Chapter 393: Sleep soundly
The first test of the first day of the martial arts test is called the "outfield", and the second trial on the second day is called the "infield".
It is also commonly known as the art of war.
Compared to the number of people in the first session yesterday, there are many fewer people taking the art of war test today.
The Great Zhou Martial Arts Township Test stipulates that the first martial arts test will gallop three times, send ten arrows, and the target of the three arrows will be qualified, and those who cannot reach the three arrows will not be allowed to participate in the second game.
Yesterday, because of the batch of fierce war horses brought by the black armor guards, many candidates were defeated.
The number of people participating in the second session of this year's martial arts examination was even smaller than in previous years, and there were less than 200 people in the examination booth at this time.
Compared with the scene of thousands of people taking the exam at the same time during the literary examination, the scale is much smaller.
Huizhou's literary style is extremely good, but the martial style is far inferior to the four border states.
This year, there are only 200 people in Huizhou who can participate in the examination, of which only 50 are in the martial arts examination, which is directly less than half of the 100 people in the previous session.
The competition is extremely fierce.
The infield exam is more difficult for most martial artists to cope with than the outfield exam, so it is often changed. In the previous dynasty, the theory of policy was examined, and "policy" was equivalent to a question and answer question, and "theory" was to write an argumentative essay according to the test question. In the previous dynasties, it was generally two articles of strategy and two articles, and the topics were selected from the four books and the martial arts.
Because some practitioners are not good at writing, and most of the strategies and theories examined are unqualified, and many of those with outstanding results in the field are often defeated in the field, Emperor Taizu simply abolished the policies and theories at the beginning of the establishment of the martial arts test of this dynasty, and instead wrote a paragraph of the martial scriptures silently as required, usually only about 100 words.
However, such blind accommodation made the level of the infield examination lower and lower, and finally it was almost a formality, and the civil officials became more and more contemptuous of the military attachés, and the civil and military discord intensified.
And the queen of heaven Niangniang was even more ruthless, and directly changed the martial arts test to four articles, two articles, and added ten actual combat scenario corresponding questions, which directly accounted for half of the score.
The difficulty of the infield exam has skyrocketed, making cultivators who are not afraid of heaven and earth complain.
finally managed to survive the second game, and all the candidates who stayed did not dare to slack off. After yesterday's baptism of the fierce horse, many cultivators who boasted of being the pride of the sky also smoothed out a lot of tempers, and the examination booth was quiet, and everyone looked serious.
It's just that when I heard a soft snoring sound not far away, the corners of everyone's eyes twitched.
Actually, it wasn't loud, but the cultivators' ears were too good.
If it's normal for nothing, but when everyone is racking their brains, someone next to them is sleeping, it's very annoying.
Not only are the candidates annoyed, but the invigilators can't bear it either.
Sitting in the examiner's position not far away, the general's face became more and more ugly, thinking that this was really the worst session he had ever led.
Originally, there were few people who lasted until the second game, and there was actually a time to sleep in the exam.
Without waiting for the official who maintained the discipline to go to check, the military general stood up first, preparing to drive out this candidate who did not know how to cherish the opportunity.
However, when he saw the man's appearance clearly, his face became strange, and he slowly sat down again.
"Your Excellency?" The official next to him asked hesitantly, pointing to the candidate who was sleeping soundly on the table, "Do you want to wake her up?" ”
The general narrowed his eyes and said, "Let her go." ”
Let her go.
In a crowd of candidates, the man looked very conspicuous, if not because he was sleeping.
Because it's a woman.
A woman who participated in the martial arts test. Rumors about her have spread throughout Huizhou City.
She is no longer an ordinary woman, nor is she an ordinary candidate.
From the British government, Miss Zhu Jiu.
Even if she doesn't know her many deeds, the candidates and examiners of the martial arts exam all know that in yesterday's bow and horse skills, there was a candidate with a perfect score.
No, it was a candidate with two perfect scores.
It's better to say that only the two are more shocking.
Because the other one is just too famous.
Yesterday, everyone in the streets and alleys of Huizhou was talking about the famous Duan Ergongzi who got a full score in the first martial arts test.
It is rare to ride a bow horse to shoot ten targets, and the red heart in the middle of the ten targets is a rare occurrence in ten years, and it is deserved to be rated as a full score, which is indeed a major event.
But just when people are talking, it is inevitable to mention another perfect score.
This leads to a very awkward situation.
When mentioning Duan Ergongzi, Miss Zhu Jiu must be mentioned.
And it's not by the way. The cultivators who watched the first martial arts test yesterday all saw with their own eyes that Miss Zhu Jiu had shot ten targets before Duan Ergongzi.
I heard that when I was scoring yesterday, for this reason, some people even asked whether to reduce Duan Lizheng's score to nine points.
In terms of fairness, in previous years, when the number of targets was the same, the fastest one scored at least one point higher.
But at that time, Miss Zhu Jiu and Duan Ergongzi were gone, and even the black-armored guard captain who was originally scheduled to be rated did not know where to go.
In the end, the chief examiner Bo Nian suppressed the proposal that Duan Lizheng, the deputy lieutenant of the Black Armor Guard, score nine points, and sentenced both of them to ten points on the grounds that the speed of both of them exceeded the standard by a long time, and there was no reason to deduct the points.
It also makes sense.
But even so, Miss Zhu Jiu is still the first person to shoot on horseback.
The first place in the field yesterday, and today I slept in the examination room of the second session.
It's all going on.
So women just can't do great things......
If it was an ordinary candidate, he would naturally be able to drive him out at this time, but now looking at the sleeping woman, the military general is not easy to start.
Because it's her.
Miss Zhu Jiu from the British Mansion.
This woman is on the cusp of the storm at this time, and if he does this, I am afraid that he will be poked and broken in the backbone when he goes out.
Time passed little by little, it was noon, the woman had no sign of waking up, and the faces of the surrounding candidates became more and more ugly.
Duan Lizheng pinched the pen and wrote quietly, his face calm, as if he was not affected by everything around him.
Many candidates glanced at him, and they were not immune to his influence and calmed down.
is worthy of being the first son of Huizhou.
It's steady.
No one knew that Duan Lizheng's heart was like frying at this time. Only when I heard the evenness of the breathing of the woman next to her was I comforted.
This morning, Zhu Luan was carried by Zhu Rong to the examination room.
Duan Lizheng was like this when she saw it, she slept until she was about to enter the arena, opened her eyes and entered the arena, and fell asleep again when she found her position.
It's like making up for all the sleep I didn't get a few days ago.
Thinking of what Song Huaizhu said before, it was not surprising that she would have such a reaction, but she didn't expect this woman to fall asleep so deeply.
This made Duan Lizheng regret it a little, wondering if the man had done something to her yesterday.
This woman was defenseless against Song Huaizhu for some reason, but that person was not only a grandmaster, but also Xie Yuan.
is their opponent.
Sure enough, he should have been stopped yesterday.
Time passed little by little. Duan Lizheng became more and more tormented.
Three o'clock in the afternoon.
Without any warning.
Zhu Luan, who was lying on the table, opened his eyes.
