Chapter 277 - Champion of the Literary Examination
Min'er held her head high and looked down at the night cat who was reporting to him.
The night cat was respectful as ever, and gave up: "Sister Min'er, there is already an answer!"
"Come in and talk. "There was a voice from the house.
Min'er opened the door, and the night cat followed, and saw that Liu Mapo was closing her eyes and recuperating.
Night Cat reported: "Master, Zhenxing and the powerful Zeng Shan came this time to take the exam, one article and one martial arts, as if they were bound to win!"
Liu Mapo opened her eyes and thought to herself: Participating in the exam is nothing more than wanting to see the Supreme, what is the purpose of seeing the Supreme?
After thinking about it, he turned his head and pointed at the night cat and ordered: "They want to take the exam? Could it really be to help Helian Junjie? Night cat, the purpose of their exam is to find out to me no matter what!"
"Yes!" the night cat ordered to leave.
Min'er stepped forward to pinch Liu Mapo's shoulder.
Liu Mapo closed her eyes.
"Sister, why don't you just kill the sixth master?" so that you won't be frightened!" Min'er was puzzled and asked curiously.
"I didn't kill him at the beginning, it was because I remembered that her mother had rescued me, and in the Imperial Garden, my face-covering silk scarf was blown away by the wind, and the three fathers-in-law saw my ugly appearance and laughed at me more than once. Bai Gardenia passed by and handed me the silk scarf in her hand without saying a word, and scolded the three fathers-in-law that people should not be good-looking, this is one of them, and the other is that he is Qingtong's brother. Liu Ma Po explained.
Min'er nodded after listening.
"If he becomes a stumbling block to the plan, then it must be removed, but where is he now? Instead of sending someone to investigate, it is better to take a look first, and then do it after being sure, it doesn't hurt to do it, as long as we are in the imperial city, measure him alone, isolated, and can't cause any trouble, of course, if there are gods to help, then ...... Then do what you have to do! He can't escape my palm. Liu Mapo said as she stretched out her palm, clenched her fists, and her eyes revealed a message: she was full of control over the situation, as if everything was under her control!
Indeed, it's all under her control for the time being!
Time is like sand between fingers, passing inadvertently.
August is quietly coming.
The Imperial City exam officially began, and the literary test and the martial arts test were scheduled on the same day, in different areas.
The examination is set in the city.
The martial arts test is set up in the suburbs.
Zeng Ying watched Zhenxing enter the examination room, and watched him walk into the door, and at this moment, a man in black with a hat and a face covered stood in front of Zeng Ying.
Zeng Ying sensed the danger and turned to escape, but as soon as she took a step, she was knocked unconscious by the masked man, who picked up Zeng Ying and disappeared into the crowd.
Zeng Ying slowly opened her eyes and found that she was tied up, struggling against the conditions, and looked up to see the masked man standing in front of her, and broke out in a cold sweat.
"You...... What do you want to do?" Zeng Ying asked in fear.
The masked man saw that Zeng Ying was so timid that he shrunk into a ball, gave him a reassurance, and said, "Don't worry, I won't want your life!"
"That'...... That...... What do you want to do?......" Zeng Ying said and suddenly sobbed, sobbing and threatening, "You...... You let me go quickly, or my eldest brother won't let you go!"
The masked man closed his eyes and took a deep breath, turned his back hand, turned his back to Zeng Ying, and said, "You can let it go, you have to answer my question first." ”
"What...... What's the question?" Zeng Ying still sobbed and mustered up the courage to ask.
"You are not from the Imperial City, why did you come to the Imperial City, did you want to do wrong?" the masked man scolded like a righteous person.
"No, no, we are good citizens, we will not plot against you, please raise your noble hand and let me go, a weak woman!" Zeng Ying pleaded with tears.
"No!" the masked man scolded, turned his head to look at Zeng Ying, and said, "You didn't answer my question, you want to leave?
"I ...... We really don't have any bad intentions! Our family just went to the imperial city to take the exam, my father-in-law took the literary exam, and my eldest brother took the samurai!" Zeng Ying cried as she spoke.
"Is that really the case?" the masked man pulled out a shiny knife and put it on Zeng Ying's neck in the blink of an eye.
Zeng Ying grew up in "Guanai Town" since she was a child, and the first time she went out, she was very scared when she encountered such a thing, crying with a sad face, and begging: "Don't kill me, our family is a good person!"
"Will the bad guy say he's a bad guy? Hurry up and get it, or my knife will have to see blood!" the masked man threatened.
Zeng Ying closed her eyes and summoned truthfully: "We are looking for a passage to Iceland, looking for a snow girl to save my second brother!"
"Save your second brother?" the masked man repeated, puzzled.
"Yes, my second brother's life can only be saved by the Snow Maiden or the Ice Bear Spirit...... Whining...... Don't kill me......"
With a "swish", the rope that tied Zeng Ying's hand was instantly broken.
The breeze blows on his face, and when he opens his eyes, he finds that the masked man has disappeared.
The masked man was the night cat, and after getting the exact answer, he went to his life.
After listening to the night cat's report in the backyard with Min'er, Liu Mapo thought about it and felt a little incredible, and said, "After checking for so long, it turned out to save her brother!"
The night cat replied: "Some time ago, in addition to watching Zhenxing read and write, I would also go to someone to inquire about some matters in North Iceland in my spare time. And in addition to chopping firewood and fighting rice, Na Zeng Shan will also inquire about such things in his spare time!"
"Northern Iceland is not a place where mortals can live!Night cat, thank you for your hard work!!" Min'er said and waved a hand.
The night cat respectfully stepped aside.
Convinced that they weren't there to help Helian Junjie, Yoo Mapo breathed a sigh of relief and threw herself into the game of power struggle.
Liu Mapo began to secretly use all the forces on the side for her child Helian Qingtong, she cooperated with Liang Fenghuang, controlled more than half of the civil officials, more than seventy percent of the military attachés, and also kept all the killers in captivity, and the "Liu Feng" was also well managed......
On the fifth day of the first month of August, the first test was released, and Zhenxing led Zeng Ying to the list, squeezed into the crowd and watched the word "Zhenxing" stand tall.
"Is there one?" Zeng Ying asked, looking at Zhen Xing.
A smile appeared on the corner of Zhen Xing's mouth, nodded, restrained the excitement in his heart, and replied, "Champion!"
"Great!" Zeng Ying jumped up excitedly, hugged Zhenxing's neck, and cheered!
"Go, go home, tell Big Brother to go. Zhenxing stretched out his hand and took Zeng Ying's hand and walked in the direction of home.
"Okay!" Zeng Ying smiled and nodded.
Zhenxing became the champion of the literary examination as he wished, but Zeng Shan was not so lucky.
Although he broke five levels and six generals on the day of the martial arts test, he successfully reached the finals!
There were 10 finalists. The way of drawing lots, two by two, eliminated one person, and finally left five people.
The five people who won the game eliminated the two again the next day, and the rule was to fight each other in a ten-meter-long and ten-meter-wide ring until they knocked down the two, and finally left the three to compete again to determine the champion, the leader, and the flower.
That day, in the ten-meter-long and wide square ring, five people were fighting brutally, and Zeng Shan was among them.
Zeng Shan, who successfully killed all the way, was a little proud, was calculated by the two, fell off the stage, and finally missed the front triangle, and all the hopes fell on Zhenxing, waiting for the list.
Zhenxing and Zeng Ying happily returned home.
"Coming, coming, I said they'll be back soon!hehe......" Zeng Shan shouted happily as he pointed to Zhenxing, who was walking towards the door.
"You're Zhenxing!?" the official asked.
Zhenxing raised his head and replied: "It's like a fake!"
"Give me the handprint!" said the official with his hands outstretched.
Zhenxing took out his handprint, put it in the palm of the official's hand, and said, "Give!"
After the official verification, he stretched out his hand, and the official who was standing aside holding his clothes stepped forward with a smile and said, "This is the champion suit! After changing, please get on the sedan chair and meet the Supreme!"
Zeng Ying stepped forward with a smile, stretched out her hand to take the champion suit, and said with a smile: "Okay! Thank you, Master!"
That's it for this chapter, and the next chapter continues!
