The daily routine of the ancient imperial examination

Facing the imminent danger, Lu Xiuyuan continued to report to the Wu Mansion every morning and evening without noticing it.

Mr. Zhang was busy with his affairs, even if he was an apprentice, he didn't have time to take care of his apprentices on weekdays, so the task of teaching Lu Xiuyuan still fell on Mr. Wu.

Mr. Wu was going to the morning court, so he could only go to the mansion every morning to do the questions that he had prepared in advance, and wait for the lunch break to explain to him when the other party returned home.

After the day's class was over, when Lu Xiuyuan was about to go home, he kept repeating what Mr. Wu said before.

"This country and the common people in the world can't stand it anymore. It's just suitable for an honest and conservative monarch, and the eldest prince is barely suitable. The younger brother will help the first prince well from now on..."

It's not an exaggeration to call it brainwashing.

Lu Xiuyuan pressed his hungry stomach and was about to speed back to the General's Mansion for dinner, but suddenly he was blocked by a group of unknown people on the street.

"Hey! Isn't this our Master Lin? Why don't you keep running?"

The leader was a strong man with a height of 1.9 meters, and he was smiling maliciously at this time while carrying a big iron rod.

The other gangsters more or less followed behind the strong man with some equipment, surrounded Lu Xiuyuan, and directly blocked the escape route to prevent him from escaping.

Seeing that there are so many people on the other side, coupled with such a thick iron rod, Lu Xiuyuan inevitably became nervous. Hitting him with such a thick rod can kill people directly!

"Everyone, I guess you have misunderstood the person. My surname is Lu, not the Master Lin you mentioned."

Lu Xiuyuan hastily explained sincerely, hoping that the other party would not really admit the wrong person, then wouldn't he be too wronged.

Hearing this, the leader of the gangster smiled inexplicably, and then directed the people under him to prepare to go directly.

Fortunately, here is the street, surrounded by street vendors and many enthusiastic young people shopping. They saw how arrogant these gangsters were, and they couldn't help but come out to fight against injustice.

"This is the capital, at the foot of the emperor, what do you bastards want to do?! Believe it or not, I will report to the police! Let Jing Zhaoyin arrest you!"

With the words of the hot-blooded youth, many people stood up to support Lu Xiuyuan.

Although there were supporters, Lu Xiuyuan did not dare to relax. He looked at the dozen or so people in front of him. Although they were dressed in tatters, the exposed skin was clean and full of strength.

There is no doubt that this is a group of gangsters in disguise.

As he expected, when he saw the people around him bluffing over there, relying on the large number of people, the strong man directly took out two pieces of paper from his arms.

"Everyone, we didn't mean to find fault on purpose. In fact, this master Lin Siju didn't abide by the rules. He was addicted to gambling. He didn't change his debts in our place. We came here according to the rules and disabled his hands and feet. break the law."

On those two pieces of paper, one was a portrait of Lu Xiuyuan, and the other was written in black and white with the money owed by Lin Si, as well as hands and feet as collateral.

As a result, the people who helped to speak just now also stopped talking.

Unexpectedly, it was another disheartened student who failed in the scientific examination. The family worked so hard to provide for him to study, but the other party came to the capital to indulge himself so much. It was inevitable that those people would cast contempt or anger at Lu Xiuyuan. Indisputable eyes.

This time with written evidence, all actions have reasonable reasons, and those people just now no longer interfere.

Lu Xiuyuan was angry when he saw the portrait in front of him. These people are not gangsters at all, but they are obviously coming for him!

It is estimated that he has caused some serious trouble. Although it is not clear what the situation is, but seeing the scene in front of him, the other party is clearly prepared, and it is useless to explain.

Lu Xiuyuan stared at the strong man vigilantly, but when he saw behind him, his expression suddenly relaxed, revealing a surprised face.

"Prince, why are you here!"

What? !The eldest prince? !

The gangsters were startled, and couldn't help but follow Lu Xiuyuan's line of sight.

The busy streets are full of hawkers and pedestrians, how can there be a prince in a python robe? !

When he turned around again, Lu Xiuyuan had climbed over the wall and was about to slip away. Only then did the strong man realize that he had been cheated.

"It's too insidious! Brothers, let me do it! Today we must cripple his hands and feet!"

Lu Xiuyuan jumped over the wall and started running frantically along the narrow alley. By the way, he threw the clothes-drying poles and bamboo baskets by the wall behind him as obstacles. It could delay a little.

He just wanted to escape quickly and go back to the General's Mansion or Wu Mansion, but the current position was awkward, just in the middle of the two sides, and it was not close to either side.

The people behind were chasing after him. Hearing the yelling and cursing that was getting closer and closer to him, he didn't have time to throw the obstacle now, so he could only concentrate on running along the alley.

Seeing that Lu Xiuyuan was like a loach, the gangsters almost caught him every time, and gradually lost their patience.

"Brothers, throw a stick at him! See how he keeps running!"

As soon as the words were finished, Lu Xiuyuan felt a gust of cool wind blowing on the back of his head. Before his brain could react, he lowered his head first.

boom!

The iron rod passed over his head, hit the stone wall next to him, and then fell to the ground, making a bang sound.

Listening to the sound of this big iron rod, if you hit your head with this force, you will probably lose your life. These people are too cruel!

While thinking, he felt a pain in his shoulder and another blow to his back.

Unavoidably, his body staggered. Holding on to the stone wall, Lu Xiuyuan scrambled and continued to stand still and rush forward.

In a critical moment, people's potential is always unlimited. Now he can't feel the pain in his body, and his mind just thinks about running!

It's a pity that this time he didn't receive mercy from the heavens. After he turned left and right for a while, a stone wall directly blocked Lu Xiuyuan's way.

This turned out to be a dead end!

The strong man and the group of gangsters who followed closely behind him continued to run out of breath. Compared with the explosive power of escaping and the continuous power of chasing people, the latter is definitely not as good as the former.

But when the panting strong man saw the dumbfounded Lu Xiuyuan, he couldn't help but smiled triumphantly while supporting the iron rod.

"Haha! You run, keep running! Why don't you run?"

Those gangsters were exhausted from chasing people, and now they blocked people in a dead end, and many people just sat on the ground and began to watch the excitement.

Lu Xiuyuan didn't hesitate for too long. He roughly measured the height of the stone wall with his eyes, and it was about three meters. The shoes he was wearing today happened to be new shoes, non-slip, you can try them.

After making a small sprint, he took off with his right foot and landed on the rough wall, stepped up with his left foot for a second step, and at the same time raised his hands vigorously, trying to grab the top of the wall.

The strong man behind him was stunned, and he still didn't give up after reaching this point? !It's a man, but it's a pity that he offended someone. Today, the other party's hands and feet must be explained here.

The strong man threw the dagger directly from his arms, Lu Xiuyuan dodged instinctively, his strength was broken, and he could only fall back into the alley again.

"Boss, leave this person to me to deal with."

One of the gangsters stepped forward with an iron rod, and the iron weapon dragged on the stone floor, making a piercing metallic sound.

Lu Xiuyuan stared closely at the movements of the gangster in front of him, preparing for the final counterattack.It would be great if he could snatch the other party's weapon. He didn't want to give in, even if he died, he would have to drag a few people as backup.

The man slowly raised the iron rod, grinned at him and was about to smash it.

At the critical juncture, Lu Xiuyuan calmly watched the trajectory of the opponent's iron rod little by little, preparing to dodge and snatch the weapon.

Unexpectedly, things suddenly turned around.

As if in slow motion, a dart rushed into Lu Xiuyuan's line of sight, and he watched the dart carrying cold wind, aiming straight at the fragile aorta of the gangster's neck.

There was a puff, the sound of a sharp weapon entering the body.

In the next second, blood spattered, and the man collapsed on the ground clutching his neck.

"who?!"

The strong man yelled, and then looked in the direction of the dart.

Lu Xiuyuan also followed the other party's line of sight.

On the stone wall behind them, a person sat at some point.

The other party was sitting obliquely on the top of the wall, his lower legs swaying slightly, and he was looking at this side leisurely.

Because the man was against the light, he couldn't see his face clearly, so the strong man couldn't help but take a few steps closer, "It's only natural to pay off debts, we are following orders, and I hope this brother will not interfere with our affairs."

After hearing this, the other party jumped off the stone wall and landed in front of the gangster. Lu Xiuyuan could only see the back of the other party clearly.

The gangster didn't see his face clearly because of the backlight, but now the other party jumped down, and the distance is so close, he can see the troublemaker's true face clearly all at once.

This, this is...

"Ming Wang?!"

When the other punks around heard this address, they immediately gasped.

How did this king of hell come here?

Although the leading strong man was afraid, he still had some confidence in his heart. After all, both sides belonged to the camp of the second prince. As long as he explained it well, the other party would probably not interfere again.

"Ming Wang, we are doing things for the master, you see?" The strong man said, making a special gesture to prove his camp.

Unexpectedly, King Ming didn't even look at it, he directly drew a sword behind him, and pointed the sword point directly between the brows of the strong man.

When the other gangsters saw it, they panicked immediately. It's over, King Ming didn't recognize their identities, so he wouldn't treat them as ordinary gangsters and just kill them like this? !

The brawny man can't help but feel a little uncertain. He had heard people say that King Ming kills as he pleases, and he must be careful not to bump into the opponent's knife when doing things, but now that he is being pointed at by the opponent's sword, he is completely panicked. god.

He didn't want to die yet, seeing the other party not looking at the gesture, he had no choice but to move out the second prince.

"Ming Wang, our master is the second prince. We are in the same camp. That person offended the Zhao family. We were ordered to amputate his hands and feet."

As soon as the voice fell here, Lu Xiuyuan also realized that the person who attacked him was actually the Zhao family!

Guessing that it might be because of his apprenticeship and being widely known that his identity was exposed, but he didn't expect the other party to attack so quickly, and even let someone pretend to be a gangster to attack him.

If he loses his hands and feet, he will not be able to take the imperial examination in the future, and Qingyun Road will be completely eliminated. After that, even if there is someone to protect him, he will probably be disabled for the rest of his life. What a vicious thought.

It's just this King Ming...

Thinking of this, he looked at the back of the other party with some worry.

It all shows that Wang Moody is inconstant and kills as he pleases. The other party just killed that little bastard at random. Now that the strong man has revealed his identity. Since the two are in the same camp, will it be...

He began to adjust the angle secretly, ready to charge up and climb the wall to escape again at any time, even if he didn't succeed, he didn't want to just give up.

After the leader, the strong man, explained his identity, he was finally relieved to see that King Ming had finally put down his sword.

And just when he was half relieved, he saw the other party swinging the sword at a faster speed.

The next moment, the group of gangsters saw their boss's head flying into the sky, then fell heavily back into the alley, and rolled to the corner.

And the blood spurted out subsequently formed a long arc on the ground, slowly seeping into the soil under their feet.

The gangsters were all frightened, the boss had already revealed his identity, but he was still decapitated by King Ming's sword. Now that the boss is dead, the others also threw away their helmets and armor and fled.

Seeing the scene in front of him, King Ming's expression seemed to be even more excited, and he rushed forward like chopping up a chick, and within a short while he swung his sword and chopped it up.

Lu Xiuyuan looked at the man in front of him who was going crazy, and the soles of his feet inevitably felt a little weak. He stepped back and wanted to move two steps.

Unexpectedly, the slight sound of footsteps could not escape the sensitive King Ming. Hearing the movement behind him, the other party turned around with his sword in hand.

Lu Xiuyuan looked at the unstoppable blood dripping from the opponent's sword tip, and his whole body went numb.

The author has something to say: Brother Lu: I am in such a difficult situation, there is never a single day of stability!
