Twelve hurriedly said to the city lord, "City lord, I ...... I think...... I want to cancel my name......"

The city lord looked at Twelve, his brows furrowed, his eyes staring straight at him, and he was chilled at the sight. Then he said unhurriedly: "The names are all reported, why cancel it." What is your name? As he spoke, he motioned for one of his attendants to take out the roster.

The attendant took out a roster in his arms and gave it to the city lord, the city lord opened it and looked at it, his face suddenly darkened, and he shouted: "Idiot, this is the registration book for the martial arts exam, is there anyone in Shizhu City who has registered for the martial arts exam?" It's all blank here, what are you showing me? Don't let you take the martial arts exam registration booklet with you, because no one will apply for the martial arts exam, you just don't listen to it, and you still carry it with you all day long...... Take out the application book for the essay exam! The entourage was scolded so much that the city lord directly threw the blank martial arts test registration book on the ground.

Seeing this, Twelve suddenly had a flash of inspiration, calculated his heart, and thought in his heart: When the city lord held a meeting just now, he said that only the first place will be sent to the capital for the exam, and the exam is divided into two forms: the literary test and the martial arts test, that is to say, there can be two first places in the literary test and the martial arts test, and I must not be able to take the first place in the literary test, but I can take the first place in the martial arts test. You can leave Shizhu City, go to the capital first, and then explore the rivers and lakes......

Thinking of this, Twelve began to admire that he had such a brilliant mind.

The attendant took out another roster in his bosom and handed it to the city lord, who flipped through the roster and said, "Since you have registered, you haven't seen it and come to cancel it, let me ask you what is your name?" Haven't told me yet? ”

Twelve: "My name is Twelve." ”

The city lord said: "Twelve? It's a good name, it's simple, and it's easy to remember. ”

He laughed again. Twelve thought to himself: This city lord's temper is really unpredictable, and he just angrily reprimanded his followers, and now he laughs again.

The city lord continued: "Why cancel it? ”

Twelve replied, "I...... I'm not trying to cancel, I'm signing up for the wrong time, I'm trying to ...... I wanted to apply for the martial arts test, but I got a written test. ”

The city lord said: "Oh, it turns out that you want to apply for the martial arts test." ”

Twelve was secretly happy in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Yes, I wanted to sign up for the martial arts test, but I didn't expect to get the essay test......"

The city lord suddenly became very surprised, as if he hadn't listened carefully to the speech of the twelve places just now, and said, "Martial Test! Are you sure you want to sign up for the martial arts exam? I haven't heard this for many years, and we in Shizhu City really haven't come to sign up for the martial arts test. Do you know what to test in the martial arts exam? ”

Twelve didn't know what to take in the martial arts exam, but he was afraid that the city lord wouldn't let him sign up, so he hurriedly lied and said, "I know, I know ......."

The city lord said: "It's good to know." Then he said to the attendant, "Bring me the registration book for the martial arts exam." ”

The attendant listened to the city lord's words and took the city lord's hand Chinese test registration book with both hands. He also handed over the martial arts test registration book that he had just picked up on the ground to the city lord.

After the city lord took the registration book, he said: "You are the only candidate in Shizhu City who has registered for the martial arts exam, you don't need to take the exam in the city, you just wait for the first day of the next month to go to the capital to take the final exam." He asked his attendant to bring a brush, and he wrote the name of Twelve on the registration book for the martial arts examination.

Seeing that he had changed so smoothly, Twelve was overjoyed, thinking that he could finally leave Shizhu City this time. Then the city lord left with his entourage, and the city lord laughed and whispered in his mouth: "Twelve, twelve, this name is good......

Twelve returned home, Yueying asked him what he talked about today, Twelve told her what had just happened one by one, when Yueying heard him say that it was changed to the martial arts test, and said: "Just because you feel that you can't get the first place in the martial arts test, can you take the first place in the martial arts test?" ”

Twelve smiled and said: "I am the only one who has registered for the martial arts exam, and the city lord said, let me directly prepare for the exam to go to the capital on the first day of the next month." ”

Yueying said: "Even if you go to the capital, you won't be able to get the first place, do you know how difficult the martial arts test is?" ”

Twelve: "It's okay if you can't pass the test, it's good to go outside and see a different scenery." ”

Yue Ying said: "Did the city lord tell you what knowledge to test in the martial arts exam?" ”

Twelve Dao: "The city lord didn't tell me, but I think the martial arts test will probably be a test and a fight, defeat all the candidates, and the one who wins will be the first place." ”

When Yueying heard this, she couldn't help but smile and said: "When I was a child, I heard my aunt say that the martial arts test is a martial arts exam, and the exam is divided into internal and outfield. The outfield test races, dancing knives, and stone-cutting, and the infield silently wrote "The Art of War in the Past". "The Art of War" is a re-written art of war suitable for the cat clan to lead troops to fight according to the human "Art of War", "Sun Bin Art of War", "Wu Zi", "Liutao", "Wei Xuanzi", "Sima Law" and other military books when Fei led the soldiers to revolt in the past, combined with the battle situation of the cat clan......"

Twelve Dao: "There are so many contents to be tested in the martial arts test?" ”

Yueying said: "Yes, so ...... It's hard to get the first place. Comparatively speaking, the essay exam is easier to take. ”

Twelve thought to himself: "Anyway, it's not my purpose to take the first place in the exam, my purpose is to leave Shizhu City and go to the rivers and lakes......"

Yueying said: "There is still a month to go, this month, you have to train the content of the exam every day, and I will borrow you a copy of "The Art of War in the Past" tomorrow and teach you sentence by sentence." ”

Twelve thought to himself: "Didn't I hurt myself, I have to train for a month, and I want to cry without tears." ”

The next day, when the morning light was slightly dew, Twelve was woken up by his mother to practice running. Just after the run, let him train the stone. In the afternoon, Yueying borrowed a copy of "The Art of War", and she read it to Twelve sentence by sentence.

That night, Onishi came to the Twelve's house, and after seeing Twelve, Onishi said, "Twelve, why didn't you go to the exam today?" ”

Twelve: "I changed the martial arts exam, and I will go directly to the capital on the first day of the next month." ”

Onishi was very surprised and said, "Martial arts test? Twelve, you're so powerful......"

Twelve shook his head slightly, turned to Onishi and asked, "Onishi, how did you do in the exam today?" ”

Onishi sighed softly and said, "I don't know a word, so I handed in the exam papers without answering a single question." ”

Twelve: "If I go to the exam, I may also hand in the exam paper without writing anything like you......"

They didn't talk much, and Onishi went home.

During the period when he was preparing to go to the capital for the exam, in addition to not finding a master to learn the sword dance, Twelve repeated the hard training of running and stone digging every day, as well as reciting the "Art of War in the Past".
