He also thought about joining the army, and even thought about participating in the imperial examination, but he denied it.

To join the army, you must be far away from home, leave Sangsang, and I don't know when I will be able to come back, let alone if I can come back.

When the time comes, Sangsang will be left alone at home, with no one to protect him, and if something happens, he will not be able to forgive himself no matter what.

As for the imperial examinations, it is even more impossible.

Although the master taught him to read and write, his level was only barely reading through the Three Character Sutra, and he did not eat or drink from now on, and read hard every day.

Therefore, going to the yamen as a servant and climbing up step by step from the bottom is the only way he can think of and the only way out that suits him.

It's hard, but he's going to take it steady and take it one step at a time.

He had the patience and perseverance, but he was only worried that Sangsang would not be able to wait him that long.

However, Shen Yan quickly put these mixed thoughts aside.

He just has to work hard, and leave the rest to time.

When the time comes, even if Sangsang's family finds it, he will not let it go.

After he returned home, he told Sangsang the good news, and Sangsang immediately bent his eyebrows and eyes with joy.

"That's great!"

She didn't know Shen Yan's plans and arrangements for his own future, but Shen Yan was promoted and rewarded, and she was happy.

Shen Yan also took out the silver he had obtained as if offering a treasure.

For Shen Yan and Sang Sang, this bit of silver is naturally nothing, but this is not just five taels of silver, but also represents an honor.

Gu Yunzhi saw that the two of them were happy, so he came over and asked, "What is the great joy that happened?" So happy? ”

Shen Yan didn't speak, and Sang Sang had already happily said the matter.

Gu Yunzhi couldn't help but say when he heard this: "Senior brother, you are just a county magistrate? ”

As soon as these words came out, he himself realized that it was a little misleading, and he hurriedly said: "I didn't mean that, I mean, with your ability, wouldn't it be condescending to just be a small catcher?" ”

Shen Yan's expression couldn't help but be a little more self-deprecating, "I'm just a reckless force, how can I have any ability?" In addition to going to the county government to catch fast, what can you do? ”

Sang Sang felt that she didn't like to hear this, and she was about to refute it out loud, but Gu Yunzhi took the lead, "Who said that you can only catch fast in the county office?" You can also go to the top test. ”

Shen Yan: ?

He suspected that the kid was making fun of himself.

Gu Yunzhi added, "I mean the martial champion, you can participate in the martial arts and take the martial arts champion." ”

When Shen Yan heard this, his expression was stunned.

Martial arts?

He had never thought of this before.

It's not that he is stupid, but when the dynasty has always admired literature and light martial arts, whenever the imperial examination is mentioned, everyone's subconscious reaction is also a literary examination, not a martial arts.

Even, Shen Yan was a little skeptical that in their small place, there was anyone who participated in the martial arts.

Shen Yan pondered, and Sang Sang was also stunned.

Seeing that they were all silent, Gu Yunzhi couldn't help but start to doubt himself, "Isn't your Great Yuan Dynasty a martial artist?" Am I mistaken? ”

Shen Yan caught a detail in his words, and his mind moved again.

He said you Great Yuan Dynasty.

This sentence, this tone, isn't he a Dayuan person?

Shen Yan told Sang Sang that he didn't know the details of the master, that is, he really didn't know anything, and he didn't know anything about this newly emerging junior brother.

Isn't he really a Da Yuan person?

Sang Sang also noticed this detail, and this question also arose in his heart.

However, neither Shen Yan nor Sang Sang opened their mouths to ask.

Shen Yan said: "I haven't understood. ”

Before Sang Sang came, he was a hunter who focused on hunting, and for him, these things were all irrelevant, and he naturally did not understand them.

In Sangsang's current memory, there was no information about this, and she couldn't give an affirmative answer.

At that moment, another voice interjected.

"You remember correctly, the Great Yuan Dynasty did have martial arts."

The person who spoke was none other than Ugly.

Sang Sang looked at her, and his eyes were immediately dyed with eagerness.

"Ugly, tell me quickly, what's going on with this martial arts system? What is the charter? ”

Although Shen Yan didn't speak, there was also a cluster of flames burning in the depths of his eyes.

It was a path he had never thought of before.

If this path really exists, he is willing to give it a try.

Facing the direct gaze of the three people, Ah Chou did not sell it, and slowly introduced Wuju to them.

In fact, the setting of Wuju is the same as that of Wenju, but it is just a matter of adding a martial character to the title to distinguish it.

Martial arts scientific examination, all the way up is the martial arts academy test, the martial arts test, the martial arts test, and then the martial arts test. And the corresponding fame is Wu Tongsheng, Wu Xiucai, Wu Juren and Wu Jinshi.

Sang Sang immediately asked, "What are the martial arts tests?" ”

Ah Chou thought for a while, "I don't know the specifics, I only know a rough idea." ”

Sangsang: "It's okay, you can say as much as you know. ”

Ah Chou roughly said, "As far as I know, Wuju will probably test horse archery, foot archery and strategy. ”

Horse archery is archery on horseback, in which candidates ride their horses and draw their bows, and shoot arrows at the target one by one in a gallop, and distinguish between good and bad results by the number of targets hit.

"Foot shooting" uses straw people as the target of arrows, and the test results not only depend on the hit rate, but also require the standardization of archery.

As for strategy, it is more focused on strategy, and the purpose is to select the talents of generals.

The martial arts system of this dynasty follows the principle of "going and staying by asking questions, and determining the superiority by bows and horses", that is, whether to admit or not according to the quality of the policy, and then decide the admission ranking according to the merits of the bows and horses. ①

After listening to Ah Chou's explanation, they also had an understanding of the general situation of martial arts.

It turns out that this is the case.

Shen Yan hung his head slightly, and his heart was already thinking about it.

According to what Ah Chou said, this martial arts move may not be impossible for him to give it a try.

Next year, it will be the time of the triennial scientific examination, and the examination time of the martial arts examination will be held within two months after the Wenju.

According to the time calculation, if he wants to participate in next year's martial arts examination, he will have nearly ten months to complete the calculation.

For ten months, he studied hard every day, and it was not necessarily impossible to succeed.

It's just that if he wants to concentrate on preparing for the exam, I'm afraid he won't be able to take care of the errands that he earned so easily.

If you want to get it, you have to give it with all your might.

He is self-aware, and if he doesn't give it his all, he won't succeed.

He is indeed good at martial arts, but he just has brute strength, and it is not the right way of kung fu at all.

As for the strategy, not to mention, he had a headache as soon as he saw the book, and it took a lot of effort to make up for this part.

Almost in this instant, Shen Yan's life plan immediately underwent a huge change.

He decided, he was going to take the martial arts test.

This is the fastest road that can help him rise to the top and get ahead.

While the road may be equally crowded and competitive, it is unlikely that every path will be smooth sailing and easy success.

Since this is the case, he naturally wants to choose the path he wants to take the most.

As soon as he set up this ambition, Ah Chou's next words were immediately poured down like a basin of cold water.
