After Ying Qiankun left the examination room, he called his own soldiers, rode on his war horse, and shouted to Qi to guard, he opened the paper ball in his hand and unfolded the paper ball, only to see that it was written "The Serious Offender Area of the Criminal Department Prison, the No. 10 Cell, Peng Lie's pseudonym Wang Ergou" words.

"I'll it, this guy is really looking for a place to hide people, he actually hid Peng Lie in the prison of the Criminal Department, no wonder those people can't find it, who would have thought that the target would be hidden in the prison." sighed with emotion, Ying Qiankun led the team to the prison of the Criminal Department to pick up people.

……

Seeing that Ling Xia handed over Peng Lie to himself in public, Zhenguo Gong looked at Ling Xia with interest, the more he looked at it, the more satisfied he became, and after a little hesitation, Zhen Guogong waved his hand to the side and called Nangong Xiongba, who was sitting on the side:

"Before Ling Xia went to the Ministry of War to make a business, Xia Yuanxiao rewarded him with a general officer from the seventh grade. Then he went to you again to restore his life, and you rewarded him with a thousand-captain of the seventh grade, and I heard that this guy took the lead in a mutiny on the first day of his tenure.

Not only did he beat up your four distant nephews, but he also got into trouble with one of your distant cousins, and when you arrived at the scene, you dismissed that cousin from his post as the commander of the army, dismissed the four distant nephews from the army, and promoted the boy to the rank of inspector. ”

"Zhenguo Gong is wise, and this is indeed the case."

Hearing that Yingtian told the internal military situation of the Praetorian Guard like a few treasures, Nangong Xiongba was a little shocked, in order to protect the military situation of the Praetorian Guard, he was extremely strict in the management of military secrets on weekdays, but he didn't expect Zhen Guogong to have such a clear grasp of the internal situation of the Praetorian Guard.

"Ling Xia only returned two errands, and both of you were promoted to his position, and now that he handed over to me the Peng Lie you coveted, do I also have to reward it, Nangong Metropolitan Governor, how do you think I should reward Ling Xia?" Zhen Guogong asked.

When Nangong Xiongba heard this, he immediately clasped his fists and said: "Everything obeys the orders of Grandpa Guo, how does Grandpa Guo feel how to reward Ling Xia, then how to reward Ling Xia, Grandpa Guo is wise and martial, and the last general will not dare to make a mistake." ”

"You, you, you, have actually learned to play sloppy, this is not your previous style, the edge is as sharp as possible, and the big weapon has been achieved. It seems that Nangong Hongru, that old guy, has taught you a lot. Hearing Nangong Xiongba kick the ball back, Zhen Guogong couldn't help laughing.

After laughing a few times, Zhen Guogong showed a thoughtful look, pondered for a moment, and then he instructed Nangong Xiongba: "Ling Xia is now your person, his position at this time is the chief inspector, if I promote him to the rank of the sixth rank of the commander, does the metropolitan governor think it is appropriate?" ”

"Yes." Nangong Xiongba agreed without even thinking about it: "The last general immediately issued a military order to promote Ling Xia to the commander of the Eastern Star Division, and the former Wanfu Changjiang Hailiu was promoted to the general of the palace Yin, and the last general applied for the official department to register for the Ling Xia 10,000 people." ”

"Hmm!" After listening to Nangong Xiongba's arrangement, Zhen Guogong nodded with satisfaction, and after retiring Nangong Xiongba, Zhen Guogong smiled at Ling Xia: "You have heard what you said just now, after the competition is over, go back and reorganize your team." ”

Ling Xia didn't expect the Zhenguo Guild to promote his position, and after listening to the dialogue between the Zhenguo Guild and Nangong Xiongba, he hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you Grandpa Guo for your promotion, thank you to the Metropolitan Governor for your support, the last general will definitely live up to his mission, please wait and see." ”

After the scene in front of them was seen in the eyes, everyone showed jealous and jealous expressions, no one thought that Zhen Guogong would favor Ling Xia because of an answer sheet, seeing that Ling Xia was appreciated by Zhen Guogong because of the answer sheet, those candidates began to figure out Zhen Guogong's thoughts, and changed the law to answer the exam papers, hoping that they could also be as lucky as Ling Xia.

But unfortunately, although the candidates tried their best, but by the end of the competition, no one could enter the eyes of Zhen Guogong, put away the examination papers, Zhen Guogong announced that in order to show fairness, there will be no generals to participate in the review of the examination papers of the semi-finals.

The semi-final examination questions will be reviewed by the cabinet scholars and the prime minister of the current dynasty, and the results of the list will be announced in the evening, and all candidates who pass the semi-finals will go to the Forbidden City "Scholar's Palace" early tomorrow morning to participate in the semi-finals, and the examiner of the semi-finals will give you the exam.

……

is different from the usual self-confidence, this time, Ling Xia has no bottom in his heart, no one knows what the standard answer is for this semi-final? Zhen Guogong only came up with one exam question, but did not leave an answer for reference.

The candidates' answers are varied, and I don't know which answer can enter the eyes of the examiners, the content of this question is related to the expansion of the military strength of the infinite ocean island nation, and the previous civil and military camps had two completely different opinions on this issue.

If there is still that kind of divergent situation, then Ling Xia's answer will be troublesome, although Zhen Guogong appreciates his answer, but Zhen Guogong is not responsible for grading, the cabinet scholar who read the paper this time, if those people don't like this answer, then Ling Xia will be hanging.

Unless, there has been some kind of change in the current situation, in the matter of expanding the strength of the infinite ocean island country, so that all the civil and military officials of the imperial court have a unified opinion, if this is the background, then Ling Xia may be able to advance to the semi-finals, otherwise, he can only go back to be the commander of ten thousand masters.

After leaving Qiankun Terrace, Ling Xia first returned to the barracks to go through the handover procedures, when he rushed over, Jiang Hailiu had already received the order to be promoted, the two congratulated each other, received tokens from the division commander, sent He Youzhen to count the materials and equipment, and Ling Xia went to the school training factory to show his face.

At present, Ling Xia did not have a suitable candidate for a thousand-commander, so he bluntly told everyone that except for the first thousand-commander, what should the rest of the commanders do, there is no need to worry about their positions, and the pattern of the 10,000-strong team will not change for the time being.

Hearing Ling Xia's words, the rest of the Thousand Commanders all showed a relaxed expression, they were all glad that they hadn't provoked Ling Xia before, unlike a few of them, the First Thousand Commander Nangong Na showed a depressed expression, he had a feeling that his good days were coming to an end.

After dealing with the affairs in the barracks, he brought his new official seal from the official department, personally escorted Jiang Hailiu to the division commander, and exchanged greetings with the division commander and the other two commanders for a while, and then, Ling Xia ran straight to the wall of the forbidden city.

At this moment, it was already dark, and the results list had already been announced, running to the front of the list, Ling Xia checked it, and sure enough, his name was not ranked first, the first place in the semi-final competition was Qiu Luobei, and his answer to the exam question was "The great power of the country should deter the neighbors and respond to the grace and might" is followed by a detailed article, almost more than 2,000 words.

Ling Xia didn't bother to read those contents at all, he was busy looking for his name, after looking for it, Ling Xia saw his name under Qiu Luobei's name, he won the second place this time, it seems that in the eyes of the cabinet scholars and the prime minister of the current dynasty, Qiu Luobei's answer sheet is even more satisfactory to them.
