The next day, the long-awaited imperial examination finally arrived as scheduled.

Due to the preparation in advance, Bei Hongqi was fully cultivated, and now he is full of energy, and he is patiently waiting for the draw on the palace square with those candidates who participated in the martial arts.

In Bei Hongqi's eyes, this time the imperial court did much better than last year, last year's lottery could make the officials a little busy, but now it is in order, it seems that the imperial court has gained a lot of lessons from the first imperial examination.

Thinking of this, Bei Hongqi couldn't help but laugh - why wasn't he like this?

There are still many re-examinees who have come to take the imperial examination for the first time or have not yet learned their lessons, and they look haggard and unbearable, and it seems that they did not have a good place to rest yesterday, so they can only sleep on the streets hastily, and some have not even touched a drop of rice since yesterday.

In fact, in response to this situation, the imperial court also has a lot of countermeasures, and even the emperor even took out a part of the palace for candidates to live.

But there are many monks and little meat. Just think about it, the Great Zhou State was originally a country governed by officials, and officials often held considerable power, and power meant wealth and status, so who didn't want to be an official except for a few pretentious people?

Moreover, the imperial examination system at the beginning was still extremely imperfect, all candidates did not go through the preliminary screening, and they all came directly to the capital to take the examination, and then after the influence of the imperial examination in the first year, many civilians were successfully promoted to officials, and the number of candidates in the second year was naturally much larger than in the first year. Many people who are a little literate and understand martial arts have come, and even people who are illiterate and don't know martial arts have come to try their luck, so that the candidates easily exceeded 10,000 people, which is undoubtedly a huge burden for Zheng Luo.

This kind of increase in the number of candidates will continue year by year, but it doesn't matter, according to the emperor's plan, after five years, you can rest assured that the local officials will have undergone a preliminary screening. If there are still too many people, you can even conduct a second or even third round of screening.

In fact, everything that wants to be perfected must be carried out step by step, and it cannot be achieved overnight. On the earth, the imperial examination has been continuously improved for thousands of years, and even evolved into various more perfect ways in the era of Chu Shou.

At first, Tang Jie was very worried that those capable candidates who did not get a good rest before the exam would be eliminated, but Lin Yan explained for him in cold blood: "I can't even fight for an advantage in food and accommodation, and I just think that I can be all right with my talent, if this kind of person is really eliminated, one is that his ability is really insufficient, and the other is that he is not thoughtful." The third is that they do not attach importance to the imperial examination at all, and no matter which of these three points are self-made, if they are generals in the battle between the two armies, they will inevitably be defeated, and there is no need to care too much about these people. ”

Tang Jie is not the kind of person who is indecisive, he agrees with Lin Yan's words, so he is relieved, and no longer bothered about this matter - in fact, the imperial examination began before it was officially held, but it was not just the superiority of the candidates' martial arts or outstanding literary talents. It's about whether he thinks about it or not.

Those candidates who didn't have a good rest last night were complaining that the capital did not give them good accommodation and food, and they felt very unfair in their hearts, but they did not expect that this qiē was actually arranged by the emperor.

When Bei Hongqi saw these people, he couldn't help but think of himself last year—how could he not be so wolf at that time?

Of course. Those who were prepared were not only fighting for an advantage in terms of food and shelter, they even prepared all kinds of creatures for themselves to help in battle, just like Bei Hongqi.

Ever since the last time someone was allowed to use a creature to help them fight, everyone has realized this aspect - a powerful creature comrade in battle can be a huge help, and can even turn the tide of battle directly.

In this regard. The system of the other world is obviously different from that of the earth, this is not because the imperial examination is imperfect, but because this world has things that the earth does not have-magic and magical beasts.

Not bad. Warcraft with advanced intelligence and powerful magic are very obvious to help humans in battle, and even on the battlefield, Warcraft plays an incalculable role.

One of the reasons why the Later Zhou Dynasty was able to dominate the princes was that they had a Warcraft army that they looked down on. Although the world is now decided, the military of the Great Zhou Dynasty cannot be abandoned, especially the foreign races are still eyeing the outside world.

Even if the people who can well subdue the domesticated demonic beasts are not high, they are also rare talents, and the Great Zhou is also very urgently needed, so the imperial examination also allows animals to help in this battle.

However, after the first imperial examination, everyone knew that they could use animals to help in the war, and there were already people with Warcraft, and many people without Warcraft wanted to take advantage of it like Bei Hongqi, and they also got some Warcraft indiscriminately, and some were not even Warcraft, just simple animals.

For example, many people around Bei Hong Qi now have all kinds of dogs, and some of them have brought cats - this is definitely not a monster, it is pure and pure Wang Xing and Cat!

These pets undoubtedly bring endless hustle and bustle to the imperial examination, if you don't know the situation, some people will think that the palace square of the Great Zhou is a pet bazaar!

Of course, many of these pets can bring much help to their owners, and in the martial arts competition that they finally waited for, Bei Hongqi and Chu Shou saw with their own eyes that a blonde ninja with a dog using lightning was caught alive by a guy with red hair and half of his face using Ziyan.

...... Wait, what's the matter with the strong sense of immediacy in the images of these two warriors? Author, are you really sure that these two people are from the Great Zhou Kingdom?

In order to make the contest faster, the imperial court almost exhausted the land of the capital and the surrounding suburbs, and built more than 200 rings, and according to the regulations, if the two people in the ring could not distinguish the winner within a stick of incense, they would both be eliminated.

In this way, everyone on the field has no reservations, if it is not for the rule that no one can kill or maim people, it is estimated that half of the martial arts candidates will have to explain in this good place.

Soon it was Behunqi's turn to play.

Bei Hongqi's opponent was a patient who was covered in dirty, had sores on his hands, and was coughing up blood, and he carried a sick earth dog called "Wangcai". I don't know what happened to him along the way when he came to the imperial examination.

Seeing this person, Chu Shou felt that this person was definitely the right person with Bei Hong's seven families, and he was talented and good-looking-they were all good material for beggars!

As a result, before that guy could wait for Bei Hongqi to make a move, he and the earth dog both died of illness in the ring.

Fortunately, this person has not had any contact with Bei Hongqi, and after appraisal, it was judged that Bei Hongqi was not a murderer, so he was not disqualified from the imperial examination, but won directly.

Upon getting this result, neither Bei Hongqi nor Chu Shou had the slightest joy, they were just dumbfounded--why could such a person also participate in martial arts? Isn't this child's play?

Of course, the imperial court did not care in the slightest, because the imperial court understood that these people would soon be eliminated, and they just wanted to mix with a gambling mentality, and this possibility was almost zero.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Bei Hongqi and Chu Shou to discover many powerful masters. One of the white-clothed scholars was extraordinary, extremely handsome, and his gestures were full of charm and chic, which caused the girls and aunts watching to let out shouts, and even the examiner and other candidates couldn't help but look sideways at him.

What's even more odious is that this book is just handsome, and his martial arts are very strong, judging by Chu Shou, he is definitely not under Bei Hongqi, and may even be more powerful than himself.

"Ouyang cockroach!" Seeing this person, Bei Hongqi's face was full of blood and hatred, and he scolded in a low voice in pure Cantonese.

"Hmph, you are handsome and die quickly, and the incomparably dirty inside under the skin is absolutely bad!" Chu Shou looked at how many women were obsessed with that person, and he secretly cursed in his heart very unhappily.

That's right, this person is the natural enemy in Bei Hongqi's eyes, the Western Poison Ouyang Feifei.

Bei Hongqi was originally just talking in a low voice, but unexpectedly, Ouyang Feifei's martial arts had reached the transformation realm, and his ears and eyes were not comparable to ordinary people, and Bei Hongqi's voice was actually heard by Ouyang Feifei in the noise.

Ouyang Feifei turned his head to Bei Hongqi's side, and smiled heartily: "Ouyang Huihui, a native of Xiguang Huzhou, can't think of seeing Brother Bei here again, it's really a happy thing! Since that day of the battle, the younger brother has admired Brother Bei's martial arts, and he wanted to make friends after the imperial examination, but unexpectedly, there was a change in the middle of the way, and he couldn't achieve it, and he regretted it deeply. After today's imperial examination, the foolish brother is the east, please Brother Bei to the table, I don't know if it is a roar to reward the face?"

Ouyang Feifei's words were not only polite, his attitude was extremely sincere and natural, not like a hypocrisy, but he did not relax in the battle in his hands, forcing the opponent wolf to be unbearable, which shows how easy he is.

However, in the face of such a sunny and beautiful man, Chu Shou and Bei Hongqi, two psychologically shady guys, became more and more gloomy.

"Bah, I'd rather eat shit!" Bei Hongqi didn't dare to be too rude in front of everyone, so he could only scold fiercely in his heart, "You cockroach!"

Chu Shou also scolded almost according to Bei Hongqi's caliber in his heart, and couldn't help but complain during the period: "What is going on with this Ouyang who died quickly and that Mandarin with a strong hometown flavor......?
