Chapter 19: A knife is as thin as a cicada's wings

The night was deep, the sky was starless and moonless, and the clouds were thick.

In the guest house of the Jixia School Palace, the lights were like beans, and the envoys from various countries almost did not rest, and they were talking in the room.

"Is this poem really written by a student named Chen Le? He seems to be only sixteen years old! ”

"This Chen Le and Lile were kicked out of the examination room in both subjects, and they got a Ding and other end, how could they make such a poem?"

"Hahaha, I'd rather be a centurion than a scholar, it's really a good poem, a good poem, although the old man is now a civil official, he is a military general, and it's really great to see such poems!"

"This Chen Le is not only good at poetry, but also very good at handwriting!"

"Why isn't there this Chen Le's national treatise volume?"

"What, it was taken away by Mr. Mirror Flower? What's going on? Is the national theory too well written or too bad, if it is too bad, it proves that the poem was not written by him, if it is too good, then what is Mr. Jinghua's thoughts? ”

"What is the background of this Chen Le? Aristocrats or commoners? Check it out for me right away! ”

In the depths of the Jixia School Palace, there is a quaint small building, which is elegant and quiet, but the interior decoration is extremely luxurious.

Mr. Kagamika sat at a rosewood table and looked at an exam paper on the table repeatedly.

"How can you write this kind of article at a young age, is there someone behind it? Forget it, this article must not be circulated whether he wrote it or not, alas, it is a pity that this good word, although it is difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood in poems and articles, but this word is undoubtedly true! ”

Mr. Jinghua looked at the examination paper with a cherished face, and then silently put the paper in front of the candle and lit it gently, and in an instant, the fire on the examination paper was blazing, reflecting Mr. Jinghua's face was melancholy.

"This article, it's a pity that you go to Xudu Jingzhou to participate in the imperial examination of the Great Xu Dynasty, and you will get the top three!" Mr. Jinghua said to himself: "But if there are many gate valves today, the family is powerful, and the Xu Dynasty was helpless to take these families when it was founded, so he came up with a way to take the imperial examination, and fought against the gate valve with a cold door, and the final effect was very little, not to mention, it has been hated and eaten by the family lord for five hundred years, and it is about to fall apart, if this article is spread, the Xu Dynasty may be ecstatic, but the family gate valves will be annoyed and angry......"

In one of the rooms of the guest house, the pale-faced young man once again threw the tea bowl on the table to the ground, and he didn't know how many tea bowls he had dropped that day.

"How could a person who does not know the pleasures of etiquette write such a poem? I don't believe it, I don't believe it! ”

"Young master, people have expertise, if a person understands all aspects, then there is no one who can excel in that aspect."

"I ...... I know this truth, but it's just that it's hard to accept it in my heart for a while, Zhang Rang, why did you say that Mr. Jinghua hid this Chen Le's national theory exam paper? Is the exam paper too well written or too bad? ”

"The old slave guesses, it may not be a problem if it is too good or too bad, the question is whether there are any things that should not be said in this exam paper, and what should not be said?"

"Zhang let you say right, the heads of the four academies are all old foxes, and they are also known as what is detached from the world, since they are detached from the world, why do the disciples of the sect still want to enter the world!"

"Young master, no matter which vassal state gets the strong support of the academy, it will greatly increase its power, and the so-called detachment of the four major academies from the world is just a bargaining chip for them to stand up!"

"The ambition of the wolf, the ambition of the wolf, the whole world is not the king's land, the shore of the land is not the king's minister, the four major academies are the academies of my Daxu Dynasty, they still have to wait for the price to sell, it's really damn it!"

"Young master, alas, ......"

The night was getting deeper and deeper, and there was a large room at the far end of the guest house, in which three people were sitting, a middle-aged man, a young man, and a military general.

The middle-aged man was slightly chubby and looked like a rich man, and he looked at the other two with a wry smile on the corner of his mouth.

The young man looked like he was about twenty-five or sixteen years old, and then his voice said hesitantly: "Master Mo, are you sure that it is Gongzile who wrote this poem?" ”

The slightly chubby Master Mo nodded: "I have investigated, there is only one student named Chen Le in the entire Jixia School Palace, and he is the only one who has the word Qingzhi, Gongzi Qiuhan was not in good health back then, and he knew that there were not many days to come, so he took down this table word for Gongzile early, so the person who wrote this poem must be Gongzile!" ”

The young man's face became very ugly when he heard this: "I heard that Gongzile was sent to the school palace by Master Zongzheng at the age of twelve, and then his studies were so bad that he didn't know how to learn at all, how could he write such a poem?" ”

"Poetry may be fake, but are words fake?" Master Mo's eyes flashed: "Back then, the relationship between Lao Zongzheng and Gongzi Qiuhan was irreversible, if it wasn't for Lao Zongzheng's support, Gongzi Qiuhan would probably have been killed by the former king by finding an opportunity, but now, if there is no Lao Zongzheng, Gongzi Le may also be eliminated by today's king, Gongzi Qiuhan died early, maybe no one knows his talent, but I know something, so Gongzile will never be as unlearned as the legend!" ”

"What do you mean...... Childe has been defiling himself? ”

Master Mo lowered his eyelids slightly and said nothing.

The young man's face twitched, and he thought to himself, this Lord Mo is also too nervous, among the three people who came to the Jixia School Palace this time, none of them are old Zongzheng people, I really don't know what this Lord is cautious about......

Chen Le only learned that there were tricks in the exam of the Academy Palace on the morning of the next day, and this trick seemed to be tailor-made for himself, and it was called a special recruitment of students.

The school palace did not elaborate on the meaning of special students, judging from the title alone, it is not possible to distinguish the pity for those candidates who are biased, and also take care of some students with deep backgrounds, in short, even if some people fail the exam, but for some special reasons, they are considered to have passed, but this pass is only the passage of the six arts exam, and it does not necessarily mean that they can be promoted to prefecture-level students, and then, they have to participate in the exam of the practical class.

Practical exams are a very dangerous assessment, and the academy has always required both civil and military skills, so it is very likely that even students will go to the mountains to hunt a tiger.

Chen Le now in addition to archery, fist and foot kung fu is commonplace, he secretly calculated the time, it has been a month since the last time he entered the system, and he couldn't help but whisper: System, I want to enter the space to exercise!

With the sound of "Ding Dong", he instantly entered the system space filled with white light.

"What does the host want to exercise this time?" A voice of indifference without a trace of emotion sounded.

Chen Le looked at the lines of big characters such as knives, guns, swords, halberds, axes, hooks and forks, sticks and shovels, whips and hammers, bows and arrows and hidden weapons in the white light in front of him, and said with a slight smile: "System, I want to learn hidden weapons!" ”

"Okay, now explain to the host that the hidden weapon is not included in the rank of the general, only as a means of self-defense, there are now a total of eighteen hidden weapons in the system for the host to choose, please choose the hidden weapon you want to learn."

Chen Le squinted his eyes and looked into the white light, he didn't necessarily choose the most powerful secret weapon now, he only needed to choose the fastest and quickest to get started.

There is actually a flying needle, which is a good thing, but it takes time to practice, and it may not be possible in a month.

What is this? Is this an ironcapus terrestris? It's easy to practice, but it's too powerful, and although I don't want it to be the most powerful, it's not too small.

Chen Le looked at the hidden weapons one by one, and finally his eyes fell on a flying knife that was about three inches long, with extremely narrow and thin blades, like transparent willow leaves.

"I'll choose this kind of secret weapon!"

"Okay, the host has chosen the Cicada Wing Flying Knife, now start the timer practice!"
