The state examination, for every scholar, is the only way to pursue the holy path, and it is an extremely critical and important juncture in life.

But many more people have fallen before this level, and they have not been close for decades, completely cutting off the path of the holy path.

When the list is released, I don't know how many families are happy and a few are sad, who is smiling and who is crying, so from some angles, this state exam is not known how many times cruel it is compared to the college entrance examination in Su Wen's previous life.

But for ordinary people, this state exam is their triennial event.

At this time, it was only early in the morning, and outside the examination room, there were already three layers of enthusiastic ordinary people surrounded by them, and at a glance, there were at least tens of thousands of people! Even if there were garrisons on the scene to maintain order, they could not stop everyone's eagerness for the state examination.

Some are pushing carts to sell breakfast, some are carrying baskets to sell their own melons and fruits, and some people are piled up with many bamboo benches and bamboo chairs, eagerly shouting to the visitors, a hot scene.

The scholars who came to the exam naturally came earlier, and at this time they all gathered in a special waiting area outside the camp, separated from the people who were watching the excitement, a blank area of about ten zhang.

There were no stone walls in between, and no wooden fences separated them, but no one dared to cross the border.

Because ten zhang away, there were the officials of the Holy Inquisition standing proudly, because behind those officials of the Holy Inquisition, there was a one-horned horse with a snow-white body.

In the entire Patriotic Country, there are only four such one-horned divine horses, which serve as the mounts of the Holy Inquisition of the four major states!

From a certain point of view, the one-horned horse standing safely on the side at this time represents the attitude of the court, and the attitude of the courthouse is the attitude of the Holy Inquisition!

Who dares to trespass?

The local candidates in Huizhou Mansion are the earliest, in addition to Su Wen, in this state examination, the people in Huizhou Mansion are the most highly anticipated, is Sun Hu.

Sun Hu is the son of Sun Dingshan, and he obtained the position of Wensheng two years ago, and the preparation can be described as very sufficient, coupled with the continuous supply of resources in Sun Dingshan's hands, if it weren't for Su Wen's sudden sudden rise, he would have been the popular candidate for the top of this state examination.

Sun Huren is as his name suggests, burly and strong, like a real little tiger, at this time his eyes are calm, under the breeze and the rising sun, he looks extremely indifferent, not at all like a person who is taking the state exam for the first time, and there is no half of tension and excitement on his face.

"Tiger fathers have no dogs. This is what people say about Sun Hu.

There are six cities in Huizhou Mansion, in addition to Linchuan City, the most prosperous literary name is the Huangcheng closest to the state capital, there has been a bachelor, a Hanlin, and several imperial books, which can be described as a place where literati come out in large numbers.

The Xu family Xu Yu came from Huangcheng, and the dozen or so teenagers gathered on the right side of the crowd at this time were also from Huangcheng.

The young man at the head should be in his twenties, and it is certainly not the first time he has taken the state exam, so he has a lot of experience, and at this time, he is constantly teaching the experience of the provisional examination to the new literary students in his hometown, and it seems that he has no intention of cherishing himself and taking it as an opponent.

Outside of Huangcheng, the candidates from the rest of the cities of Huizhou Mansion also stood together in a clear position, and the cities were clearly divided and wary of each other.

But almost all the candidates in various cities, when they looked at the corner of the waiting area, their eyes were full of naked hostility.

What gathered there were the people of the Yan Kingdom.

This kind of hostility, of course, is not simply hatred of foreign people, but because of a past incident.

It was two years ago, for some reason, Yan suddenly sent troops to the northern city, almost using this to have a national war with the country, although the matter was finally resolved, but also formed a grudge between the literati of the two countries.

Of course, that period of history also made a person, that is, Liu Shishi, and now the pride of the entire Huizhou Mansion and even the entire patriotic country.

Even though Liu Shishi at that time had actually left Liu Yan Pavilion and left Huizhou Mansion.

And the most incomprehensible thing for the Wei Guo literati is that even if Yan Guo has made such a provocative gesture, neither Emperor Wei nor the academy has pursued it, let alone fought back against it, and even continued to allow Yan Guo people to take the state exam this year, which is simply incredible!

When did Emperor Wei and Lu Sheng become so tolerant and generous?

Naturally, ordinary people and literati could not interfere with the decisions of the incumbents, but this did not prevent them from expressing their disgust and hatred to these Yan people.

A slender young man in Mai, standing in the center of the Yan Kingdom candidates, turned a blind eye to the provocative gaze of those foreigners, indifferent, and all his attention at this time was on the girl under the shade of a tree not far away.

Like Mu Xi, Chai Nan will only pay attention to those who pose a threat to him, and in Chai Nan's list, Mu Xi is at the top of the list.

So he looked at her gaze, full of danger.

Chai Nan doesn't care about the list released by "Wen Yi Zaidao", but he cares a lot about this girl named Eldest Lady.

Especially after thinking of the other party's admirable background, the dangerous gaze in Chai Nan's eyes began to become more and more condensed.

"Mu family!" Chai Nan squeezed out these two words from the depths of his throat and clenched his fists slightly.

The three words of eldest lady have a completely different meaning for the rest of the candidates present, which is different from the hatred of the Yan people, and it is also different from the vigilance of Su Wen, or in other words, even if they have a thousand dissatisfaction and vigilance against Mu Xi in their hearts, they don't dare to show it on their faces, so the best choice is not to look at it.

Mu Xi was very happy that she didn't attract too much attention, she was sitting under the shade of a tree at this time, and Uncle Hua was standing next to her as before.

Uncle Hua is also the only person in the room who is not a candidate.

But what was surprising was that the officials of the Holy Inquisition did not stop him, and the one-horned divine horse standing on the side did not express his dissatisfaction with this, as if this qiē was so natural and natural.

Mu Xi's eyes were slightly closed, as if she hadn't woken up yet, or maybe she was closing her eyes to recuperate.

"Miss, I've checked, that Chai Nan really has no background, it's just an orphan, he was adopted by a hunter in Yan Country since he was a child, and he should have nothing to do with Fuzhong. ”

Uncle Hua's voice was very soft, so light that only Mu Xi could hear it.

Regarding Uncle Hua's investigation, Mu Xi was noncommittal, but sighed slightly: "Sometimes, orphans are just the most suspicious identity, let's check it again." ”

Uncle Hua nodded: "I know." ”

Suddenly, there was a commotion in the crowd, and someone entered the waiting room, and almost all the people in Huizhou recognized who they were at the first time.

It was a name that had been on the cusp of the storm, and that name became the most talked about after tea and dinner in a short period of time after entering the Texas capital, from a rouge shop at the beginning, to the Pineapple Street to ask for innocence on the Holy Stone, to the Oiran Contest, until the subsequent plagiarism turmoil, and the recent release of "Wen Yi Zaidao".

Almost every major event that has happened in the state capital in the past month or so has been related to that name, or rather, that person has always been the protagonist of these major events.

His name is Su Wen, he is a scholar from Linchuan City, the boss of Lin Huaju, the guest of Liu Yan Pavilion, the thorn in the eye of the Yan family, and the special Wendao saint of the Holy Domain!

"Su Shengcai is here!"

"Su Shengcai! I have pressed you for the top of the list this time!

Su Wen's appearance immediately made the crowd outside who watched the excitement more and more excited, and in the midst of the crowd, Su Wen walked around, and did not seem to have the slightest nervousness because of this, or rather, in fact, he had long been accustomed to such a scene, and he was comfortable with it.

Tang Ji followed behind Su Wen, enjoying this feeling of being in the limelight, he held his head high and his chest high, like a fat rooster with a majestic spirit.

Ning Qingbing's palms were full of sweat, even when it was the Oiran Contest that day, she had never been so nervous, and the mood that had been calmed down by the sisters in the building before became apprehensive again.

"Calm down, calm down, I'm just following Mr. to increase my knowledge, and I don't really want to compete for the rankings, don't lose Mr.'s face!" Ning Qingbing silently recited in his heart over and over again, and before he knew it, he had already walked to the very center of the waiting area.

As for Su Yu and Haoma, naturally they don't have the privilege of Uncle Hua, so they can only wait ten zhang away, squeaky and woken up by the noisy life, they can't help poking their heads out of Su Yu's arms and looking around, but they didn't notice that the one-horned horse in the distance didn't know when they tilted their heads to look at it, and snorted gently.

Su Wen's appearance, in addition to causing cheers from the general public, naturally attracted the attention of all the candidates in the venue.

Sun Hu turned his head to look at Su Wen, his face finally lost his calm, and was replaced by an extremely tangled look, his father was friendly with Su Wen, and he told him three times and twice not to be an enemy with him, but his good brother Yan Zi'an was abolished by Su Wen.

So for a while, Sun Hu's position was a little wavering.

Mu Xi slowly opened her eyes, her gaze fell on Su Wen's body, and she unconsciously raised a faint arc at the corner of her mouth.

The only one who didn't look at Su Wen was Chai Nan, his gaze had been removed from Mu Xi's body, but he still didn't cast it on where Su Wen was, but looked straight ahead, looking at the heavy and thick stone door.

At this moment, a melodious and solemn bell rang, and the door of the examination room slowly opened, and the candidates could enter.
