Chapter Twenty-Nine
My conversation with Mo Junxian that day finally came to an end, this matter is a headless public case, who can say clearly.
These days, I stay in Mo Junxian's courtyard in Kyoto every day, in addition to taking medicine to see a doctor and practicing hard, I just follow Mo Junxian to learn some fist and foot moves. Sometimes Xiao Tianzhao catches up, and I will pretend to be curious about his martial arts, and let him practice a few sets of fist and foot weapons with me.
Xiao Tianzhao's gun played very beautifully, a piece of gun flowers danced, like snowflakes drifting away, each snowflake fell on the branches on the side, and it could splash a piece of debris, reminding the danger contained in it.
Such a diligent life is something I haven't had in a long time.
I've been in the world for too long, and everything here is so weak in my eyes, and occasionally some cultivators with good strength can't survive the number of days, and eventually turn into dry bones and leave.
Mo Junxian still goes out occasionally, I wanted to follow, but he insisted on not allowing it, saying that there would be other guards following him, in this Gyeonggi strongland, there will still be no strongmen or anything, what I am afraid of is the trouble on the official side, but if I encounter such trouble, it doesn't make much difference with me or not.
I know that he wants me to recuperate, and Mo Junxian's consideration is also reasonable, this place, there is not much difference between me and me.
The day of the exam is approaching in a blink of an eye, and Mo Junxian has been preparing for the past few days and has not gone out again. Xiao Tianzhao, the son of the Xiao family, has not been seen for a few days, and according to her master Tianzhou, it seems that she is also going to participate in this year's exam.
On the day of the first test, I got up early, put on the men's clothes that I had prepared a long time ago, a cyan robe, my hair was also curled up with a hairband of the same color, and a jasper crown, and the whole person looked a lot more energetic.
The school field of the competition was outside the city, and this time we did not take the carriage again, but each led the horses and prepared to ride away.
In the early morning, there were not many pedestrians coming and going at the city gate, and it was rare to look a little deserted, and the city gate captain saw that we were going out of the city to take the exam, and there were no many checks, so he happily let us out.
As soon as I left the city, I heard the sound of horses' hooves behind me, and when I looked back, I saw Xiao Tianzhao riding a snow-white horse, and he also drove out of the city.
Xiao Tianzhao also saw us at a glance, took the initiative to come over to greet us, and asked, "Mo Gongzi is also going to take the exam, right?
Since we talked that day, Mo Junxian's attitude towards Xiao Tianzhao has also improved a lot, plus Xiao Tianzhao ran to us twice in three days, and he didn't look up and look down, and he couldn't always show his face to the prince of General Zuo's mansion.
"We're just going to take the exam, since Xiao Gongzi is too, you might as well be with us"
Seeing that Mo Junxian agreed, Xiao Tianzhao turned to me again, "Sister of the Mo family, you don't get in the way when you ride a horse, right?"
I shook my head, "It's okay, your master's medical skills are very powerful, and most of my injuries have healed, thank you Xiao Gongzi for your concern."
The three of us rode our horses on a journey with incense, and then we saw flags waving in front of us, crowds of people, and tents stretching for miles away. In front of a large open space due east, there were already many people waiting there, looking at the costumes, which should also be the ones who came to take the exam.
"Over there, let's go over there too" Xiao Tianzhao beckoned, turning his horse's head carefully and running towards that side.
On the periphery of the clearing, there was a simple wooden fence, guarded by a few soldiers at the gate, and when they saw the three of us coming, they politely invited us to dismount and go to the table over there to register our identities.
There were exactly two people in front of us registering, so we waited in the back. Then he heard the clerk point to the side and say to one of them, "There is a rule above, you are not allowed to bring the attendants in, please wait over there"
I was shocked, if the man's attendant didn't let me follow, I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to go in, then I would have come in vain today.
In the blink of an eye, it was our turn, Mo Junxian politely asked Xiao Tianzhao to register first. As soon as Xiao Tianzhao's identity was reported, the clerk's face was even more respectful, after all, his father was not an ordinary person, and he was really not an ordinary capable person who could command troops in this Gyeonggi area, even the ordinary Wang Sun Wang clan would be polite when he saw the people of his family, not to mention that he was a small clerk?
Who knew that Xiao Tianzhao finished reporting his name, but he didn't go in, but stopped and pointed at us and said, "These two, one is Mo Junxian Mo Juzi from Ancheng, and the other is my cousin, we are together, you can go in."
When the clerk heard him say this, he hesitated slightly, and then nodded, "Yes, you can come in."
I didn't expect the Xiao family to be so sensible at a critical time, and we entered the school without much effort.
In the middle of the school field, a huge ring with a height of about half a person was built, the ring was square, and weapon racks were placed on the east and west sides, and various weapons were placed on the shelves, as well as wooden ladders for people to go up.
Far further south, there are rows of arrow targets, which seem to have martial arts, and they also need to study everyone's riding and shooting. Due north of the ring, the best view position, there is also another higher platform, which is equipped with tables and chairs, luxurious decoration, and seems to be the place where the examiners are.
We waited here for a long time, and there were more and more people in the open space in the school yard, including some children of wealthy families, who began to complain after a while, and then instructed the soldiers on one side to bring a few chairs to rest.
I looked at Xiao Tianzhao beside me, we arrived here at the beginning of the hour when we came, and we were considered to be the first group of people to come, earlier than most people here. Xiao Tianzhao is also a son of a family, and he still has a special identity, but he stands here in a proper manner, except for looking around, there is no out-of-the-ordinary behavior.
is worthy of being a child taught by the Xiao family, no matter how arrogant the parents are, there are not a lot of rules that should be there. This alone is stronger than many adults.
At the beginning of the hour, there was a sound of horses' hooves outside the gate, and we turned our heads to look, and saw a bright yellow flag fluttering, and the honor guard stretched for more than a mile. Behind the guard of honor was a carriage with eight horses, the body was also bright yellow, embroidered with four claws, each with teeth and claws. Further back, there were the well-groomed Praetorian Guards, at least about 500 people.
What kind of big man is here, how can there be such a big pomp?
Without waiting for me to ask, I heard the people on the side say, "It's His Royal Highness the Prince's honor guard, I heard that this time Enke is the main exam of His Royal Highness the Prince, but I didn't expect it to be just the first exam, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came in person."
Hehe, listening to Ruan Qimo, this is also a thoughtful master, not so easy to get along with. Although Dekui is the prince's protégé this time, it may not be a good thing to have such a 'teacher'.
