Li Yuebai didn't know anything about Xue Heng's sparseness, although he lost the title of champion, he didn't take it to heart, he felt that since he had obtained the Jinshi and his long-cherished wish had been fulfilled, he could return to his hometown to marry Chen Bingqian, and then apply to join the army and serve the country.

The venue of the banquet was selected in the Hanguang Hall in the northeast corner behind the Minghua Palace. When night fell, except for the generals stationed in Hezhou and the Wuxin mage of Gongwei Jingshi, all the officials above the fifth rank and the new science scholars had gathered at His Royal Highness Hanguang. Emperor Pingwu and Empress Dong sat side by side on the imperial couch, the relatives of the emperor sat down in order on the first place in the palace, the civil officials below sat in the east, the military attachés sat in the west, the scholars within the top three sat under the hundred officials, and the outside of the top three sat down under the Danqi in the main hall.

Li Yuebai sat behind all the scholars, and he looked around and found that compared to other people's wine and food, his share was very shabby and simple. He shook his head and smiled bitterly, for the hearts of the world, the experience after the dragon and tiger duel has been learned.

Recalling the earnest teachings of the Seven Star Cave Mansion Divine Venerable, as well as Fang Ping's long talk on a rainy night, Li Yuebai's heart was in turmoil, and he just wanted to leave the capital as soon as possible and return to Chen Bingqian's side. Only when he was with her was there no calculation, no competition, no jealousy, no humiliation, and even no humility.

Li Yuebai was thinking about one person, that is, Lin Feng, the champion of the new department, he didn't know if Lin Feng would still regard himself as a close friend, he couldn't help but worry, under the name of power, people's hearts are always fickle. He admired Lin Feng's arithmetic skills, and he could accurately predict his top prize, but the stories and twists and turns during this period were unpredictable.

In the main hall, the teaching workshop played the "Yan Jing Kaiyun Song" and "Changyang Song", Li Yuebai and everyone followed Emperor Pingwu to go on a number of patrols, drunkenness hit, he suddenly felt a period of loneliness, looked up at the sky, the blue sky in late autumn was like washing, and the moon and stars were scarce. In the vast sky, under the vast blue sky, the gods seem to have arranged everything properly, and everything in the world is just a chess game for them to play.

Since the Emperor of Heaven is omniscient and omnipotent, if this is the case, he must be very lonely and bored, if he sees through the ending from the beginning, it is really boring! Therefore, he created all things in the world, good and evil, beautiful and ugly, just as he created chaos, just to pass the time of boredom and loneliness? Was he extremely selfish or infinitely generous? Endow sentient beings with spirituality and seven emotions and six desires, experience love and hatred, success and failure, pain and happiness. Do people live for a purpose? Does it make sense? If it makes sense, what is it exactly?

Li Yuebai's mind kept flashing these strange thoughts, and his thoughts were like wild horses on the loose, galloping across the country.

"Your Majesty has an edict, Xuan Zhuangyuan Lin Feng and Xinke Jinshi Li Yuebai will meet you!" The eunuch's call woke Li Yuebai from his contemplation, and he hurriedly straightened his clothes, calmed his mind, and walked along the Dan steps towards the throne of Hanguang Palace.

Li Yuebai walked into the hall, Lin Feng was already standing in His Royal Highness, he glanced back at Li Yuebai, smiled embarrassedly, and was slightly ashamed, as if to say that he really didn't want this champion, but there was no way, His Majesty had to give it to him.

Li Yuebai understood what he meant, nodded and smiled indifferently, signaling that he didn't have to mind, these names between brothers were as light as a feather. Lin Feng is very smart, he understands it at the moment, and with a smile, the two of them have made friends in an instant, and they have understood each other's minds.

Emperor Pingwu sat on the throne and waited for Li Yuebai to approach and take a closer look. This was unbelievable, and Emperor Pingwu's face suddenly turned pale, as if he had been struck by a scorching thunderbolt. Li Yuebai's appearance is dusty, but he looks too similar to a person, which involves an old past hidden in the heart of Emperor Pingwu, a secret that no one can touch. He suddenly regretted yesterday's decision, agreed to Xue Heng's request, and released Li Yuebai from the prison of the Criminal Department.

"No way! No way! Emperor Pingwu said secretly. He was uneasy, and hurriedly whispered to Empress Dong who was sitting on the side.

"Your Majesty is relieved, how can it be? There are many coincidental things in the world, not to mention the appearance of people, if Your Majesty is not at ease, send someone to carefully check it. Empress Dong comforted him softly.

Empress Dong's voice was very soft, and everyone was confused for a while, only to feel that the atmosphere was a little strange.

"You are Li Yuebai?" Emperor Pingwu ignored Lin Feng, the champion on the side, and asked directly.

"The grass people are exact, Li Yuebai has seen Your Majesty." Li Yuebai returned the salute.

"Where are you? How old are you this year? Parent's name? Who is my grandfather? Emperor Pingwu asked in a cannon.

Li Yuebai wondered, His Majesty seemed to be very interested in his life experience, although everyone felt strange, but they couldn't guess it.

"Back to Your Majesty, the grass people of Changqing Province, nine out of ten this year, my father Li Che, my mother Chen Minzhi, and my grandfather Li Kai." Li Yuebai replied indifferently.

"Oh, I remember, your grandfather seems to have been a scholar in the province." Emperor Pingwu said.

"Back to Your Majesty, Li Kai, the grandfather of the grass people, did serve as the Wupin Langzhong of Zhongshu Province." Li Yuebai replied.

"I see. I see. Emperor Pingwu's expression was suddenly relieved, his tone softened a lot, he looked Li Yuebai up and down again, smiled slightly, and nodded. Then Emperor Pingwu asked Lin Feng about some of his life experience, and Lin Feng replied politely and politely.

"Li Yuebai, I heard that you Xiaolongyuan raised a sword to slay demons, and the prince and I talked about your sword is a very powerful treasure, can you bring it today? Give me a look? "Emperor Pingwu is eager to see the Hauni Sword.

"Back to Your Majesty, the grass people have followed the orders of His Royal Highness the Prince, and have brought their swords to the palace, please take a look!" After Li Yuebai finished speaking, he untied the long sword from his waist and handed it to the eunuch, who carefully presented it to Emperor Pingwu.

Emperor Pingwu took the rainbow sword, pulled the sword out of its scabbard, and a colorful neon light shot out from the sword body, and the divine light was shining, instantly reflecting the hall. The hilt of the sword is like a flower, and the body of the sword is as clear as water, as if it was born from the hilt of the sword, and it is natural.

"Sword! What a rare treasure! In the palace, only Xi and Shenxi can compare with it. The sword deserves to be worthy of the talent of the divine horse! Emperor Pingwu couldn't help but admire.

"This thing is a gift from the gods, how can the grass people be virtuous, if Your Majesty likes it, I implore Your Majesty to accept it!" Li Yuebai saw that Emperor Pingwu couldn't put down the sword, and wanted to take the opportunity to give the Hauni Sword to Emperor Pingwu.

Li Yuebai was very conflicted in his heart, and Zhuang Yidie's rhetoric in his dream of entrusting Yu Hua's back body made him feel more and more that the sword was entrusted with a heavy responsibility. He didn't have the confidence to take on such a heavy responsibility, and just wanted to live an ordinary life with Chen Bingqian for the rest of his life.

"By no means, such a treasure should be a talent. The future of Huaxia depends on talents like you, and thousands of young people like you! How can I steal treasures because of my temporary preferences, this sword can help you kill the enemy and serve the country! I have decided to appoint you as the lieutenant general of the partial division of the Xichu chieftain, and in a few days I will travel with Zhang Xing, the general of Zhaoyong. I will give you the title of General Wu Yi, and the official rank will be from the fifth rank. Although I have deprived you of the title of champion, for the new scholar, the worship of the official from the fifth grade is unprecedented, which shows that I am kind to you. This sword belongs to you, and it belongs to you alone! I hope you will fight bravely to kill the enemy and serve the country after you go west, and don't let me down! Emperor Pingwu Yin Yin asked.
