Zhao Yuan counted the situation of the candidates on the list this time, and the youngest was just at the bottom of the age required for registration, eighteen years old, and there was only one person, Zhao Shuangxi from Zhaozhuang.

The oldest is only thirty years old, although in this era, thirty years old looks more vicissitudes than people in their forties in later generations.

But Zhao Yuan thinks that the long-distance training he arranged should be able to persevere, after all, he did not set a time for everyone to arrive.

The weather is very good today, and in the early morning, there is a sunny day.

"Brother Yu, let's run faster and catch up with Lord Thorn Shi."

Zhao Zhuang's eight friends have been running and playing in the mountains, forests and fields since they were children, and compared with other scholars who have never done much work since childhood, they undoubtedly have an advantage in terms of physical strength.

"Brother Zhao, go ahead, this time is not the time to be humble."

The candidates on the list did not expect that the first test from the Assassin's Mansion was actually physical.

"Brother Yuan, and all of you, brother, then you're welcome, we'll wait for you in front."

With a distance of twenty kilometers, Zhao Yuan thought that the time spent by the candidates on the list this time should be between three and five hours, after all, when they arrived at Baita Mountain, they had to climb to the top of Baita Mountain.

"Guo Du, let's compare two to one?" At the front of the team, Zhao Yuan, who was wearing tights, said to Guo Du.

"Okay, sir, but you shouldn't be able to outrun me when it comes to running." Guo Du said with a smile.

Among the five brothers who came to Zhao Yuan's house, Guo Du thought that he was the fastest runner, although Lord Thorn Shi had never stopped his daily routine exercise in the past six years.

But he has been practicing martial arts for more than ten years, and he has officially received training in running skills in the hurricane battalion of the Workshop Army.

Therefore, although he knew that Lord Thorn Shi couldn't outrun him, he wouldn't sweep his Yaxing.

"All of them, full speed ahead, keep up with Lord Thorn and me."

Guo Du shouted at the guards of the workshop army, and hurriedly chased after Zhao Yuan, who had already taken the lead.

"Brother Yu, why did they disappear all of a sudden?" The eight brothers of Zhao Zhuang, who thought they could keep up with Zhao Yuan, only turned one intersection, and they could no longer see Zhao Yuan.

"There are markings on the road, there is nothing wrong with this road, are they riding?"

"No, since Lord Thorn Shi said that he would walk the whole way, he would definitely go on foot."

"Run so fast, Double Happiness, you run the fastest, don't follow us, run quickly, see if you can catch up with Lord Thorn Shi and them."

"Okay, Brother Tiezi."

……

Half an hour after Zhao Yuan and Guo Du and their entourage arrived at the camp on Baita Mountain, the first candidate on the list arrived here, and it was the youngest Zhao Shuangxi.

"II...... Brother, oh no, stabbing history...... My lord. Zhao Shuangxi gasped and saluted Zhao Yuan.

"I didn't expect your kid to arrive first, yes, it seems that in the past two years, he has not left behind the work at home." Zhao Yuan said with a smile.

"That's right, Double Happiness, it's only half an hour later than me and Lord Thorn." Guo Du is very familiar with Zhao Shuangxi, and joked with a smile.

"Originally, I was going to be with the big brother, but they said they wanted me to chase you, and I also wanted to know if you came running or on horseback, so I ran over first." Zhao Shuangxi said a little shyly.

"Do you think we came on horseback?"

"You must have come running, the sweat on your bodies hasn't dried yet, and I haven't seen a horse up or down this mountain."

"Yes, it's grown a lot." Zhao Yuan nodded with satisfaction, and said, "There are towels and hot water over there, wash your face first, and then drink some warm salt water I prepared for you." ”

"Okay, second brother."

"Why don't you call Lord Thorn?" Zhao Yuan said with a smile.

"It's the big head, oh, it's Brother Yu They said, since you have come here, you can't be the same as in Zhaozhuang, you have to have rules, so you have to call you Lord Shi." Zhao Shuangxi said embarrassedly.

"Your eldest brother is right, if you just want to live a comfortable life, here, it doesn't hurt to call me second brother, but you have been studying for several years, and you must not be willing to be a person who is content with pleasure, so this time you are on the list, it is undoubtedly an opportunity to show yourself well." Zhao Yuan said seriously.

"Yes, Lord Thorn."

"Go ahead, you kid, it's changed a lot, and you've grown up." Zhao Yuan scolded with a smile.

……

"Report, my lord, the candidates on the list, the fastest will take at least a quarter of an hour to arrive, and the slowest will only complete half the distance."

"Liu Zhiyan, the four of them, are they at the back?"

"No, my lord, the four of them should be in the middle of the group."

"It's not bad, pay close attention to everyone's situation, and if there is a faint, treat it immediately."

"Yes, my lord, with our people secretly watching, there will be no problem."

"Commander Miao, let's go see how the camp you prepared is doing?" Zhao Yuan learned about the situation of the candidates on the list, and said to Miao Shijie, the commander of the workshop army.

"Yes, my lord, please come here."

……

"Meizhou, it's really different, even being an official in Meizhou has to go through such a thing, but fortunately, the exam questions from Master Shi have basically excluded the older candidates."

"Whew-I'm so tired, I didn't expect that a simple run and walk turned out to be more tiring than the previous night reading."

"Ha-you think-yes, Lord Thorn Shi, let's make such a trip, what is the deep meaning?"

"Anyway, I don't think ——, trying to tease us."

"Ahem-this goes without saying, although the experience in the morning is the most embarrassing thing I have ever encountered, but then I think about it, Lord Thorn Shi, how can he not become a more embarrassing person, after all, we were personally selected by him to serve as Meizhou officials, we are disgraced, Lord Thorn Shi is not even more embarrassed, why is he not afraid?"

"Yes, what you said, I can better understand the idea of the unity of knowledge and action."

"You guys—don't say a word, I don't know how far it goes, I'm exhausted."

"Huhu-Lord Thorn said he would walk to his destination like us, I don't know where he is?"

"Maybe it's just ahead, let's work harder, I'm tired, I really want to drink saliva......"

"Hey, isn't that the same year as the four women?"

"They didn't fall behind?"

"Do you want to say hello, look at them, do you need us to help?"

"Forget it, didn't you see it, are they still in front of us, wait, I have to rest, the sun is too sunny now."

"There's another pine forest over there, and there must be trees with bigger leaves in it, so let's break some branches and use them for shade."

"I hope there's water over there, I'm so thirsty."
