Zhizhou: \"You're An Official, But You're Raising A Bunch Of Demonesses?

Chapter 52: Bai Yu? It's him! Lan Xi's shock!

"Settling the affairs of the world as a king, winning fame before and after death, pity the white-haired life..."

In the Marquis Zhenyuan's mansion, in the training ground, an old general with white hair held a long spear, looking at the rusty armor in front of him, lost in thought.

General Wang Biyue, the Great General of the State, has been on the battlefield for fifty years, a veteran of three dynasties, with remarkable military achievements. He was granted the title of Marquis Zhenyuan and is highly respected in the military. His sons also hold important positions in the military. The Wang family can be considered a powerful force in the court. If there is a war, no one can match his prowess.

"Great talent..."

"This Wenju's new recruit, is he heavily armed?"

At this moment, the old general murmured softly, turning to the grandchildren who were serving him carefully, and asked, "What is his name?"

"Bai Yu."

"How old is he?"

"According to rumors, sixteen years old."

"Sixteen years old?"

Wang Biyue paused, his old eyes clouded, lost in thought.

Then he waved his hand, "I understand, go and do your own things, this old man is not going to die yet."

"Um..."

The people below looked at each other.

Wang Qingfeng, the second son, took a step forward and said, "Father, Prince Lan Chi has sent someone to deliver a greeting card again! He wants to see you."

But the old man didn't even look at him, just held the long spear and danced vigorously in the training ground.

"Ding~"

The long spear, like a gust of wind, whooshed through the air,

With a sound, it pierced straight into the stone floor,

Trembling slightly and humming.

"Tell him, this old man is old and weak, suffering from a serious illness, and cannot receive guests."

The old man waved his hand,

Coldly said.

Several people: ...

You call this weak?

"Yes!" xn

However, they understood and nodded, then retreated.

"Poor white hair... poor white hair..."

The courtyard returned to tranquility,

The old man stood quietly in the center of the martial arts arena.

A gentle breeze blew, gently brushing a few strands of white hair on his face.

He lowered his gaze, unable to stop laughing and crying, repeatedly murmuring the same words: "Poor white hair..."

...

"Your child pays respects to the Emperor."

The handsome young man in black clothes spoke with a clear voice,

Entering the Hall of Diligent Governance,

Looking at his father, who held the supreme power over the world, he respectfully bowed.

Lan Su frowned slightly as he looked at the other's attire, but still waved his hand: "No need for excessive courtesy!"

The young man in black clothes asked, "Father, why did you summon me here?"

"Lan Xi, take a look at this."

Lan Su pointed to the test paper on the desk and said lightly.

"Hmm? An exam question?"

"Father, I have been very busy recently!"

Lan Xi smiled, picked up the test paper, and while reading it, asked Lan Su, "Who is the top scorer? Where are they from?"

"My child, I went to inspect the examination hall on the day of the imperial examination and saw several impressive candidates. In the future, they will surely contribute to the prosperity of our dynasty..."

"Hmm?"

Before she could finish her sentence,

As she looked at the poem in the test paper, she suddenly paused.

"To fulfill the duties of a ruler and bring peace to the world..."

"Brilliant!"

"What a great poem! A masterpiece for the ages!"

"I must invite this person to our gathering of talented poets!"

Her discerning eyes were shining, and she couldn't help but applaud.

She considered herself a literary person as well,

And naturally, she loved such splendid and stunning verses.

However, Lan Su frowned and said in a deep voice, "Keep reading!"

"Um..."

Lan Xi hesitated,

Her desire to savor the poem further extinguished, she continued reading.

"Such talent, such talent..."

"Is this the top scorer of this examination?"

As she read further, Lan Xi's eyes widened even more, and she couldn't help but exclaim in astonishment.

But when she reached the end, when she reached the crucial turning point...

She suddenly froze, as if she had seen something terrifying.

Her pupils contracted,

She immediately raised her head,

With a crisp sound, she merged the scrolls in her hand together, as if they contained evil spirits.

Her previously relaxed and gentle smile disappeared completely.

"Father, who is this person?"

"I want to meet him now!"

She had a serious expression on her face and asked Lan Su in a deep voice.

"Do you want to kill him?"

Lan Su did not answer her question, but looked into her eyes and asked.

Lan Xi subconsciously shook her head and replied, "No, I want to ask him for advice..."

However, Lan Su seemed disappointed and persistently asked, "Why don't you want to?!"

"Um..."

Lan Xi hesitated,

wanting to answer, but not knowing what to say.

Lan Su waved his hand, no longer pressing for an answer, and simply replied, "His name is Bai Yu, sixteen years old this year, from Liuzhou."

"Bai Yu?"

Lan Xi was stunned again at the mention of the name,

She felt like she had heard this name somewhere before!

Where was it?

'Bai Yu, a person from Liuzhou.'

'When lying is exposed, the favorability will be lost.'

'If you have to hide your identity, chatting becomes boring.'

"Your Highness, next time we meet, why not be more open!"

"Don't be so harsh on it! It will hurt..."

Suddenly,

Memories swirled, frivolous words echoed in her ears.

The face of that young and elegant scholar, the appearance of a carefree wanderer, suddenly appeared in her mind.

She suddenly looked up and couldn't help but exclaim,

"Bai Yu!"

"It's him!"

That mysterious person, after meeting once, became unforgettable.
