I am the general

In the blink of an eye, it was the day of the battle of the top three. The literary test in the morning will be held in the Golden Luan Hall. At that time, Jiang Xiangqu will sit on the dragon chair, and all the civil and military officials will be on both sides.

This is a rule handed down from the time of the first emperor, which is to see whether he can maintain his composure in front of the emperor and all the officials, and whether he can complete the examination questions within the specified time.

After all, it is the number one scholar in the martial arts examination, so the test questions will not be difficult, it just depends on whether he has this calmness, otherwise, if the number one scholar sees the emperor's feet immediately, how will he be able to face thousands of troops in the future?

At this time, before the time came, Wu Xianliang and others were already waiting outside the Jinluan Hall, and with them, there were officials who were not in the fourth rank, all standing in the outer hall.

Wu Xianliang and Yang Dan had always staggered the matches before the martial arts test, but they had never met each other. Taking advantage of this waiting period, the two got together and talked in a low voice.

"It's a great honor for me, Yang, to stand here with Miss Wu." Yang Dan dressed in a simple green dress, making him even more handsome and charming. At this moment, he smiled and looked ahead, and said softly to Wu Xian .

Wu Xianliang smiled lightly: "It's been more than half a year since we left that day, does Brother Yang feel that meeting me here is quite a delicate feeling?"

Yang Dan also smiled: "Girl Wu is very skilled, and she doesn't give in to a woman. Yang only thinks it should be so, but he doesn't think there is anything wrong with it."

Wu Xianliang chuckled twice: "I'm looking forward to fighting Brother Yang, but I won't give up the number one spot."

Yang Dan frowned slightly, and asked: "Wu Miss, is it certain that she will win the No. [-] Scholar?"

Wu Xianliang nodded very simply: "It is inevitable, no matter what, I will not surrender."

Wu Xianliang's tone was flat, but extremely firm.

Not only Yang Dan was surprised, even Wu Lun next to him was also surprised.Wu Lun had known for a long time that there would be a woman participating in this martial arts test. Although he was quite nervous waiting for the arrival of the emperor at this time, after hearing Wu Xianliang's words in his ears, he still couldn't help but look at her secretly. .

This woman is dressed in a black dress, the cuffs and trouser legs are tied up with dark green ribbons, she looks very energetic, she is wearing black brocade boots, her high neckline covers her beautiful neck, her long hair is pulled up and slanted Inserted a jasper hairpin.

At this time, she stood there with her head held high, tall and straight without the slightest timidity, and she seemed to be in high spirits.

Seemingly aware of Wu Lun's gaze, Wu Xianliang turned his face sideways and smiled at him.

Only then did he see that the woman's face was very handsome, beautiful yet heroic, Wu Lun was flustered and dodged away for a moment.But Wu Xianliang had a decision in her heart.

This Wu Lun came from a poor family, and his personality is relatively shy and suspicious. Although he is good at martial arts, it is said that his literary talent is very average, and he likes to worry too much about things.

Some things about him flashed through Wu Xianliang's mind, but his eyes were fixed on the hall.

"The Emperor is here—"

The father-in-law's sharp voice sounded, and everyone knelt down at this moment, Wu Xianliang was no exception, only a loud voice sounded at the same time: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live."

I couldn't hear Jiang Xiangqu's voice from outside at all, but I saw that everyone around me got up, Wu Xianliang and the others followed, and after a while, I heard the father-in-law shouting loudly: "The top three in the Xuanwu test enter the palace—— "

Yang Dan and Wu Xianliang looked at each other, and walked in calmly.

Jiang Xiangqu sat on the dragon chair, looking down at the three people who came in condescendingly, his face was expressionless and his eyes were cold, but seeing Wu Xianliang and the other man were both calm and unhurried, he was quite satisfied in his eyes. There was a man beside him, rather timid.

Civil and military officials on both sides of the main hall.They all looked at the three people in this scene one after another, and Wu Xian's coolness and grandeur were not inferior to the two people around him, and Wu Changxun became more and more satisfied the more he watched.

Jiang Yinge glanced lightly, but did not linger on Wu Xianliang. Jiang Xiangqu, who was above him, saw it and was quite satisfied.

"The grass people kowtow to the emperor."

Jiang Xiangqu said coldly, "Stay flat."

The three stood up and stood aside respectfully.

Jiang Xiangqu waved his hand, and the father-in-law next to him immediately raised his voice, "The top three are seated—"

Wu Xianliang and the three sat down in front of the table that was already set up next to them.

"The writing test begins—"

The three of them rubbed the ink at the same time, but compared to Wu Xianliang and Yang Dan, Wu Lun seemed much more nervous, and accidentally spilled the ink, his face changed suddenly, and he wiped it away hastily.

Many officials shook their heads slightly when they saw this scene.

After the test questions were sent out, Wu Xianliang carefully sized them up in his hands. Although there was no expression on his face, there was a secret smile in his heart. Jiang Yinge gave Wu Xianliang a large stack of test questions a while ago, each question With Jiang Yinge's opinion, and Wu Xianliang didn't know much about military affairs, but he had never eaten pork, hadn't he seen pigs run away?

But these two exam questions happened to be understood by Wu Xianliang.

The three people who got the test questions didn't start writing immediately, on the contrary, they were all thinking about something in a tacit understanding. Soon, a quarter of an hour passed, Wu Lun finally raised his pen, and at this time Yang Dan also started his pen Come.

Only Wu Xianliang remained motionless.

Wu Changxun looked a little anxious, and Jiang Yuliu looked a little anxious too. The essay test only takes an hour and a half, so time is precious.

In fact, it's not that Wu Xianliang doesn't want to move, but when she picked up the brush, she suddenly remembered that she really didn't know anything about calligraphy....

If Wu Xianliang was asked to write brush calligraphy, he might not know if he could finish writing until tomorrow. Wu Xianliang held his forehead with some headaches, and even Jiang Yinge couldn't help but worry about her at this moment.

But Jiang Yinge didn't dare to look at Wu Xianliang, because she knew that Jiang Xiangqu might notice, so she could only wait by with a calm face.

Another quarter of an hour passed, and Wu Xianliang still didn't move. Her abnormal behavior made all the ministers subconsciously look at her, even Jiang Xiangqu noticed.

This essay test is naturally a matter of marching and fighting. Could it be that Wu Xianliang doesn't know it at all?Jiang Xiangqu gave Wu Xianliang a cold look, and then looked at Wu Changxun. Wu Changxun was obviously anxious, and stood aside and stared blankly.

Wu Xianliang thought for a while, then suddenly put down the writing brush in her hand, and when everyone was dumbfounded, she suddenly folded the writing brush in half forcefully, with a crisp sound of "snap", even the other two were shocked. Startled.

Wu Xianliang didn't realize what she had done. She took off the writing brush on one side, smoothed the burrs on the fracture, and then dipped it in ink. Using her familiar posture, she finally showed a satisfied smile.

Seeing her posture, Jiang Jiang also raised the corners of his lips slightly to Qu. This black string is cool, which is interesting, even the posture of holding the pen is different.

Although Wu Xianliang had to dip ink frequently, she already had the answer in her heart, so her speed was not slow, while Yang Dan and Wu Lun were both thinking and writing at the same time. At the last moment, the three of them stopped almost at the same time , These three eloquent articles have been written.

After the literary test was over, the next day was the final martial test. Wu Xianliang and the three retreated from the Jinluan Hall, all breathing heavily.

Yang Dan laughed and said, "Miss Wu, are you sure?"

Wu Xianliang still had a casual look, but the words she said were full of confidence: "It is inevitable."

Wu Lun was secretly shocked when he heard it.

The three of them left the palace. Who would have thought that Wu Xianliang would see Fen Ran and Lin Shuang at the gate of the palace? The two were standing beside the horse bored, and Lin Shuang could still hear Lin Shuang asking: "Didn't you say it's over?" ? Why hasn’t little Liangzi come out yet?”

When did Wu Xianliang start calling Xiao Liangzi?The corners of Wu Xianliang's eyes twitched slightly, and immediately picked up a small stone on the ground, and hit Lin Shuang's calf hard.Lin Shuang jumped up suddenly: "Who?!"

The two saw Wu Xianliang in a blink of an eye, and immediately laughed. Lin Shuang went up to meet Wu Xianliang and wanted to give Wu Xianliang a bear hug, but Wu Xianliang dodged him. Lin Shuang pretended to be wronged and said, "It's all like this Long time no see, little Liangzi, you treat me like this, you have no conscience."

Fen Ran was much more serious than Lin Shuang, seeing Wu Xianliang, he just asked, "Have you finished the essay exam?"

Wu Xianliang nodded: "Yeah, the exam is over, where have you two boys been lately?"

"We are going to fight for justice!" Lin Shuang said with a smile.

Wu Xianliang no longer had any hope of getting an answer from Lin Shuang, so he could only look at Fen Ran, and Fen Ran said: "We went to exterminate bandits a while ago, and we went to many places, so we have not been in Beijing. "

"Knowing that you have entered the top three, these days are really the most important time, so the two of us rushed back here on purpose, what, are you brothers?" Lin Shuang patted Wu Xianliang on the shoulder and winked at her as he spoke.

Wu Xianliang laughed: "He really is a good brother, let's go, let's go to a bar!"

"Liang'er, you can't restrain yourself from drinking at all. You have to compete tomorrow, so don't drink." Knowing Wu Xianliang's temper of getting drunk as soon as he drinks, Fen Ran dares not let her drink again.

Yang Dan who was at the side listened, happy that Wu Xianliang had such a friend, and he didn't want to disturb them too much, so he said to Wu Xianliang: "Miss Wu, I have something to do next, so let's go first."

"Miss Wu, leave." Wu Lun followed suit.

Wu Xianliang cupped his hands, and after the two had left, Fen Ran squinted his eyes and said, "Wu Lun is suspicious and lacks self-confidence. It's not difficult to defeat him, but the difficulty lies with Yang Dan."

Wu Xianliang still smiled, hooked Fen Ran's shoulder and said, "I understand quite well, hey, really don't want to drink?"

Fen Ranbai gave Wu Xianliang a look, broke free from her hand, and said, "I don't want General Wu to turn around and cut me off, I want to go further in my official career."

Wu Xianliang curled her lips boredly: "Coward."
