Wang He was waiting for news in the Taiqing Sect, and he thought that it would be easy to send two of the family's first-class top swordsmen to kill Zhang Ming. Thinking of Zhang Ming dying in his hands, Wang He's heart was happy.

Wang He's resentment towards Zhang Ming has reached the point of hatred and resentment, it can be said that Zhang Ming is his inner demon, as long as Zhang Ming does not die, he can't do anything.

"Zhang Ming, no matter how powerful you are, there is no family, no power as a backer, and there is only one way to die in the face of my powerful Wang family. Wang He sneered in his heart.

"Young master, something happened. A subordinate quickly ran to report to Wang He, "The two worshippers are dead. Died outside the city of Anxi Province. It's all a sword to seal the throat. The murderer who killed the second elder must be a person who is proficient in swordsmanship. ”

A trace of shock flashed in Wang He's eyes: "What did you say? The two worshippers died? Their martial arts are strong, and their swordsmanship has reached the realm of human and sword integration." As long as they don't encounter the innate powerhouse, they are even invincible, and if they want to escape, who can stop them?"

The subordinate said, "Young master, the head of the family told you to go back immediately, otherwise, he will use the family rules to deal with you." The Sword Sect has already sent news that if you dare to make a move against Zhang Ming's village, you will have to bear the wrath of the Sword Sect. ”

The fear in Wang He's eyes flashed for a moment: "How is it possible, how can the Sword Sect stand up for Zhang Ming? Could it be that Zhang Ming worshiped the Sword Sect? I know, the two worshippers must have died in the hands of the strong man of the Sword Sect." But what about the Sword Sect, I'm still a disciple of the Taiqing Sect. ”

Saying this, Wang He obviously lacked confidence.

Although the swordsmanship of the two enshrined is not the most powerful in the family, among the first-class martial artists, it is absolutely terrifying, they can kill them, and seal their throats with a sword, except for the strong men of the Sword Sect, Wang He can no longer think of anyone else.

As for Zhang Ming, in Wang He's eyes, he is just a kid with strong strength and good boxing skills.

To say that Zhang Ming's swordsmanship has reached the realm of the unity of man and sword, Wang He will definitely not believe it.

Let the two worshippers kill Zhang Ming, the family didn't know at all, it was Wang He's private order. Now not only did the two worshippers die, causing a lot of losses to the family, but also offended the Sword Sect. More importantly, he was unable to kill Zhang Ming, which is the most unforgivable.

After killing Zhang Ming, everything is over, but Zhang Ming is alive and is the sworn enemy of the Wang family.

Wang He said, "I'll go back now." I want to tell my grandfather what happened in person, and let him make the old man's decision. ”

Wang He's grandfather is the current head of the Wang family.

He believes that his grandfather will not give up the pursuit of Zhang Ming.

When he returned to Wang's house, as Wang He expected, although he was scolded and punished accordingly, his grandfather told him seriously: "Things have happened, and it is useless to regret it." The Sword Sect just asked the family not to touch the mountain people in those villages, but he didn't say that he wouldn't let Zhang Ming be killed. The life of a person like Zhang Ming is a shame and a disaster for the family. Kill him, you must kill him! Also, send a message to the officials of our family in Anxi Mansion, isn't Zhang Ming going to conduct a scientific examination? Fighting with my Wang family, even if he is strong in martial arts and knowledgeable, it is nothing more than that. ”

The Wang family already paid enough attention to Zhang Ming, but unfortunately, they didn't know that Zhang Ming's body and qi and blood strength were already comparable to those of an innate martial artist. As long as it is not an innate martial artist, it is too difficult to kill Zhang Ming.

Wang He listened to his grandfather's words and was overjoyed: "Yes, grandpa." The grandson will definitely bring Zhang Ming's head back. ”

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

The five princes who were still on a private visit to Weifu in Anxi Mansion also got the news that the Wang family had lost two offerings.

The fifth prince smiled and said to Jia Fengfeng and Lin Fengfeng beside him: "I didn't expect that Zhang Ming not only has profound boxing skills, strong strength, but also profound swordsmanship, at least reaching the realm of human and sword integration." For a big family like the Wang family, although the offerings recruited are not congenital, and there is no way to compare them with the offerings in the palace, they are also the top masters in the first-class. It is not easy to kill the two worshippers of the Wang family at the same time. Jia Lao, Lin Lao, now this king knows why you gave Zhang Ming such a high evaluation when you first met him. This Zhang Ming is a real genius. ”

The more powerful Zhang Ming is, the happier the fifth prince is, because this proves that his vision is not wrong, and Zhang Ming is a person worth wooing.

Jia Xianfeng said: "Your Highness, when I learned that Zhang Ming was hunted down and killed by the Wang family, the old man was also shocked, I didn't expect the Wang family to do it so quickly. These big families are really resolute in their actions. We have been paying attention to the city, as long as the Wang family does it in the city, we will definitely find out that even if Zhang Ming is in danger at that time, we will be able to rescue him. But the Wang family's offering actually led Zhang Ming outside the city. Come to think of it, the Wang family also guessed that we might interfere and wanted to avoid us. ”

The two congenital offerings around the five princes can hide from ordinary people, but they can't hide from a big family like the Wang family.

The fifth prince nodded and said, "Obviously, that's the case. But this Wang family has made a lot of calculations, but they have not calculated Zhang Ming's true strength. Not only did he not be able to kill Zhang Ming, but he also lost face, lost two masters, and lost two worshippers in vain. Oh, it's not a loss in vain, with the lives of the two worshippers, Zhang Ming's true details were tested. ”

Lin Xianfeng smiled slightly: "Not necessarily." Zhang Ming's ability to kill the two worshippers of the Wang family may not be his true strength. Zhang Ming, a young man, although Lao Jia and I could see his strength, we ignored his character. Your Highness, a person's strength and skill are only a part, not all. ”

Jia Xianfeng also nodded, Lao Lin was right, for a martial artist, the heart is very important.

Zhang Ming's temperament, even if it is Jia Fengfeng and Lin Fengfeng, the two innate martial artists, is a little incomprehensible.

The fifth prince smiled and said, "Zhang Ming hasn't burst out of his true strength yet?" maybe. However, the Wang family will not give up, and will definitely send more powerful people to kill him. Lin Lao, Jia Lao, we are watching the tiger fight from the mountain, as long as the Wang family does not send innate masters to come, we will not interfere. This king is also curious, where is Zhang Ming's extreme strength. ”

Jia Xianfeng said with a smile: "Your Highness, rest assured, Lao Lin and I will not make a move easily." Zhang Ming's kid, who reads a lot, has wisdom, and has a strong skill and swordsmanship, he won't die so easily. ”

In fact, the most optimistic thing for the five princes is that Zhang Ming knows how to take advantage of the situation to let the children in the village worship the Sword Sect and find a strong backer for the villagers. The Wang family did not dare to threaten Zhang Ming with people from the village.

"In two days, it will be the day of the government exam, and I hope that this exam will not cause any trouble. The fifth prince said secretly in his heart.

came to Anxi Mansion for a private visit, the purpose has been achieved, and after the exam results are released, he will return to the capital.

There, there are more important things waiting for him to do.

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

The day of the exam has finally arrived.

Zhang Ming entered the examination room with a calm face, completely different from the mentality of other students who took the exam. Looking at those students who are taking the exam, they are either inferior, arrogant, worried, or arrogant, and all kinds of mental expressions are undoubtedly displayed on their faces. Zhang Ming shook his head secretly, with such a mentality, how could he do a good job?

Without waiting for the results of the exam, Zhang Ming had already concluded that these people would definitely not pass the subject. Of course, if the officials who read the file engage in favoritism and irregularities, that is a different matter.

The questions on the test paper were all done by Zhang Ming, and he was very handy to deal with. However, Zhang Ming still did not have the slightest sloppiness, first wrote out the article on the manuscript paper, revised it to perfection, and then wrote the answer sheet.

The three-day scientific expedition is torment and torture for many students. But in Zhang Ming's body, his temperament is changing.

After this scientific expedition, no matter what the result is, Zhang Ming feels that his knowledge and wisdom have been sublimated. In layman's terms, it is the realm that has been raised to another level. This is somewhat different from the realm in martial arts. However, in the future, Zhang Ming's comprehension ability, and even the speed of martial arts, will be faster than before.

If you don't have enough skills, you can cultivate, and if you want to improve your mental realm, that's the most difficult. If you don't read the books of the sages and understand the principles of life, your mind will not be perfect at all.

This is also the same as many Taoist monks who still want to enter the world to practice after becoming monks.

"The so-called martial arts cultivation is actually the process of surrendering one's heart. After answering the test paper, Zhang Ming said secretly in his heart, "It is said that the scholars in ancient times, those sages, had incredible strange abilities, and they were not weaker than warriors. Now it seems that this is indeed the case, whether it is studying or practicing martial arts, in the end, they are all the same way. ”

I don't practice martial arts, I only study, and my thoughts are right.

Although Zhang Ming still didn't know where the strange abilities of the ancient sages came from, he was already hovering on the edge and had a hint of understanding. As long as you keep up your efforts and follow in the footsteps of the sages, I believe that in the future, you will also gain those strange abilities.

The sages were able to look back at the past, foresee the future, and know it. This is as powerful as the gods in mythological stories.

"Saints. A hint of admiration and yearning appeared in Zhang Ming's eyes, "I don't know if I can reach the realm of an ancient saint in my life." ”

In ancient times, a hundred schools of thought contended.

There have been many saints and sages, and they have left a splendid and immortal civilization to mankind.

"I really want to see the demeanor of those saints and sages. Zhang Ming secretly sighed all his life, but unfortunately, he was born at the wrong time, and now there is no saint.

After the scientific examination, Zhang Ming did not return to the village, but still lived in the inn and waited for the results of the examination.

Half a month later, the day before the gang, the fifth prince came to the Yamen of Anxi Mansion with Jia Feng.

The officials were about to go out to greet them, but were stopped by Jia Feng.

Although it is an open secret that the five princes came to Anxi Mansion, after all, it is a private visit to Weifu, so it is better to keep a low profile. pomp, extravagance and waste of people's fat and ointment, the five princes don't like it very much.

"Tomorrow is the day the list will be released, where is the list?" the fifth prince asked the chief examiner.

The examiner had a bad premonition in his heart, but he still took out the list roster.

The fifth prince took it and looked at the list carefully, frowned, and then checked it carefully, but there was still no name he wanted to see.

"What about Zhang Ming's test papers? The fifth prince glanced at the examiner and said lightly.

The flat voice was like thunder in the ears of the examiner.

Zhang ming?

The Five Princes actually wanted Zhang Ming's test papers? Could it be that Zhang Ming had anything to do with the Five Princes?

The examiner's surname is Wang, and he can be regarded as a side child of the Wang family, this time the Wang family sent a letter to him, no matter how good Zhang Ming's writing is and how high his knowledge is, he must be made to fall off the list.

After the scientific examination, the examiner found Zhang Ming's test paper for the first time, and when he saw it, it was indeed a good article. Such literary talent and learning are the best talents. If it is fair and just, Xie Yuanlang of Anxi Mansion must be Zhang Ming's.

It's a pity that Zhang Ming offended the Wang family and deserved to be unlucky. As a result, those officials who read the papers did not see Zhang Ming's test papers at all.

Jia Xianfeng turned into an afterimage, came to the examiner's side, and said in a cold voice: "Your Highness asked you, why didn't you answer? ”

In desperation, the examiner took out Zhang Ming's test paper.

The fifth prince read Zhang Ming's article calmly, but his breathing was a little short, which showed that his heart was not as calm as it seemed.

Jia Xianfeng knew the temper of the five princes, and the more angry he was, the more he pretended to be calm. Now the Five Princes are clearly on the verge of outbursting into anger.

It is indeed a good article, even if it is used to participate in the palace examination, the hope is very great.

The fifth prince nodded and said, "Zhang Ming's article is very good, and after this king read it, he was full of enthusiasm." But such an article can't be in the middle of the subject, and it can't even be included in the B list. This shows that those articles that raise people in the imperial school are more profound than Zhang Ming's literary knowledge. Anxi Mansion has produced so many talents and talents this year, which is a blessing for the imperial court. Take out all the test papers in those subjects, and this king will read them one by one. ”

The cold sweat on the examiner's face was like rain, and his body trembled with fear. He knew that if he was finished, even the Wang family would not be able to save him.

(Today's two changes, this chapter makes up for yesterday's.) There is also a shift in the evening. ）
