Yang Yuying was able to break the trap as if it were nothing, and the speed of the group increased a lot.

The three of them had been running for about a quarter of an hour, and there was a fork in the road ahead.

To the left, there is a lush forest.

To the right, there is a patch of grass.

There was a faint sound of wild beasts chirping in the woods.

There was also a strange beast roar faintly in the grass.

Yang Yuying stopped.

Lin Guan and Xia Zhiming turned their heads to look at her in unison, and she was also a little helpless: "Although there is a map on that painting, it is only the general direction and hints, and most of the time, I am also guessing." ”

"Oh."

Lin Guan smiled, slowly turned his head and said to the senior brother who was squatting on the tree, "Senior brother, where should we go?" ”

This time, the roadkeeper who was squatting on the tree didn't mean to let him choose at all, and obviously had his own communication method with the roadkeeper in front of him, and he had already communicated.

The one on the tree, as soon as he stretched out his hand, threw down the title and the brush, and closed his mouth tightly without saying a word.

Lin Guan: "Hmm. ”

It seems that he is a person who makes the senior brothers and sisters in the academy very jealous!

took the question, stared at it for a long time, and stretched out his hand to poke Xia Zhiming: "Oh, take a look." ”

Xia Zhiming looked at it, cut off a branch, pulled the hem of his clothes, squatted on the ground and began to calculate.

Yang Yuying also walked over and looked at it twice, it was a simple arithmetic of a binary equation, and it was not even necessary to calculate.

She directly picked up the brush and wrote the answer, and as soon as she threw it, the paper flew up the tree.

The senior brother stared at the topic with a straight face for half a minute, and had no choice but to reluctantly raise his hand and point to the forest on the left.

Yang Yuying turned her head and left.

Lin Guan blew his whistle, dragged up Xia Zhiming, who was still squatting on the ground and calculating, followed closely and rushed away.

Xia Zhiming frowned, although he didn't move, but obviously he was still thinking about the topic in his head, and his pace was a little shaky, if it wasn't for Lin Guan to correct it from time to time, I am afraid that this beautiful Xia family pearl would have to roll into a ball with the dust of the grass and trees several times.

After that, he met the roadkeepers three times in succession.

Yang Yuying broke three levels in a row, all of them were swept at a glance, and she filled in the answers casually.

At the third level in the back, the senior brother who was guarding the road was a little helpless, looking at Yang Yuying's incredible speed, he sighed: "Sit, give you some food, wait for half an hour?" ”

There is still an unfinished arrangement ahead, okay, they are so fast, and it is very difficult for them to wait for others.

Yang Yuying: "......"

So, the three of them had to sit down and wait for dinner.

"Miss Yang, please tell him, there are poisonous insects in the grass, don't walk around." Xia Zhiming said suddenly.

Yang Yuying: "......"

Lin Guan rolled his eyes, stopped, and sat down honestly: "I can hear you...... Are you so angry? ”

Xia Zhiming closed his eyes and was silent, looking like he didn't plan to communicate with Lin Guan.

Yang Yuying looked left and right, and felt that if she really teamed up with these two people, I was afraid that the degree of cooperation between her companions would not be clear, and the degree of harmony would not be high.

At this moment, Mr. Du Yuezhengdu, who was far away in the academy, had just received a lot of news from the disciples on the mountain, blinked, stared at the message, and didn't speak for a long time.

Lao Qu leaned over and looked at it, and laughed: "Our candidates this year seem to be a bit remarkable, the speed is so fast, the level you came up with may not have time to be arranged." ”

Du Yuezheng was stunned and chuckled: "How good." ”

It is not only the wish of their mountain chiefs to be nurtured by the world's talents, but also the gentlemen who are also very ambitious.

Is there anything more joyful in the world than countless young heroes gathered under their own doors?

And since His Majesty decreed, ordering the major academies to select outstanding students to enter Beijing to participate in the competition, the relationship between the academies has been a little delicate, and each other is a little competitive and competitive.

"Well, I also have to tell those who are senior brothers not to be too ruthless in the arrangement of exam questions. Don't forget, there are still a bunch of related households on the mountain, and these people are not good to be injured. ”

Lao Wang sighed and said.

At present, the first echelon on the mountain is Xia Zhiming, Lin Guan, Yang Yuying, and an inconspicuous Fang Shuo.

The second echelon is a group of self-owned sources, which occupy a lot of convenient related households.

For example, Zhao Shaoyao, the small county lord of Zhao Zizheng's family, the king of Zhennan, and her clansmen read together.

Another example is the young patriarch Leyi of the Haiyue tribe, as well as the young men and women of the Haiyue nobles who accompany the study.

At present, no academy is indispensable for related households, and Changping Academy itself is the same, and even the gentlemen of the academy are very surprised that there can be such a noble related household.

You must know that in previous years, those who wanted to enter the academy were at most the relatives, nephews and nephews of third- and fourth-grade officials of a certain imperial court, and even the children of sixth- and seventh-grade officials.

Now that he has been elevated to King Zhennan, one of the four kings, Du Yuezheng is a little dizzy.

These related households are not like Xia Zhiming, who can be directly exempted from the exam, but they also get a lot of preferential treatment, and they will not get the exam questions directly, but when the road keepers meet them, they will come up with relatively simple questions, and if they can't answer them, they will find a way to let them pass.

So these guys are also quite fast.

When Yang Yuying roasted two wild pheasants and gave them to Xia Zhiming and Lin Guan to enjoy together, they saw a team of people coming to the soup.

The person who came looked like a foreigner, wearing a colorful robe, wearing a hat full of feathers on his head, two strong men with a shoulder on his shoulder, and a fat man sitting on it, slept with drooling, and after a while, his nose twitched, and he woke up in a trance, and swallowed his saliva.

"Chicken, it's so fragrant, it's so fragrant."

Although it was very fragrant, he just swallowed his saliva pitifully, glanced at Yang Yuying a few times, and did not ask for anything, but just took the cake from the companion who was responsible for carrying him, took a bite of it, and ate it with great cherishment.

Yang Yuying couldn't help but smile.

This round candidate was dressed in fancy clothes, but the material was absolutely top-notch, with that string of pearls on his wrist was worth a fortune, and the gems inlaid on his hat and shoes were also very valuable, and he was obviously a powerful child of a foreign clan.

Although she is very squeamish, she still sits on her shoulders when she comes to the exam, but she is not like the foreigners she has seen, who are like thunderous at every turn.

Therefore, Yang Yuying handed over half a chicken, and the fat man's eyes were full of light, and he also divided the cakes, and said with a smile in a not very proficient Chinese: "You are so good, I thought that you Han people are so fierce." ”

As he spoke, he looked back with palpitations, "There is a fierce county lord, the county lord of your Han people, which is particularly terrifying. ”

In a few words, the two of them are a little familiar, round and good students praise Dashun, what food is delicious, what folk customs are simple, etc., so that even Xia Zhiming's slightly melancholy look has been eased.

As he was talking, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves on the mountain road, and he was startled: "Fierce! ”

Before the words fell, a woman in a red dress and a red streamer led seven or eight similarly dressed men and women to gallop past, and the horse's hooves almost stepped on the feet of the senior brother guarding the road before they stopped: "How to go to the examination room?" ”

The senior brother guarding the road raised his arm and pointed without saying a word.

The woman in red sneered and rushed over.

Lin Guan sighed: "No wonder the power is so moving, the power is powerful, it is beneficial." ”
