The willow tree is less than ten meters away from the gate of Hongwenguan. There are two stone lions half a person tall in front of the door. On one of the right hands, a child in his teenage clothes, with a pale face and a thin skin. Many of the people around him are pointing at him. The child Lu Xin recognized that the day after he first arrived in Chang'an, he had seen it in the Yanxiang Building in Jing'anfang.

Luo Binwang, the future four heroes of the Tang Dynasty, is a famous figure in the world. But what shocked Lu Xin was that Luo Binwang at this time was even stronger than he had been a few days ago. Any Onmyoji could feel the terrifying magic power hidden in his body.

A child about ten years old not only has a profound cultivation level, but also deliberately releases a breath. This is obviously an extremely strange thing. At least at Yanxianglou, Luo Binwang was not so sharp.

"Hmph, you can tell that he was from a poor family based on his dress. Maybe he is just a scholar. Otherwise, which prefecture prosecutor dares to be so presumptuous?"

"Child, hurry up and get off the back of the stone lion. This is Hongwenguan, not a place where you play house."

The crowd of onlookers shouted loudly as they spoke. A few older ones even brought out the teachings of Confucius and Mencius and cursed them. The child was impatient when he heard this, and suddenly opened his eyes, and his magic power was shaking. With the stone lion as the center, everyone within a radius of one meter flew backwards.

These candidates who went to Beijing to take the exam were all ordinary people, and they could not resist the power of a powerful Onmyoji. Looking under the willow tree, Luo Binwang opened his eyes and his left pupil was normal, but his right pupil was completely pitch black, as if he was dripping with ink.

"What's going on... This kid is so evil. Is it a monster?"

"Yes, it's a monster! Come on, catch monsters, there are monsters in front of Hongwenguan."

"Where? What monsters and ghosts dare to cause trouble in the land of sages?"

Luo Binwang's noise was too loud and it instantly attracted everyone's attention. Especially those who were shocked by magic power, their eyes were filled with fear and resentment when they looked at the child. It was not the look of looking at people, but a wild beast and an evil ghost.

The stone lion was soon surrounded by people. Those who stood in front of the front were rich young men wearing brocade clothes and jade pendants. One of them was surrounded by four shirtless men, with the most frivolous and unkind look.

"Hehehe, little baby, I heard you are a monster? One of the things that Zhang Yuzhi wants to do most in his life is to subdue demons for the people. This place is called Hongwenguan, a place where the imperial court studies, and you cannot tolerate you to be presumptuous. I will count three times. If you don't come down and kowtow to admit your mistakes, you will admit that you are a monster. At that time, don't blame me for bullying the small."

The speaker looked only seventeen or eighteen years old, and he looked pretty, but his arms were thick and black, and he obviously had practiced martial arts. As soon as he opened his mouth, some of the men around him retreated one after another, and many people showed horror on their faces.

"Zhang Yuzhi? Could it be the second son of the Right Guard General, Zhang Liang, the general of Huaizhou General, Zhang Yuzhi and Zhang Xiaowei?"

"Yes, I am from Huaizhou. The son of Zhang Liang, the general of the Right Guard, is indeed a man named Zhang Yuzhi. I heard that this man started practicing martial arts at the age of eight, and entered the army to practice at the age of fourteen. The second year he gained military merits. In short, this man should be only eighteen years old this year, and he is already a captain of Zhaowu and is in the sixth rank."

"Zhaowu Captain? That's an amazing high-ranking official. According to the Tang system, this person's official title is already greater than that of the county magistrate. Such a person actually comes to participate in the imperial examination? You know, although it is difficult to take the imperial examination in this Jinshi, it is even more difficult to get it. Even if you pass the third grade, you have to pass the Ministry of Personnel to get the official position. Moreover, most of the official positions will not exceed the sixth rank."

"Hmph, what do you know? They are students from Hongwenguan. Who are the people who can study here? Royal relatives, first-rank officials, and children of founding heroes. A mere Zhaowu lieutenant is far from enough to shine for these nobles. Those who have no backers can indeed become high-ranking officials even if they win the top scorer. But as long as they win a Jinshi, they will be able to rise to the top in the future..."

There was a lot of discussion in the crowd, and most of the eyes of the young people were envious. Zhang Yuzhi seemed to want such an effect, and his expression became more and more proud.

A general's son, a Zhaowu captain who has been in the sixth rank, has indeed had a natural advantage in the face of these scholars who have not yet made fame. The sense of superiority transformed by this advantage is particularly strong in Luo Binwang, who can't afford even a decent piece of clothing on the back of a stone lion.

Seeing that the child was always closing his eyes and ignoring him, Zhang Yuzhi immediately raised the corners of his mouth and his eyes were filled with cold light.

"one two three……"

As the cold voice counted three times, the atmosphere in the audience solidified. Everyone stopped talking, and those close to the stone lions did not even dare to exhale. However, the child still did not open his eyes, with expressionless expression on his face, as if he could not hear any sound. Zhang Yuzhi had never been so neglected, and he immediately smiled grimly, signaling the four guards beside him to take action. Lu Xin's face changed slightly, and he was about to step forward. Suddenly, a loud laugh sounded beside him.

"I said what's going on? It's so lively. It turns out that Brother Yu Zhi is here. Why is it so uncomfortable to stay in Huaizhou and come to Chang'an for fun?"

The sudden sound was frivolous and joking, and a faint smile was filled with a hint of mockery, which was clearly the person who came. Lu Xin quickly stopped and looked around and saw a young man in purple wearing a donkey walking slowly. There was no follower around him, but his temperament was noble and his face was full of spring breeze.

Passing by the willow tree, the man slowly tied the donkey under the tree, nodded slightly to Lu Xin, without saying anything, and soon walked towards the crowd.

At this time, Zhang Yuzhi was already in anger and wanted to beat him by himself. Seeing the man in purple appear, a trace of ferocious look flashed across his face.

"Why, don't you do it anymore? He's just a child. Your dignified Zhaowu Captain and the son of the county prince, actually want to bully him? You really give your father a face, hahahahahaha..."

"Hmph, Cui Xiangrong, what kind of thing are you? You dare to be sarcastic and arrogant in front of this captain? I bully him, why do you ask these disciples why I bully him?"

"Hahaha, what? My Boling Cui family has been the best high-ranking clan in the world since ancient times. However, your Zhang family has just created a Changping County Duke. It would be fine if you, Zhang Yuzhi, relying on your power, show off your power in Huaizhou. But this is Chang'an, at the foot of the emperor. I kindly advise you, and I should restrain you."

When the man in purple said this, his mouth slightly raised, no longer looking at Zhang Yuzhi, but instead turned his eyes on Luo Binwang. His eyes gradually became more cautious from frivolousness.

"Boling Cui?"

Lu Xin under the willow tree frowned. He had never noticed the fluctuations of mana from the human body. But judging from Zhang Yuzhi's somewhat afraid expression, Cui Xiangrong, who suddenly appeared, must have a deep background. Otherwise, he would definitely not be able to suppress the majestic Captain Zhaowu.

"Haha, things are getting more and more interesting."

Before coming, Lu Xin had never thought about what interesting things would happen in such a short time when he was waiting for the entrance exam. But now, the first imperial examination after Li Shimin ascended the throne must be a gathering of talented people in the world. The children of officials, families and wealthy families will definitely come out to compete for the best. This situation may be far more complicated than imagined.

"Boling Cui Family! It's over, why are even the people from this clan coming to the imperial examination? Damn, why are my luck so memorizing?"

The scholar also ran to the willow tree at some point, grabbed Lu Xin's sleeve and wiped it on his face. When he turned around, he saw that the scholar had sweat on his face. He didn't know if it was because the weather was too hot or because he was scared because of the nervousness. Tu Chengli, who had always been calm and confident in scientific research, seemed worried at this time. This was the first time Lu Xin saw this.

"Just a family, I'm scared you. I'll listen to you brag on weekdays. When I really do, I know I'm afraid of it when I take the exam?"

"You know what's the matter!" The scholar immediately cursed Ju Niang, then narrowed his eyes and looked at Cui Xiangrong, and lowered his voice and said, "Brother Xin, you don't know anything. The Boling Cui family has been a prominent family since the Eastern Han Dynasty. In the Northern Dynasties, the world was divided into gentry families, and their Cui family was listed as a first-class surname. This is not the end. From the Eastern Han Dynasty to the present, the Boling Cui family has produced more than a dozen prime ministers, generals, and ministers and above. There are countless clan members who are proficient in poetry, calligraphy and painting, and six arts. Throughout the dynasties, as long as there are people from the Boling Cui family participating in the scientific examination, the Jinshi of the same period is destined to be suppressed by him. Perhaps, there will never be a day to stand out."

The scholar's words became lighter and lighter, but Lu Xin still took a breath. More than a dozen prime ministers and hundreds of high-ranking officials, and the family that had reproduced for hundreds of years, had a profound background. No wonder Zhang Yuzhi not only had no advantage in his momentum when facing Cui Xiangrong, but also lowered his aura.

Moreover, in ancient times, reading and nourishing energy were inseparable. Cui Xiangrong's temperament was brought from his bones, and the other part was raised after his great success in his study. Therefore, when Lu Xin appeared, he felt a great scholar's aura similar to Kong Wen. The scholar obviously felt this and suddenly became nervous.

"The first-class high-ranking clan? Hahaha, Cui Xiangrong, I think you are crazy about gaining and losing your heart, right? The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty's surname is Li, and the Li family is the largest surname of this dynasty. What you said just now is that you want to rebel?"

"Oh? Do you think that just a few words can provoke the relationship between me Cui and the Tang royal family? Zhang Yuzhi, Zhang Yuzhi, you are such a stupid reckless man!"

With a cold snorkeling, the stone lion beside Cui Xiangrong suddenly cracked. Luo Binwang, who was sitting cross-legged, suddenly opened his eyes.
