In the face of such a calm Qin Ming, the king of Zhenbei showed a cruel smile, feeling that he would kill Qin Ming today.

However, after his body approached Qin Ming, suddenly a figure rushed into the room, and arrived in front of King Zhenbei at a very fast speed, and then a palm slapped lightly on King Zhenbei's chest.

The king of Zhenbei screamed, and when he came back to his senses, he had already flown out upside down, and fell to the ground fiercely, spurting blood from his mouth, and his face was pale!

The person who came was Gonggong Liu.

I saw that he looked calm and even a little disdainful.

The other three subordinates of the king of Zhenbei hurriedly waved their long swords and rushed towards Gonggong Liu.

Gonggong Liu snorted, waved the dust in his hand, and instantly knocked the three long swords away.

At the same time, the dust was thrown again, and the three of them flew out directly.

The third-grade martial artist is like a chicken and a dog in the eyes of the six-rank master, and he is vulnerable!

At this time, Qin Ming slowly lay on the bed and said to Gonggong Liu: "Take these people out and behead them tomorrow!" ”

"Yes!"

Gonggong Liu nodded, and the four people in the house were quickly taken away by the Praetorian Guards.

And Qin Ming lay on the bed as if nothing had happened.

"Southland...... You're going to beat me anyway, so why should I care about your feelings, if you dare to send someone, I'll kill you. ”

Qin Ming's heart is clear, and the south sent people for Mao? Peace talks? Ghost belief must be for some reason.

Perhaps, it is for the sake of immortality.

Can Qin Ming give them a chance?

Therefore, we must show a tough attitude and tell them that the Chu State is not afraid of them, the mind is not pure, and coming to the Chu State is a dead end.

That night, the envoys of the southern kingdom who had come with the king of Zhenbei fled overnight.

A few days later!

Southland, Imperial Palace.

The middle-aged emperor was furious: "What a little emperor of Chu State, he actually killed the envoy sent by me, it is really rampant!" ”

"Your Majesty, although this Emperor of Chu killed our people for a reason, it is obvious that he is also deliberately looking for a reason to kill." As a national teacher, the old man in plain clothes spoke lightly.

The Emperor of the Southern Kingdom groaned for a moment and said, "I understand, obviously, he does not want to negotiate peace with my Southern Kingdom, and his attitude is so firm...... Could it be that this Chu State is really as strong as rumored? ”

"I have to guard against it, otherwise, where did I get so much confidence?" The national teacher spoke.

The Emperor of the Southern Kingdom closed his eyes for a long time, and then spoke again:

"Since they do not accept the peace talks, it shows that they have some strength, but it is not yet known how it is. Therefore, you must find out the truth and the truth, national teacher, what do you think! ”

The national teacher smiled slightly: "Then let's have a challenge, send some talents from our southern country to challenge in Chu country." If they still want to kill our people, it means that they are weak-hearted, and killing people is just to create momentum and cover up. ”

"What if you accept the challenge? Is it possible to judge the strength of some talents just by their competition? The Emperor of the Southern Kingdom was puzzled.

The national teacher smiled wisely: "I can't judge the strength of their overall national strength, but it's about reputation, and they will definitely accept it." Once accepted, there are more types of challenges.

In this way, we can let our people stay in Chu for a long time, and it is still the same routine, the plank road is repaired in the open, and the warehouse is in the dark. On the surface, to challenge the competition, in fact, to investigate their military, economic and national strength! ”

The Emperor of the Southern Kingdom nodded: "Investigating national strength is not the main purpose, investigating the immortal medicine is the point!" ”

The national teacher nodded: "Of course, but if you can't investigate the immortal medicine for a long time, then you can only capture the Chu State and find it slowly." ”

The Emperor of the Southern Kingdom sneered: "If necessary, it will naturally be at all costs!" ”

The national teacher smiled, then fell silent for a while, and said, "The eldest princess of the Chu Kingdom, does Your Majesty still remember?" ”

"Hahaha, that naturally remembers, without her, how could the prince of Chu be killed by us two years ago?" The Emperor of the Southern Kingdom thought it was ridiculous.

The national teacher also smiled: "It is said that she left the Chu State and wants to develop new forces, and the minister thinks that this person can be used!" ”

"Okay, send someone to find it, such a woman, you can't do it yourself, but it's still valuable, let's take advantage of it, okay!" The emperor agreed.

When the southern country planned to send a challenge team to Chu State, Qin Ming was also busy with the selection of talents in Chu State.

To put it bluntly, it's still a matter of martial arts.

At present, there is no shortage of literati in the Chu State, and everyone in the world reads books, and the number of people participating in the imperial examination this year is expected to be more than ten times that of last year.

It can be seen that there will be no shortage of cultural people in the Chu State.

With literature, martial arts are also indispensable.

According to Qin Ming's meaning, after the efforts of the Ministry of Heavenly Rites and the Ministry of Officials, the local government selected a lot of martial talents, and after layers of assessment, from martial arts to martial arts, all the way to the assessment, and finally hundreds of people arrived in the imperial capital for the examination.

These days, the main thing in various places is to assess the force, and secondly, these people need a certain amount of culture, and they also have to do something.

In the Ministry of Rites, after these hundreds of people took the examination, more than fifty people stood out, and these people wanted to come to Qin Ming for the palace examination.

In the end, Qin Ming judged the top three!

This morning, in the main hall of the palace, it was the beginning of Qin Ming's palace test.

At this moment, hundreds of civil and military officials are standing on both sides.

In the middle of the vacant space, dozens of martial artists knelt on the ground respectfully.

Qin Ming sat above and said, "Let's take the written test first!" ”

So, dozens of Wujin soldiers hurriedly sat down at their respective tables and chairs.

Immediately afterwards, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu stepped forward and said: "Emperor Shengming, set up the civil and military imperial examination, and develop civil and military all-rounders." Since then, the talents of our Chu State must be strong and powerful, and the martial arts are reasonable......"

After saying a lot, I got to the point:

"Now, first of all, the liberal arts exam, the test paper is personally issued by His Majesty, divided into thirty questions, the front is a multiple-choice question, the middle is a fill-in-the-blank question, the back is an application question, and finally there are additional questions, please be sure to answer carefully."

A strong rough man squirmed and held the pen, sitting upright like a primary school student, listening carefully to the questions.

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu looked at the test paper given by Qin Ming and said to the students who took the exam:

"First of all, multiple-choice questions, please listen to the first question, if you have the strength of the first grade, then when facing the second-grade martial artist, the following is correct:

One, hardness.

Second, run away.

Three, begging for mercy.

Fourth, popularize relevant laws and regulations for him, and make him realize that private fighting is wrong. If it doesn't work, find a way to call for help, and find a way to report it to the official! ”

Everyone made their own choices on the test paper, and then the Ministry of Rites said, "Raise your hand for the fourth choice." ”

Almost everyone raised their hands, Qin Ming was very satisfied, and said:

"It seems that the people's understanding and quality of the law are very high!"

Then he looked at a big man and said, "You told me, why did you choose four?" ”。

The big man said seriously: "Back to Your Majesty, as the saying goes, choose the short one with three long and one short, and choose the long one with three short and one long." Two long and two short choose two, uneven and three invincible. ”

Qin Ming was stunned: ", I have mastered the exam skills......"
