With the help of Zhang Cong, Mu Tong went down from the roof to the ground, and as for Mo Qing, of course, he came down by himself. Originally, he could take Mu Tong down, but in order to hide his clumsiness, Mu Tong didn't allow him to expose his cultivation. Because of this, Mo Qing is already a strong earth master, which is a bit shocking. After all, he is not a disciple of the sect, but a descendant of a secular merchant family, a master of the earth who is less than 12 years old, even if he is placed in the sect, he is a peerless genius of the first class.

After saying to Zhang Cong to be careful, the two separated.

Mu Tong first entered the house where the invigilator was resting for the first time. All the officials involved in the scientific expedition were sent by him to take them here, although they were squeezed a little, but it was convenient to protect. And it's just not enough for each person to have a chair, it's enough to sit on the ground.

There are also five forbidden soldiers standing in the house who protect them, all of whom are good players selected by Zhang Cong, and all of them are cultivators.

Seeing Mu Tong enter the door, the group of officials who were startled by the shouting and killing outside all spoke out to inquire about the development of the gaffe. Even Liu Xun, who didn't deal with Mu Tong, couldn't help but ask a few words.

"Everyone, be quiet! just moths to the flames of assassins. Your Excellency, don't mess yourself up. Everyone is an official of the imperial court, so don't let the candidates everywhere see the jokes of our officials. As for the enemy outside, it is just a grasshopper after autumn, and it won't last long. Where is this, it's the Tribute Academy! It's the Tribute Courtyard of the Wangcheng! It's the scientific research room! There are a thousand elite soldiers of the Mohai Kingdom outside. There are the best of the best of the best, a hundred well-armed forbidden soldiers, and even more sharp weapons like crossbows, how can these rabble assassins threaten us. Please calm down. ”

was fooled by Mu Tong like this, and the officials felt that it was too.

I didn't see that there were almost two sticks of incense outside, and no one could break in. What else do you worry about?

Just when the officials put their hearts back in their stomachs, one of the officials was a little uncomfortable.

He was extremely uneasy. I'm so anxious.

He has sent out the distribution of the Tribute Academy, the planning of the examination room, and the sentry posts of the forbidden army, why has no one killed him for so long. Didn't you say that you would slaughter the officials of the Gongyuan and blame the candidates for reference, so that the Mohai Kingdom would fall into turmoil and everyone would be in danger?

Why don't you do it yet!

Mu Tong quietly glanced at this person with a somewhat ugly face, and affirmed his conjecture in his heart.

Sure enough, it is necessary to watch out for him these days.

Fortunately, he asked Zhang Cong to secretly apply for a batch of repeating crossbows, and this traitor would never have imagined that the forbidden army in the tribute courtyard would actually have a ten-shot repeating crossbow.

Let you be a Xuanshi and an earth master, or even a heavenly master, if you are hit by dozens of crossbows without vigilance, you will definitely die or live.

After pacifying the officials, it's time to appease the candidates.

For this reason, Mu Tong struggled to persuade Liu Xun, who was afraid of death, and Zeng Xian, a calm concubine, to accompany him to appease the candidates.

After all, the two are deputy examiners, and if something so big happens, if the three principals don't show up, then the candidates are afraid that they will panic.

Sure enough, when the three of Mu Tong stepped into the examination room, they found that the candidates who were supposed to be resting in their compartments all stuck their heads out and talked about the shouting and killing sound with the people around them.

Some were already trembling with fear. If it weren't for the Forbidden Army standing here, they would have been scared away.

"My lord, what the hell is going on out there!"

"My lord, is there a rebellion?"

"My lord, is it the enemy country that is coming?"

Yes, as soon as they saw the three of Mu Tong, this group of open-minded candidates began to ask questions.

Listening to the question that said that the enemy country was fighting, the corners of Mu Tong's mouth twitched, and he was secretly proud in his heart.

It seems that the brain teaser in the morning really broadened the minds of this group of guys, and when they heard the shouts of killing, they thought that the enemy country was coming.

What kind of place do you think this royal city is? If someone had attacked the royal city, everyone would have surrendered a long time ago, and they were still fighting outside the Gongyuan?

After all, the so-called death of the country is just a change of emperor, and it is not a battle to slaughter the city, how can it be that the defenders are all defeated, and the people are still resisting.

The surname Mo on the throne or the surname Zhao Qiansun Li is really not important to the people of this world.

"Ahem, all the candidates, go back to your places and have a good rest. Don't worry, it's just some moths to the fire thieves who want to make trouble. They have been stopped by our elite soldiers, and now they are being surrounded and suppressed, and these stubborn thieves will soon be killed. So let's rest in peace. Your task is to prepare yourself for tomorrow's exams. And not to worry about it here. If there is really danger, the official will be the first to run. Don't look at this official as the chief examiner, but this official is still a child!"

In order to relieve the nervousness of the candidates, Mu Tong joked about his age.

The effect is naturally quite good.

Hearing what he said, some bold candidates took the opportunity to exclaim: "My lord, don't be presumptuous! I had children when I was your age! What kind of child are you, you are Lord Shaojun!"

"That's it! It's really dangerous, and adults can't leave us! As a young gentleman, he wants to protect us. ”

"Adult, after the exam, I will invite you to go to [Zuixiang Building] to shop, you will not be a child!"

Mu Tong looked at the group of candidates who were releasing the pressure, and didn't care about them taking their own brushes, and raised his hand to stop Liu Xun who wanted to reprimand the candidates, Mu Tong pointed to the candidates who were clamoring to take him to the Qinglou. Threatened him.

"You, that's you, this official remembers you. If you fail in the imperial examination this time, it means that you didn't work hard and lost all your energy [Zuixiang Building], this official will definitely issue a ban to you, and you will not be allowed to receive you in the Qinglou before you are in high school, otherwise my Mu family will waste money and squeeze out the Qinglou. ”

"Oh, no, sir!"

"Well done! My lord, I reported that Brother Liu Yan has lived in the [Drunken Red Mansion] since he entered the capital, and he has never come out at all!"

Looking at the guy who fell into the well, Mu Tong nodded at him and said with a smile: "You are not a good thing either." Otherwise, how do you know that he has been living in the [Drunken Red Mansion] and has not come out. Betraying your colleagues, if you go to high school, I will punish you for inviting all the candidates here to go to the [Drunken Red Mansion] once!"

"Spare your life, sir, if you sell me, you can't afford to hire all the brothers here!"

A sense of tension caused by the assassination was eliminated by the gags of Mu Tong and the candidates.

Mu Tong did not linger either, and told them to follow the order and rest early, so as not to lose energy tomorrow. After all, it's almost ugly now.

Fortunately, the candidates also knew that it was a special situation now, so the examiner let them be so presumptuous, and at other times, they would have been severely punished a long time ago. Therefore, when I saw that it was good, I took it and went to rest in peace.

Fortunately, there are wooden beds in each compartment, and I don't have to worry about where to sleep.

It's just that some candidates are from poor families, and the bedding they brought is a little tattered and thin, but fortunately, Mu Tong also found out and sent someone to bring some bedding over.

Because Mu Tong became the chief examiner, he had already changed the utensils in the Tribute Academy.

People are reluctant to throw away the extra bedding, so these bedding put away by the subordinates just give these poor candidates, and no one will dislike it.

Just when Mu Tong left the examination room where the candidates were, he found that the shouting and killing outside had disappeared.

Zhang Cong hurried over and told Mu Tong that the thief had been repulsed.

It turned out that reinforcements were coming. A full 5,000 soldiers and horses were stationed outside the tribute courtyard.
