Chapter 382 Don't Treat Us as Stepping Stones

In the next few days, Gu Zhao acted neither hurry nor slow.

Even Yun Congjiyu knew that she was about to take the talent selection exam in Zhongshuo Mansion, and met her in person, gave her a set of excellent four treasures in the study, expressing her support, and Gu Zhao was not too anxious.

In the morning, she taught several students at Yuncong's house, and in the afternoon she went to the gate of Zhongshuo Mansion to take a look. Hong Yeke probably made up his mind to take this path, and would find someone to discuss it here almost every afternoon.

After watching the fun, Gu Zhao would walk back to his residence and review the books at home.

Although there are many things that Gu Zhao dislikes, one thing that he has to admit is that his knowledge is still relatively solid. Whether it is Donghao or Bei'an, almost no one can defeat Hong Yeke in knowledge.

It should be that Gu Zhao's words last time left a deep impression on Hong Yeke. Hong Yeke never challenged Gu Zhao again. This made Gu Zhao even more willing to watch calmly.

Hong Yeke's three consecutive days of victory made all Dong Hao scholars feel blank on their faces, and their eyes when they looked at Hong Yeke were full of hostility.

On the fourth day, Gu Zhao was still standing by watching Hongye Kli fight against the heroes as usual, two familiar scholars came over to salute her, "Hejun, I wonder if you have time tonight? We have a small party, I hope you can attend."

Gu Zhao showed a slight look of surprise, "Go?"

The two saluted her deeply, "Yes, we often meet in front of Zhongshuo's mansion these days. I want to share my reading experience together. We admire Hejun's style very much, and hope Hejun can take the time to participate!"

Gu Zhao showed off her reserved smile when she was socializing again, "This is such an honor. I don't know where the specific time and place are?"

Both Donghao scholars were happy and quickly told Gu Zhao about their time and place.

Gu Zhao nodded, "Okay, I will definitely go then."

The two of them saluted repeatedly, turned around and left, and walked to another Donghao scholar and said something. While speaking, they looked back at Gu Zhao.

Gu Zhao naturally could see that they were using their identity and reputation to invite others to join.

But she didn't intend to stop it, it was what she wanted.

She came here every day not just to watch the fun, but to observe who is more suitable to be the "murderer" who killed Hong Yeke.

In the evening, Gu Zhao attended the party on time.

The venue for the party was a very typical Donghao style secret wine house - this kind of secret wine house only entertains Donghao people, from the boss to the waiter, they are all from Donghao people, and they do not receive Bei'an people at all.

Gu Zhao almost stepped on it. There were already twenty or thirty Donghao scholars in the huge room, leaving Gu Zhao with a seat.

"Everyone!" After drinking a few glasses of wine, the young man sitting in the master's position spoke, "The Bei'an pig is becoming more and more arrogant. If this continues, Da Hao's face will be ruined by him."

"Are we just watching him, Bei'an Pig, show off his power in front of Zhongshun's Mansion? Zhongshun knows that, don't we think we are all wastes, but instead promoted the Bei'an Pig?"

Gu Zhao remembers that this young man was a defeated man from Hong Yeke.

His identity is a bit special, and he is the branch of the Donghao royal family, named Yi Lanminxue. From this name, perhaps his parents' expectation for him is to become a talented man.

To be honest, as a Donghao native, Yi Lanmin's attainment in poetry and literature was already very good. Unfortunately, he met Hong Yeke, who was defeated very miserably at that time.

Yi Lanminxue's identity and talent should have a great influence among Donghao scholars at Douchuan Pass. He gathered so many people, obviously because he wanted to target Hong Yeke, rather than to exchange knowledge.

This is exactly the same as Gu Zhao expected.

Gu Zhao believed that there might be similar gatherings of different sizes elsewhere in Douchuan Pass.

She raised her hand to drink, blocking the smile on the corner of her mouth with her sleeve.

When Yi Lanminxue mentioned this topic, it immediately resonated with everyone present, and many people began to curse Hong Yeke.

But Gu Zhao didn't say anything.

She was sitting next to Yi Lanmin Xue, and Yi Lanmin Xue was looking at her secretly, and she could easily find her reaction that was different from everyone.

Yi Lanminxue is about twenty-five or six years old, not tall, and his face is as thin and long as the soles of his shoes. He stared at Gu Zhao and asked in a deep voice, "Why did Hejun say nothing? Do you think I was wrong?"

He did not lower his voice, and most people in the room heard his question and couldn't help but turn their eyes.

Gu Zhao's posture in the position was a bit casual. If someone else did it, she might look very rude, but she had a long figure and handsome appearance, but she only looked free and easy.

Hearing Yi Lanminxue's questioning, Gu Zhao's posture did not change much. Instead, he held a small black porcelain wine glass and turned it around between his fingers, and said lightly, "Yi Lanjun, Zhong Shuai's intentions, it's fine if others can't see it, you shouldn't understand."

Yi Lanminxue gritted his teeth unwillingly, "Yes, I know that Zhongshuai's talent selection exam was held this time to win over the Bei'an scholars and lay the foundation for his future attack on Bei'an and gaining the support of the scholars, but!"

"But! This person who was won may not be the one Hong Yeke who didn't know how high the sky was! "

Gu Zhao curled the corners of his mouth, and his fair fingertips twitched the black porcelain cup, and his eyes did not raise up. "But Hong Yeke deliberately showed his talent like this. Now he is the best among the Anshi people in Tokawa Guanbei."

"Even because of his current fame, Zhongshuai must also give him a good grade and a good position."

This is what Yi Lanmin is unwilling to accept.
