At the same time, in the big tent outside Qingshan Town.

A pair of sand tables had been placed on the mahogany table, and the invigilator Shen Chunzheng was adjusting the deployment of the flags on the plate according to the information that was constantly coming from the town.

"I saw the commotion on the other side, did something happen?" With a thick question, Ba Xingtian and the short Inspector walked into the account - the two of them would come to inspect every afternoon these days, and they never arranged for their subordinates to report, Shen Chun had long been accustomed to it. He was about to salute in reply, but was stopped by a large hand.

Ba Xingtian looked at the sand table for a while, and then said "Oh" with interest, "Where did they find out?"

"Back to my lord, exactly. ”

"Yes, it's only the fifth day, nearly two days faster than the one twelve years ago. The town guard approving.

"Why twelve years ago?" the other asked, "There is only one round of the Shikou examination every three years, and even if the situation of the Tilting Mountain Formation is special, it should be once every six years." ”

Although he already knew that his boss was particularly tolerant of this young man, considering the grade gap between the two, the other party's uprightness and casualness still made Shen Chun secretly speechless. It's just that he also wants to know the answer to this question, so he continues to fiddle with his sand table as if nothing happened.

"Because the pass rate was so low that I had to stop again. ”

"The pass rate is too low?"

"I don't have a good memory, it should be more than 140 people to refer to, and in the end, only nine people passed. Ba Xingtian smiled, "It took a lot of effort for the Privy Council to keep the overall admission rate at about fifty percent. ”

Shen Chun couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, it was the first time he had heard of this insider. This means that the pass rate of other test rooms has been greatly improved, which is a disguised cheaper for those who are not in the mountains. Thinking about it this way, he himself seems to be a qualified person twelve years ago, it can't be because he borrowed the light of this place, right?

"Isn't that fair?" the short man questioned.

"How can the taxi examination room be the same according to local conditions?" Ba Xingtian shook his head, "If there is difficulty, there will naturally be easy." Of course, the prefecture will also take this into account when assigning duties, and the starting point of the monks who come out of the Fallen Mountain Formation will be a cut higher than that of other places. ”

"Oh? That's a solution. ”

"In addition, the low pass rate is not the only reason for the suspension here. In fact, unnecessary losses are another key. Ba Xingtian touched his beard and seemed to sigh with emotion, "That year, a total of more than 30 candidates lost here, which is beyond the normal range. In other examination rooms, they may all be able to become excellent alchemists, which is the fault of the Privy Council. Of course, there will be no repeat of the same mistakes this year. ”

More than 30 ...... Shen Chun's heart jumped, after so many years, is the night of the Great Wilderness of the Mountains still so threatening? No wonder the Privy Council will lay so many magic stakes in the town, and it is estimated that the suspension six years ago was also to test the effect, and it was reactivated after making sure that nothing was lost.

"How many people do you speculate will be qualified this time?" the short man looked at Shen Chun.

"It depends on how many hideouts they can find. He quickly replied, "Some of the bans will dissipate over time, and the longer you hold on, the better the chances." According to the plan, if all the places are utilized, the number of qualified people can be guaranteed to be 100 people. Considering that it is impossible for all locations to be found by candidates, the final result should be around seventy or eighty. ”

"It seems that our work has not been in vain. Ba Xingtian touched his beard with satisfaction, "One of the main reasons for the problems in the last session was the lack of guidance, and most of the candidates did not realize the existence of the Great Wilderness Night until the last night, and there were many situations in the panic. ”

"Your Excellency is right. Shen Chun naturally knew that the town guard was talking about those people in the government who pretended to be townspeople and traded information with candidates - they could not only influence the direction of the exam, but also obtain first-hand information in the town to provide a basis for the examiner's scoring. "This kind of examination room is also closer to the real environment, and the presenter is undoubtedly a genius. ”

"There's still something odd about it, though. Ba Xingtian pointed to the position of the broken bridge in the sand table, "The amount of information obtained by each candidate or group should be different, but how can these people's actions seem to be known?"

"According to my subordinates, Luo Jialuo gently took the initiative to tell all the candidates what he had found. Shen Chun took out a note and handed it to the town guard, "Not only that, but now their evacuation is also organized by Luo lightly." ”

"And what's the matter?" the latter glanced at it quickly, then looked up and laughed, "The afterlife is terrifying! she already thinks of herself as a priest of the Privy Council, and is dealing with the evil events in the local area!"

"That's right, this man must have a bright future. Shen Chun also showed a smile of pity, "In this taxi examination, she is the first place nine times out of ten." ”

The inspector didn't laugh, he took the note and looked at it silently for a while, "Luo's ......?"

"What, not satisfied?" said Ba Xingtian, "It's been a long time since I've seen a little girl with such strong mobility. There is no shortage of people in the Privy Council who are proficient in magic and powerful in battle, but there is a lack of people who take the lead in planning. If she goes to Gyeonggi, I can guarantee that it will attract scramble. You have to think about it, there are not many opportunities to be close to the water. ”

Consider...... What are you thinking about? What the hell is Lord Zhen Shou talking about? Shen Chun faintly sensed that something was wrong, why did his immediate boss say such a thing to an inspector who was much lower than him?

"But the words of the disciple of the family ......" The short man put down the note, picked up the roster on the table again, and looked at it again—this time, he simply skipped the first dozen pages, starting from the scattered part. "Shen invigilator, Ma Ruxue...... What do you think of this man?"

"I am very skilled in inquiring for clues, and the level of magic is unknown, and judging from the current performance, it is very likely that I will choose to quit. Shen Chun replied while quietly looking at the other party. He could tell that the Ombudsman seemed to be quite prejudiced against the children of the family, and seemed to prefer Sanmen. But the problem is that these families have grown up by relying on the Privy Council, and they are far from the real family lords, and as an official in the palace, his attitude is really strange.

After the other party asked several people in a row, he suddenly said "huh" softly.

"Didn't you say this guy was going to be eliminated soon? Why is he still in town...... And not only has the silver money multiplied several times, but even the source of spiritual fire has been obtained?"

Shen Chun squinted and found that the person the short man was referring to was Xia Fan.

"This person is really lucky, according to the summary of the news, he raised a lot of silver from the eliminated candidates, and survived the crisis of being out of the early stage. As for the bottle of spiritual fire, it is still unclear how he obtained it. But...... Aside from luck, he didn't have much to show for it. ”

"You're not optimistic that he will be able to pass the test?"

"Yes. A big indicator in the exam is negotiation ability, and the only one who is closer to him is only one fellow countryman. The fewer people there are, the less resilient they are. Especially for high-risk events like the Great Wilderness Night, the chances of a person surviving it are slim. Of course, there is also a high possibility that he will drop out along with other candidates, which is also a wise choice. ”

Speaking of this, Shen Chun sighed secretly in his heart, I have to say that this candidate named Xia Fan is really a little weird, when he only had five taels of silver in the front, he spent money like flowing water, and when he got to more than twenty taels in the back, he became cautious. If you spill this money and attract more candidates to form a team, the ranking will not be what it is now.

The short man flipped a few more pages and eventually lost his patience. He threw the roster back on the table and patted the silver mask on his face, "The family is the family...... It's better than nothing. ”

For some reason, Shen Chun actually felt a sense of relief.

Suddenly, the other party propped up the table with both hands, leaned forward sharply and said, "By the way, I almost forgot to ask you-Shen Invigilator, have you found any signs of someone who might be a listener these days?"

Shen Chun couldn't help but take a step back, "No...... Of course not, if the lower officials find clues, they will definitely report it to the two supervisors as soon as possible!"

"Ah, is it?" the short man withdrew his hand as if in a hurry, and said to the overlord, "Lord Ba, I have no other problems. ”

The latter nodded, and walked out of the big tent side by side with him, leaving only the inexplicable invigilator in the account.

Shen Chun couldn't figure out for a long time, why when the other party asked those words, the tone was not a reminder or warning, but a little ...... Expect?

......

"Senior sister, this is the list to be evacuated tomorrow, and I filled it out in the order they reported it. ”

Luo Youer placed a piece of paper full of names on Luo Qing's desk.

"It's hard work, remember to let them leave the town in this order early tomorrow morning. The most important thing about this kind of thing—"

"It's order, I won't forget it. Luo You'er interrupted her, "You've said it many times. ”

"That's fine. Luo said softly helplessly.

"Then if you continue to be busy, I won't bother you. The younger sister smiled and left the bedroom.

She rubbed the corners of her slightly sore eyes, got up and lengthened the wick, and the fire in the room suddenly became much larger, and it was already pitch black outside the window.

Today, the assembly of the wooden kite is not smooth, probably because the storage time is too long, and there are several problems in the skeleton, but it has not affected its use. For the sake of safety, she decided to postpone the release date until tomorrow morning, as long as there was no strong wind and rain, it would not be difficult to fly with people and ropes over the distance of less than five feet.

Of course, flying over is the beginning. In order to send so many candidates out of the town, a few wooden kites alone are definitely not enough, they have to make a simple "bridge" with hemp rope by themselves. This kind of rope bridge certainly can't hold much weight, so every time you board the bridge, you have to keep it under control, and there are also time issues and accidents...... It can be said that the planning, preparation and execution required for this operation are completely different from those of the past.

As the initiator, she must not make any mistakes.

Looks like I'm going to have a sleepless night today.

Lo smiled bitterly, but then felt a little relieved - at least tonight she didn't have to worry about being sneaked into the bedroom after she was asleep.

To be honest, when she found out that her room had been invaded in the morning, her heart felt like she was falling into an ice cave.

Luckily, the infiltrator didn't really do anything to her, otherwise she wouldn't have known what to do.

This also made Luo Qing involuntarily appear in his mind as long as he closed his eyes for a while.

She knew that this was a remnant of an impression, and she could only rely on her brain to slowly forget it, and it might be easier not to sleep tonight.

When the man evacuated Qingshan Town and the exam continued, the matter might be over. As for the future, Luo Qing is not worried - she doesn't think that she and the other party will cross paths again.

Just then, there was a knock on the door outside.

"What's the matter?" she said back to her seat.

"Someone wants to see you. Luo Youer probed in and said.

"Didn't I say that whoever comes to the door will let them go to Senior Brother Luo Fengqing?" Luo frowned slightly.

The junior sister showed a look of embarrassment, "This person is quite special, and he said that he just wants to talk to you." ”

"Who?"

"Xia Fan. Luo Youer said.
