Wulong Inn

the next day.As soon as the early morning arrived, the candidates who had packed up had just sat down in their respective seats, when they heard a distant drumbeat coming from Mingyuan Building. Accompanied by the gradual drumbeat, the candidates who had been calm before suddenly became nervous.

The examination papers were delivered at night, loaded in a carriage, and double-locked and sealed. Master Xu and Master Wu each held a key, and opened the two big locks inside and outside in front of everyone to show that the new paper was unsealed. Afterwards, The inspectors distributed the examination papers one by one, and when the sound of the drums subsided, the examination papers were neatly placed on the examinees' desks. Master Xu waited for the examination papers to be distributed, and then said solemnly, "Let's begin."

As soon as his words fell, a sergeant stepped forward and lit the two sticks of incense on the stone platform at the front of the Gongyuan, and only then could he start answering the questions.

Opening the examination paper, one can see that it is a thin booklet with four pages of student announcements. The folded corners of the student announcements are used to fill in the names of the candidates so that they can be pasted and bound. There are four exam questions in the booklet, and the two sticks of incense will be burned After finishing, the inspector will come to collect the roll paper of the first question, and the test paper will be sent directly to the marking officer. When the students here are still taking the test, the marking has already started on the other side, and the same direction is carried out to improve efficiency. .

Of course, because of this regulation, candidates are strictly restricted from the order of answering questions, and even the answering time must be accurately calculated, which adds a lot of pressure.

Because the time was too tight, the students who received the test papers all seized the time to review the questions, and then wrote hard. Mr. Xu went back and forth between the sheds, seeing the pillars of the country fighting hard for the future, he stroked his long beard and showed a look of comfort Looks, after a night's rest, he changed from yesterday's sluggishness, he is very energetic, his old eyes are shining brightly, and the lines are a bit sharp. Unfortunately, at this time, the candidates are busy answering questions. But no one had time to interact with him, which made him a little bit disappointed in his life.

Suddenly, Master Xu's eyes were fixed, and he strode towards one place, followed his line of sight, but saw candidates in a number shed, who were spreading out the papers, and did not answer for a while.

Master Xu frowned and took a closer look, and saw the candidate with sleepy eyes and a look of ecstasy, Master Xu looked normal when he saw this. He has been invigilating the exam for many years, and he is also experienced. Said that this student was hesitant and overly nervous and overthinking last night, so he could at least sleep, and knocked on the open window of the other party. After attracting the other party's attention, he gave the other party a warning look, and came back to his senses after seeing the other party's surprise. , and then Shi Shi ran away.

Master Xu looked at him inexplicably, he forgot to glance at the back of the other party with some doubts, Gao Fei immediately looked away, but he didn't have the heart to speculate on the other party's intentions, last night, too many things occupied his whole mind, the darkness Here, the deep voice quietly told everything about himself, his life experience, his past, everything about Cangzhou, the reason for coming to Zhongdu, every detail, as long as Gao Fei wanted to know, he would tell it frankly .

Although his background is greater than Gao Fei imagined, and his life experience is much more bumpy than he imagined, what moved Gao Fei the most was the frankness of the other party in front of him. Some are frank, which comforts him.

Gao Fei took a deep breath, put away the chaotic thoughts in his head, and was reminded by Mr. Xu that he was much more awake now. After a moment, Gao Fei smiled wryly and realized that the biggest reason for him to sit here was Because of an exam, because of repeated worldly sophistication, he almost forgot it.

With a straight face, Gao Fei finally cast his eyes on the test paper under his elbow. After reviewing the paper for a while, he quickly answered the questions. At this time, he was in a surprisingly good state of mind. Than, this test is really not that important.

Zhang Boxing, leaning on the eaves, watched Gao Fei's every move with a soft expression.

Last night, after revealing everything, he felt a lot more relaxed for no reason, and the wound gradually healed after a night of recuperation. Zhang Boxing looked away with nostalgia, and Zhang Boxing's eyes fell blankly. He became firm and determined to tell the other party everything about himself, but there was one thing that he was about to say, but he twisted it in his throat and swallowed it back. A sick and cold figure flashed in his mind, and Zhang Boxing's gaze became Get chilly.

That night, he endured the pain by force, and lay quietly on the eaves of a corner of the deep palace. Just as he was about to try to escape, he was stopped by a figureless figure.When he was brought by the other party in front of the sick and weak boy lying on his side on the soft bed, he was still full of doubts, but the other party's subsequent words made him understand a little bit.

"I can get you out of here." This was the first sentence the young man said when he saw him, and when he saw his disdainful expression, the young man said unhurriedly: "Nowadays, there are heavy soldiers inside and outside the Yuan Palace. All four doors are closed, Xu Jin does not need to go out, you have no choice." Seeing that his face is still indifferent, the young man is rarely angry: "You don't believe me!"

He closed his eyes for a moment, as a tacit consent.

The young man took a deep breath, before he opened his mouth, he stopped revealing a trace of his thoughts: "You are powerful in force, and you have all kinds of means to leave freedom in secret. Even if you rush out by force, you will be invincible, but you also need to know that now You are not the only one in this capital."

Seeing that his eyes were puzzled, the young man was not in a hurry to explain, La also pulled the thin quilt on his body, and the corner of the quilt was tilted, revealing a handsome little face, it turned out to be a boy of four or five years old, he didn't care He took a quick glance, and when he saw the boy's appearance, his pupils shrank, and he glared at the young man with real anger on his face.

"Why is that so? He just hit it off with me, so he just took him to the palace to play for two days. After his father finished his exams, he would be sent back. The young man didn't care much when he saw this. Throwing off the thin quilt, he hid the boy's little face in the brocade again, and after a pause, the boy's indifferent face became more interesting: "Speaking of which, I know a little about his father, Yue Qianshan, People from Cangzhou went to Zhongdu to take the exam, and when they stayed in Zhongdu, they lived in the old house of the Luo family.

Seeing that his gaze suddenly became sharp, the young man stopped his voice at the right time, paused, and then said: "Lord Luo's house has been locked down now, and Lord Luo also said he was sick for a long time, and he never went to court. Everything is still unclear now, is it true?" They are still safe and sound, but I don’t know, what will happen to them when you return to Cangzhou secretly..."

"Enough!" A low shout interrupted the boy's meaningful words, he looked at the boy solemnly, and said in a deep voice, "What do you want?"

Regarding his reaction, the young man seemed to be somewhat satisfied at last, and said with an innocent face: "I don't want to do anything, I just want to remind you to think twice before doing things, otherwise many people will be involved for no reason.

Seeing that he kept his eyes closed, a slight smile appeared on the boy's face, and he said unhurriedly: "Now, you can only cooperate with me."

Squinting his eyes at the somewhat complacent young man, he said after a while, "Cooperation? It's up to you? How can you make such a bold statement?"

"Why, just because I am the current crown prince." Looking deeply at him, the young man said indifferently: "Father Huang Yingjing is old, but I am still young!"

After all, the young man ignored him, who was a little stunned, and said to himself: "Go to You Gong Yuan, during the test period, even the imperial city guards couldn't get in there, and now the whole city is under martial law, but there is the most Safe, looked at him again, the boy said calmly: "I know you can't trust me, but it's okay, anyway, this meeting will take three days to end, give me three days, I will give you an explanation, the boy said in the end The quatrains in a sentence made him secretly startled.

Taking a deep breath, Zhang Boxing slowly came back to his senses. Last night, after all, he did not reveal that Yue Luansheng is now in the hands of the prince, so even if he knew it at this time, there was nothing he could do. Well, in just three days, he was Say to yourself from the bottom of your heart...
