In the middle of the world.

Will try to settle the dust.

No matter how Li Chun was scolded auspiciously when he went back, no matter how many cups the prime minister Ling Hu Tao dropped at home, no matter what the emperor was thinking in his heart, the thirty-three jinshi were still determined after all.

The first place is Hui Yuan, Li Chun, the second place is Yanyan, and the third place Jin is not changed.

Of course, this is not the ranking of the final jinshi, but the order of the examination, and the final decision of the ranking is the palace examination three days later.

"The palace test is very simple, it is nothing more than a knockout round. ”

The prince patted his chest.

"This time, my father said that he was sick, and I presided over the palace examination, so I can get you a good sign and send it all the way to the finals!"

Thirty-three jinshi, catch and fight, the loser is eliminated, and the person who finally gets the first place is the candidate for the champion.

Of course, this is not the end, and then the prime minister of the hundred officials, as well as the representatives of the kings of the world, as well as the royal family, can put forward another candidate to challenge the champion, and the winner can win the title of champion.

Therefore, if all qiē are fair, the champion is not so easy to be.

"Thirty-three ......"

Li Chun folded his fingers and calculated, "Well, there will be a draw of lots in every round, if you are really good, you can let me have a bye in every round until the finals ......"

Thirty-three people were eliminated in the first round, and sixteen were left.

Eight people were eliminated in the second round, leaving nine people left.

Four were eliminated in the third round, leaving five remaining.

Two were eliminated in the fourth round, and there were three left.

One person was eliminated in the fifth round, and there were two left.

In the sixth round of the final, the final champion can be determined - if a person's luck is against the sky, theoretically there is a bye in each round, and he can have a bye until the final......

"You want to be beautiful!"

The prince laughed, "Even if you don't want to be faceless, you cheat like this." This is also unpassable. ”

If the person who has five byes finally gets the champion, it will become a laughing stock when the palace test is passed out, and this kind of thing is of course not allowed to happen, so anyone who has a bye will not be allowed to have a bye in the second round, and if they continue to have a bye, they will have to draw lots again.

"That's fine......"

Li Chun nodded. "But the better strategy seems to be to simply lose in the first round, and then recharge your energy, and wait until you are elected in the end......"

"I said what the hell was going on in your head......"

The prince had no choice but to spread his hands.

"You kid is obviously a tenacious and hard-working person, why do you give people the impression that you always want to be opportunistic?"

If there is a simple way, Li Chun will definitely choose the easy way, rather than relying on strength to win.

"That's the question. I've already explained this to a person. ”

Li Chun thought of the white-haired old man in the Royal Archives, hesitated for a moment, and still didn't mention it to the prince, "It's a very simple reason, because I'm in a hurry, really very urgent, although I have the strength, but I still want to save time." ”

"Save a second. I'll be able to improve myself for one more second, for my goals. The current honor and disgrace and victory and defeat are nothing at all, I just hope it can be faster. ”

His words were very sincere.

The prince was stunned for a moment, unable to think of anything to refute him.

He sighed and shook his head. "Even so, your method still doesn't work, even if we people mention it, at least the top eight and four people have to pick out and challenge the champion, right? If it's too far behind, there will definitely be people who ......are dissatisfied."

"It's a superficial article......"

Li Chun sighed. Shake your head slightly.

"Okay, then I'll do my best, and if I can win the final, I can win the final, and I won't have trouble. ”

"I'm convinced!"

The prince smiled bitterly.

Temple Examination.

The emperor showed his face twice at the meeting, and he was already thinking of giving face to Daozun and the rules of the Heavenly Court, but when he got to the palace test, he could be the master himself, so he didn't show his face at all.

一qiē, carte blanche to the crown prince.

Anyway, now that the crown prince is capable and his reputation is in full swing, the emperor simply picks on him.

In the past few days, in addition to preparing for the palace examination, the government affairs of the DPRK and China are also complicated, and there are frequent concerts in the southeast, saying that Dongyi is about to move, which makes the prince worried.

"Summoning the new recruits to the temple!"

The eunuchs shouted orders, and the prince sat on the stool next to the dragon chair, looking forward to it.

The dragon chair was empty, and Wu Guifei, who usually worked with the emperor, had disappeared recently.

Now everyone has to avoid the prince's edge.

"It's all up to Li Qing......"

The crown prince attributed most of his credit for being able to enter to Li Chun - in fact, it was true, if it were not for Li Chun, he might have been hung in the Mausoleum of the Emperor of Heaven, and it would have been impossible to have a trip to the Taimiao.

A group of new recruits dressed in red robes rushed in.

Li Chun will try first, of course, he will be the first to come in, and behind him are Yan Yan and Jin Buchang and others.

"Huiyuan is really a talent, he is really a hero since ancient times!"

"Yes, I'm only fifteen years old this year, and I've already obtained the Jinshi qualification, I think he is the champion this time, even if he is the world's fairy white light clothes, he can't get to this point at his age, right?"

"The champion is dangerous, right? After all, the palace exam still depends on strength, Li Huiyuan has just stepped into the realm of cultivators, and there is still a gap between the strength of those veteran candidates......

"Are you buying gold and not changing it? So I'm looking forward to Li Chun's loss? Let me tell you, hurry up and change it as soon as possible, although Li Chun's strength on paper is not strong, but his record is amazing, you can see his ability in the battle of the slaughter king in the market, buy him now, you will definitely win!"

"Nonsense, I think Jiang Shanwu, the son of Jiang Hanlin, is the most likely to win the championship, his father is the champion, after Jiang Shan Wu won the lift, he worked hard to sharpen his swordsmanship for more than ten years before he participated in the Jinshi exam, obviously he came prepared, I heard that he is now a thirteenth-level swordsman, and his strength is unbeatable among his peers, you are not well-informed, or buy it from me!

"Is there such a thing?"

The hundred officials and guards were all whispering, discussing the superiority of the jinshi.

The prince couldn't help but laugh when he heard it.

"Sure enough, the wind of folk games is very strong, and all the officials are also involved in it, which is interesting and interesting, I already knew that Lone would also go to buy two notes of Li Qing. ”

This time, the strength of Jinshi, the prince knows the best.

Indeed, as the hundred officials said, the strongest should be Jiang Shanwu, who was unknown in the examination.

This person is a thirteenth-level swordsman, with a calm temperament, and he usually doesn't like to talk, in the exam, he didn't go any further when he arrived at the oasis sand castle, and he took the lead, and finally only got more than 20 people who could take the exam, and barely squeezed into the palace exam.

But his strength is indeed not to be underestimated.

His family's ecstasy sword technique, and his self-created acacia sword technique, are all first-class mastery, "the pipa string says acacia" move, even Bai Qingyi is highly praised.

In a one-on-one duel, this person is definitely a fierce opponent.

And the gold who will try the third is not the second, and it should not be underestimated.

Jin does not change his family background, and his style is extremely strict, which makes his swordsmanship slightly inferior in graceful and light, but it is extremely solid.

After all, their family takes the four books as the key, and the four characters of "loyalty", "filial piety", "benevolence" and "righteousness" are all sword intentions that directly point to the nature.

Before Li Chun decided to participate, the popularity of the champion this time was between Jiang Shan Wu and Jin Buchang. (To be continued......)
