Three days after the test, the list of candidates who passed the first level of the literary test was posted, followed by the official start of the two martial arts tests. This time, there were far fewer candidates than in the first one, and many people were brushed down, especially those civilian candidates with a low level of education.

Although there are fewer candidates, there are more and more spectators in the capital, and everyone is waiting to see the excitement.

The strength test has finally begun. Three pairs of stone piers of different weights are placed on the ground, and the candidates who report their names pull the stone piers before they go up. This movement is different from weightlifting, you don't need to go over your head, you just need to lift the stone pier between the chest and abdomen with both hands.

There is only one chance per person, and you can lift it in order from small to large, or you can lift the heaviest stone pier directly. Usually, people are more safe to mention lightly, at least there will be results. If you directly mention the heaviest failure, then there will be no results and you will be eliminated directly.

As the exam progressed, many people were eliminated again, and there were even candidates who lost their balance because they couldn't control their strength, and were seriously injured by the stone piers.

"Next, Su Can." Su Can played before Yang Xiaoshan.

I saw that he was angry, one step at a time, and walked to the examination room with confidence, everyone thought that he would choose the heaviest, but he chose the lightest two hundred pounds of stone piers, only to see that his hands were competing, his face suddenly became red, blood pressure rose sharply, and finally the stone pier finally left the ground, and then he yelled again, and the joints in his legs rang open.

The melon-eating audience who had been watching the excitement around him cheered for him abnormally, perhaps it was the desperate cheering of the audience that gave Su Can strength, and the stone pier was finally mentioned by him to the middle of his chest and abdomen.

"Success." The examiner next to him held up a sign.

Su Can hurriedly put down the stone pier and jumped up to celebrate the victory, of course, he didn't forget to throw a handful of copper coins at the cheering audience next to him.

"Keep it up!" The greedy melon-eating masses are like being beaten with chicken blood, hoping that he can make persistent efforts.

"Candidates can choose a heavier one." The examiner prompted.

"No, I'll give up." Su Can directly raised his hand to give up, he was self-aware, his limit was two hundred catties, and no matter how heavy it was, it wouldn't work.

The melon-eating audience who had just won the copper coin immediately turned back, and a kind of sarcasm was endless, because they had no money to take.

Su Can stepped down and left the examination room directly, not caring about the laughter next to him, he didn't blush at all, he had been in the beggar gang for a long time, and his face was thicker than the city wall.

After a while, it was finally Yang Xiaoshan's turn.

"Candidate Yang Xiaoshan, please enter." The examiner called Yang Xiaoshan's name.

Yang Xiaoshan entered the examination room expressionlessly. Eating melons, the audience still commented on him.

"This won't work, little white face."

"Looking at his expression, I'm afraid he's a master."

"At most, I bet three taels of silver for the middle results."

。。。。。。。

Candidates have the pressure of candidates, and the audience has the business of spectators.

"I bet him a hundred taels of silver, and bet that he can carry a stone pier weighing up to three hundred catties." Su Can got out of the examination room and turned to the audience to make some money.

Su Can's one hundred taels of silver entered this small casino, which immediately caused a sensation, because the handicap was immediately different.

Many people saw the change in the handicap and immediately bet that Yang Xiaoshan could not mention the heaviest, because this would win a lot of money.

How could Yang Xiaoshan know the situation outside, he chose the heaviest stone pier without thinking.

disappointed most people, Yang Xiaoshan lifted the 300-pound stone pier very smoothly, and the two months of special training made him improve his strength a lot. He was confident in his strength.

With a painful sound of the surrounding gambling crowd, Yang Xiaoshan walked to the stage. On the audience, Su Can won two hundred taels of silver with a smile, "Haha, the round-trip fee from Guangzhou to the capital has finally been earned back by me." ”

The strength test is over, and many candidates have been eliminated. The last mounted archery test was finally held.

With the sound of gongs and drums, the candidates rode their horses in turn, those who had money of course brought their beloved horses to the stage, and those who did not have money could only ride the inferior horses provided by the examination room. Among the many candidates, of course, Yang Xiaoshan's white horse "White Lion" is the most conspicuous, even people who don't understand horses can see that this horse is more stable and calm than those horses next to it.

A good war horse is like this, it will not panic, it will not panic, and it will always maintain a stable state, so that the shooter will shoot arrows on the horse, and it will be more stable and accurate.

In order to distribute it fairly, although the horses brought their own horses in the mounted archery test, the bow and arrow were uniformly issued by the examination room, and it was also the standard standard bow and arrow of the Qing court.

Su Can still appeared first, still swaggering and full of confidence. He rode a black steed into the examination room.

"Su Can, your bow and arrow." The examiner gave him a bow and arrow by name.

Su Can turned the bow twice between his hands and carried it on his back very handsomely. Then he lifted the horse, and the black horse raised its front hooves and barked into the sky, very pretending to be forced.

The melon-eating audience had been tricked by him before, and there was a "cut" sound in his mouth immediately.

Su Can didn't hear it, he flicked the horsewhip empty, and the black horse ran, and it looked like a very good horse, running very steadily.

This riding shoots two kinds of results, red center and outside white circle, 10 points for shooting the red heart, 5 points for shooting the white circle, and the total score is calculated after the six arrows are shot, but they must not miss the target, as long as one misses the target, there is no result, and it is eliminated.

Su Can's black horse ran to the target money, Su Can picked up his bow and arrows, and shot three arrows in a row, all of which hit the red heart. He turned the horse's head triumphantly, and once again, all three arrows hit the red heart, and all six in a row all hit the red heart, which is a very good result, enough to leave the results of the vast majority of candidates behind.

The rare good results made the surrounding audience applaud loudly this time without money, Su Can raised his hands without shame to accept everyone's cheers, "Thank you fathers and fellow villagers, I am Su Can, the son of the governor of Guangzhou." ”

The difficulty of riding and shooting is much more difficult than lifting stone piers, and more candidates have been eliminated.

Yang Xiaoshan finally appeared on the "White Lion", and the most handsome knight in the examination room immediately ushered in the cheers of the girls.

Yang Xiaoshan was a horse archer two months ago, but now he has a lot of confidence in himself. Although he can't shoot arrows as dashing as Su Can, as long as he plays normally, six arrows should be able to hit the heart.

"Yang Xiaoshan, your bow and arrow." The examiner issued a bow and arrow as usual.

Yang Xiaoshan took the bow and arrow, adjusted the angle of the horse's running, and the white lion under his crotch comprehended, gradually accelerating from slow to fast, and Yang Xiaoshan sat on it steadily.

"Medium"

"Medium"

"Medium"

Not surprisingly. Yang Xiaoshan won three hearts in a row.

"So handsome! This knight on a white horse. The girls consciously cheered for Yang Xiaoshan.

Yang Xiaoshan was not distracted by them, turned the horse's head, and had three arrows to shoot.

"Medium"

"Medium"

"Oops!"

The last arrow flew against the target, and Yang Xiaoshan fell on the target, which was to be eliminated directly according to the regulations.

Yang Xiaoshan's brain buzzed, he didn't expect such a situation to occur.
