There are long sheds on both sides of the road in the official office, and seats are set up for the candidates to rest, but compared to yesterday, there are not many candidates who are resting here today, and many of them are gathered in front of the main hall to look inward, and the sound of the piano is heard inside, accompanied by low chanting..... Seems to be drunk.

"It's a drunken fishing night. Zhang Shuangtong whispered in Xue Qing's ear, "He also used drunken songs to reconcile, and this time he has all the qin songs..."

Although the voice was very small, there were still people around who stared: "Don't make noise, listen to the good song carefully." ”

Zhang Shuangtong also glared: "I'll let you hear what a really good song is in a while." ”

The clerk standing by the door looked over with a little warning, although the exam of Leke let the onlookers this time, it was forbidden to make noise.... so as not to affect the performance of the candidates and the appreciation of the examiners.

Zhang Shuangtong pursed his lips and turned around and walked away from the door, and Xue Qing followed when he saw it.

"Don't listen, it's all over and over again. Zhang Shuangtong said.

Xue Qing said: "The next game is coming to you, go and rest." ”

The two walked back to the long shed to the Chang'an Mansion where the candidates were to rest, although the candidates of Chang'an Mansion came today, they will not all participate, and they are no longer divided into state government lotteries, but individual lottery numbers.... Today, everyone is a state capital, but they are also opponents.

This exam is divided into singing and dancing instruments and chess skills, and you can also participate in all of them or choose to participate, Pang An only participates in chess skills, but his expression is not at all relaxed.

"I didn't expect that Prince Xiliang to be so powerful.... He sighed, "It's not something that can be learned in a day or two." ”

Thinking of the scene when Suo Shengxuan was on the field, it was still difficult to hide the amazement.... The white-robed young man stroked the piano and flowed, sang beautifully, danced in a simple manner, and did six music... It's still the ancient week, and just like yesterday, the Xiliang candidates all participated in and did the ancient Saturday music... Shocking again.

"Although the people of Xiliang are good at singing and dancing, they are blessed, but to be able to do this in Yunmen, it can be seen that they have worked hard, and there are few people who do six music in this game. Pang Andao looked admiring, "I might as well too." ”

Zhang Shuangtong threw his sleeves and sat down, and said: "I don't deny that he did a good job, but, it's still Sanshiro's words, he is not necessarily bad for others." While shaking his piano flute fan, "I will be able to sing the piano in a while, solo flute, fan dance... Bound to be a high score. ”

Pei Yanzi turned his head on the side and said, "You can't get the top spot in the end with a high score, you can pass the test, why fight for this." ”

Pang An laughed, Zhang Shuangtong snorted at Pei Yanzi, Pei Yanzi ignored him, and saw Xue Qing sitting silent, looking in one direction....

Pei Yanzi stretched out his hand to pick up the teacup and said, "Do you want tea?" looked at Xue Qing.

Xue Qing nodded, and Pei Yanzi reached out and handed over the teacup.... Xue Qing put his hand in front of him and didn't move, but leaned over and bit the teacup with his Pei Yanzi's hand, bit it and tilted his head....

Zhang Shuangtong raised his eyes and saw Ha's voice: "... Juggling should also be considered a Leke, Misamura, you have one. ”

Pang An laughed again, just laughing here, but there was a noise in the main hall.

"Hurry, hurry. ”

"Call the doctor, the doctor.."

The candidates under the long shed all looked and saw a few errand officers carrying a candidate along the road, the candidate's eyes were closed, his face was as white as snow, and his clothes were bloodstained in front of him.... What happened? There was a commotion among the candidates.

“.. Candidates in Puyang... After playing an ancient song, it seems that I was too involved and vomited blood..."The examinees who were watching outside the hall ran to explain.

The candidates under the long shed all laughed suddenly.

"What are you playing and singing... In this way, do you mourn your deceased wife?"

"Is it like beating the drum and scolding Cao..."

Laughing and laughing, everyone can understand, this kind of thing is to express emotions, and it is also common to be sincere and sincere, so that the listener can naturally make himself sad.

Zhang Shuangtong stretched out his hand and pointed to the candidates who were carried away, and said, "This is the fight." ”

Xue Qing said: "That's it.. It's admirable." Put the teacup in his mouth back into Pei Yanzi's hand, "I'm going to fight too." ”

Pang An was surprised: "Young Master Qingzi, what do you want to fight?"

Xue Qing said: "Of course, it's the top of the list." After that, he took a few deep breaths, slowly raised his hand and stroked it slowly, "Don't forget that I am determined to take the top prize..."

Is this what you really want to do until now? Zhang Shuangtong fell down and said, "Okay, arrogant enough. ”

Pei Yanzi said: "There are drums, shengqin, bells, chimes and gongs. ”

Xue Qing really thought about it, Zhang Shuangtong laughed, and there was a courtesy official standing on the Yong Road, and said in a loud voice: "In the fifth field, candidates will enter." ”

The candidates in the long shed were in turmoil, and the candidates who drew the fifth game stood up and walked towards the middle of the road, and seven or eight people such as Pei Yanzi, Liu Chunyang, and Zhang Shuangtong from Chang'an Mansion were in this field.

Xue Qing stood up and said, "I'll choose the drum." "Throw your sleeves and slowly step forward behind your back.

The little boy, the green shirt fluttered, and the sunlight sprinkled out of the long shed, which made the people watching slightly stunned for a moment... Zhang Shuangtong shook his head and said, "I'm really crazy." Raising his heels, the chaos broke the stagnation of this moment, and more than a dozen candidates gathered on the road, and Xue Qing was among them.

Liu Chunyang stopped and retracted his steps.

"Young Master Chunyang, what's wrong with you, go quickly. Pang An urged.

Liu Chunyang said: "I gave up the exam. ”

If you say it doesn't work, you shouldn't have participated in the lottery in the first place, why do you regret it now?

Liu Chunyang said: "Young Master Yanzi is right, anyway, he won't be able to get the top spot, what to fight." After that, he flicked his sleeves and walked towards the main hall from the other direction.... The reference is to walk the road to the side hall to prepare for the exam, and the other onlookers are casual.

Pang An looked at Liu Chunyang, who was pacing away with his hands in his hands, scratched his head, and said, "No... Young Master Yanzi and others are thinking about whether to compete for the top spot, but Young Master Chunyang, what you have to think about is whether you can be selected, right?"

.....

.....

"You want to pick a drum?"

The ceremonial officer in the side hall was a little surprised.

The other candidates also looked at it and looked surprised.... Drums aren't suitable for solo playing, let alone singing and dancing...... Seeing that the young candidates were only thirteen or fourteen years old, thin and thin, playing drums... This is self-defeating.

The ceremonial officer shook his head and smiled again, "Interesting, Xiliang does Gu Zhoule, you have to use Xiliang's usual Qi drum." ”

Xue Qing seemed a little uneasy, and said, "This, it's not a violation, right?"

The ceremonial officer said: "Of course, I am a big Zhou Guangna, Haichuan, and praise the Xiliang candidate Gu Zhoule, and naturally I am happy to see Zhou people play Xiliang music." With a wave of his hand, he sent the drum over.

Xue Qing took Shi Li and thanked him, and walked forward slowly, the door of the side hall was opened, the curtain was lifted, and the two scribes raised their voices.

“.. Scene 5... Trumpet Seven... Admission..."

Xue Qing walked through the curtain into the main hall with a drum.

The five examiners in the hall stopped talking and looked over, and they were slightly surprised to see the young man standing in the field, is it a drum?

Xue Qing saluted the examiners, sat down cross-legged, held the drum in his arms, and raised his hand to clap.

Low, boring, monotonous, one voice, one voice, one after another...

The candidates outside the hall looked at each other, ignoring the warnings of the scribes, and there was a commotion.

"What is this?"

"It's better to beat the drum than to beat the drum."

"Bah, it's a drum. ”

A group of white-robed teenagers turned their heads, and surprise appeared on Ruyu's faces.

"Qi drums?" Suo Shengxuan pinched his chin slightly, his eyes shining, "It's really an honor." ”

On the other side, under the pillar, a little servant who seemed to be lazy with his arms leaning against the pillar stood up straight, listening intently to the sound of drums coming from within.

“... This is ....." muttered in a low voice, and the man looked over the pillars, which cast shadows and hid half of his face.

The drums in the hall became rapid, and the examiners straightened their backs, watching the seated young man stand up and stride with the drum, the pace was slow, but one step seemed to have the momentum of thousands of troops.....

"King Lanling enters the formation!"

An elderly candidate blurted out outside the temple gate.

As if hearing a shout, the young man inside stepped with his back and shoulders slightly turned to the side, the inside and outside light converged, the eyes were murderous, the noise outside the hall disappeared, and the birds were silent.
