The next day when dawn broke, Qi An woke up, looking at the hilltops that were gradually brightening in the distance outside the window, he suddenly felt a little flustered in his heart.

The panic is because of the importance of the spring test?Perhaps it was also because of the inexplicable kidnapping yesterday, and the fact that Liu Jueming rescued him effortlessly.Too many complicated and incomprehensible problems linger in my mind and linger.But thinking about the importance of the spring test, he could only forcefully suppress this bad mood, and he couldn't delay today.Otherwise, he would have to wait until three years later. Although he was still young, for some reason, he felt that he couldn't afford to wait for a while.

At this time, someone knocked on the door, according to the usual habits, it was definitely not Liu Jueming who knocked on the door at this time, after all he would not get up until the sun was high.

Sure enough, the next moment, Xu Dunzi's deep and hoarse voice sounded: "Brother An, are you up?"

Qi An turned his face away, didn't make a sound, but walked over to watch the door for him.

Seeing that Qi An had got up and dressed, Xu Dunzi said in a daze, "Uncle Ming is still sleeping."

"Let him sleep, always."

As Qi An spoke, he stretched out his hand and scratched the back of his head.

"Do you need me to accompany you to the spring test?"

"No, you can stay with him at the inn, anyway, I'll be back around noon."

After Qi An finished speaking, he turned and walked to the bedside to pack his things.

Xu Dunzi had no choice but to follow his words, anyway, he didn't really want to go with him, his purpose of coming here was just to have fun.

Before Qi An left, he sneaked into Liu Jueming's room, saw him curled up on the bed, sleeping soundly, couldn't help but sneak over, and while Xu Dunzi was away, he quickly stamped on his forehead.For some reason, looking at him, I instantly gained confidence.

So almost just after dawn, he went out with his pack on his back.When he arrived at the academy for the exam, he unknowingly dripped sweat on his forehead, perhaps because he felt the heat, or perhaps because he was too nervous.He wiped it with his sleeve.

At this time, many scholars have already entered one after another, and he followed behind.

After sitting for a long time, he raised his eyes and looked around, and found that the atmosphere was surprisingly quiet and weird.The examiner was a county magistrate in a crimson official uniform and a tall hat, accompanied by a Mr. Shushu, who looked refined.

I can't help but say that during the process of rushing for the exam, the atmosphere was tense throughout, and Qi An also planned to do his best to pass the spring exam.

Just as he was struggling to write, the examiner suddenly walked up to him, stopped, and seemed to look down at him for a while.

Qi An felt it, but in order not to affect him, he pretended not to care.

At this time, the examiner suddenly stretched out his hand to stop the pen, making him stand upright.

Qi An looked up at him, his brows were tightly knit together.

"what happened?"

Seeing the examiner's puzzled eyes staring at him all the time, he felt a little nervous.I felt presumptuous at first, so I'm afraid I'm even more nervous.

After a while, the examiner pointed to his desktop with his index finger and middle finger, and said: "Go on!"

After finishing speaking, he turned and walked away.

While Qi An was being presumptuous, he unintentionally sparked a fire.He was afraid that time was running out and he would not be able to complete it by himself.But right now he was not allowed to waste time in anger, so he changed his mind and continued the exam.

In the inn at this time, Liu Jueming had just woken up, feeling that he had slept soundly again, he sat up and lazily stretched his limbs.Seeing the sunlight coming in from the window, it was reflected in a corner of the table very peacefully.

Only then did he think of Qi An rushing for the exam, and hurriedly turned his head and shouted: "Little fat man!"

Xu Dunzi just opened the door and came in, holding a wooden tray of delicious food, including spring rolls, sliced ​​cakes, and bean cakes.He brought it to the table with great interest, smiled at Liu Jueming, and said, "What's the matter, Uncle Ming?"

"Where's the little mute?"

"You mean brother An?"

"Who else but him?"

"He has already gone out to catch the exam."

As Xu Dunzi said, he picked up a sliced ​​cake and sat comfortably on the chair, imitating Liu Jueming's usual appearance of crossing his legs, relishing it.

"Why didn't you go with him?"

As Liu Jueming asked, he moved out of bed.

"Brother Xiao'an won't let me go, he said let me watch you."

"Why are you looking at me? Can I still be kidnapped? It's him who is going to be kidnapped. You let him go alone without calling me?!"

Liu Jueming's tone sounded a little serious and excited, probably because he was afraid that Qi An would be taken away again.Although I still don't know the reason, why someone sneaked into the inn to catch him.

Xu Dunzi also seemed to remember it, and he didn't dare to bite down on the cake in his mouth.His expression was stunned, and he quickly apologized wronged: "I'm sorry, Uncle Ming, I almost forgot that Brother Xiao An had an accident yesterday."

Liu Jueming shook his head helplessly, and then said: "Go and call someone to fetch a basin of water for me, I want to wash up."

"Brother Xiao'an's life is at stake, so don't wash it, go out with me to find him."

Xu Dunzi put down the sliced ​​cake, stood up, and made a gesture of about to rush out the door.

"Are you just expecting something to happen to him? Go and call someone to fetch a basin of water for me."

Liu Jueming summoned him sternly while fastening his belt.

Xu Dunzi couldn't resist him, so he obediently went out.After a while, he took the initiative to bring a basin of water and put it on the table, the water splashed a little.He said, "Hurry up, Uncle Ming."

"I know!"

Liu Jueming got up and quickly wiped his face, brushed his hair casually, tied it up with a jade hairpin, and turned his face to Xu Dunzi: "Let's go!"

Then, the two walked quickly to the street.It was the time of the morning market, and the neighbors had already started to go out to the market, and the street vendors had already started to do business, and there were endless shouts.

"Do you know where he is rushing for the exam? The venue."

Liu Jueming grabbed Xu Dunzi's shoulder and asked.

Xu Dunzi thought for a while, pointed in a direction and said, "It seems to be over there, what kind of academy is it called?"

Although it is not very reliable, how many academies can there be in this small town?Liu Jueming walked in his direction, feeling worried. If he had known how fast he would have been waiting at the inn, he would have flown directly there.

At this time, Qi An in the examination room had already finished the exam, and when he was packing up his things, the examiner walked up to him silently, still looking at him with those strange eyes.

Qi An felt uncomfortable, so he had no choice but to say, "My lord, what's the matter?"

The examiner waved and said, "Come out with me for a while. Then walk to the entrance of the examination room.

Qi An felt puzzled, but he had no choice but to obey the words of the adults, so he went with his strength.Stepped out of the mottled stone door and hid in the corner.

The examiner showed a strange smile and asked, "What's your name?"

"Qi An!"

He was a little timid, and he always had a bad feeling in his heart.Probably because of what happened yesterday, he began to worry about repeating the same mistakes.

The examiner stared at his face for a while and said, "Do you know that you look a lot like someone."

"what?"

Qi An was surprised: "I don't know"

He looked at the other party's bearded face, those inexplicable and strange eyes, and his back suddenly turned cold.

The examiner said: "Well, don't go, I will take you to meet someone."

"See who?"

Qi An became vigilant, he always felt that he would repeat what happened yesterday.

"Come with me and you'll know."

After some psychological struggle, Qi An still felt that it was his policy to refuse, and he would never go with him.He waved his hand and said, "My lord, I have a friend waiting outside, so I have to go first."

After saying that, he turned around regardless and strode away.

I thought I didn't follow behind, but I left directly. Unexpectedly, after walking for a while, I suddenly felt a pain in the back of my head and fell to the ground suddenly.

When he woke up, he found himself in an attic, still lying down on the couch.The surroundings are finally not a dirty and dark dungeon, but a clean room with curtains and curtains.

"He's awake."

The sound came to his ears, and his mind immediately regained consciousness.Sitting up straight, he glanced over and saw two people standing in front of him, one was a tall and slender young man, wearing a white robe that looked like it was made of fine silk and satin to the naked eye, with a jade plaque on his waist.He has a handsome face, but there is a trace of evil in his eyes.

Standing beside him was the examiner just now.

"Where is this?"

Qi An asked this question again

The young master approached him, looked him over, and said, "Are you the prince?"

"What son, I am not!"

Qi An felt aggrieved and annoyed, he came here just to take an exam, but he always encountered inexplicable and endless stories.

"You are!"

The son said: "From now on, you will be the eldest son Liu Qingyun."

""

Qi An didn't understand what he was talking about. He wanted to stand up and run away, but he didn't know when someone stood behind him, and he was held down after walking two steps.

The man took two steps, looked at him and said, "Your name is Qi An, you live in Fulu Village, and you have a relative in your family. You were dumb when you were young. Isn't that right?"

"Yes, exactly, so Wen is not a prince at all."

As Qi An spoke, he cast a sidelong glance at the person holding him behind him: "Let me go."

The young master said again: "You'd better listen to me and pretend to be a prince. You will have inexhaustible glory and wealth in the future, and you don't need to rely on examinations to become a petty official."

"Why?"

"There's no reason, you look like Shizi, and he has disappeared, so you go pretend to be him. It's as simple as that."

"What if I don't want to?"

"Think about your father!"

The man said with an evil smile: "Don't worry, this matter is only good for you. Isn't it enough for you to fly up a branch and become a phoenix?"

"Aren't you afraid of being found out?"

Qi An still kept his head clear.

"As long as you are obedient and obedient, we will naturally have someone teach you how to be a good son. Besides, there is no other person who is exactly the same in the world. How can you see through it?"

The man waved his hand after speaking: "Let him go."

Qi An's shoulders were relaxed, and he felt a burst of soreness instantly.He stood up rubbing his shoulders and said, "I don't want to!"

"It's up to you whether you like it or not, unless you want to see your father die because of you, and Fulu Village"

Qi An was indignant again, but it seemed he couldn't change the situation, so he could only bear it, unable to say anything.He just thought that it would be great if Liu Jueming was here

He will come.

At this time, not far from the academy, Xu Dunzi was running out of breath. He saw the scholars leaving one after another, but he still didn't see Qi An's shadow. He was thinking about whether to go in and look for it. He wanted to ask Liu Jueming Unexpectedly, when he turned around, he could no longer find Liu Jueming.
