The remnant sun was like blood, a thin body, carrying a bamboo basket, reflected a more slender shadow in the sunset, and seeing a figure in front of him, Qin Feng hurriedly ran over.

"Old man, how long will it take to get from here to the capital?"

Hearing someone asking for directions with him, the old man looked at Qin Feng's dress and said. "You went to Beijing to take the exam, you can go all the way north from here to the capital, but you can't get there today."

Before Qin Feng could ask again, the old man seemed to know what Qin Feng was going to say, and pointed to the north with his finger.

"There's a ruined temple up there, you can go there for the night."

After thanking the old man, Qin Feng left in the direction that the old man pointed.

After walking for a while, Qin Feng saw the broken temple that the old man said, the door plaque entwined with cobwebs, covered by dust, and the marks of the past examinees were engraved on the wall, looking at the handwriting on the wall, Qin Feng also took out a pen on a whim, and also wrote a sentence on the wall.

The title of the gold list is the day of the temple renovation.

After writing it, Qin Feng thought about it and added his name to the back. Looking at the words in front of him, Qin Feng's thoughts drifted back to ten days ago.

Ten days ago, my father and sister looked at me with tears in their eyes and left home, and they were cold for ten years, in order to be able to make a name for themselves one day, so that my father and mother could live a better life and find a good home for my sister.

Thinking of this, Qin Feng also calmed down and found a relatively clean place, simply tidied up, and then lay down and slept, after all, after a day of traveling, there is nothing better than this.

Early the next morning, Qin Feng took out the dry food and ate a little casually, and then began to rush to the capital.

Before arriving at the city gate, he first saw the majestic three city gates, and when he walked to the city gate, he found that the original three gates were closed at the moment, leaving only the middle door, and two teams of soldiers stood next to them, checking every pedestrian who passed.

"Those who enter the city line up and take out their luggage to check!" A soldier shouted from the side of the crowd.

Fortunately, there were not many people, and it soon arrived at Qin Feng. Qin Feng only had a simple bamboo basket and took it off his back.

Seeing Qin Feng holding the bamboo basket, the soldiers who checked him looked disgusted.

"Yo, it's a poor scholar again, there's nothing, let's go in!" After speaking, he waved his hand and didn't even look at the bamboo basket.

In the face of the soldiers' ridicule, Qin Feng had long been accustomed to it, and it was imperative to find an inn to have a good rest.

The city was already bustling, all of them were coming to the imperial examination, and the small inn was already full, so in desperation, Qin Feng had to find a good inn.

"Little Er, come to a guest room."

"Master, you came at the right time, and we have this excellent room left. That's the price, you see? ”

Hearing that there was another one, Qin Feng was also relieved, although the price was a little expensive, but there was no other choice.

"Little Er, come to two good guest rooms!" At this moment, a young man and an old man walked in. Young men hold paper fans and wear white robes, and the fine silk is embroidered with elegant bamboo leaf patterns.

The young man's dress is a noble person, Xiao Er hurriedly said.

"Second master, we only have one room left, and I just got the bag by this son." After speaking, Xiao Er pointed at Qin Feng.

"That's right." The young man shook off the paper fan and said, "Butler, you can solve it." ”

"Yes, young master!" The old man said respectfully.

The old man walked to Qin Feng's side, "This son, I'll give you double the price, you can give this room to my young master." After speaking, he took out a piece of silver and handed it to Qin Feng.

Hearing that someone wanted to buy his own guest room, Qin Feng shook his head. "I'm sorry, but this ingot is very good, but I prefer this room in comparison." With that, he walked upstairs.

The old man hurriedly stopped Qin Feng again.

"This son! Do you think silver taels are not enough? You make an offer! The old man said confidently, after all, in his opinion, no one can escape the temptation of money.

"I'm sorry, but this room is just as important to me." After speaking, Qin Feng bypassed the old man.

The old man had no choice but to return to the young man's side and bow his head.

"Young master, the old slave is not doing well, please punish the young master!"

"Kind of interesting! I remember you! The young man also heard Qin Feng's answer, and a smile appeared on his face, but there was a trace of ruthlessness hidden behind the smile.

"Butler, let's go!"

"Yes, young master!"

.....

After resting in the inn for two days, it was also the day of the imperial examination, and there were soldiers at the door of every inn in the city to guide the candidates to the examination room. Following the flow of people, Qin Feng also came to the examination room, and after a careful inspection. Qin Feng also came to his room,

In order to prevent plagiarism and cheating, everyone is in a separate room, and the exam papers are handed in by the examiner through the window. Candidates will not have contact with anyone.

After getting the test paper, Qin Feng looked at the test paper in front of him seriously, compared to the previous nervousness, Qin Feng smiled slightly, as if the questions in the test paper could not stump him at all. Pick up the pen on the table and start waving.

With the sound of the time coming, Qin Feng also put down the pen in his hand, although the topic was not difficult in his opinion, but Qin Feng did not leave in advance, but checked it twice repeatedly, in his opinion, confidence does not equal conceit.

Walking out of the examination room, Qin Feng returned to the inn, and the next thing was to wait for the results to come out, just in time, he could take advantage of this time to travel to the capital.

A few days later, there was a sound of announcing the emperor's list in the city, and it turned out that the imperial examination rankings had come out. All the young talents in the inn ran towards the place where the emperor was posted.

Many places in the city have posted imperial lists, and as soon as Qin Feng walked out of the door of the inn, he saw an imperial list.

"Hey, I didn't make the list, I knew I wouldn't come!"

"Look, the top of the list is a person named Qin Feng, I haven't heard of such a number one person?"

"Hmph, I don't know what shit luck I hit!" Someone next to him said disdainfully.

People inside and outside surrounded the imperial list, hearing someone say that the top of the list was himself, Qin Feng also showed a surprised expression, he didn't expect that he could be at the top of the list, but in order to avoid duplicate names, Qin Feng also squeezed hard inside.

"Hmph, a bunch of ordinary people!" There was a sound in the carriage next to the crowd.

"What the young master said is, young master, you are not here, otherwise the top position on the list must be yours young master." The old man next to the car said. This old man was the person Qin Feng met at the inn before.

"If it weren't for my father saying that there would be a big opportunity in this imperial examination, Young Master Ben wouldn't have come to compete with this group of poor scholars for any champions." The young man thought for a while, and then said, "When the time comes, Young Master Ben will be selected by the immortals, and I, Zou Shuang'an, will also be an immortal." ”

"Young Master, you are gifted, you will definitely become an immortal!" The old man next to him echoed. After saying that, he drove away in the carriage.

After a while, Qin Feng squeezed in front of the crowd, looking at the posted emperor list, the top position of the list was his name, and Qin Feng's heart was finally relaxed. With a happy smile on his face, years of hard work in the cold window finally paid off at this moment.

Although he got the top position, the position of the champion is still unknown, and he will have to wait for a few days to take the palace exam, and the emperor will personally interview to determine the position of the champion.

Just as he was about to go back, Qin Feng heard someone say.

"Have you heard, this palace test, His Majesty seems to be summoning all the people on the emperor's list!"

"How is that possible? Didn't they always summon the top three in the past? Immediately, someone asked questions.

Qin Feng, who heard the news, was also very surprised. Although the Yongshun Dynasty is in the southernmost part of the Tianyuan Continent, it is also a larger dynasty in the Southern Regions, and I don't know how many people come to participate in the imperial examination every year, even if it is only to summon the people on the list, it is a big scene. Just listened to a joke, no matter what, he was already on the list. Thinking of this, Qin Feng returned to the inn with a smile.
