Lu Wangshu had told Su Xiaoman before going out today that she would not return to the palace when she went to Xunning's house today, so she didn't have to worry.

Su Xiaoman didn't have anything to worry about, thinking that it would be boring to eat alone, so he went to the study and ate with Lu Li.

...

Lu Wangshu's side, after eating a home-cooked meal that he hadn't eaten for a long time, a group of people sat under the big tree in the garden and chatted while enjoying the shade.

After saying a lot, Xun Ning found that his family didn't ask about his martial arts test, so he asked.

"Why didn't you ask me about the martial arts test? Don't you care about me anymore? ”

Seeing his coquettish appearance, everyone burst out laughing.

Seeing that everyone was smiling, Xun Ning frowned, a little puzzled.

His mother looked at him, then at his father meaningfully, and said with a smile.

"This matter, your father cares more than anyone else, and he went early in the morning to watch the list, so naturally he already knew."

Xun Ning looked at his father incredulously, but he didn't expect his father, who was indifferent to him on weekdays, to care so much about himself.

Lu Wangshu sat on the side and saw it clearly, the dark red on Xun's father's dark face reminded him of his father, and then the corners of his mouth hooked.

"Thank you."

Xun Ning looked at his father and said this sentence awkwardly, Lu Li looked at Xun's father's face, and an embarrassed look appeared.

Then he stepped forward and patted Xun Ning on the back, thinking about helping to play the round, and said with a smile.

"Uncle also cares about you, so reluctant to say thank you!"

Xun Ning blushed for a while, and said thank you father, this time Xun's father was a lot happier.

Going around and around, Xun Ning was still worried about them, but he didn't expect them to come here, so he asked.

"Why are you all here all of a sudden? How did everything settle down at home? What can you do here? ”

At present, he has not officially entered the palace, and he has not yet taken a fortune, and what he is most worried about is the life of his family.

Father Xun listened, the corners of his mouth hooked slightly, he was also a businessman before, and the things at home were naturally arranged.

"You can rest assured that you have rented land, you have enough food, and you can buy some vegetables grown by your grandmother on weekdays, and your mother also said that she wants to buy embroidery, so you don't have to worry."

Xun Ning listened, and there was still a worried look between his eyebrows, but fortunately, Lu Wangshu stopped him.

"Don't worry, the land rented here is not expensive, and all of it is at a uniform price, and there will be no big expenses."

After hearing this, Xun Ning was no longer worried, thinking that the competition in the next few days would be more serious, and he would have to mix up an official position and receive a salary to subsidize his family.

Xun's mother on the side seemed to remember something, got up and went into the house, as if she was looking for something.

Everyone didn't pay attention to it, and within a moment, Xun's mother came over with a package and handed it to Lu Wangshu.

Lu Wangshu was a little at a loss and looked at her suspiciously.

"At this time, Miss Sasha asked me to bring it to you, and there is a letter from you in it, so that I must give it to you."

Lu Wangshu touched the package, the texture inside was very soft, like a fabric or something.

Then he didn't show his excitement, and smiled and said thank you to Xun's mother.

"I'm tired of my aunt, and I'll write back to her in a few days and say that I've received something."

Xun's mother said that it would be good, and then did her own position.

Xun Ning looked envious, looked at his mother with a blank eye, and asked with a pout.

"Mother, Sister Sasha didn't bring me anything

West? ”

Xun's mother stepped forward and patted him on the head and glared at him.

"What's the matter with you?"

The family talked and laughed, and after dinner in the evening, Lu Wangshu stayed here.

The rented yard is exactly three rooms, the house is a fire kang, and there are quite a lot of bunks, so Lu Wangshu and Xun Ning live in one room.

"I haven't lived on this kang for a long time, and I still think about it."

Xun Ning touched the kang and missed it very much, and Lu Wangshu held his mouth while looking at it.

The next morning, the two children woke up early, and it was not long before the last exam, which made everyone very nervous.

After a hurried breakfast, the two returned to the palace and practiced on their own.

When Li Ran came, Lu Wangshu sat aside and watched Li Ran's guidance.

Day after day, soon it was the day of the palace test, and the platform was set up in the palace early, and many soldiers were guarded by it.

The first two hundred candidates have already been sequenced, first against second, third against fourth, and so on until the one hundred and ninety-ninth against two hundred.

Because of the large number of people, a total of seven platforms were built in the palace, six small and one large.

The winners of the six groups will draw lots to determine the order of the next matches.

Go to the seventh big platform to compete, and the winner can go home and leave the palace first to wait for the next showdown.

This palace election lasted for three days, and Lu Wangshu was still worried that he didn't know if this Xun Ning would be able to survive the first day.

Xun Ning was lined up very backwards, looking at the people who went down in groups, he was still a little flustered.

At this time, Lu Wangshu couldn't be by his side, he could only lower his head and look at the battlefield in front of him.

"Hey, you're the one hundred and sixty-fifth?"

Just as Xun Ning was trembling and looking ahead, a young man's voice came from beside him.

After hearing this, Xun Ning turned his head and looked at a young man who had found the same as himself, who was looking at himself a lot, and then nodded.

"Cowardly, that's just it, only promised, don't be scared and cry for a while."

The boy looked at Xun Ning with a cowering look, thinking that he was afraid, but he had the intention to look down on him.

Xun Ning didn't know that he had provoked this kid there, so he frowned, and didn't plan to say more to him.

It wasn't until it was his turn that he looked across from him at the kid who had just laughed at him.

"Hmph, coward, see if I don't fight, you fall into the water."

Seeing him so arrogant, Xun Ning was no longer nervous at this time, and his eyes were staring at him tightly.

"It's not sure who's crying."

The kid saw that Xun Ning seemed to be a different person, but he thought it was very interesting.

narrowed his eyes, put on a posture, and moved towards defeating Xun Ning.

Hearing the sound of the gong, the young man began to punch and smashed straight towards Xun Ning.

Xun Ning naturally dodged easily, set up a shelf, and attacked the young man.

The two fought together and refused to give in to each other, but Xun Ning did not exert all his strength.

Usually he fights with Lu Wangshu a lot, but the power of the people in front of him does not go to Wangshu, but it makes him feel very relaxed.

"It's not bad, I just saw you cowering, and I thought you were a showman."

From the beginning, the young man's mouth never stopped, and he kept muttering, which disturbed Xun Ning and punched him in the stomach.

The young man hurriedly retreated, the pain made him grit his teeth, Xun Ning saw this without pausing, and attacked again.

"Tell you to talk a lot."

The two of you don't want to let me punch and kick back and forth, Xun Ning saw that he couldn't delay any longer, so he attacked the young man on the opposite side

Go.

At first, it was just a duel of strengths, but from now on, it is a contest of internal forces.

Xun Ning slapped his palm, and although the young man dodged, a bloody mark appeared on his face.

Lu Wangshu watched in the dark, and saw that Xun Ning was playing well, so he nodded and left.

The young man seemed to be enraged, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, and he raised his hand to wipe the blood from his face.

"Unexpectedly, you still have a hidden hand."

Then they also lucked, and the two became entangled again for a while.

The young man obviously used all his strength, but Xun Ning was a little embarrassed at this time, and when he saw that the situation was not good, he was not hiding his strength.

Soon, the boy was beaten and there was no room to fight back, and he was out of breath.

"Xun Ningsheng."

Seeing this, the referee held up a sign and announced that Xun Ning won the game.

Xun Ning helped the limping young man out of the ring, watched him being taken away, and went to the side to wait for the draw.

After the draw was made, he was in the third group, and he could rest a little longer, and at this time he had a large number of men opposite.

I saw that he was no better, his clothes were ragged, and it seemed that the opponent just now was very tricky.

Xun Ning pinched a handful of sweat in his heart, not knowing if he would be able to do it for a while.

"Alas, have you heard, there was a game just now, and someone broke the opponent's tendons."

At this time, there was a voice around him, Xun Ning looked for the sound, and saw a group of people gathered together, as if something had happened.

At this time, he lost his nervousness, and stretched out his ears to listen carefully.

"I heard that it has been sent to the Tai Hospital, and it doesn't look like it's getting better."

"Yes, yes, what a sin, there has never been such a situation in the martial arts test for so many years, I didn't expect there to be such a ruthless person this time."

After hearing this, Xun Ning turned his head, his hands trembled a little, raised his hand, and touched his tendons.

I shuddered to think about it, and soon it was him, and this game can choose your own weapon.

Xun Ning, who didn't know anything, naturally took a sword, and he would also make a few moves when he practiced with Lu Wangshu on weekdays.

I thought that if there was no problem, I should be able to cope with it.

I saw that the big man had chosen a stick and was playing with it in his hand at this time.

As soon as the gong sounded, the two began to move, and Xun Ning tried to use light skills to fight against them.

At this time, Lu Wangshu had already set up a carriage to Xun Ning's house, picked up their family and prepared to take them into the palace.

The strong man's stick was very powerful, and when it went down, it seemed to be able to knock people into meat sauce.

However, he has a shortcoming, that is, his body is clumsy, Xun Ning just like this, he flew up on his tiptoes, wrapped his sword around the back, and attacked his vulnerable point.

"Hey."

The strong man was naturally not easy to deal with, so he turned around and swept over.

Xun Ning jumped to his feet, dodged the attack, and took two steps back.

Then the big man rushed forward and hit Xun Ning on the leg with a stick.

Xun Ning didn't stand it for a while, so he knelt on one knee on the ground, and when the big man saw this, he raised his stick and smashed it towards the top of his head.

Xun Ning naturally wouldn't be beaten by him again, so he turned around and rolled out.

At this time, blood was already oozing from the corners of his mouth, and he struggled to get up and discovered his weakness.

Dahan kept attacking, Xun Ning kept retreating, knowing the edge of the platform, and deliberately seduced Dahan to make a move.

"Hmph, that's it."

When the big man heard this, he seemed to be angered by his words, and raised his stick and smashed it towards Xun Ning.
