[Chapter 241: Competitors]

Wu Fangyuan was also waiting for him.

He sat calmly in the car, holding his sword, his eyes half-open and half-closed, and occasionally his eyelids turned up, but there was a terrifying flash.

Standing at the age of the year and stepping into the ninth level, his life is smooth sailing.

He has a good appearance, eight feet long, broad shoulders, a nose like a gall, flying eyebrows and sideburns, and a mustache that has just grown represents his maturity and pride.

But that's all from the past.

Today, Wu Fangyuan has only one thing in mind, and that is his sword.

To be able to become a ninth-level swordsman at the age of less than thirty is absolutely impossible without extraordinary talent and hard work.

Wu Fangyuan practiced swords at the age of three, and it has been twenty-seven years now, the progress is not too fast, but there is no hindrance, this time Fubo County test, he was originally the only ninth-level swordsman, Xie Yuan has been regarded by him as a bag.

Unexpectedly, there was a Li Chun suddenly.

Li Chun, who is almost half his age.

Wu Fangyuan was still practicing at home before the county exam, and he had never seen Li Chun, but he heard the story of him defeating Cui Caozhi with one move from others, and he couldn't help but be awe-inspired.

Even if he is against Shang Cui Caozhi, it is not so easy to defeat the enemy with one move.

Could it be that this kid can really cross the threshold of a ninth-level swordsman at this age?

- So he waited at the door of the examination room, wanting to take a good look at this Li Chun before the county exam.

"Why hasn't he been there yet? Isn't he afraid of me?"

Seeing that the county exam was about to start, but Li Chun still did not appear, Wu Fangyuan was also a little surprised, and turned around and joked with his friends with a smile.

"Brother Wu, you are an old ninth-level swordsman, I heard that he had not advanced to the ninth-level when he faced Cui Caozhi that day, even if he had made a breakthrough in the past few days. It won't be Brother Wu's opponent either. ”

The friend knew Wu Fangyuan's thoughts, and smiled and said with relief.

Wu Fangyuan shook his head slightly, stopped talking, sighed and stood up.

Li Chun hasn't arrived yet, he doesn't plan to wait any longer, and the more he waits, the more impetuous. I'm afraid that it will affect my own performance, so let's go in first.

He looked back into the distance and said another word, got out of the car and entered the examination room.

"Wu Fangyuan has gone in......"

Ye Qin and Bai Liyun also saw it, glanced at each other, and became more and more anxious.

"It's coming! It's coming!"

Just when they were almost sending someone to Yue's Mansion to urge for the third time, Li Chun finally appeared on the other end of the street slowly, and Bai Liyun and Ye Qin were impatient and rushed forward.

"Brother Li, why did you come so late?

Li Chun was grabbed by two big men. laughed and laughed, but knew in his heart that these two friends were really worried about themselves, and nodded slightly at the moment.

"When I went out in the morning, I suddenly realized it, so I delayed it for a while. ”

If it weren't for his understanding, he wouldn't have almost been late for such an important exam.

"Suddenly realized?"

Bai Liyun and Ye Qin both had a look of surprise on their faces, "Isn't it brother, you broke through to the ninth level?"

Li Chun laughed.

"Guess what!"

In the examination room, King Fubo sat quietly. Several examiners gathered around him, all laughing together. Only the Yongbai Crane who was in charge of the overseer sat quite clearly.

- The superintendent of the county examination this time happened to be Yongbaihe Zhenren at the time of the Qingfeng City Government Examination, and it was he who promoted Li Chun to the first place in the Taoist examination, which made him overwhelm Cui Feiye in the total score and became the head of the case in Qingfeng City.

This county test was him again, which was a lucky coincidence for Li Chun.

Follow the rules. The prince of Fubo County was not allowed to enter the county examination room -- the government examination, the county examination, and the palace examination were all directly responsible to the imperial court, and they were a ceremony for the Son of Heaven to select talents, and the local nobles could not interfere at will, at least not blatantly.

But this time, King Fubo actually broke this convention. Take the exam room in person!

Of course, it was also because he was too powerful in Fubo County that no one could contend with him, so these examiners did not dare to say anything, but secretly speculated in their hearts about which one the prince had taken a fancy to, so they tried to help him in this way.

Yongbaihe Zhenren is an outsider, not involved in political disputes, although he does not want to offend the king of Fubo County, but with his identity, he naturally will not come to sycophancy, so keep a little distance.

"Have all the candidates already entered the venue?"

The king of Fubo County was not angry and arrogant, and opened his mouth to ask questions, and he had his own momentum.

The examiner didn't dare to slack off, and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, "Lord Qi, the scholars who signed up, except for one who was observant of the system due to the loss of his father, and one who did not show up due to illness, the rest have already arrived ......"

"Oh?"

King Fubo raised his head, "I know that Mr. Ye has passed away, and it is reasonable for his son not to come to the county to test, but the swordsman does not invade the cold and heat, who will say that he is sick and does not come?"

The examiner smiled bitterly, saying that illness must be an excuse, to the point where he can participate in the county exam, the cultivation of the swordsman is already quite high, where can there be ordinary diseases?

"It's Cui Caozhi's ...... of Qingfeng City"

Saying this name, the King of Fubo County showed a narrow smile on his face and nodded slightly.

"It's him, that's understandable. ”

Cui Cao lost a big face a few days ago, and he went to provoke others and was knocked unconscious with one move, and it is said that he went back to his hometown overnight, where he would also participate in the county exam, saying that the illness was just a reason to cover up his shame.

"It turns out that the king of the county has also heard about him. ”

The examiner breathed a sigh of relief, usually the chief examiner of the county exam is the same, but he, the examiner, had to succumb to the obscenity of the county king, and it was very difficult to be the examiner.

Cui Caozhi's matter spread all over the county in half a day, and of course these examiners heard about it, and they all felt reasonable when they knew that he would not come to the exam.

"Since it's all here," King Fubo actually wanted to make sure that Li Chun had arrived, "then let's start the county test, you go to the front to preside, this king is here to rest, and if you have the result, come and sue me again!"

Fortunately, the king of Fubo County did not have a whim, and he wanted to preside over the exam by himself, and the examiner was really disgraced.

When the chief examiner heard this, he immediately put down the big stone in his chest, and bent down to salute flatteringly, "Yes, then the officials will retire first." ”

"If the prince has any orders, just send someone to inform ......"

They were also afraid that if they accidentally brushed off the candidate asked by the king of Fubo, they were cautious, hoping that the king of the county would say something quickly, and not come back at the end.

The examiner and his party hurriedly came to the front, only to see that the scholars had all taken their seats, and the audience was silent.

-- The county test is different from the government test, these scholars are all swordsmen with professional ranks, their identities are different, and their actions are naturally very different, and they will not be as messy as the government test.

When the examiners arrived in front of the candidates, they naturally regained a fair and awe-inspiring bearing, and the examiner raised his eyes with a majestic expression, and waited until everyone's eyes were on him before he spoke loudly.

"Shut the door!"

"Today's county test has begun!" (To be continued......)
