Chapter 15: The Game Begins
啹~horn~
In the small courtyard of the Shiquan Dart Bureau, Liu Chu lit a sky monkey and ran away quickly, this was the first time he played this kind of thing, and when he was in the orphan village, he had never touched this kind of thing.
"This is also for you, take it and put it, it's your birthday today, let you have enough fun. October smiled and threw a firework to Liu Chu.
"So big?" Liu Chu caught the fireworks, his hand also sank down, and blinked, this is a hundred fireworks, which can be released a hundred times.
Liu Chu ran out of the distance, for fear that this thing would explode, so he ran back quickly after igniting the fuse with a fire fold.
Colorful fireworks bloomed in the air, and Liu Chu thought that in the future, he must pull a cart of such fireworks back to the orphanage village, show it to his mother, and show it to the children in the orphanage village, and he will definitely be able to make them happy.
"Do you know, this thing is still a very powerful lethal weapon on the battlefield, it was developed in recent years, and the Karakuri City side has been perfecting this thing, maybe in the future, the victory or defeat of the battlefield will depend on this. October said as he looked at the fireworks in the sky that bloomed and dissipated.
"But it's more important to see who uses it, and don't forget, no matter what, it's just a tool, and people are fundamental. Liu Chu retorted.
"You're right. October nodded.
"There are still ten days before the competition begins, the first three days are the competition of the civil and military examination, but those who participate in the civil and military examination also need to go, and the last seven days are the competition of the martial arts examination, and those who participate in the civil and military examination still have to go. October said.
"Yes, we have to participate in the competition for ten days in a row, and it will be very tiring. ”
Liu Chu didn't expect the competition to become so complicated, and judging from the news they received, there were more than 20,000 people who participated in the cultural examination this time, more than 30,000 people participated in the martial arts examination, and more than 50,000 people participated in the cultural and military examination, totaling more than 100,000 people.
"Do you think there will be an inside story in this competition?" October gave Liu Chu a look.
"Insider, save it, our majesty now attaches great importance to talents to an outrageous level, and he will never allow deception to occur. Moreover, this time it was Yang Xingxiong, the general of Eastern Xinjiang, who was in charge of supervising the competition, and if anyone wanted to cheat through him, it was estimated that he would be tied up and hung on the noon gate to show the public. Liu Chu shrugged his shoulders, not having the slightest doubt about the fairness of this competition.
"By the way, don't compete with me for the first place in the civil and military test. Liu Chu said.
"Why?" said October, looking at Liu Chu suspiciously.
"Because the first place has a reward of 10,000 taels of gold and 100,000 taels of silver, my family is poor, unlike your family, the family has a big business, so give me this first place." Liu Chu said with a smile.
"Money fan, you can get the first place, let's talk about it, don't get the last place at that time. October rolled his eyes.
Ten days later, in the orphan village.
"Madam, today is the day of the Young Master's competition. Zheng Yi looked at the calendar, today is the tenth day of the new year.
"Zheng Yi, I may have to leave for a while, do you plan to stay in the orphan village, or go to find Chu'er?" Long Ke'er said suddenly.
"Where is Madame going?" Zheng Yi was a little puzzled.
"It's me who is too talkative, and I shouldn't ask. Zheng Yi immediately reacted to his identity, and he shouldn't ask about Long Ke'er.
"Go find Hatsu'er, and tell him to come to me in the south later. Long Keer said.
Zheng Yi narrowed his eyes.
The first item of the essay test is the basic item, which is more related to the development of the country than knowledge, which involves many famous people and events, which runs through more than 1,000 years, but is not only the content of the development history of Chen and Wei.
There are a lot of questions that Liu Chu really doesn't know, it's all up to Meng, and I don't know who came up with the questions, which makes people feel a little unreasonable, for example, there was a big corrupt official in the history of Chu State, how many silver taels did he embezzle, is there any practical significance to a topic like this?
If it is changed to the behavior of this corrupt official that violated the laws of the Chu State at that time, it would be more reasonable.
But as a candidate, you can only choose to answer the questions, even if you have opinions on the questions, you can only hold them in your heart.
When he walked out of the examination room, Liu Chu heard a lot of people discussing the topic there, and this time the question seemed to make many people feel unreasonable.
The scene of tens of thousands of candidates walking out of the examination room one after another was quite spectacular, and there were many small vendors outside the examination room who took the opportunity to sell their own things.
Liu Chu bought two strings of sugar gourds, and then searched for October's figure in the crowd, looking left and right for a long time, and finally found October's figure.
"Give. Liu Chu ran over and handed the sugar gourd to October.
"What kind of problem is this, don't these idiots who make questions think about practicality?" October bit a sugar gourd fiercely and kept complaining.
"By the way, I always have a question, even if you enter the top ten of the civil and military examination, it seems that you can only go to the harem, right?
Because among the number of people who signed up for the competition, the number of women was only a few hundred, because everyone knew that even if there was a ranking, women could only enter the harem and work beside the queen.
"I want you to take care of it. October snorted.
The next morning, the eliminated batch was directly announced, and the scores of those who entered the next stage were not announced.
The test results of more than 100,000 candidates were processed in one day, and I had to sigh at the efficiency of the imperial court.
In the afternoon, people who entered the next stage were randomly divided into teams, and 10 people were a team to discuss and analyze a given livelihood problem and propose a solution.
If it is deemed effective, it can be passed, and ten people can move on to the next stage.
This second round of the literary test is a test of teamwork ability, of course, there is a little unreasonable, if you are assigned pig teammates, then it is basically cool.
Liu Chu was lucky, the level of the members of the group was okay, and there was a little ink in his stomach, and finally everyone discussed the solution, and after submitting it to the main jury, it was approved, and all ten of them entered the next stage.
October was also lucky and moved on to the next stage.
By the third day, the number of 100,000 people was brushed to only about 60,000, and there were nearly 2,000 people left in the Chinese test, more than 28,000 people in the martial arts test, and more than 30,000 people left in the cultural and martial arts test.
Because the top five candidates in the literary examination were screened this time, and the requirements for those who simply participated in the literary examination were higher, more than 20,000 people who participated in the literary examination were directly brushed off, and more than 18,000 people were directly brushed out.
For those who participated in the martial arts examination, they also had to participate in the literary examination, but in terms of results, it was relatively relaxed, so only more than 2,000 people were brushed off.
The requirements for those who participated in the civil and military examinations were as high as those for simply taking the cultural examinations, so more than 20,000 people were also brushed off.
The third day is the debate stopper, which is a test of a person's comprehensive ability, whether it is knowledge or aura, etc., there are certain requirements, as long as one is weak, it is impossible to get good results.
In the morning, the remaining 2,000 people who participated in the examination went to debate, first in pairs and in a team to debate, and when there were only 16 people left, these 16 people were the main jury to debate.
Eventually, the top five in the essay exam were born.
In the afternoon, the people who participated in the martial arts test and the civil and military tests debated, and the martial arts test came first, and at the end of the martial arts test, more than 3,000 people were brushed off, and there were still more than 25,000 people who participated in the martial arts test.
More than 10,000 people were swept away from the civil and military examinations, and in the end only more than 20,000 remained.
On the fourth day, the competition system was temporarily adjusted, and on the fourth and fifth days, the top five in the martial arts test were selected by those who simply participated in the martial arts test, and the top ten in the civil and military test were selected from the sixth to the tenth day.
The martial arts test is divided into two rounds, one is to test the combat ability, and the other is the ability to arrange troops, that is, to test the art of war.
Of course, if you perform well in one of them, you will also be discovered and enter the army for training, but there are many generals on the scene to observe the competition, just to see if there are any good seedlings that can be dug into their own army.
The ability to fight is to fight in pairs, the winning side stays, and 25,000 people will finish in two days, that is, the person who stays to the end may have to play more than ten games in a row, even if it is divided into two days, it will be very exhausting, but fortunately, everyone will be tired, so it's fair.
On the morning of the sixth day, the top five in the martial arts test were announced, and then there were more than 20,000 people left to participate in the civil and military examinations.
The first test is to arrange the troops, for the art of war, Liu Chu didn't dare to say that he had reached the point of being superb, but there were still people who entered the house, as the son of the first general in the world, if he didn't even have this level, it would be a fucking failure.
In the martial arts competition, the first opponent Liu Chu encountered was a big man, and at first glance he was the kind with infinite strength, and others might not be able to knock him down, but would bounce himself out.
"Hello, my name is Wu Zifang. "The big guy is very polite to report to his home.
"Liu Chu, please advise. ”
Seeing that people were so polite, Liu Chu couldn't weaken his demeanor, and he also reported his name very politely.
"I'm going on offense. After the big man finished speaking, he rushed directly towards Liu Chu.
In a trance, Liu Chu seemed to see a wild bull rushing towards him, and Wu Zifang's pair of fists were like the horns of a wild bull, pushing forward.
Liu Chu didn't dare to take this blow hard, because it was not clear how strong Wu Zifang was, and all the dexterous side moves avoided this blow, but Wu Zifang's fist seemed to turn and locked Liu Chu again, Liu Chu swung again, Wu Zifang's fist grazed Liu Chu's waist and slid through, if this hit was hit, Bao Buqi would break a few ribs.
Wu Zifang roared, and rushed towards Liu Chu again, obviously so big, but he was not slow to act at all.
This time, Liu Chu and Wu Zifang's fists fought slightly, bending their elbows at the moment of contact, and at the same time their bodies fell backwards, and their heels slid backwards.
The strength of this Wu Zifang may also be at the level of the five grades of martial arts! This is the result of Liu Chu's trial.
