"I'm not uncommon with these glories and riches, and the reason why I promised you is for my stupid sister." As he spoke, Ling Xia took the silver medal in Su Jing'an's hand and shook it casually: "Funding is needed for lurking, you have to give me some silver." ”

"Funding?" Stunned, Su Jing'an touched his pocket and took out a cloth bag from his pocket: "This is some of the coils I carried with me before I came to the River Mansion, I originally planned to entertain Tu Hu and the princess, but now I don't need it, so I just give it to you." ”

"Wow----- ten gold coins, forty silver coins, that's a lot of money, I've never seen so much money, okay, with all this money, my life in the barracks will be a little easier."

After counting the funds in the cloth bag, Ling Xia packed the money, and then, he pointed to Xia Ning'er on horseback, pretending to be indifferent and asked: "She ------ princess----- it seems that she can't go with me?" ”

Yes, there was such a big thing, the princess could only be sent back to the imperial capital, and after the news of the Yin soldiers borrowing the Tao was spread, the emperor was furious, and sent a Praetorian Guard division to Linlangjiang, and it is estimated that it will arrive in the afternoon of the day after tomorrow. ”

After saying this, Su Jing'an hesitated, sighed, and then said: "Brother Ling, I ---- well----- advise you, it is impossible for you to be with the princess, and it is better to have a long pain than a short pain, and it is also a good thing to separate." ”

"Oh------ what do you think? How dare I think about the princess? Covering up, Ling Xia walked to Ling Baiyu----- ----- it should be Xia Ning'er, helped Xia Ning'er off the horse, and found the antidote from the big man, Ling Xia gave Xia Ning'er a servant.

Looking at Ling Xia's actions, Su Jing'an wanted to stop him, but after hesitating, Su Jing'an swallowed back the words on his lips and sighed, he motioned to Ling Xia to hurry up, and then turned around to check on the injured.

"Brother------ brother------ you're back, I couldn't find you just now, and I thought you didn't want me anymore------ woo woo woo......" After waking up, Xia Ning'er looked at Ling Xia in front of her, with a hint of surprise and grievance on her face.

"How could my brother not want you anymore." Gently touching Xia Ning'er's head, looking at her simple smile at the moment, Ling Xia sighed in his heart, after today, he and the girl in front of him may never have an intersection again.

"What's wrong with you, brother? Did anyone upset you? Feeling that Ling Xia's mood was different, Xia Ning'er asked with a well-behaved face.

"How could my brother be upset?" With a smiling face, Ling Xia looked left and right, and seeing that Su Jing'an didn't notice his side, he took out a jade gourd from his pocket, opened the lid, and cautiously poured out a pill the size of a dragon's eye.

"Brother, what is this? How fragrant? As she spoke, Xia Ning'er pricked up her nose and sniffed, looking extremely cute.

"This is a jelly bean, it was prepared for you by my brother, this kind of jelly bean is unparalleled in the world, you don't tell anyone, come, open your mouth, brother feeds you."

Putting the gourd covered and put it away, Ling Xia motioned for Xia Ning'er to open her mouth, and then fed the pill in her hand to Xia Ning'er, after eating the pill, Xia Ning'er first felt an indescribable feeling of comfort, and then a trace of tiredness rose.

With a sigh, she subconsciously hugged Ling Xia's arm, her eyes closed slightly, and she muttered softly: "I will never finish hide and seek with my brother again, because I can't always find my brother, and my brother ----- don't leave me behind......"

"What's wrong with her?" At this time, Su Jing'an walked over.

"It's okay, it's just asleep." Breaking away from Xia Ning'er's clenched arm, Ling Xia handed her over to Su Jing'an, looked into the distance, and saw a torch lit up in the distance, he asked Su Jing'an if he could find the imprisoned Tuhu and the participants hiding in the territory of the River Mansion?

After listening to this, Su Jing'an said unhurriedly, as long as he caught Wu Zhenshan's personal soldiers and the meticulous work who escaped, he would be able to find the place where the guards were imprisoned, and as for those participants who were hiding in the territory of Hedao Mansion, he would carry out a full-scale search tonight.

The students who actually took the exam had identification, but the injured who were among them did not, so just check the clinics, pharmacies, and inns in the territory to find out those people.

Seeing that Su Jing'an already had a plan in his mind, Ling Xia no longer worried about the matter, and after handing over Xia Ning'er and Wu Zhenshan to Su Jing'an, he led a horse, passed through the path next to him, and hurried towards the provincial capital......

……

Four days later, the provincial governor Yamen in front of the Yangwu platform is full of people, today is the time for the martial arts exam, those martial arts masters who have passed the government test all over the province, will be here today for the provincial test, through the martial arts competition.

Ling Xia took the silver medal given to him by Su Jing'an to register from the yamen, and after verifying his identity, the clerk in charge of registration issued him a pass order, and then, Ling Xia went to the next door to draw lots and divide the group.

There are a total of 99 martial artists who have passed the government examination in the province, divided into two groups of Qiankun, each group of 50 people, after the draw, the two groups will fight, No. 1 against No. 51, No. 2 against No. 52, and so on.

When Ling Xia drew lots, he happened to draw a "No. 50" belonging to the last place in the cadre group, but because there were only ninety-nine candidates, the Kun group did not have a corresponding "No. 100," so according to the rules of engagement, Ling Xia had a bye in this game to advance.

Taking advantage of the gap in promotion, Ling Xia walked to the front of Yangwutai to watch the other candidates compete, just one glance, he hid aside, the reason is very simple, because the fight was too fierce, so those contestants were stained with blood, Ling Xia was afraid of blood, so he squatted aside and didn't dare to watch.

At the end of the first round of the preliminary round, forty-nine of the ninety-eight martial artists defeated their opponents, counting Ling Xia, who had a bye before, a total of fifty people entered the second round of the semi-final, because this time it was an integer, so there would be no bye.

The candidates each trimmed for half an hour, and then took the stage in turn to compete, fifty people were divided into twenty-five battle groups, and opposite Ling Xia was a thin and thin teenager, who was not very old, only sixteen or seventeen years old.

Because Ling Xia's purpose is to sneak into the barracks, he doesn't pay attention to the ranking, if it weren't for the bye in the first game, Ling Xia would admit defeat before he took the stage, and now looking at the childish boy opposite, Ling Xia showed a kind smile.

"Little brother, don't be afraid, wait a while, you just let go of your hands and feet, I'll stand here and don't move, let you play whatever you want, if you can force me to take a step back, this competition will be considered a win."

After Ling Xia finished speaking, he looked at the other party with a kind face, he had already calculated it, as soon as the young man made a move, he would retreat backwards, and at that time, he would not only lose the game, but also save face for himself, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

But Ling Xia didn't expect that the young man on the other side was a little timid, after the cruel competition in the preliminary round, he was already a little stunned by the fight, hearing Ling Xia's words of bull breaking and booming, looking at Ling Xia's calm and confident smile, the young man's heart suddenly felt a little weak.

When the referee rang the gong for the start of the competition, the young man looked at Ling Xia's hands standing upright, and the clouds were light, he hesitated, and then walked to the referee's side, signaled to admit defeat, and after confirming the boy's choice, the referee raised Ling Xia's hand and announced that he had passed the rematch.

Hearing the result announced by the referee, Ling Xia looked at the young man in disbelief, with a trace of anxious expression on his face: "No----- it's not ------ little brother----- we haven't fought yet----- you ----- have two tricks, what if there is a surprise......

Because there was still the next group of candidates to compete on stage, the referee didn't have time to pay attention to Ling Xia's shouting, announced the results, told Ling Xia to rest for a while, and make every effort to prepare for the next promotion match.

Half an hour later, Ling Xia and the remaining twenty-four candidates who passed the semi-final were gathered together again, because there was another singular number, so everyone had to draw lots to determine their opponents and order.

There are twenty-five bamboo sticks in the lottery box, of which twenty-four are written with the order of the battle, and the remaining one is an empty lot, and the candidates who draw the empty lot will directly advance to the play-in round.

"You please...... You come first...... I'm not in a hurry...... You just smoke one first...... Brother Tai doesn't have to be polite...... "Lying down and winning twice in a row, Ling Xia himself was a little embarrassed, so when the candidates stepped forward to draw lots, Ling Xia took the initiative to be humble and let others draw first."

After a while, the other twenty-four players all drew lots, they were divided into twelve groups according to the numbers on the bamboo sticks, and when everyone found their opponents, everyone looked at Ling Xu and the only remaining bamboo stick in the lottery box with a stunned face.

"It can't be such a coincidence, can it?" Seeing that the twenty-four people in front of him had found their opponents, Ling Xia looked at the bamboo stick with surprise on his face, and then, in the gaze of everyone, he drew out the remaining bamboo stick that everyone picked, only to see the word "empty" written on it.

"Brother Tai's luck is simply ------ great, if we hadn't seen it with our own eyes, I'm afraid we would have to suspect that there was something wrong here, and I won the bye for the second time in a row, and I admire it." Several exams blessed Ling Xia stupidly.

"Ahem------- see the smile, see the smile, don't say you think it's incredible, in fact, I think it's incredible." In response, Ling Xia and the other candidates took bamboo sticks and went to the sidelines to compete.

Because it is a play-in match, so this game is particularly intense, the players have come up with the ability to press the bottom of the box, after a competition in full swing, in the end there are six players successfully stood out, counting the bye of Ling Xia, a total of seven candidates entered the semi-finals.

The semi-finals were held at noon, and at this moment, Yangwutai was surrounded by people watching the game, and people were guarding around Yangwutai, and the water around Yangwutai was blocked, and in a corner next to it, someone opened the winning and losing game.

According to the strength and ranking of Ling Xu's seven people, the bookmakers have opened odds at different prices, and in the current odds, the first place is the popular player Nangong Cheng, because he is the person with the highest martial arts in the crowd, and the winning side is very large, so his odds are one with one.

And another popular figure is Ling Xia, in view of Ling Xia's useless move to advance to the semi-finals, therefore, people call him the most mysterious player, dealers compare him with Nangong Ling, at present his odds are one to two, and those who are watching the excitement next to him are betting frantically at the moment.
