Chapter 860: The Candidate Sets Off

The drums outside the county government were bursting and crowded. Two tigers danced and competed for a hydrangea, attracting people to stop and cheer.

Some merchants took their mothers-in-law to guard the gate of the county office, waiting for the woman who was running for high priesthood to come out. You know, the high priest is only chosen once every thirty years, and it is good luck to catch up. If you can make friends with the candidates in advance, the benefits in the future are unimaginable. Even if the candidate cannot win the position of high priest in one fell swoop, but only becomes a priest, it is still beautiful; Even if you can't be a priest, but only a priest, it's a phoenix-tailed chicken head, which is beyond people's reach. It is said that those who enter the Feihong Hall can have an eternal face, which is really yearning.

Some families moved their minds to send their daughters to run for the high priest's election, and prepared a rich filial piety silver, but they couldn't see the county commander Qu Nanyi at all. I found a servant and wanted them to pass on a message, but no one dared to do things with money, as if this was a hot potato. There are also people who are afraid that their daughters will be chosen, so they will stay empty in the Feihong Hall for thirty years, and then ...... I don't know what to do. Feihong Hall is like a mysterious golden mountain, which is both desirable and terrifying. Just because, all the old people who have retired will disappear in the world. No one knows, dead or alive, where they have gone? Occasionally, one or two people claiming to be the previous priest or priest would disappear inexplicably, making people think they had seen a ghost.

Despite this, it can't resist people's awe of immortals, yearning for power, and longing for money and ageless appearance. The merchants and people of Liuhe County have prepared generous gifts and are waiting to be given to the two candidates. Even if they lose the election, it is not a pity to give out these generous gifts. After all, doing business is all about making and losing.

In the hall of the county government, two women stood quietly on both sides. The two of them were both wearing white dresses, carrying white packages, holding a long sword, and wearing a white curtain fence, dressed themselves as if they didn't know the fireworks in the world, as if they were about to fly into immortals. They all felt that their outfit must be different, but they ...... The similarity is so tragic that it is heart-wrenching.

These two people are Hua Ruyan and Feng Yunxi.

They arrived at the county office early in the morning and waited for their departure.

As a result, the county commander Qu Nanyi did not appear for a long time. Without his paperwork seal, they would not have been able to run to Chang'an to run for election. This is half an hour.

The two didn't want to deal with each other, so they just relied on it. I don't need to say anything more about my anxiety.

After a while, Sohou put on a black mask on his face, took out documents and seals, and sent them to the two of them respectively, and said inarticulately: "I don't know if the two of you are going by car, or do you need to be escorted by two officials sent by the Yamen?" ”

Feng Yunxi said: "Trouble the little brother to send someone to escort you." ”

Hua Ruyan said: "You can go alone." ”

The two glanced at each other across the curtain, which was really a hidden murderous motive.

Sohou was a little embarrassed. Let two officials escort a candidate on a trip, and if something happens to a man or a woman, everyone will be held accountable. Although Qu Nanyi's status is not ordinary, he will not be punished, but his face is really not good-looking. It's important to stay idle.

Sohou said: "Can you two discuss it, it's best to go together, and have a care along the way." "Actually, Prime Minister Wei has already ordered him to go down and leave for Chang'an immediately. It's just that the Wei family, because of Prime Minister Wei, is very disgusted with priests and the like, and even with them, they don't want to see these people who are running for high priesthood. Prime Minister Wei didn't give special orders, so Sohou wouldn't take the two of them with him.

Feng Yunxi didn't want to behave particularly unsocially, so he took the first step and said, "Since that's the case, let's go along." ”

Hua Ruyan didn't say anything more, but asked: "The old man travels, why doesn't Nanyi come to see him off?" ”

Sohou replied: "The adults are unwell all day long, and they don't see the guests, and I ask the girl to take care of them." He clenched his fists and made a gesture of please, "Two, please." There are officials waiting outside the door, and they will escort the two to Chang'an. ”

Hua Ruyan nodded.

Feng Yunxi asked curiously, "Who are you?" How to wear a mask? ”

Sohou touched the mask on his face and said vaguely: "It's just a casual matter." ”

Hua Ruyan turned around and walked out.

Feng Yunxi puffed up his chest, walked two steps quickly, walked side by side with Hua Ruyan, enjoying the enthusiasm of the people, and receiving the expensive congratulatory gifts from the wives and concubines of the merchants.

Feng Yunxi didn't expect that just by running for the election of the high priest, he would receive gifts and receive soft hands. It's a shortcut to making a fortune! She secretly swore that she must be elected as the high priest, and when the time comes, she must let Hu Yan kneel and lick her shoes!

Both received a full box of gold, silver, and jewelry, and were richly entangled. Feng Yun couldn't help but be overjoyed, but his face was as usual. It's just that the expressions of the two are blocked by the curtain, and others can't see it really.

Sohou prepared a carriage for the two, and the two officials took turns to catch the carriage and traveled all the way to Ouyang City.

To run for the election of the high priest, he will start from Ouyang City, compete all the way, and move all the way to Chang'an. The final results will be announced in the Feihong Hall in Chang'an. In the carriage, Feng Yunxi and Hua Ruyan sat on one side, put them behind the jewelry box and luggage, took off the curtain fence on their heads, and looked at each other.

Feng Yunxi didn't expect that it was Hua Ruyan who went with him. She didn't know Hua Ruyan, but she had passed by her and was deeply impressed by her. She was afraid that Feng Yunqi would be attracted by Hua Ruyan, so she paid special attention to her. No, there is no intersection between Feng Yunqi and Hua Ruyan. Later, she heard from the official that Hua Ruyan was disfigured, and she was secretly happy for a long time. Unexpectedly, Hua Ruyan's face was restored to its original state, and there were no traces of disfigurement.

Feng Yunxi's heart was sour with jealousy, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he said affectionately: "I didn't know just now, I didn't know that my sister looked like a fairy." Being able to walk with my sister is overjoyed. ”

Hua Ruyan's gaze fell on Feng Yunxi's face, and he smiled faintly, like a lotus flower blooming. She said: "You and I are destined, we need to support each other on this road, in order to perform extraordinary and win the position of choice." ”

Feng Yunxi nodded, smiled very innocently, and said, "Exactly." You and I are both from Liuhe County, so we should support each other. Whoever takes the position of high priest must take care of the other person and make him a priest. You say, okay, sister? As he spoke, he moved his buttocks and sat down next to Hua Ruyan, and he wanted to reach out to pull Hua Ruyan's arm.

Hua Ruyan looked at Feng Yunxi, her face was gloomy, and her eyes were not good.

Feng Yunxi's hand froze in front of Hua Ruyan's arm, and the muscles in her whole body began to contract, and she sensed the danger.

Hua Ruyan turned her gaze away lightly and said, "I'm not used to being close to people. ”

Feng Yunxi's stiff face squeezed out a hint of a smile, and said sharply: "I can only wronged my sister." After all, this carriage is so small, if you accidentally bump into your sister, your sister shouldn't be angry. Oh, by the way, I had a relationship with my sister, I don't know if my sister remembers. ”

Hua Ruyan said coldly: "I don't remember important people deeply. Sister, forgive me. ”

Feng Yunxi's smile froze on his face and began to shatter, but he continued: "I am very impressed with my sister. I heard that my sister's face was disfigured, and I was sad for a while. Thinking, such a beautiful face is so disfigured? He pretended to sigh, "Hey...... Isn't that something that is not an adult, not a ghost?! Thankfully, it's back to normal. ”

Hua Ruyan closed her eyes, the corners of her lips raised a strange arc, and said quietly: "Disfigured...... "No more follow-up.

Feng Yunxi felt a little creepy, rubbed his arm with his hand, returned to his seat, leaned on the corner of the car, and began to check what he had obtained today. I like gold so much, silver tickets are also good, jade is so beautiful, and jade bracelets are the most beautiful for her complexion......

The carriage was a little dim, and after she took all the treasures she had gotten in front of her eyes and looked through them carefully, she smiled contentedly and fell on the treasure chest of flowers.

Some rich men have prepared double portions of gifts; There are also some people who go for the flowers. Feng Yunxi always felt that Hua Ruyan's treasure chest was much more valuable than the one in his hand. She'd heard that some treasures were worth a fortune. She didn't mean to steal, she just wanted to see......

Thinking so, Feng Yunxi stretched out his hand to the treasure chest of flowers. She has been under the fence since she was a child, and she is the best at managing and investigating strictly. Therefore, when she reached out to the treasure chest, she subconsciously looked up at Hua Ruyan. No, Hua Ruyan was looking at her with her eyes down. There was a cruel look in the coldness, like looking at a dying little thing.

Feng Yunxi felt his breath suffocated, and said with a dry smile: "Sister, let's take a look together, what kind of treasure do you get?" ”

Hua Ruyan said: "I don't like other people to touch my things. Do you need a long lesson? ”

Feng Yunxi only felt a cool breath rising from the soles of his feet, but he said forcefully: "Why is my sister so scared? If you and I go to the high priesthood together, we must naturally be fraternal. He put his treasure chest next to the seat of Hua Ruyan, "This is my baby, sister, just look at it!" Cheeky, she opened the treasure chest directly, poked her fingers into it, and turned the treasures into a loud noise.

Hua Ruyan's fingers moved, but finally took it back.

Feng Yunxi squinted his eyes and glanced at Hua Ruyan, turned his head, and pursed his lips and smiled proudly. She hugged Hua Ruyan's treasure chest to her lap, played with the valuables inside, and finally determined that Hua Ruyan's treasure chest was indeed much more valuable than hers.

Feng Yunxi was not very happy, pursed his lips, closed the lid of the box with a snap, and put it back in place.

Hua Ruyan closed her eyes and began to sleep.

Feng Yunxi was a little excited, twisting around in the carriage, lifting the window to look out for a while, and looking at Hua Ruyan for a while. Eventually, she set her sights on the cloth bag.

Feng Yunxi's cloth bag contained a change of clothes, showing the shape of a boat, but the flowery cloth bag was stuffed with a round thing, which looked really weird.

Feng Yunxi's curiosity was too strong, she had the heart to look at it, but she was afraid that it would really annoy Hua Ruyan and end badly. She waited for a while, and saw that Hua Ruyan seemed to be really asleep, so she stretched out her hand to Hua Ruyan's package.

Just as she was about to touch the package, she suddenly felt a gust of wind hit the back of her neck. She looked at each other and passed out in the carriage, unknown to her. Hua Ruyan lowered her eyes and looked at Feng Yunxi and was silent.
