[The paragraph of the Shengzhou Township test, made up! Let's take a look at it......]

"Oh?" This time, Zhou Kang was a little moved.

Ye Xuan still said with some pride: "A few years ago, I was busy speculating on land, and all the sea trade in the gang was stopped, and all the sailors and shipwrights returned to their hometowns to stand by. Thanks to this, this big change did not affect them. ”

"The fourth prince can rest assured, these sailors and boatmen are all veterans who have been running the sea for many years and have rich experience! No matter what kind of ship they are, as long as they get their hands on it, it won't take long to operate it freely!"

Zhou Kang nodded in agreement, the Zhenhai Gang has occupied the name of the No. 1 Sea Gang in the Southeast Maritime Merchants for many years, and the sailors under his hands are naturally good.

"I want them all! In a few days, you gather them together and send them to Shengzhou together!" Zhou Kang can be regarded as agreeing to Ye Xuan's surrender.

"Thank you, owner!" Ye Xuan also changed his words by the way.

"I still have some things to do in Yangzhou, so you can go with us later, Li Yi's head, we will leave it to you to cut off!" Zhou Kang naturally understood Ye Xuan's purpose of taking refuge in himself.

"Thank you, owner!" Ye Xuan's thanks this time seemed even more sincere.

……

The next day, Li Yi, who was the head of the rebel army, really came to the cell of the Yangzhou Taishou Mansion.

is called inspection, but Yangzhou Taishou Tong Yu, who has already defected to the rebels, will never believe it!

What are you kidding! Go to the cell to inspect? Is Li Yi idle?

Therefore, Tong Yu did not hesitate to put down his official duties and followed Li Yi down to the cell to "inspect".

Li Yi entered the cell and walked straight to the deepest part. Tong Yu behind him became more and more convinced that Li Yi must have a plan here!

It's just that when Li Yi walked deeper and deeper, Tong Yu began to panic, although he didn't understand the reason for the panic: "He doesn't know that person either!"

"Open!" Li Yi commanded the accompanying cell leader.

The cell boss hurriedly stepped forward and opened the door.

When the door opened, I saw a person sitting in a messy cell.

That person is naturally Huaqing!

Hua Qing's clothes were still dirty and messy, but his unkempt image was suddenly renewed! His beard was shaved off, and his hair was tied back up.

Li Yi stood at the door, looking at Hua Qing who was sitting inside.

Hua Qing bowed slightly to him, which was regarded as a gesture.

Li Yi only stood at the door for a moment, and then walked into the cell.

"Close the door!"

With Li Yi's order, the cell boss outside closed the cell door.

A door separated Tong Yu from the outside, Tong Yu only had time to look inside, and only saw Hua Qing facing him, with an incomprehensible smile on the corner of his mouth, and he didn't know whether it was mockery or joy.

"It's too early to laugh, right?" Inside the door, Li Yi, who entered the door, also saw the smile on the corner of Hua Qing's mouth.

Hua Qing smiled again and said confidently: "Since you are in, then I can go out and go out with you!"

"You're very confident!" Li Yi glanced at him and found a place to sit down.

"If you stay in this kind of place, if you don't feel confident, you won't be able to get out!" Hua Qing replied.

After Li Yi sat down, he said: "Say it! My time is very precious, since you have the ability to let me appear here, you must also have the ability to prove your value, but you must know that value is determined by the people who need him!"

Hua Qing nodded in agreement and praised: "Boss Li is really an excellent businessman!"

"Hehe!" Li Yi smiled, looked at Hua Qing and said: "That was before, but now I have changed my career, invested all my net worth, and made the riskiest deal in the world!"

"The benefits are also the greatest!" Hua Qing added.

Li Yi smiled noncommittally and said, "So, you should know how valuable my time is now, if your value is not worth the time I spent, I'm afraid I will have to take something else to pay it off." ”

"It's nothing more than a life! How is my deal the same as Boss Li?" Hua Qing said.

"Alright, it's time for you to get down to business!" Li Yi said.

"Okay!" Hua Qing nodded, and then said bluntly: "Go south to Shengzhou!"

"So direct?" Li Yi looked at him in surprise and said with a smile: "You know, even if you are so direct, I will not be less suspicious of you at all!"

"So, wouldn't it be more time-saving! After all, time is very important to you and me!" Hua Qing replied.

Li Yi was silent for a moment and asked, "Reason?"

"Pingliang Li Lun has already arrived in Huaiyin County......" Hua Qing's words were not finished before he was interrupted by Li Yi, but the meaning he wanted to express was obvious.

"He only has 5,000 soldiers and horses!" Li Yi said with obvious meaning.

Hua Qing smiled, smiling brightly, and the smile made Li Yi a little uncomfortable, but compared to what he said next, Li Yi would rather face his smile.

"But your ambitions are not in the north, Yang Tinghe should be out of Wuyi Mountain at this time, right?"

Hua Qing's flat voice sounded in Li Yi's ears like thunder.

"Who the hell are you?" Li Yi asked, glaring at him.

Hua Qing calmly dealt with it and replied: "Didn't you already let people check it? I guess I'll soon know who I am!"

Li Yi took a few deep breaths and suppressed his anger. At this moment, he raised his attention to the person in front of him, who was able to get his hands on their most top-secret information, and he was still in prison for months.

Since the other party is extraordinary, Li Yi naturally will not deal with ordinary people.

For this reason, his anger only came for a moment and then disappeared, and against such a smart person, anger did not play any role!

So, for a moment, there was a long silence in the cell.

Hua Qing, who had reached this point, was also happy to close his eyes and wait for the results.

Soon after, the door of the cell opened again, and a personal soldier with Li Yi walked in, leaned down, and whispered in Li Yi's ear for a while before leaving.

Li Yi listened to the report of his subordinates, thought about it silently, and suddenly smiled: "A person who can kill even his own benefactor, I don't feel at ease to use it!"

Hearing the sound, Hua Qing opened his eyes, and after seeing Li Yi's question, he replied with a smile: "But I know that you will definitely use me!"

"Oh, why?" asked Li Yi with a smile.

"Because you're very confident!Besides, you're really short of people right now!" Hua Qing replied with a smile.

Li Yi looked at him, and Hua Qing looked at him calmly.

After a while, Li Yi laughed: "Haha, you're right, I'm really confident!

"Let's go!"

After speaking, Li Yi stood up, and Hua Qing also stood up......

Half a day later, after meeting with the staff of the Yangzhou liaison station and the warehouse, Zhou Kang and others, who got the news of Huaqing's release from prison, took Ye Xuan and a group of remaining good hands of the Zhenhai Gang and set off for Shengzhou.

Half a day later, with the military order of Li Yi, the rebels sent an elite army of more than 4,000 horses south to Shengzhou.

More than 4,000 people crossed the river to the south and took Shengzhou, a heroic city with a tiger in the dragon plate, which sounds like a joke. But the smart Li Yi still gave this order!

Because, it is none other than Yang Xun who is in charge of this army!

Li Yike did not choose to send troops out of such a narrow idea of suppressing revenge. It's because just relying on these people is enough to take Shengzhou City, where the garrison has already been weakened to the extreme!

Because, the soldiers and horses in Yang Xun's hands are all elites! The real elite! What's more, he still has the strongest sailor in the world!

Turning his gaze, he said that in the past few days, in the farm outside Shengzhou City, there was another hot scene, and one after another skilled craftsmen were busy around.

When the residents of the farm came forward to ask, they learned that it was the order of the big proprietor. The residents don't know what they are going to do, but since it is the request of the big owner, it must be something good!

When the craftsmen are in full swing at work, there is always a clever white dove hovering in the air overhead.

In the distance, Xu Chen looked in the direction of the construction site, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

……

June 15 is the day of the local township examination in Shengzhou.

Outstanding students from all counties under the jurisdiction of Shengzhou will gather in Shengzhou City on this day for a three-day exam.

Although the imperial examination system was initially determined by Emperor Wen of Sui, the method of taking official examinations has existed since ancient times. Shengzhou, as the capital of Southern Chen, has long built a tribute courtyard in the most prosperous part of the city for the purpose of opening a branch and taking scholars.

This tradition continues to this day.

Although almost all of the township exams in Datang are now between the thoughts of the county guards, Shengzhou, which has a deep tradition, can only rely on the above board examination to convince others.

There are also those who do not believe in this evil and try to subvert this traditional county guard, but whenever it is not held in the Gongyuan Academy, not a single student from Shengzhou is willing to attend! In the end, those county guards have no choice but to find a few students from elsewhere to make up the numbers, but how many students who are willing to do this kind of thing have real talent and real learning? Even if they go to Chang'an and sit on the examination room of the palace examination, how can they be able to compete with the outstanding students selected from other places at various levels?

In the end, under the pressure of the Ministry of Officials on the assessment of the county guard's culture and education, even the most stubborn county guard would not put his own future at risk, so he had to indignantly revive the old tradition of the Gongyuan examination.

And this year's Shengzhou Taishou is a "kind" elder, so naturally he will not be embarrassed by the students of Shengzhou in this regard.

As a result, the township test was naturally held as usual.

Three days before the township test, as usual, it is the most lively season in the entire Shengzhou City, and this lively time with the atmosphere of literature and ink is naturally the most prosperous on the street in front of the Gongyuan.

Just the day before the township test, Xu Chen also brought a large group of people, old and young, to the street in front of the Gongyuan, because Xu Chen got the tip, the two people who had appeared in the Qiushui Pavilion had been lingering on the Gongyuan Street for two days, and on the last day of the most lively and crowded people, Xu Chen believed that there was no reason why they should not come!

"Brother Chen, are we really going to do this? That big brother, big sister, doesn't look like a bad person?"

In order to survive, Xu Chen can be said to have mobilized all the power at hand, even the young Lu Ying also participated in Xu Chen's plan, and it is the most important part!

Facing Lu Ying's innocent eyes, Xu Chen felt sad in his heart, but he could only be ruthless, and replied with a smile: "Brother Chen doesn't know if they are good people or bad people, but they will arrest Brother Chen, and maybe kill you, Brother Hao, Brother Ce, Brother Kang, and Xiao Shi, as well as the uncles and aunts in Zhuangzi, does Ying Ying want this to happen?"

Lu Ying naturally shook her head vigorously: "I don't want it!"

"Yes, Ying Ying doesn't want to, Brother Chen, what can I do?" Xu Chen said lonely.

"That'...... Can we talk to them, let them not take Brother Chen away......" Lu Ying looked at Xu Chen with a look of anticipation.

In fact, if it were Lu Ying at this time last year, she might not ask this question, the little girl who has undergone drastic changes has matured prematurely. However, in the past year, under the protection of many brothers, Lu Ying's childlike heart, which has not been covered too much by the darkness of the world, has gradually become innocent again, and she has begun to be willing to believe in the possibility that some adults will not even think about it.

Hearing Lu Ying's question, Xu Chen's heart felt as if it had been slashed by a knife! The already clean childlike heart will once again be covered by the haze, and what's more, today's Lu Ying is going to become a chess piece in his own hands, and be that thug whose hands are stained with blood!

Xu Chen's rock-solid heart was shaken at this moment.

"Big brother, I have to send it when the arrow is ready!" Zhou Kang, who was beside him, keenly noticed the swaying in Xu Chen's heart, and hurriedly reminded him.

Xu Chen closed his eyes, and after a while, the slightest wavering had already dissipated from the eyes that he opened again: "Come according to the original plan!"

Zhou Kang nodded, and he didn't know what kind of gesture he made, and a few figures quietly disappeared from the nearby crowd.

There is everything on the lively street, juggling, monkey shows, and such tricks as walking the rivers and lakes to resist some tricks have found a place everywhere on the street, and the banging and beating have begun. Naturally, there are also those who have taken their own calligraphy and paintings to the street to spread a piece of white cloth and set up stalls, but most of the people who have been reduced to selling calligraphy and paintings on the street are some down-and-out scholars, and those high-rollers with a few copper coins wrapped around their waists will naturally enter both sides of the street and have fun everywhere.

The ongoing rebellion in Yangzhou was separated from the north by the rolling Yangtze River, and the people of Shengzhou were still immersed in the prosperity of peace, but this peace would not last long......

"Brother Chen, you see there's a lantern there!" this was Lu Ying's voice.

"Senior Brother Ma, look, what is that?" this was the voice of the girl Ling'er.

Two female voices with different tones, but the same tactful and crisp sounded at the same time, which also kicked off the prelude to this battle between ants and giants!

The resonance of the two female voices attracted a lot of handsome young people who passed along the way, and the young people looked back one after another, but most of them looked at the girl Ling'er, after all, a slim girl is always more attractive than a half-grown child!

It was under this frequent side-gaze that the passing crowd began to gradually crowd, of course, this feeling of crowding was covered by the fiery gaze at the beginning. Even just to give the person concerned an illusion, a kind of crowding does not exist, but just more eyes, so a little uncomfortable!

The girl Ling'er is really a little uncomfortable!

In the past, in the sect, she was dazzling, no matter where she went, she would never have a gaze, but that kind of gaze did not contain a faint alienation, or awe or envy, even if it was full of love, it was also the kind of attachment that was not contaminated with a trace of distraction, and there was never such a direct, naked desire for possession as it is now!

"Xiaosheng is so polite! dare to ask the girl's name?" a personable young man asked softly in front of Ling'er.

This question completely broke the silence that was shocked by Ling'er's beauty.

"Li Yun ...... in Xiashengzhou"

"Fangshan ...... in Xiaokeji County"

One after another young talents swarmed towards Ling'er, the same bowed and bowed their hands, but some people, the hand was inevitably stretched a little too long, and what was even more strange was that when they saw someone like this, others actually got even more inches, and one by one the distance between their own family and the girl was quickly reduced!

"Ling'er!" Senior Brother Ma was also shocked for a moment, and Senior Brother Ma, who had never encountered such a situation, didn't know what to do for a while.

If he didn't use his aura, his strength would only be slightly greater than that of ordinary people, and in the face of the many "well-mannered" scholars who suddenly appeared, Senior Brother Ma also had some disgust in his heart, which was the kind of disgust that originated from male instinct.

But his good temperament made him really unable to suddenly kill these young people of Mu Ai, not to mention that the powerless scholar was really the ant of the ants in his eyes.

In a bad mood, it is naturally common to strangle an ant with your hands, but if it costs tens of thousands of copper coins to kill this ant, no one must have this kind of mood.

Therefore, in the first time, Senior Brother Ma failed to make a move!

It's also because the so-called "first time" is so fast! It's as if it's been rehearsed countless times in advance!

At this time, suddenly there were a few powerless scholars who wanted to squeeze into this circle, but it seemed that because of lack of strength, they were finally squeezed back, not only that, but the force of the backlash actually pushed this person to Senior Brother Ma!

This qiē all happened in an instant, but in the eyes of Senior Brother Ma, who had been cultivating for many years, the movements of these people were so clear!

It was precisely because of the clarity that Senior Brother Ma clearly judged that these people really had no strength! They were really powerless! It was really impossible to pose a threat to him!

So, he didn't activate the shield on his body!

So, he was lightly bumped by these people!

It was also through the sensitive sense of touch, although one of the person's movements was so gentle, so gentle that even if it was brushed on the water, it might not leave ripples, but it still made Senior Brother Ma perceive it!

"Oh no!

However, just as he was about to activate the shield on his body in an instant, a huge force suddenly came from his right hand!

It turned out that another scholar who was powerless had quietly wrapped a silver wire that was not much thicker than a hair around his right wrist!

Senior Brother Ma's wrist suddenly straightened!

However, the shock was still not over, and suddenly a black light flashed!

A large black knife that was more than a foot long slashed at his arm like thunder......
