grandfather is not in good health. I went back to visit his old man." Shen Xinglan's face remained as usual and his voice was calm.

With his current status, he is not much weaker than the prince.

His grandfather was the Imperial Military Prime Minister Shen Wuxiang, his father Shen Jingchen was a deputy director of the Supervisory Committee, and his mother was a senior official of the Ministry of Finance. The Shen family is full of talented people and has a great reputation.

Even though they have deliberately kept a low profile over the years, they still sit firmly at the head of the nine major families, and no family can easily shake their position.

When people mention Shen Xinglan, they always describe her as "I wouldn't change it for a prince."

"Oh, what's wrong with the second master? I've been following my father's side recently to observe political practice, and I haven't visited Mount Luojia for a long time." Zhong Tianque asked with a concerned look: "Are you okay? Do you want to let the palace know? Will the doctor come and take a look?"

"It's okay. It's just that I'm old and caught the cold. I'll be fine after taking a few Chinese medicines." Shen Xinglan looked at Zhong Tianque, thanked him respectfully, and said, "Thank you, eldest prince, for your concern."

"Why are you being polite? We are brothers. I used to eat at your house when I was a child." Zhong Tianque said with a smile: "As long as everything is fine, I will report this to my father when I go back and ask him to send a doctor to take a look. If there are any good medicinal materials in the palace, I will send some of them over. They can nourish the body of Second Grandpa."

"Thank you, eldest prince."

"I've already said that my brothers don't need to be polite." Zhong Tianque said pretending to be dissatisfied.

"Yes, the eldest prince." Shen Xinglan responded.

Although Zhong Tianque tried his best to show his kindness, Shen Xinglan always maintained a humble attitude.

He knew that in this country, those who lived in the Phoenix Palace were the masters, and everyone else was subordinates and slaves.

If someone compliments you and you treat yourself as your master, then you are ignorant of dignity and current affairs, and disaster will soon come your way.

Zhong Tianque nodded, his eyes fell on Xuanyuan Mingjing's face, and he said with a smile: "Before going out, my father specially called me over and told me not to do anything after coming to Bailu Academy, but to come over as soon as possible. The dean also asked me to say hello to you on his behalf, so that you can have time to drink tea in the palace."

"Thank you, the king, and thank you, the eldest prince. I will go over and drink tea with the king when I have time." Xuanyuan Mingjing responded.

"Then my father is very happy. He likes to play chess with the dean the most." Zhong Tianque looked at Xuanyuan Mingjing with respect and said with a smile: "I was entrusted by my father to come here to see the preparations for the Tiandao Exchange Meeting. Condition."

"Of the four major academies in the empire, my father still values ​​Egret Academy the most. This time the Tiandao Exchange Meeting will be held in Egret Mountain because he believes that Egret students can win glory for the empire."

"Egret students must be dedicated to their studies."

"I believe in the dean, and I also believe in the students of Egret Academy." Zhong Tianque nodded with a smile, stood up and said, "Tianque has official duties and cannot stay long. I will come and have tea with the dean after I finish my work."

"Go and get busy." Xuanyuan Mingjing said loudly: "The director of the department will be responsible for accompanying and receiving. He is also familiar with these tasks than me."

"I'm just helping the dean to run errands." Si Yinchuan said with a smile, he was very clear about his position.

He knew that he, the vice-president, was Xuanyuan Mingjing's secretary assistant. Xuanyuan Mingjing was devoted to martial arts and didn't like to be disturbed by worldly affairs, so he sent him, a "down-to-earth" person, to work.

"Here comes Dean Laosi." Zhong Tianque thanked Si Yinchuan.

"What did your Highness say? Isn't this what we should do?" Si Yinchuan waved his hand modestly.

Xuanyuan Mingjing looked at Tang Bandi and Shen Xinglan and said, "The eldest prince rarely comes to Bailu Academy. You two should go and accompany him and learn from the eldest prince how to behave."

"How dare you do this? We are all students of the dean, so we should learn more from the dean." Zhong Tianque bowed slightly and said respectfully.

"Go." Xuanyuan Mingjing waved his hand and said, "I'm a little tired because of the sun. I'll take a nap first."

After saying that, he closed his eyes and took a nap.

Tang Bandit was filled with envy. He was able to sleep in front of the eldest prince and never stood up from the beginning to the end.

What a comfortable and pleasant life this must be?

In this world, you either have power, money, or absolute strength.

I heard that the dean was also a commoner, but because of his amazing talent in cultivation, he entered the realm of a master at a young age. In the end, Longchang realized the Tao and became a great master.

So he had the capital to despise the powerful and be proud of the princes.

This scene was originally as calm as a breeze, but Tang Bandit was filled with passion and excitement when he saw it.

To become stronger, you must become strong enough.

When he becomes as strong as his master, under the starry sky, who dares to bully and humiliate him?

Zhong Tianque, the eldest prince of the Phoenix Empire, the man who has the greatest hope of becoming the king of a country in the future, doesn't he act respectfully like a schoolboy in front of Xuanyuan Mingjing?

"We won't disturb the dean's rest. Farewell." After Zhong Tianque saluted, he led everyone out of the small courtyard.

When the wooden door of the small courtyard was slowly closed from the outside, Xuanyuan Mingjing, who had just closed his eyes to rest, opened his eyes.

He looked up at the sky and said softly: "I hope you can understand."

The inspection work is tedious and boring. This is not the first time that Egret Academy has hosted a Tiandao exchange meeting. It just needs to modify the previous process and add some new creative points.

However, there were too many documents, the affairs were too complex, and there were various venues that needed to be visited, which really took a lot of time.

Of course, Zhong Tianque didn't care about this. Anyway, he had many professionals working under him.

Zhong Tianque has been busy chatting with Shen Xinglan about daily life and interesting childhood stories.

Si Yinchuan will also insert a few words from time to time to achieve just the right embellishment.

Tang Bandit seemed to be a transparent person. He was still following the eldest prince, but the eldest prince never took the initiative to talk to him, and even rarely glanced at him.

Since he chose Shen Xinglan, there was no need to pay attention to Tang Bandit anymore.

In his mind, the combined weight of a hundred Tang bandits was not as important as one Shen Xinglan.

Si Yinchuan raised his wrist to look at his watch, walked up to Zhong Tianque, and said, "Your Highness, it's lunch time. I have arranged a light meal at Chunhua Qiushi Pavilion. Would you like to take a bite as long as you like?"

Zhong Tianque waved his hand and said: "Why go to Chunhua Qiushi? I have eaten there several times with my father. I have long heard that the student cafeteria of Bailu Academy is the most delicious. Why don't we go to the cafeteria to eat? I can also eat with Bailu. Let’s have a good exchange with the proud sons of heaven.”

"Since Your Highness wants to have fun with the people, let's go to the academy cafeteria." Si Yinchuan said with a smile.

It is lunch time now, and many students are queuing up to get food.

Tang Bandit also saw Chen Tianqi holding a rice bowl and winking at him.

The members of the Guards wanted to prepare meals for Zhong Tianque, but Zhong Tianque refused and said, "I will do it myself. When I was studying at the First Military Academy of the Empire, I also prepared meals by myself. After graduation, I haven't felt this for many years. I really miss that kind of life."

Tang Bandit sneered in his heart. Only these big men like to remember the bitter and the sweet.

Those people who have been living in dire straits just want to lie down and live a happy life with food to eat and clothes to stretch out.

Zhong Tianque took the tray from the self-service robot and walked straight to the back of the queue to queue.

Si Yinchuan looked at Tang Bandit Shen Xinglan and others, smiled and said, "Let's do it ourselves."

After saying that, he also took a tray and followed Zhong Tianque.

Many of the students knew Zhong Tianque and took the initiative to say hello to him.

"His Royal Highness also came to the dining hall to eat."

"His Royal Highness is really friendly to the people."

"His Royal Highness, the eldest prince, personally lined up in our cafeteria. The braised pork is a must-have. His highness, the prince, must try it."

——

Zhong Tianque also smiled and chatted with everyone, dealing with them in a decent and enthusiastic manner.

Zhong Tianque found an empty table and sat down. Tang Bandit and others followed him after finishing their meal.

Zhong Tianque took a large piece of braised pork and stuffed it into his mouth, and said, "It was recommended by my classmates. They said you must try the braised pork in the cafeteria when you come to Bailu Academy. I'll give it a try."

After eating a piece, he praised it again and again, saying that it really lived up to its reputation.

"Then your Highness should eat more. The master chef in our cafeteria still has some special dishes, and Your Highness will try them soon." Si Yinchuan said with a smile.

"I'm not polite, I have to feast on my mouth."

Just after taking a few bites, Zhong Tianque suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in his stomach, and his stomach moved violently.

Zhong Tianque frowned, adjusted his sitting posture, and silently clamped his buttocks.

Unfortunately, I still couldn't clamp it.

puff.

Zhong Tianque suddenly let out a loud fart.

Because of the arrival of the First Prince and Si Yinchuan, the students were somewhat cautious.

They also believed in the ancient rule of saying nothing during eating and sleeping. Most students just immersed themselves in eating. Almost no one spoke. Even if someone spoke, they only whispered to each other in an extremely low voice. The cafeteria seemed extremely quiet.

The quieter the cafeteria was, the louder the fart was.

Zhong Tianque's face turned red, and he explained embarrassedly: "Maybe I ate something bad this morning and my stomach feels a little uncomfortable. I'm sorry that it has affected everyone."

"It's okay." Si Yinchuan comforted, and said, "Your Highness has a stomach discomfort? Do you want to see the doctor and take some medicine?"

"No need." Zhong Tianque didn't know the seriousness of the matter, and said with a smile: "It's much better."

"That's good." Si Yinchuan nodded without thinking too much.

He also just regards it as a simple fart. People have three urgencies. Who doesn't have a little turbidity in their body?

Zhong Tianque lowered his head to eat again, worried about causing gastrointestinal reactions, he did not dare to eat those greasy braised pork, but put a piece of ice river saury in his mouth.

Before he had time to chew, another sharp pain came from his stomach, and his intestines wriggled more violently, as if they were rolling and playing inside.

"puff"

"puff"

"puff"

"Puff puff"

——

He let out a few little farts first, short, hasty, and lack of momentum.

However, those little farts are pioneer officers and pathfinders.

They unclog the intestines thoroughly, followed by a series of loud farts.

As the old saying goes, a loud fart doesn't stink, and a smelly fart doesn't make a sound.

However, Zhong Tianque completely subverted the cognition of the ancients.

His farts were smelly, loud, and loud.

It has the potential to swallow up mountains and rivers.

At this time, everyone in the cafeteria was attracted by this row of stinky farts.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Zhong Tianque, and even the master chef in the cafeteria window was startled, looking at the place where the sound happened with a horrified expression.

But don’t worry, who has a bad stomach?

The eldest prince and the head of the department are both present, and the master cannot afford this responsibility.

"Your Highness..." Si Yinchuan called out.

Want to say something, but don't know what to say.

Bandit Tang also looked at Zhong Tianque in surprise. Obviously, he didn't expect such a thing to happen...

Shen Xinglan put down the bowl and chopsticks, looked at Zhong Tianque thoughtfully, and the corner of his eye fell on Tang Bandit.

Zhong Tianque's tears are about to come out, why? Why?

I just want to have a meal in the cafeteria, and I just want to show my image of being friendly to the people. How did I encounter such a thing?

Are you going to let people live? Doesn't this allow people to live?

No matter how thick-skinned and adaptable Zhong Tianque was, he couldn't sit still at this time.

His face was flushed and his expression was extremely embarrassing.

He put down his chopsticks, clamped his buttocks tightly, locked his anus with internal strength and mental skills, and said to Si Yinchuan: "Dean Si, I feel a little uncomfortable, so I'm going back first."

"Alright, alright, Your Highness is not feeling well." Si Yinchuan also knew what this scene represented. If it was not handled properly, it would be an image crisis for the royal family.

He also put down his chopsticks and said, "I will take His Highness back."

Zhong Tianque felt like his stomach was churning. He didn't dare to say any more kind words, so he stood up and walked outside.

Just after taking a few steps, a strong current of air rushed down and wanted to spurt out.

Zhong Tianque wanted to hold it back, but obviously, he couldn't.

Since he's already farted so many times, he doesn't care about one more.

So, his legs relaxed and he wanted to be completely released.

Poof

Large globs of liquid flowed out.

silence.

Deathly silence.

An inappropriate voice sounded at this moment: "His pants are wet."

"."

It’s the end of the month, which little cutie still has a monthly vote in his hand that hasn’t been voted yet?
