The next day was still bright, the rooster in the village had just crowed, and Yang Li, who had stayed up all night, was ready to go out to the county seat. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Come on, brother!"

Yang Yu also had dark circles under her eyes, and she didn't fall asleep when she watched her brother toss for a night last night.

Bidding farewell to his sister Yuyi, Yang Li hurried out of the village. But he didn't go far before three figures appeared in front of him.

"Hey, isn't this Zhang Hu, Wang Li and Sun Changpeng from the same village?"

These three people are also from Tuqiao Village, and they are studying in the Elemental Academy like Yang Li in the past, and they all know each other well. It's just that they are one year older than Yang Li, and they have been cultivating in the academy for two years, and today they don't need to guess to know that they are going to participate in the selection and assessment of the Yuan Controller.

"Hey, you wait for me!" Yang Li trotted to catch up, he just didn't know where this year's assessment location was, so it was better to follow them, so that he could save the effort of inquiring about the location of the examination room.

"Yang Li, why did you go out so early?" Zhang Hu and the others turned their heads when they heard this, and their faces couldn't help but show a little surprise.

Yang Li looked at the faces of Zhang Hu and the others, and knew it in his heart, but he still replied with a relaxed appearance: "Alas, I was expelled from the school, so I had to go to the county seat to find some work to do and see where I could earn some money to spend." ”

When Zhang Hu heard this, he immediately smiled quite proudly, and although the other two didn't laugh on the surface, they also couldn't help laughing.

Yes, Yang Li has been expelled from the academy and can't finish his studies smoothly, and it will be a problem to even eat enough in the future. But a few of them, even if they can't pass the assessment to become the master of the element, as long as they can graduate from the academy, it is still very simple to find a decent job.

Zhang Hu has the most solid family background and the best grades among several people; Sun Changpeng is the second, his family has a lot of books, and he likes to read books since he was a child; Wu Li is the second, but he is slightly better than Yang Li's family.

So every time they saw Yang Li, they would feel extra comfortable.

What's more, this time, I heard the news that Yang Li was expelled from the academy yesterday?

"Yang Li, don't go to the county seat to look for work, you will be able to mix directly with our Brother Tiger in the future! Do you know how many names our Brother Tiger ranked in the latest mock test of the academy?" Wu Li suddenly said mysteriously.

"How much?"

Yang Li blinked, looking quite curious about this.

"Twenty-seven!"

Wu Li's face was pale, as if he had taken the test by himself, and then he was afraid that Yang Li would not understand and explained: "Do you know how many places we have in Muyuan County that pass the selection and assessment of the Yuan Controller every year?"

"Thirty!"

"This means that as long as there are no accidents, Brother Hu will be able to successfully pass the assessment this time and become the first Yuan controller in our Tuqiao Village!"

"It's amazing!" Yang Li's tone sounded sincere admiration.

"Of course, Brother Tiger will be developed in the future, don't forget about us fellow villagers!" Sun Changpeng also said.

After Zhang Hu walked aside and heard these conversations, he immediately became even more complacent, not only did he raise his head a little higher, but even his steps became much brisker.

Several people said that their interest became higher and higher, and Zhang Hu even hinted that he wanted to marry Yang Yuyi and form a family with Yang Li. Yang Li could only pretend not to understand this, and talked about it left and right, and finally fooled it.

Two hours later, the group finally arrived at the gate of the county seat.

Although Muyuan County is small, because it is located on the border of the Yun Country and adjacent to the territory of the wolf barbarians, the city wall is also five or six zhang high. The gates are made of iron-clad optimus wood, which is particularly sturdy and thick.

It is said that in the early days of the establishment of the Cloud Kingdom, dozens of elementals who worked for the country worked together to exert the power of the elements.

Below the city gate, there are two rows of government soldiers subordinate to the county guard, who are searching passers-by, and only those who are above the identity of the controller can show their tokens and be exempted from the search.

Yang Li and the others honestly lined up at the end, and then watched the team slowly squirm forward like a long snake.

In the past inspections, for Yang Li, a hillbilly who didn't have much oil and water, most of the gatekeepers only took a symbolic look and finished the job. But now they are treating everyone equally, carefully searching everyone's whole body and the baggage they carry.

After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, it was finally Yang Li's turn.

"Two dry food cakes. ”

"Fill a water hyacinth. ”

"A piece of gray-black ore, weighing about half a catty. ”

"A coarse cloth bag. ”

A soldier looked blankly at the table checking the contents of Yang Li's baggage, while the clerk sitting at the table next to him registered the information one by one on the book.

Once all of this is checked, the next step is to check your identity.

"Where are you from, what's your name?"

Yang Li walked further inside, and was stopped by the soldier next to him in front of the second wooden table, and the other official sitting behind the table asked without raising his head.

"Tuqiao Village, Yang Li. ”

When the officials heard this, they immediately found the one labeled Tuqiao Village from the pile of rosters next to them, and then turned to the page with Yang Li's portrait and began to compare them carefully.

"Check passed, next. ”

It took nearly half an hour for Yang Li to successfully pass through the city gate and enter the interior of the county.

Although Zhang Hu and the others passed the inspection first, they left without waiting for him, and Yang Li had to go to the martial arts arena in Muyuan County alone.

Ten minutes later, Yang Li came to the vicinity of the martial arts arena.

As the selection and assessment site of this Yuan Controller, the martial arts arena has been temporarily transformed into an examination room. And from the entrance, five more lines were lined up, like a long snake winding, extending hundreds of meters away.

A white cordon was drawn within 20 meters around the examination room, and no one dared to approach it. At the entrance of the examination room, next to the queue of candidates, there were many soldiers armed with spears to maintain order.

The spears are like a forest, and the atmosphere of slaughter is very strong, and all the candidates dare not make loud noises, at most they only talk quietly with friends they know nearby. These candidates are all students from the Elemental Academy who have been in the Element Academy for two years, but because they are one level higher, Yang Li doesn't know a few.

Yang Li did not immediately go to the queue, but looked around, looking for Wang Chengde.

The Yuan Controller assessment must be a formal student of the Elemental Academy to participate, and in order to prevent him from being unable to enter the examination room, he must first use his influence. Fortunately, Wang Chengde deserved to be the focus of this assessment, no matter where he went, it was very eye-catching, Yang Li quickly found out his location, and then walked up quickly.

"Hey, Brother Yang, have you already made your choice?"

Seeing Yang Li coming from a distance, Wang Chengde suddenly felt happy in his heart, and hurriedly withdrew the others and others, and came to greet him with a smile on his face.

"Yes, I've figured it out. Yang Li nodded, also smiling, "I plan to participate in this year's Yuan Controller Selection Assessment first, if I unfortunately fail, I will completely die of this heart, and I will borrow the thirty taels of silver from Brother Wang." ”

"Oh, but with your current condition, I'm afraid you won't be able to participate in this assessment, right?" Wang Chengde was a little surprised, after all, in his impression, Yang Li's elemental ability had no possibility of achieving any results at all.

Even if Yang Li can participate in the assessment, this move is a complete waste of time.

"Although I was expelled from the school, I didn't complete the procedures for withdrawing from school! As long as Brother Wang explained a few words to the person in charge, wouldn't this little thing be easy? Brother Wang wouldn't even refuse to help me with this little favor, right?"

Seeing Yang Li, who has always been wooden, smiling like a flower, Wang Chengde couldn't help but feel a burst of disdain in his heart: It seems that no matter how stupid a person is, when he encounters the pressure of survival, he will have to make some changes!

But in any case, a guy who usually has an extremely cold attitude suddenly becomes so enthusiastic about himself, and the sense of accomplishment that brings Wang Chengde is indeed quite strong.

"Brother Yang said this, what is the relationship between the two of us, and you still need to be so polite?"

Wang Chengde also smiled: "Your business, that's my business! I'll go and say hello to the person who verifies my identity later, you can go in with confidence! If you can get a good score in the exam at that time, it will save us a lot of trouble, right?"

"Then thank you Brother Wang!

Yang Li thanked him again and again, and after this matter was settled, the next thing was to wait for the assessment to officially begin.
