Mortal Immortal Gourd

Chapter 167: Achievements

Huang Laocai made the decision to abandon the exam this time, and 뀞꿗 has been feeling uneasy, not knowing whether this decision was right or wrong.

They did not leave the county immediately, but also wanted to see the results of the results.

Just the night before the results were released, a county official found the inn where they were staying.

"Is it Huang Mancang?"

The yamen servant squinted at Huang Laocai in front of him and Huang Mancang who was lying in bed.

"Yes, yes..."

Huang Laocai quickly bent down and smiled brightly.

"I wonder what you're doing with me?"

The yamen servant was not in a hurry to speak. He raised his eyes sideways and wiped the non-existent sweat on his face.

"Damn it, it's so hot after running all this way!"

Huang Laocai immediately regretted it and quickly took out a bottle of Peiyuan Guben Pills from his arms and held it in front of the Yamen servant with both hands.

"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Cha. Here is a bottle of jelly beans to relieve Mr. Cha from the heat."

The yamen servant took the bottle, opened it and took a look at it, then put it in his arms with satisfaction.

"Our master would like to ask, do you still want the 17th place in the martial arts competition?"

Even Huang Laocai, who was used to seeing things in the world, was stunned when he heard this.

Huang Mancang has already given up taking the exam, is there still hope?

"How can we still get a place in the martial arts competition if we do this?"

"Well, it is indeed a bit difficult to give up the test after losing the battle, but if you get full marks in the military strategy test, there will be no problem."

The implication of the officer's words was very clear. The test on military strategy was a written test, and there was a lot of room for maneuver.

But it is difficult and requires extra money.

"Thank you for your kindness, sir. Huang Mancang broke a bone and cannot get out of bed for a short time. I'm afraid it will delay state affairs. He can take the exam again after he recovers from his injury."

Since Huang Laocai has given up taking the exam, there is no need to spend money to buy it back.

"OK!"

When the yamen servant heard this, he turned around and left without looking at Huang Laocai.

After seeing the Yamen leave, Huang Mancang got up from the bed.

"Dad, even though we gave up on taking the exam, I was still ranked first."

Huang Laocai was silent. After a long time, he said slowly:

"When I get back, I will send the pig at home to the foot of Shekou Mountain. Even if I give up the exam, I still want to thank Mr. Zhang."

"Isn't that piggy still growing?"

"After raising it for half a year, it has weighed several dozen kilograms. Mr. Zhang has so many people, and he can continue to raise it for another year and a half before killing him."

…………

The day when the results were released soon came, and those who passed the examination were all beaming with joy and congratulated the people around them.

From now on, they will completely break through the shackles and are no longer meat on the cutting board to be divided.

Even if you only seek an official position, you have the qualifications to hold a butcher knife and cut meat from the cutting board.

Many onlookers cast their eyes with envy and jealousy.

The envious crowd naturally included Huang Laocai and his son. Although they gave up, it did not affect their continued envy.

Huang Laocai carefully discovered that the number of martial arts candidates this year was much higher than in previous years.

At this moment, a group of county government officials shouted and pushed everyone away, "Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"

"Congratulations to all the newly promoted candidates!"

"I wish you all the best candidates for success in the future, promotion and fortune!"

These government officials went to the newly promoted candidates to congratulate them.

These new candidates knew the rules and quickly took out all kinds of property from their pockets and rewarded all the government officials.

The government officials received the benefits and dispersed the crowded crowd. Not long after, they saw the county guards walking out of the county government office.

"Master Qingtian is out!"

"Xia Qingtian!"

When the onlookers saw the county guard, they were so frightened that they knelt down and kowtowed, shouting to the sky.

Several children who were still crying had their parents cover their mouths and noses so tightly that they almost suffocated to death.

This Xia Qingtian, who was shunned by his family, was the sworn enemy of Ergouzi and Sima Yi, and the previous magistrate of Anchang County.

Ever since I got the name of Mr. Qingtian in Anchang County.

He really enjoyed the feeling of the unscrupulous people kneeling on the ground and shouting in unison, Lord Qingtian.

When he first became the county guard, there were still some unscrupulous people who didn't know he was Lord Qingtian.

For such unruly people, if you suffer a little loss, you will naturally know that the current county governor is a Qingtian master.

Only the newly promoted candidates were nervous and excited at the same time.

They seemed to see themselves in the county guard.

I am excited to think about becoming such a master in the future.

"You martial arts practitioners don't need to be polite!"

"I would like to wish you all the best for your success in the official career!"

"Thank you so much, Sheriff!"

When the county guard said this, the faces of this group of people flushed, as if they had seen themselves wearing official robes.

"A good man has his ambitions in all directions. Now there is an opportunity to serve the imperial court and establish a career. I need you to show your skills."

The newly promoted martial artists were still looking forward to their ambitions just now, but they didn't expect that the opportunity would hit their heads so quickly.

It's a good thing that someone will give you a pillow in your dream.

"I don't know if there's anything I can do for you!"

"As officials, we should strive to be the first to serve the imperial court!"

"Even if there are mountains of swords and seas ahead, we should live towards death."

"..."

When these candidates appear in front of the county governor for the first time, of course they have to work hard to make a good impression.

Everyone in the family has read the books of sages, and the flattering husbands are naturally first-class, far from those farmers.

"Okay! If you all have this loyalty, I will let you go."

The county guard saw everyone speaking so enthusiastically and being so positive, and his face showed his appreciation for the young people.

"Everyone should know that the Ten Thousand Monster Kingdom in the south took advantage of the drought in Qingzhou in the past few years to cooperate with the evil cult, invade our surrounding borders, and rob the border population."

When the county guard said this, everyone watching from the outside of the Yamen became excited.

"The Kingdom of Ten Thousand Monsters is so abominable!"

"Revenge!"

Several people suddenly realized that something was not right and began to become silent.

If it weren't for public anger, they would even want to persuade everyone to endure it a little longer. A dangerous war would not be good for anyone.

There were only a few people who had not yet figured out the martial arts, and they followed the crowd and booed like no one else.

The county guard squinted his eyes. He was very satisfied with the atmosphere of the scene. The atmosphere was almost perfect.

"According to the decision of the Qingzhou Prefecture, all the martial arts candidates on this year's list will be sent to the border of Wanyao Kingdom to establish businesses and guard the territory of the Zhou Dynasty."

As soon as the county governor finished speaking, the crowd of people watching immediately burst out with cheers like a roaring mountain and a tsunami.

"Okay! Okay..."

"Destroy the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Monsters..."

"Destroy the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Monsters..."

Huang Mancang, who was among the crowd, couldn't help but cheer a few times.

"꺶My husband stands between heaven and earth, reporting to the king and to the people. Why should he fear death?"

"If you don't share the king's worries and protect the peace of the people, what's the use of keeping this head!"

There were so many onlookers at the scene, and certainly no one was as excited as Huang Mancang.

At this moment, he was giving full play to the sage books he had read over the years.

The only people in the audience who were newly promoted to martial arts were dumbfounded and stunned in place.

The atmosphere has been heightened to this point. I just made a statement, so many eyes are staring at me, but now I won't say anything, so I don't dare to go.

"Is this the only martial arts competition of ours?"

Finally, one of the martial arts masters dared to ask.

"Yes, although there are many people who have participated in the martial arts examinations in the past, they are all in important positions and cannot be transferred for the time being."

"You are all the pillars of the loyal and brave country. I believe you will not be greedy for life or fear of death. Go home and make preparations. We will set off in three days."

"Those who disobey orders will be killed!"

The county guard said a word, turned around and walked towards the county government office.

Only a group of cheering onlookers and dumb martial arts practitioners were left in place.

They have been cultivating for many years and have gone through a lot of hardships, giving gifts to please and doing lowly.

I thought I could keep the clouds clear and see the moonlight, and finally became a master and a carnivore with a butcher knife in hand.

I didn’t expect that after struggling for so long, the meat was still on the cutting board...

On the way back to Huang Laocai and his son, Huang Mancang seemed extremely excited, as if he had lost his life in vain.

"Dad, you are really good at predicting things!"

"It's nothing, I just lived a few more years!"

Huang Laocai didn't look very excited and remained silent.

"Although we have escaped disaster for the time being, don't be too happy."

"Now that the border war has reached this stage, it will be those of us who are farming who will be unlucky in the end."

Huang Laocai kept frowning, making a difficult decision.

Because of the border wars, the government has confiscated a large amount of food and civilians from various places in recent years to supply the front line.

Many plots of land around Shekou Mountain were overwhelmed and they had sold their own plots and worked for Ergouzi as tenants.

Huang Laocai originally planned to avoid this disaster if his son took the imperial examination.

Now that I have given up on being elected, I have saved my life for the time being, but it may not be easy in the future.

Huang Mancang's Wuxiu 꺳녌 name is only 땣 for a while, but it may not be useful when it comes to a critical moment.
