34, the government comes to the people (ask for collection, ask for reading)

"As for the township test in August, I won't participate in this year."

"Wait until the next township exam, and then take the test."

Wei Tu thought secretly.

In a short period of time, it is difficult for his health skills and Tiger Crane Twin Fist to make greater improvements and breakthroughs.

It's not the same as the Tao test.

Township martial arts is even more cruel, it not only has the reference of Wu Xiucai of Jinke, but also the reference of Wu Xiucai of previous years......

These older generation of martial artists, hidden dragons and crouching tigers, are not necessarily worse than some martial artists.

Even if Wei Tu participates in this township martial arts, it will be difficult to achieve a good ranking.

The ranking, related to the appointment of local military attachés.

There is only one chance.

But wait three years for another reference.

At that time, he had been practicing health preservation for five years, and he would inevitably enter the realm of emotion, and with the blessing of practicing martial arts inside, he was expected to win the top ten rankings in the township martial arts.

……

Five days later.

Qingfeng Province.

Inside Wugong Temple, in the school ring.

"Qingfeng Mansion Weitu."

"Tonglin Mansion Deng Sandao."

Wei Tu and the martial artist on the opposite side clasped their fists and saluted together, and said their names to each other.

After saluting, the two of them walked to the weapon rack next to them and chose the weapons they had in hand.

"What a fierce knife technique." Just as Deng Sandao took the nine-ring knife from the weapon rack, he saw Wei Tu striding forward and ramming towards him, like a fierce tiger sprinting in the mountains and forests.

As he sprinted, the three-foot-seven-inch black knife in his hand slashed into a sharp semicircle, slashing horizontally at his shin.

Seeing this, Deng Sandao's eyelids jumped slightly, and he hurriedly took two steps back, and after pulling away the distance, he blocked it with a knife.

The two bladeless knives slammed together in an instant.

Deng Sandao was shocked to the point that his right hand was numb, but he also took advantage of this strength, his body was short, and he rolled to the left side of Wei Tu, and the nine-ring knife in his arms stabbed upward, and the tip of the knife was facing the weak point of Wei Tu's left leg.

And yet—

Wei Tu seemed to have expected this, he did not dodge or dodge, a harrier turned over, soared into the air, and the knife technique changed another way, like a white crane dancing gracefully on the water.

The sword technique extended by the tiger and crane double-shaped fist not only has the swiftness of the tiger, but also the agility of the white crane.

After dozens of moves.

Deng Sandao was careless, did not react to the change in Wei Tu's knife technique, and was given a gap by Wei Tu and kicked off the stage.

"His knife skills have improved better than when he was in the county test and the government test."

Offstage, Wei Fei, who was in the same county as Wei Tu, saw this scene and frowned secretly, wondering if his guess in the county test was correct.

Two months of sword skills with such attainments, he was a little hard to believe.

……

Meanwhile.

On the other side.

On the high platform on the south side of the Wugong Academy, the purple-robed officials sitting in the middle of the group of scarlet-robed and green-robed officials saw the wonderful fight of the martial artists in the audience, smiled and nodded.

"In this year's Dao exam, the martial artists who participated in the martial arts examination were much stronger than the previous ones."

The purple-robed official sighed.

"This is all the credit of Wang Futai after you took office in Shannan Province, if it weren't for Wang Futai, you urged all prefectures and counties to select martial artists and focus on cultivating ......"

"Shannan Road is not as prosperous as today's martial arts."

The scarlet-robed official on the side touted.

Under the rule of Zheng Guo, there were two capitals and thirteen provinces.

Sannan Province is one of them.

And the "Wang Futai" in his mouth is the second-grade governor in charge of the military and politics of Shannan Province.

Rao is in Zheng State, and he is also a high-ranking person, a real important member of the imperial court.

"In my opinion, this credit can only be accounted for by the official, and the other seventy percent is the ...... of the Wuyun Building" Governor Wang glanced at the scarlet-robed official beside him, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said: "I heard that the few Wu Xiucai selected in the last Dao test were not appointed officials, but entered the Wuyun Building and became the disciples of the Wuyun Building?" ”

"Wuyunlou has a lot of deeds in Qingfeng Mansion, I wonder if the prefect can know about it?"

He asked.

"The matter...... The matter ...... The lower officials really don't know ......" He Zhifu heard Governor Wang's questioning, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he immediately shook his head and denied it.

In fact, as the prefect of Qingfeng Mansion, the capital of Shannan Province, he still knows a little about the "Wuyun Building".

It's just that the sect of Wuyunlou is not under the control of the government, and it accepts many martial artists......

Since ancient times.

Chivalry is forbidden by force.

The existence of Wuyunlou is a provocation and threat to the official government of Zheng Guo, if he answers that he knows Wuyunlou, it is to admit that he has poor jurisdiction over the territory and is suspected of dereliction of duty.

"Well, since the prefect doesn't know, then the official won't ask anymore." Governor Wang shook his head, and his eyes were on the ring of the school competition again.

"Xiaguan has a way, you can find out a little bit of information about Wuyunlou......" Hearing Governor Wang's words, He Zhifu's heart suddenly tightened, so he hurriedly added this sentence.

"How?"

Governor Wang squinted his eyes and looked at He Zhifu - he was burly, with a Chinese face, a short beard under his chin, and he had also practiced martial arts.

"Since this Wuyunlou likes to invite previous Wuxiucai to join their sect, then we can also use heavy profits to tempt Wu Xiucai with good qualifications and let them join Wuyunlou...... Inquire for us ...... information."

"Martial artists are loyal and patriotic, they should know how to choose ......"

He Zhifu pondered for a moment and said.

Loyalty and patriotism are the great righteousness, and there is also the temptation of official position, fame and fortune, he doesn't believe that these martial artists will choose to betray the government and plunge into the organization of Wuyunlou.

"It's a good idea." Governor Wang bowed slightly, stroked his short hair, and agreed with He Zhifu's words.

The Jianghu sect has always been a problem for the henchmen of the imperial court, if he can eradicate the martial arts faction Wuyunlou that has been entrenched in Shannan Province for many years, this can also be regarded as a political achievement for him for Guanshan South Province.

……

After participating in the Dao test competition, Wei Tu returned to his home and waited for the release of the Wugong Academy.

He is confident in his martial arts results this time, and thinks that even if he can't enter the top ten in this Dao test martial arts and become a first-class martial artist, he can at least become a second-class martial artist.

After all, when he took the exam in Qingfeng Mansion, he ranked seventh in martial arts.

Qingfeng Mansion is the capital of Shannan Province, and it is a place where elites gather, whether it is a literary or martial arts, the number and quality of talents produced by Qingfeng Mansion in each province are first-class.

The leader of the Dao test martial arts has been re-elected by the martial artists of Qingfeng Mansion for three consecutive years.

"Brother Wei'er, the officials and officials from the government are coming, waiting in the living room, and they want to take you to the government office......"

On the last day of the list, in the evening, Shan Yangong knocked on the door of Weitu's room, and said with an anxious expression.

Since ancient times.

The people are afraid of officials.

The eight-character yamen opened to the south, and there was reason and no money to touch in.

If you are reasonable, you have to be afraid.

What's more, Weitu is "unreasonable" and not clean under his buttocks.

This time, Wei Tu was summoned by the officials of the government office...... Let me go to the government office...... There is a high probability that it is not a good thing......

Shan Yangong was worried that this time it was not Wei Tu's cheating in the county that the incident occurred, which led to the government government sending people to Shan Mansion to ask people for "interrogation".
