You are already cultivating immortality, who would fight with you alone?

Chapter 391 Lucky Su Liang

After hearing Liu Yuntian's order, the four guards outside the door rushed in as quickly as an arrow.

Two of them moved swiftly, like a tiger pouncing on its prey, and instantly pinned Su Liang down on the bench that the eunuch had hastily brought over.

The other two held the long sticks steadily, as if they were ready to carry out the execution at any time.

At this moment, the whole scene was extremely tense, as if time had stopped. Everyone held their breath, waiting for Liu Yuntian to give the signal to execute.

At this critical moment, Su Liang shouted in horror: "Wait!"

His face was filled with panic, and he struggled desperately to break free from the two guards, while looking to Lord Qian for help.

He shouted at the top of his lungs, "Mr. Qian! This thief Liu is clearly seeking revenge for his personal grudge! You must not condone his absurd behavior!!!"

Speaking of Su Liang, he was just an ordinary mortal without any cultivation at all.

Being able to become the top scorer in the imperial examination was just like a dream to him. Until now, he still hasn't figured out what happened.

He only remembered that the village teacher once told him that if he could one day serve as an official in the court of Liang State, it would be much more promising and prestigious than being an ordinary disciple in any sect!

So, with such naive ideas and a desire for wealth and glory, even though he had failed countless times, he was still unwilling to give up.

In the end, with no other options left, he had to sell the last bit of land in his family and came to the capital with all his belongings, determined to make this last attempt.

However, ever since he had gone through the long and arduous nine-subject examination, he had been in a dazed and confused state, and has not yet fully awakened.

Even my memory of answering the test paper is very vague.

But at that time he had no way out and could only put his hopes in God.

During those countless leisurely and boring times, whenever he fell into a dazed state, his thoughts would drift away involuntarily.

He prayed silently in his heart: "Merciful God, please protect me. If one day I can enter the court of Liang State and become an official, I swear to do my best to be a good official who loves the country and the people and is honest and upright! Not only that, I will resolutely eradicate those treacherous and flattering villains and maintain my own integrity and dedication to public service!"

These vows echoed in his mind over and over again, as if they had been deeply engraved in the depths of his soul.

Finally, the long-awaited day of announcement of results arrived.

That morning, the sun cast fine shadows through the mottled leaves, and the breeze gently brushed across my cheeks, bringing a hint of coolness.

With a heart as nervous as a fluttering deer, he hurried to the place where the list was posted. The crowd was bustling and noisy, but he turned a deaf ear to it and fixed his eyes on the list.

As my sight slowly moved, when I saw my name appear at the top of the list, time seemed to freeze in an instant.

He stared at the familiar yet strange name with eyes wide open in disbelief. His lips trembled slightly as he muttered to himself, "I... I actually won?"

Before he finished speaking, an intense joy surged into his heart like a tide, breaking down his last line of defense of rationality.

I just felt that everything in front of me began to spin, and the noise around me gradually became blurred.

Then, darkness came over him, he lost consciousness, and fell limply to the ground.

After an unknown amount of time, when he slowly woke up, he found himself lying on a soft and comfortable big bed in a room decorated in an extremely luxurious and magnificent manner.

Looking around, exquisite furniture is arranged in an orderly manner, and valuable calligraphy and paintings are hung on the walls, showing the wealth and elegance of the owner of this place everywhere.

After some inquiries, he found out that this was actually the residence of a wealthy businessman in the capital.

When the wealthy man heard the good news that he had been the top scorer in the imperial examination, he sent someone to take the unconscious him home and take good care of him.

Naturally, he was grateful for the kindness of the official.

However, while the two were talking, the official suddenly revealed his idea of ​​marrying his daughter to him and taking this opportunity to establish connections with the powerful.

Hearing this, his smiling face suddenly turned gloomy, and his eyes revealed deep disgust.

Without hesitation, he sternly rejected the official's proposal.

Because in his mind, being able to pass the imperial examination and enter the court to serve as an official was undoubtedly a response and gift from God to his sincere prayers.

Now is the time for him to fulfill his promise and serve the country and the people. He must not be seduced by wealth and fame, nor should he deviate from the right path because of his children's personal affairs.

He secretly made up his mind that he would become a good official who was honest and upright and would speak up for the people in this life!

No matter how rough and difficult the road ahead is, it cannot shake his unwavering sense of justice.

But now, that hateful Liu Yuntian actually tried to impose a non-existent crime on him in an attempt to suppress him.

Faced with such an unfair and dangerous situation, he not only had no intention of retreating, but he became more and more determined in his heart that all the hardships he had suffered were deliberate tests and training from God.

Because he firmly believed that he was the messenger representing the will of heaven!

He is like a sacred ambassador walking through the world, shouldering the great mission of correcting wrongs and maintaining justice and peace in the world!

After passing the list, he stepped into the solemn and dignified palace with full expectations.

The palace examination that will determine the final fate is about to be held here. According to common sense, this palace examination should be conducted by the extremely noble Emperor himself to test the student's knowledge.

Unfortunately, the emperor of Liang had passed away long ago, and now the important task of presiding over this palace examination fell on the powerful official Liu Yuntian.

Although he had never seen Liu Yuntian in person before, for some reason, just hearing his name made a strange feeling of disgust arise in his heart.

Since ancient times, the order of ruler-ruler and subject-subject has been a matter of course.

But the power and wealth held by Liu Yuntian, a minister in front of him, far exceeded that of an emperor.

This abnormal phenomenon is really worrying.
