Chapter Twenty-Three: Su Lin

"Isn't the county lord going to rest for a while?"

Speaking of climbing the mountain for so long and standing for all these times, Liu Wuchang felt a little tired, but this county lord seemed to be fine.

Shangguan Li shook his head and kept looking at the field.

She had to know what those people were trying to do now.

At the top of the list, killing.

But the Taiyuan Courtyard is tightly guarded, and there are forbidden guards sent by the emperor outside the courtyard, so they want to kill people and escape in full view of everyone? It's pretty much the same for her.

What's more, Feng Sichen and Shangguan Xun both knew that she was not easy to mess with, whether it was assassination or poisoning, it was not easy to do it in front of her.

Excluding this, plus it is in the special place of Taichenyuan, in fact, there is only one possibility left.

Shangguan Li narrowed his eyes and looked at the field.

Before the exam officially began, two scholar-like people were handing out the test papers in the order of the grades.

Suddenly, Shangguan Li's eyes froze slightly, and fell on one of them.

The sky became more and more gloomy, and the people waiting outside the venue were also infected by this somewhat oppressive atmosphere and fell into silent silence.

"Bang-"

The silence was broken by the crisp sound of a gong.

"When the time comes, the exam starts ......"

"Wait!"

The young examiner on the stage probably never thought that someone would interrupt him at such a time, and he was directly stunned.

"Shire, county lord?" Liu Wuchang looked at Shangguan Li blankly.

Shangguan Li ignored him, and slowly walked into the examination room in full view of everyone, her movements were so natural that she seemed to be going back to her own home, and even the guards forgot to stop her.

It wasn't until she took a few steps inside that the young examiner reacted.

"Trespassing on the examination room is a capital offense! Guards, don't get her up yet! ”

Shangguan Li didn't dodge or dodge, and let those guards raise their arms, but their voices were neither humble nor arrogant.

"Taichen Academy is the number one university in the world, if there is any unfairness in the exam, won't it make the world laugh?"

After speaking, she first threw a reassuring look at the worried group.

The young examiner was already so angry that his lips were trembling, and he pointed at Shangguan Li and said angrily.

"Hugh wants to ruin the reputation of my Taichen Academy!"

Shangguan Li was about to speak, but another somewhat old voice came from the stage.

"Just let her talk about it, Qingyu is a thing, and it can't be convincing by roaring."

The old man straightened up, and even stretched.

It turned out that he had been sleeping under the desk just now, so no one noticed him.

Such an old and unscrupulous one, but when the young examiner saw him, the anger on his face disappeared without a trace, but he behaved very respectfully, bent down and saluted.

"Since Master Duan said so, the younger generation obeyed the order."

The speed of changing his face is not much faster than that of Shangguan Yue.

Shangguan Li resisted the urge to complain and said coldly: "Can you let me go?" ”

"Let go of her, let go of her!"

The young examiner waved his hand, as if the words just now were all passing by.

"This female doll said that the exam was unfair, but there is a basis?" It was Master Duan who spoke.

Shangguan Li smiled confidently and pointed to an ordinary-looking scholar in the corner of the courtyard.

"He's not from Taichenin!"

As soon as the voice fell, the audience was in an uproar.

As everyone knows, the exams of the Taiyuan Academy are supervised by the academy, and except for the guards, the other people are all members of the Taichen Academy, and no one else will be allowed to interfere.

In order to avoid the situation of fake public and private interests

And the person Shangguan Li refers to, everyone still has the impression that he is one of the two people who were in charge of distributing the exam papers just now!

If this person is not from the academy, then what is it?

But the person who was pointed at was at a loss, and seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on him, he hurriedly waved his hand.

"This girl must have made a mistake, Xiaosheng Su Lin is the 123rd student of Taichen Academy, and it has been three years since she was admitted to the hospital."

"One hundred and twenty-three?" The young examiner frowned, and suddenly saw Liu Wuchang outside the courtyard, and greeted.

"Little Yanagiko, come!"

Can you not call me that in public? Liu Wuchang couldn't say what he was suffering from, so he had to walk to Shangguan Li's side according to his words.

"Aren't you from that class too? Come and see, familiar is not familiar. ”

Su Lin had also walked into the middle of the field and showed Liu Wuchang generously.

After a while, Liu Wuchang nodded.

"It's Su Lin, and we've said a few words."

The young examiner moved his gaze to Shangguan Li again, who was still calm and relaxed, and did not have the embarrassment of having his lies exposed.

He couldn't figure it out, so he asked in a thoughtful tone, "What else does the girl have to say?" ”

What is the statement? One thing to say, Shangguan Li can only say that these people may have made a lot of money in order to make her unsatisfactory.

She spoke lightly.

"I've seen soldiers returning from the border."

The topic he said seemed to have nothing to do with the current matter, but Shangguan Li, who had been looking at Su Lin, did not miss the panic that flashed in his eyes.

She continued: "The soldier holds a knife all year round, travels dozens of miles a day, and his hands and feet are full of calluses. Always on guard, and the walking posture is also slightly leaning forward, in case an enemy suddenly appears too late to react. ”

In fact, there is more to it than that, a person who has been on the verge of life and death all the year round, whether it is temperament, eyes, or subtle small movements, is very different from ordinary people.

These anomalies are difficult for ordinary people to notice, especially if they have been deliberately disguised.

But in the eyes of the same kind, especially in front of Shangguan Li, it is as conspicuous as mouse feces in a pot of clear soup.

The young examiner pondered for a moment, knowing what Shangguan Li meant, and said to Liu Wuchang.

"Lift his sleeve and take a look."

Then without waiting for Su Lin to say anything, he first smiled and apologized.

"Senior Brother Su, this is all to prove your innocence, after today, you can pick up this dress of Senior Brother! You suffer a little grievance first. ”

These words were seamless, and Shangguan Li couldn't help but glance at this young examiner who was still a little babbling before.

It seems that the position of the examiner is not light.

He said it all, and Su Lin couldn't refuse.

Liu Wuchang lifted his sleeves and spread his hands in front of everyone.

"Wow, there really is!"

The crowd exclaimed.

The hands that should have been smooth were covered with thick calluses, especially in the position of the tiger's mouth, I don't know how much skin has been shed, and at first glance it looks like a person who holds a knife all year round.

The young examiner's face also became solemn, and he looked at Su Lin and asked.

"Senior Brother Su, can you explain what this is all about?"

Su Lin's face did not change, and he replied lightly: "It's just because I like to practice martial arts, and I often do some rough work, the first emperor became a martial artist, who can say that a scholar can't dance a knife and a gun?" ”

Although this statement is high-sounding, it is not tenable at all when examined in detail.

This is Taichen Academy, the daily classes are already full, where does he have the time to do what he calls "dancing knives and guns"?

It's just that this incident alone is really not enough to prove that he is not from Taichen Academy, after all, there are classmates as proof.

"Bang Bangβ€”"

The sound of clapping.

Everyone looked at the source of the sound, Shangguan Li.
