Early the next morning.

Although the city is crowded with people and lively, there are many armor soldiers, and they are heavily guarded to patrol back and forth. And those who can pass on this main road are all students from all over the world who come to take the exam.

As for the peddlers, pawns, merchants, celebrities, etc., no matter how high or low, they all stood on both sides of the road, stopping to watch and talk endlessly. In the meantime, there are young women with light veils covering their faces, looking forward to lingering left and right, hoping to meet the handsome gentleman here, and dream of a good story.

Now there can be such a grand occasion in the song, because Zhao is located in the southeast of the God-given continent, sitting on the rich land of the three states of Central, East and Ze. The state of Zhao has always governed the country with literature, and the literary style in the three states can be said to be prosperous, so it is normal for the imperial examination to have such a grand occasion.

However, although Zhao was rich in products, it also led to a weak military because of its emphasis on literature. However, in the north of the lonely sea of tears, the Northern Yan State, which was established by force, was constantly provocative, and even there were frequent frictions on the border between the two countries.

Of course, although the people of the North are fierce and have more iron warriors, Beiyan is a bitter cold land after all. Moreover, Zhao has strong national strength, although it cannot expand its territory, but it also has more than enough self-preservation. Therefore, the comfortable life is even more created in the territory of Zhao State, and the trend of literary style is growing day by day.

The imperial examination is divided into two sessions, one is the general examination, and the other is the palace examination. The palace test is divided into two, first of all, people need to go to the capital Yanping, and enter the tribute institute to participate in the tribute test. Those who pass are evenly divided into three grades. The first class is given to the Jinshi and the first, the second class is given to the Jinshi, and the third class is given to the same Jinshi to be born. And the first is undoubtedly the champion, the second is the leader, and the second is Tanhua.

After that, there is the final test - the entrance examination, in short, the monarch himself to take the exam. Although it is only a verbal answer, this link is the most important! If you can get the appreciation of the monarch, your career will be smooth sailing in the future, and your progress will be limitless.

Don't talk much, just look at the students outside the current examination room in order. However, the periphery is congested with hundreds of people, many of whom point fingers and judge.

As the saying goes, 'One person is weak, and ten thousand people are like a mountain and a tsunami'.

Looking at the number of people at the moment, there are more than 10,000 people, and the weather is hot and the people are impetuous. From time to time, there was a little chaos and friction in the crowd, causing a lot of noise. As soon as the patrol armor found out, they stood up with a spear without asking the reason, and stepped forward to arrest them, which caused a commotion.

The imperial examination has its own rules, candidates need to enter the examination at the hour, and before the time, they need to hand in the papers, and those who exceed the hour or cheat will be banned from the examination for life once discovered, and will never have a career in office.

At this moment, Luo Yu was wearing a green shirt and holding a white paper fan, walking into front of the high gate with the flow of people. Looking back at the crowd of people, he sighed in his heart.

Although he had also taken the exam in his previous life, the crowd waiting for him had never been so spectacular! When he first saw such a battle in his life, even he was inevitably a little nervous. But more than that, under the uninhibited appearance, there is a confident smile.

Looking at the door in front of him, more than two feet under the threshold. Luo Yu didn't want to think about it, so he picked up the hem of his robe and walked in.

When you enter the high gate, it is the time of success or failure. Seeing the candidates, their demeanors are different, and their moods are very different, which can be described as a variety of states.

Looking at the number plate in his hand, Luo Yu walked straight forward.

The candidates entered the hospital, but the people were also disciplined, and they whispered outside and waited to watch, for fear that if they were not careful, they would disturb the students in the courtyard and attract the iron-masked armor to patrol.

The summer is hot, and time passes slowly like a drop of water.

About three moments later, when everyone was bored and bored, they saw that they could try the high gate, and there was a creaking sound! The people were suddenly shocked, and they all widened their eyes and stopped to look at the dark-colored copper-patterned gate that was slowly opening.

At this time, it has only been more than an hour since the start of the examination, so could it be that in such a short period of time, some students have completed the examination questions? It is simply unbelievable! But although the crowd was shocked, it was silent and terrifying!

I didn't wait for a moment, but I saw a young man in a green shirt stepping out.

In an instant, countless eyes fell on this young man!

I saw that this young man was seven feet tall, a green shirt was floating in the wind, the folding fan was gently shaking, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and his long hair was fluttering freely while walking, and this person was Luo Yu.

When he reached the bottom of the stairs, he suddenly turned around and stopped, as if he was waiting for someone? This time Luo Yu was waiting here, waiting for his senior brother Tao De, whom he had not seen for three years.

Thinking of this, Luo Yu said secretly, "Senior Brother Tao, your knowledge is no less than mine, you should come out soon, just wait here for a while, but this day is too vicious...... ”

Luo Yu folded his fan to cover the sun, looked up at the sky, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he felt the scorching heat of the sun. Immediately, he secretly looked around, and then quietly moved his steps to the eaves, in the shade.

And in his opinion, such a small movement, but he never thought that it would be seen by the crowd of onlookers outside!

"Hahahaha~" caused the bored people to burst into laughter.

Luo Yu didn't seem to care, and smiled freely, but the speed of the folding fan was much faster!

Seeing that there were still people laughing, Luo Yu said in his heart: "Cut, can this be laughed like this?How low is this laughter~!"

Even if he thinks so, he can't blame the people for laughing low! You must know that he is now, but in front of everyone's eyes, let alone moving, how many times he blinked his eyes, it is estimated that there are some boring people, counting to pass the time!

Let go of what you think in your heart, and don't care about the pair of 'watching' eyes behind you. Luo Yu came out of sight and out of mind, his eyes were slightly closed, and he waited quietly.

When it was close to noon, the heavy dark door sounded again! The numb expressions in the sea of people instantly radiated again and looked at each other. And Luo Yu also opened his eyes and looked at the door, but his expression was calm and with a faint smile.

At this moment, I saw a young man who was heroic and upright, with his hair tied on the top, walking out in a dark ink-colored robe!

Looking at Senior Brother Tao, who has been separated for three years, compared with three years ago, Senior Brother Tao has a little more steady, and with the slightly bronzed healthy complexion, he looks even more heroic.

At this time, Todd's eyes also happened to look at Luo Yu who was waiting at the bottom of the stairs.

When he looked at it, Todd was stunned at first, and then burst into laughter and stretched out his arms: "Hahaha, Xiao Yu." ”

Before Luo Yu could react when he smiled, he ate a sturdy bear hug in front of him. Besides, this summer is as hot as fire, and he feels even more depressed at this time.

So, he hurriedly begged for mercy: "Senior brother...! It's a sullen little brother. ”

Todd was anxious for a while, and when Luo Yu reminded him, he reacted and let go of his arms with a smile.

But at this moment, the iron-masked armor soldiers on the left and right behind him shouted: "I will try to be heavy, and I will be noisy!"

The two of them were taken aback, and they knew that they were rude, so they confessed and walked away.

After a while, the two walked side by side on the endless streets.

Luo Yu looked at Tao De beside him and smiled deeply, and said, "Senior brother, it's a step slower than me." ”

Tao De said disapprerovingly: "The process is not important? Who knows the success or failure until the end? The junior brother is anxious, it can be seen that the heart is weak, but he is not as confident as before." Haha~"

Seeing that Tao De was making fun of himself, Luo Yu sighed in his heart, "Senior Brother Tao has been training outside for three years, and it seems that he has experienced a lot. Or is the teacher visionary... This is the best book to read...'

Thinking of this, Luo Yu said without showing weakness: "Then we'll wait and see." ”

Todd smiled heartily when he heard this: "Yes, wait and see." But before that, you and I will have a full meal, talk about wine, and talk about brotherhood haha~"

"Hahaha~. ”

The two looked at each other and laughed.

......

Quzhong City is prosperous, and there is naturally no shortage of hotels and restaurants. And among them, the most famous one is naturally the famous Zhao country - Drunken Cloud Residence.

It is said that this drunken cloud house is famous for its wine, and its fine wine, Drunken Yunxian, is full of mellow fragrance and sweet mouth, just like the elixir and jade liquid, so it has the reputation of 'smelling the fragrance half a step is a fairy!'.

In the unitary time, by the river in the inner city, next to the stone arch bridge, there is a neighboring water pavilion, the style is simple, there are three floors built from bottom to top, there is an endless stream of customers, it is the drunken cloud residence.

At this moment, Drunken Cloud was inside, and Luo Yu Todd was sitting opposite each other, pushing the cup and changing the lamp.

I saw Luo Yu drink it all, and then looked at Tao De with a smile and asked, "Senior brother has been away for three years, is it interesting?"

When Todd heard this, he put down his wine glass and said with a wry smile: "Where did you get the interesting story, but I almost died at the bottom of the White Emperor City!"

As soon as he heard Todd's words, Luo Yu suddenly said curiously: "The bottom of the city?"

Seeing Luo Yu's doubts, Tao De took a sip of the wine in the glass, nodded and recalled: "Yes, the White Emperor is at the bottom of the city." I hid myself in the dry well of the city. I never thought ....... ”

Hearing Todd's words, Luo Yu was shocked: "You mean, the dry well leads to a cave underground, and there is an iron chain in the cave that goes deep into the deep pool?"

Todd nodded, "Exactly." At first, I was curious, so I pulled the chain. But no matter how long I pulled it, the chain seemed to be endless! But just as I was about to give up, there was a roar in the deep pool, like a ghost crying wolf, and the cave shook and collapsed...... Eventually, I escaped with it. ”

With that, Todd pulled out a plain triangular stone.

Luo Yu looked at it, there was nothing special, so he quipped: "Senior brother will not die in a catastrophe, there will be a blessing in the future, don't forget the little brother at that time, hahaha~"

Todd smiled helplessly, changed the topic and asked, "Let's not talk about being a brother first, let's talk about yourself, right?"

Luo Yu took a mouthful of fish meat and put it in his mouth, shrugged his shoulders and said, "What do I have to say? ”

Todd was silent for a moment, then hesitated, "You... How about with my sister?"

Luo Yu's chewing action suddenly stopped! Immediately, the two fell silent.

After not getting together for three years, the two were very drunk, and Todd and Luo Yu were both drunk and lying in the guest room of the Drunken Xianju.

It's late at night.

In the darkness, Luo Yu stood quietly, and a zhang away, there were two small fish in Xuanbai swirling around him.

When the small fish was swimming, from time to time in front of Luo Yu, the void roared continuously, as if he was alert to something!

Luo Yu asked suspiciously, "What are you doing?"

The fish swim faster and roar even more!

Luo Yu was surprised: "What's wrong?!"

Just as he finished speaking, the two small fish actually stopped and kept roaring! Luo Yu was about to ask again, but suddenly two feet in front of him, a black figure appeared!

He looked at it fixedly, and the person who came turned out to be Todd? But before he could shout for Todd, he saw that the two small fish turned into two dragon shadows in an instant and roared continuously, as if they were going to attack Todd!

Luo Yu suddenly shouted: "Don't ......." ”

But before he could finish shouting, he saw that at this moment, behind Todd, who looked pained, a humanoid monster that was more than a foot high, rushed towards him!

Luo Yu suddenly shouted in horror...... Wake up from a nightmare!

Looking at Todd, who was still drunk beside him, Luo Yu slowly relieved himself, and then shook his head and laughed at himself.

...............

There was no word all night, and the next day, three quarters of the hour.

As expected, Luo Yu Todd is on the list, regardless of the rankings for the time being.

Fifteen days later, more than 1,000 people gathered in the capital Yanping Gongyuan for the final competition, which is also called the tribute test.

Once again, Riluoyu High School ranked first in the first class, and was the champion of the new department, and Todd was second in the list.

As soon as this news came out, it spread all over the streets and alleys of the capital, and it can be said that everyone knows about it. However, what is even more surprising and shocking is that the new champion and the top eye are from the same family! Whether the two are really talented and learned, or whether there is another hidden secret that no one knows, there are many opinions in the capital, and even students have gathered to protest and demand a thorough investigation of the matter...... The capital was shaken for a while, and the news reached the palace on the same day.

"Smack~! Do you say it again?" The sound of the case sounded, shocking the four walls.

The little eunuch who stood in front of the stairs was trembling with fright, and instantly rolled down and fell to the ground, trembling and saying, "Enlightenment... Enlighten my king, the new champion and the list eye are... At this time, inside and outside the capital, there have been rumors that the teacher of the two must be masters, and some people say... Say ......"

Speaking of this, the little eunuch didn't dare to speak, and peeked at Zhao Yi, the king of Zhao, who was on the throne.

Seeing that the dog slave in front of him was actually swallowing and spitting! King Zhao frowned, and suddenly scolded angrily: "Dog minion, don't say it quickly." ”

Feeling the king's monstrous anger, the little eunuch hurriedly resigned: "The king is angry! The king is angry! They say that such a coincidence cannot escape the suspicion of fraud!"

When King Zhao heard this, he was stunned at first: "Fraud?!"

Immediately, he scolded angrily: "Get out! Go and invite Master Kong to come, get out!"

The little eunuch knelt down and retreated, trembling and said, "No! No...!"

Seeing that he ran out as if he was running away, King Zhao stabilized his mind a little and picked up the music again, as if he was reviewing, but his face was cloudy and uncertain, obviously his mind was confused.

After a while, Kong Taishi hurried in a hurry.

But before he could salute, King Zhao said eagerly: "Teacher, have you heard of the rumors outside the palace?"

Master Kong was the chief examiner of this imperial examination, and he came all the way in a hurry, and he had already guessed what was going on, and he already had a plan in his heart at this moment.

I saw that he eased his breathing a little and said indifferently: "My king, this imperial examination is presided over by the old minister, but the old minister has entered the twilight of his life, and he will never use his own name to do the thing that deceives the king, please be relieved." Moreover, the things outside the palace are harmless in the eyes of the old ministers. ”

When Zhao Wang heard this, he asked with a puzzled face, "Oh, what does the teacher mean by this?"

Although he seemed to be puzzled, there was hidden anger in his heart, "This is all burning eyebrows, the wave of students, favoritism, this has never happened since the founding of the country, I am a big Zhao, the most important is the text, more important morality." Now it's just a matter of doing the same thing, but it's still a champion and a role model, not to mention that the students outside refuse to give up, even I, King Zhao, don't believe it!"

At this time, Master Kong looked excited and said: "My king, the old man and all the examiners have checked the answer sheet of these two people many times, and they all agree that the answer sheet of the two is a top quality that has not been encountered in a hundred years. In particular, the work of this new champion is even more distinctive, unique and incisive... ”

After Mrs. Kong finished speaking, she immediately took out the two answer sheets in her sleeve and presented them, and stood quietly beside her just waiting for King Zhao to look at them.

King Zhao was puzzled at first, and his brows furrowed and he picked up and watched them one by one. But with the passage of time, the look in his eyes changed, whether surprised or delighted, and changed endlessly.

It wasn't until he put down the answer sheet in his hand that King Zhao exhaled a breath of turbidity, and the big stone fell in his heart.

He looked at the two answer sheets on the case, and smiled, obviously glad that he had received such a good talent.

But after a while, he frowned slightly, and slowly tapped the answer sheet on the case and said: "Although as the teacher said, the two answer sheets are indeed the best in a hundred years. However, things outside the palace are not allowed to be ignored. ”

When the old lady heard this, she was relieved: "My king doesn't need to worry, he just needs to order the internal officials to pass the word." On top of the palace examination, the king personally took the school examination, and he will know at that time. When the people heard of it, they would disperse in the hope that the results of the temple examination might be fruitful. In Lao Chen's view, this small turmoil is not only harmless, but also beneficial. ”

King Zhao suddenly said curiously: "Oh?

I saw Master Kong smiling and said: "Come to the palace to test, if these two people are boastful and talk about soldiers on paper, they can be cut off to show the wisdom of my king and calm the commotion of the students." If the two of them are really talented and learned, they can be rewarded again to show our king's love for talent. Between these square inches, the weight is all in the hands of my king, so the old minister thinks that this matter is beneficial and harmless. ”

When King Zhao heard this, his brows immediately stretched, and he sighed in his heart that this ginger was still old and spicy.

Immediately, he praised with a smile on his face: "The teacher is very intelligent, and he has solved such a problem in an instant, which is really a blessing for the widow." If those two people really have real talent and real learning, the widow is also interested in choosing a horse for the eldest princess hahaha~. ”

When Taishi Kong heard this, he secretly praised King Zhao Gaoming in his heart, and at the same time did not forget to shout: "My king is Yingming." ”
