When Chen Shuzuo was looking for Ma Fu, Liu Qi came to the side house and was looking at several "competitors".

These people are all "celebrities" of Qingshui Pavilion.

Such as the son of the Fang clan of the Hao family, Wu Meng, who is known for his strength......

Among them, Liu Qi passed by, and on the way to the remote small case, they all smiled and saluted.

As the saying goes, stretching out your hand and not hitting the smiling person, except for Wu Meng, who closed his eyes and recuperated and was quite arrogant, the rest of the people also bowed their heads back.

Just after Liu Qifang sat down, Ma Fu and Chen Shuzuo arrived.

"Ma Gong!"

Everyone quickly got up and saluted, even Wu Meng, who seemed proud.

Ma Fu also did not hold himself old and prestigious, as if facing ordinary juniors, he praised these several Qingshui Pavilion Junjie.

Among them, his eyes were on Liu Qi and he stayed a lot.

Ma Fu touched his beard and said: "Your performance, Chen Shuzuo has already recorded, I can't hide it, the old man came out this time, but there are already candidates!" ”

Today's time, not yet half of the time, Ma Gong dared to assert that some of them can be competent!

Who is it?

Can he be praised by Ma Gong, who is famous in the countryside and deals with the county?

Except for Liu Qi, who was indifferent, the rest of you look at me, I look at you, and they are speechless.

In fact, at this time, Liu Qi's heart is not as calm as the surface.

After answering Shuzuo's question, he felt that this pavilion chief this time was none other than him!

If arithmetic, although the "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" written by Zhang Cang and Geng Shouchang has been out for a long time, ordinary Han people are scholars, and their ability to calculate silently is not his opponent.

Now, the highly respected Ma Jiatai has come out, and his certainty has reached ninety percent.

At the same time, Liu Qi felt that this time the county temple summoned each other, it was definitely not as simple as it seemed, it belonged to the head of this Qingshui Pavilion, and he was afraid that the responsibility would be heavy, and it would be reused.

Ma Fu didn't let a few people guess for a long time, he went straight to Liu Qi's side, and said with a smile: "Liu Qi, in my opinion, the ability and character are very good!" ”

"He's Liu Qi?"

Fang's son, whose name is true, and the word Ji Wen is the same as Ji Wen, exclaimed in his mouth.

Early this morning, at the place of the Qingshui Pavilion Market, there were rumors that Liu Qi sold his land and reported his kindness.

In the past, Liu Qi helped his neighbors, was willing to help, and did not abandon the reputation of his younger siblings, and he also heard about it, but in the past two years, he often went out to study, and he was only famous but did not meet.

This time, especially the moment before Liu Qi, it brought him good senses, and he had a good impression.

Now, Ma Fu bluntly said that the answer to the question, thinking that ability, Liu Qi is the best, let Fang Zhen take a higher look.

"It is rumored that this Liu son is not only of good character, but also that in the past years, the Bai family has worked hard, raised younger siblings, and often read with the moon at night, in order to be motivated.

The rumors are true, but in contrast, I have a bit of a wasted time. ”

After Fang Zhen said something about Ma Fu, his mind was full of thoughts, he didn't think he was old, he first saluted Ma Fu, and then bowed to Liu Qi, and said, "Congratulations!" I can solve the problem of Ma Gong with one step, and I am really ashamed to learn it in my chest!

This time to the county temple, and then the county has a call, and I hope to take care of it! ”

Fang Zhen is an open-minded person, and during his study abroad, he made friends and had a wide range of knowledge.

Entrusted by the local county order, coupled with the documents that came last night, Ma Fu had a higher standard for the selection of the pavilion chief this time.

Before Liu Qi, what he liked the most was Fang Zhen, who was twenty years old.

However, although Fang Zhen is a good person, he is inferior to Liu Qi in terms of practical problems and astronomical and geographical knowledge.

Ma Fu made up his mind this time to use only his talents, so he didn't take into account Liu Qi's age and publicized it. And it's really rare to be able to let him endorse it personally.

The people in the hall are so bad that they don't care about Ma Fu.

But Wu Meng, who has a solid family and a reckless temperament, did not understand this, and raised his head and questioned on the spot: "Ma Gong, please forgive me for being rude, this time the county temple ordered, the head of the Qing Shui Pavilion, should lead the hometown Yong, a total of hundreds of people, converge in the county temple, and then listen to the unified dispatch of the county to the front line to clear the Yellow Turban Army."

Therefore, the head of the Qingshui Pavilion not only bears the life of one person, but also the safety of the township party.

This man is young...... Even if the knowledge is higher than ours, the experience is insufficient, what is the use, when you can afford to take responsibility! ”

Ma Fu is an elder, and Wu Meng's words are already quite rude.

And Wu Meng is by no means a brave and unscrupulous person, when the words came to his lips, he focused on Liu Qi's "lack of experience", how he was inexperienced, but he did not say it.

However, at the same time, Ma Fu was famous for his fairness and strictness, and he could have refuted it, but he did not do so, but looked at Liu Qi.

Being young is Liu Qi's biggest shortcoming.

As he said, he has already made his attitude clear.

Now, if Liu Qi can't even surrender a fierce man like Wu Meng, how can he surrender to the land of Du Township, it is expected that there will be more than 300 villagers in the county ahead?

Wang Peng, the county commander, spoke to him alone the previous time, it was for the sake of friendship that he handed over this huge power to Ma Fu, plus Ma Fu's name in Du Township, which was enough to convince most people, far more appropriate than his county order.

For example, the Wu family and the Fang family are all large local households, and the information in them is more detailed than Liu Qi.

The head of the Qingshui Pavilion, the official position seems to be small, and he usually holds the security of a pavilion. But now, the general is the strength of hundreds of villagers in Du Township, and his authority has suddenly become much greater.

This is also why, that day Ma Fu proposed a candidate for the pavilion chief, and his son Ma Ji did not worry about no one to respond, and the focus was to choose the "virtuous one" to serve the public.

Ma Fu is not limited by age this time, but also to block Youyou's mouth, but he didn't expect to find Liu Qi, an "inconspicuous" genius.

His questions and answers are a bit tricky, but Liu Qi's insight is different from that of his age, which is enough to impress people.

Looking at the words and looks, Liu Qi has already seen what Ma Fu thinks.

He still maintained his appearance of neither humility nor arrogance, bowed to Ma Fu, and said to Wu Meng: "My feet think that I am incompetent, should I be young at a young age?" ”

Wu Meng wanted to say "yes", but then he straightened his chest, and said insincerely: "If it is not this, if you are the pavilion chief, if you encounter a thief, you should take the lead and kill the enemy!" ”

To others, it seems that he dislikes Liu Qi for being thin and weak, and it is difficult to kill the thief.

Liu Qi was sure in his heart, and muttered: "Archery is also a martial art, I don't know if I can compete with my feet?"

If I lose, it is not good at learning and I am incompetent, and I ask Ma Gong to take back what I have done, how about it?

Please Ma Gong again, and all the gentlemen to witness! ”

Liu Qi looked confident, and this time, Ma Fu was surprised.

This son is not unexpected, let's see!

"You're fighting me in archery?" Wu Meng's eyes widened and he looked at Liu Qi's thin arm again.

Is it a bluff?

Although his archery skills are average, looking at Liu Qi's appearance, how can he be his opponent!

I saw that under the arrangement of Ma Fu, in the outer courtyard of the Ma family, there were soon servants who brought bows and arrows, and some Ma's guests also appeared one after another to observe the competition.

"Zhou Li Baoshi": "Raising the son of the country with Taoism is the six arts of teaching: one is five rites, two is six music, three is five shots, four is five masters, five is six books, and six is nine numbers. ”

Archery is one of the six arts.

Woohoo!

Although Liu Qi's body was thin and weak, his arms had recovered a lot in the past two days, and he shot five arrows, and fifty steps away, he was hit by three arrows.

Wu Meng was only hit by one arrow.

Who wins and who loses, it is clear at a glance, and between the courtyards, no one dares to despise that figure anymore.

Wu Meng is also a bachelor, and he hugged his fists on the spot and said: "I lost, this pavilion chief, you deserve it!" ”
